Indara did not entertain the idea of interfering (which I think is cool of both her and the Jedi) until they came to the notion of a vergence. They were specifically tasked with finding those. I can see that take priority (perhaps unfortunately), but she still acted outside the council's orders...

Wow. Loved it. Basically what I expected. An ever escalating series of cluck ups. No one is to blame (as the zen masters say) they all pulled on the thread, and it created this messed up situation. I had a thought. Sol clearly wants a student in this episode. We see that about him. I think...

I rewatched the latest episode and just so much good stuff. The soundtrack is a tone poem if ever there was one just fantastic. And i particularly watched the "Sith" scenes. They are the reverse of the Empire Strikes Back scenes, but start off the same. Both Yoda and Qimir start off as...

Yea, i'll agree with Andor, it was the weakest of my points. I should have listed it first, then obiwan then ashoka. In fact the only part I really ever watched of Ashoka was the parts with Anakin. I found it interesting from a jungian psychological angle. Otherwise, I could have cared less...

And I disagree with this. I don't think it is pathetically short, nor lacks connective tissue for the plot. I am invested in these characters, and the story they are in. I find the show both engaging and has emotinal depth. I feel the tensions they are creating between Sol, Mae, Osha, Qimir, as...

im just going over those rules. i read it as a d6 for every DSP you have, and you have to roll less than you DSP. Regardless, the Planet of the Apes d6 variant has me going back to D6 for Star wars, and I am redoing the DSP thing into a simple path system linking Hero Points and Dark Side Points.

i think i missed this

I finally looked up Noir tropes, and I think the Acolyte fits pretty darn well into the Noir genre as well: Noir Tropes

quotes from the article, and my replies: I think it’s by far the weakest link in this series, and it’s the central storyline so that’s problematic I think its supposed to be the weakest link. Literally. They barely hold all of this together. They are divided in their own loyalties/focus. In a...

Im calling it now. That scar. Its a whiplash And now I am really reaching: I think Qimir is Vernestra's Padawan Imri Cantaros. In canon he is "dead" and died about a 100 years before the show. After all Vernestra did say "She (mae) was trained by a jedi, i can see that from the holovid" (or...

oooh!!! man!!! I enjoyed the heck out of Episode 6. Gotta see a light whip! Gotta learn about cortosis (and how the helmet worked was a great explination)! The Stranger(?) said a couple of things that I've heard somewhere before (papa palpatine?) The "mirror" scenes: Oshie is "free" Mae is...

All I can say is Yes. I think it is good. You consider these holes, and problems. I can't say that I do. I don't need an in universe reason why Sol can't tell the difference. For me, for the story I think they are trying to tell, it makes sense. Does it make logical sense? Nope. Does it...

im not interested in fixing your opinion, but I am sure not interested in discussing your preferences. Unless you provide examples or evidence then it is not an opinion, it is a preference and there is little point in debating it. As, you cannot debate taste. frex. you say it is not well...

oh, thanks, i tried to look it up and got confused. I have not read the duology. nor the I jedi

i simply do not accept the premise that something must be telegraphed in prior material to be introduced into current media. You do. I guess I have to leave this part of the discussion to well established in canon and famous Chocolate v Vanilla case.

by that logic, then you couldn't introduce anything that is ever new to a franchise without telegraphing it for hundreds of hours. In the thrawn trilogy cortosis was introduced, as far as I know it was not telegraphed for hundreds of hours. To the people at that time, it was a totally new thing...

I was "surprised" that it was Qimir. By that I mean, that they telegraphed it so hard, I figured it HAD to be fake out. I think the fights in the episode were brutal. Especially between Jecki and Mae. I think I felt some of those kicks! And as I have examined this through a YA lens, I've tried...

could you provide examples? Because if you don't I can't do anything other than go, okay you dont' like this, you think it isn't executed well. And move on.

oh i see my google search was weak, that is correct. doesn't change my opinion that Acolyte at the very least is inspired by YA and that a lot of the complaints about it are complaints about the genre, not bad writing/acting in particular.

Luke is 19 in ANH YA age range is 18-25 And ofcourse YA is literature, not movies. I think Acolyte in particular is really influenced by YA, and I don't find it a "marketing" catagory any more than I regard pulp as a marketing category, nor Soap Opera, nor adult, nor drama, nor comedy, nor...
