So... In a galaxy far far away, black kids still don't have a father and are raised on drugs. Thanks Disney!
I mean... spiced cremes... really? They couldnt just say the words ice cream... could they?
Its a terrible play on words and thats just the start. Why not call it something like... i dont know, tooba candy. You could say it is made from the tooba fruit that grows on the planet locally.
And since the lesbian space witches dont look like thet ever leave. It could give more "flavor" to the setting and tell you, WITHOUT TELLING YOU, that this "coven" is secluded, isolated and is self reliant.
So tooba fruit is made into candy.
Where do they get tooba? From the planet.
Why? Because it grows everywhere.
Why make it into candy? For the children.
But why not something else? Becayse they RARELY if ever leave the planet they have colonized.
Its a small, tiny bit of world building that WHILE not completely neccessery to the plot it DOES add FLAVOR to the world and the story they are trying to tell.
The devil is in the details. Or whatever.
Also im going to try to work on a word play type thing.
What about Sap cakes? Its kinda lame i know. But THEY could say that they gather it from a certain OR certain trees and turn it into various sweet stuff.
THIS could also show how they are able to FEED everyone.
They gather what they need from nature and reuse it.
You could even show a small farm or green house or whatever.
I dont know. Its just... so stupid
Harvey's former assistant and KK: the Force is female
The Force is knocking women up, so actually the Force is male.
As for why the writing sucks, Headland wrote it. Her prior claim to fame was scheduling young women then escorting them into Weinstien's office. Anyone that expected coherent storytelling after listening to her speak in the last 5 or 6 years needs to lay off the spice cream.

Lots of flapping around in the hen house.
The ego and insecurities of Lesley Headland, ladies and gentlemen, for only 23 million dollars. "I'm an evil lesbian who helped Harvey Weinstein, so I'll crap all over a franchise that's suffered enough, villainize it's heroes and heroines and claim there is no good and evil." Also those kids were waaaaay too old to bring into the Jedi order
Nothing wrong with lesbian black witches, or women. The problem is when you create a show / characters and have your man hating D E I agenda at the forefront. The characters arent women because theyre women, theyre women because they arent white men. (side note - Unfortunately furiosa copped flak it shoudlnt have. Ripley, beatrix kiddo , furiosa. They are real women characters , not fake disney activist crap. Remember the shoehorned lesbian kiss in that last star wars movie? Im offended on behalf of all lesbians , and im a straight man. Its insulting to all. 'Carol' for eg., the Cate Blanchett lesbian movie, is proper movie about lesbians. Thumbs up. This disney & other D E I stuff is fake plastic horrendous garbage by terrible racist & misguided activists that needs to be destroyed with EXTREME prejudice.

*What could’ve been:*
✅ Sith perspective story similar to Darth Plagueis or Darth Bane novels; Sith warrior and inquisitor stories from SWTOR.
✅ Mature and grounded story similar to Andor but with the mysticism of the Dark Side. In-depth look at Sith philosophy as we follow a master/apprentice two vs an entire galaxy story.
✅ Well-written Sith protagonists part of a two-person organization in a thousand-year conspiracy to upset the Galactic status-quo.
✅ New Star Wars timeline.
Reality:
❌ The Acolyte…. “The power of one, the power of two. The power of many.”
@@mphoramathe1801 Thanks for the reply. Yep, im guessing its go. .gles utbe autobots. Wonder what words trig. so ill try to obscure. I was saying that lesb are a-ok. Stories about lesb or other colours are aok. 'Carol' the cate blanchett movie about that type is a proper movie. Thumbs up. What disknee are doing is activism. D .. - E.. ... I.. Ray cyst and is terrible / the worst, that ethically should be ended.
If the Force is a string, they cut it with all that sciccoring. ✂️
The honestly I think it's like dathomir where they use male slaves for breeding, but I guess the mom had her eggs fertilized inside the other woman for some reason, thus making sense that one "carried" them but the other "created" them. Just a theory since these women got to come from SOMEWHERE. So you have a surrogate mother which fixes the dialog, the male slave explains why no father, the and them being TWINS explains the specialty
😂😂😂😂

The amount of jokes we've all made about this show could fill ten seasons of a comedy show 😂
Apparently, the thread caught fire and burned the entire village down! 😅
Threads are traditionally flammable
Yeah... "i wont let you leave the coven... so instead i will KILL YOU!"
WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?
you know that they will try EVERY trick in the BOOK to get you to feel bad for the "evil" twin.
Not to qoute star wars here but, its not gonna be close to:
"From my perspective the jedi are evil!"
Nah. You are just a psycho evil twin. She is EVIL. No question. No redemption. Just put her down.
The fire spread to burn down the franchise
Who ever burned down the thread.... Please dont start killing Jedis because you started the fire...
Lmao
HAHAHAHA! Maybe if there were men in the place things would have been built with. sprinkler system.
the real villains are the writers and director
Spice cream was just dumb. That’s like saying “mom, can I put some cocaine on my chocolate ice cream?”
Sure would you also like a side of Cocainecola, fentanylfries, or some mollypops with your order?
So… donI follow you for more recipes?
I could say, would you like an ice cold coke? But that might ruin your analogy.
"...but but but Spice is harmless, it's natural, it's from the Earth, it should be legalized, it's not addicting, it would never act as a gateway drug."
It‘s delicious :)…try some occasionally.
The writers don't know what spice is. They don't even know who took down the death star.

It's a blatant plagiarism of DUNE, that's what.
After watching The Acolyte Episode 03, I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened.
Best. Comment. Ever!❤😅😮
This is creepy
Apparently there is no good or evil, at which point everything is meaningless.
no there is. the witches have a schism amongst them and have a dark side and light side too.
Everything is pointless but then again I am a scissoring communist space witch lesbian nihilist 😂😂😂😂
Seems dangerous in the world where people do horrible things to each other every day. I do not even see them as wrong.
I see them as seriously broken on the mental level.
Because this opinion is dangerous. They use it to promote laws, regulations, which is where were arive to cities with uncontrolled crime. These ideas influence how we live, and not in a good way.
Trinity says "you can't deny us to test the children" and also "with your permission of course" LMFAO bro she says you have to let us, if it's ok. You can't say no, unless you don't want us to. 😂😭 I hate this shit so much....
It reminds me of a police interrogation where they tell the perp "You aren't under arrest. The door is unlocked. You can leave at any time". And the moment the perp decides to leave they are arrested by the cops.
That felt SUPER "forced" for no reason. It ONLY happened because the script said it did
They went from contradicting themself in the same episode to contradicting themself in the same sentence.
They can't help themself, they're f*minists, contradiction is at the heart of their creed.

It seems that this has been deleted the first time, which actually proves the point I made quite well.
I had to pause and run it back when she said that. Made no damn sense 😂. If it was a matter of appeasing Queen Mother then there should’ve been an exchange between her and Sol or a lowering of her eyes to indicate that she’s just saying this to keep things copacetic.
Crazy how they try so so hard not to be racist and they just come full circle making 2 black kids grow up with no father and around drugs with the Star Wars logo slapped on
I didn’t even notice omg lmaoo
A village of only lesbians? Imagine visiting, and all you hear is a bunch of fire detectors beeping
Maybe that why they managed to burn down a rock wall.
So.... lesbians are another name for Canadians? Ha ok. Now i get the smoke alarm beep reference
Bet there was not a charged battery in the whole house.... you know... cuz no men to change it.... non melenated men that is
There's no sex in this show, so they aren't lesbians. You might as well call Qui-gon and Obi-wan homosexuals.
@@rorrschach8339 i have this really fun party you should come by... actually its not gunna be that fun..
You wouldn't, there were no Men to install the fire alarms.
Crazy how the stone temple caught fire and all the witches died of cringe poisoning.
They call that a gas leak in some places...
@@victormercado278Except in this case it wasn’t a gas leak. The evil kid started a fire with a small piece of paper which burnt the stone building down. And the witches died of cringe.
@@useruseruseruseruser790 it's a shame. You hate to see it. Such a... tragedy...? I think?
@@victormercado278 I really shouldn’t comment as I haven’t seen the show and I am not a fan of the franchise. But I will anyway. The whole thing seems tragic. Especially for the fans of Star Wars who are
1. Watching their franchise being destroyed by progressive activists.
2. Being portrayed as bigots if they don’t like what is happening.
@@useruseruseruseruser790 I agree
Right on stark I can't believe Disney makes captain America black makes a whole season talking about how hard it is to be a black captain America and then they put a bag over his head like wtf.
It may be hard being black in America but imagine being a giant mega rich multinational corporation trying to appease the Chinese government so you can make a bit more money
So, like DC and Marvel, now, the company hired self absorbed, pseudo activists, to write lesbian fan fiction, and pass it off as official content.
Just my two cents, I'm one of the people they claim to be fighting for. I'm a black man (though, being straight, and not having dreads, I probably lose points), and when they start screaming about doing things for people of color, I end up cringing. What you could do is tell the story, write a compelling, or at least competent character, first, who happens to be black. And retire the standard hairstyle, but that part is a nitpick.
And for people who claim to have no representation, gay characters are shown pretty much everywhere. Pick a newer show, any network, any newer Netflix or Hulu, show, movies, comics,and now it's bleeding into games, everything has gay characters, especially lesbians. It would be harder to find a story that doesn't have them. It was never anything I was interested in seeing, but if they were written better, they might've had a better chance. But they barge into story, fundamentally change all the rules, tell the audience it isn't for them, and call them bigots, on the way out.
I've been a Star Wars fan, for over 30 years. My mom got me into it. Surprise. A southern black lady liked Star Wars. Who knew? But bottom line, what they're doing now feel so far removed, from Star Wars. It doesn't feel like Star Wars. And it's a standard thing, to the "it's time for something different" crowd. If you want to add to a series, you can't subtract what made it what it was. If you want to write something different, do so, elsewhere. Stop making it all about you and your friends. If this was really needed or desired, the numbers wouldn't be as low as they are. EVERY fan that you've chased away isn't an istaphobic bigot. You've just removed what people loved, about a series, or set of characters.
The spongebob campfire meme is how writers explain how anything and everything can catch fire now
The power of 1 million, the power of 2 million, the power of many millions being lost on this franchise.
As a former kid... And a sibling... Me and my older sister fought like hell... Even when she beat me i didnt want to k!ll her. Firstly that didnt cross my mind. Secondly i thouhht only Jason and freddy did k!llings.
I know right? What the hell?!?
Im wondering how the heck the Padawan is the one who killed himself out of guilt after secluding for 10 years. He wasn't even in charge and was the one assaulted by the witches...
Exactly. Me and my brother fight a lot and yell At each other in heated arguments. But neither of us would kill the other. Like what the hell.

I actually sat here eating popcorn while watching this video. I'm watching these instead of the actual show
Let's go!! I do work quite hard on these so thanks!!
😂 everyone is watching these videos instead of watching the show
20:17 I really like a lot of this dude’s takes, humor, full break-downs, etc, but this moment is a perfect jab that I haven’t heard anyone else point out yet… because ultimately these people not only lack the imagination or competence to create something worthwhile for fans with MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, but also somehow are enriching themselves while burning this franchise to the ground 😂
21:01 also Fboy Chewbaka got me, too
24:42 spice cream 😂
@@Stark-CinemaYou people are sad. Thank God women are boycotting Westen men and choosing the bear and celibacy.
@Stark-Cinema They're boycotting having YOUR babies. Fertility isn't an issue in Third World countries, just Western and Eastern First World because women are given a choice and they choose not to give birth to you
That’s what I’m doing. I’ve watched a bunch of them and they are hilarious! Way better than the show itself.
"What the thread has joined together no one can separate." sounds awefully similar to "What God has joined together let no man put asunder" when it comes to marriage.
Is Disney seriously marrying two sisters together? 🤢
The Jedi would NEVER take a child that old, Yoda was on the council at that time and he didn’t want to train the fucking chosen one ffs.
They Jedi wouldn't train children this old because of the twins.
This allows the twins to be shoved into canon with them being the answer to the question
"Why don't they take older kids?"
Somehow, they'll turn the queen mother into a sith and say this Coven is the beginning of the sith and completely ruin canon
The “with your permission” line was given offscreen. Was probably thrown in at the end- because it makes absolutely no sense why they would allow them to be tested after what we saw. 🤔🙄
My man I actually thought this too! Left it out of the video but you're right on here.
Everything about this exchange indicates the writers really wanted to “go there” by making the Jedi the clear bad guys, but then someone or some group decided it needed to be more ambiguous, so they decided to “fix it” in post. It literally just screams, “We watched it back and wanted to change it, but we couldn’t afford to reshoot with our $23M budget, so we’ll just throw in some ADR to clean it up.”
Yes there really something wrong with that exchange. I agree had to edit in “with your permission “. Makes no sense they would allow the test. I the whole episode was heavily edited.
@@johnrains5240 Same with the sudden swerve in the testimony of the criminal from the prison ship. It's a really sloppy dubbing job.
It is because everyone is pushing consent for everything.
Making the call that Coral is the sith master. I dunno, it seems so stupid its probably right.
I thought that, but it occured to me that she wouldn't be able to wear a helmet because of the horns.
After seeing a flickering fire in space and a "candle" catch stone on fire, it is entirely possible now.
@@scycholistic The way I see it is, shes pissed because the coven gave up her child which she made a fuss about having carried to the jedi so she killed all of them then shes got a chip on her shoulder with the jedi for taking her baby so shes going after them with her remaining child. Its all so easy and dumb it fits right in with shit like you said, the fire in space, so how could it not be right haha,.
Why did they name a character after a workplace safety organization?
She's the only one to survive that dangerous village fire 😂
If only Nfpa had been there to stop it. Sadly she was cut from the script because her name was too hard to pronounce.
The only way to salvage the "thread" nonsense will be to later reveal these witches as a cargo cult with ignorant superstitions about the force. Long shot?
Yes. But that’s mostly because Darth Vader was also bred from the force. Everyone must be ignorant.
@@PeopleRTheProblem they're so dumb in writing they have to mimic that :))
@@PeopleRTheProblem Anakin was born from the force. Vader was born of manipulation by a sith. Just like these lesbos like manipulating children.... I see no issue~
@@PeopleRTheProblem Anakin was born naturally, the twins were created unnaturally.
it is. just like in real life. the Force is male, the Thread is female. ☯
The most powerful thing in the universe is not the force, it's not the thread, it's not even power. It's fire...Ordinary ass fire...
YESSSSSS
It's.... the power of ONE
THE POWER OF MAAAANNYYYY 😆
It manage to scar Anakin for life! Fire is op.
Those two actor girls have the emotional range of Alexa
So the evil Jedi colonizers abuse the force to kill people. But we the superior-but-also-somehow-oppressed witches learn to mercifully pull the thread not to kill, but to unalive people.
And thus, the semantics war began...
Once this show is over, it will be forgotten and will all forget what they tried to change....
I actually think we're going to get an even stupider explanation for the witches all being dead. It's gonna turn out they accidentally killed themselves trying to do something to the Jedi or something like that. And Mae will have been sent by her mother with the spikes.
one of the many problems with the the writing, is that these people think that a 'strong' character mean better, superior, always right, never wrong. and the need to be those things, which is actuall the opposite of a 'strong' character.
I noticed something like that when watching the trailer for that cringe "M Powered" show about all the female characters that were showing up in the MCU. It was all about "seeing powerful women on screen" and things like that. The Captain Marvel movies was marketed as being about the most powerful MCU character. Jodie Turner described her character in the Acolyte as a "powerful leader". It's like they think the power is the point but in reality it's what someone _does_ with their power that matters. I haven't read Superman comics my whole life because he's the most powerful. What makes Superman Superman is his heart.
@@BiggieTrismegistus If you take away all his powers, Superman remains a hero. You take away all the power from Captain Marvel (as those films portray) and all you have is a bully.
“Your enemies will not warn you of an attack!”
We have enemies? We fight these enemies? So WE DO use the Thread as a weapon then! That is something we acknowledge we do!
Maybe the 'stone' the building is made of is bituminous coal. Its like setting an asphalt road on fire.
"The "thread" isn't a power you can wield" then in the exact same scene wields this power...wtf? Was this written in crayon?
The Power of Many is when they blitz-style attack a store in large groups and they grab all they can.
"I give you, you and you give me, me". That's some Two Ronnie's level writing there even though, sadly it's entirely unintentional. "It's goodnight from me..." , "..and it's goodnight from him"
The worst thing I have seen since the Rise of garbage. Why does Disney think this crap is what people want?
Never try to understand idiots 😂
Simple, because they don’t know their fanbase. It’s all woke this and woke that now.
"Luminous being are we, not this crude matter" the single most forgotten line in star wars also happens to be its most important. Sad how no one talk about this. Its the most inclusive thing star wars has said yet disney is too pig headed to use that line to their advantage. We all in the galaxy are the same luminous beings surrounded and binded by the force.
Ah yes. Immaculate Force conception. Lets make the *unique* defining event that shaped the most significant events of the first 40 years of Star Wars something any backwater group of idiots can pull off. Anakin's life defeated a civil war, overthrew a galaxy, wiped out the Jedi, then overthrew the brutal empire he helped establish... and these two arent even a footnote of knowledge to anyone in the future!? Way to make the miracles mundane, Disney... 😑.

Imagine knowing so little about Star Wars and writing that you think "We don't need a man to get pregnant" is a banger, when you can get two billion battle-ready clones for a bargain price two planets over.
Yeah, but the bargain price is because it's a huge batch order with recurring purchases built in. You go there wanting one or two very specific clones made and suddenly the price per unit goes through the roof, even if they're not training or equipping them... I need a lot of mooks alright?
@@Sorain1Price wasn't the argument here. If the tech exists, with which you can fast-grow 2 billion clones and alter their DNA so they age quicker, it would be weird, if your local fertility clinic down the hyperlane isn't able to mix up two womens DNAs and artificially inseminate one of them. Doesn't matter if your local space witch can afford that, making force-babies with a partner isn't really that big of a thing anymore.
Remember!
They're still trying to "Subvert Expectations!"
And failing utterly since they've been doing the exact same thing since 2016 so at this point they're doing exactly what we expect.
It's pretty obvious they were attempting to rip off the Aes Sedai with their linking . But they couldn't even get that right.
That the writers named her OSHA has got to be the clearest example of obliviousness I've ever seen.
It's crazy how this show is making anything else star wars related that Disney has made look amazing.
Yknow it's honestly kinda impressive how every new Marvel and Star Wars show manages to be worse than the previous despite everyone thinking the previous was already terrible. It's like Disney unlocked a bottomless barrel of shit.
It really is quite an achievement isn't it 😂
Fat jedi should be able to use the force to regulate thyroid issues! The EU used to have that anyway.
Why is it that the kids in the Disney Star wars TV shows- Leia and now these twins-- talk and act nothing like an actual humann child?
"Pull da string!" (from 'Glen or Glenda').
'Star Wars' is now an Ed Wood film with a high budget.
If not an Alan Smithee film.
Disney really do be giving it back to the community by burning down their billion dollar company
no one mentions that osha literally did the same to the animal 5 seconds before may did it... force crushing it
"The thread is not a power you wield."
...a few moments later...
"The power of one!..."
Does anyone else think it's ridiculous Disney hired two clearly non-identical sisters to play young Mae and Osha but when they grow up suddenly they are identical and have the same actor play them both?! That's just insane.
“Many Bothans died watching the Acolyte…”
Like a Good neighbor State Farm is there! - Unless of course your home was insured using flame retardant materials like stone and durasteel, but somehow still lights up like a pile of sawdust. You just know State Farm will investigate the crap out of you in that case.
Now hold up if those kids are made by force (I don’t like the sound of that) and so was anakin that would make them siblings
Also, Luke and Leia force Aunties😂😂

In defense of Master Seoul (seems a bit racist...) he may not have become powerful enough to force/thread save any falling victims yet... Show looks incredibly stupid, they're spending a lot of money to make us all bored of Star Wars. I'm sure watching these videos is the better option by far! Thank you.
I laughed about the “ spice cream”, well done
The black mother is the sith and she killed the coven. She controls the evil twin. She controlled her the moment she marked her forehead.
I think they were going for a Cain and Abel vibe. In the Bible Cain and Abel brought their sacrifices/tributes to the altar, but because Cain didn’t bring what God asked for. So because of that Cain got jealous and killed his brother Abel.
Mae (Cain) is mad because her sister Osha (Abel) was shown favor by the Jedi (God) and was pleased with her sacrifice (joining the order) so Mae gets angry with jealousy and tries to kill her sister
As a black man, you pointing out that John Boyega issue hit me really hard. After this shitty episode and for the fact that Disney panders to racism. I am not giving another dime to disney until this changes.
Disney is on some weird shit these days bro lmao
There's an elephant in the room that no one talked about.
Both of the children are too old to integrate the Jedi. So they didn't have a reason to try to convince them, nor to even come there.
+I think this whole "the power of one, the power of two, the power of many" is heavily inspired from the idea of "One becomes two, two becomes three, three becomes everything".
Did anyone read this script? Do they have editors, consultants, anyone who took and english class in college?
200 million! 200 million! I can't believe how poorly this was executed.
Did none of the actors see any of this coming? Everyone making this film had no problems with the dialogue or fractured story?
This is an amazing failure. Only thing to be gained is hopefully disney learned something. But that seems to be asking alot.
this is like the studio notes and the meeting with the studio the Executive Producers should have had about this episode long before the first frame was shot. once upon a time, only someone who was already a massively successful writer/showrunner would have been given such a huge budget and such lack of oversight.
The writers said they have never seen Star Wars. 🤦🏻♀️I am so annoyed with Disney. So glad I canceled my subscription
The miniseries version of The Room.
20:03 I’m shocked the writers knew enough about the lore to know slice means hack in SW. which means yes, the kids are getting drunk on spice cream.
Im calling a few things now:
Knockoff Kylo Ren will be Mother Koril.
She was the one who started the fire, not Mae, though it will still be a mystery how STONE burned faster than most woods do.
Mae is just brainwashed/possessed by Koril.
They will say this incident is why the Jedi don't accept younglings over a certain age.
And possibly the worst one of all:
They will insinuate that Mae becomes the embodiment of the Force and that the original "May the Force be with you" was actually "Mae, the Force, be with you."
“MaE, ThE FoRcE Be WiT U” 💅🏿
I had to watch the Robot Chicken and Family Guy Star Wars episodes while rocking back and forth on the floor in the fetal position just to clean my mind of this garbage that is the Acolyte. The best way to describe this shows writing is #spacefire 🤢🤮
When you think about the crazy acrobatic training Yoda required Luke to go through it actually is quite dumb to see overweight Jedi
"with your permission of course," is classic manipulator behavior. If the Jedi could have killed the witches, permission wouldn't be freely given, would it? But then they could go back later and say "you gave us permission." This is undue influence. Disney gets kind of lost in the sauce here. It seems like they're trying to make the Jedi look bad, but then by "asking permission," they're apparently unwittingly making the Jedi look even worse when they may have been trying to do the opposite?
I can't tell who's supposed to be the good side and the bad side. That wouldn't normally be a problem in realistic media where shades of gray are more like real life, but this is Star Wars. The central theme is the balance of good vs. evil.
Mother anastaya is the masked sith.
She is a force user who already hates jedi before the show, and can use the force in "unnatural" ways.
She preaches about a power of 2 (The Rule of 2), is assumed dead, as was Mae and we know how that worked out.
It also allows the show to have an emotional attachment between the hero and villain, Vader/Luke style.
I hope I'm wrong, but we can't put anything to farfetched or stupid past these writers.
So Disney won't promote certain actors or scenes that might lose them money, but they'll dump millions into a poorly written dumpster fire of a series? How times have changed it used to be that companies were founded to MAKE money!
So, bye-bye,
Drove my Chevy to the levee, but the levee was dry
And them good ol' boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singin', "This'll be the day that Star Wars died
This'll be the day that Star Wars died"
I respect you're able to provide biting and funny commentary without being crass like Drinker and others or having trashy, tabloidesque thumbnails like Nerdrotic
If you think the writers baked in some half cocked contrived writing for the whole "power of one power of two power of many" bs youre giving them W A Y too much credit.
Lmaooooo
Well clearly they bypassed the compressor
None of the Disney Star Wars shows care to use any type of basic logic to form a story.
Here's something they'd write -
A jedi lands on a planet, there's a sith there, they fight and the jedi gets injured. the sith then leaves, and the jedi follows him. now they meet on a different planet and the sith holds a hostage to get away again. the jedi pursues. the sith leads the jedi into a trap and the jedi kills the sith - end of series.
Nothing is connected by reasoning or logic, it's all just stuff they throw out for that specific episode, and they don't care whether it relates. They also hilariously keep forgetting how rocks, caves, stone, space, air, water, etc... how all that works. Set stones on fire, sure. Have a cave that magically teleports people, whatever. Have a ship the size of 3 buildings, but the Jedi camp outside, why not? it's all stupid and no thought.
“Not a power” and then proceeds to sing 🎶 the power of MANYyyy🎵
No No No...I get it now!!! They're trying to mix the Bene Gesserit with a touch of Night Sisters but on the Light Side. Zero originality.
Light side? The only known 'use force to make life' is a darkside power and is basically sith alchemy (that convenient 'does whatever the plot needs' power.)
this show is a damn travesty... W video though
This was fantastic. How many times did you watch it to come up with all of these observations? I'm so sorry you had to endure through it but I guess it was worth it for us. Your analysis is much better to watch than the episode itself. Well done.
Basically only once, but combed through scenes again for some parts
To argue against the reviewer here: It is not *necessarily* a contrivance or coincidence that they 1) have twins and 2) reference "power of 2" in their chant. The chant probably did indeed precede the birth of the twins. But the "twins" may have been the main goal of their cult, long before they were actually conceived.
The only thing I could see happening after this is somewhere it's fleshed out and explained that the coven was actually a Sith dark side focused group. Might save a bit of the credibility of the show
The whole negotiation scene is a posterchild for the idea that a writer can only write someone as smart as they are. An idiot writes a conversation between two idiots who are so idiotic, they think they're being intelectual.
I really enjoyed your review! I love the moments of humor and your voice is really nice to listen to. I hope you do more of these!!
They should've named the evil twin...F.E.M.A.. It kinda rhymes with O.S.H.A.
I just found your channel and I absolutely love your vibe Mr Stark! Helping this SW fan cope during these dark times 🥲
Every time they use the force I swear I think of the airbender- I mean they do the exact movement
>"Your enemies will not warn you before they attack!!"
>"Attack me... with all your strength"
I guess she didn't learn the lesson there.
Thr "Force" is like a religion and people have different interpretations of religion, so calling the force a thread isn't really the problem. The real problem is as you said, theor hypocrisy
you can tell they're all on spice cause of the way they act... the overall blandness is depressing. Remember when George was directing and he kept saying to his actors, "faster & more intense!" that was a long time ago unfortunately, in a galaxy far far away
I fear, we will see even more such crap at least from Dismay.
dude i can’t believe you only have 5k subs! This is one of the best star wars vids i’ve watched in a while and gave me a great laugh, thank you! 😂
Thanks!! The new episode review is out as well so give it a watch if you want. Appreciate the love here!
Surprised the kids didn't just ask for Death Sticks
The series doesn't happen at the height of high Republic but at the end of the high Republic.
The height of the republic - the high republic, semantics. Thanks
The force is magic essentially, hard to study. Hard to pin point how/why it works. It does make sense that independent cultures would have different ways of explaining the same thing. That’s how life was before counties began talking and trading with each other. We can disregard their statement as their interpretation with them lacking any better knowledge
I feel like the writers played Baulders Gate 3 and said, "Wow! The weave is super cool! Let's put it in Star Wars!"
Plagus, palpatine, nobody could create force sensitive children but these two idiots created two of them a hundred years before actual Star Wars.
