Star Wars: The Acolyte Ep 7: Choice, Reviewed: Wasted Characters, The Fire And Was The Flashback Worth The Wait? With Thomas Rochester

Star Wars: The Acolyte continues, this week with Thomas Rochester from Reckless Rebellion, to talk with Mike about Episode 7: Choice!

In this episode, the duo first talk about what they think has worked in this show and what hasn’t, before delving into the penultimate episode of the series.They discuss pacing & episode runtimes, wasted characters, Torbin’s vision, the fire, the witches, the mind-control fight scene, the twins, Vernestta Rwoh and even the limited connections to The High Republic – Thomas & Mike are both positive enjoyers of Star Wars, but has this episode made them reach their limit?
