Star Wars: The Acolyte

I knew that new avatar of his was bad luck.

Jye's rating is down to 14%.

Maybe jye isn't posting because he's too busy racing with an empty cart to the toy aisle to complete his Acolyte Black Series collection.

Doesn't 3 asterisks mean banned?

Edit: I guess not since the profile is still accessible.

Hey, did a moderator give jye4ever a timeout or something??? It just occurred to me that he hasn't chimed in for a while...and he always chimes in.

The asterisks appearing under his name on 11th July was a giveaway: he's currently banned.

Are you freaking serious.

I enjoyed it. But to each their own.

The part that might grate many long time fans the most is that the Jedi are not competent. But a fair argument can be made that they were never actually all that competent. The Holy Trilogy only gave small hints, some bits and pieces, but nothing totally concrete behind the entire long term tragedy. But the Prequel Trilogy really cornered the Jedi lore into a place where it was simply never going to fully recover story wise.

IMHO, it was one of the most enduring questions arising from the Prequel Trilogy - How did the Jedi get snookered so badly by Palpatine? ( I mean you don't need to be Sherlock Holmes to see the implied threat coming from a thousand miles away)

Here's where Lucas and his ham fisted writing started to draw way too much blood. Instead of creating a complex clever villain in Palpatine/Sidious, where the Jedi Council simply lost a high stakes game of cat and mouse, the only option that George left himself is that the Jedi were just incompetent. Since Yoda, Mace Windu and Obi Wan had to stay in archetype mode because Lucas didn't want to threaten basic fan service, there was nothing left to show how the Jedi Council earned their status in the first place.

The Acolyte is not perfect. Not by a long stretch. But the failures of the Jedi here is actually more in line with what Lucas left behind than what many people might want to actually admit.

There was a time when the word "Banned" stopped appearing under a user's name after it was implemented, so Yoda made it so the asterisks would appear instead to make their status clear.

Oh wow... I guess Jye is reading all this with a good laugh now. Hey Jye

I wonder what he posted...? Did his "art" go too far...?

Nothing in any in of his remaining posts from last Thursday were inflammatory. Obviously whatever ticked off a mod could have been deleted but to go from zero to ban when he's had no issues for almost two decades smacks of BS.

Maybe he got banned because he let his "CF Supporter" subscription run out?

How long is a ban?

Whatever contributed towards it would've been deleted.

He will be back. And with greater numbers of weird photoshops.

It was a pic he posted that earned him a temp-ban. Can we get back on topic please?

Do you want to show it to us so we know what not to post.

Those witches Force-Threaded Jye, they're tricky like that.

I guess the pic made a joke of the wrong crowd. Maybe JYE can pm the pic when he returns so we can see what all the fuss was about. This forum is getting censorious compared to other places on the net, it will prob have a detrimental effect on traffic as users move on to better places

The Acolyte was mostly about showing how inept the Jedi were as a galactic police force.

They would be outclassed over a hundred years later by the professionals...

I think its just more and more of the 'fragile generation' collecting now and finding offense in the oddest places.

'Tattling' was an offense when I was growing up.
