February 3Feb 3 CB Team It sounds like we're getting a new Mandalorian and Grogu trailer during the Super Bowl. I know the first teaser trailer didn't go over well with everyone, so what can Lucasfilm show in the Super Bowl spot to get you excited?I'd like some establishing of the general stakes so we understand why this story had to be a movie instead of season 4 of the TV show. The first teaser didn't really do anything in setting up what the story is. I know Lucasfilm likes secrecy, but I think this is a case where they need to peel the curtain back a bit more.
February 3Feb 3 CB Team Stakes is definitely something they need to make clear. If we've spent three years watching this at home, audiences NEED a reason to get out of the house and go. Think about any other TV show that has made the transition to a movie, there's always been a clear thing (for the successful ones) that showed how they were using that format to tell either a bigger story or do something they couldn't do before. Ironically, they dug themselves into a hole with the series by making it as cinematic as they could on TV, because now the movie just "looks like TV."

They desperately, desperately need to give us a reason to turn up beyond "You've watched them on TV, now watch them at the cinema." At the moment, there's no solid pitch for the film; you don't get a sense of why they've even made the movie this time beyond "make money at the box office."
February 3Feb 3 CB Team The quality of The Mandalorian progressively declined over every season for me to the point where I do not care about this movie at all

One of the greatest disappointments in SW imo.
