Skywalking Through Neverland

Our ACOLYTE breakdown continues! THE ACOLYTE marks the 5th live-action Disney+ Star Wars series. We’ve seen the entire first season, so now it’s time to share our educated review. We invited Mike Celestino ( Laughing Place/ Who’s the Bossk ) to join us in sharing our favorite moments, surprises, and cameos. What is Qimir’s relationship with Darth Plagueis? Should season 2 be R-rated? Will there be a season 2? And did the soundtrack by Michael Abels stand the test of time?

Stay tuned!   Today in Star Wars History - 7/21/1978   Due to its overwhelming popularity, the theatrical run for Star Wars extends another seven weeks.
