- With so much hatred and negativity surrounding The Acolyte, I have to praise them for what they did in Episode 5!

I def appreciate the approach you’ve taken to your acolyte reviews/commentary. Blatantly obv and sad that so many other content creators are actively searching for reasons to whine & feed into (and cash in on) the hatred.
Give in to your hatred.😂
The problem is that the end product doesn't justify the money they put in and our time.
People freaking out over cortosis, I'm glad they addee the secret lightsaber form
Form 12 Shi'ish-Qibaab
On a more serious note I love how they did a perfect sith lord portrayal in just one episode, he's ruthless and vicious in combat, dismantles a whole bunch of Jedi like it ain't even a thing, he's cunning, able to deceive the Jedi and catch them on the back foot, he operates in the shadows primarily behind a mask but when his face is revealed we knew him all along he was hidden right it in plain sight, he exposes the weaknesses of the Jedi and the flaws in their methods and also becomes very cocky, arrogant and overconfident in the face of victory which ultimately leads to his defeat in that encounter.
Like damn that is a perfectly portrayed sith lord right there well done.
u get a like for the Jedi-kebab joke
What drugs must I take for this to look good?
😂

Lol.... I've got to remember this for future reference. Priceless!! :)

Hasn’t been discovered yet
One of the best lightsaber fighting since obi-ani
Another flaw I notice why Sol didn’t recognize it wasn’t osha in the end shouldn’t Jedi could tell the difference of twins in the force. Like seriously what hell is Mae plan?
The Jedi couldn't tell if Palpatine was a Sith or if Qimir was a Dark Side user, but could tell when Anakin was in pain from afar or when Order 66 was occurring. And in fairness, the scene with Mae and Sol was brief in the episode. These inconcistencies were always often in SW.
@@georgecostan3248 But sol personally knows Osha he should figured out it isn’t her on how she acted. Can we agree that Mae is a idiot first she wanted revenge against the Jedi than she wants turn herself in,she left her goddamn sister in hand of a Sith Lord and now she going to a temple full of Jedi masters for what we don’t know.
@@jaieregilmore971 yes, he knows her personally, but usually I see the Jedi sensing stuff only if they try, save for Yoda randomly doing that in the prequels. Sol woke up after a battle and an unprecedented Jedi massacre and was visibly conflicted during his battle with Qimir. It's understandable to be worn out and not in the right mind to just start using the Force to see if he got in the ship with the right twin. I guess that's why we got the Basil shots at the end of the episode. Also, Mae is a desperate person, trying to get away from Qimir's wrath - again, it's understandable to try to do anything to stay alive, even if it feels dumb.
I completely agree. Yoda said in the clone wars that all the clones are distinct in the force. So just the fact that they are twins really shouldn’t have been enough to fool Osha’s 5+ year master
The color was wonderful. Like glowing UV paint under a blacklight. Looked really cool in a nighttime setting. And the jungle added to it.
Ill give credit where its due. The fight was pretty decent and I liked the brutality behind it. But I dont think its on parr with the prequels. And I dont think its enough to save this series.
Better than original trilogy in some parts. OG will of course be more emotional, 1000 percent.
Personally the only duels from the prequels that are better are probably duel of the fates and battle of the hero’s. the choreography in this duel is definitely superior to any duel from attack of the clones and some from Revenge of the Sith.
@@alecjackman2655 I think every duel from revenge of the sith is superior
@@redwarrior9663 Palpatine’s office duel was really wonky in terms of choreography. If George had kept the original duel in than it would’ve been better than the acolyte.
@@alecjackman2655 I disagree
I'd like to see you debate Star Wars Theory about The Acolyte. He's just hating on the show (sometimes justified for writing and some minor inconsistencies etc.) even if there are some good moments. You put forward some very good points about for example Ki Adi Mundi's age not being that being that important and the choreography being very good at times while still being critical. Great job!
While I wouldn’t say the lightsaber fights in this episode are as good as the prequels, they are certainly an improvement on what we got from the sequel trilogy.
But the brutality was actually rather refreshing to see, even though you don’t see it directly I loved the shot of Qimir beheading the pair of Jedi he had just impaled on his lightsaber.
The lightsaber duels were amazing, best we had since the prequels. I do agree that it’s not on par with the Duel of the Fate, but it was pretty darn impressive. I am enjoying this show. It’s not as bad as some have said. I never go by what others think, good or bad. I make my own judgement. There are flaws in this series, but there are a lot of good points as well. I highly doubt that Disney is out to ruin or destroy Star Wars. Anyone who even thinks a major movie studio has that intent really needs to rethink their lives. I am glad you put this out there and spoken about the duel. There are other channels who have done the same and giving praise where it’s due is important.
I agree man, the new shows get waaaay too much hate. The Acolyte is pretty good to me.
It was pretty great to watch Qimir kick ass. Besides Vader in Rogue one and Kylo on Mustafar, we don't see much of this mowing down of opponents from the dark side.
The deaths (you know the two in particular) from the epic duels were actually decent and quite well placed. I’m relieved that the deaths are being written well(ish), idk could be worse.
Nice to see your face, and I love your ink!
I was surprised how much i enjoyed it. Hands down best saber combat in the Disney era
Bro actually said he liked ep 4 💀💀💀 The Acolyte is poop and the writing is trash but the lightsabers duels are better than the sequels but Disney makes people spew negativity since they just make everything low quality woke garbage with some decent shows here and there such as Ahsoka and the Mandalorian
Ashoka was not good, mandalorian was also meh… Andor is where it’s at, no?
@@samcarter4163 I thought Ahsoka was passable except for the scenes with Sabine they ruined that character and I haven’t watched Andor so I can’t speak on it but I heard it was heat
@@markoberlton8026Andor has a good story, perspective, aesthetics. Diego Luna’s acting *SUCKS* the facial expression & range of a potato
Better than the sequels but still not great in my opinion.
I’m enjoying the series so far tbh I kinda assumed everyone else was too until I looked online a few days ago. I don’t understand how the show is getting that level of hate, like there’s stupid parts and decisions I don’t necessarily like, but overall it’s still been fun and engaging enough I’ve thought
I was primed to dislike it hearing the things that was said by people making it about the Jedi and sith and lore stuff then when I watched the first 2 episodes I was pleasantly surprised it was still just meh but I can give the benefit of the doubt and see how the points made by the creaters play out and hey I get to watch Jedi and lightsabers and the force and stuff but it was all down hill from there I haven't even watched the last 2 episodes probably will eventually but yeah there's people like me who just don't like the show for there reasons then there's the people that just hate everything regardless and from what I hear there's probably people who just dislike Lesley headland for that non star wars personal assistant related stuff but I'm guessing a combination of the 3 is the cause but you get the opposite too people just blindly praising the show but hey what do I know I'm just a dumb welder who loves star wars lol
It actually was pretty good. When I look at light saber duels, I go back to 1977 when A New Hope came out. Then ESB and RTJ and any light saber duels after those is a WOW.
There are better actors for The Acolyte but the script isn't much. Any Star Wars film or show doesn't have much of a script and it's the actors and special effects that carries the film. It doesn't have to oooh and ahhhh, just take the viewer away from reality for a short time.
Yeah I finally decided to see what all the hubub was about. I went to rotten tomatoes and noticed the 14% viewer rating (ouch) - normally something I go by, but then I went to read viewer reviews and when I initially looked it was one guy posting the same review over and over, and then when I looked again it was all over the place.
It seems to be most of the complaints are about "woke" culture? Doesn't seem very woke to me. You have some black people, there might be a lesbian relationship in there, not sure, there's a couple of asian guys, but it just doesn't seem out of place at all. There are witches and there the twins happen to be girls. But, there's a smorgasbord of races including white people. Trinity from the Matrix is in the first scene.
And, then they have the acolyte herself which is basically a Jedi ninja which is super awesome. I am glad I waited until watching them til Ep. 5 because my opinion of Star Wars is shallowly effected by lightsaber combat and space dogfights, lol - but yeah thanks for posting this I do think you hit the nail on the head that the hate is mostly coming from people who are seeking to be outraged.
T.V. shows are never as high-quality as the movie
Well I did say it was an improvement on what Disney has given us in regards to the saber duels but definitely wasn't as good as the Duel of the Fates, Anakin VS Obi-wan or Anakin VS Dooku🤷🏻♂️ but moving in the right direction. Still think they could do with getting nick gillard back in some way or shape. it's like the matrix trilogy fight scenes where they had Yuen Woo-ping as the choreographer it was great but didn't use him in the last one and the fight scenes looked like a bar fight🤦🏻♂️
I'm having such a hard time watching the show. Its just so difficult to accept the dialogue in this show. Its just borderline cringe to me and odd. Feels more like a generic television show type writing. I am however one of those people that doesn't actually care too much about light sabre battles but more about why they are fighting and what emotions are conveyed throughout and also the conversions throughout. Which is more akin to medieval and samurai films (and plays) whereas dialogue takes place throughout the battle in a way that is meaningful. Here it just doesn't exist. I'm assuming they are trying to replicate Maul's mute battles where as he doesn't speak as much. Also this whole everyone has a black helmet is sort of taking away from Darth Vader's threatening approach. So I wasn't a fan of Kylo Ren either. So here we have yet another Kylo. I dont see much story here its boring. Fight scenes dont save shows. Good stories do as well as good dialogue. This show just doesnt have either of that for me.
Look, I don't wanna be negative for the sake of it. I'll admit the fight choreography was ok but not worth $180 million dollars. The writing is so irritating. Mai is my least favorite character. She keeps flip-flopping every episode. Why did Sol just leave Osha and the bodies??? None of this makes sense 🫤
That's my main frustration. I am enjoying it, but what I am seeing isn't worth 180m. With the time and money spent I expected more. The story idea appears to be interesting, the fighting is fine, acting is fine, but I expected more. Ahh well.
Mae not even a good person at all.
You’re being negative for the sake of it lmao, the fights were better than ok
@l1t3seminar80 Maybe, but worth $180 million? GTFO
If u have time check out saberfighting unleashed or ferocity. How can fan films with baby budgets provide better lightsaber fights than a multi billion dollar company. I just don't get it 😩
Mae isn’t flip flopping as much as people making it seem. She’s reacting to the circumstances given to her which are complex.
Hating Disney Star Wars is its own form of fandom, and part of the wider trolling subculture on social media. At the end of the day, viewing figures are what count, not review bombing Rotten Tomatoes. 87% of the 20,000 audience reviews on RT hate The Acolyte, but millions watch it without ever visiting RT to leave a review.
Yes, I agree with you - the show is overhated. Hot take, but I see this show like an overextended show version of The Phantom Menace. That movie also had awesome moments, but a lot of dumb ideas thrown in as well.

A lot of people forget, or were not around, that the EU had over 200+ books and hundreds of comics. Not all were bangers. But we just enjoyed new Star Wars at the time and focused on the good they brought to the overall lore instead of hating on it and those who enjoyed it. I miss the before times.
I feel like these days everybody expects everything to be 100% perfect for them and only them. Like you say we had so many books with the old EU that just stopped reading something and found something else without having to let the world know how absolutely terrible we found a particular story. Star Wars should be for everyone, but that doesn’t mean it has to be for everybody every single time. We can pick and choose which aspects of Star Wars we enjoy and move on from the stuff that we don’t like.
I remember a dozen canon contradictions and that nobody cared or bothered their brains fixing them.
The Jecki & Qimir fight was insane. Same with the rest of them. I keep having to rewatch the fights
Episode 5 was incredible
Just can’t get over the way they use things that are technically cannon but when you put thought into it didn’t make sense. On top of that most of the interviews are bad and it’s hard to watch a franchise I love be ran by ppl who don’t actually care about star wars
They have had opportunities to employ ppl who really care about star wars and have the knowledge to make great content for fans. The crew they have on now doesn’t listen to what the fans tell them and by the looks of it don’t research either
Just finished, great video man! You hit every point that I've brought up on my end as well. The show isn't perfect, but neither is any Star Wars show. Each show has its own issues associated with it. The number of people on my polls and comments that are just blindly hating and the things they are complaining about are things that have been answered with episode 5 and still, the same complaints are coming through. People just aren't watching the episodes and continuing to hate regardless which kinda sucks, but it is what it is. This just isn't for them and that's okay. I don't think the lightsaber fighting is better than the prequels, but like you said it's right up there with it!
Its not that great of a show but watching idiot characters die is fun in fiction its like jurassic world fallen kingdom not that great of a movie but watching the badguys die was hilarious
Lemme get this straight, you’re a MEGA fan of George Lucas SW but you’ll relentlessly defend the Acolyte ? Why? Do you not see that, EVEN WITH the Disney inside leaks, Leslie Headlands SW is just a vessel for the left wing Ideology? Not to mention an appealingly written and lawbreaking piece of hot trash? Whether she knows it or not she has been chosen as a tool to inject us with political agenda, and her project, a complete disgrace to what we know and love, that is George Lucas’ SW. So why give it praise?
