I know this won’t sit well with a lot of Star Wars fans, but excuse me for asking, “Why in the world does anyone like The Mandalorian and Grogu?” There’s no drama to speak of, certainly no great acting; the action was ho-hum. If you ask me, this is the poster child for today’s average Hollywood/Disney movie.
I have no idea why Pedro Pascal ever agreed to take this role. The character is defined by being emotionless. There are literally hundreds of actors who could have done just as good a job in this role, because it demands so little talent to portray an emotionless warrior who is behind a mask that hides any facial expressions except for a few scenes. This role reminds me of Hugo Weaving’s masterful job as V in V for Vendetta. We never see Hugo’s face, but he projects such a presence through his mannerisms and vocal tones. Hugo shows what is possible with a character that has zero facial expressions. The writing, directing, and acting of Mando’s role remind me of Brie cheese: it’s like cheese, with all the cheese flavor squeezed out of it.

There were two things that I did like about the movie. It was great to see Sigourney Weaver as an X-Wing pilot, and the character Rotta the Hutt was genuinely good stuff; both well-written and voice-acted. Good enough that it could have carried a lot more weight.

This app is the best wingman for a movie goer, especially when you have to go. It even has a vibrating timer that is spot on for those 'go times' some of us need! There are many other features that are wonderful. It even lets you know when the kill scenes are coming up for the people and animals for those who may have sensitivities to that type of content. The staff go above and beyond!

Creator and developer of the RunPee app. When something doesn’t work right in the app it’s pretty much his fault. 🙂
Aspiring author. Would like to finish his “Zombie Revelations” trilogy if he could break away for working on RunPee and the cottage he’s building for RunPee Mom.
