So according to Leslie, Sol deserve death for being presumptive/paternalistic with Osha, but Anissa gets a pass for pushing witchery on her over protests, Horn-Mom never has it acknowledge she physically abused Mae and started the fight with the Jedi unilaterally, and Mae never has to admit let alone answer for being creepy and possessive of her sister to the point of attempting to murder her over Osha wanting her own path in life and an identity other than “Mae’s pushover twin”.
No. Mae did admit to attempting to kill her sister. Right at the end and then Osha forgave her. It's just that that makes it worse because you don't forgive attempted murder after a simple apology over a decade later especially when that attempted murder also burned down your home and the attempted murderer never acknowledged why she was wrong to do so.

I think my favorite part of this is when Basil cuts the wires and everyone goes: "Basil... Bro?", then Rags went from indifferent to cursing him whenever he shows up.
I wonder what would Qui-Gon, Mace Windu and Obi-Wan think if they know that the reason they are all dead is because Yoda helped Venestra cover up the crimes of her padawan and frame it on the hero like Sol. Sol’s force ghost must be laughing his ass off when Palpatine did the Order 66 against the Jedi.
Naw cuz Qui-Gon is the first person to learn to force ghost which is why the rise of Skywalker is stupid she absorbed force ghosts that didn't exist...
If the rumors are true that KK wants to leave after getting a win she’s going to be there for a LONG time, this is the same person who was “moved to tears” by the power of the MANYYYY!!!! In simple terms, the franchise is beyond cooked and all we can do is sit back and the clown show.
I love how efap speculating the disappointing conclusion to the things writers are setting up, but they are actually giving the writers to much credit. Wait, no i dont!
Torbins tragedy would have been better if Carrie Moss said sometging like “out job as Jedi is to seek knowledge in the force” and so, wanting to prove himself and learn, he sees the witches doing magic and goes to ask them questions. They corrupt him and Torbin fights the other Jedi while amped up by witch magic. He breaks free of the spell and he regrets not knowing the difference between light and dark. Then in the final confrontation between withces and Jedi he rushes in headstrong for revenge and then the rest plays out. He allowed himself to fall and then he didnt learn from it and became aggressive which caused the deaths of dozens of space witches
Even then they fail. The kid flips out and rushes in because he was mind graped they get into an armed conflict because of horn mom Sol kills the boss witch because she offered no explanation before turning into a nazghul then the others all cast a hostile spell that will kill them if broken and that the enemy has the obvious powers and obvious need to break. At every possible phase the jedi were forced into action, their only sin was failing to accurately report the incident.
Nah, a Sith would write something better. This is just a former predator's partner in crime lez filled agenda fantasies within the framework of a predator filled company that wants to takeover young people's heads with this sort of thing;
So, regarding the whole "the Jedi are an evil cult that kidnaps children" thing... before the dark times of Disney, in the EU, it was not only possible to leave the Jedi Order if you wanted (though admittely, such cases were rare), the Jedi would outright throw you out if your training did not progress enough. If you were a certain age and no Master took you on as their Padawan, you wouldn't stay a Youngling forever, you would have to leave the order. In the Republic Commando books, a Padawan thinks about how she narrowly avoided the fate of going back to her home planet and using her meager force powers to help crops grow thanks to her Master choosing her, something she was very thankful for. Though I think it is still somewhat unclear what the Jedi would do if parents would not want to part with their child, the position of "we are gonna make sure the child is trained and not a danger to anyone, and they can leave and return to their family after sufficent training should they choose to" is quite reasonable in the circumstances, all things considered. Certainly more reasonable than a certain Witch-Cult I could mention...
In the EU, if a youngling/padawan failed to progress in their Jedi training, they were allowed to serve in other areas such as humanitarian work and logistics.
Tbh Jedis in Lucas canon are basically local judges/moral guides/borderline religious figures. Like if a bunch of people from the Vatican showed up and told you that your child might become the pope of a planet you would probably like them to take the child
It's not as if the premise of the whole show isn't braindead already, but one small thing that always annoyed me was that "the skillset of the Jedi is non-transferable" bunk in EP1. The Jedi weren't just about lightsabers and the Force; they were also diplomats, ambassadors, investigators, and a whole bunch more. That's an extremely diverse skill-set. Even if she only received basic training, unless she was a monumental failure at learning any of that, there's no way she couldn't have landed some cushy job within the Republic by referencing that "Hey, I'm from the Jedi Temple", especially when it's pretty obvious that not all kids would make the cut and so there should already be established channels for employing them elsewhere. Heck, wasn't it implied that, in-universe, Palpatine's backstory was that he was a drop-out? Or was it some other Senator? In any case, it kind of shows that those skills are very much transferable.
Even nonlearned skills exist for force sensitive. They naturally have enhanced reflexes/precognition. It's been stated(idk when or where) that if Anakin had never been trained, he still would have become a universally renowned podracer.
@@SolarDragon007Which kind of contradicts what we see and what is mentioned in the films and TV as Dooku and Ahsoka both leave the Jedi Order voluntarily. Which also brings up the issue of so many failed Jedi falling to the Dark Side if its as dangerous as it is portrayed as.
"Well the Jedi are clearly lying. There's FOUR Jedi here, they are obviously lying about thinking the planet was uninhabited and they've even been spying on them for probably a while." Then it turns out the Jedi were completely honest and they weren't even spying on them. Sol just saw them in the forest, which is a totally public location not like inside their settlement AT ALL, so it's not spying, and then they greeted the locals they GENUINELY didn't know was there. Somehow. It's just so retarded it's obvious that there's something else there, but then there just isn't.
It's funny seeing how the predictions of the crew turn out. It's funny when they're right, but also funny when they're wrong because usually it is because they were too charitable and assumed a chain of logic.
2:31:40 Damn, I've never considered maximizing my defenses, I always thought I'll just keep that dial turned down somewhat. Golly am I glad to receive a Jedi's lessons in swordplay.
Sol being the bad guy is Akin to Rian Johnson telling us Admiral Holdo is a Hero. The owners of Star Wars have leaned into RJs vision, hardcore. They are LOST!
5:38:50 probably the ONLY defence I can Muster for this show in this scene (not that anybody cares) is it seems like Sol is trying to recuple/dock with the smaller ship. There is no reason to get spitting distance close with a target to fire on it, (which would only make you crash into an exploding ship) and when he flicks the switch on the console you can hear a 'clacking" sound, which may indicate the coupling clamps engaging. It is just for whatever reason the scene is shot as though trying to make the audience (or Beaver boy) think he is trying to kill her.. Just fake suspense and an excuse for Mae to escape. ^.-.^ There, daily Devil's advocation quota met.
Funny how none of the jedi know what PIP is. Yord thinks she's reaching for a weapon in episode 1. And in episode 2 Sol asks what pip is (while murder suspect is syncing it to their ship) and yet in the last episodes Mae finds a PILE of the pip lower units INSIDE THE JEDIS SHIP!....
I still don't even know why PIP is a fucking droid. It cannot walk, it cannot operate machinery on its own, it cannot active tech at a distance, it needs to be charged, it's for some reason filled with some kind of oil like substance, its main use is a fucking flashlight. Why is it a droid!? That's SO much extra technology to shove into such a SMALL object for NO advantage! And if it's so fucking useful, WHY DOESN'T ANYONE ELSE HAVE ONE!? There were TONS of R2 units and Protocol droids. R2 and C3PO were NOT unique droids, fuck's sake, even the sequels put like ONE other BB8 droid in the movies, but this stone faced bitch has the ONLY pip droid in the galaxy.
Never in the field of human conflict have so many TIPPLES! been twissled, by so few. We are truly blessed to be living in the absolute best and non-tismy timeline.
Ryans absolutely right at 3:02:01 it wasn't just Disney, it all started with Filoni fucking with all aspects, inputting his own self insert characters, as well as pissing over the mystique of the force. Sad part is Lucas fucked up by letting too much slide with the clone wars because he was so blinded by his greed for merchandising. Ultimately he forgot what sold so much merchandise, it was because of good story telling and all that effort to make a truly unique universe.
One of the worst crimes of Doucheney "She Bores" is how often they use idiom and language from our society. Lucas knew not to use phrases we recognize in order to keep a galaxy far, far away... far, far away. "The Woke-alyte" does this way more than any other offering from the Rat, and it's really jarring. Thanks, Lezzye! 😬
I'm convinced that the show-runners had so little idea what they actually did, that I'd love for someone to address Leslie(?) and be like, "So The Acolyte was basically about the tragedy of Jedi being blamed for events that were instigated by antagonistic entities, and evil essentially prevailing in spite of all rationale. What inspired you to go this narrative route?"
Wow, so they wrote this in a way where bad people can cover for other bad people and never be investigated. The good die young and pricks live forever.
Near a dozen Jedi who were actively following the beaver managed to lose sight of him and were incapable of keeping track of the one person they needed to keep track of to not get lost in this super dangerous Jedi killing jungle.
For the kind of budgets these shows have, they should be able to hire the best writers in the world. And yet time and time again, we get sub fanfic tier writing, and I wish that was an exaggeration. Forget good writing, at this point I dont even expect them to get the basics down like character motivation and time. It's hard to wrap my head around.
Who here rewatching this after the news of the cancelation, huge W. But now they have no way to explain why yoda/mundi didn't know about sith or what was the way to "take out one without an weapon" - despite how he clearly took out all those jedis with an weapon -
There's nothing theoretically wrong with saying "To be a proper bad dude, you need to choke a bitch with the force". That is very dark side. And, canonically, force choking someone to death is genuinely very hard to do. The force doesn't like to kill things, you have to be strong and driven by the dark to do it. So there is the germ of a good idea somewhere. And it would be very Sith to say that sure, you can be good with a lightsabre, but the force is your real weapon. That ties to stuff like Palpatine in the OT not even having a light sabre because he was so into the force lightning. If we tell this story we can actually preserve that Vader and Palpatine are scary and powerful, because we can show our acolytes actually struggling to do it, and maybe having to lightsabre someone who broke free and getting mad about it. Just... You can make a good story about "An acolyte does not need a lightsabre". So why the hell do we have all of this nonsense which has NOTHING to do with that? The whole series is only eight episodes long! Were they that desperate to fill time?
From my understanding, based upon the old Obi-wan Kenobi novels where he first became Qui-gon’s padawan, and a couple other books, the Jedi were willingly called by the parents/communities/planets where force sensitive children were suspected (although there wasn’t any law about it as far as I’m aware). Some basic tests would be done there, depending on how old the child was, and then options given. We can take and train your child (standard padawan story, limit familial connections as young as possible), or not. It was the parent’s choice, and if the answer was no they’d be given advice on how to deal with/raise the kid going forward since there was a decent chance they’d be special, but odds are without training they’d just be hyper talented (like Anakin being an amazing pilot). Sure as hell was nothing like they showed in this poor excuse of a show. Edit for spelling.
Which goes to show how small in scale Star Wars is as a whole when a galaxy of hundreds of trillions only produces 10,000 Jedi at their peak with almost noone outside of it.
2:29:32 that 'sink' is the droid that was around the meat mines where Obi Wan was working on. The one that also had cgi vapor for its whistle, as Metal pointed out, to signify the end of the shift. Now, it might have been a droid with a sink on top or something really dumb like that, which wouldn't change anything in the end. So yea, long story short, it's a Sink Droid. Go watch the first episode of Obi Wan if you wanna see the wretched thing lol. Edit: Is this your webzone, Mauler? Lol
Weren't yellow/orange lightsabers supposed to be very rare and special? And didn't the blue and green ones both have their own affinities, and since those two were more common paths to tread, you would see those more? I mean, it's not like I spent half my life immersed in Star Wars lore when it still existed, or anything. But uhm, yeah. Duck Fisney.
4:24:06 - this whip was definitely added in post! She goes from holding a straight blade with two hands to whipping the bug with one hand in a frame! But why?!?! To point and say “Look! A Star Wars’ first!” I thought we were over the whole “first” fab …
I started watching this EFAP compilation, and realised, I don't give a shit about the Acolyte SO MUCH, that I won't even "watch" it through our lads reacting. What a waste of 200 millions dollars, OMEGALOL.
This is supposed to be the third iteration as previous test screenings hated the show. I am curious to see those previous versions to see how bad it really was
It really baffles me that the people who worked on this show think the Jedi are the bad guys. The only thing I can think that might have been bad was trespassing. Anyway, this show is incredibly bad
I don’t know which is more hilarious.. This sheet metric ton of what the crew _PERFECTLY_ predicted… Or the specific things they got wrong. I.e. “there’s no way this will end up the worst Disney Star Wars yet…” 💀💀💀💀
Is it just me or does Amandla seem like she’s trying to make her voice sound more deep than it really is? She’s a remarkably terrible actress esp considering this entire mess was created FOR her specifically ..
Does that saber lesson remind anybody else of Gahlladrel's bullshit instructions in Rings of Power? Keep it tight yet subtle, but also simple and strong.
I could swear there was a thing called a training saber, which was just a real light saber, but only powerful enough to shock. Like a hand buzzer lightsaber.
In Legends novel Dark Lord: Rise of Darth Vader, a jedi was discovered by the Order as a boy but his father called the jedi while the mother didn't want to give him up. As he trained he refused to partake in the Order's branch that was responsible for finding new apprentices. He was reunited with his mother while the Jedi Purge was underway.
I distinctly remember there being a whole bit in the prequels about basic lightsaber safety, control, and attention to where it is being like this very fundamental part of Jedi training. But I guess we don't need that for Pissney lightbats.
The reason cortosis isn't everywhere is 1. Like they already said, it's fucking awful to work with. You couldn't get a sharpened edge out of one if you tried. And 2. The big one this show forgot, It's fucking fragile. Like, if you tried to make a vibro knife which is standard fare for clone troopers, it would shake itself apart. You could literslly snap a cortosis sword in half with bear hands and smash cortosis armor with a good club. The moment the jedi saw "Smilo" and his stupid helmet. It would be one force empowered smack away from being dust.
You can tell a certain weird type of women wrote smile-o-ren because he's constantly sexualised. They probably constantly watch true crime documentaries, have an obsession with Jeffery Dahmer, and love Twilight.

6 and a half hours and cost no where near $180 million. Id say this was a really good video.
I think my favorite part of this is when Basil cuts the wires and everyone goes: "Basil... Bro?", then Rags went from indifferent to cursing him whenever he shows up.
This TV series would only be like 2 episodes long if they just arrested and read the mind of Qimir.
It should have only been one as Trinity should have beaten Mae easily and read her mind to discover the location of her master.
Well it’s official: Acolyte Season 2 is cancelled, apparently because of “racism”.
Soooooo…
RACISM WINS AGAIN WOOOOOO.
I wonder what would Qui-Gon, Mace Windu and Obi-Wan think if they know that the reason they are all dead is because Yoda helped Venestra cover up the crimes of her padawan and frame it on the hero like Sol.
Sol’s force ghost must be laughing his ass off when Palpatine did the Order 66 against the Jedi.
Yoda vs. Palpatine, Yoda hears a whisper in the Force...
And it's Sol cheering on Palpatine.
Qui-Gon is already tilted, being the only one dying from lightsaber wounds
Naw cuz Qui-Gon is the first person to learn to force ghost which is why the rise of Skywalker is stupid she absorbed force ghosts that didn't exist...
Just because you're a jedi, doesn't mean you get a force ghost.

I love how efap speculating the disappointing conclusion to the things writers are setting up, but they are actually giving the writers to much credit. Wait, no i dont!
Torbins tragedy would have been better if Carrie Moss said sometging like “out job as Jedi is to seek knowledge in the force” and so, wanting to prove himself and learn, he sees the witches doing magic and goes to ask them questions. They corrupt him and Torbin fights the other Jedi while amped up by witch magic. He breaks free of the spell and he regrets not knowing the difference between light and dark. Then in the final confrontation between withces and Jedi he rushes in headstrong for revenge and then the rest plays out. He allowed himself to fall and then he didnt learn from it and became aggressive which caused the deaths of dozens of space witches
"Dozens of" indeed.
It's written so poorly because Headlund wanted to force an outcome. This is a story written by a Sith about the Jedi.
Even then they fail. The kid flips out and rushes in because he was mind graped they get into an armed conflict because of horn mom Sol kills the boss witch because she offered no explanation before turning into a nazghul then the others all cast a hostile spell that will kill them if broken and that the enemy has the obvious powers and obvious need to break. At every possible phase the jedi were forced into action, their only sin was failing to accurately report the incident.
Nah, a Sith would write something better. This is just a former predator's partner in crime lez filled agenda fantasies within the framework of a predator filled company that wants to takeover young people's heads with this sort of thing;
The sith are more competent then shown in this. At least Palpatine was.
I'm really glad this show isn't getting a season 2. Thank God
So, regarding the whole "the Jedi are an evil cult that kidnaps children" thing... before the dark times of Disney, in the EU, it was not only possible to leave the Jedi Order if you wanted (though admittely, such cases were rare), the Jedi would outright throw you out if your training did not progress enough. If you were a certain age and no Master took you on as their Padawan, you wouldn't stay a Youngling forever, you would have to leave the order. In the Republic Commando books, a Padawan thinks about how she narrowly avoided the fate of going back to her home planet and using her meager force powers to help crops grow thanks to her Master choosing her, something she was very thankful for.
Though I think it is still somewhat unclear what the Jedi would do if parents would not want to part with their child, the position of "we are gonna make sure the child is trained and not a danger to anyone, and they can leave and return to their family after sufficent training should they choose to" is quite reasonable in the circumstances, all things considered. Certainly more reasonable than a certain Witch-Cult I could mention...
And that really doesn't gel with what they claim about the Dark Side and their stance on not training older students.
In the EU, if a youngling/padawan failed to progress in their Jedi training, they were allowed to serve in other areas such as humanitarian work and logistics.
@@SolarDragon007 Yep.
Makes much more sense considering how easy it is to fall to the Dark Side.
Tbh Jedis in Lucas canon are basically local judges/moral guides/borderline religious figures.
Like if a bunch of people from the Vatican showed up and told you that your child might become the pope of a planet you would probably like them to take the child

Would watch a Star Wars show where the main villain was midget Lex Luthor.
It's not as if the premise of the whole show isn't braindead already, but one small thing that always annoyed me was that "the skillset of the Jedi is non-transferable" bunk in EP1. The Jedi weren't just about lightsabers and the Force; they were also diplomats, ambassadors, investigators, and a whole bunch more. That's an extremely diverse skill-set. Even if she only received basic training, unless she was a monumental failure at learning any of that, there's no way she couldn't have landed some cushy job within the Republic by referencing that "Hey, I'm from the Jedi Temple", especially when it's pretty obvious that not all kids would make the cut and so there should already be established channels for employing them elsewhere. Heck, wasn't it implied that, in-universe, Palpatine's backstory was that he was a drop-out? Or was it some other Senator? In any case, it kind of shows that those skills are very much transferable.
Even nonlearned skills exist for force sensitive. They naturally have enhanced reflexes/precognition. It's been stated(idk when or where) that if Anakin had never been trained, he still would have become a universally renowned podracer.
In "Legends," Padawans who failed to make it as Jedi were moved to other duties like humanitarian work and logistics.

Pretty much.
It's like saying Spiderman, Captain America, or Doctor Strange have no transferable skills if they decided to not be superheroes.
@@SolarDragon007Which kind of contradicts what we see and what is mentioned in the films and TV as Dooku and Ahsoka both leave the Jedi Order voluntarily.
Which also brings up the issue of so many failed Jedi falling to the Dark Side if its as dangerous as it is portrayed as.
this TV show tweeted my TIPPLES as part of the ABUSE
Knowing the end from the beginning makes every element of the story so much worse.
It makes listening to the guys speculate on what's going to happen kind of hilarious.
"Well the Jedi are clearly lying. There's FOUR Jedi here, they are obviously lying about thinking the planet was uninhabited and they've even been spying on them for probably a while."
Then it turns out the Jedi were completely honest and they weren't even spying on them. Sol just saw them in the forest, which is a totally public location not like inside their settlement AT ALL, so it's not spying, and then they greeted the locals they GENUINELY didn't know was there. Somehow.
It's just so retarded it's obvious that there's something else there, but then there just isn't.
Alrighty gents, pull out the marshmallows and the camp chairs. It's a summer Saturday and it's time to watch a quality roast
"This is one of the better episodes" Mauler was sadly right about the slob that was the first episode...
This season literally ends with "Fuck you Dad I do what I want."
And to Lesbian Headlamp, that’s all that really matters
I've seen wooden puppets show more emotion than Amandla Stenberg's face.
It's funny seeing how the predictions of the crew turn out. It's funny when they're right, but also funny when they're wrong because usually it is because they were too charitable and assumed a chain of logic.
2:31:40
Damn, I've never considered maximizing my defenses, I always thought I'll just keep that dial turned down somewhat. Golly am I glad to receive a Jedi's lessons in swordplay.
Sol being the bad guy is Akin to Rian Johnson telling us Admiral Holdo is a Hero. The owners of Star Wars have leaned into RJs vision, hardcore.
They are LOST!
That's been disney star wars since episode 9, justifying TLJ.
I'm still upset at Basil's betrayal, he was the Babu Frik of The Acolyte. How could he do that?
Well he's obviously the Force Diad TM Babu Frik dark side equivalent.
5:38:50 probably the ONLY defence I can Muster for this show in this scene (not that anybody cares) is it seems like Sol is trying to recuple/dock with the smaller ship. There is no reason to get spitting distance close with a target to fire on it, (which would only make you crash into an exploding ship) and when he flicks the switch on the console you can hear a 'clacking" sound, which may indicate the coupling clamps engaging.
It is just for whatever reason the scene is shot as though trying to make the audience (or Beaver boy) think he is trying to kill her.. Just fake suspense and an excuse for Mae to escape.
^.-.^ There, daily Devil's advocation quota met.
I just thought he was trying to ram her. No idea why, nor what he actually wanted to do, but I was cheering him on regardless.
Funny how none of the jedi know what PIP is. Yord thinks she's reaching for a weapon in episode 1. And in episode 2 Sol asks what pip is (while murder suspect is syncing it to their ship) and yet in the last episodes Mae finds a PILE of the pip lower units INSIDE THE JEDIS SHIP!....
You really expected logical consistency when they can't even track what the actions and motivations of their characters are?
I still don't even know why PIP is a fucking droid.
It cannot walk, it cannot operate machinery on its own, it cannot active tech at a distance, it needs to be charged, it's for some reason filled with some kind of oil like substance, its main use is a fucking flashlight.
Why is it a droid!? That's SO much extra technology to shove into such a SMALL object for NO advantage! And if it's so fucking useful, WHY DOESN'T ANYONE ELSE HAVE ONE!?
There were TONS of R2 units and Protocol droids. R2 and C3PO were NOT unique droids, fuck's sake, even the sequels put like ONE other BB8 droid in the movies, but this stone faced bitch has the ONLY pip droid in the galaxy.
Mauler's voice is so soothing to listen to. I wish he would read me a bedtime story or gently rock me to sleep while singing me a lullaby.
Never in the field of human conflict have so many TIPPLES! been twissled, by so few. We are truly blessed to be living in the absolute best and non-tismy timeline.
FUCKIN'... TIPPAAAALLLLS 😂
Ryans absolutely right at 3:02:01 it wasn't just Disney, it all started with Filoni fucking with all aspects, inputting his own self insert characters, as well as pissing over the mystique of the force. Sad part is Lucas fucked up by letting too much slide with the clone wars because he was so blinded by his greed for merchandising. Ultimately he forgot what sold so much merchandise, it was because of good story telling and all that effort to make a truly unique universe.
Not to mention that he was busy with Star Wars Underground at the time too.
One of the worst crimes of Doucheney "She Bores" is how often they use idiom and language from our society. Lucas knew not to use phrases we recognize in order to keep a galaxy far, far away... far, far away. "The Woke-alyte" does this way more than any other offering from the Rat, and it's really jarring. Thanks, Lezzye! 😬
"An Acolyte kills without a weapon."
>ignites weapon (pointlessly)
Fantastic visualization and symbolism.
You cannot deny that the Jedi have the right to test potential padiwans... unless you deny it.

"I was able to sense that creature."
Yeah, so was I. With nothing but eyes and no Force.
Sweet.
Just heading into work.
This will do nicely.
I'm convinced that the show-runners had so little idea what they actually did, that I'd love for someone to address Leslie(?) and be like, "So The Acolyte was basically about the tragedy of Jedi being blamed for events that were instigated by antagonistic entities, and evil essentially prevailing in spite of all rationale. What inspired you to go this narrative route?"
It's so fun to see all the beginning cringe again, knowing it leads nowhere and is actually just edgy for edgy sake 😂
Wow, so they wrote this in a way where bad people can cover for other bad people and never be investigated.

Near a dozen Jedi who were actively following the beaver managed to lose sight of him and were incapable of keeping track of the one person they needed to keep track of to not get lost in this super dangerous Jedi killing jungle.
For the kind of budgets these shows have, they should be able to hire the best writers in the world. And yet time and time again, we get sub fanfic tier writing, and I wish that was an exaggeration. Forget good writing, at this point I dont even expect them to get the basics down like character motivation and time. It's hard to wrap my head around.
Hey that's unfair to fanfics, there are some amazing fanfictions.
Who here rewatching this after the news of the cancelation, huge W. But now they have no way to explain why yoda/mundi didn't know about sith or what was the way to "take out one without an weapon" - despite how he clearly took out all those jedis with an weapon -
Asshoka felt like the characters where constantly waiting for commercial break to end
There's nothing theoretically wrong with saying "To be a proper bad dude, you need to choke a bitch with the force". That is very dark side. And, canonically, force choking someone to death is genuinely very hard to do. The force doesn't like to kill things, you have to be strong and driven by the dark to do it. So there is the germ of a good idea somewhere. And it would be very Sith to say that sure, you can be good with a lightsabre, but the force is your real weapon. That ties to stuff like Palpatine in the OT not even having a light sabre because he was so into the force lightning. If we tell this story we can actually preserve that Vader and Palpatine are scary and powerful, because we can show our acolytes actually struggling to do it, and maybe having to lightsabre someone who broke free and getting mad about it.
Just... You can make a good story about "An acolyte does not need a lightsabre". So why the hell do we have all of this nonsense which has NOTHING to do with that? The whole series is only eight episodes long! Were they that desperate to fill time?
From my understanding, based upon the old Obi-wan Kenobi novels where he first became Qui-gon’s padawan, and a couple other books, the Jedi were willingly called by the parents/communities/planets where force sensitive children were suspected (although there wasn’t any law about it as far as I’m aware). Some basic tests would be done there, depending on how old the child was, and then options given. We can take and train your child (standard padawan story, limit familial connections as young as possible), or not. It was the parent’s choice, and if the answer was no they’d be given advice on how to deal with/raise the kid going forward since there was a decent chance they’d be special, but odds are without training they’d just be hyper talented (like Anakin being an amazing pilot).
Sure as hell was nothing like they showed in this poor excuse of a show.
Edit for spelling.
Which goes to show how small in scale Star Wars is as a whole when a galaxy of hundreds of trillions only produces 10,000 Jedi at their peak with almost noone outside of it.
2:29:32 that 'sink' is the droid that was around the meat mines where Obi Wan was working on. The one that also had cgi vapor for its whistle, as Metal pointed out, to signify the end of the shift. Now, it might have been a droid with a sink on top or something really dumb like that, which wouldn't change anything in the end. So yea, long story short, it's a Sink Droid. Go watch the first episode of Obi Wan if you wanna see the wretched thing lol.
Edit: Is this your webzone, Mauler? Lol
"The power of ONE, the power of TWO, the power of.... MaAAaaNNnnNNNYYyyyYYY..."
Weren't yellow/orange lightsabers supposed to be very rare and special? And didn't the blue and green ones both have their own affinities, and since those two were more common paths to tread, you would see those more?
I mean, it's not like I spent half my life immersed in Star Wars lore when it still existed, or anything. But uhm, yeah. Duck Fisney.
Just a small point, They've referred to the Jedi as "monks" in this show several times, and I've never heard them called that anywhere else, ever.
4:24:06 - this whip was definitely added in post! She goes from holding a straight blade with two hands to whipping the bug with one hand in a frame! But why?!?! To point and say “Look! A Star Wars’ first!” I thought we were over the whole “first” fab …

This is supposed to be the third iteration as previous test screenings hated the show. I am curious to see those previous versions to see how bad it really was
Imagine that rando alien at the beginning had been able to draw his gun and shoot Mae. The whole damn series wouldn't have happened.
It really baffles me that the people who worked on this show think the Jedi are the bad guys. The only thing I can think that might have been bad was trespassing. Anyway, this show is incredibly bad
And that was because they thought the girls were in danger.

"I cant tell them apart, they all look the same" - Lesbo Headlamp
In Legends novel Dark Lord: Rise of Darth Vader, a jedi was discovered by the Order as a boy but his father called the jedi while the mother didn't want to give him up. As he trained he refused to partake in the Order's branch that was responsible for finding new apprentices. He was reunited with his mother while the Jedi Purge was underway.
Every frame, every person simultaneously expresses a separate issue.
I distinctly remember there being a whole bit in the prequels about basic lightsaber safety, control, and attention to where it is being like this very fundamental part of Jedi training. But I guess we don't need that for Pissney lightbats.
The reason cortosis isn't everywhere is 1. Like they already said, it's fucking awful to work with. You couldn't get a sharpened edge out of one if you tried.
And 2. The big one this show forgot, It's fucking fragile. Like, if you tried to make a vibro knife which is standard fare for clone troopers, it would shake itself apart. You could literslly snap a cortosis sword in half with bear hands and smash cortosis armor with a good club.
The moment the jedi saw "Smilo" and his stupid helmet. It would be one force empowered smack away from being dust.
