Three “professional” writers wrote the screenplay.
Three.
Utter garbage.
I'm not sure it was more than one because the level of writing is not only bad but very consistent whst are the chances three are that bad together?
Three DEI hires
Acolyte is actually a laxative. So if you’re backed up throw on an episode & you’ll take a darth dookie.
Ah a lovely refreshing sexual politics angry wasp enema of a show. Just what everyone asked for.
Darth Dookie is actually bob iger's middle name
Love the show great show
Or a Sith Shit...
@@isaacsantana6560please stop embarrassing yourself now.
The writing on this one was incomprehensibly bad.
Why was Torbin so wracked with guilt? Are they trying to say his decision-making led to all those deaths? *False*. Aniseya being a freaking aggressive weirdo and Koril being so ready for violence is what led to the violence. Sol and Torbin acted defensively.
So the mountain ACTUALLY burnt down because of that oil fire!? Spread through that hall of stone to immolate an entire mountain. I didn't think there was ANY way they'd actually go through with that.
This is worse than CW writing.
I assumed the fire hit a reactor.
This seems like a last minute rewrite. Just like that ADR line in the previous flashback episode about "We have right to test them.... .... ... with your permission" and the show planned to portray them in much worse light until some clapback from the upstairs made them to tone it all down.
It's actually Mount Doom. Fanservice. 🙄🙄🙄
Maybe Batgirl. Loved arrow.
@@SiMon-em3wu And Charmed. Hoo boy.
Episode 8:
Smilo: Osha, Sol killed your mother.
Osha: Zomg, I'll become your Acolyte.
End credits.
What an epic and unforeseen twist 😂
Even super shill, Grace Randolph, criticised the show…that’s how bad it was!
I guess her hair decided not to eat anymore of her brain-cells (if she had any to begin with) 🤣
That’s actually really surprising to know this. She shilled the hell out of this show, but it goes to show, bad writing can only go so far.
Did she? That must be real bad given what a defense she ran for it not that long ago :D
Grace finally sees the light😂😂😂😂😂
Even John Campea hates this. And he is a shill too.
The witches died because their 4G signal to the Wookiee got cut off.
wat
Someone wanted to beat the Luke dying via Force-skype death in sheer dumbness.
5G, you know how dangerous 5G is right?
Shouldn't have Mae also instantly died she was did the ritual initiation previously.
Bad connection kills like did with Luke? It's like poetry. It rhymes
But, what about the power of many?
“…. And with that, the “it’s just Dumb!” Meme made a gloriously triumphant return.”
"I've destroyed the Jedi and everything they stood for. My work here is done.". - Derp Headlamp, Harvey's former personal assistant.
I can’t tell if the writers failed in their bizarre quest to make the Jedi into villains because they are incompetent and talentless or if they failed because they don’t know what good and evil actually are… perhaps both. Or maybe they were too distracted doodling Sith fanfic and shirtless pool scenes into their notebooks.
Communist activists. They are not writers. This is all warped propaganda to them and a platform for their message. Good and evil are flipped for them.
LOL, I think a bit of all of the above.
they are A c o *l u n a t i c s* 😂waaa haa haa
@@albertcabrerajr992 this joke was better written than the series. The Jedi Council will grant you the rank of Master.
Disney Star Wars will NEVER recover from this!
It never recovered from the prequels in my opinion
If they took the light sabers out you wouldn’t even be able to tell this is “Star Wars”.
Its actual title should *Star Wars NIGHTS*, it's that bad!
Not wrong the light sabers and wookie are the only two things thatt even identify this as a Star Wars project.
@@maxbrandt6 hahahahaha, that’s good😁
So they had a transporter malfunction that split them into good and evil.
Done before. The Enemy Within.
You know it’s bad when Grace Rudolph says it’s bad, she usually blows Disney
Guess she needed a little mouth-wash.
😂😂😂😂
It's a common tool used by shills. Auto magazines do it all the time. New car comes out. Manufacture wines and dines the "Press" to 5 star places with great weather when most of the world is living in 1 star weather. Writer praises the product. Jump ahead a few years when the replacement comes out. Same writer "Well, the previous version wasn't convincing and had issues A,B + C". They do it for street cred among the masses. It shows the writer is "Independent" and pulls no punches. The manufacture accepts it because it's true and they don't make the previous version anyways.
If you dump on the product from the get-go, you don't get access and invites. If you change your tune after the launch, you stand out as supposedly being someone that can't be bought (while being bought).
when i was younger i was like i cant wait to see what they do w star wars.
now im kinda hoping they leave it alone.
New drinking game:
Everytime you see red and green illuminated buttons on boxes, on location (forest) scenes,
Take a shot.
I don’t get it ?
$180 million budget.
Lots of plain looking boxes with red and green illuminated buttons.
Buttons also adorn a number of plain items to make them look “star warsy”, such as an every day metal detector, add a few illuminated buttons and viola! Midichlorian detector for the Wookie Jedi Master.
Luke in Epsiode 5: lifts a crashed X wing out of the swamp while training.
Wookie Jedi Knight: Can't find a force vergence with a metal detector.
Actually, Yoda lifted Luke's X-wing...
@@gregmainer5416 Yup. You're right. Proof that watching Acolyte is making me actively lose brain cells.
@mickeyd8768 🤣
Fortunately I have managed to avoid viewing this abhorrent and vile aberration !
@@mickeyd8768Luke does get it half way up though so you’re both right 👍
The awful behavior of both Sol & Torbin was my main issue. Sol is extremely selfish and rash, and Torbin is just fragile and spoiled. Why are these two even on a mission like this? ...at least Torbin has the excuse that he's a Padawan.
true and true. however, Torbin's master Trinity made a long argument at the beginning of the episode about how she's teaching him to find his own answers. classic case of tell and then show the opposite.
It IS a story about The Sith, its just about the real-world Sith: Feminism.
Mother Anesthesia (a Feminist) corrupts the mind of Torbin (a man). The Jedi (men and women in society) come to the planet in good-faith, but end up trying to "liberate" the Twins (women). The Witches (Feminist ideology) takes control of Wookie (the most powerful parts of society), who then attempts to kill and destroy everything around him, including the witches (Feminist ideology). Seoul (a man) attempts to rescue the Twins (women) but realizes it's impossible. Indara (a woman) convinces Seoul (a man) to ignore the potential destruction caused by a childl (the next generation) raised by The Sith (Feminists).
Media literacy FTW.
Feebleminded children write better stories than this. This is $180 million spent for no actual benefit, except to the actors who got paid and may have ruined their resumes forever with this stain. There are a few actors with actual talent in this, but they can't overcome horrible scripts, horrible direction, and a horrible showrunner who may have been taking Harvey's sloppy seconds in the past.
I wrote my 9 year old niece an avp short story with better writing with this 😂
Its a very cowardly written show. They are obsessed with not picking sides, seemingly to "let you make your own interpretation." But it amounts to a whole lot of nothing as you wait for the next episode to actually resolve these conflicts or at least flesh out its themes that have been only hinted at.
Jedi good. Space lesbian witches are bad. The End.
The concept is good. The execution is terrible.
@@grobanworldnews4216Jedi suck. Lesbian space witches suck. Sith are awesome and they kick ass.
Fin.
@@ThespianPrince13I bet they’ll end this show by shoehorning in Plagueis
They still didn't explain how the castle made of stone and steel had fires erupting everywhere (and EXPLOSIONS???!!!???) from a small oil lamp (?) spilling and catching fire... So, so, so dumb...
Easy. Several witches left their ovens on to do the power of many possession thing.
@@imjustadog1897 I mean at this point, it would at least offer an explanation!
agreed! unless they decide in the last episode that YET ANOTHER "Point of view" includes Carrie-Ann Moss's character deciding that the force cult must be destroyed, and it was actually explosions from blasts from the spaceship, not the fire, that destroyed the temple.
@@sweatyheroes4560 I want to see Trin leap from the ship down onto Jedbacca's back, in bullet-time of course.
I'm starting to think Pasha and Doomcock might have had a point with this show being just a money scheme that just got called out so they had to scramble around for any script at a last minute. We know movies like Quantumania and Multiverse had their script written during shooting and yet this show is even more incomprehensible.
The claims that they only had enough for a trailer sound accurate now. Episodes 1 & 2 were promo shots loosely strung together, 3&7 were the same episode, 4 nothing happened, 5 was just more promo shots, 6 nothing happened and they admitted it was all added later. Episode 8 will likely have been another late addition seeing as Episode 7 didn't build towards anything.
This show has a bigger budget than any of the Original Trilogy and the Prequel films!
Think about that, this TV Show has more money pumped into it than the Phantom Menace and Revenge of the Sith!
That's like if I repainted a cheap Halloween Dracula mask and then tried to claim that my mask was worth the same as one of the Dracula masks used in Coppola's Dracula!
Also it's not $22.5m per episode they only shot 7 episodes of content and cut it into episodes 3 and 7. They spent over 25m an episode.
To be fair the prequels are shit as well
@@SpecialOrder935
Ah yeah the Prequels were always hot garbage, I only consider Star Wars to be three movies, it begins with A New Hope and ends with Return of the Jedi.
... the rest is just embarrassing Fan Fiction to me.
@@SpeedBoost They're far from perfect or the same level as the OG trilogy but at least it's undeniably Star Wars.
"we're just here for the girls...." yep, heard that one before!
I actually had to go and rinse my eyeballs out under the tap after this one, it was trash, I felt myself getting dumber as I watched it! What an utter shitshow!
I blame those who hired the Chinese tofu construction companies.
Because of them the concrete was flammable in the first place.
That ep was 3 (again) with some added deleted scenes that had no place or additional contexts to the storyline.
Acoshyte episode 7 Force Awakens? It’s abysmal!
At least I expected better explanation for the hideout destruction but looks like it really was the bricks fire
The Acolyte is basically destroying Lucas' idea of the Jedi and is setting it up for the Disney version. And this will probably play into what the Rey Movie will be like...
RETCON WARS:
Episode whatever:
The Power of Scribbling on the Script (if we had one).
Seriously, man, that's the best mock title I can come up with because this show has rotted my brain.
Im still waiting for the legoheadland self insert that the real big bad boss. 😂
How do you open a locked door in the Galaxy Far Far away ?
.
With a Wookie (woo-key)
Oh lol I was thinking you FORCE it open or some shit 😅🤷♂️
This episode in a nutshell is:
- mother anuseye: Hey saucy boy.
- squidman: shut up you egg.
- *he stabs her*
- *he knapps on of the kids*
- all law enforcement is evil. the end.
*Peak fiction, Frank Herbert eat your heart out.
Instead of trying to use the force to hold up the bridge, couldnt he have just tried to pick the girls up instead with the force?
It was so dumb, how can anyone write this out, read it back and go. "That's good, can I have 180 million please." And they go."Sure."
It's less a deep dive on the 'Sith' and more a shallow puddle on 'Comedy of Errors' along with the vaguest ideas attempted in the most incompetent and pathetic way possible.
I’m glad I don’t want rubbish this is not Star Wars it’s just The trash 🗑️ wars of wokeness of Disney and Kathleen Kennedy
Is there an opposite of a Magnum Opus? Because that is genuinely what the Acolyte comes across as.
Notice they tried messing with the audience score before this aired
So all this time… the Jedi were in the right and were doing t he responsible thing? This show is such a boring mess. I actually liked Indara played by Carrie-Ann Moss, like Jung Lee Jae, she really makes you believe she is a fully trained Jedi master. It’s a shame Harvey’s assistant completely destroyed Sol’s character.
What I like about your videos,
is that you make them short and sweet!
I hate how some of these other UA-cam channels have an hour and a half to two hour videos just to pretty much say the same thing you said l, but you do it in less than 10 minutes. I see some of those other runtimes on those videos and I don't even bother.
The way those witches pass out when the force WiFi was severed from Kelnaca was beyond parody levels of hilarity. Christ almighty this is so bad lmao. Then there’s that bridge scene where instead of using logic and common sense to lift the girls who are clearly the lighter objects in comparison to the damn bridge…. Peak brain rot is what this show was …. F for Star Wars as it has died. The irony of Lesley headland bashing George’s EU is that she has pretty much stolen his already used ideas and poorly executed them. $180m for this nonsense is wild
The Acolyte? More like 'The Craptheywrite' 🤢🤮
Splitting one person into two gives you two broken halves. Psychologically and physically, they would be weaker than one whole person.
Why would the Witches even hide this information from the kids? Just like how Osha knows about the Jedi in the first place. Wouldn't you want them to know they where born from the thread? They give her Jedi info. But don't give how she was created? Again, moving the plot forward. Also Anasaya SHOULD have had a Saber hole in her chest. Do we see her chest at all in episode 3's footage? Second, if they knew from day 1 that they use to be one person, split into two. Wouldn't you think if one dies. They both die? So no one ever thought. Gee, Mae might be alive.
Now I'm nervous. Will the final episode continue its delightful downward trajectory or will it ruin the slope?
This was nothing but a 40-minute recap of flashback episode three with very little new material.😖
Saw a few review sites giving Ep.7 a zero.
People dematerializing is more Harry Potter than Star Wars. The force is now straight up magic.
Mr. H, you made this episode sound intriguing, which as you point out, it was not. I can’t believe that it’s taken 7 episodes of an 8 episode show for us to get a few answers, yet nothing has any real meaning in the grand scheme of things.
Metal detectors in space?
THANK YOU so much for reviewing this series. That way I don't have to watch this junk labeled as Star Wars.
How to own a million dollar franchise!? Sell it to Disney for $4 billion!!! Maybe George Lucas could buy it back for a few million quid now.
One episode to wrap up this mess LOL
Someone take the scene where they lose the wifi on the wookie an when all collapsed out the dial up modem sound 😂
🇺🇸 THANK YOU Mr. H.!. 🇺🇸
Everybody in finance at Disney needs to do a audit on this show. What the hell was 180 million used for?
Acolyte is the final nail in the coffin. I don’t see how Disney can resurrect Old fans and new fans to Star Wars which is a shame as the original films were so special to me growing up.
I fell asleep twice while trying to watch it.
Master Soul sounds like the name of a rap musician.
Another reminder, Longlegs is in theaters this Friday. Support our boy Nic Cage.
hell yeah! and our girl Maika Monroe.
The shtest show I’ve watched!, Disney actually paid someone money to make this sht!.
0:40 Please don't give them any ideas 🙄 😂 Someone might actually try to cobble something together last minute to try and save their skins, lol
That jedi took poison to kill himself when he didn't do anything. Love the reviews of this garbage show. Makes my werk
It's the same shit with every Star Wars show. We get an episode or two away from the finale and because they can't tell stories properly, so many lose ends need to be crammed into the last episode.
Just about every Disney+ show has been written this way. First comes the expositions dump, then comes the smashing of the action figures together for the very end.
Next episode, Mae sees the light and blocks the killing blow from qimir on sol, sol kills qimir and osha kills sol because she's been totally turned to the darkside after a few hours with qimir. Then osha talks about the sith rising someday, end of story.
That's my guess how they will wrap it up
This was like 47 minutes of "PREVIOUSLY! On Star Wars: Acolyte..." it served no purpose BUT that horned mother vanished so I wonder if SHE is the one in charge of Qimir. Wouldn't bloody surprise me. He controls minds after all.
Yeah why didn't Sol just YELL at the two kids on the broken bridge to run in the other direction, to save them both..? it's not like his mouth was incapacitated.. 🤨
If there is another Sith, who do you think it is out of all the character we have seen....
1) Her Wife...
2) The Mamma
3) Both of them as she cut off her horns & painted her skin green!
My Vote is 50/50 on 1 & 3..
1 because she loves evil, so personifying her wife as a depraved evil cow who would happily destroy civilisation for her own gratification seems to fit the bill!
and 3 because It's about as stupidly dumb as the rest of this Bantha DooDoo!
The Jedi did not look bad at all. The episode made the coven look bad and the Jedi justified. Still bad writing. And flammable floors?
Maybe they are looking for the $180mil with the metal detectors.
Spoiler: It's not hidden under Lesbian Witch Mountain. Nudey sith boy has taken it to craggy island.
The end.
They all got over paid so they could care less about what they are doing with the Star Wars universe. This will never be cannon to me.
Too much suspension of common sense disbelief is asked of me and I can’t immerse myself into the story even after a fat bong load. Just terrible. Terrible.
I kept FF it 10seconfs because I saw this already, until I got to 3 minutes left .. 3 minutes!! That whole episode and 3 minutes of new plot we got! That's all we got, 3 minutes of new footage
I actually forgot to watch yesterday's episode. THAT'S how bad this is. Complete disinterest and apathy. Am sure I am not the only one ☹️
Wonder if Disney will 'Willowize' this pile of crap, and take a 180 million dollar tax write down.......
Head space watch whilst dying after being impaled by a light saber "I was gonna let Osha go with you, that's what she wanted". Maybe lead with that next time instead of turning into a dementor
This show is insulting my intelligence and you really can't suspend your disbelief. Again, every episode confuses me with such abysmal writing and I have so many questions. This convoluted episode should have been episode 3, a longer version. This episode tells me that deleted scenes were just recently added and obviously there wasn't enough material for the show. The show looks unfinished and rushed. The one thing I didn't mind watching was the Kelnacca fight scene, even though it was so absurd. Aren't wookies known for ripping off limbs?
Indara acted like a superhero woman, easily taking down Kelnacca and performing a Vulcan mind meld to expunge the dark spirit/demon which somehow led to the witches death. I don't know whether breaking the demon/ spirit mind meld or Indara's strong force abilities killed the witches. The Jedi again didn't act like the zen like Jedi they are purported to be. Again, we are seeing women Jedi being the stoic, powerful ones emasculating the male jedi. Indara fighting with Sol was so out of place for Star Wars. Sadly, Carrie Anne's performance was so terrible and wooden.
Are these Jedi scientists? Why are they taking plant samples to find evidence of the vergence? And do Jedi now trespass? And Sol's creepy strong connection to Osha is a rip off of Qui Gon and Anakin in the Phantom menace. And how Mae acted angry with her forced stomping walk was so forced . Why didn't Sol use the force to save the twins? Why not use the blood test as evidence of the vergence.I could go on and on as there is so much wrong with this episode, again not making sense. This show is preposterous.
This franchise as far as movies go died after The Last Jedi. The TV shows died after Kenobi. The writing is a disgrace and KK and her ilk have destroyed Lucas's legacy. It's over for Star Wars people. They'd have to mothball this franchise for years and make Disney Star Wars non canon and start over. That isn't going to happen under this regime of Kennedy and Iger.
You watch the show, leads to hate, anger…. The Acolyte is you the viewer!
So episode 7 basically copies an episode we've already seen...
Headland still hasn't given me a reason to believe that killing the witches and saving the girls was a bad thing.
Severely disappointed that the power of *MANY* was defeated so easily.
this show should have been pitched as an animatic first, previewed by an audience of professionals, and then if deemed fit for a live action sequence, a budget should have been determined to fit the quality of storytelling, which i think should have been no more than 20million, and that's only cuz it wears the starwars logo on its sleeve.
This is turning out more like Velma with each episode, there's tons of pointless filler getting in the way of what could've otherwise been an interesting story
objectively the jedi are in the right. subjectively I like Sol so much I stay on his team
Torbin was in a trance for 10 years. That means he had 6 years to go from Padawan to Master. That kid matured quickly or did some extra credit work with his Master. 😉
The creator miss Headland did foolisk say in an interview that this story is to be played out over 3-4 seasons in total. Thats such a dangerous way to go about anything like this because it shows you arent focusing on a contained story
The other mother takes off her face paint to reveal the red and black and we get a gender swapped Darth Maul that was there the whole time, and the show ends. Stunning…
Thanks for watching the show for us Mr H.
Just another day of inconceivable buffoonery... 😅
Why is H destroying his Brain? 7 episodes deep? You could die of Brain Rot, after soo many Acolyte viewings.
Since they're one person split in two, are they gonna have to merge back together next week?
If that's so, how are they gonna do it? Will they resort to a teleporter, ala "The Fly?"
This episode told me that 1 the witches are stupid and got what they deserved when they started the fight.
2 Sol was right and had good intentions and did nothing wrong and only acted in defense of the children.
3 the zabrak lady is Qimirs master as she escaped and they mention he gets in your head like her mother did.
7 Dislikes from people (still) working at Disney
One person split in two - cool idea. There are nuggets of some cool stuff in this show that are annihilated by terrible writing, editing and acting...
As if we didn’t need more proof of Disney’s fast decline, they actually allowed this z-grade, CW level incompetence to air.
I have just watched the last ten minutes of Ep 7. I was curious about the song played for the end credits. It's a lot worse than I thought it was going to be. The set used in 1930 The Wizard of looked more realistic
KK and Headland have the dirt on Disney execs from their time with Weinstein. Being able to make this show is buying their silence.
Did you really expect it to get any better with Harvey Weinstein’s former assistant? Lol
