2021, J. D. Connor, "Put Some 'Mank' on It", Los Angeles Review of Books, 9 May 2021:
When it works well, Mank feels like the inheritance and renovation of a range of craft competencies and attentions. And when it does not work well, it is the classical Hollywood nerd’s version of Glup Shitto. “OMG Ben Hecht is back!” Sometimes it does both at once.
I’m not a Star Wars fan. Not anymore. I’m just here for Glup Shitto.

Go on Reddit, make a post about what the next Star Wars should look like, and you’ll get a mess of Glup Shitto and Luke Skywalker fighting an entire war by himself like the bad-ass action figure he is.

I wonder how long they will keep veering away from the story in favor of Glup Shitto.

It's the reason why the current landscape of "Star Wars" is so divisive, with the idea of everything being connected leading to 15 years' worth of "Star Wars" media being required to recognize Glup Shitto in the latest episode of "The Mandalorian."
Noun: "(Star Wars fandom slang) a minor Star Wars character or one who features primarily in Extended Universe media unknown to casual fans"
'The Book of Boba Fett' is a good example of this joke containing a few grains of truth. Boba Fett was, after all, the original Glup Shitto. He turned up in all of maybe three major scenes in 'The Empire Strikes Back' and 'Return of the Jedi', died by accident, and was written off in the movies. However, Boba Fett had a rich and varied backstory in the expanded universe which the casual viewer could have easily gone without knowing were it not for 'The Book of Boba Fett', which had some very cool moments but was largely a seat-warmer for the third season of 'The Mandalorian'.
I also questioned what characters might show up in this series, and while we haven’t seen a true Glup Shitto yet, we do get a reference to Quinlan Vos, a Jedi from the “Star Wars” novels who then appeared in “Star Wars: The Clone Wars.”
Fella who had three lines of dialogue in a PS2 Star Wars game appears in Boba Fett? Glup Shitto. Someone spotted in the back of the frame in A New Hope gets proper screentime in The Mandalorian? Glup. Shitto!
While other spin-offs have variously capitulated to the demand for finger-pointing fan service — see: the litany of characters introduced in The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett known exclusively to the biggest of Star Wars geeks, the impulsive cameos of Obi-Wan Kenobi, the Glup Shitto meme — Andor shakes off the shackles of prior knowledge.
That’s top-shelf Star Wars stuff, folks. Glup Shitto-level Star Wars naming. Which is saying something considering he’s in an episode with a guy named “Wullf.” I would love to see the list of names Cassian considered and rejected before going with Keef Girgo.
And yet, "The Mandalorian" can still deliver great Easter eggs and references that feel like more than just mandatory Glup Shitto moments. Case in point, "The Mandalorian" season 3 premiere — which somehow didn't include the very important events of "Book of Boba Fett" in its recap — dropped a potentially huge hint towards the plot of "Ahsoka" and the return of a fan-favorite character, and it's all thanks to space whales.
