I had been hearing that The Mandalorian and Grogu felt like a few different episodes of the TV show strung together to make something feature-length. Then when I went ahead and saw this feature film, I found myself agreeing with that assessment! But I was nevertheless perfectly pleased with my decision to see this adventure on the big screen. For one thing, it was such a delight to hear Ludwig Göransson’s theme in surround sound. And the other music he composed was also banging!  Plus, I could watch Grogu scamper and float about all day, particularly when he’s accompanied by those Babu Frik-species critters. All of those elements were in plentiful supply, and they all felt like home. And y’all know I love feeling like home when I’m at the multiplex.

Is this The Way? It’s certainly A Way.
