How bad is this show?
That last episode was the drizzling shits, it made The Last Jedi look like best picture at the Oscars.
Each episode of this show is DOUBLE the cost of Godzilla Minus One and it looks drastically WORSE visually/effects.
Disney continues to kill continuity from George's works, first it was Leia and Obi Wans mindless adventure, to not one but two kids just being magically made.
I think Andor is pretty good, and Mandalorian was ok (I didn't bother with season 3 though). The rest of the recent stuff has ranged from passable to bad.
The witches were created by Lucas in The Clone Wars, although the ones we saw appear different from those on TCW and Ashoka
Listen to real fans and not sites like Rotten Tomatoes or IGN. They are paid by Disney for positive reviews. The show is a slap in the face to Star Wars.
But since the sequels I did love Clone Wars, Bad Batch, Rogue One, Rebels, Mandolorian, Andor and a few others. Even Kenobi had some moments I enjoyed. So there's been some great content lately... but those fucking movies just ruin the whole damned thing.
More politically correct BS from Disney.
I had zero interest in Ashoka.
That game's storyline with some tweaks would be perfect for an episodic TV series, too - a ragtag group travel around to different planets searching for a MacGuffin to defeat a Sith Lord. You've got multiple Jedi, a Twi'Lek, a Wookie, funny droids, a Mandalorian...it'd be a friggin' lay-up.
Why buy everything in the Star Wars universe if you aren't going to take & use the best stuff? It wasn't exactly a niche game, either.

They are paid by Disney for positive reviews? Lets not get crazy, that's not how that works.
Episode 3 was definitely the weakest so far...the Jedi in the first two episodes are really intriguing especially Sol.
I had zero interest in Ashoka.
Ahsoka was boring and Rosario Dawson was surprisingly bad. Maybe becuase of the director? Regardless, she was completely wooden.
The whole point of this show was for KK to kill Star Wars once and for all and re-invent it in her image.
She got the first part right!
The Star Wars universe in my head growing up as a kid 30 years ago was much different than this.

This times a million. And it devalues the entire idea of the Force - of hidden Force users, those with innate abilities they never knew about. Or hell, even Anakin himself being the chosen one.
A bunch of ladies chanting around children shouldn't be able to magically bestow the Force upon someone else. It is a stupid, non-canon concept.
Other folks on social media are up in arms over another female lead being cast (I could care less) and the ethnical diversity of the cast (another point I think is asinine).
The writing is piss poor. The plot is frayed. Great costumes as always, but its a godawful show.
Kathleen Kennedy needs to be shit canned and Disney needs to turn the reigns over to Favreau and Filoni
It seems like Disney is trying to use these TV series to fill in the innumerable blanks left by the sequel abominations. A lot of season 3 of the Mandalorian sets up the rise of the First Order, a plot point I feel like should have been a focus of a different show instead of shoehorning into the adventures of a bounty hunter and his son lol
The Acolyte seems like it's trying to set the stage for the creation of Luke Skywalker and maybe explaining how Palpatine survived (lol idiotic).
We'll see what happens, I guess. So far, I like it way more than Obi Wan, Boba Fett, and maybe even Mando Season 3. And anything is better than the sequels lol

I guess it's a good thing that never happened then. I assume you're referring to the girls' ascension ceremony? They were already force users as shown when they both messed around with that butterfly/moth thing when they were introduced. I'm assuming what the ceremony was doing was somehow connecting the girls to the larger group. Perhaps creating some kind of empathetic force connection. Hopefully, that gets explained at some point.
But no, the girls already had force powers that they were shown using prior to the ceremony you referenced. Unless you're talking about something else.
Andor
Mando S1&2
Ashoka
Mando S3
Kenobi
BOBF
I watched this too, she was great. Some of that stuff is so hard to believe, but there it is on video.
Amazing how quickly the gleam of those franchises went away.
DEI at it's best!
I think Disney has been trying to eliminate the political aspect of their content, but they had already made so much, there was no going back.
I haven't started yet, but one of my issues with Star Wars, is the way they just casually have so many Jedi's. It used to be a novelty, not everyone under the sun is a Jedi. Not that way to expand the Star Wars universe IMHO.

Andor, Mando, and The Bad Batch are Jedis? Hmmm... Must have missed that.
LOL! The first movie was literally about taking on an evil government dictatorship. Yeah, not too political...

I don't know how you came to that conclusion, but there have been Jedi's in just about every series with the exception of Andor(which was fantastic BTW). It's just overkill.
wow talk about a simp.... excellent?? L O L
The SW hate is over the top. Andor in particular was really good.
Carrie Ann Moss is kind of always cool, but can only do so much with what she’s given (same with that last Matrix movie, which was TURRRIBLE)
Andor is the exception to the rule, as was Rogue One. The Mandalorian started out strong, but it really seems to have lost its way. The rest of the shows are unwatchable sh*tstorms.
Although Obi-Wan’s singular redeeming quality is that it managed to distill the prequel trilogy into a three minute flashback montage, and it turns out that’s all we really needed.

He’s not talking about the politics within the story.
