please be like Andor please be like Andor please be like Andor
Andor was great because disney didnt oversee the production. The Gilroy bros were allowed to just make. They filmed in real locations. Had actual characters with personalities. The bad guys seemed like a threat and not just bland targets.
When disney oversees production the entire set is CGI (“the volume”). All the characters are very bland and vanilla to appeal to the most amount of people. Antagonist are narrow and usually a joke in terms of a threat.
I haven’t really looked into this series and how much disney is forcing the hand of the director.
That, and it was a good story set in the Star Wars universe rather than a Star Wars story where entire universe is the same 3 characters and their friends - every. goddamn. time.
Creating new characters is just sooo hard in an entire universe. /s
Except don’t get cut off from a full five season run because of a global pandemic.
Wait, Andor was originally suppose to be five seasons??
Yep.
:(
D:
This is news to me, too.
No way Andor could maintain that level of quality for 5 seasons. I’m fine with two of (hopefully) the best seasons of television I’ve ever seen.
Please don’t be bad. All I have ever wanted is Star wars to delve into all of their rich lore. That isn’t surrounding that like 60 year Skywalker period. We are forced to consume. Please don’t fuck this up disney.
You want another story set in Mos Eisley, got it
We want more of grandpa wookie watching porn in the living room on lifeday, Disney. The people have spoken!
I wouldnt mind a cocaine fueled acid trip in a space scifi again.
Grandpa wookie is the most badass character in starwars. “the space nazis are trashing my apartment looking for my renegade son. I should put on some porn in the living room”
Starwars was at its absolute zenith with the holiday special.
Sort of agree. A whole universe to play in and we have to follow the same characters all the time.
My trust in Filoni and Favreau is absolute. those motherfuckers can do no wrong!
This series is some SWEU adaptation, and deals with (among other things) the rise of Palpy and related characters. It’s supposed to take place outside the timeline of The Skywalker Saga (finally!)
premise from wikipedia:
The Acolyte is set at the end of the High Republic era in a world of “shadowy secrets and emerging dark side powers”,[1] approximately 100 years before Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace (1999).[2] A former Padawan reunites with her Jedi Master to investigate a series of crimes, but the forces they confront are more sinister than they ever anticipated.
Is this edgy true detective start wars?
I thought that was Andor?
More of that would be welcome, TBH
Don’t get me wrong I loved Andor.
And I want And-more.
That was the wire start wars
When does end wars?
1980
The force is a flat circle?
I need a southern gothic style Star Wars bayou murder mystery with a creepy secret cult lurking in the shadows, yes please
I would also just take a short film of Rust Cohle in Jedi robes monologuing about the Force a la Darth Kreia
Night Country is a low bar to cear at least.

… blood-magic-saber … nice.
But that implies the existence of other bodily fluids sabres.
Ah yes, anal discharge saber, wielded by Dy Aree-ah.
Dyrth Arre-ah
The upgraded version is called the ‘santorum-saber’.
Cum sabre. An elegant weapon for an enlightened age.
…they called it ‘semen’ in the high republic…
Can you get someone pregnant with that? Should you wear a condom around it or just raw-dog it in battle?
Also, those aren’t sparks that fly off of it.
You know what we’re all thinking…
Snot Saber
But spinal-tap-saber would be pretty metal.
How could it not be? It goes up to 11!
Sticky yet cutty.
Sounds like a perfect blade for Grogu
If you’re the star wars fan that knows whose saber hilt that is, would you respond to this comment so I can know without having to come back?
I’m gonna go out on a limb and say… The acolyte?
I mean that’s fair
Doesn’t look like a hilt from an actual character from any of the movies.
I thought it might be Palp’s at first but upon further inspection I think you’re right
This is set 100 years before the fall of the Republic during the High Republic Era when Jedi were at the height of their power.
It’s from before any of the movies (100 years apparently) so it’s probably not a lightsaber we’ve seen before.
Not definitely, but it’s less likely.
Also probably no characters we know.
Though there’s some characters that were alive back then, most notably Yoda and Chewbacca.
So it’s not impossible…
Edit: oh and 8 Huyang, the lightsaber-building instructor…
Darkness is eternal and was always there first. Light is an anomaly.
Anime or real person?
I believe the 2nd
Ooo, I am very excited to get an impression of this show! refreshing in anticipation intensifies

Is it another playdoh looking 3d animation? I can’t stand the Clone Wars/Rebels art styles.
