The franchise launched in May 25, 1977 when ‘Star Wars’, written and directed by George Lucas, was first released in theaters. It was followed by ‘The Empire Strikes Back’ and ‘Return of the Jedi’ closing out the original franchise. Sixteen years after the last of those films hit theaters, a new prequel trilogy began with the release of ‘Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace’. It was followed by ‘Star Wars, Episode II: Attack of the Clones’ and ‘Star Wars, Episode III: Revenge of the Sith’. In 2012, Lucas sold the rights to the ‘Star Wars’ franchise to Disney who announced a new, sequel trilogy. The first film, ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’, was directed by J.J. Abrams and opened in theaters in 2015. The next, ‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi,’ is directed by Rian Johnson and opens in the winter of 2017. The ‘Star Wars’ films have made over $7.5 billion at the box-office, making it one of the highest-grossing film series of all-time.”,”post_count”:2087,”link_url”:”//screencrush.com/tags/star-wars/”,”feed_url”:”//screencrush.com/tags/star-wars/feed/”,”term_taxonomy_id”:469,”object_id”:0},{“id”:28300,”slug”:”the-mandalorian”,”title”:”The Mandalorian”,”description”:””,”post_count”:204,”link_url”:”//screencrush.com/tags/the-mandalorian/”,”feed_url”:”//screencrush.com/tags/the-mandalorian/feed/”,”term_taxonomy_id”:10452,”object_id”:0},{“id”:30741,”slug”:”the-mandalorian-and-grogu”,”title”:”The Mandalorian and Grogu”,”description”:””,”post_count”:18,”link_url”:”//screencrush.com/tags/the-mandalorian-and-grogu/”,”feed_url”:”//screencrush.com/tags/the-mandalorian-and-grogu/feed/”,”term_taxonomy_id”:12860,”object_id”:0}],”categories”:[{“id”:1,”slug”:”movie-news”,”title”:”Movie News”,”description”:””,”parent”:0,”post_count”:32311,”link_url”:”//screencrush.com/category/movie-news/”,”feed_url”:”//screencrush.com/category/movie-news/feed/”,”term_taxonomy_id”:1,”object_id”:0}],”authors”:[{“id”:595061,”slug”:”mattsinger”,”name”:”Matt Singer”,”first_name”:”Matt”,”last_name”:”Singer”,”nickname”:”mattsinger”,”description”:”Matt Singer is the editor and critic of the website ScreenCrush.com.

That said, there are some complaints amidst the compliments, mostly about the scope of the film, and the fact (or the subjective opinion I suppose) that it feels like a “longer, bigger episode” ofThe Mandaloriantelevision show rather than a full-fledged Star Warsmovie. That criticism is present in just about every single mixed to negative response toThe Mandalorian and Grogu that’s out there so far.

STAR WARS is back on the big screen and #TheMandalorianAndGrogu is a thrilling adventure full of big fights, gnarly creatures and plenty of adorable Grogu moments. It’s less about the lore and more a fun, freaky romp across the galaxy. I really dug that about it.

As someone known for not being much of a Star Wars fan, I thought Favreau & Filoni really did a great job making #TheMandalorianAndGrogu work as a standalone film that didn’t require advance knowledge of the show. A few issues, but I think Star Wars fans are really gonna love it!

#TheMandalorianAndGrogu is an energizing, action-packed adventure that any Star Wars fan can enjoy. All of the fight scenes and high-speed chases will keep you hooked.

#TheMandalorianAndGrogu is fun. A cool action flick with Mandalorian kicking tons of ass. However, as a Star Wars movie it doesn’t quite clear the bar of the quality one would come to expect from a Star Wars film. It still feels a little too tv. I wanted slightly more. pic.twitter.com/r468LdzA3s

I would call “#StarWars: #TheMandalorianAndGrogu” a pleasantly low-stakes adventure. The galaxy isn’t in danger; it’s really just a few lives, but that makes it all the more intimate and character-driven, especially in its back half. (cont’d) pic.twitter.com/DJD2CAF4cv

Jon Favreau really does take his cues from George Lucas: He’s uninterested in actors and bad at writing dialogue! Despite (because of?) that, I had a nice time with #TheMandalorianAndGrogu (even if Favs could never w/r/t how democracy dies). Puppets and Hutts, two of my faves.

#TheMandalorianandGrogu is as expected. A longer, bigger episode of the show. It has one or two stand out scenes but it feels much more interested in developing the story to new locations with new creatures than the characters.

#TheMandalorianAndGrogu is one of the weakest Star Wars movies.

An emotionless, predictable experience that doesn’t push Din Djarin anywhere interesting. Dull, unexciting fight scenes; just CGI monsters. Action figures mashed together.

A long, colorless made-for-TV movie. pic.twitter.com/DoOpve0fPC

So that’s what these people who saw the movie at its lavish world premiere (or for free at a press screening) said. It may be worth observing, however, that the early tweet reviews out ofThe Rise of Skywalkerpremiere were pretty uniformly positive as well.Actually, make that wildly, ecstatically (and now, in retrospect kind of hilariously) positive. Just something to keep in mind!

Sci-fi legend Michael Biehn is known for his gruff roles in James Cameron’s The Terminator and Aliens. He joined Star Wars in Season 2 of The Mandalorian, playing another gruff dude, this one a mercenary named Lang who works as muscle for Morgan Elsbeth.
