Roughly the 12 minute mark of the episode.
Ah, thanks. I saw it after all I guess, and didn’t realize that could be a “named” entity and not the housekeeper or something.
Can't believe they spent $180M on this garbage.
never underestimate the power of the dark side
I agree with this. Ridiculously slow setup. If this were a movie you’d have to provide that context within an hour. Get it moving.
With the exception of Andor, I think that's one of the biggest problems with all of Disney's Star Wars streaming series. All of these ideas seem like they started out as 2 hour movies, and then they stretch them out to 6 or 8 episodes, with about 5-6 hours of runtime. They need showrunners who know how to make TV series work story-wise.
Marvel too - maybe it's a Disney problem.
Totally agree. I’ve liked most live action but the animation hasn’t had any clunkers like Boba Fett or semi clunkers like Acolyte.
I see a lot of people dancing on the grave here but this isn’t good unless you just want 500 more Luke Skywalker stories.
It's good if you want them to stop raping the corpse of Star Wars. At some point they will stop, but first it has to become unprofitable.
Most of us don’t want less Star Wars, that is nonsense. And Disney paid a fortune for the franchise so that’s not happening.
I too am fine with this and have said they should recast and get on with it already but I also want some different stories from another time and place.
insane
Seriously
That seems like an overreaction. Parts of Book of Boba Fett were hilariously bad but for my money the actor and his character were fine.
This is more of a cost issue than a content issue, IMO. You can't have niche Star Wars stories that don't thrill the core fanbase when you are spending $20 million an episode. I didn't like Acolyte, but I would have watched a second season. However, a CW quality show needs to have a CW budget. Even Andor is only hanging on because Disney is willing to take a loss in exchange for the critical acclaim Gilroy has received.
For the first 4-5 episodes my wife, a person absolutely not online, kept saying “it’s time for CW Star Wars”. The fact that that took off is hilarious to me and pretty telling. The acting from all the young cast members was pretty bad. It got better.
Here's a thought: how about one more Like Skywalker story? It's been 41 years, after all.
Fine with me. Give me 50 more. It’s a common complaint though from some people that they want out of the skywalker era. But then those same exact people probably complained about the acolyte too so what does it matter.
I think Boba Fett was many times worse, if you take out the Mando parts. Which I guess is like saying that running back only had 32 yards if you take out the 85 yard run but still, for such a popular character with such a long waited story they dropped the ball there way worse than they did here.
For me I liked Boba Fett way more. Although the Vespa biker gang was extremely cringe.
She’s doing a terrible job at being a Star Wars nerd as she doesn’t understand what she’s nerding about.
I think this is pretty dead on. I'm fairly annoyed at all the woke BS and didn't pick up on it in this show at all.
It’s ok to have a show for a younger set. Based off the trailer I think it’s going to be a massive hit, even if idk if I’ll love it.
Yeah it’s no doubt for the littles.
