    Star Wars: The Acolyte

    But, is Disney getting THE MESSAGE? 😁 Review bombing or not, the fact that people are making the effort with the only voice they have, is something at least their stock holders should pay attention to. Paying customers. BTW is SW gonna be like that Twilight guy now, where you're under contract...

    Star Wars: The Acolyte

    Yep. And at the moment after hearing some of the lead's self satisfied remarks about a certain demographic, I finally got really irritated. Probably won't watch this ever. This actress seemed in a real hurry to become box office poison, fast.:lightnin Because humanity might be a species that is...

    Terrence Howard had attitude too, back in the day.

    Star Wars: The Acolyte

    Better performances or at least got better. Characters had charisma. And there was a lot of imagination and care e.g. there's a slow progression to Anakin's fall. The dynamics of Palpatine. Agree with Asta overall this is a blip, for me pretty much like Rings of Power or Willow 2. Onward to...

    Star Wars: The Acolyte

    At the same time co-opting other stories' dynamics. I won't be surprised if a twin has to off another twin e.g. Anakin/Obi. Dathomir witches without the pointy heads. Shading the Jedi e.g. from Ahsoka and all the mechanics:monkey3 Why couldn't they have had HAPPY twins, living a middle class...

    Star Wars: The Acolyte

    For me it's not "franchise fatigue" if that means a story set in the SW world. That initially would interest me. And I was curious, mildly, at least about this show. Then over time, between showrunner and actor/actresses comments, I felt negative. The second any show creator starts talking...

    Star Wars: The Acolyte

    Well, you decide to stay away from George Lucas, but instead *bond* with Filoni, and it's no wonder you get a show that feels Filoni-esque redux. Wait until the heroine(s) meets Ahsoka in the World Between Worlds who intones "I too was conflicted. But you are both the light and the dark, so it...

    Star Wars: The Acolyte

    Throw in female mechanic (Ahsoka, Peli, CW sisters, Rose, the incomparable Rey who knows more about the Falcon than Han). Like - even with no training like Anakin would have had; and probably hardscrabble Tatooine, ALL women know sophisticated mechanics. Isn't anyone a baker or a grape stomper...

    Star Wars: The Acolyte

    Yeah, but it depends on how seriously you take a series that clearly, according the showrunner, was "her story" dressed up in SW robes with a healthy dose of Filoni-ism. For me that crosses into self insert wishful thinking fan fiction, e.g. possibly interesting to watch at times, but forgotten...

    Sideshow Captain Rex Premium Format 2024

    Sux but all of above; and I really admire this piece but was never in the market for it. I can only afford/squeeze in the top ones on my list and sometimes not even that. :monkey2 These days IMO folks need to be really sure - unless you are pretty comfortable. It's worth having just as a great...

    1/6 Hot Toys - MMS681 - Episode II: Attack of The Clones - Mace Windu

    It's so bad I just couldn't. Not when I'm looking and thinking "who the F- is that?"

    Star Wars: The Acolyte

    Actually no, since a lot of is critic and viewer comments. The viewer comments are thoughtful. I haven't trusted any critic comments since Black Panther 1. Although there was a case of a committed cast and director. The more or less "split audience" is probably gonna be accurate. Maybe.

    Star Wars: The Acolyte

    Now the song is stuck in my head...if I ever watch this "she's super freaky, yeeoww.....!" So thanks for that. And I already know the big epi 3 *thing*

    Star Wars: The Acolyte

    The writer sounds giddy, although unaware of all the holes in this article. But I guess the author is blinded by "don’t cast the likes of Barnett (the sexiest Jedi since Ewan McGregor?)":yuck That's kind of the point of Jedi training, Qui-Gon openly saying it's a hard life, Yoda practically...

    Star Wars: The Acolyte

    And in the end, I found much to like about BOBF, besides a badass scene that gives me every excuse to have an ultimate bro pair-up on the shelf. :lol I've even got Obi coming, for reasons besides the fact respect for the man who did what he could with *&^%$ material. Speaking of crying like...

    Star Wars: The Acolyte

    I'm really looking forward to my next SW purchase. That would be Sideshow's release of the Obi-Wan statue. 😁 So when is Andor coming out again? Sounds like I have to wait for a SW fix *patience* while watching the fires burn. I don't agree a woman can't make good SW. But - good point about...

    Alien: Romulus

    Not bad. Not sure about a cast crewing a ship that seem pretty young to be in charge, if that's what's going on. Maybe they are being sent to reform school or something. But not boring. 😁 I refuse to get excited after getting so hyped for Prometheus, way back. :blissysmi

    Star Wars: The Acolyte

    I'd have to pick through to find it again. But it was a thoughtful analysis/guess/possibility. That's what was horrifying. Based on a story where the Mortis gods apparently spend time recapturing some female who did something forbidden. Etc. IMO creators of "expanding the SW universe" really...

    Star Wars: The Acolyte

    Weeeellll....according to one Y-tuber/tubers, they had a theory that based on something I haven't read and/or the Mortis Gods arc; a case was made for the Force literally being female (by the Y-tubers). I'm as much into mythology and folklore as anyone who isn't an academic, so blah blah the...

    InArt: The Lord of the Rings - Aragorn 1:6

    IMO the InArt paint or portrait proto is too soft-eyed/young looking. Don't know how else to put it. Maybe more shading is needed. I ordered it anyway; but Aragorn isn't my favorite character.. I didn't think their Gandalf was perfect either (too robust/handsome). That tease isn't blowing me...
