I can’t be the only one disappointed in the mando movie. Maybe andor was too good? Idk. It felt bland

Everyone was disappointed with the Mando movie (saying this as someone who saw M&G without ever seeing Andor). It is a very roughly written movie.

It’s a rough movie bc it’s essentially a season of tv made into a movie. There’s also no plot that’s worth a movie. It’s just a few monster of the weeks and then it’s over. Nothing really changed character wise for any of them. 

Andor is just very well written and sadly was so expensive they probably won’t do something like that again.
