    As it turns out with the Acolyte no amount of laser swords and magic can save that show.

    I was not going to watch it as i have found the shows are going down hill, but my son(7) is Star Wars crazy so i watched it with him.

    He loved it, i left with barely any feelings about it whatsoever.

    I WANTED MORE THRAWN.(I guess that was a feeeling)

    Yeah I finally finished this, it was pretty godawful

    Easily the worst of the new live action Star Wars shows, I've enjoyed the rest quite a bit, but this just fell flat

    Pretty much the entire cast outside of Sol were terrible (even Carrie Ann Moss wasn't that great which surprised me). The story, lame. Even the way it was shot looked bad. It even lacked that Star Wars feeling which all the other shows up until now had

    Really hope they don't make another season of this and if they do they need an entirely new creative team in to do it. The people behind this season would be better off making tv commercials or something

    Welcome to the roller-coaster ride in quality us novel/comics went through in the 90's.
    It's funny to see it all happen all over again.

    Hey, they've turned on the CHUDs!
    They seemed to be courting them for awhile.
    Must have figured out how futile it was.

    Tell us more about CHUDS because we all know you got that term from your YouTube heroes.

    Yeah, past-me went to the future, and saw this clip, and brought CHUDs back.
    Or! You're swimming in a sea of butt-hurt.
    Yeah, better to believe in the time machine. That I charged up off a pyramid.

    If that’s what you think Star Wars is and should be, then don’t watch Andor.

    Andor is about the rebellion and the normal people before Like came along at the last minute to accept all the credit.

    Hey, Luke didn’t exactly do nothing. That was a great shot. One in a million, even.

    I’m not saying it wasn’t. But, he didn’t conjure the plans of the Death Star from the force. At that point, he barely knew what it was. Both the force and the Death Star.

    I’ve always been more curious about the rebellion than force users anyway. But, that’s just me. I know most people like Jedi and light sabers.

    Shame, I liked it - even with all the ultra annoying characters.

    It was pretty weak, but given they were introducing a new era I hadn't been expecting much.

    I'm wondering if this means they'll abandon the old/high republic era altogether?

    I'm not a fan of the whole "Bleeding your crystal" nonsense, since this was the only on screen occurrence hopefully they'll drop it.

    I really hope so. No one cares about that era outside of KOTOR fans.

    The Mandalorian is a good show. I didn’t like the storyline of bringing back Luke Skywalker. In fact, that may have been its failing. But, the show didn’t fail. The studios decided a movie would be better than a season 4.

    I never got around to watching it, but it's worrying that this is the second time Star Wars has tried putting out something new and different, then hit the brakes and back-pedaled.

    Are we doomed to get nothing but minor variations on the original trilogy until the end of time? "Somehow Palestine returns" again and again and again? :clyde:

    Now, those “fans” have turned their vitriol on Stenberg herself. A sweet post of hers about the show from three weeks ago has turned radioactive in the past 24 hours. While there is a sizable portion of fans attempting to comfort the actor and congratulating her on the show’s run, they are largely outnumbered by comments like “How does it feel to have your terrible show cancelled, princess???” and “Hate from Zimbabwe!” and just generally mocking the cancellation. Stenberg’s (male) co-star Manny Jacinto, however, has received almost nothing but love and support on his own version of the same post. Can you spot the difference?
