    While I think #TheHighRepublic saga went on too long — partially my fault for reading every. single. book. — this did manage to bring it to a satisfying and interesting conclusion.

  5. CW: #TheAcolyte season finale spoilers

    Despite much criticism, I don't think, #TheAcolyte is a bad show, but neither is it extraordinary. It has a fantastic premise of showcasing the Jedi's arrogance and self-righteousness that will eventually lead to their downfall. However, the show didn't live up to its full potential. There could have been a few more twists and turns and a bit more content overall per episode

  6. CW: #TheAcolyte episode 7 spoiler

    It's interesting, how the Jedi in #TheAcolyte, when they reach for someone else's mind, they place their fingers on this person's forehead very similar to a Vulcan mind meld from #StarTrek

  7. CW: #TheAcolyte episode 6 spoilers

    Is the "unknown planet", Osha and Qimir are on, by any chance Ahch-To? That would connect it in an interesting way to #TheLastJedi. I know, we haven't seen the little animals we've seen in episode 6 in The Last Jedi and the Porgs are missing in this episode, but a lot can happen in 1000 years.

  8. It’s always a good day when there is new Star Wars content to devour. Am I right, or am I right?

    Being sick in the springtime absolutely sucks, and last night I went from feeling like I might be getting better to feeling like I was definitely getting worse. I was exhausted after a long and stressful afternoon at work and when I tried to watch the two new episodes of the new show I found myself nodding off. That is not a review of the quality of the episodes, but a comment on the poor quality of my brain last night.

    I made it through the first episode and about half of the second when I gave up and went to sleep. This morning while doing my morning exercise silliness I started over and watched both episodes all the way through.

    My spoiler free review is that I am intrigued. I like it so far. I am looking forward to seeing what comes next. Is the dude with the red lightsaber a Sith or is he something else? Who is he? We haven’t even seen his face yet (and we saw him in the trailer so his existence is not a spoiler). Also, what did the victims of the crimes being investigated do to earn what they’ve gotten? What’s the back story? They gave us a tiny bit of motivation but there has to be a lot more.

    I’m really looking forward to seeing more of this show. I needs to know what’s going on, and I needs to see some lightsaber fighting. Use the Force, folks!

    I like that we’re seeing a period in Star Wars history that we’ve never touched on before. We saw the Jedi and the Republic in the prequels, but the wheels were already coming off the wagon by the time those stories start. This new show takes place about a century earlier, when the Jedi were at the top of their game and the Republic wasn’t a political mess yet. I want to see more.

    Okay this part is going to get a little spoilery, so if you are being cautious about such things and haven’t watched the first two episodes yet you might want to stop reading now.

    I will be as vague as I can, but there will be spoilers after this point.

    You have been warned.

    My one issue is not with the show, it’s with the fandom. I have watched some youtube videos and listened to some podcasts in prep for this. There is a book series and some comics and some other extended universe things dealing with the High Republic period, and many of the preview things I read/saw/listened to reference those stories extensively. One common thread was how the Jedi were different than they were in the prequels, and many referenced characters that we knew were crossing from books to the show.

    One frequent comment from one youtube source kept harping on how the Jedi aren’t as hung up on attachments being bad during this period. Then in the first episode there were 3-4 moments when one Jedi says to another, what’s up with you being so attached to this person/place/thing. Don’t you know that’s bad and will lead to problems? Heh. I guess they are has hung up on attachments after all, eh? Another talked about how one character was this amazing warrior and how we were all going to love getting to see that character do some kick ass Jedi-Fu and how awesome it would be… then six minutes into episode one that character is gone. HA! I guess we won’t be getting much excitement watching that particular Jedi kick ass, eh?

    My point being is that expectations are silly. It’s a new show, a new time period, and I don’t care how many novels or comics you’ve read, it’s a new setting and new characters. Unfortunately there will now be a significant chunk of what is already a super toxic, asshole fanbase who are going to HATE this show because it isn’t exactly what they expected after reading the books. That sucks, but we all know it’s going to happen. My hope is that I can avoid such negativity and just enjoy the show for what it is. Something 100% brand spanking new.

    Can’t wait to get episode three next week. Bring it on, Disney+.

  9. Where are my #StarWars fedi friends at?? I feel like I need to follow more of you nerds.

    As a fan of both The High Republic *and* fresh Star Wars stories, I’m stoked about The Acolyte. I’ve been thoroughly enjoying The Bad Batch (but haven’t seen today’s yet, no spoilers!). I enjoyed Ahsoka and am looking forward to whatever is next in the Filoni/Mandoverse era.

    Replies and boosts appreciated so I can connect with you folks.
