'Star Wars: Skeleton Crew' exclusive photos reveal Jaleel White and a band of space pirates, as show creators explain a 'resurgence of piracy.'

Did he do that?!?!?!?!?

Also, kinda burying the lede that the Wolfman-mask alien from the ANH Cantina scene will be an actual character.

Please don’t let this suck…

    I’m an editor by trade, and weirdly, I think Acolyte’s main problem is editing. When I later heard that the story was supposed to be all about the Sith and was reworked by producers, it clicked. It’s cut like someone doing their best to make a story make sense after cornerstones of that story are removed. I’ve been in that position. It sucks.

      I didn’t have any real problems with the actual story of the Acolyte, but what did put me off most was the insane pacing and strange edits in that show, there was rarely a moment of rest to give viewers time to let stuff sink in. Some episodes also cut-off very suddenly to a credit roll, it was just jarring. And a lot of scenes felt like they were supposed to be a lot longer and could’ve benefitted from a lot more dialogue.

      I’m unsure why they did so, because most episode could’ve easily been like 20-30 minutes longer to make at least 1 hour episodes. I think they might’ve cut a lot and saved it for either flashbacks in a potential second season (especially the Qimir stuff) or decided they wanted to change it later.

      The whole editing and pacing reminds me a lot of Rise of Skywalker, the entire movie felt like they crammed 2 or even 3 movies into one.
