AVClub: Hey, Hera: why did you just send Kanan and Rex out to save Ezra and Commander Sato? Sure, Kanan’s original idea, bringing the whole gang out to save him, was a bad, incomplete idea, but you never bothered to explain why your idea–sending two people who aren’t on great terms with each other out on the rescue mission–was a better one. Sabine even knew what the gravity well was, and she could certainly sneak around in a Stormtrooper suit. I was waiting for a concrete explanation on Hera’s decision, some kind of intriguing bit of strategy that could explore some of the more intricate ways her mind works. But, despite the scene setting itself up for it, the explanation never came. As far as the episode is concerned, Hera chose Rex and Kanan to save Ezra because the episode just wanted to do a Rex and Kanan episode. Note how weirdly uninterested everyone is in terms of Ezra’s actual safety.
Is the new Star Wars spinoff, The Acolyte, good? Or is it just another way for Disney to capitalize on a dying franchise?
The latest Star Wars live-action series has landed on Disney+ – Star Wars: The Acolyte! RPadTV host Raymond Padilla enlisted fellow longtime videogame journalist Paul Semel and PR maven MacLean Marshall to talk about the first two episodes. Although we’re only two episodes (of eight) in, the boys were thrilled by The Acolyte’s excellent start.
Raymond Padilla, Paul Semel, and Mac Marshall will discuss what they thought of the first two episodes, including what they liked, what they didn’t like, initial impressions of The Acolyte’s characters, how it compares to other Star Wars live-action shows, and more. They’ll also share their theories on how the series will end (this will be fun to revisit in July).
