Looking forward to it. ;D

This looks like it could be interesting! I’ll be sure to check it out, hope this is an Andor, and not another Obi-wan lol
-
June 5th?
Not May the fourth ? :D
-
Not a massive amount to go on but looks ok so far...looks like it might be set a while before the movies (not heard anything about it).
-
There is already a Wikipedia page about it - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Acolyte_(TV_series), although it doesn't add much.
Hopefully there will be more details supplied in the next couple of months.

Intruiging, but something I can't put my finger on is making me feel off towards this one. I hope I'm wrong and it's the quality of Mando.
-
All the details I could find out.
• Set 100 years before 'The Phantom Menace'
• Didn't use The Volume VFX at all during filming
• Narratively similar to Andor
• 8 episodes
• Episodes around 30 min
• Pitched as a multi-season show
• Incorporates EU / Legends lore

Well all of that sounds promising to me! I’m cautiously excited about this one :D

Also, we've got Star Wars: Skeleton Crew due out this year as well.

Yet to see any of the TV series but I just checked and the total episodes for all of them combined exceeds 600. That is a lot of TV. That includes the animated ones, about half. Like the movies, not sure I want to delve too deep into the TV stuff. And I wonder, where is the saturation point of diminishing returns.
If I were to watch some of the live action, which series best represents the movies in quality of content, especially the original trilogy?
-
And I wonder, where is the saturation point of diminishing returns.
My thoughts too. Out of all of the new stuff, the only series I was really keen on was Andor.
-
Is this based on any books/comics/games?
Always interested in anything Star Wars.

Flaming is already well underway, with even the Critical Drinker taking pot shots avant la lettre. But as usual he raises some valid points, so I have but middling hopes. I'll probably watch it, because: Star Wars, but I don't have any hopes for another Andor...

Well, IMHO Andor is by far the best in terms of storytelling. It's a lot darker than the original trilogy though. But very good.
Something lighter, and more swashbuckling would be The Mandalorian, especially the first couple of seasons. It drops off a tad towards the end of the series, but it's still fun to watch.
The rest is certainly not bad, but less captivating than the two I mentioned. So I'd recommend starting with those two :)

It's set around 100 years before Phantom Menace and right after the High Republic era of which there are several books and comics now. It's not from anything already written as far as I'm aware, just based in the period. It will probably have some characters from the High Republic but I haven't looked into/read any of that yet so I don't know for sure.
Flaming is already well underway,
Haters gonna hate no matter what. Load of hot air.
Most of them need this :D

Cool, thanks. Sounds good to me so far.

I have not seen Andor, but season 1 and 2 of the Mandalorian are spot on for capturing the feel of the original films.
Bobba Fett was underwhelming, and Obi Wan was not good other than a few scenes of Vader curb stomping some folks.

That's what I do like about the more recent stuff with Vader.
In the originals, he was feared. Watching them now, I think ... why? He's slow, etc.
Then, Rogue One shows him dismantling half a crew. Obi-Wan just showed him to be absolutely merciless. I really like the way they've turned Vader into the R-Rated murderer they hinted at in the first movies.
Also, Andor is the best Rogue One-esque of the shows. I'd put it up as a great show, not just a great Star Wars show.
