I watched the first 2 Episodes last night and he's been great to so far within the Series. Theirs a moment where his new Padwan asked him why do you keep a Holo of a past Padwan you trained and he told her pretty much he can't make the same mistakes he did with her with you.

First two episodes were pretty damn good......the whole "twins Basil....twins" arc is kinda trope-ish but the action was pretty good....and the beginning was like "that Trinity from The Matrix? Holyshit it was......then she died.

Also that apothecary guy I legit thought was Ezra Miller and was ready to poo poo......but I guess I just had a racism moment.

I'm gonna assume the whole "make em male and pale" crowd doesn't like this show.

Can you move his comments here when you get time love?

The Acolyte

First Trailer comes out today. More than likely I'll be at work when it does but I'm really invested in this Show especially if they use Sith being more of the Heroes in this one.

Don't worry Deezy she's going to be seen again because some of the Shots released for the Series it's going to be in a Flashback. I agree the Action has been stellar maybe the best fighting involving Jedi in quite a long time for me. I'm glad the Twins stuff was done right off the bat imagine if they stretched that out the whole Season it would of killed the vibe for me. Surely that guy helping Mae or Jord being the Sith are the two guesses for me as the big bad but that guy is the least intimidating guy ever.

Amandla Stenberg and Lee Jung-jae have been Neck to Neck for me on who has had the best performance so far. Master Sol feels like the Jedi you would want to be train by and the way he carries himself has been great. Amandla playing two Characters and them being completely different and hitting the marks for those Characters you gotta give her the props on that.

Lol modern fan thinks people weren't racist to black actors in the past. The racists just didn't have Twitter or websites to review bomb so they weren't as loud to complain about every black casting

A pretty messed up situation for Billy Dee Williams for sure. I've never thought to take a shot or do anything like that because it's not their fault it goes to the Directors, and Writers who give the Actors those that direction. I had problems with Star Wars Acolyte Show and I never got to that point with the Show itself can't say the same for other people on Social Media.

It had zero do with the color of skin and 100 percent to do with the show sucking big donkey balls. The issue isn't that people hate females - look at Leia and Padme and any other female in the show that people loved it has to do with Rey, who was invincible and couldn't lose a fight and had zero character development and I am not saying that Lucas was the master at writing scripts (looking at you sand line). It's that the characters that have been made have sucked. I was so hoping for a new trio to lead me to places. Finn fell in love with Rey, then rose, then the horse girl he had no development. I would have been happy if he stayed with Rose as that felt at least genuine as the actress was great.

The Mandolorian has done well because the stories are different and don't taint the real lore.

Heck, why hasn't anyone crapped on Bo-Katan then because she is great and her lore is amazing. They didn't change what was already there to make a crappy character that sucked.

My argument is that racists have always hated black people in movies, it's not a new thing, they're just louder. I'm not saying anyone that doesn't like a black person's performance is racist, if you can't tell which you are that's kind of a you problem lol

I'm disputing the OP acting like people only just now have a problem with it, racists aren't new and just bc you didn't hear these complaints in the past, it means you weren't around racists so that's a good thing.

I think Disney has pretty fucked Star Wars myself, I just think the review brigadiers and people who get mad before they ever watch a show bc women and minorities are in it are losers

 

[Chris]

"People didn't complain about Lando because he was a good character" is just ignorant, racists still hated him and they would have whether the character was good or bad. There just wasn't the platform for them to broadcast it to the world, they talked about it at bars with their other racist friends

 

[Wang Chung]

Yes I can agree with that sentiment but the whole everyone is racist because they hated the Acolyte is bullshit the story sucked ass and they changed way to much of the subject material to fit what they wanted and are it worse.

Your last paragraph is absolutely 100 percent

I made it two episodes into the Acolyte

Shit was mad boring

 

[Chris]

Yeah clearly every single person that dislikes something isn't a bigot, I think bigots do hide behind that just as much as the weirdo internet people who wanna call everyone one though.

Like it's the most basic "every square is a rectangle but every rectangle isn't a square." Every racist hated Black Panther but not everyone that hated Black Panther is a racist, very hard concept for people to understand

And that is what was really frustrating with the Show because it has some really good stuff going for it at times and then I can say that positive and you would get all this flip flopping with Characters desires every second it felt like. Don't get me started with all the Canon bullshit that was talked about during the Show either

Yeah I liked Black Panther I just thought Wakanda Forever was a bore

So she's out and even though she did some good things with the role I'm happy to see the next person's vision of Star Wars for the future.
