Topic: Star Wars: The Acolyte (Disney+)

Sayang bagay si Carrie Ann Moss as a Jedi. I think if you are a true master Jedi you won't be able to be duped by any assassin lest an amateur one at that. Weird.

This is more action packed with Jedi action than any Star Wars franchise so far. Looking good to me. Looking forward to the next episodes.

This is getting a lot of hate. But I'd take this over that Boba Fett series any day. That was such a character assasination of Boba.

Yup, gusto ko rin ito, very action-packed, medyo bitin lang at 30 minutes per episode

I’m not a hardcore SW fan and I can’t understand the hate this series is getting. It’s entertaining for me and you’re correct, it’s better than Boba Fett.

Because of the Woke culture this show is promoting. Woke directors, writers and characters. I hate Woke culture. But I don't care, still liking this show.

The one thing I hate though is ginawa nila very easy to beat the Jedi. Nawala na tuloy yung mystique and power of being a jedi.

Poor casting. Mediocre acting. Poor script writing. No real charismatic castmember to root for, unlike the original Star Wars.

Si manny jacinto pala from The Good Place yung asian guy dito. Good for him!

[jjjeronimo]

Look for the reviews by The Critical Drinker.  Laugh trip!  lol

Woke POS.

Habang tumatagal nagiging ka-level na nito yung Boba Fett ah! The last episode was the worst. The Jedi's were un-Jedi like, No clear protagonist, And a lot of things not making any sense. The ffirst few Episodes medyo ok pako kay Sol. I thought he was the best in the series. But now, he's turning out to be a dud.

[thebat]

Overwhelming na negative reviews dito sa series na to, tsk.

yung last 2 episodes parang tinamad na din ako hehe. tama nga si t-bone.

Writing and pacing are really off. Sayang. When they first announced what the series was about, it was intriguing for me. Not familiar with any of the stories/novels on the High Republic. Now I just want to know how it will end. One episode to go - maybe for good. No more second season, most likely.

Very much open ended, They are obviously planning for the series to continue with a Season 2 and did not foresee all the negative backlash. Hmmm....

I'm not sure even the cameos in the finale can save this series. No early announcement that Disney is picking up the series for another season. It's probably not confident in the show's potential given the low viewership. But I am still intrigued and want to know more about the rise of the Sith

[halvert]

It was good until the clumsy last 2 episodes. Too bad for manny jacinto and his biggest break yet. Natatawa lang ako na kamukha nya si james yap

$180,000,000.00 (P10 Billion) spent and low viewership = No Season 2

[Tha_Mann]

I'm intrigued what will happen to Osha pa naman. meron ba reference sa kanya sa mga Star Wars movies?

also, not sure kung nakita nyo na, may movie Amandla Stenberg na may frontal exposure hehe sexy din eh.

[thebat]

This I think is an anti Jedi series. This painted the Jedis as inept, weak and prone to various mistakes.

‘The Acolyte’ Canceled: No Season 2 For Disney+’s ‘Star Wars’ Series

The story of The Acolyte will not continue, with Lucasfilm opting not to proceed with a second season of the Star Wars offshoot starring Amandla Stenberg, sources tell Deadline.

Word of the decision comes more than a month after the eight-episode first season of the series from creator, director, executive producer and showrunner Lesley Headland wrapped its run on Disney+.

The news is not entirely surprising. The Acolyte did OK with critics, with 78% on Rotten Tomatoes, but divided Star Wars fans, which was reflected in its overall viewership.

^  Not surprised. Too bad lang nga for Manny Jacinto, since this show was supposed to be a big break for him.
