Oh boy, are you guys ready for some epic news? 🚀👽 For the first time in seven years, there’s a new Star Wars movie headed to theaters, and I’m sure it’s going to be a total masterpiece 🙄. I mean, who needs a good plot or character development when you have Baby Yoda, right? 🐒👶
So, the most important question is: Does it at least not suck as much as the last Star Wars movie? 🤔 Because, let’s be real, that one was a total dumpster fire 🚮. But hey, based on the first reactions out of The Mandalorian and Grogu world premiere in Los Angeles and some early press screenings, the new movie is an improvement, if not a gigantic one 🤷♀️. I mean, who doesn’t love a fun Star Wars movie, right? 🎉 It’s not like we’re expecting any actual substance or anything 🙅♂️.
The overall tone of the first wave of social-media reviews is positive, with praise for the action, the creatures, and especially for Baby Yoda himself and the amazing puppeteering involved with bringing Grogu to life 🤩. I mean, who needs a good story when you have a cute, cuddly creature to distract you from the lack of plot? 🐻👀 The word “fun” gets tossed around a lot in these tweets and posts, and hey, who doesn’t like a fun Star Wars movie? 🎊 It’s not like we’re expecting any actual depth or emotion or anything 🙄.
That said, there are some complaints amidst the compliments, mostly about the scope of the film, and the fact (or the subjective opinion I suppose) that it feels like a “longer, bigger episode” of The Mandalorian television show rather than a full-fledged Star Wars movie 📺. I mean, who needs a real movie when you can just stretch out a TV episode and call it a day? 📻👍 That criticism is present in just about every single mixed to negative response to The Mandalorian and Grogu that’s out there so far 🤔.
And, of course, we have to include some obligatory photos of Pedro Pascal at The Mandalorian and Grogu premiere, because, why not? 🤷♂️ I mean, who doesn’t love a good photo of a handsome actor in a fancy suit? 📸👔 It’s not like we’re here to talk about the actual movie or anything 🙅♂️.
So, The Mandalorian and Grogu opens in theaters on May 22, and ScreenCrush’s review will be out next week 📆. But let’s be real, who needs a real review when you can just read the tweets of people who saw the movie for free at a press screening? 🤣 It’s not like they’re going to be biased or anything 🙄. And may the Schwartz be with you 🖖️, because, why not? 🤷♀️
