Pop Culture Happy Hour
Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu and What’s Making Us Happy

It is fun.

Pop Culture Happy Hour
Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu and What’s Making Us Happy

I did enjoy it.

Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu and What’s Making Us Happy

But I've almost forgotten it already.

Pop Culture Happy Hour
Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu and What’s Making Us Happy

You know, there's just Star Wars and the blockbusters they begat were once special by virtue of their scarcity or at least them being sort of a seasonal thing.

And this is just kind of, you know, the latest thing coming off the production line and it's fine.

Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu and What’s Making Us Happy

But it is a little disappointing that there isn't even one thing about it that I can say is special.

Pop Culture Happy Hour
Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu and What’s Making Us Happy

Yeah.

Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu and What’s Making Us Happy

No, I mean, how many times in the last, what, 27 years have you said, okay, but Duel of the Fates, but that fight was cool in The Phantom Menace.

Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu and What’s Making Us Happy

I only hunt down Imperial War criminals.

I don't work for gangsters anymore, especially the Hutts.

Look, I mean, you cannot pander to me personally any harder than putting Sigourney Weaver in a science fiction movie.

Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu and What’s Making Us Happy

And she looks so bored.

Pop Culture Happy Hour
Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu and What’s Making Us Happy

I've never seen Sigourney Weaver look more bored than she does, even when she puts on the flight suit, which kind of feels like some, you know, Dave Filoni in Midjourney is like, put Ripley in a Star Wars uniform.

Pop Culture Happy Hour
Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu and What’s Making Us Happy

that's hard for me to take.

Pop Culture Happy Hour
Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu and What’s Making Us Happy

But on the other end of it, we have Jeremy Allen White, prize-fighting rot of the hut, who does get to say, I'm my own man, which made me chuckle.

Pop Culture Happy Hour
Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu and What’s Making Us Happy

And then he says that and other like sentiments entirely too many times, leaving aside the fact that we have Jeremy Allen White with his voice so digitally altered as to be unrecognizable.

Pop Culture Happy Hour
Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu and What’s Making Us Happy

Absolutely unrecognizable.

How
