First Trailer for The Acolyte (new Star Wars tv series)

[happybird]

I’m not sure how I feel about this one.
The action scenes look great.

1. So this is the prequel of the High Republic before the Dark Side rose...I'm always in

for more Star Wars...even though most hard core fans trash a lot of the canon since Disney and even before, I am all in.

Star Trek too...

There is no wrong universe in my sci worlds...LOL

[happybird]

2. Yep, High Republic era

I'm always down for more Star Wars, too, but have never been a Trek fan.

This trailer wasn't what I was expecting from the show. It looks very martial arts based, which is cool. Just wasn't expecting it so unsure how I feel right now lol. Carrie Ann Moss looks fantastic.

3. I guess my trekkie side comes from the fact that I am an old hippy and Star Trek was my jam as a kid.

I simply have always been a Stranger in a Strange Land.

4. My Mom is a Trekkie

My aversion to it was trauma from a sci fi movie I saw on Saturday afternoon tv when I was very young, lol. I was opposed to all things sci fi for a long time after that.

Recently googled what I could remember of the movie and found out the name: Saturn 3. I only remember a few details and have a feeling it was a terrible movie. Might look it up tonight and find out, and also to see if it really was scary or I was just really young.

For some reason, Star Trek reminded me of that movie so I never really watched the show with Mom. I should probably give it a fresh try.

9. Saturn 3 famously starred Farrah Fawcett and Micheal Douglas, plus a killer robot.

So yes, not only was it a poorly acted movie it was a scary, violent, misogynistic movie that you would be better off avoiding.

Star Trek was all about challenging social norms of the time, so it fit with me perfectly.

There is even an episode where they get high-jacked by a wandering band of space hippies looking for paradise.

5. on terrestrial tv or stream?

[happybird]

7. Stream

Disney+
Starts in June

Disney+ is worth it for a couple months just to watch the Star Wars content. There are several outstanding tv series. (especially Andor).

6. I am looking forward to this series

8. Looks good! If it's half as good as the Mandelorian, then it'll be great.

People, please stop comparing Star Wars and Star Trek. Star Wars is fiction.
