    Even with its problems I'm not hating it (yet) like I did with Ahsoka, Boba Fett and Kenobi. Those shows were sequels to better shows made before them and had really good trailers that lied to you. This show's trailer warned everyone to lower their expectations. So far that's working me. The Acolyte looks cheap, has wooden acting and writing is too simplistic but I'm not that mad at it because they didn't over hype the show.

    Other than the wooden acting, cheap looking production values, and juvenile script I'm okay with this show.

    Ordered Alpine. Now He, Bazooka and Quickkick can have their love triangle.

    Each book the miniseries is based on took place in a new time period, new location and new characters. If a second season took place with the surviving characters from season one, I could see them using the Siege of Osaka.

    What did I just watch? Kid friendly designs bouncing around doing physical comedy. I understand that's for the really young kids but who is the humor for? Adult fans? Nope to them Transformers is serious business. For the little kids parents how have to take them to see this? Cringe dialog like that is going to make their experience better. Doesn't matter what the Transformers say kids will enjoy the bouncing robots. Car Keys the Movie.

    I had this! Got it at my grade school's book fair. Thought it was a knock off. Might have one broken part of it somewhere still.

    This show is really good. Last episode our English man was hardly in it. Majority of it focused on the Japanese cast and they got all the juicy dramatic scenes.

    Only place they could take his story is somewhere really dark. Kill off baby Yoda and goes off of a murderous revenge killing spree. Using all of his suits weapon inventive ways. But I don't think Disney would do that.

    Guessing the entire movie is just them in nut house the entire time while having delusions.

    Eel and Snow Serpent looks the same as the earlier release to me.

    Pretty sure there's review-bombing going on. Actual opinion among fans and casual public is likely an even split down the middle. If you seek opinion videos and articles about this show post trailer, you'll see many are focusing on a certain narrative. One that if I mentioned here would be political sounding. Which is something we try to avoid bringing to our forums. There's a large chunk of the population who doesn't care about Star Wars but if you inform them about it and frame your complaint around this touchy topic all these people will mobilize.

    In general, I'm not the keen on Jedi stories. I thought one of the lessons from the original trilogy and the prequels was that the way of the Jedi was wrong. Kenobi and Yoda didn't look back at the past with fondness but with regret. If only we weren't so set in our ways... that sort of thing. I think the cartoon and the fans themselves made the Jedi way as something to be idolized. When I see this trailer, I just see more boring Jedi and their misguided ways. I might have thought Ashoka and Kenobi were pretty lack luster, but I know fans of the cartoon Jedi went going crazy for it. I don't expect greatness for this show. I'm not the intended audience. Many of these Disney shows aren't spinoffs of the movies. They're spinoffs of Filoni's cartoons. If it this show is mediocre that's fine. Maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised by a thing or two.

    I thought the same damn thing! If you have zero idea what Robotech is, and you saw that cover at the comic bookstore what else can you conclude?

    Disney certainly has the money to buy all of Macross but it really isn't worth it. As a streaming service, they need fresh content that doesn't cost much to acquire. Delta the last series came out what 8 years ago? The rights to stream Macross can't be that much. Bet they got it at a discount bundled together with other series. Outside of Japan only the most informed anime fan knows about Macross. I doubt that the streaming numbers Disney get from it is going make them buy all rights and make that live action Robotech movie we've all been waiting for.

    Crush? No, not a crush. More like she stole my heart. Like literally she shop lifted it

    This gets big groans from me all the time. They got force users dressing up like either the Jedi or the Sith with lightsabers and they live by the code of these orders. Everything about them screams another Jedi or Sith who shouldn't be around during this part of the timeline. But it's okay because they haven't fully paid back their Jedi student loans. Meaning technically, they aren't a Jedi.
  17. Roy Focker
    That would be nice, wouldn't it? First episode we get all the Jedi fight scenes out of the way with them getting killed off and the rest of the series is a gritty detective story.
  18. Roy Focker
    A band of Jedi wandering the woods and fighting with light sabers - the plot of 99% of all Star Wars fan films.

    One thing going for this show is that it is set in a different era. That should mean no dumbass elements to connect it to the Filoni/verse like with Kenobi.

    Hacked account? Is this even their real account? Early April fools joke?

    Anyone else besides me find Dune (in general) to be a bit overrated? All nicely made films, but I'm not impressed by it as most people are.
  22. Roy Focker
    One idea I always had for a series is a search for the Megaroad that happens not too long after it goes missing. They send a new crew on a new ship. Of course they never find it but are swept away to fight some new threat that can only be defeated by music and love or some crap.
  23. Roy Focker
    Cool repaints from the inferior cartoons just what everyone wants.

    It's a little too late for a movie. What else is there to tell? He grew as a character by putting baby Yoda above his cult's code, did what was best for baby Yoda's welfare, got kick out of his cult, got back in his cult, got back with baby Yoda, defeated the big bad twice and returned his people to their home world. The end.

    I wasn't home for yesterday's attempt so they're bringing it today.
