Describe the main character? What's her motivation?

This is a strange question. Osha finds out her sister is alive after 15 years and is killing the Jedi she thinks rescued her. Thats not motivation?

I totally enjoyed the Jedi being flawed and arrogant. They couldn't imagine anything bad happening in their ever vigilant watch.

Compare the elevator scene in andor, or just the heist episode to anything in acolyte, it's just not even the same league.

The episode where Qimir straight up murders like 20 Jedi in their prime. Absolutely brilliant and as good as anything else Disney has done with the franchise.

I'm sorry, that scene did little for me.

How many scenes have we had with jedi getting completely humbled by sith they didn't expect?

Yeah it was great seeing Jason destroy the Jedi. Jason? Yeah, that one hurt.

But he was also wiping everyone we were connected to, we lost the Jedi knight Vaughn the shirtless, as well as the greatest jedi in living history, padawan jecki the competent. It was an orgy and spectacle just to show that yes, evil dude is strong.

Afterwards, did it mean anything? He gave his monologue summing up the ending of Randianist philosophy the next episode, but we still barely had a motivation from him, he was just himself.

It had a lot of promise, but it was a series just to start a series and expand the franchise into the high republic.

They needed more. If you took Andor out of star wars it would still be incredible, if you took the acolyte out of star wars it would make even less sense.

Heard.

If it had been a cartoon in the style of clone wars people woulda ate.that.shit.up

It wasn’t bad honestly and I was legitimately looking forward to where the story went.

So was my teenage son.

My only hope is that we get some kind of closure on this story in an animated short or something. Maybe Tales of the Sith? Nothing is truly ever dead. How are they gonna show us Darth fucking Plagueius and the cancel the show. God damnit!!!

I mean … it’s similar to how they did us at the end of Solo too :(
