"Making a joke about Grogu dying" being the hot social media trend of the moment seems like a bad indicator of sentiment around Star Wars ngl. Although it is extremely funny. https://defector.com/kill-grogu?giftLink=ab49aac2a42b82844a3d79dc36c0f92a

The Rotten Tomatoes website is totally busted these days, but sitting at 62% to start is not great and usually only gets worse. (Insert caveat about RT being an aggregator here, etc.) Even a lot of the positive reviews seem to say "fine, but nothing special."

Actually I was thinking the other day that arguably the "hottest" / most relevant actor to ever appear in a Star Wars movie is Emilia Clarke in Solo as Game of Thrones was ending. I do think Ryan Gosling is the maybe most relevant actor ever to star in a Star Wars movie? Liam Neeson and Samuel L were doing kind of whatever movies a few years before Episode 1 it looks to me? Liam Neeson has Schindler's List and Jackson has Pulp Fiction, but those are both further back from Episode 1 than Barbie is to Starfighter. I don't think either has a Project Hail Mary -tier hit right before Star Wars. When we look back on careers, it might be that Liam Neeson or Sam Jackson are "bigger" actors than Gosling. However, I agree that Gosling is a bigger / more relevant star than anyone I can think of at the time of the movie.

Quoth the raven nevermore.
