Spoilers Star Wars: The Acolyte [Spoilers]

I get it. No one is allowed to have a negative opinion unless it is nefarious and toxic.

I have dislike all of the Disney Plus live action shows. The Mando season 1 and 2 were mid, at best. I thought 1/3 of Andor was really excellent but bogged down by the rest of the 2/3. Rogue was was great for half the movie. I always skip the first half of the movie. I never understand why so many people think it is great except maybe stockholm syndrome. Force Awakens had potential. I loved Rey and Finn and their relationship. I was not a fan of Poe. I wanted more Rey and Finn, especially Finn. Boyega was great and utterly misused.

I enjoyed the animated offering much more. Rebels, Clone Wars 7 and Bad Batch were good and I enjoyed the characters and stories. Resistance was awful.

Heir to the Empire in the EU was great and I also highly enjoyed Michael Stackpole's X-Wing series and I remember enjoying Black Fleet Crisis but it has been a few decades since I read it. I was never a fan of the Vong stuff although a few books were enjoyable there.

I am a huge Ahsoka fan and I really love Rosario Dawson. She plays an older Ahsoka very well and Natasha was a great casting choice for Sabine, but the show was garbage. It did not even get to the point until the final 2 episodes. I really like Baylin, but they did nothing with him or his apprentice. The character changes for Sabine were just bad and took her backwards from Rebels and the explanation and shoehorning her as a force -user were done poorly.

It has nothing to do with "vibes." I dislike the live offerings. They are just bad. There are some hints of good ideas but never executed well. They shows always seemed rushed, maybe because they have short seasons and runtimes. They jump from place to place rather than taking their time. Andor was a rare exception, but often just stalled. I will watch season 2 as I liked the characters.

These are my opinions but I find the writing is terrible across the board. I stand by my opinion and my "A, B, and C team" statement. Maybe they are decent writers and the Lucasfilm leaders are doing them dirty and making compromises that affect the final product but I have zero confidence in live action SW now.
I always skip the first 2/3 of Citizen Kane, the writing in Moby Dick doesn't start getting good until Ahab is killed by the White Whale, and Whistler's Mother is poorly written because it has her sitting down and not standing.

I'm not a big fan of lotr and gave only see the films once. And they were filmed here.
 


To be fair, a lot of fans do not do that. Many fans are there to be fans. Others are fans that are there to fan the flames. The former shouldn't be lumped in with the latter, even if the latter are more vocal about things.

I guess that’s my point. I get being a fan. Fair enough. And I get being passionate about something you’re a fan of.

But if someone has disliked or hated everything in that fandom for three decades, perhaps a change is a good idea.

Sure. But at a certain point, fans should be policing "fans" if they don't want to be lumped in.
 





Am I right in understanding that in this era the Jedi are an Arrogant Police power? Im hoping that Master Sol isn't actually involved in whatever dark doings happened at the fire on Osha and Mae's planet. And I am wondering what level of negligence was practiced that led to Mae's hate
Yes, and it’s worth noting that was an intentional subtext in The Phantom Menace.

Sol is lying about something - notice how his stories change - but I think he means well.
