He is a baby, yeah.

Embo is a character from the TV show, The Twins, Adam Arkin in Clone Wars.

‘The Mandalorian and Grogu’ Reactions | The Midnight Boys

And I think watching this, I'm like, oh, the reason I call this a children's movie is because a lot of the writing and the dialogue

The Ringer-Verse

does remind me of an episode of Clone Wars.

The Ringer-Verse
‘The Mandalorian and Grogu’ Reactions | The Midnight Boys

This is a lot of Dave Filoni's original characters.

The Ringer-Verse
‘The Mandalorian and Grogu’ Reactions | The Midnight Boys

It's told in the middle of a story, so you don't actually have to push the Star Wars narrative forward that much.

The Ringer-Verse
‘The Mandalorian and Grogu’ Reactions | The Midnight Boys

So what I was left with watching this is I'm like, well, I think it pushed Grogu as a character forward.

I don't know if it did the same thing for Mando.

‘The Mandalorian and Grogu’ Reactions | The Midnight Boys

I almost think like Mando as a character was a little bit in stasis.

And that to me was just like, this could have just been a 20 minute short film.

‘The Mandalorian and Grogu’ Reactions | The Midnight Boys

And I would have been even more, like I wanted more of that section when Grogu's trying to save Mando.

The Ringer-Verse
‘The Mandalorian and Grogu’ Reactions | The Midnight Boys

I think they might have been, like, this... The Mandalorian lore...

The Ringer-Verse
‘The Mandalorian and Grogu’ Reactions | The Midnight Boys

honestly scared people.

The Ringer-Verse
‘The Mandalorian and Grogu’ Reactions | The Midnight Boys

Where I'm like, as much as I did want them to push the narrative forward in Star Wars, I was happy that we weren't in Darksaber territory.

The Ringer-Verse
‘The Mandalorian and Grogu’ Reactions | The Midnight Boys

Absolutely.

Star Wars is in its Drake era.

The Ringer-Verse
‘The Mandalorian and Grogu’ Reactions | The Midnight Boys

Now that you're saying it, Star Wars is right where Drake is now, where it is like, all right,

You you get throttled so bad and the public is so tired of you that this movie feels like, oh, do you guys want a little nostalgia?
