Mandalorian and Grogu Hit Theaters as Critics Are Split on Star Wars' Big-Screen Return
TL;DR Summary
Early critics are divided: some praise The Mandalorian and Grogu as a fun, crowd-pleasing summer blockbuster, while others call it a weak, TV-like extended episode that doesn’t advance Din Djarin’s story. Grogu remains adorable, but the movie’s reworked plot and new villain—along with cameos—invite mixed feelings as audiences wait for its May 22, 2026 release.
