OUTRO MUSIC: “Last Stop” by Karl Casey @ White Bat Audio
I'm old as dirt and I have never seen such a perfectly square face in my entire life.
They said “be there or be square” and she didn’t just not show, but went the opposite direction
I knew a guy in junior high that had a _really_ square face, but even he wasn't *this* square. This bitch has sharp corners.
Hence: "Lego Headland".
Which one has the square face?
The glasses really tie the square together.
I love how many times she confessed she did not even know certain elements that were in her own story. Peak Fire, that.
frfr no cap this is some ohio ass rizz she does NOT understand the assignment
We’re so back peak fire bro
In the latest interview, she said that it wasn't confirmed that the witches created Osha and Mae and that it would be explained in episode 8. ...Even though the witches literally already said that they created them in episode 3. I guess the Jedi aren't the only liars in the show, then?
frfr so true king this shit aint skibidi this slayqueen is PURE cap no fax her ohio rizz is rancid and she FO SHO does NOT understand the assignment 😠
The best was when she said they couldn’t cast identical twins to play identical twins because she couldn’t tell them apart, even though they gave one of the characters a massive tattoo on their forehead
Millions of people itching to write for Star Wars.
Thousands of competent, premier writers with excellent directions.
And they chose *her.*
I can only assume, since the quality doesn’t exist, that she got her position through her networking connections.
It speaks volumes about Disney’s ownership and respect.
Same with that director who they announced for the new Rey film, Chinoy or whatever. I get the impression these are women who rub shoulders with KK at social events and that's the whole story of how they got a job on Star Wars.
Networking by buttering each other up is how they get jobs they clearly aren't qualified for. Why else is Chris Stuckman now trying to avoid bad mouthing films he thinks sucks?
Yup! 100% 👏👏👏
She has Weinstein dirt about other Hollywood people.
She’s deep into the industry, she’s got dirt on so many of Weinstein’s friends. She’s not going anywhere, unfortunately.
for a writer she seemed to struggle to find words and form coherent sentences, never mind the whole she has no idea about writing for star wars
It's time for the Jedis to take some Ls.
Right? I SUCK at speaking, too, even though I dabble in writing. Sometimes a simple, common word will suddenly just *evaporate* from my brain. But I can at least go around it by _describing_ what I mean/the word's definition because the information is there, I just suck at delivering it verbally. Example: human = relatable = he's like us, or whatever Leslie was getting at.
But that's the thing, isn't it? I genuinely don't think Leslie knows what she's talking about. The information _isn't_ there for her. I think any notes she has on the characters are _someone else's,_ that they're brief, and that she never had them elaborated on.
@@TaoScribbleThey use a lot of words to disguise the fact that they have said nothing
YES! Omg I just realized when I saw this before. Around 2001 a comic writer ruined the sexy, fun, witty, winner Catwoman and replaced her with the kind of butch, ugly, victimized girl boss that we're all sick of today. As today, it FAILED, as today, they mocked and attacked the fans who rejected it, _then as now they faked "success" that dumb people believed._ Anyway, when the creep finally shipped out to Marvel he gave an interview taking pot shots at his haters, and it was exactly what you said here: you can't belueve this clown was a writer because he couldn't string words together in a sentence that meant anything. The words didn't even flow. The structure was clunky. Dude couldn't put his thoughts into words whike _talking._ Who tf wrote his scripts for him?
*Walks in holding skateboard over shoulder*
"You know, I'm something of a human myself."
How do you do, fellow humans? Never mind my abnormally large cranium and third eye. I'm just like you!
For a "writer," she's incredibly scatterbrained about her own story and characters.
It seems like this is the first time she's even thought about most of these questions.
This interview just shows how terrible she is at writing.
"I think...", "It feels like...", "It seems..."
If you don't know, why are you running the show?
*Is a writer*
*Can't even elaborate on the things she wrote*
That and it just confirms she is surrounded by yes men that approved or didn't want the headache of challening her garbage ideas
That or she didn't actually write anything, and just pitched character concepts. And then when the show got greenlit, she only cared about the aesthetics (lightsaber color choices were "purely aesthetic", the important thing to portray was Quimir's "character design") and left any and all writing to everyone else. ...And none of those people shared notes. XD
@@harbl99 in one of the articles she said "I believe Anasaya is turning into the force" describing that moment when she turns into a smoke demon. Like, wtf is that? "I believe"? You don't know?
"You brought her here" is the same reasoning an abuser would use to shift blame by saying "See what youre making me do?"
She's speaking from experience
As someone who knows this show only through EFAP: no? The point is to highlight the Jedi System that weaponizes children and puts them in dangerous missions without proper training and an evacuation plan in case things go south. Granted, Smilo line is only marginally intelligent because the rest of the world building is r*tarded.
If she's saying _the one admitting a victim into the space/circumstances where they'll suffer abuse_ is the guilty party, she really hasn't thought this through.
I wish sentient organisms were alowed to work for Disney
I don't know man, disney has been a health and safety hazard location for sentient organisms for a while. Gonna need to detox the whole thing from top to bottom first.
Sentient organisms of color, if you please.
Can tell why winestein hired her, perfect accomplice thats too daft to remember what she had for breakfast let alone his dirty laundry.
“Ah. ‘Human Music.’ I like it.”
-Lego Headland
It explains what the makers of the Gladiator II trailer was thinking too.
“This headlamp is terrible”
Bilbo Baggins 2024
*Bulbous Bellbottom*
Guyladriel: "May this Headlamp be a light to you in dark places, when all other lights go out..."
Bilboo in a dark place: "Stupid headlamp's broken!!!"
That she was so proud of the retort from Smilo about Jecki, despite how much wasted potential there was in that, goes to show how utterly vapid the writing is for these shows - they can at best just *approach* potentially interesting ideas.
For real. Smilo could have made a more meaningful comment about the Jedi using child soldiers. Jecki is supposedly a child, and if so Smilo could have made a statement that the Jedi bare some responsibility for sending children out to dangerous situations that endangers their lives. It would be a biased perspective but atleast a more interesting one.
She's so damn bad at giving structured coherent responses. Reminds me of that red carpet moment for writers/showrunners of Madam Web. Just completely empty headed responses from people who barely even know any details about their own shows and have clearly never spent ANY amount of time thinking about them.
If she was just a regular schmegular writer and had to truly pitch this idea in her own words, she would've gotten some head nods, a tight smile and been told "Thank you but no thank you!" And then she never would've heard from Disney again. It's mind boggling how she was given $180 million and allowed to make this show. She screams: I Should've Just Gotten Therapy, It Would've Been Cheaper Than This $180 MILLION DOLLARS!! BULLSHIT. 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ (And also go to school for film making and script writing)
To embarrass oneself, one first must be capable of feeling shame.
Thing with Narcissists: they seal away their personality in a vacuum so nothing can compromise it. Including themselves. No introspection, that includes genuinely absorbing criticism, second guessing their decisions and feeling shame. The only time any of these apply is when they can immediately pass it off onto someone else for blame.
Thus far, both Leslye Headland and Amandla Stenberg have places the blame solely on the fans not being smart enough to understand their story.
They will not feel shame because in their heads they can blame others for the failure of their product, instead of the creative decisions they made.
Her body language indicates she is lying and improvising her answers on the spot.
Her answers also give that away too lol.
She may be lying because her words do not match reality. Her body language, which is different from person to person, is not the reason why she's lying. Stop with the pseudo science.
@@pascalsimioli6777 Lol, body language is not different person-to-person. A person may have some unique physical tics when they're speaking but body language is universal.
@archstanton9073 Body language is regularly inconsistent. It's often completely random and insignificant, people who claim that certain body language means certain things are often totally wrong. Most of the time body language analysis is literally pseudoscience because it's carried out by randoms on the internet who have no idea what they're talking about.
@@VikingKong. Think cops and poker players would complelty disagree with you.
I made this human show for my fellow humans.

Do none of these people ever sit around a table and talk about what makes their characters tick? Is motivation just not a thing for them? So many of the problems in this series were just, "why is this character acting this way?"
Yeah character concept and motivation is required as the story is set up. It's almost as if she had chatGpt write everything and she slapped her name on it.
Well they probably do
But I'm guessing everyone just Yass Queens their way through the entire meeting so there's no actual discussion just affirmation after affirmation of the 1st idea that comes out if the 1st mouth
Better question: Were there people involved, or was it ChatGPT? And if it wasnt, toss the "writers room" of DEI box checks and use ChatGPT because it literally cannot do worse.b
Hollywood showrunners might be spending all of their time on drugs and eyes wide shut parties and then when the time comes to do some actual work, appear on the red carpet, do an interview, answer some questions, then they scramble to learn literally anything about their own projects, like a college student 1 day before the due date or an exam.
I dont consider these people writers. They're children...
16:07 "Yes, I just did something unforgivable... but YOU BROUGHT HER HERE"
Speaking from experience, Les?
*And she looked at the human actor and said, “I can’t distinguish him from an actual human!”*
*So she replaced all the good actors with these actors (Lee Jung-Jae exempted).*
For someone called "Headlamp", she ain't the brightest mind
It's because she has such a massive, bulbous head.
Never said the lamp worked
Rather dim, actually.
It’s interesting that her lone typewriter is an Olivetti Lettera 32, which famously was used exclusively by Cormac McCarthy. It’s like the typewriter you would buy if you want to broadcast “I AM A GOOD WRITER” to people somewhat in the know.
I’m almost certain it’s the Lego typewriter
"Leslye Headlamp Embarrasses Herself"
Do you have any idea how little that narrows it down?
When she talks, I reminded of that Family Guy joke of Stewie convincing Brian to break up with that girl that answers the question like this (high-pitched noise)?Ends every sentence like a question?
Nah comparing her to Jillian is an insult to Jillian
9:50 As an American let me speak blasphemy: Freedom (in isolation) is not a virtue. Freedom with no principled order (law or ethics) is just madness inducing isolation or violent anachary. Interacting with others requires cooperation and thus principled order.
So true RealLifeIronMan
Heresy!!
Which can also be abused in so SO many ways.
What's blasphemous about that? It's literally the basis of Western culture.
I think a problem people have is distinguishing "individualism" from "egotism". The former is a good thing, while the latter very much is not.
Hello my fellow humans.
This whole episode was like Headland's personal GDELB.
So many good clips
This is the result of being incredibly deep in the Hollywood bubble, your only interactions outside of it being social media, and not understand, or perhaps not caring, about writing as a craft. She doesn't understand why the Original Trilogy is so good and why it resonates with so many people, so she takes this very robotic approach to making characters relatable by saying Smilo Ren is "human" and "wants freedom," and at the same time trying to make him seem like a deep villain for saying these things.
I think Leslie keeps using the word "human" when she means "relatable": She used it to describe Torbin wanting to go home, too.
I'm starting to wonder if she gets tripped up over the word or thinks being "human" is special because, _technically,_ they're all aliens, and she equates 'alien' to _'not_ human'. I dunno; I'm just trying to understand her thought process.
Bold of you to assume there was a process.
Well there’s your error: she has no thought process
In episode 8 we find out Coruscant is about a 10 minute trip from Brendok. There's no reason Torbin and the Jedi survey team couldn't have gone home every night. There are _serious_ issues with time and distance in the show.
Hollywood writer with a tenuous grasp on the English language? What's next? Every? Sentence? Ends in? A Queestiooon? Like a? Valley girl?
on the tangent about the shelf, the typewriter probably isn't real, the snow speeder and delorean in the back are lego models, and the typewriter is the same shade of green as the lego one.
Lesbian Headland's default state is embarrassing.
I swear with every single interview I see of her in regards to Star Wars, Leslye Headlund reminds me of the character of Kosinski in the TNG season one episode "Where No One has Gone Before," where he speaks complete nonsense when explaining his formula for increased speeds for warp drive. The only difference is that Kosinski was written by a competent writer, whereas Headlund, you can see the computer "thinking" icon spinning because it's working on Dial-Up and keeps disconnecting before putting fourth a coherent thought.
Unfortunately Disney Lucasfilm obviously doesn't have someone to play the role of The Traveller.
The Smilo is very human. Very easy to use.
It's interesting to see Headlamp given a role she clearly hasn't earned on merit. Kinda like KK over at Disney. It's almost as if they might know where certain cadavers are interred.
Russian Doll was a hit though. She did "earn" another show.
Holy shit, Leslie is actually an airhead lmao
Wrong. She ripped the helmet off from ELFEN LIED.. y'all have been told this a million times already..
Has anyone noticed that her standard position is to look away from people in fact she only glances in the interviewer's eyes a few times and only for a split second at a time and then the rest of the time she's looking away this girl doesn't even have the ability to connect through I contact one-on-one with another person
Tbf, I don't have to stare into your soul to indicate I'm engaged in the conversation. Eye contact really doesn't mean anything. Her eye contact isn't the issue, it's the fact that what she's saying shows she doesn't know what tf she's doing.
Yes yes yes, Eye contact means different things for many people.
> though Eye contact symbolizes attention, even investment of what is being said.// i close my Eyes + fold my arms, nodding (when im told something enlightening.) \\ all that said, if we Cannot Meet Eye-to-Eye ever while talking, nothing feels registered and I've fallen into "Small talk."
As an autistic I feel personally attacked… EYES ARE SCARY
Nah fr tho 😂 it can definitely indicate someone who is uncomfortable or in a lot of cases, lying. But it can also indicate she’s searching deeply into her mind (can’t be too deep) for something to say. I’m not a body language expert, but aversion to eye contact can mean many things, being disinterested in the conversation usually isn’t the case. It’s also a lot different when you’re talking to someone over a computer, it can be very difficult to make eye contact with someone when they’re not actually there with you in person. Not defending Headlamp, she’s denser than a black hole, but the lack of eye contact and looking around doesn’t really mean much to me, just shows she has to think deeply about what she wants to say (meaning it’s not something that she’s thought about often).
@@jontaehall2740 I think there is some truth to both, but it's not so much about the eye contact as it is about her seeming not to have thought about what she is saying beforehand. It's the same energy as "didn't read the book, now I gotta do the book report"
If I'm having a conversation I'll look away if I'm thinking or occupied with another task but if the other person is talking, you have to give eye contact...
12:46 "You're right, no human being would stack books like this." -- Dr. Peter Vankman
Minecraft Leslye is explaining something she wrote like a kid trying to b.s a book report she never read. I wonder how many dirty secrets she knew for Disney and LucasFilm to have her try and cook in Star Wars
To be fair, the acolyte is based on a fanfic written by a teen and only very crudely converted to the Star Wars universe.
You're the creator! How do you not know the answers to these questions??
I come up with more motivations and backstory for an NPC in one of my TTRPG games than she appears to have done for a rather important character in her story… goddam.
I'm more coherent with my improv Dnd games than she is with the victims she sent to big bad Harvey.
Probably because you most likely give a shit. Unlike these show runners
@BackseatGamer-o4j or any of the Kotor games.
@BackseatGamer-o4j can I go for around 200 dollars.
She's keeps specifying that the writers, characters and audiences are human 🤣 Leslye herself is, of course, Cylon
Did she just assume our species!?
I love how Fringy is better at defending the Acolyte than the person who made it lol
Blackrock should be demanding a refund.
"My villain is sympathetic because he says "I love freedom" and humans also love freedom"
When leslye watched the prequels and sheev said "I love democracy" did she think "wow, I also love democracy, palpatine must be really conflicted about this'
Im convinced now that the Acolyte was the first attempt at writing a show purley from a diversity checklist.
No script, no story, no direction, just "the box says the bad guy isnt actually bad...so... just say he was actually innocent"
Lizard people dude. Lizard people.
Part of me feels we need to keep a eye/ear out for creatives that respond to questions with lines like “we definitely thought of that, there were discussions we had about that.” Idk personally I find those answers disturbing.
Why? That's what they SHOULD say.
She’s hardly thought about any of these things… it’s appalling
that is one of the cheapest shelf units you can buy from Ikea. Set dressing!
I never really got in on the meme movie The Room..... but The Acolyte is my The Room. It's hella entertaining seeing how many different ways the show fails or trips over itself.
I choose to view this as in-universe propaganda made by the Sith to smear the Jedi.... We just need to convince Lesley that Batchal is a Star Wars term.
The funny thing is, the premise you provided is an interesting way to say "we were being terrible on purpose*. And I doubt they're smart enough to think of that, and too prideful to admit their content being awful
Lesbian Headlamp is just as void and vacuous as her tv show, no one is surprised by this
someone mentioned it in the live chat but that trypewriter is a lego set
So she’s a victim blamer. Did not see that coming by a parsec.
She's talking about humans as if she's an alien.
>I wrote a human character so you- we humans could all relate to him!
>maybe not the murder 👉👈
you can’t convince me this is not an escaped chatgpt beta wearing a human coat
Dude, I get it if you can't find the words to accurately express the way you feel about things or how you wanted to make your character, but she's making it seem like she has no idea what she wrote or doesn't care, and I don't know which one is worse
After seeing this I'm prepared to bet my life savings that The Acolyte was written by AI, and Leslie Squareheadland didnt revise for the interview.
I came to the same conclusion but didn't put it so succinctly. Thank you.
headlamp is trying SO hard to be SO deep.
YASSS YASSSS
What is her background? Did she go to some Ivy League? She sounds like an incredibly soft thinker. I would think people writing long stories (in this case a multi-episode series) would need to be well-read, and used to analyzing literature. She sounds like a high schooler trying to b.s. her way through a book report for a book she skimmed.
Remember when being a Sith made your skin scarred and gray and your eyes turn yellow? Now it just makes you hot.
No, I don't remember that. Palpatine didn't look like that until the very end of the prequels. Dooku didn't look like that. Anakin looked slightly like that in one shot before he was cut up and barbecued. Maul looked weird, because of his species, but not "scarred and gray." And from what I know of the EU, the several previous Sith lords were rich and powerful people, operating in public, so I doubt they looked like vampires.
@@billjacobs521 Play Knights of the Old Republic...
It would be so nice if we could blame all these bad tv series decisions on “the man with the gun”.
Such a simple explanation would be great.
Mr. EFAP highlights, sir, i dont know if you read this, but are you affiliated with EFAP? I know they've said before they have no problem with this style of content, I just want to know whether i am also supporting the official podcast. Thank you!
Yes, you can find the link to this channel in the description of the latest EFAP episodes.
@@EFAPHighlights wonderful. I didn't want a guilty conscience. Thanks!
I've never heard her before. Why does she sound exactly how I expected?
This interview is the most she has thought about the show.
This might as well be the interview for a lot of these "writers." 😂😂 I can hear the AOL dial up tone everytime.
Is it me or does she look like a gender swapped Russell T. Davies?
She sounds like she wrote her show with the same approach I took for my essays in high school. Just type something up, give it a read for any punctuation and grammar errors, then submit it. All the night before it's due.
The fact that NOT ONE SOUL has made the joke about her looking like that girl that got memed into hell for looking like Thwomp is why the SW community deserved Acolyte
Imagine a conversation between her and the VP cackler x-D
The problem with people that have no shame is they don't care about embarrassing themselves, the Acolyte is a testament to this, unfortunately for SW fans
As she made it up as,she went along and scapbooked everything, then of course she has no idea behind the character motivations, there were none
So...she wrote this to appeal to humans. She missed her mark.
I love how Leslye Headland is always on Acolyte thumbnails, always held against Hollywood, always hitting where it hurts, for the opposite reasons as Sydney Sweeney.
Watching Leslye struggle to explain the antagonist of HER SHOW, is all the evidence I need to gather that she has no passion for storytelling.
My graduation for creative writing is in 2 days, and I've written a fair share of villains over that time. And I can tell you very easily about their character, motivations and the kind of villain that they are.
Leslye however is not a fresh graduate, she is a SHOW RUNNER, she should be able to say very easily, what makes Smilo tick. If the writer of a show can not explain their characters without using overly simple language or vague descriptions, they should not be writing for a show
"I too am a hew-mon like the rest of you. I can relate to you because of the fact that I am a hew-mon."
Just imagine if mauler and his friends did a movie with a Holywood budget....
7 Bilion in sales....
Oh yes, i totally relate to Smilo - he's so ... well ... there is so much. He has a really funny looking helmet, so that's great.
I have a theory that The Acolyte was actually written by an experimental AI. And that Headland is just the face of the writing in order to hide that. It would make sense considering how weird and soulless the show feels overall and how little she is able to explain about it.
To be fair "You brought her here" makes sense because Smilo is dark side. He's simply saying "Why did you bring her to a fight if you want her to be treated like a non-combatant?"
It does, yeah. But, like, that's basically it--it makes sense and is a bit of a jab at the idea of bringing someone so young to a life-or-death situation. It doesn't go anywhere.
But what made Smilo turn to the dark side? Was it the whip mark the audience assumes came from Jedi Master Nepo? Little Platoon Described Osha and Mae as McMuffin's rather than characters because they go where ever the story needs them to go. Finally, regardless of what happened in episode 8, episode 7 vindicated the Jedi. They used the Force to DEFEND themselves from the Communist Cult Space witches.
How the fuck are these not the most amateur writers and directors they could've hired?! They legitimately struggle to answer basic questions of their own creation as if they are trying to come up with the reasons on the spot! I've seen DND DMs do better than this!
How in God's name do you not just reflexively say "Spoilers, can't tell," to a question like the interviewer asked about Smilo Ren's motives? I'd have accepted that answer, no matter how much I hate this show.
This is the first time I hear the name "Smilo Ren", and I legit thought it was a joke the first time they said it.
It is a joke, but they've been calling him that since before the show launched. I'm surprised you haven't heard it because it's spread pretty wide.
Also, while I'm feeling quite stupid for not recognizing an actual joke, I guess it says something about my expectations for the franchise that I am willing to believe it's an actual name.
Kinesic Interviewing - her eye movements suggest "Visual Recall" and very little "Self Thinking" and "Emotional Recall."
Based on a number of nonverbal clues - and some verbal ones - I am beginning to suspect this is not even really HER project. She depicts little emotional connection to the characters SHE has supposedly written?
Her eyes keep going "Upper Left," like she's recalling what she is SUPPOSED to say or what she has READ about the story - like an actor trying to recall her lines.
Maybe this is not correct, but I do get that vibe from her. I have always interpreted her as fake in any interview, but this solidifies it in my mind.
Amateur hour with Leslye Headlamp 🙄
Listening to you guys made me laugh 🤣
Also you made a lot of sense and good points.
Leave it to this hack Leslye Headlamp to screw up a tv show set in the Star Wars universe.
I bet that's not even her room
How can you embarrass yourself when you are an embarrassment.
I wonder if her parents had any children who lived.
Creative writing classes (even the bad ones) can literally get better entry level writing done better than these ‘writers’
Understanding your characters motivation and what makes them tick is one of the first things you do.
You can literally do the bare minimum write down a basic mock social media account style character profile, then just look at it, put that character into a living breathing world and it’s really easy from there.
What does this person do?
How?
Why?
What problems do they face?
How do they plan to counter said problems?
What’s their goal in life?
Why?
Etc. basic entry level shit and they did and prepared none of it.
he's counter cultural in the way he's objectified instead of the women
(Lindsay Ellis + Red from OSP) × money = Leslye Headland.
Noooooo, it's Lesbian Headlamp
One thought asking A LOT here.
Wait. Is she openly admitting that parts of the audience are reptilian..?
These human characters in this human story written by humans have to operate in a human nature... because HUMAN.
Guys jackie isnt dead, the three stabs were in a non lethal spots
And she just decided to lay there until the next day, eyes wide open and unblinking?
@billjacobs521 she wanted to see what it feels like to be apart of the force , like the bug they killed earlier. She will become one with it and no longer need a corporal form
For a Headlamp, it's not very bright
