Did he do that?!?!?!?!?
Also, kinda burying the lede that the Wolfman-mask alien from the ANH Cantina scene will be an actual character.
Please don’t let this suck…
Statistically speaking… it’s going to suck.
Sure. Why wait and decide for ourselves? Let’s hate it now.
I’m just doing the math.
I’m doing this new thing where I try to like things. Movies, TV shows, games, etc. I don’t always succeed and some things are very hard to like. But the alternative just leads to poisoned expectations and the death of joy.
Nah I’ve made my peace with it, I don’t let it bother me (mostly). I only posted here because I’m super bored at work. I used to be mad about the ongoing death of quality media but I now I mostly don’t even pay attention.
Urkel as Hondo confirmed
If we’re ever gonna get Hondo, this is probably it. Knowing Lucasfilm, it’ll probably be as a five-second end-of-season stinger though.
I’ve fallen out of star wars as the recent stuff has been mediocre (or Andor which was “quality television” but felt, to me out of place in a galaxy ruled by space wizards with laser swords) but damn, seeing that wolfman dude and the notion of Urkel… Well, I’m tempted!
The real problem is they are making too much stuff. I stopped getting the comics because they were horrible. I don’t know if I’m going to watch this show or not. It would be better to have one good show tell a story for two or three seasons and then move to the next one.
That would be ideal for fans but I guess Disney doesn’t view that as profit maximizing?
That’s neat, I hadn’t heard about this show. The trailer looks fun. Is it just me, or does Jaleel look rendered in this shot?
I agree the trailer looks fun. Goonies in space, plus a Jedi.
There’s just been a certain cheap and rushed quality to recent Star Wars outings, both in writing and actual production values, that has made them a lot less enjoyable than they could be. I actually kinda liked the Acolyte and hope in particular that we see Manny Jacinto again, but I can’t deny it was mostly just “kinda okay” and definitely seemed to squander its budget on cheap fake beards and fat toy lightsabers.
A breezy, fun story could handle that campy vibe a little better than ponderous end-of-galaxy stories, though. We need an infusion of charisma, too. I dunno. As always, I’m cautiously optimistic.
I’m an editor by trade, and weirdly, I think Acolyte’s main problem is editing. When I later heard that the story was supposed to be all about the Sith and was reworked by producers, it clicked. It’s cut like someone doing their best to make a story make sense after cornerstones of that story are removed. I’ve been in that position. It sucks.
“Can’t let you do that, Star Fox!”
