The Acolyte from Leslye Headland

[Comicbookguy339]

Same way they claim to own Norse mythology. They view as property of "white culture". The latch onto Tolkien saying it was for mythology for england, so it MUST be white. And let me tell you, claiming Norse mythology while being as hateful over lqbtq content is a REAL head scratcher.

Same thing happened with The Witcher. As a white European I can say that you guys in America merely adopted the racism. We were born in it, molded by it. We're the OG racists. So when you have stories that originate in Europe getting adapted into another medium, you also have to deal with the OG racists.

While I'm still interested in the show, I didn't much care for the trailer. Despite using practical sets, everything looked cramped and on a budget. At least 80% of the shots were medium shots from the waist up, there just wasn't enough variety or visual flourishes. The action in general looked flat and kinda hokey (telekinesis is hard to make look cool). I think I might also be burnt out on the Jedi in general. Lucas made them stodgy in the prequels and Filoni/Favreau continued that trend in Mando & Ahsoka. I was hoping the murder mystery angle would spice things up but it just looks like more of the PT with hamfisted dialogue.

I'll still give it a shot (I somehow managed to make it through 7 episodes of Ahsoka), but I'm definitely less hyped for it after the trailer. The thing I'm most curious about is Michael Abel's score. Will it be like Mando (Conti/Morricone flavored) or perhaps harken back to William's space opera sound?

Star Wars' Next TV Show Will "Find The Humanity" Within The Sith

A Sith's eye view.

Speaking in the latest issue of Empire Magazine, The Acolyte showrunner Leslye Headland revealed she'll be following her traditional approach - in focusing on the villains. "I was driven to write a story that essential was from the perspective of the bad guys," she confirmed. "I write that way my other work. I am always attracted to amoral - or immoral - characters, and finding the humanity within the villains.

Obviously, I have no idea how this series is going to turn out, but I don't know how anyone couldn't be excited about the cast and the prospect of exploring a new era of Star Wars at least. Worst case scenario there's a few hours of John Diggle Jr., Trinity, X-23 and Player 456 doing Jedi stuff.

Yaddle is alive and well. She actually showed up in Phase 2 High Republic books, about 300 years before this show.

Been watching Trek Strange New World and for some reason, I think Carol Kane would be excellent as Yaddle. There’s just something about her voice that has me think of Yaddle.

It’s different from Yoda, but it already is. But, to me, it keeps the same overall spirit that Frank Oz gave to Yoda.

Just out right revealing the Sith Master, huh.

Spoiler

Getting Tenebrous fans a little too excited, imo

Why wouldn't they just keep using Bryce Dallas Howard?

They likely will. I just prefer a voice that sounds more akin to Yoda. Carol Kane has a much more distinct voice in the same kind of way.

[Cap2024]

Really excited.

 

[Sithborg]

Part of me kind of wishes they hid the Sith Master more, but at least they are in armor. Cool looking armor.

And Verne speaks!!! Now, break out the lightwhip.

This looks great, can't wait

ehh… was looking forward since December 2020 the most along with Andor (which turned out to be great)
But I don’t feel it yet. I was expecting this to show only the Sith perspective and look a bit more different and ancient - this looks like it could be straight out of the Mandoverse.

 

[Weather Witch]

Look great! They've really invested in this one and I hope it pays off. Pre-production costs for this show alone are half of Ahsoka's estimated budget. Fingers crossed Dave Filoni gets a bit more money for season 2.

Really hope this is good enough to silence the YouTube grifters. I'd love to get multiple seasons and dive deeper in the High Republic era.

I hope the cliffhanger isn’t like this:
Some protagonist asks a unknown Naboo boy: what’s your name
unkown Naboo boy: Sheev

 

[Sithborg]

30-40 years before Palpatine was born. So, not happening. And given that Headlund apparently has plans for more seasons, doubt you will get a time jump teaser.

I mean, if she was that concerned about cameos, the Wookiee Jedi would be someone else, not a new creation. Given how much of a Star Wars nerd she is, you are more likely to see Tenebrous or Plaguis than Palpatine.

Though it is possible a Sith prophecy may be referenced.

Would love to see Plagues here. That story from Sheev is one of the best parts of ROTS.

 

[Cap2024]

I might be completely lost and I can't find anything on google - Vernestra was in Phantom Menace? Where?
