Or, maybe 'this' mask was the "inspiration" Darth Vader and Kylo Ren's masks. Wouldn't put it past these "writers" to try and shovel this crap into the canon somehow, and this could be a method of corrupting the past to infect the present and future.
Eh. I think this is a pretty weak criticism in a show you can find plenty of REAL criticism for. This is a 'I'm looking for things to dislike and choosing this one' sort of complaint... like 'bombs don't fall in space!!!!' (in a universe where we've accepted sound in space for decades) Star Wars is known for having helmets... it's a pretty straight up Star Wars thing for baddies to have fancy or 'frightening' helmets, and for better or worse, I think this one is actually one of the cooler ones in Star Wars history... ESPECIALLY for a Sith who WOULD be looking to appear intimidating to people. It makes him look like a grinning psychopaths, and a Sith would think 'this is cool!' cause deep DEEEEEEP down, all Sith are coomers.
@@lenajohnson6179the reason for the helmet 🪖 is because it's a rare metal that deflects lightsabers. It was non canon but they made it canon. Also supposedly it can block Jedi mind trick thoughts and mind reading like Magneto's helmet ⛑️
Interviewer : "Why are the characters all unlikeable?" Star Wars muppets : "We didn't have the budget to either write likeable characters, or hire likeable actors."
Remember, they said they were going to top the duel in The Phantom Menace. Their words!! My friends and I had better fight choreography in our backyards with broomsticks.
It's embarrassing that people are tripping over themselves to compliment the atrocious choreography when the only reason they really like it is because the characters are rapidly killed off
So remember when everyone was wondering why the jedi didn't mind read the apothecary in episode two, dispite being shown to do exactly that multiple times for lesser reasons? Turns out, it's because that would have told them exactly who the sith was four episodes earlier. Thanks, Disney. I hate it.
And jedi is not a mind reader, more a reader of emotion. They can sense changes in emotion, and their heightened reflexes allow them to see slightly into the future. They DO have abilities that can compell people to speak their mind, and it takes a strong mind to resist that influence.
There's a game called Two Worlds where the big bad appears very early in the game, and is meant to be no match for you, but there's a way to cheese and kill him, and that actually counts as killing him and winning the game, since his villainy never happens then. Funny how a random jank game people laugh at figures out the issue with this kind of plot better than one of the most expensive shows ever made for one of the greatest franchises ever made (or rather, what had once been, at least).
@@wdf70 You obviously read different books and watched different movies than I did. Seeing into the future has nothing to do with reflexes, it a force power, Yoda and Luke both use it while meditating and sitting perfectly still. In combat, their force enhanced reflexes allow them to ACT on that future sight to avoid being hit or killed, unless against a Jedi or Sith that has better focus and can see another move ahead than you can. This is why force users like using distraction in combat, to throw off the focus game of the opponent.
Yeah i think it was kinda like sidious being plagious apprentice but was using Maul as an assassin. I still think one of the moms is the master and smiloren is the apprentice using Mae.

@@lostvayne9146 No bro I started watching because I originally thought they truly believed what they were saying. Some of them obviously said the fighting in episode 5 was good. Nothing in the original episode 4-6 even comes close. Maybe the scene with Darth Maul or Luke and Anakin can be argued to be better. However no one can say the fighting in episode 5 was trash... Compared to what? Rey's fight scenes ? I asked which scenes in any other Stars can be viewed side to side with episode 5 and it's trash. That's when you realize these guys are as agenda driven as Disney. Bros just trying to make bank. I was watching Star Wars Theory's watch alone because I don't have Disney plus. I was wondering why bro wasn't saying nothing, bro silent the entire episode. He knew it had leveled up You guys are too biased.
My favorite part about all of this is that with all the money in the world, with all the time in the world, and with all the freedom in the world to make whatever they wanted, this was still the best that they could come up with.
Finale prediction: Darth Maureen is alive and ends up shacking up with Jedi Master Nepo. Those two then go to Naboo in the finale and then they adopt a little baby named Palpatine.
A 3-year-old toddler was given a gift: a whole series of Star Wars action figures and he played with them in the garden for half an hour every day for a week. He uses a cardboard box imagining it to be the inside of a spaceship, a space base, different places. He uses a bush in the garden to make a forest scene. He makes a scene with the good guys and bad guys fighting by banging the characters against each other. His parents film him while he is playing because they are proud of what he does. After a week he gets bored and throws everything in the box and never looks at them again. Ladies and Gentlemen: I present to you The Acolyte. ( A better version I mean......cheaper too........)
It would be so easy to justify a prolonged battle with a padawan. The Sith, facing a padawan, is amused and intentionally prolongs the fight out of sadism and overconfidence. Death from a thousand cuts. The padawan absolutely isn't in control, but manages to survive out of doggedness. But you know, that would go against the whole girl power narrative.
So, now they want us to accept that "Palpatine is alive somehow", a Palpatine usurping the name of Skywalker, Boba Fett "somehow lives" and worst of all, 100 before anything of that, there was a material that could, not only withstand but also, disrupt the working lightsaber, and after 100 years no one knows about that? Also, a guy that was born 20 years later is "somehow alive" 20 years before. And somehow those who are refusing all of that are "bad guys" in this story? Stars Wars: A Somehow Saga, acronym speaks for itself.
So I suppose we should head-canon that once you become a Jedi Master in Disney Canon you lose most of your skills and common sense, because there’s no way a Padawan of all people can hold her own better than one who has mastered the Jedi arts.
Remember Ray? She could fight a trained Sith having had NO training and having never seen a lightsaber before! At least we saw "Padawan of the Year 2024" actually being trained - allegedly.
Isn’t the green lady Leslie Headland’s , Harvey Weinstein’s former personal assistant, girlfriend or something? No way are they gonna make her the bad guy. She has to be the best of the best. lol.
@@thundergodcid960 maybe. Jedi are very inefficient. "The evil will always triumph, because good is dumb". Their counterintel is non-existent, they have no understanding of the term "balance", no backup plans, no nothing. Always reacting to events, never being proactive. It's basically a politburo-style outfit.
Reminds me how when GE opened and I learned how they're charging 200 bucks for plastic that easily breaks and you can barely customize, I went right on Etsy, and found a metal crafted, battery operated hilt for around 150. Was very happy haha.
tbh that the part of the story i have the least problem with, cortosis exist in new canon according to "Thrawn - Alliances" one of the thrawn books in the new canon however it needs to be explained how it got here, in the book its a kind of secret project of Palpatine, and Anakin destroys the factory. It is in the meanwhile explained and showed as a material that absorbs blaster fire and turns lightsabers off on contact. The main issue is, where is the dam explaination and how did it get here worked into armor? Bc the main issues before the secret project was actually working the material into something useful.
Sol: The Jedi don't attack the unarmed. Me: You were fighting him with hand-to-hand combat....you were both unarmed....what the hell... Seriously, just knock him out or cut off a limb! Jedi have killed before and this guy killed his padawan and friends, and IS A FREAKING SITH! God, the writing is so stupid!!!
Headland was probably thinking "lets kill off these characters one by one, it will be tragic" when in reality the audience was enjoying every minute of it.
Not only cut her hair...but in cutting her hair it gained the ability to hide a "Thread-Infused" Tattoo that was gilded into her forehead 16 years earlier.....
So people who can literally read others' emotions/feelings/minds can't tell that someone is lying/not who they are. Meanwhile start of the show literally used the same power for exactly the opposite. GREAT JOB LESBO HEADLAND! 👏👏👏
The activists assume gender all the time but never get called on it. According to them even if you are right about their preferred gender, assuming is a hate crime.
Old Smilo Ren's helmet and braces are made of cortosis, a rare brittle metal in canon that could cause lightsabers to short circuit.(actually canon consistent) If there's a writer in this show that knows that specialised piece of Starwars lore, how come eveything else is so cat shit stinking, there's absolutely no excuse. Why doesn't Sol know what a Sith is????? Unbelievable. The biggest sith rule, the rule of 2. Which means discount Ezra Millar is the apprentice, which means Maul's half sister is the master and my biggest fear is that they are going to reton Darth Plagueis and turn him into a half zabrak female.
Needs to be explained to the audience in the episode. Just like they explained the force in the original Star Wars, midiclorians in Phantom Menace, etc. Otherwise, it doesn't make sense to general audiences.
The thing is, he had this ability, but he doesn't actually really use it. Every time he blocks a lightsaber he should just instantly kill someone. One of the things movies almost never do is show how people use armor. If your opponent is about to hit you somewhere you basically can't be hurt, you don't defend beyond what you're already passively doing and you use the time to land a fatal blow to them. You walk into a strike that does nothing to you and decapitate them. The other thing is the properties of this just aren't explained, it blocks lightsabers (how?) which is apparently a special property, but it's also apparently brittle so a mundane and lame hit breaks it. This is consistent with what it's supposed to be, but the audience has no framework for what it's supposed to be so both features, especially one after the other seem incredulous. A lightsaber is supposed to cut basically anything, so the first thing would need explanation, and the audience is mostly likely to assume that material is basically invincible. But then it's destroyed by just hitting it a little without saying it's brittle.
@@jakeviolet2195 What happened to show don't tell? They showed us it disabled the lightsabers. There shouldn't be anything you should have to tell about it.
I owe you an apology. When i first heard of you it was the viral video of you yelling against Starfield pronouns, and i was like: "He's an idiot. What harm can it do to ADD something, like pronouns to a game? As long as they don't change/remove stuff" And in the end...i was the idiot, and i realize the shit we are into, and you were right...pronouns in starfield....a small insignificant thing....but a clear sign of the shit that was to come like this
With the Smilo Ren being Ezra reveal, you have to remember that the writers are bad at their jobs. All the things that made him seem like a blatant red herring? The writers thought those were subtle clues. They didn’t realize they were leaving a mountain of neon-bright evidence that pointed to the one and only suspect. ...huh. This is actually a good time to roll out the Glass Onion ‘No! It’s just dumb’ meme.
The writers *have* to be intentionally writing this show as badly as possibly just to troll everyone at the cost of $180 million, it's mindboggling how stupid that is but it is the only logical conclusion I can come up with.
Just once, when everyone else is firing up their multi colored toy sticks, have someone step out of the tree line with a sawed off pump shot gun. Ratings for that episode would quadruple.
@@darthvader2623 tbh i thought of that too, but that wrecks it even more, cortosis also exist in new canon according to "Thrawn - Alliances", however the issue was the workability of the material, during the clone wars Palpatines secret project managed to actually work it into armor and droids but that technology got lost again when anakin destroyed the factory. So now almost a century earlier we already have armor of that stuff? It doesnt make sense and needs to be explained further .... or we just say he did it and was the only one to know and so on.
I'm not going to believe Jeckal is dead until we see her corpse actively rotting. Even then it's not a total deal breaker, that'll just make me reasonably confident she won't reappear in THIS show.
This episode was so dumb. So many issues. The fact that it was Ezra who was darth venom had me howling. Great writing lol. Also, why could x23 hold her own against him, when he was taking out 2-3 jedi knights, at once, and she's a Palawan? Lol So much Intersectional feminism that i actually had hot flashes after watching this😂
@@oXRaptorzXo When every single person there outranks her and lasted less? Even the jedi master was consistently disabled and knocked out for longer and accomplished less as the only damage ever done to Smilo was breaking his armor done by her essentially unarmed.
Back in the day, when short stories were submitted to small press magazines by unknown authors, they would be put into a "slush pile" that would be assigned to editors and readers for review. In most cases, these stories were like The Acolyte: full of amateur mistakes, errors in logic, inconsistent tone and character behavior, or just full of overused, boring, or dumb ideas. As a result, most were passed over and duly rejected. Fan fiction is basically "slush pile" level writing that has been made public. Unfortunately, the fan fiction writer, often has no idea whatsoever just how bad their work really is; in most cases, they actually think it's good. Because they have no understanding of what makes for good writing, they are simply beyond help. These are the people who, in Clarion Writer workshops, would argue with the visiting professor over the dumbest things, not realizing that they have no clue what they're doing. Dunning-Kruger is a real thing. This show is clearly "slush pile" level, written by people who, in any other medium, would have been sent a rejection letter in the mail. Clearly, there were a lot of untalented and uninformed people making the decisions for this show. For $180M, however, you would think that they could at least hire someone to call out the glaring list of basic problems and errors in logic. The fact that this show was given the green light and allowed to see the light of day shows you just how deeply rooted the incompetence at Disney really is; KK, obviously, saw no problem with it. This should scare their shareholders to no end. Ultimately, though, when you hire people based on DEI, this is what you get. Without meritocratic hiring practices, you don't get the best person/people for the job--you just get fan fiction writers and other untalented people who produce awful things like The Acolyte.
Makes me wonder where the hell Disney thinks it will take Star Wars after this disaster ends in a few weeks. There’s no way they could justify investing in more movies.
It has nothing to do with budget and everything to do with letting these female actors get away with not putting in work. Choreography is actual work. So is getting in shape. DEI at it's finest.
The armor that shut off the lightsabers is known as Cortosis, a rare and brittle EU/Legend material. This show doesn't explain what it is and expects you to just roll with it. I've seen people say that they're fine with it not being explained in the show because they already knew about it, which is dumb. Just because you knew doesn't mean the next person does. An easy solution to this would be during the Jedi's investigation in an earlier episode, a padawan stumbles across raw Cortosis and asks about it. They get a brief explanation of what it is and what it does, and adds to the mystery of why Cortosis is in play and who would have access to it? Then we get our answer in this episode of what that Cortosis was being used for. edit: Well, at least they mentioned it now in episode 6.
That's like all the manchildren who honestly expected people to sit through a dozen hours of sun-par cartoons because the Ahsoka show couldn't be arsed to tell the viewer ANYTHING about its characters, story or world
Just to clarify one point, smile-o ren is wearing a mask and gauntlet made of cortosis. It's a metal known to be able to short out light sabers in legends. That's why he can headbutt a light saber. That is all. Continue flaming this show
Yeah i left a comment saying that, it's knowledge from the time i was a star wars fan. by the way wasn't Vader's cape made of cortosis to protect his back? I think i read that before.
Wow, sure would have been nice if they'd included that and other awesome things from the extended Star Wars universe. Now fans have to do homework to understand why this writing has some mild creativity in it, yet is executed in a way where unless you know it, it doesn't make any sense.
@@justchilling7594 No, the REAL question is who the hell bothered to look that detail up? They've pretty much stated and shown that they don't know crap about Star Wars lore, so where did this come from?

Or, maybe 'this' mask was the "inspiration" Darth Vader and Kylo Ren's masks. Wouldn't put it past these "writers" to try and shovel this crap into the canon somehow, and this could be a method of corrupting the past to infect the present and future.
The other brought a dildo light saber
Eh. I think this is a pretty weak criticism in a show you can find plenty of REAL criticism for. This is a 'I'm looking for things to dislike and choosing this one' sort of complaint... like 'bombs don't fall in space!!!!' (in a universe where we've accepted sound in space for decades)
Star Wars is known for having helmets... it's a pretty straight up Star Wars thing for baddies to have fancy or 'frightening' helmets, and for better or worse, I think this one is actually one of the cooler ones in Star Wars history... ESPECIALLY for a Sith who WOULD be looking to appear intimidating to people. It makes him look like a grinning psychopaths, and a Sith would think 'this is cool!' cause deep DEEEEEEP down, all Sith are coomers.
Probably brought their butt plug as well with amyl nitrate.
@@lenajohnson6179the reason for the helmet 🪖 is because it's a rare metal that deflects lightsabers. It was non canon but they made it canon.
Also supposedly it can block Jedi mind trick thoughts and mind reading like Magneto's helmet ⛑️

Remember, they said they were going to top the duel in The Phantom Menace. Their words!! My friends and I had better fight choreography in our backyards with broomsticks.
It's embarrassing that people are tripping over themselves to compliment the atrocious choreography when the only reason they really like it is because the characters are rapidly killed off

The budget is mental. £180m could buy roughly 124,137,931 Greggs sausage rolls.
That would be a death sentence for me.
Could you recalculate that for Greggs sausage rolls with the hot drink option.
👀
Dollars, not pounds, so only 98,068,965 sausage rolls, but that's so a whole lot of Greggs.
Is that individual sausage rolls or the 4 pack?
So remember when everyone was wondering why the jedi didn't mind read the apothecary in episode two, dispite being shown to do exactly that multiple times for lesser reasons?
Turns out, it's because that would have told them exactly who the sith was four episodes earlier. Thanks, Disney. I hate it.
And jedi is not a mind reader, more a reader of emotion. They can sense changes in emotion, and their heightened reflexes allow them to see slightly into the future. They DO have abilities that can compell people to speak their mind, and it takes a strong mind to resist that influence.
Nah, Smilelo was using the force on the Jedi. He has been in control of everyone the whole time!!😆😆
There's a game called Two Worlds where the big bad appears very early in the game, and is meant to be no match for you, but there's a way to cheese and kill him, and that actually counts as killing him and winning the game, since his villainy never happens then.
Funny how a random jank game people laugh at figures out the issue with this kind of plot better than one of the most expensive shows ever made for one of the greatest franchises ever made (or rather, what had once been, at least).
@@cattrucker8257 Wait, wdym he's supposed to be no match for you?
@@wdf70 You obviously read different books and watched different movies than I did. Seeing into the future has nothing to do with reflexes, it a force power, Yoda and Luke both use it while meditating and sitting perfectly still. In combat, their force enhanced reflexes allow them to ACT on that future sight to avoid being hit or killed, unless against a Jedi or Sith that has better focus and can see another move ahead than you can. This is why force users like using distraction in combat, to throw off the focus game of the opponent.

Nothing in the original episode 4-6 even comes close. Maybe the scene with Darth Maul or Luke and Anakin can be argued to be better. However no one can say the fighting in episode 5 was trash... Compared to what? Rey's fight scenes ? I asked which scenes in any other Stars can be viewed side to side with episode 5 and it's trash. That's when you realize these guys are as agenda driven as Disney. Bros just trying to make bank. I was watching Star Wars Theory's watch alone because I don't have Disney plus. I was wondering why bro wasn't saying nothing, bro silent the entire episode. He knew it had leveled up You guys are too biased.

That three second Naked Gun bit was more entertaining, more suspenseful, and better acted than anything Disney Star Wars has done in years 😅
It would be so easy to justify a prolonged battle with a padawan.
The Sith, facing a padawan, is amused and intentionally prolongs the fight out of sadism and overconfidence. Death from a thousand cuts.
The padawan absolutely isn't in control, but manages to survive out of doggedness.
But you know, that would go against the whole girl power narrative.
THAT would have been actually awesome! But it's waaaaaaaaay too bold and intelligent for the writers and showrunner of this crapfest.
So, now they want us to accept that "Palpatine is alive somehow", a Palpatine usurping the name of Skywalker, Boba Fett "somehow lives" and worst of all, 100 before anything of that, there was a material that could, not only withstand but also, disrupt the working lightsaber, and after 100 years no one knows about that? Also, a guy that was born 20 years later is "somehow alive" 20 years before. And somehow those who are refusing all of that are "bad guys" in this story? Stars Wars: A Somehow Saga, acronym speaks for itself.
So I suppose we should head-canon that once you become a Jedi Master in Disney Canon you lose most of your skills and common sense, because there’s no way a Padawan of all people can hold her own better than one who has mastered the Jedi arts.
Remember Ray? She could fight a trained Sith having had NO training and having never seen a lightsaber before! At least we saw "Padawan of the Year 2024" actually being trained - allegedly.
To be fair.. Obi Wan defeated Darth Maul as a Padawan after Maul defeated his master. 🤷🏻♂️
I think the reason has less to do with a Jedi's rank and more to do with the Jedi's *chromosomes.*
The green lady is the Sith master - which explains why she doesn’t want the Council to know. Which also makes Ki-adi Mundi a useful idiot.
Less likely. Her character was from their dumb ass High Republic Comics, where she is apparently younger, and MUCH better looking.
Nah, they're clearly sith plants - to better counter the Jedi
No, I’m pretty sure that they’ll just coverup the existence of the Sith because it’s “bad PR”, which seems to be her M.O. since the first episode.
Isn’t the green lady Leslie Headland’s , Harvey Weinstein’s former personal assistant, girlfriend or something? No way are they gonna make her the bad guy. She has to be the best of the best. lol.
@@thundergodcid960 maybe. Jedi are very inefficient. "The evil will always triumph, because good is dumb". Their counterintel is non-existent, they have no understanding of the term "balance", no backup plans, no nothing. Always reacting to events, never being proactive.

Those Jedi's probably got their lightsabers in Galaxy's Edge, as they break easily too!
Reminds me how when GE opened and I learned how they're charging 200 bucks for plastic that easily breaks and you can barely customize, I went right on Etsy, and found a metal crafted, battery operated hilt for around 150. Was very happy haha.
tbh that the part of the story i have the least problem with, cortosis exist in new canon according to "Thrawn - Alliances" one of the thrawn books in the new canon
however it needs to be explained how it got here, in the book its a kind of secret project of Palpatine, and Anakin destroys the factory.
It is in the meanwhile explained and showed as a material that absorbs blaster fire and turns lightsabers off on contact.
The main issue is, where is the dam explaination and how did it get here worked into armor? Bc the main issues before the secret project was actually working the material into something useful.

GREAT JOB LESBO HEADLAND! 👏👏👏
The activists assume gender all the time but never get called on it. According to them even if you are right about their preferred gender, assuming is a hate crime.
Old Smilo Ren's helmet and braces are made of cortosis, a rare brittle metal in canon that could cause lightsabers to short circuit.(actually canon consistent)
If there's a writer in this show that knows that specialised piece of Starwars lore, how come eveything else is so cat shit stinking, there's absolutely no excuse.
Why doesn't Sol know what a Sith is????? Unbelievable.
The biggest sith rule, the rule of 2. Which means discount Ezra Millar is the apprentice, which means Maul's half sister is the master and my biggest fear is that they are going to reton Darth Plagueis and turn him into a half zabrak female.
Needs to be explained to the audience in the episode. Just like they explained the force in the original Star Wars, midiclorians in Phantom Menace, etc. Otherwise, it doesn't make sense to general audiences.
I had forgotten about Cortosis when the episode came out, so I thought Disney was just breaking the lightsaber lore again until someone mentioned it.
The thing is, he had this ability, but he doesn't actually really use it. Every time he blocks a lightsaber he should just instantly kill someone. One of the things movies almost never do is show how people use armor. If your opponent is about to hit you somewhere you basically can't be hurt, you don't defend beyond what you're already passively doing and you use the time to land a fatal blow to them. You walk into a strike that does nothing to you and decapitate them. The other thing is the properties of this just aren't explained, it blocks lightsabers (how?) which is apparently a special property, but it's also apparently brittle so a mundane and lame hit breaks it. This is consistent with what it's supposed to be, but the audience has no framework for what it's supposed to be so both features, especially one after the other seem incredulous. A lightsaber is supposed to cut basically anything, so the first thing would need explanation, and the audience is mostly likely to assume that material is basically invincible. But then it's destroyed by just hitting it a little without saying it's brittle.
@@jakeviolet2195 What happened to show don't tell? They showed us it disabled the lightsabers. There shouldn't be anything you should have to tell about it.

With the Smilo Ren being Ezra reveal, you have to remember that the writers are bad at their jobs. All the things that made him seem like a blatant red herring? The writers thought those were subtle clues. They didn’t realize they were leaving a mountain of neon-bright evidence that pointed to the one and only suspect.
...huh. This is actually a good time to roll out the Glass Onion ‘No! It’s just dumb’ meme.
How many times has Osha literally fallen flat on her face now? Can see why she wasn't suitable for Jedi, likely to fall face first onto her saber.
If only we could be so lucky…
The writers *have* to be intentionally writing this show as badly as possibly just to troll everyone at the cost of $180 million, it's mindboggling how stupid that is but it is the only logical conclusion I can come up with.
Just once, when everyone else is firing up their multi colored toy sticks, have someone step out of the tree line with a sawed off pump shot gun.

I love how lightsabers aren't dangerous anymore. Headbutt them, punch them, get stabbed by them. Nah it'll be fine.
Dude had a Cortosis metal arm band and helmet. It short-circuits lightsabers for a minute. It's already in legends.
Oh no, they are still quite dangerous. But only when the plot requires them to be. 😇
@@darthvader2623 tbh i thought of that too, but that wrecks it even more, cortosis also exist in new canon according to "Thrawn - Alliances", however the issue was the workability of the material, during the clone wars Palpatines secret project managed to actually work it into armor and droids but that technology got lost again when anakin destroyed the factory. So now almost a century earlier we already have armor of that stuff? It doesnt make sense and needs to be explained further ....

Back in the day, when short stories were submitted to small press magazines by unknown authors, they would be put into a "slush pile" that would be assigned to editors and readers for review.
In most cases, these stories were like The Acolyte: full of amateur mistakes, errors in logic, inconsistent tone and character behavior, or just full of overused, boring, or dumb ideas. As a result, most were passed over and duly rejected.
Fan fiction is basically "slush pile" level writing that has been made public. Unfortunately, the fan fiction writer, often has no idea whatsoever just how bad their work really is; in most cases, they actually think it's good.
Because they have no understanding of what makes for good writing, they are simply beyond help. These are the people who, in Clarion Writer workshops, would argue with the visiting professor over the dumbest things, not realizing that they have no clue what they're doing. Dunning-Kruger is a real thing.
This show is clearly "slush pile" level, written by people who, in any other medium, would have been sent a rejection letter in the mail. Clearly, there were a lot of untalented and uninformed people making the decisions for this show. For $180M, however, you would think that they could at least hire someone to call out the glaring list of basic problems and errors in logic.
The fact that this show was given the green light and allowed to see the light of day shows you just how deeply rooted the incompetence at Disney really is; KK, obviously, saw no problem with it. This should scare their shareholders to no end.
Ultimately, though, when you hire people based on DEI, this is what you get. Without meritocratic hiring practices, you don't get the best person/people for the job--you just get fan fiction writers and other untalented people who produce awful things like The Acolyte.
Makes me wonder where the hell Disney thinks it will take Star Wars after this disaster ends in a few weeks. There’s no way they could justify investing in more movies.
"Meet me back at plot..." LOL, I'm dying.
It has nothing to do with budget and everything to do with letting these female actors get away with not putting in work. Choreography is actual work. So is getting in shape. DEI at it's finest.
The armor that shut off the lightsabers is known as Cortosis, a rare and brittle EU/Legend material. This show doesn't explain what it is and expects you to just roll with it.
I've seen people say that they're fine with it not being explained in the show because they already knew about it, which is dumb. Just because you knew doesn't mean the next person does. An easy solution to this would be during the Jedi's investigation in an earlier episode, a padawan stumbles across raw Cortosis and asks about it. They get a brief explanation of what it is and what it does, and adds to the mystery of why Cortosis is in play and who would have access to it? Then we get our answer in this episode of what that Cortosis was being used for.
edit: Well, at least they mentioned it now in episode 6.
Yeah normal writing.
Do you know how obscure this super metal is? Was it only in a one of book?
Why didn't Vader make his armor out of that material?
That's like all the manchildren who honestly expected people to sit through a dozen hours of sun-par cartoons because the Ahsoka show couldn't be arsed to tell the viewer ANYTHING about its characters, story or world
Just to clarify one point, smile-o ren is wearing a mask and gauntlet made of cortosis. It's a metal known to be able to short out light sabers in legends. That's why he can headbutt a light saber. That is all. Continue flaming this show
Yeah i left a comment saying that, it's knowledge from the time i was a star wars fan. by the way wasn't Vader's cape made of cortosis to protect his back? I think i read that before.
Wow, sure would have been nice if they'd included that and other awesome things from the extended Star Wars universe. Now fans have to do homework to understand why this writing has some mild creativity in it, yet is executed in a way where unless you know it, it doesn't make any sense.
And where was this copium announced?
The real question is did they know this when they wrote this?
@@justchilling7594 No, the REAL question is who the hell bothered to look that detail up? They've pretty much stated and shown that they don't know crap about Star Wars lore, so where did this come from?
