Live-Action Star Wars on Disney+ | Skeleton Crew | December 3 | R.I.P. Carl Weathers | The Acolyte canceled

[Hijo Del Promo]

I know this is sick of me to even say, but the Ultimate Disney troll would be if one day they decide to change each time someone says, "You dont know the Power of the Dark Side" or "Give yourself to the Power of the Dark Side" to "The Power of One, The Power of Two, The Power of MANY!"

To answer the part about being 20 feet away and invincible, it was all about the helmet. He made mention in another episode about how it blocks the force/Jedi being able to get in his head. She felt him immediately when he had the helmet off, then, he immediately put it back on when he recognized this and vanished.

Spoiler

but when osha had the helmet on, she was getting on qimirs head like her monther was doing to torbin that why both their eyes go all black


also, apparently this magneto helmet feat is brand new thing that the shows seems to only use because of convenience

so whats the next convenient explanation, that the helmet is like a one way mirror?

 

[noskey]

Oh almost forgot. Did anyone else hear "MORTAL KOMBAAAAAT!" when Sol hit the Liu Kang?

 

[noblekane]

that is one of the worst shows ive ever seen in my life

 

[dland24]

Nevermind. It was addressed.

 

[jaypesoz]

At least Andor season 2 is up next. That should cleanse the palette somewhat. Especially since K-2SO and Krennic are byke!

The Acolyte had some ideas on paper, but the actual execution was poor.

I liked the lightsaber changing colors though.

 

[Nike Jordan]

Am I the only one who thinks the Senator looks like Deion Sanders?

 

[masagipatron]

I remember that actor from Homeland.

finale has some cool moments but writing is just inconsistent and all over the place

the show has a good concept but hindered by bad writing and dialogue

Spoiler

the lightsaber fight is awesome and bleeding the kyber crystals and osha turning is a nice visual but damn it doesnt overcome the bad finale

the sisters flipped and flopped like ten times and in the end, osha still seems super unsure about being evil but maybe she was mesmerized by his “lightsaber” from the pool scene

makes no sense why theyd leave mae and mae had a complete 180 from where she started and the flip isnt justified

blaming everything on sol is messed up but its kind of a shallow reasoning to keep mae safe, so she could find the stranger/her old padawan? and speaking of inconsistency, she felt qimir from miles away by stepping on the land but 20 feet away and he all of a suddens invicible?

i think the problem with this show is they made it thinking its going to get a second season instead of making one cohesive season that can stand on its own, i mean to tease another sith and then yoda in the end, ludicrous because now theres a chance theres no pay off

i dont believe the bs the creator said about her making this like theres no other seasons in mind, complete bs, also she said she saw manny jacinto and then added more of him? so his initial role was much smaller which would have made no sense at all


it was an eh ending but at least we are done with the show, i guess

Spoiler

Pretty much agreed with most of that.

The show wasn't great, but also wasn't "10/100" bad. The story/concept was interesting, but the execution wasn't great. Felt clunky and jarring at bits. Cool action scenes though. Bleeding Kyber crystal scene was pretty neat... seeing it in live action and all. Shoutout to Jedi Survivor.

I get wanting to do the Mae/Osha 180, but the transition didn't feel so naturally to me. And it felt really rushed towards the end when Mae just suddenly decided to sacrifice everything for Osha. Perhaps she was a bit guilty for setting the fire?

Sol... thought he was doing the right thing, but later followed with mistake after mistake... and then trying to justify the mistake. SMH. Then having Vernestra throw him under the bus like that!

The problem now is... I don't want to see an S2, but I'm curious to see where they go from there.
Surely that means more Plagueis and Yoda?

Oh, well.

Carrie's boss!

Spoiler

Finale was decent. I was surprised that they revealed Plagueis was on that planet the entire time. I thought he was the one messing with Osha when she had the helmet on, based on the expression Qimir had. Like he knew who was doing that.

Sol v. Qimir was good. I chuckled when he jumped back in slow motion. Sucks that he died.

Did Vanestra throw Sol under the bus to continue to cover the Jedis?

I was bummed Lucas films only allowed the show to use the back of Yoda lol.

I wouldn't mind a season 2 to further expand Plagueis story in this new canon, a follow-up on Venestra/Qimir, and what Yoda will say about the entire situation. Will it happen? Idk. But there is plenty of content for them to further expand and connect these eras.

Overall, the show was entertaining, but the story could've been better. I think I was looking forward to the show because I began re-reading Light of the Jedi and was able to see that era of Jedi in live-action. The show did a good job in portraying them from the book.

Interested in seeing what Skeleton Crew is all about and looking forward to Andor S2.

Spoiler

Yeah, I thought so. After her convo with Senator David Estes, it seemed like the politicians were trying to make their move on the Jedi, to reduce their power and influence. Had the whole truth came out, the senators would have had more ammo to shut them down.

I'm not sure what you want me to say lol. It was an entire segment/plot point in the show. Not sure how that's a convenient explanation.

Yeah, this is how I read it as well. Damage control.

its convenient that it never existed n all of sw canon, ever

cortosis has existed but was never used that way

i mean the show give jedis power for convenience all the time, one second sol can detect someone then the next he cant

venestra all of a sudden has batman game detective mode and could sense what happened 16 years in the past?

again its the inconsistency, dont tell me the helmet blocks the "force" then show it not being able to block it for plot, thats convenience and lazy writing

as stated, good concept, terrible execution and that sums up the whole show

Plagueis screwin' with them.
It did seem like Osha couldn't control it as well... like the helmet (or Plagueis) took over her.

definitely would have made more sense than what they showed

and they showed gollum doing something, maybe that would pique my interest more for season 2

 

[noblekane]

the acolyte aka tell me you never seen star wars without telling me you never seen star wars.

for the love of the lord please no season 2

 

[Fozz]

I hope we get more Plaggy G. I really want to see how strong he was.

I thought Darth Revan was around during this era, but was actually around thousands of years before lmao. Wouldn't mind seeing him in live-action.

Revan is the glass alarm Kathleen can break to have the entire fanbase back in her palms. I feel like it’s only a matter of time. She needs a Hail Mary play for something post-Mando movie because that Rey movie ain’t it.

I am sorry but saying something is "convenient" because it never existed in all of SWs canon is absurd thing to say. Using that logic, Star Wars can never introduce anything new because it didnt exist before.

nah, thats not what i am saying at all thats only reading part of the issue

im saying its convenient as it functions one way in one scene and then doesnt in another, thats convenience for the stories sake, a deus ex machina does exist for a reason but just because its used all the time doesnt mean it should and this time, its not even used well

if that thing is going to block the force, then its got to block the force all the time both ways, not that it all of a sudden conveniently not blocking the force because they want osha to look cool with the helmet on (and used as a foreshadowing) then it blocks the force again later in that same episode

but you also got to wonder, this show is what, a hundred years in the past? if that is such an effective weapon against jedis, why doesnt any other sith has used it?

it is what it is when theres thousands of years of source through books, you introduce something its got to be strong and not as inconsistent as the writing

its always cool to see something new, i loved how smiling sith helm looks but some of these has got to make some sense

like venestras prower to see the past, thats an awesome new power ive never seen but now everytime theres an investigation, someone like yoda should be able to stand in the same place and see what happens just like her moving forward which really why wouldnt the space cops not send someone who can do that into every crime scenes?

 

[spiderjericho]

Man. Story wise worst Disney+ Star Wars show.

The positives were the space scenes and choreography were great.

I get the idea of the story. Showing the Jedi as fallible and flipping it on its head that the Sith are just the other side of the coin (despite eventual cough cough facism, murder and dictatorship). And playing that dynamic out through the sisters. Just feels the show did more harm than good to Star Wars lore, making the Jedi less cool and introducing forgettable characters who spat terrible lines to further a clunky forgettable story.

Whoever said Andor season 2. Please just spare that show from all of this mediocrity. This show was a result of the same terrible green lighting for streaming content, crisp writing and impelling storylines. I don’t care about Gollum in the cave or the little troll looking character originally introduced in Episode 5.

 

[debso]

thats why they think they can get away with these mediocre shows

throw a quick glimpse of a favorite character and all of a sudden it worth a second a season


like you ask who wouldnt want to see tenbrous or plagueis… well a casual like me who have no idea who those are could care less

Respectfully 99% of the complaining comes from ppl who aren't as well versed in star wars as they think, not so closeted white supremacists, and ppl looking for clicks.

this show is a lot better than a lot of thr **** ppl say they love but whatever.

cant deny the review bombers and ive managed to ignore those but a lot of legit star wars fans just do not like this show, hell look at the comments here, people who thinks its average outnumber those who like it 5 to 1 maybe

and i saw the show and it was mediocre at best

and its ridiculous to say people who didnt like it arent well versed in sw, a good show is a good show, andor is a great show and its probably the least star warsy show there is yet, im a super casual who has no idea who plaguei or s revan is, never even seen a single animated shows and i loved mando s1 and s2

i enjoyed ahsoka way more than the acolyte despite not having the vast knowledge about her history

i talk too much but bare with me, this show was advertised as a murder mystery and sith centric show, well the murder mystery was thrown out the first two episodes and it really didnt center around any siths, hell the creator even said qimir role was much smaller and they just added more when they saw how good manny jacinto was... thats crazy considering how little the screen time a "sith" has on the show, hell they never even really say qimirs a sith, its just implied


and lastly, the show has reportedly half the viewers of ahsoka and only a quarter of the mandalorian so people stopped tuning in, even people who hate watches didnt want to stick around
