But this outpost’s staff being bad at their job is consistent with the show’s theme that the Jedi are starting to get complacent and slides towards their reduced influence/capabilities/being standoffish with normal citizens and seeing the spread of unsavory elements in the Galaxy come the Prequel Trilogy/Clone Wars.
The cancellation of the show is due to how intensely vehement (towards the show) were its haters. And not because the show didn't have a massive support... I really loved the show (and I really am not alone to feel that way ; many people did), especially the whole experience of it, the way it expands the lore and explores certain specific themes... Some of the episodes truly are deep and/or powerful on various levels... It has some iconic moments. Sure it's not perfect (btw, nothing and nobody is), but I sincerely think that it brings a lot of diverse new stuffs to the Star Wars shared cinematic universe... I respect people who didn't like it, because : different people, different strokes. But for some reason I haven't met any hater of the show who respected me or anyone who loves the show ; insulting our intelligence as if you automatically have to be brainless in order to find this series interesting and valuable... I think that the story presented in the series has a lot of sensibility in the way it is treated and told, and that it subtly shows fascinating sides/aspects of the force and of the Star Wars universe... A different take/approach about something we think we know, but in fact there always are different ways to look at things and develop stories to delve into.
if the show had massive support it would've gotten views, made money and been renewed. most people who watched the show quickly realized how poor the writing and characterization were and tuned out of watching it, and you can't blame em. bad reviews did not kill the show, bad writing did.
@@skultson You came up with your opinions as if they were facts... I did not even have to read your comment in order to know in what direction it was gonna go. 😉 You talk as if the extreme majority of people think the exact same way as you do, but... It's not the case. There obviously are many people who hated it. But, sorry in advance (because you don't want to hear that and are in complete deny of that, because you are totally unable to imagine that it is the case) : many people loved the show.

@@CarlLepeltier my opinion? ok lol, the show had the LOWEST VIEWS OF ANY STAR WARS SHOW, that isn't an opinion it's a FACT and if you look at the views by episode people quickly dropped off the show after the first few episodes. you can deny FACTS if you want but it doesn't change REALITY. also Andor was good but i agree it could've been shorter, but unlike acolyte it's getting a season 2 because more people actually liked it. :)
I was one of the few who weren't already calling it bad after those two episodes. I found it stupid to already hate it. It was until episode 5 that I didn't give up hope. Torbin, a Jedi, killing himself, is definitely the biggest red flag about the show so far. But just with every other mystery the show built up I was willing to wait how they explain all of it, including how bad the thing Torbin did must have been. I'm interested to see what you think about his reason, and if it aligns with my opinion
I haven't watched the show so these reactions will be my way of "watching" it since it'll be mostly highlights Before anyone hops onto assumptions- I didn't watch it because I needed a break from these Marvel and Star Wars shows for a bit and as I went to give it a try it was getting it's review bombs so I didn't bother. I wish Disney Star Wars was better but I don't hate it; Force Awakens = safe but solid start Rogue One = great Last Jedi = the opening scene just didn't feel right and then the rest started the dumpster fire Solo = I find very underrated even if it "wasn't needed" Rise of Skywalker = working with the poor writing you were given and no Anakin made me wanna find a youngling Mando = 1&2 are great, 3 is poodoo Clone Wars finale and BB = great Andor = great BoBF = coulda been better Kenobi = had parts I didn't like but I didn't hate the show Definitely missing something but these r my opinions and sorry for the length if anyone reads
I think this one holds up okay, it's similar to episode 1. The Acolyte had the worst viewership from all live action star wars streaming series, cancellation is smart business decision here, giving 180m $ budget for this? hell no.
Guess what? The review bombing still happened, and no matter if it affected Disneys decision to renew it or not, writing a bad review about a show before it even aired is still a very shitty thing to do:D
No it got canceled. They paid for the season 1 episodes up front. They canceled any plans for future episodes, the show is dead, the show has been canceled, that's what the word canceled means, it's canceled.
BOBF's possible second season got the same treatment, as far as everyone knows. Neither were officially axed by Lucasfilm or the mouse, though. There was also similar insider info about Andor being initially planned for five seasons, but it got cut down to three seasons after the production of the first one wrapped, and then finally down to just two after its airing due to low viewership.
i really enjoyed this show and im glad you do too and you enjoying it really shows one of the things i love abt this channel so much which is that you are someone who simply loves movies and tv and youre not gonna change or fake your opinions to appeal to people, even your audience, which i cant say for most reaction channels and it makes your videos so much more enjoyable, i hope you plan on continuing to react to things for a long time
I mean, easy protein and some of the flavors are really good but just know every flavor I’ve tried is REALLY sweet and they have a decent amount of sugar so if you’re okay with that I’d say try it!
Glad you're continuing with this one!! I understand the hesitance to watch shows you already know have been canceled, but in today's world, shows are getting canceled left and right regardless of quality. If you avoid all of them, you're gonna miss out on some pretty great (if short) series. There are a lot of fans campaigning to save their favorite shows, and I'm really hoping at least some of them succeed!
I go into any Star Wars only hoping to be entertained. I think this series was entertaining. It’s not the best but it’s also not the worst in my opinion.
This is where the show really started to lose me. While the fight was fun there were a lot of head scratching. Torbins timeline dosen't make sense (you'll see later), there's not a good enough reason for him to take the poison given. Why did sue need to break in when she can come and go as she pleases via the skylight? If the Jedi sensed someone came there why didnt they secure the skylight? "How the F did she get here first?" Exactly, if they thought him in danger why did they take the long way. They have alot of head scratching parts that feel like they weren't paying attention to details and takes me out of it. I do apprentice the talk about not thinking she was still so angry. They want you to feel like the Jedi did some shit. "There's alot of stuff that doesn't add up." Most of it never does.
Respect you for letting your own judgment affect your opinion on the show. I think it got hated more than it should but I also don’t care that it got cancelled lol
Primate, just remember this with this show. When the trailer dropped to give us a sneak peak, when it got its for 100K likes, it also had 600K dislikes. Because by then it was known that the show creator was a lesbian and people were literally complaining in the comment section that the actors/actresses were DEI hires and that Disney hates white people. As you may notice that most of the hires are people of color and that unfortunately bothers a certain group of people. Before it aired its first episode, people were already determined to hate it. It's a shame that politics now dominates everywhere you go in 2024; sports, entertainment, etc. That wasn't the case a decade ago. I'd argue that if this show came out in 2014 rather than 2024, it would have been much more well received. I'm glad you're watching the series. It actually does connect to Episode I: The Phantom Menace. Those are spoilers right now, but when you finally see those moments, we'll be there to fill you in, in case you need it. 😀
people coping that the show is good is so funny so hard to understand people dislike this show because it is trash, have to have some agenda like because director is lesiban or whatever, or because cast is colorful lol
@@vert2552 Doesn't change the fact that people decided the show was going to be trash before it aired its first episode and called it woke when the trailer dropped.
@@Phatooine no, trailer was terrible, and this was not first intruduction to disney star wars. It's hard to be positive and hopeful when pretty much every single thing released by them screamed woke, bad writing and 'we hate star wars', so it was not hard to hate this from start. And tbh after first episode people did not hate that much at the time, many opinions were just "meh", real hate started with episode 3.... and i'm using word of hate because it seems almost every fan of this show gathered here uses it for "having negative opinion about this"
@@Phatooine the heck you go on and on about white people. you should work on your complexes man. woke is just a term. there are many things behind it. It is not one spcific thing but whole ideology of pushing "modern" take on everything there is. "you people" jesus man, seriously see therapist or smth
The show has not been officially canceled by Lucas film. There’s been no word from Disney or Lucas film about that. This was reported on Deadline with no sources and then was picked up by other outlets.
The main actor was literally trashing on white people and spewing demented woke idiocy. Her acting was also 100 times worse than Hayden christensen's ever was, and the story was dog shit. Shows not coming back, whatever. Deal with it
@@skultson And yet there has been no official word from Lucasfilm about it at all. There was a time when Andor was not officially picked up for a second season either, yet it ended up being renewed. Something similar could happen with The Acolyte. Just because it hasn’t been been renewed YET doesn’t mean that it won’t be renewed eventually. It took them a while to announce season two of Andor and it hasn’t been that long since The Acolyte aired.

Better Call Sol
🤣
The Jedi with the orange stripes on her face is the little girl Wolverine from Logan!
Things I thought the episode did well:
- I’ve been a fan of Manny Jacinto (Qimir) since The Good Place and I’m happy whenever I see him in other projects. As is, he’s easily one of the best characters/actors on the show.
- Sol vs Mae was another fun fight, and I like how effortlessly he handles her for most of the confrontation. It's satisfying considering how annoying her character is.
- The Jedi Outpost idea from the High Republic books/comics is one I liked because it was a good way to show that at one point the Jedi Order was closer and more constant presence across the Galaxy (not just the Core) and in the lives the members of the Republic they’re supposed to serve. But this outpost’s staff being bad at their job is consistent with the show’s theme that the Jedi are starting to get complacent and slides towards their reduced influence/capabilities/being standoffish with normal citizens and seeing the spread of unsavory elements in the Galaxy come the Prequel Trilogy/Clone Wars.

Sure it's not perfect (btw, nothing and nobody is), but I sincerely think that it brings a lot of diverse new stuffs to the Star Wars shared cinematic universe...
I respect people who didn't like it, because : different people, different strokes.

I wish Disney Star Wars was better but I don't hate it;
Force Awakens = safe but solid start
Rogue One = great
Last Jedi = the opening scene just didn't feel right and then the rest started the dumpster fire
Solo = I find very underrated even if it "wasn't needed"
Rise of Skywalker = working with the poor writing you were given and no Anakin made me wanna find a youngling
Mando = 1&2 are great, 3 is poodoo
Clone Wars finale and BB = great
Andor = great
BoBF = coulda been better
Kenobi = had parts I didn't like but I didn't hate the show
Definitely missing something but these r my opinions and sorry for the length if anyone reads
Tales of the Jedi = great
Tales of the Empire = Bariss' story just was not good imo
Also I loved Ahsoka tbh
I think this one holds up okay, it's similar to episode 1.
The Acolyte had the worst viewership from all live action star wars streaming series, cancellation is smart business decision here, giving 180m $ budget for this? hell no.

Well technically the Clone Wars was cancelled as well, before they eventually brought it back years later for S7.
So waiting for season 2?
Except that wasn't woke dog shit
BOBF's possible second season got the same treatment, as far as everyone knows. Neither were officially axed by Lucasfilm or the mouse, though.

Can’t wait for episodes 4 and 5, such a goated set of episodes
Quick question about the Oates over night, would you recommend that overall? Been looking at it for a while😂😂
I mean, easy protein and some of the flavors are really good but just know every flavor I’ve tried is REALLY sweet and they have a decent amount of sugar so if you’re okay with that I’d say try it!
@@ItsAPrimatee interesting…. Thanks for reply 🐐🐐
The only Disney Star Wars show that I actually liked was Obi-Wan and Mandalorian. I am burnt out of Disney Star Wars so Idek if I’ll watch this
fun show, had enough good that it would've been fun to see more
Jabba would be roughly 468 at this point
Please keep watching the show, I really think you will enjoy it, maybe not love it but it’s a fun ride regardless
They canceled season 2 like when they canceled the solo sequel bc of tlj
