Interesting. We have reached a point where Disney and Star Wars are portraying homosexuality and nudity on screen and calling it "family programming." Meanwhile, the classic Jungle Book cartoon has an advisory.
Here's what happened; The Headlander, The Green SlobGobler, and Amandlalala got together for a bit of triangular rugmunching one day, and then, post-coitus, Amandalulu said; "So.... now you owe me something....."
This is the earliest star wars, set before everything else. Still the tech is exactly the same as what we see in the Rey saga. Holograms still are blue and flicker. Planets are undeveloped but have buildings in the middle of nowhere with power. Star Wars is in a universe frozen in time. The ships are the same, the clothes are the same... The boredom is the same.
Lore question for Lorn that I didn't think of last night --- Master Sol told Mae to "take the wheel" meaning take over controlling their ship. I don't remember seeing or reading that in Star Wars before. Star Trek of course has a helm on their ships since Mr Sulu is the helmsman.
Guardrails - could these have been tells that it was filmed at a tourist cave somewhere? Like Cujo's Cavern ("Gap Cave") in Kentucky? (I doubt it was Kentucky.)
There *is* a reason why Smilo-Ren stole Osha away: he wanted an acolyte and Mae, that feckless traitorous so-and-so, just didn't cut it anymore. I grant it's difficult to see that reason by Smilo's actions. I don't even think Smilo develops this motivation until after the fight is completed, even though the logical point for him to have finally decided that Mae was a lost cause was just after she told him she's selling him out to the Jedi. Smilo had already seen that Mae was incapable and of nor value, hence no great loss to him, so there'd be nothing to restrain him from immediately protecting himself by killing her. Smilo letting Mae string him up in that tree was useless additional humiliation. I'm surprised she survived past that wide spot in the trail! But since he *does* let that happen, and lets her hide out in the Wookiee-hut besides, one presumes there's still a point to him keeping Mae alive ... but no, the next time they're together, right after his one-man Jedi-stomp, he makes a vigorous and flashy effort to destroy her quickly. So Smilo is just ... stupid? Mentally "slowed"? Nuts? Oh, lord, does Smilo Ren have *feelings* for *Mae* ?! Whatever ridiculous craziness the plot or the screenwriters imply by waiting so long, it certainly muddies Smilo's motivations here. Anyhow, I don't think he thinks about Osha as a new acolyte before Smilo's one-entrant Jedi-eating contest. There's no recruiting pitch delivered to Osha. He doesn't take it any easier on her than anyone else when they're fighting. It's almost as if his knowledge of her existence as both as a spare for Mae and as a Jedi lurked in the back of his head before the fight, then he was reminded of it by her performance during the fight, and finally his observations and background knowledge went "click!" as he passed her unconscious body on the trail. He then picked her up almost as an "impulse buy" at the local used-Jedi shop as a replacement for Mae. (Am I totally off-base here? I feel like I'm working harder than the writers when I try to decode the characters' motivations through the inconsistent action. I'm always afraid they're going spoil any conclusions I draw by ignoring historical background, or by contradicting their own story. Gaah!)
Pro has a problem with jumping in before someone is finished with their comment. But he does keep the conversation moving. On other channels there are sometimes empty spaces where no one is talking.
I thought when someone "cuts themselves off from the Force" it's more like not accessing and using the Force in any way. Culture Casino the shaved wookie 😂 Yas Jonas in a wookie costume talking like Morgan Freeman the entire time while Lorn reads the Acolyte subtitles in a dramatic fashion 😁😂 I also agree with Trent where they could've made the Sith Who Laughs ( SmiloRen) be like a horror movie where he's behind the scenes appearing on a shadow murdering Jedi and instilling fear in the Jedi order even have the helmet be something that's boh intimidating yet also mocking his enemies mostly the Jedi. I would've showed he just uses the force and his Cortosis gauntlets and helmet against the Jedi until he encounters a large group of Jedi like maybe a army of them then he uses what seemingly is just a red lightsaber then at some point it becomes a double blades lightsaber as well as the Cortosis gauntlets and helmet and the force then after he is seemingly killed or is actually killed you can have either the Jedi cover up he's a Sith or not realize he's a Sith.
I think most of us have started to ignore this load of shite. Soon you guys are going to realise that you need to loook for other interesting topics to focus on
Star Wars needs a total five year creative hiatus. Then, decanonize all Disney Star Wars (maybe keep some elements of Mandalorian), and recast the original characters with a new Star Wars run, perhaps adapting the EU stories.
There's no twitter complaints because no one is watching this show. The hundreds of activists and show crew still watching are surely a sign that S2 should be green lit.
Jonas you are over egging this. While this is close to infantile writing the motivation is clear. Sith wants to turn other twin to the dark side as he has lost the other sister, he is trying to seduce her, semi literally, to the dark side so he has a clear motive to taking her to the unnamed planet. While other sister is going to learn the dark side of the Jedi but make a connection with Sal on a personal level. Now all of this is Laughingly badly written and I am afraid acted, though possible not their fault. One undoubted problem is pacing with a feeling this is a four episode story dragged out to eight.
You act like you hate this show but you can't stop watching it! So hypocritical. Just stop and save yourselves and the time wasted. You watch all these podcasts over and over listening to other people's comments and replaying them here . No one is saying what they would do differently. What would you watch if the show wasn't on, try watching it the next two weeks!
I'm so with Lorne. Haven't watched a minute of this show. I just listen to the pain you guys are going through.
Interesting. We have reached a point where Disney and Star Wars are portraying homosexuality and nudity on screen and calling it "family programming."

Traditional Family values are problematic.
Anonymous gay butt sex is empowering and brave.
"Bring out the gimp."
"Gimp's sleeping."
"Well, you better go wake him up."
Not a single person on this show could pass the Voight-Kampff test.
This "sith" mask looks like an S&M Alien "play" mask
"Bring out the gimp." 😂😂😂
Here's what happened; The Headlander, The Green SlobGobler, and Amandlalala got together for a bit of triangular rugmunching one day, and then, post-coitus, Amandalulu said; "So.... now you owe me something....."
Drinker might call it a "magical bulls@&t helmet."
when she puts on the mask the eye slits look ridiculous .
Only if thay listen to the fans years ago .we tried to tell them. So sad

Looks like the Gimp from "Pulp Fiction".
We can hear the aperture in all your vacancies.
Sounds like the casting couch that Leslie massive foreheadland set up for Sith Lord Harvey W at a hotel room
Leslie is a good Acolyte for Harvey
Pro, those voices are hilarious
Lorn and Culture Casino?!?! ohhhhhhh snap!

Pro, after your radio gets going, maybe we could crowd fund your own sci-fi. Maybe a Flash Gordon remake.
LMMFAO 😂😂😂😂 Pro you might be correct about a non-human creating this. Maybe a baby A.I.
If you think this is bad just imagine haw thay are going to finish this shit. Pure writing ✍
I figured out why _The Acolyte_ is a mystery: the character motivations are a complete mystery!
I'm going to need y'all to reimburse me that intro time......woof......downright treasonous.
Pro has summed up Disney Star Wars - "Every episode is a different flavor of bad."
That scar on his back looks like WHIP!! Vernestra whipped him when he was a "Jedi." And when he says it was "A long time ago," how old is he?
Harder mommy😂
that wilton section was amazing
The modern audience. Where are thay.
And the old fans are sind off= 100% dun
Where are they gettting these intimacy coordinators? Adult video productions?
Trend Dark Wing Duck
Wilton with tired less filtered Jonas is glorious. If only Marvin got on a little earlier
This episode confused me...actually all the episodes confuse me and my forehad head is sore from face palming it. What in the hell did I watch?

I thought the episode was great. But I’m a bit confused as to why Qimir isn’t actively hunting down Sol instead of taking a bath.
Disney inspires one thing consistently…
Apathy.
Based off what im hearing I think every episode is worst than the last and it doesn’t get any better there is no such thing as “Worst episode”
Thought it was “ok”.
I am surprised at how much you Gentlemen were talking over each other. My Goodness!
Pro has a problem with jumping in before someone is finished with their comment. But he does keep the conversation moving. On other channels there are sometimes empty spaces where no one is talking.
For fraks sake...there is no **good** twin, there is only a bad twin and a *worse* twin.
Force unleashed would be my pick 🤷♀️ I love those games
Guys I am so glad I haven't watched a second of this show outside Drinker and Disparu's reviews. I feel your pain!
The first episode I acually liked.
I thought when someone "cuts themselves off from the Force" it's more like not accessing and using the Force in any way. Culture Casino the shaved wookie 😂 Yas Jonas in a wookie costume talking like Morgan Freeman the entire time while Lorn reads the Acolyte subtitles in a dramatic fashion 😁😂 I also agree with Trent where they could've made the Sith Who Laughs ( SmiloRen) be like a horror movie where he's behind the scenes appearing on a shadow murdering Jedi and instilling fear in the Jedi order even have the helmet be something that's boh intimidating yet also mocking his enemies mostly the Jedi.

The Crack-o-Lyte was "inspired" by trendy crap that had nothing to do with Star Wars, just like the plot, just like the marketing
If Star Wars is like Lord of the Rings, then Acolyte is like a weak D&D campaign by a DM who has only read the book cover summary to the Hobbit.
I prefer listening to you dude's then the big bag of suck that thay call star wars. There day's are dun😂

1:44:52 and after ROFL! Jonas!

WILTON!!!!

Darn Jonas Eddie is the greatest thing that ever happened to snl
I love Carmen San Diego
The only good thing from this episode was . There was a selkath in the background on corusant in a scene which was really cool to see in live action
Yes! worse episode…yet
So what were her thoughts when she saw the guy naked!?!
Smilo ren is probably Trans
You act like you hate this show but you can't stop watching it!
So hypocritical. Just stop and save yourselves and the time wasted. You watch all these podcasts over and over listening to other people's comments and replaying them here .
No one is saying what they would do differently.
What would you watch if the show wasn't on, try watching it the next two weeks!
This show is so bad lol. Without these people watching and reviewing, based on numbers nobody would be watching this show 😂
