\n\tBack when it was known simply as \u201cStar Wars,\u201d the movie that changed the world \u2014 and launched George Lucas\u2019s ever-expanding universe of mythical sci-fi \u2014 seemed as born for the big screen as any movie of its era. \u201cStar Wars\u201d said to its fans: Here\u2019s a swashbuckling Zen space opera of irresistible vastness<\/em> \u2014 a world large enough to colonize your imagination. To do that, \u201cStar Wars\u201d needed to be epic, and was.<\/p>\n

\n\tBut by the time \u201cThe Mandalorian\u201d came along, in 2019 (42 years after the original movie), the world of \u201cStar Wars\u201d had expanded to the point that in its very omnipresence, as well as its hyperactive digital-age busy-ness<\/em> (a quality launched with \u201cThe Phantom Menace\u201d in 1999), it felt larger than ever\u2026and also smaller. More had become less. That\u2019s why \u201cThe Mandalorian,\u201d created by Jon Favreau as the \u201cStar Wars\u201d universe\u2019s first live-action television series, was the perfect solution to what had become The \u201cStar Wars\u201d Problem.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe prequels, then the sequels, were all trying \u2014 oh, were they trying \u2014 to be true \u201cStar Wars\u201d movies. Yet the bar had been set impossibly high. A couple of the later films were all right, a number were not, to the point that the sound of fans fighting about them (\u201c\u2018The Phantom Menace\u2019 sucked!\u201d \u201cI felt the thrill again with \u2018Revenge of the Sith\u2019!\u201d \u201c\u2018The Force Awakens\u2019 was chintzy fan service!\u201d \u201c\u2018The Last Jedi\u2019 was great!\u201d \u201cNo, it was a mess!\u201d \u201c\u2018The Rise of Skywalker\u2019 was too woke!\u201d) may have produced more dramatic sparks than anything in the films themselves. My own attitude always came down this: The \u201cStar Wars\u201d brand had become an industry \u2014 but none of these movies could ever truly recreate what \u201cStar Wars\u201d and \u201cThe Empire Strikes Back\u201d had.<\/p>\n

\n\tYet part of the low-key, shaggy-dog success of \u201cThe Mandalorian\u201d is that it didn\u2019t try to. The small screen was arguably the perfect home for repackaged \u201cStar Wars\u201d nostalgia that didn\u2019t pretend to be anything else. Whereas the movies showcased dynastic battles and striving, conflicted characters who were increasingly grandiose, the hero of \u201cThe Mandalorian,\u201d a bounty hunter who almost never takes off his helmet of gleaming beskar, is a character who would have been listed 15th in the credits of a \u201cStar Wars\u201d movie \u2014 and, in fact, he was essentially spun off from the armored figure of Boba Fett, who started out as a supporting gunslinger in \u201cThe Empire Strikes Back\u201d and \u201cReturn of the Jedi.\u201d But that made the Mandalorian the perfect figure of lightweight gravitas to anchor a TV series; it was like watching a sci-fi version of \u201cThe Virginian\u201d or \u201cKung Fu\u201d or \u201cBaretta.\u201d And in \u201cStar Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu,\u201d the deluxe movie version of the series, he\u2019s every bit as cozy and compact a figure.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Mandalorian, whose real name is Din Djarian (but he\u2019s usually called Mando), is a slightly forbidding dude in dark armor and a geometric breastplate, with a voice of ominous neutrality that\u2019s been slightly electronically altered, which gives him a mild Darth Vader echo, though this is no villain \u2014 he\u2019s more like Darth Nicer. In his gun-wielding invincibility, he may remind you a bit of RoboCop, though with a flourish of \u201cStar Wars\u201d valor; call him Han Robo. On the rare occasions when he takes off his helmet, we see the mustached face of Pedro Pascal, who is such an agreeable actor that you may have trouble re-imagining him as a badass.<\/p>\n

\n\tAnd though Din Djarian has a touch of revenge-thriller mercilessness about him, that\u2019s more than offset by the fact that his apprentice and symbolic son is Grogu, an infant member of the same humanoid-alien species as Yoda. Grogu never speaks; he just coos like the Snuggle Bear from the fabric-softener commercials. But what I\u2019ve always found slightly absurd about him is that in \u201cThe Empire Strikes Back,\u201d the whole idea of how Yoda looked \u2014 shriveled skin, wisps of white hair, deeply furrowed high forehead \u2014 emerged from the fact that he was a wizened, ancient<\/em>, 900-year-old master of the Force. He was a very old man<\/em>. So it makes absolutely no sense that an infant version of him \u2014 a character originally known as Baby Yoda \u2014 would look like that. (Yoda\u2019s furrows reflected 900 years of thinking.) I bring this up only to make the point that that\u2019s <\/em>how possessed the Lucas universe had become with creating toys and dolls to market.<\/p>\n

\n\tAll that said, Grogu, like Din Djarian, is what he is: an unabashed TV-friendly mascot-product. These two were made for the small screen, where they can intersect with the narrative tentacles of other \u201cStar Wars\u201d series, like \u201cAhsoka\u201d and \u201cThe Book of Boba Fett.\u201d The ironic reason I would say they translate just fine to the big screen is that they bring with them our collective sense of lowered expectations. I found \u201cThe Mandalorian and Grogu\u201d to be fun in a slightly flat way. But because the movie has so little pretense, it\u2019s basically an invitation to wallow in the lite \u201cStar Wars\u201d nostalgia that\u2019s there in every frame.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the opening set piece, Mando, who has been hired to hunt down the remnants of the Empire forces that are still scattered across the galaxy (the film is set roughly a year after the end of the original \u201cStar Wars\u201d trilogy), invades one such enclave. He shoots the place up and lays waste to a couple of All Terrain Walkers \u2014 the dinosaur-like giant armored combat vehicles that were so cool in \u201cThe Empire Strikes Back,\u201d and that now adorn the series like an iconic hood ornament. This battle has spectacle, but the rest of the movie is really a crime thriller in \u201cStar Wars\u201d drag.<\/p>\n

\n\tBack at the New Republic base camp, Mando is given a mission by Col. Ward, played by newcomer Sigourney Weaver with a snappish \u201cYes, I belong in a \u2018Star Wars\u2019 movie\u2026but not totally\u201d hauteur. He\u2019s to journey to Nal Hutta, swampy home planet of the Hutts, and arrange to rescue Rotta the Hutt (son of the deceased crime lord Jabba the Hutt), who has been taken prisoner. Rotta is voiced by Jeremy Allen White with a cocksure geniality that makes him the first bro Hutt. Mando will return Rotta in exchange for a crucial piece of information. At least, that\u2019s the plan. But you can\u2019t trust the Hutts. And who would, given that every one of them looks like the Creature from the Black Lagoon crossed with a giant slug melted into a pile of excrement?<\/p>\n

\n\tRotta has been made into a gladiatorial fighter, bound to a contract by Janu (Jonny Coyne), the warlord gangster. Mando frees him soon enough (after a funny encounter with a four-armed simian food-truck chef voiced with high anxiety by Martin Scorsese). He also succeeds in capturing Janu, though that just sets up the film\u2019s real battle: between the Mandalorian and Grogu and Rotta\u2019s relatives, known as the Twins. They have plenty of power to unleash on Mando, who will be placed in a water pit, where he faces off against a dragon-snake (a very fleshy set of jaws), who bites and poisons him, which means it\u2019s now up to Grogu to rescue his master, which he does with the aplomb of an even more cuddly Ewok.<\/p>\n

\n\tWill audiences go into \u201cThe Mandalorian and Grogu\u201d expecting a full-blown \u201c\u2018Star Wars\u2019 movie?\u201d I\u2019d say yes\u2026and no. Will they turn out for it in the requisite numbers? By nudging \u201cThe Mandalorian\u201d onto the big screen, Disney, the purveyor of the \u201cStar Wars\u201d multiverse, is offering nothing more (or less) than a couple of likable, diverting, semi-forgettable episodes jammed together, albeit with the lavishly scaled action of a big-budget movie adventure. Yet there\u2019s no escaping that \u201cThe Mandalorian and Grogu\u201d comes at us with a tidy small-screen consciousness. The upshot is that maybe that\u2019s what \u201cStar Wars\u201d now is.<\/p>\n
