## Resource

Matthew Fox and Erin McGowan recorded this less than two hours after walking out of “The Mandalorian and Grogu,” and they did not land in the same place. Erin found it a charming, Clone Wars-nostalgic adventure. Matthew respected the fun moments but couldn’t shake the feeling that three solid TV episodes had been stretched into a theatrical release and then asked to justify the format.The debate gets specific: Does Grogu actually grow in this film, or is Mando the one who regresses? What do you do with a 10-foot emotionally complex slug as your secondary protagonist? Is the Hutt Cartel quietly being written out of Star Wars lore? And with Coyne showing up and then essentially stepping aside, what is the New Republic actually building toward? The full breakdown with Alex Kormann comes later this week.
