    It looks nice. The cinematography that is. Most big movies these days use flat lighting for the ease of the CGI. This looks like a movie and not an extended video game cut scene.

    Osha had some training with the Witches and with the Jedi. I'm guessing that her abilities didn't go away they just were never that strong. Mae's powers were better when they were kids because she accessed them through her dark side. Osha was the "good" twin and wasn't able to unlock her true potential. If they are the same person Osha got the more passive, timid and self-doubting traits that hindered her abilities. It wasn't until the last the last episode when she let the hate flow through her that unlocked her abilities. Like Yoda says the dark side is quicker and easier.

    Haven't read everyone's comment yet but these are often the people who are to blame most of the time. They too are also at the mercy of any limitations that LFL and Disney places on them. Marvel movies have different writers and directors but are still all the same because they have to work within the established formula. Some writers and directors like those on Andor were allowed to have more freedom. Others are clearly following the instructions. Disney tends hire talented people who do have enough pull fight them for more creative freedom. Think how much Andor would have sucked if they were told to consult with Filoni to make sure it fits in with the rest of the shows.

    Just finished it. I found the way things ended between Mae, Osha and Sol believable. I'm not buying where things end for the twins. So many plot holes in that coverup. The real villain...

    Haven't watched it yet, but you're telling me they covered up to cover up with another cover up? Blaming it on them doesn't make sense because didn't they have an alibi for a couple of those deaths? There are still witnesses who were with them during the first 2 deaths.

    Mando is great example of the Feloni-zation. Season two ended on a high note with many potentially good ideas for a third season. How will Mando carry on without baby Yoda? Will there be a conflict between Mando and Bo now that he has the Dark Saber? They could have devoted an entire season to both of those. Instead, they solve both in the first couple of episodes. Rest of the season is Baby Yoda being cute and concluding the Mandalorian story arc from the Clone Wars. There was no storyline for Mando's character. They had one and quickly solved it to make way for Clone Wars story. Premise for The Acolyte sounded promising. A murder mystery, a Sith apprentice and Jedi coverup. Premise for Kenobi sounded good too. They all sounded good in theory, but they have screw them all up. I think make these shows with a cookie cutter. One might be chocolate chip, another peanut butter or a sugar cookie but all have same shape and weight. I'm surprised by the creative freedom that was allowed for the production of Andor. Imagine how bad that show would have been if it was made with the same cookie cutter. During the making of The Acolyte nobody questioned some of the creative decisions? Casual viewers laughed at the Witches ceremony but everyone at Disney thought it was good? Any person with half a brain would have told them to reshoot the scene. Maybe that scene works better in cartoon form. It is like they are trying to make things bad on purpose. Which is exactly what they are doing. Making it all fit the same mold. I have zero confidence that Skeleton crew is going to be better. Great lead in Jude Law but it is a show featuring kids. Disney's Star Wars is already childish and tame. Now they're going to double down on that.

    I'm afraid that the final episode will be cliffhanger. Don't give this show a second season please.

    Okay I watched it. Yeah, it was pretty stupid. I'm thinking what's her name had to survive because how else would Mae get off planet without some help. Sol's and Tobin's motivations seemed rather rush. I'm wondering maybe they should have started the season in the past. Have the Jedi and Witches to interact over period of time. Allow Sol's bond to grow. His concern and instant bound for Ohsa seem freaking weird.

    Haven't watched it yet but that spoiler review you posted sounded really stupid.

    Took me 3-days to finish this movie. Story isn't that bad. I don't understand the hate about Phoebe Waller-Bridge. Her character was fine. In my opinion they should have excluded the entire WW2 opening and save the CGI for only the impossible. Movie would even better if was from Helena's perspective as her character had the most growth. Indy should have played more a supporting role. It's okay for an elderly action hero to play an actual old man. Would have saved them a ton of money instead CGI his face on a stuntman. Another bad CGI shot was her riding a motorcycle trying to catch that pilot at night in the rain. Since was at night they could filmed it anywhere. Tow her on a real motorcycle next to a partially built plane. Would have looked so much better.

    I know this topic has been in sleep mode for months, but I finally saw this movie. I subscribed to watch The Acolyte might as well see this movie too. Only halfway through it. The CGI is terrible. I understand the need to put a CGI Harrison Ford's face on a stuntman riding a horse. What I don't understand why they need CGI the street behind them when Indy, his god daughter and her sidekick are driving in that buggy. The chase is over. They're just cruising and talking about what they're going to do next. It looks so fake. Why couldn't they just have another car tow their buggy down a real street? Wouldn't it cost less than CGI and look more real? Disney isn't just using CGI for stunts, and the fantastical. They're using it for the most mundane things. No wonder why everything Disney touches looks so bad. I watched The Marvels too. lt all looks like crap.

    That scar on his back looks to me like it might been cause from a burning whip of some kind.

    Those high schoolers are looking a little too old.
  14. Roy Focker
    They must have had some good ideas when they were thinking up this show, but it all got lost in the mediocre writing and low production values. Much like all of these shows.
  15. Roy Focker
    Crazy theory time. What if there's still another Sith lord behind it all and it's been Jedi Master Sol the whole time? Yes it is a dumb idea but I'm thinking what would be the most dumbest idea that writers who think they are being clever would come up with.
  16. Roy Focker
    I think we're going to have at least one or two more episodes set in the past. 3/4 of all characters featured in the original trailer are dead. With 3 episodes to go that's not enough time introduce new supporting characters that's worth caring about.

    Conehead saying the Sith haven't been seen in a thousand years doesn't break canon if: 1. The villain isn't a Sith. Disney and Clone War cartoons had plenty of red-light saber wielding dark side force users. Who they said weren't Sith even though they sure looked like it. 2. The villain is a Sith but everyone who encounter them is killed or swear to keep it a secret.
  18. Roy Focker
    Pretty confident that the one their mothers was behind the whole thing. So many clues and Mae's actions wasn't enough to cause all that destruction. Floating Jedi aided her in some way.
  19. Roy Focker
    There was some silly stuff but whatever. I'm kind of glad that the show is set 100 years outside of stuff we're most familiar with. It lets creators who've got then own wild and crazy ideas a chance to play around without ruining things. Maybe it ends up being good. If it stinks at least no damage was done.

    Don't you mean geriatric?

    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.
  22. Roy Focker
    Other than the wooden acting, cheap looking production values, and juvenile script I'm okay with this show.
  23. Roy Focker
    Ordered Alpine. Now He, Bazooka and Quickkick can have their love triangle.
  24. Roy Focker
    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.
