Not to mention that Mae is being totally disingenuous; any rational person would've taken out her mother. The mother was an idiot going into hostile witch mode in front of two armed Jedi, with no way to know her true intentions.
Ah that is not a story the Jedi would tell you. Or even the Sith! It is a fever dream of a legend one dreamt up with after watching a movie called twilight…
Well.. he wasnt very wise to show up and show his ugly face in the show. So "wise" that he couldn't use the force to influence the midichlorians to save him.
It's cause it's not their product, they bought it from somebody else for the sole purpose to make money from it and they went out of their way to ignore everything George Lucas said despite him being a consultant.
I can imagine Plagueis telling his master, “I’ve found a coven of witches and I’ve been fucking with them!” “I made them have twins and they think they did it!” “I also controlled their weak minds and made them sing this dumbass chant. They sing it all the time!” 🤣
Bringing in Pelagius, bringing in Night Sisters, bringing in Palpatine, and saying it all originates from THEIR story is a crutch seen in new writers (usually in fanfiction) because they want to be grandfathered into importance rather than actually writing something important.
What sucks is the main story--the Jedi massacre during what is ostensibly a wellness/welfare check on the two girls and the subsequent cover-up--was a strong enough hook for the series without having to rely on people turning to and from the darkside or the girls being created by the force or any of that. The outing of a pocket of corruption in the Jedi order during the High Republic could easily keep a series running for a number of seasons, but they either wanted to be or were forced to be a cog in the franchise.
@@chopthatpanda Why waste time writing an original, powerful addition to the lore when you can just claim that you're more powerful/important than an established, renowned powerful character?
You cracked the code! To get hired at D*sney, you just need to write trashy, stream-of-conscious, self insert fanfics. Preferably while drunk or high AF.
Just a way to keep original fans invested so that they will at least be interested, and promote it online, or say they're interested on their social media platform, while the writers will still being able to add all their other bullshit no one asked for.
"Stupid cow, you are, force-bitchslap you, I must, maybe enjoy this, I will, for as long as neccessary, I can do this all day!" - Master Yoda, the Partypooper
Everytime people reference Yoda it pisses me off cause Mace WIndu said "Nothing gets approved without the Jedi counsel".... SO WHERE THE HELL IS THE COUNSEL AND WHERE THE HELL IS YODA!!!! The greatest wisest jedi is pretty much a janitor
So the Jedi are the bad guys and the Sith are the good guys. Sorry but that’s going too far leslye. Just because the Jedi are flawed doesn’t mean the Sith don’t frequently commit atrocities for their own gain.
Quimir literally killed like 14 people in this show, one of them being teenager/child. Two of them are Oshas friends. Then three episodes later she's literally holding hands with the dude that killed her friends. This show is trash.
@@wolfsbane9985 That's the level of maturity and intelligence with which this show is written. "Hey, Osha, what about those people your boyfriend killed?' "What people?"
No one understood the Force according to George Lucas... the "dark side" is a far more subtle fall to corruption and darkness, but it is not necessarily all out evil.
Its insane how kotor 2 came out 20 years ago was half assly put together in such a short time frame but is the ultimate star wars story on morality that hasn't been topped in live action and that story knows more about the brand then anything disney has put out the entire time they've owned star wars. We've regressed to the dinosaur age in terms of writing and directing every lead character is some girl now we are less diverse than ever, no aliens we only get aliens in this show because its trying to be the prequels like what the hell has happened to this brand I miss the days of being excited for 1313, when star wars had real edge and writing talent behind it that could tell relevant stories of morality without completely breaking my immersion.
I’m really hoping they don’t do KOTOR. It’s sad that we’re at a point with an IP that we DON’T want them to include iconic stories / characters because of their shown inability to portray its themes.
Well, it was written by Chris Avellone who was fire itself as a writer in his younger years. Dude wrote Kotor 2, and Planescape Torment in his late twenties/early thirties.
Bruh Force Unleashed has a better story an that’s like 16 years old. Sure it might not be cannon for some. But still it’s stays within the lore and has interesting characters with arcs
@zeppelin4790 but how old are the characters supposed to be? Definitely not 25 although I'm near 30 and I still get carded as if I'm under 21 some times. But still. The age of he actress doesn't determine the age of the character.
Idk why he didn’t do movie/live action tv show wise - like he did with the books and games and animated tv shows ie robot chicken/clone wars/ family guy-and let other creators just do what they want and he’s just the lore bible guy ugh I’m sure he would have made 4 billion that way by now too. Ugh Hell I bet he would have gotten better directors for his own sequel trilogy that way.
It makes no sense that Vernestra would accuse Sol of going rogue. The senator's entire concern with the Jedi is that a Jedi would turn bad and kill a bunch of people. So if she's trying to protect the Jedi, it would be in her best interest to blame it on an outsider, such as a sith Lord, or a ninja assassin. She's covering up what happened and hiding evidence of the sith solely to make it try to fit within Canon???? The only possible explanation would be that vernestra is a secret sith and she's hiding the truth to protect the sith not the Jedi.
Yep her cover up makes no sense as doubling down and blaming Mae, to make a point about how Jedi are needed, since the dark side is what untrained force wielders lean towards would have fit her agenda better.
Absolutely, after this revelation, the senate (or rather the oversight-faction) would be all over the Jedi - and with good arguments, too. Also, wouldn't it be super easy to prove that it couldn't have been Sol who killed all the witches (alone) because they came back as a squad of 4 Jedi; and Sol wasn't even their leader? Are there investigative journalists in Star Wars?
In the comics MADE BY DISNEY a newly formed vader struggled to turn his Saber red and it nearly turned him back to the light Osha able to do it so simply just shows how they don't bother to research their own Canon
Dude her acting is just atrocious. It's like they told her this was an emotional story and she just decided to overact everything since she was acting half the time to herself anyway -_-
It's crazy how some actors can really make 2 characters come to live in such unique ways. They can immediately make it obvious who is who simply by changing small mannerisms and facial expressions. This can make people quickly relate to the characters and makes it much easier to identify who is who. This actor didn't do any of this, just 2 twins running around like headless chickens doing stuff for no reason.
The writers clearly don't know how a cover-up works. If you're trying to protect your organisation from scrutiny, you don't blame one of your own for murders committed by an outsider. That defeats the whole point. 😂
Not to defend the show, but I think it's more like green bald lady was trying to cover for herself. To blame everything on Sol to hide the fact that HER apprentice killed everyone, including Sol. She cares about herself, not the jedi.
@@wolfsbane9985 In that case, why not just blame it on some random force user. Now the senate is going to look closer and Quimor is still out there potentially exposing her lies. And Basil knows Sol didn't kill the other Jedi he saw Quimir. There's also the fact that she had no idea Quimir might be involved until the last episode when she suddenly decided to pin it all on Sol. Yet another example of last minute decision with poor motivation. It's just so unnecessarily convoluted like every other part of the show.
@@wolfsbane9985 Hence why you double down on Mae is the culprit, since its counters the Senator's point by showing what happens if Jedi don't train powerful younglings.
When OJ said "Let me tell you how we met", I just burst out laughing. Bless him for making jokes about the show. I'm sure it makes it much easier for the other guys to sit through this slop.
wtf does that even mean "they're the same person"? they have two separate bodies, they have two different personalities, they have different motivations and react differently to things. They're two different people.
Mean nothing other than to sound like very deep concept. Pretty much what Hollywood being doing these few years. Beautiful and deep words with no actual meaning.
Did anyone else think that the whole "killing a Jedi without using a weapon" was going to be something like Osha turned to the dark side and away from the light, thus "killing" the Jedi without a weapon?
I thought that 100% that killing a jedi with no weapon was using the mind tricks and guilt to have the jedi fall to the dark side. So when she just forced chokes a jedi, I was totally disappointed. Like, wow, osha just kills a jedi by doing using the force (which I would consider a weapon).
@@jamsbat1159 Well, in that case, Darth Thirsttrap killed the Jedi side of Osha because he turned her to the dark side, that's the only think that makes sense, it was his test as a master rather than the girls' test. Let's face it, force choking somebody is no test, especially if Osha and Anakin learned to do it with no actual training on how to do it--it's certainly no more of a test of one's desire to follow the dark side than killing with a weapon.
Because it's impossible for them to write a heros story. Literally impossible, they can't do it, it goes against their agenda n they just don't understand what people want from a hero. They even fucked up the Lord of the rings with the rings of power, literally one of the easiest stories to write is a hero story (you would think anyways), yet not a single person in Hollywood can do it because of their politics, social hypocrisies, and low IQ. And for people saying "oh a hero can be flawed too" that's not the point I'm trying to make, of course almost every hero has a flaw or two. However Hollywood writers cannot make a morally good hero character, it's impossible for them, they always have to make it some in-between that satisfies no one and the writers just take the easy way out.
Eh, that’s debatable. The movies very much frame them as the “good guys”, and even George Lucas views them as such. I love the idea of exploring flawed Jedi, but Disney apparently has absolutely no idea how to do that
@@Kratos-eg7ez Not only they can't write a normal hero story, but they can't even write something MAKE SENSE🤦🏻♂️🙄just look at that smoke-daemon, a light saber can stab kill her？seriously🤷🏻♂️？
there's flawed, and then there completely and totally corrupt, hiding things, abusing the fact they have no oversight. harbouring pdf files who murder children's entire families so they can kidnap their children... and then deciding to cover up someone thing with a story that's even worse for the jedi than the truth she is trying to cover up, so the high ups in the jedi are also dumb as a brick wall. this show doesn't just make them flawed it makes them completely corrupt and also a bunch of idiots.
@@GeekdomCentral yes they are framed as the good guys bc the Jedi as a whole are good bc they serve the light while the sith are by nature is bad, but they still had flaws, this is my POV -TPM along side with TOTJ show how they didn’t take the maul treat seriously which resulted in Qui gon death and the turn of dooku, TPM show them being complacent -AOTC show the flaws of not helping the chosen one and always telling him to suppress his emotions which lead to him losing his mother, and then they choose to take a army of clones who templet is a bounty hunter working for dooku and tried to assassinate padme -Clone wars I honestly don’t really need to explain bc there a good amount of arcs that pretty much tell u straight up -ROTS showed how the Jedi can’t sense that the chancellor and them tries to use anakin to spy on the chancellor knowing he a good friend to anakin , finally anakin tells windu that palp a sith, but instead of letting anakin help u tells him to stay put -The sequels show Luke even saying the Jedi needs to end and he explained how it allowed death sidious to take over, so with the help of yoda they destroyed the ancient text
"to be fair", we're talking about dark side users, so if we hate them, unfortunately the series did something right. But the whole show sends vibes that we should feel sympathy for them or so, and that let the writers appear to be totally awkward and creepy bastards.
I guess sith dude forgot that he had a helmet AND an arm gauntlet made out of crotosis, he could have used that on multiple ocasions to defeat Sol! I guess Headland only ripped that from the lore just for that one tiny scene just to be cool. And OSHA force chocking? Someone who barely just began to have darkside thoughts and tendencies, hasn't been trained AT ALL for years, just knows how to force choke A JEDI MASTER out of no where. And that Kyber Crystal color change? That is just some straight up dog shit. I don't remember Anakin's saber turning color lmao. And damn they did Sol dirty. He did nothing wrong, killing that EVIL head witch was 100% justified. Yet his reputation and character was totally destroyed. I hate that green bald Jedi for everything she did and how she hid everything. Showing Yoda was a mistake, just further making the Jedi look incompetent and straight up dumb. And are they implying that Plagueis got the idea to create life from Osha/Mae? That would be horrible! Just everything about this was destructive on all the lore. This shows that Headland has no idea wtf she's doing and/or is just doing this on purpose. Making the Jedi look dumb, trying to piss us all off, trying to destroy the lore, what Lucas created, what the fans have created.
I actually feel sorry about Master Squidgame, he try soo hard to do this role, yet in the end LH just treat him as a joke🤦🏻♂️ He deserves a second chance, just like the Grand Inquisitor in Kenobi🤦🏻♂️
You know what i realised. The Acolyte writes tried to do something similar to Jinx and Vi. Sister starts a fire in it her family dies. Sister joins bad guys. Whenever the sisters meet, they are separated due to circumstances. But unlike Arcane, Acolyte writes dont have the talent to pull it off.
ya I realized that too, except with Arcane they actually had incredible writers with compelling and complex characters with clear motives and personalities, and a well developed story with amazing performances. The Acolyte just had sisters, and even then they weren’t even actual sisters 💀
Spaceballs is a better Star Wars spinoff. Edit: bleeding a saber is a ritual. The Jedi flow with the Force, the Sith subdue it to their will. Bleeding a saber is subduing the crystal to your will.
I've just realised one major plot point, about this show... They murdered PIP and no one seems to care!? He was reset, mind wiped, personality gone, and essentially killed, and not even Osha seemed to react. I'm certain Osha notices the droid at Mae's side, but makes no reference to his reset coloured eyes! None? The droid she "loved"! That's either shocking writing (most likely) or it shows Osha to be a very, awful person, even before she does-what-she-does.
You can make the Jedi look fallible, without shitting all over their legacy. George Lucas did it. Dave Filoni did it, bu there, Jedi are made to be the bad guys, incompetent, and complicit. stop trying to justify the bleeding of the crystal. By doing what they did, they didn't even fallow their own canon. Bleeding is a disney thing, not legends. And they don't even follow their own canon.
Disney had better writers on andor and mando season 1 and 2.They've proved they can do it but keep giving some of these projects to writers apparently straight out of online college classes
Keep in mind Anakin's saber didn't bleed because Bleeding/Purifying a Kyber crystal is a Disney Retcon. At the time before it was bought by Disney a Red Lightsaber was created through Sith Alchemy and was a synthetic Kyber crystal, which is basically part of why the Sith kept returning to planets like Korriban, since the Rule of Two meant they no longer had the infrastructure to build new equipment for Sith Alchemy. Thus creating or recieving your red lightsaber was part of proving you were strong enough in the dark side to be a Sith.
how is there going to be a season 2 if this season cost 180+ million dollars and the viewers was less than 6 million on the first two episodes and clearly became less the more we kept going?
THANK YOU AngryJoe for pointing out the idiotic “Reversed Lightsaber Lock” problem. I recognized how stupid that move was when I saw it happen and have commented on multiple reviews/reactions - even Shad from Knights Watch, who is a medieval weapons “expert” - and no one else acknowledged it. As soon as Qamir got his lightsaber behind Sol’s blade it should’ve been over: A forward swipe would’ve beheaded Sol. Even a light tap to Sol’s face or neck would’ve ended the fight instantly. To be fair, Sol could’ve done the same thing in that situation. The key difference is that Qamir was wearing a CORTOSIS helmet and Sol wasn’t! If Qamir wanted to make that trick completely safe, he could’ve grabbed Sol’s wrist with his left hand to control his blade (similar to what Anakin did to Dooku in RotS), then swung for the decapitation with his right hand. OR Qamir could’ve use his lightsaber knife to try to shank Sol like he did to Jecki in episode 5. It would’ve been even better if Qamir tried that trick, but because Sol witnessed how Jecki died, he was prepared for it and countered it. Another flaw: WTF happened to Qamir’s cortosis vambrace that he had in episode 5. I know he lost it in the latter half of the episode, but he returned and retrieved his broken helmet. I’m uncertain if it showed him retrieving the vambrace, but he definitely should have considering how rare cortosis is and incredible an advantage it provides duelling Jedi. But for… reasons, Qamir didn’t have the cortosis vambrace this time, presumably to make his duel versus Sol more evenly matched this time.
the tube thing pulling luke in at least made some sense, the tubes lead to hatches that periodically open to the upper atmosphere, so that creates suction. and the orbital station is hughe, that place he falls down is massive, so there's tons of distance for him to be falling and moving sideways. this tube is in a fortress that at the top of a mountain, there's no atmospheric difference between the shaft and the air outside, there's no suction. and the fortress isnt that big, the pit didnt look that deep for there to have been time/distance for her to be pulled sideways into a tube. and its a perfectly horizontal tube. if shes falling and she gets pulled into that tube shes going to smash into the edge of the opening. at least when luke gets pulled in the tube seems to be sloped so he misses the lip and then gets slowed down gradually by the slope. the tube in this is a hard abrupt 90 degree angle, smack, you ded.
Star Wars Theory identified that Leslie H speaks in a contradictory way herself. She says one thing and moments later says the opposite, just like character motives were written.
Sooooooo, Green Bald Jedi appears to be bringing Yoda into this clusterfuck? Shure….why not, he was the only thing left unsoiled in the Star Wars universe….this puts a perfect finish onto this arc. They had to destroy the hero’s, because there are no such thing as hero’s anymore. 😭
Dude the jedi took 50 years to come down from orbit, land, get out of the ship, set up a bbq, find a dead jedi, look around at the walls like sheep, "set up a 5 click perimeter", which they didn't, because they ended up following the rat, get the rat to sniff some bs and run them around in circles. So stupid.
The lightsaber change was awful. If that was how it worked why didn't Luke's saber show a bit of change when he was about to kill Vader in ep6 or while Anakin was fighting Obiwan in Ep3. The lightsaber was changing colors before she even killed Sol and finally turned red after his death. It was never a cool scene visually watching Osha hold the saber and magically be the best fighter the galaxy has ever seen pissed me off. It was silly. The Plagues scene was awful made him seem like a hermit hiding in the shadows. You'd think he'd react the same way Sidious did when he heard Maul tried to use Savage as an apprentice went in person and embarrassed them both in combat. Rule of 2 which is why SmiloRen said power of 2 makes it seem he doesn't even know Plagues exists or wants an apprentice to help defeat him
it completely baffles me that we didn't get a actual sith base story but a terrible story with osha and may who isn't interesting but terrible characters who are garbage in my opinion.
I did it with ep 1, fell asleep, my friend woke me up after I started to snore. Downloaded ep 5 bcos I heard so much about the fights and ep 8 to see how it ended. Most of the time they weren't even striking from an angle or a distance that would've allowed them to hit each other. Ugh.
They’re so tore up about Aniseya being killed, but either Osha and Mae don’t give two fucks about Koril or they know she’s alive, cause they read the script. She’s never brought up or mentioned
About the bleeding: it's all stupid. Lightsaber is a mechanical device, every single lore detail surrounding a sentient crystal is dumb. I'm sure the next move is to see prophecies from starsigns.
What i want to see is a force user so powerful that he ignites a lightsaber blade by pure force ability in his fist without a hilt after losing his original weapon in a tragic battle
May was able to bleed a sabre "accidentally" when Vader (the literal chosen one) failed multiple times AND witches that got unplugged from the Matrix created life when Palpatine and Plageus failed. The hubris.
@@danjoshdp6257 the force created Anakin as a response to Plageus attempting to create the perfect dark side force sensitive. That why Shmi said to Qui Gon " there was no father".
The tube on Bespin made sense, because it was a floating city, not some underground decommissioned mining base. Even when they rip off other Star Wars media, they can't make it make any sense.
What got him in? His own desire to have a great Star Wars piece of media that he hasn't seen before. He is a master at suspending his disbelief. He goes into every show fully believing THIS will be the one that redeems Disney. And inevitably, the show disappoints and he goes on an angry rant.
Anakin's saber definitely should not have bled on accident. The point is that it's a deliberate choice, to choose the dark side, to turn the saber red. On that note, the saber turning red in the Acolyte is stupid, because it happened accidentally, should have been on purpose.
This is like when you played star wars with your sister when you were a kid, and you always win the battles because you know how the force actually works, and she would always get mad, but not mad enough to actually watch any movies. And now that she's grown up, Leslie got her chance to finally make the rules any way she wants and tell me all the ways that I'm wrong.
The blue one was his father's. The green one was his creation. There was a deleted scene from Return of the Jedi, where he shown wrapping up the construction of the saber and loading it into R2D2.
Yep this whole bleeding thing is inferior to the original of kyber crystals are just force sensitive minerals/crystals, and red ones are synthetic made by Sith Alchemy.
@Dp_is_Op completely missed OPs point The crystal in Anakins saber, which luke inherited never changed color even though the crystal that responded to Luke when finally making his own saber turned out to not be blue. "Bleeding" is inconsistent and stupid
I never liked the idea of bleeding Kyber Crystals. Before this, the Sith got red lightsabers by creating their own crystals. And it was cool because they were studying the force, even its most darkest aspects, and thats how they discovered you can create Kybers and fill them with the force. They were like alchemists. Thats why Anakin's didnt turn red. Because it wasnt based on emotions. He was supposed to create his own. I always thought that thats how the Death Star was created! By making red kyber crystals. A lot of red kyber crystals. And the Emperor even did it twice, with two Death Stars. How did he get other crystals after the first Death Star exploded? He didnt. He was a Sith so he could create more and more.
Mexican soap opera tropes used in the Acolyte: * The Evil Twin: One twin is good, while the other is evil, creating confusion and drama. The whole show * Amnesia (mind wipe) : A character loses their memory, usually after a tragic accident, leading to mistaken identities and missed connections. Wiping 16 years of Mae's mind * The Deceptive Villain: A character who pretends to be kind and trustworthy but is actually the villain. Discount Ezra Miller in the beginning * The Overprotective Parent: A parent who goes to extreme lengths to control their child's life, often interfering in romantic relationships. Soul never telling them anything because he wanted "to protect them" * Mistaken Identity: Characters are mistaken for someone else, leading to misunderstandings and comedic or dramatic situations. Mae after the battle when coming with Soul * The Noble Sacrifice: A character gives up something precious or even their life for the sake of others. Soul and Torbin * Corrupt Businessman: A wealthy, powerful character who uses their influence for evil, often the main antagonist. Probably Vanestra
Your comment is "Mexican Approved", they just needed the cheesy dramatic music and close up while it plays, like "Osha, Sol killed our mother * music: tun tun TAAAAAAAAAN * (with fast close up to Osha's dramatic hands over her mouth in disbelief)"
I was listening to Mike's Book Reviews today and he came up with a solution to the problem of Disney's version of Star Wars. Read the Legends books, in my opinion the true cannon Star Wars Stories. Not this crap that Disney is shilling out.
The fat Jedi dude from episode 2 was with sol when Torbin died. Several other witnesses can be his alibi, not to mention for Indara. How has she gotten away with implicating him in these murders?
It’s just wild how they killed and blame Sol for all of this death. Sol wasn’t even on the same planet when Indara died. ALSO there are witnesses and evidence all through the show that proves that Mae was the one committing these crimes
Weren't the red crystals in Lucas' Star Wars red because they were synthetic crystals? Pretty sure the crystal bleeding stuff is Disney's idea. I could be wrong.
@@edwardrichtofen8530 Yeah but at least that’s all surface level. This is the second time they’ve taken plot points and relationship dynamics from Jaina and Jacen. First with Kylo and Rey and their whole force link, now Mae and Osha are conflicted twins on opposite sides.
My eight year old says it was stupid halfway through so we quit watching. We skipped the last two movies and Ashoka and Obi Wan series. .We gave The Acolyte a try but I think, as a family, we are done with Disney Star Wars.
This series killed my enjoyment of Star Wars and was the final nail. After the finale, I cancelled my Disney+ subscription and I’m not coming back for Disney Star Wars. Still a fan of the original 6 but I’m out and won’t come back unless you guys say it’s good again.
The whole idea of bleeding a kyber crystal is something I believe Disney came up with as in the EU the crystals the Jedi used were something natural and grew in the galaxy. Some rare crystals did become attuned to the wielder which offered a stronger cutting blade but with the requirement that the wielder never stray from the Light Side for if they did the blade wouldn’t work. The Sith majority used synthetic crystals I find fitting because they don’t use natural means to obtain them often creating them through sith alchemy. Which I felt deepened the difference between the groups further.

What sucks is the main story--the Jedi massacre during what is ostensibly a wellness/welfare check on the two girls and the subsequent cover-up--was a strong enough hook for the series without having to rely on people turning to and from the darkside or the girls being created by the force or any of that. The outing of a pocket of corruption in the Jedi order during the High Republic could easily keep a series running for a number of seasons, but they either wanted to be or were forced to be a cog in the franchise.

So the Jedi are the bad guys and the Sith are the good guys. Sorry but that’s going too far leslye.
Just because the Jedi are flawed doesn’t mean the Sith don’t frequently commit atrocities for their own gain.
Quimir literally killed like 14 people in this show, one of them being teenager/child. Two of them are Oshas friends. Then three episodes later she's literally holding hands with the dude that killed her friends. This show is trash.
@@wolfsbane9985 That's the level of maturity and intelligence with which this show is written.
"Hey, Osha, what about those people your boyfriend killed?'
"What people?"
Commiting criminal atrocities has never stopped someone from being Leslye's friend.
But the Jedi doesn’t allow different pronouns. Clearly that means they are literally worse than any Sith
No one understood the Force according to George Lucas... the "dark side" is a far more subtle fall to corruption and darkness, but it is not necessarily all out evil.

Its insane how kotor 2 came out 20 years ago was half assly put together in such a short time frame but is the ultimate star wars story on morality that hasn't been topped in live action and that story knows more about the brand then anything disney has put out the entire time they've owned star wars. We've regressed to the dinosaur age in terms of writing and directing every lead character is some girl now we are less diverse than ever, no aliens we only get aliens in this show because its trying to be the prequels like what the hell has happened to this brand I miss the days of being excited for 1313, when star wars had real edge and writing talent behind it that could tell relevant stories of morality without completely breaking my immersion.
kotor is a masterpiece that will never be seen in live action
I’m really hoping they don’t do KOTOR. It’s sad that we’re at a point with an IP that we DON’T want them to include iconic stories / characters because of their shown inability to portray its themes.
Nothing in the live action canon, even the originals, are better than KOTOR 2
Well, it was written by Chris Avellone who was fire itself as a writer in his younger years. Dude wrote Kotor 2, and Planescape Torment in his late twenties/early thirties.
Bruh Force Unleashed has a better story an that’s like 16 years old. Sure it might not be cannon for some. But still it’s stays within the lore and has interesting characters with arcs
Of course Disney made a series where a bad boy dates a under aged girl. People in Hollywood do it all the time.
Well she was weinsteins personal assistant... probably drawing from her work experience.
The twins are 24.
@@giveandtake8428 the actress? I don't recall them saying ages of any characters in the show.
Amandla Stenberg is 25, while Manny Jacinto is 36.
@zeppelin4790 but how old are the characters supposed to be? Definitely not 25 although I'm near 30 and I still get carded as if I'm under 21 some times. But still. The age of he actress doesn't determine the age of the character.

It makes no sense that Vernestra would accuse Sol of going rogue. The senator's entire concern with the Jedi is that a Jedi would turn bad and kill a bunch of people. So if she's trying to protect the Jedi, it would be in her best interest to blame it on an outsider, such as a sith Lord, or a ninja assassin.
She's covering up what happened and hiding evidence of the sith solely to make it try to fit within Canon????
The only possible explanation would be that vernestra is a secret sith and she's hiding the truth to protect the sith not the Jedi.
Yep her cover up makes no sense as doubling down and blaming Mae, to make a point about how Jedi are needed, since the dark side is what untrained force wielders lean towards would have fit her agenda better.
Absolutely, after this revelation, the senate (or rather the oversight-faction) would be all over the Jedi - and with good arguments, too.
Also, wouldn't it be super easy to prove that it couldn't have been Sol who killed all the witches (alone) because they came back as a squad of 4 Jedi; and Sol wasn't even their leader? Are there investigative journalists in Star Wars?
Its official, they are called “moodsabers”
Except that has been a thing in Star Wars for a very long time now, acolyte has just been following what has already been established

Osha able to do it so simply just shows how they don't bother to research their own Canon
The production value of this does not look like 180 million dollar quality. Much less the writing.
At this point its clear that its money laundering
I think the writers of this show were suffering from, the power of one too many drinks🥴
Drinks.... *or lines?*
I think whats most infuriating is they cast the least charismatic person to play two people who are front and center.
Dude her acting is just atrocious. It's like they told her this was an emotional story and she just decided to overact everything since she was acting half the time to herself anyway -_-
It’s amazing they made reva a more interesting character by comparison
It's crazy how some actors can really make 2 characters come to live in such unique ways. They can immediately make it obvious who is who simply by changing small mannerisms and facial expressions. This can make people quickly relate to the characters and makes it much easier to identify who is who.
This actor didn't do any of this, just 2 twins running around like headless chickens doing stuff for no reason.
The writers clearly don't know how a cover-up works. If you're trying to protect your organisation from scrutiny, you don't blame one of your own for murders committed by an outsider. That defeats the whole point. 😂
Not to defend the show, but I think it's more like green bald lady was trying to cover for herself. To blame everything on Sol to hide the fact that HER apprentice killed everyone, including Sol. She cares about herself, not the jedi.
@@wolfsbane9985 In that case, why not just blame it on some random force user. Now the senate is going to look closer and Quimor is still out there potentially exposing her lies. And Basil knows Sol didn't kill the other Jedi he saw Quimir.
There's also the fact that she had no idea Quimir might be involved until the last episode when she suddenly decided to pin it all on Sol. Yet another example of last minute decision with poor motivation.
It's just so unnecessarily convoluted like every other part of the show.
One would expect that the one thing the writers DID know how to do was to know how a cover-up works, right?
@@wolfsbane9985 Hence why you double down on Mae is the culprit, since its counters the Senator's point by showing what happens if Jedi don't train powerful younglings.
When OJ said "Let me tell you how we met", I just burst out laughing. Bless him for making jokes about the show. I'm sure it makes it much easier for the other guys to sit through this slop.

Did anyone else think that the whole "killing a Jedi without using a weapon" was going to be something like Osha turned to the dark side and away from the light, thus "killing" the Jedi without a weapon?
I thought that 100% that killing a jedi with no weapon was using the mind tricks and guilt to have the jedi fall to the dark side. So when she just forced chokes a jedi, I was totally disappointed. Like, wow, osha just kills a jedi by doing using the force (which I would consider a weapon).
@@jamsbat1159 Well, in that case, Darth Thirsttrap killed the Jedi side of Osha because he turned her to the dark side, that's the only think that makes sense, it was his test as a master rather than the girls' test. Let's face it, force choking somebody is no test, especially if Osha and Anakin learned to do it with no actual training on how to do it--it's certainly no more of a test of one's desire to follow the dark side than killing with a weapon.
@@jamsbat1159 that makes sense too. Dang, we were all wrong lol
the writers are smart enough to make any sort of mind, wording for foreshadowing
Why are people so hell bent on showing the Jedi being flawed in the show? All the media with the Jedi clearly shows them flawed, even the sequels
Because it's impossible for them to write a heros story. Literally impossible, they can't do it, it goes against their agenda n they just don't understand what people want from a hero. They even fucked up the Lord of the rings with the rings of power, literally one of the easiest stories to write is a hero story (you would think anyways), yet not a single person in Hollywood can do it because of their politics, social hypocrisies, and low IQ. And for people saying "oh a hero can be flawed too" that's not the point I'm trying to make, of course almost every hero has a flaw or two. However Hollywood writers cannot make a morally good hero character, it's impossible for them, they always have to make it some in-between that satisfies no one and the writers just take the easy way out.
Eh, that’s debatable. The movies very much frame them as the “good guys”, and even George Lucas views them as such. I love the idea of exploring flawed Jedi, but Disney apparently has absolutely no idea how to do that
@@Kratos-eg7ez Not only they can't write a normal hero story, but they can't even write something MAKE SENSE🤦🏻♂️🙄just look at that smoke-daemon, a light saber can stab kill her？seriously🤷🏻♂️？
there's flawed, and then there completely and totally corrupt, hiding things, abusing the fact they have no oversight. harbouring pdf files who murder children's entire families so they can kidnap their children... and then deciding to cover up someone thing with a story that's even worse for the jedi than the truth she is trying to cover up, so the high ups in the jedi are also dumb as a brick wall.
this show doesn't just make them flawed it makes them completely corrupt and also a bunch of idiots.
@@GeekdomCentral yes they are framed as the good guys bc the Jedi as a whole are good bc they serve the light while the sith are by nature is bad, but they still had flaws, this is my POV
-TPM along side with TOTJ show how they didn’t take the maul treat seriously which resulted in Qui gon death and the turn of dooku, TPM show them being complacent
-AOTC show the flaws of not helping the chosen one and always telling him to suppress his emotions which lead to him losing his mother, and then they choose to take a army of clones who templet is a bounty hunter working for dooku and tried to assassinate padme
-Clone wars I honestly don’t really need to explain bc there a good amount of arcs that pretty much tell u straight up
-ROTS showed how the Jedi can’t sense that the chancellor and them tries to use anakin to spy on the chancellor knowing he a good friend to anakin , finally anakin tells windu that palp a sith, but instead of letting anakin help u tells him to stay put

Sol did nothing wrong.
The twins are evil.
Facts
Sol was obsessed with a little girl. Dude was weird
"to be fair", we're talking about dark side users, so if we hate them, unfortunately the series did something right.
But the whole show sends vibes that we should feel sympathy for them or so, and that let the writers appear to be totally awkward and creepy bastards.
“From my point of view, the Jedi are evil!”
I guess sith dude forgot that he had a helmet AND an arm gauntlet made out of crotosis, he could have used that on multiple ocasions to defeat Sol! I guess Headland only ripped that from the lore just for that one tiny scene just to be cool.
And OSHA force chocking? Someone who barely just began to have darkside thoughts and tendencies, hasn't been trained AT ALL for years, just knows how to force choke A JEDI MASTER out of no where.
And that Kyber Crystal color change? That is just some straight up dog shit. I don't remember Anakin's saber turning color lmao.
And damn they did Sol dirty. He did nothing wrong, killing that EVIL head witch was 100% justified. Yet his reputation and character was totally destroyed. I hate that green bald Jedi for everything she did and how she hid everything.
Showing Yoda was a mistake, just further making the Jedi look incompetent and straight up dumb.
And are they implying that Plagueis got the idea to create life from Osha/Mae? That would be horrible!
Just everything about this was destructive on all the lore. This shows that Headland has no idea wtf she's doing and/or is just doing this on purpose. Making the Jedi look dumb, trying to piss us all off, trying to destroy the lore, what Lucas created, what the fans have created.
I actually feel sorry about Master Squidgame, he try soo hard to do this role, yet in the end LH just treat him as a joke🤦🏻♂️
He deserves a second chance, just like the Grand Inquisitor in Kenobi🤦🏻♂️
You know what i realised. The Acolyte writes tried to do something similar to Jinx and Vi. Sister starts a fire in it her family dies. Sister joins bad guys. Whenever the sisters meet, they are separated due to circumstances. But unlike Arcane, Acolyte writes dont have the talent to pull it off.
Damn that is true. Arcane needs to gatekeeps from these DEI Hatecreeps
ya I realized that too, except with Arcane they actually had incredible writers with compelling and complex characters with clear motives and personalities, and a well developed story with amazing performances. The Acolyte just had sisters, and even then they weren’t even actual sisters 💀
Crazy how big the difference is between these two shows. Didn't even remotely make the connection there.
Spaceballs is a better Star Wars spinoff.
Edit: bleeding a saber is a ritual. The Jedi flow with the Force, the Sith subdue it to their will. Bleeding a saber is subduing the crystal to your will.
That's why their making space balls 2 , Disney star wars has had so much sh!t for them to spoof😂😂😂 it's going to be epic!!
I've just realised one major plot point, about this show...
They murdered PIP and no one seems to care!?
He was reset, mind wiped, personality gone, and essentially killed, and not even Osha seemed to react. I'm certain Osha notices the droid at Mae's side, but makes no reference to his reset coloured eyes! None? The droid she "loved"!
That's either shocking writing (most likely) or it shows Osha to be a very, awful person, even before she does-what-she-does.
Osha and Qimir will give birth to Palpatine next Season! 🤣
surprisingly a non diverse version of Palpatine
Shiiiiiiit.... That´s sooooo probably.... :S
@@YanaPetruk the baby will be Hispanic because the baby must be diverse and the explanation will be the force lol 😂😂
You can make the Jedi look fallible, without shitting all over their legacy. George Lucas did it. Dave Filoni did it, bu there, Jedi are made to be the bad guys, incompetent, and complicit.
stop trying to justify the bleeding of the crystal. By doing what they did, they didn't even fallow their own canon. Bleeding is a disney thing, not legends. And they don't even follow their own canon.
not even last jedi did that, as much as people say that was the case...
The difference between HBO's writers and Disney's writers is ridiculous
Night and day
Disney had better writers on andor and mando season 1 and 2.They've proved they can do it but keep giving some of these projects to writers apparently straight out of online college classes
"WHERE IS THE MONEY K.K?! WHERE IS THE MONEY?!"
Accidentally bleeding a lightsaber is as bad as accidentally using force lightning
Keep in mind Anakin's saber didn't bleed because Bleeding/Purifying a Kyber crystal is a Disney Retcon. At the time before it was bought by Disney a Red Lightsaber was created through Sith Alchemy and was a synthetic Kyber crystal, which is basically part of why the Sith kept returning to planets like Korriban, since the Rule of Two meant they no longer had the infrastructure to build new equipment for Sith Alchemy. Thus creating or recieving your red lightsaber was part of proving you were strong enough in the dark side to be a Sith.
Exactly
This whole mechanic clashes with the earlier movies and is pointless and dumb.
The best part of this entire show is that we got Alex protecting OJ saying "He's a treasure". Loved that!
how is there going to be a season 2 if this season cost 180+ million dollars and the viewers was less than 6 million on the first two episodes and clearly became less the more we kept going?
its a grift and the grift ends when the shoe drops
Because Ol' LH was Harvey Weinstein's personal assistant and she knows where the bodies are buried.
THANK YOU AngryJoe for pointing out the idiotic “Reversed Lightsaber Lock” problem. I recognized how stupid that move was when I saw it happen and have commented on multiple reviews/reactions - even Shad from Knights Watch, who is a medieval weapons “expert” - and no one else acknowledged it.
As soon as Qamir got his lightsaber behind Sol’s blade it should’ve been over: A forward swipe would’ve beheaded Sol. Even a light tap to Sol’s face or neck would’ve ended the fight instantly.
To be fair, Sol could’ve done the same thing in that situation. The key difference is that Qamir was wearing a CORTOSIS helmet and Sol wasn’t!
If Qamir wanted to make that trick completely safe, he could’ve grabbed Sol’s wrist with his left hand to control his blade (similar to what Anakin did to Dooku in RotS), then swung for the decapitation with his right hand.
OR Qamir could’ve use his lightsaber knife to try to shank Sol like he did to Jecki in episode 5.
It would’ve been even better if Qamir tried that trick, but because Sol witnessed how Jecki died, he was prepared for it and countered it.
Another flaw: WTF happened to Qamir’s cortosis vambrace that he had in episode 5. I know he lost it in the latter half of the episode, but he returned and retrieved his broken helmet. I’m uncertain if it showed him retrieving the vambrace, but he definitely should have considering how rare cortosis is and incredible an advantage it provides duelling Jedi. But for… reasons, Qamir didn’t have the cortosis vambrace this time, presumably to make his duel versus Sol more evenly matched this time.
the tube thing pulling luke in at least made some sense, the tubes lead to hatches that periodically open to the upper atmosphere, so that creates suction. and the orbital station is hughe, that place he falls down is massive, so there's tons of distance for him to be falling and moving sideways.
this tube is in a fortress that at the top of a mountain, there's no atmospheric difference between the shaft and the air outside, there's no suction. and the fortress isnt that big, the pit didnt look that deep for there to have been time/distance for her to be pulled sideways into a tube. and its a perfectly horizontal tube. if shes falling and she gets pulled into that tube shes going to smash into the edge of the opening. at least when luke gets pulled in the tube seems to be sloped so he misses the lip and then gets slowed down gradually by the slope. the tube in this is a hard abrupt 90 degree angle, smack, you ded.
Since mei is strong in the force i assumed she used that in a burst of fear... and now she was just saved by her environment
Did anyone else notice that Sol and Basli never had a single conversation in this whole series, not even acknowledgement of his existence.
Star Wars Theory identified that Leslie H speaks in a contradictory way herself. She says one thing and moments later says the opposite, just like character motives were written.
Sooooooo, Green Bald Jedi appears to be bringing Yoda into this clusterfuck? Shure….why not, he was the only thing left unsoiled in the Star Wars universe….this puts a perfect finish onto this arc. They had to destroy the hero’s, because there are no such thing as hero’s anymore. 😭
you are forgetting the boba fett yoda baby
Dude the jedi took 50 years to come down from orbit, land, get out of the ship, set up a bbq, find a dead jedi, look around at the walls like sheep, "set up a 5 click perimeter", which they didn't, because they ended up following the rat, get the rat to sniff some bs and run them around in circles. So stupid.

The lightsaber change was awful. If that was how it worked why didn't Luke's saber show a bit of change when he was about to kill Vader in ep6 or while Anakin was fighting Obiwan in Ep3. The lightsaber was changing colors before she even killed Sol and finally turned red after his death. It was never a cool scene visually watching Osha hold the saber and magically be the best fighter the galaxy has ever seen pissed me off. It was silly. The Plagues scene was awful made him seem like a hermit hiding in the shadows. You'd think he'd react the same way Sidious did when he heard Maul tried to use Savage as an apprentice went in person and embarrassed them both in combat. Rule of 2 which is why SmiloRen said power of 2 makes it seem he doesn't even know Plagues exists or wants an apprentice to help defeat him

The only way this could have costed $180 million, they better have already spent it on season 2 already. That cannot be a 1 season budget on this.
About the bleeding: it's all stupid. Lightsaber is a mechanical device, every single lore detail surrounding a sentient crystal is dumb. I'm sure the next move is to see prophecies from starsigns.
Yeah the old lore was that the red saber crystals were synthetic and created by the Sith after they first left the Order. It made a lot more sense.
What i want to see is a force user so powerful that he ignites a lightsaber blade by pure force ability in his fist without a hilt after losing his original weapon in a tragic battle
May was able to bleed a sabre "accidentally" when Vader (the literal chosen one) failed multiple times AND witches that got unplugged from the Matrix created life when Palpatine and Plageus failed. The hubris.
Wait, if Plagueis and Palpatine failed, then who created Anakin?
@@danjoshdp6257 the force created Anakin as a response to Plageus attempting to create the perfect dark side force sensitive. That why Shmi said to Qui Gon " there was no father".

Anakin's saber definitely should not have bled on accident. The point is that it's a deliberate choice, to choose the dark side, to turn the saber red.
On that note, the saber turning red in the Acolyte is stupid, because it happened accidentally, should have been on purpose.
I give the Acolyte a -0 out of 10 and that’s being generous
This is like when you played star wars with your sister when you were a kid, and you always win the battles because you know how the force actually works, and she would always get mad, but not mad enough to actually watch any movies. And now that she's grown up, Leslie got her chance to finally make the rules any way she wants and tell me all the ways that I'm wrong.
Luke had a blue saber for years and it never changed color. His next one was green. Changing saber colors like this is stupid.
Different saber
The blue one was his father's. The green one was his creation. There was a deleted scene from Return of the Jedi, where he shown wrapping up the construction of the saber and loading it into R2D2.
@@Zero4Champ Yeah, that's kind of my point. His fathers never turned green despite years of use by him.
Yep this whole bleeding thing is inferior to the original of kyber crystals are just force sensitive minerals/crystals, and red ones are synthetic made by Sith Alchemy.
@Dp_is_Op completely missed OPs point
The crystal in Anakins saber, which luke inherited never changed color even though the crystal that responded to Luke when finally making his own saber turned out to not be blue.
"Bleeding" is inconsistent and stupid
I never liked the idea of bleeding Kyber Crystals.
Before this, the Sith got red lightsabers by creating their own crystals. And it was cool because they were studying the force, even its most darkest aspects, and thats how they discovered you can create Kybers and fill them with the force. They were like alchemists.
Thats why Anakin's didnt turn red. Because it wasnt based on emotions. He was supposed to create his own.
I always thought that thats how the Death Star was created! By making red kyber crystals. A lot of red kyber crystals.
And the Emperor even did it twice, with two Death Stars. How did he get other crystals after the first Death Star exploded? He didnt. He was a Sith so he could create more and more.
Mexican soap opera tropes used in the Acolyte:
* The Evil Twin: One twin is good, while the other is evil, creating confusion and drama.
The whole show
* Amnesia (mind wipe) : A character loses their memory, usually after a tragic accident, leading to mistaken identities and missed connections.
Wiping 16 years of Mae's mind
* The Deceptive Villain: A character who pretends to be kind and trustworthy but is actually the villain.
Discount Ezra Miller in the beginning
* The Overprotective Parent: A parent who goes to extreme lengths to control their child's life, often interfering in romantic relationships.
Soul never telling them anything because he wanted "to protect them"
* Mistaken Identity: Characters are mistaken for someone else, leading to misunderstandings and comedic or dramatic situations.
Mae after the battle when coming with Soul
* The Noble Sacrifice: A character gives up something precious or even their life for the sake of others.
Soul and Torbin
* Corrupt Businessman: A wealthy, powerful character who uses their influence for evil, often the main antagonist.
Probably Vanestra
Your comment is "Mexican Approved", they just needed the cheesy dramatic music and close up while it plays, like "Osha, Sol killed our mother * music: tun tun TAAAAAAAAAN * (with fast close up to Osha's dramatic hands over her mouth in disbelief)"

Plaqueis hides in the couch while he watches Qimir pound off.
Plagueis is the couch

The fat Jedi dude from episode 2 was with sol when Torbin died. Several other witnesses can be his alibi, not to mention for Indara.
How has she gotten away with implicating him in these murders?
It’s just wild how they killed and blame Sol for all of this death. Sol wasn’t even on the same planet when Indara died. ALSO there are witnesses and evidence all through the show that proves that Mae was the one committing these crimes
I cannot tell if it's lazy writing, hack writers, or people just clocking in and clocking out without passion at Disney.
Weren't the red crystals in Lucas' Star Wars red because they were synthetic crystals? Pretty sure the crystal bleeding stuff is Disney's idea. I could be wrong.
Great, another shitty version of the Jaina and Jacen Solo dynamic. I wish they'd stop picking the carcass of the Expanded Universe like this.
Don’t forget a lame version of Revan with Mae
@@edwardrichtofen8530 Yeah but at least that’s all surface level. This is the second time they’ve taken plot points and relationship dynamics from Jaina and Jacen. First with Kylo and Rey and their whole force link, now Mae and Osha are conflicted twins on opposite sides.
3:10 an epic Joe slam poem
This is the only thing GREAT that came out of THE ACOLYTE SHOW and i am here all for it fun fact i have not watched one episode
My eight year old says it was stupid halfway through so we quit watching. We skipped the last two movies and Ashoka and Obi Wan series. .We gave The Acolyte a try but I think, as a family, we are done with Disney Star Wars.
This series killed my enjoyment of Star Wars and was the final nail. After the finale, I cancelled my Disney+ subscription and I’m not coming back for Disney Star Wars. Still a fan of the original 6 but I’m out and won’t come back unless you guys say it’s good again.
The whole idea of bleeding a kyber crystal is something I believe Disney came up with as in the EU the crystals the Jedi used were something natural and grew in the galaxy. Some rare crystals did become attuned to the wielder which offered a stronger cutting blade but with the requirement that the wielder never stray from the Light Side for if they did the blade wouldn’t work.
The Sith majority used synthetic crystals I find fitting because they don’t use natural means to obtain them often creating them through sith alchemy. Which I felt deepened the difference between the groups further.
We've had One Season......... We don't need Two Seasons..... Because we'll end up with Many...
1:20:05 No Kamir is going to lead Vernestra through a space chase and right before she’s about to shoot him he will get away because Vernestra will get “space sickness” 🤢🤣
