Darkness is eternal and was always there first. Light is an anomaly.

Ooo, I am very excited to get an impression of this show! refreshing in anticipation intensifies

Is it another playdoh looking 3d animation? I can't stand the Clone Wars/Rebels art styles.

... blood-magic-saber ... nice.

But that implies the existence of other bodily fluids sabres.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Ah yes, anal discharge saber, wielded by Dy Aree-ah.

The upgraded version is called the 'santorum-saber'.

Cum sabre. An elegant weapon for an enlightened age.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

Can you get someone pregnant with that? Should you wear a condom around it or just raw-dog it in battle?

Also, those aren't sparks that fly off of it.

...they called it 'semen' in the high republic...

You know what we’re all thinking…

Snot Saber

But spinal-tap-saber would be pretty metal.

How could it not be? It goes up to 11!

please be like Andor please be like Andor please be like Andor

Andor was great because disney didnt oversee the production. The Gilroy bros were allowed to just make. They filmed in real locations. Had actual characters with personalities. The bad guys seemed like a threat and not just bland targets.

When disney oversees production the entire set is CGI ("the volume"). All the characters are very bland and vanilla to appeal to the most amount of people. Antagonist are narrow and usually a joke in terms of a threat.

I haven't really looked into this series and how much disney is forcing the hand of the director.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

That, and it was a good story set in the Star Wars universe rather than a Star Wars story where entire universe is the same 3 characters and their friends - every. goddamn. time.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

Creating new characters is just sooo hard in an entire universe. /s

[–] [email protected] 25 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Except don’t get cut off from a full five season run because of a global pandemic.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

No way Andor could maintain that level of quality for 5 seasons. I'm fine with two of (hopefully) the best seasons of television I've ever seen.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Wait, Andor was originally suppose to be five seasons??

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

D:

This is news to me, too.

I believe the 2nd

[–] [email protected] 44 points 8 months ago (4 children)

Please don't be bad. All I have ever wanted is Star wars to delve into all of their rich lore. That isn't surrounding that like 60 year Skywalker period. We are forced to consume. Please don't fuck this up disney.

We want more of grandpa wookie watching porn in the living room on lifeday, Disney. The people have spoken!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I wouldnt mind a cocaine fueled acid trip in a space scifi again.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

Grandpa wookie is the most badass character in starwars. "the space nazis are trashing my apartment looking for my renegade son. I should put on some porn in the living room"

Starwars was at its absolute zenith with the holiday special.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 8 months ago (1 children)

You want another story set in Mos Eisley, got it

[–] [email protected] 14 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

You joke, but "Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina" was legit great. Everything that I hoped would be on film when Disney bought Star Wars...

Edit: autocorrect

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina

I loved that book as a kid! Tales of the Bounty Hunters, too. I'm excited for the possibility that Acolyte could be something like those, and branch out into some new territory. I also know Disney is terrified of the possibility of alienating even the most casual watcher, so I'm also emotionally prepared for this to turn into GONK: The Beginning or some other OT prop origin story.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

My trust in Filoni and Favreau is absolute. those motherfuckers can do no wrong!

This series is some SWEU adaptation, and deals with (among other things) the rise of Palpy and related characters. It’s supposed to take place outside the timeline of The Skywalker Saga (finally!)

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago

Sort of agree. A whole universe to play in and we have to follow the same characters all the time.
