Episode CXXXII: The Acolyte Finale Thoughts - A Consistent Mess
20 JUL. 2024 · Predictable. Convenient. Incoherent. Contradictory. Anti-Star Wars. All the staples are on full display for The Acolyte's Finale. The show is consistent, I will give it that. Hear my thoughts on the baffling resolution of the series as well as my thoughts on the problematic Anti-Star Wars message that it sends, embracing your dark side is a good thing when justified. Enjoy!

Episode CXXXI: The Acolyte Episode 7 - What A Twist!
11 JUL. 2024 · The penultimate episode of The Acolyte titled "Choice" finally reveals what happened 16 years ago between the Jedi and the Coven... and unsurpringly, "the mystery" is not so mysterious.

Episode CXXX: The Acolyte Episode 6 - How Convenient
4 JUL. 2024 · The Acolyte Episode 6 "Teach/Corrupt" picks up after last weeks massacre with another convenience filled episode. Qimir provides some well-needed intrigue and fills the role of an over-promising dark side user but the show has to be careful not to justify the dark side. Hear me discuss the continued poor writing in the series from the intentional vagueness to pad out the "mystery", to the convenience of technical failures on the ship, as well as the broader implications of Qimir's potential philosophy. Enjoy!

Episode CXXIX: The Acolyte Episode 5 - Lightsabers Cant Save Lazy Writing
27 JUN. 2024 · The Acolyte Episode 5 "Night" features some of the best live action lightsaber fights weve seen from Disney Star Wars. However, action cannot save a series that continually has lazy, covienence-filled writing choices, bad characterizations, and a mystery that isn't so mysterious. Hear my thoughts and examples on all of these points and more, enjoy!

Episode CXXVIII: The Acolyte Episode 4 Thoughts - It Gets Worse
20 JUN. 2024 · The Acolyte Episode 4 "Day" is another poorly written episode filled with baffling character choices, dialogue that fails from both a technical and "Jedi-like" standpoint, and a pace that is intentionally drawn out to end on a cliffhanger while also skipping over crucial character moments. Hear my thoughts on all this, as well as my predictions for where this story may being going, Enjoy!

Episode CXXVII: The Acolyte Episode 3 Thoughts - Did it Break Canon?
13 JUN. 2024 · Episode 3 of The Acolyte titled "Destiny" has been a highly anticipated episode of the series due to controversy surrounding the potential "canon-breaking" implications of the episode. Does the episode break canon? No, but it has the potential to go against one of the core tenants of Lucas' Star Wars. The episode fails moreso from the continued pacing issues, clunky dialogue, and lack of subtly in the writing. The Mother character is the best part of the episode. Here all these thoughts and more, Enjoy!

Episode CXXVI: The Acolyte Premiere Thoughts
6 JUN. 2024 · My most anticipated Star Wars show is finally here with our first glimpse at the High Republic era in the visual medium. This was a solid start, but not a great one. Even with a much higher production value, great fight choreography, and an interesting mystery, pacing issues and clunky dialogue still persist in these Disney Plus shows. Worldbuilding for the High Republic era also feels lacking. Hear all these thoguhts and more, Enjoy!

Episode CXXIV: Tales of the Empire Was Disappointing
13 MAY. 2024 · The second season of Lucasfilm Animation's series of shorts is here with Tales of the Empire, the follow up to Tales of the Jedi. The six shorts follow Morgan Elsbeth and Barriss Offee, an unlikely selection but one I was interested in. Unfortunately, while these episodes display stellar animation, music, and compelling themes, the 3-part structure of Tales and a lackluster end to Morgan's story hold this series back. Hear all my thoughts and analysis in this episode, Enjoy!

Episode CXXIII: Bad Batch Series Finale Thoughts
3 MAY. 2024 · The Bad Batch's story has finally come to close. It has been an inconsistent road but the Mark of Balance podcast has been their week-to-week ever since the premiere back on May 4th, 2021, only 4 months after this podcast begun. Does the finale have Bad Batch's typical weaknesses? Who survives? How does it set up the future of Star Wars animation? Hear all my thoughts, the good and the bad, from this overall satisfying finale. Enjoy!
