So ..... Are you saying .... ADAM READ THE BOOKS 🤣
SHOCKER!!!
*push glasses up with anime shine
well Star Wars especially the OG Thrawn Trilogy got him into reading
@TK_Brainslug Dr. Seuss was probably the 1st thing that got him into reading.
@@TK_Brainslugyeah but that was when the books were actually worth reading
I think we're all kind of in that strange space of "I don't know what exactly I was expecting, so I don't know if this trailer is what I should have been expecting, and so I don't know if I'm disappointed or not."
That's why I don't go into any of these shows/movies expecting anything; if I'm not gonna like it, I'd rather not like it because of what it is rather than what it isn't. I've seen FAR too many fandoms turn on a franchise simply because they wanted things to go one way and the franchise went another; the way the franchise went isn't bad, but the fandom got themselves so hyped for something else that now they automatically hate what was done.
That's kinda valid.
I see a lot of people bashing this because they didn’t get enough in the trailer 😂…Star Wars fans gatekeepers are the worse just watch the 2 episode then judge from there.
Why are you expecting something to begin with? This hype culture is a ride or die trend. Either the project skyrockets or it bombs completely. There's no more "medium" and fans don't use their brains most of the time. Not everything has to be super, not everything has to be what we expect. And that's okay. We don't enjoy TV or cinema anymore
It's all just empty hype. Most of the people complaining are not even fans, ..they are just riding a wave of popular opinions.
IT'S. A. TEASER. What exactly do you want.
Anyone else waiting for them to realize that the main gentleman, Lee Jung-jae from squid games is in this? Can't wait to see him in something new
Do you mean from like an American/western media perspective? Because in Asian/Korean media he's a legit legend and has been huge for decades lol
@@nikkinzy no just from previewed since they watched squid game
They make better movies where he's from. This is a downgrade for him but he should get paid at least
You know what would have made this trailer better? TWO TORNADOES.
WE GOT TWINS!!! 🌪🌪
If disney wasn't behind it.
Mickey mouse being violated
"Lightsabers aren't enough."
"Grievous feels conflicted."
"Look at history, you realize it's all inevitable. The fall of the Jedi, rise of the Empire. It repeats again and again and again."
A bery apt quote for this show.
I haven't looked it up, but I assume this is old Republic era. Is it pre-Malgus/Revan??
I believe it is set 100 years before A New Hope.
Yes, that is why I think science-fiction like Perry Rhodan is far better than Star Wars... To me it seems Star Wars just doesn't have much to tell. Good vs evil can only entertain for so long.
I should add that any plot can go mysterious ways, so to speak, therefore there's potential in pretty much any story on the surface.
The vibes I got from it is like this murder mystery that snowballs into this conflict between the Jedi and the Sith. I think it'll be about how the Sith infiltrated the Republic and the Senate.
I don't know how they will reconcile that with "the Sith have been extinct for a millenia"
@@josiahferrell5022 My guess is they'll be called Dark Jedi and not actually the true Sith, even though they are.
Either that or the Sith kill every single Jedi investigating them.
@@josiahferrell5022most likely Yoda just covered everything up and told the council of the prequels that everything is ok.
@@xjoemallardx Yoda doesn't strike me as being the kind of person to cover up a disaster. If they imply that he did that, it will probably feel weird to me.
Haha I like when people get mad when The Trailer shows too much and then they get frustrated when the trailer doesn't show enough
Totally agree, it's sad. But what's good about it is, we are in an era where it's new and nothing to say oh this has to happen right now or later. This is new area
Trailers are sho meaningless to the final product because they rarely are set up to show things in sequence or in some cases, they show things that aren’t even in the show, it’s an introduction, not the full story or film. It’s meant to garner interest, anyone who gets upset by a trailer just strikes me as jumping the gun before it’s even loaded.
I get what you're saying. It sucks to see the Jedi lose and lose and lose. Even when they win, it seems like they had to lose everything in order to win. I don't know what all is happening in this story, but my guess is that, by the end, the Jedi will win, but it will come at a huge price that will foreshadow their eventual fall, and frankly, that story seems to be all they ever tell us of the Jedi. I mean, it might surprise me, but I doubt it. So Adam, I'm right there with you.
I think it's not actually about not showing enough, but more about not giving us an specific vibe. For example, the teaser for Andor doesn't tell you anything about the story but it makes very clear what type of show you can expect.
@@Gabi-ub8mdInteresting, because the first reactions I watched today talked about how they liked the tone that was being set. Of course, they seemed to like that it would have some darkness to it.
To be fair, it is the first live action project in the High Republic era so one thing that’s nice is literally anything can happen. We aren’t reliant finally on characters that have to have certain arcs. Of course Yoda was around during this time but it’s not like he’s a focal point, so it’s nice to have some disconnect and we will see the Jedi at not only their prime but also during the time they were most cocky. This could make for some really good storytelling especially depending on our main character’s perspective
Yeah until the shoehorn in Revan or Nihlius which is 100% gonna happen 🤣
@@MrHiddenSaintRevan is long dead by this point. You're confusing the Old Republic with the High Republic. The High Republic is hundreds of years before The Phantom Menace. The Old Republic, when Revan was around, is tens of thousands of years before The Phantom Menace.
@@MrHiddenSaint if anything, Dagan Gera could very well show up. Along with Rayvis.
@@hdns4 The Knights of the Old Republic games took place 4 thousand years before the original movies.
@@browncoat13Yes, meaning Revan is long dead, as I said.
"Someone is killing Jedi"
It's a murder mystery set in a time when killing Jedi was unheard of. It actually sounds intriguing.
Not when the director is ,well, her
@@mikedavila7837yeah, if she won’t ruin it with her woke ideas and bullshit, it could be interesting 🤷
She will ruin it, how have you guys not learned this by now
Well she is a star wars fan herself who picked some really good directors for the show and a writer with a fresh take so not to tell the same kind of story we’ve had a million times before. But yea we already know just from a trailer that it’s bad right?
@@mathewwright4129 it's gonna be the same woke bs audiences have already gotten tired of. What makes you believe in any of the crap u just spewed
I thoroughly don't understand this reaction lol but love you guys
Adam said he wanted see a show where the Jedi are winning all the time but isn’t that what the era of the High Republic is all about? His complaints about the story are like “I want to watch a show where the good guys win despite the fact it’s basically called the rise of the Sith” 😂😂😂
I think Adam was having a blonde moment 😂 the overwhelming hint about where the show is going is in the title. If it was about the good guys winning then it would’ve been called the Padawan 🤔
As a fan of THR books and comics, it's exciting to see this era in live action. It's definitely an era where they're "the good guys," but there are always threats to that, in some way or another. That's what Jedi do, they keep fighting even IF they're losing. Although, I agree that the grimdark trend is a lot and SW doesn't always need to try to please the people who want things to be more ambigious.
On another note, there is a really excellent issue of Star Wars 2020 (#20) where Luke speaks to a High Republic Jedi about what it means to be a Jedi when it looks/feels so dim and hopeless. It's really lovely, and I think Adam would enjoy it.
"Light Sabers are not enough" - The most accurate reaction to this trailer! 🤣
I think one just needs to look at it as a teaser trailer, because that's really what it is (regardless of what it's labeled as). It leaves us wanting more- we want to know more of the story, etc. This one was more about the setting, initial setup, and giving us a taste of the more wushu-style action.
There'll no doubt be a second, full trailer in May (probably for May the 4th activities) that will spill the beans on the over-arching plot.
GUYS, freeze-frame at 55 seconds in… is that PLO MF KOON at the bottom right…. OMFGGGG
who cares..its gonna be shit
How old is he?
@@joshbourne9679 He dies at the age of 385 according to google
@@aflodesignsWhat a delightful individual you are.
@@KatiE-yp8hbwell damn it actually could be him then
My hope for this series is that we get to see the Jedi at the height of their benevolent influence and values, and the beginnings of their movement towards the political intrigue we see in Phantom Menace, but I agree that the trailer didn't give a great sense of what we can expect.
"Lightsabers aren't enough? OK ... but how about EIGHT lightsabers?"
There's some Star Wars fans that are like, "Yes light sabers!" That's why they didn't like Andor. But then that's why some people didn't like Andor cause there NO light sabers. I'm more of an Andor fan 100% but I can't get mad at light sabers. I hope it's better than Obi-Wan
I am happy to see Yellow bladed sabers ! But I wanna see where this story is going and I am a huge fan of Andor !
i thought obiwan was very good tbh. the flashbacks, seeing vaders power, the emotion in kenobi vs vader and qui gon. i dont understand the hate for it
@@zanescalia The issue was literally everything around those moments you mentioned. The plot was horseshit
@@zanescalia I didn't hate it, I just thought it was going to be better and hope Acolyte is. Now Boba Fett... the less said the better
@@zanescaliabecause it was dogshit and character assassination. Raise your standards.
First time seeing a yellow lightsaber in live action???? uuuuuuh REYYYYYY??? HELLO?
Anything past episode 6 doesn't exist to me. It's a seperate universe. One where the story sucks.
@kotabear6556 whether you consider it canon or not, it's still a yellow lightsaber in live action.
I am aware Rey exists.
I still accept what Adam says as what should be true.
@BrainCakeProductions we haven't seen a yellow Saber in action yet though, just Rey holding it up really
Rey can force time travel, so it's very possible she is in the show.
So hype to see Trinity as a Jedi!
Easily pleased
I would argue that we are living right now in prime Star Wars content... you are allowed to be critical but I believe they have now earned some slack.
"This is about power, and who is allowed to use it." They told us right there what the story is. It's a time of peace and the Jedi are doing their thing, holding the power and deciding who is righteous enough to use it. Along comes someone who is like "no, share the Force please" and I expect the Jedi to do what they always do...say no and judge everyone who slightly disagrees with them way to harshly. The galaxy does not exist in black and white, but in shades of grey. I'm hopeful for this.
That's my read on it too. I think that it's not going to be a BAD bad guy fighting GOOD good guys (though if I had to bet, I'd guess that our boots on the ground Jedi leads will be honestly good people) but a story of grey and nuance and someone on the margins fighting against a monolithic and inflexible power structure that is, if not corrupt, ineffective in serving an entire galaxy. That's obviously a much harder thing to pull off, and my optimism is heavily shrouded in caution, but that's the bellwether I see in this trailer, and what gives me hope this will be good.
@@wyverntark The story pitch is compelling, with promising castings, although some may be questionable (cough Amanda Stenberg cough). Ultimately, the success of the series lies in Leslye Headland's ability to craft a complex narrative that enriches the lore while remaining entertaining. Her resume does not fully demonstrate this ability, but I will remain hopeful. The 30-minute episode format doesn't help. We'll have to wait and see how it goes.
@@ahmorganshe already made excuses for people not liking her woke trash. Disney delayed the preview knowing it would be ridiculed. Chances are, they dont care cuz most of you will mindlessly consume
Considering that the power in question is an energy that connects all living things in the universe to each other, one better use that power responsibly. That’s probably how the Jedi got to be so powerful; they understood that whatever their will is, the will of the Force is greater than theirs.
I'm here to be one of the nice comments. I appreciate and respect you guys for being able to critique this trailer and share your feelings on the matter and your points are quite valid. For Adam on your point about not wanting to see the Jedi lose all the time and actually see the Jedi winning you should go and read the High Republic Books and or comics or at the very least check them out. The whole story is about the Jedi being awesome and heroes and helping people. Not every book is peak EU but the opening books are quite strong as are many of the comics and definitely worth the read pending on your interest.
The teaser didn't explain anything. Because it's a teaser, right? To just tease? I don't know what people want. 😂
Weve been living in a world where expectations are too high. I loved this first trailer. It showed just enough to leave us wondering. Idk any of these characters and getting to know a different generation seems exciting. I'm very curious to see what leads up to the way things are in episode 1.
What world do you live in. Nobody expects greatness from star wars anymore, that shipped sailed. We're at the point where we just want them to not fuck it up completely
@Chronz I can tell you this much. Star wars is divided with its fans. You've got your normal fans and then you have your toxic fans who seem like they copy and paste their thoughts on anything star wars related. What world do I live in? My world is a very passive one and as long as I'm being entertained I'll keep watching and loving star wars for what it is. I'd rather show gratitude that I'm able to still witness the franchise going strong and that's coming from an 80s kid where not much star wars content was being pumped out.
@trouari7825 nah, you have those copy and pasters in both of them, I've seen them. And they're not toxic, they're just not mindless consumers like the brainless fans on your side. I'd rather star wars be dead than go thru this humiliation. The only enjoyment I get from all this is from the knowledge that the fan base is divided and that Disney is losing money to where a star wars movie is no longer an event
@@Chronzyeah I got news for you, Star Wars wasn’t exactly “great” before the buy out. Every movie failed at basic elements of movies: acting, cgi, dialogue, fights
I can understand the sentiment. Apart from the first season of The Mandalorian, most other Star Wars stuff has a character or characters you may be familiar with. This (if you haven't read any books/comics) is about as brand new as it can get.
To be fair, we complain when they tell us the plot in the trailer. They are either frustratingly vague or tell you everything.
Its the first trailer. How much of the story do you want?
This trailer could've been a game changer for disney and the fans and yet it left people feeling the usual that disney doesn't know how to make star wars good
Maybe 10%? Even 5? This is a teaser so we got 0.05%.
All of it. So we don't have to waste our time.
@@richardashton5015I don’t think you understand trailers sir.
@@chrismalik1579it’s not even a bad trailer. There’s a political, cultural shift happening against Disney because they’re a massive private corporation. It doesn’t seem like it’s even about star wars anymore when you look at the channels most critical of Disney with the most views, it’s mostly about some kind of broader culture war about race and gender. I don’t know what people expected when GL sold it for 4 billion buckos.
I’m obsessed with this era of Star Wars! I’ve read the Phase I books three times! I’m very excited to see where they go with this series.
Considering I was not sure about this as a show, this trailer actually made me more hopeful that it would actually be fun.
Fun for woke, not for real star wars fan !
Okay, I’m confused. In The Phantom Menace, it was said that Sith have been extinct for a millennia, or a thousand years. So, how come they’re showing up here, only a hundred years before The Phantom Menace? Someone clearly didn’t do their homework. Again!
Red lightsaber doesn’t necessarily mean Sith, it could be a dark jedi or some other dark side user.
dark side = Sith. Red light saber = Sith. Someone going around killing Jedi = Sith. A Jedi wouldn't be going around killing Jedi, because if they did, then you can't really call them a Jedi anymore. Jedi and Sith are all about the philosophy, the beliefs, what motivates them and what they stand for. Sith are all about power, and that is what that woman says in the trailer, "This isn't about good or bad. This is about power.....and who is allowed to use it." That's about as Sith-y as you can get.@@Ryan-gz8rs
adam saying lightsabers dont work anymore for him, the narrative and the plot sound so danm intriguing becase its going to involve unrlaving conspirsies, relvations form the past and present and a very muder mystery vibe is what i think star wars needs to freshen it up
I admire your trust in these showrunners. While I see where you're coming from in the script, bringing it to life on screen seems like a tough job. Let's be honest, Disney's Star Wars hasn't exactly nailed complex storytelling, except maybe with Andor.
I think it's pretty clear that the kid that says they see fire when they're meditating is going to be the 'bad' guy in this.
A firebender! 🤓
I’ve seen a few people say that, and that’s exactly why it won’t happen. Too obvious.
This is giving me strong Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon with lightsabers vibes and I'm excited for that.
When story fails, go to martial arts!
Don't bring chinese cultivator novel wuxia shit in this, those things give headaches as well as cringe
Put down the crack pipe
im suprised by the reaction loll loved it and I want more
The good news is that this takes place 100 years after most of the HR material so if you don’t read those you shouldn’t be lost. The only familiar face is the Mirialin Jedi you see in the trailer (Green skin and a bald head with diamond markings) is a fairly prominent character there but whereas there she’s a teenager she’s significantly older here. Aside from that any familiar faces will likely be those from the prequels (Yoda, Yaddle, Oppo Rancisis, Yarael Poof), although there may be more later.
That being said, you should definitely read the books
Let's be honest, "first trailers" for Star Wars properties rarely give us much beyond cool imagery. I fell out of love with Star Wars some time ago, but I admit this does look intriguing. The fact that we're getting a live-action show set well outside the Episode 1-9 timespan is refreshing. And Carrie-Anne Moss is showing she's still a badass :)
not wrong they're like if we don't show y'all cool stuff most people wont be intrigued, who aren't starwars fans, and they are not wrong. most people are action fans so there always in everything even starwars they gotta amp up that action, hopefully the story is strong too.
@@jesusfreaklol1they have an old chick doing moves that people preferred keanu doing. This is supposed to entice action fans? Lmfao
It's funny how with some reactions to this, the main thing taken away is "this show is more proof that Star Wars is about more than just lightsabers(hand to hand combat, knife fights", and others are like "lightsabers aren't enough anymore".
I think i get what you're saying. It feels like, at least at this point in the advertising, there's no "hook" to get us interested in the story. It's "There's jedi in the High Republic who are fighting evil..." which is a fine beginning of a sentence, but it needs a "...but (*unique complication here*)" to finish the summary. What is it that will set this apart? It can't *just* be the setting. It needs a "but our hero was framed," "but our hero is hiding the fact he is secretly cursed," or (the current Star Wars favorite) "but our hero must protect a young child along the way" or something.
Right now, it's just "the dark side is here."
"Oh no," I guess?
Oh this. This is why I was left feeling cold. There is no unique hook, just sort of generic "Jedi vs Sith" stuff.
Its like ai quality. I know that's cliche to say by now but it truly reeks of generic product
…as opposed to clone wars, which got by just being about Dooku kidnapping Jabba’s son
I understand what you're saying with "lightsabers aren't enough", but I think there's so much more in this trailer than just lightsabers and disagree that its vanilla.
But I GREATLY appreciate that your critiques or issues are presented as your personal views, and are about the actual content not just whinging about diversity. I respect and appreciate that.
I think this is definitely gonna get into the philosophy of the Jedi, the politics of the Jedi, and while we do get into that in the prequels I think a series offers a much deeper kind of analysis.
Plus I think we're gonna get some more mystery and maybe wven noir vibes, Jedi murder mystery anyone? Thats the best stuff in Ep2, bring it on.
“Close your eyes, what do you see”
“I see four lights!”

Adam and Jay diplomatically saying the trailer was kind of disappointing.
I like that it really did not give much away. It looks cool. All of it depends on how good the writing is. We can hope that it is a very well written series.
Just did my reaction!
Ok I’m hooked
Was not expecting this honestly
I'm least familiar with the High Republic era, so I'm definitely curious. This makes me a bit more hopeful that they'll do something set in the Old Republic eventually.
I think it looks awesome. Can’t wait.
The synopsis for the show is great, the teaser posters are AMAZING, the story is said to be similar to Andor levels of writing and I can’t wait 👏
I was expecting full on Acolyte ness
I'm happy there are no blasters or cannons in this piece. It felt more like a teaser than a trailer.
Remember, it's just a teaser. Not the full trailer. We're not going to get major plot points.
I will never understand why they're scared to go hard into the stories of the "Old Republic"? Imagine a live action series where they bring in the origin of "Darth Bane"? that would be fantastic....
I am actually playing SW:ToR while i watch this and yes, there are so many great stories here and sith AND jedi AND bounty hunters AND senate stuff AND all over the whole galaxy.
So...yes, Rey was not a traditional Jedi, but she did have a yellow lightsaber in live action ;p
In other news, Rogue Squadron is back on, btw.
I'm with Adam 2 ways... Carrie Anne Moss is FABULOUS. I don't need the "good guys" to win all the time, but I too am tired of the Jedi always "losing". Meaning, it's all we've seen. It's always going bad for the Jedi. "Darkness!" ...or "darkness is coming!"..."the Jedi are extinct!"... It'd be cool if somewhere, some time, they were to overcome something and win, and be unequivocally heroes.
Hiya. When's bad batch coming guys, soon? Lots of new content but no tbb 😢
Based on their reaction videos, they didn’t really like TBB. I like Adam and Jay and frequently rewatch their reaction the TBB ones were hard to get through because they really didn’t seem interested in the story which is unfortunate; it’s a great show and this season is the best one.
8:00 well, that’s why s2 finale of Mando went so hard
How dare you not love this trailer.Good day, sir!!!!!!!😂😂😂
Light of the Jedi is actually quite a good book
Based on how Leslie described her creative base for The Acolyte, here’s what I’m expecting:
The Acolyte centers around two sisters, one has a special power, the other doesn’t, both are gay. They end up separated, the one without special powers goes on a revenge killing spree due to the Jedi not protecting her village from bandits as they had promised, while searching for her sister (predicting she’s training under Darth Plagues’s master, also the one wielding the red saber). Given the timeline all of the Jedi must die, predicting that she alone is responsible for the Jedi that get taken out (somehow holding insane amount of force ability), and the narrative will be that the Jedi are the true villains within the story. The end. 🤦🏼♂️🤣
Adam hates sad/bittersweet endings, well that explains why he didn't like Last Jedi. Lol
I feel like the story is such a closely guarded secret that they couldn't show a whole lot.
Maybe showed it too early, but I'm worried they won't tell a good story without making the Jedi look rubbish.
On a related note, I would LOVE to see a story set either in the High Republic or right before young Obi-wan comes into the picture, with a rogue group of Jedi helping people out. It would kind of be like the A-Team, but with Force powers. Just a thought.
I thought Rogue Squadron was back on, anyway glad to be here
I love y’all’s reviews and reactions. I’ve been following you guys since Mando. 😊
3:15 Man, I thought Jay was gonna go "taco bell..."
You're not alone.
I think people forget Jedi are the heroes, and are obsessed with attacking and bringing down heroes. WE KNOW THE JEDI LOST to the Sith. Can we just see them win?
I love ya guys but some times I genuinely wonder how a channel basically dedicated to reacting to trailers continues to not understand the concept of how trailers are released.
First you get a teaser trailer. You get little hints, some windows into the world. The most basic premise and possible story bits but nothing of actual substance. To make you ask questions. It's not there to give you information, it's there to tease you.
Then you will get a full trailer. You will see more of the world, more of the characters, a bit more of the story or the action. It's there to give you a bit more of an overview of the world and the characters in it and what might be going on.
Then you get a story focused trailer. Doesn't give things away (or if it does, does so in a manner that you won't understand what it's giving away until you see it in context). This is where some questions might start to get answered or hinted at the direction it is going.
Do all projects follow this structure? No, of course not. But expecting story details in a teaser trailer just isn't how it works from my experience so don't fault the teaser trailer for not telling you the story.
That's just my 2 cents anyways, for what it's worth (which isn't much, probably not even 2 cents).
9:00 😂 I don't think Jay noticed Adam's shade to episode 9 right there 😂
I think what the issue is, is that when they announced the show originally they said it was more or less going to be from the perspective of the antagonist, which was very intriguing. We got absolutely none of that, or any sense of direction or plot from this trailer. That works in pre-established timelines, but not really in timelines that nobody knows outside of books
This is a teaser...
@@PhillyDove no a teaser is what was shown at celebration last year. This is a full blown trailer. It is supposed to give you a reason to be intrigued. It did not do that at all
@@codysias2265 A Jedi murder mystery isn't intriguing to you? Well, I guess that's unfortunate for you then? It HAS my interest, I don't wanna know too much I'm actually more excited because I DON'T know what's about to happen.
@@hargibson18 it’s not that we don’t know too much. It’s that we know legitimately nothing. They could not have been more vague or bland in the dialogue included, and given the fact that this is like 97% of peoples first dive into the High Republic, giving just the smallest amount of detail matters. considering it’s less than 3 months to release and they haven’t really even talked about the project before, they had to give something, and they didn’t. The show interests and excites me, bc I know what it is. The trailer was not good, because it did not convey what it is to other people at all. Just like the Ashoka trailer. People who had never watched rebels genuinely didn’t give a fuck. 2/3 of the dialogue in this trailer is legit just recycled script between Luke and Rey in the last Jedi. It is not hard to generate intrigue amongst both new and returning fans without giving the story away. If you can’t see that then that’s a you problem.
It's quite obvious they're telling you to not believe what you see in the trailer, so maybe save the judgement till you see the show. This is also very much a teaser given what was shown at celebration had more fight scenes in it than this one did.
Come on, who we kidding...Trinity is a jedi?!??! Hell yes we will be watching 😂
So Hyped for this show!! GOD please let these episodes be longer than 30 minutes!!!!
To all of us geeks that read those scholastic young Jedi series, or wanted so much to move things with our minds, but most of all, to all the young kids out there who are going to grow up with this series we only ever had in our forums, fanfiction, and dreams. May the force be with them.
We finally know Daphne Keen's character, and it is a jedi alien. I hoped she would be the acolyte or sort of a sith apprentice, but I'll take it.
I really enjoyed this trailer. For me it showed the perfect amount.
And “lightsaber aren’t enough” is true but they did show that this show might also show a Jedi that doesn’t fight with lightsabers as their main weapon but focuses on martial arts and the force, which for me is something I am really excited to explore more.
Feels like an Arby’s night.
I feel like we have spent so much time within the skywalker saga. most shows we ultimately know the conclusion of their stories. Even with the mando era we know they are not around for the sequels. With this, if you haven't read the books or comics, your going in blind and it can be frustrating not knowing. I felt the same way as Adam does when i first saw it. Being very unsure of the tone or story. Star Wars needs expand beyond the skywalker eras and find a new footing. Star Wars is all about the light, dark, and finding the balance between. During the High Republic the Jedi were everywhere and they were at their strongest. It makes sense that the story would be about a darkness rising. Finding that balance.
Adammmmmm.....you okay, Peaches? Your face immediately after the trailer...
WOW that's the quickest trailer reaction I've ever seen drop from pReview'd! I'm really excited for this one, but yes, I agree, I'm not sure the trailer did enough. There needs to be another to really blow us away.
"We haven't seen a yellow light saber in live action."
THE SHADE...
Someone is killing Jedi. Disney, it's Disney.
100 years before TPM, that means a strong chance of...…. Yoda
What sets this apart from other "Jedi lose" stories is that the Jedi are the EMPIRE of the High Republic era. They are the power, the government, the man, the institution. It's not like the Skywalker series where Palpatine was already in the senate working behind the scenes. Encountering a Sith in this era would be like seeing a dinosaur today. It's why they can't fathom anyone is killing them. The Sith are the plucky underdogs of this age and I am HERE for it.
And you will be HERE for disappointment
@@mikedavila7837 Chill dude, people are hating on this far too much without seeing the actual series
It's clearly a murder mystery lol
4:30 Top notch reaction, guys. Patreon donation well spent 🤣
Based on how LITTLE we got in terms of story I'm guessing there will be a big Episode 1 or 2 twist that completely recontextualizes the show so there's not much they can show on that front without spoiling things.
High Republic era in the books
I think you guys hit the nail on the head: it's not a bad trailer, but...I don't know. I felt like there could have been more.
Also, I'm with Adam: I don't like sad endings.
"It's a double huh!"
(I hoped so much..)
It shoulda ended on a view of Yoda looking worried.
adam you earned my sub brother.
Can I just say the lightsaber in the red smoke just kind of remind me of Darth Nihilus
"Somehow..... Palpatine returned...
but even the way we explained it was a HELL of a lot better than that shitty ass EU story, so it's okay."
Im really excited to see them use the force in hand to hand combat. I dont feel like its really been explored except maybe one move in the middle of a big saber battle. This is the nitty gritty Jedi Order that everyone looked up to.
Does this mean we get to see a Young Yoda in this??!! 😮😮
Actually couldn't agree with you more, as a life-long Star Wars fan. We're at the point that "lightsabers aren't enough." This looks "Huh. I dunno, man." Something that SHOULD be a knock-out is met with a shrug.
Lol well at least I know what channel I won’t be watching reactions for this show. Definitely the thing I appreciate about trailer reactions.
Maybe we need tales about the Jedi loosing because that’s what’s happening in real life. But a main character to connect to would be great.
I feel like I know less about this now than I did before I saw the trailer
For me, I always wondered if Acolyte might be the beginning of a "Palaptine origin story", like the rise of the Sith that led to Palpatine. This trailer seems to lean into the Palpatine origin story theory of mine, and I'm curious based on the potential of that, or what is the story if it's not that. Plus, its just great to see something Star Wars that isn't part of the Skywalker saga.
