The cgi in new movies has been getting worse and worse lately; the mandalorian movie was laughably bad in some spots.
The entire movie looked like a video game cut scene.
They render the sets using Unreal Engine, so that's probably not far off the money.

Was it also planned to be a season of the show that instead got turned into a movie like Moana 2 was?
They're not planning their huge productions properly anymore. Everything has to come out yesterday and that's the problem.
I don't think that was cgi. It think it was stop motion and puppetry.
(Or, cgi that was supposed to look like stop motion and puppetry.)
I'm not sure what CGI scenes your talking about in the Mandalorian movie, but I'd like to point out that the special effects in both the movie and the show are intentionally made to look similar to the og. trilogy.
The whole movie from start to finish looked terrible; the original trilogy looked so much better than this movie. To call out one scene in particular, the AT-ATs on the cliff side - I saw the trailer and said, “damn, I hope they clean that up before the movie comes out” and they didn’t.
