People bitching about this movie being episodic aren't wrong, but also haven't been paying close enough attention to every other flick in the "Star Wars" universe. This shit's supposed to be serialized.
Grogu is pretty much the cutest little critter ever. I also love me some Anzellans. Hutts look stupid when rendered with CG, but I gotta admit I dug the Jeremy Allen White-voiced Rotta in spite of this.

Dan Stevens is awesome in the titular role - he looks a bit like a young Michael Biehn and kills like Arnold Schwarzenegger. Director Adam Wingard and writer Simon Barrett improve upon the already impressive game they displayed in "You're Next." "The Guest" is a badass genre exercise with style to burn.
