The Acolyte Has a Jedi Problem

The more I watch The Acolyte, the clearer it becomes that it lacks an understanding of Star Wars, particularly the Jedi. Let's examine who the Jedi are and identify what The Acolyte get wrong about them.

    Lore shows an amount of love and care especially when people are sharing a universe. If you can't be bothered to respect each other's work and try to have some kind of internal consistency, why bother having it be in the same universe at all? You just want to have laser swords and mystic powers? Good news, you can put those in whatever story you want without calling it Star Wars. Make it your whole own thing. Stop taking shortcuts and disrespecting the hard work of others by leeching off their work.

  • @techpriest6962
    @techpriest6962 29 дней назад

    Lore acts like an Outline, you need it to exist as a framework for stories in the setting. Otherwise your setting will lack constancy and ultimately meaning.

  • @psychodrummer1567
    @psychodrummer1567 29 дней назад

    First of all, lore allows for internal consistency of the work, especially if it doesn't stop at one installment - it gives sequels and spinoffs a starting point, if the story of the first one has been utterly completed. The Death Star is destroyed...but the Empire still exists, even if weakened. Second of all, it allows for context (of someone's actions, decisions, words), thus lending importance/gravitas to those. Aldeeran is just one random planet, but it's Leia's homeworld. Thirdly, it helps to establish stakes. Aforementioned Aldeeran is a planet, but it's gone in a second, etablishing Death Star as a massive threat. Fourthly, not all of the lore should be revealed in the principal work, since "history is a lie collectively agreed upon" - things get lost/forgotten or get covered up. Han did dump Jabba's cargo (since both acknowledge it), but those Star Destroyers he speaks of might not even been there at all. Fifthly, lore is only real if the reader/audience/player gets to experience it through the main character. Everything not observed/experienced/witnessed by them, only relayed directly - via third party, or indirectly - via messages, logs, is not reliable, therefore can be changed (intentionally or not) by whoever is conveying the information. After all, Obi-Wan *did* say that Vader killed Luke's father.

    As an amateur writer, lore helps me understand how much thought and passion has been put into a project. It really helps grounding a setting into reality, especially if you are setting the story in a non-real setting. Knowing how FTL works in Dune is fundamental to understanding the plot of the book, and the characters motivations amd actions. Btw knowing your lore works even if your setting is our world: I once heard of a series of books about a detective, but the series was set in Imperial Rome. You can't write something like that if you haven't studied a lot of history and literature from that period. Really nice video, made by a true nerd.

  • @rokourbajs1120
    @rokourbajs1120 Месяц назад

    For me, lore is crucial. What I really love about franchises is their complexity. It allows me to connect on a deeper level. I'd go even further by saying that I love lore more than the films and shows of franchises and other superficial, well-known media. I love Star Wars films and I love Marvel films, but in reality, the reason I deeply love this franchise is because of the lore. Because of the countless books, comics and games that don't build upon the movies, but rather, movies build upon them and their complex rules, if that makes sense.

    Hey man, nice video. I see your channel might me somewhat new so I just wanted to mention that imo you could make the sound a bit louder on your video, I regularly keep my computer volume level around the same as I browse youtube but I had to really bring up the volume in order to understand what you said on your video, perhaps you can just make it louder with editing. The intro is fine though, it sounds much louder than the rest of the video, but it's not too loud, it's the video that is a bit low imo. Anyway hope this didn't come off as annoying I was just dropping some info :D. Nice video man, and yeah Disney Star Wars suck and I absolutely agree that The Acolyte kind of puts to show about everything that is wrong with Disney Star Wars in one single media form lol, that and, even if you watch it WITHOUT being a Star Wars fan or knowing anything about Star Wars, it simply is very poorly written and paced.

    Tbh, i dropped Star Wars, a franchise i grew up with during my 90s childhood after the first episode of the madelorian. I was hoping that the series was going to be a bounty hunter doing bounty hunter things with some references but not reliant upon series necessities such as jedi. When it ended episode 1 with Baby Yoda; i gave up on it being a mandolorian show... but that the show was now about baby yoda. The obvious marketing ploy. Well, i also hate rogue one for how badly written in structure it is.

Sony has become arrogant towards gamers. Believe me, it will not be last time when they censor, Sony will follow woke, DEI and ESG agenda because its mandatory now in western companies. Cancel your PSplus and sign the petition FreeStellarBlade, we might have hope and if they still dont listen to us, its clear signal to move on and leave Sony fall on its own stupidity.

    I've said it before It's not _just_ the outfits. It's bigger than the outfits. It's bigger than Stellar Blade. Sony has been censoring Asian games for some time now, while letting other countries get away with far more. It's a hypocritical double standard. Stellar Blade is just the first time something with a large enough social interest has gotten the attention of the masses. There's a chance for real change here. #FreeStellarBlade

    The hilarious part about all this: Shift Up is using this outcry of people whining their waifu's aren't masturbation bait anymore for free press. They sell millions of copies, "fan" backlash puts the controversy all over Reddit, Gamefaqs, and the internet as a whole giving them free advertising, and and worst, they end up refunding maybe 10% of the games. Which is also telling about who only bought the game for Eve and her oversexualization.

      @darkfire8008 3 месяца назад

      @@GarryGri What rage bait are you seeing? I listened to the video thoroughly. Sony is "censoring" Stellar Blade, is that enough summation? Is it because of the "woke agenda"? Most likely not. And if it truly is, what better way to get the "masses" to give your game free press than to let them tout it as the "Savior of AAA titles." Unless Shift Up's president, or whoever was commenting on it, was just putting a bold face lie to cover up Sony's actions(doubt it given Asian cultures usually run on a strong honor system). I mean, come on, anyone asking for a refund under false advertisement's best claim is: "My game character's skin is not longer showing on her tits, ass, and thighs. I was promised naked skin on tits, ass, and thighs." Course, they'll refund it since the claims are technically true; however, it's violence(which usually is a hue no-no in Eastern Markets) is still there in it's full uncensored glory. So yes, when the dust is finally settled over this whole debacle. Shift Up will still be in the green, the "censorship" will still be there, and everyone who didn't buy the game because it promised a relief from the, let's count... maybe 10 western games with "Ugly"(though very, very undefined term usually just resorting to the age old: "I don't find them attractive.") woman characters. Which it still does mind you. Eve is still highly sexualized, honestly, the engineer clothes is just a bunny suit with a jacket thrown on top, literal lingerie, more skin than your average tik tok thot if you will(though funny they're looked down on while Eve is pedestaled by these very people).
