That last sentence is an amazing declaration considering you don’t know what actually happened.

I'll put it in a spoiler tag in case some don't want to see it.
"Lesbian space witch virgin birth" that is somehow suppose to destroy what made Anakin special.

Why is it amazing? It's a declaration of the obvious. The witches are all on the floor, no real sign of a fight. A bunch of force witches aren't going to just go out without a fight. You're right, I don't know what happened. But the set up was sloppy, hopefully it has a good payoff. That's my point. I "think" what they show me. And if what they show me is poorly executed, than it is what it is in my eyes.
I'm sorry, you can go into another read between the lines monologue if you want. But Disney has struggled with their shows in my opinion. The consistency just isn't there so far with this show. Sure it's just 3 episodes and hopefully it gets better. But as of now we have two just average episodes and one I'll say sub par episode in my opinion.

This real interesting thing is we don't even know that. How did she "create" them exactly? We've seen all sorts of tech.
And if it was immaculate Midichlorians, maybe it was Plagueis all along as I think you were surmising earlier.

What the frell?!
Forbes is supposed to be a business magazine. When did they hire a Twitter troll to churn out episode by episode 'critiques'?
Do they have a week by week breakdown of Young Sheldon, or is there something about a Disney-StarWars property attracting specific attention? Anyone there thinking of running for president?

Hey Penguin, tell this guy how much I defend Disney’s decisions regarding the parks. That’s me. A big ol’Pixie Duster.
But yes, you in particular are absolutely incapable of anything other than an obsessive need to “get” Disney.

I dunno, Walter is a DVC owner. Show me your contract(s) Casper or you can't join the real Pixie Duster side.

First couple of hundred tipped you off, huh?
That’s really a “you” problem…the fact they keep doing it is irrelevant…
Maybe you try watching standing on your head?

…oh…I go much deeper than that…I dunno, Walter is a DVC owner. Show me your contract(s) Casper or you can't join the real Pixie Duster side.
Which is of course why my evil regressive plot is to have Disney fail and set us back to the Stone Age
I've had him on ignore for what, now... two years. He wouldn't leave me alone. Became an obsessive stalker. When I didn't respond to him, he kept trying to loop me in on all his Kathleen Kennedy derangement syndrome. I warned him I'd block him and he didn't stop. So, he's blocked and for ever will be. When I set a boundary, it is set.
I have to laugh at all the people responding to posts I don't see and see their exhaustion dealing with him.
Anyway, to anyone who may be listening, @Casper Gutman and I have both good and bad things to say about the parks -- maybe in different proportions. People trying to apply labels of "pixie dusters" or "shills" to anyone are just engaging in ad hominem and haven't progressed emotionally from playground taunts. Especially when it's clear they can't abide anyone having a different opinion and feel the need to constantly shout their opinion into the void thinking it will change other people's opinion. Then they confuse that those who've walked away have conceded the argument to them, when in reality, they're just disgusted with them.
Did I mention that Kathleen Kennedy still runs Star Wars and hasn't been fired?
Fun times.

And word of advice: if you want a character witness…it helps if you don’t get one the prosecution has on film taking handfuls of cash from the mobsters

A certain bird tried to say the last Johnson was the same as empire strikes back…
And couldn’t pivot out of it.
Keep me on ignore forever! The world is a better place.

Sigh...another thread that has been terribly derailed by off-topic bickering.
This thread is supposed to be about The Acolyte.
For myself, so far, it seems clunky. The third episode in particular has numerous, "Huh? That doesn't really make sense" moments. I also don't think the show has a good hook yet.

Agreed. Next weeks the halfway mark and at this point the hype should be all over the place. That's why I say Disney has an issue with their D+ shows. We shouldn't be hoping the halfway mark is the "all right! Now it's going to kick into high gear!" moment.

not quite sure what you mean by that....
and i am probably going to regret opening this can of worms, because the movies portion of this forum does have a good deal of thinly veiled political back and forth. It is very unfortunate.
Regrettably, Disney has gotten a bit political in the last few years. In some ways, their hand was forced, but it is still regrettable in the sense that Disney used to = apple pie. Like the very old ad campaign, "Baseball, apple pie, hot dogs and Chevrolet." Disney used to be as All-American as apple pie. Disney told stories that - mostly - united people.
I know....it wasn't perfect apple pie. But people used to look for the good and the commonality when watching cartoons, movies and theme parks. We could all look at a male mouse and relate to the funny things that happened to him. In 1977, Star Wars had an amazing ability to unite people. We were a culture that believed in heroes.
Nowadays, people watch all media with a more divisive mindset. We no longer have common heroes. We have a sad tribalism, and are frequently looking for reasons to turn on each other - based more on politics than the actual characters/content of any movie or theme park ride.
On the other hand, this show is lacking. Disney seems a bit lost these days. They seem to have forgotten how to tell a good story. They seem to have forgotten that a good story and strong characters unites people. Like they no longer WANT to be apple pie and heroes.
I didn't read much about this show before I watched it, and I'm only a casual fan of SW, but gosh, the Jedi are supposed to be the heroes. Flawed, but still the heroes.
The Jedi depicted here are creepy and stupid/incompetent.
