<strong>The Acolyte</strong> (live action series set in The High Republic era) - a general discussion thread

I always have the impression that Kathleen Kennedy cares more about girl power than understanding star wars as a whole.

You know, sometimes it’s hard to tell what’s a genuine intention she’s expressing when making the thing and what’s just marketing buzzwords. She could easily just be talking girl power to drum up hype with wokeys without actually factoring it into the creative process. It’s like when a company changes their logo to be rainbow colored for “Pride Month” (which itself is a disgustingly consumerist concept). It’s not a political stance, it’s “Look, we’re just like you! Buy our product!” I think the same can apply here. They talked up the “diversity” of the Rogue One cast big time in the lead-up to its release, for example. Just ignore the marketing buzz.

If you need to B*tch about something... this is the place

The washing machine broke so I hadn’t be able to clean my laundry in days. We finally got a new one yesterday so I did a load of laundry with absolutely all my socks and underwear save the pair I was wearing. Then I get outta the shower today to find my brother left for his weekend getaway with literally the entire thing. How can people be so reckless and retarded? No matter how many times I tell him not to take my laundry, he keeps doing it. I’m gonna have to label at this point. If I could make it electrocute him for taking it I would at this point.

The Place to Go for Emotional Support
Time

What do we do in this post-reality world where nothing in the physical world has any value? We’re glued to our screens because the only that amuses our adult brains are concepts, not objects. We ascend above materialism yet at the same time detach our tether to reality. Even when hanging out with friends most of the time comes down to just talking, which is a conceptual thing, not a physical one. Being physically at this or that restaurant does not do much for the experience does it? Eh, I guess it does, but only so much. What do we need from the physical world? Is travel the answer? Travel is always fun.

The Prequel Radical Redux Ideas Thread
Time

As it stands with the prequels, apparently the only direct visible appearance of the Force is with force lightning, and that seems a little disappointing.

Tbf, every movie introduced some sort of Force ability, including the Prequels. Most of them aren’t visible because the Force itself isn’t visible.
