If I had a nickel for every time a Disney Star Wars heroine decided to forgive the dark side villain because they saw them without their clothes on I'd have two nickels... which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it's happened twice.
"You killed that girl I kinda liked!" "Yeah but you didn't like her *that* much, right?" "Oh, good point. I forgot that a person's life has no intrinsic value beyond what they have to offer me in particular. One evil helmet, please!"
She was raised by lesbians, seeing Smilo naked to her was a massive revelations that there are other tools to use, so she forgets the tradition of her mothers, the way of the multiple orgasms, in favour of the corrupted way of the curved sabre, the style that can hit the G-spot better
I don’t think it was “Yeah but you didn’t like her that much right?” I thought it was “Yeah but you guys probably couldn’t like hook up or anything right?” Pretty sure everything else you had was right on the money though.
Sad Fact: As a bridge worker in construction, the average cost of building an entirely new bridge in my state (assuming there's no refurbishing work) is approximately 3 million. That's for four lanes and about 500 ft. So every episode of the Acolyte is equal to about 7 bridges on average in the United States. (my state falls on the average mean). Not only are you getting sustainable infrastructure for at least 30 years but you're also providing work for approximately 25 to 50 people for almost a year with that many to do. All for 30 minutes of this show.
It has to be accounting tricks to cover loses from other areas, $180 million is ridiculous. Dune 2 cost less and tells way more story and is visually superb, Disney stuff looks crap because they rely to much on CGI rather than locations and practical effects. Yea when you put into perspective what the money they piss away could be spent on its sad, and then they all lecture us about the environment and socialism.
@@dmac318310m more dune 2 had. Still that's embarrassing AF because they are probably the same length in the end. The quality, that's just a joke to compare lol.
Yeah, I hadn't written that on social media because I didn't want to sound too serious, but you can also think of the equipment it would mean in the health sector...
@timbothejedi4146 glad someone can see my comment because I can't (strange). Yea your right these episodes are so short if you remove credits,intro and recap it probably is the same length as Dune. I don't watch it but I watch EFAPs watchalongs.
So weird Headland wanted a scene where a man takes an unconscious woman to his home, gets newd in her presence, and then strolls out of the bath with everything hanging out before he tries to seduce her to cast off her old life and consider a new villainous career of doing whatever the hell you want, to get what you, at the cost of others.
"That man corrupted your sister." No Sol, I think the coven of darkside, lesbian, space witches did that, given that she tried to kill her own sister when she tried to leave. But no, blame the Sith Lord, who just lucked out on finding a child who was already conditioned to be a psyco murderer, because god forbid we hold women accountable for their evil actions in a Star Wars show.
At this point the powers of all the Jedi have fluctuated so wildly between scenes that I'm not even sure how powerful anyone is anymore. One second Sol is forcefully reading a guy's mind, the next he can't tell the sisters apart. One minute his padawan is an actual student doing basic lessons, the next she's competently fighting an alleged not-Sith. There are no rules, they're always precisely as strong or weak enough to perform whatever action the writers want.
I get the vibes that in one of the remaining episodes, they're going to pull a Rings of Power supermove and have "Unknown Planet" actually morph into a planet name that's known to diehard fans. I mean like, otherwise, there's no point in labeling it unknown. It remaining unlabeled would accomplish the same thing. So, the title must exist to be altered. Right? Unless of course, in episode 7, we get an establishing shot with "Unknown Planet" AGAIN, to confirm we are on that same unknown planet.
I just love how two episodes ago, every Disney shill was endlessly mocking all of us for still taking EU canon seriously, and now they keep pointing to it to defend most of the sh*t that’s happened in the past two episodes.
I love how in the same breath they’re able to say that anyone who hasn’t heard of Cortosis is an ignoramus, but also say that anyone who knows the longstanding canon backstory of Ki-Adi-Mundi is pretentious or some shit.
Maybe if we are lucky they will do a fusion dance in the last episode and turn into Super Mosha to fight Smilo, Sol and Leslye's wife at the same time.
@@reginaphalange9417 You know, now that I'm thinking about this... it might be the way they go about it. Jedi had to brainwash Osha to behave, while Mae ran away and found Qimir. Man, and that would add to the "there is no good or evil in Star Wars" that they want to push... Oh, jeez...
Disney protagonists are unable to resist the urge to fall for shirtless, murderous men. No matter the events leading up to their meeting (or lack of events).
Yeah it's like one of the writers saw the scene where Luke throws away his lightsaber through a reccomendation on youtube and made the rule based off that. If they saw the Mace Windu vs Palpatine scene on youtube maybe they wouldn't have made that rule.
@@2ndlegend125 No: They are not armed then. Because if they were then Smilo's stupid "an Acolyte kills without weapons"-line wouldn't make any sense. And we can't have that.
Writer 1:How is our stalwart character going to be seduced into the dark side? Writer 2: Wowowo repeat that word. Writer 1: Stalwart? Writer 2: No, the sex one. Writer 1: ...Seduce? Writer 2: I've got an idea. Absolute Cinema. Lesley really took "write what you know" to heart.
Nobody: "Remember when he tried to kill her last episode? Why did he do that? And if that was his motivation, why is he trying to seduce her right now?" Writers: "...."
So a Jedi Master can't distinguish between two Force users that have very different psyches, ideals and emotions, but an otter can distinguish between two identical twins wearing each other clothes? Obviously they wouldn't smell identically due to diet, environment and stuff, but still. Bare in mind, Jedi can easily recognize CLONES.
Jedi can recognize a person's "presence" in the force. They're also telepathic, and if you're not locking down your mind, they can read your thoughts without even trying. Well, they're supposed to be able to do that. It's just some useless lore established in the movies
But you see, what's the point of having twins without body swapping shenanigans. Everything else be damned. This is peak writing for very smart people.
"There is not much to look at sir, we are clones after all." "Yes. But in the force, very different you are."' Thanks for reminding me of that scene, make this "wuhuhu I pretent to be my twin" sceme so much more hilarious.
gotta love Smilo's actor putting the ABSOLUTE FINAL FUCKING NAIL in the dumbass cope of "Welllllll, Stranger's not REAAAAAALLLLY a REAL Sith! He hasn't explicitly stated-" No. He's a fucking sith. Stop carrying water for the fucking multi-billion dollar entertainment corporation which couldn't script-write its way out of a paper bag. I had to unsub from several channels over this absolute bullshit where they kept tryna gaslight the fans when we all *very clearly knew* exactly what was going on with this plot point.
I love that we have this discussion now again. How did that turn out for the people who said that Snoke and Kylo aren't Sith, because it's not stated in TFA - and all the typical signs of being a Sith don't count. Something tells me some of those people are the same who cry now too ...
Red sabers are a mark of the sith in the older movies, so either Disney explains whow did he find the knowlaedge to create those or I'm gonna call bulls
"Fun" fact: Smilo Ren is the apprentice of the green Jedi lady. It's been obvious since the last episode, because... they stole the idea from Expanded Universe. Luke was trying to fight a wannabe Sith Lady name Lumiya, who seduced and trained Jacen Solo (the original, better Kylo Ren) in the Dark Side of the Force, but she was difficult to deal with due to her using a lightwhip instead of a lightsaber. So later Luke constructed a new lightsaber shoto (a red one, for some reason) for defensive purposes and this allowed him to finally defeat Lumiya.
Another example of Disney stealing ideas from previous material. Some many cool concepts could’ve done using the legends material, but they instead trashed it and poke at its dead corpse for ideas like a vulture, picking and ripping it apart for their own benefits and pretending it’s “their” own idea. 🤦♂️
@Mr.observer47 I don't care that they're taking ideas from the stuff they axed. I care that they're using it horribly. I get that there's SO much expanded shit and SO much of it can be conflicting and confusing to keep track of. I'd argue that yknow... they do their fucking jobs and figure it all out. but sure, if they wanna axe it all from canon, then go right ahead because it opens up the possibilities of SOOOOO much shit you can do. but they've barely used any of it and used none of it well at all. I'd love to see Darth Nihilus in live action. or just in animation. but I want him done well and not turned into some cringe booty cheeks ass villain.
I have every confidence this is the *origin* story for why they instead burn their dead 130 years from now! You see Jedi Mistress Green Bean will have the bodies awaiting burial aboard a ship, but Smilo Ren resurrects them (with the established Ahsoka-witch powers), so to avoid this ever happening again, it becomes the jedi way to cremate.
Are you expecting anyone on the writing team to know something of Star Wars outside the sequel trilogy? Knowing one thing is asking too much out of these people x)
Sol’s ship taking off and the other one appearing immediately after is like something out of a comedy sketch. They can’t even do the most basic stuff (one ship leaving and the other one arriving at the same planet) without making it laughably stupid.
Fans: "His genitals are made from a material called Dongosis, it's really rare, and it can turn anything it touches into a lightsaber. This doesn't break canon because it was mentioned in this one sentence from this one book."
I think I have read this book before, but strangely I couldn’t find it in the sci-fi section of the book store. In fact, I’ve seen this book when browsing the web on incognito mode.
Naw, Dongosis is a material that turn women to the dark side. Lesbian witches had no men to protect themselves from its influence, but Ossie fell to its might.
"Maybe Osha will flip this time..." *Osha puts on helmet pretending to have a lung disorder* Yeah, she flipped alright...so much for all that Jedi training. Worst Padawan of the Year. No wonder the Jedi booted her out of the Academy. This also means neither Osha, nor Mae, have any redeeming character traits or values...so neither are worth saving.
"Neither are worse saving" But... but... but they're wahmen! Black wahmen at that! They're worth EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!111!!1!11!!1!!1!11111!1! ... yeah I'm pretty sick of this shit, too.
The problem with the way they present the Sith here is that the writers are so ideologically captured that they genuinely believe stuff like Yord arresting her and the Jedi being against the relationship (with another woman mind you) is clearly equal or worse than this sexy Sith Jedi just killing them all. They have a complete morality failure which is what's causing so many of the stupid things in this show.
A jedi gets a credible accusation that someone murdered someone else. He arrests her. Then after her innocence is cleared, he works with her without suspicion and allows her to participate in the hunt for the real murderer. This is apparently a ready for that jedi to die. What an asshole!
@@TheNoonishSometimes I'm genuinely worried about the people who write these shows, given the downright sociopathic writing on display. Then I remember these people are also massively incompetent and getting paid peanuts.
You know, this kinda makes the Jedi in Episode 3 look far more justified. If a sith serial killer can turn a former jedi to the dark side with 3 questions and a quick glance at his abs, yeah you would need to keep force users away from the dark side by any means possible.
I think the true meaning is that Sol just chose poorly. Osha is the evil twin and Mae just got a bad start - it's like in this one Simpsons-halloween-special, where we learn that Bart's "evil" twin was locked up in the attic. And then Hibbert figures out Bart was the real monster all along.
Jedi burn their dead. They ADR’d in that line about burying the dead because they realized they forgot to have the characters give a sh*t, and they didn’t even get the correct Jedi process.
I don't want to be seen defending the show, but perhaps her saying "bury" is an intentional hint that she's a Sith and not a Jedi. Maybe? Maaaaaaybe?? O.o If I'm right you owe me half a Shlurpo. If I'm wrong I owe you nothing because there's no way the writers are smart enough to do something actually intelligent.
@@Jasper_SilvaYou know, I have a terrifying thought from what someone said. Mohg is Sheev Palpatine. I thought it was a joke at first. But seeing Mohg now I now realise in horror that actually might be what Disney is trying to do. They fucked up Ki's age so why not do the same to Sheev?
In this episode, OSHA and Mae are one motion away from easily terminating their intended targets. *Mae doesn’t for no reason, and OSHA doesn’t for WORSE reasoning!*
@@Jasper_Silva It's almost like they're played by the same actress in a way that makes it impossible to distinguish between them because she can't act and they have no attributes or personalities.
@@TheNoonish what do you mean? Mae is angry and Osha just wants to do the right thing. thats all you need for characters. complexity, depth and nuance are for racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic genocide supporters.
Is it not the height of irony that Leslie Headland writes a scene where the male character is wearing only a robe which he then takes off in front of the female character? I mean, there's leaning into the meme, and then there's LEANING into it.
She didn't write it, but this is one of two episodes of the series that she directed, but she only co-directed it. If you look at the credits, Leslye was actually only really involved with the first episode and this episode. Every other episode was directed and written by other people, usually a different writer and director for each.
Anakin was gettin' some on the regular from Padme. He needed extra convincing. OSHA has Hybristophilia, and watching all her fellow Jedi get massacred in front of her flipped a switch.
"Hm, a bunch of Jedi were murdered. Sol must have suddenly turned crazy and murdered all the team members he brought to the planet for no reason!" Jesus christ, that's quite the fucking leap there for someone who has no context, Mog! Also: "That's the path to the dark side." "Semantics." Fucking how!? Even a Sith would acknowledge the difference between the dark side and the light side and how they interact with the force. And if anybody was allowed to have an actual conversation, Osha would easily counter that.
Does he not now about the fact that two jedi MASTERS are already dead? How do you not conclude that it's the person who killed Inara, or else someone connected to her? But then, I guess Mog doesn't know about anything that's happening since they're not telling the council, so two jedi masters can just die and nobody knows anything about it.
@@TheNoonish Even if he doesn't know anything about why they were there, it's such a leap in logic to go "Ah, a respected jedi master just suddenly turned evil. Nobody else could have beaten jedi masters!".
Mog is just there to look like a weak incompetent male so the green wahman can seem strong and intelligent by comparison. It's the only way feminists know how to write strong female characters. What if we just make the men look weak? Brilliant!
A Jedi who served for over sixteen years. Trained at least two Padawans (Osha and Jecka) and was so important and respected he was allowed to lead a contingent of Jedi to a planet. A lot of Jedi btw.
13:00 Lee Jung-Jae continues to carry this show on his back alone. I'm glad that the cast and people in general recognize he's still bringing something to the table and I hope that this won't hurt his career prospects. If anything, it increased my respect for him. He really is just a good actor.
So not only did he absolutely dominate against multiple Jedi knights and against a Master, he did so BLIND!!!!!!!! WT-Absolute-F! Also what a nothing burger of an episode. Also also, shouldn't Sol be freaking out wondering where Osha is? Like does he not care?
I pointed this out on TikTok and some idiot replied to say that I clearly hadn’t seen the episode because the mask is meant for sensory deprivation like the younglings’ helmets. My immediate response was to ask why there would be eyeholes at all, since surely the pinpricks of light coming in would be more distracting than anything else.
He didn't care when Jecka and Yord died. He just let it happen. Why would he care about some person he's not seen in 16 years? Jecka cared more about her and they've known each other for less than a day. Dude didn't even care his former teammates from that Lesbian Witch convent mission were dying despite supposedly knowing them for years. Or when Joffrey's brother got tortured in front of him.
What do you mean? I think this established a lot: Osha will fall for every attractive guy who poses nude in front of her, even if he's a serial killer and Sol turned out to be even dumber than before. So it was great character-work.
I mean, it's only the second filler episode in an 8 episode series I think that's very efficiently establishing that there is no talent involved in the creation of this show
To be fair to Sol, Mae doesn't have to try hard at all to pretend to be her sister. Both characters are so insanely devoid of personality and purpose that she could have kept up the ruse for years without any effort.
I hate and have always hated a light whip because it's purely an aggressive weapon. It's not made for defence, you can't block with it, you can only relentlessly attack. It's not precise, or elegant, it can't be a tool, or have any other utility besides attacking. It's barbaric and completely antithetical to everything a Jedi should stand for and represent.
Funny you should say that cause the character the creators stole the light whip thing from in the EU is a purely aggressive sith. Like they know literally nothing about storytelling beyond "ooh, it looks cool, I want it!"
@@mrmcawesome9746The EU version of the Lightwhip made more sense technologically as well. It had an actual physical cable covered in tiny filaments that ignited together when activated. Making it a floppy plasma noodle is fucking hilarious and stupid.
@@BumfluffAddlepate It's vague. And it's probably vague on purpose, so they didn't have to think about it. But we DON'T know how long Luke is on Dagobah training, we DON'T know how long Empire is chasing Millenium Falcon, we don't really know how long they are on Cloud City either. From what we see in the movie it could be hours, days or weeks with us seeing only key points. In OT you can insert a time skip into any hyperspace jump and it works. Disney SW is not vague. It's blatant teleportation.
@@BumfluffAddlepate because it really doesn't. At no point does lack of tangible distance effect the world building. We don't need to know how much time any of the travel takes, we just need to know 'the outer rim' isn't about 15 minutes from the galactic fucking capital.... This is just how abysmal the writing under Disney has become. They can't even grasp the utility of 'vague', it's always exactly what the story needs to get to the payoffs as quickly as possible. They actively draw attention to how blatant the convenience is.... It's such fundamentally awful writing it defies belief sometimes.
"The Outer Rim" 15 minutes travel. This is just teleportation. Hell, this doesn't work logic wise: 15 minutes away is the outer rim? How mucch time does it take to reach an internal planet? 3 minutes taking into account 54 seconds for take off and landing.
That's a weird bad sign with these writers rooms, I remember that kind of sloppy regards to in universe consistency specifically with travel times also showing up in Game of Thrones after season 5 when they started straying further away from the books and running out of good material.
The sloppy time issues in this show aren't limited to hyperspace travel. For example, Smilo Ren escapes the moths, finds Osha, carries her unconscious body back to his ship which had been landed multiple hours travel (unburdened) away from the fight, and flew to unknown planet and swam her across the water and cooked a stew... before Squid Games leaves
When this show ends, there needs to be a proper fan edit where there is a laugh track at the end of every dumb moment in this show and Pronhub music during the stalker scene.
In about 3 episodes we have gone from "I live for revenge" to "I'm done with this" to "I don't care what happens I just want to be with my sister" to "I actually do care and don't want to get arrested" to "I'll impersonate my sister to get revenge" to "Maybe I won't get revenge after all cause the Jedi looks sad" and mirroring that we have "The Jedi are good" to "The sith are kinda hot". What an absolute skidmark of a show. You can tell they cut and spliced a LOT of the script here because character motivation is flying wildly in all directions and people are teleporting to where they need to be.
1:50 Y'alls predictive abilities are waning. Obviously, the communications console won't be able to tell which way is up without a command ship nearby, and therefore the signals won't go towards the intended recipients.
The interactions between the characters aren't the kind of discussions adults have. These are lines taken directly from young adult books and movies. The trope that the plot can only move forward because people hold back info is getting old. Also, these women are 20 something years old and have no motivation or agency based on experiences they would have had during their lifetime. It's really thin and uninteresting.
Smile-o Ren's counter arguments to Osha's accusations are pure narcissism; Yord arrested YOU, (never mind that he was following evidence and doing his job), and Jackie would never get together with YOU, (because her young life apparently worthless if she isnt with Osha).
For anyone who's seen "A New Hope," if Mae could easily rest Osha's droid to its orginal factory settings, then why did Uncle Owen (100 years later, mind you) needed Luke to take R2-D2 to Anchorhead to have his memory erased? Couldn't he have just hit the reset button? Leslye Headland: "Consistency, what's that?"
It also makes the whole "are droids sentient beings?" question all the more disturbing. Plus, they _just_ did a whole stupid episode about droids being people on The Mandalorian.
My issue is how easy it would be. She pressed and holds like 2 buttons, that's how you take a screenshot on most phones. You know how many accidental screen shots I take? Imagine accidently resetting your primary device to factory settings every couple days.
@@mattparsons2045 Yeah, it's ridiculous. It also takes away some of the uniqueness of the droids, imo. It seemed like some of the droids were very special in their designs that someone would have to take them to specific facilities to have them re-programmed. Acolyte makes them no more special than an I-phone in your pocket.
@@tyrannozilla the only thing that is give them is that this seems halfway between a droid and a mutlitool. It's the age old question of why would you give a toaster feelings
I’m in awe of how a show can clock in at, roughly, 4 hours and a good 75% of that is useless information, superfluous information, or just butt fucking nothing happening.
The extent that time and distance means nothing in this show is impressive. In the hour to hour and a half, that master Squid was in orbit after sending his message easage to the Jedi on Coruscant, the Jedi 1. Received the message and presumably unscrambled or somehow recovered it, then listened to it and realized the importance of the message. 2. Found Master Nepo and told her about the message. She seems pretty important and may have a good amount of things to do and may not be available or easy to find. 3. Master Nepo hears the message and makes a decision to send back up and to go herself to see what happened. 4. She then decides who is going with and contacts them to let them know they need to get ready to go as soon as possible. This is going to take time unless you've got a Jedi quick reaction team permanently on stand by. Given that in the grand scheme of things, there aren't that many Jedi, a quick reaction team is unlikely. 5. Master Nepo and the Jedi who are going to investigate the incident need to travel to wherever the Jedi keep their space ships, prepare one for take off. Submit a flight plan to whoever runs the airspace over Coruscant and get that plan approved. The Jedi ship then needs to clear the planet and probably wait to use a specific hyperspace lane because given the amount of space traffic on Coruscant, you probably can't just jump in and out of near Coruscant space with out the danger of running into an incoming or out going ship. 6. FINALLY, they need to actually travel from Coruscant to the planet in the Outer Rim. There's a reason it's called the Outer Rim, by the way. It's really, really, really far from the core planatary systems at whose core is Coruscant. It should take a decent amount of time to travel there! Traveling by hyperdrive, no matter how fast it is, still takes TIME! It's not teleportation. So the fact that Master Nepo and her team of Jedi can do all that in the hour to hour and a half Master Squid Game was in orbit is utterly ridiculous. This show can't even get the most simple things correct.
@lordmontymord8701 Lol, how could I have forgotten about those? They must have run out of them in the next hundred years cause they never seem to use them again.
@@beowulfsrevenge4369 Until they are miraculously rediscovered for the sequel trilogy given the way they are bouncing around all over in Rise of Skywalker within a very short time frame (seriously doesn't Palpatine say he will attack within a day or so?).
Don't forget that Mae and Sol are on their ship at the end of the episode, taking off, while Smilo Ren finds Osha. So let's examine what Smilo Ren did. 1) Scooped Osha up and carried her, unconscious, all the way back to HIS ship, also through the jungle. 2) Piloted his ship to a different planet. 3) Landed his ship on a different planet. 4) Carried Osha inside and gave her some kind of treatment for her injury. 5) Had enough time for the tide to apparently come in. 6) Wandered off. In the meantime, Sol and Mae have reached orbit after taking off. This show has no interest in internal continuity.
The fact that Disney keeps the Clone Wars 3D series as canon despite multiple times the long times between warps were mentioned (some took days to get to places closer to Coruscant than Kelnakas world) is so fucking funny. They just love to ruin their own shows.
Leslie Headland claims this was a passion project she greatly cared about, and she had over 3 years to work on it. There's not enough story here to fill 8 relatively short episodes. The entire purpose of this one is to tease things out so they could do the big reveal in the next episode. It's absolutely shocking. You can make a show that has episodes where the characters aren't doing much, and it's still telling a story. Maybe they're simply doing basic maintenance on their equipment and that allows the audience to learn more about what a routine day is like for the character, and they can do things and express themselves in unique ways as they do things. It can be "filler," but if you've got characters, just spending time with the characters itself allows you to craft a story. There are no characters here. Nobody has traits that define how they feel, nobody has a routine they engage in every day, nobody has a history that is expressed through their decisions and their actions. So we're just waiting for the episode to stop dicking around enough to tell us what the plot is, and this episode's plot is "Delay until the next episode which has a bit of plot." It's even worse than just random Mando sidequests, where he at least has to do or see something new (which is equally vapid and stupid, but at least there's a reason the story starts and ends). There is such a lack of interest in telling a story here.
From what I heard elsewhere, she re-wrote the last several episodes solely because of Smilo Ren's popularity with her crew when filming earlier episodes. So yeah, she spent years getting approval fro an IDEA she had but basically wrote it as she went along.
"Unknown planet" My bored mind: And then after sticking a space ninja lightsaber into a hole, a volcano explodes and the text flakes away to reveal "Space Mordor".
This is perfect, just perfect. People are telling me that this is actually good. I say Osha is an 11 out of 10 on the Padme-murderboner-skale. If it really takes not more than this to convince her AND she falls for Smilo because hot, then i think there will be a switch in the end: She's the evil twin and Mae, who actually has a reason to hate the Jedi (because it's 100 % clear they are responsible for the death of her mothers), will see that things are not that easy and repent. And Sol is just an idiot.
"They have no principals or convictions" - It is as they say "a character is only as smart as the writer". A writer with no morals, principals or convictions is going to have a rough time writing a charcter who has them.
sooo he asks her if it 'feels good?' when she's holding on to his two handed lightsabre... and 'instructs' her how to hold it better for a 'quicker block' and she doesn't turn it on... what you doing disney i mean really
These god awful Disney shows are designed to be watched once and never again. There's no longevity, after you learn what the "great mysteries" are there's no point in repeated viewing. Honestly the only way I'm able to follow the acolyte is by watching you all shit on it. Keep up the good work. 👍
People say Anakins turn was quick af Took Palpatine years of eroding Anakin's faith in the Jedi and give in to the dark Osha sees Qimir's 'lightsaber', feels it throbbing in her hand. We dont know exactly how long she was there but its filmed like she turned in less than a day Also note, a powerful man takes the sister of woman he's "raised" since she was orphaned, now doing the same to her sister after kidnapping her. Is this empowerment?
Eh the prequels laid a lot of groundwork but the final turn was pretty flimsy. Like less believable than his mini genocide of arabs... I mean sand people. But still more believable than him confessing his mini genocide to his girlfriend and her being like "well its okay, being angry is human."
41:00 i once ran a star wars table top campaign. Because I was an intricate plot i realized I need to be very precise on time, and thus did my research to learn that with a good hyperdrive, and pilot, it takes 2 weeks to travel from galactic south to galactic north. In other words, it should take a week give or take a couple of days to get from coruscant to the Outer Rim. But what do I know, Im just a nerd who cares about realism within the setting, and logical writing.
You must've noticed just how completely absent travel times have been in Disney Wars. The only time it "sorta" mattered was not even in hyperspace, it was the TLJ sublight normal space chase (that still somehow had the ships go from one star system to another in, like, hours? Without a lightspeed drive of any kind, explicitly so!). Goes back to what Chato reaffirmed recently. Guys are generally tinkerers, we love "gear porn" as he puts it, the precise specs and technicalities and how things work, we love to hear every bolt in a spaceship engine, we love to have things happen in the correct amount of time and for time and space to matter. Women, in contrast, generally tend to not care at all about such things, so works oriented towards (or made by) women always leave those parts out; travel is only included if there is interpersonal drama or romance happening during it, and if it's not, it's instantaneous. Writers of/for this mindset simply do not care that it completely breaks not just tech lore in-universe but common sense logic about any kind of physics, that FTL just becomes magical instant teleporting. They and their target audience only care about the drama the characters are arriving towards or departing from.
@@billjacobs521 It still takes at the very least hours (for established successful travel lanes), and for the Outer Rim uncharted regions, easily days. Here it took all of 10-20 minutes from getting the notice at all to arriving in system, which means the team spent more time assembling and boarding the ship than flying it.
The twins are going to flip and Smilo is just a Sith apprentice looking to have his own so he can take HIS master who is actually the REAL BBEG ...which will be Saber whip lady or one of the twins mothers. Just what i sense is going on because this is textbook Filoni writing 101. He's done this multiple times throughout Clone Wars and Rebels and i see no reason for them to change formula now.
The most interesting thing they've probably done with Smilo Ren is briefly address the idea that the Jedi are "less than human" because of their practice of shunning (it's supposed to be controlling but seldom comes across as such) their emotions and attachments. Of course, this has been much more thoroughly explored in EU material, such as KotOR 2.
Holy shit, it's like stuff is happening and it makes no sense. Why would Sol leave, and not even tell them where he was going? Is he the Sith Lord? why did Mrs. Piccolo whip that guy? She's clearly the one who whipped his back. when Sol left, an Piccolo Jr. Told him to leave his communicater on he turned off the Transmission.
The writers couldn’t even be bothered to put a scene of Mae messing with the ship to excuse y sol didn’t tell the Jedi. first the comms just go out for no reason then the whole ship turns off for NO REASON like what!? The contrivance is amazing
Yeah. What should have happened is that Mae should have sabotaged the comms, and Mae should have also kept her sweet distance from Sol so that Sol couldn't detect her identity. And then Sol should have sensed her identity on his own without help from the fuzzy little alien.
In regards to what Ryan said about one of them having someone close that might feel their death, they've established that Yord has a padawan already. So the jig has to be up. Besides, its not like the Jedi aren't going to find out about the 10 or so missing Jedi.
YEah, why did she disappear? It was so weird to give him a padawan but then leave her behind almost immediately, yet we take Jecki, so it can't be that it's too dangerous to take padawans along.
5:42 I was more disturbed by The Black Knight from Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance. Every time he showed up, you knew that Ike - the protagonist of said game - and his crew didnt stand a chance. Even when Ike gets Ragnell, he defeats The Black Knight by the skin of his teeth. If you gave The Black Knight a suit of armor made of Cortosis and gave him a lightsaber, nobody would have gotten off that island. But if you gave Smilo Ren the armor of The Black Knight, Ike's dad would have killed him easily because of how stupid he is.
Imagine if the second Jedi ship had arrived just two seconds earlier and they'd both become space dust when the first crashed into it entering hyperspace? Funny how -Venestra- Handsome Squidward didn't need a guide. And just for a little extra soul crushing, based on some estimates I've seen online an episode of DS9 was about 2 million. That would make it roughly 4 million adjusted for inflation today. That napkin math would make these 8 episodes the equivalent investment to *45* DS9 episodes. Meditate on that.
This has the same budget per episode as House of the Dragon and Andor - i think that's even more depressing. Going for Nu Trek: SNW costs only 7 mio. per episode ... Btw.: Wasn't the idea behind the Volume to save money?

Sad Fact: As a bridge worker in construction, the average cost of building an entirely new bridge in my state (assuming there's no refurbishing work) is approximately 3 million. That's for four lanes and about 500 ft. So every episode of the Acolyte is equal to about 7 bridges on average in the United States. (my state falls on the average mean). Not only are you getting sustainable infrastructure for at least 30 years but you're also providing work for approximately 25 to 50 people for almost a year with that many to do. All for 30 minutes of this show.
It has to be accounting tricks to cover loses from other areas, $180 million is ridiculous. Dune 2 cost less and tells way more story and is visually superb, Disney stuff looks crap because they rely to much on CGI rather than locations and practical effects.

I get the vibes that in one of the remaining episodes, they're going to pull a Rings of Power supermove and have "Unknown Planet" actually morph into a planet name that's known to diehard fans. I mean like, otherwise, there's no point in labeling it unknown. It remaining unlabeled would accomplish the same thing. So, the title must exist to be altered. Right?
Unless of course, in episode 7, we get an establishing shot with "Unknown Planet" AGAIN, to confirm we are on that same unknown planet.

So a Jedi Master can't distinguish between two Force users that have very different psyches, ideals and emotions, but an otter can distinguish between two identical twins wearing each other clothes? Obviously they wouldn't smell identically due to diet, environment and stuff, but still.
Bare in mind, Jedi can easily recognize CLONES.
Jedi can recognize a person's "presence" in the force.
They're also telepathic, and if you're not locking down your mind, they can read your thoughts without even trying.

@@luispalao74184️⃣
"Fun" fact: Smilo Ren is the apprentice of the green Jedi lady. It's been obvious since the last episode, because... they stole the idea from Expanded Universe.
Luke was trying to fight a wannabe Sith Lady name Lumiya, who seduced and trained Jacen Solo (the original, better Kylo Ren) in the Dark Side of the Force, but she was difficult to deal with due to her using a lightwhip instead of a lightsaber. So later Luke constructed a new lightsaber shoto (a red one, for some reason) for defensive purposes and this allowed him to finally defeat Lumiya.
Back in the day, lots of people had red lightsabers.
Exactly from the very start it’s obvious that she is gonna be the one at the end that steps out as the secret traitor to Jedi
Another example of Disney stealing ideas from previous material. Some many cool concepts could’ve done using the legends material, but they instead trashed it and poke at its dead corpse for ideas like a vulture, picking and ripping it apart for their own benefits and pretending it’s “their” own idea. 🤦♂️
@Mr.observer47
I don't care that they're taking ideas from the stuff they axed. I care that they're using it horribly.
I get that there's SO much expanded shit and SO much of it can be conflicting and confusing to keep track of. I'd argue that yknow... they do their fucking jobs and figure it all out. but sure, if they wanna axe it all from canon, then go right ahead because it opens up the possibilities of SOOOOO much shit you can do. but they've barely used any of it and used none of it well at all.
I'd love to see Darth Nihilus in live action. or just in animation. but I want him done well and not turned into some cringe booty cheeks ass villain.
Luke did fall to the dark side for a time in Legends also.
"Prepare these bodies for burial" Um, don't you cremate Jedi?
I have every confidence this is the *origin* story for why they instead burn their dead 130 years from now!
You see Jedi Mistress Green Bean will have the bodies awaiting burial aboard a ship, but Smilo Ren resurrects them (with the established Ahsoka-witch powers), so to avoid this ever happening again, it becomes the jedi way to cremate.

The problem with the way they present the Sith here is that the writers are so ideologically captured that they genuinely believe stuff like Yord arresting her and the Jedi being against the relationship (with another woman mind you) is clearly equal or worse than this sexy Sith Jedi just killing them all. They have a complete morality failure which is what's causing so many of the stupid things in this show.
The people making this show are fanatics. They are evil people that really thinks they are the good guys.
A jedi gets a credible accusation that someone murdered someone else. He arrests her. Then after her innocence is cleared, he works with her without suspicion and allows her to participate in the hunt for the real murderer.
This is apparently a ready for that jedi to die. What an asshole!
@@TheNoonishSometimes I'm genuinely worried about the people who write these shows, given the downright sociopathic writing on display. Then I remember these people are also massively incompetent and getting paid peanuts.

If a sith serial killer can turn a former jedi to the dark side with 3 questions and a quick glance at his abs, yeah you would need to keep force users away from the dark side by any means possible.
I think the true meaning is that Sol just chose poorly. Osha is the evil twin and Mae just got a bad start - it's like in this one Simpsons-halloween-special, where we learn that Bart's "evil" twin was locked up in the attic. And then Hibbert figures out Bart was the real monster all along.

Dude didn't even care his former teammates from that Lesbian Witch convent mission were dying despite supposedly knowing them for years. Or when Joffrey's brother got tortured in front of him.
It's insane how little is accomplished in this episode.
What do you mean? I think this established a lot: Osha will fall for every attractive guy who poses nude in front of her, even if he's a serial killer and Sol turned out to be even dumber than before. So it was great character-work.
I mean, it's only the second filler episode in an 8 episode series
I think that's very efficiently establishing that there is no talent involved in the creation of this show
To be fair to Sol, Mae doesn't have to try hard at all to pretend to be her sister. Both characters are so insanely devoid of personality and purpose that she could have kept up the ruse for years without any effort.
Except for the giant white tattoo on her forehead 😂😂. But yeah, I get your point.
The fact that that Jedi has the same name as a character from spaceballs is amazing
Jedi Master Pizza the Hutt
"I'm Mog, I'm my own best friend"
I hate and have always hated a light whip because it's purely an aggressive weapon. It's not made for defence, you can't block with it, you can only relentlessly attack. It's not precise, or elegant, it can't be a tool, or have any other utility besides attacking. It's barbaric and completely antithetical to everything a Jedi should stand for and represent.
If we're luck, that might be the point, and it's a reflection of Vernestra as a character.
Funny you should say that cause the character the creators stole the light whip thing from in the EU is a purely aggressive sith. Like they know literally nothing about storytelling beyond "ooh, it looks cool, I want it!"
@@mrmcawesome9746The EU version of the Lightwhip made more sense technologically as well. It had an actual physical cable covered in tiny filaments that ignited together when activated. Making it a floppy plasma noodle is fucking hilarious and stupid.
"An Acolyte kills the dream". This is just 'let the past die, kill it if you have to' 2.0. It's ALL meta. It's ALL deliberate.
Everything about this show is allegorical and it’s so repulsively bad
It killed the dream of any Disney stockholders hoping for a return in their lifetime.
Hyperspace was basically teleportation since TFA. It's funny how people are still surprised by that.
@@BumfluffAddlepate It's vague. And it's probably vague on purpose, so they didn't have to think about it.
But we DON'T know how long Luke is on Dagobah training, we DON'T know how long Empire is chasing Millenium Falcon, we don't really know how long they are on Cloud City either. From what we see in the movie it could be hours, days or weeks with us seeing only key points. In OT you can insert a time skip into any hyperspace jump and it works.
Disney SW is not vague. It's blatant teleportation.
@@BumfluffAddlepate because it really doesn't. At no point does lack of tangible distance effect the world building. We don't need to know how much time any of the travel takes, we just need to know 'the outer rim' isn't about 15 minutes from the galactic fucking capital....
This is just how abysmal the writing under Disney has become. They can't even grasp the utility of 'vague', it's always exactly what the story needs to get to the payoffs as quickly as possible. They actively draw attention to how blatant the convenience is.... It's such fundamentally awful writing it defies belief sometimes.
"The Outer Rim" 15 minutes travel. This is just teleportation. Hell, this doesn't work logic wise: 15 minutes away is the outer rim? How mucch time does it take to reach an internal planet? 3 minutes taking into account 54 seconds for take off and landing.
That's a weird bad sign with these writers rooms, I remember that kind of sloppy regards to in universe consistency specifically with travel times also showing up in Game of Thrones after season 5 when they started straying further away from the books and running out of good material.
The sloppy time issues in this show aren't limited to hyperspace travel. For example, Smilo Ren escapes the moths, finds Osha, carries her unconscious body back to his ship which had been landed multiple hours travel (unburdened) away from the fight, and flew to unknown planet and swam her across the water and cooked a stew... before Squid Games leaves
When this show ends, there needs to be a proper fan edit where there is a laugh track at the end of every dumb moment in this show and Pronhub music during the stalker scene.
In about 3 episodes we have gone from "I live for revenge" to "I'm done with this" to "I don't care what happens I just want to be with my sister" to "I actually do care and don't want to get arrested" to "I'll impersonate my sister to get revenge" to "Maybe I won't get revenge after all cause the Jedi looks sad" and mirroring that we have "The Jedi are good" to "The sith are kinda hot". What an absolute skidmark of a show. You can tell they cut and spliced a LOT of the script here because character motivation is flying wildly in all directions and people are teleporting to where they need to be.
1:50 Y'alls predictive abilities are waning. Obviously, the communications console won't be able to tell which way is up without a command ship nearby, and therefore the signals won't go towards the intended recipients.
😂well played.
The interactions between the characters aren't the kind of discussions adults have. These are lines taken directly from young adult books and movies. The trope that the plot can only move forward because people hold back info is getting old. Also, these women are 20 something years old and have no motivation or agency based on experiences they would have had during their lifetime. It's really thin and uninteresting.
Smile-o Ren's counter arguments to Osha's accusations are pure narcissism; Yord arrested YOU, (never mind that he was following evidence and doing his job), and Jackie would never get together with YOU, (because her young life apparently worthless if she isnt with Osha).
no wonder it worked on her so well lol
“Jecki didn’t have THIS!” {helicopters his ‘lightsaber’}
Playing up to a woman's over-inflated sense of ego in order to seduce her? Jesus, it's more true to life than I first realized!
Ah, so terrible when the jailbait you're eye-fucking isn't on the table anymore. May as well turn evil. Is Osha a femcel?
@@scionofdorn9101Smilo Ren is a better company than a droid. And more flexible too!
22:59 Mog, he's a mog, half man half dog. He's his own best friend.
For anyone who's seen "A New Hope," if Mae could easily rest Osha's droid to its orginal factory settings, then why did Uncle Owen (100 years later, mind you) needed Luke to take R2-D2 to Anchorhead to have his memory erased? Couldn't he have just hit the reset button?
Leslye Headland: "Consistency, what's that?"
It also makes the whole "are droids sentient beings?" question all the more disturbing. Plus, they _just_ did a whole stupid episode about droids being people on The Mandalorian.
My issue is how easy it would be. She pressed and holds like 2 buttons, that's how you take a screenshot on most phones. You know how many accidental screen shots I take? Imagine accidently resetting your primary device to factory settings every couple days.
@@mattparsons2045 Yeah, it's ridiculous. It also takes away some of the uniqueness of the droids, imo. It seemed like some of the droids were very special in their designs that someone would have to take them to specific facilities to have them re-programmed. Acolyte makes them no more special than an I-phone in your pocket.
@@tyrannozilla the only thing that is give them is that this seems halfway between a droid and a mutlitool. It's the age old question of why would you give a toaster feelings
@@mattparsons2045 The toast would always be burnt if that were to happen.
remember when fire in space was the biggest problem people had with this show? ahh simpler times.
No. I don't.
The biggest problem with the show, from the outset is the show itself. It should not exist, and yet it has the audacity to continue.
That was never anyone's biggest problem with the show. It was just the most meme-able problem.
I’m in awe of how a show can clock in at, roughly, 4 hours and a good 75% of that is useless information, superfluous information, or just butt fucking nothing happening.
Leslye should've casted someone looking like Harvey Weinstein for smilo ren for those scenes to be accurate to her experience
Sole slapped the table in this episode! Where’s the wacha bring me meme with that?
19:16 He just said "Attack me with all your strength" to her in Beaverese...
The extent that time and distance means nothing in this show is impressive.
In the hour to hour and a half, that master Squid was in orbit after sending his message easage to the Jedi on Coruscant, the Jedi
1. Received the message and presumably unscrambled or somehow recovered it, then listened to it and realized the importance of the message.
2. Found Master Nepo and told her about the message. She seems pretty important and may have a good amount of things to do and may not be available or easy to find.
3. Master Nepo hears the message and makes a decision to send back up and to go herself to see what happened.
4. She then decides who is going with and contacts them to let them know they need to get ready to go as soon as possible. This is going to take time unless you've got a Jedi quick reaction team permanently on stand by. Given that in the grand scheme of things, there aren't that many Jedi, a quick reaction team is unlikely.
5. Master Nepo and the Jedi who are going to investigate the incident need to travel to wherever the Jedi keep their space ships, prepare one for take off. Submit a flight plan to whoever runs the airspace over Coruscant and get that plan approved. The Jedi ship then needs to clear the planet and probably wait to use a specific hyperspace lane because given the amount of space traffic on Coruscant, you probably can't just jump in and out of near Coruscant space with out the danger of running into an incoming or out going ship.
6. FINALLY, they need to actually travel from Coruscant to the planet in the Outer Rim. There's a reason it's called the Outer Rim, by the way. It's really, really, really far from the core planatary systems at whose core is Coruscant. It should take a decent amount of time to travel there! Traveling by hyperdrive, no matter how fast it is, still takes TIME! It's not teleportation.
So the fact that Master Nepo and her team of Jedi can do all that in the hour to hour and a half Master Squid Game was in orbit is utterly ridiculous. This show can't even get the most simple things correct.
The answer is simple: They all have class 0.0 hyperdrives ...
@lordmontymord8701 Lol, how could I have forgotten about those? They must have run out of them in the next hundred years cause they never seem to use them again.
@@beowulfsrevenge4369 Until they are miraculously rediscovered for the sequel trilogy given the way they are bouncing around all over in Rise of Skywalker within a very short time frame (seriously doesn't Palpatine say he will attack within a day or so?).
Don't forget that Mae and Sol are on their ship at the end of the episode, taking off, while Smilo Ren finds Osha. So let's examine what Smilo Ren did.
1) Scooped Osha up and carried her, unconscious, all the way back to HIS ship, also through the jungle.
2) Piloted his ship to a different planet.
3) Landed his ship on a different planet.
4) Carried Osha inside and gave her some kind of treatment for her injury.
5) Had enough time for the tide to apparently come in.
6) Wandered off.
In the meantime, Sol and Mae have reached orbit after taking off.
This show has no interest in internal continuity.
The fact that Disney keeps the Clone Wars 3D series as canon despite multiple times the long times between warps were mentioned (some took days to get to places closer to Coruscant than Kelnakas world) is so fucking funny. They just love to ruin their own shows.

Leslie Headland claims this was a passion project she greatly cared about, and she had over 3 years to work on it. There's not enough story here to fill 8 relatively short episodes. The entire purpose of this one is to tease things out so they could do the big reveal in the next episode. It's absolutely shocking.
You can make a show that has episodes where the characters aren't doing much, and it's still telling a story. Maybe they're simply doing basic maintenance on their equipment and that allows the audience to learn more about what a routine day is like for the character, and they can do things and express themselves in unique ways as they do things. It can be "filler," but if you've got characters, just spending time with the characters itself allows you to craft a story.
There are no characters here. Nobody has traits that define how they feel, nobody has a routine they engage in every day, nobody has a history that is expressed through their decisions and their actions. So we're just waiting for the episode to stop dicking around enough to tell us what the plot is, and this episode's plot is "Delay until the next episode which has a bit of plot." It's even worse than just random Mando sidequests, where he at least has to do or see something new (which is equally vapid and stupid, but at least there's a reason the story starts and ends). There is such a lack of interest in telling a story here.
From what I heard elsewhere, she re-wrote the last several episodes solely because of Smilo Ren's popularity with her crew when filming earlier episodes. So yeah, she spent years getting approval fro an IDEA she had but basically wrote it as she went along.

Sol's powers are so inconsistent that at this point I'm not sure what he's actually capable of.
This is perfect, just perfect. People are telling me that this is actually good. I say Osha is an 11 out of 10 on the Padme-murderboner-skale. If it really takes not more than this to convince her AND she falls for Smilo because hot, then i think there will be a switch in the end: She's the evil twin and Mae, who actually has a reason to hate the Jedi (because it's 100 % clear they are responsible for the death of her mothers), will see that things are not that easy and repent.
And Sol is just an idiot.
"They have no principals or convictions" - It is as they say "a character is only as smart as the writer". A writer with no morals, principals or convictions is going to have a rough time writing a charcter who has them.
sooo he asks her if it 'feels good?' when she's holding on to his two handed lightsabre... and 'instructs' her how to hold it better for a 'quicker block' and she doesn't turn it on... what you doing disney i mean really

*Stir whip, stir whip, whip whip stir!*
Nah that was some 4 armed lady on a cooking show and the wookie was fucking it up
2 episodes left and we still don’t know what the jedi did wrong. This deserves to be rated lower than the holiday special
Next episode will be the big reveal where Sol and Mae tell each other what they already know happened, so the audience can be clued in finally.
These god awful Disney shows are designed to be watched once and never again. There's no longevity, after you learn what the "great mysteries" are there's no point in repeated viewing. Honestly the only way I'm able to follow the acolyte is by watching you all shit on it. Keep up the good work. 👍

Also note, a powerful man takes the sister of woman he's "raised" since she was orphaned, now doing the same to her sister after kidnapping her.
Is this empowerment?
Apparently it's empowering if it's done by a man they're sexually attracted to.
Plus Anakin had his own problems, a large ego and a lack of self-control.
Eh the prequels laid a lot of groundwork but the final turn was pretty flimsy. Like less believable than his mini genocide of arabs... I mean sand people. But still more believable than him confessing his mini genocide to his girlfriend and her being like "well its okay, being angry is human."
41:00 i once ran a star wars table top campaign. Because I was an intricate plot i realized I need to be very precise on time, and thus did my research to learn that with a good hyperdrive, and pilot, it takes 2 weeks to travel from galactic south to galactic north. In other words, it should take a week give or take a couple of days to get from coruscant to the Outer Rim. But what do I know, Im just a nerd who cares about realism within the setting, and logical writing.
You must've noticed just how completely absent travel times have been in Disney Wars. The only time it "sorta" mattered was not even in hyperspace, it was the TLJ sublight normal space chase (that still somehow had the ships go from one star system to another in, like, hours? Without a lightspeed drive of any kind, explicitly so!).
Goes back to what Chato reaffirmed recently. Guys are generally tinkerers, we love "gear porn" as he puts it, the precise specs and technicalities and how things work, we love to hear every bolt in a spaceship engine, we love to have things happen in the correct amount of time and for time and space to matter. Women, in contrast, generally tend to not care at all about such things, so works oriented towards (or made by) women always leave those parts out; travel is only included if there is interpersonal drama or romance happening during it, and if it's not, it's instantaneous. Writers of/for this mindset simply do not care that it completely breaks not just tech lore in-universe but common sense logic about any kind of physics, that FTL just becomes magical instant teleporting. They and their target audience only care about the drama the characters are arriving towards or departing from.
Depends on where hyperspace lanes are too; going to an outer rim planet that is on trade routes will be faster than some uncharted planet.
@@billjacobs521 It still takes at the very least hours (for established successful travel lanes), and for the Outer Rim uncharted regions, easily days. Here it took all of 10-20 minutes from getting the notice at all to arriving in system, which means the team spent more time assembling and boarding the ship than flying it.
@@cattrucker8257 Right; my point was that it could take even more time, not less.
@@billjacobs521 Yep, we're in agreement here.
This is written as a soap opera. As the Unknown World Turns. Days of Our Jedi Lives. All My Padawans. Guiding Force.
This legitimately is a soap opera. Somehow being sold as the next evolution of Star Wars.
The twins are going to flip and Smilo is just a Sith apprentice looking to have his own so he can take HIS master who is actually the REAL BBEG ...which will be Saber whip lady or one of the twins mothers.
Just what i sense is going on because this is textbook Filoni writing 101. He's done this multiple times throughout Clone Wars and Rebels and i see no reason for them to change formula now.
The most interesting thing they've probably done with Smilo Ren is briefly address the idea that the Jedi are "less than human" because of their practice of shunning (it's supposed to be controlling but seldom comes across as such) their emotions and attachments. Of course, this has been much more thoroughly explored in EU material, such as KotOR 2.
Holy shit, it's like stuff is happening and it makes no sense. Why would Sol leave, and not even tell them where he was going?
Is he the Sith Lord? why did Mrs. Piccolo whip that guy? She's clearly the one who whipped his back. when Sol left, an Piccolo Jr.
Told him to leave his communicater on he turned off the Transmission.
Coruscant to Outer Rim?...eh, we'll be there in seconds.
Violations of time and space alone is enough to warrant this series as non-canon by default.
This episode would have been greatly improved if Osha said "Tell that to Yord's snapped neck." If only
The writers couldn’t even be bothered to put a scene of Mae messing with the ship to excuse y sol didn’t tell the Jedi. first the comms just go out for no reason then the whole ship turns off for NO REASON like what!? The contrivance is amazing
Yeah. What should have happened is that Mae should have sabotaged the comms, and Mae should have also kept her sweet distance from Sol so that Sol couldn't detect her identity.
And then Sol should have sensed her identity on his own without help from the fuzzy little alien.
Osha and Mae have no conviction.They keep switching motivations so easily
It doesn't help that the actress fucking sucks.
In regards to what Ryan said about one of them having someone close that might feel their death, they've established that Yord has a padawan already. So the jig has to be up.
Besides, its not like the Jedi aren't going to find out about the 10 or so missing Jedi.
YEah, why did she disappear? It was so weird to give him a padawan but then leave her behind almost immediately, yet we take Jecki, so it can't be that it's too dangerous to take padawans along.
5:42 I was more disturbed by The Black Knight from Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance. Every time he showed up, you knew that Ike - the protagonist of said game - and his crew didnt stand a chance. Even when Ike gets Ragnell, he defeats The Black Knight by the skin of his teeth.
If you gave The Black Knight a suit of armor made of Cortosis and gave him a lightsaber, nobody would have gotten off that island. But if you gave Smilo Ren the armor of The Black Knight, Ike's dad would have killed him easily because of how stupid he is.
I can't believe they used the power of *force meme* to make Hawk 'Tua an actual planet in Star Wars.
Imagine if the second Jedi ship had arrived just two seconds earlier and they'd both become space dust when the first crashed into it entering hyperspace?
Funny how -Venestra- Handsome Squidward didn't need a guide.
And just for a little extra soul crushing, based on some estimates I've seen online an episode of DS9 was about 2 million. That would make it roughly 4 million adjusted for inflation today. That napkin math would make these 8 episodes the equivalent investment to *45* DS9 episodes. Meditate on that.
This has the same budget per episode as House of the Dragon and Andor - i think that's even more depressing. Going for Nu Trek: SNW costs only 7 mio. per episode ...
Btw.: Wasn't the idea behind the Volume to save money?
I wish they did crash into another, it would have actually been an interesting and surprising plot twist.
