Our interview with the one and only @claudiagray is now up on YouTube! We talk #StarWarsTheHighRepublic some great conversation about the prequels and more, being a creator able to "fix" things, and how she made ice cream canon to get it into #GalaxysEdge youtu.be/y0lDZkqJoO8

Sometimes, we just need a good ole SPIN THE WHEEL episode to remind us why we do what we do and how much we really do love Star Wars. A TON of negativity and hatred in the fandom, this episode is not part of it ;) youtube.com/live/rpw19cI8L…

@Hermann22 Bums us out too, brother, bums us out too. Wish it was something we could all praise.

@SarlaccDigest Bums me out every time you guys talk about TROS being terrible.

@sw_holocron She's calling for Yoda here, hence the last scene... would make zero sense for Palpatine to be his assistant taking messages for him. Take away the fact he isn't born and would be on Naboo.

Some of people have theorized the voice talking to Vernestra Rwoh in this scene is Palpatine. The age doesn’t match up, but something like that could be adjusted (as was the case with Ki-Adi-Mundi’s age from Legends). What do you think? 🤔

@MarcFernandez It was his crystal already, no need to bend it to his will to bleed it. Sith do that with fallen Jedi's crystals. The crystals have a bond with the Jedi that originally "finds" them

Just a quick reminder that “bleeding crystals” was something introduced in the comics in 2017 and has nothing to do with real canon… Anakin had fully turned to the dark side and his saber didn’t…

@GalaxyChron Problem is the 2 sides use words like "trash" and "horrible", while the other uses "great" and "amazing"... both are over reaching. The show started slow, then picked up nicely. Had some "trash" (Vernestra), & some "Awesome" (Qimir and the fights). You all speak in absolutes...

The fact some people are still attacking The Acolyte and the amazing filmmakers behind this great show makes me sad. If you don’t like it, that’s okay! Stop spreading hate. Watch something you like! There’s plenty of other Star Wars content out there! Leave us alone.

@OGStarwarsAB Because a Sith bends someone else's crystal to their will, as Osha did. Anakin was holding his own crystal, which chose him already, no need to bleed it

Lightsabers are now mood rings in star wars lore!! 😂🤣😂🤣💀 Why didnt Anakin's saber changed color in ROTS? Oh wait, ROTS is true star wars

I'm all for complaining about the bad stuff (looking at you Vernestra, Mog and Bazil), but the crystal made total sense and was badass.

The crystal bleeding is the big trigger this week? She was touching the crystal while killing her old master and letting her anger take control. Anakin's didnt bleed in ROTS because a Sith takes someone else's crystal & bends it to their will, Anakin was holding his own crystal.

@AshanBhatoa @realswtheory @brodiewankenobi And don't misunderstand, I don't hate this show at all. But I do callout the stuff that makes no sense or is flatout bad. We put quite a bit of time into talking through things to make them make sense.

@AshanBhatoa @realswtheory @brodiewankenobi Plus, the better option, one that would have matched up age-wise would have been Plo Koon. Instead they had a look alike in the same episode. Change those 2, make the Cerian the look alike, and no issues at all.

Nice, Creepy Plagueis, who is maximum 15 years old, has been keeping tabs on them all, and learned that these Witches can create life from the force, that's how he figured this is possible, from the Acolyte Witches.

Join us LIVE at 8pm pst as we dive into the Acolyte finale. Now that it's done, do we think we're able to move past the bad acting, odd choices , shit music/chants and try to put this in its place within the Star Wars lore? Or is it really that bad.... youtube.com/live/7ag8VyEmn…

@OGStarwarsAB The Plagueis novel isn't canon, just like they're revamping Heir to the Empire, it's happening here too. His age doesn't change anything we've seen onscreen, as opposed to the Ki Adi Mundi issue which was BS

Pulling out my Darth Plaguei novel. Wookieepedia is incorrect on his birth range. He met Palatine 65bby and was about 100 (give or take) standard years old. So born around 165 ~ bby. Making him 33 during 132BBY. Plagueis was still under Darth Tenebrous's apprenticeship in 132BBY. Only until 67BBY is when he killed his Master & became the Master. I still stand with my initial assessment- just sharing more correct info.

So this is supposed to be Darth Plagueis? Cant honor source material that came before? As Filoni said "don't want to change them, that's rude". Yet again, age is disregarded. During this time he is either not born, a baby or very very young in age. But what does one expect, continuity & honoring what came before? Not with Disney.

@mynerdyhome Don't think this is the 1st force choke in history, let's all calm down. It was Qimir teaching Mae 1st to find a way herself, without just telling her. Then Osha popped up and choked Sol out by instinct amd anger. Saying "1st force choke" is silly and not at all what happened.

So, the plot line of “to kill a Jedi without a weapon” led to the very first force choke death😂 WTF

@ScarifPodcast A little bit of both. We have to lower our expectations of our theories and wants for sure. And yes, we take it way serious, but Star Wars is life so ...

Do we have to lower our expectations on new #StarWars to enjoy it or are we too critical and take it too serious? We’ll be discussing that question with a panel of ten in two weeks. Join the chat. #EnjoyStarWarsResponsibly #ScarifLive #Scuttlebutt200

@realswtheory @brodiewankenobi The Luceno novel isn't canon, simple as that. Look, I was mad about Mundi because that directly affects what we've seen on screen. Lots of stuff in this show to complain about, Vernestra is garbage, Mundi was junk, but the Plagueis complaining is just trying too hard to hate.

He created him and signed off on James Luceno's novel... Why do you come to my twitter anyway constantly whenever I have an opinion. Do you ever see me commenting on your stuff? No. Cause that's your stance, I am not here to combat you or change your mind, yet you are here to impose your thoughts on my post. You are looking for engagement or something? What's the end goal. We won't find common ground on the Acolyte.

@shieldsforce Anger = clicks. Clicks = $$$$.

how can you keep asking for a story involving plagieus and then get upset when he shows up for a cameo?? in a timeline where we all know he’s very much alive?

@sw_holocron That's the most real emotion we've seen out of Henderson the last 2 months. She was horrendous as Vernestra, the weakest link in the show

Leslye Headland and Rebecca Henderson behind the scenes of The Acolyte. Did you know the series creator and actress who plays Vernestra Rwoh are married in real life?

@realswtheory Wasnt there something back then about Yoda meditating in the Dark Side at that moment, and that's why he sensed Anakin with the Sandpeople? Plus I'm sure an Anakin rage is pretty "loud" in the Force. And we haven't heard one word from Yoda, how do we know what he's sensed?

Yoda can sense Anakin slaughtering random tribe of sand people but is oblivious to 15 of his Jedi DYING during a 1000 yr reign of peace and then also can't sense that a Jedi master Vernestra is lying to him about the cover up by blaming it on "one flawed man" Jedi Sol, her "fRiEnD" Piss off

We've been pretty equal in our critique and like of the Acolyte. But damn, I swear they do 1 thing per episode with the intent of driving people nuts...wtf is with the music in the credits??? Don't try to defend it, that was garbage and didn't feel at all "Star Wars"
