'The Mandalorian and Grogu' review: Worst Star Wars film, barely a movie
The Mandalorian and Grogu is criticized as the worst Star Wars film, barely qualifying as a movie. Seven years after The Rise of Skywalker's debacle, the saga returns to theaters, showing how deeply Disney+ DNA has infiltrated it. The film features a character named Rotta the Hutt, played by Jeremy Allen White from The Bear, whose rescue plot echoes the 2008 animated film Star Wars: The Clone Wars, where Jedi rescued the same Rotta. The self-aware joke is that this time the rescuers are a Mandalorian and his son, not Jedi.
