11/6: Headland's series is rumored to be a a female-driven action thriller with martial arts elements that takes place in a different time period than we usually see.

11/8: Excerpts from interview with Headland:
-Takes place in a part of the timeline we don't know much about.
-How she pitched.
-Has been working on series for a little over a year.

12/10: Leslye Headland helms "The Acolyte," "a mystery-thriller that will take viewers into a galaxy of shadowy secrets and emerging dark-side powers in the final days of the High Republic era."

I don't like that. I'm sick and tired of the Jedi stuff always involving bloodlines and legacies. I could do a point by point construction about what a terrible moral that always sends but nobody would care. It's always been a part of the franchise and it's always been shady as hell. I was hoping with the Skywalker stuff done we'd be rid of it. But it's appear the problems inherent in the saga's moral philosophies are bigger than the Skywalkers. It's depressing as hell

I think the Sith tournament is actually from Legends or the Knights of the Old Republic online game.

Timeline-wise I was expecting it to involve Plagueis in one form or another.

I dunno, this feels less like any kind of chosen one or bloodlines thing and more to do with just what could seem like a possible scenario between siblings torn between two sides of the Force. I don't think it's all that similar to the Skywalker saga.

At this moment, it's very unlikely that Walpurgisnacht: Rising will ever be released. What do you think?
This fall I will get 24 new VHSs, with that the number of cassettes will increase to 41. I need to re-digitize the ones I already have since my old Youtube channel was terminated in 2022, along with the new ones. As I left Youtube, the digitized VHS archive will be given to other people.
