I went and saw it in theaters. It was pretty good. Not earth shattering, but it just basically felt like a really long episode of the show.
Also, Zeb from Rebels was pretty prominent and I’m a sucker for Rebels characters.
Did it feature ya boi and kiwi legend Temuera Morrison?
Sadly, no Morrison appearance in this movie. Would have been cool to have Wrex show up or something and have him play him in live action.
Damn it Mike, what did you do?
Never even heard that this was a thing.
No wonder people aren’t going to see it.I just assumed it was a streaming movie. Basically just a long episode.
Wait that was in theaters? Wow. I assumed the whole thing went to shit while it was still a show.
They should’ve made it a buddy comedy where they do a bunch of drugs.
This is the way… To Fear and Loathing
Why would I pay $100 to see this movie when I’ll get to see it in a few months with a Disney+ subscription?
I’m not from the US, but the fuck you mean 100 dollars for a movie ticket?
Add popcorn and a friend, and you’re easily at $100. Movie theaters overcharge out the wazoo, it’s why I stopped going.
I went and saw it for $70 with myself and my three kids, plus popcorn and a drink. Unless you’re in a high cost of living place like New York City or San Fran, it’s not THAT bad. Not great, but not quite that bad.
In SF, on a matinee, $77 for the 3D IMAX. The movie was mid. If my son didn’t want to see it, I’d have waited for D+
Edit forgot to say, 2 adults, 2 kids. + Another $20 for Popcorn and an icee for the kids to split
Well that checks out for San Fran. That city is expensive as fuck. I don’t know how anybody affords to live there, but I’m glad you’re making it work.
Getting a friend for $100 doesn’t sound too bad. Do you have to give them back at the end of the movie was it more rental agreement?
Didn’t know this was a thing. I thought this trick ended a while ago?
This was supposed to be the final season but because of the success of the series they decided to try to make it into a movie instead
Andor is the only star wars property that was in any good, and that’s also because they ended it in 2 seasons. The rest are milked into mediocrity.
I liked all 3 seasons of Mandalorian, I will say this movie wasn’t amazing though.
From Disney: Rogue One is season 3 of Andor, but you’re correct, it’s a phenomenal trilogy. Look to the animations; there are some great stories there. Bad Batch is pretty good. Rebels is great, and could make your eyes leak. If you soldier through all of Clone Wars… season 7 might be some of the best stars to war. I know multiple men it’s made cry.
Rip 99, you didn’t deserve this
There’s a new Star Wars movie?
Bros, you killed the franchise with all the mediocre shit you pumped out. You bought an IP, you drove it into the ground by shoveling out a bunch of cash-grab trash, and now you wonder why people aren’t lining up for your new movie?
Are you kidding? There is literally no industry in which this strategy works. walmart might as well put out a special new “locally made” brand on their shelves, and marvel at why people aren’t falling over themselves to buy it.
The sequels were garbage. I dont think I ever need to watch them again.
we 👏🏻 don’t 👏🏻 have 👏🏻 money 👏🏻 for 👏🏻 movies
The cost to go with a movie with one friend is around $30-35 where I live. This assumes buying no concessions.
The cost to buy that movie on a physical format (assuming it releases on one) is $20-30 depending on whether that format is DVD or Blu-Ray.
A lot of folks right now could not afford either option. But even for those who can, the math doesn’t math on movie theaters.
And while concessions have been overpriced forever, they’ve really gone nuts with it recently. I was gonna buy a large bag of popcorn, a bottled water, and 2 sodas and it was gonna be like 50 bucks.
True and If I do have money to spend on a movie I want something new and good not more milking of starwars witch has become slop.
starwars witch
I think the Acolyte aeries was dealing with Star wars witches.
Ahsoka had 'em. Never watched acolyte tho
Did not see it and I am haapy.
Keep it that way.
First time even hearing it exists. Did they bother to market it?
They did the late night rounds with Pascal, showed trailers & I guess a fast food joint has Grogu shaped French fry containers.
I think Disney figured out early that they are hitting a wall with franchise fatigue. Hopefully in the future this will inform their decisions, but I doubt it. Greedy evil little mouse needs another McMansion.
I saw it pop up before I saw hail mary. But I’m also just going to watch it outside of cinemas if I get round to it
I’ve been staying with family that watch broadcast TV and Hulu all week, and it was every other ad spot.
So… No.
They made a burger and chicken fries for Burger King.
The Mandalorian was initially meant to be a side series for fans. It was lower budget, practical effects, and little to no core characters from the main franchise. Unfortunately, basically every other Star Wars IP fell flat on its face since then, so by default, The Mandalorian is now the flagship Star Wars storyline. The movie was good as a nice side story for fans, it was bad as a franchise-running blockbuster. It’s really amazing how many bad decisions Disney had to make to end up here.
The way the Boba Fett series flopped and tried, repeatedly, to draft on the Mandalorian’s success within 1 session…ooofda.
Did their viewer base ask for a movie? I enjoy the seasonal format but don’t want to see a movie.
What an odd question. As if they care what the viewer base wants. As with all things Disney, this was a marketing decision spat out by a computer using obsolete data.
They couldn’t do Season 4 for… reasons, pared down the scripts, and did this.
And enough people are familiar with the TV shows existence to think “I’m not watching multiple seasons of some show to see a movie”
Exactly this, IMHO.
The Wandering Monk theme was doing very well. I think the massively positive reaction to Grogu caused an abrupt shift in story, pacing, content, and now delivery, all to capitalize on the potential Grogu toy tie-in.
The series has been excellent. I’d love more of the same, and if we could get 22-ep seasons (as was the standard) I’d be overjoyed.
This is the movie equivalent of “this meeting could have been an email”.
it wasn’t bad. but felt like it should have been a whole 5 episode season than a movie.
I don’t know who started this trend to change before release a series to a movie or a movie to a series but it’s probably already time to stop
Not sure if it’s a trend, but that happened to Moana 2.
Weird, what company made this Moana 2 you speak of?
