In all honesty when you go back and watch season 1-2 of Mando it’s not that great, it’s just okay that’s in a sea of garbage, so it looks good by comparison.
If that was actually true, it might actually totally change opinions on the show and make it an enjoyable watch! Maybe they can retcon it before the final episode. Lol!
It isn't innuendo, he's wrong. I don't know how he could read anything into that .. Dex was being coy without outright saying in public that Kaminoans were corrupt.
@@whzpoor yea he’s probably wrong about that part being the closest to innuendo. But definitely not wrong about the sexual seduction in acolyte. Leslie just thinks of everything sexually. When obi said anakin was seduced by the darkside he did not mean sexually seduced. He was just led astray and corrupted by it.
THANKYOU! XD most sexual thing in star wars my ass, Liea is the prime example, Theory is being over dramatic, look at the episode again from the 20:55 to the 21:00 mark and this video theory made becomes a pointless waste of time and rage bait. He was complaining before and during the video, claims he does those for us his audience, yet uploads shit videos like this. I prefer Alan but that's just me.

You obviously haven't ever played with fire as a kid. It always has the ability to get out of control super quick. Even if you're just lighting a piece of paper on fire. It's to show just how young and naive the girls are and how adults can manipulate how kids behave.
Revenge of the Sith : $114 million The Acolyte : $180 million Hmmm?? difference : $66 million Coincidence?? or is it a clue to laundering order 66?? dollars!!
Keep in mind, that's $114M in year 2000 dollars. It would be the equivalent of $171M in 2024. So, still more expensive than RotS, but with zero plot and shitty writing.
Feeling sad for actor who portraits Sol. The guy is a huge SW fan, even studied english to be part of his favorite franchise and they gave him a role (and he makes a pretty good job) in such poor series.
On the bright side, everyone is praising his performance (even people like me, whom despise the series). I think that he'll have several doors of acting opportunity opened to him after the series ends.
I agree. I liked Master Sol at the beginning, and could tell the actor was channeling Qui Gon, like he said. But then he was turned into a winey, impulsive, emotional man-child in flash backs. And I knew from the beginning he would have to undergo a character assassination since this is Disney SW. I expect he will be further demonized in the eighth episode but perhaps he will be saved by the uninteresting protagonist(s) that we’re supposed to care about because they’re “special” and they’re victims of the patriarchy or whatever.
i truly hope it opens the doors for him in this era at least, give him some actually well written scenes and he would immediately be the focal point of them all, rather than his character jus kinda being there to be there cuz hes there
Agreed. In my opinion, Qimir's actor has been doing a far better job and even he struggled to deliver his lines in episode 6. How do these writers have a job, let alone this high profile of a job?
That and this is his first English project, usually when people move to Hollywood like Arnold swarzenggar or Donnie Yuen they star of with smaller action focus roles with less dialouge and I feel like this role is the opposite of that .
The worst part was when anesaya tells sol "the jedi are going to destroy itself" before turning into a smoke demon, gets stabbed, then says "also I was going to let my daughter join thay group of people that are going to destroy itself"
@@HappyBob701 Don't change into a smoke demon that look dangerous in front of dozen of jedi capable of killing you with one light saber swing, when you had change your mind ? COMMON SENSE ! Even more important than BASIC PLOT POINT
This episode also delegitimized Torbin killing himself. He did nothing to be guilty of. Sure, he ran off without backup to the coven. But Sol caught up to him. And once they climbed the mountain he only activated his lightsaber after the one coven mama raised her weapon. And then he just deflected some arrows and got beat by the Wookie. There's no reason for him to have drank that poison.
I thought it was moreso that his mind was permanently corrupted unless he always meditated, but we will never know because they don't care to explain it
I’m proud of Sol, he killed that Dark Souls boss Aniseya when she was about to enter her phase 2. He also took down that awful parent Koril who encourages her daughter’s murderous anger, Sol’s the real hero!
"We need to find a way to give some depth to Torbin." "Ok, maybe he's fed up of his assignment and wants to go home?" "Oh, you mean like a kid who's homesick at summer camp?" "Exactly!" *HIVE FIVES ACROSS THE ROOM*
Torbin:"let's abduct these kids so I can finally go home!" Indara:"no the jedi council already told us to return home..." Torbin:"it Torbin time!" *chaos and death* *Party returns to coruscant* Torbin:" ah home sweet home. Well, I'm off to some random planet to meditate for the rest of my life. Cya!"
Denis Villeneuve took $165million & created Dune Part 1, 2hrs 35mins of a masterpiece in cinematic history. Disney has taken $180million and so far produced over 3hrs of utter nonsense. Half the Acolyte scenes are shot on sound stages (very obviously), with some out on location scenes but nothing as impressive as Andor. After 7 episodes I can honestly say, it hasn’t been worth the money invested. The story is just boring. There has been no character development, so you don’t care about the twins, or their coven who all died in the stupidest way imaginable, looked like they were unplugged whilst still in the Matrix. Everyone called the ‘Sith’ reveal about 3/4 episodes before it happened. Episodes 6 & 7 haven’t progressed the story in any way. Episodes 3 & 7 are the same episode, Disney could have saved time, cut the repeated parts and just merge into one long episode. But worst of all is the show runners obvious complete and utter ignorance of the lore surrounding the universe. Why did she have to devalue the prophesy of the Chosen One, by making out that a coven of all female witches did it first less than 100 years previously, what was the point? Other than pushing her own agenda. Shattering canon by having the one character from the Phantom Menace who disavowed the existence of the Sith, saying they’d been extinct for a millennia; being part of the Jedi group talking about someone trained in the Jedi arts killing Jedi. Making Jedi overly emotional. Despite what Disney & its shills try to push as to the reasons The Acolyte has bombed. It comes down to a complete ignorance of the lore, breaking established canon, poor scripts and otherwise talented actors wasted in roles that I am sure they did the best they could, with the twaddle they were given.
Sol: “I want the girls” (in a mildly creepy obsessive way). Witch: *says nothing and immediately bursts into a smoke demon* Sol: *without saying a word, stabs smoke, kills witch* Horned witch: (even though it’s a slowmo scene) *is randomly frozen in place with a stick and let’s other witch die* Witch:*surprised Pikachu face* “why have you killed me?… it was blatantly obvious I was letting her go… but maybe I should have just talked it out and give a heads up of what I was doing… my bad” Sol: *oops* “welp, Where my girls” 🎉 Horned witch: *turns into smoke demon* Sol: *just watches* DEAR LORD GIVE ME STRENGTH! I can’t take this anymore… there is no way this can be wrapped up in one episode.
@@LlamaM2288 No , 180 million in total. In The Acolyte's defence, 180 million today is not the same as 180 million in 2005. But in any case, noone can argue that the Acolyte was money well spent.
@georgem589 that's what I'm thinking too. I'd get calling it an absurd waste if it was 180 per episode but 180 for the whole show? I feel like it's a bit unreasonable to compare the two then because acolyte has 7+ episodes to spread that budget out on. Seems a lot harder than a 2 hour movie. Regardless I hate the show either way lol
@@LlamaM2288 Kenobi only got 90 million, and it had way more potential than this. The acolyte got 15 times the budget of Godzilla Minus one, which was a big success, each episode of the acolyte has almost double the budget of the entire movie.

Isn't it funny how they think we're threatened by diverse cast or female leads, when Rogue One, Andor, House Of The Dragon and Shogun had really high scores by the audience?
They know that race isnt the problem, it’s just a shield to deflect actual criticism, the show isn’t badly written or paced you’re just racist/sexist/homophobic etc they know what they’ve got on their hands is bad so they go in the attack and defence all at once.
Even Ahsoka, which is pretty much entirely led by female characters, was tremendously better than this shit show! Honestly, if you have an issue with gay people or people of color in Star Wars, I think you are a fucking moron inherently. Those aspects are not why this show is so bad, it's the writing and carelessness that really annoy the hell out of me.
I am 55 years old, I saw Star Wars in 1977 when it came out and fell in love, I have seen it over 200 times and love episodes 1-6 and the spin-offs with the exception of the Sequel Trilogy which I cannot imagine ever watching again. I love Rebels, Bad Batch, Rogue One, Andor, the Mando and related stuff, and Clone Wars. I thought Kenobi was disappointing but ok, I loved seeing Anakin and Obi Wan, etc. This, the Acolyte, I cannot even, I don't even know what to say actually. It is painful and embarrassing to watch, it is ridiculous, each episode gets worse and I don't even know what the point is, what in the world is happening here? It is horrible, not just horrible Star Wars, but just bad overall for anything, and I am so into Sci-Fi. I don't know if I can bear watching one more episode. I just want it to be over and go away. Can we please go back in time and make it not happen?
Ehhh... I disagree. The Last Jedi was a canonical entry within the main saga and utterly disrespected Luke Skywalker. At least with garbage such as The Acolyte, it's easier to just write it off because none of the characters are beloved main protagonists.
The year is 1999 Leslye Headland has just been stood up by her crush as a young college freshman and drowns her sorrows in a tub of butter-slathered popcorn while she sits through The Phantom Menace in the theater..... alone. As she watches a young Anakin win the Boonta Eve Classic while Obi-Wan and Qui Gon Jin dodge sea creatures and work together to eliminate the insidious Darth Maul the grief-stricken hopeless romantic thinks to herself.... "Screw you Anakin... you think you're so great with that oversized helmet. And as for you Obi-Wanna be cool and Qui going going Gon... I dont need you man-splaining things to me while doing awesome sh1t and taking out a Sith Lord.

@@jmrggrmj9330 The year is 1980 A spry 27 year old Kathleen Kennedy can't get enough of Harrison Ford's freewheeling portrayal of the intergalactic bad@ss known as Han Solo.

In her zealous quest to make the man who steals the screen in every scene hers and hers alone, she attends every event the devilishly handsome Harrison is scheduled to attend.

That was the way it was meant to come off. Theory being so sexually repressed mistook it to mean Dooku and Sifo-Dyas paid for the clones with something other than money.
The worst thing was Torbin. He didn't do anything, but now he spends 16 years in seclusion and offs himself? Over what? Saying he wanted to go home? Uhh... he said that at the campfire too. There is quite literally no reason for him to do any of that.
The dude clearly needed some kind of therapy and had some trauma. Instead, in SW, the Jedi's answer is "just forget about it bro, let's not talk about it..meditate and bottle your feelings"...heck, that's some people's answer to things in real life. Who knows, if he had therapy, things could've turned out differently. If Anakin had proper therapy, maybe he wouldn't have done some extreme cleaning of the temple.
Torbin perfectly mirrors how men are treated in modern society. He was violated, basically mind ra---d by space witches and his problem was ignored, so he deleted himself. That's my headcanon, considering that the series gives me nothing else to work with.
I like how we all went "The jedi must have done something to explode the base right?" cause it was too silly to think a human being could write that a tiny lamp fire burned a stone structure and destroyed the facility. But then they actually did have that be what actually happened. By god....
The literal scene Star Wars Theory uses to critize that scene has a wooden door frame and a wooden decorative strip on the middle of the wall possibly covering wires. We are also shown the lamp fluid being on fire and spreading. This ain't that hard to put together
This show went from an over budget disaster in ep1-2, to lore breaker in ep3, to throwing all logic out the window in ep4-5, to now just the worst piece of entertainment media ever created. This is truly an accomplishment Kathleen Kennedy and Leslie Headland should be proud of.
They really milked the idea of the 4 Jedi doing terrible things for 6 episodes for it to be this lukewarm misunderstanding and not something that really needed a cover-up or hiding from Osha.
Right? I hung in there for so many episodes expecting some big reveal that explained all this guilt they were supposed to feel and then this episode drops only to reveal that Mae actually did start the fire and the Witches basically killed themselves. The motivations of the Jedi weren't even coherent enough for them to feel culpable in what happened
Leslye Headlands witches- The Galaxy does not like us Also these witches- Use dark magic to possess Jedi and cause infighting. And Leslye Headland has the nerve to scratch her head and wonder why people hate her vision of Star Wars
@@captainfach Their power? They were outnumbered by the witches and literally said they would only take the children with them if they allowed it. To what the witches responded by do allowing them to take them and then use dark-side magic on them anyway.
Wait, the pocket book quote is a sexual joke? I thought he was talking about how big Obi-Wan's wallet is (or rather how much money he had), as a wallet opens up like a book and you keep it in your pocket.
Not a sexual reference at all, from any rational perspective. But Theory is entitled to believe it if he chooses. But us, as his audience, should correct the false logic used to make his arguments about the show. Believing a concept as a personal choice is one thing. But making judgements based on false logic AND expecting people to accept him as an authority based on false logic, is entirely different. Just like his canon-breaking arguments are not actually based on official canon.
The pocketbook scene is talking about money 100%, also not the most sexual thing in Star Wars, not even close, padmaes dress in Naboo while sitting by the fire, leia’s bikini, the twilleks, kissing scenes, and I haven’t even watched this show but this point is so so wrong
Worse than Sol trying to lift the bridge and failing is the fact that the girls could’ve just turned around and walked backward and been totally fine 😂😂 I almost paused the show I was laughing too hard, but I wouldn’t miss anything anyways
Omg I know! Since episode 2 I’ve just been watching it for the fact that I can say I’ve seen the series and the entertainment factor of how bad it is 😂
Yeah she was suprised the thing everyone in their coven knows is not known by the jedi. She was also in a hurry, considering the jedi and her partner (?) was about to fight all the while Osha was in danger. Understandable why she hurried. And understandable why Sol killed her
That block from Torbin of Kalnacca was one of the worst things I’ve ever seen in all of media, not just Disney Star Wars. It makes literally no sense. You can’t possibly hold a blade steady like that from even a mild force pushing against it, let alone a massive wookie bringing an insanely hard strike down on you. Torbin would have to have the strength of Superman in order to maintain that block. This series is just straight up unwatchable
I can think of a reason why that block might be possible, but it's still just as bad. It's a lightsaber, and the blade is entirely made of light, isn't it? Like plasma or something? So it should be very low weight, the density of highly condensed light, and thus carry very low kinetic force. But then, why would the Wookie make such a move that is only meant to maximize kinetic force?
@@Mistral434 the blade is lightweight, but the hilt is heavy and also the transfer of energy from a blow especially from a Wookie would be very high. If you were holding a twig and the mountain from GoT swing full force another twig at you it wouldn’t matter the weight, you wouldn’t be able to block his blow perfectly like that. Using the force is really the only possible explanation because true lightsaber duels as explained in cannon are so rapid and fast paced, as well as powerful, that you are essentially allowing the force to guide the combat. So maybe because the wookie is “possessed” Torbin can use the force to a more powerful extent but it’s a very weak explanation that’s very esoteric in the lore that you wouldn’t just casually throw in a scene like that. Especially these writers.
As far as I can tell that whole sequence beforehand was demonstrating the mismatch in strength between the wookiee and the two humans, absolutely bizarre they would decide to then do that.
You do realize that you are debating the logic of things that can be done with lightsabers and the force...both things that have no basis in physics and could be whatever the write wants.
One thing to note about all the unnecessary sexual implications in this show. Leslie Headland was the former personal assistant of Harvey Weinstein. I say no more
This show is literally from "The Producers": Pick a really, really, bad script that you know will bomb. Hire bad actors/directors/tech people. Do everything you can to make sure your production will fail. Fundraise a lot more money than you need to make the show. Let's say you need 500,000 to make the show, raise 1,000,000 instead. Embezzle the extra. Be creative about it, but take the bulk of the money for yourself. Show bombs, you tell the backers, "sorry, we lost all the money, we'll do better next time." Enjoy your embezzled money knowing that the IRS won't bother looking at your books since the show didn't make any money. The accountant made a quip about being able to clear more money this way than doing an actually successful show.
There is no way Disney hasn't been following this script since after TLJ shattered the fandom. There is no actual way all these D+ shows that cost well over 100m each (same with the MCU post phase 3), have actually needed those budgets. But who's going to look when on another earnings call that's recorded for them to listen, Bob Iger gets on there and laments once again that 'we aren't seeing the numbers we hoped for'? The IRS and whoever else, have bigger things to worry about, like people who made 12k dollars in a year and didn't pay their taxes.
@@thehoerscorral8565 I am not a huge fan of conspiracy theories, but this is one of the ones where I truly do believe a huge chunk of that $180M went into some higher up employees within Disney.
Thing is, they're rewarded for making this crap too. They're literally not in it for the money, it's about sending a message for them. They reward the propagandists whether the show is critically well reviewed or not.
I've been doing that since I first saw The Phantom Menace. Granted, what Disney has done to the franchise is so much worse, but for us real old fans this is still a familiar feeling.
The script of this episode feels like it was written by a group of students who needed to work on the project together, but nobody did the work of blending it together and fixing incoherence
I haven't watched this episode so I didn't know that until I read these comments, can't believe they actually did a Netflix in a *STAR WARS* series 🤣💥...
Yeah, the best part is that not only does the genre of music not fit at all for a story that is supposed to be as grand as Star Wars, but the music was just terrible regardless.
don't forget, the girls spent a good 30 seconds just shouting their names at each other wen they are only a number of feet from each other, fantastic dialogue
One mistake in this video: The jedi order does not tell them to come home. They tell them to not interfere with the witches, but to stay posted on the planet.
@KIDSTATIIC no, in the scene at night, just before torbin drives off to kidnap the kids, indara tells them that they won't allow them to take the kids to coruscant and that they're meddling too much with the witches already. Torbin asks, will they at least allow us to come home? And indara says "no." Time stamp in the episode is about 20:45
@@KIDSTATIIC No, they did not. The exact exchange is: Indara: "They say that we have interfered too much already." Torbin: "Will they let us come home, at least?" Indara: "No." ..... the subject then shifts into Sol and Indara arguing about Osha, followed by the discussion of the Midichlorian count and introduction of "symbionts".
The Acolyte is just so unenjoyable I tried watching this episode over and over so that i could watch this video afterwards and i finally just caved and watched this video anyway. Episode 7 was so bad i literally couldn’t finish it.
I’m sick of seeing that main actress showing up on shows saying everyone is racist and don’t like the show because of diverse casting… not the fact the show insults everything George’s Star Wars..
This time, I agree 100%. This episode just sucked entirely. Jedi masters with the self control of frat boys. Dialog with the subtlety of vomit. Concrete with the burning properties of balsa wood. Jedi masters slap fighting each other in front of their Palawan learners. OMG. Nothing about this episode even FELT like Star Wars.
It's ok, cause Leslye knows Star Wars better than you or I. And also, the twins have the "same status as Anakin". Yup, they are as important to the galaxy as Vadar now. Who cares about history and lore. Not them.
@@tylerbensdadThey don't have the same status as Anakin. Why do people keep saying that? They were literally made by a person who split 1 person into 2. Anakin was born of The Force itself.

How did this broken cheapie Torbin get the title of Jedi master?!? 16 years ago he was just a Padawan, 6 years later he somehow became a Master, and then for 10 fuuuung years he, the Master of Jedi order, immersed himself in a meditation of guilt... How is this possible
Theory, I don't agree about "pocketbook" being phallic. The reference is literally pocketbook being a reference to money. I understand there was a pause, but that does not mean he was talking about Cojones
Wait, Obi asks Dex if the Kimonoans are friendly, no? And Dex says “depends on how big your pocket book is”, I’ve always understood that as meaning they roll out the red carpet for rich people but won’t give the time of day to poor people. That was a mildly sexual reference?
Same. Pretty sure he just said pocketbook rather than wallet. Theory misunderstood that line, but hey, he's not perfect. I understood Theory's point, though. Star Wars usually doesn't have a ton of blatantly sexual stuff in it. Leia with Jabba was one, and that was like, a BIG deal due to how different it was from the overall theme. Plus, it served an important point: to present the evil of Jabba and the Star Wars underworld. There are a few mild references between Anakin and Padme, but nothing overtly raw. Just basic couple in love stuff. Worst part to me was always Luke and Leia being... you know. Star Wars nearly went Targaryen back in the day, lmao, but Lucas never let that go any further. Some of the recent stuff has felt sexual for no reason. I have no issue with all the varieties of sexualitites and lifestyles, so don't presume I'm upset about anything like that. I just feel ANY overt and raw sexual content that serves no point to the plot is out of place in Star Wars. IF they stopped claiming "it's for kids", then it'd be different. But since they DO yell that on every mountain top, well...
I literally burst out laughing multiple times because of how bad some of this dialogue was. I also don't understand why Lesly Headlamp feels the need to include these disgusting, cringe-worthy, awkward, and forced scenes of sexual tension that make no sense whatsoever for the plot
@@SolidPain6624 Not only Han and Leia kiss, Harrison Ford grabbed Carrie Fisher's boobs in the scene, lol they had an affair in real life at that period (the third movie), that scene is infamous. Also Slave Leia, in the original movie Leia was walking around without wearing a bra, etc.. sexualization was the norm in the late 70s and early 80s (this trend was toned down in the mid 80s through early 00s). And it's amusing how nowadays Star Wars had Rey as the protagonist, she is dressed top to bottom. That's why this whole crap is just nonsensical, Hollywood just follow trend$, then act like they are morally upright, teaching life lessons to the audience, "awarding" movies who features "political" messages, etc.. such hypocritical horseshit smh
@paradox2210 all you'll get is crickets from these 304s that go after him. I've tried. It's almost like Trump derangement syndrome, but worse. As Theory seems incredibly genuine, hard-working and kind.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, score plays such a large role in the telling of Star Wars. Leitmotifs, battle scores, and yes, even silence, play an integral role in my memories of the OT and Prequels. Disney seems to have never understood this, and that joke of a end credit "song" is proof
Not star wars but I love when a show is bold enough to end an episode in total silence. It's not a card it can play often and often only once, but it can hit like a hammer. The absence of sound can be unsettling when you know there should be something, anything.
@@Markyparky56 Modern Disney would never do this anymore. Everything HAS to be some kind of like modern zoomer-proof constant flashing, constant sound crap.

I hated this episode but I also came out of it thinking the Jedi where more a victim then a villain. The scene where the zabrac told mai to get angry has to be the single worst thing I’ve ever seen on screen
I started dying laughing when I saw the female Zabrak with features of a male Zabrak. It’s like they literally did no research on what a female Zabrak looks like. 😂
@@szempet14 you ever seen a nightsister? The society is split between the males who are much more muscular, with face tattoos and horns, and the females are pale, dark eyed witches. They literally look nothing alike.
Sol somehow stabbing Aniseya when shes in a gas like state is still confusing me. Also I like how this episode confirmed that it was all the Witches and Mae's fault when the episode was suppose to show the sins of the Jedi. Koril started to attack which caused Torbin to ignite his lightsaber. Its all their fault and all because Aniseya wanted to insult the Jedi. Also remember TORBIN took his own life because of what happened in this episode yet here he couldn't care less about the witches, he was eager to have them gone. I refuse to believe Master Indara somehow killed all the witches at once, it makes no sense. I want to believe that she just knocked them out which would mean that Mae really did kill all the witches when she caused that fire because this episode has done nothing to answer the questions they were building up. So many people were saying that the Jedi did something so heinous and that Mae wasn't Mae but it really was all Mae. I will say tho in the episode the council actually didnt tell them to come home. Torbin asked if they'll let them go home and Indara responded with no. Anyways all the signs point to Darth Tenebrous making an appearance. If he does show up then that just might be the only real cool thing the show has ever done.
Thank Yaddle someone else pointed this out, Please read my other comments if you have time to find em. I think they shouldn't have been there, that was the point. If Torbbin hadnt ran off perhapse the Wookiee Jedi wouldnt be potentially partially possessed, because i agree those witches died suddenly, maybe they are still lingering. Torbbin realized, it seems, that if he hadnt went with his rash desire to go home, to defy the orders of the council, try to defy the will of the force.....Wh do Jedi allow slavery in some instances and attempt to defy it in others? I dont know but i feel this show has potentiall opened more avenues than its closed, not to say its great but yea, Very rationale comment, help Theory he needs help.
7 episodes so far and a story which could have easily been told across 3 episodes. The padding and slovenly pace of this series is excruciating to endure.
@@Right_Said_Brett It was very important to make a 3 minutes scene of Smilo Ren undressing with a romance plot that would take 2 season to actually unfold.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait...Sol can't hold the bridges because they're too heavy??? Didn't Yoda tell Luke it was essentially irrelevant how big or heavy his ship was when he had to lift it out of the water? It's about connecting to The Force to do the act, not the object (size, shape, weight, etc...) itself.
We have literally seen Yoda in star wars 2 struggle lifting heavy objects against dooku. You pick and choose what you want to nitpick to justify your hate bonet
Its almost like it was a lesson that needs to be learned. If the chosen ones son struggles to lift some rocks and a ship, why would you expect some jedi knight to pull it off. Was luke a pussy in your eyes?
I think the only thing that would save it, is if it ends with obi-one waking from a bad dream, hot and sweaty. Then says, I knew those death sticks where a mistake, I need to go home and rethink my life.
i think the worst part of the episode was, that we stil dont know how Mae survived, witch means it is likely, that we will have another flashback to that episode...
Remember when they first announced the series, and we thought it would be a series about a younger Sheev Palpatine, and his Master Plagueis? God, how great would that have been? Instead we’re stuck with a coven of angry “peaceful” witches who call the force “the thread”, and are powerful enough to make Anakin the third (technically second) “copycat” force child in the Galaxy. The Jedi are now murderous oppressors, who obsess over force sensitive children. Established Star Wars hall of famer: Ki-Adi-Mundi is now a liar and a hell of a lot older. There are brand new force powers that I guess were forgotten to time by the events of the prequels…? Sigh… I’m just over it. Star Wars is officially an unfortunate meat suit for the culture war, being paraded around for the few other like minded people to enjoy as the rest of the world watches in horror…
Thats not what he said. Theory said it was the closest OG Star Wars ever got to making any kind of innuendo. The point is that it was actually about money. Nothing sexual like in the scene here is talking about
A story based around the jedi fucking up could have been interesting, but not this… Im not opposed to a story about a certain group of Jedi fucking up a mission, having to report that fuck up to the council and then having to deal with the repercussions down the line. But what the hell even is this show? What importance do these girls even have? One is constantly flip flopping and has no real motivation and the other is just a cry baby who failed being a jedi and all of it is culminating into what exactly? We were better off getting a revenge plot by Qmir and who created a dark offshoot of sith like the Brotherhood of Darkness of some shit. That would be way more dope than this travesty
Hell, the entire Prequel series was about the Jedi fucking up and having to pay the ultimate price with the destruction of the order. So the flawed Jedi thing has already been done. The Acolyte is just Headlund's fanfic / self therapy for whatever has made her such a damaged person. It bears no resemblance to the real Star Wars universe. Sure you could have the odd Jedi who makes impulsive decisions, ignores orders, and gets things so wrong that they cause a major fuckup. But those Jedi don't become Masters. If they did, the Jedi Order would've ceased to exist thousands of years before this crap is supposed to be taking place. What's most galling to me is that we're told these are the Jedi at the height of their power, yet all we've seen is weakness and stupidity from them. I feel sorry for the good actors who got waylaid into this mess. They deserve better.
I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in cringe and were suddenly silenced, i think something terrible has happened
The Farce Is Strong In This One. In a galaxy far far away, a bold story is told, and The Acolytes absurdity unfolds, Flashbacks flicker through a hyperspace's glare, a WTF tale beyond compare. A wookie with metal detector? Thats shit, Scanning lifeless planets for treasures that fit, Yet life blooms there, against all known odds, Gardeners tend flora as if they were gods. Lesbian witches whispering secrets untold, Colleagues turned foes, their stories unfold, An emotional master, his heart in a storm, A homesick padawan, dreams of being home nice and warm, Mass psychic murders, a tragic ballet, In a diverse cosmos where the Force is gay, Like a cheap lightsabers' diminishing glow, This saga spews out, in a vomitous flow. So let's raise our glasses to this trainwreck in space, Where lgbtqia+ and broken lore find a place, To The Acolyte’s absurd design, Where the Force weaves tales, far from sublime.
"Will they let us come home at least" - "no". I don't think the Jedi said come home unless I'm missing something. I can't find it, but basically everything else sucks yes.. well, except for Torbin's saber skills - that was awesome.
Thank you, you are 100% correct. I don’t like this show, but theory got this wrong in the video. Jedi council told them even though not to interfere with witches they needed to stay and keep scouting the planet.
The entirety of D+ Star Wars has felt like Kathleen Kennedy wants everyone to laugh at Star Wars. Like it was laughed at in the past as dumb nerdy stuff when she suffered under George and Steven but once the prequels brought it once again into the spotlight and made a bunch of money and everyone was talking about it, she had enough. She knew she had to destroy 'this stupid nerdy male fantasy crap' that her stupid nerdy bosses made. And now she's got the keys to that kingdom, and instead of improving it, like a bitter ex-wife she is doing her level best to completely eradicate and destroy all the good from past Star Wars, so nobody will ever speak good about it again, not if she can help it. The force is female, indeed.
On another note I want to remind you guys of something. They fired Gina Carano just for voicing her political opinions but when it comes to Harvey Weinstein's former personal assistant. They give her, her own show. They'd rather be associated with the latter than the former. That should tell you everything you need to know about this company. They don't care about art and worse they don't even seem to care about profit. Honestly? Let's not fool ourselves. Their motivations are far darker then incompetence.
Have you ever heard the tragedy of Leslye Headland the Foolish? It’s an old KK legend. Leslye Headland was a woke writer of the alphabet brigade, so arrogant and so foolish she used her influence to destroy Star Wars canon… She had such a knowledge of the social justices that she could even put her agendas in a franchise that had no need for them. The woke side of writing is a pathway to strange things many consider to be unnatural. She became so arrogant… the only thing she was afraid of was losing her credibility, which eventually, of course, she did. Unfortunately, she taught her apprentice, Amandla Stenberg, everything she knew, then her apprentice scissored her in her sleep. Ironic. She tried to cancel others, while only cancelling herself.
It was. Or just a joke about money in general. It wasn’t a dick joke. There’s not any of those in Star Wars. There’s sexy outfits but no lewd jokes or comments.
I took it to mean the Kaminoans will work for whoever is paying, as long as they're paying a lot. A millions strong army isn't cheap to produce, military hardware and all.
You guys are missing the fact that the DELIVERY of that line was lascivious! "It depend upon how BIG your... ahem... drum-roll... wait for it!... POCKETBOOK is." Every listener is expecting to hear something lascivious. "How BIG your PACKAGE is!"
You have the force. And there’s a collapsed bridge with only two people on it. Why would you use the force to help the 2 girls out? No no, just waste your force energy to save this bridge for some reason. Because space taxes paid for that bridge, so forget those girls. Save the bridge.
Qui-Gon even thought that Anakin may have been concealed by the midiclorians. But this show, nah, we can sense something is up from light years away. And the fact that they brought up their "high midiclorians" but somehow they weren't concealed by it????. I'm just angry, nothing of this show makes any sense let alone should exist.
They didn't sense the twins. This was a dead planet thanks to the Great Hyperapace Disaster. And when they noticed that it was now full of life they had reason to investigate.
Because this was made with the entire purpose of going "nuh uh, we were first, not Anakin. And we were better". So it only took the surface of Anakin's story without understanding the core and the details.
@@Tkscz Their origin is completely different from Anakin's though. Anakin was conceived by the will of The Force itself. The twins were made when a Force user channeled the power of a vergence to split one into two.
Yes, holding the bridges up instead of the girls made no sense, but lets be brutally honest here. NONE of the usage of the force by Jedi or Sith have been consistent or make sense the vast majority of the time throughout all the SW universe. We see force users continually force push and force stop weapons (including light sabers), bowling over myriads of bad guys or moving structures that weight a ton, but not once do they use it in light saber battle to get the upper hand, even though they have used it on a limited, non-lethal basis during duels. Many a duel could have been ended quickly by a little force push over a cliff or something. It has never been consistent or logically used in any of the media. The only explanation is that there is a code of ethics amongst duelers that victory or defeat is based on your light saber abilities and not using the force lethally. Why a Sith who are out to destroy the Jedi would be cool with following rules makes any sense makes no sense to me, bu I don't know...
I mean if you have the same opinions about Star Wars as theory does then you won’t like the show, but if you have the ability to think for yourself and not just have blind hate it’s an ok show nothing spectacular but it’s not anywhere near as bad as this dude makes it seem, he also either doesn’t understand the story whatsoever or he’s purposely being disingenuous about the shows writing and story

Feeling sad for actor who portraits Sol. The guy is a huge SW fan, even studied english to be part of his favorite franchise and they gave him a role (and he makes a pretty good job) in such poor series.
On the bright side, everyone is praising his performance (even people like me, whom despise the series). I think that he'll have several doors of acting opportunity opened to him after the series ends.
@Right_Said_Brett really wish him luck on his way of actor. He deserves better than that.
He said “if it wasn’t Star Wars, I would had declined”
I agree. I liked Master Sol at the beginning, and could tell the actor was channeling Qui Gon, like he said. But then he was turned into a winey, impulsive, emotional man-child in flash backs. And I knew from the beginning he would have to undergo a character assassination since this is Disney SW. I expect he will be further demonized in the eighth episode but perhaps he will be saved by the uninteresting protagonist(s) that we’re supposed to care about because they’re “special” and they’re victims of the patriarchy or whatever.
i truly hope it opens the doors for him in this era at least, give him some actually well written scenes and he would immediately be the focal point of them all, rather than his character jus kinda being there to be there cuz hes there
I hated this episode to a high degree but what KILLED me was the "Star Wars End Credit "Song". MY GOD WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!!!!
Tbf it wasn't a terrible beat at all, it's just the fact that it seems like a "human" song and not a "Star Wars" alien song.
@DesignedAssassin the beat was good ill give it that. But it sounded like a modern song that doesn't fit or belong in star wars
It wasn't a bad song, but it was a terrible choice for SW
Horrible song with horrible lyrics
Yeah that was actually unacceptable
I feel bad saying it, but even the actor for Sol (who I highly respect) clearly can not even act properly with this terrible writing.
Agreed. In my opinion, Qimir's actor has been doing a far better job and even he struggled to deliver his lines in episode 6. How do these writers have a job, let alone this high profile of a job?
He’s actually great but doing the best he can with this absolutely catastrophic show.
That’s racist bro
Why?? Because he is chinese?? Theory said he is the only one who is a good actor so which is it??
That and this is his first English project, usually when people move to Hollywood like Arnold swarzenggar or Donnie Yuen they star of with smaller action focus roles with less dialouge and I feel like this role is the opposite of that .

Denis Villeneuve took $165million & created Dune Part 1, 2hrs 35mins of a masterpiece in cinematic history.
Disney has taken $180million and so far produced over 3hrs of utter nonsense. Half the Acolyte scenes are shot on sound stages (very obviously), with some out on location scenes but nothing as impressive as Andor.
After 7 episodes I can honestly say, it hasn’t been worth the money invested.
The story is just boring.
There has been no character development, so you don’t care about the twins, or their coven who all died in the stupidest way imaginable, looked like they were unplugged whilst still in the Matrix.
Everyone called the ‘Sith’ reveal about 3/4 episodes before it happened.
Episodes 6 & 7 haven’t progressed the story in any way.
Episodes 3 & 7 are the same episode, Disney could have saved time, cut the repeated parts and just merge into one long episode.
But worst of all is the show runners obvious complete and utter ignorance of the lore surrounding the universe.
Why did she have to devalue the prophesy of the Chosen One, by making out that a coven of all female witches did it first less than 100 years previously, what was the point? Other than pushing her own agenda.
Shattering canon by having the one character from the Phantom Menace who disavowed the existence of the Sith, saying they’d been extinct for a millennia; being part of the Jedi group talking about someone trained in the Jedi arts killing Jedi.
Making Jedi overly emotional.
Despite what Disney & its shills try to push as to the reasons The Acolyte has bombed.
It comes down to a complete ignorance of the lore, breaking established canon, poor scripts and otherwise talented actors wasted in roles that I am sure they did the best they could, with the twaddle they were given.

Dex saying, "...how big your pocketbook is, ha ha ha..." I took as reference to how deep your pocket is, i.e., MONEY.
That was the way it was meant to come off. Theory being so sexually repressed mistook it to mean Dooku and Sifo-Dyas paid for the clones with something other than money.
Theory is just a sweet summer child 😇
He didnt mean the actual phrase he meant the WAY Dex said it, cuz that was super sensual lmao
He said the "closest", not that it was an actual sexual reference. The delivery could sound like innuendo if you stretched it.
Funny enough, "wallet" in norwegian is "lommebok" which directky translates as "pocketbook" (lomme = pocket and bok = book)
They took one of South Korea’s most respected and honored actors and made him into an overemotional, unintelligent, weak, off-key, creepy teen type.
The worst thing was Torbin. He didn't do anything, but now he spends 16 years in seclusion and offs himself? Over what? Saying he wanted to go home? Uhh... he said that at the campfire too. There is quite literally no reason for him to do any of that.
The dude clearly needed some kind of therapy and had some trauma. Instead, in SW, the Jedi's answer is "just forget about it bro, let's not talk about it..meditate and bottle your feelings"...heck, that's some people's answer to things in real life.
Who knows, if he had therapy, things could've turned out differently. If Anakin had proper therapy, maybe he wouldn't have done some extreme cleaning of the temple.
I would love to know how they justify Torbin initiating the chain of incompetent events was allowed to graduate, and become a Jedi Master.
He shouldn't have ever been a jedi😂😂😂 hes a cry baby .. I want to go home 🍼😂
Torbin perfectly mirrors how men are treated in modern society. He was violated, basically mind ra---d by space witches and his problem was ignored, so he deleted himself. That's my headcanon, considering that the series gives me nothing else to work with.
@@stephanieamare Where in Star Wars is it prescribed to bottle up your feelings?

The literal scene Star Wars Theory uses to critize that scene has a wooden door frame and a wooden decorative strip on the middle of the wall possibly covering wires. We are also shown the lamp fluid being on fire and spreading. This ain't that hard to put together
This show went from an over budget disaster in ep1-2, to lore breaker in ep3, to throwing all logic out the window in ep4-5, to now just the worst piece of entertainment media ever created. This is truly an accomplishment Kathleen Kennedy and Leslie Headland should be proud of.
It’s funny because everything you described in the episode has been the reality of the past 20 years in society 😭😭
They really milked the idea of the 4 Jedi doing terrible things for 6 episodes for it to be this lukewarm misunderstanding and not something that really needed a cover-up or hiding from Osha.
Right? I hung in there for so many episodes expecting some big reveal that explained all this guilt they were supposed to feel and then this episode drops only to reveal that Mae actually did start the fire and the Witches basically killed themselves. The motivations of the Jedi weren't even coherent enough for them to feel culpable in what happened
Leslye Headlands witches- The Galaxy does not like us
Also these witches- Use dark magic to possess Jedi and cause infighting.
And Leslye Headland has the nerve to scratch her head and wonder why people hate her vision of Star Wars
I mean yeah, after they break into their home and use their power to try to take their children.
@@captainfach Their power? They were outnumbered by the witches and literally said they would only take the children with them if they allowed it.
To what the witches responded by do allowing them to take them and then use dark-side magic on them anyway.

@jlev1028 don't think just because a show is bad that every aspect is trash and dumb
Wait, the pocket book quote is a sexual joke? I thought he was talking about how big Obi-Wan's wallet is (or rather how much money he had), as a wallet opens up like a book and you keep it in your pocket.
Same here lol I never saw anything sexual about that... But the kitty Kat removing the nodriff part of Padme tho, that I didn't miss 😅
It is. It’s not sexual at all.
He crazy for this one, it’s definitely about money
Not a sexual reference at all, from any rational perspective. But Theory is entitled to believe it if he chooses. But us, as his audience, should correct the false logic used to make his arguments about the show. Believing a concept as a personal choice is one thing. But making judgements based on false logic AND expecting people to accept him as an authority based on false logic, is entirely different. Just like his canon-breaking arguments are not actually based on official canon.
The pocketbook scene is talking about money 100%, also not the most sexual thing in Star Wars, not even close, padmaes dress in Naboo while sitting by the fire, leia’s bikini, the twilleks, kissing scenes, and I haven’t even watched this show but this point is so so wrong
Worse than Sol trying to lift the bridge and failing is the fact that the girls could’ve just turned around and walked backward and been totally fine 😂😂
I almost paused the show I was laughing too hard, but I wouldn’t miss anything anyways

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That block from Torbin of Kalnacca was one of the worst things I’ve ever seen in all of media, not just Disney Star Wars. It makes literally no sense. You can’t possibly hold a blade steady like that from even a mild force pushing against it, let alone a massive wookie bringing an insanely hard strike down on you. Torbin would have to have the strength of Superman in order to maintain that block. This series is just straight up unwatchable
I can think of a reason why that block might be possible, but it's still just as bad. It's a lightsaber, and the blade is entirely made of light, isn't it? Like plasma or something? So it should be very low weight, the density of highly condensed light, and thus carry very low kinetic force. But then, why would the Wookie make such a move that is only meant to maximize kinetic force?
@@Mistral434 the blade is lightweight, but the hilt is heavy and also the transfer of energy from a blow especially from a Wookie would be very high. If you were holding a twig and the mountain from GoT swing full force another twig at you it wouldn’t matter the weight, you wouldn’t be able to block his blow perfectly like that. Using the force is really the only possible explanation because true lightsaber duels as explained in cannon are so rapid and fast paced, as well as powerful, that you are essentially allowing the force to guide the combat. So maybe because the wookie is “possessed” Torbin can use the force to a more powerful extent but it’s a very weak explanation that’s very esoteric in the lore that you wouldn’t just casually throw in a scene like that. Especially these writers.
@@Mistral434 Luke beat down Vader before cutting off his hand, so there is some precedence for the blades having quite a bit of inferred mass
As far as I can tell that whole sequence beforehand was demonstrating the mismatch in strength between the wookiee and the two humans, absolutely bizarre they would decide to then do that.
You do realize that you are debating the logic of things that can be done with lightsabers and the force...both things that have no basis in physics and could be whatever the write wants.
One thing to note about all the unnecessary sexual implications in this show. Leslie Headland was the former personal assistant of Harvey Weinstein. I say no more
I'm not surprised that Disney paints a horrible portrayal of the jedi. They are the siths
the jedi were never meant to be the most noble. they all corrupt on their own
reading the two comments above realy hurts and i feel that its not worth stepping in
This show is literally from "The Producers":
Pick a really, really, bad script that you know will bomb. Hire bad actors/directors/tech people. Do everything you can to make sure your production will fail.
Fundraise a lot more money than you need to make the show. Let's say you need 500,000 to make the show, raise 1,000,000 instead.
Embezzle the extra. Be creative about it, but take the bulk of the money for yourself.
Show bombs, you tell the backers, "sorry, we lost all the money, we'll do better next time."
Enjoy your embezzled money knowing that the IRS won't bother looking at your books since the show didn't make any money.
The accountant made a quip about being able to clear more money this way than doing an actually successful show.
The new space balls should be based on this kind of idea 😂
😂😂😂
There is no way Disney hasn't been following this script since after TLJ shattered the fandom. There is no actual way all these D+ shows that cost well over 100m each (same with the MCU post phase 3), have actually needed those budgets. But who's going to look when on another earnings call that's recorded for them to listen, Bob Iger gets on there and laments once again that 'we aren't seeing the numbers we hoped for'? The IRS and whoever else, have bigger things to worry about, like people who made 12k dollars in a year and didn't pay their taxes.
@@thehoerscorral8565 I am not a huge fan of conspiracy theories, but this is one of the ones where I truly do believe a huge chunk of that $180M went into some higher up employees within Disney.
Thing is, they're rewarded for making this crap too. They're literally not in it for the money, it's about sending a message for them. They reward the propagandists whether the show is critically well reviewed or not.
You guys wanna laugh? This show has the same budget as house of the dragon...

I keep saying, from the get go, that this show was only produced to launder money. That's why it's so bad.
It cost more than HotD

Intimacy and gender consultants seem to be very expensive nowadays
What I like to think of is "none of this is Canon" simple as that, don't care if official's say it is, it's not
Then just write your own fab fiction? It’ll probably be better.
Seems weird to waste your time on a sub-standard product.
I've been doing that since I first saw The Phantom Menace. Granted, what Disney has done to the franchise is so much worse, but for us real old fans this is still a familiar feeling.
GOOOOOOD THEORY GOOOOD, LET THE HATE FLOW THROUGH YOU

Idc what anyone says. Having Star Wars anything end in modern pop music is just…no. So disgusting.

I thought it was great. It's time to let go of how it's always been done and try something new.
Enjoy the pile of 💩 you're eating from Disney Star Wars.
Yeah, the best part is that not only does the genre of music not fit at all for a story that is supposed to be as grand as Star Wars, but the music was just terrible regardless.
I miss the old Star Wars where every scene in the movies/tv show actually had meaning and a reason for being shown to the audience.
don't forget, the girls spent a good 30 seconds just shouting their names at each other wen they are only a number of feet from each other, fantastic dialogue
Yep lol and they have force power too and didn't use any of it. They just froze there waiting for the platforms to collapse.
One mistake in this video:
The jedi order does not tell them to come home. They tell them to not interfere with the witches, but to stay posted on the planet.
I said the same thing I was pretty sure they didn’t get told to come home.
Came here to say this.
They did get told to come home by the council
@KIDSTATIIC no, in the scene at night, just before torbin drives off to kidnap the kids, indara tells them that they won't allow them to take the kids to coruscant and that they're meddling too much with the witches already. Torbin asks, will they at least allow us to come home? And indara says "no."
Time stamp in the episode is about 20:45
@@KIDSTATIIC No, they did not.
The exact exchange is:
Indara: "They say that we have interfered too much already."

Theory, I don't agree about "pocketbook" being phallic. The reference is literally pocketbook being a reference to money. I understand there was a pause, but that does not mean he was talking about Cojones
same.
Maybe he has a sack full of money rather than a pocketbook ;)
I agree I’ve watched the prequel movies multiple times and never got that feeling in episode 2 that he was being dirty in that sense.
Yeah I agree there, not once did I ever detect that was some kind of Dick joke
Yup same here it was about money imo. Since i was a kid and now
Wait, Obi asks Dex if the Kimonoans are friendly, no? And Dex says “depends on how big your pocket book is”, I’ve always understood that as meaning they roll out the red carpet for rich people but won’t give the time of day to poor people. That was a mildly sexual reference?
Yeah if anything the most sexual thing in the Prequels was Padmes costumes in AoTC
Same. Pretty sure he just said pocketbook rather than wallet. Theory misunderstood that line, but hey, he's not perfect. I understood Theory's point, though. Star Wars usually doesn't have a ton of blatantly sexual stuff in it. Leia with Jabba was one, and that was like, a BIG deal due to how different it was from the overall theme. Plus, it served an important point: to present the evil of Jabba and the Star Wars underworld.
There are a few mild references between Anakin and Padme, but nothing overtly raw. Just basic couple in love stuff.
Worst part to me was always Luke and Leia being... you know. Star Wars nearly went Targaryen back in the day, lmao, but Lucas never let that go any further.
Some of the recent stuff has felt sexual for no reason. I have no issue with all the varieties of sexualitites and lifestyles, so don't presume I'm upset about anything like that. I just feel ANY overt and raw sexual content that serves no point to the plot is out of place in Star Wars. IF they stopped claiming "it's for kids", then it'd be different. But since they DO yell that on every mountain top, well...
I think Theory may have been sarcastic in that bit. Dex is just implying money talks to the Kimonoans.

That's why this whole crap is just nonsensical, Hollywood just follow trend$, then act like they are morally upright, teaching life lessons to the audience, "awarding" movies who features "political" messages, etc.. such hypocritical horseshit smh

I've said it before and I'll say it again, score plays such a large role in the telling of Star Wars. Leitmotifs, battle scores, and yes, even silence, play an integral role in my memories of the OT and Prequels.

Also I like how this episode confirmed that it was all the Witches and Mae's fault when the episode was suppose to show the sins of the Jedi. Koril started to attack which caused Torbin to ignite his lightsaber. Its all their fault and all because Aniseya wanted to insult the Jedi.
Also remember TORBIN took his own life because of what happened in this episode yet here he couldn't care less about the witches, he was eager to have them gone.
I refuse to believe Master Indara somehow killed all the witches at once, it makes no sense. I want to believe that she just knocked them out which would mean that Mae really did kill all the witches when she caused that fire because this episode has done nothing to answer the questions they were building up. So many people were saying that the Jedi did something so heinous and that Mae wasn't Mae but it really was all Mae.
I will say tho in the episode the council actually didnt tell them to come home. Torbin asked if they'll let them go home and Indara responded with no.
Anyways all the signs point to Darth Tenebrous making an appearance. If he does show up then that just might be the only real cool thing the show has ever done.
Thank Yaddle someone else pointed this out, Please read my other comments if you have time to find em. I think they shouldn't have been there, that was the point. If Torbbin hadnt ran off perhapse the Wookiee Jedi wouldnt be potentially partially possessed, because i agree those witches died suddenly, maybe they are still lingering. Torbbin realized, it seems, that if he hadnt went with his rash desire to go home, to defy the orders of the council, try to defy the will of the force.....Wh do Jedi allow slavery in some instances and attempt to defy it in others?

God, how great would that have been?

A story based around the jedi fucking up could have been interesting, but not this…
Im not opposed to a story about a certain group of Jedi fucking up a mission, having to report that fuck up to the council and then having to deal with the repercussions down the line. But what the hell even is this show? What importance do these girls even have? One is constantly flip flopping and has no real motivation and the other is just a cry baby who failed being a jedi and all of it is culminating into what exactly? We were better off getting a revenge plot by Qmir and who created a dark offshoot of sith like the Brotherhood of Darkness of some shit. That would be way more dope than this travesty
Hell, the entire Prequel series was about the Jedi fucking up and having to pay the ultimate price with the destruction of the order. So the flawed Jedi thing has already been done. The Acolyte is just Headlund's fanfic / self therapy for whatever has made her such a damaged person. It bears no resemblance to the real Star Wars universe.
Sure you could have the odd Jedi who makes impulsive decisions, ignores orders, and gets things so wrong that they cause a major fuckup. But those Jedi don't become Masters. If they did, the Jedi Order would've ceased to exist thousands of years before this crap is supposed to be taking place. What's most galling to me is that we're told these are the Jedi at the height of their power, yet all we've seen is weakness and stupidity from them.

Lesbian witches whispering secrets untold, Colleagues turned foes, their stories unfold, An emotional master, his heart in a storm, A homesick padawan, dreams of being home nice and warm,
Mass psychic murders, a tragic ballet, In a diverse cosmos where the Force is gay, Like a cheap lightsabers' diminishing glow, This saga spews out, in a vomitous flow.
So let's raise our glasses to this trainwreck in space, Where lgbtqia+ and broken lore find a place, To The Acolyte’s absurd design, Where the Force weaves tales, far from sublime.
Masterpiece! Bravo sir
"Will they let us come home at least" - "no". I don't think the Jedi said come home unless I'm missing something. I can't find it, but basically everything else sucks yes.. well, except for Torbin's saber skills - that was awesome.
well if they were told not to interfere with the only reason they were on the planet to begin with, why would they be forced to stay?
Thank you, you are 100% correct. I don’t like this show, but theory got this wrong in the video. Jedi council told them even though not to interfere with witches they needed to stay and keep scouting the planet.
I was thinking the same thing! They said they CANT take the twins and CANT come home…that’s why Torbin kidnapped them
The metal detector felt like they were making fun of Star Wars
The entirety of D+ Star Wars has felt like Kathleen Kennedy wants everyone to laugh at Star Wars. Like it was laughed at in the past as dumb nerdy stuff when she suffered under George and Steven but once the prequels brought it once again into the spotlight and made a bunch of money and everyone was talking about it, she had enough. She knew she had to destroy 'this stupid nerdy male fantasy crap' that her stupid nerdy bosses made.
And now she's got the keys to that kingdom, and instead of improving it, like a bitter ex-wife she is doing her level best to completely eradicate and destroy all the good from past Star Wars, so nobody will ever speak good about it again, not if she can help it.
The force is female, indeed.
Now I know they're trying to make Sol into a Qui-Gon replacement. It's so blatantly obvious at this point that I don't think anyone can disagree.
On another note I want to remind you guys of something. They fired Gina Carano just for voicing her political opinions but when it comes to Harvey Weinstein's former personal assistant. They give her, her own show. They'd rather be associated with the latter than the former. That should tell you everything you need to know about this company. They don't care about art and worse they don't even seem to care about profit. Honestly? Let's not fool ourselves. Their motivations are far darker then incompetence.
Have you ever heard the tragedy of Leslye Headland the Foolish? It’s an old KK legend.
Leslye Headland was a woke writer of the alphabet brigade, so arrogant and so foolish she used her influence to destroy Star Wars canon… She had such a knowledge of the social justices that she could even put her agendas in a franchise that had no need for them. The woke side of writing is a pathway to strange things many consider to be unnatural. She became so arrogant… the only thing she was afraid of was losing her credibility, which eventually, of course, she did. Unfortunately, she taught her apprentice, Amandla Stenberg, everything she knew, then her apprentice scissored her in her sleep. Ironic. She tried to cancel others, while only cancelling herself.
I always thought the pocketbook joke was about the Jedi Order probably having access to a shitton of money Because they're connected to the Gov
It was. Or just a joke about money in general. It wasn’t a dick joke. There’s not any of those in Star Wars. There’s sexy outfits but no lewd jokes or comments.
I took it to mean the Kaminoans will work for whoever is paying, as long as they're paying a lot. A millions strong army isn't cheap to produce, military hardware and all.
I agree this mf just using hate to sell lightsabers now, he used to be real. Sucks to say but it happens
You guys are missing the fact that the DELIVERY of that line was lascivious! "It depend upon how BIG your... ahem... drum-roll... wait for it!... POCKETBOOK is." Every listener is expecting to hear something lascivious. "How BIG your PACKAGE is!"
@@alexmuenster2102 i guess looking it as an adult I could see that. I watched this movie when I was like 8.
I know we always joked about Disney killing Star Wars… but this is legit assassination of our once beloved brand.
Its $ 815,000.00 per minute of episode. Those are million dollar Jedi robes
Maybe coated in real gold!
Disney: "Yeah, those lightsabers? They're really just d*ldos with a headlight"
My sister is very open about the fact she has a light up dildo and i hate the fact she told me.
I've been thinking that since the first episode. What're their lightsabers so girthy lmao
Sol used all his spell slots for the day, needed a long rest.
My boy out of Mana
We don't see the Zabrak with the rest of the witches. I have a feeling she is still alive.
You have the force. And there’s a collapsed bridge with only two people on it. Why would you use the force to help the 2 girls out? No no, just waste your force energy to save this bridge for some reason. Because space taxes paid for that bridge, so forget those girls. Save the bridge.
The bridge is a better actor than the twins
"I have learned to defeat...Death!"
"I was alive before I was born!"
"Okay...you win."
Qui-Gon even thought that Anakin may have been concealed by the midiclorians. But this show, nah, we can sense something is up from light years away. And the fact that they brought up their "high midiclorians" but somehow they weren't concealed by it????. I'm just angry, nothing of this show makes any sense let alone should exist.
They didn't sense the twins. This was a dead planet thanks to the Great Hyperapace Disaster. And when they noticed that it was now full of life they had reason to investigate.
I think you mean "conceived", not "concealed".
Because this was made with the entire purpose of going "nuh uh, we were first, not Anakin. And we were better". So it only took the surface of Anakin's story without understanding the core and the details.
@@Tkscz Their origin is completely different from Anakin's though. Anakin was conceived by the will of The Force itself. The twins were made when a Force user channeled the power of a vergence to split one into two.
Yes, holding the bridges up instead of the girls made no sense, but lets be brutally honest here. NONE of the usage of the force by Jedi or Sith have been consistent or make sense the vast majority of the time throughout all the SW universe. We see force users continually force push and force stop weapons (including light sabers), bowling over myriads of bad guys or moving structures that weight a ton, but not once do they use it in light saber battle to get the upper hand, even though they have used it on a limited, non-lethal basis during duels. Many a duel could have been ended quickly by a little force push over a cliff or something. It has never been consistent or logically used in any of the media. The only explanation is that there is a code of ethics amongst duelers that victory or defeat is based on your light saber abilities and not using the force lethally. Why a Sith who are out to destroy the Jedi would be cool with following rules makes any sense makes no sense to me, bu I don't know...
Because of the titles of theory’s videos, I have yet to watch a single episode of this show 😂 seems like I’m not missing too much
Same dont have a interest in this show
I mean if you have the same opinions about Star Wars as theory does then you won’t like the show, but if you have the ability to think for yourself and not just have blind hate it’s an ok show nothing spectacular but it’s not anywhere near as bad as this dude makes it seem, he also either doesn’t understand the story whatsoever or he’s purposely being disingenuous about the shows writing and story
@@TerribleTake Lmao, you clearly don't know shit about star wars. The show is garbage, the writing is garbage and your taste is trash.
@@TerribleTake I see myself watching the show fully and giving it a chance but I’ll admit was hoping for more than what it seems they have done. I’ll admit tho this opinion comes from me not seeing much at all yet except for the teasers and a few clips here and there from the episodes
Don't give views or money to people that hate you
