'Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu' review: A clumsy chapter
AP News
—
“Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu” hits theaters nearly seven years after the last “Star Wars” movie.
Creator Jon Favreau's Disney+ series about a minor character becomes a summer cinematic tentpole.
Associated Press critic Mark Kennedy says it lacks scale and ambition, turning the Mandalorian into a trigger-happy figure.
The movie relies heavily on computer effects and puppetry, with small stakes and familiar elements like X-wings and Stormtroopers.
Pedro Pascal returns as the Mandalorian, with Grogu taking center stage later.
The plot involves a dangerous mission, but Kennedy says it feels formulaic.
The PG-13-rated movie opens Friday in theaters.
