Murdering a Jedi in cold blood, abandoning her sister after wiping all her memories (one of the most tragic things to happen to a person IRL) and riding off into the sunset with the hot murderer that butchered all her friends and allies a few hours prior (with how time works in this show). Considering Osha's actions an unironic 'triumph' speaks volumes on how twisted and sick in the head the writers and Lesley must be.

The fans kinda deserve Acolyte. They clapped at the trash that was Luke (Mandolorian) and Anakin (Ashoka and Obi Wan) and Darth Vader (Ashoka and Obi Wan) cameos so many times that the bar just got THIS low.

Bobba Fett befriended the Tusken Raiders that enslaved him. (I’m leaving out the movies to keep the list short) We’ve been killing the dream now for many a show.
Regarding Star Wars fans hating Star Wars, Disney/Lucasfilm needs to refer to the lesson D'Artagnan tries to impart on King Louis XVI in Man in the Iron Mask: "If Athos has become our enemy, we must ask ourselves why."

@@EvilDoresh Oh god, that would make sense. Can somebody pitch that to Disney, it can proudly be pronounced the first psychological horror movie in disney star wars.
Unironically sounds exactly like what I do in Stellaris just for the sake of a power fantasy. Once I get to a certain point, I could just run through the galaxy and conquer/destroy literally everything, but if I focus all of my development inwards and maximise the potential of all my existing territory first, that gives the rest of the galaxy hundreds of years to build Megastructures, which each empire (player included) can only build one of each, allowing me to surpass that barrier by stealing everyone else's, allowing for an otherwise impossible level of power that I don't need, I just want
Don't forget the d20 to decide which Occupational Safety and Health Administration is active in the current scene. Heck, probably a whole bag of dice to randomly generate the rest of the script, too.
You think this series was written? Pretty sure they just put a camera in someone's hands and just started shooting. Doesn't sound like anyone had any idea of storytelling. It's just a hodgepodge of ideas that dont work together. It sounds like chat gtp wrote this
I yelled when Sol was letting OSHA kill him. I was thinking that this is how she completes her journey to the Dark side. I could believe a Jedi s good intentions leading them to the dark side but having 4 emotionally unbalanced Jedi "Masters" fall is absurd. Jedi aren't evil. Fake Wizard brought up a good point of OSHA killing her father figure and the only person that loved her. The message Disney is delivering is warped.
The scene of Saul’s death seems like a combination of Batman’s death in Suicide Squad game and Littlefinger’s death in Game of Thrones. Both are terrible examples of how to kill a character.
“Attack me with all your stre-“. *dies to the Nightsiters, the real witches of Star Wars* The Nightsistes: “You are a pathetic witch, and would bring dishonor, were you a Nightsister”.

@@JoshPeterson Darth Tenebrous took Plagueis to Bal'demnic and was mining Cortosis in a cave. That makes this planet Bal'demnic. We already see natural deposits of Cortosis all over Qimir's cave dwelling.
Osha is upset her mother was killed by accident and murders someone for it, but the guy who needlessly massacred all her friends including a love interest, corrupted her sister, and kidnapped her is not only A-okay, but a love interest. Leslye and her writers are bad people. They are evil and we should be talking more about how unbelievably amoral THE FORMER ASSISTANT OF HARVEY WEINSTEIN is and how Disney has her writing shows for children.
i noticed a weird thing with the sabers, when osha hold the now red light saber up to her face its not lighting her face up at all. there just the red glow clearly added over the shot in post. They couldnt be bothered getting a red light saber blade and using it to light her face. thats how little they gave a crap about this show
This just reminded me, when Revenge of this Sith came out, there was this toy of Anakin's lightsaber that would turn the blade from blue to red when you pushed a button. Apparently, a toy company in 2005 could make a lightsaber prop that changes the blade colour, but Disney can't do it for $180 million. Someone please get the IRS to look into this show's budget, because I have no idea where that money went.
@@JaimieSch I had a similar lightsaber like that, must have been around 15 years ago. It had claws at the top of the shaft and there was a button to extend them. When they were extended, the blade was red. When the claws were in, the blade was blue.
i think the thing that hurts even more is that not only is it bad, the people that made it hate the fans and continually gas light them. I tell you they just hate us... its the same kind of people that hated fans when the first star wars movie first came out
The worst part might also be the fact there’s a skeleton of a good show somewhere buried deep down in here but they fleshed it out so terribly. This could have been a really cool show about the Sith operating behind the scenes to build their power. Maybe even a Palpatine origin story. But instead we got lesbian space witches chanting and singing.
Its one of the new concepts they introduced in Disney canon. Lightsaber crystals are alive with the force and naturally attuned to the light. Red lightsabers are the result of crystals being infused with the dark side. So the saber changed color because Osha channeled her hatred into the crystal inside of it.
You can bleed the crystals red in the lore. Of course, this is done by removing the crystal entirely from the lightsaber, and then spending a significant amount of time channeling rage, pain, and fear with the dark side of the force though the crystal. Not feeling angry while the crystal is partially exposed to air and the lightsaber is still on.
Now I want some well written story or satire by not Disney to just play with the meta trope red light=bad other colors=good. Either play it straight like starting right off into duel and the audience figures out the Jedi has a red lightsaber; or something comedic with all the Jedi igniting their sabers then looking at the one with the red beam ("What? Red's my favorite color - I found a red crystal!")
We also know it doesn’t happen instantly because Anakin turned to the dark side in Revenge of the Sith, he literally killed a room full of children and his lightsaber was still blue the entire fight against Obi-Wan
Okay, these guys managed to salvage the Plagus cameo by making him this wholesome roommate for Smilo. 😂😂 "You should get out more. Take her somewhere nice."
If you aren't familiar with the EU and you're watching that episode, you're like "who the fuck is this guy in the the cave spying on them", and then he's gone and doesn't return.... I honest believe he was added into that scene at the last second as season 2 bait for the show runner
The good guys are all killed. The bad guys escape and have a tender moment holding hands in the sunset, two star-crossed misunderstood serial murderers now free to live their best life, and self actualize out from under the jackboot of the oppressive jedi regime. The other survivors are all utterly compromised. Nice going. Not the kind of moral framework I'll be presenting to my children, but hey, I guess it works in certain circles.
The concept of *time* in this series is flexible at best. (Less charitable descriptive words are available...) Ditto for what passes for *"morality"* ~ Both have been distorted by passing too close to the *black* *hole* that it is?

@@chadparsons9954I don’t think that was meant to be a reference to the actor being Korean, I think they were referring to how the show is stealing concepts from the samurai bushido code, such as only drawing your weapon if you intend to kill with it.
This show was over the second it became clear that Headland doesn't understand that the Sith are evil. You can't make anything with such faulty foundations, where you don't even understand the basic fundamental reality of Star Wars. This became all too evident in this last episode, where Osha falling to the dark side and killing her master is not portrayed as tragic and horrible, but justified and triumphant. This show is so morally bankrupt, and filled with hate for the jedi, that it feels like it was written by an actual Sith Lord.
The main jedi in the story are predominantly straight white males and who are the biggest fans of jedi in the real world? Yeah the creators of this show are going to shit and piss all over the franchise.
@JaimieSch For Leslye, the Jedi are men, devoutly religious, and wield power. Of course, she thinks they are evil. Meanwhile, the Sith are rebels, dress cool, why would they not be great or misunderstood?
@@Norvik_-ug3ge Yeah that senator guy just turning up at the end, and giving a whole speech about "jedi bad", was basically Headland getting up on her high horse and lecturing the audience about how they should feel about this. The true irony of that scene, is that the jedi being too involved with the senate is exactly why they ended up getting purged in the prequels.
Vernestra enters Yodas office: "Master i have something to report - oh wait" *awkwardly turns around and puts cortosis helmet on* "eeer something to report to you. we had a camping accident on Brendok and then master Sol fell on his lightsaber, we are all very sad. can we have off for today?" Yoda: "terrible accident, that was!"
The only was for Leslie to save her insert of Plageius is to show that he was manipulating the witches and this was one of his earlier but failed experiments.
I think Neil Breen unironically has a stronger understanding of morality in his characters. He even beat Disney to the punch when it came to artificially created twins with different lives and goals.
If you told me the script was written by AI, I'd just go "Now things are starting to make sense". There's like no object permanence, sense of time and place, or consistent characterizations. If this isn't due to AI, the writing team must've been particularly inane. It almost feels like every other scene is from a different version of the script.
i love the dynamics of the people on this bar show. Drinker, Mauler, Nerdrotic, SnarkyJay and star wars theory all combined together. I am having popcorn. Sure I could write down a comment about the Acolyte. But I am not going to bother, because these videos are way more entertaining then the show itself.
Leslye Headland's wife character: -> beginning of season: "Oh Sol, my dear old friend" -> end of season: "Yeh, i will blame him for everything" => Jedi Maste, throwing pal under the bus in this show. Surely feels like Star Wars 😂
I never saw "Squid Game," so this show introduced me to Lee Jung-jae and made me like him and want to see more of him a series or movie with better writing. For that. I'm grateful. But everything else...
Potential Dark Sith Lords for future episodes.. Darth Vegas sporting an Elvis style pompadour haircut and glittery cape, or Darth Haggis wearing a kilt and brandishing weaponized bagpipes.
You know what’s really ironic? Star Wars already has witches, and they’re a lot cooler than the ones from Acolyte. They died in an epic battle protecting their home of Dathomir, they had honor, power, a sisterhood. The Nightsisters died fighting to the end, and ruled their planet of Dathomir. The witches in Acolyte ruled a dinky little island on some forgettable planet, and all died from fire and a bad headache.
To think that this mess of a series (7 half-eps + 1 full-ep) cost 50% more than the *whole* of Babylon 5 (110 eps) even allowing for inflation. The power of Disney stupidity... 🤯
The power of one, the power of two, The power of money laundering! Imagine if Babylon 5 had had a decent budget? I firmly believe that story and well developed characters trumps (hate to use this word now) everything else.
@@MegaGasek With its excellent ongoing plot, powerful and developing characters, good writing, music, etc., it was so very easy to overlook budgetary constraints to "suspend disbelief" with Babylon 5. The Acolyte doesn't so much suspend disbelief as hang, draw and quarter it before despoiling the corpse. : /
Someone else had pointed out the timing, which there is no concept of in this show, the events of 5,6, and 8 seem to occur over the course of a day or 2 at most.
Looking at 11:27 - the reason behind her lack of expression became clear. She's clearly a graduate of the Comatose Kristin Stewart acting method school, with the emotional range of a Vulcan. How well would an ILM built robot* A.I. facially emote? actually no, even an a.i. would be better, an incorrect expression, happy when sad, would still have been some show of emotion Once a month my lightsaber turns red; finally some decent lore! >XD *# Ziegler line: Discontinue *# Stenberg line: Discontinue ** ...
When Vernestra finishes explaining herself, Yoda states, "GREAT deception I sense in you. BLAMELESS, Sol is! Think me blind, do you? Take over this investigation, I shall - a Jedi, YOU are NOT."
Disney stockholders must be going crazy that Disney spent 180 million dollars on not just the worst Star Wars show of al time but possibly the worst TV show of all time. 180 million dollars spent with zero positive returns and only ridicule.
There is no way that show cost that money, the effects lighting costumes and sets was half assed budget looking, at times it even look like a low budget movie

@@matthewchandler7845could do without Theory. Acolyte feels like a show made to see “hey there, will you still clap like a seal when we make a show this crap?” Took him this level of a quality drop to wake up.
This is what happens when you have writers who base good and evil purely on their own emotions as opposed to objective morality. They end up making everyone evil but declaring the ones they created as bean-flick material as good.
I bailed out of Star Wars a while back after finishing the Clone Wars which was superb. I went back for the glimmers of hope that appeared periodically, such as Rouge One, Andor and the Bad Batch. Fans wants shows and movies like these.🇦🇺
It's a show made by people who know nothing about Star Wars, for people who know nothing about Star Wars. It was a 180 million dollar middle finger to everyone who actually liked Star Wars.
Other shows may have been bad, but The Acolyte has made it difficult for Star Wars fans to be taken seriously. A guy in the 80s with a Yoda tattoo between his butt-cheeks was "cooler" than someone who watched and enjoyed The Acolyte in 2024. There's bad, and then there's "point and laugh at", which is what Star Wars has become.
The Acolyte was so bad imo that even if it was a stand alone series and had nothing to do with the Wider Star Wars universe it's a failure. It did nothing in the first season to really draw people into the story and look forward to more. Actions seem to lack consequences as the MC seem to slaughter their way through the "Good guys", escape all blame and just move on with their lives. Never mind how the characters entire personalty and motivation changes on the drop of a dime, so nothing makes sense. It's like every scene they are a new character just played by the same actor.
loving snarky jay being in the crew now, she's just exploded into my feed lately and she seems really sound. I'm not into cosplay at all but she could dress up as my elderly father and i'd be pretty relaxed about that.

Once I get to a certain point, I could just run through the galaxy and conquer/destroy literally everything, but if I focus all of my development inwards and maximise the potential of all my existing territory first, that gives the rest of the galaxy hundreds of years to build Megastructures, which each empire (player included) can only build one of each, allowing me to surpass that barrier by stealing everyone else's, allowing for an otherwise impossible level of power that I don't need, I just want

I'm convinced that this series was written by people who have only ever read coloring books and eat crayons.
Don't forget the d20 to decide which Occupational Safety and Health Administration is active in the current scene.
Heck, probably a whole bag of dice to randomly generate the rest of the script, too.

@@dw620 It's probably closer to one of those new-fangled narrative RPGs where the dice barely matter and everyone just makes shit up.
They might read crayons and eat coloring books.
You think this series was written? Pretty sure they just put a camera in someone's hands and just started shooting. Doesn't sound like anyone had any idea of storytelling. It's just a hodgepodge of ideas that dont work together. It sounds like chat gtp wrote this
I yelled when Sol was letting OSHA kill him. I was thinking that this is how she completes her journey to the Dark side.
I could believe a Jedi s good intentions leading them to the dark side but having 4 emotionally unbalanced Jedi "Masters" fall is absurd. Jedi aren't evil.
Fake Wizard brought up a good point of OSHA killing her father figure and the only person that loved her. The message Disney is delivering is warped.
Having the protagonist murder someone who is forgiving them for it is wish fulfillment for sociopaths.
@@Pelicanzzz Occupational Safety and Health Administration gets many things she doesn't deserve in the end. Like survival.
The scene of Saul’s death seems like a combination of Batman’s death in Suicide Squad game and Littlefinger’s death in Game of Thrones.
Both are terrible examples of how to kill a character.

Osha is upset her mother was killed by accident and murders someone for it, but the guy who needlessly massacred all her friends including a love interest, corrupted her sister, and kidnapped her is not only A-okay, but a love interest. Leslye and her writers are bad people. They are evil and we should be talking more about how unbelievably amoral THE FORMER ASSISTANT OF HARVEY WEINSTEIN is and how Disney has her writing shows for children.

"mooom, does your lightsaber feel...not fresh... too sometimes?"
Incompetence is strong with The Acolyte.
"Put a chick in it and make it lame and gay!"
I expect nothing and I’m still let down
Life in a nutshell 😭
Supporters keeps talking about how this isn’t for the hard-core nerds, but they keep throwing characters that only the hard-core fans would recognize
"Jedi Master Green Skittle ruined my fucking day" 😂😂😂😂
i noticed a weird thing with the sabers, when osha hold the now red light saber up to her face its not lighting her face up at all. there just the red glow clearly added over the shot in post.
They couldnt be bothered getting a red light saber blade and using it to light her face. thats how little they gave a crap about this show
I didn't like 'Kenobi', but if I was to praise anything about it, it's that they got that part very right. The lightsaber glow was a great touch ngl
Maybe there just wasn't enough money on the budget for that; you can't expect miracles with a measly $180,000,000 budget.
This just reminded me, when Revenge of this Sith came out, there was this toy of Anakin's lightsaber that would turn the blade from blue to red when you pushed a button. Apparently, a toy company in 2005 could make a lightsaber prop that changes the blade colour, but Disney can't do it for $180 million. Someone please get the IRS to look into this show's budget, because I have no idea where that money went.
@@JaimieSch I had a similar lightsaber like that, must have been around 15 years ago. It had claws at the top of the shaft and there was a button to extend them. When they were extended, the blade was red. When the claws were in, the blade was blue.
Lmao $180 million budget and they gave Torbin a fake beard from a Halloween costume
Yoda would go: "Power of many BS you have!"
i think the thing that hurts even more is that not only is it bad, the people that made it hate the fans and continually gas light them. I tell you they just hate us... its the same kind of people that hated fans when the first star wars movie first came out
The worst part might also be the fact there’s a skeleton of a good show somewhere buried deep down in here but they fleshed it out so terribly. This could have been a really cool show about the Sith operating behind the scenes to build their power. Maybe even a Palpatine origin story. But instead we got lesbian space witches chanting and singing.
Light sabers colors are a function of their materials and construction. It cannot change colors once completed.
Its one of the new concepts they introduced in Disney canon. Lightsaber crystals are alive with the force and naturally attuned to the light. Red lightsabers are the result of crystals being infused with the dark side. So the saber changed color because Osha channeled her hatred into the crystal inside of it.
You can bleed the crystals red in the lore. Of course, this is done by removing the crystal entirely from the lightsaber, and then spending a significant amount of time channeling rage, pain, and fear with the dark side of the force though the crystal. Not feeling angry while the crystal is partially exposed to air and the lightsaber is still on.
@@ravenshrike not to mention the fact that it took Vader multiple tries to bleed a crystal, while Osha does it instantly.
Now I want some well written story or satire by not Disney to just play with the meta trope red light=bad other colors=good. Either play it straight like starting right off into duel and the audience figures out the Jedi has a red lightsaber; or something comedic with all the Jedi igniting their sabers then looking at the one with the red beam ("What? Red's my favorite color - I found a red crystal!")
We also know it doesn’t happen instantly because Anakin turned to the dark side in Revenge of the Sith, he literally killed a room full of children and his lightsaber was still blue the entire fight against Obi-Wan
Cool to see Snarky Jay on here. I like when the panel changes from time to time.
That it actually ended without announcing a 12 hour super-director's Snyder-cut is my Only Joy.
5:4 aspect ratio & grey-beige colors? Thank God NO! 🙏😂
Thank you sir for suffering for us and watching it. Never watched it. It watched all your videos on it. Thank you for saving many from that suffering
Just wait until Osha discovers that Smilo Ren has had his special friend Plagueis stashed away on his "private island" the entire time!
Okay, these guys managed to salvage the Plagus cameo by making him this wholesome roommate for Smilo. 😂😂 "You should get out more. Take her somewhere nice."
If you aren't familiar with the EU and you're watching that episode, you're like "who the fuck is this guy in the the cave spying on them", and then he's gone and doesn't return.... I honest believe he was added into that scene at the last second as season 2 bait for the show runner
The good guys are all killed. The bad guys escape and have a tender moment holding hands in the sunset, two star-crossed misunderstood serial murderers now free to live their best life, and self actualize out from under the jackboot of the oppressive jedi regime. The other survivors are all utterly compromised.
Nice going. Not the kind of moral framework I'll be presenting to my children, but hey, I guess it works in certain circles.
My dog took an Acolyte on the carpet. It took a while to clean it up.
Hahaha dude i lost my acolyte
I called the whole "Plagus will base his research on the witch's creating life with the force thing" in episode 3. It was so obvious
We didn't think they'd be so stupid
So gross. Pure trash writing.
A new low. I thought it couldn't get worse than Arse-oka. I was wrong.
Just remember the motto of Russian history.
“And then it got worse.”
The thing is, it WORKED before this point. It had to get to THIS level of bad to wake up people like Star Wars Theory.
The pain I feel for the friends who organized their lives around Star Wars fandom.
They used The Last Jedi Yoda which is actually the Return of The Jedi Yoda they couldn't even make a Fuckin new puppet that looks younger😂😂😂
The concept of *time* in this series is flexible at best. (Less charitable descriptive words are available...)

This show was over the second it became clear that Headland doesn't understand that the Sith are evil. You can't make anything with such faulty foundations, where you don't even understand the basic fundamental reality of Star Wars. This became all too evident in this last episode, where Osha falling to the dark side and killing her master is not portrayed as tragic and horrible, but justified and triumphant. This show is so morally bankrupt, and filled with hate for the jedi, that it feels like it was written by an actual Sith Lord.
The main jedi in the story are predominantly straight white males and who are the biggest fans of jedi in the real world?
Yeah the creators of this show are going to shit and piss all over the franchise.
@JaimieSch For Leslye, the Jedi are men, devoutly religious, and wield power. Of course, she thinks they are evil. Meanwhile, the Sith are rebels, dress cool, why would they not be great or misunderstood?
@@Norvik_-ug3ge Yeah that senator guy just turning up at the end, and giving a whole speech about "jedi bad", was basically Headland getting up on her high horse and lecturing the audience about how they should feel about this. The true irony of that scene, is that the jedi being too involved with the senate is exactly why they ended up getting purged in the prequels.
Vernestra enters Yodas office: "Master i have something to report - oh wait"
*awkwardly turns around and puts cortosis helmet on*
"eeer something to report to you. we had a camping accident on Brendok and then master Sol fell on his lightsaber, we are all very sad. can we have off for today?"
Yoda: "terrible accident, that was!"
Love ALL the groups comments!! And Drinker, you’re looking GOOD!! Nice tie!! Thanks guys!! 💕🇦🇺💃
The only was for Leslie to save her insert of Plageius is to show that he was manipulating the witches and this was one of his earlier but failed experiments.
Oh no I think it’s the opposite. I think Leslye is saying that the witches did it first and that’s where Plageius got the idea.
Acolyte just made me want to revisit and learn more about the REAL witches of Star Wars: the Nightsister clan of Dathomir.

Sounds like Disney needs to bring in Neil Breen to save this franchise.
I think Neil Breen unironically has a stronger understanding of morality in his characters. He even beat Disney to the punch when it came to artificially created twins with different lives and goals.
It feels like i'm finally reaching the void, and soon I reach the point where things never end.
If you told me the script was written by AI, I'd just go "Now things are starting to make sense".
There's like no object permanence, sense of time and place, or consistent characterizations. If this isn't due to AI, the writing team must've been particularly inane. It almost feels like every other scene is from a different version of the script.
i love the dynamics of the people on this bar show. Drinker, Mauler, Nerdrotic, SnarkyJay and star wars theory all combined together. I am having popcorn.
Sure I could write down a comment about the Acolyte. But I am not going to bother, because these videos are way more entertaining then the show itself.
Lesley was Harvey Weinsein's Acolyte and Darth Plaugius used to creep on them.
This is one of the most entertaining episodes. I could watch this on repeat.
You're a natural, keep doing what you do
Leslye Headland's wife character:
-> beginning of season: "Oh Sol, my dear old friend"
-> end of season: "Yeh, i will blame him for everything"
=> Jedi Maste, throwing pal under the bus in this show. Surely feels like Star Wars 😂
I never saw "Squid Game," so this show introduced me to Lee Jung-jae and made me like him and want to see more of him a series or movie with better writing. For that. I'm grateful. But everything else...
I thought he was the only actor who was equal to their role. Despite the stupid stuff the writers had him do, he played a convincing Jedi.
Potential Dark Sith Lords for future episodes.. Darth Vegas sporting an Elvis style pompadour haircut and glittery cape, or Darth Haggis wearing a kilt and brandishing weaponized bagpipes.
Darth Trump.
@@EvilDoresh with or without the bandaged ear?
You know what’s really ironic? Star Wars already has witches, and they’re a lot cooler than the ones from Acolyte. They died in an epic battle protecting their home of Dathomir, they had honor, power, a sisterhood. The Nightsisters died fighting to the end, and ruled their planet of Dathomir. The witches in Acolyte ruled a dinky little island on some forgettable planet, and all died from fire and a bad headache.
To think that this mess of a series (7 half-eps + 1 full-ep) cost 50% more than the *whole* of Babylon 5 (110 eps) even allowing for inflation.
The power of Disney stupidity... 🤯
The power of one, the power of two, The power of money laundering! Imagine if Babylon 5 had had a decent budget? I firmly believe that story and well developed characters trumps (hate to use this word now) everything else.
@@MegaGasek With its excellent ongoing plot, powerful and developing characters, good writing, music, etc., it was so very easy to overlook budgetary constraints to "suspend disbelief" with Babylon 5.
The Acolyte doesn't so much suspend disbelief as hang, draw and quarter it before despoiling the corpse. : /
and bab5 was so well done ..you would watch it again.....acotyle.......is anybody watching it?
The real question is, can this get worse, or has the pendulum started to (truly) swing?!🤔
Every time Leslye Headland speaks, my soul dies a little bit more. 😢
Someone else had pointed out the timing, which there is no concept of in this show, the events of 5,6, and 8 seem to occur over the course of a day or 2 at most.
Looking at 11:27 - the reason behind her lack of expression became clear. She's clearly a graduate of the Comatose Kristin Stewart acting method school, with the emotional range of a Vulcan.
How well would an ILM built robot* A.I. facially emote? actually no, even an a.i. would be better, an incorrect expression, happy when sad, would still have been some show of emotion

Disney stockholders must be going crazy that Disney spent 180 million dollars on not just the worst Star Wars show of al time but possibly the worst TV show of all time. 180 million dollars spent with zero positive returns and only ridicule.

This is what happens when you have writers who base good and evil purely on their own emotions as opposed to objective morality. They end up making everyone evil but declaring the ones they created as bean-flick material as good.

Legend has it that the bankruptcy of this show - creative or actually being broke - is what led to the malnutrition of lightsabers in years to come
Other shows may have been bad, but The Acolyte has made it difficult for Star Wars fans to be taken seriously. A guy in the 80s with a Yoda tattoo between his butt-cheeks was "cooler" than someone who watched and enjoyed The Acolyte in 2024. There's bad, and then there's "point and laugh at", which is what Star Wars has become.
RIP Star Wars. Hope Andor season 2 is not ruined
The Acolyte was so bad imo that even if it was a stand alone series and had nothing to do with the Wider Star Wars universe it's a failure. It did nothing in the first season to really draw people into the story and look forward to more. Actions seem to lack consequences as the MC seem to slaughter their way through the "Good guys", escape all blame and just move on with their lives. Never mind how the characters entire personalty and motivation changes on the drop of a dime, so nothing makes sense. It's like every scene they are a new character just played by the same actor.
loving snarky jay being in the crew now, she's just exploded into my feed lately and she seems really sound. I'm not into cosplay at all but she could dress up as my elderly father and i'd be pretty relaxed about that.
