Lets talk all things Star Wars

[Psab keel]

I stopped giving Lucasfilm any chances a long time ago. They've had eleven years to right the ship with fans, but they kept doubling down with their bad decisions. Oh well. I have to give some of you credit for trying. Other than a few clips, I haven't watched any of their stuff in years and I have no desire to.

I’m out too. 1/10 for any show, let alone a Star Wars series.

That’s the thing, it is Star Wars in name only.If this show didn’t have Star Wars in the title you really think it would make it.

I never thought I would say this but I don’t think the holiday special was that bad.Still have to draw the line at Caravan of Courage.

Sadly, fans now are an afterthought.

The Acolyte’s silly rock fire in episode 3 is a perfect symbol for its bigger problems

A mountain fire is the least of Disney’s Star Wars problems

I went off-grid and disconnected for almost 2 weeks while on vacation. When I turned everything back on this morning in the airport I was bombarded with ridiculous clips from the Acolyte from friends. I sat through one with the witches chanting "the power of one...the power of two" and couldn't stop laughing. I don't have anything constructive to say.

Force witches: an entire culture commanding the power of The Force tragically made extinct because nobody knew how to put out a fire.

Sounds like Darwinism, to me.

As Alan Ng said ‘Disney is too focused on the audience it wants rather than the audience it has’

Not “The Force”…The Awesome, Colossal Power of “The Thread”!

As for being unable to put out a fire, well, that’s the power of maaaaaaaaany in action, for you.

Well, not so "maaaaany" now, is there?

Modern Star Wars, never missing a chance the EU under the bus...

First introduced in The Clone Wars? What?

No, Nightsisters we're first introduced in Star Wars with this book. (And before that witches were first introduced in the Ewok films.)

 

[NeoRutty]

Could just mean first introduced into canon… cuz those aren’t, are they?

 

[tgtiw]

Remember how with Empire Strike Back Irvin Kershner made the entire movie about his own personal identity...?


Can we just get a showrunner that wants to tell a story vs. making a personal statement...

 

[Psab keel]

But... but.... Rey is all the Jedi...

I think we can all subscribe to this.

Lucas canon, no. Lucasfilm and Star Wars "canon", yes.

 

[kalkamel]

Blame deflection attempt.

 

[NeoRutty]

OR, you know, that IS a Filoni thing… It’s not like he’s exactly bringing genius Star Wars

Did he not make Ahsoka? The witches raising dead stormtroopers to be as equally lame and useless as they were when they were alive was as bad as anything I’ve seen in the acolyte so far.

 

[Psab keel]

I don't care for Filoni either.

 

[dascoyne]

Dave Filoni's wife is an actual witch? That could explain the thematic shift.

Not the first time I've heard that.
