And the female padawan is the only one to stand her ground for a while, while other, I presume far more experienced Jedi got clowned on. I'm not ever sure if she's dead considering her race might have four stomaches and these are like extra lives when taking lightsaber hits.
How it often is with Sith. Tendency towards betrayal and in-fighting was often their downfall whenever they gained an advantage. By ensuring they were always two, one to hold power and one to try and take the power, the Sith saw greater success. Being few gave us the plans of Sidious to infiltrate and undermine the Republic to create an empire and eliminate the Jedi. Being many didn't apparently help the coven who raised Osha and Mae.
Tbf the rule of two sith were OP in Legends. Just look at what Sidious did to half the council. That being said, I'm not gonna give Disney the satisfaction cos this was clearly half baked and won't be satisfying for the rest of the season Let's wait and see...
Daily reminder that Leslye Headland got where she is by knowingly allowing evil to happen, helping it happen, then throwing the person she was helping under the bus for self gain. She knew everything that happened was happening and stood by and let it happen.
Reminder: Brick Face thought _Frozen_ was about incestuous lesbian romance. Her RL sister refuses to speak to her. _The Acolyte_ is apparently a message/love letter to that sister. _DO THE MATH!_ But wait, it gets worse. Brick Face has basically admitted to stalking Amandla Stenberg for years after her Hunger Games role (when Stenberg was 13), and made the role for her specifically. Literally showed up to her with all the concept art ready-made, all showing images/portraits of Stenberg specifically, all before Stenberg even knew this project was in the works. Rather than notice the obvious red flags, she ran with it (and God knows what else behind closed doors).
Mae leaving her unarmed, unconscious sister in the middle of a deadly forest is next level tough love. She couldn't have possibly wanted her to die, though, right?
The division of one The division of 2 Man v. Women Cut it in half to 50%. The division of many. Break us into racial, gender, sexual orientation, and anything else they can come up with so we're MANY 0.5% groups against the rest of them.
The reason why canon exists is to understand the overall story, make it consistant and reasonable. The Acolyte proves what happens when you throw that out and make stuff out of your arse just because it looks "cool"
The thing is, it would have been so easy. I wrote it as comment, too: After ~130 BBY Darth Tenebrous was sith lord, 67 BBY it was Plagues. Tenebrous master was not a human, but Twi'Lek. The Acolyte is around 130 - 135 BBY, so around the time, where Darth Tenebrous kills his master, who could be Darth Ramage. So they mess up everything again. At this time, Darth Ramage still was arround, it's not a lot known about him, so it would have been easy to make the show maybe 10 years earlier and him the Sith Master, and maybe show even Tenebrous at some point, but they obviously don't know enough about, so they fckd up. Darth Ramage was scientist and wanted to create a virus to kill jedi. The thing with killing jedi without weapons would have been fitting. Instead they have some human. They could have made a serious from Ramage to Plagues and how Anakin was created. Could had been good. But they messed everything up. Wasted potential. But that was to be expected. It's Disney 🤦♂️
Sadly, Disney Star Wars has pulled that crap since TFA, starting with Poe surviving.....somehow. It has only been getting worse since and The Acolyte proves when even stop pretending to care.
Like the armor stopping lightsabers was canon, cortosis I believe the mineral was called. It was very rare and very hard to utilize. Having one character with cortosis armor as a challenge for the Jedi could be interesting if it was in a show that cared about the lore and didn’t just pull cortosis out of wookiepedia as appeasement. Imagine a good story about the actual established Sith of the time (or a non-apprentice acolyte of some kind) with cortosis armor who refuses to use lightsabers to keep the Sith secret. Heck, even have it be a failed Jedi who got sent to the farms. You could question the Jedi teachings and methods, and explore the order’s faults. But no, gotta have the sapphic coven.
And you know what's really stupid? Mae had longer hair than Osha did. Way longer hair. Hair cut that much will be noticed. So is Qmir (or whatever his name is) not going to notice that "Mae" cut her hair? Mind you he can also read people's minds. In Episode 2, Osha pretended to be Mae and he knew either by reading her mind or by the way she was acting. I really hope they don't have him fall for this. If they do, it's going to be Obi-Wan and child Leia sneaking out of Darth Vader's ship with Stormtroopers patrolling levels of stupid. It's going to be like when cartoon characters put on a fake mouthstache levels of stupid.
Yeah the fuel doesn't matter, oxygen doesn't matter and the ignition source doesn't matter. Fire is just a really good plot device that always does what you tell it to do, damn the consequences.
As silly as it is that Mae cut her hair with a saber, would it not have been 10X more interesting to NOT show the audience that Mae did that?! Would it not have been better to instead make the audience have to think about whether this person with Sol is truly Osha while giving very subtle hints to pull the viewers in? This story would’ve been instantly elevated with this small change of moving the saber hair cut scene to whenever in the story they want “Osha” revealed as Mae. These bloody show runners avoid anything intriguing happening in the story at all costs. A competent writer would immediately recognize that this detail should be hidden from the audience until a later reveal but that actually sounds interesting & we can’t have that, now can we?! It’s like these writers are ALLERGIC to good storytelling! When they should do something OBVIOUS (for instance, showing the Wookie Jedi being a badass), they just don’t.
Especially since Smilo Ren said that he won’t reveal his face because Sol could read his mind if he could see his face, so him recognizing it’s Mae because he can see her face and thus mind would have been a decent reveal.
*Ok, so Mae wants her sister to love her again... but knocks her out, leaves her in some deadly forest with a Sith assassin, who wants them both dead, and she takes her identity!!? 😂.* This character is evil! Why are they pretending she isn't!? Lol
This is the same kind of character writing we saw in both Batwhammen and Robyn-with-a-Y. Hollywood is populated with lizard people; that's the only way I can explain this utter disconnect with both logic and morality.

Zipper face can use a dust storm to make a group of jedi fly away but can't use the same skill on a bunch of baby Mothras... ffs Do they remember what they wrote for the previous episode? 🤦
To make it worse: iirc episodes 4-5 have the same writers/directors involved, so they SHOULD know about the baby mothra problem. Hell, within the first 5 minutes those guys should be swarming the Jedi/Darth Gimp because the one was attracted to Sol's lightsaber in episode 4. Don't get me started on Darth Gimp's stupid comment about Sol reading his mind... only for Sol to not immediately recognize it's Mae in disguise due to, y'know, being able to read her mind. These writers use the Force, fire, bugs, pretty much EVERYTHING for the sake of 'advancing the plot', consistency in their own show be damned.
They don't remember what they wrote five minutes ago, what makes you think they'd remember last EPISODE, that was YEAAAARS ago relative to their attention span.
The funniest part is that discount Esra Miller must've carried that black gimp suit, helmet and light saber through the jungle and Mae didn't even notice!
Smilo Ren, has enough situational awareness to fight and dispatch multiple jedi knights and masters, but not enough to stop one unarmed person from pasting a lightbulb to his backside.
"Guy gets two swords and suddenly starts winning" being a thing in Star Wars is 100% Filoni's fault. Anakin tried to dual wield in Attack of the Clones and almost instantly lost an arm. And before his stans come out to defend him, the writer of this episode (and the last one) says that he has to approve anything that comes out of Lucasfilms, and gave feedback on the Acolyte.
@@emptyblank099a except he didn't. He didn't get Sol, Osha, and Mae doesn't have a lightsaber so thinking she killed the wookie then suddenly had a change of heart and also suddenly got betrayed would make no sense. There's no reason to think she killed the wookie, and she already believed the Jedi wouldn't imprison her if she gave them Intel. Which is retarded, but that's what she said.
@@haku8135 Use your head. The Jedi would clearly think Quimir and her working together. Which they were. Her Alibi is dead and now she knows her master is out there. Makes sense to run for her life.
was arguing with people online for the last 3 weeks and all i ever heard was "just wait they will explain it" all i said back was "disney has lost the right to be given the benefit of the doubt in manners like this due to their repeated history of not fixing errors like these." its honestly shocking to me how people can still expect disney to fix the plot holes they dig.
They don't even expect EXPLANATIONS at this point given how they are tripping over themselves to act like tonal and narrative consistency shouldn't matter in a series that takes place over THOUSANDS OF YEARS
That kind of discourse happened a lot during the Kenobi show. While the show was on, people kept saying "The show's not even over, they'll explain by the end!" Then after it ended, that changed to, "The show's over, why are you still talking about it?" Also, the Doctor Who finale shows that things most definitely are not always explained at the end, lol.
@@marychocolatefairy oh yeah i know. its been happening since episode 7 came out lol. disney digs a plot hole then the defenders come out and say "wait till its over because they will fix it" and then it ends without the hole being fixed and if it ever does get fixed its in some obscure book somewhere. like when are these people just going to ask themselves the question 'why not just avoid the plot hole all together if you intend on fixing it in a future episode?". we would not need to wait for them to fix the plot holes created with mundis cameo if they just chose any other none human old looking jedi to make a cameo instead. and we would not need them to explain mundis comments in the phantom menace if they just made the dark side user a dark jedi or dathomiri witch of some kind. they could have avoided those plot holes in their entirety with almost no impact on the story but they decided not to and now you expect me to believe they care enough about the established lore to fix these plot holes?
@@d4arken3ds0ulWhile Sith CAN heal, they usually have to absorb somebody elses lifeforce. Darth Bane was mortally wounded once and left on the battlefield and ran into the problem that he *couldn't* heal himself, because he was only surrounded by corpses and couldn't suck the life out of them.
Yeah pretty much. You can always guarantee that if a man speaks it will be used against him, regardless of whatever he says being pointless or random. Like using the blaster to save Yord, Im surprised Yord didnt just outright say "yes, alright, I know" before the incoming "Good thing I kept it"
@scotttimbrell8632 yeah like chungo fat with the basic police playbook tactic make a perimeter to stop smilo escaping yet it's dismissed simply because he's a man for the dumber just send osha in alone but even smilos motives made no sense he don't paticularly have a grudge against these 4 jedi he's just a whiney brat who going killing just so no one holds him to any accountability I swear that motive would of made more sense if smilo was a woman.

Even drake starkiller, a video game hack and slash protagonist, who could force lighting a at-st to death and clear a room with a force repel, couldn't handle multiple force or force immune opponents at once. And he had video game protagonist privileges

Why did Osha need to sacrifice her droid if we established the lightsaber is a bright enough light for the insects to swarm around? Sol deactivated his lightsaber, Discount Ezra Miller activates his to take advantage of Sol's ostensible weakness, and the bugs swarm him.
I keep picturing Disparu as the "sith lord" during this whole fight. The entire time he's ripping the entire thing to shreds as he's fighting. "Oh look, you clearly missed me, now I've cut your head off". Especially what he says about the bit with May, about how even the audience knew. Perfect 4th wall break.
I refused to watch Kenobi at all because in my mind if Vader and Obi Wan haven’t seen each other since ROTS. As not seeing someone for decades is more impactful than just ‘oh I saw you last week’
They let him go earlier when they knew he supplied the poison that killed Torbin and that he took over for the real apothecary (probably by killing him, not that they bothered investigating how he took over the shop).
That's what I was thinking! Lightsaber fights are very flashy. Meaning they emit a lot of light. How did the writers not catch this??!? The moths should have been eating them up! This would have added a cool layer to the fight. The Jedi and this guy fighting while having to fight off the moths as well. Or have them use the moths against each other
Anytime there is a scene with multiple combatants taking on a single person it almost always turns out poorly. I thought the same thing when watching the throne scene in The Last Jedi. Everyone I'm with walks out praising it meanwhile I'm thinking "did we watch the same fight?" Because there are so many swings at the air that we they about to create a category 3 hurricane.
@@facepwnagewtf Right? This wasn’t even on par with sword fight scenes in the 40s-80s where they were basically trying to hit each other’s weapons instead of each other.
Now I know why her pocket droid was never given arms or legs. It would have run, jumped, crawled, scrambled FAR FAR AWAY from her as soon as it was able.

Apparently this is Headland's favorite episode. Makes sense as it was stupider than even the flashback covet of space witches who died despite having the "power of many threads".

I think they took the same dance choreographer they did in The Last Jedi for the fight where Kyle Loren kills Snok. I don't get why they don't take real sabre martial artists to do that job. Nope, they take dance choreographers to make a lightsaber break-dance scene instead.
Master Squid Games not killing a Sith is very dumb, it’s not like it hasn’t happened in Star Wars before. Nobody dunked on Obi Wan for chopping Darth Maul in half. 🙄
No, in fact I remember it was heavily praised despite people actually LIKING Darth Maul.. No one gives a shit about these greasy edgelord. Kill him and move the fk on.
But, don't you know it's not right to take revenge on someone who's pathologically evil, has killed all your comrades, and plans on attacking you with murderous intent... unless they have a weapon in their hand.
That is the worst possible haircut technique. The ends are going to split like Lizzo's pants and she's going to smell like burnt hair for weeks (because I don't think you can actually WASH braids). For the life of me, I don't understand how a woman-led show didn't realize this...
good lord, this show is pure nonsense. how are they gonna explain how nobody realizes osha is got a facial tattoo all of a sudden? why can't they get a read from the force? how dumb are these people? how can you defend any of this crap?
They never heard of consistency and if they have its evil no wonder dave filoni can't write for shite when characters can't remember what they said 5 mins ago and it's been going since the frist episode when yord mentioned to osha about her mother's and sister being dead yet says to squid game later on I didn't know she was a twin what the hell it's on record at the jedi temple I'm sure and failoni green lit this trash f**k me.
That was way faster than just piercing her once and then flicking the saber sideways. I admit I'm surprised they would off a stunning and brave character like that.
May first tried to roast her sister like a marshmallow, then she's going to surrender because her sister is alive, then she leaves her sister knocked out in the jungle with a Sith Lord who just tried to kill her. I am supposed to believe that May cares about her sister?
The helmet and arm braces were made of Cortosis. In Legends Darth Vader also used a Cortosis Blade briefly however the material itself is extremely rare, it doesn't make sense why he's able to craft a helmet and braces
yet bashing it with a lightsaber hilt breaks it how it disrupts a weapon thats blade is 20 000 to 25 000 degrees celceius no problem but blunt physical attack breaks it come on man thats a clear ass pull.
There is a reason, not that they'll tell u. He has cortosis arm guards and helmet. It essentially absorbs blaster bolts and shorts out lightsaber blades.
@@robertharrison1058 There shouldn't even be a lightsabee fight in the first place. 7-8 Jedi Master present they would've just force hold Smilo Ren in place until hes incapacitated like how Ahoka held Darth Maul in place until the clones stunned him and lock him up 😭
@argotic8378 Aye, in Legends the Separatists were devising the C-B3 Cortosis Battle Droid line, but even that would have been a *huge* chunk out of their almost-limitless wealth and resources, merely because of how incredibly rare it is. Even in full production, the C-B3s would have been rare to see, and mostly limited to Jedi hunter-killer teams, I imagine.

Wouldn't 7-8 Jedi Masters be able to force hold Smilo Ren in place until they get handcuff or back up? There Wouldn't even be a need to draw a Saber with 7-8 Jedi Masters present Edit: Unless I'm mistaken isn't that how Ahsoka captured Darth Maul at the end of Clone Wars? Ahsoka force hold Darth Maul in the air until a clone trooper stuns him
in fiction, generally the bad guys take turns losing unless script needs a capture, then they dogpile...at least Maul retreated until by chance he separated them...id run and maybe take the fastest one alone....rinse and repeat...untill too tired, which happens fast when under real stress....in video games i never get tired
Its like they watched The Force Awakens, saw Kylo Ren stop lasers and I guess time in the opening, and then lose a force/lighstaber battle to someone who never had training, and decided to speed run it in 5 minutes.
Gotta love how this show follows the same writing style of Gotham Knights where every scene is its own continuity and nothing that happened in the previous scene matters for the next.
Aluminium foil hat prevents mind intrusion ➡Smilo Ren's helmet blocks mind reading. Therefore, Smilo Ren's helmet must be aluminium foil ➡ The helmet also shorts lightsabers. So, aluminium foil can disable a lightsaber 👍🤣
Funny that the only ones who would know what that material was and what it does are the very fans that Disney has gone out of their way to jettison from the franchise.
@@Robman0908I still have my KotORs and Jedi academy. Also, now I have guilty pleasure to watch how low SW could reach. BTW I'm really waiting for space balls 2, I think they would be more respectful to lore 😊
1998* actually. Zahn's Visions of the Future came out before Stackpole's I, Jedi novel (but I can guarantee they were discussing ideas when writing the books). They need to have an explanation for it in the next episode or something, otherwise the movie/show fans are going to be very confused/annoyed.
@@MatthewLamphier-l7w Since Disney brought it back during the Clone Wars era during Thrawn: Alliances (thank you Timothy Zahn for making some parts of Disney canon enjoyable), probably the same planet they blow the mine up on in that book. This show is 133BBY after all. Especially since that shit's out in the chaotic mess known as the Unknown Regions.
They tried to give the girl the Obi Wan treatment (being as strong/stronger than the master) but Obi was a hair away from being a knight. Also there was lore behind how powerful and wise he was. Also, being a sith apprentice is outrageously painful and hard. No way you just say “meh, not feeling it anymore”.
20:10 I think it's not the character being forgetful, but Disney thinking their average viewer will not remember a Chekhov's gun they set up earlier. Which is worse.
Cortosis is E.U. lore. Rare mineral which redirects energy and is therefore good protection against blasters, stun guns and lightsabers (actually shorting them out by creating an energy blowback along the blade). It is frangible and brittle, however, making it both hard to work into armor and vulnerable to kinetic weapons and impact. It seems they pick and choose which lore to use.
Think the bigger issue is that its not explained at all what material that helmet is made out of, nor why headbutting it would even be a good idea in the first place.
@@scotttimbrell8632 they don't know how to use lore. A cortosis helmet would make sense, but in a role as protective gear, not something to be used as an attack weapon. If you're close enough to headbutt, you're close enough to run the enemy through with a saber.
Except that Cortosis as it was originally entered into the EU was just another energy-weapon-resistant material. I think it was the book "I, Jedi" that first described it as being able to cause the feedback loop in lightsabers that shorted them out. But it's still been inconsistent since then. SW:TOR had Cortosis armour sets which don't negate damage from lightsabers so you could infer that it was back to dampening again. And it flip flops back and forth a few more times. It seems Disney has stuck with the short-out retcon, which in itself it stupid because if it were that good every military in the galaxy would be armouring and arming its forces with it. Edit: Apparently I had it the wrong way around. "I, Jedi" came out first. The "resistant" version was the retcon from KOTOR. I stand by my final comment that it should be kept as resistant.
*sigh* I thought Mae wanted to turn herself in to the Jedi and she has a circle stamp on her head to be different…plus Sith dude headbutted a lightsaber??
@@argotic8378Would've been nice if they did some setup for that, otherwise people might be confused. There are wasting so much time in these episodes, but won't provide crucial information for the plot to be more engaging for some reason.

There was a scene in a The Old Republic video where a woman catches a lightsaber in her hands and that was because she was basically using Force Lighting to prevent the saber from ACTUALLY touching her. And that was sick as hell. This? Oh boy
@@docpox3900 Yes, i believe that is actually one of it's functions, depending on the way it is used, I believe. There was also Phyrk, another Lightsaber resistant metal. But making armor out of it proofed difficult because it was way too heavy. And rare too. You won't find these kinds of Materials around the corner.
I remember one day, in a chat, in a stream in betwen heel vs baby face, nerderotic, and the guy of geek and gamers, az put a video, that have more views, more views than rebels, not the star wars tie figther make by otaku king, no a video of a kitten trying to eat a piece of meat, he was purring and was actualy trying but the meat was cold and was hard, that video have more views than a star wars show combine
Not possible? Wasnt plageous (who i believe was a pau’an?) shown in the background of episode 1? I may be wrong and he wasnt explicitly pointed out if so, just an easter egg for fans
26:01 whoa if this is 2012 or earlier, then him referring to her as "it" would have meant he's so evil that he considers her nothing but like animal. But this is 2024....
So the whole hitting the lightsaber with armor and the blade shorting out can be atrributed to cortosis. I'm probably not writing the name right but in any case. The material itself was a well known material used in legends, the magnaguards for example had their staves laced with it so it could parry lightsabers. In a pure enough quantity the material could cause a brief interruption or shortage in the lightsaber blade. That being said, cortosis was an extremely rare material, most people wouldn't be able to make a full armor of it, but this is disney we're talking about who somehow managed to make a thousand planet killing destroyers from nothing. Also another problem with cortosis was the fact that the purer the object the more brittle it became, so in the case of armor, they'd more often then not laced whatever armor with the material so that it could block but not short out the blades. In any case, yes its in the original lore, but no I don't think any of the buffoons at disney actually looked it up and might have somehow just come up with the idea of this effect just for the show, but doubtful since these people have almost no creative imagination except in believing they can write something worth a damn.
During the Clone Wars the Techno Union were mining it for Droid use, so Disney have to use it as the IG-100 and B-3 Droids had it. Lucas approved Cortosis back in 1998.
Bro I just came across your channel and I immediately loved it! You make watching your commentary so much more entertaining than any Star Wars show or movie since Episode 3!
i dont wanna defend this show: there is a rare canon metal called cortosis, it can withstand blasters and a lightsaber blow and briefly short it out. mainly mined during clone wars and imperial era, there was one shody real like sword made during old and high republic but it was shit. so that helm is made out of a time traveled alloy !
The problem with action scenes is I can’t be invested in the struggle when there are no characters to give a toss about. There is zero characterization these people are just walking plot devices. We have already established that there is heavy amounts of plot armor and contrivance with no consequences or stakes involved. Why do I care who wins or loses?
The Force Shield was only learned by Master Tobin? 27:12 Do it!!!!!! 32:58 Sol easily could have struck him with on the first swing (somehow, he missed his face) but decided to go for the backhand strike and stopped. Questionable decisions from Sol.
When smilo ren picked up the lightsaber and said "this, this is perfect" and then Mae took it from him and said "It will be, when it fits a woman". so stunning so brave. i was in tears. truly the starwars of all time!
Just look at all the reviewers... This is what it looks like when apathy starts settling in... No one is angry or trying to "battle" what they are seeing. Also that of-white actress is just being used as a prop in real life, and it is so sad that the only one that doesn't see it is herself.
Does anyone else remember when Ray Park HELPED TRAIN Ewan McGregor and Liam Neeson for Phantom Menace's fight scene? Or how Ewan again and Hayden Christianson went through HOURS of intense training and choreography to the point where almost the ENTIRETY of the Anakin/Obi-Wan Duel in Revenge of the Sith was jus those two up until they couldn't cuz it was an extreme long-range shot of the tower they were on heading towards the lavafall? Or what about the intense sword training the cast had to go through for Pirates of the Carribean, to the point where when Orlando Bloom went on to Lord of the Rings, he turned down having a body double for the fight scenes as he already had the training from Pirates of the Carribean? Does anyone else remember when in TV shows, people who were expected to fight KNEW HOW TO PISSING FIGHT? We have wrestling, where many of the Superstars have MMA backgrounds, like Malakai Black and Kyle O'Reilly! We have Super Sentai/Power Rangers or Tokasatsu in general which exposed entire generations to Martial Arts! We have Animé which has brought fantastical worlds of Martial Arts to entire generations, such as Dragonball and Naruto! It's almost as though they have no access to people who are even remotely familiar with these things, or are intentionally ignoring such people, almost as though hiring anyone like that does not fall in line with "the message"! And they've also clearly forgotten that Ki Adi Mundi was an exception to the whole marriage thing due to the low birth rate on his homeworld! Or at least they would have done, had they had a fecking fan anywhere on this whole catastrofuck, they could have pointed that out to them, they've already crowbarred him into an era BEFORE HE WAS EVEN BORN!! That'd be like spotting me in the line at the cinema for Return of the Jedi in 1983, rather than 1998, when I was nearly 14, rather than several months before I was even conceived! And can we all agree with the eternal banishment of "Mystery Boxes" into the deep dark depths that is the nightmare filled pit of despair and misery that is Room 101? I mean, it's already home to all of our worst fears and nightmares, it'd fit reet in! Jus like everything else in there! I mean, nobody would miss it! Prove me wrong!
Would have been better if the baddie had two lightsabers the whole time. It would have made it slightly more believable that he was able to handle multiple opponents, like Maul. Still, should have kept it as Sol, Jecky, and Yord--a three-on-one with a Master, a fairly new knight, and a Padawan, is a little easier to swallow (and we also don't care about all those other folks we know nothing about). I don't know why I try, though; they clearly just don't care.
Instead of watching this garbage, I am re-watching Firefly with The Drinker and Mauler. I can't tell you how much better this is. The Dialogue is masterful, the plots are amazing, the characters are like real human beings. I can not imagine why anyone would spend 1 minute of their life watching Kennedy Wars.
41:31 this is what my sister does. she actually picks out shows that have many seasons, no matter how stupid the noises coming out of her office sounds to me, just to have background noise while working. this is the world we live in. surrounded by mediocracy who vote. if there is a silent majority, they need to get noisy, or noisier.
I wonder if they’ll ever explain why it was important to defeat the Jedi without a weapon. Is it just humiliating to the Jedi? Or… is there something deeper?
Probably had his mum die from a jedi by choking her or something not involving a lightsaber. Maybe something that involves all these random lines Mae keeps saying like "A jedi doesnt draw their weapon unless they gonna kill" so maybe the jedi get to Smilos house and he watches how this jedi uses his lightsaber to intimidate his mother, then watches as the jedi kills her without the weapon and he is traumatised cus he couldnt use his powers to save her, but now he has the power and wants to use it to kill all the jedis.. ... You know, that or no, maybe im adding too much actual thought to it.
Probably not. I'm sure the writers just added those points because they thought the phrases sounded cool, but without any intention of following the ideas further.
"Fluorescent tubes just waving in the air"🤣🤣 One of the funniest responses I got from contrasting a fight you can actually see in Episode 3, to the trees and dark set used to hide all the action in Acolyte was: "All Lightsabers look better in the dark bro" mine was "So What about those bugs, what they only like flashlights?" My mind leapt to Disparu doing a mocking voice saying "Oh it's better when ya can see less, that's what makes it entertaining"
So one Sith is more powerful than eight Jedi?
I guess it turns out the power of one is greater than the power of many.
And the female padawan is the only one to stand her ground for a while, while other, I presume far more experienced Jedi got clowned on.
I'm not ever sure if she's dead considering her race might have four stomaches and these are like extra lives when taking lightsaber hits.

@@Arko777777 She has experience from fighting the same in Logan I assume .
How it often is with Sith. Tendency towards betrayal and in-fighting was often their downfall whenever they gained an advantage. By ensuring they were always two, one to hold power and one to try and take the power, the Sith saw greater success. Being few gave us the plans of Sidious to infiltrate and undermine the Republic to create an empire and eliminate the Jedi. Being many didn't apparently help the coven who raised Osha and Mae.
Tbf the rule of two sith were OP in Legends. Just look at what Sidious did to half the council.
That being said, I'm not gonna give Disney the satisfaction cos this was clearly half baked and won't be satisfying for the rest of the season

Reminder: Brick Face thought _Frozen_ was about incestuous lesbian romance. Her RL sister refuses to speak to her. _The Acolyte_ is apparently a message/love letter to that sister. _DO THE MATH!_

Literally showed up to her with all the concept art ready-made, all showing images/portraits of Stenberg specifically, all before Stenberg even knew this project was in the works. Rather than notice the obvious red flags, she ran with it (and God knows what else behind closed doors).

The reason why canon exists is to understand the overall story, make it consistant and reasonable. The Acolyte proves what happens when you throw that out and make stuff out of your arse just because it looks "cool"
The thing is, it would have been so easy. I wrote it as comment, too:
After ~130 BBY Darth Tenebrous was sith lord, 67 BBY it was Plagues. Tenebrous master was not a human, but Twi'Lek.
The Acolyte is around 130 - 135 BBY, so around the time, where Darth Tenebrous kills his master, who could be Darth Ramage.
So they mess up everything again. At this time, Darth Ramage still was arround, it's not a lot known about him, so it would have been easy to make the show maybe 10 years earlier and him the Sith Master, and maybe show even Tenebrous at some point, but they obviously don't know enough about, so they fckd up.
Darth Ramage was scientist and wanted to create a virus to kill jedi. The thing with killing jedi without weapons would have been fitting. Instead they have some human.
They could have made a serious from Ramage to Plagues and how Anakin was created. Could had been good. But they messed everything up.
Wasted potential. But that was to be expected. It's Disney 🤦♂️
Sadly, Disney Star Wars has pulled that crap since TFA, starting with Poe surviving.....somehow. It has only been getting worse since and The Acolyte proves when even stop pretending to care.
The whole point they broke canon was to make it look cool but it still looks like shit
Are you suggesting that space fire isn't canon?
Like the armor stopping lightsabers was canon, cortosis I believe the mineral was called. It was very rare and very hard to utilize. Having one character with cortosis armor as a challenge for the Jedi could be interesting if it was in a show that cared about the lore and didn’t just pull cortosis out of wookiepedia as appeasement. Imagine a good story about the actual established Sith of the time (or a non-apprentice acolyte of some kind) with cortosis armor who refuses to use lightsabers to keep the Sith secret.
Heck, even have it be a failed Jedi who got sent to the farms. You could question the Jedi teachings and methods, and explore the order’s faults. But no, gotta have the sapphic coven.
I called this, it's a weird remake of "The Parent Trap". Separated twins change their hair to switch places and fix their family.
And you know what's really stupid? Mae had longer hair than Osha did. Way longer hair. Hair cut that much will be noticed. So is Qmir (or whatever his name is) not going to notice that "Mae" cut her hair? Mind you he can also read people's minds. In Episode 2, Osha pretended to be Mae and he knew either by reading her mind or by the way she was acting. I really hope they don't have him fall for this. If they do, it's going to be Obi-Wan and child Leia sneaking out of Darth Vader's ship with Stormtroopers patrolling levels of stupid. It's going to be like when cartoon characters put on a fake mouthstache levels of stupid.
Oddly, "The Parent Trap" makes FAR more sense than this show ever will...
So, we can now officially confirm that hair is less flammable than stone in the Star Wars Universe now? That's pretty wild!
also, she has knives she could use
Less flammable than the vacuum of space.
Yeah the fuel doesn't matter, oxygen doesn't matter and the ignition source doesn't matter. Fire is just a really good plot device that always does what you tell it to do, damn the consequences.
As silly as it is that Mae cut her hair with a saber, would it not have been 10X more interesting to NOT show the audience that Mae did that?! Would it not have been better to instead make the audience have to think about whether this person with Sol is truly Osha while giving very subtle hints to pull the viewers in? This story would’ve been instantly elevated with this small change of moving the saber hair cut scene to whenever in the story they want “Osha” revealed as Mae. These bloody show runners avoid anything intriguing happening in the story at all costs. A competent writer would immediately recognize that this detail should be hidden from the audience until a later reveal but that actually sounds interesting & we can’t have that, now can we?! It’s like these writers are ALLERGIC to good storytelling! When they should do something OBVIOUS (for instance, showing the Wookie Jedi being a badass), they just don’t.
Exactly, They fucked up with what? 3 or 4 plot twists at this point, but decided that was enough, lets just show them this shitty one too.
The smell of burning hair should have given her away immediately. That doesn't come out.
Well, they couldn't show the Wookie getting killed, cos it would have revealed the not-sith, that nobody could figure out, before his big reveal 😄👏🏻
Yeah, but...swirly thing still on forehead???
Especially since Smilo Ren said that he won’t reveal his face because Sol could read his mind if he could see his face, so him recognizing it’s Mae because he can see her face and thus mind would have been a decent reveal.
*Ok, so Mae wants her sister to love her again... but knocks her out, leaves her in some deadly forest with a Sith assassin, who wants them both dead, and she takes her identity!!? 😂.* This character is evil! Why are they pretending she isn't!? Lol
This is what people believe Twin's just normally do ....

🤦
What if he ran into Gamera?
In this show, they don’t remember what they wrote in the previous scene. 😂
To make it worse: iirc episodes 4-5 have the same writers/directors involved, so they SHOULD know about the baby mothra problem. Hell, within the first 5 minutes those guys should be swarming the Jedi/Darth Gimp because the one was attracted to Sol's lightsaber in episode 4.
Don't get me started on Darth Gimp's stupid comment about Sol reading his mind... only for Sol to not immediately recognize it's Mae in disguise due to, y'know, being able to read her mind.
These writers use the Force, fire, bugs, pretty much EVERYTHING for the sake of 'advancing the plot', consistency in their own show be damned.
Cooldown is too high
They don't remember what they wrote five minutes ago, what makes you think they'd remember last EPISODE, that was YEAAAARS ago relative to their attention span.
The funniest part is that discount Esra Miller must've carried that black gimp suit, helmet and light saber through the jungle and Mae didn't even notice!
🤣😅😂
Or had it hidden somewhere, like a discount spider man.

the show writers probably used video game logic. You can put a ladder, 50ft spool of rope, sniper rifle, and minigun in your back pocket.
"You can't chop his head off while he's unarmed. So I'll paste this flashlight on his back and let him be carried off and eaten by giant bugs."
Smilo Ren, has enough situational awareness to fight and dispatch multiple jedi knights and masters, but not enough to stop one unarmed person from pasting a lightbulb to his backside.
"Guy gets two swords and suddenly starts winning" being a thing in Star Wars is 100% Filoni's fault. Anakin tried to dual wield in Attack of the Clones and almost instantly lost an arm. And before his stans come out to defend him, the writer of this episode (and the last one) says that he has to approve anything that comes out of Lucasfilms, and gave feedback on the Acolyte.
Happend to the Jedi Master in the first SWTOR Trailer too. Using two sabers when you only fought with one before seems like a bad idea.

He didn't get Sol, Osha, and Mae doesn't have a lightsaber so thinking she killed the wookie then suddenly had a change of heart and also suddenly got betrayed would make no sense.

was arguing with people online for the last 3 weeks and all i ever heard was "just wait they will explain it" all i said back was "disney has lost the right to be given the benefit of the doubt in manners like this due to their repeated history of not fixing errors like these." its honestly shocking to me how people can still expect disney to fix the plot holes they dig.
They don't even expect EXPLANATIONS at this point given how they are tripping over themselves to act like tonal and narrative consistency shouldn't matter in a series that takes place over THOUSANDS OF YEARS
That kind of discourse happened a lot during the Kenobi show. While the show was on, people kept saying "The show's not even over, they'll explain by the end!" Then after it ended, that changed to, "The show's over, why are you still talking about it?" Also, the Doctor Who finale shows that things most definitely are not always explained at the end, lol.
@@marychocolatefairy oh yeah i know. its been happening since episode 7 came out lol. disney digs a plot hole then the defenders come out and say "wait till its over because they will fix it" and then it ends without the hole being fixed and if it ever does get fixed its in some obscure book somewhere. like when are these people just going to ask themselves the question 'why not just avoid the plot hole all together if you intend on fixing it in a future episode?".
we would not need to wait for them to fix the plot holes created with mundis cameo if they just chose any other none human old looking jedi to make a cameo instead. and we would not need them to explain mundis comments in the phantom menace if they just made the dark side user a dark jedi or dathomiri witch of some kind. they could have avoided those plot holes in their entirety with almost no impact on the story but they decided not to and now you expect me to believe they care enough about the established lore to fix these plot holes?

I did not think that Star Wars could get any worse than the Kenobi series. I am genuinely shocked just how utterly terrible this series is.
I refused to watch Kenobi at all because in my mind if Vader and Obi Wan haven’t seen each other since ROTS. As not seeing someone for decades is more impactful than just ‘oh I saw you last week’

Its a good thing that the forest fight is so dark. Means we can't see how terrible they choreograph the sword duel. Hope shadiversity gets to break it down.
For anyone that wants to realize how insane fighting eight people with a sword versus one would be just ask Chad because they probability of someone winning at odds that small are stupid to the point of absurdity.
Real life sure. But in fiction if the Gap in strenght is big enough characters can solo entire armies😂. It just depends on the context in the story. The Padawan doing the BEST against him outside of Sol is absolute BS though💀
@@no.1spidey-fan182 which raises a huge question how someone this strong in the force was completely neglected by every single Jedi in the entire organization and it wasn’t mentioned in the clone wars…
@@ASoberBear That is a GREAT question. This series really is a mess💀. At this point I'm sticking to Cal Kestis stories when it comes to star wars and I've been hearing great things about the original canon so I might even check that out🤔. As of right now though...Yh I'm DONE with Disney Star Wars unless its makes a COMPLETE 180😭
Wouldn't 7-8 Jedi Masters be able to force hold Smilo Ren in place until they get handcuff or back up? There Wouldn't even be a need to draw a Saber with 7-8 Jedi Masters present
Edit: Unless I'm mistaken isn't that how Ahsoka captured Darth Maul at the end of Clone Wars? Ahsoka force hold Darth Maul in the air until a clone trooper stuns him
in fiction, generally the bad guys take turns losing unless script needs a capture, then they dogpile...at least Maul retreated until by chance he separated them...id run and maybe take the fastest one alone....rinse and repeat...untill too tired, which happens fast when under real stress....in video games i never get tired
I'm so glad the face slice off made it in this video lmfao
Its like they watched The Force Awakens, saw Kylo Ren stop lasers and I guess time in the opening, and then lose a force/lighstaber battle to someone who never had training, and decided to speed run it in 5 minutes.
Remember that Palpatine struggled against four Jedi?
Black girl magic!!!! LMFAO
Let the Star Wars die. Kill it if you have to
- Jizzney, probably
So who wanna bet the master of Smilo Ren is Lesly Headland's wife, Shrek?
I bet the insect attacking the enemy bit was taken from the Hunger Games when Rue (also portrayed by Amandla) suggested the idea to the protagonist.
Use the force Katniss!!!!!
I'm thinking Smash Bros. They knocked him off screen, so the Jedi must have won.
Gotta love how this show follows the same writing style of Gotham Knights where every scene is its own continuity and nothing that happened in the previous scene matters for the next.
I hate Disney.
ME2!!!! Now more than EVER!!!! When I think about the $ I and my family spent over the years……
They *fridged* the Wookie, and need to be called out about that as much as possible.
Aluminium foil hat prevents mind intrusion ➡Smilo Ren's helmet blocks mind reading.
Therefore, Smilo Ren's helmet must be aluminium foil ➡ The helmet also shorts lightsabers.
So, aluminium foil can disable a lightsaber 👍🤣
This material is called Cortosis, it was in Expanded Universe from 1999 and Disney have canonised it back around 2016
Funny that the only ones who would know what that material was and what it does are the very fans that Disney has gone out of their way to jettison from the franchise.
@@Robman0908I still have my KotORs and Jedi academy. Also, now I have guilty pleasure to watch how low SW could reach.
BTW I'm really waiting for space balls 2, I think they would be more respectful to lore 😊
Which causes problems for Disney because where was this before this series since it's never been mentioned again
1998* actually. Zahn's Visions of the Future came out before Stackpole's I, Jedi novel (but I can guarantee they were discussing ideas when writing the books).
They need to have an explanation for it in the next episode or something, otherwise the movie/show fans are going to be very confused/annoyed.
@@MatthewLamphier-l7w Since Disney brought it back during the Clone Wars era during Thrawn: Alliances (thank you Timothy Zahn for making some parts of Disney canon enjoyable), probably the same planet they blow the mine up on in that book. This show is 133BBY after all. Especially since that shit's out in the chaotic mess known as the Unknown Regions.
Im actually shocked that discount kylo... zipper mouth.... is not a legoheadland self insert.
Talking about Darth Gimp?
smilo likes young actresses...headlamp likes young actresses....
Look at him. Hes all jacked and sweaty. Shes obviously thirsting all over him behind the camera
The sweet, sweet irony of this show is the only lore accruate thing in it is the cortosis in Smilo Ren's armor. It's fucking wild.
They tried to give the girl the Obi Wan treatment (being as strong/stronger than the master) but Obi was a hair away from being a knight. Also there was lore behind how powerful and wise he was. Also, being a sith apprentice is outrageously painful and hard. No way you just say “meh, not feeling it anymore”.
Jecki got Boromir'ed
"One does not simply walk into a lightsaber."

At least the Sith wasn't Halbrand.
AI had to be used to write this script.
20:10
I think it's not the character being forgetful, but Disney thinking their average viewer will not remember a Chekhov's gun they set up earlier. Which is worse.
I got an ad for this show on the video 😭 Disney, _horrible_ ad placement, well done
Cortosis is E.U. lore.
Rare mineral which redirects energy and is therefore good protection against blasters, stun guns and lightsabers (actually shorting them out by creating an energy blowback along the blade).
It is frangible and brittle, however, making it both hard to work into armor and vulnerable to kinetic weapons and impact.
It seems they pick and choose which lore to use.
Think the bigger issue is that its not explained at all what material that helmet is made out of, nor why headbutting it would even be a good idea in the first place.
I looked that up and it's kinda Cool but SO broken
@@scotttimbrell8632 they don't know how to use lore.
A cortosis helmet would make sense, but in a role as protective gear, not something to be used as an attack weapon. If you're close enough to headbutt, you're close enough to run the enemy through with a saber.
Except that Cortosis as it was originally entered into the EU was just another energy-weapon-resistant material. I think it was the book "I, Jedi" that first described it as being able to cause the feedback loop in lightsabers that shorted them out. But it's still been inconsistent since then. SW:TOR had Cortosis armour sets which don't negate damage from lightsabers so you could infer that it was back to dampening again. And it flip flops back and forth a few more times. It seems Disney has stuck with the short-out retcon, which in itself it stupid because if it were that good every military in the galaxy would be armouring and arming its forces with it.
Edit: Apparently I had it the wrong way around. "I, Jedi" came out first. The "resistant" version was the retcon from KOTOR. I stand by my final comment that it should be kept as resistant.
Too bad the mouse de-canonized the EU.
*sigh* I thought Mae wanted to turn herself in to the Jedi and she has a circle stamp on her head to be different…plus Sith dude headbutted a lightsaber??
Armor made from Cortosis in Legends Darth Vader used a cortosis blade briefly.
@@argotic8378Would've been nice if they did some setup for that, otherwise people might be confused. There are wasting so much time in these episodes, but won't provide crucial information for the plot to be more engaging for some reason.
@@argotic8378 but he blocked a light saber with his bare arm and no armor
@@radrobd123 I thought that as well, but in a later scene you can see he has a mini shield on his forearm. Lame I know but it’s there
Even Mel Brooks could not come up with the idea of giving head to lightsabers to make them lose power. Not even Mel Brooks.
How could 8 Jedi not force hold one pathetic sith down and F him up. So dumb the force is stupid
The number of sith who can fight 8 jedi and survive could be named off of one hand and the fact that they literally jsut dropped this grease ball out of nowhere is so stupid
@@MatthewLamphier-l7w Even Palpatine was taxed beyond his ability against three (?), and he got the first shot off.
When their lightsabers cut off, they just look down dumbly like well that's that.
it's possibly a fucking sith not just some random guy, and he's pretty powerful so that probably wouldn't work
There was a scene in a The Old Republic video where a woman catches a lightsaber in her hands and that was because she was basically using Force Lighting to prevent the saber from ACTUALLY touching her. And that was sick as hell. This?
Oh boy
Apparantly the helmet is made out of Cortosis. Lightsaber resistant but rare and brittle.
@@johannesseyfried7933 Ah.... but well.... has cortosis ever short circuited lightsabers before?
@@docpox3900 Yes, i believe that is actually one of it's functions, depending on the way it is used, I believe.
There was also Phyrk, another Lightsaber resistant metal. But making armor out of it proofed difficult because it was way too heavy. And rare too.
You won't find these kinds of Materials around the corner.
Even bad daytime soap opera tries to follow a plot and make sense better.
a parrot trying to eat a berry would be infinitely more exciting than this garbage
I remember one day, in a chat, in a stream in betwen heel vs baby face, nerderotic, and the guy of geek and gamers, az put a video, that have more views, more views than rebels, not the star wars tie figther make by otaku king, no a video of a kitten trying to eat a piece of meat, he was purring and was actualy trying but the meat was cold and was hard, that video have more views than a star wars show combine
I’m dying on this hill: Discount Ezra Miller will be revealed to be a young Darth Plagieas in the last episode.
Not possible? Wasnt plageous (who i believe was a pau’an?) shown in the background of episode 1? I may be wrong and he wasnt explicitly pointed out if so, just an easter egg for fans
@@d4arken3ds0ul You really think these idiots care about that? Canon has already been trashed.
Nah, he's a man; he has to be subordinate to some woman.
26:01 whoa if this is 2012 or earlier, then him referring to her as "it" would have meant he's so evil that he considers her nothing but like animal. But this is 2024....
So the whole hitting the lightsaber with armor and the blade shorting out can be atrributed to cortosis. I'm probably not writing the name right but in any case. The material itself was a well known material used in legends, the magnaguards for example had their staves laced with it so it could parry lightsabers. In a pure enough quantity the material could cause a brief interruption or shortage in the lightsaber blade.
That being said, cortosis was an extremely rare material, most people wouldn't be able to make a full armor of it, but this is disney we're talking about who somehow managed to make a thousand planet killing destroyers from nothing. Also another problem with cortosis was the fact that the purer the object the more brittle it became, so in the case of armor, they'd more often then not laced whatever armor with the material so that it could block but not short out the blades.
In any case, yes its in the original lore, but no I don't think any of the buffoons at disney actually looked it up and might have somehow just come up with the idea of this effect just for the show, but doubtful since these people have almost no creative imagination except in believing they can write something worth a damn.
During the Clone Wars the Techno Union were mining it for Droid use, so Disney have to use it as the IG-100 and B-3 Droids had it. Lucas approved Cortosis back in 1998.
Bro I just came across your channel and I immediately loved it! You make watching your commentary so much more entertaining than any Star Wars show or movie since Episode 3!
"That guy is really lucky, he'll survive that" 💀 4:40
i dont wanna defend this show: there is a rare canon metal called cortosis, it can withstand blasters and a lightsaber blow and briefly short it out. mainly mined during clone wars and imperial era, there was one shody real like sword made during old and high republic but it was shit. so that helm is made out of a time traveled alloy !
Now, to be fair... I also get quite frightened when I come across another man in the woods 😅. Im all like, "bro! What are you doing here?" Lol
The problem with action scenes is I can’t be invested in the struggle when there are no characters to give a toss about. There is zero characterization these people are just walking plot devices. We have already established that there is heavy amounts of plot armor and contrivance with no consequences or stakes involved. Why do I care who wins or loses?
“Because you’ll live alone with cats and SSRIs” had me laughing very hard
The Force Shield was only learned by Master Tobin?
27:12 Do it!!!!!!
32:58 Sol easily could have struck him with on the first swing (somehow, he missed his face) but decided to go for the backhand strike and stopped. Questionable decisions from Sol.
When smilo ren picked up the lightsaber and said "this, this is perfect" and then Mae took it from him and said "It will be, when it fits a woman". so stunning so brave. i was in tears. truly the starwars of all time!
Just look at all the reviewers... This is what it looks like when apathy starts settling in... No one is angry or trying to "battle" what they are seeing. Also that of-white actress is just being used as a prop in real life, and it is so sad that the only one that doesn't see it is herself.
Its fun now watching the parody
It's like that line from As Good As It Gets. "First I think of Star Wars and then I take away reason and accountability. "
Does anyone else remember when Ray Park HELPED TRAIN Ewan McGregor and Liam Neeson for Phantom Menace's fight scene? Or how Ewan again and Hayden Christianson went through HOURS of intense training and choreography to the point where almost the ENTIRETY of the Anakin/Obi-Wan Duel in Revenge of the Sith was jus those two up until they couldn't cuz it was an extreme long-range shot of the tower they were on heading towards the lavafall? Or what about the intense sword training the cast had to go through for Pirates of the Carribean, to the point where when Orlando Bloom went on to Lord of the Rings, he turned down having a body double for the fight scenes as he already had the training from Pirates of the Carribean? Does anyone else remember when in TV shows, people who were expected to fight KNEW HOW TO PISSING FIGHT? We have wrestling, where many of the Superstars have MMA backgrounds, like Malakai Black and Kyle O'Reilly! We have Super Sentai/Power Rangers or Tokasatsu in general which exposed entire generations to Martial Arts! We have Animé which has brought fantastical worlds of Martial Arts to entire generations, such as Dragonball and Naruto! It's almost as though they have no access to people who are even remotely familiar with these things, or are intentionally ignoring such people, almost as though hiring anyone like that does not fall in line with "the message"!
And they've also clearly forgotten that Ki Adi Mundi was an exception to the whole marriage thing due to the low birth rate on his homeworld! Or at least they would have done, had they had a fecking fan anywhere on this whole catastrofuck, they could have pointed that out to them, they've already crowbarred him into an era BEFORE HE WAS EVEN BORN!! That'd be like spotting me in the line at the cinema for Return of the Jedi in 1983, rather than 1998, when I was nearly 14, rather than several months before I was even conceived!
And can we all agree with the eternal banishment of "Mystery Boxes" into the deep dark depths that is the nightmare filled pit of despair and misery that is Room 101? I mean, it's already home to all of our worst fears and nightmares, it'd fit reet in! Jus like everything else in there! I mean, nobody would miss it! Prove me wrong!
😂 love these videos better than the show by a mile
Same here
Would have been better if the baddie had two lightsabers the whole time. It would have made it slightly more believable that he was able to handle multiple opponents, like Maul. Still, should have kept it as Sol, Jecky, and Yord--a three-on-one with a Master, a fairly new knight, and a Padawan, is a little easier to swallow (and we also don't care about all those other folks we know nothing about). I don't know why I try, though; they clearly just don't care.
Instead of watching this garbage, I am re-watching Firefly with The Drinker and Mauler. I can't tell you how much better this is. The Dialogue is masterful, the plots are amazing, the characters are like real human beings.
I can not imagine why anyone would spend 1 minute of their life watching Kennedy Wars.
41:31 this is what my sister does.
she actually picks out shows that have many seasons, no matter how stupid the noises coming out of her office sounds to me, just to have background noise while working.
this is the world we live in. surrounded by mediocracy who vote.
if there is a silent majority, they need to get noisy, or noisier.
The changes in motivations on the fly of what characters want to kill or do is wild.
I wonder if they’ll ever explain why it was important to defeat the Jedi without a weapon. Is it just humiliating to the Jedi? Or… is there something deeper?
Probably had his mum die from a jedi by choking her or something not involving a lightsaber.
Maybe something that involves all these random lines Mae keeps saying like "A jedi doesnt draw their weapon unless they gonna kill" so maybe the jedi get to Smilos house and he watches how this jedi uses his lightsaber to intimidate his mother, then watches as the jedi kills her without the weapon and he is traumatised cus he couldnt use his powers to save her, but now he has the power and wants to use it to kill all the jedis..
... You know, that or no, maybe im adding too much actual thought to it.
Probably not. I'm sure the writers just added those points because they thought the phrases sounded cool, but without any intention of following the ideas further.
"Fluorescent tubes just waving in the air"🤣🤣
One of the funniest responses I got from contrasting a fight you can actually see in Episode 3, to the trees and dark set used to hide all the action in Acolyte was: "All Lightsabers look better in the dark bro" mine was "So What about those bugs, what they only like flashlights?"
My mind leapt to Disparu doing a mocking voice saying "Oh it's better when ya can see less, that's what makes it entertaining"
