Star Wars The Acolyte (tv series)

[Halliwax]

Yup you can all throw stones at me… I enjoyed it so far

Though I missed about 20 minutes between episodes 1 and 2.. I am just mentally and physically exhausted, and my watch party buddy, he gave me a few nudges once she heard me snoring

But I didn’t fall asleep because I was bored.. just completed exhausted

I’ll re watch it again tomorrow, but it looks like they spent some serious money on this show

Maybe this explains why everything else we got lacked sets.. props and costumes..

I will say it didn’t entirely FEEL like the prequel era… like I don’t think we saw one sleek shiny new environment like in Episode 1. I expected at least a little connection to that aesthetic. Like why was the Jedi ship even grungy?

Intrigued though. Seems pretty clear a group of Jedi did a bad bad thing, covered it up, and now it’s coming back to haunt them.

yup, good start. Too short though but well paced. Things i like a lot are the sound design and the over all look and ambiance. I like formal the jedi talk to each other.

I’m intrigued enough to continue watching.

It was a good start.

Even better that I live in AZ so it starts at 6pm for me.

I think this sums it up for me. Interesting story. Love the use of practical effects, but some of them look pretty corny, and not in a good, Star Wars-ey kinda way. Like the female Jedi master that’s just a woman painted green.

But the story is intriguing, the set design is pretty good, and I’m happy the pacing isn’t too slow. Definitely will keep watching.

2 episodes in and no Olaf..:

…and no Bill.

Given that there is an Orion as one of the main characters…

…I know of at least one guy who is now a fan of the show…

Fun Star Wars. I liked it. Solid martial arts made me happy.

time for a second watch...

 

[AnubisGuard]

I don't know what it is, but for how detailed the sets are they feel detailed in a theme park kind of way, rather than a TV set or reality kind of way. Something about the walls and floors and dressing reminds me of stuff like the queue for the Indiana Jones ride and so forth.

 

[NeoRutty]

Agree with the post above... setting did often seem theme park... and yeah, dunno how they get Gamora looking like actual skin and can't do it here. This lady looks like she's painted for football.

Anyway, wasn't really planning on watching, but I checked it out...

Prettyyyyy pretty pretty good.

Surprisingly interesting. I kinda hope it's not too many episodes. So far it's intriguing, but I can see that falling off if dragged on too long. As long as they have a good payoff, this may be one of the good shows?

I haven't liked ANY Filoni-verse stuff. Meaning I don't care about clone wars and Rebels. I'm so glad this isn't connected in any way.

I don't feel like I'm jumping into the middle of some crazy long, cross-series story...

8/10 so far...

 

[AnubisGuard]

While I'm bitching about aesthetics -- man, I really hate what Disney has done with lightsaber blades. They're so fat and they barely flicker or wobble at all any more. And they don't leave nice motion trails either. They look like glowing baseball bats.

I'm glad the evil twin sister plot point wasn't drawn out beyond the first episode. As soon as Osha struggled to force pull her multi-tool-droid thing during the crash I was a little confused given that we had seen Mae easily using the force to pull her daggers. I immediately thought "they can't be the same person... bet it's an evil twin *sigh*" but then was pleasantly surprised that it was addressed a couple of scenes later rather than being some sort of super obvious RoP Sauron style reveal at the end of the season.

I agree with the points about the scenery, but still I'd say its better than the Volume for this kind of use. The difference with Andor was that Ferrix seemed more expansive - you could see all the way down the street into the distance.

Otherwise, I'd say that I'm enjoying this more than Ahsoka.

 

[JPH]

Yeah, I saw that and IMMEDIATELY thought "dude said wrong name. I get what he means tho", and didn't think about it a moment longer... then find out he's being dragged?!?!

People need to chill.

Also, there is ZERO chance that Harrison Ford could answer a single question from a Kid's Star Wars O.T. trivia book.

Except the people who didn't like the response keep ignoring that someone asked "why"?

Talk about "out of context."

A question was asked, but hearing about a consequence for lying seems triggering for some.

Yes, "people need to chill," but its the people who ASKED a question or pretended to care, but then decompensate when they get a reasonable answer they don't like

Sheesh! This is EXACTLY the "moral juijitsu" I mentioned in my initial response.

Seriously, y'all need to look up the definition of "bully"

If you don't want to hear an answer, then don't ask it to give the illusion you are trying to be objective by asking it.

Anyone remember William SHatner's "get a life!" skit.
At conventions, Richard Dean Ansderson openly admited, "yeah, I don't remember that. I am just an actor saying my lines."

I'm fine with that. Atleast they were honest.

Someone messes up but says, "okay, oh yeah" or "I forgot." Not a problem. But just like I said in my post, people are now willing to defend anything, no matter how silly, shameless or dumb.

If they are going to do the “evil twin trope”, they a need to put a goatee on the evil sister so that we can more easily tell who is who…

have you thought it could be more of a rhetorical question? he probably wasn't looking for an answer. It's just disbelief.

 

[guabe]

I saw it twice already. On second viewing it seem less corny, it felt that way when Mae said "attack me with all your strength" or whatever that line was.
Sol is just a great character. Yord well he is just annoying. But i think its on purpose and we will probably endup liking him.

As others have said, its very intriguing. Ready for next weeks episode.

No.

The person who asked the question didnt think so, and even *YOU* didnt.

And I wrote an extensive, thoughtful response, only to discover that some people have an issue with consequences
