What, no topic abut this yet?

Watched the 1st 2 episodes and still undecided. I mean, Jedi, cool obviously...but is this meant to be Disney's version of the Sith origin story or something? (I prefer the EU one thanks KotOR...)

And the
Spoiler
evil twin thing is a bit annoying..."attack me with all your power"...yawn...
And...yellow on the Jedi? Really? Meh.

Anyway, I'll still watch a couple more to see if it gets better probably.

Way too early to tell, but nothing great so far. And I agree on the yawn.

I've read they're planning lightsaber fights on par with Darth Maul's. If they manage that, I'll forgivel quite a bit.

Well, the fight between Sol and Mae already gave me serious Flying Tiger vibes, so once they add lightsabres in...might be good. :D

E3 was good background. Nary a lightsaber, alas.

LOL, it was OK. Force Witches...it annoys me how Disney is like "EU is not canon" and then just steals all the bits it likes from it.

Will try 1 or 2 more episodes...lets see those light sabres. (Also, if this is the Sith Origin story...somebody trained Mae so...)

Not interested.
Disney Star Wars, except for a few small exceptions has been utterly disappointing to me.
I'll wait for good word of mouth before giving anything a look and the Rotten Tomatoes Audience score on the Acolyte is 14%!! 8O :lol:

Dam-sel and I watched it this morning. I'm not sure "fun" would be my first choice of adjective, but it had plenty taking place and a lot at stake going into the next episode.
