This channel continues to be so mind-blowingly rational and clear-minded. Much of the discourse on Acolyte elsewhere is literally insane.

I couldn’t agree more. Anytime Star Wars expands the universe and tells new & different stories is a great thing.

Thank you guys for keeping this is on KZitem. Happy to support. The more critical KZitem channels dislike elements of Acolyte for legitimate reasons (e.g. poor direction, inconsistent characters). Unfortunately they ALSO openly mock the show for less legitimate reasons, and the mocking depowers their analyses. I hope the moderate critiques like yours (i.e. "this is not for me" ) are better heard by Disney. Filoni et. al. cannot correct without acknowledging real [non-insider] fan feedback.

Ken I’m there with ya, I’ve had a close friend say they wanted a R-rated Star Wars like “the Boys” and I had to stop myself from getting angry. To me it felt like he hadn’t understood what Star Wars was all about, but I took a step back and ended up having a really meaningful conversation about what it meant for both of us. It ended up being really insightful! Thank you guys again for a wonderful podcast!

As always it's a delight to watch/ listen to you guys often being my light compared to so much darkness in areas of social media and KZitem, offering a different and more sensible point of view. I'm 40yrs old and some people just don't get why I'm obsessed with Star Wars and collect figures etc still at my age. Some of it stems from my childhood and for moment in time transports me back to my grandparents who got me into it at a very young age. It's also given me experiences I never thought I would get - I do toy photography and before RoS came out I was approached by Disney and did some work for them, and got to go to Pinewood Studios, do an interview with Forbes and the UK premiere, but also made friends throughout the world through attending Celebrations (going to Star Wars Explained panel with you two was a real highlight last year) or through Instagram. I just love Star Wars, and while Acolyte isn't quite connecting with me (so far) I nevertheless appreciate a new story and perspective. Andor remains a firm favourite, but that's just my personal preference of storytelling, but I also need some lighter stories like Mando and Ahsoka. Anyway boys, thanks for offering such a great podcast. I rarely comment, but a lot of what was discussed in this one hit home and felt the need to share.

First of all, respect the pitch clock. Secondly, it's absolutely a matter of whatever you first encountered Star Wars with will inevitably set the tone for what is and feels like Star Wars. i.e. I was born in '83 and grew up with VHS bootlegs of the OT. It was (and remains) almost inconceivable to me that anyone could possibly dislike or even HATE the Ewoks. Just doesn't compute. It's always been part of what "feels" like Star Wars to me.

The notion of a R-rated Star Wars appeals to me, personally, and I bet it appeals to a lot of fans who clamor for dark, grittier, more edgelord content, but... I don’t know if it’s a good idea, either. Feels like mainstream SW has always been about maintaining accessibility to all fans (which is different from being liked by all fans) and I don’t known if I want to see that change?

As someone who is currently reading through NJO (the vong storyline). this hits home for me haha. The main complaint about the vong is that they are "not starwars". Part of me wonders how much of that was just the general culture around star wars at the time. NJO afterall came out during the prequels.

I have been intrigued with The Acolyte that being said I really won’t have assessment of the show until end of the season and I will need to rewatch it again like I do all the shows I watch.☺️ I do love to hearing your ideas and thoughts on the show this really helps.

Star Wars would already have a few r-rated shows if the ratings cared about anything that feels like a curse word and not just the ones in the list. Karabast and Dank Ferrik are basically cussing, just past the censor.

I really hope we don't get R-rated Star Wars. Andor proves that you can do mature stories without skewing into adult content that's inappropriate for kids (though I can't imagine Andor appealed to a lot of kids). Having new stuff and different tones is one thing but superhero comics show the danger of alienating the core audience for properties like this.

Many thanks to Joseph and Ken! 🤞 I certainly hope we'll get some more adult-focused live-action stuff set in the galaxy far, far away. ANDOR has been my favorite... and I imagine I'm not the only grown-up who grew up with the franchise who'd would love to see it grow, as well. I'll always treasure and appreciate the kid-focused shows, but I think there's also room for different categories.

I like the sequels and the series. I enjoyed the Star Wars universe. Now that Filoni is the creative director, do you think George Lucas original ideas are going to be incorporated into the future movies or series? Lucas spoke about Vader's grandchildren and Darth Talon as the new Vader in a criminal underworld. Do you think that's going to be possible?

I don’t want Star Wars to be rated R just for the sake of being rated R. That doesn’t interest me. It all comes down to story. If the story dictates a specific project needs to be rated R, I’m all for checking it out.
