For those who have seen the movie, I’m talking about the Grogu in the swamp sequence. With Din poisoned and dying, we see as Grogu cares for him day after day, building him a shelter, bringing him water, and staying by his side to make sure he’s safe. The sequence ends when Grogu meets the creature in the woods, who gives him the antidote for the poison but warns him that it might be too late. Grogu gives him the antidote, and snuggles next to him, waking up to see Din recovered.

I loved this sequence, it’s really the emotional core of the movie and shows how much Grogu has grown from being helpless and needing to be saved constantly to taking care of his father. But almost every single review has said this part is bad? And the movie has no development? Like I just don’t get that.

Very good news, overall the general consensus is that it’s fun. The visuals are mostly complimented, though some say it’s does look like a high budget show (though not overtly negative, which is good). I’ve also mostly seen positive reactions to the story, mostly sounds like it’s more character driven/intimate which I think is good for the Mandalorian considering one of its best parts is the relationship between Din and Grogu. There has been some criticism, but overall I’d say it sounds like at least a solid 7/10 from the early reactions.
