The Mandalorian and Grogu should have been a season of TV
The Mandalorian and Grogu has been criticized for not living up to expectations as a standalone film. The movie, which follows the titular characters in a new bounty hunting adventure, lacks the compelling storytelling that made the original series popular. Critics suggest that it would have been better as a new season of the show rather than a separate project.
- ▪The Mandalorian and Grogu is set shortly after the events of the show's third season.
- ▪The film features strong puppetry but suffers from a predictable story and lackluster action.
- ▪Critics believe the film would have been more successful as a continuation of the series.
