Skeleton Crew's first two episodes have been a decent start to a kids adventure series.
I like how the characters are essentially in-universe Star Wars fans, making them relatable. They've struck a good balance of new content with nostalgia to make it grounded in Star Wars.
The most iconic movie line of all time.
RIP James Earl Jones.
Star Wars fans will forever be in your debt.
James Earl Jones made Darth Vader the most iconic movie villain of all time.
His vocal depth gave Vader his most distinctive feature. His charisma, skill & breadth of acting added emotional weight that made Vader so menacing.
RIP, James. Star Wars fans will always remember you.
I welcome and celebrate diversity in Star Wars.
But diversity alone should never be a reason to claim a terrible show is good, nor should it ever be a basis to criticise it.
The Acolyte's inclusive casting did not make it a good show, nor was it the cause of it being awful.
Let's be clear on The Acolyte's cancellation.
Just because some incels and racists now claim victory does not mean that the show was cancelled due to their bigoted criticisms.
It was cancelled because it was a terrible show.
That's it.
The Acolyte's cancellation is a indictment of Disney's failure to maintain quality Star Wars content.
There's no excuse for delivering a show that poorly written. They had a massive budget and an open canvas to create something original and spectacular.
It's an insult to fans.
Diego Luna on Andor Season 2:
"It's going to make you witness the journey of Rogue One in a different way."
I love this! Rogue One made us experience A New Hope in a different way. Now Andor will make us experience Rogue One in a different way. This is how prequels add value.
Why do Disney hold huge private trailer screenings when they know they'll inevitably be leaked?
What a pity that Andor S.2 and The Mandalorian & Grogu trailers will be viewed by millions of fans through poor quality second hand phone footage.
Just release the damn trailers.
I'm totally comfortable with Star Wars content that's just made for kids, but Earth-like 80s suburbs and dogs in the Star Wars universe? Oh and yet another Jedi that miraculously survived Order 66?
Sheesh. Disney has literally given up.
Get ready for a brand new Star Wars adventure.
Watch the trailer for Skeleton Crew, streaming with a two-episode series premiere December 3 on @DisneyPlus.
Disney thinks this title is so simple and descriptive that it's cute and quaint, but it's actually just astonishingly lazy and clashes with 'The Mandalorian' series title.
A movie title should be symbolic and evocative of its purpose and themes.
I just finished The Acolyte. Yet more Disney garbage where you have to be brain dead for the plot to make any sense. Weak characters. Horrific pacing. Poor world-building.
I utterly despair at Disney's total inability to exert quality control over Star Wars despite huge budgets.
Seeing Plagueis in episode 8 was briefly exciting and well produced. Then I realised what a massive shame it is that his live-action reveal - as one of the characters with most fan curiosity since first mentioned in ROTS in 2005 - is encased by this otherwise awful series.
"This isn't about good or bad. This is about power. And who is allowed to use it".
'Star Wars: The Acolyte' - an eight episode TV series set during the High Republic era - premieres on Disney+ on On June 4 this year!
Watch the trailer now!
