      It was about the 4th time Platoon said the full Occupational Safety and Health Administration title and I thought, that is going to tire Platoon out using his mouth that much.....and I remembered to whom I was referring then thought, he's just warmed up.

      If you think that's bad, ask yourself this: if Cortosis is indeed so rare and valuable, how did a no-name nobody learn about it AND conveniently stumble upon a cave with entire veins of it AND have the knowledge and means to forge it into a helmet and piece of armor? And if he managed to do all this, why not make more armor pieces? But I'm sure these are all unimportant, minor details.

    I find it funny how every time Disney wants to add inclusion for diversity, they always end up making that person a super stereotype of whatever ethnicity they are. Asian people in star wars will obviously wear asian inspired clothing and fight eachother with hand to hand marshal arts style combat. Reva was a innercity black kid getting bullied by a pasty white alien dude (funny considering the empire is supposed to be extremely racist to alien species). I just don't get how any "fan" can defend disney as a diverse inclusive space when most of their depictions of other ethnic groups is based solely on stereotypical traits and customs.

    This is the one small piece of grace I give Amandla's 'performances'. When you ask the director/showrunner "What are my characters' morals, beliefs, motivations, outlooks and personalities?"

      The problem is that the guy who played Sol actually doesn't know what the words he's saying even mean. He's literally reading off a teleprompter, but he's very capable of portraying stuff like "Your character saw their friends die. Be sad."
      Amandla seems to struggle with basic line reading, so portraying "I'm sad," seems like a serious struggle for her.

I am convinced these showrunners only care about validation for their first drafts because anyone with a critical eye would note the problems here and would advise redrafting of scripts. I am finally going through Andor(thank you and Mauler for recommending it) and it is night and day how the dialogue and character work is in Andor than it is in the Acolyte. It helped that Gilroy redrafted his scripts. So really, there is zero excuse for this other than these Leslie and Kennedy are high on their agenda and don't care about quality.

    And the truth is that this is not anything close to the most important she's ever worked on because she clearly doesn't care. I've seen her interviews where she has no thoughts about this story, no ideas about the world, she can't answer basic questions about how the world works. She has zero interest in the work needed to make this story coherent which is how you end up with a second episode that does nothing except stall for time so you can have the big reveal next episode. The problem is, I can't imagine this series not deciding to end season 8 with a kind of big reveal, so episode 7 is probably going to be yet even more pointless stalling.

      This is the modern way, with different writers and often directors on each episode. It can work if you have someone talented and intelligent at the top keeping it co-ordinated. Here though... And remember that one of the writers' main demands in their strike was to insist that at least 6 writers contribute to every project.

    This show is a marvelous thing. Indeed, I can't help but marvel at the immense effort put into digging progressively deeper holes into what I previously thought was the intellectual floor of Star Wars. It is fairly giggle worthy, in fact, to see someone playing out a compressed air line, down their little pit, as they have developed blisters from the pickaxe. As the jackhammer begins, all I hear echoing up is an ambiguously AI voice over repeating "wraps her hands gently around the hilt" and "predatory gaze".
    I must admit, I was under the impression this was a murder mystery, not a bodice ripper.

    Watching these reviews of The Acolyte, I had the strange feeling that I'd seen the (theoretical) characters Osha and Mae before and it suddenly hit me: this is the modern-day adaption of Peter Seller's The Pink Panther movies.
    Osha is Inspector Clouseau, bumbling around cluelessly while the plot keeps happening around her without her having any influence on things.
    Mae is Kato, the attack lunatic who's only reason for being in the show is to constantly attack, only for the sake of being the comic sidekick.
    All other characters are simply there to move the plot along around these two fools.

    For me, it was the moment when the extremely physically threatening main antagonist was spontaneously abducted by a swarm of Deus Ex Mothinas (somehow being taken by surprise despite having highly attuned senses) flailed his powered-on lightsaber around frantically for several seconds on screen in a panicked, desperate manner, all while failing to inflict an ounce of harm upon even one of the piñata-sized bugs... That's when i realized "oh, these writers *don't give a fuuuckkk"* and they are shamelessly writing for the lowest common denominator of their audience.

    As a woman from Poland living in a society characterized by a "Slavic smile", I don`t understand one thing: Do "the creators" of this series distinguish between showing emotions on our faces and those that determine our choices/actions? Jedi can show emotions on their faces while remaining stoic because they aren`t machines but human beings. Each side is characterized by its own emotions and the actions that are associated with them. The "main character" looks like an inflated doll moved from place to place. This isn't acting, it's amateurism. Do "the creators" understand how humans function if they want to show how easy it is to go to the evil side? Sometimes I have the impression that aliens are hired for scripts these days...

      It could really work. You have to have really good actors to pull it off though, so popular way of creating period dramas is to change everything into contemporary, and it makes it boring. Gib me my alien but very human cultures!

    I don't think we are giving the writers of this show enough credit. It is truly impressive how much of star wars, and characters they are able to break with one show. Every episode has been able to one up the previous one in destroying the lore, or characters, or the force than the previous one. This episode with a casual throw away line undermines the entire political structure at up in the prequels and numerous legends and high Republic books. It gives lip service to all the contradicting ideas on how force sensitive people exist in the start wars universe. And it manages again to contradict the laws of time it set up in the previous episode.
    The level of destruction done by this writing team is absolutely impressive. Lesser writers can only dream.

      To offer up an explanation that is almost assuredly well above the talents of these writers' heads, I have assumed from the beginning that the... ermm... unique creation of the twins has caused them to manifest the same force presence. Their little secret poem is suggestive of this explanation. But the writers have not only failed to properly establish this, despite ample opportunity on many separate occasions, the explanation _still_ wouldn't solve the many other reasons this shouldn't work.

      @@Zara-Bari fair point well made but importantly if they are your aforementioned exception that's fine and I'm not saying it has to be explicitly spelled out in exposition but it would be helpful if it were at least implictly registered somewhere so that the audience could reason themselves into it so that it wasn't a void. It's similar to how Darth Hot Topic is apparently a Sith even though that's not possible by Rule of Two logic since we know that the reigning Sith Lord at the time of the Acolyte should either be Plagius or his master Darth Tenebrous and we know how Sith Lords react to rivals because of what happened to Maul and his brother in Clone Wars once they leveled up enough for Sideous to take notice bof them. So in theory either Darth Emo should be butchered by Tenebrous any day now or he's not actually a Sith in which case the writers have been lying this WHOLE TIME!

      @@daltonmortimer7735 I absolutely agree that a lot of empty nothing burger time wasting could be filled by giving the audience, I don't know, clues of some kind as to why or how is any of this. But, you see, that would take a bare minimum five minutes effort to think of, and that's clearly more than went into this. Also if they tried to actually forge characters and mechanics, they'd quickly find themselves written into a corner they could not escape from (or at least unable to force events to take place the way they wanted them to because it would go against the mechanics they put in place), because they are that caliber of writers. We've already seen them become hopelessly entangled in what few mechanics and minor plot points they have given us.
      In fact, I remain convinced that the reality of this (rather than my headcanon explanation) is that this was actually a steamy captor/captive dark romance fan fic that has had all of its steam elements removed in the adaptation, leaving nothing but vacancy in the space the steam previously occupied. Stories of that type are really just an excuse to get from one steam room to the next, with little consideration given to plot, character or any meaningful mechanics.
      I myself have written a lot of fan fiction, but have never found it in my heart to respect this particular variety, so it is rather personally loathsome to find that it is the only kind of fan fiction that ever gets put on screen (think 50 Shades and After, for example)
