Yeah, when you consider that Godzilla Minus One had a budget of ten to fifteen million dollars, and The Acolyte has roughly twenty times that, it makes you wonder how many people actually gave a flip about this series next to how many were most likely drunk while making this series, or if Disney was using AI to write this series, which just makes the whole thing even dumber because they likely wouldn’t need a budget for that.

@@PrimeCypher dumb indeed. Beat a jedi with the force but I will not teach you any special force skills that could allow you to do that. I haven't seen any yellow eyes or anything like that to indicate the dark side.
It seems like a theme of this will be the victim-perpetrator paradox to suggest that someone isn’t accountable for previous crimes. I wonder how much of that is inspired by Les Headland’s previous job…?
You’re right. It seems like this whole story is an allegory for her time working under a creep, paired with her toxic relationship with her sister because of her affiliation with said creep. Headland said in promos that she drew from her personal experiences and her messed up sibling rivalry. I think she should get extensive psychotherapy, work out her issues, before attempting to write another script.
Tell you right now, that dude is not her master. They will pull a "Taskmaster" and one of her mothers is going to end up being Mae's master. Then the Jedi will fail, and Mae and Osha will defeat her. Mae will become a Jedi to make amends, and Osha may die.
I really think that this sith should be darth Tenebrous and his master cause his master was killed by him in 167 bby and the acolyte takes place in 132 bby so he would have took pluguis as his apprentice around 167 bby so if they are not trying to kill cannon it would have to be darth Tenebrous and his master a Twi'lek to which we have no name..
@@ChrisPierce-y1r it's the witch mother probs she's credited in 6 episodes (or a fat launder) the crazy one that's posting raps calling us all sorts lol
Headland’s Jedi are dumb because that’s how her twisted mind interprets the Light Side. She’s inherently an evil person so everything she does is tainted by it. Her Jedi are bastardized.
Star wars has always suffered from god awful writing, its amazing that it has to actually beat you over the head with it for yall to realize... the original trilogy has terrible writing as well... hell, yoda only exists vecause george lucas fucked up by killing off obi wan kenobi in the first film...
Their incompetence and ineptitude has been on display throughout. The show is so bad. Disney has so much material they could simply adapt but the insist on being dumbasses and doing it the dumbest way imaginable. I know Kathleen Kennedy is an idiot who thinks there's no source material, but does Iger know that when they bought Lucasfilm/Star War that they have a ton of source material they simply could be adapting?
So many people are happy this show is pissing people off. Imagine being happy that a television show is purposely manipulating you and bragging about it. We truly do live in the dumbest timeline. It used to be conspiracy theorists pointing this out, and everyone called them crazy. Now the showrunners are openly and proudly admitting they're trying to piss you off, and when people point it out, they still call them crazy and praise the showrunners for doing it. Wild. Just wild.
Did you...did you just learn? Yes this is how politics/corruption works. You start a conspiracy. You call as many people that figure you out, as crazy loons. And as soon as you have enough people wrapped up in your conspiracy, you force the populace to comply.
It's almost like the 'conspiracy theorists' were actually correct and didn't deserve the castigation and assumptions of bigotry by credulous buffons like yourself, eh. Perhaps those people are just happy that the name calling loyalist jackasses are finally seeing with clearer eyes....
It’s ironic how green headed lady is upset that she believes Sol kept the information from her, yet she refuses to let the high council know about what’s going on, like wtf is this story😂
That actually doesn't make a ton of sense either. How does Yoda even know that, when Bane's rule of two came in when he staged the fall of the sith empire and hid from the jedi that anybody survived? Plus, if you know about the rule of two at all, basically the second thing you learn is that almost all sith cheat to gain the upper hand in the paradigm of the master and the apprentice trying to kill each other to determine who's fittest - either the apprentice recruits an apprentice of their own to double-team the master, the master prepares a backup spare apprentice, or both. I guess janky writing isn't a new issue in this IP.
@@xcfjdyrkdtulkgfilhu Yeah...no. There's always 2, just one dies before the next steps in, and that doesn't mean that there can't be more than one master/apprentice Sith pair at the same time. Stop taking your own delusions as "fact", and respect the REAL fact that a canonical quote from a previous Star Wars film destroys your BS.
@xcfjdyrkdtulkgfilhu there are always two. The other one almost always has one under him. So there is always three but only two are known by the master
@xcfjdyrkdtulkgfilhu you're over thinking it friend. There has been additional addendums to the rules to allow for more Darksiders to exist but the rule of two references the sith lords. These are the elites of the Darkside who are immensely powerful and most importantly know the sith grand plan. The rule of two is included in the sith code which is an actual transcribed code in the form of sith holocrons so its able to survive throughout the years so its not impossible for the jedi to gain knowledge of the code through those means. Now while the sith have been known to cheat that didn't became so badly abused until the time of palpatine allowing the Jedi to fall into a false sense of security not really focused on the reality of the rule being bent. From the sith perspective the rule of two was upheld as long as the student does not have an indisposable assassin. Think darth maul who has been told to be palpatine's assassin while palpatine's master still lived and the only reason why it was not considered a betrayal by plaguius was because they considered maul disposable and ignorant of their larger plans. In contrast this is why in the clone wars show doouku was ordered to get rid of his apprentice because palpatine feared she has lived too long, grown to powerful and would know more than she should. Yeah its still bending the rules and i can see where you are coming from but palpatine and plaguius were politicians and skirting the line was always a political tool

We have reached the peak of multiple nicknames and puns on record...and there's plenty of room to go further. The Sky-walker was not the limit, apparently.
A sith 1v8ing jedi with a force push? Uh huh... if they were off guard maybe but they saw him approach and were ready. The force isn't a one-sided magic system, you can always push back
You just don't realize the writers are dark side, all the way; therefore, they've made it better, stronger, more powerful....cuz reasons. Also, "Canon & lore are just suggestions," so please stop using them to defend your Sith-ism, sexism, racism, misandry, misogyny, etc.

Show: We're giving the single animal a they/them pronoun to show how woke we are Normal thinking person called Alteori: Why are they referring to a single animal in the plural? Is there more than one on the ship? Is it a male only species? Why are they doing this, it makes no sense. Thank you for demonstrating why this they/them stuff is so stupid.
Fr, even though Star Wars has self aware aliens people would probably still use "it" unless they are familiar with the species being one of the intelligent ones. This otter thing just seems like a regular creature so it's like they think you can "misgender" an animal. Not to mention it's a stupid concept when used on humans as well.

My friends and I have been calling him that. It's a really poor suit/ costume. Head looks incorrect for the body. Prequel wookies looked amazing, and then of course there is good ol' Chewie. Budget was really wasted on this show.
Starkiller from the "forced unleased" series was a far better written character and he was in a video game series. Just sad Disney has fallen so far. Great video as usual thank you.
I'm gonna assume they are gonna use the bugs on the trees to make an escape or some shit like that. You know the obvious foreshadowing, if they are smart enough to use it, lol.
Master Ki'Adi Mundi wasn't even Born at this time, so I heard. So it doesn't make sense for him to be here. He's introduced at least 40 years later, AND in the Phantom Menace he says "The Sith have been gone for over a Thousand Years." Paraphrasing, but still.
It’s really hilarious that the show keeps reminding the viewers that she needs to kill the Jedi without a weapon especially after using throwing knives to kill Trinity. Also there’s absolutely no subtlety in this show whatsoever
Honestly one of the most ridiculous things I've noticed is just how emotional the Jedi are. Obviously a Jedi isn't supposed to be completely emotionless, but in the _real_ Star Wars they were always more contained and controlled. We have completely left behind the original concept of the Jedi being these sort of Zen masters.
The video had already earned a like from me but the whiplash comment cemented it. As for smart characters, writers don't necessarily have to be as smart as the characters they are writing, but they at least have to not be stupid because stupid shines through and ruins suspension of disbelief.
That's what I was telling someone and they told me to shut off my brain 😂😂😂😂 like suspension of disbelief works when you can trick the brain into believing it and it will shut off on its own.
Definitely one of the better reviews of the series I’ve come across. It’s refreshing to see the perspective of someone who’s not necessarily a fan of the franchise and has no expectations
Ki Adi mundi wasn't even born yet so he shouldn't have been there.. these people know nothing about StarWars. He was born 93bby. That's what it says on the back of his action figure I have
I had this playing in the background, and hearing that osha-yord anime roleplay definitely snapped me out of what I was doing 🤣 like "I can s that d tho daddy" - whatdidshesayyyy?
Having almost zero cool action setpieces with a budget like that is a joke. Are you telling me Super Sentai/Power Rangers can do a scene where 100 rangers fights 100 monsters on a quarry with lots of explosions and cool choreographies but Disney can't do a few Jedi fight in a forest with 10 times that budget? Man...
The only thing good about The Acolyte is seeing all the Jedi again, and that's about it. I was really young when Star Wars: The Clone Wars came out, and that was honestly my first introduction to Star Wars. My dad had me watch it, and I was hooked. I loved it, and Anakin Skywalker was my favorite character. Like I said, I was a kid when I started watching Clone Wars, so after Clone Wars, my dad had me watch the original trilogy. I was really confused. I didn't know when Anakin had a son, and I was super shocked when I found out Anakin became a bad guy. My little heart was sad because of it. After the original trilogy, I watched the prequels. Looking back, yeah, the prequels are bad, but as a kid, I liked them because, like I said, I grew up with Clone Wars as my first introduction to Star Wars. Seeing Anakin and Obi-Wan together in live-action was awesome to me. With all that being said, what I loved about Clone Wars was seeing all the Jedi, the Jedi Temple, the Jedi Council, and the Jedi missions. So, when going into The Acolyte, I do like that we are seeing more Jedi. That's the only positive I will give it. Edit: And what I mean is that it's nice seeing the Jedi temple and multiple Jedi's together in the original trilogy. Luke was the only Jedi, and in the sequels, Rey was the only Jedi, so it's nice seeing a show with multiple Jedis. This show still dogshit though.
I think GreenPee is the Sith master. Also, we could've finally seen where the mega budget for this pile of crap went with an awesome Wooki lightsaber fight. Instead, what we got was just more 💩. Even if they didnt want to reveal Smilo-Ren they could've shown the Wooki jedi ignite his lightsaber and engage his opponent. Also, couldn't a group of JEDI MASTERS SENSE WHERE THEIR JEDI MASTER BROTHER WAS ON AN ENTIRE PLANET? Nope. They basically need a bloodhound sniffing a Wooki's year old jock strap to find him.
watching this show reminds me of time when i was in highschool and try to write a short story, and was so proud, and showed it to my friends who reads lots of books, and they all said how childish my writing was. lol they were kind enough to point out the flaws my writing, and this show reviews remind me of their points lol.
The writing is just objectively awful. The writers didn't know if she left the Jedi on her own or if the council dropped her, so they just decided to tell the viewers that it happened both ways and let them decide for themselves.
I mean, "you can't fire me, I quit first!" is hardly an unheard of dynamic. Kind of makes the protagonist look like a brat, but it's not even in the top ten biggest issues with the writing.
9:46 That's modern Disney for ya. Been chugging along this track for 15 years. They want us to feel sorry for the bad guy. It doesn't work this way at all. They still believe it can, and so they go all in. Every. Single. Time.

It seems like a theme of this will be the victim-perpetrator paradox to suggest that someone isn’t accountable for previous crimes.
I wonder how much of that is inspired by Les Headland’s previous job…?
You’re right. It seems like this whole story is an allegory for her time working under a creep, paired with her toxic relationship with her sister because of her affiliation with said creep. Headland said in promos that she drew from her personal experiences and her messed up sibling rivalry. I think she should get extensive psychotherapy, work out her issues, before attempting to write another script.
Tell you right now, that dude is not her master. They will pull a "Taskmaster" and one of her mothers is going to end up being Mae's master. Then the Jedi will fail, and Mae and Osha will defeat her. Mae will become a Jedi to make amends, and Osha may die.
I really think that this sith should be darth Tenebrous and his master cause his master was killed by him in 167 bby and the acolyte takes place in 132 bby so he would have took pluguis as his apprentice around 167 bby so if they are not trying to kill cannon it would have to be darth Tenebrous and his master a Twi'lek to which we have no name..

Headland’s Jedi are dumb because that’s how her twisted mind interprets the Light Side. She’s inherently an evil person so everything she does is tainted by it. Her Jedi are bastardized.
Was she the one talking about how there is no light and dark/ good and evil in Star Wars and that everyone is the good guy in their point of view?
The jedi were dumb in the prequels also.
Star wars has always suffered from god awful writing, its amazing that it has to actually beat you over the head with it for yall to realize... the original trilogy has terrible writing as well... hell, yoda only exists vecause george lucas fucked up by killing off obi wan kenobi in the first film...
@@starkiller1289 she has said that she identifies as Sith or with the Sith. She just doesn't get the essence of star wars.
How can she identify with star wars movie. When first she saw films or read 📚 any novels. This is her own twisted words and characters

Ki Adi Mundi should not be here lol. His very presence in this show breaks established lore. They broke canon again 😂
And changed his Bio in real time on wookipidia
Their incompetence and ineptitude has been on display throughout. The show is so bad. Disney has so much material they could simply adapt but the insist on being dumbasses and doing it the dumbest way imaginable. I know Kathleen Kennedy is an idiot who thinks there's no source material, but does Iger know that when they bought Lucasfilm/Star War that they have a ton of source material they simply could be adapting?

It's almost as if the show written and directed by people who had no idea wtf they were doing
So many people are happy this show is pissing people off. Imagine being happy that a television show is purposely manipulating you and bragging about it. We truly do live in the dumbest timeline. It used to be conspiracy theorists pointing this out, and everyone called them crazy. Now the showrunners are openly and proudly admitting they're trying to piss you off, and when people point it out, they still call them crazy and praise the showrunners for doing it. Wild. Just wild.

Yes this is how politics/corruption works. You start a conspiracy. You call as many people that figure you out, as crazy loons. And as soon as you have enough people wrapped up in your conspiracy, you force the populace to comply.

"The only lips you need to open are the ones between your legs." - Alteori, 2024
Brilliant quote. *Shia Labeouf clapping meme*
"Always two, there are. No more, no less. A master, and an apprentice." ~ Yoda
That actually doesn't make a ton of sense either. How does Yoda even know that, when Bane's rule of two came in when he staged the fall of the sith empire and hid from the jedi that anybody survived?
Plus, if you know about the rule of two at all, basically the second thing you learn is that almost all sith cheat to gain the upper hand in the paradigm of the master and the apprentice trying to kill each other to determine who's fittest - either the apprentice recruits an apprentice of their own to double-team the master, the master prepares a backup spare apprentice, or both.
I guess janky writing isn't a new issue in this IP.
@@xcfjdyrkdtulkgfilhu Yeah...no. There's always 2, just one dies before the next steps in, and that doesn't mean that there can't be more than one master/apprentice Sith pair at the same time. Stop taking your own delusions as "fact", and respect the REAL fact that a canonical quote from a previous Star Wars film destroys your BS.
@xcfjdyrkdtulkgfilhu there are always two. The other one almost always has one under him.
So there is always three but only two are known by the master
@@zachowon Go seek mental help, because that didn't make any sense.
@xcfjdyrkdtulkgfilhu you're over thinking it friend. There has been additional addendums to the rules to allow for more Darksiders to exist but the rule of two references the sith lords. These are the elites of the Darkside who are immensely powerful and most importantly know the sith grand plan. The rule of two is included in the sith code which is an actual transcribed code in the form of sith holocrons so its able to survive throughout the years so its not impossible for the jedi to gain knowledge of the code through those means.
Now while the sith have been known to cheat that didn't became so badly abused until the time of palpatine allowing the Jedi to fall into a false sense of security not really focused on the reality of the rule being bent.
From the sith perspective the rule of two was upheld as long as the student does not have an indisposable assassin. Think darth maul who has been told to be palpatine's assassin while palpatine's master still lived and the only reason why it was not considered a betrayal by plaguius was because they considered maul disposable and ignorant of their larger plans. In contrast this is why in the clone wars show doouku was ordered to get rid of his apprentice because palpatine feared she has lived too long, grown to powerful and would know more than she should.
Yeah its still bending the rules and i can see where you are coming from but palpatine and plaguius were politicians and skirting the line was always a political tool

A sith 1v8ing jedi with a force push? Uh huh... if they were off guard maybe but they saw him approach and were ready. The force isn't a one-sided magic system, you can always push back
Especially since on the space lesbian planet 2 not-jedi pushed back against evil twin whatever-her-name-is.
You just don't realize the writers are dark side, all the way; therefore, they've made it better, stronger, more powerful....cuz reasons.
Also, "Canon & lore are just suggestions," so please stop using them to defend your Sith-ism, sexism, racism, misandry, misogyny, etc.
Kinda puts a dent in the "power of many" from the last episode doesn't it?
In the old republic game cutscenes and trailers, this happens somewhat so it can happen.
But that is Malgus and he would wipe the floor woth every jedi and sith in this series
Why are the sith helmets getting dumber and dumber looking?
Because old raisin Palpatine isn't the one doing the designs. Kylos was ok I guess but it's all downhill from there.
Inquisitors have some good ones from the Jedi games. Like why couldn't they take one of those as inspiration? Instead we got man in the iron mask cosplaying as a Sith
The one in Acolyte looks like someone cut up a biker jacket, threw it to the actor and said "wrap your head in that".
Just remember....Lee Jung-Jae (Squid game actor) .....took god knows how much time....to learn english to be apart of a Star Wars project. The odds were not in his favor with THIS being the one.
Characters can only be as intelligent as the writers.
Show: We're giving the single animal a they/them pronoun to show how woke we are
Normal thinking person called Alteori: Why are they referring to a single animal in the plural? Is there more than one on the ship? Is it a male only species? Why are they doing this, it makes no sense.
Thank you for demonstrating why this they/them stuff is so stupid.
Fr, even though Star Wars has self aware aliens people would probably still use "it" unless they are familiar with the species being one of the intelligent ones. This otter thing just seems like a regular creature so it's like they think you can "misgender" an animal. Not to mention it's a stupid concept when used on humans as well.
Now I may be playing devil's advocate but this is also insult to non-binary people who are genuinely good people and aren't so obsessed of their own sexual identity.
@@georgeray1906 Your reply made me come back to realize UA-cam seems to have deleted my previous reply here, lmao.
But yeah, I feel like even those who identify with the whole "non-binary" concept should feel offended by this as well since the show's basically implying they have to be coddled or can't speak for themselves to correct people.
This is one of those scripts where every line of dialogue is characters saying to each other what they already know or what the audience already knows
Everytime I am about to say something condescending to somebody from now on, I will follow it up with "even a hologram can tell me that" 😂

Master Ki'Adi Mundi wasn't even Born at this time, so I heard. So it doesn't make sense for him to be here. He's introduced at least 40 years later, AND in the Phantom Menace he says "The Sith have been gone for over a Thousand Years." Paraphrasing, but still.

It’s really hilarious that the show keeps reminding the viewers that she needs to kill the Jedi without a weapon especially after using throwing knives to kill Trinity. Also there’s absolutely no subtlety in this show whatsoever
LITERALLY FIRST PART OF THE JEDI CREED"THERE IS NO EMOTION!!!!!"WTF😂😂😂
Star Wars under Kathleen Kennedy and Leslye Headland is an absolute circus and all the competent clowns are all dead.
Recently found this Channel, Love it already! Thank you Alteori 🥰
Don`t want them wonder off "with a light saber" :))) Jedis are like kids you don`t want them to wonder off with scissors :))
Honestly one of the most ridiculous things I've noticed is just how emotional the Jedi are. Obviously a Jedi isn't supposed to be completely emotionless, but in the _real_ Star Wars they were always more contained and controlled. We have completely left behind the original concept of the Jedi being these sort of Zen masters.
The video had already earned a like from me but the whiplash comment cemented it. As for smart characters, writers don't necessarily have to be as smart as the characters they are writing, but they at least have to not be stupid because stupid shines through and ruins suspension of disbelief.
That's what I was telling someone and they told me to shut off my brain 😂😂😂😂 like suspension of disbelief works when you can trick the brain into believing it and it will shut off on its own.
Definitely one of the better reviews of the series I’ve come across. It’s refreshing to see the perspective of someone who’s not necessarily a fan of the franchise and has no expectations
Im sorry we all had to live to see this sad state of Star Wars.
Im still trying to catch lightning and leave this cursed reality and time line.
Yeah, think I've been born a generation too late, or kept a generation too long. Sad to see the massive decline of Western media to its current state.
I'm from the mid 90s and what's happening to our media and social morals is a tragedy. Tv, movies, video games all of it is tainted
4:30am, can't sleep and this comes out, fuck me😂😂😂
Love your non biased and real take in your commentary Alteori ❤ keep it up girl
Because the characters can only be as smart as the writer's are capable of being?
Loved it! your analysis is very analytical.
I have to say your uninfluenced perspective paired with your wit is highly entertaining. Looking forward to your next Acolyte review
Ki Adi mundi wasn't even born yet so he shouldn't have been there.. these people know nothing about StarWars. He was born 93bby. That's what it says on the back of his action figure I have
Alteori's thirst for the toy-boy jedi dude is growing strong
This didn't occur to me until now watching some of these clips on your video, but honestly The Acolyte has borderline "The Room"-level dialogue.
Characters can only be as smart as the writer.
Turns out that they can be as moral too.
I had this playing in the background, and hearing that osha-yord anime roleplay definitely snapped me out of what I was doing 🤣

Watching you review this will be far more enjoyable then ever watching the show haha.. thank you for enduring this for us
That dirty outro is something special. Loved the video.
Nothing's harder than Lucasfilm not blaming audience for their own failures.
Having almost zero cool action setpieces with a budget like that is a joke.
Are you telling me Super Sentai/Power Rangers can do a scene where 100 rangers fights 100 monsters on a quarry with lots of explosions and cool choreographies but Disney can't do a few Jedi fight in a forest with 10 times that budget?
Man...
The only thing good about The Acolyte is seeing all the Jedi again, and that's about it. I was really young when Star Wars: The Clone Wars came out, and that was honestly my first introduction to Star Wars. My dad had me watch it, and I was hooked. I loved it, and Anakin Skywalker was my favorite character.
Like I said, I was a kid when I started watching Clone Wars, so after Clone Wars, my dad had me watch the original trilogy. I was really confused. I didn't know when Anakin had a son, and I was super shocked when I found out Anakin became a bad guy. My little heart was sad because of it. After the original trilogy, I watched the prequels. Looking back, yeah, the prequels are bad, but as a kid, I liked them because, like I said, I grew up with Clone Wars as my first introduction to Star Wars. Seeing Anakin and Obi-Wan together in live-action was awesome to me.
With all that being said, what I loved about Clone Wars was seeing all the Jedi, the Jedi Temple, the Jedi Council, and the Jedi missions. So, when going into The Acolyte, I do like that we are seeing more Jedi. That's the only positive I will give it.
Edit: And what I mean is that it's nice seeing the Jedi temple and multiple Jedi's together in the original trilogy. Luke was the only Jedi, and in the sequels, Rey was the only Jedi, so it's nice seeing a show with multiple Jedis. This show still dogshit though.
What? Jedi skills aren’t transferable? In what world? She could have become a bounty hunter, a guard, any combat based job she’d be perfect for.
I think GreenPee is the Sith master. Also, we could've finally seen where the mega budget for this pile of crap went with an awesome Wooki lightsaber fight. Instead, what we got was just more 💩. Even if they didnt want to reveal Smilo-Ren they could've shown the Wooki jedi ignite his lightsaber and engage his opponent. Also, couldn't a group of JEDI MASTERS SENSE WHERE THEIR JEDI MASTER BROTHER WAS ON AN ENTIRE PLANET? Nope. They basically need a bloodhound sniffing a Wooki's year old jock strap to find him.
Bro that human giraffe line had me dying.
watching this show reminds me of time when i was in highschool and try to write a short story, and was so proud, and showed it to my friends who reads lots of books, and they all said how childish my writing was. lol they were kind enough to point out the flaws my writing, and this show reviews remind me of their points lol.
The writing is just objectively awful. The writers didn't know if she left the Jedi on her own or if the council dropped her, so they just decided to tell the viewers that it happened both ways and let them decide for themselves.
I mean, "you can't fire me, I quit first!" is hardly an unheard of dynamic. Kind of makes the protagonist look like a brat, but it's not even in the top ten biggest issues with the writing.
"She is still your family" If only the Jedi had that logic when Anakin's mother was on the line.
9:46 That's modern Disney for ya. Been chugging along this track for 15 years. They want us to feel sorry for the bad guy. It doesn't work this way at all. They still believe it can, and so they go all in. Every. Single. Time.
