Star Wars: The Acolyte [Spoilers on the North Ridge!]

[NurgleHH]

An average show, a lot of cheap martial arts instead of lightsaber duels. Disney seems to save money in production. Story is ok. Hope the next will be getting better.

[Minsk]

I enjoyed it, looking forward to seeing how it develops

 I quite enjoyed seeing the Jedi fighting without her sabre, made her look more protective than we've previously seen.

Enjoyed the show overall, but the non-twist was a bit obvious.

Feels like The Matrix meets Star Wars.

Disappointed that Carrie-Anne Moss got bumped off.

[OSHIROmodels]

Might want to change the title to include spoilers 

[NurgleHH]

I hope Jacky Chan is in the next episode

No, he gets killed.

No! Jacky is bigger than Chuck Norris. No one can kill him

It looks very nice, but the story and the dialogue are a tad lame.
It needs a touch of Filoni/Favreau seasoning

[OSHIROmodels]

I think it will be like Ahsoka, better watched in one or two goes rather than week by week (at least I found that with Ahsoka).

This.

The start was...ok...hoping it warms up a bit...for now I'm spending more time looking at the set dressing which was less wooden than some of the acting.

Not sure who the lady with the green face is, but she has less acting range than the Yoda puppet they used in Empire Strikes Back

"Not sure who the lady with the green face is, but she has less acting range than the Yoda puppet they used in Empire Strikes Back."

Yup. Her action figure doesn't have any points of articulation. Just a 2D plastic standee.

Underwhelmed at the first two episodes, but I'll give it a second look in the hopes it takes off and goes somewhere. Not holding my breath tho.

Only reason I re-upped my Disney+ subscription was the upcoming Daredevil, so anything extra is gravy.

Old fashioned Hollywood casting couch hire updated for a modern audience

I've noticed this with Star Trek: Brave New Worlds' Vulcans as well. People seem to equate living a life in control of your emotions as talking in a flat monotone.

I would like to think that if I was connected to the Universe, I would be happy and at peace, not dead inside and wondering what the point is of getting up in the morning I don't remember the Shaolin Monks in Kung Fu wandering around like robots. No idea why it's been adopted in today's shows.

I made the mistake of typing "acolyte review" into YouTube. It has not been well received. Sadly the headline were various levels of clickbait and I didn't dig in, but the best (excluding the racist and homophobic titles, which was about 90% of them) said it was okay.

Apparently episode 3 is going to break Star Wars, and, if it's on the Internet, it must be true

I just realised this is starting to drift away from LAF "values" a bit, so to bring it back to gaming - has anyone noticed any decent tech in the series?

The stunner thing looked like a can of Pringles, although it could probably be represented by any GW oversized pistol

The ships are okay, but they seem, in general, to be equating old with "square and clunky". There's nothing really jumping out at me droid-wise either, although the guard droid thing on the temple door could be fun to add.
