The Mandalorian and Grogu Review: Pedro Pascal, Puppets & Problems

Jason, Rachel and Jesh continue the Thumb War Star Wars rewatch with a spoiler-filled review of The Mandalorian and Grogu.

Is it a real Star Wars movie, or does it feel like The Mandalorian Season 4 got squeezed into a theatrical release? We discuss Grogu as a character vs. Grogu as a toy, Pedro Pascal’s helmet-based performance, the lack of stakes, the surprisingly strong opening sequence, Sigourney Weaver, Jeremy Allen White, Rotta the Hutt, Dave Filoni cameos, Star Wars fatigue, and whether Baby Yoda still has the juice.

Ash came in with a more generous take. Jason and Rachel came in with notes. Many, many notes.

Spoilers for The Mandalorian and Grogu and the broader Star Wars universe.
