The Acolyte Gets Kyber Crystal Bleeding Wrong & Breaks Their Own Lore 

3:44 "No expression on her face" No different from the rest of the series then!

I understood the process of a Sith apprentice constructing their infamous bloodshine blades involved fabrication of the crystal. Bleeding it as depicted in the comic panel featuring Vader seemed like it would be cool if done right. Osha's depicted crystal bleeding was passionless, bloodless, and comical. She looked clueless rather than fearsome during the scene.

I honestly Hate the kyber crystal bleeding thing. The EU explanation for lightsaber crystals made more sense and blended more sci fi, technical elements. The new canon bs just seems overly mystified and takes away the choice of the Jedi making the weapon. Part of the fun of Star Wars is the blending of Sci Fi and Fantasy and the new canon just....screws that up, and honestly in my thinking the Sith usually having to create their own crystals from nothing is so much cooler. Also, Disney being too lazy to honor their own bs lore is not a surprise.

It’s like they had a different writer for each episode. It’s also like each episode ignored not only canon, but also what the previous episode established.

The bad acting didn’t help sell this important scene. Looked silly instead of cool

"HEADLAND: This was my dream. Again, we talked very early on in the writers’ room about bleeding a lightsaber because, to me, it's a very intimate thing. In a weird way, it’s an earned thing. I talked to Pablo [Hidalgo] a lot. The crystal has to be exposed. She can't hulk out and do it. We've seen it in Fallen Order, and the crystal comes right out, but we knew this is a moment - we don't have time. [Laughs] It would be too premeditated. It has to happen in that moment." She knew what she was doing was rushed and incorrect, but shes a narcissist and she wanted to be the one to show it off first in live action. FUCK leslye headland 2 other things that piss me off about this is: 1: that lightsaber wouldn't function in the state its currently in 2: Even if it DID work, it would have melted her hand off since there's now a HUGE gaping hole in the lightsaber

Kyber crystal bleeding is dumb. It's undermined by Anakin still having a blue blade during his entire Order 66 rampage and battle vs Obi Wan. How do they justify that discrepancy?

The phrase "bleeding" is spiritual and not literal, and also she should have been seething with primal hatred. The look on her face was as if she had made a dirty accident in her underpants heh. If the writers had not just skimmed the lore in between slandering the fanbase on social media they would have known that.

Kyber crystals should be in middle of lightsaber and not in emmiter.

Even The Rise of Kylo Ren comics prove this wrong. Ben had fully turned to the Dark Side before he even tried and he’d taken the crystal out of the lightsaber he’d used to kill. He holds the crystal in his hand and screams with rage as he thinks about those people he thinks failed him. He’s in obvious pain while doing so and the crystal turns out broken and unstable. Just like him.

It also goes against Old Republic where there was hundreds, if not thousands of Sith, and we're supposed to believe that after how hard it was for Vader to bleed his crystal, we're now supposed to believe that all those acolytes and apprentices were given crystals and made them bleed any easier?

It was easier cuz she used The Thread rather than the Force. Plus, remember she has The Power Of Maaaaaaaannyyyyyyy....

The Kyber crystal bleeding thing and the whole, "your force alignment dictates the color of your lightsaber" thing is stupid, in my opinion.

If Oshas Lightsaber is damaged so much, that the blue crystal is sticking through the metal casing, why does it still work at all? Does the crystal no longer need to be optical aligned to focus energy? By the looks, the crystal can just be dropped into a lightsaber tube. And even if you believe in crystal bleeding, why does the blade itself change along its length? Shouldn't a a pure crystal emit a blue blade and a bled crystal emit a red blade, with a transition being some flickering from blue to red along the whole blade? I liked StarWars more, when the Force was not connectecd to a bunch of bacteria in ones blood... when it was still a field that surrounds us all. I also liked StarWars more, when lightsabers were very important tools, but still tools, not wizard staffs with a soul.

I am not a fan of bleeding crystals, I prefer in legends were the sith crystals are synthetic. That said acolyte did not even get bleeding right, it requires meditation. Light sabers do not break that easily plus the emitter broke off and without the emitter the lightsaber would not work. The lightsaber requires the crystal aligned through the force, an emitter and power supply to work. I believe that Leslie Headland knows nothing about Star Wars, and Filonie and Kennedy need to go

You know, this is really quite impressive: Disney first insists on creating a new canon and then cannot even stick to what they themselves established. Although, I think for once, I put all the blame on Lesley for this one.

Lore breaking is literally the only thing Disney Lucasfilm does best!

What if the Crystal was so mad at the story, it turned BRIGHT PINK and refused to change back?

But we have to feel sorry for Lucasfilm. KK recently said they have it harder than others, to tell stories, because they don’t have a lot of books or comics to mine for content. Yes she said that. Let that sink in for a bit…

I like the crystal bleeding as a concept. But it needs to be something more, than a person being mildly angry for 30 seconds.

Didn’t they say I relationship to this show and why Anakin’s Crystal didn’t get bleed that you have to be torching it with your skin? You know that thing that she dosnt do in the show!

I bet It was a marketing move to sell toys. Disney will come out with a lightsaber that changes color like that now.

The whole bleeding nonsense is heresy! Red crystals are Synthetic! A true Sith will not settle for a broken, inferior jedi's crystal! A Sith will create his own crystal to the best of his abilities, with all of his knowledge and power!

OSHA did not kill Sol "in cold blood." Her actions were the complete opposite of what that term means! 🤦

I've always thought bleeding kyber crystals was silly, even before this. I also really don't like that only some force users can have certain abilities. Everything with the force should be learnable by any force user. It's like saying you can only play a certain set of songs on guitar. No, if you can play guitar you can learn any song with enough practice.

Darth Pickle is too funny.

I wonder how long before they come out and say that this entire show is non cannon and then never talk about it again.

6:23 so in my mind the whole midichlorians thing is the Jedi moving away from the force/spiritual side and getting it all backwards, using the G’kar’s analogy form Babylon 5 they see the light of god behind then casting its light on the wall and they see their own shadow and thing that god looks just like them only in the Jedi’s case it’s they see the midichlorians and think they are responsible for how the force works when in fact midichlorians are they equivalent of antibodies in someone’s blood when they encounter a virus, the antibodies aren’t what makes the virus they get made because the virus is there, the midichlorians aren’t what makes the force they are how life reacts to the force been there, the stronger the force is the higher the midichlorian count will be. The midichlorians build up in a persons body as they use the force making the use of it easy, this explains why at first Luke can bearly do anything but goes on to be as strong as he is, Anakin has already been using the force passively for years when he was found if he was a normal kid he would sadly have been killed long ago.

The crystal oxidized after the handle was broken, and hmm

Its own stupid canon , real nerds need to bbe in charge,

A lot fewer people would be complaining for the "new lore" if the stories were interesting

Total shit. Vader struggled and got put through it. This girls just like. Ohhh weird.

Making a comment to support my favorite channel(s), lost interest in Star Wars a long time ago. Lore and cannon does matter greatly, couldn’t agree more.

They don’t care about canon but what are we fans of if not canon? There are low watt bulbs out there that will devour anything with the name Star Wars on it, but the vast majority of us are fans of the lore, the story. Without consistent canon, there is no real story.

3:15 wouldn’t that you know melt her hand? We have only seen like 2 people in canon block a lightsaber with their hands (sorry 3 I forgot that Ezra also did it) satele shan Revans Granddaughter and the other been Darth Vader, I mean Palpatine May have also done it but I can’t remember seeing it.

yeah I think Jedi Survivor did it best, but I really just think the whole idea that sith kyber crystals are synthetic just makes a lot more sense.

There's no good reason to depict Kyber bleeding in live action anyway. Jedi: Survivor's graphics are so photorealistic that it might as well be treated as live-action, and the visual of a lightsaber blade changing color? Visions did it already. Been there, done that.

Given that the ideology that these "writers" subscribe to on a personal level is by it's very nature propelled forward by self-invalidating reasonings, it stands to reason that they would have no respect for canonicity. They would simply consider canon as one more set of rules that can be invalidated as long as they can substitute their own set of rules based on the whims and fancy of the activism-du-jour they can leech funding from.

Star Wars used to be a thing nerds loved and other people liked. But Disney wants everyone to love it, and that's just not always possible without betraying the nerds, because we loved it for very basic reasons. For the plots, the good and evil, and pure principles. Headland is not good enough to make it so everyone to likes it, she made a project for her community using people almost exclusively from the community to tell a story about them. And the original nerd community was discarded. And people didn't like it for politics or gender issues, its just she obviously shot herself on the foot by hiring friends and people with an agenda, added her agenda, and thats what made it unsalvageable. The story sucked because of a trash vision, leadership, and because of nepotism. Its like if the redpill community wanted to be represented in Barbie 2 and they hired a red pill showrunner to hire red pill actors and writers to do Barbie 2. Why the hell would someone do that? the story is for and about feminists to love and the rest to like. But Headlant hogged it and poured all her biased anti men visions into it, and then expected everyone to love it. Sucks for her but no one outside her community even liked it.

Can anyone explain how this broke cannon? She touched the kyber

People that can't write and can't direct hire people that can't act with a script that makes no sense. But it's toxic fans that are the problem.

Like what you enjoy and forget the rest, Disney Star Wars is not canon, but if you enjoy any of it good for you. If not also good for you.

Is this series worth watching? I’ve held off until I see the community reviews come in and it’s not looking good. Early feedback sounded great but now it’s been sounding like it’s ehhhh

Where are the comments coming from that you address here?

Mood lightsaber

Yeah cannon, rules, expectations. This is DISNEY Star Wars, who cares about those right. Oh the old fans. Them, yeah... Disney doesn't needs them! They have that new audience. Oh ...oh... yeahl

GEEZ,l’m so glad l avoided this crap… 😓

It's really stupid and gimmicky.

They just make it up as they go along... imagine being handed something that someone else made up and was loved all these years and then proceed to f**k it up and undo everything good about it... talk about dropping the ball and pissing on a winning formula. I have no interest in star wars anymore, don't watch any of the disney stuff and minus the clone wars final season all this shite they put out to pander to the alphabet people isn't the star wars I grew up with
