I've seen lots of people online say M&G was a fun movie, not amazing but still worth the watch. Feels like a bad include on the article's list.

I think it fit right in with the show but could have just been another season basically. They saw the extra money and went for it. It didn’t ruin any of the franchise but didn’t really advance much either.

Basically the film came out 3 years too late.

If you enjoyed The Mandalorian show, you'll enjoy the movie. If I could make any complaint it would be that it feels a little too much like 3-4 episodes of a Disney+ show stitched together. You can even see where they would have ended episodes on cliffhangers a couple times.
