Lucasfilm used its part of the Disney Showcase at D23 to both tease the second season of “Andor” and offer the first tease of “The Mandalorian & Grogu” movie. First up, the second season of “Andor” had little on offer – no artwork, release date or stills – just a behind-the-scenes featurette only for the […]
I’ll assume for the mandalorian movie to make sense you’ll need to have seen the full series? And for that one might also want/need to watch some of the boba fett one?
That would feel like a lot of homework for a movie for anyone, who is not a huge fan.
To be fair, it has probably been the most popular of the Star Wars shows with a lot of casual audiences getting Disney+ just for it.
Also based on the ending of S3, it might be a bit of a fresh start, as long as they do a minor bit of explanation on who Mando is and that Gorgu survived order 66 there’s nothing too important they’ll be missing
given the spanking doctor strange received for requiring audience participation in a tv series, i don’t think disney are going to do that again
Yeah the marvel comparison comes to mind. And if I remember correctly that was just a single season of WandaVision. So much less compared to the 3+boba Fett crossover in this case.
There definitely is a good amount of overlap between movie and tv audiences, especially for something like Star Wars, but they definitely aren’t completely the same.
By the same token, there’s a long tradition of successful shows eventually “getting a movie,” with varying degrees of success of course. They may bungle it, but it’s not like it’s an unprecedented challenge for screenwriters.
But those aren’t usually big budget movies, right? Probably more in line with the cost of a few episodes. And how often do they get a theatrical release?
I’m obviously just speculating here, but i assume the Star Wars Mandalorian movie will get a proper release with a marketing campaign and all the jazz. Doubt they’ll just make something cheap and drop it straight on D+.
Agreed, and I guess Star Trek would be the gold standard here, though many TV series would get a movie that received broad release, even if it wasn’t expected to be an absolute blockbuster. It doesn’t happen quite so much anymore, so, like, it’s an older code, sir, but it checks out.
I doubt it will require more than knowing he’s a mandalorian with a baby Yoda sidekick.
