Spoilers - The Acolyte 1x01 in a nutshell

The Acolyte 1x01

Killing Carrie-Ann Moss on the first seven minutes of your show. Bold.

Baby alien. BABY ALIEN!!!

Tragic backstory character, I see you.

Also, I assumed putting down that fire would be much harder. It's really up to the droids to solve everything in this universe, isn't? At least in that they're consistent. So Osha is disposable, Fillik is disposable, Pip not so much. It just needs a human to take him places.

Osha works in a place OSHA would not approve.

And apparently she shouldn't be on the outside of the ship.

Was he going to force choke him?

This woman using the force to open the door, as if it wasn't an automatic door already. Jedi showing off.

Convict number 2 is like "we are getting out of here, wanna tag along?" with such ease it's like he's recruiting to his book club. I dig it.

The force is weak with this one. Gravity has to take care of it. And again Pip is our MVP here even though he looks like a labelmaker.

When the empire moved in they really messed with the Jedi fashion budget. Because Obin Wan has been wearing the same outfit for fifty years, but before they had multiple stylish robes in their closet.

hi novel! i just saw your yellowjackets and american gods post and you managed to articulate something that's been rattling around in my head since I saw the first episode. I feel like in popular culture, "lost in the wilderness stories" like lord of the flies tend to be viewed as "watch these people become uncivilized." But with the yellowjackets, they're not necessarily becoming uncivilized - they're just creating a new society / culture that has set roles (butcher, acolyte, prophet, etc) and rituals (the card game, the masks, etc.). One of my favorite things has been watching the team slowly develop the customs that will eventually become the well rehearsed hunt we see in 1x01. Like I got really excited seeing Shauna cover her face with the scarf to carve up Javi because I was like "oh is this why the end up wearing the animal masks." To your point, if you built a society from scratch and were isolated in it for almost 2 years because that's the only way you could survive, it's probably very hard to return to the old one which is also essentially new. Blame it on my sociology degree but I fucking love analyzing this show and your meta is amazing.

Yes, this exactly! Like we love to pretend these stories are about the brutalist nature of uncivilized behavior, but that’s not it at all. It’s about finding what works to keep people safe and fed and going. You shed the parts that are just…extraneous, and you learn new skills you’d never need in suburban New Jersey, and it’s all just a shift to a new kind of perspective. It’s so interesting. Especially because we know “civilization” isn’t that different, in certain ways. It’s just about what society deems palatable. It’s not okay to stab someone who upsets you, but we see in the Taylors, and in the political event Taissa attends, that people will say truly vile things and just paste a smile over it. That sort of behavior gets dropped in the woods because it serves no one. It’s replaced with violence, but both kinds do damage. So we have a bunch of kids who have spent 17-18 years learning the rules of society, and then have to unlearn them in a hurry just to survive. Those who can’t shift their perspective, acclimate to the new rules don’t make it. It’s violent, and it’s devastating, but it does have rules. It’s something I can’t wait to see more of down the road.

ahsoka ep 1x01 post-mortem

mvp of the episode for me is natasha liu bordizzo — she is a PERFECT sabine. of course she had a bomb-ass intro!! i am so excited to see her journey. (that injury at the end was a LOT though — damn how is she surviving that lmao)

speaking of sabine: i still feel strange at the idea of her being force-sensitive. you’re gonna tell me kanan and ezra never noticed?? would they have noticed and not said anything???? idk

i was so so happy to see hera :) i like mary elizabeth winstead but i wasn’t getting hera vibes in the early clips they released — but here i think she captures hera’s warmth very well!! (and in one of the close up shots i saw they did keep her lekku markings — i had thought they got rid of them, so was glad to see that particular detail!)

lothal is absolutely gorgeous in live-action and i loved that they used ryder azadi’s voice actor!! (doesn’t he also play mr. krabs) hell, we even got a jai kell appearance!! congrats on becoming senator my dude

hearing ezra’s name mentioned, seeing the separate holo he recorded for sabine… man that got me. (also i see filoni felt the need to double down on the “they’re siblings!” angle lmao. i guess he’s trying hard to make us forget about the awkward “i’m not with her with her” interaction ezra had with sabine’s dad when they first met…but i remember, dave. it also happened in season 4...)

RIP ray stevenson :( i am very interested to learn more about his character — the not-quite-jedi / not-quite-sith. fascinating that the apprentice has a padawan braid. (and also a sweet haircut. like girl who’s your hairstylist? can i get a bob like that?)

also i am always here for more nightsister lore. diana lee inosanto is a badass. love to see a filipino woman have a major role in a star wars show (and we’ll get to see manny jacinto in the acolyte too!)

it’s weird that ahsoka herself is the character i don’t have much thoughts about considering it’s her own show. they at least have fixed the headpiece so now she looks great, and closer to her rebels appearance. still, i can’t quite connect with her... live-action ahsoka is a bit of an enigma to me. honestly i just wanna see her go apeshit. i hope she gets the chance to.

almost forgot to add : THE LOTH CAT!!!!! the cat gets their own bullet point. they’re a star. we love them.

also i literally teared up seeing the purrgil drawings in the credits. i’m fine.

okay on to episode 2!!

3, 8, and 17 for the fave/least fave 😌

hi there! thank you for the ask <3

star wars fave/least fave (from this list; still open to answering more of these!)

3. favorite tv show episode? (i'll give an animated and live action tv ep for these)

favorite animated episode might have to be rebels s2x15: the call. i have a lot of favorite rebels eps, but this episode is very special to me. it's got a bit of everything: space whales, found family banter, kanan "definitely sleeping on the couch tonight" banter with hera, good sabine art, good action, SPACE WHALES. i could also give a whole essay on why i think it's an exemplary episode of the themes of rebels overall lol, but yeah. i just love it a LOT.

favorite live action episode: honestly this most recent episode of the acolyte (ep5) knocked me out of the park!!! i haven't been that excited by star wars in a long time! but also ep6 or ep10 of andor (the eye and one way out, respectively). also ep3 of the kenobi show (hayden vader my beloved <3)

(clearly i'm bad at picking just one lol)

least favorite tv episode?

least fave animated ep: i'm sure there's an episode of clone wars that's just meh to me, but i don't know all those as well. so i might just say b*d b*tch 1x01 bc it ruined kanan's order 66 scene from the comics :/

least fave live action ep: honestly.....pick any episode from the ahsoka show 😬

8. favorite concept?

this is a broad and maybe generic answer but idc: the Force. especially the Force being somewhat sentient (when it created anakin, knighted kanan, etc.). like the Force in general is SO cool and to think that sometimes it has a mind of its own, and there's parts of it that no Force users will probably ever understand? i love that. and i love when the Force is weird, and Force users do cool shit with it <3

least favorite concept?

gotta be honest, can't think of a least favorite at the moment

17. favorite hero?

there are many, but i'm going to say ezra bridger! his development from s1 to s4 of rebels is truly phenomenal, and i love his story more and more each time i watch rebels. he's a lot like luke, i think, in the values and themes of star wars that he represents, and i just love him so so much.

least favorite hero?

......yoda 🫢 now i don't hate yoda or anything. i just think he's a bit overhyped, in terms of being thee jedi. there are plenty of other exemplary jedi and ones that have to work a lot harder at being good jedi, which i always find more interesting.
