LEGO Star Wars: The Mandalorian | Average Guy Movie Review

A brick-built recap of Din Djarin’s adventures with his little green friend, in a galaxy far, far away. So, The Mandalorian & Grogu has landed on Disney+ , and you might be thinking I need to revisit the show before checking it out. But that could take a while. Maybe you don’t have that kind of time. Well, a Danish construction toy company has got you covered. That’s right. Lego ’s latest colab with Lucasfilm – which landed on Disney+ along side the dynamic duo’s first feature length outing – is a handy little summary of the intergalactic bounty hunting team’s escapades. Previously on The Mandalorian (and The Book of Boba Fett ), if you will. Obviously, it does come with Lego ’s signature brand of wackiness – which is far from a bad thing – and a more family friendly spin. Certainly, for Mando, anyway. But Lego and Star Wars have always been a winning combination, and LEGO Star Wars: The Mandalorian is no different. It is both a fun recap and a crazy adventure all its own. Of c...

The Mandalorian & Grogu | Average Guy Movie Review

Mandalorian bounty hunter Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) and his apprentice Grogu continue to hunt down wanted men throughout the galaxy. Only now they're working for the New Republic. In order to gain intel on the whereabouts of a particularly illusive imperial officer, Mando and his little friend are forced to do a job for Jabba the Hutt's siblings, who took over his territory after his death. They want the duo to rescue Jabba's son, Rotta (Jeremy Allen White) from the planet Shakari, where he is forced to participate in gladiatorial games. So the first Star Wars  movie to hit cinemas in seven years is a leap from streaming platform to the big screen for Mando and his adorable little friend. It's an arguably safe move, I'll give you that, but also a smart one. In the year when NASA sent people to the moon for the first time in half a century, the bosses at Lucasfilm  are apparently following a similar plan. And much as Artemis II worked for the legendary space agency, ...

The Book of Boba Fett | Moustache Trailer Reaction

The first teaser for The Book of Boba Fett  has arrived, and it seems that the legendary bounty hunter - although I don't think he wants to be called that anymore - wasn't finished after he reclaimed his famous armour and took control of Jabba the Hutt's palace. If you haven't seen the trailer, or you just want to watch it again, check it out below. We always knew that Fett wouldn't just kick back and relax after taking Jabba's palace. This was never about a home. But it really is about time that this fan favourite character, this mysterious and infamous bounty hunter got to be more than just the guy who crashed and fell into a Sarlacc pit. Temuera Morrison finally got the chance to explore what Boba Fett is capable of in The Mandalorian  season 2, as he and Fennec Shand (Ming-Na Wen) helped Mando (Pedro Pascal) rescue little Grogu from Moff Gideon (Giancarlo Esposito). Their promise fulfilled, and Jabba's palace now under their control, it's time to fin...
