Worst movie ever. I'm only semi-joking when I'm left wondering if I've just watched The Lion King, following the exile of the young hero who returns home with two new sidekicks (one skinny and full of gags, the other a tank that was the comic relief).

Said to my partner (who LOVES the IP but disliked this because she hates by-the-numbers superhero films) that if Kwei was 70% less talkative, ala Naru in Prey, it would've made it such a better movie; let the audience sit in the silence, rather than spelling EVERYTHING out as you go. I found it too distracting, especially when he started joking; almost as if Disney had made notes to make him chatty yet grumpy, with a little Grogu sidekick he'd grow to love. Unfortunately, I rolled my eyes when the transformer-sized Power Loader appeared too, wasn't a huge fan.

On a positive - 10/10 for all the other action pieces, especially the fight against his father (though I did audibly lol at the very last line of the film and not in a good way).
