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

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

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?

My thoughts too.  Out of all of the new stuff, the only series I was really keen on was Andor.
