Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu

Hadn't realised that it's been a number of years since there was a Star Wars movie of any kind. But them cashing in on Grogu is *chef's kiss* 

Decided on a 11 a.m.-ish screening at the second home GSC so that I'm not rushing, etc. Understandably, it's more crowded than usual cos it's family friendly movie, so there's kids around. 

It wasn't until I took the first bathroom break (made the mistake of getting the cheese stick combo that came with a huge ass drink) and switched to another seat (so that I can cackle without being judged, and to get away from a couple of dudes who's BO I didn't agree with, on top of not respecting personal space by getting seats RIGHT NEXT TO ME instead of leaving a gap seat), that I realised some kid was watching something on a phone so loud that you can hear it during the quiet moments in the movie. Then I saw that it was a kid with special needs. I get that everyone needs to be out in the world and all, but the parents should know better? Idk lah. 

Went in to this not having seen much of the TV show, only going by YouTube recaps. 

• Props to the puppeteers operating Grogu... all of them. The technology underneath the robe is mind blowing sial. 
• Everything Grogu does in this is adorbs AF. Also can't believe he only baby at 50 years old. Dunno how old Yoda was back then. 
• I was also laughing at the Anzellans too, and their interaction with Grogu. 
• Was mostly busy cackling at the puppets
• We still dunno what species Grogu and Yoda are. 
• Didn't think I'd hear the name Jabba the Hutt in a Star Wars movie in 2026, or that he had a kid voiced by Jeremy Allen White. 
  
• Was wondering where Scorsese was in this, and... was it the food vendor? 
• And also props to the dudes who were actually Mandalorian-ing while Pedro phones it in for most of this LOL Oklah, he got to show his face only halfway in and presumably do some stuff, but still. 

Of all the non-Skywalker saga Star Wars movies, this one is the least objectionable (don't get me started on Rogue One). I guess you might get more of a kick out of this than me if you've seen and enjoyed the show. But if you want to just cuci mata watch Grogu, it's that kind of popcorn movie lah.
