'The Mandalorian and Grogu' is hitting theaters in 2026. When it does, it has a perfect opportunity to set up an ancient prequel.

Nope, I've been tricked enough times by that domain. They'll just repeat the click bait headline for one paragraph/sentence. Then a full screen ad or three. Then they'll explain what Star Wars is. Then an ad. Then they'll explain what The Mandalorian and Grogu are. Then an ad. Then they'll rephrase the click bait title as a question. Then an ad. Then they'll finally get around to doing a bad job of plagiarizing a mediocre reddit comment thread, but word it as a hypothesis. That usually takes a sentence or two, but sometimes they just skip this part. Then an ad. Then some non-committal conclusion. This conclusion can usually be reused for any similar articles about the subject, in this case Star Wars. Then more ads of equal or greater screen scrolling than the length of the entire article with ads that you just read.

Content creators gotta eat too - don't complain about necessary evils.

You missed my point entirely. I can tolerate ads. However, I do believe that the actual facts and substance of the article, what you insultingly call "content", should at the very least outnumber those ads. Two ads for every inane muttering, AI generated sentence, or baseless speculation is too much for me to tolerate. Ads would be tolerable if the article actually added something to some sort of discourse or reported some new or forgotten fact or facet of a story. This domain has shown me that their article will offer neither. When news becomes a wholesale commodity and quantity of content is favored over quality stories, we all suffer.

Is that what they're calling it?

Has a 'Smokey and the Bandit' ring to it.
