Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu on Digital Now!
Grogu is one of my favorite characters in the Star Wars Universe, not just cute, he is wily and helpful to his foster dad, Mando. Grogu is coming into his own and learning how to be a significant part of the team with Mando, sometimes troublesome, but also more and more helpful as he grows up. As with the many Marvel movies, there is just the right amount of comedy and humor to make the movie extra fun, without going over the top. The gremlin engineers are also a hit with a helpful and also comedic assist in this movie.
I did not find the movie to be an elongated episode of the tv series as some of the reviewers have said, instead, it had a double story line that I felt flowed well throughout.
Not for the youngest kids due to the violent nature of some of the scenes, but for teens and up it should work. Still one of my favorite series, I look forward to more of the Mandalorian and Grogu, this is a must own movie!

Did I mention I interviewed Mando while he was out walking with Grogu?
Great review! Grogu and Mando really make such a great team in the Star Wars universe. Whenever watching epic galactic adventures gets me hyped for space battle action, playing X Trench Run is always a super fun way to dive right into the dogfights!
