I hope they don't pull any punches for this. I don't want any g rated Sith stuff.

Is this about a Sith?
wait, what even is this
Constant isolation and distress.
Theyre releasing this stuff at a MCU rate now. I havent even seen half of Mandalorian yet and have yet to see part 9 >_>

that's not an MCU pace

MCU is far more prevalent. This is the first new Star Wars content in a year I want to say while MCU starts filming a dozen projects in the next year.

It's a TV series set a few hundred years before the Phantom Menace during an era called the High Republic when the Sith were operating in the shadows and the Jedi were at the height of their power.

We don't know specifics on the plot, but I think a synopsis they dumped a while back said something like "A jedi and his apprentice investigate a gruesome crime spree and come face to face with dark forces"

Eh, another tv show. Was hoping for a game tbh. Need something for that KOTOR itch.
Constant isolation and distress.

Based on the trailer and cast list theres no white men playing a major role in this show, and considering this is a prequel and where the timeline ends up I think thats pretty funny.
Looks fun.
Spectre of Dark Aether
We need to jump thousands of years into the future at this point

They just keep jamming stuff into the timeline and if its about new characters they either have to kill all of them or make up a stupid excuse why theyre never mentioned again
Hee Ho
This is set hundreds of years before the films so they dont need to do shit.

Star Wars is a zombie franchise that Disney keeps locked in a profane, undead state.

Hundreds of years before, means they really don't have to worry too much.

Thats the good thing of going so far back. They can do pretty much whatever the hell they want, like with the Old Republic era set thousands of years before.

All we know is the Jedi won't be wiped out. Aside from that, things are fair game for storytelling.
Your face looks like I need a beer.
Looks edgy. I don't expect it to be Andor good, but even above average television show I would accept as well. We'll see if the trailer is any good.
DI MOLTO!
Some of those fight scenes felt like a kung fu movie.

I'm here for it tbh. As long as I get a decent action-oriented jedi show, I'll be relatively content.

Ok that looks even better than I expected! I'm loving that we're FINALLY getting different color lightsabers.
Story could be good but visually the show looks CW/Sci-Fi channel quality and that's incredibly disappointing after Andor.

Lol no it doesn't. The CW has nothing close to this type of visual effects.
They didn't show it, but if its hundreds of years ago, will we see a younger Yoda?
If you want something done right, do it yourself.
So note to self: Do more myself.

It's possible. Yoda was mentioned in other High Republic stuff.
Many Bothans died to bring you this post.
Hopefully you'll all get a chance to see what I've seen from High Republic. It's an incredible era.

Yoda is very present in the High Republic series. Even at the time of the HR books he is an aged Master of high regard. Acolyte takes place after the HR books.

I'd much prefer if they held him back and given the trailer doesn't even feature him, that's a good sign. For comparison, the books didn't have Yoda as an active character until the end of the first (of three) phases of books. He's sparsely used, which I think is a good idea.

So, in The Phantom Menace, Qui Gon was surprised to see someone with a dark force user trained in the Jedi arts, and Mace specifically mentions that the Sith were believed to be extinct for 1000 years. I wonder how they're gonna explain this villain character with the red saber if this is only a couple hundred years before TPM.
Are the Young Jedi Adventures kids (now adults?) going to die?

The simplest way is understanding that not all who use the dark side are Sith.

They are in all likelihood already dead by the time Acolyte takes place.

Ki-Adi-Mundi said the Sith were extinct, not Mace.

Also, there is no telling if the threats they are dealing with even are Sith. Sith could be behind things, pulling strings as Palpatine did. But these could just be regular dark Jedi.

Also remember that Jedi and Sith aren't the only factions of Force users. such as the witches of Dathomir. I hope they delve more into other factions we don't know about, which could be gone by the time of the saga.

Yeah, for the most part the CGI work in Andor wasn't even that great either, this show seems to be better in that department. What made Andor to be the best Star Wars show was the writing, characters, script, and world building. It was the first time we actually get to see why the Empire was a big problem in a socio-political kind of way, even down to how they destroy cultures and enslave people giving false hopes.
DI MOLTO!
Star Wars: We have ninjas now

I think it's only separated by 100 years. Maybe some of the non-human Jedi are still alive? Other than Yoda, of course.

Obviously. But when Darth Maul revealed himself, Qui Gon immediately assumed he was Sith and said so to the council did he not? He didn't assume he was a dark Jedi or anything else. So I'm really curious about this villain like I said, and how the Jedi will handle the situation. Because he or she CANT be Sith.

Idk. I'm just worried they are gonna retcon some more Star Wars lore again.
Mundi is a top tier idiot and why Obi-Wan and Anakin were separated in the first place. I don't think anything he said should be trusted.

Okay the canonists have dug up information confirming that the enemy is in fact a Sith and I'm fine with that.

Ah never mind. They're rolling with this as "proof" that it's a Sith. Tangential at best.

"I think it is time to inform the senate that our ability to use the Force has diminished." - Mace Windu.

The Jedi have been complete ass in knowing their heads from a Sith for hundreds of years. I don't think it's a retcon.

I don't even like Star Wars anymore and I thought it was neat although once again pointless because we already did this prequel shit before and the IP holders will never ever ever move the fuck on from that subject matter.
