TC, how would you feel about both you and I becoming Cliff Booth for the duration of Andor and just maybe 30-40 posts a day about how bad it is?

In.

(As long as we can have another, secret thread where we actually praise the show, because I can't do Gilroy completely dirty like that.)

Not to go all Redstone, but I've actually had a bootleg copy for months now, from back when it first leaked at one of those conventions, I can't remember which. That said, that one cuts off/doesn't show the whole thing, whereas this one does. So this one is either the same recording, and plays all the way through now, or it's a brand new bootleg leak (though it's the same trailer for sure). Either way, yeah, it's incredible. Not a ton of dialogue, but there are so many incredible shots, multiple new characters, and it really does feel bigger than last season.

I'm guessing/hoping we get the official release at D23 in August.

Can someone give me the cliffs notes on The Acolyte? I haven't started it yet.

Are people complaining for dumb reasons or is it actually terrible?
How does it compare to other SW series?

What is it about your psychological makeup, to where if you're not goading me, you always have to be taking cheap shots at someone. I just find it impossible to believe you're this unaware of how relentlessly, disturbingly obsessive you come across to multiple posters on this board. It's like you literally cannot help yourself.

Give it a ****ing rest, dude.

+1. Anyone want to share a non-spoiler take on whether they'd recommend Acolyte and how it compares to other Star Wars shows?
Thanks and gig'em

I think the story has potential (story, not script). IMO, the execution has been very bad. Acting, dialogue, sets, costumes - all bad.

The "woke" complaints are idiotic as they normally are.

My opinion after 4 episodes is "wasted potential." Maybe there is a version of the story that is a lot smoother and someone said "That's gonna be way too long, it has to fit in 8 short episodes." IDK

If you have 3 or 4 days to spare, Cliff Booth can tell you all about it.

So far….after BACKING OUT the opening and closing credits we've had approximately 2 hours and 10 minutes of "story."

There's been 3Jedi killed that we knew absolutely nothing about….one of them theWooki Jedi who we didn't get to see do anything cool and was killed off screen….

And 2 fights….+1 bug zapper kill….

All else has been filler dialogue and confusing and horribly acted flashbacks…..

It's not good…..

It's not great. Pacing is terrible. Dialogue is meh. Characters do seemingly dumb things to advance plot. The musical number in episode 3 was incredibly cringe. In all honesty it's probably somewhere around BoBF or Kenobi and on track to be lower, but we'll have to see the last half first.

(For the record, MyTimeToShineHello is a grifter POS who somehow garners a large viewership, despite this particular "scoop," and so many of his others, having been debunked countless times.)

How do you watch Star Wars media?

Not literally. Do you watch because you love the universe? Do you watch for great writing? Do you watch for fun?

After finishing Andor for the first time a couple of weeks ago, I just finished Ahsoka for the first time. Not the best, but certainly not the worst.

That sentiment was prevalent in the first reviews on this board.

I was the biggest Star Wars nerd as a kid, and that sustained me through some pretty dreadful movies and shows, but there have been so many misses lately that I'm wary of Star Wars now. I enjoy compelling stories. And when they seem to mail it in on the storytelling, that's just so disappointing.

Good point. If they can get the Luke element right (meaning they're finally able to overcome the uncanny valley by 90% or so), that movie will be massive. And by all indications, that's why they're apparently shooting this summer, so incredibly early (two years before it hits theaters), so that they have the time in post to bridge that gap.

Maybe Sebastian Stan as Luke?
Should have done this (or another actor that looks vaguely like him that is a good actor) long ago.
CGI/deep fakes/de-aging don't work for me. If you want to tell a story with Luke, Han, Leia, or anyone from the original trilogies, just re-cast them with godod actors.

Pretty fair take. I thought the end of ep 4 gave me something intriguing, but the pacing overall has been really off.
