Out of nowhere Episode 6 of The Acolyte (which ironically I originally thought was only 6 episodes in total) is my turning point for this Star Wars series!
Limited editing on this one/ no inserts etc, apologies, stream of consciousness thoughts about The Acolyte Episode 6!
The Best Episode of the series so far for me was episode 5, which still had it's flaws. And episode 3 a few weeks back had me intrigued (largely thanks to Jodie Turner-Smith's perfomance but the show overall hadn't been for me. Now with my investment in more characters than just Sol I am feeling this tale of a Galaxy Far Far Away! (Osha has grown on me with the help of that backstory ep 3, ironically Mae... also played by Amandla Sternberg... has not haha) This episode in particular feeling like it explored new stakes and new ideas and our ever growing understanding of what makes Qimir/ The Stranger/ This particular Sith tick so much more interesting. (And wise of them to lean into Manny Jacinto's hotness.
Hoping it continues to escalate and finds a way to retroactively have me care about other characters too. Time Will Tell!
Star Wars is a fandom that I haven't really dabbled into for years. I've kept up with the shows for the most part. (I've seen them all but haven't been day one must watch with the majority of them.) I've seen every movie opening night since Episode One (somewhere I have a picture of me dressed as Darth Maul waiting for that midnight line).
But with a few exceptions (Andor, The Last Jedi, Bill Burr's episodes of Mandolorian) it's been a galaxy far far away that I've felt pretty casually towards. There's absolutely a rush hearing a lightsaber ignite, or the wail or a tie fighter in DOLBY surround, or even going on Rise of the Resistance and FEELING like you're in George Lucas' mind, but I feel like so much of that comes from my childhood love of New Hope, Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, more than the present.
