Theory Reacts to the Acolyte Trailer 

Why is Disney’s only design for a sith-like villain always some bland guy in a bland black attire with a completely bland helmet? I get the sith want to hide their identity but how about something that isn’t just a copy of the second sister’s design?

well, let's see what happens. One thing I found weird was the lack of Star Wars music or star wars like music in the trailer. It just felt like a generic sci-fi trailer with Star Wars visuals idk. As for the story so far, It has some potential, getting a real late clone wars Barriss Offee feel from this.

At this point, the only thing that could save this is a huge Darth Jar Jar plot reveal.

Interesting how some directors of an IP want to take it in their “own direction.” The fact that you are working in an IP means the direction has been given to you. If you want to be super creative, then write your own story or do something that hasn’t been done. Star Wars doesn’t owe you anything. The story, direction, flow, and rules have been set. You were hired to work within that and make “THAT” awesome.

I have a very bad feeling about this

theory looked dead inside while watching the trailer 🤣

Big NOPE for me.

They just whining in the comments because their childhood toy isn't just for the white guys anymore dont mind it y'all. (Those trailers are indeed mid tho. Not hype at all but i'll try, it's Star Wars.)

The more I learn about this show the less interested in it I am.

It’s just a bunch of nothing

Theory you need to stop getting hung up on that one line from Ki Adi Mundi - it’s VERY possible that Yoda kept it all under wraps - check how he looks at Mace when Ki said the line - Yoda be cagey! It’s gonna be good. As a long time fan I’m excited. You are getting caught up in Leslie hate bro. I get it but don’t let it ruin your enjoyment 🤟🏼

the lightsabers look like straight plastic sticks

I think it has potential, I'm excited for this

“At last we will reveal ourselves to the Jedi… wait we did already… DANG IT

Im thinking there will be 1 survior from the "sith" attack and she or it (cant be he) will go back to the council and they will either not belive or blame them similar to qui gon telling council about maul on tatooine.

Mark my words: Rainbow Lightsaber.

This is a small detail, but why is the audio editing so shoddy on a project with this budget? Literally the first line of dialogue in the trailer sounds poorly chopped up and reconstructed.

Stars Wars will only be saved if Star Wars Theory is the producer and director of the whole IP.

if I’m correct, the Sith have always been around it’s just they didn’t make themselves known. They just worked in the shadows. so yes, every Jedi that comes across this character will have to die before they pass on the knowledge of it. so yeah, I guess another Rogue One ending!

The director stated she doesn’t want a “George Lucas “ show… I’m not excited

looks better than most of the past year. pretty excited!

Leslie Hedlands' new name is "The Gunch". Spread the word.

Well actually in legends Yoda did know about the Sith return, but he put it down as a dark Jedi and they were around under the rule of to and not being around for 1000 years is more about the Sith empire in the legends Yoda encountered the Sith This was about 300 to 200 years before the Phantom Menace back in the legends when the apprentice turned to the dark side under the guise of the Seth master when master Yoda defeated them, he assumed that was the end of it, so we had no concerns of the Sith returning which is what the Alkali was supposed to be about but when Hedland got on top of the project, she changed it because she didn’t want to follow George Lucas’s vision The rule of two was created so that the Sith could survive in secret, so the Sith were always around they were just in hiding. The goal was that as a master trained a student, when the student became powerful enough, student would kill the master and train the next one that the legacy of the Sith would continue until one day as it would come, that one would be powerful. Enough To carry out the legacy of the Sith, and destroy the Jedi order and resurrect the Sith empire

A story about Darth Bane would've been more interesting. Disney Star Wars keeps talking about how Star Wars is about more than the Skywalker Saga and then keep making stuff related to the Skywalker Saga... How about making a live action of KOTOR? I'd pay to see that

This is where the fun begins

I think this looks pretty cool and it has me excited.. the extended scene after the phantom menace screening only reinforced my feeling.. I like Star Wars so I like to be optimistic. For a while I was checked out .. ahsoka brought that feeling of wanting Star Wars back for me … also I don’t care if me being excited for it irritates anyone lol

Its good to be cautious 🎉

Theory after everything they've done... What makes you continue to have faith that they give one f$ck about continuity? Especially Hedland

At 1:05, what is the green glowing item hanging around her neck? Could that be a crystal from a light saber?

Maaaaaan. It's crazy. Disney started off SO strong with Mandalorian Season 1... Season 2 had its moments for sure but it definitely fell short of what it could have been. Worse than that tho were the other projects that started coming afterwards. It's just been downhill ever since. Genuine question. Which of the new series, if any, are worth watching? Some say Ahsoka is. I have not seen it yet.

"im sure they thought of that." idk. i personally dont think they do too much thinking over there.

It definitely looks like a fan film tho

I dont think you could make more generic sounding dialog for a star wars trailer. Literally sounds like chatgpt wrote it.

30 seconds in & hes not looking happy 😂

That garbage makes the *Book of Boba Fett* look like a masterpiece

The major plot hole Disney will have, regarding the line about the Sith in Phantom Menace, is that Yoda is alive and a Jedi council member during this time period... so yeah, there's no way they see this Sith and live. Well, maybe there is a way... Attack of The Clones. "Only a jedi can remove records from the archives" and "if it is not in our records, it doesn't exist". Maybe they do survive and the confrontation isn't recorded, or is deleted, and for some reason Yoda kept his mouth shut in Phantom Menace. At the very least, we alreqdy know that for some reason a record of the confrontation isn't maintained in the archives, which would explain why Ki Adi Mundi and other council members believed the Sith were extinct for over a millenia.

This is a attack on YODA LAST MALE POWER

The red lightsaber doesn't really need to be a sith. Maybe a dark side users who isnt sith.

It actually looks pretty good

Can't wait for Charlie Hopkinson to watch this for me!

Just you wait. Yoda is gonna be made gay

Its A Jedi story im all in

Every five years they should let the fans vote on what is or is not cannon - we could vote out the sequels, Kenobi, Fett

Saw phantom menace in theatres first time today on day off thanks to re release, hope they do the rest of the trilogy. Want to see reveng of the sith so bad in theatres. didn't get to as a kid :(

The trailer didnt make me feel anything to be honest. At this point i cant tell if this is too different, or too formulaic.

Ki-Adi-Mundi : "The Sith have been extinct for a millennium,"

Why is it filmed in the damned dark? Can’t the Jedi afford their electricity bill?

me lookin forward to it as its Star Wars.. i just hope its interesting and it cant be that bad if Yoda is in the Hood

Can we not just get a show about Plagius and young Palpatine Disney?

Every diversity check box ticked 🔲✔️

Gotten to the stage now I don’t want them using my favourite characters incase they ruin them. They’ll do to yoda and plo koon what they done to boba fett.

Am I the only one who’s slightly excited? I mean I know they’ll probably do something weird and ruin it but just from the trailer it doesn’t look horrible… idk

What’s the bet that they make the sith a black female who knows nothing about starwars

It just looks pointless tbh

It looks wonderfully diverse, inclusive and shit

Visually it looks good! Gotta admit, great cinematography it’s the characters for me that seem very off putting

Trinity from the matrix is slow in her old age 😂

Didn’t they say they are twins

Looks like season 2 is already cancelled,

I ain’t feeling it, if they had of gone back further to the era of Darth Malgus and his attack on the temple that would have been a great action packed timeline and also Malgus is an absolute brute of a Sith and not suitable for the Disney snow flakes

Where’s yoda!!

NNNNNNOOOOOOO

who else isn’t watching this

Good Luck Disney

I mean… Yoda was an idiot.

At least it gives theory more shit to do

If all of these Jedi don't either die or disappear, this will be yet another big disregard of established canon. Not really looking forward to this.

Will Smith is definitely in this lol.

I’m gonna pass because I thought Kenobi would be great, I thought Ashoka would be great. Third time will not be a charm. From what I can tell, the Acolyte will be worse.

Not feeling it.

A "Patriarchy" You're sad

It's gonna shit on the old lore and it's gonna be just as bad as every other Disney wars fanfiction they put out, this is nothing but another woke chick flick.

Any time I watch one or two Star Wars related videos, this guy inevitably gets shoved down my throat by the youtube algorithm and I'm convinced this dude just hates Star Wars

Without watching the video I’m guessing: Theory is not impressed by the trailer but he’s willing to reserve judgment until it comes out. This is the first Star Wars show that I have ZERO interest in watching.

May the woke be with us

Force is wamen. Hard pass on any Disney production. 😅

Every star wars movie/series these days is 95% females cast members. South Park was right lol

I got a BAD feeling about this….

Does anyone else not care about Harvey Weinstein’s former personal assistant Star Wars show .. I just don’t care ..Disney stop making mediocre shows and movies and Bring back George Lucas and give him full control over everything before you lose anther billion dollars or continue this downward spiral and become forgotten

Star Wars theory makes money off Star Wars so he has an invested interest in being a traitor and swallowing Disney dogshit. But it is dogshit. Already canceled season 2 after backlash

I only watch Lucas films by the man him self nothing else 😂😂😂😂😂

Imma watch it. I don't care. Imma watch it. It's the Wars!

Looks like a bunch of shit practical work thats trying to be saved by the editors

Star Wars fans see a Korean person and just plead its star Woke y’all r embarrassing

Happy 80th birthday George Lucas. 🎂

Why are there next to no aliens? George always had a world that felt diverse and lived in. This feels like I'm not even watching Star Wars.

STOP!!!!!!!!!

Remember the They/Them Jedi in Tales of the Empire

👭

theory you know its going to be mid come on lmfao

It is so so SOOOOOO woke I just can't.

This show is going to be so bad

This whole plot and premise of the show is stupid. It doesn’t sound like SW. it doesn’t look like they spent more than 5$ on the sets. The original theorized premise was way better. This is going to suck as usual. Disney picks these lemons and puts directors in charge of them than have no business directing Sw. They will never learn. SW is doomed.

The dialogue in this trailer is so annoying because they make it sound like it means something but its just a bunch of nonsense. They always do this and its getting really cringe.

Too much woke.

I'm sorry, but I'm not watching this show. I would much rather go to bed than to waste my time watching this potential pile of garbage. I mean I'll support anyone that is still planning to watch the Acolyte series to see what it'll be like. But for me, I'm sorry I'm just done with this BS from Disney and their BS for ruining Star Wars.

people still watch Star Wars?

If you want to seem epic just bang on your drums so much it's annoying.

Woke Wars back at it again

👎 DEI convention
