Star Wars The Acolyte has fully entered it's pitch for season 2 era. Yet despite lots of interviews from Leslye Headland and Manny Jacinto, Amandla Stenberg is noticeably absent. Is this because she turned into a marketing disaster antagonising the fans? Manny Jacinto is mostly talking about the thirst and his future season 2 relationship with Osha. You would expect Amandla to be there pushing that angle as well, yet no sign of her. Meanwhile Leslye Headland explains the themes of the finale which turns out to be both creepy and REALLY thirsty.

What’s impressive is with all the money involved in this there was not a lick of true talent to be found. The actors probably could’ve done better work (or at least some of them) with a far better script, which is probably giving a lot of them more credit than they deserve but i’ve seen things with minuscule budgets make far better end products. I mean, I’ve been seeing peoples fan projects and they look better than a lot of the fight scenes in the acolyte. Every single part of this show is mediocre and that’s really saying something for something that cost $200 million essentially.
Leslie Headlamp: Darth Plagueis is asexual! He's only interested in his relationship with the Force. Fans: So he's straight? Because the 'Force is female'... Leslie Headlamp: 😠
It's not even just that he didn't know who did it. No sane person thinks blowing up the death star was immoral or evil in any way. Yes, it is unfortunate some janitors and some people who were probably forced to be troopers by draft died, but it was a military base capable of killing billions and the empire had already shown they would 100% use it even for fairly minor things.
*What could’ve been:* ✅ Sith perspective story similar to Darth Plagueis or Darth Bane novels; Sith warrior and inquisitor stories from SWTOR. ✅ Mature and grounded story similar to Andor but with the mysticism of the Dark Side. In-depth look at Sith philosophy as we follow a master/apprentice two vs an entire galaxy story. ✅ Well-written Sith protagonists part of a two-person organization in a thousand-year conspiracy to upset the Galactic status-quo. ✅ New Star Wars timeline. Reality: ❌ The Acolyte…. “The power of one, the power of two. The power of many.”
Mae: can you off yourself by drinking this gamer gurl bath water, pretty please? Tim Pool looking “Jedi”: Sure thing! You’re lucky this story is on Game Journalist difficulty.
The thing that gets me about the whole Torbin character is that he's portrayed as someone who's guilty of something horrible by Mae and should be killed. When all that happened was he was a guy who got mind-r*ped by a cult of darkside users, treated like crap by everyone (even his master), got mentally and physically scarred, and was so distraught over it that he went into seclusion for a decade, only to finally be gaslit into killing himself by one of the people tangentially responsible for his r*pe. The Acolyte takes "victim-blaming" to a whole new level.
When your as incompetent in acting as Amadela and morally evil as Leslie what else could be expected from The Acolyte...and we were still disappointed! that takes terrible talent to fail at failure

Lesbian headline is by far the worst thing to happen to Star Wars. How she can claim to be a fan of kotor and absolutely fail to understand the sith race, the sith tradition, and the rule of two is most highly regarded

~7:35 I don't use this word often but that take is definitely demonic. These people think they're our betters when they say that murderers aren't given agency. I'd say it's unbelievable but sadly, it's not.
How these people can say that women and gays aren't represented or accepted in society when we're literally not even allowed to criticize them even on merit without being ostracized and called all kinds of demeaning names is INSANE!
thanks to screen writers unions there are 20 writers - none of whom need to know anything about Star Wars, sci-fi or even movies. 8 year olds could write more coherent tales than disney. the movies and tv shows will NEVER be any good if the story-tellers suck!

He only has himself to blame. Lucas could’ve sold his shares to Peltz as a fuck you to Iger, but held on because he is unable to follow his own advice and “let go”
lucas always believed his own bullshit the more fans fed his ego. the more people claimed he was a 'creative genius' the more deeper philosophy he began to attribute to it. he's a marketing and business genius, but it's arguable he never had an original story idea in his life. were he the 'creative genius' fan bois claim, he would have always been making movies -- and good ones for the most part -- but, the sad reality of it is he ran out of semi-autobiographical material and IP from his childhood to steal. then he got fat and lazy, and what we got was the product of that and a guy surrounded by yes men when he's not being a hermit.

I think the dude is the only honest of the group lol. He is doing his part and for doing so, he is being slap right and left with questions that nobody bothered to explain to the dude...I don't think the writers or the director know what they are doing or how to make the story to make sense.
The showrunner and writers decided "canon doesn't matter" despite writing in someone else's franchise, so... yeah. It's the "postmodern Libertarian writer" mindset, which boils down to the infantile yell, "Freedom of expression means I can do whatever I want! You can't tell me what to do! I define what Star Wars is!"
Why don't all those "writers" and "producers" just get jobs in the adult industry... They are clearly, at best, on that level of story writing and they would free us from their "talents"
Because if these people got anywhere near that industry you know that a bunch of women with penises would be all over the straight section… do you really want that…
They looked at Lightsabers......as phallic symbols..... You know what? I think i'm done with Star Wars, i'm so tired of how hard they've murdered this franchise.
After his commentary asking what Headlamp intended for Manny's trick lightsaber to be if she's treating lightsabers as phallic symbols... Well, what must she think is going on with various other lightsaber designs that have come up throughout the franchise then? Darth Maul's double bladed saber. Kylo Ren's crossguard saber. Her wife's light whip. Ezra Bridger's saber that's also a blaster. The Mandalorians' Darksaber. Those spinning sabers used by the Inquistors in Star Wars Rebels. Parodies have done some things, too. When they "got their Schwartz twisted" in Spaceballs. Or all of the over the top swiss army knife sabers in that Phineas and Ferb special that parodied A New Hope. Or just anything else that's ever included something lightsaber-like that they'd give a different name to (such as a "light sword" or a "beam saber") might have some oddities as well. The Smash Bros games come to mind. Doesn't the beam sword in Smash Bros. double in length for a split second during each strike? I seem to recall it doing that.
you should take a look at the concept art for the lightsabers in acolyte. All those cool designs and we get arizona tea cans as the final product. 180 million and they cant even make the lightsabers cool. guess the concept art wasnt "phalic" enough for her
What in the fck did leaving Mae with 8 y/o memories have anything to do with anything???? They fcking blamed Sol. She played ZERO part in staying. Why didn't she go with her sister?? WHY?? I'm serious?
If a wave of a hand can mind wipe someone, why have fights where someone dies. Just wave your hand and they stand there with blank looks on their face. Oh wait, they had blank looks on their face anyways. The Jedis didn't have to die. They could have been mind wiped. If you bring in some super power from out of the blue, then why not use it in most situations?
@@dlewis9760 A Sith poking around in someone's head, willingly or not, should cause some discomfort for the target. In EU see Kyp Durron and in DisCrap see Kylo torturing Poe and Rey. Acolyte makes it appear as simple and pain-free as breathing.
I think the idea was that leaving Mae behind would be a distraction--the Jedi would blame and arrest her, leaving Osha and Smilo free to run off, whereas, if Mae came with them, they would know someone else must be around and hunt for them. that's my best guess. Of course, it falls apart immediately because Smilo knows his old master is there and has to know that she is aware of his presence, so trying to throw her off the scent by leaving a lobotomite behind is completely pointless. It'd be like a crooked cop planting a weapon on a guy he shot...knowing that he's being recorded on CCTV.
I keep thinking of Homer when he tries to 'explain' his float to a football stadium and asks everyone to be quiet... Booing ensued. An apt response to how LH tries to explain her 'decisions'.
I thought interviews mid-season with Nerdist and Collider were scraping the bottom of the barrel, but now it seems that Headland is dead set on digging to the earth's core. Sweetie, if it wasn't on screen, it didn't happen. It doesn't matter what your intentions were. We all saw different.
I've been on the acolyte subreddit and wow you won't believe the stuff I've heard there. Not only do they believe and condemn the review bombing the show received, but now that the series needs more views in order to get a season 2, they're telling everyone to just let the acolyte play in the background on repeat while they do whatever. First of all, this is just confirming there wasn't any review bombing because otherwise why would they need to keep playing it on repeat to up the views, Second, they don't see the hypocrisy of condemning sending fake reviews to lower the score artificially when they're playing the show for no one to watch in order to up the viewership artificially.
Because she won't shut up. She's grasping at whatever life lines (in the shape of interviews) that gets tossed her way. She's talking BS. If by chance she gets her season 2, she's now kind of promised that this word vomit has to be put into the plot.
Put a "docile" young woman in her wife's hands to "educate". This certainly doesn't sound like someone who engages in activities that often have the word "serial" in front of it.
Leslye Headland: "There's this thing that's called benign sexism, and part of it is this paternal protectionism." Me: "Tell me you have daddy issues without telling me you have daddy issues."
her talking about someone exploiting a docile woman that can be "re-educated" literally makes my skin crawl. Like Mae is basically an 8 year old again. I guess i shouldnt be surprised considering she was weinsteins personal assistant, just writing what she knows best
bazil helped create the situation in which she got cuffed. he was bloody standing next to sol when mae was knocked out. hell, theres a strong implication sol only knew she was a threat to knock out because bazil told him
Can we just fire anyone from a creative position who is obsessing (positively) over this whole sexualize villains thing? It's utterly uninteresting and destructive.
There's GOTTA be some bootleg, dark web lightsaber shaped "tools" out there after this. You know over a BILLION dollars a YEAR are spent on those "tools" that go in the bedside nightstand, but MEN are the supposed pre-verts with nothing but bedroom fun on the mind 🤦
Don't believe any deep thoughts from her. She's making it up as she goes along. The Acolyte isn't canon? The Acolyte canon isn't canon between episodes and scenes in episodes.
No, Bazi's "Hero Moment" wasn't when it started yanking wires, that was its turn to the Dark Side. Its actual "Hero Moment" was when it did that stupid little mating dance and dry-humped Mae's leg - THAT...was it's "Hero Moment". Also, why isn't Bazil dead? He knows everything and could blow the lid off all of it. Vernestra should've laser whipped Bazil so hard...Qimir would've felt it.
Its amazing. Not content to ruin Luke Skywalker, Boba Fett, Ahsoka Tano or Grand Admiral Thrawn, Disney must now also ruin Darth Plagueis. Its like they've made a hitlist of all my favorite Star Wars characters. Now I'm just waiting for them to ruin Emperor Palpatine and their violation of my favorite IP will be complete.
Can people stop acting as if "Disney" is one entity or even a person, who has nothing better to do to ruin everyone's childhood for no reason? A 21st century corporation only wants to 1. make money and 2. not get sued by "offended people" on the Left _and_ Right. Put the blame where it belongs: The Acolyte's showrunner and writers... who are blatantly given free reign to do whatever because of ideology politics and connections.
Acolyte is what happens when this post modern moral relative BS is taken to the extreme. Even if someone as overrated as Tony Gilroy were to write the script and stretch it out at 3X the length, it is still complete trash. “Jedi are bad, Sith and Space Lesb0s good” Was the whole message for this series all along.
They took that cringey line from Episode 3 and turned it into a whole series, but a DEI version. “fRoM mY pOiNt oF vIeW tHe jEdI aRe eViL” season 2 is gonna be so great…
@@Etherman7 Honestly, it’s like they bought into Palpatine’s “good is a point of view” line in episode 3 without even understanding that it was Palps trying to gaslight Anakin into turning to the Dark Side.
@@Etherman7 If season 2 gets made, RUclipsr "Mr H Reviews" says he'll make enough money off of the videos about this show to buy a classic Toyota Celica.
It was strange that Leslye had to come out after each episode to explain what we had just watched from the Acolyte. I've never really seen that happen before.
The IMDB score was down at 3.3 where it belongs and has managed to climb up to the ethereal heights of... 3.9 ! That's still straight to DVD bargain table score.
Meh, it's more like they are over compensating. It's like when female comedians or rappers have to be "even more dirty/vulgar" to "show the boys"... It always has cringe results.
@@Zeetana1 yeah, that’s a fair refining correction. Hollywood/elite women are more obsessed with vulgarity to fit in with their caste. Overcompensation is cringe
YEP and sex. In fact, I think women are bigger perverts than men too and want power more than men too. Honestly, I think MOST negative things women attribute to men I think is them projecting their own self-hatred for how THEY act. Women do it all the time.
So we have osha n jecki flirting in episode 4 then jecki is brutally murdered in front of osha then she just forgets it completely and starts lusting for smilo?! Wtf ?! I imagine there’s a much longer directors cut of this mess and dear god I’d love it to get leaked

I mean, I’ve been seeing peoples fan projects and they look better than a lot of the fight scenes in the acolyte. Every single part of this show is mediocre and that’s really saying something for something that cost $200 million essentially.

Ah yes, the time Anakin destroyed the Death Star.
It's not even just that he didn't know who did it. No sane person thinks blowing up the death star was immoral or evil in any way. Yes, it is unfortunate some janitors and some people who were probably forced to be troopers by draft died, but it was a military base capable of killing billions and the empire had already shown they would 100% use it even for fairly minor things.

*What could’ve been:*
✅ Sith perspective story similar to Darth Plagueis or Darth Bane novels; Sith warrior and inquisitor stories from SWTOR.
✅ Mature and grounded story similar to Andor but with the mysticism of the Dark Side. In-depth look at Sith philosophy as we follow a master/apprentice two vs an entire galaxy story.
✅ Well-written Sith protagonists part of a two-person organization in a thousand-year conspiracy to upset the Galactic status-quo.
✅ New Star Wars timeline.
Reality:
❌ The Acolyte…. “The power of one, the power of two. The power of many.”
The younglings bullied Anakin. They called him jailbait, and old man.

The thing that gets me about the whole Torbin character is that he's portrayed as someone who's guilty of something horrible by Mae and should be killed.
When all that happened was he was a guy who got mind-r*ped by a cult of darkside users, treated like crap by everyone (even his master), got mentally and physically scarred, and was so distraught over it that he went into seclusion for a decade, only to finally be gaslit into killing himself by one of the people tangentially responsible for his r*pe.

Lesbian headline is by far the worst thing to happen to Star Wars.

~7:35 I don't use this word often but that take is definitely demonic. These people think they're our betters when they say that murderers aren't given agency. I'd say it's unbelievable but sadly, it's not.
Many writers and yet not one braincell between them.
How these people can say that women and gays aren't represented or accepted in society when we're literally not even allowed to criticize them even on merit without being ostracized and called all kinds of demeaning names is INSANE!
If they say gays where accepted and represented, Leslie would to have to admit her show sucks and she is a bad writer
thanks to screen writers unions there are 20 writers - none of whom need to know anything about Star Wars, sci-fi or even movies. 8 year olds could write more coherent tales than disney. the movies and tv shows will NEVER be any good if the story-tellers suck!
It's like in elementary school, where they give everyone a square of a mural and tell you to decorate it however you like. When it's all put together, it's ugly as sin.
But the writer room is very diverse.
The power of Disparu makes the Acolyte seem like a laugh-filled romp through the moribund Star Wars universe.
Kudos to him.
I wish George Lucas had listened to his own advice in 1997
He only has himself to blame. Lucas could’ve sold his shares to Peltz as a fuck you to Iger, but held on because he is unable to follow his own advice and “let go”
lucas always believed his own bullshit the more fans fed his ego. the more people claimed he was a 'creative genius' the more deeper philosophy he began to attribute to it. he's a marketing and business genius, but it's arguable he never had an original story idea in his life. were he the 'creative genius' fan bois claim, he would have always been making movies -- and good ones for the most part -- but, the sad reality of it is he ran out of semi-autobiographical material and IP from his childhood to steal. then he got fat and lazy, and what we got was the product of that and a guy surrounded by yes men when he's not being a hermit.

What a terribly spoilt little brat this has been . In a way I guess child abuse really … allowing a person to believe they’re something they’re definitely not….. at all!!!!!
Sol letting Qimir off with a warning in episode 2 has to be the dumbest decision for a character on a TV show ever.
Every commentator should be referring to her as “Danish actress, Amandla Stenberg” every time they mention her
I think the dude is the only honest of the group lol. He is doing his part and for doing so, he is being slap right and left with questions that nobody bothered to explain to the dude...I don't think the writers or the director know what they are doing or how to make the story to make sense.
The showrunner and writers decided "canon doesn't matter" despite writing in someone else's franchise, so... yeah.
It's the "postmodern Libertarian writer" mindset, which boils down to the infantile yell, "Freedom of expression means I can do whatever I want! You can't tell me what to do! I define what Star Wars is!"
Why don't all those "writers" and "producers" just get jobs in the adult industry... They are clearly, at best, on that level of story writing and they would free us from their "talents"
At least adult films have climaxes
Because if these people got anywhere near that industry you know that a bunch of women with penises would be all over the straight section… do you really want that…
The worst part is that they said star wars is for kids....
People working in that field have to produce things that are appealing to audiences, not just themselves.
Because weirdly there isnt much money in porn. Who tf pays for porn these days?
They looked at Lightsabers......as phallic symbols.....
You know what? I think i'm done with Star Wars, i'm so tired of how hard they've murdered this franchise.
what kind of crazy person sees a sword shaped death laser and thinks, "i miss my dildo"
Imagine what would happen if you sensually shoved a Light Sabre up your....
After his commentary asking what Headlamp intended for Manny's trick lightsaber to be if she's treating lightsabers as phallic symbols... Well, what must she think is going on with various other lightsaber designs that have come up throughout the franchise then? Darth Maul's double bladed saber. Kylo Ren's crossguard saber. Her wife's light whip. Ezra Bridger's saber that's also a blaster. The Mandalorians' Darksaber. Those spinning sabers used by the Inquistors in Star Wars Rebels.
Parodies have done some things, too. When they "got their Schwartz twisted" in Spaceballs. Or all of the over the top swiss army knife sabers in that Phineas and Ferb special that parodied A New Hope.
Or just anything else that's ever included something lightsaber-like that they'd give a different name to (such as a "light sword" or a "beam saber") might have some oddities as well. The Smash Bros games come to mind. Doesn't the beam sword in Smash Bros. double in length for a split second during each strike? I seem to recall it doing that.
you should take a look at the concept art for the lightsabers in acolyte. All those cool designs and we get arizona tea cans as the final product. 180 million and they cant even make the lightsabers cool. guess the concept art wasnt "phalic" enough for her
For "Representation" I'm surprised there wasn't a huge black light, light saber.
What in the fck did leaving Mae with 8 y/o memories have anything to do with anything???? They fcking blamed Sol. She played ZERO part in staying. Why didn't she go with her sister?? WHY?? I'm serious?
If a wave of a hand can mind wipe someone, why have fights where someone dies. Just wave your hand and they stand there with blank looks on their face. Oh wait, they had blank looks on their face anyways. The Jedis didn't have to die. They could have been mind wiped. If you bring in some super power from out of the blue, then why not use it in most situations?
@@dlewis9760 A Sith poking around in someone's head, willingly or not, should cause some discomfort for the target. In EU see Kyp Durron and in DisCrap see Kylo torturing Poe and Rey. Acolyte makes it appear as simple and pain-free as breathing.
You really think the writers have any sense of logic? LMAO
@@littleluxiathey don't and it's so frustrating to people with brains...
I think the idea was that leaving Mae behind would be a distraction--the Jedi would blame and arrest her, leaving Osha and Smilo free to run off, whereas, if Mae came with them, they would know someone else must be around and hunt for them. that's my best guess. Of course, it falls apart immediately because Smilo knows his old master is there and has to know that she is aware of his presence, so trying to throw her off the scent by leaving a lobotomite behind is completely pointless. It'd be like a crooked cop planting a weapon on a guy he shot...knowing that he's being recorded on CCTV.
Seems like everything these days gets worse the more it's explained.

I've been on the acolyte subreddit and wow you won't believe the stuff I've heard there. Not only do they believe and condemn the review bombing the show received, but now that the series needs more views in order to get a season 2, they're telling everyone to just let the acolyte play in the background on repeat while they do whatever.
First of all, this is just confirming there wasn't any review bombing because otherwise why would they need to keep playing it on repeat to up the views,
Second, they don't see the hypocrisy of condemning sending fake reviews to lower the score artificially when they're playing the show for no one to watch in order to up the viewership artificially.
The views are counted per account, so thier desperate attempt is dumb, which is to be expected from those zombies

He knows everything and could blow the lid off all of it. Vernestra should've laser whipped Bazil so hard...Qimir would've felt it.

Acolyte is what happens when this post modern moral relative BS is taken to the extreme. Even if someone as overrated as Tony Gilroy were to write the script and stretch it out at 3X the length, it is still complete trash. “Jedi are bad, Sith and Space Lesb0s good” Was the whole message for this series all along.
