Mini Series The Acolyte 1.02 - Discussion Thread (Spoilers Allowed)

Very interesting day will be tomorrow.

 

It will be a day long remembered...it has seen the end of the Clone Wars with the Bad Batch and will soon see the end of the High Republic

 

Soo now

 

Minutes are lasting hours today...,.

 

I'm going to take a nap and not read spoilers.

 

This will be up when i am asleep, lol.

 

These walk cycles are getting worse all the time.

 

Fine episode, with nice action, and yeah, i can feel the mystery around...

8/10

 

Has the look, feel, and dialogue of a fan film. If it was a fan film, I'd say the acting is decent. It's a pretty straight forward simplistic story line so far.

I really hope we get a "bloody ell mate" at some point.

 

Jacki continues to be my favorite character

 

A very solid episode and together with the first episode this is a promising start for the show. I can’t wait to learn more about what happened 16 years ago. The fact that a Jedi Master would kill themselves over is pretty shocking.

 

Episode 1 was better although we get the plot and character more fleshed out in this one. Sometimes the pace is a bit off, especially at the ending. And that ending. Welcome to Khofar. Very Dagobah like. And it felt like those naive fun 80s adventure films. I am slowly warming up to the main characters. Its good to see Sol starting to feel the heat a bit more here, and i really like this character. Stenberg is good, although the twin plot is not really that surprising - now its established so lets see where they go with it. A broader perspective i guess. The show feels nothing like Andor, so i dont get those comparisons at all. Its much more lighthearted. I like them to go darker, but the warm nostalgic prequel feel is a welcome one as well.

 

Yes was glad Vern was like nah. She innocent

Yes, and the Wookie Jedi looked way too Bigfoot for me. Otherwise, I enjoyed the first two episodes though.

 

something to do with the lie that there’s “peace”. Maybe a certain Jedi Master knew there’s Sith and that’s a dangerous secret to let out. So he takes a vow of silence

 

I love the old-school wipes—in all their variety—in these two episodes.

 

I think its intential that the feel of some of the locations are like that. I agree on the abrupt endings though and here - is the main issue i have - that the Disney + episodes in general could have done with 10 minutes extra time.

 

I don’t find the endings abrupt at all. It feels like a natural end point in each.

 

Hella boring.

So much cringe line delivery. I want to see the fat Jedi fight. Dude should have gone a bit longer in acting class.

Wth was that excuse for a Wookie about?

When I watch SW I want to see sword fighting not kung fu. I don’t care if it’s cool looking.

An interesting theory. I enjoyed both episodes. I had a couple of niggles with a couple of the ship and character designs. However, I guess the ships I can let go as this is set 100 years before TPM and, just like car design in real life, aesthetics change. I thought a couple of the non-human Jedi looked a bit more Star Trek than Star Wars. Wookie Jedi was too Bigfoot for me. But still, as I said, I enjoyed it because it's new Star Wars. Like others, I think the Sol is shaping-up to be a really interesting character.

 

I say they feel like old serial cliffhanger type of endings. The extra time i would have wanted was in general for the whole episode.

 

I think the real problem is the style of the end credits themselves. I appreciate them paying homage to the movies, with the “iris-out” thing, but endings like these are better served with a hard cut to black and a few seconds of silence, before the credits actually roll.
