Star Wars, The Acolyte. Green light: Yes or No? 

1977: must see event, queue wrapped three times the block. 2024: watching a Canadian bloke mock it is preferable to watching it.

Let's resurrect the brand by doubling down on everything that caused everyone to leave!

Killing off Carrie Ann Moss in the first 10 minutes is as big a waste as Capt. Phasma was. Maybe even worse.

Jedis blocking dozens of blaster shots without even looking, yet a Jedi Master gets killed by a little dagger... 😂

Every time I hear OSHA it breaks the illusion for me. I worked construction for many years and OSHA was a pain in the ass.

"Oh, you had a dream? So did Martin Luther King, and he's dead." As a Gen-X, this had me rolling!!! Damn what happened to MLK was a travesty, but that joke was gold; "George Carlin spitting facts!!!"😂🤣

I loved the part where Princess Leia shouted, "THERE IS A TEMPEST IN ME!" and chopped off Lurtz's head with Excalibur.

To quote Geddy Lee "10 bucks is 10 bucks."

Careful, Paul. You're going to give someone the idea of creating a gender-swapped version of "The Rockford Files"

I keep hearing that, the Acolyte is supposed to save this. Wow, I didn't know they've deluded themselves that deeply. I just keep imagining a group of "special" kids building boat after boat out of rotten treebranches and they all fall apart and sink. Then they decide they really need to "fix dis" and gather up some magazines and bricks to make a "bettuh boat" to keep themselves in business.

That imaginary phonecall to headland is EXACTLY what should have happened

I don't think Disney cares about ratings. They do whatever they feel like and call you an ist or phobe if you dislike it.

Wait until episodes 3 & 4 when they introduce the fact that the force came from having two Mommies.

It’s like being told the Beatles are performing and it’s Yoko with The Trailer Park Boys.

That thumbnail LOL LOL

That thumbnail and Judge Dread comment are pure gold!

Judge Dreadlocks

Disney can call everyone what they want to but they cant call me a customer.

Called it! Carrie-Anne Moss is just in the first scene.

I will never forgive Ahsoka wasted Thrawn, Ahsoka herself, and the Rebel cast.

Imagine a formerly award winning restaurant serving dishes no one wants to consume, so the head chef criticizes them for not appreciating the artistry.

How can the force be female if no one can define what a woman is? 🤔

Homelander- "Look at these strong powerful lesbians. Are you inspired? Girls get it on!"

Paul... oh no... no no no... Find that $10.00 donor and block them!

I love how auto captions always thinks it's "Hello, Dennis of the internet".

Quigon- death by saber stab. Reva- stabbed 2X lives. Sabine- stabbed by saber, lived. Jedi Master Trinity- knife….

$10 get you to do tricks? Even my mom was more expensive than that.

Paul, there is no way in hell you can spoil this show. Edit: It's easy to see who wears the strap-on in that marriage :thinking face:

Carrie-Ann was the only draw for me, because I have a soft spot for her as an actress. But I now know they not only did NOT base the series around her, the only big name in the mix, but they didn't even keep her on as a cool mentor for young Osha to check in with thruout the series. ...sigh... Look, no shade thrown at anyone who wants to watch it, but I personally just have no reason to seek this out now. Oh, well.

10$ for a The Acolyte review. How much for a happy ending?

"I would not greenlight 'The Acolyte'" And you haven't even seen episode 3 yet. It's far worse.

The PHONE skit was the best!!! NO IDEA HOW YOU DID THAT WITH A STRAIGHT FACE 🤣😂

This IS the review I'm looking for

Glad you caught that “fire in the vacuum of space” thing

$10 dollars!?! I would I get for $50? 😳

Automatic thumbs up for the thumbnail alone.😅

No, just no! And none of that salad dressing on the side stuff, either. That's okay for my wife but I want the dressing right on my lettuce, please. And bring me a Shirley Temple. A double! I had a hard day. Straight Pride!

...fFire in the vacuum of space!" THANK YOU!!!!

Always love your phone calls.

Chato proved he'll do anything for $10 😂😂😂

"Star Wars: OSHA Violations"

The thumbnail turning straight into the video is kinda perfect.

"I won't comment any further on that." Message read loud and clear! BAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!!!

Is it so important for women’s voices to run all entertainment originally intended for a male audience?

“ put out a fire in the vacuum of space” 😂

Somehow "Pigs in Space" just popped into my memory [Now we're rockin'!]

A Sawbuck! that's serious business.

Hi Chato! Great Video. You've delivered some amazing production value for $10. 👍 Hollywood could learn a lot.

I'm just here for the fox in the thumbnail

Great understanding of the present situation. Thanks

It's like they picked the script from a JR High fanfic writing contest.

The phone call reminded me of Bob Newhart's routine. Hilarious 🤣

F the Acoldyke and Her Sith-Scissor Sithters!

Looking at all of the blaster shots that obiwan and anakin diverted, they are lucky that no one threw a butter knife at them....

I'll call you a dinosaur. You're a dinosaur! In a basement! With green-screens..! I love it..! WAY better than anything produced by the Mouse..! Keep up the good work..!!

Rogue One IMO was less girl boss and more of an ensemble led story. Which IMO is why it did so well, and also why it is far more liked than most anything Disney Star Wars! And IMO you made GREAT points!

Lucas switched the Jedi in Attack of the Clones and made them essentially into FBI. This can be seen when they are chasing Zam Wessel into that bar, Anakin says something like “stand back, this is Jedi business “ which immediately changed the dynamic of the Jedi. Also, Jedi being generals makes no sense in that context but they don’t nearly command enough people to them lead an army. The context of that military promotion when they are not military also makes no sense. And, Jedi wearing robes also makes no sense. In A New Hope, it made sense that Kenobi wore the robes to blend in to the desert environment and to hide from the Empire. Him wearing the exact same thing he wore as a Jedi was not a great disguise making it easy to is story him as a Jedi. All that is to say is the Jedi Knights seemed to actually be like special forces from the military not police which would require different attire. There were so many inconsistencies which were flouted after the originals that is made no sense, especially considering clothing….

The best attribute about Apathy is is does not care.

“Parent Trap”. Hilarious.

I’m sure the Acolyte will clearly be beloved for the next 40 years.

You look ten years younger with them dreads

That was so good Paul. Your summary of repeated failures was brilliant. Also, I am still chuckling over “a condo board with access to excellent dry cleaners”. Epic wit. Thank you.

"The first scene was supposed to HOOK them, not give them HOOKWORM!" "You're fired"!

I felt that "...sweet Jesus." aside on the phone call in my soul. Welp, I'm sold. Chato's comedy sitcom about a TV network exec screening TV pilots gets a green light from me.

I love it that OSHA is introduced while doing a dangerous job off the books. The name... it has to be deliberate. Could they really not have noticed?

“Oh you had a dream? So did Martin Luther King and he’s dead.”😂😂😂😂😂

Boys still need strong role models in their fiction.

I love the Bob Newhart hat tip.

Thanks!

I miss classic tv with 20 shows a season with a arch like Stargate and star terk

Ignoring the overall deplorable state of Disney Star Wars, I already had no interest in this because of how it is pitched in the first teaser trailer: "This isn't about good or bad; this is about power, and who is allowed to use it." This is a fundamentally stupid premise. Of course it matters if those who wield power are good or bad! This idea runs directly counter to all of the pre-existing lore (movies, shows, books, games, all of it) regarding the Star Wars universe, and it clearly demonstrates that the people at the helm of this ship got the navigator killed and no one knows how to steer. The central tenets of the Jedi are peace, compassion, erudition, restraint, and sacrifice--inherently good principles. The core tenets of the Sith are domination, subjugation, and destruction--particularly of things that are good--inherently evil principles. You can not argue that the Jedi are not good or the Sith are not evil, because they simply are on account of the basic ideals at the core of their respective philosophies, quite by design. This is, in my estimation, the very foundation of the Star Wars universe. If your Star Wars story contradicts these ideas then it is not, and can not be, a Star Wars story.

Man, that's a nice office, Chato. Can't believe they had those iMacs back in '91!

nice room great personality

My Dad always said, "You guys have to stop the bleeding first." We sold the entire company and property as soon as he passed. Wow. "Thanks and Love you Dad! RIP." Us.

I snorted at the MLK joke.

So that annoying Padawan, we can now totally understand why Anakin sliced and diced and made julienne fries in the temple

I have been waiting for this review. Unleash Mister Chato! Is it me or did anyone else get a weird vibe from that Jedi who drank the poison in episode two? His aura was screaming stranger danger.

All I remember about The Rockford Files is the theme music. And the Polaroid commercials with Mariette Hartley.

What these activists would have been finding out for the last couple years, if they had any humility, was that not every Joe Schmesbian can write compelling television shows and movies. Turns out, you don't just have to be a straight white man, you actually need talent.

Thank you so much for sharing your professional knowledge with us! Really appreciate it! 🙏🖖 (that's for the tricorder mention lol)

If this series fails as much as some of the other Disney SW shows, it's going to be from poor writing, and so far that's what I've gotten from this show.

Glad I'm not the only one that thought that droid was a tricorder.

$10 to get Paul Chato to watch something... Valverave the Liberator Green Light coming soon... or maybe Ben-to!... Oh lord I only have so many ten dollars.

I do like the authentic office reverb during the exec's call. Now, that's attention to detail 👍

Osha is the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.

This reminded me of your review of the woman coke dealer show (and yes, the actress is hot). You showed what was happening and why it worked. And why The Acolye is off to a, um bumpy start. Love the analysis.

Only ten bucks? This is clearly a bargain. For a hundred bucks, will you review The Devil in Miss Jones?

Love your "former network executive green light or not treatment"! : )

First TVA. Then OSHA. Disney do like naming things after government agencies, don't they? Can't wait to meet the Jedi FBI, her sister IRS, or her little non-binary sister-bro, DOE. And of course, who could forget DOJ, BATFE, or BOIA? Dollies, all.

How have I just now found your channel? Truly fun and entertaining!

Bruh, your Phonecall Skit was hilarious as fuck!

That was fun; I look forward to your next episode review 😀

I’m so confused. Star Wars ended in 1983. Why talk about it 41 years later?

Your VR office needs even more Bob Guccione styling. Perhaps a Christina Hendricks style secretary coming into your office?

Judge Dread? LOL!

I love your ”Scarface” inspired office! 🤓😁👍👍

Women like to talk

Love your office!!! 😍

Really enjoyed this intelligent dialogue and review. Loved your "green screen office"

The thing I don't understand is if Hollywood is all about representation, why aren't their films stuffed full of child molestation?
