Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu - Nerd Alert Movie Review & Recap
When Disney first announced The Mandalorian & Grogu, I was cautiously optimistic. Translating the smaller-scale storytelling style of the Disney+ series into a theatrical experience felt risky. Plus, this would be their first venture from a theaterical standpoint to tell stories beyond the film characters we are very familiar with. It was almost like an uber Nerd's paradise because all the characters are from television shows, animated series, novels, and comic books.
