Star Wars has to deliver a proper movie with The Mandalorian and Grogu
The long-suffering saga has been kept alive this decade by TV alone – but even that will perish if the new movie fails to extend its universe
TL;DR
- Star Wars is returning to the big screen with 'The Mandalorian and Grogu' after a six-year gap.
- The previous film, 'The Rise of Skywalker,' was criticized for narrative issues and fan service.
- The new movie needs to appeal to casual viewers and make the Star Wars galaxy feel expansive again.
- There's speculation about revealing the home planet of Yoda and Grogu's species.
- The article suggests that exploring the mystery of Yoda's species might diminish the intrigue.
- The film needs to be more than just an extended TV episode and should define the future of the franchise.
- Early reactions to the first 25 minutes are positive, praising scale and momentum, but some feel it resembles an expensive TV episode.
