Popular Post Jay 37,369 Posted March 18 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 18 In The Acolyte, an investigation into a shocking crime spree pits a respected Jedi Master (Lee Jung-jae) against a dangerous warrior from his past (Amandla Stenberg). As more clues emerge, they travel down a dark path where sinister forces reveal all is not what it seems…. The series stars Amandla Stenberg, Lee Jung-jae, Manny Jacinto, Dafne Keen, Charlie Barnett, Jodie Turner-Smith, Rebecca Henderson, Dean-Charles Chapman, Joonas Suotamo, and Carrie-Anne Moss. The Acolyte comes from creator and showrunner Leslye Headland (Russian Doll), who also serves as executive producer alongside Kathleen Kennedy, Simon Emanuel, Jeff F. King, and Jason Micallef. Charmaine DeGraté and Kor Adana are the co-executive producers; Rayne Roberts, Damian Anderson, Rob Bredow, and Eileen Shim are producing. https://www.starwars.com/news/the-acolyte-teaser-poster Bayesian, Brando and enderdrag64 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mstrox 6,651 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 What contradicts the movies in Obi-Wan? Btw, The Sith were never extinct - they were always surviving two by two until Palpatine’s age. You can posit that, for instance, they were having similar machinations to what you see in canon media between 1-6 - Sith killing Sith to become “the master,” non-Sith darksiders squabbling for a position like Ventress, non-Sith insiders working for the cause like the inquisitors. You could also have them leave no surviving witness. But a dark side user doesn’t have to be a member of the Sith cult to be a jerk to some Jedi.

Or was it the other way round? I don't remember. But this made everything random and senseless and bullshit. The tragedy (such as it is) of Anakin Skywalker is that he is misled into thinking that he is powerless unless he makes these society destroying choices. And then he is still powerless. Which IMHO is a contradiction of the OT by turning Darth Vader from a bold and malevolent leader to a weak and easily duped follower. Perhaps the tragedy is that he could have done exactly what Rey did if he never followed the obviously suspect teachings of a corrupt Sith Lord / Chancellor of the Republic. The tragedy is that while The Rise of Skywalker is a fun and momentarily enjoyable film it's still monumentally stupid even on the sliding scale of a Star Wars movie. At no point do I watch this film and say "Well. I just don't care about Darth Vader at all anymore!" As for some sort of Sith thing in The Acolyte: This is hundreds of years in the past. (Right?) The Jedi Order in the PT lost a planet and somehow accidentally ordered a clone army. Maybe they forgot about a Sith encounter here and there over the millennia. 16 minutes ago, mstrox said: That didn’t strike me as a conflict - the actual line was “I was but a learner,” a little more vague and perfect for a Star Wars “certain point of view” approach.

Tallguy 3,398 Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 This IS the Luke Skywalker who, if the Empire hadn't messed up HIS little corner of the universe, would have left the Princess rotting in her cell, yes? This IS the Luke Skywalker who, when confronted with Darth Vader and the possible truth of his parentage (and losing a hand) decided that it was better to TAKE HIS OWN LIFE and then wound up saved by luck, yes? Jedi, Jedi, Jedi... The two Jedi I knew of from George Lucas' Star Wars when the Empire was on the rise WENT AND HID at the ends of the galaxy for 20 years.

JTN 2,031 Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 No, that is Jake Skywalker. THIS is Luke Skywalker: 20 minutes ago, Tallguy said: decided that it was better to TAKE HIS OWN LIFE That was one of the bravest acts I’ve ever seen in a film. Willing to sacrifice your own life rather than being taken as a prisoner before your enemy to be used against your friends and allies is what a true martyr does. He wouldn’t give into Vader and be a pawn of the Emperor when he wasn’t ready yet. But in RotJ a wiser and stronger Luke DOES confront Vader and lets him capture him and take him to the Emperor, because then he was ready, or more ready, and because Yoda told him that he needed to face Vader in order to become a Jedi. So Luke did that. And he saved his father from the Dark Side by not wanting to fight and kill his father, and thus making his father realize how much his son means to him when the Emperor was about to kill him. What a beautiful character arch, both for Luke and Vader/Anakin. And the “sequels” destroyed all of it by “somehow” bringing Palpatine back.

A Skywalker running away / doing a galaxy changing act just because of a premonition of some kind? He's removing himself from the situation by "hiding". Again, not something I agree with, but not out of character for a person we saw three times and was WILDLY different each time - Return of the Jedi Luke is a totally different character from even The Empire Strikes Back. It works really well if you accept that Luke really does have delusions of grandeur. I've sung this song before, but JJ had no idea why Luke was hiding. And Rian came up with something that was at least interesting. (And gave Hamill something to perform to!) And also pretty Star Wars-y. (A Jedi master hiding out and being hunted by all sides because something has gone wrong in the Galaxy? Forsooth, you say!) The really bad part of all of it is that if you're going to bring back The Original Cast then actually put them in a SCENE together. Of course, that's something that Return of the Jedi or even The Empire Strikes Back didn't do very well either. JJ and Rian didn't do it at ALL. JJ closed the door when he (and Ford) killed Han.

Popular Post Edmilson 7,466 Posted March 22 Popular Post Share Posted March 22 Honestly, out of every Disney SW movie/TV show/etc., TLJ is the one I really like. Mostly because I saw it with a pretty nice group of friends on opening weekend and it was a blast. I enjoyed the movie, my best friend didn't care about it (he tends to prefer Dark side characters and c'mon, Kylo Ren only brought shame and embarrassment to every Star Wars villain ever) and our other two friends thought it was okay. Very fun day. We spent the next few weeks trading Star Wars memes on WhatsApp, which was how I got in touch with the utter masterpiece that is Backstroke of the West. Sure, TLJ has its flaws but due to fond personal memories I tend to overlook them. Mr. Hooper, Tallguy and Yavar Moradi 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
