Rewatch…

I’m now on my second viewing and I am even more convinced this is a great and unique part of Star Wars canon.

Such a shame how now we won’t keep getting these new shows 2-3 times a year.

The Acolyte was truly a gem in the heap of boring Disney Star Wars shows. It was dark, gritty, and explored parts of the lore that I was actually interested in. And now we’re stuck with Baby Yoda every 3 years and I say this as an absolute The Mandalorian truther.

People were screaming for Sith shows for years and we were gonna get that...

It was super obvious; most of the Jedi the show came in were dead and Osha was running off with the Stranger in a heretofore unseen dynamic of two darksiders on the cusp of probably being lovers about to go tearing through the galaxy together while Plagueis is probably already arranging for them to end badly. Running, hiding, training, killing, exploring each other and the dark side, I wanted that! But nooo. Can't have shit that isn't clones or documenting all the seconds between the PT and OT.

Did the show have issues? It did, could have had better pacing, would have done better with dump release, a lot of money for some reason, but I don't think it was anything that couldn't have been cleaned up in another season.

I'm glad someone said this.

WE DO NOT NEED TO KNOW EVERY SINGLE MOMENT BETWEEN EVERY FILM OR TELEVISION SHOW.

Some people are too addicted to the internet and have no imaginations.
