The Acolyte

[Cos]

Jedi are the weakest, most naive people in Star Wars, the force should kick them out and make them them take the short yellow spaceship to training class. No spoilers, but they just look so weak.

Very inconsistent. One scene, they look like Yoda with the force. Next scene they fight hand-to-hand. Next scene, they can take out the bad guy so easily by hand, but no, they can’t kill by their hands - let’s let some giant bugs kill the bad guy instead. It’s okay if some bugs were to kill the bad guy as long as it is not by their hands. Jedi are inconsistent and stupid.

But not 3.3/10 rating stupid.

One thing this series is doing is showing how the Jedi have a narrow view of the force. We still have to speculate about motives because we still haven't really seen what happened to Mae, Osha, and the witch clan.

Episode 6 feels way too short, which also means it is a good episode. I like it.

I think if I don’t count episode 3, The Acolyte seems pretty good or decent.

I must admit that The Acolyte is not a favorite of mine.

Jedi Masters, Obi Wan, Anakin Skywalker, Darth Vader aka. Anakin Skywalkers, Luke Skywalker aka. Anakin Skywalkers son or Darth Vader no matter how you look at it same dude same result. or Yoda. Pick your favorite Sith lord. Best Light Saber fights. My favorite, Obi Wan and Anakin Skywalker. Not much use of the force straight up skill.

This one is not as bad as the others, but it is still a bit shaky.

There are only 2 good things about The Acolyte S01.

The fighting scenes, especially in the season finale, were good. Like Matrix good.

And we get to see Yoda in the season finale.

So now you guys have to watch at least E08 to see Yoda.

And now, if they don’t cancel this series due to abysmal ratings, I have to watch S02 to see more of Yoda.

I did like that last episode, but the whole thing gets a little thin with the underlying main character's story/origin. It is still not Mando good, but was watchable.

“Thin story” is sort of the hallmark of the Star Wars movies in general but some of the spinoffs rises a bit over that.

Thin story but good characters was sort of the hallmark, but these TV series are really lacking when it comes to good characters so the thin story becomes apparent. Not unlike Rebel Moon. I read an article that said Snyder wants to make a THIRD installment of that...

I dunno but I liked Andor, both the movie and the TV series. As for Rebel Moon: watchable with a very generous use of the fast-forward button.

I was pretty frustrated with the short episodes where it took forever to get the story out. They did stick the landing so overall I guess it was good.

You mean the episodes were mercifully short?

 

[mtrycrafts]

Is the series over?
We will start tonight.

Yes season 1 is complete. Shall I tell you how it ends?

 

[AcuDefTechGuy]

With Yoda.

That’s all I can remember from the whole 1st season.

 

[TankTop5]

They kill Yoda in season 2

 

[mtrycrafts]

Yes season 1 is complete. Shall I tell you how it ends?

Thanks, but will get there by tomorrow night. I can wait.

 

[AcuDefTechGuy]

They kill Yoda in season 2

That would be really dumb writing. Oh wait, we are talking about Disney Star Wars writers here.
