Manny Jacinto is not the villain of this show, he's the secondary main character. Remember, this is about the rise of the Siths. Their return which led to the era of Sidious and Vader.
What bothers me other than the script that makes 0 sense is the pacing. All this episode could’ve been done easily in 5 minutes but noooo 30 minutes of nothing. This show cost 180 million dollar, that makes every episode about 22 million dollars. Where did that money go? Certainly not in the cgi, certainly not in the writing, certainly not in the actors. The only thing I suppose is that it went in advertising and reshoots
Sorry you're not enjoying it. It's not perfect but I'm definitely enjoying the show for what it is. It's far from 30 minutes of nothing but I understand if maybe it's just not your cup of tea. I understand the concern of some things being seemingly lore breaking, but I'll hold off until the full story of the season is told before I make any definitive judgements. I personally think Lee Jung Jae and Manny Jacinto are doing amazing with their performances and portrayal of their respective characters.
I'm in the small minority of rooting for Disney's diversity-friendly Star Wars like Ahsoka and The Acolyte. Waited in line for hours for Phantom Menace because everyone else were so hyped, but truth be told, never thought much of the prequels. As one grows older, hive mind herd mentality has less grasp.
Star Wars was never about non diverse characters. Did you forget Lando, Leia, Mace, Ahsoka, Padme, Ventress… not to mention all the legend characters. When was Star Wars patriarchal? When was Star Wars not diverse? The problem here is not the diversity, it’s that the diversity is the priority and not a well written script and characters. I can assure you that if the characters were written well nobody would give a sh*t about character’s sexualities. But this is what happens when you prioritize diversity instead of competent actors and screenwriters
@@lulas491 I'm not talking about the SW cartoons, comics, or literature, but the original George Lucas films that featured mostly white leading male actors as main protagonists for the bulk of their installments. Lando was the one-off trophy black man. The stereotypes of other races and their respective accents portrayed as inferior aliens are well documented. Over the past three and four decades since A New Hope, the status quo of representation in Hollywood have changed in tandem with evolving social norms. The fact is, not everyone in the SW demographics embrace this change. These subgroups feel as if "woke" standards peddled by Disney are infiltrating their nostalgia, if not outright threatening their core biases. Heightened negativity bias toward Disney contents ensue. Andor was superior across the board compared to the originals, yet still receive hate from aforementioned subgroups for above-mentioned reasons.
@@ssotkowtwo things here: 1) even in the original movies there are powerful female leaders. Leia lead an entire rebellion, padme was the senator of an entire planet, mon mothma was also a high figure in the rebellion and was a senator and everyone likes these characters. But the reality is that this show is getting bad reviews by the fans and the fans didn’t just watch the movies they watched all the series and a lot are familiar with some legend stuff. These fans love female characters like ahsoka, ventress, Mara jade etc… if you proclaim yourself a fan and only watched the 9 movies get outta here. 2) Again point 1 shouldn’t even matter because as I said the problem here isn’t the diversity, IT’S THE WRITING. The story is bad and it breaks a lot of lore, even the basic one established in the movies. This show is so boring and the characters are unlikable. For an 8 episode series every episode should be interesting, I’m not saying there has to be action in every episode, you can make great shows with little action (andor), but at least the dialogue should be interesting and enticing and should bring forward the story. Every episode feels boring because literally nothing happens
Let's not gatekeep here. Maybe we'll have to agree to disagree, but no one has to "get outta here" just because their experience with Star Wars doesn't include media beyond the movies. There are no arbitrary requirements that people need to fulfill just to be considered a fan of the property. Consuming more things beyond the movies can make you more of a hardcore fan, sure, but invalidating a persons experience otherwise isn't right. That is toxic, elitist thinking and should not be welcome in the fandom, or any fandom for that matter. Star Wars is for everyone to enjoy, no matter how much of it they've watched. Anyone who enjoys even just 1 Star Wars movie shouldn't have to feel less than or unwelcome just because that's all they've watched or gotten into. And on the flipside, your opinion shouldn't magically hold more weight just because you've consumed every piece of Star Wars media in existence. It's fine if you think the show is boring and you think the characters are unlikeable. It's fine if you don't find it enjoyable. I'm sorry that you feel that way, honestly. But others feel differently and are actually enjoying the show. Maybe don't spew your negativity and try to bring everyone else down with you just because you're not having a good time. 🤷🏼♂️ As an asian POC person, this is the first time I've been able to enjoy seeing asian POC characters as MAIN CHARACTERS with substantial roles in a Star Wars story. The impact of that is huge. For the first time we get to see characters who look like us in leading roles rather than just throwaway background characters who barely have any lines. Just let people enjoy what they enjoy instead of yucking their yum.
@@bdubztvthe whole thing about the extra shows is to say a lot of the hardcore fans are the people trashing this show, those people simultaneously enjoy lots of female and black or whatever characters in the Star Wars universe. That goes to say that the roasting of this show has nothing to do with genders, race or sexuality (especially sexuality since I’m gay myself). I hated how they showed the couple in episode 3, they did the classic Disney thing of show but not show, they caressed each other cheeks. Do you know why they didn’t have the balls to make them kiss? Money. Disney wants the show out in many nations as possible and instead of making them kiss, since they want to break some barriers according to them, they just caress their cheeks. Disney wants to capitalize on as many people as possible and also from the lgbt people who know no better. Not to talk about how stupid and lore braking is the fact that they conceive a child without a man, since Anakin was the only person to be born without a father, and that’s what made him special. Or also the presence of ki-adi-mundi in the meeting in episode 4 that makes 0 sense at all. I’m not saying you don’t have to enjoy it, you do you. I’m just pointing out some of the flaws that destroy a lot of lore
Missed something in episode. How does Qimir know that Jecki is a Padawan? Also Qimir is in a hurry to get to Jedi Knight Kelnacca which means someone tip him off that the Jedi was coming and coming in force. There is another Sith inside the Jedi Temple.
I think it’s I obvious Jecki is a padawan since she’s so young. That’s true tho. He did seem like he was in a hurry to get to Kelnacca. He was impatient when Mae insisted on taking a break before they arrived at Kelnacca’s location. I’m not sure about the theory that there’s another sith inside the temple. Ki Adi Mundi says that the “sith haven’t been seen in a millenia” Which means either all these characters die or the events of this show end up being massively covered up somehow. 🤔🤔🤔
@@bdubztv I'm very suspicious of Jedi Master Vernestra Rwoh. Her background going into the outer reaches of the galaxy makes her a prime candidate for being a Sith.
HAHAHA wauw philospher pala ako grabe omg dibaaaaa! I was SO excited when I found out he was casted in this show, but to now see the gravity of his role in this I'm SO proud of and happy for him! Our first major Star Wars character that's Filipino and he's an amazing villain!! A big win for filipinos talaga hahaha
@@bdubztv tbh I didn't know he's a Filipino until that Disney plus ad where he invited Pinoys to watch Acolyte opening with "Mga kababayan!" and I was like ok more reason to watch this ..and man, he's not just a minor character pala . What a revelation ! Agree with you, he nails it ! PS nag gym ako after that arm reveal lol
@@natedogs212 lmao RU-vid isn’t my “job” idiot. I’m a full time graphic designer. Was that supposed to be a burn?? Do you feel good about yourself when you type pathetic comments like this on RU-vid videos?
This show harms the Star Wars universe. Terrible writing. Destroys lore. It takes everything special about Anakin away. Having twin immaculate births was a huge mistake!
Are you that miserable and self centered that it’s impossible for your little brain to comprehend that other people have different tastes and they can like things that you don’t like?
@@Mr.Ekshin wow what a burn I’m so hurt. lmao get a life loser. If insulting random people on the internet through a faceless account makes you feel better then I feel sorry for you and hope you get some help. I hope you continue to comment and share your useless opinions in future videos so I can continue to get engagement from you ♥️ 😘
Thanks for watching! Hopefully you at least got paid to suffer through this video! Just some advice: if you don't like this, there's always the option of just not watching 😉
Why hold on to a corpse that died nearly 10 years ago, you’re holding on to maggot covered bones. Disney killed Star Wars yet you’re ready to ask to watch the murder on repeat and I don’t understand why. Why soak up all the stuff the white slavers sold you
@@bdubztv I mean normally men dont answer a question with a question, but I’ll entertain your inquiry. I’m good…. Disappointed but good nonetheless. Just never understood why new Disney Star Wars fans have to shill so hard for horribly haphazard agenda driven storytelling.
@@joaquingraupera7225 I read your comment as more of a rhetorical vent anyways. It seemed rather extreme and over the top which is why I asked if you were okay. The condescension in your comment about how men "normally don't answer a question with a question" was unnecessary. I understand that you're disappointed and I'm sorry you're not enjoying Disney Star Wars content. I think maybe just remember that it's entirely possible that others will like and enjoy things that you personally don't enjoy yourself, and that's okay, but it doesn't make them "shills" just because they have a different opinon than yours. Just curious, what are you referencing exactly when you say "agenda driven" storytelling?
@@bdubztv were you really curious that I was okay, or were you using the word “sweety” to infantilize me as a means condescension? Come on now I’m no young buck and I’m a lot smarter then this discussion but again I’ll entertain your question. Agenda driven storytelling is self descriptive in its definition. But to put it visually pretty much everything Disney has done to Star Wars since the 2015. But if you can’t see that Disney destroyed a already well developed IP just to preach “the message”, then in the words of obi-wan “well then you are lost”.
I genuinely was wondering if you were okay because you seem so deeply upset and angry that it's driven you to the point of commenting such a dramatic and over the top comment. But yeah, I will admit that my use of "sweetie" could be read as condescending. I'll own that. In the interest of wanting to actually have a meaningful discussion, I will apologize on my part for being rude in my initial reply. To clarify, I didn't ask for a definition. I asked what you were referencing specifically. And saying "pretty much everything" is not an answer. Is your "agenda driven" storytelling referencing the presence of more POC actors and characters? Is it the presence of more female characters? What "agenda" do you think they're driving exactly? Is it wrong to strive for more representation in Star Wars from people of all walks of life, so that more Star Wars fans can have characters they can look up to and be excited about? Again, I don't know if any of these things are what you have a problem with specifically, which is why I asked what you were referencing. I also want to make it clear that there is plenty Disney Star Wars content that I was disappointed in too. Rise of Skywalker was a dumpster fire, Solo is probably that worst spin off movie, and Mandalorian season 3 was a huge let down as well, to name a few. I understand there are purists who much prefer what Star Wars was pre-Disney and I think that's perfectly valid. If a property that I know and love went in a direction that I didn't vibe with, I would probably feel like it was "destroyed" too. But only destroyed for me personally. What I don't get is that some of those purist seem to think it's completely impossible that there are people who actually do enjoy some of the new content, and aparently the only reason anyone says they like it is because they're a "shill". I'm interested to know what you thought of the sequel trilogy. Or even Clone Wars and Rebels if you watched them.
Consider a few things: Yes, a small knife thrown DIRECTLY at her heart is certainly more lethal than a lightsaber wound anywhere else. Also, it’s set 100 years in the past when Bacta or other medical means may not be as advanced or developed.
