The Mandalorian and Grogu will be the first Star Wars movie to hit theaters in six years. Disney is banking on the idea that bringing one of its more popular Disney+ series to the big screen will sell tickets. However, new information about the writing credits is raising concern with some fans. According to official filings with the Writers Guild of America, Noah Kloor is credited as one of the film’s screenwriters.

Kloor has been on the Lucasfilm writing team for several years and has worked on some of the most divisive content Disney has produced. His inclusion on the writing team alongside Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni is raising fresh skepticism about the new film.
Noah Kloor’s History With Disney+ Star Wars
Kloor’s name may not be as instantly recognizable as the other credited writers, Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni. However, keen-eyed audiences may remember that Kloor was a primary writer on all episodes of The Book of Boba Fett. The 2022 Disney+ series was widely criticized by fans. It currently holds a 30% score on the audience-driven review site Criticless. One user calls it a “terrible show hampered by lazy underdeveloped writing.”
Overall, the series drew criticism from many viewers who felt it mishandled a beloved legacy character and struggled with uneven storytelling.

After his time on The Book of Boba Fett, Kloor contributed to The Mandalorian Season 3. Some fans felt that the show’s so-far-final season lacked the focus of the previous two. One of the most controversial installments was Episode 3, “The Convert,” which Kloor co-wrote. The episode shifted away from Din Djarin and Grogu entirely, focusing instead on New Republic politics—an abrupt tonal shift that many fans felt disrupted the pacing of the season.
The two primary complaints levied against The Book of Boba Fett and The Mandalorian Season 3 go directly back to the writing. Confirmation that Kloor has creative input on The Mandalorian and Grogu may give some potential ticket buyers pause.
The Stakes for The Mandalorian and Grogu
The Mandalorian and Grogu comes at a time when Star Wars needs to spark renewed interest. As the franchise has struggled to connect with fans in recent years, the decision to bring in Kloor—who worked on some of Star Wars’ most divisive series—is curious. Some could suggest that Kloor’s involvement signals Lucasfilm’s intention of maintaining narrative continuity. But Disney-era Star Wars has, so far, shown inconsistent results.

Director Jon Favreau has assured fans that the film is not a collection of reused ideas for a potential fourth season of The Mandalorian. The bigger issue for some fans now, however, is that Lucasfilm has continued returning to Kloor. The stakes for the film are unusually high. After several announced Star Wars movie projects were delayed or quietly shelved, The Mandalorian and Grogu has effectively become Lucasfilm’s first real test of whether the franchise can still draw large theatrical audiences. That reality places even greater scrutiny on the creative team behind the project—and the writers helping shape its story.

Even after The Mandalorian and Grogu finally arrives in theaters, the full extent of Kloor’s involvement may remain unclear. But for some fans already wary of Lucasfilm’s recent track record, his presence on the writing team raises fresh questions about the franchise’s direction.

Even if this toad was any good, writers are never gonna put their best ideas into a project they know is doomed to be unwatched, and doomed to be mocked. Kathleen Kennedy is associated with this project, and she’s shooting her mouth about making the fugly baby goblin “cute”.
This movie is pathetic, and it’s gonna tank.
