Chewbacca and C-3PO: The Movie
Two franchises remerge in a fine sequel (spoilers) Dek (Dimitrius Schuster-Kolomatangi) is a young Yautja who’s the runt of his clan, so he’s much smaller than past predators.

More phones, more problems
A familiar nightmare, but solid sequel Years after the events of the previous film, the Grabber (Ethan Hawke) returns from beyond the grave.
