Wasn't even conventional therapy where one works on one's self, instead she set out to change everyone else's sensibilities to normalize her Weinstein past.
They say this dumb crap yet they had an excellent chance to make Finn awesome yet they just made him yell "REY!" , sidelined him and shrunk him on posters. Where was diversity then?
Shows how lazy and uninformed Woke really is. Their certified Black people expert apparently told them that the ‘do was ethnically correct, just the thing that kinda Black space avenger/mechanic twins would wear - from childhood. And Leslie Headspace pulled out her clipboard and checked that box!
She wrote from the "heart", and wanted the story to reflect her life in many ways. Now people are rejecting the show, and also think the show lacks morality. She is taking this very personally cause she doesn't want to accept that she, like her show, is probably morally corrupt. Besides that though, the show was just not good. It was a very poorly written and thought out story that should have never been green lit. Like seriously, I can't believe a script this poorly written was given so much money. The script at the very least needed to go through some rewrites (a lot of rewrites) to make it at least make sense. There were so many mistakes in this story that you'd expect from a 12 year old writing a movie script. For example, Osha is one of the most passive protagonists I have ever seen in a movie. And some could argue she is supposed to be a bit passive so that later she can become nore assertive, but no. Sorry. No. You still need to make her have a personality! Have her do something, anything to show she is a person. Everyone in the show is kind of obsessed with her and it's like WHY??? Just a horribly written character. Oh and the actress Amanda, she always sounds like she's sucking on a jolly rancher when she talks and it started annoying the crap out of me.
Just like Kennedy, she probably knows too much about certain people so her reward for being quiet was that show. Seriously, any other executive with the same track record as Kennedy would have been long gone.
To them, they do understand the lore, and they are adding their own important and higher minded additions to that lore - they think they are fixing it. That is how utterly delusional they are. So, it should surprise none of us when they do anything that appears to be extremely delusional - yes, they are that delusional. Imagine being that disconnected from reality. Must be absolutely awful.
During the me too movement a guy came out and said when he was 16 he was in a relationship with one of the heads of the movement. The reaction was a “whao! Hey! Let’s not be hasty!!”
Yours is the most on-the-money analysis of this train wreck that I’ve heard, and I’ve listen to a bunch of them. Your skilled exploration of the racial dimension of this catastrophe tells me that you are perhaps the only critic who actually has a Black friend. I’m an old Black guy, and I stood in those mega lines to watch Empire and Return of the Jedi (A New Hope -then just called Star Wars, I caught later). It was an amazing experience. Few people remember now, but the 1980’s were a time of real hope, and Star Wars played a part in that. The lines were as amazing as the movies! Kennedy and Headland’s desecration of this great myth is a real tragedy. Darth Kennedy has proven that a dream can indeed be slain. Villain. Please continue with your autopsy, good doctor, it is a necessary if painful duty.
You know.... I can't condemn the basic idea of a Force Vergance as a plot device. Thing is.... it's not used in a godo way as a plot device in Acolyte. Fun fact: the vergance idea was from the OG trilogy, and the prequels aren't the first to use it. But... a vergance creating a person... was very unusual
Script Trooper this is what’s wrong with Disney SW under Caffeine Kennedy she would have green lighted 3 seasons and a movie 🤦🏻 thank god the fans didn’t watch this train wreck of a show! DSW lucus films needs to clean house of everyone. We need a 3rd party producing Star Wars that loves the lure and appreciate it.
It's so funny but not at all surprising seeing this after LH said she "hadn't planned beyond the first season" in interviews, seems like she was full of it.
So what if we didn't like it because Gays were in it? That's my choice as a Paying Customer to Pick & Choose where I spend my Money! Hollywood seems to have forgotten that lesson and it's cost them BILLIONS!
Manny honestly could've played his role as a really cool Sith Exile/Renegade even by pure visuals. A Trakata trained, dual-saber fighting, helmeted vagabond jedi who has the physical body of Let Me Solo Her? Sounds like a sick ass NPC/Boss that would have a whole questline around him in a fancy ass RPG ala KOTOR. Obviously that's ignoring his somewhat silly motivation of "just wanting to be free" when to be a Sith you MUST be power hungry and obsessed with controlling others... But dammit it's like a wasted character design art (like that one Inquisitor in Tales of the Jedi who had such a sick ass helmet but got bodied by Ashoka.) Sol was at LEAST likeable. Granted, I'm a huge sucker for characters who are extremely paternal/maternal by heart. I love the trope of "warrior guy/girl adopts some weaker, more shy person that they find in a desperate situation." I loved Ripley's motherly relationship with Newt in Aliens, and seeing Sol JUST wanting the closest thing he had to daughters to be saved but feeling regret (even if it wasn't his fault), it was compelling. Guy was a good actor. But he was wasted by such terrible writing. The Acolyte if it were truly trying to be a thoughtful dismantling and meaningful commentary on the flaws of the Force itself... it COULD'VE taken notes from Knights of the Old Republic II! That game is easily one of the best written games ever, with a cast of misfits and familiar faces who have such chemistry. The show could've MAYBE been a story in the Old OLD Republic era or EVEN like pre-Great Sith War... This franchise is like a friend, ruining their life through awful choices. You TRY so hard to convince them, help them, guide them but they keep surrounding themselves with toxically positive friends and they turn your own friend against you as they make you leave their life and you can only watch in grief as they destroy themselves and will inevitably be abandoned by those new "friends" all alone...
Yeah, Disney pulled rank and shut it down, but since Kennedy appears to be Teflon, it doesn’t seem like they would actually do anything to her if she did green light more using just Lucasarts coffers.
Hi, fantastic vid mate, i think we should always talk about who her boss was! Its a shame other wimin don't come out and criticize her and dizny for employing her! and another thing is, i wanna know HOW EXACTLY Star Wars saved Leslie's life, i want a detailed description of it otherwise it was total bollox! (I think it was anyway) great vid mate keep up the good work mate! take care and have a great day! PS, yes, WE JUST WANT GOOD SHOWS! Lol take care!
I'm just grateful Lego Headlady can't destroy any more lore. Not that Disney won't carry on making bad Star Wars content, but The Acolyte was next level trash.
I think it's even disrespectful to people who are gay like they think if we just put a gay or diverse person in the show then all gay or black people will run to watch this. like they think their standards are so low they only care to see themselves which is not true. All people wanna see interest stories not themselves
I wonder if we will ever see a tell all book describing what went down behind the scenes at Lucasfilm for the Acolyte. I thought I read that parts of the Acolyte were reshot a couple of times and even then the final product was problematic.
He says no receipts of racism while using the term dei which is a new word for racist...nothing blatantly that he saw. Even if it were blatant I'm sure you'd ignored it. Films and movies always had messages in them and tell people how to think they just did it to open. George Lucas literally tells you empires bads, nazi's bad, racism bad through Episodes 4-6. We haven't been race swapping, Blame your people for that. April O'Neil was originally Black just like Rocksteady but we'll let you have that. A few stupid idiots didn't Prompt Ewan McGregor to come out and make a video about being racist toward Moses Ingram. Tell Black people to suck it up have tough skin, hmmm. Talking in a condescending tone. People do care about skin color acting like people don't shows how privileged you are to not have people care about your skin. It's one thing to say why you don't like a show but none of you can say why, the show doesn't break lore the whole vergence in the force isn't a new concept and can happen more than once. But whatever you're not going to point out where the show lacks you're just going to say it sucks because of others. Might glace at it but not really watch it.
Writers planning for multiple seasons isn't a new thing, though. J. Michael Straczynski wrote "Babylon 5" with the intention of it running 5 years, and he was lucky to get 4 years.....and then a 5th year after year 4 wrapped up the story, but that's another topic. True, though: She (and Disney) should have waited to see audience reaction before making any more plans.
Headland was blackmailing key industry figures and was directly paid off in plain sight to the tune of $100 million of that show's budget. This three season deal is just more of the smokescreen that people were serious about this show. I'm open to any other explanation of how and why this entire project happened.
Sheesh another video about this topic? Talk about beating a dead horse. Content well must be super dry to be talking about this for the millionth time.
I guess a 250 million therapy session wasn't enough she wanted more therapy under the Star Wars name
Wasn't even conventional therapy where one works on one's self, instead she set out to change everyone else's sensibilities to normalize her Weinstein past.
I still can't get that ridiculous chanting of those witches.. The Power of One, the power of 2, the power of MANYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY ROFL
Sounds like a ripoff of the sisters on Charmed.
You cant expect anything else from that toxic predator
They say this dumb crap yet they had an excellent chance to make Finn awesome yet they just made him yell "REY!" , sidelined him and shrunk him on posters. Where was diversity then?
Yup, they ERASE actual PoC characters... and replace them with non-PoC.... it's insultingly obvious pandering... and terrible writing.
The fact the main character of the Acolyte had a mop on her head didn’t bother anyone? I laughed every time I saw it.
That for me was the very least of its problems.
It’s a bit Rick James though!
Shows how lazy and uninformed Woke really is. Their certified Black people expert apparently told them that the ‘do was ethnically correct, just the thing that kinda Black space avenger/mechanic twins would wear - from childhood. And Leslie Headspace pulled out her clipboard and checked that box!
@@OOL-UV2 Disparu had fun mocking the haircut for reminding him of a certain dog breed with ropy hair.

She's the glowing example of The Dunning Kruger effect and Disney gave hundreds of millions!😂🤦♂️
I seriously don’t understand what has she done that she got chosen for this? What dirt does she have on Weinstein and his cronies?
Just like Kennedy, she probably knows too much about certain people so her reward for being quiet was that show. Seriously, any other executive with the same track record as Kennedy would have been long gone.

Soooooo true. They’re sooooo convinced of themselves.
Their conviction to their version of reality is astonishing and hilarious 🤣
The Acolyte should never have been made. Thank goodness I never watched it. Not a single episode.
You didn't miss anything... unless you wanna watch hours of TH-camrs tearing this to shreds, which I pirated this show to do
Only people who watched it were content creators wanting to dunk on it
You're lucky
This went deeper into the Star Wars lore, the same way that Harvey used to go deeper into the "lore".
During the me too movement a guy came out and said when he was 16 he was in a relationship with one of the heads of the movement. The reaction was a “whao! Hey! Let’s not be hasty!!”
Bitter Leslyians aren't known for thinking rationally. They're just not (mis)wired that way.

Comics. Novels. Pitch the ideas there. Perfectly viable medium. Plenty of short lived TV/movie projects have been explored that way.
Disney should spend their entire budget on the Acolyte that will surely be the success of all of Disney's problems 😆😂😆😂
Whites are one of the worlds minorities. Give us Male white leads. Support minorities Disney!
I'm almost passed out laughing when you were talking about how dumb a lot of these folks are, and then you showed a photo of Ruffalo.
Like the "No Alcohol Challenge" ad; that's what we call targeted advertising in the trade! :p
True!
You know.... I can't condemn the basic idea of a Force Vergance as a plot device. Thing is.... it's not used in a godo way as a plot device in Acolyte.

“Caffeine Kennedy” I’m dying
It's so funny but not at all surprising seeing this after LH said she "hadn't planned beyond the first season" in interviews, seems like she was full of it.
It’s mediocrity. There is no exceptionalism or true passion for the story and world building. It’s DEI scripture.

Three seasons and a movie?! LMAO
I'm actually surprised that KK didn't just continue to fund it all anyway, what's it matter? LUCASFILM will make other garbage just as bad.
Yeah, Disney pulled rank and shut it down, but since Kennedy appears to be Teflon, it doesn’t seem like they would actually do anything to her if she did green light more using just Lucasarts coffers.

Delusional….The Acolyte was a lousy show. The storyline was just goofy.
I’m glad I didn’t watch it then.

But I wanted 3 seasons and a movie
Funny. They what characters that are minorities but, they couldn't find an actor to play Black Panther or what happened to that Blade movie?
Writers planning for multiple seasons isn't a new thing, though.
J. Michael Straczynski wrote "Babylon 5" with the intention of it running 5 years, and he was lucky to get 4 years.....and then a 5th year after year 4 wrapped up the story, but that's another topic.
True, though: She (and Disney) should have waited to see audience reaction before making any more plans.

They ruined Finn and with him their credit with some folks in the black community.

Nope. I have a list. Just wanted to comment on it.
