Spoilers Star Wars: The Acolyte [Spoilers]

[Kaodi]

The Jedi are not really a massive organization. There were something like ten thousand Jedi knights for a galaxy with trillions of citizens (or is that quadrillions)? By comparison New York City has about 36,000 police offers for a population of 9 million. So, relatively speaking, the NYPD has 1 million to 1 billion times as much manpower as the Jedi before their fall.

LEAH oh wow lol. Incredible. Classic novelization stuff.

Luke joins Blue Squadron. The Millennium Falcon has port and starboard turrets rather than dorsal and ventral.

Honestly I'd rather have another season of The Acolyte than Ahsoka - unless the next season of Ahsoka has lots more Hayden and Arianna Greenblatt, and/or they let Rosario Dawson be something other than stoic.

I would take another season of The Acolyte over another season of Andor.

Also, somehow basically everyone who knew much about SW knew about the Sith and they featured a ton in the pre-PT EU. I presume this is because of stuff like the 1976 novelization of SW, which mentioned them (and it presumably got them from earlier drafts of the SW script). And yes that's not a typo, it was released before A New Hope! And in the 1990s they were huge in the SW comics.

I read the paperback version of the novelization in the summer of 1977, before I had a chance to see the movie. I remember there were differences, of course. The one I still remember is Luke having actual conversations on Tatooine with his friends before they left to join the Rebels. And I think there was a scene where he was using those binocular things of his to watch the battle between Leia's ship and the star destroyer chasing it. Or he could see the laser fire, but that was it? And nobody believed him. I don't remember mention of Sith in the book, but I do remember discussions with other people, and in sci-fi magazines, on what Darth meant and if "Dark Sith" was what it was short for.

I liked the Acolytes first two episodes over Andor. Best debut since Mando imho.

And then it went down hill with one exception (episode 5).

I just rewatched the final episode of Ashoka while exercising. I would like a second season if only to see if Filoni finally wraps up the whole Ahsoka/Daughter mystery.

A 2nd season for Ahsoka has already been confirmed.

Same. See what I mean about episode length and look though?

Ahsoka looks really good imho.

I'm aware of that. I'm just saying that I would dearly like a resolution to Ahsoka's story as it pertains to the Daughter.

Like the fact that when we see Baylan standing on the outstretched arm of the Father's giant mountainside carving and then the camera pans back to reveal a carving of the Son on one side and the crumbled remains of a carving of the Daughter on the other side ... surely that's gotta mean something, right?!

Part of me likes to think that maybe the Daughter's carving crumbled when the Daughter gave up her life to save Ahsoka's.

Ahsoka looks really good imho.

Yes, it looks gorgeous, and it has some really nice moments. That final episode on its own is decent. But the whole thing could have been so much better!

Ever since the Mortis episodes, it feels like Filoni's been trying to build up to something big vis-a-vis Ahsoka and the Daughter and the light side of the Force. But this first season of Ahsoka's own show did nothing to further that feeling until right at the very end, when Ahsoka said she was right where she needed to be, which was followed by her seeing Morai ... which was right around the same moment that the carvings of the Mortis gods was revealed as well.

Does Ahsoka have the Daughter's spirit within her? Or is Morai a manifestation of the Daughter's spirit? Is Ahsoka a vessel to bring the Daughter to Peridea to stop Baylan from unleashing the Mother (or what/whoever is at that flashing beacon)?

I mean, yeah, I want to see Hera and Ezra go up against Thrawn and his legions of undead stormtroopers, but I also want Filoni to resolve the whole Mortis thing that he's been dancing around with Ahsoka for the past 13 years.

Yeah I like long term storytelling but yeah it's been a while. They went there in Legends (wasn't very good).

On rrwatch I though Ahdoka was really good first few episodes declining later.

Ahsoka wasn't in 1 episode iirc, Thrawn was underwhelming . Comparatively to most Disney live action it's great. I liked where it was going but probably should have resolved Thrawn by episode 4 and had him crush a NR something episode 8 ( rhe Empire Strikes Back ).
