My HONEST thoughts of Star Wars Acolyte so far 

Yeahhh if thats the case then bad decision for sure.

I feel that!

I personally didn't even notice Mundi. If I am being honest, even if he died in this show, I wouldn't care. In the original Luke and Laia were making out, then Lucas changed his mind and made them siblings instead of romantic partners. That seems like a far larger change than some random background character that says like once sentence in the entire prequal trilogy, having his age changed. Maybe it isn't a retcon and he is senile in the phantom menance? I just feel like it isn't a big deal.

The point of including Ki-Adi-Mundi in this show is that he was WRONG in TPM. This wildest part about this whole fake controversy is that supposed fans don't understand that. KAM's only reason for existing is to show that the Jedi had a blindspot regarding the reemergence of the Sith. The Acolyte is using him to explain why there was a plausible reason why the Jedi got caught so unaware 100 years later.

Didn't Disney put in the canon comics that Mundi was part of some scandalous or political coverup before the events of TPM?

Thanks for watching! Yes the plotholes need to be explained for sure !

Well said! Well said! Spot on.

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂i feel that lmao

Yes!!!!! Exactly.

Yeah for sure!

Yessirrrrrrr🙏🏼

Yup! It could be great, it could be worse 🤷🏻‍♂️ i need it all before i judge

Yeahhhhh like Trinity gone so quick killed me. Your right though about the length of the episodes like HBO and Amazon have no issues with 45-1 hour long episodes.

@@starwarssith66 Exactly, I don’t hate the show over that, but would wait a bit more content as a paying Disney+ customer 😀 They grew the annual charge by 20€, so better get my money worth! 😂😂😂

Yeah she def has seen star wars lol i doubt tho we will get anything Plagueis related tho

The only hope I have for the show now is that Smilo shows the true power of the dark side.

For me Plagueis needs to stay as a male Muun but i doubt we will get him.

Lol right!?! Thank you!

Thanks!

At this point, KAM has no information saying that the bad guy is a Sith. They believe it is a rogue Jedi.

Lol yeah i have my own head canon where i pick and choose. I feel that!

@@starwarssith66 I've also seen that Yoda isn't in the show apparently. Most logical theory I've seen is that most / all the Jedi who know of this Sith die apart from Ki-Adi-Mundi, and he doesn't tell the Council about the Sith to protect himself after not informing the Council it in the first place. So in TPM when he says the Sith are extinct, he's just lying to protect his own back, making him a traitor. Hope that doesn't happen though.

@@jackbrooksbank well yeah they were asked twice if Yoda was in the show of course they have to say no to not ruin a surprise like Andrew Garfield in No Way Home kept lieing lol so its possible we get Yoda. Yeah i hope they dont make Ki Adi into just a liar in TPM. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Yeah im on board with that for sure!

@@leoeldude i can def see that lol !

Yeah i suppose. But we dont know who murdered all the witches from that flashback.

Yeah delivery could of been better for sure!

Thank you! And i appreciate that and the support 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

I dont really see much woke in it to be honest. Just looking forward to see how it ends🤷🏻‍♂️

@@starwarssith66 you probably missed them 😂they were kinda funny to be honest they did it like tree different times like for once example the basil thing when osha was talking to jecki and saying “ARE THEY OR THEM WITH US “ even thoe it was just one lil male rat creature tracker and other shit the tiny robot but it honestly doesn’t really bother me😂is just kinda funny I don’t know how many more episodes we got left, but hopefully they restore our faith or bring some cool ass shit❤️‍🔥🔥🔥🔥

Seems like you're the one obsessed with pronouns... This show is not woke at all. Basil is a rodent species, it makes perfect sense that different species may not have the same gender pronouns as others. You just big mad because of your bigotry. Grow up please.

Bro please try to keep it to a paragraph maybe two at most. Keep your thesis in the classroom. I have no opinion about the content of your comment. I only read the first two sentences.

@@brianhuffman2070 would have preferred you not commenting at all if that is all you have to offer, ‘bro’

@@San.Jam.A.Nu94 just saying what I read, I more or less agree with. And i commend your effort and thought put into it. Just thought it was long Bro-meister

@@brianhuffman2070u don’t used to read at all ah 😅

@@tokyoexplore I guess il sum it up in two words for @brianhuffman2070 - eldritch abomination 🤓

Yup. Exactly!

Thank you🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

I thought about that too. People are complaining about Mundi's birthdate changing, and if he learns about sith here is subtly changes the context of the other movie, and I am like, Luke and Laia went from lovers to siblings in the original movies. If you can accept the Laia thing, you can get over Mundi.

Well said!

Yeah i hope thats not the case hes there for no pay off! Respect tho to a tru Ki Adi fan💪🏻

Omg me too. Me too!

I hear that!

I hear that.

Exactly! Super out of control for half a show. Lol yeah man Andor just isnt for me😂🤷🏻‍♂️ i understand tho why so many love it.

Yup💯💯💯

Yeah it rubbed a lot of people the wrong way. And depending if there is no pay off i dont blame them. I guess it depends what happens the next 4 episodes

@@starwarssith66 yeah but even then if people send death threats then it’s already to much

Yes!!!! Bring me Plagueis.

And I believe the same can be said for Marvel / D.C. too

That episode of house of dragon last night was sooooooo good lol

@@starwarssith66 yeah it was!

Idk about cant get better. It for sure can get better but it can also get worse. We will see over the next 4 weeks.

@@starwarssith66 it’s not that it can’t. It won’t. because of who is at the helm of this train wreck. If this is the beginning where you should be hooking people, I can’t imagine how bad the rest will be.

Anyone at that point lol we only half way. It can get better or worse😂🤷🏻‍♂️

Yeah they do good stuff over there!

Idk about that for Andor. Wasnt invested in any of those characters at all especially Cassian knowing his fate. A lot of people felt the same about Andor as well its split 50/50 people either love it or dont. Ahsoka on the other hand for me was far from boring but im a huge Rebels fan so it literally was the continuation of that story. Ahsoka felt like Star Wars. Andor felt like a HBO Max show about outerspace

@@starwarssith66 love Rebels. But that show had a massive soul. Maybe Filoni is best suited to animation. Ahsoka feels so empty. Nice that we can share our opinions, disagree and not tear into each other. Deffo true about Andor as you know Cassians fate which is a shame. Likely quite a few of these characters will go before the end but at least we understand motivations for everyone in Andor. You just can't say that about the Acolyte. Never seen your vids before and enjoyed watching your thoughts.

@@Camelsarse yeah that fairs! Exactly love civilized discussion, nowadays thats rare. Appreciate that! Thanks for watching🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Thats fair. I can see that for sure.

The problem with these "details" is that they take us from the immersion. Also the pre marketing campaign was awful! Too much about the patriarchy and politics, that shouldn't be the focus of anything Star wars, just remember, every word, interview, video are reviewed, edited by Disney marketing, so there was no accident. The only real "inclusive" phrases are the two horrible "I created them", "I carried them" and the "he or they".... with out marketing campaign, the series would have saved some of its backslash, but then if you add the script with the "Star wars had been mostly patriarchy" you get a feeling of secondary objectives, taking away from any fun. Also using Ki mundi is no accident, they want to show a contradiction, or at least another catch and bait

I think all the character motivations do make sense. I get that the pacing is bad, and that is hurting the show, but the motivations are there. It is clearly established that Mae doesn't want to kill her sister, she is just upset that her sister wants to leave and never see her again. In a fit of rage she sets a fire, though it was likely more to intimidate her sister than to actually kill her. It is clearly established she does in fact love her sister. She wants to kill the jedi because she believes they killed her sister and her family. Either because they did(it really seems unlikely that the fire killed everyone), or she is suffering trauma thinks they did. So it makes perfect sense, that if her sister is alive, that she would want to join her. Her changing minds quickly even feels pretty reasonable, given she appears very emotional and potentially a bit unstable. They definitely could of done that transition better, but I think all the elements are there for it to make sense. The same is true with Osha's waffling. She was always indecisive, then the one big decision she made(to join the jedi), turned out badly. So of course she lack confidence.

Yessss lmao def just like paint drying! Yeah im not an Andor fan but i also just dont waste time and energy making content bashing or hating on something I dont like lol but if people ask me if i like Andor im quick to say No proudly lol

If it wasn't for Mon motha, luthen and saw that show would have been Xtra dry. It wasn't terrible though

Yeah i dont see that happening.

Yeahhh thats what i want most from this show is more sith lore and culture. Hopefully we learn more soon🤞🏻

Yes!!! Lol i was wondering if i would ever hear back closer to the show i still have it in my binder for u and bringing it to Japan! Awesome man yeah still have it ready for u! 🙏🏼

@@starwarssith66 Thank you so much! I'm more of a silent follower of the channel. I seem to never catch you live but I watch all your streams as uploads. I'm soooo hyped for Celebration and Japan in general!

@@fortunaroar1702 thank you so much for that it means a lot!!!! Yesssss super hyped for Japan too cant wait!!!

Yeah i doubt its her cause i feel the Helmet dude helped create the twins somehow someway

@@starwarssith66 let’s hope so as she carried them. I’m hoping episode 5 will be the sweet spot. We could’ve done without episode 3 and like you said a short back story of the young twins.

Lol yeah tons of my friends love Andor, many its there top fav show which i understand. Just not for me lol But yeah all in time we will see the relevance of Ki Adi if any🤷🏻‍♂️🤞🏻

Don't even go there most fans would take the prequels over this.

The difference is that those complainers of TPM were the minority and that movie can stand on it's own even today. Whereas this show, the complainers are the majority and not one show can stand on it's own without Disney fans trying to mansplain what Leslye is trying to do with the show without her ever doing it. How many plot holes can we mansplain?

Thank you so much!!! I really appreciate that and glad my passion shows🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

💯💯💯

That cliffhanger was crazy!!!

Fact! Acolyte is really bad!

Lol i feel that.

Yeah i feel that too for sure.

Thats fair but i still prefer all the OT and Prequels over Andor any day. Even Rogue One for me too.

@@starwarssith66 I can dig it. I grew up on OT, but I'm a Prequels kid all day lol. Rogue One hit me better after watching Andor. Storywise, it made Rogue One a necessary part of the OT; like, I can't watch ANH anymore without going thru Andor ep12 into Rogue One then into the OT. Sidenote: Do you think Rogue One gave us the best representation of Darth Vader and how menacing his presence is?

@@LoreMastersPod I think so for Vader. That’s the first time in live action we saw Vader as a straight savage and my jaw dropped during that moment!

Yeah i feel that 100%!

@starwarssith66 mainly waiting on the twins explanation....

Thats a big thing man. Big. How. It better get explained.

I think that is a good response. I wonder if it would have been better to just release all of the episodes at once. Too much time to nitpick rather than having all of the info at once.

@@bretkester8316 yes. After episode 3 i was like man this should of all dropped at once to binge and get the whole story cause week to week for this show is not helping it!

No way to know still plenty of show left 🤷🏻‍♂️ but its either up or down for sure

@@starwarssith66 with the way disney has already ran the show and the last 3 movies into the ground, its better to hold the funeral now then to wait for it to die.

I can respect that. I feel that tho about no connection if they all died cause I kind of want that to happen from the Sith. But yeah it for sure isnt for everyone 💯 Which sucks cause like i feel Mando was for everyone and well received for season 1 and 2 so its possible to create Star Wars for all.

@@starwarssith66 don’t get me wrong dude. Mando was great I thought. But there killing it moment especially with this show. It feels like it’s been plucked out of mid air and been given a war chest to produce, without the correct guidance. Star Wars should be for the fans and always be protected. This now feels against the fans in a let down way. Love your channel bro keep it going from all us Star Wars fans. We should really appreciate the new content from Disney but if it stays true to GL.

@@TomAce88 thank you man i appreciate that 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

No that makes total sense! Hopefully they stick the landing with the next 4 episodes

I enjoy that they are trying to mix things up a little bit. I am honestly sick of everything being in the same time period with the same characters and background characters.

Lol did anybody really have high expectations for this show ? Lol

Not a chance to be honest with you

Yeah exactly!

🙏🏼

Lol i can respect that!

Oh yeah 1313 or Crimson Dawn stories would be sick!!!

As far as we know it was just some random other Cerean and someone just stuck his name in the credits as an easter egg. Also based on current information, it doesn't change cannon at all. He doesn't know any of the people are sith yet and they might not be sith. Also, even if all the speculation is true, that it is him and the bad guys are sith, and he becomes aware they are sith, how does that go against cannon? All the council members are lying hypocrites. Lying to protect themselves politically is entire in theme. The original, "technically your father is dead" bs came from Obi won, the most respect jedi around. Yoda was all with pretending Luke's father was dead too. Where was it ever established Mundi was a paragon of virtue who didn't believe in lying? Pretty sure that wasn't in any movie.

WHY do you think it is "poorly written"? Can you provide an example?

@@hoos3014 the dialogue is extremely expositional. The majority of the dialogue is telling someone their own backstory or feelings, or telling someone else their feelings and thoughts." It's a textbook example of bad dialogue. Secondly, the time dialation is jarring. Events happen simultaneously that shouldn't. Poor plotting that should not have been overlooked. A great example is OSHA crashing and having a force vision. This small event happens, while the escaped prisoners escape, get recaptured, get brought to Coruscant, placed in cells, interrogated by Jedi, who then form a group to go to the planet. This is days or at least a day of time passing while OSHA gets up and walks into a cave, where she then meets Sol. Another is her somehow getting to Torbin before everyone else, despite being separated. Then there are plot contrivances, like OSHA surviving an unguided freefall from space completely unharmed. All they had to do was have her grab the controls and at least attempt a better landing to make it more believable. Secondly, the witch coven uses electricity everywhere in their base, EXCEPT in the location where the writers needed a fire to happen. The stone room catching on fire. OSHA being sent on a prison transport instead of being escorted back. They think she killed a Jedi master, so they send a Jedi knight and a padawan after her? There are better ways of making the Jedi seem incompetent than to just make them look stupid for the plots sake. Character motivations are left unexplored, or just changed at a moments notice. Torbin being suicidal, but still keeping a force shield up? Mae makes laughably stupid decisions, despite being trained for years by a sith. An example is using the exact poison she grew up with (which Qimir made without even being asked), and then leaving the bottle there to be found. Why would she even think to use poison that has to be infested? She has no idea that he is suicidal? All she knows is that his force shield won't let her through. She stirs up a bunch of dust to escape the Jedi, but that's total nonsense. The very first training Luke gets is how to use the force to sense everything around you, instead of your eyes. They take an alien to track Kelnacca, despite their being droids that can do that. Also, their are 2 Jedi masters present. Just use the force? The entire flashback episode is completely pointless. It doesn't give us much new information, other than introducing the witches. It could, and should have just been the first episode. I was honestly so excited about this show. I was happy we were getting high Republic stuff. I think it's an interesting and unexplored part of the Star wars story, but by the end of the 2nd episode, I was so so disappointed in the final product. Episode 3 was meh, except for the ceremony part, which was unbearably cringe worthy. Then episode 4 was boring as hell, with 9 exposition dialogue scenes and a really unfunny pronoun joke, that frankly, as a member of the rainbow committee, I was insulted by. I just don't have high hopes for the rest of the series. As it stands, it's a 4/10. Master Sol is the best character by far, and the actor is absolutely astounding. I really hope they use his character in some better material

Well said! For sure!

@@starwarssith66 And they did our boy Kelnacca waaaaay wrong. Like bro. One of the best concepts introduced into Star Wars is the concept of Wookiee doing more than what we’ve seen - a Wookie Jedi bro?!? Come on! How is it NOT worth it to include the fight of him vs this hidden threat?!?!? It’s the same I felt about Black Krrsantan in TBoBB. We wanna see more of these Wookies and we’re short changed. At least we got to see Black Krrsantan tearing shit up for a bit in TBoBB!

Yessss!!! Justice for Kelnacca!!!!

What if they just added him as a little easter egg? Why does everything have to be viewed negatively?

not rly ☠

Lmaoooooooooooooo

😂

Lies lol

Yeah i can see all those interviews from directors and actors not helping with the hate

It troubles me someone out there says "hate is well deserved" I have a suspicious feeling you take 99.99% of the things said out of context and twist to fuel your depression. And the more you cry about woke, eventually you becoming the one fighting for the same thing they fight for. Cry about woke = Becoming Woke.

Oh for sure. If thats all we get of him then that makes no sense especially like u said compared to other council members who are alive at this time. Im just curious to see if theres more scenes with him and more context on why they chose him. If we dont get more in the next 4 episodes then thats super suspect on that decisions to throw him in. Especially if any of those Jedi on Khofor survive after seeing the potential Sith dude.

We don’t necessarily have confirmation that this villain is a Sith though. Inquisitors, Kylo, Snoke, all not Sith. I’m not sure why people are assuming this villain is a Sith. The Sith are the worst of the worst. It’s like having two Mafias, let’s call one the Sith Mafia and the other Htis Mafia. The Sith are the most feared Mafia, but were stopped in 1924 and some guy who was born in 1980 witnessed a member of the Htis Mafia killing people in 2014. Fast forward to 2024 and the Sith are back and this guy says “But they haven’t existed for 100 years.” I don’t think people are going to suddenly say “Well that one guy ten years ago actually”, because he wasn’t a Sith.

@@archerpoolthank you finally someone who has actually paid attention that there has not been one mention of the word “sith” with anything in regards to this show

As others have said. As far as Ki Adi Mundi knows in that scene, there is a force using assassin going around killing jedi - they’re not even speculating that it is the sith yet (I don’t think). From my perspective if the master does end up being sith, using Ki Adi Mundi in that scene can further show how disillusioned the jedi had become by the time of TPM. Depends what they show in the second half of the season.

​@@archerpool in the show no, leslye said they are sith tho. So maybe she is lying or not idk

Well said! And yeah i can see for sure why so many love Andor for sure, just not for me lol 🤷🏻‍♂️ Thanks for watching!
