The Acolyte Ep 8 Finale, Reviewed [VIDEO]: Angry Andy And The Apologist; Prequel Comparisons, Crystal Bleeding, Character Arcs & More, With (A Bit Of) Spider-Dan

The Acolyte has finished, and what a ride it’s been! Mike is joined by Angry Andy to talk about this finale and as both have quite different viewpoints on the show, it’s more of a debate than a review!

So, in this episode, Andy & Mike first talk about their expectations for the show, before delving into some issues with the show, including the Osha & Mae’s characters, before hearing a bit from Spider-Dan - he couldn’t make it to the recording but did record something which Andy & Mike listen to throughout and discuss! Andy & Mike then speak about the pacing and format of The Acolyte, and how it compares to other series. The duo (& Dan) also talk about prequel comparisons, side-characters, crystal bleeding, the future of the series, Bazil, The High Republic, Senator Rayencourt and so much more in this massive finale to this divisive series!

Star Wars Rebels Reviewed S2: Ahsoka Confronts Vader, Maul’s Return, Plus Rex, Kanan & Ezra

Star Wars Rebels Reviewed S2: Ahsoka Confronts Vader, Maul’s Return, Plus Rex, Kanan & Ezra

Our trio of rebels have continued with their review of Star Wars: Rebels with season 2! This is Maff’s first time watching too, so hearing his reactions is very interesting! This episode was originally released in June 2023 on the feed of Comics In Motion. Watch the video version here: https://youtu.be/Kk99oyK06ho In more detail, this episode is a sequel to the first season of Rebels and the trio’s first RR episode, so make sure you go back and listen to that if you haven’t already, but in this episode, they discuss how season 2 feels different from season 1, it’s comparisons to Andor and the best & worst parts of the show (including sound design). Maff then notes how he’s been consuming far more Star Wars content than he expected, Dave talks about The Clone Wars and then they discuss Hondo Ohnaka and the purrgils. The trio then delve into Ahsoka’s character and of course, the finale; Twilight Of The Apprentice!

WHAT ARE THE FREE COMIC BOOK DAY HIGH REPUBLIC STORIES? In ep 143, Mike delves into the 2021 & 2023 Free Comic Book Day High Republic stories surrounding characters from the High Republic Adventures comics from Phase 1, primarily Lula Talisola.

Both stories were written by Daniel José Older, with Harvey Tolibao as artist.

Both stories are within the THRA Phase 1 Omnibus, which was released in August 2023.

Listen to Mike’s review & summary of Race To Crashpoint Tower on this very feed (Feb 2022 for YT & CiM or May 2023 on SWCIC). The High Republic Adventures Phase 1 comics start in ep 86 of SWCIC, the middle comics (set after FCBD21) are in ep 90 and the finale (set just before FCBD23) are delved into in episode 93 of Star Wars: Comics In Canon.
