"The Mandalorian and Grogu" (2026) -- Initial Thoughts

My cheeks hurt from smiling for two hours straight.

I fully expect to see this again in the theater, probably repeatedly.  So I'll write a more complete review of the movie after I've seen it at least one more time.  

For now, just know that this feels exactly like the show, with a bigger screen and a bigger budget.  The vibe is still Spaghetti-Western-with-Spaceships like always, the characters are as lovely and huggable as ever, and the storytelling is still delightfully low on dialog and high on action.

It did feel a bit draggy for about five minutes in the middle.  Second viewing might change my feeling on that, dunno.

But that's it.  That's the review.  If you love the show, you'll dig it.  If you don't love the show, your mileage may vary.
