No-but I’m intrigued to know if it’s any good?!

Weeeell....it is very good.

But it’s got an easy room at the moment. People are desperate for Star Wars that isn’t pash. And it isn’t pash.

It’s Jon Favreau so it is a bit Iron Man. But story-wise it’s a trope. And that’s when Star Wars was at its best; when it was classic movie tropes ripped off and put into a space setting.

Favreau has been smart about this. It’s essentially a spaghetti Western.

Plus, Baby Yoda is life.

Think it’s on Netflix?! I’ll find some way to see it.

Watched it after the game last night, very good, didn't think anyone's acting let the film down, the de-ageing only jarred me for about 5 minutes.

Spoiler!!

Only scene I though was bad was when DeNiro beat up the shop keeper, I know he's an old man now but he looked so stiff and looked like a 3 year would pack more punch, should have been cut or shot differently.

I think it was actually meant to be like to that. The violent scenes were purposely understated and it worked, even though it was a gangster movie. Plenty of Scorcesse movies have shown the gratuitous violence associated with the American mafia. Thought it was brilliant movie and as much as Pacino n Denero are two of the best....Pesci edged it for me

Ray Romano was good in it too.

Is Lennon in it?
