Key takeaways

  • The scientific film Mandalorian and Grogu has one of the lowest Rotten Tomatoes critic scores in Star Wars history, and the second-lowest of the Disney era, that is not true for its audience scores.
  • The only movies to beat it, you may guess, are the original three.
  • The caveat here is that the score could change and knock down The Mandalorian and Grogu quite a few places quickly.

Add ARY News on Google AAResize. The scientific film Mandalorian and Grogu has one of the lowest Rotten Tomatoes critic scores in Star Wars history, and the second-lowest of the Disney era, that is not true for its audience scores.

In early viewings, The Mandalorian and Grogu is proving to be a crowd-pleaser, racking up an 88% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, that sets a record as the highest audience score for a Star Wars film in the Disney era, and unsurprisingly, above the prequel trilogy as well. The only movies to beat it, you may guess, are the original three. Here’s the breakdown of the list.

The caveat here is that the score could change and knock down The Mandalorian and Grogu quite a few places quickly. At an 88%, even a 7% drop would put it below Rogue One, The Force Awakens and Rise of Skywalker. It would then only be above the underperforming (underrated) Solo and the (very much review-bombed) Last Jedi.
