Star Wars Generations takes a deep dive in to the movie everyone’s been talking about. Matthew Alex, and Erin each saw “The Mandalorian and Grogu” - Erin and Alex saw it twice - and came back with very different scorecards: Alex at a solid 7 and warming, Erin filling six notebook pages, Matthew the most skeptical of the three but glad Star Wars is in theaters again.They dig into what the movie actually gets right: the creature work, the score, the Anzelens stealing scenes, the Hutt-on-Hutt violence nobody knew they needed. And they do not let the weaker choices slide. Rotta the Hutt’s “I just want to be my own man” dialogue, Sigourney Weaver as a glorified NPC, the absent acknowledgment of Carl Weathers, and the tacked-on space battle all get their moment. Was this a soft relaunch or a missed opportunity? That’s the question still hanging in the air when the credits roll.
