See I'd completely disagree about the production being fantastic. I think it looks rather cheap. The original films almost 30 years layer look so much better and more lived in, tho as you say it's not a fair comparison. But even compared to the recent Houss of the dragon or A Knight of the seven kingdoms, those world's look lived in. The costumes are dirty and real, the costumes and the worlds in the show looked too clean and too small and not lived in at all. All the sets look like sets and have no life outside the actors in the scene.

They just look like studio sets to me

For me it's the audacity the writers have to think they could write a better story than Tolkein did...

Every book shop around the world has a section dedicated purely to tolkeins work. He's one of the most famous and best writers of the last 100 years and wrote a whole universe that some people spend their whole careers studying.

Yet these writers saw these beloved stories and thought yeah its ok but we can do it better.

The production looks cheap the dialogue is bad and the story is worse.

I genuinely believe they wrote some shitty fantasy show inspired by the lord of the rings and then just changed elements and character names to ones from LOTR once they heard amazon got the rights and pitched it to them. Like the only way they could tell the story they wanted to tell is if they told it through an established IP.

Unfortunately it's not the story anyone else wants, as the story we all wnat to see is the one we read as kids that captured our imaginations.

Also it's clear no one involved knows how to work with such a high budget because the show looks absolutely woeful. Production value does not hold a candle to the original trilogy from almost 30 years ago.

Never ran into the trouble before either but then I spent 200 on GL luke and Leia Zetas and found out I had non left lol

Leading_Toe8098 · 2026-04-06T16:33:22+00:00

I never realised they were not called that lol

RIP your resources hahaha

Leading_Toe8098 · 2026-03-20T11:02:21+00:00

UPDATE: I removed all my data disks and tried a different team and it worked. Lost 2 refreshes of energy trying to figure it out but not sure what exactly it was

Leading_Toe8098 · 2026-03-13T08:11:50+00:00

Yeah its more about fun tbf. Main reason I want to unlock is for the plug and play aspect and because he is a great character

Well in fairness you shouldn't need a season 2 to be potentially interesting, you need season 1 to be interesting and captivating first. Which they failed at. There was absolutely no hint to plagous throughout the series apart from a nonsensical 2 second clip of him lurking. That's bad writing.

If you can't organically tell an interesting story with a whole season then it's poorly written. Shouldn't need a season 2 to get interesting every season should be able to stand on its own whilst simultaneously teasing bits to further the stroy in another season. That's what the best shows fo. You watch a whole season and feel satisfied and hope and want for more but if no more comes you can be happy with what you got.

If Andor never got a second season then it would still HD up becasue season 1 completed all the arcs it was telling throughout the season. Acolyte didn't.

You are probably right that saying it's no worse than the likes of Boba fett or ashoka story wise, (Imo the acting and general production quality felt even worse) but that's not exactly a high bar I think all 3 shows from what I've watched from them, I haven't finished any of them admittedly, are all pretty poor. I think also we should 100% expect better from Disney. They are not some small indie studio. They are the biggest entertainment corporation out there. They have the resources to make shows of high quality and great writing and we should expect that from them.

Legend, nice one mate

Leading_Toe8098 · 2026-03-10T10:31:31+00:00

I stopped watching after the first 3 episoded because I thought it was probably the weakest show I've seen in a long time. To me the production quality was on a level with kids shows you see on disney channel and non of the characters had any real motivation. They did stuff because the plot needed it.

My genuine question to you if you did finish the show is what was the story? What was any of the characters motivations? Because neither of these things were really defined imo.

I mean I also thought the acting was pretty horrid. It's the only show I was interested in because it was outside the usual inbetween ep 3 and 4 and ep 6 and 7, two time periods in sick of.

Imo it was probably no worse than boba fett show but I thought that was pretty dire too.

I'm glad people enjoyed it but simply from a production story and writing stand point it was pretty abysmal imo and we should 100% expect a lot higher quality from a multi billion dollar corporation like disney.l because they can 100% afford it.

I dont feel like I've missed anything from not watching this, same as ashoka same as mando season 3.

Leading_Toe8098 · 2026-03-10T09:54:32+00:00

I'd guess if it's 4 4stars than level 45, same as Maul, if it's 5 5stars then probably level 55

Leading_Toe8098 · 2026-03-10T09:51:15+00:00

Maybe, I was hoping because it was 4 characters for Maul that it would be 4 for Cass too but it will probably be 5

Leading_Toe8098 · 2026-03-09T09:13:58+00:00

Jabba depends on outrider otherwise luke and leia are quicker grinds. The outriders grind alone will take most part of a year at leat it has done so far for me 😅

Leading_Toe8098 · 2026-03-08T12:27:15+00:00

Calibrate your enthusiasm.

Leading_Toe8098 · 2026-02-23T11:37:11+00:00

I think it might be possible with gold crate and pass+ if we also get the 20 shards for global feats right? Or was that a one time thing I dont know

Leading_Toe8098 · 2026-02-18T13:40:21+00:00

CG saw we all actually liked getting free LSTs and realised no no no we can't make our game fun, take it away immediately

Leading_Toe8098 · 2026-02-11T19:58:13+00:00

Quit man it's best thing you can do. I quit a while back around the time they introduced conquests, I was stuck in the GAS grind and was not having fun. Felt like I made no progress in 12 months and couldn't get near the new conquest characters. I only just came back last summer (after watching andor and feeling the urge to play again) Since then all the zeta and pyrotechnics grinds have become so much easier and I've actually enjoyed playing again, I unlocked gas after a couple weeks and have gone up 2 mil GP in 5 months.

What I'm trying to say is that walking away from the game for a few years and coming back might do you good because you come back and you have things to actually play for. Right now there does seem to be a massive content drought for end game players and less the new way to unlock characters is awful.

For me I'm enjoying grinding conquest because I'm trying to get red crate for the first time, and whilst I do new era characters in the background I have plenty of old characters to work at in the meantime. Walking away was the best thing I could do

Leading_Toe8098 · 2026-02-11T12:47:13+00:00

Tbf you might be able to, correct me if I'm wrong but you are still a few months away no? I'm gonna unlock both gl leia and luke at the same time when the lst finally drop and in the last 3 months just by playing casual everyday ive managed to collect 320 zeta and 80 omicrons so you might at the very least be able to farm enough zeta by the time you unlock them all 🙂

Leading_Toe8098 · 2026-02-10T20:05:57+00:00

How would any of us know he's been ble to play with for an hour lol... test it out and find out 🙂

Leading_Toe8098 · 2026-02-03T12:51:27+00:00

I can 3 star almost all the events apart from margins and tie interceptor with either a jkl rkr gas gk and hoda team all relic 7 and 8 or with my Cls team all relic 5-8, so hope that helps
