The most recent experience you had been putting off, but for whatever reason you tried. How did it go? Do you regret purring it off for so long?

    I began watching Star Wars The Acolyte. If I had to sum it up in one sentence, I’d say it feels like they’re running out of material.

      The tone is all off. It has that glossy Disney feel combined with a lot of very surface level wuxia influence, which is totally at odds with a mystery-detective kind of story.

      I don’t want it to have the same tone as Andor, but I wish it had looked at Andor as proof that it is possible to shake off that Disney gloss and make a Star Wars show with a truly distinct identity.

        A part of what I would say disengages me is they interpret the possibilities too strictly now, in a way they take themselves too seriously. I grew up on Clone Wars and Rebels and it was nice for something to not fall under late night show tropes. Now everything they do is done for the heck of it.
