“Mundi kinda forgot that he knew about the Sith before the Phantom Menace but the Sith certainly haven’t forgotten about him.”
Like, they ruin characters like bail and luke aunt but they somehow ruin an dead character too? "Somehow he forget" I can't wait to see the defenses
Nobody is safe, even background characters with almost no lines.
Mundi is a secret sith himself. He even faked his own birth to appear 40 years younger - and everybody on the council fell for it!
Palpatine set his Mygeeto demise up personally offscreen. “This is for my grandmama”
Mundi😂! Mundi is word for a persons head in india
"What about the offscreen attack on the Wookie?"
He’s right. It’s a system we can’t afford to show.
:))) this needs to be top comment
The reason why Smilo Ren could force push all those Jedi was because Smilo Ren was all the Sith, but they were not all the Jedi. See? Logic. Wahbam!
You pay attention, I think your saying this is a continuation of what the emperor described to rey in last jedi, about dead sith manifesting in force power within someone and how its strictly a sith oriented power. Its not an awful concept tbh, too bad they can't write themselves out of a pencil box?
@@3qtipkillaExcept that Darth Plagueis is still a thing.
@Lobsterwithinternet "except that Darth Plagueis is stil a thing"
For now, son. For now....
Touche 😂
@Lobsterwithinternet this IS Plagueis! I'm calling it now. "Oh but Plagueis is a Mun" not in Disney canon yet!
I was not expecting to add "Character assasinating Mundi" to my bingo list, but hey, here we are.
A surprise to be sure but a most unwelcome one.
Is it character assassination? Because they didn't make him act in a way contradictory to how he was established. They had him exist in a place that was impossible. It's so much more dumb of a blunder than what we typically see when describing something as "character assassination." The incompetence on this one is honestly hilarious to me.
It's the Free Space.
@@bongwaterbojack I´d argue that him being an accomplice in the whole "hiddin info" from the council because "it would look bad" is kinda damming for his character. I do agree that him being there before he was alive is hilarous, tho.
@@That_One_Guy-. Yeah, that's a fair point. Maybe they'll show him bumping his head on a blast door and say he got amnesia.
What's crazy is that the internet firestorm has basically peaked. We have accusations of death threats, disstracks from the actors, ists and phobes are flying around everywhere...and we're only halfway through the show lol
This is going to get so spicy when its revealed that the Jedi intentionally covered up the return of the sith.
this, the people not realizing the goal is to have the Jedi massacre "innocent" "unarmed" women is gonna hit bigly
@@RestrictedAudiencesOnly that’s when the whole cast makes a whole album of diss tracks against the critics. I’m calling it now
Peaked? You fool, this isn't even my final form.
I'm pretty sure someone talked Amandla (?) into making that weeeeeird "music" video, kind of a leap off the cliff you would kind of consider a lot more if close people don't tell you it's what needs to be done. Also "in only 72h", MCs worldwide are laughing at that, and some of that time definitely went into breeding this masterplan first.
You merely adopted the peak, I was born in it....molded by it.
“Oh come on, do you REALLY care that much about a character who got two seconds of screen time in TPM???”
Someone did. Someone making this show thought it necessary to make Ki-Adi-Mundi 40 years older and include him in these events, when they could have had another original character standing there, with no difference made since Mundi doesn’t say anything any other original character couldn’t have said.
But come on. The one character who explicitly said the Sith hadn’t been seen for a millenium? Out of ALL the characters you could have picked, you chose THAT one to be the one standing around during the events of 100 years prior when a not-Sith was killing Jedi?
Nah, they knew exactly what they were doing. I’m not gonna be gaslit into thinking this doesn’t matter when clearly they had to go out of their way to make this happen, so butchering his character clearly mattered to someone.
Its even worse when they revealed that they wanted use yoda originally
I’d argue even more than 40 years, since this occurred 40 years before he was born, but here he is already aged… unless of course that’s how a literal baby looks like for their species
Turns out, fans care about established lore.
The thing is, I could care less about ki adi mundi being alive at this time, because his birth date is based on material that disney has already decanonized, but man is it absolute dumbassery to have him be the one to deliver the line of the sith, even if the jedi order come to the conclusion that this darkside force user was definitely not sith, you cannot make me believe a dude who witnessed the events of a "splinter order" would be this skeptical to a dark side force threat, especially when according to a qui-gon, a master jedi, it was a definitely a sith in
Agreed. Also, it's just part of the whole "making Jedi evil" thing. And trying to "solve" the lore breaking of Mundis line in The Phantom Menace. Essentially, "see, we didn't break canon! Mundi was just lying in TPM as part of the Jedi cover up!".
It’s kind of funny that slashes from lightsabers kill people, but not stab wounds
Nah, it was actually the fumes of the wookie's incinerated chest hairs that did him in. There must've been about a decade's worth of spilled meals in there if the tracker managed to find him from a year-old piece of cloth.
@@wishuponamonkeyspaw2458 You know, an easier explanation for the tracker would have been "Kalnaca is probably the only wookie on this planet, he's visitied this village recently, and they have a strong, distinct smell." rather than them just having a rag on standby.
I know it's never really explained, but wouldn't a lightsaber boil your blood the moment you get stabbed with it? Like it's so hot it would just melt your insides, not leave a nice hole with nothing flowing out
Unfortunately the poor wookie wasn't wearing his plot armor.
@@ZeSgtSchultz No, they don't emit heat. They only incinerate whatever touches the blade. Otherwise you couldn't even hold them, they would boil the flesh off your bones just by igniting it.
I will comment this now, If the fake smile-o Ren happen to be one of the mother and she utter "I am your mother" like vader did, there will be CHAOS
but... she will have Vadered...
This might be best case scenario then 😂 I say make it as returd-ed as possible
Oh god, now that you say it i bet they did that.
That's absurd ... so very possible.
I don't think that will happen. They cannot have a female villain. But maybe I'll be proven wrong. I'm curious to see how cringe it becomes.
I can’t fucking believe Leslye Headland made it so that Reva doesn’t have the most unbelievable 180 in Star Wars
Top Picks for the Identity of Smilo Ren:
1. Jedi Master Trinity (she obviously faked her death)
2. Master Sol's evil twin brother
3. Teenage Chewbacca
4. Yoda on Stilts (trolling everyone)
5. Time travelling Darth Maul
6. Agatha Harkness
7. John Kramer
I love this list.
8. Kirby.
9. Evil Anakin from the World Between Worlds.
I'm retracting all of my criticisms if it's Yoda on stilts.
10. Grogu in another mech suit
I can't believe the action centerpiece got cut to focus on unloading the ship extremely inefficiently
Don’t forget about also temporarily abandoning pursuit of that dangerous fugitive so Master Squidgame’s padawan could attend Lightsaber Choreography 101.
The sink is in the intro because someone didn't understand that "kitchen sink" is just an idiom.
oh god, I laughed for a second, but then I realized that you might be right. We are living in "Idiocracy"
Unironically yes, look up Revenge of the Sith kitchen sink.
No, you're an idiom.
The sink: legend says that during the making of ROTS' opening space battle, the artists were told to throw everything into it, "everything except the kitchen sink". The story goes that they disobeyed these orders and actually *did* throw in a kitchen sink: at the very start when Obi-Wan and Anakin's fighters are flying through the battle in the one-take, there is this one bit where one of the republic ships shoots a big blue laser from its hangar. the debris that is ejected from the explosion and that the camera briefly follows is supposed to be this legendary sink.
Is that true, or did you write it on Wookipedia?
No, no. He's right. I watched that commentary too.
I am choosing to believe this is true. If its wrong dont tell me.
Why does it have steam whistles??
@rogerborg Its 100% true. Rick McCullum confirmed it in the dvd commentary. I remember being 16 years old when the movie came out and watching the flick with commentary and being absolutely flabbergasted.
Why does random Ryan know so much more about star wars lore than the people writing the stories. I love how he overnerds, very interesting to listen.
Ryan is more knowledgeable on Star Wars than literally anyone I have ever ran across. He is so knowledgeable it makes Star Wars Theory look like a brand new fan. (I love Theory, but I'm js)
The only person I have ever met who potentially knows more than Ryan was this waiter at Applebee's who was my waiter for my 10th birthday party. He had a nokia phone with a star wars ringtone and told my friend and I there were many ranks above Jedi Master.
Thats probably not canon anymore tho
Because the people writing this doesnt care. They are just making marxist propaganda.
@@Joe-rq9tdI recall there being two ranks above Master.
Master of the Council (Windu)
Grandmaster (Yoda).
They're equivalent in rank, Windu is the logistical leader of the Jedi (CEO), Yoda is the spiritual leader (Chairman).
Not all Masters sit in the Council e.g., Qui-Gon, so Council members might be Master+ or something 😂
Smilo Ren gliding behind her felt like what you'd see in video games behind the scenes when a character that's not in the frame during a cutscene gets moved around in preparation for the next shot. And since characters tend to appear out of nowhere or get frozen in place when they're not in the frame in current day SW, I'd say this fits well with this whole video game vibe they got going, except it's like we weren't meant to see that lol.
Halo bts type moment
I see it all as extremely tropey horror shit. They have to have a list of sticky notes somewhere that says "things that happen in horrors" and I guarantee these were on it:
-Bad guy floats down behind the team
-Someone accidentally wakes up a dangerous creature
-Jump scares
It's kind of sickening to see the writer say that they cut the wookie fight because of the budget after seeing them waste so much money and time on sweeping shots of CGI forest, the CGI tracker alien, the CGI tree bug, and all of the other frivolous things they waste time and money on in the other episodes. $180 million btw
I’m rewatching an EFAP highlights video. In it, MauLer talks about the bad guy turning good. When the cohosts speculate on reasons, MauLer insists that she doesn’t need a reason for “bad guy good.”
*Either MauLer is a prophet, or these authors are laughably predictable.*
OMG that rings bells! Either that or I can just easily hear Mauler saying that in my head…
Either way, course he fuckin did 😂
The answer is yes.
Mauler has the power of the spiders on his side.
She's a female & a person of colour. What on earth made you think she would stay the bad guy or be defeated or in any way be held responsible for her actions of directly endangering innocent people & murdering people? It's like you haven't been paying attention to Disney priorities.
Commenter! Commenter! Could you tell the audience which highlight it was? I would like to revisit this myself. Thank you.
Leslye Headland: We have Trinity and a Wookie Jedi!
Also Leslye Headland: Oh, but they die after 2 minutes
She’s single-handedly made the argument to outlaw lesbians from being in any position of any authority, even as lowly as unlocking public toilets, due to the sheer magnitude of incompetence they embody.
Where's the money, Lesbian Headlamp?
180 million, where did it go? These people are not even cool enough to have a crippling cocaine addiction.
So where is the money, Lesbian?
Bob Iger should be asking this while Kathleen Kennedy watches, as goons go to work on Lesbian's kneecaps.
But we all know why Lesbian Headlamp is protected, why Kathleen Kennedy is protected.
Lesbian Headlampo was Harvey Weinstein's personal assistant. She scheduled his meetings, booked his hotel rooms, handled his private communications with VIPS and assignations with, uh, people. She was as connected to the dirt going on as any studio exec.
Being that close to criminality yet you walk unscathed? She turned on dear old Harv and bought this future.
And she is failing, hard
Mae’s heel turn was so abrupt and makes no sense.
She’s responsible for the death of two Jedi, even if she turns herself in, they are going to send her to prison.
Also, her doing it for her Osha, makes no sense either. “My loyalty is to my sister.” She tried to burn her sister alive, and the last moment she talked to her, Mae was seemingly blaming her for what happened to the other witches. She should not have any loyalty to Osha.
and their last interaction involved Osha shooting at her, don't forget about that little gem
Ah yes: Khofar. The extremely dangerous and relaxing forest retreat.
I'm thinking the writer confused the term forest reserve, and wrote retreat instead, lol.
Ah yes, the episode in which Ki-Adi-Mundi is character assassinated for colluding with a small group of Jedi Masters to conceal extremely important information from Yoda's Council and feign ignorance on the matter when Qui-Gon brings up the threat of the Sith's return to the Council. Why? Because this is who nu-LucasFilm have left now for the purpose of character assassination. They are running out of legacy characters for that.
Chef's kiss for this comment.
Couldn't have summed it up myself.
No character in Star Wars is safe
The worst part is that he didn't even care about the attack on the wookiee. 😭
@@lukew6725 :D
I thought by this point that I was completely apathetic to Star Wars, but watching this coverage of Acolyte has surfaced a surprising amount of frustration and sorrow for this once beloved franchise.
Same...I'm finding a lot of this interesting for other reasons than that it is a comedy masterpiece as well. Watching all these reviews of it, I learn way more about Star Wars lore than I have ever known due to real fans correcting so much that they have made up.
ALL ideologies of this class of people revolve around deception, and being parasitic of something that someone else created. Every aspect of their ethics, morality, and souls trends to evil. Shockingly they were honest enough in interviews to have someone say that Harvey Weinstein's personal assistant, Leslie Headland was a "Sith".
NOTE: Post will be auto-deleted like all of mine are because "not woke". Only you might see it in your notifications.
They need the sink in the opening because it's attached to the drain that Star Wars is circling.
I was so pleasantly surprised when Inside Out 2 turned out to be about regular friendship issues and peer pressure. They got a cool older girl with colored hair who's good at the stuff main girl is into, and _didn't_ immediately make it a weird sex thing.
Thx for that. Proper friendship plots are worth their weight in gold these days
5 bucks says they are gay for each other in Inside Out 3
I wager 400 Republic Schlurpos that E5 will be another flashback episode, while real time is frozen, because all they know is teasing what they _won't_ deliver.
That's a lot of shlurpos to wage! What are you a shlurpionaire?
You know how many Plumbus' i could buy with 400 Schlurpos?! You madman!
I have trouble even imagining the ways this show can get even worse, but worse it will get - I am absolutely confident about that.
And we thought that Anakin's turn was too quick😭😭 what the fuck is this writing
That quick Anakin turn is a modern myth.
@@mala6238 Nah...it's like 5 minutes after he kills Windu in a moment of panic & fear while he's worries about Padme dying that he kills children. Don't get me wrong the quality of the writing was significantly better than anything Disney has produced but making Anakin kill innocent Jedi children so soon after he turns to the dark side is ridiculous at least "FROM MY POINT OF VIEW..."
@@josephkerrigan733 EP2 too
@@mala6238the prequels were rightly criticised, they are not good films
@@mala6238 Yeah the prequels were indeed bad films. Anakin killing children isn't something that should be done 5 minutes after being pretty much a good guy with anger issues who loves his wife.
I loved Ryan's epic rant at the end, but Filoni hasn't been ruining Star Wars for 12 years, he's been ruining it for 16 years. TCW was the beginning of the end of ever having coherent continuity in Star Wars. So many of Filoni's worst writing quirks are present in that show, most notably the complete disregard for established canon.
I am amused by the apothecary guy having to explain the planet Khofar as "a relaxing forest retreat" like he's announcing the Wheel of Fortune getaway prize. You would just say it's "Outer Rim", and maybe mention "forest-type". But the extra adjectives are so meta, like "It's not like Endor's moon, though, Mae, in case you were wondering. This one is a developed forest world. It's different, we swear."
*Then, he redefines the planet as so spooky, "some bounty hunters won't come here"?? Is this a relaxing forest retreat, or a lawless wilderness, SIR?
Spoiler alert! Lord of Edge, Smilo Ren is actually......
The same actress revealed in Solo a Star Wars Borie and Captain Falcon and the Winterman.
Third time's the charm.
Fourth time, she was in Willow. Her first scene was with a fencing mask.
@@Сайтамен oh wow, I didn't know that one. She must have a very very specific clause in her contract.
"Our client required at least one face reveal per project and her character must bring down some sort of system of oppression" lolol.
Unironically that would be hilarious.
Also, between Phantom Menace and Clone Wars, Ki-Adi-Mundi used the World Between Worlds to travel back to this time. He'll return to Clone Wars after this show is finished. That way "the Sith have been extinct" still fits since he didn't know better. Plot hole fixed! lol
I love the retcon- I mean the world between worlds, it makes everything I write make sense!
How do the masters on the council, especially Yoda, not know that 2 masters have been murdered? The show is trying to paint this as the biggest thing to happen to the Jedi in centuries, yet Yoda is completely unaware. I hate this show so much.
You're right. Even in Disney shows like The Clone Wars, Palpatine is very much keeping tabs on the dark side wielders adjacent to him. And yes, that's _Palpatine_ and he is very powerful indeed, like a spider sat in the middle of it's web. The example I am referring to, demonstrates Palpatine sensing the rise in Asajj Ventress's power from Coruscant, while she was fighting over Bothawui. Keep in mind that this is totally canonical. Palpatine is sat on Coruscant, and can feel Ventress getting a bit stronger.
That is obviously a concern to Palpatine because he doesn't trust Dooku and thinks that if Ventress gets strong enough, Dooku and Ventress _combined_ might bring him down. Pretty basic stuff and entirely logical, according to the Sith. Palpatine immediately ordered Dooku to execute Ventress, having the rest of her fleet open fire on her even as Obi-Wan and Anakin seemed to be in the process of capturing her (Dooku, reluctantly ordering the rest of her fleet over Bothawui, to open fire on the ship Ventress had landed in, before retreating from the lost battle) Dooku didn't really want to execute her, but Palpatine pulled rank on him and used the excuse of her defeat.
The moment Darth Maul and Savage Oppress became slightly too big for their boots on Mandalore, Palpatine cracked his knuckles and went in to personally kick their backsides himself, for becoming a rival to the true Rule of Two (himself and Dooku/Tyranus, at that time) It's quite possible that Dooku had no idea that Palpatine had done this, come to think of it. After all, Dooku could have been sent to Mandalore instead, being stronger than Maul and easily able to slay Savage. But because TCW nerfed Dooku to insane levels, with wildly inconsistent portrayals (sometimes somewhat badass, sometimes quite pathetic), that didn't happen. Palpatine just handled it himself. I guess the Senate wasn't busy that day (in more ways than one) It was really Palpatine breaking lose and enjoying himself, one might say.
If Palpatine can do that, why not Yoda? Well, 'the Shroud of the Dark Side' had fallen, and in Episode II Windu mentions how the Jedi had to tell the Senate that their 'ability to use the Force had been diminished'. It's an often forgotten and maybe throwaway line in Episode II, but it is absolutely part of the canon as one of the main, episodic films in the Skywalker Saga. Now, sure, the Sith are essentially obfuscating and spoiling the clarity of how the Jedi can use the Force to understand things. That is what is implied. But Jedi can still, you know, sense each other - whether on-world or even if they are many planets away. Yoda senses Anakin's pain from Coruscant, while Anakin is on Tatooine. That's some range. And yes that's _Yoda_ aka the Grand Master of the Jedi Order himself. All the same, many Jedi could attune themselves to such long range sensory ability, if you think about it. Why not Windu, or Dooku before he turned to the Sith (and he'd definitely be able to afterwards, as a Sith Lord)
There are such skills as masking your Force signature (in the old lore, Dooku and Obi-Wan Kenobi do that a lot, respectively, during the Clone Wars) Palpatine is clearly the most terrifying at that ability, because he can casually sit in a room with the strongest and 'wisest' of the Jedi Masters in the entire galaxy, and work as a Senator and then the Supreme Chancellor in the Senate around them all the time for decades (13 years as Supreme Chancellor, and many years before that as Senator for Naboo) These are skills that exist for reasons in Star Wars, and in Palpatine's case, obviously his specific reasons for doing that were horrifying, because of what he really is. Disney kind of forgot, though.
Fans: Cool there is going to be a Jedi wookie and Trinity from the Matrix in a Star Wars show!
Disney: Hmmm. Yea. It’s going to be great.
Wow I cant believe the Acolyte de-canonized women in Star Wars
I love how they have to be explicitly stopped from chasing Mey to strategize, only for strategizer in charge to decide they need to keep chasing Mey. It reminds me of that movie that RLM reviewed, when Leo Fong had stopped chasing a criminal scum to go to a bar to ask where that criminal scum was, only to be told that he was where he was.
I mean they can teleport so it’s not like they’re losing ground by doing that
"showdown" if i recall
If there was a gruff old man detective Jedi who constantly failed to properly park his speeder and just lived a lifestyle of trashy sloth, but still kicked ass and took names at the end of the day- Call him Master Feo Long or something... I would watch his show 800 times before watching a single un-commentated episode of The Acolyte.

So... Ki-adi Mundi is on this, despite not being born yet, but Yoda is not here, despite him being a Jedi Master at this time. It's like Disney can't help but mess with their own timeline.
At least this show doesn't ruin Yoda. If he was in this show, he'd have to be as dumb as the other Acolyte characters.
@@dragonknightleader1 Well, yeah, I'd prefer they just not show the Jedi Temple at all... It doesn't make sense they do anyway since there is a ticking clock here. It's just telling Disney thought: "Oh! Ki-adi Mundi!"
They couldn't fit in a fight scene for a budget reason on a $180 MILLION BUDGET???
But oh that 27 minutes of boring exposition was preferable 🙄😮💨
This is the story, they’re just wasting money and not caring how it’s spent.
So the wookie's cut "fight scene" is further proof to me that the whole Disney Star Wars fiasco is straight money-laundering. The CGI is in-house, the easter-egg- references are always without thought and embarrassing, the continuity is ignored, the writing is always poor, the productions are always rushed and the politics act as a way to shield their failures from critique. Pretending to spend money while purposefully hiring awful teams to produce mediocre irreverent contents. They bait with derisively shallow "themes" while dangling fan-favorites as a way to shut the fandom up. They don't care and they don't care that we no longer care. As long as their scheme keeps failing upwards than they are raking in the green.
I think the sink is an easter egg joke by some jaded CGI artist to symbolize Star Wars continuously sinking to new depths
Brandon Sanderson has a lecture where he talks about being aware of the promises your story is making (and all the implications of that implicit promise regarding both how you write your story and how the reader views it, and what it means to break that promise). It's very interesting. It's on TH-cam. For free. Maybe someone at Disney should watch it. Hell, they could watch the entire lecture series while they're at it, they might learn to suck a little less.
That sounds like hard work though. Disney producers and directors don't want to do that.
Mundi showing up earlier than he was alive? "Boy I sure hope someone got fired for that blunder."
Or alternatively
Acolyte Releases "Boy I sure hope everyone got fired for that blunder."
Someone got promoted for that and you know it
Maybe that stupid chainmail is made of Beskar 😂
My first thought is that sounds really silly, but we're post Filoni Star wars now, everyone probably has Beskar underpants by now.

The sink is there because they’ve thrown everything and kitchen sink at you, and they just want to make sure to give the kitchen sink proper credit
No no no, this is a common misconception; This is Ki Adi Mundi the first, the one in the prequels is his grandson, Ki Adi Mundi the third.
This is the easy and logical way to fix the problem
For his species, Ki Adi Mundi is like John Smith; a somewhat common name
Ki Adi Thirdi
@@СайтаменKi-Adi 3D
This can only make sense if nu-LucasFilm resurrect some Legends/Expanded Universe lore, which says the Jedi Order carved out an exception to the "no marriage" rule for male Cereans due to their naturally low male birthrate. Ki-Adi-Mundi in the EU has multiple wives. The new canon wiped off this exception so as much sense this would make to fix the timeline issue, only LucasFilm's stubbornness to avoid paying EU authors royalties stands in the way.
Apparently everyone in the universe outside of Luke and Obi Wan can understand Binary.
So, that 'sink' is the robotic gizmo that Kenobi used in Kenobi's first episode to clock out of his job.
But that's no fun, so a sink it shall remain.
Why would they put a clock-in/clock-out mechanism in the opening reel? Of all the things?

That's the Sink Between Worlds. It's where Anakin washes off the dark side after he Vaders.

Only Mauler and Fringy have editing credits. You can look in the description that's where the credits usually are.

I love that MauLer not only knew exactly what scene Fringy was referring to, he has the inflection of the quote down pat too.

The Shlurpolite, Episode 4
Bad Shlurpo continues her journey to get revenge on the Jedi by killing Grand Master Porkins of the famous Porkins dynasty. However, he has already died of diabetes by the time she gets there. Now, after finding out Good Shlurpo is alive, for some reason, she decides to stop killing people and become Good Shlurpo 2, rebelling against her master.
Meanwhile, the Jedi discuss how they are going to go after Bad Shlurpo. They consult Blotto, the ancestor of Watto, since he is used to junk and the script is about as knackered as crashed speeder driven into a wall. They realise that Poggle the Lesser was the mastermind behind all of this and has been controlling all the events, although this will all be forgotten by the time of the Prequels for some reason.
Next time, I am hoping for another interpretive dance number.
The power of one, the power of two, the power of Shlurpo!
The first TV episode in history to get a Schlurpillion views.
Amandla released the dance number separately.
So Ki-Adi-Mundi who isn't born yet is in the show, but not Yoda...
“wasn’t tech avail”
So either they couldn’t afford the CGI, OR someone refused to allow Yoda in it.
Either way!! This is the story you get because of THAT bullshit… holy fuck they might as well have a Pepsi Cola decorated side quest at this point…
You’re not seeing what you’re seeing because ANYONE had an actual story to tell, just some loosely cobbled together moments and images.
Wankers.
I realize that team Rocket make more logical in times. If they get blasted away and show back up in the episode it takes time before we see them again. They don’t instantly teleport back to the place
Keep in mind that they originally wanted to use Yoda but they weren't allowed
Even the Force Unleashed game, which is an insane power fantasy, understood that you would have different outfits for the vastly different planets/ecosystems found throughout the galaxy.
"That was actually a waste of time, I don't even know if you need to bother puttin' this one out"
HOLY SHIT 💀💀💀🤣🤣🤣
"That'll be relevant later"
-Fringy giving the writers WAY too much credit
On a point limited to just Star Wars: Why does every live action show feel the need to have potentially Galaxy altering stakes (even when we know it won't do so due to its placement)? The only one that earned it was Andor because it was about the early days of the Rebel Alliance. All a show in this timeframe and this focus needed to do was base itself around a Jedi Knight or a Master and their Padawan doing what would be considered the more dangerous side of regular Jedi missions of this era. Maybe take the idea Rags had in the show's first episode or do some other 'X genre in Star Wars' idea. Alternatively if you want to keep the barebones idea of the show as it is, remove the Sith and have Mae fill an Aurra Sing role as a former Padawan who went through hell in her training, fell out of the Order with her Master thinking her to be dead (for understandable reasons instead of her being stabbed with a Lightsaber yet pulling a Darth Sion being too angry to die) and becomes a Bounty Hunter that goes after Jedi.
Goddamnit Fringy, that is legitimately the best analogy for how Disney Star Wars has been since the start. You beautiful, hilarious, green bastard. I salute you, sir.
Can’t wait to see how they react to Wookiee Jedi.
Being killed off screen after doing nothing.
@Rotom0479 He didn't, there was a wookie Jedi in Luke's academy.
@Rotom0479 Plus Gungi in The Clone Wars and Bad Batch.
I wonder whether some of the Coruscant scenes in this episode were moved to an earlier point in the timeline than was originally planned, possibly because the Wookie fight was cut. It would help explain why Osha and Jecki are inexplicably close all of a sudden, why Sol says there is still good in Mae (despite her being pure evil up to this point), why the timing of events feels so bizarre here, etc. Feels like the Coruscant scenes were supposed to take place after the forest scenes and after Mae tries (and likely fails) to do the face-turn.
I actually can't believe this series is basically a hit-piece on the Jedi. That's wild.
Apparently the "Sink" is the clock in droid from kenobi episode 1, weirdly obscure to put in the intro
to this day that motherless, Godforsaken sink fucking haunts me
I was screaming my lungs out when they made the red kyber crystals into "bleeded" default kyber crystals, unlike the "artificial growed" as it was in KOTOR. Trips to Ilum I kinda could swallow, but retcons have been happening since always, even before disney, and it sucks.
OOoooo The whole "To kill a Jedi without a weapon" doesn't mean MAE kills a Jedi without HERSELF using a weapon, it's about killing a JEDI who doesn't have a weapon.
Since Jedi consider killing the unarmed the greatest taboo, the way to please the Master is to do the greatest taboo to a Jedi. That's why she's been reaching for the sabers in the fights.
Still doesn't make Torbin's death make any sense. That should have counted....
Why aren't the practice lightsabers holograms?
To put into context how low my interest in the show is at this point, I currently care about Addison's face being tired in Mass Effect: Andromeda more than I care about ANYTHING in this show aside from the ideas that are being wasted.
Speaking of glaring things people forget, doesn't Yord _have_ a Padawan of his own-Tasi Lowa, the Zygerrian from E1? If they're assembling a team of Jedi to confront a Jedi killer, why bring Jecki (a rookie Padawan who's had a total of one field mission so far) rather than (or at least not in addition to) his own Padawan, who's presumably older and more seasoned?
One of the writers said they reffered to the no name Jedi as "red shirts" so yeah, they die next episode.
Is this the golden age of television
I've said this elsewhere but this episode reminded me of last weekend's episode of Doctor Who (Legend of Ruby Sunday) but if I didn't give a shit about Sutekh and Pyramids of Mars...
Both of Legend of Ruby Sunday and Day stretch out their episode's plot to fill time so that the cliffhanger reaches the end of the runtime and both do so by mostly stretching out scenes instead of focusing on character based conversations (to the point where I saw someone reviewing this Acolyte episode say that they felt like the episode failed a plot version of the Bechdel Test as almost none of the conversations felt like they were about two or more characters talking to each other without needing to mention plot relevant stuff). The main difference aside from placement in the season is that Doctor Who at least had aspects that stick in my mind such as "We'd all like a lot of things that aren't going to happen" and the Doctor is just a more charismatic protagonist... including Gatwa's delivery of the line "Do you dream about being an ambulance?". Along with that, the leadup to the cliffhanger actually had me on the edge of my seat with Sutekh's return (at least the speech/dialogue, the H. Arbinger point should've been more subtle) unlike when the Sith/Masked Dark Sider floated in where I was just imagining a memed version where he aggressively T Poses towards the Jedi.
Although the latter part would likely be flipped for casual fans jumping onto each franchise with the respective series given how Sith would be more recognisable than a random Classic Who villain that appeared once in the 1970s (even if that story was really good and has the most popular incarnation of the Doctor).
God, had to go back and quickly watch the Battlefront II video with Luke after this review to remind me of what Jedi should be.
Right on cue - The first thing Fringy says is he wants to see a random alien’s daily life. Getting to be meme-level predictable.
It's a real eye-roller now. Like yes, we know this show is shite and it's not what we want to see content-wise, but it's silly to pretend like you'd be super interested in a whole different show based entirely on a single character design. They've even made fun of that exact same superficial frame of mind back in the early Mando days.
@@TheRealJabbergeist Yeah, you know what random person we've seen a TON of their daily life and we hate it? That mechanic lady in Mando. There, you got your wish and it sucks.
He did see Wookie cooking grass. I don't know why is he complaining :)
Writing is a craft. It's an artform. It's a skill you have to practice and get better at. It's shocking how little care these writers put into their craft. Almost nothing they've done is good in the slightest. It's just so heinous.
Also that laugh Mauler did when Rag's suggested not putting this episode out hits different for some reason.
This show screams last gen AI generation. The dialogue, the doing and undoing back and forth, is all so basic AI.
Is it ironic that they bring in the one guy concerned about the wookies when they need to find a wookie?
The team making the show were told by the director to "Throw everything and the kitchen sink at it". They couldn't remember whether the director was talking about the writing or the title card, so they did both.
Keanu Monday just forgot he did not exist yet. Koknauckah forgot lightsabers do not kill, even when impaled on them. We forgot, these people have the infinite ability to make things worse.
10:15 now I understand all those twitter posts and youtube comments mocking her acting range. She really does only have one expression, one demeanor LMAO. She even has that faint like almost smirk of superiority, so it's literally impossible to tell if she's actually angry or laughing at how bad this show is.
Someone needs to tell her that the Zendaya school of non-emoting acting doesn't actually make you look cool and mysterious.
Unfortunately, I’m gonna have to watch this when I come back cause I literally just got out from seeing *The Bikeriders* at my local AMC theater. And I honestly think it’s a contender for best film of year (at least right now).
"My loyalty is to Osha"
Oh so when she said she wanted to do a frozen/sisterhood bond story for Disney, she meant that she was just gonna staple it on awkwardly...
Cause the last few lines we heard from mae before they were separated was "what have you done" and "i'll kill you" l
I think it’s really funny that killing a Jedi without a weapon means you have to punch or kick a Jedi to death and not that you need to kill a Jedi using subterfuge or manipulation or something reasonable like that.
It's laughably bad how they had Mai say "I can't believe my Sister is Jedi scum!", to then have her decide that she trusts the Jedi and wants to join them, mere hours after saying the former... for no reason whatsoever.
Every episode of this show continues to ruin the force/lore more and more. Smilo ren floating down as his entrance implies u can FLY WITH THE FORCE IF POWERFUL ENOUGH. Which not only brings up the question of y no one else has done it, but y isn’t done more if it is possible by powerful force users.
Maybe the reason that Mundi was so concerned about the droid attack on the Wookies was that he regrets not joining the attempt to save the Wookie Jedi Master from Smilo Ren.
How did you guys resist putting the Lord of the Rings theme over the scene where they're walking single file on top of that hill?
Wolf wouldn't abuse the LoTR soundtrack like that
Smilo-Ren has the same dark skin and manly forearms that Discount Ezra has, so it's him. I thought it would be horned mother too because that helmet is oddly big (to fit the horns?), but she has puny pale arms with dark veins and long fingernails. There's a small chance it could still be black mother, even though they showed her corpse last episode, because if she has the power to create life like Plagueis, she would have the power to cheat death like him too. Black Plagueis?
27:00 If what Fringy says is correct for the show, then that makes zero sense. Because when he leaves Mae hasn't declared she plans to surrender to the Wookie and betray her master. If it does later reveal that Smil-O Ren is the simp apothecary boy and he could somehow sense that Mae was hesitating before he headed off "to get water", that still doesn't make sense. How would he even guess that Mae would not only back out on completing her mission, but choose to turn herself in to the Wookie? Even if he suspected she might quit on him, how could he have imagined her going to the Wookie, ready to spill every secret she knows, and her instead just running off to hide on some distant planet for the rest of her life, perhaps with her sister. Not unless they are going to pull some pre-cog bs and he can see the future, thus knowing for sure Mae was going to get cold feet. But even that is unlikely. If that happens, it is 100% just shitty writing.
If we are to say he somehow knew Mae would surrender to the Wookie, why would he be so worried about her coming into contact with the Wookie? He didn't need to frame Mae there. Are they going to say he killed the Wookie because he discovered too much about the "Power of two/many/whatever"? If he knew the Wookie had that kind of information, why would he bring Mae there if the plan is he'll kill the Wookie to prevent Mae from learning anything? If he knew the Wookie was studying the all the witch coven stuff, then all the more reason for him to direct her toward killing Sol next or give her an order to take the Wookie out from a distance, like blowing up his hut and destroying what would contain all the info collected. If he decided to kill the Wookie himself (and not that he magically knew Mae was going to surrender to him), that means he knew there was a reason prior to their arrival where he would not want Mae coming into contact with the Wookie. He couldn't have just randomly decided to part ways from Mae to go to the Wookie's place, only to just decide to kill him before she's made any sort of declaration to surrender.
It makes no sense for him to go there by himself if the intent was still to have Mae kill him. Nor does it make no sense for him to send her there if he knew the Wookie had info he didn't want Mae exposed to.
In no way, no matter how you slice it, does this make any sense.
So it is either total nonsense. Or, after Mae declares her intent to surrender, he somehow escaped the trap Mae used to string him up, Force ran all the way to the hut and killed him super quick before she got there. Even that is dumb, but it makes ever so slightly more sense than Smil-O Ren somehow correctly assume EVERYTHING Mae planned to do before she even did it. Anything the Wookie learned about the witches stuff would not factor her, tho.
Ultimately, there is not a single reason for Smil-O Ren to even let Mae reach the hut. She doesn't need to be framed and caught with the body. Everyone already know she's taken out two of her targets (assisted kill 1, tho) and plans to keep going. If Smil-O killed the Wookie and left, the Jedi would immediately assume it was Mae and they just missed her. If this was to somehow push her away from surrendering because she is caught in the act and framed before their eyes, that is silly since she has already killed two Jedi and didn't care about the repercussions she'd face. Adding one more dead Jedi shouldn't change anything. To the Jedi or to Osha. She's already a murderer in their eyes.
Furthermore, Smil-O Ren doesn't need to get drawn into a fight with nearly a dozen Jedi. At least one of which is a confirmed master. No Jedi or Sith should be able to avoid being overwhelmed by multiple enemies (not that I expect this show and its writers to care about power-scaling and logic). If this show had any sense of scaling, Smil-O Ren would be the one at risk in a confrontation. He also has no reason to think Mae won't jump out to defend her sister or assist the Jedi to further build up her case later for leniency. And if he doesn't want Mae to escape him, he's at greater risk of her slipping out of the hut and vanishing while he's busy fighting 10-some Jedi. So this fight makes zero sense. Whether Smil-O Ren is the apothecary and was able to reach the hut and kill the Wookie before Mae got there, or Smil-O is someone else lurking and watching. If it is the latter, it makes Smil-O even dumber if he's able to jump in whenever to stop events from unfolding in an unsatisfactory way. Avoiding the Jedi should have been possible in either case, though. (Or course, we all know why this fight is happening. It's all forced action and flash and no substance or sense.
If we are to guess what his goals are on that planet (after Mae's betrayal), one would assume it is to kill the Wookie and grab Mae to prevent her from leaving to join her sister/the Jedi. If that is all he wants, all he needs to do is Force run to catch up with Mae after easily escaping the tree, knock her out first (to prevent her from being detected), kill the Wookie, go back to the unconscious Mae and leave. This accomplishes the goals and helps to avoid Mae seeing anything and putting any pieces together that he's the apothecary sidekick. Especially if he forces her back to the spaceship later in the next episode while conscious and the apothecary boy isn't there. Might raise some questions. Then he can deal with Mae in his own way in his own time without worrying about the Jedi or Mae slipping away while he has to fight something like 10 Jedi alone.
Also, did they give the gopher alien Mae's scent somehow? How? What did she leave behind for the Jedi to provide to the alien to know it is Mae he scented? I thought it only had the Wookie's scent. Did the gopher assume it was Mae? For all it knew it could be a Bounty Hunter. Since we already saw there were BH there in a previous episode.
... *brain melts*
To be fair, call me crazy, but I do like the Smilo-Ren Mask/helmet. It's just that I liked the Kylo Ren Helmet too and the Marrok/green Fart guy's one too. They are always pretty cool but they get immediately wasted, hell the last one was not even sentient!
Tales of the jedi had the coolest inquisitor and killed him off in 3 seconds
"I was so happy to see Alderaan blow up, bunch of people united with the force, it was neat"

Vaush and the gloves popping up gave me an aneurysm, thanks mcmoobler!
Is this Mundi debacle not unprecedented? Has any show or movie _ever_ screw up this bad? It's the equivalent of Luke showing up to help Mace Windu fight Palp in the prequels.
The only thing close is an apparent event where Lucas made a suggestion that darth Talon and Maul were friends (which might not even be true), but the two lived lifetimes apart.
Search it up. That's the closest there is, and it was never even done and might have even just been a rumour or an idea that went nowhere.
The sink is in the opening because someone heard KK talking about "brainwashing the fans" and they took it literally xD
