The Mandalorian and Grogu’s quietest sequence should be the template Star Wars’ future

Every Star Wars movie is defined by a single sequence. Whether it’s the Death Star battle at the end of A New Hope or Obi-Wan and Anakin’s emotional fight at the end of Revenge of the Sith, these epic moments often tie the movie’s themes and biggest emotional scenes into setpieces that have since become ingrained into the fabric of pop culture. Watching Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu, however, I was surprised to see that its standout sequence, which most closely reflects those iconic moments, wasn’t an action scene but a quiet solo adventure for Grogu.
