I watched The Acolyte last night, and forgot to share about it here!
Spoiler-free first impressions thread:
• I really like this era. 100 years before Episode III is close enough to the prequels to feel much more like them than anything else, but also, the Jedi are more at their peak than even then.
• So far there have been no references to or appearances of characters or planets that we know besides Coruscant. And I’m okay with this.
Spoiler-free impressions of The Acolyte, continued:
• I like the vibe of the show. It feels different. It should: it is in a period we have never seen before with characters we have never met, facing a galaxy in a state we’ve never known.
• There were moments that reminded me of The Expanse, of a martial arts film, of a mystery/thriller flick. I like this combination. I want more!
• I love the cast of characters. Not too trope-y but… a little.
Spoiler-free impressions of The Acolyte, continued:
• I don’t think I felt the need/want to explain context or lore to others watching—refreshing after Ahsoka (which I also really enjoyed, to be fair, but for different reasons!)
• Okay yeah we have Nemoidians and Coruscant and Jedi with the Force and lightsabers and hyperspace… it is still 100% Star Wars
• I appreciate that it jives with The High Republic era aesthetically but that’s about it
Spoiler-free impressions of The Acolyte, continued:
• I want more! That’s a good thing. I remember so many people dogged on Andor for starting out slow, but it had to take its time to introduce you to the state of the galaxy, the characters, the motivations. This doesn’t feel as slow-burn (or as deep) as Andor, but just remember the first impressions of that show before you judge this one too hard from its premier. 😉
Happy #sunday Friends! 😀

@MarvelStudios will we see Kahhori again? I just leaned of her character in What If…? And loved her character so much.
“what would happen if the Tesseract fell to Earth & landed in the sovereign Haudenosaunee Confederacy before the colonization of America … leading Kahhori, a young Mohawk woman, on a quest to discover her power.”
#disneyPus price change sent to me yesterday. Current annual price of $109 vs 2024 price of $139! Yeah, no! ESPECIALLY not when they pre-announce limiting TV show and movie production of #Marvel properties!
My 12-yr-old figured out how to bypass the parental controls on #DisneyPlus.
He couldn't find the movie Wish on the kids' profile... so he created a new profile. Which doesn't prompt for password or pin & gives you access to all the content. 😬
New season of Doctor Who, with the 15th Doctor, starts in exactly 2 hours!

I think the news about #Disney essentially "reinventing" cable channels again into their streaming service, #DisneyPlus is pretty hilarious, though I'm not exactly surprised by that since I too honestly have been wanting such a feature on #Plex or #Jellyfin for really long time.
The idea is, you could still watch things on demand, unlike cable channels of old, but you could also just tune in to a channel and be "served" different things to watch by episode, or by movie, based on what is available. That'd be perfect when you just want to leave the TV on and have it play random stuffs all day.
