Lol, let’s not gloss over the fact that the entire fight was shot, for a series that cost 180 million. On clearly a stage that looked liked environments on the old Star Trek shows and the fight space was so small. Any more Jedi and they would’ve ran into each other,🤣.
@@forcedtosignup2 In all fairness, the movies had such moments in its light saber duels as well. Although, one can argue that the movement is to build up physical momentum on slashes and blocks, trying to push an opponent back with particularly forceful blows or counters, like when Luke fought with Vader and his energetic attack took his father's hand off in the Throne Room fight in the third movie of the OT. We therefore know that more physical pressure applied by a duelist in pushing down with his light saber against another duelist's light saber blade can push them down or back, because we have visual proof of these types of fights on screen in the OT and PT.
As a professional writer I know that good character development is not just about their place with the world around them. It is also about getting the reader/viewer/listener invested in them. Those potential fans will not feel for a thinly/poorly crafted character. Anakin had a great developmental arch, as did Luke, but Rey had no arch at all. Basically a junk picker instantly know everything about a starship the minute that steps inside, then after finding a lightsaber trains herself to be a Jedi... Ridiculous.
In the original Star Wars I believed that Jedi were rare. For three movies, outside of the council meetings, the main characters didn’t see any Jedi. So, the death of a Jedi would be a big impact to the Jedi Order, as they are rare and difficult to replace. In this show the Jedi are incompetent, easily killed and their death is basically so trivial they leave their bodies to rot where they fell without a tear.
In the PT I saw them akin to US Marshals, maybe a couple hundred of them in total but scattered across the galaxy solving serious crimes and fighting terrorists. When they show up you know some bad shit happened or is about to happen. This show treats them like the NYPD, defunded and couldn’t care less about solving real crime / cleaning up the city.

Star Wars has always been light v dark side but when Disney changed it to Grey it just tells your fan audience to accept the diluted version of their Star Wars which becomes fake. Episode 6 illustrates this more than ever I’m afraid
Nobody cared that those Jedi died even Sol who just walks back to his ship at the end of the episode, leaving his dead compatriots, and even his current padawan, to be eaten by animals and rot in the woods lol
The issue isn’t how many red shirts died, it’s how a main character, a Jedi no less, reacts to those losses. Sol just leaving them there, especially his padawan, is out of character and just another example of bad writing. None of the characters in this show behave like real people.

The Jedi have a room in the temple specifically for cremating Jedi. Also, Obi-Wan and Anakin take the time to cremate master Even Piell even though they were being pursued by Separatist droids.
10:45 I think I might have it: the issue is that they’re writing *for* hack film students. Thats their target audience. Chekov’s gun is too cliche, so future plot points cannot be alluded to before hand.
The other thing though too is that he would actually smell the scent of burnt hair when talking to her I mean how stupid is this Jedi Master. Hair has a distinct smell when it's burnt and it's not a smell that goes away right away.
they said 4 million watched this show in the premier night, and it retained less than 60% of viewers.... I mean, the only ones watching this crap now are the people who have YT review channels
This power creep of force powers somehow doesn't capture any of the pre-Disney coolness and mystique. This is like an AI generated collage of terrible fan-fiction.
BINGO-BINGO-BINGO! I have waited for someone to say this very thing! AI bots are writing the story and they probably used Gemini since it was designed to be racist against white people. Notice how ALL the whites are dying, or committing self-deletion from their inherent "white guilt."
Everyones a jedi in star wars now. Average Jo Shmo, he's a star wars! Watch him go with the lightsaber WOOO. Disney has no creativity or talent and have no business in Entertainment anymore.
Interesting question. Easy answer: stop trying to make sense of it, because the writer didn't write it to have any, if what we see on screen is any indication to go by.
They thought it was a Jedi "Red Wedding" but it was only the "Red-Shirt Jedi Wipping". Nobody cared about them, some even cheered for Yord and Jackee's demises! 🤣🤣🤣
The cortosis problem has an added level of problem with it. It doesn't exist in Disney Star Wars. Remember, that's legends and that was banished from Disney canon. They have not worked at all to reintroduce it in the setting.
@@jikkithesneaky Ah, I see. Published in 2018. I had already checked out of Disney Star Wars by then. As such I don't consider the rewrite as part of proper canon in the first place. After all, Disney is rewriting literally everything including making the Jedi into an evil organization. So credibility in content is slim to none.
GoT: The Red Wedding was in se3ep7. Years of character development in one of the world's most popular shows. People cared. Disney: we have no ideas, so gonna copy the best bits of shows the humans like, screw the development time. Viewers (the few left): signed up for Bluey, Star Wars is just white noise to fall asleep to.
What is up with these Jedi outfits, are they going to a pyjama party..? And why all the lightsaber colours? Yellow Lightsabers are only used by Jedi Temple guards? Clueless
The wardrobe eXpErT is a DEI hire, surprise, surprise. She's appeared in some promotional videos for the series. Clearly she just copied the naff costumes off the High Republic book. sO cReAtIvE!
Yellow lightsabers were used as early as 1978 with the Luke Skywalker Kenner action figure and it continued with the Empire Strikes Back Bespin Fatigues Luke figure.
I felt sorry for the Jedi who died in Revenge of the Sith, and I hardly knew them as characters until I started to read more about them. These "Jedi"...I don't care to know about them, and their deaths means a whole bunch of nothing to me.
I would think if Darth Squishy had this obscure metal that can short out light sabers, he'd have it on his gauntlets or breastplate, not on his helmet. That would put him in a compromised position, ie--sticking his neck out--when he uses it.
Were we supposed to care about these characters? I took this episode to be a crazy 88 from kill bill scene rather than a red wedding. The intent being shock factor and to introduce the powerful Sith, as that's what Headland wanted to focus on with the series; a study of the Sith.
Disney Star Wars is all over the timeline because they can't go forward. They should be on Episode 13 or 14 by now, but they have not talent. They have nothing, their drowning and pulling from everything from anywhere to stay alive.
It's not just nobody cared, it's that losing those Jedi didn't have any major impact on the structure of the world. There's still a Jedi council, still a lot of padawans, etc. The Red Wedding turned the power structure of the world upside down. This was mostly meaningless.
Caring for characters in a story starts with the writer/writers. How they tell a characters story demonstrates how they feel about them, and they audience will likely feel and see them the same way. Headlamp and her team don't care about these characters, they're little more than props for her to send her message. She feels nothing for this series or these characters and in turn the audience feels nothing for them either.
So I get that not all Jedi masters are combat oriented (I don't think anyone at disney understands what a jedi master is but whatever). To use a martial arts analogy, a padawan is like a white belt in BJJ, Jedi masters are black belts. I've rolled with black belts and they know exactly what you're going to do and the counter and you have no right moves. But they just decided Jecki should use girl power or something.
Yeah what made the Red Wedding so impactful in the books and show is that you genuinely cared for these characters and it happened so far into the story. With this its just like "good, i hope he kills everyone."
brown wedding, also by the time the show takes place cortosis would be almost non-existant. most people know about cortosis thanks to Kotor because in the old republic era they needed to fuse vibro weapons with cortosis agaisnt lightsaber users or "cortosis weave"d alloy, it wouldnt disrupt the lightsaber but it would allow the blade to clash without melting. theres like only 1 instance of pure cortosis being used to disrupt lightsabers in a comic. the whole pure cortosis thing is a super fringe EU idea that nobody cares about and obviously it doesnt block the force. it was first adopted by the echani i beleive to fend off the jedi, its super rare and brittle and again was only prevalantly used in the old republic era to be able to stand against lightsaber weilders. with the sith in hiding there would be no need to manufacture cortosis over beskar
of course he had magic cortosis armor. because the script forgot that he could've just used force choke or force lightning on these "jedi" twerps instead, killing them instantly. I mean, if you can basically fly using the force, I'm sure he could've done that as well...
Just just a little something I should share with you guys but before Padawan Jackie actually knocked off the helmet and shattered it it was already broken because when Master soul ended up punching dude in the face with his helmet on no doubt it was already broken in a sense so you know a lot of you guys should already know that cortosis is a very it's a very weak material that is the main reason why they use durasteel mixed with cortosis for the Star destroyers
My theory: I bet Lesley brings Revan into star wars as a women (because star wars is disney princesses in space now, and god forbid they give a man a front and center role for a future project). Her little hint at wanting to make a series based on the old Republic could be a hint to who comes and defeates Qimir or possibly, be his master.. which then is linked to the Revan Legion, in The Last Jedi.
I can’t wait for the scene in the Coruscant hotel room where Mei explains to O.S.H.A. why she’s been blacking out so often and has all those receipts of hotel stays in other cities because Mei has been setting up franchises all over the galaxy but the only way O.S.H.A. can make sure is she visits that one bartender who now is wearing a halo brace because he didn’t pass his…or their fight club match with flying colors.
I'm pretty sure you could easily tell a "fight club"-esque story based on the Coruscant criminal underground, or even as own of the Hutts' moneymaking scenes, located somewhere in the Outer Rim. Would STILL be more authentic (and unique) than anything else they are trying now.
Q: How do people survive lightsaber blows? How do they cut their hair with lightsabers, and not ignite the hair or suffer serious injury? A: Fireproofing.
09:45. I have to agree with Valliant on that point. For a studio who was so eager to dump the EU/Legends and the successful blueprint it provided for key characters for the next 10-20 years, they seem to "borrow" quite a lot from the EU (I wonder how the original authors of those ideas feel about not getting any royalties/residuals), but at the same time refuses to actually do the EU stories (probably because they can't anymore, because they screwed up Luke's family tree with their "ST", and instead want to do their VASTLY worse "own universe" (with showrunners, directors and writers who are actively embarrassing the studio with what they come up with). Kinda makes you think, doesn't it?
But to add to the "read a random coloring book, novel or something" remark, Valliant, you have to remember that there is an ENTIRE NEW timeline of JUST Disney Star Wars canon (via their recent novels, games, comics, etc. ever since the company bought the franchise). So, one has to ask: if they can't even write something that is in line with the original canon, is ANY of their CURRENT canon even in line with what they put on screen in their streaming shows (if the showrunners and writers are simply "making it up as they go"?). I'm going to lean into a hard NO with that one, because I don't think there is someone who is even checking lore consistency on their NEW canon (I also can't find any mention of such a person anywhere).
The point of the Rubber movie was to be absurd (the telekinetic serial killer tire kinda gives it away). I'm pretty sure this show isn't TRYING to be absurd. Big difference. :P
Cortosis was in a canon book about thrawn and Anakin. There was an attempt to make droids out of it. But it was to hard to get and too fragile outside of energy based attacks. That's why it broke so easy when jecki hit it. It's been canon..
Which means it shouldn’t be used as armor. Also, when was there a canon book with both Anakin and Thrawn? I must have missed that one. The only one I know about is classified as Legends.
@@John-fk2ky thrawn: alliances. It's a canon novel with a story of Vader and thrawn and Anakin and thrawn. They find a droid factory trying to make droids out of it. It's "durable" but it's hard to get and process. Likely why qimirs helmet is cracked and and he only has one vambrace, it's strictly meant for fighting saber and blaster weilders.
I was watching greg owen. He was watching the show, and his wife came in. She said the show is made for ten year olds. He then subjugated his ten year old boy to the show. He loved it. It's made for ten year olds and stupid wine ladies.
Mae is going to be able to hide her forehead from Sol, but he will notice the arm tattoo is missing, and she won't know he's onto her. Prediction logged. When qimir said 'so you can read my mind?', I took it as teasing/taunting, saying the same thing he said in the apothecary shop....giving Sol a chance to feel even dumber after the reveal.
Another amazing episode, haha. They are just complete hacks at this point. This show is so painfully pathetic that you almost wanna feel bad for them but can't because they have ruined something made by my childhood and something g I have a deep love for. Then they try to copy another show. Can no one at Disney come up with their own ideas?
I'm 18 and this show is horrible and it's disgusting to call this Star Wars forget Shows like Asoka, Book of Boba Fett, Tales of the Empire and Mandolin Season 3 the Acolyte alone Ordered 66 Star Wars those other Shows tried but they weren't bad enough to kill Star Wars don't get me wrong there still bad but the Acolyte is so bad it somehow makes the other Star Wars Shows look good and I hate saying that but seriously guys that Rey Movie if it even happens at this point might be the last thing Disney ever makes because at this point I think the Fans are ready to ether force Disney to give up Star Wars or Stop Caring about the Franchise.
If I remember my limited knowledge of Star Wars lore accurately, the material was pretty rare, and you could potentially outfit a small group with it, but not an entire army. Also, because it was rare, it would be VERY expensive to buy, if one didn't have a natural source of it at one's disposal.

Kuntleen said the EU was not canon. When they realized the hundreds of stories, items, practices, and material in EU were there when they couldn't come up with ANYTHING original on their own, what did they do? They took almost EVERY element of their garbage shows FROM THE EU!!! And then they ruined those, too! Great work, Kuntleen, Baloni, and Lezzye! 🤮
yoda in the clone war debunk the whole twins thing with him and surviving clones and how he could tell them apart each other through the force, clone war season 1 ep 1 ambush
Except when you watch fights in the movies, none of the Jedi fighting him has their lightsabers "short out". That "partial Cortosis" might have been added to get a writer out of a tight narrative spot, but it also slightly contradicts with what we see on screen in the movies.
I've been played a video game which presented a villain so well written that no matter if you hate him or love him, you realize that if you has been in his place, you may have done the same things because you understand his motives. Which is horrific considering he is a mass murdered It's insane that a videogame which needs just the tiniest of stories to justify quests, can deliver something so outstanding, when a industry devoted to the single goal of telling stories, can't make something logic or enjoyable By the way, the writer of such story is a non white woman whose ideas may would have been dismissed by Disney, and probably would have been treated as a prop, instead of the brilliant storyteller she is
whats funny is... if they had simply used more of the actual STORY STRUCTURE of kill bill to develop the acolyte as a series... they could have really had something. I present to you the concept. Episode1, opens with Yoda in the Chancellors office. Hes a large rhinocery alien, maybe no horn. and hes throwing a fit like a angry police chief that's heavy in those 80s cop movies. hes throwing and breaking shit. Yoda is depressed and just sitting there. the Chancellor hurtles some expensive crystal thing off of a stand at Yoda, who mildly catches it with the force and returns it to its pedastol safe, until the Chancellor continues his rage, one time even kicking something. Chancellor: What do you mean it's the forces will!? Theirs dead Jedi and Citizens, an entire tract of planets across multiple star systems have reported Strange actions, out of control Jedi pursuing justice and reports of a unknown group killing citizens! What are you going to do about it! (mockingly almost yet more aggressive and angry) Master Yoda!? Yoda: I have dispatched several masters to confront the Jedi and a group of knights to deal with the aftermath on those planets and find the group causing chaos, to apprehend if possible, or deal with however is necessary. They took a Republic frigate with them and the 77th Republic Marines Squadron. They should be able to deal with any problems. Chancellor: The elections... I'm going to be voted out if you don't fix this, and I will make that your problem before I am gone. If you don't fix this! I will see to it the Jedi are removed from power, their tower taken off Coruscant, and not a brick of their foundry on any Republic planet of good standing or bad! You will be vagabonds in space. Yoda looks mildly amused yet reprobative at the threats and tone. Yoda: Any man who would put their will and well being over that of the good of the Republic should not be in power. I am sure that is not how you would really act. Chancellor: I told you I would! (loud and bluffly) And I will. If you do not carry your part of this deal between the Republic and the Jedi, the Republic will have no use for the Jedi or the force. Yoda stares calmly at him. Yoda: We will see Chancellor, I think you will come to regret your fears. Chancellor: I don't care if (mockingly) it leads to the dark-side! Where-ever the voters needs are, I will go. You Jedi belong to the Republic, do not forget that. Yoda: I see regret always when ever people give into emotions like this. We will discuss this when you are more calm. Until then have faith in the force and the Jedi Council. We will see to apprehend the break away faction of Jedi and whoever is killing people. Chancellor: You better. You are walking on lace steel here, too much weight on any one part. (the Chancellor smashes a glass sculpture of a alien vase) and it will crumble and take you down under it. Yoda smiles and nods. Yoda: "If I may go, Chancellor? Chancellor: Go... I trust you more then I should... and you are right. I regret my passion. It is the way of my people. Yoda: I know Chancellor, and I understand the great burden on your shoulders to care for the breadth of the Republic from one end of the galaxy to the other, it is a burden, too much for even the Jedi to watch all the time, much less one Chancellor and Senate. We will go where you tell us. Chancellor: Thank you, Grand-master Yoda. Yoda: Calling me friend in private is fine. Chancellor: Thank you, friend Yoda. Yoda smiles and walks up to the Chancellor to Gently pat his knee (Chancellor is tall, and he bends down to Yoda, face to face almost). Yoda and the Chancellor nod to each other and he stands up right and both part ways. (so that would be the hook, followed by a full episode story following Yord in the past being a heroic jedi, solving crimes in a city and bringing justice where it was lacking previously.
Verisimilitude is the key to good writing. Adherence to a body of rules. Hard to do that when you don't have any familiarity with the physics of Star Wars. Instead it's constantly Make-****-Up o'clock and everything is made of bull****ium.
Not only the obvious, but wasn’t there a disturbance in the Force that the rest of the Jedi felt? This just makes no sense at all, in any way. Complete and utter nonsense.
I keep coming back to George Lucas’s comment “creating magic isn’t for amateurs”. Everything about this is amateur and they have created no magic.
I think that also going for Marvel as well
I disagree! There is a ton of magic going on here, but you're not paying attention I guess. They made the entire fan base disappear. ABRA CA POCUS!

In EU canon, as of the start of Episode II there were about ten thousand knights and masters.

10:45 I think I might have it: the issue is that they’re writing *for* hack film students. Thats their target audience.
Chekov’s gun is too cliche, so future plot points cannot be alluded to before hand.
The other thing though too is that he would actually smell the scent of burnt hair when talking to her I mean how stupid is this Jedi Master. Hair has a distinct smell when it's burnt and it's not a smell that goes away right away.
The whole series is some twisted person's sick fantasy that nothing 'good' actually exists, to justify how sad they are inside. I pity them.
plot armor is composed of cortosis
Plot armor is apathy. If Leslye doesn't care about her own characters, why should we. Yawn. 😴
they said 4 million watched this show in the premier night, and it retained less than 60% of viewers.... I mean, the only ones watching this crap now are the people who have YT review channels
And bots, remember, made by AI for AI Disney Star Wars garbage.
This power creep of force powers somehow doesn't capture any of the pre-Disney coolness and mystique. This is like an AI generated collage of terrible fan-fiction.
BINGO-BINGO-BINGO! I have waited for someone to say this very thing!
AI bots are writing the story and they probably used Gemini since it was designed to be racist against white people.
Notice how ALL the whites are dying, or committing self-deletion from their inherent "white guilt."
Everyones a jedi in star wars now. Average Jo Shmo, he's a star wars! Watch him go with the lightsaber WOOO.
Disney has no creativity or talent and have no business in Entertainment anymore.
How does his helmet block Jedi from reading thoughts but one wearing the helmet can still get into the minds of Jedi?
Uh....I'm guessing the reflective side is on the outside. Ya. Imma go with that
Interesting question. Easy answer: stop trying to make sense of it, because the writer didn't write it to have any, if what we see on screen is any indication to go by.
They thought it was a Jedi "Red Wedding" but it was only the "Red-Shirt Jedi Wipping". Nobody cared about them, some even cheered for Yord and Jackee's demises! 🤣🤣🤣
The cortosis problem has an added level of problem with it. It doesn't exist in Disney Star Wars. Remember, that's legends and that was banished from Disney canon. They have not worked at all to reintroduce it in the setting.
It was in a canon book.
@@jikkithesneaky What book? Did they do that as part of the High Republic?
@@Cortanis001 book is called thrawn: alliances
@@jikkithesneaky Ah, I see. Published in 2018. I had already checked out of Disney Star Wars by then. As such I don't consider the rewrite as part of proper canon in the first place. After all, Disney is rewriting literally everything including making the Jedi into an evil organization. So credibility in content is slim to none.
GoT: The Red Wedding was in se3ep7. Years of character development in one of the world's most popular shows. People cared.
Disney: we have no ideas, so gonna copy the best bits of shows the humans like, screw the development time.
Viewers (the few left): signed up for Bluey, Star Wars is just white noise to fall asleep to.
Everyone else: "NAW, we're fine!!"
What is up with these Jedi outfits, are they going to a pyjama party..? And why all the lightsaber colours? Yellow Lightsabers are only used by Jedi Temple guards? Clueless
Headland's mission is to destroy all that was good with SW because her sympathies lie with the Sith
@@ghostrecon6788 From her point of view, the Jedi are evil.
The wardrobe eXpErT is a DEI hire, surprise, surprise.
She's appeared in some promotional videos for the series.
Clearly she just copied the naff costumes off the High Republic book. sO cReAtIvE!
Jedi rave party, I guess.
Yellow lightsabers were used as early as 1978 with the Luke Skywalker Kenner action figure and it continued with the Empire Strikes Back Bespin Fatigues Luke figure.
I felt sorry for the Jedi who died in Revenge of the Sith, and I hardly knew them as characters until I started to read more about them.
These "Jedi"...I don't care to know about them, and their deaths means a whole bunch of nothing to me.
I'm literally 20 and have watched hours of people tearing it to shreds
Hang on there, the bots love it! Made by AI for AI. Just DEIsney Star Wars garbage.
What I find interesting is comparing SW Acolyte to even Star Trek Prodigy and compare the storyline.
I would think if Darth Squishy had this obscure metal that can short out light sabers, he'd have it on his gauntlets or breastplate, not on his helmet. That would put him in a compromised position, ie--sticking his neck out--when he uses it.
That metal makes me go why not use blasters? 😂 Lightsabers arent worth shit now.
If Cortosis was "in the EU"... so was Mundi's age.
Were we supposed to care about these characters? I took this episode to be a crazy 88 from kill bill scene rather than a red wedding.
The intent being shock factor and to introduce the powerful Sith, as that's what Headland wanted to focus on with the series; a study of the Sith.
Disney Star Wars is all over the timeline because they can't go forward. They should be on Episode 13 or 14 by now, but they have not talent. They have nothing, their drowning and pulling from everything from anywhere to stay alive.
Even the Jedi council forgot about them.
even if sol was blind, he'd say "why do you smell like burnt hair?"
It's not just nobody cared, it's that losing those Jedi didn't have any major impact on the structure of the world. There's still a Jedi council, still a lot of padawans, etc. The Red Wedding turned the power structure of the world upside down. This was mostly meaningless.
Caring for characters in a story starts with the writer/writers.
How they tell a characters story demonstrates how they feel about them, and they audience will likely feel and see them the same way.
Headlamp and her team don't care about these characters, they're little more than props for her to send her message.
She feels nothing for this series or these characters and in turn the audience feels nothing for them either.
They never learn.
So I get that not all Jedi masters are combat oriented (I don't think anyone at disney understands what a jedi master is but whatever). To use a martial arts analogy, a padawan is like a white belt in BJJ, Jedi masters are black belts. I've rolled with black belts and they know exactly what you're going to do and the counter and you have no right moves. But they just decided Jecki should use girl power or something.
Yeah what made the Red Wedding so impactful in the books and show is that you genuinely cared for these characters and it happened so far into the story. With this its just like "good, i hope he kills everyone."
She was a wammin, and she had boss babe plot armour skills.
brown wedding, also by the time the show takes place cortosis would be almost non-existant. most people know about cortosis thanks to Kotor because in the old republic era they needed to fuse vibro weapons with cortosis agaisnt lightsaber users or "cortosis weave"d alloy, it wouldnt disrupt the lightsaber but it would allow the blade to clash without melting. theres like only 1 instance of pure cortosis being used to disrupt lightsabers in a comic. the whole pure cortosis thing is a super fringe EU idea that nobody cares about and obviously it doesnt block the force. it was first adopted by the echani i beleive to fend off the jedi, its super rare and brittle and again was only prevalantly used in the old republic era to be able to stand against lightsaber weilders. with the sith in hiding there would be no need to manufacture cortosis over beskar
Cortosis wasn't even introduced in the first show they used it in
of course he had magic cortosis armor. because the script forgot that he could've just used force choke or force lightning on these "jedi" twerps instead, killing them instantly. I mean, if you can basically fly using the force, I'm sure he could've done that as well...
Just just a little something I should share with you guys but before Padawan Jackie actually knocked off the helmet and shattered it it was already broken because when Master soul ended up punching dude in the face with his helmet on no doubt it was already broken in a sense so you know a lot of you guys should already know that cortosis is a very it's a very weak material that is the main reason why they use durasteel mixed with cortosis for the Star destroyers
We did not even inow by name most of these guys. You do not feel bad for a dead in an Ego shooter.
My theory:
I bet Lesley brings Revan into star wars as a women (because star wars is disney princesses in space now, and god forbid they give a man a front and center role for a future project). Her little hint at wanting to make a series based on the old Republic could be a hint to who comes and defeates Qimir or possibly, be his master.. which then is linked to the Revan Legion, in The Last Jedi.
I can’t wait for the scene in the Coruscant hotel room where Mei explains to O.S.H.A. why she’s been blacking out so often and has all those receipts of hotel stays in other cities because Mei has been setting up franchises all over the galaxy but the only way O.S.H.A. can make sure is she visits that one bartender who now is wearing a halo brace because he didn’t pass his…or their fight club match with flying colors.
I'm pretty sure you could easily tell a "fight club"-esque story based on the Coruscant criminal underground, or even as own of the Hutts' moneymaking scenes, located somewhere in the Outer Rim. Would STILL be more authentic (and unique) than anything else they are trying now.
@4:48 lmfao classic Pro.
No one even talks about how the episode starts with Osha on the opposite side to where she was thrown at the end of ep4. 🤦♂️
Q: How do people survive lightsaber blows? How do they cut their hair with lightsabers, and not ignite the hair or suffer serious injury?
A: Fireproofing.
I enjoy ensuring the paint on the wall STAYS DRY from 3 years ago over watching this train wreck.
09:45. I have to agree with Valliant on that point. For a studio who was so eager to dump the EU/Legends and the successful blueprint it provided for key characters for the next 10-20 years, they seem to "borrow" quite a lot from the EU (I wonder how the original authors of those ideas feel about not getting any royalties/residuals), but at the same time refuses to actually do the EU stories (probably because they can't anymore, because they screwed up Luke's family tree with their "ST", and instead want to do their VASTLY worse "own universe" (with showrunners, directors and writers who are actively embarrassing the studio with what they come up with). Kinda makes you think, doesn't it?
But to add to the "read a random coloring book, novel or something" remark, Valliant, you have to remember that there is an ENTIRE NEW timeline of JUST Disney Star Wars canon (via their recent novels, games, comics, etc. ever since the company bought the franchise). So, one has to ask: if they can't even write something that is in line with the original canon, is ANY of their CURRENT canon even in line with what they put on screen in their streaming shows (if the showrunners and writers are simply "making it up as they go"?). I'm going to lean into a hard NO with that one, because I don't think there is someone who is even checking lore consistency on their NEW canon (I also can't find any mention of such a person anywhere).
When in comes to Cortosis; I thought Disney declared the EU wasn't cannon. So if it's not cannon it's bullshit right?
I was kinda sad Jecki died, but only because she was pretty good with her lightsabers for a padawan. RIP.
Red wedding - characters we loved were betrayed and murdered without a chance to fight back, morons get a 6v1 beatdown. Not quite the same.
The only comparable media to The Acolyte is that telekinetic homicidal tire movie "Rubber": _No Reason_
The point of the Rubber movie was to be absurd (the telekinetic serial killer tire kinda gives it away). I'm pretty sure this show isn't TRYING to be absurd. Big difference. :P
Cortosis was in a canon book about thrawn and Anakin. There was an attempt to make droids out of it. But it was to hard to get and too fragile outside of energy based attacks. That's why it broke so easy when jecki hit it. It's been canon..
Which means it shouldn’t be used as armor.
Also, when was there a canon book with both Anakin and Thrawn? I must have missed that one. The only one I know about is classified as Legends.
@@John-fk2ky thrawn: alliances. It's a canon novel with a story of Vader and thrawn and Anakin and thrawn. They find a droid factory trying to make droids out of it. It's "durable" but it's hard to get and process. Likely why qimirs helmet is cracked and and he only has one vambrace, it's strictly meant for fighting saber and blaster weilders.
I was watching greg owen. He was watching the show, and his wife came in. She said the show is made for ten year olds. He then subjugated his ten year old boy to the show. He loved it.
It's made for ten year olds and stupid wine ladies.
The After-Party: "Yay it's over!"
In "The Phantom Menous" Obi-Wan was in his late teens to early twenties.
25 years old actually.
Mae is going to be able to hide her forehead from Sol, but he will notice the arm tattoo is missing, and she won't know he's onto her.
Prediction logged.
When qimir said 'so you can read my mind?', I took it as teasing/taunting, saying the same thing he said in the apothecary shop....giving Sol a chance to feel even dumber after the reveal.
Half these characters didn’t even have names. Why should we care any more seeing them iced than any other Stormtrooper
Another amazing episode, haha. They are just complete hacks at this point. This show is so painfully pathetic that you almost wanna feel bad for them but can't because they have ruined something made by my childhood and something g I have a deep love for. Then they try to copy another show. Can no one at Disney come up with their own ideas?
You forgot about Hobbit luncheons and afternoon teas. LOL
How the hell is not House of the Dragon in the top 10 ranking of most viewed shows and the acolyte is????
jecki was the best character. she actually tried to fight evil, and she was pretty smart and consistent
dont care about the rest. including sol.
I'm 18 and this show is horrible and it's disgusting to call this Star Wars forget Shows like Asoka, Book of Boba Fett, Tales of the Empire and Mandolin Season 3 the Acolyte alone Ordered 66 Star Wars those other Shows tried but they weren't bad enough to kill Star Wars don't get me wrong there still bad but the Acolyte is so bad it somehow makes the other Star Wars Shows look good and I hate saying that but seriously guys that Rey Movie if it even happens at this point might be the last thing Disney ever makes because at this point I think the Fans are ready to ether force Disney to give up Star Wars or Stop Caring about the Franchise.
To be fair, Vader did use Cortosis and Fel and his imperial knights used it and it was standard issue for them
If I remember my limited knowledge of Star Wars lore accurately, the material was pretty rare, and you could potentially outfit a small group with it, but not an entire army. Also, because it was rare, it would be VERY expensive to buy, if one didn't have a natural source of it at one's disposal.

I did not watch Weinstein 'ACOLYTE' Lesley Headland's FROZEN meets Crouching Jedi Hidden Sith Kill Bill Force Fu Space Balls Mog comic book Opus. I was upset hearing X-23 Geeki was killed worse than Carrie Ann Moss being killed with a kierpon knife within 5 minutes of her 1st scene.🙆🏾🙅🏾🤦🏾Make it make sense.
Kuntleen said the EU was not canon. When they realized the hundreds of stories, items, practices, and material in EU were there when they couldn't come up with ANYTHING original on their own, what did they do? They took almost EVERY element of their garbage shows FROM THE EU!!! And then they ruined those, too! Great work, Kuntleen, Baloni, and Lezzye! 🤮
Did Master Seoul ever check in on the Wookie?
Yep. Pro is right. There’s no human discernment involved in the making of this show.
yoda in the clone war debunk the whole twins thing with him and surviving clones and how he could tell them apart each other through the force, clone war season 1 ep 1 ambush
I think The Acolyte, the whole show. Is actually dummber than The Rise Of Palpatines space horsees.🤣🤣🤣
It's the Batman and Robin of LucasFilm.
@@nilssonakerlund2852that's an insult to Batman and Robin to compare it to the Acolyte.
Im sorry are there People who still hate the Prequels?
0:24 - but you did care, you’ve made several videos about it 😂😂
the helmet block the force?
how is it possible to force-push a bunch of jedi wearing the helmet?
Darth Vaders suit was partially made of Cortosis material in legends
Except when you watch fights in the movies, none of the Jedi fighting him has their lightsabers "short out". That "partial Cortosis" might have been added to get a writer out of a tight narrative spot, but it also slightly contradicts with what we see on screen in the movies.
It was just a flesh wound a bandaid and a look from Ahsoka folding her arms and she will be ready for more
Kk squats over the litter box puts it in production
How about the trees falling the wrong way! LOL
Darth Maul was overconfident after killing Obi Wan's Master.
The Jedi killed were DEI hires.
Kurtosis? You can defeat a light saber with statistics?
I've been played a video game which presented a villain so well written that no matter if you hate him or love him, you realize that if you has been in his place, you may have done the same things because you understand his motives. Which is horrific considering he is a mass murdered
It's insane that a videogame which needs just the tiniest of stories to justify quests, can deliver something so outstanding, when a industry devoted to the single goal of telling stories, can't make something logic or enjoyable
By the way, the writer of such story is a non white woman whose ideas may would have been dismissed by Disney, and probably would have been treated as a prop, instead of the brilliant storyteller she is
Pro needs to stop interrupting so much and keep his ego in his own show. He's his own best fan!
WAIT. She wakes up at the beginning and is knocked out at the end? Did this episode happen, or is it an illusion? All these characters may be alive.
I saw the thumbnail and my first thought was..."Everybody's dead Dave...." !
Honestly not only don't i care about these characters, I don't care about anything related to Disney Star Wars, not even these videos anymore
whats funny is... if they had simply used more of the actual STORY STRUCTURE of kill bill to develop the acolyte as a series... they could have really had something.
I present to you the concept. Episode1, opens with Yoda in the Chancellors office. Hes a large rhinocery alien, maybe no horn. and hes throwing a fit like a angry police chief that's heavy in those 80s cop movies. hes throwing and breaking shit. Yoda is depressed and just sitting there. the Chancellor hurtles some expensive crystal thing off of a stand at Yoda, who mildly catches it with the force and returns it to its pedastol safe, until the Chancellor continues his rage, one time even kicking something.
Chancellor: What do you mean it's the forces will!? Theirs dead Jedi and Citizens, an entire tract of planets across multiple star systems have reported Strange actions, out of control Jedi pursuing justice and reports of a unknown group killing citizens! What are you going to do about it! (mockingly almost yet more aggressive and angry) Master Yoda!?
Yoda: I have dispatched several masters to confront the Jedi and a group of knights to deal with the aftermath on those planets and find the group causing chaos, to apprehend if possible, or deal with however is necessary. They took a Republic frigate with them and the 77th Republic Marines Squadron. They should be able to deal with any problems.
Chancellor: The elections... I'm going to be voted out if you don't fix this, and I will make that your problem before I am gone. If you don't fix this! I will see to it the Jedi are removed from power, their tower taken off Coruscant, and not a brick of their foundry on any Republic planet of good standing or bad! You will be vagabonds in space.
Yoda looks mildly amused yet reprobative at the threats and tone.
Yoda: Any man who would put their will and well being over that of the good of the Republic should not be in power. I am sure that is not how you would really act.
Chancellor: I told you I would! (loud and bluffly) And I will. If you do not carry your part of this deal between the Republic and the Jedi, the Republic will have no use for the Jedi or the force.
Yoda stares calmly at him.
Yoda: We will see Chancellor, I think you will come to regret your fears.
Chancellor: I don't care if (mockingly) it leads to the dark-side! Where-ever the voters needs are, I will go. You Jedi belong to the Republic, do not forget that.
Yoda: I see regret always when ever people give into emotions like this. We will discuss this when you are more calm. Until then have faith in the force and the Jedi Council. We will see to apprehend the break away faction of Jedi and whoever is killing people.
Chancellor: You better. You are walking on lace steel here, too much weight on any one part. (the Chancellor smashes a glass sculpture of a alien vase) and it will crumble and take you down under it.
Yoda smiles and nods.
Yoda: "If I may go, Chancellor?
Chancellor: Go... I trust you more then I should... and you are right. I regret my passion. It is the way of my people.
Yoda: I know Chancellor, and I understand the great burden on your shoulders to care for the breadth of the Republic from one end of the galaxy to the other, it is a burden, too much for even the Jedi to watch all the time, much less one Chancellor and Senate. We will go where you tell us.
Chancellor: Thank you, Grand-master Yoda.
Yoda: Calling me friend in private is fine.
Chancellor: Thank you, friend Yoda.
Yoda smiles and walks up to the Chancellor to Gently pat his knee (Chancellor is tall, and he bends down to Yoda, face to face almost). Yoda and the Chancellor nod to each other and he stands up right and both part ways.
(so that would be the hook, followed by a full episode story following Yord in the past being a heroic jedi, solving crimes in a city and bringing justice where it was lacking previously.
Verisimilitude is the key to good writing. Adherence to a body of rules. Hard to do that when you don't have any familiarity with the physics of Star Wars. Instead it's constantly Make-****-Up o'clock and everything is made of bull****ium.
Not only the obvious, but wasn’t there a disturbance in the Force that the rest of the Jedi felt?
This just makes no sense at all, in any way. Complete and utter nonsense.
I'm a fan of Dafne Keen, and I'm glad that her character was killed off. The sooner she separates herself from this dumpster fire, the better.
