Celebrations of the latest Star Wars movie, featuring Din Djarin and Grogu, are everywhere! Theaters, parks, and even games!
The Mandalorian and Grogu is out!
After waiting for months and being bombarded on social media with hundreds of ads, The Mandalorian is finally available for everyone to see. There are a lot of people who love it and many others who didn’t, just like with every Star Wars project released after the original trilogy.
If the internet has taught us something, it’s that the most vocal side of the fandom doesn’t necessarily speak for the general audience. For better or worse.
My recommendation is that you go watch it with an open mind. Ideally, without being predisposed to like/dislike it because of what you see online. If you’re curious, my spoiler-free review goes over my impressions and overall experience.
The Mandalorian and Grogu Movie Review (Spoiler-Free)RIP Tom Kane
Earlier this week, we learned the sad news about Tom Kane’s passing. His name might not ring a bell initially, but I guarantee that most of you know him.
Tom Kane is mostly known for being the iconic narrator of The Clone Wars. He also voiced Yoda, Admiral Yularen, and Admiral Ackbar.
