- Star Wars The Acolyte Review of Season 1 Episode 5 by Leslye Headland for Disney+. When Lucasfilm was bought by Disney many thought the content might improve, but The Acolyte has $180 million and spent it on a lightsaber fight behind trees. This is a very dark episode where it's difficult to see the action, and the power levels are all over the place more than Kenobi. But after Amandla Stenberg released her song about Star Wars The Acolyte, has episode 5 changed everyones minds? Does the Acolyte story make more sense than it did before? Is The Acolyte worth watching?

Daily reminder that Leslye Headland got where she is by knowingly allowing evil to happen, helping it happen, then throwing the person she was helping under the bus for self gain. She knew everything that happened was happening and stood by and let it happen.
While slobbin Harv’s knob.
Explains why the morality in the show is utterly fcked.
It's almost like she was a real life sith lord's personal assistant.... So odd that we'd find out what a horribly self centered person she is.
is being an accomplice to SA not the equivalent of being an accomplice to a murder? she should be arrested
Reminder: Brick Face thought _Frozen_ was about incestuous lesbian romance. Her RL sister refuses to speak to her. _The Acolyte_ is apparently a message/love letter to that sister. _DO THE MATH!_
But wait, it gets worse. Brick Face has basically admitted to stalking Amandla Stenberg for years after her Hunger Games role (when Stenberg was 13), and made the role for her specifically. Literally showed up to her with all the concept art ready-made, all showing images/portraits of Stenberg specifically, all before Stenberg even knew this project was in the works. Rather than notice the obvious red flags, she ran with it (and God knows what else behind closed doors).
So one Sith is more powerful than eight Jedi?
I guess it turns out the power of one is greater than the power of many.
And the female padawan is the only one to stand her ground for a while, while other, I presume far more experienced Jedi got clowned on.
I'm not ever sure if she's dead considering her race might have four stomaches and these are like extra lives when taking lightsaber hits.
The power of Manny
@@Arko777777 She has experience from fighting the same in Logan I assume .
How it often is with Sith. Tendency towards betrayal and in-fighting was often their downfall whenever they gained an advantage. By ensuring they were always two, one to hold power and one to try and take the power, the Sith saw greater success. Being few gave us the plans of Sidious to infiltrate and undermine the Republic to create an empire and eliminate the Jedi. Being many didn't apparently help the coven who raised Osha and Mae.
Tbf the rule of two sith were OP in Legends. Just look at what Sidious did to half the council.
That being said, I'm not gonna give Disney the satisfaction cos this was clearly half baked and won't be satisfying for the rest of the season
Let's wait and see...
Remember when Anakin as a Padawan, fought Dooku, a Jedi master? He got disarmed in seconds, literally.
And he was the Chosen One!
Yes but he didn't have the (right bits)
Twice the pride, double the fall!
yeah, but honestly, that was undone, in revenge of the sith- dooku went out like a chump
@@fabianhammer2864 cmon kid, stop being a simp to woke feminists...
"My powers have doubled, Count Dooku."
"0 times 2 is still 0"
So, we can now officially confirm that hair is less flammable than stone in the Star Wars Universe now? That's pretty wild!
also, she has knives she could use
Less flammable than the vacuum of space.
The blaming of one…
The blaming of two…
The blaming of many…
Ha!
The division of one
The division of 2 Man v. Women Cut it in half to 50%.
The division of many. Break us into racial, gender, sexual orientation, and anything else they can come up with so we're MANY 0.5% groups against the rest of them.
perfect
The power of dumb!
The power of spew!
The wasting of mooonnneeeyyy!
Maybe she learnt it from Weinstein?
Abuse one.
Abuse two.
Abuse too many to count.
"Jedi like you might call me ...... Sith" has the same energy as "there are some who call me ...... Tim?"
Or "My name is...Khan."
I love Monty Python!
How dare you compare these two?!😊 Time to Run Away!
I have many names.... you might call me Sauron
Oh bloody hell, you’re right.
The power of idiot, the power of stupid, the power of ignorance! Yeah, this is the theme of this show! 🤦♂️
The reason why canon exists is to understand the overall story, make it consistant and reasonable. The Acolyte proves what happens when you throw that out and make stuff out of your arse just because it looks "cool"
😅🤣😂😄😆 " TRUE !!! "
This stuff is straight from the
" ARSE💩"
Which could almost be forgiven if it actually looked cool. But the choreography is so obviously bad. TA stans love pointing out Luke's missed kick but ive seen at least 4 of those moments just in this video.

I've seen people defending Mae's actions, but it's still bad writing either way.
and some how jedi can teleport to were they need to be despite being nowhere near where they are supposed to be its like they have instant transmisson from dragonball they already ripped off lord of the rings in ep4 why not rip of dragonball in ep5.

This show is quite special. Whenever you think Disney Wars is rock bottom, they keep finding a way to dig further.
That's why I keep thinking they are affiliated with communist China! Not far to go, now!
If you trained with one sword and suddenly you're wielding two, not only does it not make you stronger, it makes u weaker.
Dont think shes even trained with a sword, let alone a lightsaber.
@@scotttimbrell8632 LMAO, she's got the power of fallopian tubes though.
@@kingmeruem6657 Two tubes. Two lightsabers!
@@Kedamonah "behold the power of my tubes, you danglers."
she is alien...they are mandalorian tubes
"Where's your sister, Osha?"
"Gone."
"Oh, okay. Why can I smell burning hair?"
That's what Basil could smell.
I called this, it's a weird remake of "The Parent Trap". Separated twins change their hair to switch places and fix their family.
And you know what's really stupid? Mae had longer hair than Osha did. Way longer hair. Hair cut that much will be noticed. So is Qmir (or whatever his name is) not going to notice that "Mae" cut her hair? Mind you he can also read people's minds. In Episode 2, Osha pretended to be Mae and he knew either by reading her mind or by the way she was acting. I really hope they don't have him fall for this. If they do, it's going to be Obi-Wan and child Leia sneaking out of Darth Vader's ship with Stormtroopers patrolling levels of stupid. It's going to be like when cartoon characters put on a fake mouthstache levels of stupid.
Oddly, "The Parent Trap" makes FAR more sense than this show ever will...
Girl will have somehow survived 3 lightsaber stabs while Yord is just dead.
not sure how tho. Ahsoka girl was put into that healing tube. This one they left where she dropped.
she is an alien, all her vital organs are in her feet
@@elenoe8 She's an alien. Probably has no organs where he stabbed her so they're just flesh wounds already cauterized.
oh this is absolutely guarenteed
@@elenoe8 Obi-wan bitch wasn't put in a tub... twice. She'll be fine.
*Ok, so Mae wants her sister to love her again... but knocks her out, leaves her in some deadly forest with a Sith assassin, who wants them both dead, and she takes her identity!!? 😂.* This character is evil! Why are they pretending she isn't!? Lol
This is what people believe Twin's just normally do ....
The answer is simple: Mae is a psychopath! 😉
@@FLYANDI you saying it isn't?
And this is what they call "morally grey". Like no love, youre both fucked.
This is the same kind of character writing we saw in both Batwhammen and Robyn-with-a-Y.
Hollywood is populated with lizard people; that's the only way I can explain this utter disconnect with both logic and morality.
Mae leaving her unarmed, unconscious sister in the middle of a deadly forest is next level tough love. She couldn't have possibly wanted her to die, though, right?
Doctor Who just finished a season celebrating a mother who abandoned her baby in the middle of a snowy night.
Did Mae take the tiny droid with her? Won't the droid betray her to Master Seoul?
Once she cut her hair with that lightsaber, she would have turned into the human torch in a second, this show makes absolutely no logical sense at all
Between the haircut, the “dis-track”, and the cringiest thing I’ve heard this year! “Attack me, with all your power”
I WILL NEVER SPEND ANOTHER DOLLAR ON DISNEY IF I CAN HELP IT!!
The funniest part is that discount Esra Miller must've carried that black gimp suit, helmet and light saber through the jungle and Mae didn't even notice!
🤣😅😂
Or had it hidden somewhere, like a discount spider man.
"The madgoosewizard"
Ezra Miller IS discount Ezra Miller
No one is carrying any sort of bags, they must all be very hungry and thirsty.
Zipper face can use a dust storm to make a group of jedi fly away but can't use the same skill on a bunch of baby Mothras... ffs
Do they remember what they wrote for the previous episode?
🤦
What if he ran into Gamera?
In this show, they don’t remember what they wrote in the previous scene. 😂
To make it worse: iirc episodes 4-5 have the same writers/directors involved, so they SHOULD know about the baby mothra problem. Hell, within the first 5 minutes those guys should be swarming the Jedi/Darth Gimp because the one was attracted to Sol's lightsaber in episode 4.
Don't get me started on Darth Gimp's stupid comment about Sol reading his mind... only for Sol to not immediately recognize it's Mae in disguise due to, y'know, being able to read her mind.
These writers use the Force, fire, bugs, pretty much EVERYTHING for the sake of 'advancing the plot', consistency in their own show be damned.
Cooldown is too high
They don't remember what they wrote five minutes ago, what makes you think they'd remember last EPISODE, that was YEAAAARS ago relative to their attention span.
Honestly i'm still befudled that Amandla did the real life version of Steven segal's sad dance on southpark and thought it was a good idea to post it online.
"Guy gets two swords and suddenly starts winning" being a thing in Star Wars is 100% Filoni's fault. Anakin tried to dual wield in Attack of the Clones and almost instantly lost an arm. And before his stans come out to defend him, the writer of this episode (and the last one) says that he has to approve anything that comes out of Lucasfilms, and gave feedback on the Acolyte.
Happend to the Jedi Master in the first SWTOR Trailer too. Using two sabers when you only fought with one before seems like a bad idea.
@@johannesseyfried7933He killed Malguse's bro with that sword
As silly as it is that Mae cut her hair with a saber, would it not have been 10X more interesting to NOT show the audience that Mae did that?! Would it not have been better to instead make the audience have to think about whether this person with Sol is truly Osha while giving very subtle hints to pull the viewers in? This story would’ve been instantly elevated with this small change of moving the saber hair cut scene to whenever in the story they want “Osha” revealed as Mae. These bloody show runners avoid anything intriguing happening in the story at all costs. A competent writer would immediately recognize that this detail should be hidden from the audience until a later reveal but that actually sounds interesting & we can’t have that, now can we?! It’s like these writers are ALLERGIC to good storytelling! When they should do something OBVIOUS (for instance, showing the Wookie Jedi being a badass), they just don’t.
Exactly, They fucked up with what? 3 or 4 plot twists at this point, but decided that was enough, lets just show them this shitty one too.
The smell of burning hair should have given her away immediately. That doesn't come out.
Well, they couldn't show the Wookie getting killed, cos it would have revealed the not-sith, that nobody could figure out, before his big reveal 😄👏🏻
Yeah, but...swirly thing still on forehead???
Especially since Smilo Ren said that he won’t reveal his face because Sol could read his mind if he could see his face, so him recognizing it’s Mae because he can see her face and thus mind would have been a decent reveal.
"You can't chop his head off while he's unarmed. So I'll paste this flashlight on his back and let him be carried off and eaten by giant bugs."
Smilo Ren, has enough situational awareness to fight and dispatch multiple jedi knights and masters, but not enough to stop one unarmed person from pasting a lightbulb to his backside.
Not okay to kill the Sith lord, just get him carried away by giant wood lice...🤨
Mae cutting her hair is not going to hide the mark on her forehead from the witches so Sol should have noticed it I can't believe they did the parent trap
>>Mae cutting her hair is not going to hide the mark on her forehead
@@alexmuenster2102 Yes. Yes it will.
"im going to renounce my evil ways"
"oh wait my boss is here never mind" this show is laughable
More like "My boss is here and is actively trying to kill me. Best murder my sister again and infiltrate the Jedi."
we all relate to that. come on now lol
Well what you do if your evil boss murdered your alibi.
@@emptyblank099a except he didn't.
He didn't get Sol, Osha, and Mae doesn't have a lightsaber so thinking she killed the wookie then suddenly had a change of heart and also suddenly got betrayed would make no sense. There's no reason to think she killed the wookie, and she already believed the Jedi wouldn't imprison her if she gave them Intel.
Which is retarded, but that's what she said.
@@haku8135 Use your head. The Jedi would clearly think Quimir and her working together. Which they were. Her Alibi is dead and now she knows her master is out there. Makes sense to run for her life.
This show was written by 10 year olds, for 10 year olds.
Seriously. The amount of lore breaking, continuity mistakes, plot holes, character back tracking, terrible character decision making, bizarre choices & actions, coupled with terrible dialogue makes this show one of the worst things to ever hit TV screens
Amen! It is downright hilarious.
More like toddlers.
Sounds like everything the modern fanbase wants.
And the framing, pacing, editing and cinematography is amateurish. Most fanfic films are better made than this with a low percentage of a fraction of their budget.
Hey, what do you have against 10 year olds? Don't make them watch this, that's inhumane
How did OSHA get injured in fight with Fannie Mae, and how does a SITH ... HEAL?!?!?!?! When no one prior to Angel Rae could do that?
In eu i think anyone can heal? The kicker is sith could ONLY heal themselves? Im not 100% on that though
@@d4arken3ds0ulWhile Sith CAN heal, they usually have to absorb somebody elses lifeforce.
Darth Bane was mortally wounded once and left on the battlefield and ran into the problem that he *couldn't* heal himself, because he was only surrounded by corpses and couldn't suck the life out of them.
Osha fell off a small ledge. I guess that's where she got injured.
The climax of the episode was literally Mae cutting her hair for whatever reason. Women are so smart and talented
In Kathleen Kennedy's SW, forget about dismemberment.
A lightsaber is only good for making haircuts.
The haircuts of 1.
The haircuts of 2.
The haircuts of manyyyyy.
Ahsoka was infuriating in that sense. Not even zombie stormtroopers got chopped 🤦♂️
Or a flashlight... basically by the time this seires is done the lightsabre will just be one big multi-tool that will do anything and everything except be a weapon
Dismemberment doesn't fly in Ccyna. That's why.
In the next episode they use a lightsaber to make a Soja laté
@@PhotriusPyrelusobv thats wrong
"Just think: 'What humiliates men the most, and go with that.'" Wait, doesn't that predict 99% of the stories coming out of Tinseltown these days?
Yeah pretty much. You can always guarantee that if a man speaks it will be used against him, regardless of whatever he says being pointless or random. Like using the blaster to save Yord, Im surprised Yord didnt just outright say "yes, alright, I know" before the incoming "Good thing I kept it"
@scotttimbrell8632 yeah like chungo fat with the basic police playbook tactic make a perimeter to stop smilo escaping yet it's dismissed simply because he's a man for the dumber just send osha in alone but even smilos motives made no sense he don't paticularly have a grudge against these 4 jedi he's just a whiney brat who going killing just so no one holds him to any accountability I swear that motive would of made more sense if smilo was a woman.
"Even with all of American culture at my back and double-standards too numerous to mention, I can't succeed as well as my brother. But in fiction, anything is possible!"

Yes. Yes it does.
Why did Osha need to sacrifice her droid if we established the lightsaber is a bright enough light for the insects to swarm around? Sol deactivated his lightsaber, Discount Ezra Miller activates his to take advantage of Sol's ostensible weakness, and the bugs swarm him.
No cremation for any of the fallen Jedi at the temple. Just left like forest litter .
According to that David Bowie girl, we should just be happy they've all joined the Force.
Forest bugs gotta eat sumpin!
I did not think that Star Wars could get any worse than the Kenobi series. I am genuinely shocked just how utterly terrible this series is.
I refused to watch Kenobi at all because in my mind if Vader and Obi Wan haven’t seen each other since ROTS. As not seeing someone for decades is more impactful than just ‘oh I saw you last week’
Even drake starkiller, a video game hack and slash protagonist, who could force lighting a at-st to death and clear a room with a force repel, couldn't handle multiple force or force immune opponents at once. And he had video game protagonist privileges
That's because Starkiller wasn't 'special' in that regard, the game's exaggerated interpretation of the force scaled every force user up rather than Starkiller alone.
@@nobody2996no he was still immensely strong. That's why you kill multiple jedi.
Didn't he also pull a Star Destroyer out of the sky at one point?
@@MediumRareOpinions
Common misconception, he REDIRECTED one, with all of his effort to change its direction by a couple meters while it was in freefall
@@MediumRareOpinions Star Destroyer was already coming down. He did manage to dramatically turn it downward as it came down though. He forced its nose into the ground
I hate how jecki is able to sense and block smilo without knowing hes there but as soon as evil osha pick up a gun and shoots at sol he just takes it instead of blocking or realizing hes being shot at.
When you root for Ezra too destroy everyone, you know you created something magical
When a show has you cheering for the villain you've either created a phenomenally cool and badass antagonist, all you protagonist are so insufferable that you wish all of them would disappear, or a combination of both.
The Acolyte falls squarely into that middle category.
was arguing with people online for the last 3 weeks and all i ever heard was "just wait they will explain it" all i said back was "disney has lost the right to be given the benefit of the doubt in manners like this due to their repeated history of not fixing errors like these." its honestly shocking to me how people can still expect disney to fix the plot holes they dig.
They don't even expect EXPLANATIONS at this point given how they are tripping over themselves to act like tonal and narrative consistency shouldn't matter in a series that takes place over THOUSANDS OF YEARS
That kind of discourse happened a lot during the Kenobi show. While the show was on, people kept saying "The show's not even over, they'll explain by the end!" Then after it ended, that changed to, "The show's over, why are you still talking about it?" Also, the Doctor Who finale shows that things most definitely are not always explained at the end, lol.
@@marychocolatefairy oh yeah i know. its been happening since episode 7 came out lol. disney digs a plot hole then the defenders come out and say "wait till its over because they will fix it" and then it ends without the hole being fixed and if it ever does get fixed its in some obscure book somewhere. like when are these people just going to ask themselves the question 'why not just avoid the plot hole all together if you intend on fixing it in a future episode?".
we would not need to wait for them to fix the plot holes created with mundis cameo if they just chose any other none human old looking jedi to make a cameo instead. and we would not need them to explain mundis comments in the phantom menace if they just made the dark side user a dark jedi or dathomiri witch of some kind. they could have avoided those plot holes in their entirety with almost no impact on the story but they decided not to and now you expect me to believe they care enough about the established lore to fix these plot holes?
@@marychocolatefairy " "discourse" Why do I suddenly have an urge to twerk to cringy mumble rap
Ikr! If it's sh*t at the beginning it will continue to be sh*t, it will not suddenly turn into gold.
Padawan Ahsoka, in the clone wars was defeated by a Bounty Hunter, who didn't even have a lightsaber.
Padawan Anakin, The Chosen One, was defeated by Count Dooku.
Yet somehow, this Padawan can hold her own against a Sith.... right.
And anakin was the most gifted padawan who ever lived... but still got beaten up.
ah yes, cherry picking. I guess you guys forgot about that one time that Obi-Wan defeated Maul as a padawan
@@rvthzoidboth Maul and Obi-Wan were apprentices, and initially Maul gained the upper hand over Obi wan. Maul's own arrogance backfired on him, and that is why Obi wan caught him off guard.
Dooku was a seasoned duelist who's skill was superior to both Obi-Wan's and Anakin's at the time of Episode II.
@@reidveryan9414 And Qimir could be a Sith apprentice, IF he's a Sith at all (he kinda says he isn't in the show). Also keep in mind at the time he's fighting Jeckie he has already fought all the Jedi except her, and killed most of them which I imagine would be tiring. He was also distracted with shittalking Mae, and then chasing her (which is still kinda dumb, maybe he has ADHD?), plus I guess Jeckie was just talented and she still ended up biting the dust.
@@rvthzoid You're going to accuse others of cherry picking when you're picking the one cherry on the tree? The power levels in this fight are nonsensical and no amount of "Well, actually..." is going to change that.
I think they took the same dance choreographer they did in The Last Jedi for the fight where Kyle Loren kills Snok. I don't get why they don't take real sabre martial artists to do that job. Nope, they take dance choreographers to make a lightsaber break-dance scene instead.
They can't afford _real_ choreography with a measly 180 million.
Hey, those actors all went to some fine arts college, and they're gonna put those $20,000 dance course lessons to use damn it!!!
Omg, thank you. Everyone keeps talking about how great the fight choreography was, but the amount of deliberately missed strikes is fucking comical.
Phantom Menace this most DEFINITELY ain't
Anytime there is a scene with multiple combatants taking on a single person it almost always turns out poorly. I thought the same thing when watching the throne scene in The Last Jedi. Everyone I'm with walks out praising it meanwhile I'm thinking "did we watch the same fight?" Because there are so many swings at the air that we they about to create a category 3 hurricane.
Honestly, feeding a person to giant insects sounds lot more cruel and dark then just killing them with a lightsaber.
Lightsaber would be faster and lot less pain.
Unless you've read the script and know that he's going to be fine and escape from them without a mark on him in a minute or two.
Osha just wanted to do some kill stealing
It would have made more sense if she used the droid as a distraction instead of a painfully set up alternative
@@cubeflinger It's also nice that the insects waited for her to have an unrelated scene inbetween.
That is the worst possible haircut technique. The ends are going to split like Lizzo's pants and she's going to smell like burnt hair for weeks (because I don't think you can actually WASH braids). For the life of me, I don't understand how a woman-led show didn't realize this...
I keep picturing Disparu as the "sith lord" during this whole fight. The entire time he's ripping the entire thing to shreds as he's fighting. "Oh look, you clearly missed me, now I've cut your head off". Especially what he says about the bit with May, about how even the audience knew. Perfect 4th wall break.
I'm waiting for lines like:
Wounded Jedi: Help, I'm wounded, call me a doctor!
Sith: OK, you're a doctor.
Smash cut to closeup of the smiley mask with the Psycho Wojak/Le Scary Face meme overlay fading in momentarily, a good old rimshot sound effect and a WIlhelm scream as the sith kills him lol
Now I know why her pocket droid was never given arms or legs.
It would have run, jumped, crawled, scrambled FAR FAR AWAY from her as soon as it was able.
Pocket droids? Really? Ugh.
Compare that to the bros Cal Kestis and BD-1....
I bet it probably has the option to vibrate though 😏
Why wouldn't it go apeshit saying "This isn't Osha! This is not Osha! I have been stolen!"
Like there was NO reason to make this thing a DROID, it's a fucking multi tool!
maybe it had arms and legs but OSHA was like: "no, no, no, what we said we do if you try to run again?"
Beskar, cortosis could explain some instances... but the guy had no vambraces at 31:03 so...
They are NOT being clever here, it's pure bs.
"What are you?"
"There are some who call me.......Tim?"
We should totally not kill him and let him go. Last time we did that he only came back later and killed 8 Jedi. It will be fine.
It's so baffling that they let him go considering that they try to kill him with bugs a moment later...
"Morally grey".
@@scotttimbrell8632 You misspelled 'grey' I think... tehehe
They let him go earlier when they knew he supplied the poison that killed Torbin and that he took over for the real apothecary (probably by killing him, not that they bothered investigating how he took over the shop).
Batman: so what if he killed a bunch of people that you cared about? Killing him is NOT justified because that will make you no different than he is.
Master Squid Games not killing a Sith is very dumb, it’s not like it hasn’t happened in Star Wars before. Nobody dunked on Obi Wan for chopping Darth Maul in half. 🙄
No, in fact I remember it was heavily praised despite people actually LIKING Darth Maul.. No one gives a shit about these greasy edgelord. Kill him and move the fk on.
Obi wan killed grievous with godsdammed blaster! And nobody cared, he could've killed smiles there without a problem..
Obi-Wan casually dismembered a drunk thug in a bar just for threatening Luke.
well Anni did stop Mace from killing Palp, but he was confused at the time.
But, don't you know it's not right to take revenge on someone who's pathologically evil, has killed all your comrades, and plans on attacking you with murderous intent... unless they have a weapon in their hand.
good lord, this show is pure nonsense. how are they gonna explain how nobody realizes osha is got a facial tattoo all of a sudden? why can't they get a read from the force? how dumb are these people? how can you defend any of this crap?
“I sense something familiar”
“Yeah, the guy from Pulp Fiction”
Brilliant 😂
The LIGHT sabers did not attract the light-loving bugs, but a little white light did? 😶
Because the moth-eagles thought those were Bud Lightsabers, they are still boycotting it.
@@floydlooney6837 😂
That's what I was thinking! Lightsaber fights are very flashy. Meaning they emit a lot of light. How did the writers not catch this??!? The moths should have been eating them up! This would have added a cool layer to the fight. The Jedi and this guy fighting while having to fight off the moths as well. Or have them use the moths against each other
@@jtheposs.... The more we go on, the more I think it's chat gpt written.
Stop noticing flaws in this show. The show is ferpect.
I laughed my azz off when I saw Jonas "Kelnacca" Suotamo's name in the main cast credits. All he did was slump in a chair with a saber gash in his side! Bravo! Master class acting!
Lmao. Even Vin Diesel did more acting as Groot🤣
Could've just propped up the suit and saved the trouble.
I agree, best acting in the show. 😂
idk. I* believed he was a dead wookie
@@thac0twenty377 No, I believed this was Joonas Suotamo’s bid for an Oscar. Stick a mannequin in the fur suit and the effect is the same.
15:26 He said that the Sith had no method to his way of fighting.... but I really think none of this Jedi have been ever in a light saber duel. If so.. against whom? There were no Sith for a 1000 years... right?
The guy triple tapped that Padawan. Damn he really must know what series of Star Wars he's from.
That was way faster than just piercing her once and then flicking the saber sideways. I admit I'm surprised they would off a stunning and brave character like that.
Sol should know Mae is impersonating Osha but he will be shown to be clueless.
I think the little rodent Basil will save Sol's ass and warn him. Rodent already knows something is not right.
Mae is wearing Osha's clothes, so where was the rodent sniffing to know Osha really well??
Jeckie's fingers.
@@Karzir1 Yaaaasssss. Yasss!
That forehead tattoo should be a little bit of a clue
I think he will try but she gets rid of him. Because she is morally ambiguous and HE was about to ruin her all good plans making him evil. Cartman-wise.
Apparently this is Headland's favorite episode. Makes sense as it was stupider than even the flashback covet of space witches who died despite having the "power of many threads".
Because if you think about it, along with her most likely not reading any scripts for the show, or forgetting them, she actually thought the plot twist was good. I wonder how she feels noticing all the reviewers understanding the plot twist by Episode 1?
My TV turned off is brighter than this show 😂
The Lightsaber shorting out is due to Cortosis, a rare old EU mineral, assuming Disney are aware of such things
Completely forgot this show even existed
Same here. Haven’t watched a single episode
I wish I could forget
Basically, yea
How can you forget? Shitting on it is the worlds new favorite thing xD
Cant forget with the amount of content dissecting this shitfest of a show ive watched by now (havent watched a single episode tho)
It's nice to see them paying homage to Blazing saddles when the sheriff holds himself hostage. 'But they are so dumb'.
Paying homage? You're giving them too much credit, I don't think they've even seen that movie.
That's assuming these people even watch movies.
Nah, Blazing Saddles would be to much for these people. They would break down in hysterics in the first 5 minutes
@@StarStuff. I didn't think for a minute that they were trying to homage Blazing Saddles and not in my wildest dreams wished to give them credit, rather, in my ham fisted way was attempting to highlight how the plot could only been seen as rational in a comedy. (I would add Blazing Saddles was irreverent, genius that addressed topics in a wonderful way, oh times have changed).
@@11royals96 oh I got what you meant and agree completely. These "beings" will never reach (or even get near)the genius of Blazing Saddles with their one braincell aiming for third place (and lose).
I hate Disney.
ME2!!!! Now more than EVER!!!! When I think about the $ I and my family spent over the years……
I am genuinely shocked someone in charge of this series knew that cortosis was a thing.
Dumb luck.
That's all that it is
I'll bet they didn't, and after it was pointed out someone who did know bailed them out.
Anyone who does HEMA or fencing that watches that fight scene died a bit inside i think.
I'm pretty sure Shadiversity got stage 11 brain cancer from watching it.
@@emanwe01 I can only imagine, I’m only experienced with long sword saber and small sword/ rapier and I was cringing the whole time
@@manatarmsfittness8874My condolences to your brain cells.
Shad doesn't do HEMA. He will be perfectly fine.

It’s amazing how writers of these shows have never heard of the word “continuity”
Used to be a thing in the movie and TV biz. Maybe it still exists, but someone would get a credit for continuity.
here is more of consistency, and well continuity but that is more on a bigger more generic manner xD
They never heard of consistency and if they have its evil no wonder dave filoni can't write for shite when characters can't remember what they said 5 mins ago and it's been going since the frist episode when yord mentioned to osha about her mother's and sister being dead yet says to squid game later on I didn't know she was a twin what the hell it's on record at the jedi temple I'm sure and failoni green lit this trash f**k me.
Its like they watched The Force Awakens, saw Kylo Ren stop lasers and I guess time in the opening, and then lose a force/lighstaber battle to someone who never had training, and decided to speed run it in 5 minutes.
A great anime call Kenichi the strongest disciple once said "If you want freedom by terrorizing other than it not freedom you want, its tyranny" he said that to a villain who claim he want freedom
Star Wars The Acolyte Series 1 Episode 5 review, the lightsabre fight episode. This episode is the best because it has the most action, which means the least talking. Strangely the small amount of talking that does exist in the episode, is truly awful with characters swapping motivations not just from the previous episode like before, but also this one. Mae has pretended to be evil, then good, surrender then fight, and now go back to being evil again in the same episode. This episode only happened because the Sith lord said she betrayed him, but now she's doing what he wanted again. At this point the most amazing thing is no-one at Disney realised any of this was a problem. But what did you think of what you saw? Let me know your thoughts down below and as always, thanks for watching :)
Sith of the old republic were better, they at least waited until the fight ended before killing each other
How'd you get down here buddy? Let's get you pinned back up at the top ok?
The one positive of this series is it introduced asian Ezra Miller. That now gives WB the opportunity to recast Harry Potter and Flash sequels (if they were to happen) with a guy who has never kidnapped children or attacked women (that we know of)!
Manny is actually a very good actor, I effing loved him in The Good Place. How he got roped into this pile of crap is beyond me.
Also the fact that they have my man from Squid Game (Lee Jung Jae, he was very prolific actor BEFORE Squid Game he’s very talented I knew him before) like wtf bro? Why did you hire my boy for this show??? 😂 I hope they paid him well because why have such a talented man come all the way from Korea to wherever they filmed this show???
Why would they? So far, they were always endorsing evil, virtue signalling as cover up.
If they are going to recast The Flash the actor should actually look like freaken Barry Allen from the comics.
@@nicoleackerman205 sadly we both know that will never happen.
I want to count how many times Jedi get kicked in the entire series. It's the only move that works on them with 100 percent efficiency. Who woulda thought a Muay Thai fighter would be invincible against the Jedi?
Well, it makes sense; your attention is focused on that instant-death weapon in their hands, so it's easy to take advantage of that with your feet.
Even bad daytime soap opera tries to follow a plot and make sense better.
He's using the old 'headbutt a lightsaber' trick!
The helmet and arm braces were made of Cortosis. In Legends Darth Vader also used a Cortosis Blade briefly however the material itself is extremely rare, it doesn't make sense why he's able to craft a helmet and braces
yet bashing it with a lightsaber hilt breaks it how it disrupts a weapon thats blade is 20 000 to 25 000 degrees celceius no problem but blunt physical attack breaks it come on man thats a clear ass pull.
There is a reason, not that they'll tell u. He has cortosis arm guards and helmet. It essentially absorbs blaster bolts and shorts out lightsaber blades.
@@robertharrison1058 There shouldn't even be a lightsabee fight in the first place. 7-8 Jedi Master present they would've just force hold Smilo Ren in place until hes incapacitated like how Ahoka held Darth Maul in place until the clones stunned him and lock him up 😭
@argotic8378 Aye, in Legends the Separatists were devising the C-B3 Cortosis Battle Droid line, but even that would have been a *huge* chunk out of their almost-limitless wealth and resources, merely because of how incredibly rare it is. Even in full production, the C-B3s would have been rare to see, and mostly limited to Jedi hunter-killer teams, I imagine.
For anyone that wants to realize how insane fighting eight people with a sword versus one would be just ask Chad because they probability of someone winning at odds that small are stupid to the point of absurdity.
Real life sure. But in fiction if the Gap in strenght is big enough characters can solo entire armies😂. It just depends on the context in the story. The Padawan doing the BEST against him outside of Sol is absolute BS though💀
@@no.1spidey-fan182 which raises a huge question how someone this strong in the force was completely neglected by every single Jedi in the entire organization and it wasn’t mentioned in the clone wars…
@@ASoberBear That is a GREAT question. This series really is a mess💀. At this point I'm sticking to Cal Kestis stories when it comes to star wars and I've been hearing great things about the original canon so I might even check that out🤔. As of right now though...Yh I'm DONE with Disney Star Wars unless its makes a COMPLETE 180😭
Wouldn't 7-8 Jedi Masters be able to force hold Smilo Ren in place until they get handcuff or back up? There Wouldn't even be a need to draw a Saber with 7-8 Jedi Masters present
Edit: Unless I'm mistaken isn't that how Ahsoka captured Darth Maul at the end of Clone Wars? Ahsoka force hold Darth Maul in the air until a clone trooper stuns him
in fiction, generally the bad guys take turns losing unless script needs a capture, then they dogpile...at least Maul retreated until by chance he separated them...id run and maybe take the fastest one alone....rinse and repeat...untill too tired, which happens fast when under real stress....in video games i never get tired
"The Jedi do not attack the unarmed..." said moments after hand-to-hand combat. Clearly, the show's script is just a series of unrelated events that happen to be placed next to each other.
Yes, Yes, Yes.
Bro I just came across your channel and I immediately loved it! You make watching your commentary so much more entertaining than any Star Wars show or movie since Episode 3!
Virtually no weight but they make such wild swings, wasting time and opening themselves to attack.
Ya hafta swing 'em like a baseball bat. Looks so cool. Apparently.
Which is literally contrary to what the Jedi sword training guy said in the last episode!
Let the Star Wars die. Kill it if you have to
- Jizzney, probably
So who wanna bet the master of Smilo Ren is Lesly Headland's wife, Shrek?
Jord and the horned freak dies? That's a win for the series.
Remember that Palpatine struggled against four Jedi?
Black girl magic!!!! LMFAO
2:33 - speaking from the entire Blond Comunity - we refuse to take her in.
In episode 5 of the (Ej)Acolyte, Leslye Headland's mega blockbuster hit show,
she sets out to show the world what you get if AI writes a script and the only prop is farting into the mic.
It starts off batsh%t crazy right out of the gate with Amandla Stenberg releasing a clip from her latest therapy session,
which is mandated by court order, to counter her lose grip on reality which she took in the streets of New York City because her agent told her that this is so relateble and completely normal.
While she is rambling nonsense about always being the victim, the decisive part of the surrounding people trying to reason with her,
after being caught offguard by her sheer amount of stupidity, is cut out.
While her reality collapses all around her, she tries to play it off by jumping on trends from like 3 years ago like ASMR and close
black/white shots to her face to make her look like she is in touch with her fellow people again.
But unfortunately for her the Danish aren't buying it.
In between she shoves in some sick dancing performances to show off that she finally achieved her black belt in
Wacky-Inflatable-Tube-Woman and flails her whole body around like this is a fight scene where they CGI in her opponent later.
Now that the breakdown of reality has destroyed the concept of causality,
the audience is adjusted to the level of sheer incompetence on display and can watch the actual show without being too suprised when everything turns out to be god damn stupid.
Then things start to fall apart again when Amandla tries to act like she was an actual human being. But with no time or ability to think, Amandla starts to act like Steven Seagel instead as the result of being exposed to too many of his movies as a child and because she hates her father.
By embracing the way of Sensei Seagal, she manages to dig deep into her creativity and strucks gold when the potential
2025 Golden Rasberry nominee and human equivalent of a participation trophy puts on a legendary performance,
that blew all of her two fans away, by portraiting both force-sisters in the show the exact same way.
Amandla Stenberg truly has emotions on another level. She can seemlessly go from angry to disgusting, hungy, confused, bored, lonely, jealous, insecure, stupid and washed up without ever changing her facial expressions.
This dedication goes so far that the two characters even share their haircut because apparentely they go to the same hairstylist who turns out to be a huge fan of the Chapelle's Show and was deeply inspired by Dave's impersonation of Rick James while cutting their hair.
Now the only questions worth answering in this show are when is one of them gonna say "I'm Rick James, b%tch!" and who the f%ck is gonna be Charlie Murphy in that scenario.
My money so far is on Smilo Ren/Darth Teeth aka Bucket-Head, Squid Game guy aka Phyuck Yiu or dumb shirtless guy aka Team America's Matt Damon.
Now Leslye Headland, who has the natural charisma of Leatherface and is nearly as attractive is him, dictates some ridiculous action scenes that gonna turn out to be completely pointless and somewhat CGIed to the limit of human consumtion, which can only be described as the sceneastic equivalent of Leslye Headland and the rest of the production crew playing russian roulette with a fully loaded six-shooter; so basicly your average fight scene in a Steven Seagal movie.
While some of the choreography turns out to be actually good, the audience has collective stroke when Bucket-Head uses his
Bucket-Head to headbutt a light saber out of functionality which is crutial for the show so the audience knows it still f%cking hates them.
Even though the audience was adjusted to stupidity they didn't expect that someone with an IQ lower than Simple Jack wrote this episode.
If AI had actually written the script for this show it would've already self-destructed due to the increasing amount of continuity errors and because it would feel more ashamed than the actual writers ever could.
Even the Jedi with the broken light saber looks confused into the camera because he can't even comprehend how stupid that was.
After questioning the choices that lead him to this miserable point in his life, he dies shorty after, not by the hands of Bucket-Head, but rather just out of embarresment for being in this travisty.
It's scientificly proven that there are only two things that can counter the attack with a light saber.
1. Another light saber
2. The spin kicks of Jean Claude Van motherf%cking Damme!
We've seen nether of those things, so this lore-breaking mess leads to nowhere and is really god damn stupid.
If the writers want their show to make any sense at all at this point, I suggest you introduce JCVD as fast as possible.
Van Damme is so damn likeble and versityle, it would make Star Wars actually watchable again because we'd get to see
the flexibility of Spider-Damme, the durability of Aqua-Damme and the determination of CapDamme America in one awesome package.
So far Van Damme has already used hand guns, submachine guns, assault rifles, knifes, glass bottles, exploding alcohol crates and your own self-doubt, you name it he uses it. So he wouldn't have problems using a light saber but the weapons of ass destruction known as his spin kicks are the greatest weapons mandkind has ever known and would make a light saber look useless in comparison.
In order not to undersell Van Damme's awesomeness; it's commonly known that his spin kicks are not just awesome to watch but are also capable of shattering our understanding of time as a linear concept and reality itself which means that, while he's at it, he could spin kick Lucasfilm back in time before they were bought by Disney, and spin kick Kathleen Kennedy out of a job and out of exsistence right before heading out to celebrate in a certain bar in Thailand for several hours.
This act of selflessness and benevolence would not just restore Star Wars, it would also bring world peace, JCVD's gonna win Oscars, Grammys, Golden Globes, the 1st prize of the science fair of the 3rd street school in Carson, Colorado, Pulitzers, the Nobel prize in every category, statues would be build after his appearance, streets would be named after him and, most importantly, Disney and Steven Seagal would be completely pissed off about it.
But this is a Disney Star Wars show and giving the audience what they want is against Disney's backwards morality.
This last joke falls flat on my end; Disney Star Wars shows just like Seagal movies don't have audiences.
Epic rant! 🎉🎉
The "natural charisma of Leather face and is nearly as attractive is him" Line got me bad xD
Classic Space Ice moment
Now I suddenly feel the urge to see the Street Fighter movie, dood.
Apparently Sol used the fire and created an explosion the night Osha and Mae lost their mums and aunts. Never made any sense that Mae destroyed the entire place with a fire that wasn’t even quick.
Mae: I did everything for you! Including leaving you for dead in this uninhabited forest planet with no supplies, no ship, no guide, and a sith lord
If you order your Roncoe branded Swiss Army Laser Sword in the next 10 minutes we’ll also include an rgb crystal compatible with the pip app. That’s right! Not only do you get: a laser sword, a flashlight, electric shears, one of those spikes climbers use in the side of a mountain, toothpick, home body piercer, and can opener, but, and I can’t do this long, If you are one of the first 50 to order we’ll include the bonus feature of boomerang effect at no extra charge! Just pay shipping and handling. So get your Roncoe Swiss Army Laser Sword and you’ll never lose your keys when dropped in the dark, always have a lighter should you need to burn any stone buildings, and much, much more. Please call now! 😊
Super Padawan, better than the masters, is going to survive 3 impalements isn't she?
No she died plot armour was on cool down at that moment.
I haven’t watched a minute of The Acolyte, but I haven’t missed a minute of your reviews.
Its a good thing that the forest fight is so dark. Means we can't see how terrible they choreograph the sword duel. Hope shadiversity gets to break it down.
You know what is dumber about Evil twin cutting her hair... She has a spiral of magic witch stuff on her face, making her look different
How exactly does Mae get the yellow lightsaber with which she cuts her own hair? She was handcuffed by Jeckie after a fashion. Jeckie took Kelnacca’s lightsaber, which was green, from Mae, and used it to fight Smilo Ren, by whom she is killed. Smilo Ren kills the insufferable idiot Yord by breaking his neck (after cutting off this leg, which Yord somehow walks off). Smilo Ren also cuts through the link in Mae’s handcuffs, but does not remove them. Mae eventually runs away. I do not recall Mae picking up a lightsaber; I presume she would have fought Smilo Ren with it if she had. Nor do I recall Mae removing her cuffs. Mae hugging Osha reveals no unattached cuffs on her wrists. And Mae has this yellow lightsaber from … where?
AI had to be used to write this script.
Disney should seriously pay you, sir. This is the only way I'll "watch" Disney+.
Imagine on Disney + where you have the option to watch the show or watch Disparu's review. Disney would be even more humiliated.
I'm so glad the face slice off made it in this video lmfao
They tried to give the girl the Obi Wan treatment (being as strong/stronger than the master) but Obi was a hair away from being a knight. Also there was lore behind how powerful and wise he was. Also, being a sith apprentice is outrageously painful and hard. No way you just say “meh, not feeling it anymore”.
One of your best reviews. Thank you. You saw that fluorescent tube fight multiple times? My heart goes out to you.
Gotta love how this show follows the same writing style of Gotham Knights where every scene is its own continuity and nothing that happened in the previous scene matters for the next.
If only the Sith Lord had some sort of power that could move things he wasn't able to reach with his hands.
Honestly i will have to say, for split second they managed to make the discount Ezra Miller actually really cool. Like old star wars cool. Didn't last long, and only made impression out of context but it's more than i expected from Star Wars at this point.
