The Acolyte - Disney Plus Star Wars Series
Thom replied to jvmacross's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I think we saw the break up of that very thing in episode 3. They clearly had a far closer relationship in the past, with their own personal rhymes and songs about them being truly two of one, but Osha clearly had had enough of not seeing herself as her own person. Wanting to join the Jedi may have just been an outgrowth of this that waned over the course of her training. And Mae was getting angry at her sister because she was starting to pull away from her, maybe because Osha noticed her sister's growing psychosis, on a deeper level than just cruelty to animals, and didn't want to be 'one' with that. -

Oh yeah, I know they don't film week to week. No one days anymore. And I'd say that being a show runner is different from writing and directing. The writer/director can filter the show runner's creation, smoothing out inconsistencies (or just bad ideas) to something that flows a lot more organically and minus strange leaps in plot. I don't know if it is because she did not write or direct this one, but is one better than the first two, where she did both with episode 1 and part in 2. -

Please, don't let Leslye Headland write any more for this show, or direct for that matter. This was definitely a better episode for that. It was nice to see what at least part of the back story is, and I'm sure we'll start to see the other side of what happened in the following episodes. Anyway, better episode this time. EDIT - checking the Wiki page, Headland is not shown in the writer/director's chair for the remainder of the episodes, so yay right there. -

Pretty meh about this. Underwhelmed for the most part. I won't quibble and say I was not watching for CAM (Carrie-Ann Moss) but I was... ...and then she was gone in under ten minutes... What an all-out waste of an actress! The one playing the green Jedi Masters should have been there and CAM should have had her role. And then there are the easy-out McGuffins. For me, this show (so far) ranks way bellow the Boba and Obi-Wan series. It has some great sets and costumes, great FX and such, but it needs better writers and directors - and to stop allowing obvious short-cuts to just to push the scenes. Was really hoping for more. -
@pengbuzz So that's what happened to Conan!? Some very good mods to that figure, Peng

Unfortunately, that looked like it was just a running series of gag jokes. Does not make me want to watch it...

I do hope we see more of Wolverine's mask in the movie than on the posters.

Sweet collection of models!

Finally watched the first season of 3 Body Problem, and it was pretty good. Very well done characters and scenes, including some really heartbreaking ones, and a compelling story. My only problem is I think they made the aliens too advanced... Maybe there'll be an explanation for it? Still, I liked it a lot and look forward to next season.

Nice homage! Definitely keeps its lineage, but with bells and whistles!

Agree in the hinges. Take another Bravo!

That.. works! Unify the paint scheme and it would look even better. And a nice up-armored VF-O! -
Is it me, or do most of his characters all have long hair and beards..?

I would like to see that one too. Though, if you have Luca's RVF-25 then you can kitbash.

About what I'd be able to do too! It's a good felling having a model getting finished. -
I'm in! Fun and adventure, what more do you need!?

I like her. Rogue One is definitely not a kid's movie! A similar approach could be said to have been done with the Harry Potter movies, as the first one is more for kids, and in that way serves as a good intro before they start getting old. I've only seen the Phantom Menace twice (if that) and it keeps getting worse every time I see it! Those are more of what you'd put on the back of a toy box. Hopefully, they'll have far more depth than that! Though that does remind me of Rebel Moon II and how the backstory of all the heroes is pretty much the same. Great Granddaddy Han is sure to make an appearance!
