Hi.
Yeah.
So I will say this is kind of the way, or at least it was kind of the way for me.
I think this movie's biggest pro is also its biggest con in that it feels like a long episode of that TV show.
The way I like that is that, you know, I think modern Star Wars movies have all felt very burdened.
You know, it's like they can't just tell a fun space story.
They have to...
introduce classic characters and sometimes kill them and set up theme park rides and video games and all that stuff can really subtract from fun like because you're setting up all this stuff or paying off stuff that happened in the 80s you're maybe not having as much fun as you can and i think this movie just kind of dispenses with that and has a lot of fun it's basically a
Seven or eight action scenes strung together with a little bit of dialogue and a little bit of story.
And yeah, and there's part of me that's like, hey, cool, awesome.
I don't have to have read a novel and ridden a Disneyland ride to understand this.
I just kind of have to know who the Mandalorian is.
But also there's a sense of like...
what are we doing here?
You know, why is this not just three episodes of a TV show?
I think all in all, I had a fun time in the theater and some of the cool stuff is really cool.
The practical stuff really pops in this.
But yeah, there's a little bit of a sense of it's kind of just empty calories.
And I looked up the character that Dave Filoni plays does have a name.
I forget exactly what it is, but it's something like Howdy Flyboy.
