‘The Mandalorian And Grogu’ Rotten Tomatoes Review Score Is One Of Star Wars’ Worst

Critics gave the film a 65% score on Rotten Tomatoes, raising concerns for Disney’s first Star Wars movie since 2019.

  • On Tuesday, the review embargo lifted for The Mandalorian and Grogu, revealing a 63% Rotten Tomatoes score based on 68 reviews ahead of the film's Friday, May 22 release.
  • Directed by Jon Favreau and written alongside Dave Filoni, the film follows Din Djarin , aka Mando, and Grogu as they work with the New Republic to track Imperial warlords.
  • Radio Times critic Patrick Cremona called it "a diverting romp that doesn't quite have the scale or grandeur of the best entries in the franchise." The film holds a 65% critic score, the second-worst in the Disney Star Wars era.
  • Industry analysts predict the film will likely beat Solo's $392 million total, though Disney faces skepticism regarding whether it can approach the $1.05 billion heights of previous releases.
  • Star Wars is undergoing a transition as Dave Filoni fully takes over creative control, with future projects beyond 2027's Starfighter remaining unconfirmed.
