The Vespa chase scene isn't even the worst chase scene in Star Wars. The scene from the Obi-Wan Kenobi series was much worse. Trained bounty hunters running into clearly visible obstacles and comically let her escape through narrow paths that they could easily fit through until Leia runs right up to her pursuers and they capture her anyway. This is also the same series where Obi-Wan smuggles that same child out of a top secret Imperial Prison using the old child in a trenchcoat technique.
Right. I was thinking the same thing. A toddler wobbling around somehow outruns trained bounty hunters, and we are supposed to just believe that is possible. I saw someone made a video of that and overlaid the Rugrats theme song, and I was like yep, that pretty much nails it. Look... I expect to have to have some suspension of disbelief in the show about laser swords and emotional magic in space... but there are limits to how far that suspension can stretch before it simply just breaks.
Honestly pissed me off when Charlie asked if it could be worse than TBOBF, when we have Kenobi. That alongside The Acolyte are by far the worst Star Wars shows of all time. There is nothing redeemable about either of them.
Yeah... the only fully good one so far is Andor. Kenobi almost stopped me watching any of them it was just that bad. The Mandalorian makes the cultist Mando's out to be dumb redneck zealots and they are supposed to be the good guys. TBOBF is maybe one of the biggest wastes of talent I have ever seen. Ashoka simply assumes you know the characters and makes little sense while making the New Republic out to be corrupt selfish idiots. One of the marks of good writing is that you understand the bad guys motivation and reasons, but, in so much of this the bad guy is just another totalitarian psychopath with delusions of grandeur. Acolyte certainly has issues, but picking on the burning stone fort or fire in a vacuum is kind of missing the point in a canonical universe where lasers go pew in space and you can hear TIE engines there. I have no problem with portraying the Jedi as child stealing zealots, because if you are in a spiritual force user faith, then that is what they look like. Mostly it just feels like YA entertainment that does not stand up well to thinking about it. They still have time to screw it up properly, but it is by far not the worst Disney Star Wars.
It makes sense. A lightsaber goes through a wound and burns it, cauterizing it from the inside. But a throwing knife can be thrown with complete precision at the heart of a Jedi Master, instantly killing them because nothing cauterized the wound. In fact, Qui-Gon dying upon being stabbed through the gut only happened because he was a chump that didn’t think about getting his wound cauterized. /s
@@StarPlatinum3000obvious satire, but the lightsaber would not only cauterize the wound but also liquify and boil any internal organs remotely near the stab… so realistically no way of surviving a lightsaber stab in the direct midsection of the torso

I mean, user ratings can be pretty dumb too. Transformers 2 and 3 have a score in the 6 out of 10 range on IMDB. Those movies are objectively horrendous, implying they’re even mediocre is an insult to cinema itself.
@DJ-wl5qo mediocrity just means its not good, but watchable, which is where id put those two movies. Thats coming from someone who doesnt exactly care about the lore of transformers btw, which is likely why it has that rating. I think that goes to show how bad this show actually is from a community standpoint though, if your show is below a 3, that just says that even a more general audience really dislikes it.
Hey guys, get this: According to the bought and paid for news articles of Acolyte, everyone who hates it is just toxic, and the series is misunderstood! I kid you not, they are legit blaming the fans for the commercial failure of the show. Man, I never knew I could spontaneously become bigoted just from watching Acolyte!

@@brianmattei7134 Dude, it's bad. The biggest episode of Game of Thrones at its height of popularity, The Battle of the Bastards, had a budget of $11 million, and is better than anything Disney have done in their Star Wars TV shows.

@@brianmattei7134it's bad... Because the sets, costumes, special effects are all topnotch in dune 2, some even were mind-blowing. What's their excuse?
Critics are an absolute joke. The Rotten Tomato critic score is 84%, audience score is 15%. Why are critics still a thing? Who listens to those buffoons?
135 reviews compared to andors 608 The only reason it's scored so high is because many critics aren't watching it. And if they do they are Disney shills or see anything "diverse" as good
Critics are basically bought by disney, and most other corporations. Usually I dont trust critic or audience scores since its common for either to be flat out wrong. But reviewers i listen to at least to get an idea of the product.
How is every live action depiction of turning to the dark side SO BAD. It’s always “I’m good but disgruntled” to immediately “I’m now evil and murderous”. Even with Anakin you see him slowly slipping to the dark side then Boom he’s suddenly killing children, it always seems so forced and sudden. We only see realistic falls from outside material
Made by people whose fathers either disowned them or never gave them the time of day, who are now on a life's mission to inculcate society at large with their sad perceptions on life force and the source of energy in the universe, all in order to justify and fill that massive gaping hole in their souls that a good family life would have filled as nature intended.
except the sequels were 1000% better than the prequels. The only 2 movies that star wars fans didn't bitch about are the first 2. There is no pleasing star wars fans. you are not a logical group.
@@Joe-gw9wh If the flashback is unreliable then the entire narrative is unreliable, which is true yes but you're just coping. Unless, can you tell me why a dream is omniscient to the plot in a mystery of all things but a flashback isn't? I actually am trained in reading books. You can't say these things without backing them up with analysis.
Bugs the shit out of me how bad it’s become and I know 100% that I could write, produce, and overall create a better viewing experience than ANY of the Star Wars shows minus Andor and the cartoons. It’s mind boggling that they’re people getting paid 6 figures a year or more in charge of this pile of horseshit(s)
At least with the Torbin scene, Mae gave him an ultimatum: come forward about the truth about Jedi supressing other Force users, or attone for it by dying (and ironically allowing him to protect the cover-up). It's still dumb because Mae wasn't suddenly in a position to make that request, Torbin was still protected in his bubble.
“Fanfiction” is a little too generous, since the people that made this aren’t even fans. At least the 13yr olds writing fanfics try to put some passion in to their stories, even if it still turns out to be cringe
Hey, as a former fanfic writer, that’s an insult to fanfiction. I assure you I’ve seen 13-year olds write infinitely more imaginative and compelling writing than this kind of slop.
It boggles my mind how Disney is working with a franchise that holds INFINITE potential, and they cannot for the life of them create a product that is beyond a 6/10. There are obviously exceptions, like the animated shows and Andor. But they have pumped out more Star Wars in 12 years than George did in 30, and yet the bad manages to vastly outweigh the good. That is fucking crazy.
Andor was garbage with no stakes trying to rewrite the Rebellion. There was no reason for that show, the guy was dead by the end of his first appearance. We know he lives to Rogue One. The animated is even worse. Star Wars Rebels was the absolute worst garbage until the rest of the Disney Shows came out.
@@justinlast2lastharder749adding depth to something isn’t rewriting it and saying that there are no stakes to Andor is like saying there are no stakes to the prequels.
The only thing I can think of when I see the "power of many" chant is a bunch of young girls at a sleep over, surrounding one of their laying down friends and chanting _"Light as a feather, stiff as a board; Light as a feather, stiff as a board; Light as a feather, stiff as a booooaaaaard."_
Lets not forget the director of this show was harvery weinsteins assistant for years, who SOMEHOW had no idea what was going on, despite being seperated by only a door.
What makes the Jedi Master dying to a kitchen knife hurt even more, is that in recent memory, there have been 4 times on screen where someone has gotten stabbed in the abdomen/chest area with a lightsaber and has been perfectly fine afterwards.
People have survived being run through by swords while others have died to shrapnel smaller than a nail nicking an artery or internal organ. Biological organisms are big blobs of self repairing goo with a billion little weak points strewn out through body in the form of tiny hoses. So no, I'm not particularly bothered by that. Nor do light sabers actually act like a plasma/laser sword. The amount of heat they demonstrably transfer to something like a metal droid would cause the user and their surrounding to light on fire. It is, and always has been, a magic sword that does what is needed according to the plot.
None of them got stabbed in the heart, that's an instant kill in nearly every case, sabres also cauterise the wound, giving you a chance. Not that I've even watched the show or wish to defend it, just saying.
@scottneil1187 But I mean you also get a stick of - what, plasma? - through some important bodily organs. Doesn't it liquefy your insides basically? And I mean not dying to an abdomen wound vs surviving I guess Qui-Gon is just a pansy
@litrogue6328 Great timing, I had a question about your leftist cult. Do you genuinely think saying "people of color" is any different than saying "colored people" and if so, what is your poor excuse for an explanation?
family guy did a better job at explaining how Palpatine returned in Episode 9 than Disney ever could: _something something dark side, something something complete_
Is it just me or is Hollywood RELYING on the “Hey, let’s turn our brain off to enjoy this”. I think creativity is lacking and greed is high. It’s really that simple.
Finally someone has said it, I think Godzilla x Kong was terrible for this exact reason though I will probably get a lot of people disagreeing with me there since that movie was well recieved by the internet
not by my measure. disney's goal since square 1 with star wars was to get on the blackrock/vanguard teat, and they've done so successfully. losing a couple billion here n there is the cost of doing business when it comes to getting that sweet capital from blackrock.
@@martinjrgensen8234Incorrect, she thinks Star Wars was man-centric and that women didn't have a place in it. She thought the fan base hated women and that they didn't want women to be main characters. She hated Star Wars, as it stood, and she only likes that she can force herself into it when she didn't need to force herself into it at all. She could have just put herself into it, she didn't need to destroy it in the process.
With the understanding that most people aren’t into this stuff, Disney literally just copy and pasted WWE’s Kane vs Undertaker story into ChatGPT and said “make it about Star Wars ladies”… it is the same story with more rambling
It didn’t intrigue you as to why? Like these homies most assuredly are the ones who actually burned down and murdered her village. She thinks it was Mae, Mae thought the Jedi killed OSHA too, idk, I’m intrigued.
It sucks that Acolyte is so bad, it is such an interesting era in the Star Wars timeline that one would think it should be impossible to fuck it up because of all the unexplored stories and characters that exist.

@@bhyde88 No, he said you flat out just can't kill one with a weapon. Which was untrue. He immediately follows this up by saying you can kill one if you do it without a weapon. If your interpretation is correct then it still doesn't work because he follows it up with the plan of simply killing them, just without a weapon, and that will work. The writing is just contradictory and nonsensical, like how Mother tells Osha repeatedly she has a choice and also that she must follow destiny and also that the thread does not define her destiny and also that the thread links everyone to destiny but also that she has a choice but also that she must join the cult and continue it.
You know, people in the industry bring up "hollywood accounting" all the time. I could see a lot of this being an elaborate money laundering scene. Just rush out some shit, and throw it on disney+ and claim it cost 180 million and lost money.
Yeah noShit it’s Lesley Headland, Harvey Weinstein’s former assistant who sourced all his girls and helped cover it up. Where did you think all that money was going to go?
Compared to Godzilla Minus One costing $15 million...yeah, a lot of people are pocketing cash before the whole thing falls apart. Or they are laundering money.

I love how every time there are twins that have been separated since childhood and well into their adult years they somehow adopt the exact same ridiculous hairstyle. So strange to me.
It happens irl. Twins separated at birth will end up with similar hair and/or clothing styles. It's not that crazy. Not to mention how insanely common twists are as a black hairstyle and Mae's hair is much longer than Osha's
@@kittikat4124I guess I gotta tell all the minorities with short hair cuts and male to change it up in 10 years or it’s plot hole. Also all those animated series where the person keeps similar cloths and hair. Nope. Maybe this is a personal thing but I see this complaint a lot but it seems less plot hole more personal taste. It’s an easy question for audiences to see the hair rather than confuse them. People would complain if the hair changed too.
There are two ways to improve (maybe even save) Star Wars: -Slow down production and actually think about stuff -Give Tony Gilroy a hand in every single project
its depressing seeing how our entertainment is being degraded so thoroughly by corporate greed. nowadays art is just another product to be shoved in all of our faces.
Disney bought several IPs. They decided to alienate all fans that previously enjoyed the IPs. Then they decided to throw out all related materials associated with them and created new stories that don't fit in the previous lore. So my question is why buy the IPs to begin with if you weren't going to use any previous iterations and just create new chapters that don't fit into the universe.
@@BigFactss_ You need to be a good writer who understands the nuances in that kind of a story to make it work properly. This show and Disney in general has barely, if any at all.
What's gonna happen is in a flashback. The witches thought the jedi started the fire to capture the other girl, but the jedi also thought the witches were trying to kill the jedi and take back the other girl, so they killed the witches. But Instead it was psycho trying to kill their twin, which inadvertently killed everyone they had ever known. Or jedi evil or something
To be (slightly) fair to Mae's reaction: Anakin did the same thing. In Episode 3 on Mustafar when he was confronted by Padme and Obi-wan, Padme saying "you're going down a path I cannot follow" was enough to make Anakin force choke and nearly kill his wife, which directly led to her suffering the fate he had JUST betrayed the entirety of the Jedi Order to try and stop. Dark Side make you do CRAZY shit when you let it flow through you. But yeah, Disney straight up yeeted the entirety of the Legends canon just so they could try to repackage it as knock-offs and sell it back to us. It's not worth supporting them.
Mei: I love my home and I never want to leave. Kills everyone, tries to kill sister, burns down home. Mei in the future: Jedi are evil and shall die. Peak writing
They're gonna hit you with the big shocking unpredictable twist that Mae didn't start the fire, and it was the secretly evil, traditionalist homophobic Jedi the whole time. It was actually them who were evil and Mae is just misunderstood.
Dont forget the worst offender: darth plagueis, one of the most powerful sith lords to ever exist, tried to conceive life using the force multiple times to no avail. This was a big nono for the force, and it was so pissed that it literally conceived anakin as a counter measure. But some random space lesbians can do it no problem? Yeah, right LMFAO

@@LegendslayX Oh I know, I fully expect a flashback from Mei’s perspective and the probably one of what /really/ happened. But I’m commenting specifically on Mei not starting the fire. Though I just watched it back and we only actually see her light the book on fire. I thought we saw her throw it on the ground so there is more ambiguity than I remembered. I do think the fire spreading rapidly makes at least some sense with what we’re shown cause that lantern/sconce seems to be hooked up to pipes on/in the wall.
“The power within” went hard tho. That chant still lives rent free in my head all these years later. The chant in this show made me physically recoil from cringe. Idk how nobody told them it was horrible
I didn't know why I would give her the benefit of the doubt, but I'm pretty sure she was just riffing off the ridiculous question from the interviewer who said that this was the gayest star wars show. It's still really lame, but she wasn't stating that as some kind of new canon.
Am I upset about openly gay characters in a fantasy series? Not really, it’s dumb that every show has to have a gay character now, but whatevs. I’m grateful, though, that this review didn’t focus on that because that’s NOT what we all hate about it. It the dialogue, the apparent disregard for any source material, and the lack of understanding of what it mean to be a Jedi.
My favorite part is when we sit here scratching our heads going, "Is this really it? Is this what we have now?" We get told that if we don't enjoy it, then we're the reason it failed. In the words of a better character, "It's ironic..."

I mean, user ratings can be pretty dumb too. Transformers 2 and 3 have a score in the 6 out of 10 range on IMDB. Those movies are objectively horrendous, implying they’re even mediocre is an insult to cinema itself.
@DJ-wl5qo mediocrity just means its not good, but watchable, which is where id put those two movies.
Thats coming from someone who doesnt exactly care about the lore of transformers btw, which is likely why it has that rating.
I think that goes to show how bad this show actually is from a community standpoint though, if your show is below a 3, that just says that even a more general audience really dislikes it.
Hey guys, get this:
According to the bought and paid for news articles of Acolyte, everyone who hates it is just toxic, and the series is misunderstood!
I kid you not, they are legit blaming the fans for the commercial failure of the show.
Man, I never knew I could spontaneously become bigoted just from watching Acolyte!

“Fanfiction” is a little too generous, since the people that made this aren’t even fans. At least the 13yr olds writing fanfics try to put some passion in to their stories, even if it still turns out to be cringe
Sadly that might be better at this point
Wheel of time the Weave of power is the same.
man thats an insult to Harry Potter
Hey, as a former fanfic writer, that’s an insult to fanfiction. I assure you I’ve seen 13-year olds write infinitely more imaginative and compelling writing than this kind of slop.
It boggles my mind how Disney is working with a franchise that holds INFINITE potential, and they cannot for the life of them create a product that is beyond a 6/10. There are obviously exceptions, like the animated shows and Andor. But they have pumped out more Star Wars in 12 years than George did in 30, and yet the bad manages to vastly outweigh the good. That is fucking crazy.
Andor was garbage with no stakes trying to rewrite the Rebellion. There was no reason for that show, the guy was dead by the end of his first appearance. We know he lives to Rogue One. The animated is even worse. Star Wars Rebels was the absolute worst garbage until the rest of the Disney Shows came out.
That's the issue they're worried about quantity over quality
@@justinlast2lastharder749How does it feel to have such a bad take?
@@justinlast2lastharder749adding depth to something isn’t rewriting it and saying that there are no stakes to Andor is like saying there are no stakes to the prequels.
They also hired writers and directors that put ideology first. That's the first step to creating terrible art.
The only thing I can think of when I see the "power of many" chant is a bunch of young girls at a sleep over, surrounding one of their laying down friends and chanting
_"Light as a feather, stiff as a board; Light as a feather, stiff as a board; Light as a feather, stiff as a booooaaaaard."_
Lets not forget the director of this show was harvery weinsteins assistant for years, who SOMEHOW had no idea what was going on, despite being seperated by only a door.
What makes the Jedi Master dying to a kitchen knife hurt even more, is that in recent memory, there have been 4 times on screen where someone has gotten stabbed in the abdomen/chest area with a lightsaber and has been perfectly fine afterwards.
People have survived being run through by swords while others have died to shrapnel smaller than a nail nicking an artery or internal organ. Biological organisms are big blobs of self repairing goo with a billion little weak points strewn out through body in the form of tiny hoses.
So no, I'm not particularly bothered by that.
Nor do light sabers actually act like a plasma/laser sword. The amount of heat they demonstrably transfer to something like a metal droid would cause the user and their surrounding to light on fire.
It is, and always has been, a magic sword that does what is needed according to the plot.
Oh my god I was so busy trying to forget that garbage it completely slipped my mind. They could've at least made it a poison knife
None of them got stabbed in the heart, that's an instant kill in nearly every case, sabres also cauterise the wound, giving you a chance. Not that I've even watched the show or wish to defend it, just saying.

To be (slightly) fair to Mae's reaction: Anakin did the same thing. In Episode 3 on Mustafar when he was confronted by Padme and Obi-wan, Padme saying "you're going down a path I cannot follow" was enough to make Anakin force choke and nearly kill his wife, which directly led to her suffering the fate he had JUST betrayed the entirety of the Jedi Order to try and stop. Dark Side make you do CRAZY shit when you let it flow through you.

"The power within" from spongebob is literally that chant
i was thinking more of "the power of god and anime" or "i have the power!" or "you got the touch you got the power" but i can add that to now.
“The power within” went hard tho. That chant still lives rent free in my head all these years later.
The chant in this show made me physically recoil from cringe. Idk how nobody told them it was horrible
"All Hail the Magic Conch!" could have been used as well
“R2D2 is a lesbian” -Acolyte producer
Huh it's crazy how nobody noticed that before, 9 movies and 2 animated shows

I didn't know why I would give her the benefit of the doubt, but I'm pretty sure she was just riffing off the ridiculous question from the interviewer who said that this was the gayest star wars show.
It's still really lame, but she wasn't stating that as some kind of new canon.
They were forced to comprise, R2D2 is a terf now
Am I upset about openly gay characters in a fantasy series? Not really, it’s dumb that every show has to have a gay character now, but whatevs. I’m grateful, though, that this review didn’t focus on that because that’s NOT what we all hate about it. It the dialogue, the apparent disregard for any source material, and the lack of understanding of what it mean to be a Jedi.
Right. We're rare irl so I don't understand why they keep pushing it.
My dad has seen every Star Wars movie in theaters on release. He hasn't watched any show other than the Mandalorian.
My favorite part is when we sit here scratching our heads going, "Is this really it? Is this what we have now?" We get told that if we don't enjoy it, then we're the reason it failed. In the words of a better character, "It's ironic..."
You don't need to watch it if you don't like it....
@@kerolokerokerolo Why are you going around trying to defend this show? If people dont like something and want it to get better because they have passion for a series they are most likely going complain in the hope that they are listened to and things improve in the future.
@@Badookum I'm not trying to defend the show,, I'm just tired of people criticizing new star wars content by default, without really having actually an opinion based on experience. I get how everyone hates disney star wars, but come on, they've produced a copule of great shows...
@@kerolokerokerolo Because modern Star Wars is objectively worse than what it was before Disney and people want things to get better.
What do you not understand.
@@Badookum objective is not the right word. it is subjectively better. what you don't get is that toxicity won't make thinks better, star wars won't get better because of your hate or toxicity
Charlie: “ignore the claw machine”
**Me staring at it for the rest of the video**
This. This is da whey
You want those anime cups
@@ChristopherPortorreal-ol2mj there was anime cups?
It’s not as horrible, it’s WORSE!
the Acolyte is horrible and un-watchable
That claw machine being remotely controlled was more entertaining than the 3 episodes combined
