Dear Disney...if you would like us to stop mocking your show, then stop showing it. Poorly written, uneven acting and plot holes so big we can drive a semi thru them showes do not earn respect or money. If you are going to have twins, at least have different hairstyles and clothing. No one will buy the toys which is where the money is.
LITERALLY ANY JEDI WOULD BE ABLE TO TELL THAT'S NOT THE SAME PERSON. THIS IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BEYOND STUPID. So it really IS true that the writers never saw Star Wars.
I'm pretty sure Sol knows exactly who it is. He played the pronoun game- "Where is she?... your sister." He didn't say "Where's May", he explicitly says your sister and kind of gives her a funny look. Then just says "lets go back to the ship." Definitely felt like he saw through the ruse and is just using the chance to get her on the ship to subdue her. If they were truly trying to make it a mystery, they wouldn't have shown us the hair cutting thing,. NOt really enjoying the show much at all up to this point, but I do have to say, I was kind of bummed the Padawan with the horns died - she was the most interesting character in the show so far, and seemed like the most talented combatant, for all that she's a 14 year old girl... She certainly gave a better showing than the rest of the Jedi squad!
That's a requirement for any major Disney IP these days. Know literally nothing about it, possibly have total contempt for it yet be able to spout the "I've been a long time fan" PR BS with a straight face. Oh, and be as far from a straight white male with Christian/conservative values as humanly possible. The farther the better. Can't forget that.
Don’t forget, the Disney Shareholders voted for this. And yes, they knew exactly what they were voting for. It is likely that no matter how much money Disney loses, the Shareholders will vote for these people or their designated heirs apparent the next time as well.
If Dang It Two Showers Bob Iger gave even half a damn about return on investment for the shareholders, Kathleen Kennedy and her Lucasfilm Story Group would've been thrown out on their asses long before this travesty.
21:50 Yeah, let's trick the empathic/telepathic warrior priests, who teach "don't trust your eyes, they'll deceive you" to their younglings, by switching the twins, who look the same but have completely different mindsets. God, they turned the Jedi into a bunch of weak and incompetent morons.
Yeah. The inconsistencies in all of the character's skills is ridiculous until you consider it's done to enable the bad plot, poor writing and worse story telling.
Mundi to Yoda: "so we just sent these 10 jedi to a forest with the wookie to do...something, and we're not expecting to have contact with them for the next few dacades, don't worry." Yoda: "retarded what you say is, but believe you I will somehow".
And I think they just left their corpses on that planet too. "Goodbye, everyone. You are now one with the Force. Have fun being ghosts while bugs lay eggs in your dead bodies and feast on your flesh as you rot away." Sol is being surprisingly ruthless here.

Dear Mr. Valliant, I release you from your obligation to watch this show. You have fulfilled your duty. No more of you can we ask. Time to move on and put your life back together. These 5 episodes have taken their toll. You need suffer this torture no longer. Your sacrifice is appreciated, sparing me as it has, from watching it. Let it go. Let it go.
"can cut through trees but not a wookie" That depends on how many force bars of reception you have, its on the light sabers screen, next to the battery icon
Not defending this shit and haven't, nor will I, watched this episode. BUT I don't think his armor is made of Beskarr. It is exhibting the traits of Cortossis. Which is a different anti-lightsaber material from the EU. It has the ability to short circuit a lightsaber breifly, like when he backhanded the padawans saber off. Of course it would do that every time it came in contact with a lightsaber not when the director thought it would. Also Cortossis was notoriously brittle, so the padawan breaking it with her elbow COULD be accurate. Still shit.
@@ValliantRenegade Not a Disney comic thing. It existed before hand but still. That looked like comepletey crap. Thanks for watching it so we don't have to.
I think the "true" mystery of the show will be how most of the women end up having to triumph despite seeming to face no real hardships or injustices that would warrant a justified victory.? It almost senseless how idiotic the writing and character directions for both Osha and Mae have become, so effortless and pathetic!
So they weren't happy with just obliterating Lukes's legacy but they also decided they needed to have an earlier version Ashoka & her twin blades for good measure this show sucks
@@ValliantRenegade Two possible in-universe explanations - Smilo was playing with her or he was somewhat tired at that point. Real explanations - the writers are amateurs. But she'll be fine next week, since she a girl and only got stabbed with a lightsaber. It's not what it used to be ;)
That's the whole point Valliant. Sci-fi and fantasy only work story-wise if they follow a set of rules. Force Awakens completely threw those 'rules' out the window, yet fans gave Disney 2 billion for their efforts. Disney saw that as a green light, and just continued giving the fans crap. Then they put a SW label on it, and let them fight over it.
Mae actually got schooled by everyone she’s fought except rando bar patrons. Trinity would have won easily except for the “save the bartender or yourself” cheat. So it’s not really a surprise that Jecki whipped her. That said, it was utterly ridiculous that the Sith didn’t cut her down with the same ease as the others, if not more so.
To play devils advocate for the helmet thing it's most likely cortosis not beskar, which was literally only good for temporarily disabling lightsabers, or taking a couple blaster shots the biggest disadvantage is that it's usually pretty fragile unless refined and struggles with constant energy attacks and can break. Granted its mainly disney stuff that added this to cortosis but still thats what it is. Show is still terrible though
Here's the problem. IF that's what it is, then it's from legends. Which is not cannon anymore. So IF they're going to reintroduce it, they need a set up for it first. Explain it before or mention it right then with a full explanation later. NOT in a later episode.
This is merely a coincidence. It is us, the viewers, drawing conclusions that just aren't there. I'm pretty sure the Leslie Fivehead doesn't have the slightest clue what cortosis really is AND I doubt that Filoni had really anything to do with this show.
"The Jedi do not attack the unarmed"...boy, i get the drunk bully in Mos Eisley that Obi-Wan quite literally disarmed would have loved to know about that particular rule.
Not that we cared about too many characters, but who’s left to even care about now? Only Sal. Is LH going to bring everyone back through the Force now?
2:42 correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t think we’ve ever seen anybody throw a light saber at long range as a way to deal damage, the most I can recall is people using the force to spin the saber around them but not physically throwing it like captain america
I share in your disdain. I thought the sith was extinct. Why do they keep rewriting the lore??? Jedis are not smart at all especially Jedi Masters. Don't worry I bet the two sisters will I have a redemption arc and destroy the sith.
My guess is Mae and Osha will both end up somehow defeating the Sith dude. It’s anyone’s guess on how it leads up to that bc they change how the characters feel/act every 5 seconds. But it’ll somehow end with them beating him and hugging and loving each other despite the fact that they didn’t really even like each other as kids
Wait I want a light butter knife. It'd finally settle the argument of keeping your butter in the fridge or on the counter, and it can toast the bread too.
"Have you forgotten who we are?" "No. You're the dumb emotionally volatile bint who used my journal to try and burn me alive in a room you didn't know if I could escape from!" "... In my defence, I didn't know stone could burn."
I'd like to remind everybody that George Lucas allowed this to happen because he was so pissed at being criticised over the prequels that he opted to side with bob iger saying Making Star Wars is not something amateurs (im paraphrasing here) can do. 🤪
Jedi would probably have a "reasonable person" standard for the use of deadly force. After all, some of those folks on the Death Star were probably just cooks and janitors.
A little girl stuck with a Sith Lord but struggle with Mae. Make it make sense. A kung fu fight broke out in the middle of a light saber fight. This show is so convoluted it’s making my head hurt.
His helmet & gauntlet are made of Cortosis. Beskar doesn’t short circuit lightsabers. Remember how Moff Gideon struck Mando from behind and it glanced off but kept ignited?
Darth Twinkies, armor and hamlet is made of a special metal, if a lightsaber hit it, the blade is disrupted for several minutes, this is shit, the metal is called cortosis,
@ValliantRenegade Cortosis is from the EU. Before the rat, it's super rare and hard to make into armor. There is a watered-down, but having around is yes stupid

So in the prequel trilogy only two Jedi handle most of the heavy lifting for everyone but Hackolyte sends a whole fellowship against one “Sith” and gets decimated? Huh??

@@michaelfields7088 "We’ve already agreed that having information about the future can be extremely dangerous. Even if your intentions are good, they could backfire drastically." ~ Doc Brown, Back to the Future
We all have to admit that the lightsaber fighting was the best we’ve seen since Disney took over the franchise. It was very reminiscent of the prequels and how the Jedi used to fight. The choreography was really good: frantic, fast and vicious. I wonder how people would have viewed the show if they started the series with this lightsaber fight and then before the Jedi (that we knew) were cut down they went back in time and then started with how they did in episode 1…and then ending back here in episode 5? Also I’m glad they made the Sith guy powerful and a force to be reckoned with. All we’ve gotten from Disney was Kylo Ren, the older Jedi in Ahsoka and they fought sloooow. I see why they got the actress from Logan. She’s very athletic. It seems that Daisy Ridley, Rasario Dawson and the Sabine actress were not athletic at all and were really bad fighting with lightsabers. Young Ahsoka did so well and these actors were really good in their duels. Too bad so much faith has been lost by the fan community. This episode was good but the series has been abysmal so far. It shows that KK and all the showrunners truly do not understand what makes Star Wars so popular. Also Lucasfilm writers really suck at writing female roles. Mae is just the worst. Just unlikable as a human being.
That metal is not Beksar. It is called Cortosis. It is super rare and is kind of like Star Wars' Vibranium. It absorbs energy and shorts out lightsabers for a short time. Actually learned that from Theory last night. He knew right away what it was lol.
Disney doesn't seem to get that Star Wars was extremely profitable because of its extraordinarily high quality, meaning fans have sky-high expectations for the franchise. You can't stick a Star Wars label on a "just average" product without disappointing the fanbase which you paid $4 billion to acquire. Disappointment will turn into apathy when your quality slides from "just average" to "abysmal", especially if you double down by trying to gaslight viewers into believing the quality is higher than ever. All that is needed to turn apathy into active mockery is to insult your audience by labeling them in offensive terms and implying that they are not as refined as the people in the studio.
It used to be called homing beacon, now it's called "tracker fob" that's just a instance of somthing they really didn't need to change BUT WENT OUTTA THEIR WAY TO CHANGE, PUT ENERGY INTO CHANGING IT, like what the heck!!!!
The real mystery would be, who trained Discount Ezra Miller to be so strong with a lightsaber ? The Sith were strong because they had millennia to train, each apprentice aiming to become stronger than his Master and then kill him, or be killed/replaced if not strong enough. And even then, Obi Wan defeated two of them, Yoda and Mace Windu each defeated one, so they were not invincible. So how can this person be strong enough to kill ten Jedi by himself and be like the strongest Sith evar.
So discount Ezra broke space a time when he let himself out of the trap, ran to Koknauchkha's hut, fought him in a lightsaber battle and won, before Mae could walk the last five minutes? Also, when did Jedi stop being able to detect the Force being used?
It always seemed ridiculously obvious to me Smilo Ren most likely killed Kelnacca when he was out "getting water" for Mae -- and she was clumsily setting up her trap. Smilo wouldn't even need his mask since he clearly outclasses a single Jedi...
remember the leaked star wars episode 7 potential premise of a "jedi killer" and they were going to hire hugo weaving? i wonder if kennedy just gave her the script for that and had hedland DEI it up which is why the amandla twin characters seem so shoehorned in and out of place when the focus should be on this helmet-wearing guy going around killing jedi, which is already out of place because they probably put a potential sequel story into prequel era
Dark Helmut is laughing. "Evil always wins because good is stupid." They brought the joke to life. They must be Spaceballs fans. They certainly aren't Star Wars fans.
What I would've done as the director, well, besides make something that's average at best is, this: When Jekki is fighting the Sith, have him completely overpower her, if Mae didn't just decide to go easy on her since she's a kid. Then, I'd either have him take her to wherever Sol is and kill her in front of him. Or, kill Jekki beforehand and drop off her corpse at Sol's feet.

Don't worry in Disney Starwars everyone either heals from light sabres or becomes ghosts that can move shit.
"can cut through trees but not a wookie"
That depends on how many force bars of reception you have, its on the light sabers screen, next to the battery icon
Not defending this shit and haven't, nor will I, watched this episode. BUT I don't think his armor is made of Beskarr. It is exhibting the traits of Cortossis. Which is a different anti-lightsaber material from the EU. It has the ability to short circuit a lightsaber breifly, like when he backhanded the padawans saber off. Of course it would do that every time it came in contact with a lightsaber not when the director thought it would. Also Cortossis was notoriously brittle, so the padawan breaking it with her elbow COULD be accurate.
Still shit.
Yeah thats a disney star wars comic book thing I found out after
@@ValliantRenegade Not a Disney comic thing. It existed before hand but still. That looked like comepletey crap. Thanks for watching it so we don't have to.
@@wicolibut it functioned differently in the old EU. They updated it later in Disney materials
@@exomake_mehorololo Oh. Never read any Disney comics so I had no clue about that.
I think the "true" mystery of the show will be how most of the women end up having to triumph despite seeming to face no real hardships or injustices that would warrant a justified victory.?
It almost senseless how idiotic the writing and character directions for both Osha and Mae have become, so effortless and pathetic!
Its Kathy’s Lucasfilm
Disney has caused the creation of new error codes.
PEBWAC: Problem Exists Between Writers And Cannon.
5H1T error: a qualitative failure error.
So they weren't happy with just obliterating Lukes's legacy but they also decided they needed to have an earlier version Ashoka & her twin blades for good measure this show sucks
Twin blades have been used for a long time. Sith Marauders used twin blades long before Soka.
Love how the rat Jedi died three punctures,,with a sith technique (saber ignition attack) ,,,,not that the show runners had a clue
Jecki NEVER should have survived that long.
@@ValliantRenegadeagreed she should have died off screen instead of the wookie lol
@@ValliantRenegade Two possible in-universe explanations - Smilo was playing with her or he was somewhat tired at that point. Real explanations - the writers are amateurs. But she'll be fine next week, since she a girl and only got stabbed with a lightsaber. It's not what it used to be ;)
That's the whole point Valliant. Sci-fi and fantasy only work story-wise if they follow a set of rules. Force Awakens completely threw those 'rules' out the window, yet fans gave Disney 2 billion for their efforts. Disney saw that as a green light, and just continued giving the fans crap. Then they put a SW label on it, and let them fight over it.
How, how did this get on tv?? Thanks for watching it for us!
Mae actually got schooled by everyone she’s fought except rando bar patrons. Trinity would have won easily except for the “save the bartender or yourself” cheat. So it’s not really a surprise that Jecki whipped her.
That said, it was utterly ridiculous that the Sith didn’t cut her down with the same ease as the others, if not more so.
To play devils advocate for the helmet thing it's most likely cortosis not beskar, which was literally only good for temporarily disabling lightsabers, or taking a couple blaster shots the biggest disadvantage is that it's usually pretty fragile unless refined and struggles with constant energy attacks and can break.
Granted its mainly disney stuff that added this to cortosis but still thats what it is.
Show is still terrible though
Here's the problem.
IF that's what it is, then it's from legends. Which is not cannon anymore.
So IF they're going to reintroduce it, they need a set up for it first. Explain it before or mention it right then with a full explanation later. NOT in a later episode.
This is merely a coincidence. It is us, the viewers, drawing conclusions that just aren't there. I'm pretty sure the Leslie Fivehead doesn't have the slightest clue what cortosis really is AND I doubt that Filoni had really anything to do with this show.
"The Jedi do not attack the unarmed"...boy, i get the drunk bully in Mos Eisley that Obi-Wan quite literally disarmed would have loved to know about that particular rule.
9:10 Disney is definitely giving Amazon a run for its money if they want to top this series as the worst show in this decade lol… smh
Rings of Power season 2: Hold my beer
Bob Iger, Kathleen Kennedy, and Dave Bologna approved this schlock.
Not that we cared about too many characters, but who’s left to even care about now? Only Sal. Is LH going to bring everyone back through the Force now?
The Acolyte is proof of what you get when you give a bunch of children, Crayons, paper, and time to doodle...
A show for everyone is a show for no one
2:42 correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t think we’ve ever seen anybody throw a light saber at long range as a way to deal damage, the most I can recall is people using the force to spin the saber around them but not physically throwing it like captain america
I share in your disdain. I thought the sith was extinct. Why do they keep rewriting the lore??? Jedis are not smart at all especially Jedi Masters. Don't worry I bet the two sisters will I have a redemption arc and destroy the sith.
OHSA/May will kill off the Sith & become the new Sith/Head Witch of a new Coven. Firmly placing Force Witch's into 'modern' lore.
My guess is Mae and Osha will both end up somehow defeating the Sith dude. It’s anyone’s guess on how it leads up to that bc they change how the characters feel/act every 5 seconds. But it’ll somehow end with them beating him and hugging and loving each other despite the fact that they didn’t really even like each other as kids
Now we'll get Leslye's wife being the only jedi capable of logical thought... 😂😂😂😂
Darth gimp should have a force gag instead if a force choke
Lightsaber haircuts with no smell of burnt hair. New lightsaber setting - "trim."
We all need a good Jedi barber.
Next I'm sure they'll introduce the light saber butter knife.
Wait I want a light butter knife. It'd finally settle the argument of keeping your butter in the fridge or on the counter, and it can toast the bread too.
"Have you forgotten who we are?"
"No. You're the dumb emotionally volatile bint who used my journal to try and burn me alive in a room you didn't know if I could escape from!"
"... In my defence, I didn't know stone could burn."
I'd like to remind everybody that George Lucas allowed this to happen because he was so pissed at being criticised over the prequels that he opted to side with bob iger saying Making Star Wars is not something amateurs (im paraphrasing here) can do. 🤪
As a character said in Red Dwarf once said, "It appears my Intelligence circuits have melted."
Jedi would probably have a "reasonable person" standard for the use of deadly force. After all, some of those folks on the Death Star were probably just cooks and janitors.
A little girl stuck with a Sith Lord but struggle with Mae. Make it make sense. A kung fu fight broke out in the middle of a light saber fight. This show is so convoluted it’s making my head hurt.
Force weilding wookie...nope lets kill that idea in the first 5 secs.
His helmet & gauntlet are made of Cortosis. Beskar doesn’t short circuit lightsabers. Remember how Moff Gideon struck Mando from behind and it glanced off but kept ignited?
Darth Twinkies, armor and hamlet is made of a special metal, if a lightsaber hit it, the blade is disrupted for several minutes, this is shit, the metal is called cortosis,
Disney star wars comic book bullshi
@ValliantRenegade Cortosis is from the EU. Before the rat, it's super rare and hard to make into armor. There is a watered-down, but having around is yes stupid
@@Adamwofford Here's the problem.
IF that's what it is, then it's from legends. Which is not cannon anymore.

In the EU it didn't function like that. They changed how it works @@Adamwofford
@@ValliantRenegade No it’s from a 1998 Star Wars Book, surprised your not familiar with the infamous Cortosis Gauntlet.
So in the prequel trilogy only two Jedi handle most of the heavy lifting for everyone but Hackolyte sends a whole fellowship against one “Sith” and gets decimated? Huh??
I would love to go back in time to the year 1985 and have a binge watch with younger self of a future Star Wars production called The Acolyte. Im sure my younger self would be very excited to watch.
….sarcasm?
@@ValliantRenegade Sorta. I just want to get a time machine, find my younger self and say, "Wanna watch Star Wars in the future?" And my younger self will be so excited to watch it. I used to like everything when I was a kid but I wonder if Disney Star Wars could break me.

We all have to admit that the lightsaber fighting was the best we’ve seen since Disney took over the franchise. It was very reminiscent of the prequels and how the Jedi used to fight. The choreography was really good: frantic, fast and vicious. I wonder how people would have viewed the show if they started the series with this lightsaber fight and then before the Jedi (that we knew) were cut down they went back in time and then started with how they did in episode 1…and then ending back here in episode 5?
Also I’m glad they made the Sith guy powerful and a force to be reckoned with. All we’ve gotten from Disney was Kylo Ren, the older Jedi in Ahsoka and they fought sloooow.
I see why they got the actress from Logan. She’s very athletic. It seems that Daisy Ridley, Rasario Dawson and the Sabine actress were not athletic at all and were really bad fighting with lightsabers. Young Ahsoka did so well and these actors were really good in their duels. Too bad so much faith has been lost by the fan community. This episode was good but the series has been abysmal so far. It shows that KK and all the showrunners truly do not understand what makes Star Wars so popular. Also Lucasfilm writers really suck at writing female roles. Mae is just the worst. Just unlikable as a human being.
This episode in one word is girl power
Its lame girl power. girl power is Ellen Ripley having a Mom moment and destroying an alien queen
I agree with your general point, but "girl power" is two words. Were you practicing "girl math"? Hehe. ;)
@@TorontoJon forgot becuse the episode was so stupid
@@animeguy2099, hahaha! No worries, man. I was dumbfounded by this episode too (not to mention the other episodes). ;)
That metal is not Beksar. It is called Cortosis. It is super rare and is kind of like Star Wars' Vibranium. It absorbs energy and shorts out lightsabers for a short time. Actually learned that from Theory last night. He knew right away what it was lol.
The Yord Horde has been no-mored
Alas poor Yord, I knew him Horatio
Disney doesn't seem to get that Star Wars was extremely profitable because of its extraordinarily high quality, meaning fans have sky-high expectations for the franchise. You can't stick a Star Wars label on a "just average" product without disappointing the fanbase which you paid $4 billion to acquire. Disappointment will turn into apathy when your quality slides from "just average" to "abysmal", especially if you double down by trying to gaslight viewers into believing the quality is higher than ever. All that is needed to turn apathy into active mockery is to insult your audience by labeling them in offensive terms and implying that they are not as refined as the people in the studio.
I hate the "everything is dark so we can hide set flaws" style of modern film.
they are doing the parent trap...😂
Yeah but infinitely worse
Hayley Mills was charming. Amandla is revolting.
"I'm rooting for the Sith, in this show."
Count me in
$22.5 million per episode, right?...
I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm actually looking forward to Skeleton Crew.
You may be the only one 🤪
It used to be called homing beacon, now it's called "tracker fob" that's just a instance of somthing they really didn't need to change BUT WENT OUTTA THEIR WAY TO CHANGE, PUT ENERGY INTO CHANGING IT, like what the heck!!!!
I'm subdone with this.
Alot of these writers dont know about powerscaling
Thanks for watching this garbage so I don't have to 🍻
This shit is killing me lolol
The real mystery would be, who trained Discount Ezra Miller to be so strong with a lightsaber ? The Sith were strong because they had millennia to train, each apprentice aiming to become stronger than his Master and then kill him, or be killed/replaced if not strong enough. And even then, Obi Wan defeated two of them, Yoda and Mace Windu each defeated one, so they were not invincible. So how can this person be strong enough to kill ten Jedi by himself and be like the strongest Sith evar.
So discount Ezra broke space a time when he let himself out of the trap, ran to Koknauchkha's hut, fought him in a lightsaber battle and won, before Mae could walk the last five minutes? Also, when did Jedi stop being able to detect the Force being used?
It always seemed ridiculously obvious to me Smilo Ren most likely killed Kelnacca when he was out "getting water" for Mae -- and she was clumsily setting up her trap.
Smilo wouldn't even need his mask since he clearly outclasses a single Jedi...
Someone totally different wrote this episode and said : Fuk continuity, i don't care what happened in episode 1.
remember the leaked star wars episode 7 potential premise of a "jedi killer" and they were going to hire hugo weaving? i wonder if kennedy just gave her the script for that and had hedland DEI it up which is why the amandla twin characters seem so shoehorned in and out of place when the focus should be on this helmet-wearing guy going around killing jedi, which is already out of place because they probably put a potential sequel story into prequel era
Dark Helmut is laughing.
"Evil always wins because good is stupid."
They brought the joke to life.
They must be Spaceballs fans. They certainly aren't Star Wars fans.
What I would've done as the director, well, besides make something that's average at best is, this: When Jekki is fighting the Sith, have him completely overpower her, if Mae didn't just decide to go easy on her since she's a kid. Then, I'd either have him take her to wherever Sol is and kill her in front of him. Or, kill Jekki beforehand and drop off her corpse at Sol's feet.
Lightsaber across the leg: Obi goes down. Lightsaber across the leg with Disney. He's fine.
The only thing I’m surprised about this is there was anyone still watching it to see the “big” reveal.
Bottom line is Disney thinks we’re stupid
