Only thing that could save that idea for me is if the girl student grew too powerful and falls to the dark side over time. Rey believes she would never be responsible for letting a student go to the dark side, so she ignores the red flags or gives empty feel-good sayings to help keep her on the light side. Meanwhile the boy student is working harder to be as strong as the other student, using actual hard work and discipline to get there, so he will have more respect for the power he develops. After the girl student turns to the dark, Rey will actually have to confront her flaw of not knowing what the hell she's doing and succeeding on pure luck. She will come to respect the boy student for putting in the work and need to reconcile with him for putting all bets on the other student.

The trailer gave me a small amount of hope that Star Wars was going to be approached with some craft and that the story was going to be allowed to 1. emote and 2. grow up. That first massacre scene was comical. From the tech to tactics to its presentation to the way Finn reacts, it all showed that not a second of research was done. It's as if there aren't hundreds of hours of combat footage on KZbin. It's as if the US Army doesn't have a live fire inoculation course that you could ask them to put you through.

That one with the two students of Ray, the female being very gifted, sounds an awful lot like a leak Doomcock mentioned months ago, sometime after Star Wars Celebration. I remember his informant telling him it's connected to the movie/show Daisy Ridley was to be apart of and about the two students. The girl embodies the good side of the Force and is very powerful. While the boy embodies the dark side and is becoming quite powerful, to the point that Ray is forced into a similar situation as Luke with Ben/Kylo. And the way the leak is given, it sounds like the boy and girl are born with these different sides of the Force from birth. Rather than, you know, the Force being a spectrum and becoming a Jedi or Sith are just reflections of your choices and how you choose to use/abuse the Force.

@@barnabusdoyle4930 I haven´t but I doubt that Phoebe character tried to murder her own sister, enslaved and burnt village of innocent people, terrorized a planet of her own people with a group of Na**s crossed with Alquaeda to establish a totalitarian militaristic regime, constantly manipulated and gaslighted everyone to gain power, and instead of facing consequences (death penalty) she kept falling upwards and ruled 3X illegitimately.

Here are some facts for you from someone who worked on acolyte. It started filming summer 22 at the new reading studios reading and finished filming May 23 at same studios . We were told when wrapping up they had four episodes in the can at the end . I do not know if there was shooting on sets in other countries ie Back in USA but there were a few shoots in Madeira and Wales the production overspilled to the Arborfield studios close by. There were alot of sets forests, space ships, temples, caves and street scenes . This felt more like a film set than a tv . Working in the industry I have not come across a shoot with so much secrecy regarding the story, it usually trickles out because of what you see and make and the actors you see around , not this time , so I had to ask around . 😆.I bump into a few of the smaller bit part actors here and there and they were very guarded about the story and seemed a little unhappy ,not the usual chatty excitement. We had no trouble getting paid but crew size starts to dwindle towards the end in most productions . My fear was that the script would be modern woke garbage but I have no concrete evidence for this . As for running out of budget to finish don't know. Might be a case of panic back at disney and cutting costs due to recent events there . Would be a shame alot of people worked hard on this production🤫🤐

I was in Madeira for a couple of months whilst they were filming The Acolyte and there was a Star Wars buzz around the island. A huge number of containers arrived by ship with all the equipment and several dramatic locations were used. Madeira is a volcanic island that appeared out of the sea 4.5mn years ago and has a lush, rocky landscape, perfect for a Sci-Fi movie. Unfortunately, you know the casting and story are going to massively let the whole thing down.

[@navylaks2]

Doomcock and Cameron brought up the cancelling of Acolyte, so I'd say the info is pretty spot on

[@frankiesomeone]

Why didn't they just have LUKE SKYWALKER be the Jedi master training his two apprentices BEN SOLO and REY in The Force Awakens? what is wrong with these people

[@artstation707]

They’re writing something fanciful instead of telling stories, repeating the same narrative with characters restricted by a checklist of what is permissible. Undermined by revelations from the originals-whimsical too, but successful in explaining history from a certain point of view-the prequels suffer. The sequel trilogy did well until a disrespectful scribe took over. Johnson crafted a future tale divergent from prophecy, then returned the problem to the original writer, who could not repair things without daring to make the protagonist "evil". Factor in tacked on agenda, and you get a complete understanding of the mess offered.

It´s fascinating how people were making fun of her wooden acting, but then she was replaced by even more wooden actress-wannabe who plays absolutely insufferable, narcissistic sociopath on a top of that, but she gets praised everywhere and all interviews and articles glorify that terrorist, slaver, schemer and sisterslayer with extar steps who replaced not only Cara but also Mando, the main character - THE Mandalorian (no, not everyone can be THE Mandalorian).

Kathleen Kennedy destroyed the franchise, so maybe getting off this redo of the Titanic was the best she could hope for!

[@AzureKnight2]

No, she didn't. Yeah, she had the physique to match her character, but she's a shit actress who's just a boring log of wood. No matter what she was in. Nothing is lost by her not being in something. She's like a female Vin Diesel, only slightly worse. What she deserved was to be dropped after the first season, for poor job performance at a pointless character among other pointless characters..

Good for you. The rewrites to shoehorn that loathsome, sociopathic Space Karen as a her-o are too obvious. It is clear she wasn´t supposed to be there at all and Din was originally supposed to save himself with Grogu´s help and see the mythosaur after taking the bath. I had some hope Boo´s atrocities will be acknowledged at some point and Din will kill her, or she will realize she´s a terrible person and will genuinely try to repent her sins and sacrifices herself or something... But it was just more of the plot bending around that insufferable Mary Sue, everyone simping for her and giving her special privileges, including the armorer who called her "cautionary tale" in BOBF, which further proves S3 was heavily rewritten to push agenda. I stopped watching when that disgusting Karen got the darksaber illegitimately again, and then I went to rewrite S3 into a logical conclusion of previous seasons. I finished the first draft today. Stay tuned!
