Dear Jar Jar Binks, We apologize for all the horrible things we have said about you during the The Phantom Menace days of old. You are officially no longer the worst thing to happen to the Star Wars franchise. The Acolyte is now the roof of that. Signed all of us.
Ah, but they honestly believe that a fan of Star Wars will always be a fan and can never stop being a fan because of a lack of quality. They look at the fan base much like any sports team looks at its fan base. To them the fan base is just baked in and will be there. They don't understand how and why people become fans of entertainment franchises and don't appear to have a clue as to how non-sports entertainment builds its fan base far differently than any sports team does.
Its true. They didn´t make it for the fans because they want to produce content for the upcoming generation to influence them into transgender topics. The many clinics that popped up in the last years for gender surgeries need a constant stream of new customers. But regardless they still want the fans to finance the propaganda.
Yeah, the first line was them thinking their garbage product would actually be popular. So they were confident the 'trolls' and 'bigots' wouldn't be needed, as they believed they would get their ratings anyway from the 'audience that isn't there'. So when suddenly they end up with an extreme case of 'shocked Pikachu face' that is very much not the case, it hurts them in their narcissistic hearts. And we know how narcissists are - they will never admit they are wrong, so, of course, they blame others. So here comes the second line of your post ;).
I canceled my Disney+ subscription yesterday. I am over it. I don't need to pay $25/mo to be told I am a terrible human being. for not liking garbage television.
**Palpatine:** There is a great disturbance in the Force. **Vader:** I have felt it. **Palpatine:** We have a new enemy. Star Wars, the offspring of George Lucas. **Vader:** How is that possible? **Palpatine:** Search your feelings, Lord Vader. You will know it to be true. George Lucas' creation has grown beyond our original vision. **Vader:** If he could be turned, he would become a powerful ally. **Palpatine:** Yes. He would be a great asset. Can it be done? **Vader:** He will join us or die, my master.
It's so bad. The writing is bad. The logic is bad. The acting is bad. The directing is bad. And worst of all, it has so many mistakes that any Star Wars nerd can point out. Disney, and specifically Kathleen Kennedy, have no proper plan, no idea what they are doing, and are ruining Star Wars so badly.
The people on UA-cam are more honest than all the critics and shills out there . And when you find a UA-camrs gaslighting or lying so easy to unsub and move on .
i'm gonna say this: a 12 year old has nothing but the most sincere and honest intention to write themselves living within the world she or he loves. this woman made a world nobody would ever want to live in only to reflect the family conflicts she holds, because she is queer and all but far from mature enough to give a call to her sister and make amends.

It is not about them giving a new audience something, it is about removing something from an old audience. They don't want the toy, but they will rip the wheels off it so we cannot play with it either. Then, when we throw it in the trash and walk away, they are satisfied they destroyed something for us. Then, they dig it out of the trash, paint it pink and black and try to resell it with square blocks of wood where the wheels once where and then screech "Why is it not rolling?"
they wanna pretend like they're doing positive change back stealing the hard work previous franchise instead of making they're own story. They know very well if they tried to make they're own content nobody will watch it.
Wait a minute. Disney is changing business focus from being a movie and entertainment company to being a circus. They didnt have to say it. Just look at all the clowns they hire.
The problem is when the leadership of corporations cares more about his ego and less about profits and the board of directors refuse to constrain him. People like Bob Iger will quite happily drive your corporation off a cliff before they’d admit they’ve made a mistake. He’s too rich to be affected by anything catastrophic happening to Disney.
I'd argue that critics don't love it. Its just they aren't willing to publish their true thoughts about the series because they fear no longer having the access they gain by parroting Disney's press releases.
Critics are woke Instagram trend setters, they're elevated by companies and in return elevate those same companies in reviews. The "critic" system is as scripted as these terrible shows. They get early access because the studios know they want more "stunning and brave" LGBT strong independent woman content. Hollywood is completely out of touch and they can't fix it until they come to the realization the world doesn't want feminism or LGBT content.
lol it's true! oh wait, there is no truth, only social constructs ... uhm. no. There are social constructs, and there is Truth - only the wokies can't tell the difference. *BEEP BEEP Psycho alert* btw, the best example of a "social construct" is ... yep ... Wokery itself
"When two witches love each other very much, witch daddy takes their midichlorians, and gives them to The Thread to give them to witch mommy..." The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural.
Eh. I think George Lucas did enough damage himself, even when it still was. The Rodent House at least brought me back, even momentarily, to see if it could be salvaged. I didn’t stay long.
There is a blacksploitation comedy called Gay N------ From Outer Space, where a bunch of gay black men are aliens and teach men on rarth to be gay because mennare tired of women's s---. I think Disney saw that title and premise and decided "hey, that should be star wars"
If you've played Grand Theft Auto Vice City, there's a Civil Asset Mission, where you take over an Ice Cream business where the Ice Cream was a front for drug operations. The old lady in the scene when you buy the business hated children and said "Mommy doesn't love you, she hates you!" That's what I'm reminded of, of Leslye Headland and her lesbian mothers giving "Spice Cream" to kids.
They’re people actually believe “for every legacy fan you lose you’ll gain three new fans, here for the representation”……ya ok This is what happens when you believe in “my truth” or narrative > reality
At the end of the day, they can blame viewers (or non-viewers) all they want, but the only responsible party for any media is those involved in creating it. Thats where the fault begins and that’s where the fault ends. Deflect all day long but no one is going to accept that as reality.
Imagine someone buying your favorite candy bar brand, replacing it with chocolate-covered dog turds, then saying it's YOUR fault that you don't like it anymore. somehow even THAT seems better than what Disney is doing to Star Wars
Marvel (the comic book company not the film studio) sold off the film and TV rights to their individual IPs between 80s and 90s and X-Men was owned by Fox until Disney bought it. Sony still has film and TV rights to Spider-Man.
It IS the writing, it IS the terrible characters that are so unlikable, it IS the destruction of decades of beloved lore, and above all it IS the constant Agenda Pushing Narrative of EVERYTHING Disney is shoving out there. Star Wars is dead, it died with the Rise of Palpatine, it just took until The Acolyte for the autopsy to be completed. And the Report is in, and it is the finding of the coroner that Star Wars has been murdered, murdered by KK, Bob Iger, and Disney. And George Lucas is an accomplice for selling his Baby to Disney in the first place. #KKMustgo #FireIger #BoycottDisney #StarWarsisdead
How much would anyone be called Racist, Sexist or Homophobic for forcing encouraging, suggesting or even joking about any movie or show possibly being mostly Straight White or Male!
The favorite argument for anyone “defending” this horrible show is: “you hate homosexuals”. No, I dislike bad stories, bad scripts, bad acting, and a murder mystery without the mystery. The only mystery of this series is how they got the green light to make this in the first place and how they placed the Star Wars sticker on it. What’s really funny is this: I get the strong feeling they aren’t even watching this, I know they do not know nor understand the premise of Star Wars, and their only explanation is “this is great, you’re a fake fan, and you hate homosexuals”. What they don’t know, I don’t care anymore. I realized while defending my position is I truly don’t care anymore about Star Wars. I was going through the motions in my retorts. I don’t love it anymore, I don’t hate it, I have reached total apathy. They can have it, they can alienate the fan base, and once everyone is gone will have no more viewership or incoming money to make more. Just like Zach Snyder’s DCEU it will lose customers and will not make money … therefore no more Star Wars content. Sorry you have to keep watching WDWPro. But I will continue watching your analysis of this ongoing train wreck.
Rule of the consumer based industry. 1. If you want the consumers time and money, Make content/products that the customer wants. 2. Do not insert political or social agenda's 3. Do not insult the consumer. 4 If the consumer is not viewing or purchasing your product then you failed to create content / product for the consumer 5. The Consumer is always right. It's that simple. (holloywood/disney) you have failed with all 5 rules of a consumer industry.
I also used to think the worst thing that happened to Star Wars was the introduction of Jar Jar Binks. Then Kathleen Kennedy came, she saw, and she killed the franchise. IMO everything that she has done was very calculated and deliberate. She has spent her entire tenure at Lucasfilm besmirching George Lucas's legacy and has tried and failed to recreate it with "her" vision. The Acolyte will be a dumpster fire that can be seen in a galaxy far, far away.
Star wars went from a massive part of my life with the movies, books and toys. To i dont really care any more.... to theres no way in hell id let my kids watch this disgusting shit
Alas, it has taken things getting this bad for folks to start seeing the moral erosion, perversion, and wickedness that has been subtly woven into media for decades. We gladly indulged it as long as we were entertained in the process, and many people have continued to bathe in the seepage out of habit or fear of being left alone with their thoughts for awhile. A Renaissance is coming, but it first has to get dark enough for society and culture to be desperate for the change. The uglier and darker it gets is an indication of how entrenched, deceived, and tolerant we have become.
oK, there's no way they didn't know this was going to tank the franchise. It's so blatant and insulting that it can't be defended. So what was the point in all of this. So they've effectively killed the franchise now. So what? What's the plan now? None of this is drawing a female audience for sure and they've now fully disenfranchised the male audience from the franchise. So what was the point? What could they possibly be doing with really ANYTHING at Lucas Films at this point since literally everything they've had their hands on they've ruined and they're out of IP to work with? This slop makes Jar Jar look like a gold plated hero by comparison.
I understand how Salon can be ignorant of how a movie franchise fan base works. They know NOTHING about the nerd culture that made Star Wars a juggernaut IP. However, I cannot forgive Bob Iger for having the same ignorance. How can the CEO of Disney, in its entire 100 year history, not know the hearts and minds of its majority fans? The trajectory of Disney Star Wars is atrocious.
Remember via House of Dragon: it's a "Rated R" show. Star Wars is made for "families". It should have a far greater reach and viewership, not less. That tells me a lot about how unpopular Acolyte is.
What I don’t understand at all is that in the acolyte they have witches. But in Tiana’s bayou adventure they couldn’t have voodoo or the villain because it would offend people……MAKE IT MAKE SENSE
There is no fun anymore, we watched our favourite shows for enjoyment. They made us happy. I cannot remember the last I saw something that I enjoyed within Star Wars, Indianna Jones. Dr Who. All gone. I've moved on, they can have the rotting corpse.
They aren’t getting my money and they aren’t getting any of my documented views. On the occasion they release a movie I want to see, I buy a ticket to a movie from a different studio and sneak in.
I’m beginning to believe that this show was never meant to be good. I believe the purpose of this show was to cause as much division and controversy as possible. Doing so will validate the claim the “toxic fans” are the problem. I have to wonder if the best thing to do is to ignore these shows all together, including reviews. I can’t think of any other logical reason for this crap.
I think my favorite part was when they doubled down on fire working in space. I guess they decided to show that hey in Star Wars fire is magic and can also Burn Down Stone Mountains from the inside out.
Another point. How did torbin become a master if he was a padawan at the time of the incident and when he came back he just meditated and didn’t talk to anyone?
We're sick to death of politics in real life. We watch Star Wars for escapism, for a brief period of relief from the madness of our real lives in this freak show of a century. So naturally we dislike it when the politic agendas are shoved down our throats even in the escapism we need to heal ourselves. And then they wonder why we don't like it!
When it's all said and done, the ratings for this show will be so profoundly bad, The Bob Iger Company will have no excuses and won't be able to cite toxic fans or review bombing. It simply won't wash. They'll have to answer to investors.
21:40. Star Trek was woke. The problem, is that what is being presented now is 'tactless' woke. And easily interpreted as toxic woke. Being woke, sympathy/empathy for the downtrodden is noble. But you can have a good idea and present it in a completely horrible manner.
Another Factor complicating the subscription models as engagement theory is that a number of those subscriptions are part of package plans. For example I have Disney plus because I have a Verizon account for my phone. I can't remember the last time I even opened up the Disney app, if this was a service I was paying for I would have dropped it a long time ago.
Weinstein’s old Smithers said in one of the interviews while the show was in production “if (The Acolyte) fails that would be terrifying because that would be on me”. I know that “offense archaeology” is a very popular unpaid career for leftists, but is there anyone outside of that camp who can find that clip?
"That'S an update fom Renegade's video" ...OK, maybe you got to see an unreleased version, but the published video has a pinned comment explaining he cut out that part.
Not watching it. I have seen Star Wars from the day it started in 1977. Tired of decades of Star Wars rich history being destroyed just to please a DEI agenda. After Star Wars 1 throu 6 it has gone down hill. The REAL Star Wars #1 through #6. If it is not made by George Lucas.. It is not Star Wars period..which means I am 👉 #BoycottDisney #BoycottLucasFilm 👇 Just some honesty people. They started ignoring the cannon characters that fans actually go to the movies to see and use DEI as a way to just do as they please ignoring all of the decades of amazing history George Walton Lucas Jr. created.. It is just sad and a blight on George Walton Lucas Jr. legacy. I will give you a heads up now.. If they use the DEI Agenda and destroy cannon classic characters. The fans of the movies are going to hit back with major backlash.. So no matter what they try to say.. Guys don't want to see it. Women also don't want to see it either. Which means Feminists will blame men for not seeing it..They are insulting the LBQT people and just making people hate us more with their DEI . I am gay and sick of the disney racism DEI . 👉And before you go screaming racism, sexism, misogynists, bigotry.👈 Fans want a rich history of character they love. Amazing well written story without any agendas or DEI. They are also sick of the directors and Disney using fans as escape goats for bad acting and badly written story. But if Directors, Actors, and writers start calling fans names and accusing them of being toxic men, racism, sexism, anti-female, or bigots with the DEI agenda. Fans will fire back and these big companies forget that what makes a movie money is the fans. You insult them with name calling and accusing them of being something just because they want a decades rich story well written without DEI. They will boycott your movies. This is just common sense .
I am one of the ones that have not watched an episode because I gave up. I am canceling my subscription this week. I can’t trust Disney with my kids time. My kids and I never finished Ahsoka. That was one of my kids favorite characters. They were (heartbroken is too strong), but incredibly disappointed.
So wait, Tiana’s bayou adventure is lame and can’t have voodoo because it portrays the occult but Star Wars can show witches doing a ceremony portraying the occult?
I just think they could've told better stories than the ones disney has made. I remember reading Tales Of The Bounty Hunters and thinking it's cool how they are telling good stories that are outside of the movies. Now it's like the people telling the stories don't even know how it should go, and they're just pulling things out of whatever they personally want the way the story should go.
I haven’t watched it either and I feel like I owe these reviewers, who have to suffer through this series. I almost want to tell them to “Stop, the review is not worth it!” “Don’t torture yourself like this!”
I'm unsubscribing from Disney for this. I'm going to go read the Legend Novels like Crystal Star and re-watch the Original Trilogy. The Prequels were probelmatic but at least still fun & recognizable Star Wars. The Sequels were problematic but at least they had potential had Kennedy actually read a darn Star Wars Novel or at least done some research into the Universe Wookiepdiea anyone!? Seriously!? This?! THIS!? This is The End. Until Disney scraps everything to do with The Acolyte and frankly reboots Star Wars to follow the Legends Novels to the T! Starting with a beautiful 2D animated version of Truce of Bakurar, I will not be watching anything Star Wars they release! Worse even then if they do that, I will still have my doubts, and my trust in Disney for entertainment is gone!! GONE. LIKE THE DUST OF ALDERAAN!
Thank you for making this. My old boss would say, yoj want a bad employee to get the hint, hit him in the pocket. We got suspended and we weren't making tips. We need to cancel Disney as a collective. Unsubscribe to anything Disney. #NOTMYSTARWARS
I am looking forward to season 2 of Andor. While not everyone's cup of tea, it had some great writing and acting. It will become part of my Star Wars viewing. Episodes 1,2,3, Andor 1 & 2 Episodes 4,5,6, The Mandolorian 1 & 2 (maybe). That's it. No more, especially this garbage being spewed out now.
Dear Jar Jar Binks, We apologize for all the horrible things we have said about you during the The Phantom Menace days of old. You are officially no longer the worst thing to happen to the Star Wars franchise. The Acolyte is now the roof of that. Signed all of us.
I want to apologize also
I never hated Jar Jar but ya it's true.
it's only ep 3... there is more roof to go higher or be shattered in horribleness
Dear George Lucas, I'm so sorry I said anything negative about the prequels. Please come back!
No... Jar Jar was the Horse Armor of Star Wars...
The Bud Light of Star Wars.
Your Space Witch drinks Bud Light, and your Space Twins take flea rinse bubble baths.
Star Wars is the Bud Light of franchises.
Well said!

@Violentic81 lol it took me a few seconds for the reference to kick in but real funny nonetheless
Simple but gets to the point.
Dis-me is how I say it.
Woke Volk despise the human race and resent being a part of it.
THis explains EVERYTHING they do.
They told us it wasn’t for us so we didn’t watch it. Now they wonder why no one is watching it.
They put shit into the pie and now they are saying “You ain’t pie lovers!” Because we don’t want the shit pie.
We are all out of shit pies, mate. We only have shit sandwiches left. And if you don't like bread, well...
I appreciate any "The Help" reference I can get lol
I canceled my Disney+ subscription yesterday. I am over it. I don't need to pay $25/mo to be told I am a terrible human being. for not liking garbage television.

“No… NO! That’s not true! That's impossible!”

There is a great disturbance in the Force.

I have felt it.
**Palpatine:**
We have a new enemy. Star Wars, the offspring of George Lucas.
**Vader:**
How is that possible?
**Palpatine:**
Search your feelings, Lord Vader. You will know it to be true. George Lucas' creation has grown beyond our original vision.
**Vader:**
If he could be turned, he would become a powerful ally.
**Palpatine:**
Yes. He would be a great asset. Can it be done?
**Vader:**
He will join us or die, my master.
They want your money but you're not allowed to criticize it.
They can’t have my money and I won’t watch it to criticize.
LaReina is so right: the only thing left of Star Wars is talking about what went wrong with it. All I loved as a child is gone.
All I loved as a child still exists because it can’t be taken away.
And that, is their evil plan all along
Watching and listening to some of these videos here on UA-cam is so much more entertaining than actual Disney Star Wars itself.
It's the only way I consume Star Wars now.
Very true. I didn’t even watch this crap last night.
The Acolyte-filled with lame and gay chics.
I can’t wait to see what South Park does with this trash.
It's so bad. The writing is bad. The logic is bad. The acting is bad. The directing is bad. And worst of all, it has so many mistakes that any Star Wars nerd can point out.
Disney, and specifically Kathleen Kennedy, have no proper plan, no idea what they are doing, and are ruining Star Wars so badly.
At one point Bob Iger wanted to sell Disney to Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, so he had Star Wars turned into a homosexual festival to appease Tim Cook.
"Citizen to the ship!" 😂😂😂
Hollywood filled our heads with hero's for a century and expected us not to stand up when they act like villains
Underrated comment.
LESLYE HEADLAND WAS HARVEY WEINSTEINS ASSISTANCE AND BOOKED ALL OF HARVEYS HOTELS AND GUESTS
Disney made a show where even in another galaxy black kids dont have a father.
You bad boy.
What!!!!! Are you saying they are sending our tax dollars to other galaxies for WIC, Title VIII, TANF, EBT, SNAP, and GA?

Yeah, Leslye Block Headland... you're the baddie.
The people on UA-cam are more honest than all the critics and shills out there . And when you find a UA-camrs gaslighting or lying so easy to unsub and move on .
The writing on this show is worse than a 12 year old Mary Sue fanfiction writer would produce.
The Acolyte is really just that, a childish fanfic-tier production.
yep at least with the 12 year old there is the excuse of age and the hope that as they mature their writing will improve.
As someone who once was a 12 year old Mary sue fanfic writer- full agree. Although, it is just as convoluted!!
i'm gonna say this: a 12 year old has nothing but the most sincere and honest intention to write themselves living within the world she or he loves.
this woman made a world nobody would ever want to live in only to reflect the family conflicts she holds, because she is queer and all but far from mature enough to give a call to her sister and make amends.

Disney,-stop trying to change existing franchises. Just make a new Disney Witch Princess with pop out force baby, but don’t call it Star Wars.
I agree, but that's not the point. They want to usurp the popularity of the existing brands, and destroy what came before.
That's not a lot to ask, really
It's not about making good shows anymore, it's about force feeding unwanted ideologies unfortunately.
It is not about them giving a new audience something, it is about removing something from an old audience. They don't want the toy, but they will rip the wheels off it so we cannot play with it either. Then, when we throw it in the trash and walk away, they are satisfied they destroyed something for us.

Wait a minute. Disney is changing business focus from being a movie and entertainment company to being a circus. They didnt have to say it. Just look at all the clowns they hire.
They told us old fans to go away, when are they going to come after their modern audiences that didn't show up either with that same energy?
Apparently this modern audience has too many student loan debts to subscribe.
They don’t have to tell me to go away. George Lucas had already run me off.
Critics love it, audience hates it. Disney doesn’t make money off critics.
Critics are making money off Disney 'cause they're payed to praise sh*t
@@Anna-fw7lm You mean how much money was passed _under the table_ to the critics.

It's all that Estrogen that the series is putting out.
lol it's true!
oh wait, there is no truth, only social constructs ...
uhm. no. There are social constructs, and there is Truth - only the wokies can't tell the difference. *BEEP BEEP Psycho alert*
btw, the best example of a "social construct" is ... yep ... Wokery itself
"the acolyte is so bad not even pirates are downloading it" was said on other videos but worth mentioning again 😂
I now think why it costs 180m. It's that a good portion of the budget is given to the critics to convince them to give it a good review.
Marketing is not included in that 180 mill. Marketing would be another 100 mill at least.
But yeah, Disney def pays for likes
It’s laundering dirty political money.
Bots are giving good reviews too
Yeah money for bots. Call them out when you see them.
I read they pay $50 for those reviews and there isn’t an abundance of them to drive up costs much.

Globally it was 1/10th of the viewership.
Time for shareholder lawsuits.
They put it into their shareholder information, that they prioritize the message over profits.

When is Star Wars not Star Wars-----when its Disney !!
Eh. I think George Lucas did enough damage himself, even when it still was. The Rodent House at least brought me back, even momentarily, to see if it could be salvaged. I didn’t stay long.
Disney, please sell Star Wars to Universal so that they can reboot this disaster!

And while we're at will force them to give up Marvel too!!
@@theterribleclaw4285and Pixar and X-men
@@RossM3838 isn't X-Men part of Marvel?
Marvel (the comic book company not the film studio) sold off the film and TV rights to their individual IPs between 80s and 90s and X-Men was owned by Fox until Disney bought it. Sony still has film and TV rights to Spider-Man.
Easy, I already boycott Disney in general. They have gotten me to not care, so its easy to just walk away.
It IS the writing, it IS the terrible characters that are so unlikable, it IS the destruction of decades of beloved lore, and above all it IS the constant Agenda Pushing Narrative of EVERYTHING Disney is shoving out there. Star Wars is dead, it died with the Rise of Palpatine, it just took until The Acolyte for the autopsy to be completed. And the Report is in, and it is the finding of the coroner that Star Wars has been murdered, murdered by KK, Bob Iger, and Disney. And George Lucas is an accomplice for selling his Baby to Disney in the first place. #KKMustgo #FireIger #BoycottDisney #StarWarsisdead
How much would anyone be called Racist, Sexist or Homophobic for forcing encouraging, suggesting or even joking about any movie or show possibly being mostly Straight White or Male!
The favorite argument for anyone “defending” this horrible show is: “you hate homosexuals”. No, I dislike bad stories, bad scripts, bad acting, and a murder mystery without the mystery. The only mystery of this series is how they got the green light to make this in the first place and how they placed the Star Wars sticker on it. What’s really funny is this: I get the strong feeling they aren’t even watching this, I know they do not know nor understand the premise of Star Wars, and their only explanation is “this is great, you’re a fake fan, and you hate homosexuals”. What they don’t know, I don’t care anymore. I realized while defending my position is I truly don’t care anymore about Star Wars. I was going through the motions in my retorts. I don’t love it anymore, I don’t hate it, I have reached total apathy. They can have it, they can alienate the fan base, and once everyone is gone will have no more viewership or incoming money to make more. Just like Zach Snyder’s DCEU it will lose customers and will not make money … therefore no more Star Wars content.
Sorry you have to keep watching WDWPro. But I will continue watching your analysis of this ongoing train wreck.
Rule of the consumer based industry.
1. If you want the consumers time and money, Make content/products that the customer wants.
2. Do not insert political or social agenda's
3. Do not insult the consumer.
4 If the consumer is not viewing or purchasing your product then you failed to create content / product for the consumer
5. The Consumer is always right.
It's that simple. (holloywood/disney) you have failed with all 5 rules of a consumer industry.
Clearly there's someone bankrolling all this SJW garbage. Dark money must be coming in faster than whatever money they are losing (which is a lot!).
I also used to think the worst thing that happened to Star Wars was the introduction of Jar Jar Binks. Then Kathleen Kennedy came, she saw, and she killed the franchise. IMO everything that she has done was very calculated and deliberate. She has spent her entire tenure at Lucasfilm besmirching George Lucas's legacy and has tried and failed to recreate it with "her" vision. The Acolyte will be a dumpster fire that can be seen in a galaxy far, far away.
if that Wookie Jedi is wearing robes, are we to take that to mean that Chewie has chosen to go around bare-assed on purpose????
Star wars went from a massive part of my life with the movies, books and toys. To i dont really care any more.... to theres no way in hell id let my kids watch this disgusting shit
Amen!
Men buy crap they love, a lesson Disney is learning show by show.
Correct. I gave up. Cancelled Disney (which I was getting for free) after Asoka
Alas, it has taken things getting this bad for folks to start seeing the moral erosion, perversion, and wickedness that has been subtly woven into media for decades. We gladly indulged it as long as we were entertained in the process, and many people have continued to bathe in the seepage out of habit or fear of being left alone with their thoughts for awhile. A Renaissance is coming, but it first has to get dark enough for society and culture to be desperate for the change. The uglier and darker it gets is an indication of how entrenched, deceived, and tolerant we have become.
"Please sir, can I have some more Star Wars?"
"Not until you've watched all Disney's Star Lezbiuns fetish fan-fiction. Ay, where you going?"
oK, there's no way they didn't know this was going to tank the franchise. It's so blatant and insulting that it can't be defended. So what was the point in all of this. So they've effectively killed the franchise now. So what? What's the plan now? None of this is drawing a female audience for sure and they've now fully disenfranchised the male audience from the franchise. So what was the point? What could they possibly be doing with really ANYTHING at Lucas Films at this point since literally everything they've had their hands on they've ruined and they're out of IP to work with? This slop makes Jar Jar look like a gold plated hero by comparison.
I understand how Salon can be ignorant of how a movie franchise fan base works. They know NOTHING about the nerd culture that made Star Wars a juggernaut IP. However, I cannot forgive Bob Iger for having the same ignorance. How can the CEO of Disney, in its entire 100 year history, not know the hearts and minds of its majority fans? The trajectory of Disney Star Wars is atrocious.
As I lay on my couch listening. I'll watch all of your reviews before I'll waste 44 min of my life watching the Acolyte
Rip soldier, you died for nothing
Remember via House of Dragon: it's a "Rated R" show. Star Wars is made for "families". It should have a far greater reach and viewership, not less. That tells me a lot about how unpopular Acolyte is.
What I don’t understand at all is that in the acolyte they have witches. But in Tiana’s bayou adventure they couldn’t have voodoo or the villain because it would offend people……MAKE IT MAKE SENSE
There is no fun anymore, we watched our favourite shows for enjoyment. They made us happy. I cannot remember the last I saw something that I enjoyed within Star Wars, Indianna Jones. Dr Who. All gone. I've moved on, they can have the rotting corpse.
What in the world is up with Disney and their actresses with their eyes being so far apart. 😂😂😂
So crazy how the twins share no physical traits with the mother that carried them..
Remember folks, hate watching is a big win for Disney. If you must please find a way to not give Disney views.
Agree not a f….cent!
They aren’t getting my money and they aren’t getting any of my documented views. On the occasion they release a movie I want to see, I buy a ticket to a movie from a different studio and sneak in.
I’m beginning to believe that this show was never meant to be good. I believe the purpose of this show was to cause as much division and controversy as possible. Doing so will validate the claim the “toxic fans” are the problem. I have to wonder if the best thing to do is to ignore these shows all together, including reviews. I can’t think of any other logical reason for this crap.
Idk. I think it was made like 4 years ago back when they actually thought people would accept it
George Lucas said he made Star Wars for 10 year olds.
Is it still made for 10 year olds??
The ones who made this are,mentally.
only the ones they're trying to gr00m
Yea, then he showed all of us in graphic detail, anakin dismembered and torched half to death.. yea, ok, George
The Acolyte now pushing blatant Satanism with latest episode.🤡
star wars has always been satanic, how is this new?
To qute a Twilight zone episode."if our cause is to die then all that we hold dear let be buried in hallow ground."
The absolute worst.
I think my favorite part was when they doubled down on fire working in space. I guess they decided to show that hey in Star Wars fire is magic and can also Burn Down Stone Mountains from the inside out.
Another point. How did torbin become a master if he was a padawan at the time of the incident and when he came back he just meditated and didn’t talk to anyone?
Next Tuesday when the Acolyte starts i plan to turn on A New Hope. Disney only counts the numbers, well i want to watch Star Wars, so i will.
FYI splash mountain has a 40 minute wait 30 minutes after park opening and it is at the back of Tokyo Disney it is raining and it is a Thursday.
We're sick to death of politics in real life. We watch Star Wars for escapism, for a brief period of relief from the madness of our real lives in this freak show of a century. So naturally we dislike it when the politic agendas are shoved down our throats even in the escapism we need to heal ourselves. And then they wonder why we don't like it!
The Acolyte has officially jumped the Jar Jar
Disney stocks going back down let's hope it stays like that now.
What they’re doing to Star Wars is the equivalent of stringing up the king’s corpse in front of his castle. This is mockery.
And a good king at that.
When it's all said and done, the ratings for this show will be so profoundly bad, The Bob Iger Company will have no excuses and won't be able to cite toxic fans or review bombing. It simply won't wash. They'll have to answer to investors.
DEI, EEO and Affirmative Action are all the same movement with a different name or title!
Think about this: House of the Dragon *had* their “the Last Jedi” with season 8 of Game of Thrones. And they came back.
Disney has gone totally Evil
I agree Lew - without people getting footage and pics, the traitor might have gotten away with his coup. Thank you for your point.
21:40. Star Trek was woke. The problem, is that what is being presented now is 'tactless' woke. And easily interpreted as toxic woke. Being woke, sympathy/empathy for the downtrodden is noble. But you can have a good idea and present it in a completely horrible manner.
It's pure virtue signaling
Mediocre? You're being very generous
Extremely generous 😂
Another Factor complicating the subscription models as engagement theory is that a number of those subscriptions are part of package plans. For example I have Disney plus because I have a Verizon account for my phone. I can't remember the last time I even opened up the Disney app, if this was a service I was paying for I would have dropped it a long time ago.
Weinstein’s old Smithers said in one of the interviews while the show was in production “if (The Acolyte) fails that would be terrifying because that would be on me”. I know that “offense archaeology” is a very popular unpaid career for leftists, but is there anyone outside of that camp who can find that clip?
"That'S an update fom Renegade's video" ...OK, maybe you got to see an unreleased version, but the published video has a pinned comment explaining he cut out that part.
Not watching it.
I have seen Star Wars from the day it started in 1977. Tired of decades of Star Wars rich history being destroyed just to please a DEI agenda. After Star Wars 1 throu 6 it has gone down hill. The REAL Star Wars #1 through #6. If it is not made by George Lucas.. It is not Star Wars period..which means I am 👉 #BoycottDisney #BoycottLucasFilm
👇
Just some honesty people.
They started ignoring the cannon characters that fans actually go to the movies to see and use DEI as a way to just do as they please ignoring all of the decades of amazing history George Walton Lucas Jr. created.. It is just sad and a blight on George Walton Lucas Jr. legacy. I will give you a heads up now.. If they use the DEI Agenda and destroy cannon classic characters. The fans of the movies are going to hit back with major backlash.. So no matter what they try to say.. Guys don't want to see it. Women also don't want to see it either. Which means Feminists will blame men for not seeing it..They are insulting the LBQT people and just making people hate us more with their DEI . I am gay and sick of the disney racism DEI .
👉And before you go screaming racism, sexism, misogynists, bigotry.👈 Fans want a rich history of character they love. Amazing well written story without any agendas or DEI. They are also sick of the directors and Disney using fans as escape goats for bad acting and badly written story. But if Directors, Actors, and writers start calling fans names and accusing them of being toxic men, racism, sexism, anti-female, or bigots with the DEI agenda. Fans will fire back and these big companies forget that what makes a movie money is the fans. You insult them with name calling and accusing them of being something just because they want a decades rich story well written without DEI. They will boycott your movies. This is just common sense .
I am one of the ones that have not watched an episode because I gave up. I am canceling my subscription this week.
I can’t trust Disney with my kids time.
My kids and I never finished Ahsoka. That was one of my kids favorite characters. They were (heartbroken is too strong), but incredibly disappointed.
So wait, Tiana’s bayou adventure is lame and can’t have voodoo because it portrays the occult but Star Wars can show witches doing a ceremony portraying the occult?
Good team you got. Good discussion. I enjoyed it. We're winning.
I just think they could've told better stories than the ones disney has made. I remember reading Tales Of The Bounty Hunters and thinking it's cool how they are telling good stories that are outside of the movies. Now it's like the people telling the stories don't even know how it should go, and they're just pulling things out of whatever they personally want the way the story should go.
I haven't watched ANY of this tripe and it's still the worst thing I've ever seen. Thank you for watching it for me so I don't have to.
I haven’t watched it either and I feel like I owe these reviewers, who have to suffer through this series. I almost want to tell them to “Stop, the review is not worth it!” “Don’t torture yourself like this!”
I knew Star Wars. Star Wars was a friend of mine. You, Acolyte, are no Star Wars.
I'm unsubscribing from Disney for this. I'm going to go read the Legend Novels like Crystal Star and re-watch the Original Trilogy. The Prequels were probelmatic but at least still fun & recognizable Star Wars. The Sequels were problematic but at least they had potential had Kennedy actually read a darn Star Wars Novel or at least done some research into the Universe Wookiepdiea anyone!? Seriously!? This?! THIS!? This is The End. Until Disney scraps everything to do with The Acolyte and frankly reboots Star Wars to follow the Legends Novels to the T! Starting with a beautiful 2D animated version of Truce of Bakurar, I will not be watching anything Star Wars they release! Worse even then if they do that, I will still have my doubts, and my trust in Disney for entertainment is gone!! GONE. LIKE THE DUST OF ALDERAAN!
I have been tempted myself.
Are you looking for authentic Star Wars, or do you merely want 2D animation? Be honest.
@@doge-pal no comprendo.
@@doge-pal Three authentic Rogue, New Hope and Strikes Back. That is all. Rest is just filler.
@@doge-pal At this point my friend ANYTHING BUT THE ACOLYTE!! ANYTHING ELSE!! 😭
Lolz they even pissed off there very own cult..um group of letters.
Chick Wars the Crap-o-lite
Star Wars the Woke Strikes Back.
I’m all gruelled out
"Don't be gruel to a heart that's true."
It’s all about the writing and again it stinks
Aw, another livestream segment replay? :(
Thank you for making this. My old boss would say, yoj want a bad employee to get the hint, hit him in the pocket. We got suspended and we weren't making tips.
We need to cancel Disney as a collective. Unsubscribe to anything Disney. #NOTMYSTARWARS
Excellent!! Thanks.
They got that EU tucked in their back pockets to save their asses lmfao.
They are already starting at the EU
@@JWard-sp7wt
That’s even worse. Nothing can help us.
A video with this group of people and no Tom is very refreshing.....👍
Maybe the writers, directors, and producers should get paid half up front and the rest only if it makes money
I am looking forward to season 2 of Andor. While not everyone's cup of tea, it had some great writing and acting. It will become part of my Star Wars viewing.
Episodes 1,2,3,
Andor 1 & 2
Episodes 4,5,6,
The Mandolorian 1 & 2 (maybe).
That's it. No more, especially this garbage being spewed out now.
