  • Directed by Shawn Levy

Ok, I have enjoyed a number of his products.

  • Written by Jonathan Trooper

He wrote Banshee and Warrior and other TV Work at have their fans/audiences. I have never seen any of it.

  • Stars Gosling and Smith

I like both a lot.

  • It is set five years after Rise of The Skywalker and is a totally new character.

That is promising and with everything Star Wars..

Is it Andor or is it The Acolyte?

It's worth pointing out that they worked together on the film, "The Adam Project".

The film was largely forgettable, but not bad. Assuming they learned from this film, it leans more towards Andor than Acolyte, although just a lean.

Yeah and that Trooper also worked on the Dead Pool movies so he is in Rob Ryan’s orbit.

I am allowing myself to get interested in another Star Wars product and unfortunately they rarely reward.

come on with this Acolyte slander. that show was dope. imperfect, sure. but it covered a cool era with cool characters, great fights and a rare look into the Sith.

real shame it's not being followed up on.

if you want to showcase the worst of SW, say something like TRoS.

man, this is why we can't have nice things.

[–] IWW4@lemmy.zip -1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

It already wasn’t a nice thing, so nothing was lost.

[–] Nico_198X@europe.pub 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Star Wars? i actually like SW.

[–] IWW4@lemmy.zip -1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

This sub thread is about the Acolyte man….

The Acolyte IS SW
