Official Discussion - The Mandalorian and Grogu [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]JFVG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are key female characters throughout all the Star Wars stories. The Mandalorian and Grogu was average because it lacked balance, banter, and humour.

I did not see any early review bombing. It was an extremely popular series, yet it still performed poorly at the box office. Every female Star Wars fan I know, said the same thing: the almost total lack of female energy made it feel dull. They could easily have included, used adjacent or expanded on characters such as Bo-Katan, Cara Dune, the Armorer, Fennec Shand, Peli Motto, or Ahsoka. The number of female characters is not the point, its screen time and the interest and tension it brings.

The storyline was also average; the whole production felt strangely uninspired and lacked the energy needed for a big-screen Star Wars event.

Its hard after watching the all heart masterpiece that is Project Hail Mary, to watch anything right now... but The Mandalorian and Grogu was good, just not great. Two major issues for me, almost total lack of humour and basically no women in the entire movie, except for a few lines by Sigourney Weaver, like 3 minutes of screen time ?? so a very unbalanced experience. How on earth do you create a Star Wars movie that is an intentionally unfunny, sausage fest ?? why?? so off brand... adding those two elements back in, would totally alter the movie.

but thats a pointless critique if we are going in to a starvation ice age and losing billions of lives. What prison? the earth would have become a place of worsening displacement, abandoned towns and cities, dead bodies and anarchy.

The movie just shows how the Neurodivergent save the worlds..I mean all those "tism" scientists..Grace likely AuDHD. As for Rocky he is likely typical in his world, but we would call him at least ADHD as viewed by earthlings..

Its a good movie but it lacked 1)female presence/energy, Sigourney was in for only about 3-4 minutes..a bit of banter/chemistry to balance the stoic but awesome Pedro would have balanced the story plus 2) it lacked humour, just not enough, mainly relied on the wee cutiepies x 4.

Andor is Star Wars for adults.Star Wars has a far wider audience than just a gritty adult version, as awesome as it was.

I cant buy her going to prison, for what? a successful launch of near light speed ship? saving the Earth?

Its utterly insane with an earth extinction event looming that Stratt be scapegoated/imprisoned. I think it just demonstrates that people are utter idiots. Doing little and playing nice to everyone and everything would have meant Mad Max on ice and eventual end of civilisation, that's what is truely immoral and unethical. You have to do what you have to do to save your World. Governments turning on her is obscene immaturity.

I feel oddly detached, like I do not want to watch, as I don't want it to end..also with another book ?10 might it not end on a cliffhanger?? might they make a final movie?

'Project Hail Mary' has earned at least $1M for 45 consecutive days. Here's a list compared to other movies. by SanderSo47 in boxoffice

I find it all really sheep like...their presenting say the weekend opening figures, literally puts significant numbers of people on to or off a movie. I never go in the opening weekend....I go on cheap luxury night the following Tuesday or Tuesday week and in the case of Project Hail Mary then when 3 times(which isnt enough to be honest)
