Star Wars: The Acolyte

[Wor-Gar]

Hasbro unveiled all their Osha merch today. Just like Reva, she'll be available in six inch, 4 inch, retro, and six inch hologram version.

Just what every little boy is dying to see under the Christmas tree this year, I'm sure.

Also, the packaging gives her last name. Not sure if they said it on the show yet or not. But it's "Aniseya."

Hmmmm.

Aniseya.

Ani Seya

An i S y a

Wonder how they came up with that one?

Ani.... see ya!

Here's an interesting review. By her own words, she is perfectly in Disney's target demographic - yet her particular reactions don't seem to align with their perceived expectations of what that demographic wants. Not being part of Disney's demographic, I found this to be a baffling that someone in that demographic could possibly have different opinions about the material?

 

[Wor-Gar]

Like Kylo Ren's helmet, the cracks are ridiculously exposed on Disney. When is it going to sink in on people?

Speaking of Pirates - did you guys see why Godzilla Minus One did the unannounced worldwide streaming release?

It was the most pirated movie ever!

I don't understand why? Maybe prioritizing good storytelling has got something to do with it?

Nah - what am I thinking?

Maybe they'll got off their asses and release an official version on disc in the US then!

Each dot of fairy dust is a Disney subscriber cancelling....

Words fail me. Episode 3 is every single bit as mind-bogglingly wretched as promised.

It makes the "Willow" series look like "Game of Thrones."

Most of the people who are the demographic don’t like the direction and will call out a story that sucks .

I’m the demographic they want I guess cause I’m black but just cause I see a black character in a show or movie doesn’t mean I have to automatically fall head over heels in love with it. It needs to be done well .

I got an email today asking me to rejoin D+ for only $1.99/mo for 3 months. And they list The Acolyte and Dr Who as exciting new releases.

Thats still overpaying.

I love the smell of desperation in an email.

I hope someone makes a gif of the lesbian witches shrieking in orgasmic pleasure during their drum circle ritual.

Ya know. Star Wars in a nutshell.

That'll make an awesome playset for the toy aisles.

I try to give these shows a few episodes to establish their storylines & characters but damn, I don’t think I can take any more of this unimaginative garbage. I can shrug off the coven of witches, but who in their right minds could have possibly thought that

Spoiler:

it was a good idea to have them refer to The Force as The Thread and imply that the Jedi are less knowledgeable and unworthy of tapping into it? It alienates the ENTIRE fan base and literally makes Star Wars guilty of (pop) cultural appropriation from itself!

This show would have been better served by NOT flashing back to show how the twins were tragically separated. Now that I know I couldn’t care less about either of their fates.

To be fair, I think Filoni already established it kinda with the Dathomir witches using a thread IIRC, and they were also a very stupid inclusion with all the silly magic and green smoke zombies. I think Filoni has done so much damage to star wars and is highly overrated and when Headlund saw the worst of his work thought "ohhhhh great idea!"
