Hmm, I might need to see proof of that.

I don't think that's from a movie. Maybe from the Clone Wars cartoon? I haven't found it yet.

edit: a 10 year old reddit comment suggest it's from the Revenge of the Sith novelization

I am 99% certain that is not from Empire. I do believe that sounds like it came from Sith.

not familiar at all with anything involving the books....

but pretty familiar with every piece of dialogue from the films and that doesn't resonate at all....i would've assumed it was from clone wars cartoons or the clone wars movie but that's just a guess....

and that's odd because there's other quotes of his you could've used for that graphic...

this one jumps to mind from Revenge of the Sith: "Learn to let go of everything you fear to lose."

I haven't watched it yet but this is funny that someone took the time to put this together.

I'd swap Rogue One and the prequels.

Is it that bad?

My personal opinion…

Episodes 1 and 2 are ok. Not great, not terrible, just alright. It had the feeling that stylistically the fights were going to be Kung Fu-ish.

Episodes 3 and 4 are really bad. Episode 3, everything else aside, is just boring. Episode 4 is also boring save for the last 30 seconds.

Additionally, the show has a very cheap look to it. Like it belongs on the B-side of a CW lineup and not Star Wars.

Honestly I'd put Andor on top. It's a masterpiece.

Eh, it's not apples to oranges putting The Acolyte up against the actual movies. That meme would be more accurate, imo, to only have the TV shows. In which case it would be

Andor
Mandalorian
Ahsoka
Obi-Wan
4 Episodes of The Acolyte
Book of Boba Fett

Honestly, I'm not sure, yet that I would put Obi-Wan above it

There is no possible way you could think BoBF is worse than what we have gotten so far from the Acolyte. No way at all. I get not liking it, although I did, but come on. The first episode with Mando and the Luke Skywalker episode alone put it out of reach of the absolute mess that is the Acolyte.

Well, I've only seen half of the Acolyte and all of Boba Fett and it sucked. Think about what you just said. Using Luke/Mando in the middle of that would be like this show suddenly giving us and episode or two of Yoda doing cool Jedi stuff somewhere else.

Boba Fett was not a good show, and I am least somewhat interested in what is happening in the Acolyte

Book of Boba Fett was pretty god-awful.

I know spinning before taking a shot always improves my accuracy. I don't see why you have a problem with this.

Nah, this is revisionist history. BoBF wasn't ultimately what people people wanted from it, but the only parts of it that were objectively bad were the parts with the cyberpunks, which was only in 2 episodes. Even aside from the Mando/Luke epsiodes, all the other episodes were clearly better than anything we have seen thus far in the Acolyte. The second episode with the train-heist was a legitimately good episode. And we got a wookie that actually fought and didn't die off screen.

I can get why people didn't like it, but everything about it's writing, directing, cinematography, etc. was clearly head and shoulders about the Acolyte. And that's not even saying it was a good show. It's just an indication of how bad the Acolyte is.

To me it's revisionist history to pretend Book of Boba Fett had any sort of good cinematography.

That show is the ultimate example of a cheap Disney+ looking show. Obvious sets, mediocre CGI, shooting in some random hills of Southern California...just bad.

And let's not even talk about the Power Rangers gang.

It's not though. This show looks considerably better. (Still not great, but much better.)

Although the forest in episode 4 looked pretty bad.

BoBF was terrible until Mando showed up.

The only fairly redeeming parts of BoBF were Mando and the rancor rampaging at the end. I wanted to like it, but it was pretty bad.

what really stung about BoBF....in case y'all dont remember....was it came off the heels of arguably one of the best experiences still that disney + has given us for star wars.....I'm sure how i'd rank the last episode of S2 of mandalorian compared to a lot of Andor, but needless to say we were given S1 and S2 of Mandalorian with a really kick butt intro to Boba Fett being back.....and we were hyped as hell for the next show.....

Then we get the first 2 episodes with the weird flashbacks to real time back and forth crap and not really getting where the show is going......then we get episode 3....the vespa chase.....

And that's when we all got hit with the thought of, "dangit.....this sucks...this really really sucks."

I am not revising history to say that Book of Boba Fett sucked. I said it sucked when it was airing, and I still think it sucks. So, I don't know what you're talking about.
Red Five

I'm saying if you think it was anywhere near as bad as the turd that is currently airing, then you don't remember what you watched.

I can tell you I remember just fine. I hated BoBF. I don't hate this show, yet. It's it good? Not really, but I don't hate it.

You might have an argument that its on par with The Acolyte, but head and shoulders above? Nope.

They all look like sh** compared to Andor. Even Mando is just ok, relatively. I don't think I'll waste my time on Acolyte based on what I've read on this thread and based on Obi Wan, Boba Fett, and Ahsoka. Skeleton Crew may have potential, but I'll see how the reviews are first. Any goodwill I had towards these series is pretty much gone. Just bring me Andor season 2!

For the record, *if* Skeleton Crew is still set for December, I don't see how this would be possible. Unless all of Skeleton Crew is dumped at once, binge style, in, say, early-ish December, then season two of Andor comes out in February or so. That said, as of now we know that Daredevil: Born Again is coming in March, and that Disney+ almost never overlaps Star Wars and Disney, so I still think it's going to be something like...

December to February = Skeleton Crew (8 episodes)
March to May = Daredevil: Born Again (9 episodes)
June to August = Andor (12 episodes)
