He is canonically Din Grogu and when they start calling him Din Grogu, they don't stop calling him Din Grogu, which speaks to kind of what you're saying, which is this movie is in this insane damned if you do, damned if you don't place where the movies have just been on ice.
The TV shows have become this unwieldy thing.
Grogu as a character is the one thing that undeniably has been working for them.

I would say this movie fails on that front.
It is crazy to me that it's not just several episodes mushed together, that he claims all of that was thrown out and that would potentially maybe be a season four episode.
