Summary

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, Star Wars crashed and burned its sequel trilogy with a final installment that created doubt for the future of the franchise. However, at that same time, a little show called The Mandalorian had taken the pop cultural world by storm, and the inclusion of Star Wars' newest character, Baby Yoda, breathed new life into a franchise that, at least on the big screen, seemed on life support. Flash forward seven years later, and Disney finally releases its next Star Wars movie, one based on that smash hit television show. However, we have to ask the question is, did they wait too long? Have audiences tired of this lone wolf and his cub? Is there enough substance in this movie to warrant its place in theaters? In this episode, I contextualize the character, his television show and his movie in the greater landscape of Star Wars before breaking down the elements of the film into the categories of The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. Strap on your jet packs and launch into my my review of The Mandalorian and Grogu. This is the way. Subscribe for more episodes at patreon.com/stephenkingcast Write in at stephenkingcast@yahoo.com

0:36.4	I have also been putting out multiple episodes per week over on Patreon.
0:43.4	And let me just describe the different tiers on Patreon.
0:48.3	And there has been a change for those of you who have been listening for a while and
0:53.1	have been curious.
0:55.8	So let me just explain the two tiers and what to expect over there. So on the constant reader tier, that is aligned very
1:02.2	closely to the Stephen King cast as you tend to listen to it. It is Stephen King based. And what
1:08.6	you get is early episodes of the Stephen King cast, and you get book reviews
1:14.9	of non-Steven King-related material, including lately Dean Kuntz, the works of Dean Kuntz,
