In today's video I break down and review the full episode 5 from Disney Plus Star Wars 'The Acolyte.' Enjoy. I suffered for your entertainment.
THE BLAMING OF ONE...
THE BLAMING OF TWO...
THE BLAMING OF MANYYY...
It turns out the power of one is way better than the power of many XD
If only kylo ren was like this sith
Glad I'm not the only one who loves the Sith from this show
@@Infrared-nyne- Leslye Headland thinks the Sith are the bestest ever…so no surprise there!
What a surprise, a modern star wars writer is able to relate the most with an egotistical murderer. Though after seeing the interview she did alongside Amandla Stenberg, it only makes too much sense.
@@PaulusAloneThey are. Jedi suck.
@@ThespianPrince13 - That’s the trending modern era take from a generation of EMO Edgelords! 😂
the supposed villain cannot use the force again until the COOLDOWN is over, villain got nerfed
Gotta upgrade his skill tree smh
@@Stark-CinemaEdgelords are white men. Asian men are called Neets
@Stark-Cinema is this all you do?
@@Stark-CinemaGod this comment cracked me up 😂😂
@@beelee6025 Huh?
Love that Smilo Ren, as a name, is now canon.
That and Darth Teeth
@@celem12 Don’t forget Darth Bortles!
How is it canon?
@@Infrared-nyne It just is fam. Wookiepedia about to change his name to Smilo Ren any day now!
Smylo Ren - as in Kylo Ren. But yeah everything sucks and we wait in abject terror for episodes 6 to 8.
Personally I DO hope there's a second season. Just like Amazon doubled down with Rings of Power ( a $100 million investment), Disney needs to learn their lesson the hard way...
Thank you. I'm absolutely positive I'm getting the better experience from watching these reviews, rather than the actual show.
How when Tenebris and Plagus were alive at this time how didn’t they sense Smilo Ren immediately.
They killed off every single Jedi who was in the main cast except the main one. I can’t even remember names at this point and I’m like “now there is barely any cast?!” And I was like “oh they killed that Jedi that I don’t even know their name” how can I form a bond to them if they don’t have a personality…..I had zero bond to these people.
Don't worry, it was all in their heads and the dust made it worse. They'll all be back alive in the next non flashback episode.
why didn't Master Jedis from everywhere feel a disturbance in the force with Jedi being killed ...because remember The Force binds us it Connects us all everywhere
Mr Stark...i got a bad feeling about this...
Cortosis ore was a very rare, brittle, fibrous material, the conductive properties of which would cause lightsabers to temporarily short out upon contact and has been brought into canon. What erks me with this episode is how useless the Jedi Masters are in combat, and how a padawan fights better than all the masters that die. The writers and directors definately don't understand power scaling.
I would've liked them making the sith more methodical and sadistic where the padawan struggled even to match blows flinching from his strength making him laugh, maybe even put a hand behind his back to taunt her effortlessly blocking what she can do playing with his food giving time for the master to return instead, of course, making the female padawan somehow be able to hold her own like a master can. Even threw away the guy who had the upperhand coming to ambush him because he was male. Really makes all of them seem so incompetent
When Jar Jar's stupidity isn't killing people, his luck does help others. That makes him more useful than the protagonist of this show and anyone else.
Also the choreography of the fights does not hide the fact that those Jedi were asking to be killed. There many opportunities for them to deal some serious blows to the totally not a Sith dude, yet they were either doing nothing when they had an opening, or charged in without a single thought.
If Jar Jar was there with a baseball bat probably would have defeated the bootleg Kylo Ren in two minutes due to some weird circumstances.
Facts have been spoken ^
🥂😂
Funny thing… Jar Jar in The Clone Wars was ACTUALLY HELPFUL. There are a few episodes in the series where he actually saves the day and proves his worth. It’s one of the reasons why I love that series so much.
I would prefer darth jar jar to be a thing rather than anything Disney has done till now, and I'm not joking at all.
What uzza talkin bout? Mezza a Sith Lord. - Jar Jar.
Jar Jar was a Sith Lord ! He was hiding in plain sight.
This show is making the Ewok cartoon look hardcore
Ikr I think I might have to watch Cavern of Courage again 😅
That brings me back. Loved those two shows .
Dude you have the best recaps on YT. I saw one episode and have been binge watching your channel for about five hours now....your style and commentary sets you apart from the rest. You'll be over a million subs in no time.
Dropkick Jeckie should've pulled her lightsaber immediately when she faced Mae.
Mae has murdered 2 Jedi Masters, Jeckie doesn't know whether she's armed or not. Police don't not pull their gun on murderers when arresting them because they might not look armed.
This could also be true but she’s a dumb padawan I guess, in an even dumber show lmao funny comment though 😂🥂
Looks like Jeckie hit his helmet with her hilt twice, which supports the brittle nature of the metal that shorts out lightsabers, iirc.
Surprising myself and actually defending the show, but having the siths armor be made with Cortosis is kinda sweet
lord teneborus have his mines ...and him and his former master had lot of it after teneberous found new apprentice but qmir don't trust him. I really don't know what happen in qmir backstory with his master and other acolyte that teneberous found that both apprentice know rule of 2 ...and only one is choosing. Its why qmir want his master see the truth he does not trust plagueis ..
The fight choreography of this episode was one of the greatest, we've seen in SW. The 1v6 type of fights rarely work in any movie hence why they used the trees as coverage. Twirling around with a sword was also done realistically in this fight. This is also thaught in fencing. It allows a swordsman to change his stance and tactics whilst staying in motion. It can confuse your opponent and increase the speed of your strikes. Jecki reminded me of Anakin. The hot headed Padawan ready to jump into battle. The twirling is an aggresive tactic which causes higher risk but also higher reward which fits her rage, we saw on screen. I loved the choreography of this episode and despite the criticism, a lot of other duels in SW wouldn't hold up under scrutiny especially if they're compared to this. I'm sure that if this was released for the Ahsokha show, most fans would claim these are one of the best if not, the best fight scenes in SW history. I think that expecting realism and non-goofy lines from SW is unrealistic since SW and Lucas have always incorporated such elements into the movies. And there are many examples even in fights scenes where realism is non-existent i.e. Vader slamming his lightsaber against a metal pole vs Luke. The writing however is horrible and so is the opportunity for fans to connect with the main characters. Somehow movies like Rogue One were able to do that and with the Acolyte it feels like they mean nothing.
The fight scene was alright but it didn’t make me go “holy shit!” Like fight scenes in something like marvels daredevil would
@@Stark-Cinema Yup especially considering other lightsaber duels like the one on Mustafar, the one in the Phantom Menace and Luke vs Vader. Daredevil has better fight scenes, a lot of Asian movies have better fight scenes but I did enjoy the hand-to-hand combat of this episode but you're right, there's much better fight scenes out there. Only when Jecki attacked Qimir I thought it was phenomenal but that's probably because most people like sped up scenes in a fictional world.
i havent seen the ep but multiple people falling into dust will probably mean that some things witnessed by those characters will be hallucinations. next ep will be showing what actually happened lol
16:39 He was speaking figuratively. Smilo Ren implied that Sol hid his "true face" from his padawan by obfuscating what happened in Brendok.
26:44 Cortosis is brittle. It's only good against energy-based weapons.
35:08 I got the impression that the saber lights weren't bright enough to activate the bugs, just make them irritable. The flashlight was clearly much brighter.
That helmet and arm armor is made from Cordosis metal it was in Star Wars Legends and in Star Wars Canon in Thrawn first book Where he was with Anakin on mision during clone wars. And in Vader comic during Imperium.
27:52 they did the most obvious thing because they thought how I used to think as a child the the most obvious thing is too obvious for people to think of.
hate to break it to you, but that's how the actual world works apparently.
Case in point: the pandemic.
If padawans could fight like that.. anakin would never have been able to mow them down like he did
it actually would've been dope to play up the bugs during the saber fights. Qimir could've used it as a tactic. Engage then turn off his saber and let the bugs snatch up jedi into the night.
Good. Subverting expectations is stupid.
What I meant is that it didn't subvert expectations with the plot and how dumb it is again lmaoo
I really hope we get at least 2 more flashbacks episodes one to show why smilo ren is evil and not just because he wants to be it would be so funny though because of how the last flashback episode went.
Re-edited. corrected a "flaw".
I don't think many are gonna look too much at slight inconsistencies. On the whole, was not looking for intellectual drama, only escapist fun. Here's what i would do with inconsistencies-
In earlier timeline, Sol stops & pauses, then looks at osha. Osha instinctively asks what's wrong. Sol replies, saying he can't empathically sense any thoughts or feelings from her. But strangely could when younger.
Sol privately wonders if now older Osha has developed a more "mature" barrier against him. In his experience, it's not the first time this has happened & suspects it won't be the last either.
During the battle with the "adversary" in helmet, Sol ponders on whether Mae has this same innate ability to block his senses of her. As the battle begins, sol looks for Osha & is concerned that Mae might use this time to get to Osha, use her as a hostage to flee from here. Or worse, persuade her to follow her. Sol calls out to her. He quickly looks back & sees 2 Jedi fall. He Quickly stops calling for her. Putting his fellow Jedi first, he rushes towards the fray.
The Sith expertly draws them further away from Sol, widening the distance between him & the skirmish. By now, The last of the day's sun leaves the horizon & as "darkness" envelops all, a palpable feeling of fear seems to "preternaturally" radiate out towards Sol & jedi in waves. As if the darkness itself was strengthening this strange sith. In each jedi mind, their training against fear & mind manipulation takes over. They whisper their taught mantras against this attack.
"Fear is the killer of thought & strategy. I shall not fear, for the force is my strength & guide"
One of the jedi falters & literally, he begins to shake, then go "rigid" as uncontrollable fear literally freezes his actions. The others ignore this, but "position" themselves between the victim & sith. Light flashes from their sabers, then coruscate as theirs clashes with the sith. The sith attempts to reach the frozen victim, but now sol enters the fray. As he does so, the Sith "smiles", & as he smiles, a sound of cracking branches & heavy breathing, faint at first emanates mere inches away from Sol. Sol's actual feeling of fear this time feels it's "a warning" to turn around. He quickly whirls around, while the other 2 confronts the Sith. Sol gasps !! Surprise & shock sets in momentarily as the force "manifests" an "ethereal" Sith, garbed in ancient old republic era. An ancient sith ghost conjured by this sith ??? Sol always theorised that if the jedi could call on the dead, then maybe the sith could as well?? But an incorporeal capable of fighting them ? Sol sees the ghost is unarmed, but nevertheless strikes diagonally down at it !!... ....Nothing happened ?? Sol strikes again ! Again the light saber passes harmlessly through this ghost.
The ghost looks to the Sith, as if waiting for instructions. While the sith feverishly battled on, the sith stole a moment to quickly glance at the ghost, then towards the frozen victim. The ghost sith understood, then moved straight through Sol, then "thrust" his hand deep into the chest of the frozen victim. A silent scream flashed across the face of the victim as his heart is violently squeezed. Blood trickles from victim's mouth as he gasps his last breath !
By now, Jeck Lon has eventually overpowered & handcuffed Mae, but hearing the ongoing battle feels she might be needed. Sol, seeing Yord & remaining knights are still alive orders them to attack sith while he confronts the apparition. Sol uses the force to "push" the ghost away from battle. Then he closes his eyes & concentrates, trying to telekinetically "rend to shreds" the apparition. The ghost "falters & wails" momentarily, then "re-coalesces" & laughs !!
One by one the ghost focuses on each jedi, deliberately leaving Sol to the sith, quickly moving "through" sol & thrusting his hand over each victim's heart. Yord valiantly fights on as Sol continuously tries using the force to push away and rend the ghost. By now, sol is weakening. Just as Yord gains the upper hand, the ghost snatches at yord's heart. Yord grimaces in sheer pain & looks at helpless Sol, whose face by now is contorted with emotional frustration & helplessness !! The sith hovers over yord & laughs. The sith quickly raises his saber & cuts off the arm of yord whose still alive. Sol lunges at sith while his friend agonisingly dies. Just then, the full moon" comes out from beneath the clouds & bathes the apparition in white light. The ghost howls & fades to nothing. Now the battle is even !! But sith manages to cut Sol's saber, disabling it. Sol, now defenceless backs away. Osha, who watches on helplessly now has an idea. She charges her stun gun to overload & uses it as an EMP bomb. Sith's saber dies out. Quickly, osha attaches 2 found light sabers to the side of her "floating bot" companion, then orders it to sol. With sabers on outer side of bot means sith cannot see them. The sith senses the danger & sends out a force grip towards the bot flying towards sol. But the bots "slippery" suspensor fields causes sith to loose grip. However, "one" of those sabers, partly caught by force grip drops to floor. Sith sees it & force pulls it successfully to himself as Sol grabs the other. By now, Jecki Lon has arrived at the scene. Sol, still unsure of his odds sees Lon is way too inexperienced & quickly orders her to escort osha back to the ship & leave !!
Just as lon escorts osha away, she notices a glint of shiny metal reflecting the moon's light in the dirt ground, strangely drawn to it, she realises one of those in battle had dropped it ?? She picks it up & as she does so, an enchanting "whisper", only she can hear, whispers into her mind. Sol Shouts at her again, shaking her loose of this whispering. With senses regained, she beckons osha to follow her. As they pass through area where creatures are, osha says she has an idea. She quickly orders her "hovering/flying" droid to "light up". The creatures above "shriek" then dive to her. Osha "holds onto" flying droid tightly then orders it to fly as fast as possible to sol ! Lon screams at her, but can do little. The little droid dodges between ever thickening clots of tree trunks & branches as creatures gets nearer & nearer. Osha screams as teeth bites into her leg. She desperately tries to kick it off & orders bot to fly faster. Another bites into her arm, but bot zaps it with an extending probe. Osha can feel the poison sinking into her & begins to loose grip. At that precise moment, the bot arrives, just as sol is losing ground. As Osha loses consciousness she orders bot to fly & attach to the back of sith, then slips from the bot to the ground at high speed ! The bot, travelling at high speed, slams into back of sith, sending him forward to the ground. The creatures race in & engulf both !! The bot switches off it's lights as many sink teeth & poison claw into sith. The sith manages to kill a few, but more engulf him, carrying his fighting body away. Sol, caught by the impact of both is also sent flying, but now unconscious !!
Delirious with poison, osha gets up & walks aimlessly into the forest. It's then mae finds her. Not knowing if the sith is still alive & sensing her sister might not make it, she decides to take her place. Dowsing the "front" of her hair in wet, stench bog", she then uses the saber to cut off that part. The muck/slime & stench masks any possibility of saber burn smells. She remembers her tattoo on forehead & promptly uses found saber to burn off tattoo.
definitely best lightsaber fighting disney has put out but i rlly dont understand how they barely use the force in situations where it wouldve been very useful
but like you said i guess all other movies r kinda like that
“My brain is broken” 😂😂😂 that’s a pretty accurate description of trying to understand this nonsense
every time I watch some disney crap lightsaber fight, I gotta go back and watch the Phantom Menace duel to remember what Star Wars was all about
Why didn't the bugs attack when all of those lightsabers were ignited?
Yall will never understand how peaceful life is when you just watch shows and find things you like about them. The hate for this episode is crazy because that ahit was fire asf. Sure it had some points that didnt make total logical sense but its a fucking show it doesnt affect your life in any tangible way
30: 13
Or, they all die and the Jedi Council never hear a word about the red-saber wielding maniac. Ki-Adi-Mundi didn’t see the Sith; he saw some asshole fighting in a tavern
I can see how easily people can be pleased by lightsabers and pew pew. Sure, this episode had some decent action but that doesn't take away the horrendous writing surrounding it. The same people that hated Andor love this crap.
Some people are so mad at me for whining about this shit and I wonder if they even understand the value or logical analysis and quality of story telling to any degree
The horned girl was the best thing from this episode and they killed her off.
The bugs picking up Darth Smilesalot,remined of the creatures from Pitch Black picking up Carolyn😂
Disney's new plan. Make shows so bad that everyone watches just to see how bad it can get. A train wreck in super slo mo
They should of just made the show about Plagueis. Also anyone who uses the dark side is a Sith, even if he/she has a rainbow lightsaber.
Subverting NO expectations is a good thing.
Remember game of thrones and the last jedi? Sometimes, we are better of without stupid twists.
It’s not a GOOD thing always, that’s a blanket statement. You have to not think in black and white. There are many shades in between.
I honestly thought Osha would say "they were attracted to the light" here 34:58, you know "target audience".
I've seen a lot of people knocking the first fight and the unexplained material that can short out sabers. For the first, I think it was pretty good...he goes after the lady instead of the guy in front of him because he shorted her saber first and knows how the material works, that was pretty good choreography for Disney. As for the material itself, that IS good storytelling...do not tell what it is so it DOES confuse the viewer and explain it later. Now will that be done? Doubtful, but right now? It is a good thing imo
As for a padawan doing what Knights could not do...the ranks do not signify talent in the force, just teaching and technique. Remember these Jedi have never used saber vs another saber and she might have gotten angry because she is young and not as stoic allowing her to hold her own. That helmet is great for lightsabers but very brittle why she would know that? Don't know but nice they showed it
Anyway, had some good beats but still a bad show
Wait until the Sith Lord turns out to be a Trans Sith Lord, once one of the witches. What is disrespectful is that the Sith’s dialogue is actually Headland speaking to her parents. 180 million dollar therapy session. Mae is a coward, she switches to whatever side she thinks is going to win.
Please keep reviewing. This is the only way I'll watch any part of the show is through your videos
So after the slaughter of so many jedi at the hands of this force user and his game changing helmet, Master Sol just leaves the scene.
No care for the bodies of the jedi, their lightsabers, or even this OP cortosis helmet.
Literally, the game-changing mind-blocking super helmet is left behind.
If there was one thing that needed to get back to the high council to be seen, it might have been the helmet.
There are no words for this level of writing.
Jecki Chan with the drop kick😂
Qimir got Antman'd
Who is qimir is it smilo ren
@@PersonallyPerhaps yes
@@michaeldamico3000I never remember his name just the nicknames.😂
So next episode will be a flashback about what the Jedi did to the witches I guess
mate , im from Glasgow and im pissing myself, yer chats awesome, keep up the sporting commentary - I'm in tears. kudos! ten out of ten. lol this is great crack mate!
I heard the helmet saber-zapping thing was an actual reference to a metal mentioned in a comic or something like that.
Also, why the jedi sucked was due to the lack of real...opponents...in lightsaber combat and instead was, like Fezzik, specialized in groups.
But, yeah, the writing is still shite
Cortosis is the material I think
@@Stark-Cinema Yes. That's correct (I looked it up)
Wow. Good fights in this one 😳
Sol cant FEEL that Mae isn't his former padawan???? Ughhhhhhh. The writting is atrocious.
I will point out that scientists just figured out that bugs aren't actually attracted to light. They simply orient themselves by keeping their backs to the light. Works pretty well with sun or moon light being so far away, but it causes them to just orbit around lightbulbs. Very sad. I guess the bugs long, long ago hadn't realized this yet
31:00 He already was free??? He could use his power without hurting anyone and he would be good to go.
Smilo Ren is obviously a son of Sol.
The red dust clouds with no pay-off were the hint that cortosis is involved. Theres puffs of red when his armour is hit.
It would've worked better if they did explain cortosis in the show though.
That power of many song is so freakin annoying
Lesbian space witches on the bingo card
One of the most interesting things about your commentary is that, unlike conservative viewers who lose their minds from the beginning because of the show's ideology, you were able to focus entirely on describing how simply stupid this show is.
The Sith dude not being able to reach the torch that she stuck to his back is just....nah!
He coulda/shoulda just used his light-sabre and cut it off, in the same way Mae used a light-sabre to immaculately restyle her hair...
Not that this is one of the more major flaws, due to bad writing, in The Acolyte. The Acolyte has to be one of the stupidest worst written, both in characters and storylines, characters dialogue and motivations etc..
But if you point out how bad it is then they, the producers and writers, call you toxic, which is kinda ironic considering they're the one's who "love nothing more than to make men feel uncomfortable".
If they made a good well written show nobody would give 2 hoots that it was "the gayest Star Wars ever" and very few people would mention that it was DEI/Woke. It's starting to feel like they're making shite DEI shows on-purpose in order to stir up their agenda politics... With all the money that went into The Acolyte how hard would it have been to get a really good writer, great director etc. and produce a great show that fans would've loved? Star Wars fans actually aren't that fussy, it's only when they completely butcher the franchise and the characters within the Star Wars universe that the fans Strike Back (see what I did there😀).
Somwhow Koril returned
Best episode so far in the show, i know it isnt much, but hey. Usually there was just dumb shit in the show, but in this one there were some cool moments as well
Don't give up, the only fun way to see this garbage is here. I have a question: when Mae is holding Jeki, with a knife in front of her neck, and the Padawan, in order to headbutt the bad twin, moves her head forward to gain strength, doesn't she nail the knife herself? Thank you for the good and sacrificial work.
24:15 Sir Digby Chicken Caesar 🤣🤣
42:22 and only Osha has an arm tattoo.
Bug Light.
Have a good week, Tony
How?! If that helmet blocks mindreading, how on earth Smylo can get in the opponents head?
NANOTECH
Idk… lmao it’s all wack
She really shouldn't be playing with that thing... almost cut her own whole face off.
I bet you Sol is his father or late mentor or some obvious shit.
I bet they thought Jakie isn't trained fully she isn't rigid to form like the other Jedi.
I can't see a fight in the dark...
It's not the "Duel of fates" match up they said it would be but I will give it to them it's better than previous Disney lightsabre fighters.
Not sure if that's something for them to be happy about though, it's an incredibly low bar.
Ive not watched the show and i dont care BUT a better writer could have made this interesting if the final reveal was smilo ren is actually the acolyte and squid game is actually the sith master
5:35 😄
Wait did he block that one blue saber with his bare arm before head butting the other one off?
It was a piece of armor and it broke
@@Stark-Cinema ah ok, thanks
Build up? From these writers? Cmon now.
Is it okay to use this for a video I'm making about Star Wars? I want to put this at the end with a sequence of moments from the original movie, and iconic moments from the fandom back in the day. :)
Yes of course!
@@Stark-Cinema Okay, this is emberassing, and I don't know how youtube did it, but I actually meant to leave that on a music track I was listening to. The one at the end of Return of the Jedi (special editions), that someone did a cover of. Although, I think it would be fun to start the video with snippets from Acolyte reviews, as it kind of ties into the main idea I had for it. If that's still cool with you of course. Sorry if this is confusing. I don't know how youtube linked the comment back to your video, but I love the content. XD Your voice reminds me of Carth Onasi from the old KOTOR games, and something about the idea of Carth Onasi reviewing the Acolyte is so charming in my mind. Keep up the great work. :D
Edge Lord 😂
3 more to go... three more to go!
I wonder what they will F up next.
And don't worry all those Jedi will be fine and safe. Some Bacta Gell does wonders!
to say the least this show is throwing me off😂😂😂
but i gotta believe they gone show us something that master squid game is hiding , but it’ll prolly be something absolutely ridiculous that’s soo egregious
Star Wars on Temu
SMILE-O-REN took off his/her/they/it mask and revealed............

...that the real sith was all the diverse strong lesbian witches we made along the way"....
Civilian is a derogitory term, shame on you Disney
hehehe
No ads? I got like 6 commercial breaks.
I got LUCKY I guess lmao
People will be confused why is helmet is short-circuiting light sabers? Since when does a show need to explain everything the moment its introduced? What happened to trying to find answers and piece things together? What happened to just waiting to the next episode to explain things? This senseless hate is ridiculous. At this point, some of you are just trafficking in hate. The show has a lot of issues, but this senseless criticism is just sad.
This is the stupidest comment I’ve read all day. Of course people with no outside knowledge will be confused it’s dead fucking obvious my guy 😂
There's a difference between confusion and intrigue. Would u like them to stop in the middle of the fight with a massive lore dump about his helmet? How many shows or movies do you watch where everything is explained the moment something contentious happens? Your hate for that moment has no basis in reality. But good for you to try to get clicks with your senseless hate. I'm sure there's a lot of gullible ppl who love this.
She used the hilt of the saber to break the helmet
Good video, nice takes
Rian Johnson’s trilogy seem doable at this point. 🫣
Ah yes the one that’s definitely happening but not happening at all somehow lmao but it would be better than this!
Stark-cinema- at this point your asking the wrong question. Better, has nothing to do with this.
I love that you started reviewing this series with a pretty neutral, almost optimistic attitude, and the awfulness of the show has just worn you down.
@@8Smoker8 the show is terrible. I was very excited for it, and just was thoroughly disappointed. Im not gonna be dramatic and say that it killed Star wars, but it's a bad show in many ways. I just started following this guy, and went back and watched all of his reviews on the acolyte.
Never thought I'd see a Sith Lord carried off by giant wood lice...😅
We never thought we would see many things we have been seeing in star wars sadly.
lol, that really is nothing to complain about. We are talking about a galaxy as big as the milky way. But of course star wars makes every planet seem like its just a few miles down the road. My question is how fast is hyperspace ? It would be nice to see a star wars tail about a trek journey across the universe rather then popping up at a planet within 5 minutes.
@@anthonygordon9483 I guess my question is, why couldn't he use Force push on the bugs? He can use it on multiple Jedi.
@@fionnaitsradag5152 The bugs were coming at him at all directions. Jedis can be distracted. For example a enterage of laser bullets to block. My point is that there is far more worse things on the show to complain about then that. Jedis can be distracted. The show proved that by having Mai kill the first jedi by distracting her. And I think that is a play on how much a jedi can block lasers. They can only concentrate on so much before you have a opening to kill them unguarded. Another better question would be why didnt the bugs attack all the jedis and sith when their light sabers were glowing. For the fact that they were fighting with light sabers should of attracted the bugs on everyone.
"Two Jedi takes some ED pills and their sabers go up again." You're bad 🤣🤣🤣 5:15
I know throwing a lightsaber LOOKS cool, but damn that’s gotta be the stupidest thing you can do. Even if you can control it with “the Force” - what’s to stop a Jedi from slicing it in half with a well timed strike? Or grabbing it, if they’re skilled enough. Then who’s laughing, Smylo?😂
or force pushing it back at you. then you have a force saber yo-yo going back and forth
It works against non-forceusers fine. Against force users you really should be wary about those things. Especially if there are more than one.
By that logic you're also criticizing Darth Vader as that is a move he definitely uses. If you wanna go down that route then Vader also uses "stupid tactics"
There was this cool variant in Jedi Academy with the 2 saber style: bladelock with one blade and forcemaneuver the other in an arc to slash the opponent across the back
Or, because of game physics, it gets stuck behind a pillar while you’re getting shot at!
Are Jedi's power rangers, why aren't they "allowed" to escalate? You think a cop won't pull a gun on a violent criminial because the criminial doesn't have a gun, so now they have to win in a one on one fist fight. Thats a silly rule.
Use of force model, cops do not escalate. Which is pointless in this as even without a light saber a Jedi/sith is not unarmed.....they literally trained to use unarmed fighting
It is complete nonsense and a complete lack of knowledge of the lore, the Jedi used deathly force endlessly throughout the franchise, the Jedi are not even close to anything related to our reality, they are not cops.
The red dust, is actually Uhhhh spice and they all got high and imagined all that the whole episode never happened or something idk lol
Either he's the most powerful Sith, or the Jedi were merely like parking-ticket enforcers.
I think they were patting each other backs because “we foreshadowed all of it, we are so smart”.
Well, CW SW it is
My theory is Mae succeeds in killing a Jedi unarmed and Squid game never informs the Jedi. Therefore Master Forehead never finds out about the Sith underbite. And I believe she succeeds not by killing him but getting him to give up being a Jedi. I think the four Jedi actually killed all the witches and Mae knows this. So she’ll guilt trip him into giving up. Hopefully they don’t overdo it and have Squid convert to the dark side as that would be too unbelievable. I’m sure they would not allow such bad writing on a multi million dollar show.
Wow you got this review up FAST! Good stuff, thank you. Also I love your wardrobe, that black jacket is slick.
That being said, I do have to disagree about Jecki - you said they should’ve built it up, I think this show did WAY too much telegraphing of everything else, lol. So it was the only truly pleasant surprise of the episode to see her turn out to be a total bad ass! 😂
Cheers!
weirdly enough I found stuff to enjoy in this episode even though it still clocked at least 3 unintentional laugh out loud moments. the fight choreography is solid and several of the better characters got screentime. kind of a bummer that mae and osha are still the weakest link, both in terms of storytelling and acting.
Osha is going to go to the Disney-Darkside and kill Squidgame without a weapon when she finds out what really happened on the magic burning mountain.🤔
I was thinking that as well and Mea is going to save her by finishing the ceremony on OSHA but most likely we will never know cause season 2 was cancelled and the sets have been taken down or cannibalized for other projects
While I pray it is, I don’t believe Season 2 is officially out of the realm of possibility. I feel like everyone read that one article and the story has slowly morphed into this…
I like this sith more than kylo
