Okay.

And sort of raised my hopes somewhat.

We still don't really know what it's about or what the stakes are.

And so, you know, 70% of the marketing thus far has been, isn't Grogo cute, which he is.

Don't get me wrong.

But is this...

A toy tie-in, or is there an actual story here?

Or look, are we getting back to the early days of Mando before it became about the Mandoverse and we're incorporating every character from the Filoni-verse and it was just, we're having an adventure of the week, you know?

It's a procedural.

It's my buddy Mando, my buddy Din, and his little buddy baby Grogu.

That, I think, if we get back to that vibe, that could actually be a good thing.

I think the problem with it is it's Star Wars return to the big screen for the first time in seven years and the stain of the rise of Skywalker.

We have to unlearn what we have learned.

We have to put that aside, I think, and not saddle it with the expectations of Star

this is what we usually expect when we go to the multiplex to see a Star Wars movie.

Maybe it'll just feel like this should have been a season of TV, which it was originally.

And to be clear, I don't need to know until I see it.

You know, I don't want to know.

I'm fine with not having anything revealed for now.

That's the question.
