- A new Star Wars series, set in a new era, made by people whom I'm sure have heard about Star Wars from a friend at one point in time. Here are my thoughts on Episodes 1 & 2 of STAR WARS: THE ACOLYTE!!

Almost 10 years ago we had Jeremy in his Star Wars cape excited to watch the teaser trailer for Episode 7 and now we have him dressing for funerals with a glass of booze
That’s the power of destruction KK has done. Truely ruined a legacy franchise
I was thinking about this aswell. We were all so excited, so full of... hope.
That's what corporate greed with no plan does to a franchise
@@DrViperVideos KK is the executive producer of the entire Back the The Future trilogy, Gremlins, and the Goonies.
Y’all desperate for a witch hunt. A show or movie can’t just be bad anymore.
He is attending a funeral:
Star Wars's funeral
"I think the CW would have done that better". That's probably the most brutal take I have heard so far.
Hey man…I liked Arrow. 🤣🤣🤣 the flash was good for two seasons then inexplicably drove off a cliff
I liked Smallville early seasons
Arrow and Flash were good for about 3 seasons maybe 4
It’s dogshit
Have you watched the last two seasons of Smallville? If not, watch them! I was the same. Loved the early seasons but the middle seasons sucked so bad I stopped watching. Sometime said it gets good again at the end, so I tried, and holy shit it does! It's not ground breaking or the best ever. But if you liked Smallville and just want to watch some good episodes, watch the last season. The last two seasons are good, but if you're really over Smallville then just watch the last season.
It's the best send off of the series, and it you once liked it you deserve to see the series end right. Please watch it.
A person said the same to me, so now I'm saying it to someone else. And when you enjoy it, carry forward the message.
Kirk blowing up the death star was one of those pivotal moments in my childhood that I will never forget.
Use the force, Harry.

You're remembering it all wrong - it was *clearly* E.T. who used the One Ring on his magic finger to destroy the Death Star, and turn it back into the nail salon it had been converted from. Sheesh, whipper snappers these days.
Some say HAN- SOLO was named to mock all the people who thought sirHAN sirHAN acted solo when he shot RFK in '68...
Remember when leia called aragorn a nerf hearder, dang that was good burn
“Just because Lucas Film is allergic to making money doesn’t mean I need to be…” stone cold killer🤣
I love Jeremy 🤣🤣🤣😂
I don’t get it, didnt everything besides solo make like a billion dollars?
@@donovan4222 Every single release by Disney SW has had a declining return on investment. Look at the box office more critically than "but numbers are big!" and you'll see what JJ is talking about and why Disney has pulled the plug on SW movies for the past few years.
Oh damn that’s savage
Disney has been losing money for years. Lack of return investments @@donovan4222
“important to dress for a funeral” Jeremy is a legend
This is what Jeremy is great for what he does. Actually criticises the failures with no agenda. It’s sad that a Star Wars shows was released and I have no urge to watch it.
@@kinyemibola4386 it's a sad day when you feel nothing for a franchise you used to love.
@@TonyTamaI still have love for this franchise, just not anything Disney Star Wars. I can't say anything about Mandalorian because I have never watched it because I have no Disney Plus.
All the online reviewers are agreed. Poke Star Wars with a stick, it's dead.

Jeremy is drinking in the thumbnail, so you know it's Disney content.
But he didn't drink on the Inside out 2 thumbnail.
@@Simbala-bq5vy eh, even a broken clock gets it right 2x a day.
The fact that this cost £22m per episode make me wonder where on earth the budget was spent on
That money is for the team of 45 LGBT commissars who bully employees
Godzilla minus one cost 15M
The AI thing is definitely real. Thats the only reason some of these shows look so damn bad with these MASSIVE budgets
Spent it all on Starbucks
@@loonatic1071On the soy lattes...
Seeing Jeremy with a drink in the thumbnail of a Star Wars series: “this is where the fun begins”.
There's always a bigger drink. 🍷
@@TheCrappyRobot another happy bashing.
May the scotch be with you. 🥃
1:45 "I actually don't give a fuck"
sums up exactly how I feel about this series.
How I feel about Disney's crap in general nowadays
Our family used to be excited anticipating the next Star Wars show or movie, now it’s decayed into plain apathy. The same could be said about going to Disneyland, as now we just pass since it’s just the never ending money extortion with meh new attractions and constantly broken rides.
Honestly at this point im just waiting for the next season of Andor and nothing else, i skiped Ahsoka and Mandalorion seasons after 1 and 2, its just bafling that with a project like Andor disney dont even have the self respect to hold the other series to that standard but they like to burn money so this is what we get it seems.
Yep. It’s a bummer what this IP has been turned into.
Thats how fans feel about Star Wars as a whole now.
They spent more than 10x on this show than the budget of Godzilla minus 1.
"Hope is a strong word, I actually don't give a fuck." 😆
You just described what every Star Wars fan has turned into since the Sequals
What's a "sequal"?
I died when you pointed out how they decided to have the same hair braid style even though they'd been separated for fifteen years.
I'm going to make up a cover story: It's not hair. It's really a kind of lekku common to her species. That's why not it's not only identical to both sisters, but it was the same even when they were children.
haven't there been some studies on twins being more alike when they're apart than when they're together because of their need to individualize themselves when they are with each other? Them having the same haircut seems plausible
This happens irl too
They both bought the same kind of mops to put on their head
Best part is the 2 actors playing the young versions, weren't even identical.
Feels like it was “Written by someone who heard about Star Wars.” Well done.
In an article in the NYT interviewing the director - she said that during the interview they asked the writer what they knew about Star Wars and she replied 'i know Harrison Ford runs around fighting aliens followed by a giant dog' and her response was 'you are hired'
That should tell you all you need to know
I just ate toilet paper in a vid 💪🔥🥃💯💥🆘💪
This is exactly what's happening with just about every fandom. People who don't care about the IP itself but who must inject their worldview into it because it's popular have been taking over for years.
Those of us who noticed have been constantly shouted down as gatekeepers, or every form of ist/phobe there is.
@@Muscleman8562OnCameo.Not impressive, unless it was slightly used. 🤷♂️
What’s the, “CW,” he’s referring to?
When the ghost of Yoda told Capt. Kirk to "use the force" in Star Wars Episode 1 The Fellowship of the Ring, I really felt that.
He doesn’t look old enough
Director :Are you assuming something.
Disney :Fire that guy
“The long lost twin trope is how you bring new concepts to star wars” 😂👌🏼
Was amnesia done already?
@@A_TH-cam_Commenter If you count KOTOR then yes.
Isnt....isnt Luke and Leia that already tho?
@@captainbrodude8251 But not identical twins, so it's new. :)
New? Bigger Luke, Obi wan clone. Evil space spirit twins. I can go on for every. Disney star wars is just bland.
Disney failed when Jeremy stopped wearing his Star Wars blanket in his videos
So happy they cast Asians to mentor black people. Because I see that in Africa. This is Disney's way of acknowledging the shifting global dynamics. We are learning Mandarin and cultural exchange between the global South and the new Super Power
@@suezcontours6653 So happy that you keep spamming this crap?
@@cryptking6283 You're dying, Sweety. Amandla Stenberg is South African. Africa is set for a population BOOM with a growing middle class while the West is on a steep decline in birth rates and their middle class has disappeared entirely - people have turned to owning pets instead. Why would corporations invest in a dying group of people? You're on your last legs. So keep crying but Africa is the future. It's intentional that they cast Asians to mentor the black girl because that's EXACTLY what's happening in Africa with BRICS

Was that before or after he beamed down into Hogwarts?
But he aims to misbehave.
Oh wow and when Creepio told Clarence Boddicker, "Dead or Alive, you're coming with me," right before Corporal Hicks opened the airlock...
Still gives me chills.
Mad respect to Jeremy for keeping it real and not being a shill
He's never shilled. Unlike Stuckmann

"Mad respect to Jeremy for saying the same dumb shit I believe... for some reason"
"Mad respect for having the same opinion I have."
I didn't know it was possible to feel this much indifference towards the franchises I once loved.
Never thought I'd see you here, love your videos btw
Ha! Yup.
Funny I'm a Star Wars fan and love most Star Wars content. I guess if it doesn't work that way for you, you could always just not consider yourself a fan?
"Hope is a strong word, I actually don't give a fuck."
🤣🤣🤣
Kirk blowing up the Death Star was my favourite part of Battlestar Galactica.
Yes BSG was on the best DS9 shows imo
Omg it was the jetsons that blew up the death star!!!
I will always remember the era when Jeremy loved Star Wars. Before The Dark Times, before Disney.
to be fair, there's been good things in these times. but the bad/mediocre is starting to overtake the good
@@nathan.d.c The Mandalorian S1-2 were good. Andor was good. But you’re right, there’s been more mediocre shows than great ones.
@@nathan.d.c”starting” LOL
@@nathan.d.cthat no different form legend but now everyone see it instead of hardcore fan who will ignore the shitty parts of legends also I think sometime a higher up like a ceo step in and screw things up to make it safe for investment or put in a star actor that isn’t up for the role
@@MatthewVlossakI would add Rogue One and the final season of Clone Wars to this list. I would also put in some of Ashoka because it wasn’t entirely bad
Long lost twins is such an original idea, I can’t believe Star Wars never did that before
“They see me trollin they hatin”
I stray force user figuring out how to create clones using the energy of the Universe would've been way more intriguing. Could've been like Battlestar Galactica / The Thing, and a 'Who's a cylon/alien' dynamic, but no, we have The Parent Trap in space.
They are just trying to redo Star Wars in their own gay woke way
@@thedarknate08 not cool. Also, 'woke' isn't new so I'd wish people would stop using it like it's a current thing and as some kind of problem. I mean, Star Trek in the 60s was considered 'woke' when Uhura was a bridge officer on the Enterprise, and the episode where Kirk and her shared an interracial kiss. It's. Not. A. New. Concept. Get. Over. It. Already. Normalizing ethnic and minority groups in media has been going on for well over half a century.
I already said that in a different comment section. Bravo 👏
I was rather looking forward to getting your perspective on this show and you did not disappoint. Thank you for saving me from wasting however long Acolyte's runtime is.
Ayo!!
The clip of Captain Kirk before blowing up the Deathstar had me in stitches!! 😂😂😂
"Characters who feel like they were written by people who heard what Star Wars is, so they are faking it 'til they make it" has been the motto of everything Star Wars since The Force Awakens.
This is 100% on the mark!
Andor, the Mandalorian and rogue one say different 🤷
@@carlnicklin7971 Yeah, S3 of Mandalorian would like to talk to you as that was just garbage.
@@Slayer398season 3 was trash but season 1 was dope.
Andor, Rogue One and season 1 of Mando were all dope.
The fallout from The Acolyte is proving to be more entertaining than the show itself.
Yeah!
The last show I have watched is Kenobi. After that I gave up on SW and enjoying it from another perspective now.
@@user-mq7ew7yt6cI gave up after TLJ. If they were willing to rape both Han AND Luke, I knew where this was heading. Only good thing out of the Disney era was Andor, everything ranges from bad to horrendous shit.
It's the same with so much entertainment these days. Games are released half finished so people just laugh at the glitches.
This is an absolute shit show: Jeremy, Drinker, Dave Cullen... The points these guys have made are so damning that I feel sorry for the people behind the show. Sure, I could see one or another point but the amount of shit they came up with? It's beyond staggering. How did such a production got green lighted?
@@MegaGasekKathleen Kennedy. Until they get rid of her, THIS is the face of the Star Wars franchise.
Dude fire in space has been a thing in Star Wars since '77.
I don’t know why it’s seen as a problem now lol
@@JackThuRipper1it’s because a lot of people don’t have the media literacy skills to explain actual genuine critiques so they just nickpick over the stupidest things and/or parrot whatever the grifters said.
It wasn’t in space, it was on the planets

Not a damn campfire, explosions. This was just an open flame bro come on
The Acolyte has the best Star wars characters since "baby yoda".....new characters can be interesting and fun to follow too....I can't wait for episode 3.❤
LMAO... were you dropped on your head as a kid
@@cowetascore8476 lol..🤣...I dunno. But we sure know good television when we see it in this household.😘🤩
Seeing Jeremy's star wars videos in order is a perfect representation of how the hopes and excitement of being a star wars fan in the hands of Disney had deteriorated over time.
Putting Carrie-Anne Moss on the cover of The Acolyte is like putting Max von Sydow on the cover of The Force Awakens.
Carrie-Anne Moss will have more screentime before the show is over (flashbacks).
@@Phatooine I was figuring she'd turn out to be the venom helmet sith at the end.
Godzilla:2014 had Bryan Cranston all over the promo materials.
It was a ripoff of Drew Barrymore in Scream
Well put!
Here after watching episode 3 and yes it does get worse... lol
This is a review from a true fan. Love it.
I am watching this entire season just to laugh when the sith dude turn out to be twins mother and drops " I AM YOUR MOTHER "
Damnit! Now im slightly interested to learn how this ends.
@@lawrencekuhlman9405 my predictions, it turns out jedi are bad, only we can teach the force or some bullshit, the other sister switches sides anyways for no reason, they team up against darth mutter
I’m going to sail the seas for it just for a good laugh
Which one? The twins have two mothers.
NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!,
"Star Wars on the CW" Is the perfect way to put it
That was exactly how I described it to my wife when I watched it last night. Glad to see it is a common sentiment.
What does he mean by CW?
@@xenon244 Think of all the worst things about Arrow-verse, but Star Wars.
@@xenon244 Bad acting/writing, low budget, cheesy, super hero soap operas for teenagers - Arrow, Riverdale, Flash, Smallville, etc.

@@houstonlamb4477 OK, you just assumed something. And you were wrong.
I said nothing about the thumbnail. Not a thing.
The entire video is clickbait not the least of which are the keywords content creators use to get TH-cam to recommend things. And I think TH-cam must be helping this guy out cuz I have zero interest in anything Acolyte related and never searched for it. I been watching mostly stuff like Best of the Worst and cat vids.
@@Shorty_Lickens but if you aren’t interested, why click on the video and comment on it? All that’s going to do is make the algorithm recommend more videos of his and more videos about the acolyte to you
@@houstonlamb4477 See? You see what you did there?
No. You dont. Because you arent very bright and cannot use critical thinking skills. You did what most people do nowadays when they argue. You made an assumption, without asking any questions, and then proceeded to debate based on that assumption.
Go back and read what I said. Then go back and read your first sentence. And stop and actually think about where you went wrong.
Go ahead. I'll wait patiently. I have work to do but will check back every once in a while to see if you got it or didnt get it.
It really goes to show that Disney is just in a horrible state that they gave Acolyte a $150 million budget, but gave Kenobi a $90 million budget.
I bet you 90% is going to parties or some nonsense.
The way it turned out, Kenobi didn't need to exist either. Very half-assed.
@@nicodimus2222kenobi was good. A masterpiece by Disney’s standard
Plus another 30m for marketing
@@robertgreen9245 But it didn't need to exist. The only thing it accomplished was making me hate Princess Leia more. There have only been 2 bright spots in Star Wars since the prequels: Andor and The Mandalorian.
I honestly laughed when the first Jedi died within a few seconds by a blade to the chest… I guess I'm still haunted after seeing BOTH Reva and Sabine surviving a lightsaber going through them! 😂

Thank you for giving us an honest review
That Kirk blowing up the Death Star sequence blended together so well, if I didn’t know better it’d look legit 😆

Disney: "The problem is you, not our show."
Hey, we should thank them. Thanks to them and others in entertainment, hollywood, games etc, its become obvious to many how huge this problem really is.
When they gaslight this obviously with something many of us can relate to (like the Star Wars movies) its become very easy to unify against them with a shared purpose.
Looking at you white heterosexual males , ya know , the ones who supported the franchise from day one 😂
I appreciate how this guy doesn't spend half his time bitching about the gender disparity (which IS terrible) but instead focuses on the plot, character, and technical issues within this pathetic excuse for a Star Wars series. Feels like a truly unbiased review and I respect the hell out of that.
Imagine if you had talented writers and directors who were actual Star Wars fans and cared about it. The great TV shows and films we could've had 😢
Who would have thought that Respawn not only create a Star Wars story that's good but a Star Wars story that feels very much like a Star Wars story. Jedi Fallen Order and Survivor have amazing story, characters and character development and you really feel like everyone involved created a love letter to Star Wars. I really think you could take the cut scenes and make a miniseries of the games.
"The Acolyte" will insult your intelligence, no matter how little of it you possess.
Some people have negative intelligence though. We have to account for that :(
@@justinnyugen7015Good for you You don't have intelligence 😂🤣

"It was super easy, barely an inconvenience!"
"Oh really?"
"You see... shut up. Now anyways, this other force user is going to die to a tiny piece of metal."
"What? How?"

This review is spot on. And honestly if dude didn’t know who blew up the Death Star then he shouldn’t be allowed to play anyone on the show.
You know its bad when unbiased reviewers think its bad. Wait till yall see episode 3. 😂😂
Exactly. Most of the reviewers are either woke bros or Disney sycophants. Hard to know what to believe.
After Kirk destroys the Death Star he utters his famous line "JAHHNNN!!!" obviously calling out Jeremy back in the 70s.

Stunning and Brave scene. I clapped when I saw it in the theater.

Thank you Jeremy. You continue to be a voice of reason and a unbiased critic. Its smart as you remain one of the few big name critics that people can ACTUALLY TRUST. I appreciate that integrity. Its both sad and nice to appreciate that integrity, sad because its so rare that a person of your fame/following retains their individual spirit and ability to think for themselves, and refreshing for the same reason. Itd be nice if everyone was as honest, but hey, people are stupid in general and most will take the path of least resisitance.

Nobody on this planet can convince me that Lucasfilm and Disney aren't money laundering before both go completely bankrupt
The quality of CG and practical fx in Dune and Furiosa with half the budget of SW and MCU make me think the same. If they can make it look real for even less, while having prestigious actors, then that shows the budget isn't being used properly
It's probably more likely that the disparity between senior members of staff and the workforce is so great it's just leading to massive inefficiency.
I spoke to a game dev yesterday and he was saying how the bigger the corporations were becoming the more politics became enlarged. So you've just got higher ups saying "make it happen" and just keep throwing money at it whilst not addressing the underlying issue. I imagine the people who actually create are massively under the thumb of the execs: they either hire people who are young but easy to push around or squash anything risky due to the now clearly incompetent risk averse system they have put it in place over the years.
It's not even just a lack of budget. It's that the creators seem to have no idea what to do with this budget. There's just a lack of skill in front of and behind the camera. The sets look fake, the cinematography is just lazy, and the acting and plot aren't good enough to distract you from the technical issues.
A New Hope on a technical level had way more limitations than anything Disney has put out, but it worked with those limitations infinitely better. The locations were well thought out They established scale with mat paintings, so you got a sense of size, even in small sets. Most notably, you cared about the plot and characters. Do things look dated by todays standards? Definitely, but you're interested enough that you don't even care. Flashy special effects will always look dated later. A good story is always timeless.

Man, was the Mandalorian s2 really the last time i was excited to see Star Wars? 😔
Same here, that was my last star wars recent content that i watched
After Ashoka, I was like, "I'll give Disney one last shot!" Yeah, our family is checked out from a galaxy far far away. We'll, be sticking with pre Disney Star Wars....
Rogue One is great, although the amount of trash Star Wars has now it's beginning to look like an accident
@@jumhed994rogue one was the beginning of white men only being villains or stupid in these films. It’s impossible not to notice now.
@@jumhed994Rogue One is okay. Good fan service, good acting, and a decent story. It should have been split into 2 movies or streamlined though, because they tried to cram way too much in without developing characters or story enough. The main character was good, but the side characters felt shallow and rushed. To me Rogue One was a look at the future disappointment coming. Andor was better, IMO, despite some plot holes and its own issues. But it came at a bad time, and too late to save anything.
Andor is the last good star wars thing we got and season 2 will probably be the last good thing we get
We have Andor season 2 next year
"Fight me"
"I am here to kill you"
Somehow they subverted their own expectations.
They took two lines that should evoke an air of seriousness and almost had me on the floor rolling and laughing out loud.
To be fair characters in the show laughed at that too
Considering the first reaction to that line is an entire table laughing at her, that's literally the point. The second episode has her get hit by a car, she's meant to be a bit inept and not as cool or skilled as she thinks she is.

Wait till episode 3 where they try to make a coven of lesbian groomers look like the victims while they are the ones causing all the problems. It's peak Disney writing!
"It looks like a PS1 shot" is my favourite way of describing bad CGI. I'm glad Jeremy also describes CGI like that
Ps1 rocked.
PS1 was great for its time now it is shameful to have graphics that look like they came from 20 years ago...
I don't understand what he meant because the shot honestly looks fine
I understand what he means by a PS1 shot but it is doing the PS1 a disservice. The PS1 was a powerhouse for its time. It might very well be the best videogame system I've ever owned. I still play PS1 games in 4K emulation with better graphics despite owning the original system (which still works by the way) and games. Definitely what we see in the Acolyte is sloppy CGI, without the care and love of its creators. There are buildings in this version of Coruscan't which are just copy and paste, scaled, enlarged, shrinked... The best games on the PS1 were pushing the limits of that incredible little system and what could be done AT THE TIME, with love, incredible programming and mad skills. The graphics couldn't be improved because of its technology and system limitations. The shit we saw on Acolyte shouldn't be acceptable 20 years ago... Today? Ha...
@@Dopteros Yup. It looks fine. There's space below the temple, actual trees still growing at that level, and clearly plenty of space for new buildings to be constructed WITHIN THE NEXT 100 YEARS. God, I'm sick of people with platforms complaining about artists not spending time or not caring about what they work on while they themselves have elected to avoid any work themselves. I unsubbed years ago for a reason, I guess...
They forgot to act cold on whatever ice planet they crashed on.
@Xxanderz writing is bad, acting is bland. Cgi is mid for the budget. You need to ask yourself where your opinion is coming from? It's fine to like bad shows, again cw exists. But saying this is good in terms of the art of cinematography, writing, and acting is a complete lie. Some things are objective.
@@Xxanderz LOL
@@Xxanderz^ bot
@@Xxanderzyou're actually brainwashed or simply have no taste. Watch something besides marvel and other Disney content so you can actually contribute to the conversation 👍
@@Xxanderzabsolutely trash show my guy! And apparently the first 2 eps are the best! 😅
Get ready to shill harder than you EVER had before coz this one gonna do a number on you!
Good start. I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes. Actually it makes me interested in the books as well.
I will never understand how the biggest studios in Hollywood consistently manage to hire writers who feel like they were plucked fresh out of film school with zero experience and even less natural talent. Disney, you have money! Hire qualified writers! It's a good investment!
"Just because Lucasfilm is allergic to making money doesn't mean I need to be" I fucking died lmao
Seeing Jeremy now makes me realize how crazy that Covid look he had was lol. Looks 15 years younger here
Depression does that....
I appreciate Jeremy's review. I know he's a star wars fan, so his review is going to be well informed, honest, and savage.
I loved your review style here. No holding back
Andor just keeps getting better and better
I loved Andor, but if I’m not mistaken, it is their least watched show. I assume that The Acolyte will get much better ratings than Andor, which is sad. Disney+ SW is just lowest common denominator entertainment. Throw some lightsabers and space fights on the screen and the masses of will gobble it up.
@@topher6410if that’s true then that is insane. I guess people really do enjoy watching trash
Imagine if Darth Vader had his lightsaber ignite at every scene he was on every one of the OG Star Wars movies.
Somewhat amusing to imagine, especially if Palp eventually asks, “Why the f*** do you ignite your lightsaber every time you speak, Anakin?!?!”
Man, how far we've come
You can tell Jeremy loves star wars with how well he's taking this
Corusant looks like a curcuit board😂
Yeah Corusant couldn't have possibly built any buildings in a 100 year period leading up to when we see it in Episode 1. It must look exactly the same.
The excitement I feel for Disney Star Wars is equivalent to discovering I need root canal surgery... I still love the original trilogy.
"Mediocre and boring." Sums up the Acolyte perfectly. Well said Jeremy.
Honestly that's all star wars is now, across the board. Even the few OK pieces don't justify it
That is an insult to mediocre. This is bad. It's ugly and morally bankrupt. This was made by people with no morals and no talent and no intelligence.
This is the embracing of all negative attributes that a person can have. It's dishonest, ugly, stupid and evil.
@@BunchaNothin Then don't watch. Or keep hating on the internet, if that's your real goal.
"Stagnant state of cinematic indifference...." says it all. 👏👏
"But if you can't look and see that Anakin blowing up the Death Star."
Well no I actually can't, because he ain't the one blew it up.

It was Newt Scamander from Meet the Spartans.
“Star Wars made by CW” is one of the best lines I think I ever heard. It describes this show so freaking well. I’m going to steal it lol
What exactly is CW?
@@aaravtulsyana network mostly known for their terrible cgi and low budget looking shows.
I'm pretty sure I said it first, but just to my wife right after the first episode.
😂😂😂😂 Nah, Jeremy, you a Fool for that quick jacket change edit 😭😭😭😭
My God you finally groomed yourself after 7 years. Looking good again my guy!
I miss the days of the Star Wars Curtain around his neck...and the opening of the video would be Jermey singing "STAARR WAAARRSS NUTHIN' BUT STARRR WARSS"
Disney‘s handling of Star Wars is basically a Weekend at Bernie‘s right now…
Ha,great analogy.
Perfect analogy "Star Wars on the CW."
Thanks for this review Jeremy!!
For the Acolyte creators, getting the project was more important than how the content actually ended up.
Lol she said Frozen was an inspiration for the show
