July 2024: The Acolyte Pt. 2 (Episodes 5 - 8)
Added 2024-07-19 15:53:04 +0000 UTCThis month, we return to Leslye Headland's exploration of High Republic mystery, Jedi hypocrisy, and Sith arm muscles. After a middling start, can The Acolyte find its way into a more compelling, more consistent shape? Okay well. Barring that. Could it at least get a little more fun and sexy?
Show Notes
Comments
I liked the conversation around lightsabers being things that people build. I've never interacted with High Republic stuff outside what was peppered in recent games, and I haven't seen this show. But I have a Jedi OC from that specific era who has a lightsaber that is either one long blade or taken apart into two shorter blades. They also have a speaker on them that connect to her implants that translate her sign language for her (she's a bit of a self insert haha). I love that more creative lightsabers are popping up and I hope we see some more interesting ones moving forward.
