    SPOILER: The Acolyte -- Disney+ Star Wars -- begins June 5, 2024

    It’s interesting to consider how reimagining a line or a plot point can lead to intriguing new ideas and storylines. No line is a throwaway when you use your imagination. For example, part of John Knoll’s inspiration for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story was to provide a plausible explanation for why...

    SPOILER: The Acolyte -- Disney+ Star Wars -- begins June 5, 2024

    The line “If you draw a weapon on a Jedi, you lose” could suggest that by revealing oneself as a Sith and engaging in direct combat with a light saber, risks exposing the Sith’s presence to the Jedi. Even if the Sith were to win the immediate battle, the larger strategy of remaining hidden and...

    SPOILER: The Acolyte -- Disney+ Star Wars -- begins June 5, 2024

    The Jedi Council, including Yoda, operated with high transparency and collective decision-making. Yoda wouldn’t hide critical Sith information without consulting the Council. The idea that Jocasta Nu would independently conceal such information is not supported by canon. The Council’s genuine...

    SPOILER: The Acolyte -- Disney+ Star Wars -- begins June 5, 2024

    The Jedi would not just conceal information about the Sith and hide it away, especially if the mystery was unresolved. If the Jedi discovered the Sith’s presence, they would take immediate action to address the threat rather than bury the knowledge in the secret archives. Yoda would have acted...

    SPOILER: The Acolyte -- Disney+ Star Wars -- begins June 5, 2024

    In TPM, Jedi Master Ki-Adi-Mundi states, “The Sith have been extinct for a millennium.” This indicates that the Jedi Council, including Yoda, were unaware of the Sith’s continued existence.. obviously. It’s possible that any Jedi who did discover the Sith during Acolyte might be killed to...

    SPOILER: The Acolyte -- Disney+ Star Wars -- begins June 5, 2024

    Acolyte’s first two episodes have their intriguing moments, but it’s weighed down by some issues. Main problem isn’t lack of mystery but rather poor writing, awkward dialogue. Many character interactions feel forced, which takes away from the immersion. Anyone else feel this? Show does a...

    SPOILER: The Acolyte -- Disney+ Star Wars -- begins June 5, 2024

    Given that the Jedi in TPM claim Sith have been extinct for a millennium, does this imply that Sith are never discovered in Acolyte? Or maybe the Jedi who uncover the Sith's existence die, and the secret is kept hidden?

    has potential, but its true success will depend on how it develops its story and characters. I was disappointed that Carrie-Anne Moss’s character died so early. This sudden loss ended the show for my wife, who was looking forward to seeing more of Moss’s performance. The series needs to sustain...

    I’ve been engaging in discussions and contributing my thoughts. The question is, are you truly open to different perspectives or just here to reinforce your own biases? Because this is what this is all about. I’m here to share and discuss, just like everyone else. If my approach isn’t to your...

    Will you also join me, Disney Irish? Or do you plan to keep the confrontational, accusatory tones? Clear the board—my summary isn’t what fired you up. You were upset with me before that. Something else is bothering you. My Last Jedi stance? No way that’s it. Get it off your chest and clear the...

    Can’t believe we are having this conversation… I wasn’t making fun of anyone. I was summarizing the views on the board in what I thought was a funny way, but there was no attack. Some thought it was funny; go back and read it—it doesn’t make fun of anyone. Where else have I attacked someone in...

    What opinion did I ridicule? And if I did, were they attacking me first? It’s funny because this started with me agreeing with an Acolyte character observation, and then MisterPenguin attacked. Crazy. MisterPenguin has been upset for years when people disagree with him, as shown by his...

    It's interesting that you accuse me of manipulating the board when all I did was rephrase doctornick's comment to keep the discussion friendly and engaging. You're so focused on opposing views that you can't handle differing opinions. Does it drive you crazy? You tell me. MisterPenguin, your...

    She’s a Theelin/Human hybrid, so her design isn’t as flamboyant as pure Theelins, which might be why she reminds you of some Star Trek species. And yeah, the actress playing her is Dafne Keen, who was awesome as Laura (X-23) in Logan. She’s got such great screen presence, even with the limited...

    With fewer people tuning into traditional TV or reading newspapers, movie studios are finding it tougher to reach their audience. The days of easy promotion through TV commercials and print ads is gone, and now studios have to get creative with digital and social media marketing to catch...

    Didn’t Kevin Costner explain that ongoing production delays conflicted with his other commitments, leading to scheduling issues. While these complications contributed to the delay of the final episodes, Costner offered compromises that weren’t accepted. The narrative that he didn’t fulfill his...

    SPOILER: The Acolyte -- Disney+ Star Wars -- begins June 5, 2024

    Comedians (and I admit I’m not one) often use public observations, opinions, and everyday scenarios as material for their stand-up routines. They highlight and exaggerate these to create humor, sometimes summarizing and reinterpreting situations in a way that isn’t literal but is meant to be...

    My intention was to bring a bit of humor to our discussions by highlighting and summarizing the diverse thoughts shared here. These were opinions from the two pages, and I summarized them. I didn't realize it would affect you so negatively. Disney Irish, I won't summarize the Acolyte message...
