Star Wars: The Acolyte

I feel like this show could have the same issue Mando S3 had. The Mandalorians can be cool as hell on their own, but in a big group ended up being boring as hell to watch. And I can see that happening with the Jedi as well, especially if they're all going to be super earnest and sincere and wearing the same boring brown robes. Lol

Has a real cringey Rings of Power vibe to it. It also looks like an American imitation of Asian Wuxia with none of the soul. The dialogue was weak and character design uninspired. This screams of modern Disney product. blegh.

 

[Sachiel]

She looks nice. I'm sure we'd get along swimmingly if our paths were to ever cross.

Can't fool me.

That's Gina Carano in disguise trying to sabotage Star Wars as revenge for her firing!

In a world where there are few if any males of a certain color...

I don't know what you guys are complaining about. This looks SO good. It's the Star Wars I've been envisioning in my mind since 1983, come to life at last. Thank god Star Wars is finally in the hands of creators that get it.

What also has me concerned is the apparent disregard for established canon/timeline.

The Phantom Menace explicitly states that the Jedi believe the Sith have been extinct for 1,000 years, and yet this show is set just 100 years before The Phantom Menace and features Jedi encountering a... Sith.

Unless this show is actually set 1,000 years before The Phantom Menace.

I honestly appreciate that they're doing something different with this. I have literally zero expectations, so I might be pleasantly surprised the way I was with Andor.

Oh Pablo what did you go and do now…

He looks like a camp Russell Crowe!

Highly likely to be peg warming in your local Target before the year is out.

Also….”Darkness rises”
Huh? I thought darkness falls. Am I being too pedantic? I just don’t know anymore.
Well, I know I won’t be watching. Weeeeee!

She just radiates warmth and empathy. I bet she'd make an excellent wife and mother. She is just my type.

Imagine this being the person that leads you up to Harvey's special casting room.
Urgh. Like being led to Jabba by Bib Fortuna.

 

[Otomofan]

I guess it just wasn't in the stars for us...she's already taken. Apparently, this green lady who's so lazy she's using the Force to open a door that already automatically opens is her wife in real life. Damn.

I'm staying out of this one. I'll see you lot in the X-Men '97 thread.

Yesterday facebook showed me an old trailer for the 1997 Special Editions. That was cool.

This? Notsomuch. The magic is all in the past. Our past, not the galaxy far far away's past.

Ya can't go back.

Trailer looks good, so I plan to watch it. I generally try to take a positive approach and give these shows a chance. If I don’t like it, there are plenty of other options out there. That’s one of the great things about streaming.

 

[pixletwin]

The actors all look like they belong in an underwear ad (or Prime's LotR).

Also, I never liked the idea of Jedi wookies. It bothers me.

Also, nothing in this "teaser" actually teased. There was nothing to hook my interest.

I'll watch of course. But so far, big "meh" energy from me.

If you were to look up the word **** in the dictionary, I'm sure this photo would next to it.
