Star Wars The Acolyte

Yeah righto

Look I'm ready to move on from this, but first I will kindly ask you to point out where I said that Plagueis ruined Acolyte s1 for me, rather than Acolyte being cancelled = no plagueis show in the future = no loss for me, and I'll put me hand up and admit yep, that didn't come out right, because I am relatively sure that never happened.

I never said you did, which is a bit ironic after your bleating about me not reading your posts correctly.

This thread trying once again to be worse than the actual show, but falling short.

I honestly don't think the show is all that bad. Admittedly, it's hard to get into at first, I watched the first couple of episodes months ago and only just got round to finishing it, but it wasn't too bad in the end. Far from perfect but better than people give it credit for.

The show was fine without being spectacular. It’s Star Wars fans that suck. Can’t let other people just enjoy things. Lots of shows struggle to set everything up in the first season and also deliver a compelling story in its own right. If Breaking Bad was a Star Wars show, it never would have seen a second season.

What is it with you and Breaking Bad when it comes to Star Wars?

Ahsoka is getting a second season.

Maybe this show was just... Not even that good, and also it's restricted itself in the timeline it takes place.

Some also considered it lore breaking or retconning, and that's one thing that you have to be very careful with for star wars fans.

I am aware acolyte didn't invent it, but it's given it the largest exposure. The whole bleeding Saber crystals with nasty thoughts to make them red is the stupidest shit I've heard. I much prefer to original theory that sith use synthetic crystals which always come out red for reasons.

Actually not even star wars fans but any fanbase. A lot of Tolkien fans are not happy with rings of power.

Restricted itself? What is that logic?

One is run by Filoni and the other by a newcomer. It’s pretty obvious why one is getting a second season over the other. I rate Acolyte over Ahsoka for having fresher ideas, more potential and more interest outside of ‘look, it’s those cartoon characters that I used to watch come to life’.

Yes it's a bit strange that the guy who has spent a number of pages in this thread complaining that he wants fresh products with non-George Lucas characters thinks a show set 200 years before anything is somehow 'restricted' and not very good.

You rate it over Ahsoka for concepts, but do you think it was executed better?

I think the space whales part is some of the best Star Wars we've had recently. The visuals and music and the sense of wonder hit all the marks for me personally. The rest of the show wasn't bad enough to drag it down, just mediocre enough to let it shine.

I thought the space whales were ****ing shit, as was the idea of travelling Jonah style, in its mouth. Cartoon concept (which adds up, I guess).

I thought Acolyte was much better done. Episode five in particular was shocking and entertaining.
