This is a 180 million dollar therapy session for Leslie Headland. That’s what makes it so disrespectful. She’s willing to hurt millions of fans to make herself feel better. This is how disconnected Hollywood is from what it means to be human.
“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”- Orwell
Normal people read '1984' and find what's described in it horrifying, and its ending devastating. And rightly so, because it was written as a warning. Others see it as a manual of behaviour.
I thought it was a warning too until recently. Massive shifts, and even smaller steps, into tear - ran - he and de generator a-see are preceded by an announcement of some kind. Often in entertainment. Is it a geas? Or a more mundane smoothing of the way simply by introducing the idea, even if it’s in a negative light? I don’t know. But I find myself wondering more and more about this Orwell and his intentions
Fun fact: this video would have been an hour shorter if Platoon had simply said “oh-sha” instead of “Occupational Safety and Health Administration” each time.
I'm quite convinced the only reason squidgame is called Sol is because the writers couldnt come up with a name, asked where he's from, he said Seoul and they were like 'I've got a genius idea'
I haven't seen the show, but I have heard the name (aside from being called "Master Squidgame"), and, being Korean, I actually thought that that was the reason for it. Not even joking. I have so little regard for Disney Star Wars that I felt comfortable assuming that that was the truth.
It wouldn't surprise me, tbh. At first, I was tempted to think that all the silly names were deliberate jokes, what with Sol, and the OSHA, and the soap brand... But that would mean that they have some creativity and a sense of humour, and there's no further evidence to support that.
"What's your name?" "Lee-Jung Jae." "No, I mean what's your character's name?" "Wait, you call me all the way from Seoul and you didn't even think of the character's name yet!?" "Seoul, Seoul...okay, your character's name is Sol."
You hate The Acolyte because it's bad - and rightly so. I hate it because it has given Platoon an excuse to delay his review of DUNE. We're not the same.
Not checking in on the wookie for a year is even more ridiculous considering the show has established that you can warp back and forth across the galaxy in mere minutes.
huh, but that would defy the original purpose he was sent there for. That is getting rid of that stench. In this episode it was clearly established he can be smelled a miles away even when he was not present for a year. That must be really something. Probably the reason Darth Ezra has the mask, the only one prepared, since he is the only one that was there before.
I can't remember the exact quote, but it's along the lines of 'a good writer deliberately tells you about the characters, a bad writer accidentally tells you about themselves'
Kylo Ren has a black helmet because he's fetishising Vader. Vader has a black helmet because he HAS to to live. The Sith in The Acolyte has a black helmet because the muppets who made it think Sith have black helmets. Stupid muppets.

A Platoon takedown, even before viewing, is guaranteed to be infinitely more entertaining than a new multi-million Star Wars show. What a world we live in
@@deadpan_delivry7476 Same. We’re the “original audience” they deserve. I also love “The Room” and saw “Madame Web” on opening night. Like most Acolyte supporters, I watch these things alone.
I love how Platoon's "Acolyte" title cards become steadily more morose over time. From a tentative "The Beginning of the End?" to the deeply depressed, "I Wish I'd Never Been Born." And we're only halfway thru the series!
Where does he go from here? My vote is just start using track names from stages 4-6 of Everywhere at the End of Time. "A brutal bliss beyond this empty defeat" would make a fine finale 😂
"It's always an honor to witness something transform into the force" And suddenly the mystery of all the missing pets near the Jedi temple becomes clear.
Such a weird line--I can't tell if she meant that death=becoming the Force, or if she meant that Osha learning to sense things again is "transforming into the Force." Both answers are clunky.
@@billjacobs521A clunky reference to the prequels I think. Yoda councils Anakin on the nature of Death and tells him that those who die become one with the force and he shouldn't dwell on death being a bad thing. Kind of like how a religious person might put a positive spin on the death of a loved one becoming closer to their god. Unfortunately they wrote it more like this freak delights in the killing things to watch it happen.
I liked the scene where Henry Cavill and some Space Marines jumped out of a drop pod and showed those witches what the Emperor of mankind had to say about their coven.
Yeah because if The Witcher taught us something, it's that Henry Cavill being there, involved and fan of the source material means it will not be woke trash at all ! /s
@@Ron_Jambo_ I mean, Cavill tried his hardest to have the show as lore accurate as possible, he had no creative control though, so his efforts were futile.
LP I admire your dogged commitment to use the fully worded title of Occupational Safety and Heath Administration each and every time her name comes up, no matter how many times it does.
@@TheHalogen131 It's best when there is at least 4 different persons with... new names mentioned in a single sentence. And for me, it's never been annoying.
"I wish I'd never been born" "So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.”
Ki-Adi-Mundi being included in the Acolyte is yet another example of how the Lucas Story Group, the supposed "keepers of the canon", are nothing but a rubber stamp group that doesn't actually double check projects for potential canon errors and violations.
Is it the same in the EU? Was there a period of no Sith for a 1000 years the before the Phantom Menace? I really don't know the deep lore - just curious.
@@sharksbreath7 No Sith were known to the Jedi in that time period, though they did certainly exist all that time on the fringes of the galaxy. That's after the prequels came out; I wouldn't be surprised if something had been written pre-Phantom Menace about a Sith.
The retcon probably would’ve blown over too if Wookiepedia hadn’t made such a fuss. Instead they got caught red-handed by SWT, got salty, and put a huge spotlight on themselves and Disney. What a bunch of rats.
@@sharksbreath7 yes and no. The Sith did, indeed, exist.... but only because the Jedi believed them extinct. They kept themselves well hidden. Because a key, and i mean key, plot point of the entire prequel arc is that the Jedi have grown complacent after a millennium of no serious threats to their order. This ties directly into why they've become so complacent and hide bound, because they're an order that's basically been on autopilot for generations Which ties directly into why this is such a massive problem for Disney cannon. Because if this show remains canon, then the Jedi Council at the time of the prequels has first hand knowledge that these threat do, indeed, exist. One of it's members was there when it was uncovered... yeeeah, that's kind of a big problem, innit? but no, the writers of this show never considered that, they just lashed out at the 'nerds' they're trying to impress by including Mundi in the first place, thinking that somehow fixes this sudden massive continuity problem....
In fairness, if Ki-Adi-Mundi randomly rewrites canon on a whim, then perhaps he was actually correct when he said that the Sith had been extinct for a millennuim. And when he said Dooku was not a murderer. He's just operating on a different canon to everyone else. A canon in which the droid attack on the Wookiees is *never* overlooked.
@@morganseppy5180 He's cool but I had Star Wars theories 10 years before he was even born. Like, how did Obi-Wan just disappear? My theory is that he was a ghost the whole time. But no... Prequels ruined that idea!
Wait. Even *Palpatine* couldn’t just breach the force shields of multiple Jedi to toss them around. How can the writers think this nobody can do that? Oh, right. If you can’t google a character’s age, it’s probably asking a lot for them to know the canonical explanation for force user’s not constantly throwing each other into walls
To be fair Yoda did break palpatine force shield (which spook him so he tried to flee the duel) but that's Yoda, if one can break force shield like butter thought knife that's him.
@@itachiaurion3198 Correct. And it’s the response that matters. It was clear this was scary and unexpected. I’m also thinking of when Darth Maul did so with Padawan Obi-wan, or the vastly stronger Dooku did so to Obi-wan in Revenge of the Sith. These times help establish a character’s power. So when the episode has this happen so casually to so many Jedi at once, it feels like “this guy is stronger than Palpatine.”
Speaking of terrible adverts... Don't know how it is in the rest of the world, but in my country there are buses with Trinity as the main character plastered on the side. I sure hope nobody was watching for the chance to see Carrie Anne Moss in Star Wars for more than a few seconds.
And he's been so consistent with it. He's shown more attentiveness to being consistent with his joke name for Osha than the writers of this show have been for their characterization of most of their cast!
The editing on these videos is hilarious. Every single reaction clip from past movies and shows fits perfectly with every line from Platoon's script. I can't imagine how much effort this took.
I am his editor but with these videos we have very tight deadlines and share the work, I did the first 1 hour of this one which took me 4 days and many long hours 😅
Ah yes, annoyed boredom.A great method for redeeming a person from the alluring grip of the dark side. Luke should just have ran around the forests of Endor a few days with Vader chasing him and Vader would have been like "Fuck it! I hate hiking! Ok, you win Luke, lets go take out the Emperor, I am done being naughty boy."
I really like it when people with clear political agendas tell me I'm not allowed to talk about the space fantasy show. I'm sure their motives are completely pure.
An estimated 15 Million, actually, but yes- it was a triumph for far, far less than this cost... to be a failure. Most expensive TV show of all time, BTW.
Last episode’s “OSHA wanted to leave the coven because she’s fascinated by the Jedi even though everyone around her hates the Jedi” *could* make sense IF it was clear that the Space Sedai were using the Dark Side and OSHA, who is the embodiment of the Light Side, were naturally repulsed by that. But Mae suddenly switching her loyalty to OSHA from the Sith kind of undercuts that, because then it’s not about which side the twins are drawn to.
I saw it somewhere else, so I can’t take credit for it. 😂 But seriously, isn’t that “pull the thread and change everything” just a cheap version of the Aes Sedai pulling on the Loom with the One Power?
Saying "Ki-Adi Mundi doesn't know anything about the Sith because he hasn't encountered them before" is the equivalent of saying "No one today knows anything about the Nazis because that was back in the 30s and 40s."
There was a bit of an important statement in this episode, see 41:20. The Jedi were "stationed" on Space Witch Planet. Not deployed. Not sent to. Stationed. People who get stationed in places tend to have to stay there for longer periods of time, and maintain a presence for whatever purpose. So why did the Jedi decide to randomly station Jedi on an empty planet outside of jurisdiction? Did they do so to keep an eye on the witches? Was the goal to get the twins? Where were they supposed to live while stationed on the planet? How long were they supposed to be stationed there? It is easily explained as the writers using the wrong word, but the character is supposed to be in a leadership position of an at least somewhat militaristic order. She should know the correct terms...
Yeah, I’ve picked out that line in earlier videos - the problem is that, with writers like this, it really could just be sloppiness on their part. Or it could be really important to the setup.
I mean do we count buttons as a weapon? What if they opened a door to space and shot them out into it. Does the button count as a weapon. Does a crashing ship count as a weapon as long as its not being used with the purpose of crashing into them but ligit being shot down and using it to splat them anyways. There is a fair amount of things that could work. Its a shame the show tells us none of the rules.
At this point, I wish they'd just "Willow" this whole mess from existence. I know they'd never do it with that budget and a cast this diverse, stunning and stick-bundled, but one can dream.
I wish they'd un-Willow Willow because that was the funniest show on Disney+ yet! Willow just randomly owns a flamethrower in on episode, and then at the finale they all eat caterpillar cum with almost no convincing!
The funny thing about the whole Ki Adi Mundi bit is that they could've just owned up to the mistake, but they were so intent on being right they decided it was better to rewrite history to suit them. 14 years ago, in World of Warcraft, something kind of similar happened, where a character called Falstad was placed on the Dwarven Council in a book leading up to the expansion. But in the game, a different dwarf was in his place. A fan, famously known now as Red Shirt Guy, brought this up at a Q&A at Blizzcon, and you know what the writers said? "Really? We'll get that fixed." _And then they did._ And they added Red Shirt Guy as a Fact Checker NPC next to Falstad.
For me, the biggest problem I see is the writers having no sense that events in their story are happening off-screen, both on the larger and smaller time scale. For example, at the end of Episode 2, Mae learned that her sister is alive. After this revelation, she goes to kill Ezra Miller, but he stops her because he can give her information leading her to her next revenge target. So what she does is continue to flee the Jedi, including the group her sister was with, leaving the planet her sister was on. Then she travels however long to Kelnacca's planet. She takes the time to land on the planet, to unload materials from her ship, to pack a bag of supplies from the things she inexplicably carried off of her ship, and then starts wandering in the forest. While on the way, she continues talking about her plans to get revenge and to kill a Jedi without a weapon. It's only after ALL of this that she decides, "You know what, if my sister is alive, the thing I learned days or weeks ago, maybe I no longer need to get revenge." It's the writers not realizing that characters still exist when the camera isn't on them and having no idea what they're thinking or feeling. This is a problem on the large scale, as well, since what Mae did with her life between the flashback and the start of the first episode are never going to be properly filled in. For example, if Smilo-Ren turns out to be one of her mothers, why doesn't she know this? Why did her mother hide her identity from her own daughter, and then train her daughter to be an acolyte hunting down Jedi? Surely Mae needed help getting off the planet she was on to wherever she ended up, and if her mother was alive, surely her mother was the person who helped her. The root cause of this is, I believe, writers who only think scene to scene instead of looking at the events of the story. This is the scene, so here's the information they want to convey, but there's no framework for what the character is doing before and after the camera is pointed at them. You can have the inverse of this problem, which is when writers are only thinking of a narrative and not thinking about how to create scenes where information is efficiently relayed, so you end up with tedious scenes where only one thing is happening. In a tight script, plot and characterization happen together, and even if you slow down so characters can converse and relay expository information, there is subtext and character information coming in on top of the exposition. But this is entirely people thinking about what the next scene will be and where the story needs to go in that scene without thinking about the character as someone who exists and has motivations just before the scene starts. Mae is supposed to have thoughts about the Jedi, perhaps judgments of their ideology, but those suddenly turn on their head when she thinks she'll just surrender to Kelnacca and trust the Jedi even after she's murdered at least one of them. She's presumably close in age to the actress, so she's had two decades of ideas about what the Jedi are and what they stand for, but the writers don't know their own character enough to figure out what those conceptions are.
If the writers could anticipate the outcomes of their decisions and hold a complex linear narrative in their minds, they would not pass the political litmus test needed to work at Lucasfilm.
I would love to have seen a show where a janitor in the jedi temple strumbles in the middle of a conspiracy plot to corrupt the jedi order from within, where they have to work with some students to uncover it and save their masters who are getting picked off one by one by a former pupil with a twin currently training in the temple.
Plot twist. Green bean is actually Smylo. She or her mother were part of the coven and she would have trained both girls to take revenge but osha was a dropkick and mae would've been distracted to learn about her sister. Calling master squid game back was to provide enough time to deal with the wookie.
Please do remember to take time for yourself good sir. As much as I greatly appreciate and even go so far as to say love your work, your pace and subject material brings me cause for concern. I’d say keep up the good work, but now I am beginning to feel bad! Thanks again for everything you do. 😅❤
“Bad things there do not excuse bad things here, it’s not that complicated” - that’s a harder lesson to teach writers who chant “from the river to the sea” than it seems.
"Killing a Jedi without a weapon" doesn´t mean not using a weapon to kill. It means KILLING AN UNARMED JEDI! Top notch quality writing right there Leslie.
@@gakeon963 Maybe it only counts when the Jedi doesn´t have the LS on their person? Remember how Mae tried to snatch it away from Master Trinity and Master Squidgame? And Master Tommy, well, he might have had a saber under his robes... Again, briiiiiiiilliant writing.
This is what I keep saying too and no, the first two wouldn't count. It would need to be outright murder. We are talking Sith here so it seems to make sense that they mean kill a defeated Jedi. One that is entirely at your mercy. Though this could be giving the writers entirely too much credit.
"If he is indeed a powerful dark side user, then it is implausible he wasn't sensed." That's not consistent in Star Wars. Think of the literal hundreds of Jedi who were and would have been near Palpatine thousands of times over the years on Coruscant without noticing anything. Even if he was using some technique to cloak his presence, we don't have to assume that technique would belong solely to him.
I agree it’s inconsistent. You also get the Episode 3 line: “the dark side of the force surrounds the chancellor.” That’s a problem with the prequels - one of many. But it’s not an excuse.
It’s a problem for Star Wars, but it’s at least not a new one. This show does a fantastic job of creating problems that have never existed anywhere else, like the inability to recognize that time is passing differently in different parts of the plot.
It still blows my mind, that twin sisters who've been apart for years have matching haircuts. I mean..I have twin sisters but their identical ponytails are way less of a stretch than *complicated elaborate beaded dreds.*
When star wars canon goes in weird places I am down. I can tolerate inventing more. What is painful is unlearning canon I grew up with. I used to love star wars trivia competitions… now they depress me. The answer to who is Han Solo’s child is? Is Jacen, Jaina and Anakin and all three are students of Luke’s Jedi Academy.
@@Grizzly8505 Actually, no. He was alive as far back as the EU, which most still consider canon. BoB wasn't the best, but also not the worst show, and ultimately I'm rather glad it got made.
@@olafgurke4699 I didn’t know that, I generally consider canon to be the original 6 movies, the Disney plus shows (mando seasons 1 + 2) and most of the animated stuff (except stuff like visions). The EU isn’t as easily accessible as the stuff I just said, so I apologise for not having seen that. I do however think BoBF shouldn’t have been made, at least in the way it was, if it was more like his appearance in mandalorian where he was badass and fun to watch it would’ve been fine. But as it was it was boring and slow, not much happens and it’s not too enjoyable for me personally to watch.
I cant help but wonder. 50 years from now, when lucasfilms stocks are so low Apple buys them out... Will this all finally be decanonized, or will the fact that three entire generations of people who dont give a fuck about the franchise are now the primary consumers make it not worth it?
I love that platton makes content 3 times the length of the content his content is about, and it's infinitely better to watch. I always look forward to these!
In the show's defense for Temu Ezra being Smilo Reno, if Palpatine could have in-person meetings with Mace Windu and Yoda and not give away his true identity, I can buy Darth Teeth being able to fool this pack of idiots quite easily.
What if Mundi gets startled awake by Mace Windu tapping him on the shoulder with increasing aggression in the Jedi Council chamber. Then Anakin walks in with Obi Wan. “But the Sith have been extinct for over a millennia” cut to black,title card, Linkin Parks What I’ve Done plays, roll credits.
I’m leaving this vale of tears. For now, just Star Wars. But if this keeps up, I’m leaving all modern movies behind. PS. I’ll be the first in line to buy mugs and t-shirts with any of your pithy one-liners, of which there are too many to list. Keep up the outstanding work.
You know just off the cuff here's some neat trivia that Disney threw away along with the expanded universe. Since we used to be aware of all the parts that make up the lightsaber there was a obvious button to turn down the intensity on demand, so it gave you just minor to mid level burns, which thanks to bacta could be resolved in matter of minutes. So there was never any need to train with a fucking stick since every real lightsaber was also a training lightsaber which was helpful in training more effectively as you get used to your specific weapon instead of nondescript piece of wood that isn't even as wide a lightsaber.
I delighted in how Squid Game sounds slightly Welsh. One of the two modern defects we are allowed to collectively laugh at. Y'know, that and Gingerism.
I'm really liking all these Jedi. The first one was just drinking with the boys. The second was so serene he was literally detached from the world. And the wookie is hanging out naked in the woods. It seems like May's just been attacking people who are happily living their lives.
George R.R. Martin once commented on how do you handle fans guessing your plot twist. Do you leave it unchanged knowing it's already been figured out, or do you change it to something new that doesn't quite fit so you can have that moment of gloating over your fans that you pulled one over on them. Modern writers for TV shows have gone full bore into the later option, except they take it one step further. They know they can't write well enough to keep anyone from guessing their revels so they actively set up all the story beats and dialog to point to a blatant falsehood. Then they get to change everything in the last episode or two and crow about how they had all those dumb haters fooled.
Something very stupid and annoying happened to the VO track in this one so it may be choppy in places. I’m not entirely sure why, but it’s since fixed itself, so sod it.

I love how Platoon's "Acolyte" title cards become steadily more morose over time. From a tentative "The Beginning of the End?" to the deeply depressed, "I Wish I'd Never Been Born." And we're only halfway thru the series!
Where does he go from here? My vote is just start using track names from stages 4-6 of Everywhere at the End of Time.
"A brutal bliss beyond this empty defeat" would make a fine finale 😂
@thebeetalls I was thinking references to Dante's "Inferno", but I'm liking yours a lot. 😂
"It's always an honor to witness something transform into the force"
And suddenly the mystery of all the missing pets near the Jedi temple becomes clear.
Such a weird line--I can't tell if she meant that death=becoming the Force, or if she meant that Osha learning to sense things again is "transforming into the Force." Both answers are clunky.
Yes...that line makes Jeky, or whatever her name is, seem quite odd and more than a tad sinister.
She kills them, Jediabetes eats them.
That explains her collection of tiny shoes…
@@billjacobs521A clunky reference to the prequels I think.
Yoda councils Anakin on the nature of Death and tells him that those who die become one with the force and he shouldn't dwell on death being a bad thing.
Kind of like how a religious person might put a positive spin on the death of a loved one becoming closer to their god.
Unfortunately they wrote it more like this freak delights in the killing things to watch it happen.
I liked the scene where Henry Cavill and some Space Marines jumped out of a drop pod and showed those witches what the Emperor of mankind had to say about their coven.
Coven are genestealer cult confirmed

@@Allybob001that's my fave as well. 😂😂😂
Ki-Adi-Mundi being included in the Acolyte is yet another example of how the Lucas Story Group, the supposed "keepers of the canon", are nothing but a rubber stamp group that doesn't actually double check projects for potential canon errors and violations.
Their bonus pay less if they actually say no to anything 😂
Is it the same in the EU? Was there a period of no Sith for a 1000 years the before the Phantom Menace? I really don't know the deep lore - just curious.
@@sharksbreath7 No Sith were known to the Jedi in that time period, though they did certainly exist all that time on the fringes of the galaxy. That's after the prequels came out; I wouldn't be surprised if something had been written pre-Phantom Menace about a Sith.
The retcon probably would’ve blown over too if Wookiepedia hadn’t made such a fuss. Instead they got caught red-handed by SWT, got salty, and put a huge spotlight on themselves and Disney. What a bunch of rats.
@@sharksbreath7 yes and no. The Sith did, indeed, exist.... but only because the Jedi believed them extinct. They kept themselves well hidden.
Because a key, and i mean key, plot point of the entire prequel arc is that the Jedi have grown complacent after a millennium of no serious threats to their order. This ties directly into why they've become so complacent and hide bound, because they're an order that's basically been on autopilot for generations
Which ties directly into why this is such a massive problem for Disney cannon. Because if this show remains canon, then the Jedi Council at the time of the prequels has first hand knowledge that these threat do, indeed, exist. One of it's members was there when it was uncovered... yeeeah, that's kind of a big problem, innit?
but no, the writers of this show never considered that, they just lashed out at the 'nerds' they're trying to impress by including Mundi in the first place, thinking that somehow fixes this sudden massive continuity problem....
In fairness, if Ki-Adi-Mundi randomly rewrites canon on a whim, then perhaps he was actually correct when he said that the Sith had been extinct for a millennuim. And when he said Dooku was not a murderer. He's just operating on a different canon to everyone else. A canon in which the droid attack on the Wookiees is *never* overlooked.
Maybe he travels a lot at near light speed so he as aged relatively little. And maybe that's also what's wrong with his face.
@@-taz-star wars theory, is that you?
@@morganseppy5180 He's cool but I had Star Wars theories 10 years before he was even born. Like, how did Obi-Wan just disappear? My theory is that he was a ghost the whole time. But no... Prequels ruined that idea!
Disney corp fanfic does not get to rewrite the originals, stop trying to cover for their poor writing, give it up man.
It's just his stand, "Crazy Talk".
Whenever he says something he perceives as fact, reality immediately rewrites itself to make that statement false.
Wait. Even *Palpatine* couldn’t just breach the force shields of multiple Jedi to toss them around. How can the writers think this nobody can do that?
Oh, right. If you can’t google a character’s age, it’s probably asking a lot for them to know the canonical explanation for force user’s not constantly throwing each other into walls
To be fair Yoda did break palpatine force shield (which spook him so he tried to flee the duel) but that's Yoda, if one can break force shield like butter thought knife that's him.
@@itachiaurion3198 Correct. And it’s the response that matters. It was clear this was scary and unexpected. I’m also thinking of when Darth Maul did so with Padawan Obi-wan, or the vastly stronger Dooku did so to Obi-wan in Revenge of the Sith. These times help establish a character’s power. So when the episode has this happen so casually to so many Jedi at once, it feels like “this guy is stronger than Palpatine.”

Genius she is.
Ah yes, annoyed boredom.A great method for redeeming a person from the alluring grip of the dark side. Luke should just have ran around the forests of Endor a few days with Vader chasing him and Vader would have been like "Fuck it! I hate hiking!

So killing a jedi master earns you a...misdemeanor?

Dear Santa,
I have been a very good boy.
For Christmas (yes it's June but in MY HEART it's Christmas) I want a Little Platoon diss response rap.
I like to think discount Ezra's "what are you doing" was just his honest reaction to reading the script for that scene
I really like it when people with clear political agendas tell me I'm not allowed to talk about the space fantasy show. I'm sure their motives are completely pure.
Remember, guys, godzilla minus one was made for under 10 millions.
An estimated 15 Million, actually, but yes- it was a triumph for far, far less than this cost... to be a failure.

Last episode’s “OSHA wanted to leave the coven because she’s fascinated by the Jedi even though everyone around her hates the Jedi” *could* make sense IF it was clear that the Space Sedai were using the Dark Side and OSHA, who is the embodiment of the Light Side, were naturally repulsed by that. But Mae suddenly switching her loyalty to OSHA from the Sith kind of undercuts that, because then it’s not about which side the twins are drawn to.
They are both Force fluid 😂
😂😂😂 took me a minute to get the Space Sedai reference, but I'm definitely down for it!
I saw it somewhere else, so I can’t take credit for it. 😂 But seriously, isn’t that “pull the thread and change everything” just a cheap version of the Aes Sedai pulling on the Loom with the One Power?
well unfornely the writers of this show are not that intelligent to ger this point
@@samuelademeso9041Now that I think about it, did that one witch even mention the Dark/Light side of the “thread”?
Saying "Ki-Adi Mundi doesn't know anything about the Sith because he hasn't encountered them before" is the equivalent of saying "No one today knows anything about the Nazis because that was back in the 30s and 40s."
There was a bit of an important statement in this episode, see 41:20. The Jedi were "stationed" on Space Witch Planet. Not deployed. Not sent to. Stationed.
People who get stationed in places tend to have to stay there for longer periods of time, and maintain a presence for whatever purpose. So why did the Jedi decide to randomly station Jedi on an empty planet outside of jurisdiction? Did they do so to keep an eye on the witches? Was the goal to get the twins? Where were they supposed to live while stationed on the planet? How long were they supposed to be stationed there?
It is easily explained as the writers using the wrong word, but the character is supposed to be in a leadership position of an at least somewhat militaristic order. She should know the correct terms...
Yeah, I’ve picked out that line in earlier videos - the problem is that, with writers like this, it really could just be sloppiness on their part. Or it could be really important to the setup.
The only solution to the 'kill them without a weapon' problem I can see making sense is turning a jedi to the dark side.
That’s about the best possible outcome. However…
I mean do we count buttons as a weapon? What if they opened a door to space and shot them out into it. Does the button count as a weapon. Does a crashing ship count as a weapon as long as its not being used with the purpose of crashing into them but ligit being shot down and using it to splat them anyways.
There is a fair amount of things that could work. Its a shame the show tells us none of the rules.
Didnt the witches say the Forc- uh, the Thread isn't a weapon? Just use that
But that's figurative language. That's way too complex for Disney Star wars.
@@ikept_the_jethryk2421this feels like the more “logical” setup Disney would use, and I hate it
The titles of TLP's coverage of The Acolyte seem to indicate the downward spiral of his sanity... and the editor's too.

I wish they'd un-Willow Willow because that was the funniest show on Disney+ yet! Willow just randomly owns a flamethrower in on episode, and then at the finale they all eat caterpillar cum with almost no convincing!
@@dvm421the old english definition
Imagine the internet if this show got willowed
“Haven’t you heard of police brutality?! Aren’t you supposed to be black?!” I fucking lost it
The funny thing about the whole Ki Adi Mundi bit is that they could've just owned up to the mistake, but they were so intent on being right they decided it was better to rewrite history to suit them.
14 years ago, in World of Warcraft, something kind of similar happened, where a character called Falstad was placed on the Dwarven Council in a book leading up to the expansion. But in the game, a different dwarf was in his place. A fan, famously known now as Red Shirt Guy, brought this up at a Q&A at Blizzcon, and you know what the writers said? "Really? We'll get that fixed." _And then they did._ And they added Red Shirt Guy as a Fact Checker NPC next to Falstad.
For me, the biggest problem I see is the writers having no sense that events in their story are happening off-screen, both on the larger and smaller time scale. For example, at the end of Episode 2, Mae learned that her sister is alive.
After this revelation, she goes to kill Ezra Miller, but he stops her because he can give her information leading her to her next revenge target. So what she does is continue to flee the Jedi, including the group her sister was with, leaving the planet her sister was on. Then she travels however long to Kelnacca's planet. She takes the time to land on the planet, to unload materials from her ship, to pack a bag of supplies from the things she inexplicably carried off of her ship, and then starts wandering in the forest. While on the way, she continues talking about her plans to get revenge and to kill a Jedi without a weapon.
It's only after ALL of this that she decides, "You know what, if my sister is alive, the thing I learned days or weeks ago, maybe I no longer need to get revenge." It's the writers not realizing that characters still exist when the camera isn't on them and having no idea what they're thinking or feeling. This is a problem on the large scale, as well, since what Mae did with her life between the flashback and the start of the first episode are never going to be properly filled in. For example, if Smilo-Ren turns out to be one of her mothers, why doesn't she know this? Why did her mother hide her identity from her own daughter, and then train her daughter to be an acolyte hunting down Jedi? Surely Mae needed help getting off the planet she was on to wherever she ended up, and if her mother was alive, surely her mother was the person who helped her.
The root cause of this is, I believe, writers who only think scene to scene instead of looking at the events of the story. This is the scene, so here's the information they want to convey, but there's no framework for what the character is doing before and after the camera is pointed at them. You can have the inverse of this problem, which is when writers are only thinking of a narrative and not thinking about how to create scenes where information is efficiently relayed, so you end up with tedious scenes where only one thing is happening. In a tight script, plot and characterization happen together, and even if you slow down so characters can converse and relay expository information, there is subtext and character information coming in on top of the exposition.
But this is entirely people thinking about what the next scene will be and where the story needs to go in that scene without thinking about the character as someone who exists and has motivations just before the scene starts. Mae is supposed to have thoughts about the Jedi, perhaps judgments of their ideology, but those suddenly turn on their head when she thinks she'll just surrender to Kelnacca and trust the Jedi even after she's murdered at least one of them. She's presumably close in age to the actress, so she's had two decades of ideas about what the Jedi are and what they stand for, but the writers don't know their own character enough to figure out what those conceptions are.
Which is such a DnD campaign-like flaw, considering how in those games no charas are really offscreen, and time can only be linear
If the writers could anticipate the outcomes of their decisions and hold a complex linear narrative in their minds, they would not pass the political litmus test needed to work at Lucasfilm.

Does every convo need to be meaningful?
Does: " I need to take a leak." hold as much gravitas as "I'm sending mother to Shady Pines."?
I would love to have seen a show where a janitor in the jedi temple strumbles in the middle of a conspiracy plot to corrupt the jedi order from within, where they have to work with some students to uncover it and save their masters who are getting picked off one by one by a former pupil with a twin currently training in the temple.

Plot twist. Green bean is actually Smylo.

“Bad things there do not excuse bad things here, it’s not that complicated” - that’s a harder lesson to teach writers who chant “from the river to the sea” than it seems.
"Killing a Jedi without a weapon" doesn´t mean not using a weapon to kill. It means KILLING AN UNARMED JEDI! Top notch quality writing right there Leslie.
tbf killing an unarmed Jedi seems like a better idea than trying to kill jedi without using a weapon
So Master Tommen Barantheon? And the first master (forgot her name) turned her lightsaber off. So didn't she technically succeed already?
@@gakeon963 Maybe it only counts when the Jedi doesn´t have the LS on their person? Remember how Mae tried to snatch it away from Master Trinity and Master Squidgame? And Master Tommy, well, he might have had a saber under his robes... Again, briiiiiiiilliant writing.
This is what I keep saying too and no, the first two wouldn't count. It would need to be outright murder. We are talking Sith here so it seems to make sense that they mean kill a defeated Jedi. One that is entirely at your mercy.
Though this could be giving the writers entirely too much credit.

Watching this after the reveal that Smilo-Ren IS Temu Ezra makes hearing TLP’s constant hope that he isn’t even more hilarious.
That's just his uncle, Ki-Adi-Tuesdi.
"If he is indeed a powerful dark side user, then it is implausible he wasn't sensed."
That's not consistent in Star Wars. Think of the literal hundreds of Jedi who were and would have been near Palpatine thousands of times over the years on Coruscant without noticing anything. Even if he was using some technique to cloak his presence, we don't have to assume that technique would belong solely to him.
I agree it’s inconsistent. You also get the Episode 3 line: “the dark side of the force surrounds the chancellor.” That’s a problem with the prequels - one of many. But it’s not an excuse.
It’s a problem for Star Wars, but it’s at least not a new one. This show does a fantastic job of creating problems that have never existed anywhere else, like the inability to recognize that time is passing differently in different parts of the plot.
And their vision through the Force was almost entirely blocked that whole time.
Give them some slack, how the hell would they know which thread to pull on out of the many...? 😁
They’re going to make Ki-Adi-Mundi the head of the cover up team, aren’t they?
46:45 The characters acting out Platoon's script is so well done here. They even look like they are saying the words at points. Nice work editor!

I do however think BoBF shouldn’t have been made, at least in the way it was, if it was more like his appearance in mandalorian where he was badass and fun to watch it would’ve been fine. But as it was it was boring and slow, not much happens and it’s not too enjoyable for me personally to watch.
I wonder if they confuse *canon* with *cannon*. One being a large expensive thing that causes great damage, and the other being a type of artillery.
I cant help but wonder. 50 years from now, when lucasfilms stocks are so low Apple buys them out... Will this all finally be decanonized, or will the fact that three entire generations of people who dont give a fuck about the franchise are now the primary consumers make it not worth it?

In the show's defense for Temu Ezra being Smilo Reno, if Palpatine could have in-person meetings with Mace Windu and Yoda and not give away his true identity, I can buy Darth Teeth being able to fool this pack of idiots quite easily.

You know just off the cuff here's some neat trivia that Disney threw away along with the expanded universe. Since we used to be aware of all the parts that make up the lightsaber there was a obvious button to turn down the intensity on demand, so it gave you just minor to mid level burns, which thanks to bacta could be resolved in matter of minutes. So there was never any need to train with a fucking stick since every real lightsaber was also a training lightsaber which was helpful in training more effectively as you get used to your specific weapon instead of nondescript piece of wood that isn't even as wide a lightsaber.
I delighted in how Squid Game sounds slightly Welsh. One of the two modern defects we are allowed to collectively laugh at. Y'know, that and Gingerism.

You speak for all of us Brits when you reference “The French” 👏🏻😂🇬🇧
George R.R. Martin once commented on how do you handle fans guessing your plot twist. Do you leave it unchanged knowing it's already been figured out, or do you change it to something new that doesn't quite fit so you can have that moment of gloating over your fans that you pulled one over on them. Modern writers for TV shows have gone full bore into the later option, except they take it one step further. They know they can't write well enough to keep anyone from guessing their revels so they actively set up all the story beats and dialog to point to a blatant falsehood. Then they get to change everything in the last episode or two and crow about how they had all those dumb haters fooled.
Man you did a superb job with the editing. The scenes and actions and tone of the imagery work so well with your script. Haha 👏🏻
