Harloff, the Russian Doll episodes lasted between 24 and 30 minutes, this is not Filoni's mandate, I know you are afraid of what he does, but not every mistake or decision is his fault. Having said that, I understand your doubts, but the point is not that a good story cannot be told in that time, of course, it is more difficult but she did it. The problem is that you don't trust Lucasfilm to be able to do it, which is understandable, animation aside, they haven't been able to prove themselves capable of doing it until now.

cool regurgitating a quote from a video you watched got any of your own lines

Dafne Keene is shown in the trailer briefly as a jedi.

They want more visits to their streaming service, so eight 30-min episodes increases traffic more than four 1-hour episodes, unfortunately. They figure after people watch Star Wars for 30 minutes they stay on Disney+ and look for something else to watch. I think it's a monetary decision instead of a creative one, and that's what is frustrating. I have the creepy feeling this is 2.5 hours of story stretched out to 4 hours and sliced up 8 ways. The inevitable fan-cut "movie" version will be better.

I’m not terribly hyped or bummed about The Acolyte, but I am a little cautious. Despite it being a hundred years before TPM, it feels like it’s yet another “fall/failure of the Jedi” story. And it’s 100 years prior, but I don’t know that it’s going to look or feel that much differently to prequel era? Again, I don’t want to get too wound up before I’ve even seen the show.

I gave up on Star Wars shows for a few reasons, short episodes being one of them. Currently watching Walking Dead Ones Who Live with long episodes where a lot happens in each. It’s REAL storytelling the material deserves. (And it’s amazing) I simply can’t do Disney+ content man. They short change it.

There is one remedy for these short episodes. Binge-watching

Roadhouse was a fun streamer. We watched it at home on Saturday morning. That last part of their fight was brutal! 😂 I wish Extraction came out in theaters way back when the first one came out, instead of streaming. That was fun as hell but now that we're in the 3rd installment, makes sense to keep it there.

tbh the 30 minute runtime thing isn't inherently bad. Ultimately it depends on the writing. I mean, the whole series will still be longer than a movie, and if a movie can introduce a group of characters and give you a good story in the limited time that it has, then this show should have enough time to do it too. It just depends on whether or not the writers use their time well...

Is it just me- but The Acolyte seems like cosplayers ...... It just felt not lived in. Then again it's barely a trailer lol more like a teaser that shows nothing... but I completely agree it just feels like Episode 1 vibes.

I guess leafblower guy really doesn’t want people to hear your opinion on The Acolyte! 😂

I just wish the Acolyte was True Detective in the SW universe. Imagine the tone of Season 1 of TD but with Jedi instead of cops.

I need to put it out there. I miss the schmoedown.

lol I don’t think I’ve ever seen Mike so excited in my life. For Mike’s sake please do a road house watch along lol. But I’m right there with him, the original was awesome. Haven’t seen the new one yet.

I do agree the monsterverse started a lot different than it ended and it hasn’t even been that long lol.

I came for the leaf blower guy and he did not disappoint. 😂

Because they haven’t got a fleshed out story or idea that can accommodate a proper length series. The acolyte was announced when there was the mandate of content content content for Disney plus

And so was Andor so your argument makes no sense.

The 30 minute runtime wont bother if the storytelling is done well. However, 30 minute runtime in recent Star Wars shows hasn’t been the best. I’m still excited for the acolyte

Acolyte Trailer was great but with Disneys Star Wars with only 2 great shows, Mando and Andor..odds are its will not be good at all..

Russian Doll episodes were 30 minutes, not an hour.

Ive just decided im going to watch the two episode premiere so i can see what its about, and then binge the rest a few weeks later. These short episode shows flow better to just binge.

I'm with Mike on the godzilla movies and discussion! I care about the franchise and really liked the introduction and tease of new titans from the King of the Monsters film. I was hoping the tease of Destroyah would come to fruition in a future film as a big bad. Monarch (the apple series) was really cool and fun and added some cool lore that made you care about the world in a new way. Wasnt a big fan of godzilla v kong. Would prefer things to get back to connecting and syncing up based on the tones of godzilla 2014, king of the monsters and Monarch the series personally.

When will this episode be on Spotify?

I don't think the 30-minute run time is a Dave Filoni thing. It's a children's TV shows thing, kids shows are 30 minutes, and at the end of the day, Star Wars is for kids.

People who are crying about it “breaking canon” just cause Mundi said that in the phantom menace, what do yall think the PHANTOM menace was? The prequels is about how the hubris and arrogance of the Jedi were their downfall. The Sith had been planning since Bane in secret and not to mention Plagues as well. If they do it correctly, having sith doesn’t break canon at all.

Mike with the "Mystic Pizza" call out. Love it!

I totally agree with Mike's take on the Godzilla series. How do y'all watch a movie series and not remember the plots and characters in the movies? If I'm watching something, i am fully tuned in and I will remember every detail for about 3-4 years, lol.

I’ve missed leaf blower!

The rule of two was started by Bane a thousand years ago after the Sith lost the war. For Yoda to name their are always two means the Jedi have run into the Sith in the last thousand years . So the Jedi obviously have been lying about the Sith

I’m right with Steph lol my first thought was did this take away from Beyond the SpiderVerse lol

In a vacuum, episode length doesn't need to indicate anything. However, we've been down this road with Star Wars before. Even if the show is like Mando, a fun little adventure of the week with a broad overarching narrative, 30 minutes feels short. If you're actually trying to tell a story of a time that we've not seen before (dunno if it's covered in animated or books), 30 minutes is not enough. They will skip out on character development or world building and it will feel small, the characters will feel tissue paper thin. I would love to be proven wrong. I wonder if these shows not having any kind of angle is what's hurting them. Mando is a western, Andor is a spy thriller. Hopefully Acolyte has something interesting going on.

Jedi Leaf Blower😊

Maybe leave it and watch the 3-hour “movie” . Great show as always 🇬🇧

Russian Doll episodes were 30 minutes and sometimes less, clearly Leslye Headland is used to working with those episode lengths

Hmmmm. I get that SW isn’t having a good moment and that the spice from Dune still has Kristian’s eyes with a blue haze, but Quinlan Vos’ name drop seems to be a big hint to this “Path” storyline that also has to do with Ventress’ appearance in TBB, and all this talk about the Ki Adi Mundi thing is exactly the same as when people where upset that suddenly mandalorians didn’t take off their helmets in the series. That was later explained, and I suppose this will as well. To be fair, Lucasfilm is to blame for this whole stink in the air.

Acolytes may have been shot practically but it still looks cheap. The one scene where the Jedis were facing the forest looked so strange, almost looked like it was shot in the Volume.

Man that leaf blower was OUT OF CONTROL this episode hahaha If The Acolyte is well written I have hope they can get all the character development they need put into half an hour. X-Men '97 has shown has much story you can fit into half an hour and still do the characters justice. It is a bummer they're so short though. We've waited four years for this show. EDIT: Lol typed this JUST before Mike brought up X-Men. Also we saw practical Coursucant in Andor a BUNCH. They filmed in real locations around London

I’m looking forward to Acolyte. Russian Doll was pretty inventive despite it being much more adult than Lucasfilm fare

It’s almost as if LF doesn’t actually care about Star Wars output and is just churning it out.

I might be done with star wars. I'm just not excited anymore. And since I watched dune, i get similar themes done way better.

I always rather watch my blu rays over streaming the movie. That’s just me though.

On the point of the young female antagonists - I really liked Shin but I didn't like Reva. To me, Shin felt like she belonged in the plot of the story they were telling. Reva felt like she didn't belong in the story they were telling and someone went, "Hey! What if this inquisitor was a youngling that survived!? And we add in a subplot where she is trying to kill/get revenge on Vader!?" Reva's character also felt like she was primarily there so they could expand upon her story in spin-off materials like comics and novels. The actress of Reva did a great job, its totally not her fault and anywhere else I think a story about a youngling that survived and wants revenge against Vader would be cool to explore but it didn't belong in a story about Obi-Wan that was already being usurped by the Luke and Leia subplots. I really wanted Obi-Wan to be an exploration of a broken man, a man who lost, a man who has l had his worldview/faith/beliefs shaken to the core, a man who had his entire world ripped from under him by his best friend and is told "it's all part of God's plan." I wanted to see the story of a man having to re-find himself, reckon with his own mistakes and shortcomings and reconcile his belief system with his real world experiences. I wanted a show about a monk who has lost his faith and thinks everything is over and pointless yet some part of him still trusts God's plan and through some adventure or whatnot he finds his place in that plan again.

Mike forgot that Godzilla mic drops the muto head in 2014. They just increased the goofiness is all

I have a sinking feeling that this is going to end up being a disappointment on the level of Obi Wan. While I liked the Obi Wan series for the most part, it could have been so much better. This has the same look and feel. I remember how good the trailer was for Obi Wan. I dunno man, I HAVE A BAD FEELING ABOUT THIS.
