Theres obviously much, much more than that but thats the basic episode one set up.
Beholden to nothing except being Star Wars,#TheAcolytesoars.
Ive seen 4 eps and dig the sinister story its steadily setting up.
BIG potential in this era.
The action felt movie-level.
I loved the first two eps!
It’s so exciting to see a new (well, old) era explored in live-action.
Leslye Headland did a dynamite job fleshing out these characters.
The cast is stellar, the writing of each episode is jam packed.
The characters are fun and the action is great.
This show has a lot of promise.
A new roster of live-action characters feels fresh, yet very much still in the Galaxy we know.
Amandla Stenberg is great, Lee Jung-jae as Master Sol is one of my new favorites.
Solid twists, too.
The Kung Fu force fighting is MAGICAL!
JJ as Sol is the COOLEST Jedi since QUI GON!
It captures everything that is great about classic#StarWarswhile feeling new and unique.
The fight scenes are phenomenal and the visuals are stunning.
The action is , the world building is , and the SFX are .
We are both so obsessed with Master Sol.
Cant wait for the rest!
This is a whole new story that we know nothing abt.
The story is so compelling.
Amandla Stenberg & Lee Jung-Jae shine in their roles.
The fight choreo is epic.
It leaves you wanting more.
