MY REVIEW ON ACOLYTE SEASON 1!! A MUST WATCH OR A PASS?

- ‘The Acolyte’ Episode 8 Recap And Review: A Terrible Season Finale Despite Cliffhangers And ‘Star Wars’ Cameos - The Acolyte was a mess from start to finish and Tuesday night’s jumbled season finale only strengthens my belief that this was a show that needed about three more drafts before going to production.
Everything about this show is rough and messy, and the two very fun cameos in the finale (which we’ll discuss below) can’t save it from itself. Spoilers, naturally. I suppose we shouldn’t be surprised that Osha goes to the Dark Side this episode, and that Mae-by dint of losing her memory-goes over to the good guys. After all, Osha was wearing black by this point and Mae was all in white. How subtle! Then again, it’s hard to tell who the good guys are anymore, or who the bad guys are, because The Acolyte is just so angsty and edgy. It’s Star Wars for adults! Or something. Let’s be real, subverting expectations and deconstructing the Jedi is just so 2017. The Acolyte seems hellbent on portraying the Jedi in the worst possible light and I might be able to accept this if it were just the coverup at the end when Vernestra somewhat bizarrely pins all the killings on Sol when she goes before the Senate tribunal. But this show wants very badly for us to think that what the Jedi did on Brendok is some horrific crime, when I’m right there with Sol: He was trying to protect children from what very much appeared to be a terrifying Dark Side witch cult.

I don't understand how they couldn't let Sol live through this season. So now all four of them have kicked the bucket. Very lame. The actor who played Sol made the show watchable.
Still better than turning him to the dark side... I was praying for that not to happen. Still miss Sol ofc
I understand why he had to Die.
I originally thought that they would all die except prob Osha or Mae( I could see how it could go both ways)honestly the ending we got was trash anyways so idrc
Sol died for nothing.
He killed her mom, you never touch someones mother.
That's the point.
@@jamesrevere2992bro the mother turned into a fucking demon after getting into Torbin’s head, who knows what other sorcery she could do, Sol killing the mother was justified imo.
@@jamesrevere2992yeah. After their mom also tried to kill the kids..
@@dzmyyy Okay? Osha doesn’t know that. And she probably wouldn’t even care why he did it anyway.
Yoda be like "Fucketh up the cannon did you woman!"
😂😂😂
what you calling yourself a jedi, if all you do is lie you woman
back you go to beeing a padawan, to learn what jedi is supposed to mean i think
would be closer to the call me thinks
@@shoganmajere7913bro said "me thinks" do you live in a damp cave somewhere
Are you under the impression that Sol is meant to appear in Star Wars media taking place after this???
They did master sol dirty
He got what he deserved for Killing Mother Aniseya
The show is based on Gynocentricism, what did expect?
@@starkillerab1582 Aniseya was a fucking psychopath, she got into Torbin's head when she almost killed him, the death threats were rude, the Jedi told her they were investigating his cult, if they didn't attack them there wouldn't be a problem, she became a ghost to attack him and he defended himself. Also, unlike Mae and her murderous tantrum, he lived with remorse and learned from that, Osha and Mae did not.
@@starkillerab1582 That was not done on purpose, numpty. The actor playing Sol made this show watchable and now they got rid of him too. Congrats.
@@carlosdavidsabogalmotta4327 agreed. All the witches were fucked up for allowing something like Osha and Mae to be created. How in any one's right mind would think that it would work out? That's just calling for drama! Look how being separated has ruined these girl's life. It's a MISERABLE way to live and the witches should have considered that they would be separated at one point- and did any of these dumbass witches ever bother to think, "Hey, if these girls get separated, that would be terrible for all of us." I think Mother Aniseya and Koril were selfish and immature af, they mocked life- they think they can make whatever they want without any complications? I feel like they killed others to create life. I think Sol was justified in his actions to kill Aniseya, and I also think he was justified in only saving Osha. And even though lying to Osha about their mother may not have been a smart move in the long run, the poor dude should not have died because of it- he literally suffered his ENTIRE LIFE from his own actions already. These witches killed him and all the other Jedi. At least metaphorically.
Even though this series was horrendous I hope the actor for Sol gets more roles in future shows/movies. He learned english for this abomination
Oh, don't worry about him. He is Lee Jung-jae, and he is a top star in Korea. Getting more roles is the least of his problems
@@andrewchung2940roles in the us, doorknob
I don't understand why you ppl that hated this watched it all the way through.
Don't worry, he was the one who stood out the best from this.
@@jamesrevere2992Jeez, you just like to go around snapping at people for no reason. Calm down, clown 🤡
Sol doing a force repulse straight out of Force Unleashed 0:51
Hell yeah!
too cool to live 😔
Bruh she has the same
Facial expression for 8 episodes 😂
I just saw a few clips from the finale and dear god her acting is just the same face. Its just awful.
@@giovannirodriguez3407 Her acting is good from her other works, it all depends on the direction.
One of the worst actresses ever, they just cast anyone these days
Bro its just New this is Star Wars People Always Find a Way to Hate Cause they Got Too Much Time I need Watch the Episodes to See for myself
Her emotional acting rage: 😐
Master Sol..❤😢
My heart breaks for poor Sol.
You can't just bleed a kyber crystal that easily. In the comics, darth vader struggled to bleed his crystal. So i dont get why its done so easily here
Could it being cracked and damaged have something to do with it?
Wanna know how, cuz the writers for this show don’t actually know any lore
@DubeIncorperated she did the bleeding process through the hilt. If I'm correct you have to have the crystal out for it to be done and even then it's super hard. So even if it being cracked had something to do with it. I don't think she could bleed it through the hilt
Because woke Disney want it so
@@genericstarwarsfan9190 it wasn't through the hilt. Check the scene again. Her skin was touching the crystal. It started bleeding before Sol even died. At 4:16 the crystal is already bleeding while her skin is touching it.
She just force choked a Jedi Master like it's nothing? Please dont make a season 2.
Yup Disney wrecked star wars.
The fucking lightsaber changing colors like a mood ring is just fucking disgusting
Facts!
Lol not facts. It has happened before
She changed the Crystal when she got angry...
Such a shit show.
She killed Jedi and bled crystal last step to darkside was killing without weapon as they were same being split in two by witches...
Poor Master Sol… he ended up killing the mother in fear that she was gonna do something bad to Mae and had every right. Then his own friend put the blame of EVERYTHING on him.
How was that woman even a Jedi? Sol was flawed, but he was still more of a Jedi than she’ll ever be. He made a mistake, but it was an accident, I mean he was just human. Even a Jedi isn’t immune from this.
Does anyone know why the witches taught the twins the term "sacrifice"?
Sol had no right
@@XDethX yeah he did
@@XDethX He didn't do it out of cruelty or hatred like Mae did. The situation in the temple got out of control, but he never wanted that to happen because the witches were frankly hostile. He never felt proud of killing people like Mae did. There's a huge difference.
2:11 It was so terrible, she doesn't even try to pretend that she was trying to hit it.
I love how Osha can bleed a kyber crystal in two seconds because she's "angry" while Anakin Skywalker, the most powerful Jedi ever and a guy who LITERALLY MURDERED CHILDREN and loathed Obi-Wan, doesn't automatically do the same to his crystal.
Like what-
Anakin didn't think he was doing anything wrong, though. He felt bad about having to do it, but he was convinced that taking down the Jedi was a necessary sacrifice. He didn't really start cracking until Obi-Wan showed up. Osha, however, flat-out murdered Sol in a moment of extreme anger. She wasn't making any sacrifices, she just wanted to kill him because he pissed her off. That's pure evil so straight to the red crystal she goes.
@@simdae1 okay, fine, lets say he just felt pure remorse while attacking the Jedi Temple, but what about the Separatists? Nute Gunray? The person who tried to have his wife assassinated countless times? He HATED them and was more than eager to kill every last person on Mustafar. Yet no red lightsaber during his vengeful rage-filled slaughter?
Osha's saber changing colors was done solely because "rule of cool" and not because any actual thought went into it.
@@TheTruMan196Anakin wasn’t fully committed, he was really conflicted. You see him crying on Mustifar because he has regretted what he has done, he murdered his friends and compatriots with remorse, not with anger. He thought he had no choice to save padme
@@spartan4045 again, the Separatists were NOT his friends. He HATED them. And the entire duel with Obi-Wan he was TRYING TO KILL HIM. Yet his lightsaber never turned red because that's stupid.
How are you defending this?
Artistic license.
Man he was about to say "because... I love you" they did him so dirty and this show humiliated the light side of the force man.
Pretty sure that's the point?
Not really. There have always been selfish individuals who are jedi
They didn't "humiliate" light force... Just because angry teenagers and corrupted Sith thought Jedi to be "evil" or selfish, doesn't mean we're supposed to see them that way
Agreed #JusticeForSol
@@Comicbroe405they didn't do a good job at that😂
So Venestra lies to Yoda and he believes her .. WTF
Nobody says Yoda believes her, we don't see his reaction. They better give us a good explanation later
@@dikastederook6380 when did they ever gave us a good esplanation? Only thing they do is gaslight and make it MySterIouS so the fans can come up with good solutions in their own heads to fill those plotholes.
But did you watch the episode?? Vernestra tells Yoda the truth
@@leocaso7803Didn't she cover everything up?
@@yevgeniyaleshchenko849 Yes from the Senate and the Chancellor, so they don't investigate in Jedis ' mansions, but not from Mae and Yoda, she told them everything
Star Wars Jedi Survivor did the bleeding of the crystal… Wayyyy Better than that 💩
It did everything this show did but better
why comment when your just gonna say that
well, they killed the best character in this series, well done...
Dude there were plenty of cool characters you ABSOLUTELY are going to watch season 2 because you actually liked it.
They haven't confirmed a seson 2 yet and we all hope they never do
Umm yes, the season was bad.. But now with introduction of Yoda don't you think the story will pick up? Not defending the stupid act of Osha/mae. But still.. just a thought.
@@ScenesmaniaNope...
@@Scenesmaniawe need a season 2 now!
@@gleove1 hell no this show does not need a season 2 it was one of the worst and garbage trash show I ever watch And plus I hope it gets cancelled
@@Jasonbowgaming You're not forced to watch it. Stop playing the victim.
So you're telling me Anakin had the power to turn his blue lightsaber red all this time if he got angry enough?
Because I know Anakin has way more stress and getts more stressed than Osha. Disney messing up lore once again.
This show isn't canon to real fans. It's nothing but a mockery
It wasn't stress tho? Feelings of intense hate towards her father figure.
The crystal has to be exposed to be able to bleed it.
@@rl00668 You’re not a real fan
@@Comicbroe405 Obi-wan was a father/brother figure to Anakin, that dosent tell me anything. That makes it more confusing as to why his saber didn't turn red especially in the final battle on Mustafar.
That last one was just for shock value
"Legacy of The Jedi is their failures"
Sol: osha, the sith are evil
Osha: FROM MY POINT OF VIEW, THE JEDI ARE EVIL
Sol "loved" her...
If Jecki saw this he would hate Osha.
I always imagined the bleeding of a kyber crystal to be a more f***ed up meditation, where one holds the crystal in their hands, putting all their hate and anger into it. This lightsaber color change is ridiculous.
WAIT!!! Hold up! So, Obi-Wan, Anakin, and Master Yoda have dropped their lightsabers at some point, and it worked fine for them later, but May tossed a lightsaber aside, and it cracked a Kyber crystal?
I hope the Sol lightsaber replica made from Saber has a change color mode where you can change from blue to red. But its very expensive as they are duel worthy plastic
Pass. You dont instantly bleed a crystal like this. Vader failed i do believe in his first attempt to bleed the crystal he got from the barash vow dude with the scar on his chest whom he killed. In an amazing duel.
Acolyte was probably the best Star Wars story since Star Wars part 4 Another Hope.
This is so cool, sarcastically speaking.
It's all silly.
Here you have it - the Jedi are bad - the Sith are good.
If Yoda knows about the incident he's scum - if he gets played he's dumb :-(
And why is the tracker even sabotaging the ship?
Why didnt Lucas ever tell us the Jedi is bad he lied to watchers all this time
Noone says that Jedi are "evil". On the contrary, we see that Sol made a mistake trying to protect the children, but he wasn't "evil", Witches provoked them and instigated the conflict. Mae and Osha in their teenage anger refuse to see the full picture thus blaming everything on Jedi while we the audience are supposed to understand how twisted and corrupted Mae and Osha have become.
@@yevgeniyaleshchenko849 I agree. I'm thinking the jedi leaders being shifty...
Yoda even knew the Jedi would fall and did nothing
Ah yes, yet another case of the Star Wars fandom not holding the prequels and Disney shows to the same standard, so here if he doesn't realise the truth of an event no living Jedi has witnessed he's dumb but when he spends over a decade with a Sith master as the Supreme Chancellor without realising anything that's absolutely fine?
This show was the She-Hulk of the Star Wars universe. Absolute garbage 🗑.
Nope. Cope.
@@discobroccoli198The only cope is you.
@@MegaDarkness5000 Cope
@@discobroccoli198 This show will be forgot in in less then a month
Neither show is bad.
It’s just so… lame.. their mom turned into a freakin shadow monster. If the mother said anything at all this all could have been avoided. Sol didn’t do anything wrong. Why is the light side of the force constantly being demonized? While the dark side constantly now being sexualized and shown like we’re supposed to empathize with evil? It’s weird man.
Apparently they keep forgetting that the High Republic era took place BEFORE the Jedi turned themselves into a mindless security force of the Republic (and their benefactors) rather than maintaining their TRUE task as being guardians of peace AND justice
She was going to save osha from the fire but got killed
@@XDethX Mae started the fire on the advice of one of her mothers, which is still strange, and literally, how was she supposed to know?
The show really isn't depicting Sol as the bad guy here, he's a guy desperately trying to do the right thing.
@@TheTurdle They literally make him out to be the bad guy.
wow the acting range of amandla stenberg. move over steven seagal, theres a new sheriff in town!
So strange because she was good in Hunger Games
@@sinistra7450 To be honest her was a child then, and the Hunger Games have never been recognized as works of art.
@@carlosdavidsabogalmotta4327 I agree but even as a child, she definitely showed much more emotions than in this show.
Mae Osha and Qimir are so evil. Just to kill all the Jedi.
during the dialogue between sol and osha, sol said “i was protecting you, i did the right thing” and then osha says “if it was the right thing to do why didn’t you tell the jedi” then sol says “without mae there was no proof that you were created in this way” and then osha says “why didn’t you tell me” then sol said “they would have send you away”. in short im a little confused what they are trying to say, can anyone explain?
If anyone complains that Master Yoda is in this Think about how old Master Yoda is.
It's not about his age its the fact that he's tainted by being present.
Everyone knows he’s old mate. People are complaining that’s he’s being dragged into a shitty show
@benlewis5312 Bro he was in the prequels back flipping around like a monkey. This is nothing compared to that goofball shit.
Bruh no one who knows anything about SW would say this.......ya know cause he lived like 900 years.....like.
@@DocDarknessBeing present? How so? The only reason I can think is that Yoda would smell Venestras bullshit & actually dig into the matter rather than just accept her account of events.
The lightsabers look so cheap
If Osha could break Sol's neck, why could not Anakin break Obi Wan's neck? That does not make any sense for me!
Because Anakin and Obi Wan fought each other, while Sol accept his death and don't want to fight Osha, think before write please
@@leocaso7803 Sol defeated Qimir and he didn't accept his death. He wanted to talk with Osha. And it is very difficult to kill such a powerful force user with that way! Only Dooku, Sidious or other powerful sith could do that but Osha? Qimir can not do it but Osha can? Do you have other counterarguments? I like to argue
@@meisteryoda4263 Oh my god, you don't know how to think, Sok is initially taken by surprise, then he agrees to die because he regrets killing her mother, if he wanted to free himself he would have succeeded
Wait a minute. Kyber crystals don't change color depending on the emotional state of the user, do they? Or was this really a thing? Was it in canon? I'm a Legends guy, and I've never heard of it.
It’s the new canon explanation as to how Sith have red lightsabers., It’s no longer that they make their crystals artificially. This practice is called “bleeding your crystal” which involves having skin contact with it while pouring all your negative emotions into it. It was introduced in Vader comic of 2018. The process can be reversed which is how ahsoka got her white sabers and recently they’ve shown that’s how Luke got his green crystal
@@sebastianmaregatti Why? What was wrong with the old way? This just feels needlessly complex.
Thanks for the explanation, by the way!
@@tolowokeremostly because they decided to make the crystals attuned to the force and "alive" in a sense to bring more weight into the lightsaber is your life I think.
The sith bleeds them because using a crystal that doesn't belong to you is harder to use.
The Idiot might have wanted to explain that he had little choice in the matter, that he was defending himself and trying to save her.
And then she walks off into the sunset with the dude who kidnapped her and killed her friends, presumably to start a romantic relationship with him.
Wonderful show. Exactly the kind of message kids need these days.
You must seriously misunderstand the show if that's what you got from it.
Why'd you watch all the way through? You obviously hate it and KNOW it's trash, right? I started following you, I BET YOU you're going to watch season 2
I've never seen such stylish bleeding
Her range of emotions is a joke 😂 how they casted her?!?
He should of worked ohsha😭
So what was this “new lightsaber” the producer boasted about?
At least they saved the worst for last.
I liked it more when you can just find red crystals in a cave like in KotoR
What a waste this show was
They keep taking away the good stuff ending with the unnecessary death of Master Sol. A bored Stormtrooper wrote this fanfic with all the misfires.
What kind of a force choke hand gesture was that? 😂
They should have added Yoda earlier. That probably would have made this show just a tiny bit more tolerable to watch
Greatest masterpiece ever made. I am so attached to the characters. This is as elaborate as Game of Thrones.
💀
Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon with the flying part much?
Sol no debió morir, y no cambiaré de opinión
Lezly just added bleeding a lightsaber to red.......in this crapfest show????
In the immortal words of Taylor from Planet Of The Apes......Damn you all to hell.
Did the show just redcon itself by getting kybercrystals wrong..?
Nice. No longer canon means I can enjoy star wars again.
No, it did not. Literally every single complaint about this show breaking canon comes from people not paying attention, lol. Watch 4:15 again. The crystal is bleeding while she uses the dark side to kill Sol. The crystal is also in direct contact with her skin. Dagan Gera bled his in a similar fashion -- except he wasn't killing anyone, just focusing on the dark side.
As I said, show's so bad that even piracy is struggling.
I have waited a long time to see a SW character use two lightsabers to fight quasi Florentine style.....probably rapier/dagger.....kinda Four Musketeer like?
SWINO
Its just sad how it takes 30 years for Star Wars to tell us the Jedi is evil, why did Lucas lie to us all these years making ppl think they are good then it turns out they are evil and hate on lgbtq
Not only are Jedi Survivor's party sabers canon now, you're telling me a jedi master can't even defend against a force choke from a bargain bin sith?
He let her do it, because he said "it's okay", he felt responsible for everything that happened.
Sol no opuso resisstencia se sentia culpable
Should have stayed with CGI Yoda
Show over not watching it again
😂😂😂😂como se ve que el director de este ridiculo no sabia ni vga del lore de star wars para que un sable se buelva rojo se tiene que sangrar el cristal!!!!!
My lord this acting.... is so unbelievably garbage. Literally nothing in this show makes sense...
What a horrible ending, and they did Sol's ending totally wrong. I give this show a poor rating since episode five.
Sol was the only character who mafe this show interesting, the fact hes dead now is all the more reason to not watch the second season,
Hahahaha
And that right there - that's how cringe the new method of making a red lightsaber is.
Pathetic.
God the lightsaber effects look so bad. Looks like toys.
Sol big weird idc he had it coming lol 🤦🏾♂️
This show is an Abomination :|
Good thing it sucks And There's Never Gonna be a s2
Will all Forget it soon...
Unbelievably BAD
I’m all for season two
Yeah, we need a season 2!
the fing mom turned into a demon Ghost, this shows such trash 😂
Turd Wars ! Taking a dump at what George built lol . I want a Star Wars and Dead Pool mash up hahaha😊
Ok who’s who? I don’t watch the show so I don’t know, is the one in white the good one who put out the fire in space?
I knew it. I knew that Yoda would return. And people said, that it’s confirmed that he would not return
This is the worst star wars ever. The fight is so bad to the point of it being funny
Stupid Movie. We are all stupid for watching this stupid movie.
なんか素人の集まりで笑いを受けた狙いにしか見えない
Disney continues to paint the Jedi as evil while portraying the Sith as much better! Our SW world has changed due to poor writing and NSFW movements.
Alright
A series that had only three worth watching episodes and no real resolution

its a 3
garbage
This needs a second season.
Definetly not,its because of the support of people like you that Disney continues to destroy Swars

@@Force_user57 No need to be so harsh. Look if it isn't for you don't watch but for those of us who are interested want to see more. Besides season 2 may be better than season 1.

Sith master apprentice and Acolyte...
Even with the Rule of Two, there's usually more than two Sith active at a time. It's common for Sith apprentices to secretly train up their own apprentice in preparation of overthrowing their master (both Darth Vader and Count Dooku were guilty of this). Sometimes failed apprentices will try to create their own competing Rule of Two (Darth Maul did this during the Clone Wars). And that's not counting any rogue Sith who fell to the Dark Side or discovered the Sith teachings completely independently of the Rule of Two's master-student chain.
❤
So the jedi come and try to take away children from their family and even willing to kill the family to take them. Then lie about it and put the blame on the other child. Just to train one as a jedi that never became one.
Yet people keep defending these jedi saying theyre still good. Smh
The show was very lame.
