Oh it all makes sense..... She wanted to tell a story about how the Jedi were evil.... then she backed out at the end.... but she went on press tours talking about the original concept she envisioned..... So this went from The Acolyte to The Bait and Switch.
@@thestarisalie She didn't destroy anything... she wasn't competent enough to create something to begin with. The people who shill for this show will move on to next product and never speak of this again.... like they have for every other product. Lesley is like those Stop Oil idiots who only understood oil was bad..... as they protested outside a vegetable oil factory.
@@wrayday7149 Haha youre blaming incompetence hahaha Okay listen closely, these people are neo marxist trying to distort values in americs so it csn be destroyed. She didnt get 180 million dollars because she in incompetent and kennedy isnt a ceo because she is incompetent. You arent smarter thsn larry fink or steohen shwarzman let alone bob iger.

Because, you know, “Green”, and “Sustainable”, and “Social Justice”, and “Environmentally Aware And Concerned”, and all the other pseudoscientific quasi-religious mumble-jumbo. Except, with Leslye Headland, you have to add amoral sociopathic former personal assistant/accomplice/facilitator/acolyte to a known convicted serial sexual predator.

"Fathers and father-figures are important" Thank you for saying that. As someone that is very close to his dad and cherishes that relationship for all its helped me become in my life, I think A LOT of fiction has lost that incredibly important element up to and including often denigrating it.
Occupational Safety and Health Administration. That is the name of a main character in this fanfic of a show. That being said, this has been the best breakdown I've seen of the disaster that has been Disney's Star Wars. Subbed.
tbh, I had hope for him. but I've been saying Dave Baloney for a bit now. I think he's trapped in a toxic workplace and just trying to take home paychecks these days. Look at Wacolyte, four years and 180 million for these short eight episodes. How can a person who used to produce a quality show with REAL ~26 episode seasons for years withstand the glacial production pace under KK? but where does a guy who's done little to nothing other Star Wars go when all that's being produced anymore is Star Was? He has little choice but to cash the checks and mail it in. sad really.
He pandered to geroge lucas in the beginning in order to cement his position as the stsr wars forerunner. When that was achieved, he started building his own star wars universe and characters, leaving the OG ones in the dust, either ignoring them moving forward or destroying them to build up HIS vision of star wars (eg luke, han solo) . Mando , book of boba fett were all launching pad for this new universe. I mean look at mando season 3 , suddenly bo katan became the central character. Its all pretty obvious. Its all by design , what filoni wants is ultimately and eventually replace george lucas as the name synonymous with star wars. And the woke agenda is part of this design.
OMG!!! I am not a huge SW fan, but thank you. Qui-Gon Jinn found Anakin and, after much research, believed he was 'The Chosen One'. When he went to the council they reminded him that there can be no Chosen One because there are no Sith. For this story to come out and say 100 years earlier there are Sith and the council knew about it...
Most fans on the other side would argue Qmir isn’t a sith but that wouldn’t explain the people lack of motivation to look into the SEVERAL dead homies both knights and padawan any further. Intuition would would tell you there’s more to the story and thus encourage vigilance for the coming years especially for an organization who’s adamant on sweeping these situations under the rug
@@DeagleGamesTVQimir is a Sith because they are just opposite the Jedi, but they did have Vernestra Padawan ask her if she thinks Sol is responsible. Because at the moment the council does not know anything so what will likely happen is Sol is going to get framed for it because Qimir is Vernestra former padawan. So that will line up.
@@DeagleGamesTV shit son especially the red lightsaber if they wanted me not accuse the dude of being a sith then they should’ve gone for another color
Maybe season two will reveal that Osha and Mae’s conjoined soul gets passed down until it is born into the perfect vessel: Rey. Then Leslye Weinstein’s ego may finally be satisfied.
Honestly, if they could write a story that makes it work, and Rey turns evil to make way for a new hero to revive the Jedi it would actually be kinda epic because they could go with Darth Sidious being the Sith behind all this who is of course Poppy Palpy mentor, and Sidious in legend was able to transfer his essence into different forms. What I’m saying is Somehow Rey is Plageuis.
You would think investors would be furious with the opportunity cost of doubling down on every failure, but I guess Disney is cool with making like 10% of what they could be making from Star Wars🤷♂️
I wonder how many changes were made to initial concept during these 4 years in the making. The basic idea wasn't bad but we can watch the final effect ourselves and it's far, far away from being good. I have an impression that even Lesley dosen't know what the hell is happening in her show. I one sentence she explains something (we haven’t confirmed that the witches created them. [laughs]) and in the next one she quite opposite (the act of creating them was going to need amplification). Even characters she's created say the Jedi would be unhappy if they found out how the witches created the twins. In another interview she said "she believed" that Anaseia was transforming herself and Mae into the Force. If I would write a story, I would have KNOWN why something is happening.
I'm not absolving the show creator from blame, but Disney has a nasty habit of exec meddling during shooting and airing. Same execs who had the scripts for months before the production shot a single frame, but couldn't imagine issues until they see the first cut of the episode. Then everyone's an expert at what is gonna offend the populace, but no expertise as to what makes a good show. That said, Disney also backs off once the show runner puts their foot down by showing up for all the hassle of meetings and basically selling the show concept to the execs again. And also sprinkle in some bull and acting (yes yes, thats a good idea, which we can tie in here to leave as a spin to a second season? Wink wink?), take some exec notes that the creator later throws away. And you're gold. Headland basically started with a concept, sold it to Kennedy (who may have seen Headland as a mini her - she started off as an assistant to Spielberg, one who wouldn't quit pitching ideas during creative meetings). Headland wasn't strong enough of a writer to make a good story, tried to bullcrap her way through interviews the way she did with Kennedy, except unlike KK, the real world keeps receipts and called her out on it. Then the show plops onto our doorstep and we're all wondering 'what an interesting smell you've discovered,' wasting weeks trying to get it out, or hoping that this show gets better.
Basically every interview she does makes the case that she's just not a very good writer and too inexperienced to be a showrunner for a project of this scale. Contrary to popular belief, I think she IS a huge Star Wars fan, and that she DOES care about the lore. I just think she is a bad mix of a hollow philosopher and a bad storyteller.
15:16 That sounds awfully similar to "becoming one with the force but retaining your individuality." Which is what a force ghost is. So, according to Headland, she THINKS (her words) they were becoming force ghosts. That causes way more concerns than problems it solves.
Yeah, because Force Ghosts could interact with the physical plane and use the Force, while also having the benefit of being completely intangible and unstoppable since, well, they're already dead. And you can't kill that which is already dead. So someone becoming a Force Ghost at this time period makes everything a whole lot dumber according to what they CAN do in The Rise of Skywalker.
Even if she was "transforming into the Force" non-lethally, how are the Jedi supposed to have understood that? They saw a hostile opponent turning into a distorted black cloud creature and seemingly disintegrating a scared child? Were they supposed magically know that this was a completely benign example of a feat nobody has ever heard of? Or that being slightly poked with a lightsaber would instantly kill this Force mist? Why didn't she just say something like "we're leaving" so they understood it was just an attempt to escape? Disregarding that, it was completely unnecessary. The witches could have dropped the attitude and pointless evasiveness and just explain the situation. Especially if she was really "going to let Osha go" despite having acted in the exact opposite way. That's just a gaslighting guilt trip on her part.
Her & everyone else who worked on this show have proven they Lack even the most basic understanding of the source material. This is who is getting hired for these jobs? It feels as if they give zero F*cks about respecting this widely beloved story that they have been given the opportunity to be in charge of? They don't comprehend how much they don't understand Star Wars. So much so that IT HURTS! (They also don't understand anything about quality storytelling/ character building & world building as a whole) Yet these people act like They deserve these positions? Out of all people, HOW are these who they want to be creating Star Wars content..? It's ridiculous.. I don't understand how things have gotten this bad that NO ONE can step in and Fire all of these inadequate people..? The world needs people to put their ego's aside and just bring in truly passionate and gifted individuals artist's, actors, writers, set designers, sound design, you name it, we need a shift that shows improvement.. Things have been bleak for far too long. If they could bring in selfless, talented and passionate people it could really help get ourselves out of this depressed hole that we've been stuck in. This feeling is a natural response if all we have been seeing is these soulless detached narcissistic individuals are who is in charge. It's awful, it's fake and it's forced. They don't just Not grasp Star Wars. They don't understand the creative process as a whole.. There's genuinely talented people out there who haven't gotten a chance to work on projects such as this and I really think it's time those people get the chance to work on these projects. Random Honest question: When it comes to the Acolyte, What is so SPECIAL about Osha and Mea for them to be the Main focus, the Main characters, etc. She has ZERO personality, 0 depth, 0 intricate aspects to her character.. Yet we are supposed to believe All off this is occurring around the twins as the main focus...? She has the personality of a cardboard box. There's so many things that are very wrong with this sad attempt at telling a star wars story.. There's so many issues with this story tho.. None of what they have made actually portraits accurate star wars, accurate jedi, etc. etc. How did this cost $180 million..? It seriously does not make any sense This show comes off so cheap & tacky.. It's not just the terrible writing & terrible acting. It's horrible set design, horrible world building, horrible camera work. It all makes this show feel so small. Like it's filmed in a single green screen room.. Grasping at awful CGI techniques to try and force any bit of a false reality into this mess of a show. It's so far from Legitimate Star wars movies that it feels as if this whole thing is a big parody.. A very expensive parody..
@@marhawkman303 I know they seem to enjoy ruining things. It's like it actively brings them joy and satisfaction.. They are genuinely messed up individuals if this is actually how things are.. I wish thing's didn't have to go this way. Even video games & the majority of the video games industry has fallen a part too.. It truly is a sad time..
as a script writer myself it's simple this show suffers from over thinking, which is a common problem with inexperienced writers who are too much in their own heads where everything makes sense but they fail to rewrite the story by looking at it through the eyes and perspective of people who are only going by what they see (which is a skill good writers have) as presented in the final product on screen. This type of writing utilized by the shows writer works better in novel form but fails miserably when used on screen because it just leaves the audience confused beyond belief. 2 different types of writing made for 2 different types of medium
The power of many was countered by a single jedi freeing the wookie? and it killed all the witches?! Isn't that the opposite of power? The weakness of many?
No, it was clearly showcasing that one strong, confident woman has more power in one hand than "The Power of Many," which is why only a female character could have pulled off this feat. Though this does mean Master Trinity was the most guilty Jedi since she killed most of the witch cultists, so her padawan 'unaliving' himself by drinking evil twin's poison still makes zero sense, especially when he and the Wookiee were the real victim of all this after being mind-controlled.
Thoughts on the Thanos Fart Dust cloud transformation (after hearing about it so many times): what if it is an illusion pushed into the minds of others when initially happening? That would explain why she was still solid during Sol's stabby stab and why she was saying she was still going to give Osha over--it was an illusion to buy them time (more like a ninja's smoke bomb) than anything.
The more Weinstein explains her intentions, the clearer it becomes that either a) she completely failed to translate her thoughts into words on a page and images on the screen, or b) she’s just lying, trying to retcon depth into the show that was never there.
I'd say its both a and b. She lacks the creative talent to put her confused, scattered thoughts onto a few pieces of paper, and she needs help retconing stuff into Star Wars history so she doesn't look like she's either ripping off more creative minds than hers, or is just desperately trying to make her garbage make sense, even though it doesn't.
It took me this long to realize how truly stupid The Acolyte's "The Power one...two...many" line is. The witches repeat it over and over like its some kind of deep secret or mysticism. But now that I think about it, I realize; its just first grade math. Adding two things together makes them greater than one thing, and adding a bunch of things together is bigger than that. So their great wisdom is that... working together makes them stronger? Their entire philosophy is literally the "Apes together, strong" meme from Planet of the Apes.
After seeing episode 7, I think I know how or why Sol didn't know that evil twin wasn't good twin. The way they were created means they're like one being that was split in two, giving them the same feel or Force energy as the other, so when evil twin disguised herself as good twin, Sol couldn't feel the difference between the two... Though this means nothing when you consider that evil twin has a freaking NOTICEABLE TATTOO on her forehead! So that whole 'switching places' plan shouldn't have worked anyway. It really shows how bad the writing for this series is when you have to watch a whole episode or two ahead to get an answer for something that didn't make sense before, when the answer should have been explained back then.
plus the "TWINS" who are supposed to be a "split" person, were NOT IDENTICAL as children, but somehow BECOME identical as adults. it's all crazy. identical except for the big facial marking
@@daruekeller Exactly. You shouldn't have to think so hard to make this crap make sense - that's the creatively bankrupt "creators" damn job to do that.
5:36 The relevance is that Headland watched Charmed at some point and thought "I like that, let's copy it badly". Luckily any story that changes (not builds on) the world, characters and magic system of the original content, de-canonises itself from said content, with that definition most of Disney Star Wars can be relegated to fanfiction and parody
The show is a waste of time it just a bad fan fiction the writers promised a Sith centric story but all we left with people do not understand the lore of Star Wars at all and forget the villains are the Sith.
The funniest thing imo is that they tried so hard to make u not relate to Jedis yet Torbin is the character I relate the most to… My man didn’t want to be there, after what happened he went into deep meditation and offed himself because he couldn’t take it anymore - that’s literally me after watching the acolyte. #Torbinmyguy
Plot TWIST! when the second death star was destroyed it time traveled back and blows up brendok... and then palpatine falls in love with Shmee Skywalker and force wipes her memory of him.... Oh and Chewbacca is now trans... deal with it!
You discovered what I've been saying for years. There's TOO MUCH lore. And so many times, it's retroactive lore to explain something that happened in a movie or show, often a plot hole.
They don't know how to write Jedi. Qui-Gon JInn, Luke, Yoda, Mace and Obi Wan are the best examples of Jedi. They are stoic and wise always open to and listening to the force. Look at Luke in RotJ or Qui-Gon. They always always aware and listening to the will of the force.
I object to the idea that having too many writers dilutes the Star Wars foundation. Look at the EU, all of those novels by various writers built out the universe, and no one objected to them.
Fair enough, but those EU writers weren't writing with the intentions of changing the legacy of the original creations. Honor the past while continuing the legacy.
This show over tells and under shows. They over-told when it came to those moth creatures being attracted to light, they literally told us in episode 4, and again in episode 5..... they under show in MANY WAYS. What were aniseya's intentions when turning into a demon like smoke creature and then begins Mae dissipate? How do we the audience know that Aniseya was trying to help? That scene, only made me sympathize with Sol. There are many other things I could give as an example of my point- again, the over telling and under showing (and sometimes over showing - episode 3 & 7 should have been 1 episode and perhaps should have been shown as episode 1. I've never been so enraged after seeing an episode of the show, an episode 7 o the acolyte will forever be remembered as one of the worst episodes of a show that I have ever seen. EDIT: Oh and the night sisters do use the force.....? am I crazy? Headland didn't create witches using the force..... sure, make an argument that they use it differently... BUT THE NIGHTSISTERS DO USE THE FORCE, albeit different than the jedi... I feel like she is gaslighting us.
A Kumbaya of Witches! I know it's not, but that should be the proper term!! >XD I keep thinking, Qimir'll be related, maybe the first attempt, the scar from a removed conjoined twin (Duane Bradley Basketcase style! >XD); or, (just thought this), he was somehow the catalyst/donor.? Either could be interesting, not that if so they'll do it right or justice. Didn't he say to Osha he wanted to experience the power of two? How would he know about the coven's practices, unless he'd been part of them
This makes me wonder what the force thought about the witches messing with it. Even though Leslie says they failed or whatever wouldn't the force respond some way? Just saying.
Leslie decided she wanted to make a show where the jedi were evil, and the dark side was good. Also with witches and sexy smilo ren. They tried to reverse engineer from there and we got the Acolyte. Also im tired of Leslie comparing QuiGon/Anakin to OSHA/Sol. Quigon just wanted anakin to be trained because of how important he felt Anakin was. The council refused to train anakin so quigon said he would do it himself. When he no longer could train anakin he requested ObiWan train him. Sol from the beginning has groomer vibes, HE NEEDS ro be OSHA's master for no reason. He cant even twll her apart from mei
It's as if _every_ scene tries to "subvert expectations," with an emotional flip-flop without developing an original emotional attachment to flip.. ..Leaving only flop.. Perhaps the heavily bureaucratic Disney Corporation requires some over distracted middle exec to be pitched each writer's every idea in random succession at random times throughout each week before approval.
Acolyte Season 2: A bounty hunter hunts down mae/osha/quimir. He finds perverted quimir bathing in the nude, quimir comes out in the full nude and tries to seduce the bounty hunter. Bounty hunter- " i can take you in hot or cold" he then uses quimirs own lightsaber which idiotically quimir just leaves on the sand with his clothes as shown in season 1 to chop off his tiny sausage then slices his head in off in one swoop. Bounty hunter then hunts mae and osha finding them at a lesbian space witch orgy and burns them alive on a stake since they are evil space witches of course. He then goes to yoda and tells him the truth about Sol and tells the world Sol was just defending himself and kid Mae even having recorded footage of her turming into a demon smoke monster. Sol then rests in peace.The End.
While watching Leslye’s interview, I noticed the shelves behind her filled with SW Funko Pops and Lego SW items. To me that exemplified her lack of real interest in the Star Wars universe and smacked of surface level fandom. It’s just a job for her, until the next job appears. She doesn’t actually care.
All the hyperbole and animosity around the show is unhelpful, bordering on insanity, but hey, that’s the internet. However, the show itself can be criticised as a poorly written, poorly plotted and occasionally badly acted production. Occasional decent fights don’t make a good show. Criticise it on those grounds. It doesn’t require vitriol and aggression to make such points. I agree, all that interview info should have been in the show
If she was going to include an evolution on the witches of Dathomir with a private 'cult' that has access to the force - and views the Jedi taking of children negatively - Leslye would have been a lot better of doing something like merging the Dathomiri witches with the Dagoyan Masters from the Clone Wars arc that have Force sensitivity & don't view the Jedi positively. It's a much more nuanced storyline than The Acolyte... and it's only three 20min episodes
I am not prone to hatewatching, well at least not for long. Part of it is that I do wanna talk about it but my comments become so long and exhaustive that make me dread what nervewrecking atrocities against the art of filmmaking they´re gonna force out this time, prompting me to have to put in the rest of the work in another comment dissecting it into a more realistic version of what effects the stuff they´re showing on screen is actually having on the viewer rather than what they´ve intended to do...or if it is especially bad, as this show so often is, when I have to call out what I feel like is a more or less hidden agenda they packaged into the Star Wars IP label and now try to inject it into the discussion without any regards to the public discourse. None of this feels like art anymore. None of it comes of a place of fondness for the Star Wars lore. None of it regards the grander picture of how the Disney corporation forces its nearly monopolistic market structure position onto viewers. They would sacrifice the healthiness of the fandoms discourse any day for their marketing scheme of creating products that appeal to the widest possible audience. It is not about representation. It is not about female empowerment, minority issues or any kind of noble cause. For them it is a product that is supposed to reel in those target groups. And if they have to sacrifice the fandom, the civil public discourse and the IP...they do it. Sometimes it even seems like they seem to take joy in it. Like Lesley herself has some kind of vendetta against George Lucas himself...and even if I am completely wrong with that, watching this show does infact do two things for me: For one - it makes me feel like what I said is true. This marketing campaign didn´t just feel a bit misaligned or wrongly taken due to forced misinterpretation by others. They came out the gate in some form of agression against existing viewers...and like said, even if I am completely wrong about that feeling, none of what they did in the marketing was actually about the show. Even now after 7 episodes barely any discussion that we are having about the product at hand is staying the course of strictly discussing Star Wars lore. And I for one do not take it that Disney would make it my fault. I am neither so far involved with the Star Wars fandom nor with the internet discussions that I would feel the need nor any enjoyment out of discussing anything other than the craft itself. I like to know about filmmaking aspects and I want to view it as a form of art. And that is the extent of it that I would want to get involved in it. But this is no art. And now I can say: Yeah we, if you´re looking for art in Disneys work then you are wrong anyways, and I would be inclined to agree I guess, these platform releases are strictly products. But I would add something to that, because The Acolyte goes one step further in my opinion: It is about Disney forcing a meta narrative on the viewer. It is not that I am unable to stay with the actually important parts of this show, rather it is that it was made specifically to tell a meta narrative in which Disney and Disney alone wants to hold the reigns of the discussion. This product forces views of the writers, the showrunner, the actor and the Disney corp about real life issues into the narrative of the Star Wars IP. They are injecting their own world view into it, regardless of whether it fits or it doesn´t. They are not telling a Star Wars story, the Star Wars IP is only the vehicle for a meta narrative about repression of females. The power of people of colour and minorities getting back at their oppressors which is the old Jedi this franchise came from from the vision of George Lucas. It is depicting narrative strings from colonialization, imperialism, abuse of power and authority...but not because these characters or the Star Wars timeline knows those things, but because the people involved with this product *think* they know those things and have to send a message, even if it doesn´t fit neither the Star Wars canon NOR their own story. One can see that, time and time again. Was the Gimpman bathing scene needed in any way? No, but at least they could get back at the men because they always used to do things like that. Why does Padawan lesbian love interest suddenly know how to fight with two lightsabers and presses a Sith more than a normal Master could? Because females strong. Why is any of what happened at the Witch covern the Jedis fault, eventually they´d have had to deal with them anyways since they´re clearly hostile towards the Jedi and dabbling with the Dark Forces, so if nothing happened now they would have carried the conflict forward eventually...well because they needed a discussion to happen about how the Jedi being the good guys is a thing of discussion...even if they have to shoehorn it in so that scenes barely make any sense to watch anymore ", why would she posses the Jedi, why is she so hostile when their goals align anyways, Why is she suddenly smoke" and the dialogue reaches unfathomable depths of "The Jedi are good" "The Jedi are bad"...and when I am pointing out that this is what I am seeing when watching the show, then: Two - They´re trying to push me into a rightwing corner because they are mixing up my feeling of how they can´t seperate their own personal messages with the integrity of the Star Wars canon (over which they already want full control over), neigh, they are even trying to claim full control over the interpretation of art. And that gets me mad. I want absolutely nothing to do with right wing media shills and their ingrained political messages they can´t seperate from critiquing films. And yet, when I want to discuss negative aspects of the show, it is highly unfortunate, that what normally is completely irrational agendaed hating, this time actually connects with a completely agendaed writing and marketing of a product in which one of the biggest corporations wants to claim independence from judgement of the viewers because everyone who does not align themselves with Disneys views is somehow a worse person than they are and as such do not have to be listened to because the only thing they listen to is money and that part they are covering otherwise as mentioned above. And they do that in ways that I can just simply not condone, as far removed as I am from any right wing ideas, I have deep rooted issues with the hidden context messages at the core of this show that I view as possibly even harmful in real life- whether it be "well maybe he earned his punishment, maybe suicide was the only way to redeem himself", to "maybe murder is negotiable" or real life issues like the very much observeable phenomenon that punishment is judged differently depending on how hot a person is, resulting in a scene where the good girl is converted to the dark side in the span of an afternoon because the guy dropped his pants. And that from a country that is not part of the jurisdiction for human rights violations, and from a country where views on vigilantism and self served justice are a highly controversial topic, with suicide rates in young men where they are at...and they want to push those criticisms into a right wing corner because I for once have to agree with mostly negative and critical channels, because Disney corp feels they have the only right to discuss what is right and wrong and what is important and what isn´t and how art has to be viewed. The is the audacity of people who do not care about creating art in the first place. I am sure that is not the intended interpretation of Leslye Headland, but when they constantly make the narrative about real life issues and constantly communicate how they want to tell a story about real life issues and constantly bring that kind of attitude into their interaction with the public discourse...how can I not hate a show like that. I hate it for the bad and sometimes even harmful writing because their not so hidden meta agenda is constantly impeding with the actual Star Wars lore we have come to love for the hopeful message of higher virtues it sent. I hate it for ruining my youtube search history because with their marketing they riled up the community almost as if it was their goal to undermine the possibility of a civil public discourse. And I hate that an almost monopoly company is trying to take away my right for interpretation of art...because all I originally cared for was watching a show. Instead they pushed out an agendafilled product that would sacrifice everything for their own financial bottomline.
And the fact that I could make this long of a comment without ever actually getting to any aspect of the actual art of filmmaking or mentioning any of the things that made Star Wars interesting to care for in the first place is kind of proof that this show was never about creating art of any kind.
It's not just a matter of having too many incompetent cooks - Disney Star Wars is awful because Kennedy, her "story board" and writers like Ryan Johnson have been out to deconstruct (meaning destroy) Star Wars from the beginning. They hate its high spirited adventure about the battle between good and evil, preferring instead a dark, incoherent, and dispiriting sermon on social justice.
Ok i see why they want to move StarWars to a newer fan base. The old school die hard fans they are gonna do there homework and they are gonna analyze everything. The new fans they not gonna study and critique what the writers are doing
I cancelled D+ after the abomination that was Obi-Wan. The kiddy chase scene, the barrier they could walk around, SHOUTY LADY and then the coat with four legs. OMFG. Nope! Cancelled, account deleted. GFYS Disney.
a mining operation of that size would need a lot of logistical support. but i guess they disappeared too without leaving any paperwork or witnesses. just another example of the atrocious writing
Yeah the franchise has done that for a while. For example Crait from TLJ was supposed to be an abandoned mining outpost and a Rebellion-era compromised by the Empire and the evacuated by somehow the system is uncharted and the First Order didn’t realize that is where the Resistance was heading.
This more Disney's m.o. than anything else . Tell don't show and what you do tell , tell very little. Episode 7 really should have been the final battle between the empire and rebels above jakku
That whole "bring balance to the Force" thing always seemed stupid to me. Balance would logically indicate that there's an equal amount of both Light and Dark Force users out there, wouldn't it?
I kinda like the concept that evil brings unbalance. The dark is is unbalanced in nature, so that makes sense. The Jedi seek inner and outer peace as their whole shtick.
@@RealLifeFakeWizard I respectfully disagree, I believe this was sort of a "Midichlorian" level silly line from George Lucas, and then later people had to make it work somehow. If their idea of balance is "getting rid of ALL people who practice the entire Dark Side of this universe-wide Force" - it's like one political party saying there would be balance if the other political party ceased to exist entirely. Plus, when they said it, in Episode 1, as far as they knew, there were no Sith. What exactly were they hoping he would bring?
The story of George Lucas's Star Wars, whatever problem there is, is still infinitely better than anything Disney Star Wars will ever hope it can create. It's just facts. But see, people should have understood that since George Lucas has been saying that corporate will destroy his creation because they are creatively bankrupt. Which is true. But hey, a big enough portion of the fanbase hated the Prequels and the direction he took the story in and let him know it enough and screamed at him to sell Star Wars. Welp, he did as they wanted and now Disney, the soulless and creatively bankrupt company, as George Lucas said they would, destroyed Star Wars. And George Lucas is billions of dollars richer. I say he came out of that deal infinitely well.
I'm just waiting for a reinterpretation of GI.JOE. the Joe's it turns out are not the real heroes after all, cobra has been oppressed all along and is fighting to free the world from the yolk of gijoe control, dictatorship. Btw, Gui gon didn't approach it the way sol did. He became aware of annakin and went straight to annakins mother to ask her to allow them to train him, he did not go lurking behind trees and resort to conflict to make annakin his padawan. No sense at all that the jedoli were kidnapping children, collecting them with consent , yes.
Bro, look: if you want to call the temple on Coruscant a Nexus meaning it’s a vergence, then fine. You do you. But I didn’t play a Jedi game, and do not ascribe that even the Jedi have the power of the force in an almost physical sense lingering around their very robes like mosquitos. Christ this is why you have ppl with their “head canon”. Anyway I don’t have to think that the Jedi temple has some kind of presence like that it was just the planet that the Jedi were left with control over that beings lived in. All the while other forces were about to take it over as they the jedi have lost the plot. Much like the USA 🇺🇸
Idk about you... You have really big hands compared to your face, and I think you've dyed your beard silver just to look older and wiser. Btw, Headland Eggs in season 1 of _Russian Doll_ specifically defined the power of two... and even used Green Bean and Yord VPN in that series. Yord VPN after he got enough money to afford stuff better than Ramen Noodles, doesn't sport his pimpled back and unfit body he did 5 years ago in that series, so props for him working on himself even if it's only to look better for his man, which is a waste imo. Chicks just smell better and their squeeze boxes Trump whatever a man can offer, and are designed to enjoy some ground and pound, if you know what I mean.
Everything about SW is stupid since the prequels. Shall I enumerate? 1. robes. Every jedi is wearing robes. It's stupid. Robes are not an uniform, and jedi normally wants to remain hidden, but now a robe=jedi so it's stupid. Fighting in a robe=stupid. Abi Wan wore a robe because he was on a desert planet. Luke never wore a robe. 2. lightsabers are stupid. Obi Wan and Luke had them because they were just ancient obsolete weapons that Obi Wan just happen to save one. Darth Vader had a lightsaber because he is old. My guess is that lightsabers are just make shift weapons like muskets or crossbows. But now everything about lightsabers. Stupid. 3. kung-fu fights. Stupid. SW was never about fighting. Luke just fought to save his friends. Obi Wan was beaten and he became more powerful. Yoda never fought. SW was always about something bigger. The Rebels defeating the Empire. Luke saving his friends. Luke redeeming his father. But now SW are just fights. Stupid. 4. Jedi counsel. What even are they. They are more like the Tea Party. Why are they so political? It's stupid.
@@blackdog8151 Of course. Yoda was actually at a super secret order on a swamp planet all by himself with no civilization around, living in his tiny hut and wore the old rag. Or maybe he wore the old rag because Yoda lived on a swamp planet all by himself with no civilization around and just had the old rag to wear? In any case, Luke didn't got a robe for his jedi training. Out of robes, we are?
Nice try troll. 1. Robes aren’t obviously a sign of a Jedi as half the characters in the films wear robes and tunics of some description. And the Jedi wearing humble clothes makes sense. And they tend to avoid fighting in robes and removing them before fights. 2. The Lightsaber was never said to be obsolete and the OT already showed that it wasn’t. 3. Star *Wars* was never about the fighting what the heck are you taking? 4. The Jedi Council isn’t political it is simply the governing body of the Jedi Order as every religious group has a similar group.
@@emberfist8347 1. Qui-Gon Jinn & Obi-Wan Kenobi wore the stupid robes in all three movies and they never took them off. In the Jedi vs Droid Army - Battle of Geonosis literally every single Jedi wore a stupid robe. In the Acolite every Jedi wears a robe. What please is humbling in wearing a robe? Jedi wear robes because the writers have no clue what a Jedi is and need to put them into uniforms so that stupid people can take their Member Berries. Oh robes, remember Obi Wan? Remember Yoda? 2. Obi Wan literally says that the lightsaber is a weapon from the ancient times. A lightsaber is vastly inferior to literally every weapon in SW. It's basically a musket vs. assault rifle. Yoda never had a lightsaber and never trained Luke in fighting. They use lightsaber because a sword fight among knights is just more interesting from a story telling perspective. It was a fight son vs. father, much more personal than blaster shooting. Vader also never used the lightsaber, except with Luke. He just chocked everybody to death. The Emperor was also never afraid of a stupid lightsaber. A lightsaber is basically a toy, Luke used it because it was somewhat useful. 3. Yes, it's Star Wars. Like in a war. Like something bigger than stupid king-fu fights. Obi-Wan just gave his life against Veda because it was not about him, but about the faith of the galaxy. The original saga was never about personal fights or grudges. Luke joined the Resistance because the Empire was evil and a threat to the Galaxy. He faced the Emperor because he wanted to redeem his father. Did you even watched the original SW? A lightsaber fight was never about the fight. Sure, they fought, but because it was a war. You cannot talk Dark Vader out of destroying a planet. At the end of Last Jedi Luke even throws away his lightsaber and refuses to fight. 4. The Jedi council leads a freaking interplanetary war in the Prequels. How much more political can it get??? Also in the Acolite here, the Jedi infiltrate a different culture and destroy it. In the original SW Luke only helped his friends and tried to redeem his father. I'm sure if the Empire didn't blow up planets, the Jedi wouldn't care. But now the Jedi are some sort of Karens of the galaxy. (of course that's because of the writers who make everything about politics now)
@@emberfist8347great answer.. about a war over stars. Good vs evil. Acolyte is fab fiction with a big budget. Totally undoing the story because of lesbian rights? Yoda wept
