Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Mother Aniseya (The Retro Collection). Sure, she's from new Disney+ content and not the original trilogy, or Ewoks or Droids or Star Tours or the 1977-1987 Marvel comic book, but she still makes for a decent Kenner-style action figure. Her costume in The Acolyte was incredibly ornate, as was her make-up, and this figure has to tone it down a bit - and does a pretty good job. Her hair is still huge, with some gold in it. Her outfit has a lot of good sculpted detail, including a very Hoth Rebels-esque pattern in the blue part of her costume. She's very much a simplified version of what you saw on the small screen, but if she weren't, she wouldn't be "retro." Give this one a look. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Osha Aniseya (The Retro Collection) . Her The Vintage Collection figure was one of Hasbro's very best, and the Retro figure is also pretty neat. I was surprised she has a separately molded wig - an impossibility of the Kenner era - and it looks phenomenal. I like this one. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Osha Aniseya (The Vintage Collection). She is showing up at Walmarts and online stores right now, so the good news is you can find her. The better news is that she's excellent - the face is good, the wig looks decent (better in person), her accessories are exactly what I want, the vest fits well, and the articulation is good. This is a shining example of Hasbro doing everything right for a new streaming series show, because it came out within two months of the series concluding - which is also pretty good for the modern era, but not good enough when fans do so much of their buying before the movies would hit theaters. If you skipped the show (and it looks like that is most of you), this is still a good figure. If you hated The Acolyte, it remains a very good figure. Read on!

According to Variety, 'The Acolyte' Is Dead: 'Star Wars' Series Won't Return for Season 2. While not a terrible show, it did spend 8 episodes repeating itself, but had a really good Dark Sider actor/costume and a lot of really good performers. This may be the fastest we've seen a Star Wars show get news of a non-pick-up for a second season, and I assume the clock is ticking on if this might get disappeared like Willow at some point.

This week in Star Wars Q&A - We're off! Thanks to a strange blip in our hosting, email was down and if any questions were sent in, they were not delivered.

But I feel like writing something. The Acolyte starts this week with an air of excitement, apprehension, and also whatever lingering sense of trepidation you probably have from something from the last ten years of Disney Star Wars "content." One size no longer fits all, but things do seem to be very appealing to separate groups within the fan community. And like all things pop culture, it's worth giving pretty much everything a chance. If it's great? Congratulations on having a good time. If it's awful? Well, someone is going to make $200,000 off a four-hour YouTube takedown of it eventually. I think that's the new entertainment attention economy in a nutshell.
