We continue with The Acolyte and have now passed the halfway mark, and who better to join Mike on this High Republic journey than Tonya Todd! This week brings the fourth episode (of eight) so Mike & Tonya discuss how they’ve found the first half of the show; Tonya explains what she didn’t like about previous episodes, and although they jump around a bit, they confirm their thoughts on Vernestra Rwoh & the Wookiee Jedi Kelnacca, what the payoff of the twins storyline will be, how the show has been structured, the lack of action and the quality of the writing – all of this and more!
