Hey WG! The Acolyte aside, I hope you’re having a great summer. The Acolyte is so bad that now I’m really really looking forward to Andor to cleanse the pallet. There’s not much to look forward to nowadays. Hopefully Deadpool v Wolverine is good. Cheers!
Yeah, you don’t have to watch it. Watch House of the Dragon instead. What can I say, you guys got my best first and last take at a review, warts and all. I can’t pronounce any of this shit anymore.
I haven’t been reviewing it, but maybe I should. The first season is slow, but all the set ups are paying off now in the second season. The all-around production is so much more sophisticated than what we’re getting from Star Wars.
And here I thought we may have something with Manny Jacinto's Qimir after Episode 6. What a fool I was. A mystery not worth keeping. And still no idea what Qimir's deal exactly is. 🙄
Lol, definitely a secret not worth keeping. Yeah, I was sort of on board for what they were trying to do last episode. Why can’t they give us house of the dragon quality? HBO needs to do Star Wars.
Lol, I don’t know how to pronounce any of this crap anymore. The way I pronounced all this stuff back in the late 70s and early 80s is the way I’m stuck doing it. It’s too late for me. You can’t teach an old Ronto new Jedi tricks.
I thought it was hilarious how they decided to give the Wookie Jedi a Chewbacca sound effect for literally every movement he makes during the fight. It sounds straight up like someone spamming buttons on a Chewbacca sound board and basically turned the whole fight into comedy for me. So sad what Star Wars has come to.
I had hopes of this second flashback episode making things make sense, but unfortunately it did the opposite. At this point I just hope they are cutting Plageuis / Tenebrous from the finale to exclude them from whatever this show was. Should have just made a sith show, no twins, no witches.
Yeah, a show about a young Palpatine and Darth Plagueis would’ve been cool. Or Tenebrous. I miss the old days when Lucasfilm gave us cool expanded universe stuff. They should’ve just made all of the old books into the television shows. It was all right there.
I agree that Sol and later the group of Jedi breaking into the fortress was not something Jedi would do. They may have been concerned about an unknown force cult that was raising twins, but they would have kept them under low key surveillance for a while. Mother Aniseya possessing Torbin was straight up evil and what was she trying to do to Mae when she was "dissolving" her? No wonder Sol whipped out his lightsaber. Both Sol and Torbin are out of control emotionally. This show is a mess. I have no idea what point the showrunners were even trying to make. At least we didn't have to listen to the stupid chant again.
I was thinking the same thing. They must secretly know that chant sucks. I was expecting the show to rub the chant in our faces again. Yeah, on Tuesday nights I can either watch the news which isn’t really news or the acolyte. I guess it’s the accolade. Time to celebrate though, this week is the final episode. 🎉
I couldn't believe they wasted the penultimate episode on a straight recap! Was it supposed to be a twist that Sol was there watching them on Brendock? Or that the Jedi killed the witches? Because I felt that both those things were already established and didn't need to be shown. Also, the constant presence of Brendock as a location in every episode has been and continues to be a major frustration. This is supposed to be Star Wars and its annoying that the whole show essentially takes place in one location.
@@EvrydayErik Right? We're so spoiled with House of the Dragon. HotD gave us mostly unknown actors and it was incredible because the writing is good. Now here comes Star Wars with Trinity, Tommen from GoT, Daphne Keen from His Dark Materials, and the Squid Game guy.... and they wasted absolutely ALL of them!
I'm feeling bad for you watching complete poop 💩 but man, this is entertaining content. The explanations and defining the moments are classic...humor of a serious ?show?
Yeah, I really should review things that I like, like the house of the dragon. But there’s only one episode of the Acolyte left. So next week I get to celebrate it’s over. Finally! I hope you get something out of my low effort videos. I appreciate it!
Man, this was so bad. These writers are no more writers than I am a plumber. Disney know they’re in trouble, their lack of movie releases this year confirms something is very much up in the mizzle hizzle. I do like Smylo Ren though, imagine if the HBO writers had this..
Episode 7 destroyed any interest in buying merch from this story even if I like the figures. Sol is an ass. I hate this bad cop story. I’m rooting for Stranger to kill more of these bad cops. I agree make it fun. I’m hoping beyond hope Skeleton Crew is fun. This Acolyte show is shaping up to a big streaming pile of no fun. By the way Sol. Hold the children with the Force and forget the broken bridge. You ass. I’m pissed because I liked Sol for some reason. It may have been because I was looking for a likable character in this show and I attached that hope to him. He’s terrible! I mean freaking terrible. What was it these witches were doing that indicated a bad environment to raise them? Make them pull the thread and try to knock each other down? Get tattoos? There weren’t any men? This whole concept is crap! The writing makes Jedi look horrible. I want less of this kind of stories with Jedi and more from Tales of the Jedi. Acolyte is crap. By the way if the Jedi had any power to read Sol/Indara, Kalnacca/other dude they see through the lie. Luke did even as a very novice Jedi. He was dooped by Palpatine but everyone is. Acolyte is crap. I feel betrayed for rooting for crappy characters. I have chosen to stop watching. I don’t care how the story ends. Hopefully it’s Osha stabbing Sol or forgiving him for killing her mom. Maybe she can rise above it like Ahsoka did mostly. I’m sure the ending will have whip Jedi facing Stranger. I hope he wins. These Jedi are terrible. Arrrggggh!
Wo! Prophet you’re coming in hot this week! And you’re not wrong. Yeah they should just do a live action tales of the Jedi. Those are really cool stories. I thought I liked Sol, but not now. I can’t get behind any of these Jedi. Trinity was OK. I will also be rooting for the stranger. I forgot about skeleton crew. Something like that has potential because we have no expectations for it. I think next week is the finale, so it’s almost over. No lie I’m saving a lot of money, not buying merch from the shows. Although they did get me for the Haslab Cantina.
"Midol chlamydian" hilarious Erik!
You know, I think my videos are better when I only do one take. From now on I’m gonna give it to you raw.
Great review man! That last episode was hard on the eyes for sure.
Hey WG! The Acolyte aside, I hope you’re having a great summer. The Acolyte is so bad that now I’m really really looking forward to Andor to cleanse the pallet. There’s not much to look forward to nowadays. Hopefully Deadpool v Wolverine is good. Cheers!
My favorite part was when Obi-Wan turned to Yoda and said, "Are we the baddies?"
Nintendo should make a video game about the acolyte. I’ll leave my door open and you can come over and beat it.
Yup, the PDF file force was STRONG with Sol! Vurp 🤢
Lol, it certainly was. Only one more episode to go. And then I can cancel Disney+.
@@EvrydayErik It’s amazing how Disney ruined both Star Wars and Marvel!
Hey Double E! The "M Count" LOL Great review, didn't get to watch it. Thank you soo much for sitting through this "Crapolyte" show. Appreciate it !!
Yeah, you don’t have to watch it. Watch House of the Dragon instead. What can I say, you guys got my best first and last take at a review, warts and all. I can’t pronounce any of this shit anymore.
that's the problem...the writers purposely make it not fun because the fans want it to be fun lol!
Lol, i’m thinking of that Seinfeld soup guy. “No fun for you”
Yea House of the dragon review haven't watched it but sounds good
I haven’t been reviewing it, but maybe I should. The first season is slow, but all the set ups are paying off now in the second season. The all-around production is so much more sophisticated than what we’re getting from Star Wars.
I was hoping for more Smilo Ren skinny dipping🍷😔
Lol, Next week, guaranteed.
And here I thought we may have something with Manny Jacinto's Qimir after Episode 6. What a fool I was. A mystery not worth keeping. And still no idea what Qimir's deal exactly is. 🙄
Lol, definitely a secret not worth keeping. Yeah, I was sort of on board for what they were trying to do last episode. Why can’t they give us house of the dragon quality? HBO needs to do Star Wars.
@@EvrydayErik That's the real mystery which needs solving. 😉
What a disaster. Completely expected it though. 😕
Yeah, pretty much what everybody expected. I need Andor to come back to cleanse the pallet. Kennedy has to go.
Why didn't Sol just lift and move the girls?
Lol, because
the force is and is not whatever a bad writer needs it to be. You’re totally right, the scene was so stupid.
I’m gonna start pronouncing “Wookie’ like you do now. Thanks for watching so I don’t have to👍🏻👍🏻
Lol, I don’t know how to pronounce any of this crap anymore. The way I pronounced all this stuff back in the late 70s and early 80s is the way I’m stuck doing it. It’s too late for me. You can’t teach an old Ronto new Jedi tricks.

Lol, we miss Ben Bertt. Now they’re just randomly inserting star wars sounds. I think AI would do a better job.
I had hopes of this second flashback episode making things make sense, but unfortunately it did the opposite. At this point I just hope they are cutting Plageuis / Tenebrous from the finale to exclude them from whatever this show was.

Lol, it’s so shocking how bad this looks next to House of the Dragon. Star Wars deserves the HBO treatment. They need to purge Lucasfilm.

Totally agree. HBO would know how to handle Star Wars. Going from house of the dragon to this, such a stark difference in production.
