I am going to watch the first 2 episodes on the 4th with a open mind.After the second episode if none of the lightsabers have pronouns, I won’t watch another episode.
I’m so use to Star Wars Wednesdays
After Shogun, I am now used to watching new episodes on Tuesdays. Though here in Mexico it might be a different schedule. But Acolyte will be tuesdays as well.
Teecrooz and I wake up at 3:30 on Wednesday to watch together
My body wakes up at the time normally, I think I’ve got him in the groove of it now lol
Some of my 501st friends and I watch them at 5am. Zoom call and all. Then of to work at 6:30. But i heard that this show will be at 6pm pacific.
Wicked interesting on the time change!

'Twas the night before The Acolyte when all through the Thread
Thoughts began stirring, Halliwax was in his shed.
The lightsabers were ready to be painted with care,
While the future of Star Wars loomed heavy in the air.
Copperrevan, Ron and Keel were nestled all snug in their beds;
Along with Captain Dunsel, cracking jokes in their heads;
With Ahsoka long gone, Grogu and Mando in a nap;
It didn't take long for the next load of crap.
When out on social media there arose such a chatter,
In hopes the gaslighting would make their pocketbooks fatter.
'Tis the only way i thought, they'd bring in any cash
To chafe the fanbase hoping it spreads like a rash.
It was getting really late, and i let myself sleep
Giving way to the others, started counting some sheep.
When what to my wondering eyes did appear,
Started dreaming that Episode 10 was drawing near.
Finn became a Jedi, i was growing concerned;
Rey and Poe were now married, somehow Palpatine again returned.
My eyes began rolling, the dream was so lame
And Poe, of course, took Rey Skywalkers last name.
Han and Ben played force catch, thermal detonator in hand
While Yoda did karoake with the ROTJ band.
Ani and Padme had a new set of force twins,
It didn't take me long to think, "both had to be Finn's"
I saw Chewy dancing, somehow C3P0 was brave,
While Luke, Leia and Obi were rolling in their grave.
So i panicked to wake myself up from this dream,
Then it flashed to a ceremony with the whole Disney team.
They were being awarded , like at the end of A New Hope
While someone in a cowboy hat smiled like a dope.
They wore their gold medals with pride on their face;
While i thought to myself, "this is a freaking disgrace!
And immediately i awakened, soaked in cold sweat;
my breathing was heavy, my heart in regret.
Did this really happen? Was it just in my head?
Was Star Wars still alive? I was sure it was dead.
So i looked at the time,already half past three;
Halliwax was on his bike; watching with Usagi and Tee.
I rushed back to the forum to see nothing there,
And went back to sleep with nothing more left to share.
Well, now its five in the morning, no one still in sight;
May the 4th of June be with you, what a horrible night!

Why do they all have 10lb looking lightsabers? Those bastards are Galaxy's Edge thick.

I'll bet, in keeping with the recent "originality" of Lucasfilm's milking of the Star Wars cow again, that a Sith lord cut her hand off in a lightsaber fight. Plus, I wonder if her full name is Indara Jonz?

You're not kidding. I visited Galaxy's Edge last month and the one thing that stopped me from buying a lightsaber there was how big they all were. I could have used Luke's ROTJ saber as a replacement car axle, that thing was so big.

I can hear Moto Moto singing right now...lol Honestly, clunky isn't as big a problem for me as just plain boring. I like the OT sabers, they were definitely clunky but had a lot more character.

This mostly affect/bugs us Prop collectors, the typical buyer loves the GE sabers.
That said, these seem to be thicker on purpose. I mean i get it that in the disney era, all sabers are larger and thicker so they can have electronics etc, but these are the thickest/largest of them all.
I'm also curious on the special request Lesley made to the prop department. She mentioned its not the wip.

I could see Yoda with luscious long brown hair and a meme joke of how 100 years turns him from this to what we see in episode 1.
I agree with Psab that the infusion of "moral ambiguity" and how everything is "shades of grey" is a poison that ruins stories and narratives. Ironically, its exactly what Anakin sees, that "from his point of view, the jedi are evil."
Ironically, an Anakin-centric tv show focused on his moral ambiguity and further explaining why he falls to the dark side would make for a potentially interesting show and one that would be "lore accurate" lol.
Behold the lies of the Jedi!
We see here that the Jedi tradition of using “from a certain point of view” to cover blatant lies actually began in the era of the Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh Republic!

I was referring only to the knights of ren. We saw palps die on screen. Knights of ren we barely saw in tpm and rots. THAT group could have survived and not shown up in the ot, or simply been reformed by kylo. There is no excuse for bringing the emperor back and trashing the original heroes. None. I mean, sure, they could have adapted dark empire but didn't. The back end of that story was in zahns novels (mount tantiss, etc) and they are using it well in bad batch. The st seems to be a bunch of "lets do this" with no regard to what came before.if you want to tell that story, fine. However you need to lay the whole thing out and not write just the last page and think people will buy this.
Personally i wouldnt waste a second trying the build a support structure for the ST. It is just way too much work for very very little payoff. I dont need nor domi want a tv show of luke turning his back on eveything and han and leai divorcing and ben destroying the temple, etc. That is what is required to buttress the st.

What aged Yoda so quickly? He had a Force Vision of the ST...and the creation of the "High" Republic
