No Luck Needed posted:great more jedi dressed like they are in a desert. 1000 years of the same outfight, never change star wars The only jedi I can think of who never wore the traditional bathrobe, was Aayla Secura. Bathrobe or tits out tummy top. Those are your two choices as a jedi. e: and that one weird hippy guy whose name I can never remember. ee: turns out just searching for "jedi hippy" gives you the immediate result - Quinlan Vos.

The only cameo I wouldn't roll my eyes at would be R2 and 3PO in the background having some separate adventure. It would be stupid, but the right kind of stupid. Leave it up to some EU writer to figure out how 3PO lost his skin and ended up on Tatoonie and R2 wound up on a royal Naboo ship 100 years later.

In Legends 3PO was over a century old by the time of the OT, and there's one reference he makes in TCW which gets placed before he showed up on Tatooine.

Yoda in this show is like 700-800 instead of 900 lol This show is set only like 100/150 years before TPM

They use practical lit sabers to get good clashes and local lighting that doesnt need to be added in post. They obviously use CGI after the fact but that will occur whether its just a stick or if its a battle saber or whatever.

Doctor Spaceman posted:That means they could squeeze in a tie-in to Young Jedi Adventures! Nope, sorry, YJA takes place before the fall of Starlight Beacon, which means it's sometime between like 232 BBY and 230 BBY. so probably like 100 years before Acolyte. Those poor kids probably all died, killed by the Nihil rip, or were otherwise pressed into combat quickly due to the Guardian protocols being enacted.

If it's set about 100 years prior, I have a prediction; The Acolyte will either be Sheev's mother, or we actually see Baby Sheev Palpatine at the end as the Big Post-Credit Stinger.

It's like 50-60 years too early IIRC I'm betting it's gonna involve Plageius, probably not Sheev, unless they have a time jump. Although lmao if we end up on Naboo and meet his parents or some poo poo.

I really don't think the Volume is the enemy, they're just kind of rear end at cinematography across the board. Nothing about that trailer made me go "wow I'm so glad they're using real sets".

Palps was born 84 years before A New Hope Used to be two years before the end the High Republic, which ended 82BBY until they once again shuffled the dates around to make it an even 100, so Acolyte is now literally set at the end of the High Republic era rather than its twilight years

Last two episodes: the visual equivalent of Christopher Nolan's sound mixing. edit: went back and opened a bunch of old episodes to see if my equipment had somehow changed for the worse in the last couple years. Nope, all the other episodes are still fine to watch. Just the last two, dark as balls. Season started off so pretty, too. All the saturated colour and shadow made a lot of scenes some of the prettiest of any Star Wars animated show ever made. Megillah Gorilla fucked around with this message at 15:33 on Mar 20, 2024 |

First kinda bad episode of the season from Bad Batch. Just didn't care what was happening, and while I'm not usually one to complain about the show being too dark to see anything, holy poo poo I could barely see anything that was happening in that fight near the end. Hopefully it's back on track next week with the setup at the end of this week.
