'He's got the look, he's got the charm, but he just doesn't have the focus,' Henderson said. 'I've seen other kids his age booking major roles left and right, and I know Grogu can do it too. He just needs a little help staying on task.'
'I'm not saying it's right, but this is a cutthroat business,' Henderson said. 'If you're not willing to do whatever it takes, there are a thousand other cute little green creatures waiting to take your spot.'
