The Acolyte isn't good I'm sorry.
It feels more like a CW show than Star Wars.

I didn’t find the prequels to be enjoyable movies especially Phantom Menace. But at least they dared to try something different. They were the top of graphic effects and soundtracks and the fights were great.I don't think the prequels were good but they seem less bad compared to the disney era.

The third trilogy was uninspired and were a storytelling mess.
I’ll withhold judgment until Acolyte is over. The mom’s acting and Soul are good. The choreography is great. The young twin’s acting is bad.

To me, the Prequels were the prime example of "just because you CAN, doesn't mean you SHOULD." Lucas felt like he needed to use every possible technological advancement he had available to him, to the detriment of the movies themselves. Even though he had extraordinarily capable actors in Portman, McGregor, Neeson, and Christiansen, having them doing everything in front of a green screen with him directing hampered their abilities. Not letting anyone help him with dialogue, and not having anyone who felt like they could stand up to him and say "nobody would say this" like Fisher, Ford, and Hamill caused us to end up with crap like "I hate sand" and "you can't stop change any more than you can stop the setting of the sun."jaypesoz described exactly how much of those 3 movies I can watch.

Were the prequel trilogy the first major motion pictures to use green screen with heavy CG backgrounds?
Been trying to think of why this show feels off to me and I’m still trying to figure it out…the writing itself feels fine IMO. I don’t mind the witches, I dont mind the conception of the twins, the Jedi being idiots is standard behavior which also makes sense, so to me the writing is there…the acting is there too…the more i think about it, it’s probably more on the production/direction of this show.
This expensive *** show just looks and feels like a CW show IMO. To compare (thanks to Google), House of the Dragon has an estimated $20m budget per episode and Acolyte has $22/m per episode. But this feels wildly off to me.
Also - If a Jedi Knight is offed by an assassin, why havent we seen Master Yoda yet? Maybe consult with one of the GOAT Jedi’s? He’s still 800 years young
