Some Promising News About ‘The Acolyte’ Season 2

From the showrunner herself, we have some updates about season 2 of The Acolyte after this week's thrilling episode.
www.forbes.com www.forbes.com
In a new interview with EW, showrunner Leslye Headland talks about season 2, though what that means for the storyline of season 1, if it does happen. It’s interesting to see her philosophy which she says echoes another famous show:
“I think you should put everything you can into the first season and give the audience a nice resolution that feels satisfying, but enough nods to mysteries that you would want to see a second season.”

“I remember reading that Vince Gilligan in writing and doing the first season of Breaking Bad really didn't plan on, “We're getting seven more seasons, and this is what's going to happen to Walter White.” It was much more, “Here's everything we got. We're throwing everything at the wall.” And then with the pickup, he mapped out, “Okay, here's what's going to happen over the course of however many seasons.”

She goes on to talk about a few things that season 2 would contain, in vague terms:
  • There are “four to five major mysteries and plot points” that season 2 would contain.
  • She talks about how character development needs to hit certain points in second, third or fourth seasons, though none of this has been worked out already.
  • She talks about Cortosis, the metal that can deflect and short out lightsabers, which she says is a “finite resource” which is why we don’t see it carry into the future of the universe, and we would learn more about it in a season 2.
  • She says we will not learn too much of Qimir’s backstory this season, but says that we will understand that he wants freedom on a “second level” which would be explored in season 2, beyond just the fact that he wants to wield his power however he wants.
then they throw this in as the last line
"While The Acolyte has sparked a lot of hate from a contingent of Star Wars fans who believe it’s “too woke” and has broken canon (there is no evidence of this), it has amassed many fans who would be excited to see a season 2. I have been unsure of its trajectory before this, but the last episode convinced me I want to see more. Mainly more of Qimir. A lot more of him, he rules."

no hilarity, just a filler episode. nothing happened. they're really milking that "real story" behind the lesbian space witch massacre.

As chuck said, filler episode, not a lot happens. Green Jedi lady is so boring to watch. Her Jedi pals might as well be red shirts...

Cool lightwhip though, hope we get to see it in a fight since fight scenes are pretty good in this show.

it was also a pretty short episode too. the youtubers can only talk about the scene where OSHA is checking out that dude's Sith junk. its also so stupid that they cant realize he is a fucking Sith. he must have been a Jedi Master. and that means Sol killed everyone! even though he told us where he was and that the Jedi were all dead. at least the green dyke had the forethought to plan a burial for them. fucking Sol left their corpses there to rot.

thats their space dog, the jedi brought him to Khofar to use him to track the wookie jedi down in the forest. now that his purpose is served, they had to give him something to do. so he's comic relief in this not light hearted show about assassins killing jedi and suicides and massacres and child murder. it fits right in.

I mean it is mostly unwatchable, but if you watch it as a parody of star wars, then you can at least get a little enjoyment out of the sheer amount of schlock that this show produces in just 30 minutes. Some scenes contradict the next scenes of the same episode.

This week's episode the green Jedi dyke needed to travel to Khofar to see what happened to the Jedi that sol sent a communication about. The signal breaks up and he spends a few minutes fixing it. When the signal is fixed he gets a call asking him not to shut off his location. So he shuts off his location and jumps to light speed. Just then, the green Jedi dyke's ship comes out of light speed right where he was. So basically, the distance from Coruscant and Khofar is so close that it's less than 20 minutes away using light speed. Khofar is located on the Outer Rim. Space in Disney Star Wars is very small.

So cynical. It is obvious they borrowed the Spore Drive from Star Trek.

Black Alert!

tbh travel time is something they've never done well in Star Wars
