it can not fail. Mando appeals to men and teens, Grogu appeals to children and moms, Star Wars appeals to nerds and general movie audiences

I think we're about to see something big like nobody's ever even seen before. Numbers nobody's even heard of before

General audiences are going to think you need to do homework to understand it. No one wants to have to watch shows to understand a movie.

>>220196716
I would've guessed that but pretty much every movie is bombing right now and that was before the war. I think it'll underperform pretty significantly because people aren't in a hurry to watch any movie and things are getting expensive and it's cheaper to watch other things and wait.

Their instincts are right too. According to people who were invited to watch the first 15-or-so minutes, the movie comes right out of the gate assuming that you have watched the TV shows

If you haven't seen Mandalorian, Book of Boba Fett, and even Ahsoka, you're not really going to know what the fuck is going on
>>
>>220196641
It will do moderately well or better. Stop being cynical for the sake of being cynical. You obviously aren't the intended audience but even if you were, something tells me that nothing would suffice. It's ok to not have to pretend to hate something because you think others are doing it.

>You obviously aren't the intended audience

>something tells me that nothing would suffice
This is an easy excuse for putting out low quality products. Face it, the Disney+ TV Shows have not been good. Mandalorian S1 was alright, had some moments, but everything after that was a trainwreck and you know it. Ashoka was bad. Book of Boba Fett was bad.

This movie, as something of a crossover of those 3 shows, warrants skepticism because the previous entries have not been good.
Some of us actually want to like Star Wars again, that's what you don't understand. Your defensive mechanism is to just say "well you just WANT to complain!" - but that's not true. The complaints are only there in the first place because on some level we still wish for Star Wars to be good again.

If we truly didn't care, we'd be apathetic, not disappointed.

It's not even him there, they film it in a warehouse, you can see how lame it was by final episode of S1
>>
>>220202511
Because the show stopped being good after the first season and instead became "wow look it's [guest character from upcoming streaming show]" every second episode, even to the point that they had to put Mando in half of Boba Fett's show after Fett had already done a cameo in Mando's show. Nobody cares about Bo Katan trying to resurrect the Mandolorians or Ahsoka doing gay shit with her besties or Blurp Cruddo and his upcoming animated comedy show, they want to see Mando and Yeed going on adventures and hunting bounties or some shit.
Also middle aged women stopped caring about Baby Yeed long before they gave him an official name, nobody knows who the fuck Grogu is.

>>220202596

People cared about Mandalorians getting reassembled because that was Mando's arc, then the entire arc got basically handed to a female guest character because the entire company is run by hags.
Even the arc they did give him got so badly fumbled that they essentially finished his character arc and didn't realize the show is still going.
Whenever you think Disney managed to max out their mismanagement they surprise you further.
>>
after the first season, the leftoids at disney got mad that everybody liked a based episodic cowboy show, so they decided to kill it and use it to advertise their slop shows.

how andor got away with being based is beyond me, all the creators must have sway somehow.

because Mandalorian had real promise in Season 1 then Disney went full retard and did s2, book of boba fett, ahsoka, and s3 which were all garbage

this movie is a culmination of all of those stories
if 9/10ths of the preceding material is garbage how much hope am I supposed to have for the movie exactly?
>>
>>220196641
My bet is it's going to top out at about 650k domestic. It won't bomb. No reasoning behind this, just feels about right.
>>
>>220202679
It was fine when it was implied to be him and a few others, maybe a handful of scattered groups around the galaxy basically retaining the old ways of the Mandalorians in secret.
That was kind of kino, but once they basically pulled a "mom says it's my turn to have this story arc" bait and switch it was like okay, what's Mando even doing in this story anymore? He's not hunting bounties, he's just hanging around with Yeed.
Then he palms the babby off to Luke and I don't really care about what happens next because I assume it's all more gay crossover shit.
>>
>>220202756
>650k
That would be a gigaflop
>>
>>220202763
let me try to remember what happens

>gives Yeed to Luke
>Yeed spends like a week with Luke but misses Mando
>goes back to Mando
>big fight with crazy chicken guy from BrBa
>everything is "resolved" (?!)
>Mando and Yeed now live on some farm in the middle of nowhere

It's really stupid because they keep giving Mando and Yeed closure like their arc is finished or finalized or whatever and then they just want to make more of it so all these "touching" sappy Mando/Yeed moments mean fuck all.

Back then the audience was still there.
Young people these days don't give a fuck about SW since that's uncslop for them.
Sure, they'll get the latino audience that show up with 10 kids and 15 cousins in one go, but that's pretty much it.
Also most people know that these days movies go straight to streaming 2 weeks after they hit theaters so no real reason to exert, might as well just watch it streaming.

Straight from Wookiepedia (the CANON section too, this is modern canon)
>Despite this, Kryze would eventually reclaim the Darksaber after saving Djarin from a cyborg in the ruins of Mandalore, where she managed to bring back some of the scattered Mandalorians under one banner to reclaim their homeworld. When they arrived, she discovered survivors and an Imperial remnant stationed on the planet. They eventually defeated them and Kryze eventually relit the Great Forge, signifying the start of Mandalore's reconstruction.

she got the darksaber, relit the forge, and is rebuilding mandalor

The Mandalorian (our supposed main character) helped a little bit.

See, I never watched whatever show she's originally from, so any time they brought up "the Darksaber" my mind automatically went to the EU book of the same name where the Hutts join forces with some former Imperial to rebuild the Death Star superlaser and make it into a big cigar-shaped ship that fires a huge planet-exploding laser kind of like a spaceship-sized lightsaber a "darksaber" if you will only for it all to fuck up because they basically tried to rebuild a superlaser with spare parts.

Yeah, in the new canon the Darksaber was created by an ancient Mandalorian Jedi and then became like the Excalibur for mandos
It's the sword that gives you the right to rule blah blah
you're supposed to have to take it from somebody by combat, then you rule all of Mandalore

The Mandalorian had it, but then Bo-Katan saved his life, so he willingly gave it up to her
>she didn't beat me but she saved my life so that's the same thing and frankly if you think about it GIRLS GET IT DONE so now she is the ruler of mandalore

https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/The_Duchess

The Duchess was a female human who ruled over her homeworld, Plazir-15, alongside her husband Bombardier. Their dream of transforming the planet into a paradise was threatened by the security chief Helgait's plot to sabotage the capital city's droid laborers with smuggled nano-droids. When the Mandalorians Bo-Katan Kryze and Din Djarin visited the planet, the Duchess and her husband recruited them to investigate the droid problem, while she meanwhile formed a close and immediate bond with their young companion Grogu. When the Mandalorians uncovered Helgait's scheme, the Duchess pronounced a sentence of exile and granted honors to the pair and to Grogu.

The Duchess and Bombardier decided to enact revolutionary changes to remake their society according to their ideals. They held the first democratic elections on the planet; while they wished to remain the heads of state, they wanted to owe their positions to the people's will, not to family lineage.[2] They were duly elected and were seated as the Royal family of Plazir-15. Plazir-15's government was restructured according to principles of direct democracy and cultural pluralism.[1]

"You see, it was time for our planet to move into a new age. We held direct democratic elections for the first time in our history."
―The Duchess

Lizzo had first caught script writer Jon Favreau's attention through her social media posts about The Mandalorian, including a photo of herself in costume as Grogu. The whimsical character of the Duchess seemed suited for her, and she was contacted by the show and offered the role. Both actress and crew were entertained by the fact that the Duchess, like Lizzo, was a huge Grogu fan.[5]

>>220202734
uh oh, melty!

And what gets me is that for a swoop gang that specializes in swoop stuff they seem to be going at 10mph and the entire gang is struggling to stop some lesser goober also going 10mph and clearly barely controlling his vehicle.

Yeah but Padme wasn't all about democracy and equality and shit until shit hit the fan and the Trade Fed showed up, before that she was basically just "lol fuck the sea-beaners" in terms of the Gungans.
>>
>>220203241
to her credit, Daisy Ridley (Rey) actually did
in all the making-of material she actually put a lot of effort into getting into physical shape and learning the choreography
it's just that the material she was given to work with was bad, and it's difficult to take her seriously the way they drafted up her fighting style
>>
>>220203366
Pedro's career is on a downturn. I think he spoke a bit too openly about a certain middleastern conflict so they pushed him out of the spotlight.

He's lucky to get any publicity he can.
>>
>>220203391
force awakens was in 2015, so not quite when this whole shit was doomed yet. i wouldn't call any choreography in the movies afterward good or demanding. that throne room scene literally just has her flinging the lightsaber around while dudes fall over themselves. seriously, rewatch it and you'll notice how bad it is
>>
>>220203345
>How is this any different?
Because Padme Amidala was not a "royal family"
She held a title of "Queen" but was, in all functions, a democratically elected President or Prime Minister. She did not actually hold a "Royal" position. When her time as "Queen" was up she abdicated the position - there was no royal heir, no amidala royal family. As a member-world of the Republic, the real heavy diplomatic and governance work was done by a certain guy you might have heard of him his name is Sheev Palpatine

very different situations
>>
>>220203443
Even then, Force Awakens could have had the excuse that nobody was around to train Rey or Kylo how to fight, but by the second movie they somehow managed to get worse after having undergone training.
And there's no excuse when it's someone like Ahsoka or whatever her name was in Obi-Wan who are supposed to be trained killers and they're just flopping limply around like they're fatrolling in Dark Souls or some shit.

I thought it looked cool, I mean I don’t think the Mando show is high art or anything but it hasn’t been the worst thing in the world. As long as the budget for this isn’t over 200 million or something it should make a decent profit just off being a summer Star Wars movie in general, I’m hoping they truly treat it like a series finale with a higher budget and not an actual blockbuster

>>220202318
This 100%. Mando Season 3 was one of the worst seasons of a tv show I have every watched, with its only competition being the final season of Game of Thrones.

Filoni was a part of this series from the start, what are you talking about? He directed the pilot. 95% of The Mandalorian and Book of Boba Fett with the exception of very few episodes was written by Favreau. He is an awful screenwriter. And Mandalorian was never particularly good. The circlejerk the first season gets for some reason is insane. The series has always been shitty fetch quests with no substance whatsoever and MCU quips. And you think it's the cameos that ruined it? Lmao. What ruined it beyond repair is Book of Boba Fett. Written by Favreau and directed by his buddy Robert Rodriguez.

>I can't go to the movies by myself, I'm almost 40

They're probably hemorrhaging money on streaming too, for that matter, so I get the feeling this is just them dipping their toes back in the water to see if enough people have forgotten about the sequel trilogy and it's okay for them to make money on movies again.
I don't think it's even occurred to them that everyone's even more sick of disney wars now because the streaming shows have been even worse in recent years.

Get a month's pass, its only about £10 for unlimited films, including the old films they show. If you see more than 2 films in a month you're quids in.

As you now see kino in much better quality than on your shitty monitor and Poundland earphones, you only need pirate stuff thats not in the cinema.

If you're ever worried about going to films alone, why not just dress up like a movie critic and occasionally make notes in a notebook. This will fool people into thinking you are some sort of big deal movie buff who writes for the New Yorker or something and garner respect rather than disgust.

I don't care about quality. I fundamentally disagree with the idea that people are able to say some fictional stories are now super fictional, and can replace them with their somehow less fictional fictional stories, only because they had $4.2billion to spend.

Nah. It was a good scene. Boba lived only thanks to the armor and it explained how he got the dent. Ultimately Boba is Jango's blood and genes, and Jango was better than Cad. This was symbolic rite of passage and explained how as the Clone Wars ended, Boba became *the* Bounty Hunter of the era as we see in the original movies. Cad Bane living makes no sense. He doesn't even appear anywhere after that, because he was originally meant to die. Realistically speaking, there is no reason he wouldn't appear in Empire Strikes Back if he was alive. But he wasn't. Book of Boba scene is fucking awful.

It's funny because he just randomly appears from the desert in the final minute of the penultimate episode without any kind of set up whatsoever. There was not a hint of it in the entire series, and then he just walks out of nowhere, because they suddenly realized the series doesn't have an antagonist. And then in the final episode they reference this unfinished Clone Wars arc that no one had ever seen except of a few short clips at Star Wars Celebration they jangled over the years. And this fucking Book of Boba Fett show soft-retconned that arc anyway, because Cad Bane was shot in the fucking head and was meant to die. So fucking ass.

That's all Boba is. The armor. He has no character. He didn't have a backstory until the prequels. He doesn't even really have any notable moments in the original trilogy. He had what the kids call aura and that's it. Cad Bane had a character. He had depth. Stellar moments. Only for Boba Fett to take everything away from him, twice.

I mean, in the end, it's not that deep. Boba is the Man With No Name, Bane is Angel Eyes. Boba is in the movies, Bane isn't. Bane had to go. That's just how it is. There was room only for one *the* Bounty Hunter. It was Cad Bane in the Clone Wars after the death of Jango, and then it was Boba in the Imperial era. That arc was meant to give Boba more development and character, but we'll probably never see it. Instead we have this terrible live-action substitute where Boba was turned into... that. And Cad Bane was a geriatric cosplay that somehow looked worse than the Duros in 1977 movie.

>>220206502
Honestly I still think Fett being Jango's clone son was a dumb retcon. A good part of that is Morrison's redubbed lines in the OT are fucking dogshit, but it also ruins a lot of the mystique. He didn't need a backstory, he was just the gravely bounty hunter guy who looked fucking cool. That's all he needed to be.

This. The first season of Mandalorian was lightning in a bottle because it felt mostly authentic to the vibe of the original starwars, and required minimal/no knowledge of all the 'disney cinematic universe' filonislop to understand. But as it went on, it became embedded with more and more filonislop, special guest appearances from other filoni shows, and the 3rd season outright requires you have to have watched a completely separate disneywars TV show to have the slightest idea what the fuck is going on.

So now you're supposed to have watched all this bullshit to even understand what's going on in this M&G movie? No thanks bro. Too much effort for normal people to invest, not to mention the mandalorian was popular SEVEN YEARS AGO and has long since faded from public consciousness. It's not a meme sensation like it was, it long since jumped the shark.

The worst part of BoB is that Boba’s this fat old fool who can’t be CGI’d to do cool action stunts so you’ve got this legendary bounty Hunter waddling around saying, “I’m Boba Fett” and everyone shudders.

It’s so frustrating how the first time we see Boba get threatened in the show he doesn’t solve the matter himself. The Outer Rim is a Big Man town. You need to show you’ve got the guile or guts to back up your authority. Boba comes across as a small, weak shadow of his former self and everyone still treats him like he’s still got some fire in his belly. Boba’s orc guards do more intimidation than Boba himself.

They should've never namedropped Grogu. Aside from the fact that Grogu is a very silly name, the characters just knowing its name is Grogu and going from there is anticlimactic. Mando should've give the Child a name to go by, a name in honor of the Mandalorians. Nau’ur is meant to mean illuminate and it's a hopeful name. It would work far better than Grogu.

it had to be won in combat. Mando tried to give it up after he booped Gus Fring the first time, before Luke showed up.

In season 3 mando gets beaten and used like a blood bag by some cyborg mother fucker, and starbuck saves him. That's how she gets the darksaber. Beat the guy that beat the guy that beat the guy that had it originally.

That makes no sense. She steps into a fight already going and they tag team a guy together?

So if you lose ANY fight under ANY context, ANYONE who even helps you gets the sword instead?

It should be 1V1s exclusively. What if I jumped on the guy's back distracting him for 2 seconds and then that let Mando get back up and win?

I get the Darksaber now? Can't he just fucking fight me again for it? He can't beat Bo Katan in a straight fight? He tethered himself to a fucking tie fighter I've never seen that 55 year old short small woman do that.

The problem is this: the show was setting up Mando to be the reluctant leader, a classic trope of the person most responsible with power is the person who doesn't want it or seek it.

Season 3 however was the "what Kathleen thought was fan service" season, we need Grogu back, we need silly stuff or mentioning CIS or cartoon shit. Then they just went back to Filoni cartoon plots.

This movie should have been the siege of Mandalore. Have it open to people who haven't watched the show whilst still having stuff for the show watchers. Have Mando retake Mandalore and have a bunch of big battles in the process. But nah, season 3 did a lame version of this.

They had to undercut and ruin all that. So now it is all retroactive sequel glazing, all to set up sequel shit. And Ahsoka shit. All for some Thrawn crossover no one wants. It just wasn't that complicated.

The Mandalorian was a trick too many people feel for. The sequel trilogy ended in ridicule and they needed Disney+ shows. Enter Mandalorian. Jon Favreau kicked off the MCU with a helmeted hero, Iron Man, so they used him again with a helmeted hero, Mandalorian, for Star Wars. Overarching Grogu plot + some adventure of the week episodes. Simple stuff people enjoyed. But no, this show was always built with a hidden agenda: spin off potential and recontextualising the sequels. Firstly spin offs: Rangers of the New Republic (cancelled), Book of Boba Fett, Ahsoka etc. Secondly: Grogu's whole Empire plot line was about cloning aka Snoke. But then the show pivoted towards the cartoons anyway. And now they are talking about crossovers for all the shows for a Thrawn film, aka, redoing the sequels using ideas from the Zahn novels but without the OT cast.

Disney forgot what made the MCU work. Star Wars failed because they wanted it to be like the MCU. When TLJ and Solo happened, all the Star Wars Story movies were cancelled. As soon as Mandalorian worked, all those Star Wars Story movies (Obi Wan and Boba Fett) became shows. Mandalorian was a vehicle for spin offs. All because rather than planning the shit out with talented people, they want to make Star Wars into Marvel. Marvelisation ruined Star Wars. And that's why the Mandalorian sucks.

This show was awful. Too many people focus on the politics especially the main actress making that cringe video.

But the truth is, the show was so fucking flat. No tension. No set ups given room to breathe without instantly being resolved. Everything in the show was telegraphed. Fuck, I have rewritten the show in my head to make it exciting because they failed at rather basic writing in constructing this show.

But then people watch it, think, well it is okay or something, some fight scenes are okay, Squid Game actor is okay, and act like it was a crime it got cancelled. It cost far too much money and didn't know how to build tension.

>Oh is she guilty or is she innocent?
>Oh she has a twin, he believes she didn't do it.
Shit like that happened a lot where any potential conflict, drama or tension was practically instantly resolves.

I'm in a Star Wars mood since watching Maul, playing Fallen Order now, then Survivor. I'm willing to binge the D+ live action shows (not Acolyte since it's totally irrelevent) but what if I'm not gay enough to watch Phony's Clone Wars cartoon do they explain Anakin's orange buttcheeks well enough in the live action stuff? The Maul cartoon doesn't really explain anything but it's tolerable since Star Wars can have *some* gaps like it's a legend being told, I guess.

There was literally nothing else they could have done with this character. Mando is a faceless, nomadic tough guy who seemingly doesn't care about power, glory, or riches (in spite of being a bounty hunter). He has no ideology, political views, no dead wife or anything to pull him into a larger conflict. He's essentially mad max but without any of the character flaws they had to give Max to keep him interesting in the sequels, and like Max they only way you can tell entertaining stories with him is to attach him to characters that do have interesting goals. Or give him a cute kid to protect. Otherwise the Mandalorian would be good for 5-6 episodes which would be fine except star wars fans always need more. 6 million spin offs, video games, movies, wiki pages until you beat every remotely cool or interesting idea into the ground.

This movie would have done numbers at peak Mando hype (shortly after S1)

Mandalorian was being set up as the classic:
>Guy who doesn't seek power is the best leader.
Mandalorian didn't want the darksaber or to lead. Others did and that made them bad candidates. But those others didn't have the same values as him. The previous wielder left things in failure. It was setting them up to be possible enemies too. So there was plenty you could do with this character. Have him find out the difficulties of power. Grow and change. Instead they just said, nah, cartoon plots again. Only a fraction of the Mandalorian viewers had watched the cartoons. No one wanted MORE cartoon plots.

he was being set up as "dude remember how cool boba fett was in 1981". He never showed any signs of leadership nor did anyone besides grogu show any interest in him as a leader. If they had gone that route you guys and most of the rest of the fanbase would have lost interest, for the same reason everyone lost interest in boba fett after they had him settle down and become a leader (both the old eu and nu-eu). The core appeal of these characters comes from their lack of attachment or strong/interesting belief systems that allow for you to project yourself onto them. Or they transcend the stories they're featured in and become symbolic figures. But when they settle down, take off their masks, and seriously engage with the setting and characters they lose the mystique and all you're left with is a bland action hero.

This is why the Mandalorian + the Mad Max franchise have deuteragonists. They go on the interesting personal journeys that drive the stories forward without compromising the cool factor of the actual protagonists. Hell even the Karl Urban Judge Dredd movie did this. If you don't you end up with slop like the Boba Fett show, or the netflix punisher.

I feel like you're missing a trick here. Contextually Star Wars had been pushed to the brink by the sequels. The Mandalorian in comparison felt great to people. It was a stripped back to basics approach, with basic influences (westerns/samurai films like the OT had) whilst taking stuff from old concept art too (pic related). Maybe people could say that's boring but the Grogu overarching plot plus singular adventures (prison break, defend a village or whatever) was more than enough for people. You keep acting like people would have "lost interest" but what you don't seem to understand is, that people are BEGGING for basic simple storytelling to return and that is why people liked the Mandalorian. People like basic character arcs and plots to be set up and resolved, even if they know where it is going. They are in it for the classic heroes journey.

Mandalorian had resolved Grogu, set up the darksaber, Mandalore and Bo Katan. So basically the new format should have been one and done adventures plus the Mandalore plot. The plotline was easy, build to him finding a home for his people, his people being on the fringes was an established subplot already, whilst reluctantly having to use power to get it, with the Empire and rivals like Bo Katan has potential foils. It was simple, there for the taking, classic stuff. But no, rather than taking this established and built up idea, they literally subverted expectations to pivot towards more cartoon plotline. Now for you, you just want to keep repeating that he is like Mad Max because of how you see him. But all of this shit was there, was what people liked and was what had been developed. But they just cut down the natural plotline here and left an unsatisfying arc. You can keep saying "Mad Max" but this stuff was there and set up. It had been telegraphed. But much like bringing back Grogu, it was changed not for reasons of plot, but for meta reasons of desperate producers. And that left a bad taste.

>The core appeal of these characters comes from their lack of attachment or strong/interesting belief systems that allow for you to project yourself onto them.
People LIKED Mandalorian for his moral beliefs and code of honour and his attachment to Grogu as a reflection of that. Because he did the right thing. He was a classic hero type.
>lost interest in boba fett after they had him settle down and become a leader
The reason why people didn't like Boba Fett show was because: it was bad. It had nothing to do with him "being a leader". Look at the show, it was flat, boring, lacked tension, why was he sad about a bar getting attacked? He had no connection to these people. Heck he practically said at the end he didn't really want to be Damiyo. The show wasn't bad because he was "a leader". It was bad because they made him boring and weak rather than a bad ass. All because the writers can't write strong protagonists and have to make them underdogs. A simple rewrite could have easily saved that show. Being a leader is not the problem, the general poor quality writing was.
>This is why the Mandalorian + the Mad Max franchise have deuteragonists. They go on the interesting personal journeys that drive the stories forward without compromising the cool factor of the actual protagonists
Just because you think he is like Mad Max, doesn't mean he is. Bo Katan did completely undercut him. You've basically gotten what you wanted with this movie and it is going to be terrible as it continues to recontextualise the sequels.

The arc of Mando & Grogu traveling together has already completed with Grogu joining Luke. There was no narrative reason to bring Grogu back. Like, I get it, Grogu is good for merch and people like Lone Wolf and Cub and it's derivatives, but it's done. Either give Mando a different sidekick as part of his new job or just go back to him being a lone ranger/ wanderer doing bounty hunting missions. Later seasons of Mando's series just ended up being really messy and clumsy. Which was real shame because as others said, season 1 was good.

The issue here is that you didn't watch the show properly. Seriously, which show were you watching?
>He never showed any signs of leadership
That's the point, he was being set up to be a reluctant leader. He had a strong moral compass. He literally obtained the darksaber, the symbol of Mandalorian rule. Yet he shunned power. Have you never heard of the trope of the reluctant leader? No desire to lead yet circumstance forces it? The armorer practically spelled it out for him too (and for us the audience), that this symbol could unite them but he'd have to follow the rules of the saber. No desire to lead meaning he isn't as corrupt as those who seek power such as Bo, who was also mentioned by the armorer as being a failure. He bathed in the waters of Mandalore and we saw the beast below. He had slowly gained the respect and support of many because of his deeds like Greef Karga. This was all being set up. But by making Bo the leader it just ruined all that. All because they wanted to go back to Mando and Grogu. We should have had a two season arc of him becoming leader of Mandalorians. It was all there, you just seem blind to it but you like that the producers retroactively pulled a Furiosa via Bo Katan. The two are not the same. Bo Katan is like if you introduced Furiosa two thirds into the movie and Max just gave her control of the situation. That's why people got mad, anon.

This has always been the right way to make a show-based movie. The best Star Trek movies for example, had self-explanatory plots but with little things thrown in that the show fans would like. That's a huge part of why Wrath worked well. The movie didn't rely on you knowing who Khan was because it explained it quickly and moved on to the fun. But, it had cool call-backs for show fans. Never make a movie that requires homework.
