    We're excited to react to the brand new premiere for The Acolyte! A new live action Star Wars show for Disney Plus!
    From the official description of the show:
    "Set in Star Wars' High Republic era long before the events of The Phantom Menace, The Acolyte will tell the story of how a revered Jedi Master's (Lee Jung-jae) investigation into a string of grisly murders brings him face-to-face with a lethal warrior (Amandla Stenberg) from his past."

    Your reservations prior to viewing the show is on par with any other Star Wars fan. It's absolutely legit. I am just excited for this, because it's an era never explored, new characters, and the only connections we will have are the alien races...that's it. Soooo exciting!

    I think there’s an episodic mystery that gets solved by the end of each episode while there’s a longer overarching season mystery. So them getting the twin sister reveal out of the way makes sense.

    Yay, so great to be back with you guys for some new Star Wars tales! Couldn't wait to see you guys experience this one; it's definitely an unusual feeling, isn't it? It's familiar, but in a way that's completely new. Not having that connection and preconceptions about the characters is almost unnerving, but it's exciting to have a story we don't really know that we get to unravel. After the first two episodes, it wasn't an instant "wow" like I first had with Andor or Ahsoka, but it's still really got me excited for the ride ahead. Look forward to sharing the journey with you guys!

    I don't mind people disliking things that I like, but compared to Ahsoka, Kenobi and Book of Boba Fett this show actually feels like it was written by professionals and not someone smashing their favourite Star Wars toys together but with a budget, so I think the hate this show is apparently getting is unfair. Even The Mandalorian, which I generally like, has some really stupid writing. I don't know what criticism you can make of The Acolyte that doesn't go at least double for those other shows.

      ​@@cliveklg7739 There is no need to point out the glaring flaws but since you insist: 1.The characters are flat, one dimensional, mentally challenged and their actions make no sense.
      2. The events go from one random plot point to another with no logical consistency in between.
      3. The only decent acting is done by Lee Jung-jae, the rest are simply horrible.
      4. The plot armor and contrived events are ridiculous.

    They're doing the twin thing again, sorry, twins... Let's see where this familiar path will take us.
    If they also introduce a younger Master Yoda, I'm buying it!
    It's pretty good to finally see Jedi defending themselves with something other than their lightsabers.
    We've already seen a Padawan Wookie in "The Clone Wars," but it's even more interesting to see one in live action.

      @@nerdymarriedcouple Shogun is a masterpiece. Absolutely you should watch it. I am sure one of the leads, Anna Sakai will be nominated and possibly win an Emmy for her performance. 'Shogun' And "The Bear' are too of the best acted shows I've seen in decades. That said, you should watch the 'The Bear' too. Be prepared for amazing acting and stress if you do.
      Fallout is really good too, definitely more humor in it.
      X-Men 97... did you watch the previous X-Men animated series and enjoy it? Then yeah. If you didn't watch it, not sure it would be worth it to you as you'd be missing out on a lot of call back material.

    Not sure what the controversy is around the showrunner. I feel like some bad faith people are stirring things up again or getting her confused with someone else. Anyways, really like the first two episodes. Only nitpick is some weird editing choices for some transition scenes especially on Carlax.

      @jacobtomasi1542 sure she last nailed the coffin for SW. I’ve been hearing that for years since the Prequel trilogy with people going crazy about George Lucas’s take.
      And working for Harvey Weinstein as an assistant doesn’t automatically mean she knew what he was doing behind the scenes. Otherwise she would have been in court with him.
