There were some pacing and editing problems, but it was an under-rated show. It wasn't Andor / Rogue One, by any stretch, but it wasn't really given the chance to try. I can't think of the term -- it's like when something is made to prove a point that they didn't want to make. "self-sabotage"? 1/

-- The Prequels had Finn, and teased that he might be a force-sensitive or maybe a Jed in-potential, then backed-off. Or the romance with Rey, then backed-off. Then with Rose, then killed her, Fridged. This was another Minority-lead and Minority-villain, but just like they treated Boyega, and - 2/

The acolyte was an ok show. When I read that Disney spent as much on it as was spent on the Dune movies, that’s the problem. Where did all that money go? It didn’t look like it made it to the screen.
aug 20, 2025, 7:10 pm • 1 0 • view
Disney wastes money on way more green screen and unnecessary bullshit than Denis Villeneuve’s films. Denis wants as much on location filming as possible, and prioritizes practical effects, miniature sets, and so on, which costs more upfront, but saves money in the long run.
aug 20, 2025, 7:50 pm • 0 0 • view
A lot of what we see in Dune 1 and 2 is tangible, and can be reused at will - which means a lot less money needs to be spent on filling every frame with made-up visuals throughout the film.
aug 20, 2025, 7:50 pm • 0 0 • view
The difference is reflected in the product. It’s the same with Andor, btw. A much more real looking setting. I know they went back and did some location shooting for the Acolyte after the response that Andor received.

Right? I mean, I didn't love all of it, but I often liked it a lot and sometimes loved it. Like much of Star Wars, it was flawed, but all of Star Wars, except Rogue 1/Andor, was made for kids. If your internal child is dead, you're not going to like SW, and what you do like is out of nostalgia.

They gave Phasma a cool backstory in a novel after FA, only for her to be killed off in TLJ without using the backstory at all. She’s evil Conan the Barbarian. Backstabbed to queen of her tribe, backstabbed the tribe to get on a Star Destroyer, backstabbed to third in charge of everything.

But that's the big problem...when you out out books, comics, & games faster than you put out shows & movies, it makes it hard to find an area that ISN'T connected to the OT that is free of existing stories. With the Old Republic books/comics, you'd have to go back a thousand years to find
aug 20, 2025, 8:11 pm • 1 0 • view
a spot that gives you the freedom to tell a story free from being connected to the OT. And you NEED to RESPECT the source material. Tell a good story instead of boasting about the diversity of the cast and tell a bad story. And that is for the most part, what the Disney era has been:

See, I think you’re maybe conflating some items. ‘Look at how diverse our cast is’ is one thing, and complaining about plot is another thing. What, precisely, is your concern with the diversity in the cast that you need to bring it up as a talking point as opposed to talking about the plot?

Yes, true, it is hard to have content not in some way linked to the stories already put out for Star Wars, but even if you look at extended universe/legends, A LOT of Star Wars contradicts itself.

I’m not disagreeing on the point that I’d like to see Disney take their time more with the Star Wars content, and not just pump out content for the sake of meeting their quota. Book of Boba Fett for example was a clear line of ‘We did not understand this character, or are unwilling to let him be bad

Even Temuera Morrison tried to get the writers and directors to give him less voice lines. He kept saying ‘Fennic should be saying this, I should literally just sit there and be intimidating.’ Not well thought out about what makes the character what he is IMO.
aug 20, 2025, 9:28 pm • 1 0 • view
It's not the diversity in the cast that is the problem. It is when the PR for your show/movie focuses solely on the diversity of the cast instead of what the show/movie brings to the lore. When before a movie/show comes out, you say "If you don't like this, then you're racist/bigot/etc."

Yes, you have John Boyega as a stormtrooper-turned-hero who is also black, then why is his character so...lack luster? Same thing with Marvel's The Eternals. Wonderful cast, but more focus was put into showing the diversity of the cast instead of making sure the plot was solid.
aug 21, 2025, 12:44 am • 0 0 • view
You call out John Boyega specifically. I actually agree that his character was lackluster, however I personally wouldn’t place that on acting at all. They wrote him like he was going to be a baby Jedi like Rey, even had him wielding a saber, but did nothing with it. That my friend is poor writing.

As much as I adored that show, the amount of time it took to produce the original movie (5 years) and how long it took to produce the first season (undisclosed, but ‘Awhile.’) it is honestly a wonder that they got the budget even to do the first season. Amazing TV though, felt just like the movie.
