Zen: Grogu et les Susuwatari

Disney announced this short a week before or so, so my expectations were not high from the beginning. They want to celebrate 3 years The Mandalorian but what they did is not satisfying. They should have released Season 3 on this day, that would have been a perfect "celebration".

Well, the short is nice, it is a corporation with an anime studio. Animation is fine. Dust bunnies are from My Neighbour Totoro. Watch that anime instead of this short. It is worth it.

So I think it is better than nothing but it never fulfilled the potential of such a milestone for Disney Plus. Hopefully the announce the exact release date of Mandalorian Season 3 soon.

It has absolutly nothing to do with Star Wars. The drawings are terrible, the story is worthless and even the music hurts. Do not watch it: it is terrible. I never saw anything worse. And that includes the Holiday Special. It has absolutly nothing to do with Star Wars. The drawings are terrible, the story is worthless and even the music hurts. Do not watch it: it is terrible.

I don't know what people here expected and are so salty about? I enjoyed it, nice animation and just general cuteness.

Not much more to say about it, it's about 3 minutes long so I can hardly make a long review about it.

Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise?" "No." "I thought not. It's not a story the Jedi would tell you. It's a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis... was a Dark Lord of the Sith so powerful and so wise, he could use the Force to influence the midi-chlorians... to create... life. He had such a knowledge of the dark side, he could even keep the ones he cared about... from dying." "He could actually... save people from death?" "The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities... some consider to be unnatural." "Wh- What happened to him?" "He became so powerful, the only thing he was afraid of was... losing his power. Which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew. Then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. It's ironic. He could save others from death, but not himself." "Is it possible to learn this power?" "Not from a Jedi.

What even is this? This is the Star Wars x Studio Ghibli crossover we were supposed to be excited about? It's just... nothing? It's like a desktop wallpaper, a GIF that should seamlessly loop but doesn't quite repeat at the right point. It's fine, don't get me wrong, and it's relatively cute for what it is. It just feels cobbled together, though, and clearly only exists because of the brands attached to it. Maybe it's a teaser for something bigger to come out of this collaboration, but it's pretty disappointing if it's the entire result of it. I mean, come on, Studio Ghibli could've pumped this out in their sleep; in fact, they probably did. Like I said, it's fine. It's barely anything, but it's fine.

I wasted 2 1/2 minutes of my life. I've watched inane tik toks that were less pointless than this so-called animation. I have nothing else to say so here's the opening of The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald...

In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I've been turning over in my mind ever since.

"Whenever you feel like criticizing any one," he told me, "just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had."

He didn't say any more but we've always been unusually communicative in a reserved way, and I understood that he meant a great deal more than that. In consequence I'm inclined to reserve all judgments, a habit that has opened up many curious natures to me and also made me the victim of not a few veteran bores. The abnormal mind is quick to detect and attach itself to this quality when it appears in a normal person, and so it came about that in college I was unjustly accused of being a politician, because I was privy to the secret griefs of wild, unknown men. Most of the confidences were unsought-frequently I have feigned sleep, preoccupation, or a hostile levity when I realized by some unmistakable sign that an intimate revelation was quivering on the horizon-for the intimate revelations of young men or at least the terms in which they express them are usually plagiaristic and marred by obvious suppressions. Reserving judgments is a matter of infinite hope. I am still a little afraid of missing something if I forget that, as my father snobbishly suggested, and I snobbishly repeat a sense of the fundamental decencies is parcelled out unequally at birth.
