Star Wars: The Acolyte [Disney+]

[OtRaS]

It was awful, I have chucked it, everything about it is terrible.

Show has been fine so far... not a standout but it's not terrible either.  Need to see how the show plays out before making a judgement.

This is a kids show. It's not for adults.

Spoiler

I wonder if Sol is actually a Sith, or at least a bad Jedi... got a strange vibe from him that whole last episode.

Wasn't quite right on this thought above... but it's more accurate in a round about way than one might have thought.


 

Spoiler

I don't think they showed Mother Koril perish in the fire... I wonder if she survived and is the one that trained The Stranger?

Who didn't see this coming.. lol Trash actors,director and show completely.

Disney needs to stop ruining Star Wars.

Shame I enjoyed it for what it was. Was interested to see where it went, hate Disney took a page from Netflix and ended it on a cliffhanger. I'm guessing the story will continue via comics.

[Innervisions33]

Such a good opportunity for a fresh story and they didn't hit a home run.  Too bad, really.

I thought it was alright. Had such promise. The haters gave into the dark side, and got it killed.

 

Oh for what could have been.

It could never have been anything but the trash it was as long as Kennedy was running the show.

I know we disagree about fandom and what it can mean, how change is accepted by some and differently by others.  But on this, I fully agree - Kennedy is the problem with Star Wars.  She is elevated beyond all reason just by being Lucas's handpicked heir to the empire - but show me one show she has been behind that hasn't leant into the overplayed "female lead role can do no wrong" except they are horrendously written.  There are a lot of very talented people associated with recent Star Wars, but she negates so much of their contribution with her single-minded view on "Let's make Star Wars for little girls who need strong female role models" - at the cost of good characterisation and storytelling.

Exactly, but more than that, she actively inteferes with Favreau and Filoni.  Boba Fett was doing OK until she interfered with it and next thing we knew we had Space Mods on Space Vesta's and Favreau was forced to dump the ending and bring in some Mandalorian episodes to try to save it...

And it's tolerated - lord knows why because I've enjoyed almost everything F&F have put out!

Side note: If you've never seen the How It Should Have Ended series of videos... check it out, some pretty hilarious stuff.  Plenty of running gags from episode to episode as well.
