Why should we care?
This is kind of the big one, right? Over the past several years, we’ve seen almost 24 hours of the Mandalorian and Grogu across 24 episodes/chapters of their TV show. If this is merely Chapter 25, what could happen to warrant us paying $15 to see two hours in the theater, when we can see 24 hours for half that much as part of a monthly Disney+ subscription? We don’t have the answer to that but that will be the big challenge. Have Favreau and Filoni found a story that demands to be made a cinematic event? Or is it just two episodes of the show as one? “This new story is a perfect fit for the big screen,” Kathleen Kennedy says, and it better be.
