"I'll make my own film, with blackjack and hookers!"
Futurama reference aside, this is the sort of declaration people have made more than once in response to a failed outing. When fans are jaded, some will be pushed so far as to make their own stab at producing something, with past results ranging from The Punisher: Dirty Laundry to Hawk the Slayer. Yeah, just because a devoted enthusiast knows what they want doesn't mean they're the one who can bring it to life.
Still, after more than a few audiences were left disappointed with Ultramarines: The Movie, one in particular decided he was going to bring a better example of Warhammer 40,000 to the small screen. Now, after years of behind the scenes videos and trailers, we at long last have some solid footage. The only problem is that this is a cold opening; a warm-up example before the main event to truly get viewers invested. As such, this may or may not be quite the video you were expecting.
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).
