Questions have arisen within the Star Wars community regarding whether “The Acolyte” diminishes Anakin Skywalker’s legacy. As a devoted Anakin Skywalker enthusiast, I understand the impulse to defend the Chosen One. However, I believe the notion that his birth and legacy are now meaningless or negatively altered lacks substance.
The introduction of witches and Sith manipulating the Force to create life underscores the significance of the Force willing Anakin into existence. He represents a potential ultimate balance to the scales. Such narratives only enhance his importance. If you still feel “The Acolyte” tarnishes Anakin’s legacy, I’d love to hear your thoughts. I’m open to discussion and eager to consider perspectives I may have overlooked.

However, I don’t believe the argument that his legacy is now meaningless or negatively impacted holds much weight. To elaborate, I created a video explaining why Anakin’s legacy is now even more crucial.

Austin Butler and Callum Turner star in Apple TV Plus’ “Masters of the Air.” In a later episode, two characters reunite under dire circumstances, highlighting the series’ emotional depth. Initially, the series struggled to justify its $300M investment, but it eventually found its footing. The series, a spiritual companion to HBO’s “Band of Brothers” and “The Pacific,” narrates the stories of heroic pilots during World War II.
The early episodes felt formulaic, focusing on repetitive air combat sequences. However, the series improved as characters followed different paths, revealing their dynamics. The story, narrated by Anthony Boyle’s Lt. Harry Crosby, follows the men of the 100th Bomb Group, known as the “Bloody Hundredth.” Despite initial struggles, the series ultimately delivers emotional and satisfying moments.
“Masters of the Air” features a strong ensemble cast, including Austin Butler and Callum Turner. Butler’s performance showcases his movie star qualities, and his friendship with Turner’s character is the show’s glue. The series balances the horrors of war with feel-good moments, supported by Blake Neely’s score.
Overall, “Masters of the Air” is a compelling series, despite its rocky start. The first two episodes are available on Apple TV Plus, with new episodes released every Friday.
Miguel Fernández, a Spanish student and movie enthusiast, shares his thoughts on “Masters of the Air.” His favorite movie is “The Lord of the Rings,” but he also loves Star Wars and films by directors like Scorsese, Fincher, Kubrick, and Hitchcock.
Season 5 of “Better Call Saul” continues to impress, focusing on Jimmy and Kim, as well as a recovering Mike. The episode “Dedicado a Max” features strong performances and references to “Breaking Bad.” Mike, recovering from a beating, finds peace in a small village but faces a turning point when Gus Fring arrives.
Meanwhile, Kim fully commits to Jimmy’s scheme to fight Mesa Verde, leading to hilarious and brilliant moments. The episode leaves some plotlines unresolved, but it’s clear Kim is determined to succeed. Season 5 continues to deliver engaging and entertaining episodes.
