Who Star Wars is for? Star Wars is for me motherfucker. Who Star Wars is for. Fuck outta here. I mean, this show is not pulling any punches being for the kiddies, but I found it a bit too precious for my tastes, but just this side of alright to keep watching.
The first 2 episodes were fine but I really dislike these 8 episode seasons. It's like they drag a 2 hour movie's worth of story into 8 30-45 minute episodes.
That was the reason I stopped watching Acolyte. One episode was just about the Jedi walking through a forest to a house. It didn't need to be that long.
Well, I really enjoyed the first two episodes. It definitely has that Spielberg/Goonies vibe, but My wife and I are really enjoying it. I'm still not entirely sold on the fact that the Star Wars universe has suburbs, doesn't feel quite right to me.

On the other hand, I remain amused to no end that the Star Wars universe is such a rundown hellhole that their idealized paradise of eternal treasure and prosperity is... a mid-century modern house with a white picket fence at the end of a cul-de-sac, and a stable 9-5 accounting job with a decent dental plan.
Frankly, that’s looking like paradise to most of us at this point. The kvetching of Gen X staring at an IKEA catalogue has become a dystopian dream for Millennials on up.
Show me a world where my kid has to worry about a Stormtrooper and not a school shooter. I’ll take it.
Id make a joke about the Stormtroopers' aim if this wasn't a frighteningly agreeable statement.
