On the surface, The Mandalorian and Grogu is just a movie. It doesn’t have to justify its existence. All it has to do is entertain us, help us escape reality for a little bit, and not make us regret the cost of a ticket. That’s all it, or any movie, really has to do to be a success.

By all measures, with those stakes, it’s a success.

However, this isn’t just any movie. It’s a Star Wars movie. And we expected a lot more.
