Kristen GL can do that because he is the creator. Being a Creator give you the rights too change whatever he sees fit within his universe. Everyone else who is coming to play in that sandbox that he built. They must follow the rules and lore that he had established.
It doesn’t look great. Sorry. That red saber took me out of it. A red lightsaber is a Sith. This feels like it breaks canon. It also looks like it’s all over the place. I feel another Obi Wan or Boba Fett disaster. My m-count feels a disturbance. 🤣 May the 4th be with you!
Dude, I love you... I want you to know that, right? I'm subscribed... But you RUclipsrs seriously need to stop asking for likes and subscriptions from newcomers at the beginning of your videos. First, we'll see what you present, in your presentation. Then, we'll decide whether or not you are worthy of our attention or approval. I swear, man... You're all like car salesmen who want me to buy the vehicle before I've driven it, or even seen its condition. "You wanna buy a house...? I got a house you can buy! Don't worry about seeing it or taking a tour through it, just buy it without any of that necessary information - you'll love it, I promise!" STOP. WE DECIDE THESE THINGS, NOT YOU. STOP IT NOW. Would you buy a house you've never seen, Kristian? Ever? No? Then stop. You think this is free for me? The last time I checked, I pay my own attention, and that's a payment made. So show me what you're selling so that I can decide - for myself - whether or not I want to make that purchase. (1:01) "So... Let's watch the trailer, see how we like it, see if we can learn a little bit of the characters, and we can talk about it after it's over." So, let me get this straight... You're not just gonna automatically subscribe to The Acolyte without checking it out first? Open your eyes. Thank you. (2:58) "Yeah, I don't know yet. I don't know, I still feel the same way I did after the first one." So after two trailers, you're still undecided on whether or not you want to subscribe to that channel. That's what you're telling me. But what if they asked you to go ahead and like and subscribe to The Acolyte before you saw either one of those trailers? If you're undecided after seeing two of them, then what were you before then? STOP ASKING FOR LIKES AND SUBSCRIBES BEFORE ANYONE HAS EVEN HAD THE CHANCE TO SEE WHAT EXACTLY IT IS THAT YOU CAN OFFER TO THEM. I'll put it this way... I'm more onboard with The Acolyte than I am with Kristian Harloff; at the least The Acolyte knows what it wants to be, and can make an actual decision for itself. I'll subscribe to that.
I'm right in the middle of it as far as hype goes, but I agree that it's not giving away too much. I hope that they're holding back because they're confident. That way we can be genuinely surprised. 2 episodes right off the rip is smart.
It’s definitely a much better trailer, but given the fact that this show is a mystery crime thriller I really do not know how much I blame them for not really showing off too much but at the same time I feel like the quality of the trailer itself in the way it’s cut is what hinders some excitement that you might have. This could be a case where the actual show is better than the trailers.
@@TheKristianHarloff I guess I can understand your generic point although I’ll disagree with you when you had said that you think it looks too clean. The prequels look too clean too so that is not that much of an issue. Even when there was some clean stuff in this trailer I also some dirt too.
@@BlipBloop33 Huh? You might have commented on the wrong video. I was pretty clear that I can't judge this show on content yet because I haven't seen it and am very much rooting for it. I also made it clear that I hope people loved it. Maybe you commented on the wrong video by accident?
For years Kristian has been talking about how this was his most anticipated show. The marketing has really dropped the ball if this is his reaction now.
Definitely a cool trailer for sure. I watched The Phantom Menace today on the big screen with my 9 yr nephew and his mate. They loved it!!! First time my nephew’s seen it and his first time seeing Star Wars at the cinema. After the film they showed a preview/clip from the Acolyte and it was awesome! Looks great! More excited for this now after watching that for sure! May The Fourth Be With You!
@@brotherdave3249 Nobody has to do anything. I went cuz I haven't seen the movie in over a decade. You know, for fun. Had no idea they were going to show an Acolyte trailer.
Much better trailer than the first. I'm going in open minded, I have a feeling its gonna surprise us all. The things we're least hyped for like Andor turn out to be the best.
DEI score going uppppp ^^^ I love how instead of aliens and intergalactic creatures we just get a bunch of people of color now. Really amazing work Disney.
I feel like Brick in Anchorman when Ron Burgundy gets replaced by the lady, he looks over and says “you’re not Ron”. Anyway at least I’ll be able to watch Phantom Menace in the theater today. Happy May the 4th folks!
Trailers that don't give away too much are good signs to me. I don't care about a good trailer I want an epic show. It doesn't seem like too many in the Star Wars community are excited about this show. I'll be honest, I'm not. Think about what happens when our expectations are too high. Many of us get let down. I'll name two Disney era Star Wars projects where expectations were low. Rogue One and Andor. Both were masterpieces. Acolyte is 50/50. It can go either way. It's a step into the unknown.
The special presentation in theatre looked very cool. To see the fights on the big screen, but I’m not sure yet about the story. The suspense sounds good
When this show was announced this was my most anticipated Star Wars Tv show. The idea of following the sith from their perspective sounded fresh and exciting. I appreciate we are always walking the line when discussing Star Wars but let’s just base our opinion on how we feel now and this trailer, in my opinion, was really poor. This also shows the power of cinematography and how it can impact the tone of a show or movie.
For what it's worth, just got back from Phantom Menace screening and the scene from The Acolyte shown afterwards was better than either trailer so far.
Its just a brand new story weve never explored before. Thats why so many people are unsure of weather or not they are interested. We just need to wait for the audience reviews and reactions to tell the rest of us if its good or not. This looks great theres nothing that says its gonna be bad,
I’m so glad I found your channel Kristian. I used to love watching the Schmoes knows all the time! Any chance you’re bringing back Sith Council, or currently have a new podcast?
I enjoyed the trailer. I like the background of the murder mystery, I believe they are using amandla character as a red herring I don’t believe she the one doing the killing.
Based on clues from the first trailer and my knowledge of the EU, I have an strong suspicion of who the person with the red light saber might be (and I'm actually really excited for it if I'm right) but, because I don't know how to make videos, I can't make one of my own explaining it. If anyone cares, I can share my fan theory here; I just don't want to write a multi-paragraph comment if no one reads it. lol.
@@jaxsonburch-eo1vz This is just speculation, but I believe it's a character from the EU who went by the name of SET HARTH. He was a human Dark Jedi who lived 1,000 years before Darth Vader. Set Harth had 2 "special combat abilities" that resemble what we see briefly at the end of the first _Acolyte_ trailer: (1) He could throw his light saber like a boomerang, which was almost impossible for even skilled Jedi/Sith to dodge And (2) he could use a powerful "force blast" to push his foe(s) back several meters. Both of these abilities are described in the third novel of the _Darth Bane_ trilogy series. Now, as to the question of how Set Harth is still alive: At the end of the third _Darth Bane_ novel, Set Harth comes into possession of a Sith holocron which contains knowledge of the ritual of ESSENSE TRANSFER, which potentially allows him to move his consciousness (and force abilities, I presume) into new bodies. As we know, the only other person in Star Wars with this ability is Darth Sidious. So it's possible Set Harth has been "jumping" from body to body in secret for 1,000 years. So if it is him in The Acolyte, he may have a new body and identity (he may not even be human, or male). But it explains how Darth Plagueis and Sidious gained the ability of essense transfer: Plaguies encounters Set Harth somehow, and got the ability from him (maybe Set gave him the holocron?). Also, it being Set Harth prevents a plot hole from emerging: the Jedi still think the Sith are extinct during the time of The Acolyte. Well, Set Harth technically was never a Sith; he was a Dark Jedi. But he does have a connection to the Sith, as he was briefly an apprentice to a Sith named Darth Zannah (she was Darth Bane's apprentice). As I said, 99% of this is taken from the final Darth Bane novel, called "Dynasty of Evil". We'll find out for sure when this show premiers. PS - The showrunners did say some of The Acolyte's storyline will tie in to the EU, and Set Harth is part of the EU.
I'm not a High Republic reader. I am actually more of an Andor/Rebels/Empire Star Wars fan than a Jedi/Sith/Force enjoyer. Enjoyed the integration into Jedi Survivor though and I am hyped for this show. The lore and world building just looks really interesting. Love the detail of the Jedi Temple being higher up over the top of the city both showing the time-frame being earlier AND showing symbolism for the Jedi being all "high and mighty" over the rest of the people in the galaxy.
@TheKristianHarloff Same. If it keeps it interesting and us, the audience wanting more, than I'll be very pleased. Crossing fingers. True Detective: Star Wars Edition. Haha
Star Wars: Word Salad, the trailer!!! 😉😎 I bought Andor on Blu & rewatching the only excellent Disney Star Wars. I can definitely wait on this. May the 4th be with you! 😎✨
That is good for them. Hopefully they can get a lot of people who share that point of view. And people like myself, they can win over with the episodes themselves.
As a High Republic fan im excited ive enjoyed the new books. But i think it's odd to many people because its an era where we have no films to compare it to. Its all new. The High Republic era is a clean era and it's the most peaceful
I'm feeling better about this series. The only reason I haven't been excited for this series is because I didn't even think it was coming out. But it does have my attention, and I'm going into it thinking "Just entertain me." I feel when I expect it to fill in all the details, it sets me up for disappointment because I create my own narrative in my head
This trailer makes me excited I'm ready to see the acolyte, I don't know why all these people around here complaining and wining, I think people just get on people's pages to complain about star wars because they're bitter and upset about Previous shows and Overly skeptical and it's ridiculous, I Had some trouble with a few star wars shows I didn't like but I'm not going to get negative about a show I haven't even seen yet
I wish the fandom would have loved Andor. If it had gotten enough love....they might of pivoted to make more shows like it. It's really the best thing star was has done in forever....but the fans didn't support it because they'd already been burned out. But word of mouth should have corrected that.
"A small part, of a larger plan. Some sort of shift, to tip the scales " basically sums up this whole show probably The Jedi don't recognize a Sith, because they've been "extinct" for 900 years almost, thou we know better This Sith is likely Darth Tenebronus, the master of Darth Plageuis which eventually leads to Emperor Palpatine. It could be Tenebronus' master. Has to be one of these guys since it's only 100 years before Phantom Menace So this show basically shows the super beginning beginning motions that lead to the Skywalker Saga eventually. This is just what I'm getting from all the puzzle pieces we have, so I obviously could be dead wrong lol
Cheer up @Christen! This is the good part, where we can look forward to a show…. The disappointment/ confusion comes later. I’m in! True Detective Star Wars? Why ever not!? I’m pretty hyped. But it’s ok not to be. Always proceed with caution innit! Huge Love from London!
Liked it better than the first. I’m not overly excited but I’m excited because it’s supposed to be detracted from the skywalker story. That’s also why people might not get hyped about it because it’s not revolving around characters we love and know about. I think this could be a hidden gem 🤞🏼
Im excited for this show bc it will be the first piece of live action SW content focusing on the lore and not connected to the Skywalker saga or the Emperor/Empire.
It confuses me why people are so sure that this show must glaringly contradict the "...the Sith have been extinct for a millennium" line from the prequels by the mere fact that jedi encounter a Sith. There's many events/explanations that could be explored, none more obvious than that the Jedi who encounter said Sith...maybe don't survive the encounter.
I like that it's not Skywalker related in Star Wars, I want to see more things outside that story arc/timeline. I'm excited it's closer to the High Republic, I want to see more of that, and the Old Republic at some point. Writing and story has to deliver. These trailers have been pretty vague, hopefully on purpose.
I'll copy/paste my response to this from Rocha's reaction and it's a bit lengthy, but here goes: I'm usually an optimist and I'll look forward to just about any new series/movie, but this feels like 'yet another' Jedi fails/gets blindsided story. Which is what the PT was, which is the narrative of the ST where Luke claims that the legacy of the Jedi was failure (nevermind that they supposedly administered the galaxy in peace for tends of thousands of years even as Palps' Empire lasted... ~20? years). In the same way, I got kinda tired with the new Trek trying to be gritty and 'darker', the antithesis of why I came to like a series like Trek which were aspirational and different from the 'same old, same old, let's make it grittier, let's make it darker' trend of just about everything else. Don't get me wrong, there's an emo edgelord in these old bones that enjoys series like GOT or Walking Dead or the modern incarnations of Batman... But, when are we going to see the Jedi in their supposed full glory, being the shiny beacons they supposedly were? B/c, all the stuff we see now, is how the Jedi fail or the Jedi are blind/get blindsided (almost always be a Dark Side user). As much as I love The Clone Wars animation (breaks into my top3 of any/all SW properties on any given day and made Ahsoka my new favorite SW character), that was about the failure of the jedi and the Council not trusting Ahsoka and her breaking away (though not the only thing about the story), the prequel trilogy explicitly mentions how the Jedi's numbers are dwindling and how they cannot see through Palpatine's machinations. The sequel trilogy ends with the Skywalker bloodline dying out and the Palpatine bloodline continuing (though Rey claims to be a Skywalker and I know that's sort ofa commentary on found family). In all of these, the Jedi are duped, driven to extinction (Ep IV, Ep IX, maybe Acolyte?) or near it or they're failures (again, Ep IV, VIII, IX, TCW, PT, etc). It also feels like a sort of unconscious desperation in terms of writing b/c you're simply catering to the 'I simply want more dark and angsty' and b/c it's easier to write failure than it is to write a more idyllic, aspirational person, group or society. It's why we see more of the 'darker' stuff than the lighter stuff. It's why Superman doesn't quite seem to have hit the mark since the Donner movies (even as Man of Steel has its fans) and why Captain American in the MCU working as well as it did was a refreshing change even as he wasn't flawless. Kirk and Picard aren't flawless, but each hold up a sort of refreshing goodness that's sorely lacking in a lot of the modern stuff I see. I don't want everything to be TOS or Superman, but the problem I've been having with Star Wars, more and more, is that they tell us how great the Jedi were in their supposed heyday, but we never get to see that. It's always talked about how glorious and powerful the Jedi were at their peak, but they keep not showing us those stories. We keep seeing stories after they're purged and nearly extinct. We keep seeing how they get fooled by an external source and the stories tend to be "But, hope is just around the next corner or over that horizon" and that's fine when you're talking about a period just after Sidious takes over or during the purge of the Jedi or with shows like Andor that show the banality of evil. But, time and again, it feels like that's all SW has to offer these days whether individual movies/series pull it off well or not is a different story, but the song remains the same. And I hate to say it, but this feels that way, too. I know it's been brought up in TPM that the Jedi haven't seen a Sith in a thousand years or whatever and the argument is, well, if this Sith or Dark Side Force user (does it really matter, it's a bad guy wielding a red light saber and we all know what that means) wipes out this group of Jedi or all the ones that know of his/her existence, it will be like the Sith weren't around for a thousand years to the rest. But, then, we're playing the same game, again, right? Jedi, being blind sided by the Dark Side of the force that 'no one saw coming'. I know you and Rocha tend to like the darker stuff and I like it in specific stories, but I just don't know. Maybe I'll be wrong and I'll love the hell out of it, but we'll see.
I"m pretty much with you. I'm interested in the time period. I like the idea of Trinity being in it. Other than that though, I'm more eager to see the Darth Malak vs. Dooku fan video that was announced... a year ago... somehow I don't think that's happening now. lol.
I don't know yet. This trailer is better than the first one. The thing that bothers me the most is that the episode run times will be about 30-35 minutes.
People expect way too much out of an IP that's supposed to just be a swashbuckling popcorn franchise, I swear. "Subscribe to this guys channel - well I don't know who this guy is, that's the point." Exactly. Exactly like the trailer. We don't know who that is - THAT'S THE POINT!
I think this new trailer gives a better idea of how the show will be. Looks good to me. The fact that it takes place outside of the Skywalker era is especially cool. I'm tired of that.
Why do y’all just want mud and shit thrown everywhere? Why do so many people keep saying everything looks “clean”? God forbid people keep something nice and clean in a galaxy far far away.
People aren't asking for "mud and shit", they are referring to the sets and the costumes looking like they were freshly made/built or taken off a rack and placed on actors.. I've worked on sets where props, makeup and costume work together to make the world look "lived-in", it's a part of the process.. And It's those little touches that make a big difference in the final shots.. @Redjack10
@@DruovanniDefoe The prequels were much cleaner than the original trilogy as well, because the galaxy hadn’t yet been ravaged by war. This is 100 years before even that, so yeah things are going to look cleaner.
I didn’t like the first trailer they put out and made me really hesitant with it, but this trailer I loved. This one sold me on it a lot better than the last one.
I think this looks pretty good. Star Wars is really good at putting out great trailers, though. I like this trailer more than most. I'm not hyped, but I'm ready to see something new and won't hate just to hate like a lot of so-called fans.
oooph I forgot about the 30 min episodes... I was kind of excited since they showed so much this trailer, that I kind of thought these scenes would be in the first two episodes, but now I highly doubt it
Better than the first trailer at least. I'm not thrilled with the look of the villain, that joker grin on the helmet looks too try hard. Shots of that island/planet remind me of where Luke was in the sequel trilogy, Ach-To or whatever it was called
I think there is a certain possibility of very tragic scenes. the shot where (what I presume is a jedi) the boy falls to his knees and surrendering to whatever what may be. That is a scene that will probably brake me if they play it right. I am certainly more interested because of these possible dramatic scenes and the prospect of the "twirling" lightsaber fights what do you think?
Trailer looks awesome, new sithy-dude looks kinda' badass at first glance. Looking forward to an onscreen expansion of the High Republic era, still holding out for a Darth Plagueis origin story. It doesn't HAVE to be that, mind you. The period just seems appropriate.
I swear, it feels like no one at Lucasfilm has even watched any of the Star Wars movies, except for Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni. All of the lore previously established has been completely ignored. At least that’s the impression that I get.
Love the time period, story but worried about them messing w the lore. Afraid of disney making a new history vs. Canon. Sith were around but hiding. So guess all those jedi die?
Did you see the extended fight scene between Trinity and the mysterious antagonist, which was played at some screenings of Phantom Menace? I'm sold based on that alone. 100% get your trepidation, but I think we all need to keep an open mind until we've actually seen the two-episode premier.
Still not sold...but still interested. I think the Sith with a smiley face looks pretty dumb though. I turned the brightness up so i could see its helmet. My reaction was ." Oh no...why?" Tales of the empire was a let down today too. :( BUT, getting ready to go to an Amphitheater to watch John Williams music performed live before a showing A New Hope on the big screen afterwards. So that's awesome. Happy Star Wars Day Lord Harloff!
I’m not going to lie, but while I am a huge Star Wars nerd, DUNE: Part 2 and X-Men ‘97 have kinda spoiled me (and many of us, I’m sure) and really raised the bar for 2024 entertainment, so my excitement is trying to be there, but…
I agree, you want to like it but then some of those line reads are off. Also, all the costuming appears too pristine as if one walked right out of a clothing store, removing that lived in look which makes it appear artificial and hard to get immersed. Will give it a try and hope for the best.
I'm with you Kristian. I was really looking forward to this project conceptually, but having seen the trailers, i'm not wow'd by anything. I WANT it to be good. As a Star Wars fan, I want to like it, but do they have competent story telling? are the characters going to fleshed out enough for us to care about their journey? will the action deliver better in the show than its lack luster trailer sequences? Time will tell, but as of now, nothing i've seen makes me want to block out time to watch this. I'll see it when i see it.
I agree with Kristian. This and the last trailer has left me thinking, "I dunno." Hasn't really shown or expressed anything other than intrigue. Barely. Only Andor and Seasons 1 and 2 of Mando have been good. Also, yes....the time period and lore are the big pulls.
i just wish the cinematography and camera work was a little more dynamic and interesting rather than static and flat. This is common amongst the Disney Plus shows, including Percy Jackson and Renegade Nell.
It doesn't make sense for the Sith at the end to be Amandla Sternberg, seeing how she threw away her Jedi lightsaber and began to fight with knives. (So why go back to fighting with a lightsaber again, just a red one?) But I cannot tell from the trailers if that Sith at the end is simply a larger person, where I can say for sure. Nawmean?
The fight scenes in the dark reminds of iron fist fight scenes! it’s a great tool for not to show if actors are doing stunts but in this age idk if it’s the right tool
I think the trailer looks promising. And couldn’t the ”fact” that the Sith haven’t been seen in a 1 000 years be explained with the few Jedi that know covering the whole thing up by the end because the truth is deemed too troubling or dangerous in their mind? Or to not embolden others to question their ”rule”, stricken from the records? We did learn that just because something isn’t in the Jedi archives it very well could exist.
Kristian... I've been excited about this show for a long time, but the longer the wait has been going on the more cautious I've been about getting excited. The trailer looks good. But at the same time it sounds like they (Disney/Filoni/whoever) aren't paying attention to what we fans want, which are longer episodes, which allow more time for story and character development. I want this to be good so bad, but most of their shows have gotten close to that line and ultimately always seem to pull back and just play it too safe.
Hey mate, super happy for you in regards to the quick rate of increased subs, very well deserved and love your content! Let's hope this show isn't as disappointing as ahsoka, obi wan, boba and mando s3! Thank you for all your hard work! 👌
I just feel like I’ve been burnt to many times BY Star Wars but I’m in cause it’s based in a different time frame but you just know their will be a Skywalker reference somewhere 😂
Harloff's Thumb nail says it all but I have hope. Trailer looks so much much better than the teaser. Great cast & great director. Def tuning in on J4th
Yoda knows only two there are a master and an apprentice....he knows this cause he was around during this storyline. they may be talking about the sith empire has been gone for a 1000 years. carrie ann moss and the asian jedi look like cool characters. i'm a fan of force-fu considering jedi are based on samurai. the sith mask looks like it could be Abeloth
I'm indifferent. It doesn't look bad, there just isn't anything grabbing me. Lots of Jedi and lightsabers and people standing on rocks. Also looks alittle "Volume-y"...It's just the trailer and I'd rather the show be great and have a bad trailer than the opposite. BTW Kristian. You should check out the Darth Revan figure Hot Toys announced. Looks great!
Of course this is something I’ll watch as a life long Star Wars fan. I just feel like they’re holding back on the marketing for this. Either it’s a series that’s gonna be extremely lackluster, or they’re keeping everything close to the chest. I wanna be optimistic about this, but with the way the most recent series have been, it’s difficult to be excited about it.
I think the Jedi will not figure out that it's a Sith Lord. Or maybe some of them will claim it is, and they will be discredited and the Jedi council decides it wasn't, or they cover it up to keep fear from growing. I don't believe the Council in phantom menace really thought the Sith were gone for good, and maybe this is why. Love the Sith helmet/mask.
Even if they think the Sith are gone.....Jedi certainly know what one is....to hear him ask what are you....when he literally has a red light saber. Is so dumb. It would make more sense that they didn't use a lightsaber.....so the Jedi wouldn't know they're Sith.
@@wkadalie There have been no Sith seen in almost 900 years. Most Jedi have lived and died without seeing another lightsaber wielding foe. Red lightsabers aren't exclusive to the Sith. The thing that will be unknown to them is the power level, and I'm sure after all being knocked on their asses, that is what has them stunned. 'What are you that can best 'us' in the force?' That kind of thing. Have to remember the Sith that were around 900 years back weren't all that either, mostly dark jedi marginally following the Sith ways.
@@martinsleight321 The jedi have passed on histories though. In 900 years...people today will still be able to identify what a Nazi is. And Star wars people have tech that are more advanced than modern civilization. So I find it hard to believe information would be lost. Even if they couldn't identify the red saber.....a bad Jedi could be.
As always, if ya can SUBSCRIBE TO THE CHANNEL! What did you think of the new trailer?
Kristen GL can do that because he is the creator. Being a Creator give you the rights too change whatever he sees fit within his universe. Everyone else who is coming to play in that sandbox that he built. They must follow the rules and lore that he had established.
I kinda love it. It's really nice to see how Jedi lived in their prime before all hell broke loose.

It doesn’t look great. Sorry. That red saber took me out of it. A red lightsaber is a Sith. This feels like it breaks canon. It also looks like it’s all over the place. I feel another Obi Wan or Boba Fett disaster. My m-count feels a disturbance. 🤣 May the 4th be with you!

"You wanna buy a house...? I got a house you can buy! Don't worry about seeing it or taking a tour through it, just buy it without any of that necessary information - you'll love it, I promise!"
STOP.

So after two trailers, you're still undecided on whether or not you want to subscribe to that channel. That's what you're telling me. But what if they asked you to go ahead and like and subscribe to The Acolyte before you saw either one of those trailers? If you're undecided after seeing two of them, then what were you before then?
STOP ASKING FOR LIKES AND SUBSCRIBES BEFORE ANYONE HAS EVEN HAD THE CHANCE TO SEE WHAT EXACTLY IT IS THAT YOU CAN OFFER TO THEM.
I'll put it this way...
I'm more onboard with The Acolyte than I am with Kristian Harloff; at the least The Acolyte knows what it wants to be, and can make an actual decision for itself.
I'll subscribe to that.

@@BlipBloop33 Huh? You might have commented on the wrong video. I was pretty clear that I can't judge this show on content yet because I haven't seen it and am very much rooting for it. I also made it clear that I hope people loved it. Maybe you commented on the wrong video by accident?
its shite
For years Kristian has been talking about how this was his most anticipated show. The marketing has really dropped the ball if this is his reaction now.
The time period intrigues me. If they set the lore of the sith, very excited but yes been let down with what I have seen thus far.
Definitely a cool trailer for sure. I watched The Phantom Menace today on the big screen with my 9 yr nephew and his mate. They loved it!!! First time my nephew’s seen it and his first time seeing Star Wars at the cinema. After the film they showed a preview/clip from the Acolyte and it was awesome! Looks great! More excited for this now after watching that for sure! May The Fourth Be With You!
Difference is TPM is actually good trailer.
Shit movie...but a good trailer.
The special look clip in theatres at the moment from The Acolyte is actually really good.
Yeah, I saw that and was instantly onboard. Some kick ass choreography happening in that scene.
Good to know. I hope that it delivers.
I don't think you should have to go see a twenty five year old movie just to see a special behind the scenes clip typical fucking disney
@@brotherdave3249 Nobody has to do anything. I went cuz I haven't seen the movie in over a decade. You know, for fun. Had no idea they were going to show an Acolyte trailer.
Yeah, that scene was fantastic
Much better trailer than the first. I'm going in open minded, I have a feeling its gonna surprise us all. The things we're least hyped for like Andor turn out to be the best.
DEI score going uppppp ^^^ I love how instead of aliens and intergalactic creatures we just get a bunch of people of color now. Really amazing work Disney.
I feel like Brick in Anchorman when Ron Burgundy gets replaced by the lady, he looks over and says “you’re not Ron”.
Anyway at least I’ll be able to watch Phantom Menace in the theater today. Happy May the 4th folks!
May the 4th Be With You Kristian, appreciate you and your work my friend! Cheers
Much appreciated!
Trailers that don't give away too much are good signs to me. I don't care about a good trailer I want an epic show. It doesn't seem like too many in the Star Wars community are excited about this show. I'll be honest, I'm not. Think about what happens when our expectations are too high. Many of us get let down. I'll name two Disney era Star Wars projects where expectations were low. Rogue One and Andor. Both were masterpieces. Acolyte is 50/50. It can go either way. It's a step into the unknown.
THANKS for this, Harloff!!!!
The special presentation in theatre looked very cool. To see the fights on the big screen, but I’m not sure yet about the story. The suspense sounds good
When this show was announced this was my most anticipated Star Wars Tv show. The idea of following the sith from their perspective sounded fresh and exciting. I appreciate we are always walking the line when discussing Star Wars but let’s just base our opinion on how we feel now and this trailer, in my opinion, was really poor. This also shows the power of cinematography and how it can impact the tone of a show or movie.
Looks like something you’d see on basic cable. I am a Star Wars fan so I’ll still watch.
they showed us an extended clip from the shoow in Episode 1 last night in theaters it was pretty bad ass. Should be the same today
A Star Wars Story : The DEI Ascension
For what it's worth, just got back from Phantom Menace screening and the scene from The Acolyte shown afterwards was better than either trailer so far.
Its just a brand new story weve never explored before. Thats why so many people are unsure of weather or not they are interested. We just need to wait for the audience reviews and reactions to tell the rest of us if its good or not. This looks great theres nothing that says its gonna be bad,
I’m so glad I found your channel Kristian. I used to love watching the Schmoes knows all the time!
Any chance you’re bringing back Sith Council, or currently have a new podcast?
I enjoyed the trailer. I like the background of the murder mystery, I believe they are using amandla character as a red herring I don’t believe she the one doing the killing.
The murder mystery angle of it is interesting. I just wonder if they’re going to get past the generic side of it all.
Yeah, I think that that’s the best way to look at it. She’s being tricked by the Sith and that might end up leading to her demise.
Based on clues from the first trailer and my knowledge of the EU, I have an strong suspicion of who the person with the red light saber might be (and I'm actually really excited for it if I'm right) but, because I don't know how to make videos, I can't make one of my own explaining it. If anyone cares, I can share my fan theory here; I just don't want to write a multi-paragraph comment if no one reads it. lol.
@@jeffersonadams8711Who do you think it is? I thought it was just a new Sith they created. Kind of like a combination of other eu characters.
@@jaxsonburch-eo1vz This is just speculation, but I believe it's a character from the EU who went by the name of SET HARTH. He was a human Dark Jedi who lived 1,000 years before Darth Vader. Set Harth had 2 "special combat abilities" that resemble what we see briefly at the end of the first _Acolyte_ trailer:
(1) He could throw his light saber like a boomerang, which was almost impossible for even skilled Jedi/Sith to dodge
And
(2) he could use a powerful "force blast" to push his foe(s) back several meters.
Both of these abilities are described in the third novel of the _Darth Bane_ trilogy series.
Now, as to the question of how Set Harth is still alive: At the end of the third _Darth Bane_ novel, Set Harth comes into possession of a Sith holocron which contains knowledge of the ritual of ESSENSE TRANSFER, which potentially allows him to move his consciousness (and force abilities, I presume) into new bodies. As we know, the only other person in Star Wars with this ability is Darth Sidious. So it's possible Set Harth has been "jumping" from body to body in secret for 1,000 years. So if it is him in The Acolyte, he may have a new body and identity (he may not even be human, or male).
But it explains how Darth Plagueis and Sidious gained the ability of essense transfer: Plaguies encounters Set Harth somehow, and got the ability from him (maybe Set gave him the holocron?).
Also, it being Set Harth prevents a plot hole from emerging: the Jedi still think the Sith are extinct during the time of The Acolyte. Well, Set Harth technically was never a Sith; he was a Dark Jedi. But he does have a connection to the Sith, as he was briefly an apprentice to a Sith named Darth Zannah (she was Darth Bane's apprentice).
As I said, 99% of this is taken from the final Darth Bane novel, called "Dynasty of Evil". We'll find out for sure when this show premiers.
PS - The showrunners did say some of The Acolyte's storyline will tie in to the EU, and Set Harth is part of the EU.
Much better trailer and looking forward to the show
I'm not a High Republic reader. I am actually more of an Andor/Rebels/Empire Star Wars fan than a Jedi/Sith/Force enjoyer. Enjoyed the integration into Jedi Survivor though and I am hyped for this show. The lore and world building just looks really interesting. Love the detail of the Jedi Temple being higher up over the top of the city both showing the time-frame being earlier AND showing symbolism for the Jedi being all "high and mighty" over the rest of the people in the galaxy.
I really like this trailer. Love the mystery part of it
The murder mystery side of it is the most intriguing part for sure.
@TheKristianHarloff Same. If it keeps it interesting and us, the audience wanting more, than I'll be very pleased. Crossing fingers. True Detective: Star Wars Edition. Haha
Star Wars: Word Salad, the trailer!!! 😉😎 I bought Andor on Blu & rewatching the only excellent Disney Star Wars. I can definitely wait on this. May the 4th be with you! 😎✨
Exactly my thoughts, the dialogue was just random words put together like in that horrible Rings of Power show
I feel like this trailer has made me more interested which is what a trailer is supposed to do. I have questions and I’m excited to see it.
That is good for them. Hopefully they can get a lot of people who share that point of view. And people like myself, they can win over with the episodes themselves.
@@TheKristianHarloffabsolutely hope the mystery is good. They are definitely building it as a mystery so that has to be done well.
As a High Republic fan im excited ive enjoyed the new books. But i think it's odd to many people because its an era where we have no films to compare it to. Its all new.
The High Republic era is a clean era and it's the most peaceful
To me, that’s what excites me but the problem is these two trailers have looked so generic in my opinion
I'm feeling better about this series. The only reason I haven't been excited for this series is because I didn't even think it was coming out. But it does have my attention, and I'm going into it thinking "Just entertain me." I feel when I expect it to fill in all the details, it sets me up for disappointment because I create my own narrative in my head
This trailer makes me excited I'm ready to see the acolyte, I don't know why all these people around here complaining and wining, I think people just get on people's pages to complain about star wars because they're bitter and upset about Previous shows and Overly skeptical and it's ridiculous, I Had some trouble with a few star wars shows I didn't like but I'm not going to get negative about a show I haven't even seen yet
I try to be optimistic about Star Wars but they don't make it easy. The trailers haven't blown me away. Hopefully the actual show is better
I wish the fandom would have loved Andor. If it had gotten enough love....they might of pivoted to make more shows like it. It's really the best thing star was has done in forever....but the fans didn't support it because they'd already been burned out. But word of mouth should have corrected that.
I'm cautiously optimistic.
"A small part, of a larger plan. Some sort of shift, to tip the scales " basically sums up this whole show probably
The Jedi don't recognize a Sith, because they've been "extinct" for 900 years almost, thou we know better
This Sith is likely Darth Tenebronus, the master of Darth Plageuis which eventually leads to Emperor Palpatine. It could be Tenebronus' master. Has to be one of these guys since it's only 100 years before Phantom Menace
So this show basically shows the super beginning beginning motions that lead to the Skywalker Saga eventually. This is just what I'm getting from all the puzzle pieces we have, so I obviously could be dead wrong lol
Im
So
Excited for Jedi of the high republic
ngl the first trailer left me pretty underwhelmed but this one really hyped me up
Cheer up @Christen! This is the good part, where we can look forward to a show…. The disappointment/ confusion comes later.
I’m in! True Detective Star Wars? Why ever not!? I’m pretty hyped. But it’s ok not to be. Always proceed with caution innit!
Huge Love from London!
Liked it better than the first. I’m not overly excited but I’m excited because it’s supposed to be detracted from the skywalker story. That’s also why people might not get hyped about it because it’s not revolving around characters we love and know about. I think this could be a hidden gem 🤞🏼
Im excited for this show bc it will be the first piece of live action SW content focusing on the lore and not connected to the Skywalker saga or the Emperor/Empire.
That's what you think....we'll find out that Carrie Moss is Anikins great great grandmother. And that Palpatine is still alive back then.
1:41 "The Jedi are being hunted, no cap fr fr"
I can't wait for those 28 minute + credits episodes.
Not hyped for that part.
The trailer was fine, I'll probably check out the premiere and see how it finds me.
100 years before ,so Yoda is alive
I’m intrigued enough to want to watch it as anyone who calls themselves a Star Wars fan should be.
It confuses me why people are so sure that this show must glaringly contradict the "...the Sith have been extinct for a millennium" line from the prequels by the mere fact that jedi encounter a Sith. There's many events/explanations that could be explored, none more obvious than that the Jedi who encounter said Sith...maybe don't survive the encounter.
I’m always going to excited for more Star Wars. Conversations about whether it’s good or not can wait until after the show is over.
The whole trailer reads The Volume to me.
I like that it's not Skywalker related in Star Wars, I want to see more things outside that story arc/timeline. I'm excited it's closer to the High Republic, I want to see more of that, and the Old Republic at some point. Writing and story has to deliver. These trailers have been pretty vague, hopefully on purpose.
I agree Kristian. I’m looking forward to this show and I think they’re holding back on purpose. Thankfully we only have to wait a month.
I'll copy/paste my response to this from Rocha's reaction and it's a bit lengthy, but here goes:
I'm usually an optimist and I'll look forward to just about any new series/movie, but this feels like 'yet another' Jedi fails/gets blindsided story. Which is what the PT was, which is the narrative of the ST where Luke claims that the legacy of the Jedi was failure (nevermind that they supposedly administered the galaxy in peace for tends of thousands of years even as Palps' Empire lasted... ~20? years). In the same way, I got kinda tired with the new Trek trying to be gritty and 'darker', the antithesis of why I came to like a series like Trek which were aspirational and different from the 'same old, same old, let's make it grittier, let's make it darker' trend of just about everything else.
Don't get me wrong, there's an emo edgelord in these old bones that enjoys series like GOT or Walking Dead or the modern incarnations of Batman... But, when are we going to see the Jedi in their supposed full glory, being the shiny beacons they supposedly were? B/c, all the stuff we see now, is how the Jedi fail or the Jedi are blind/get blindsided (almost always be a Dark Side user). As much as I love The Clone Wars animation (breaks into my top3 of any/all SW properties on any given day and made Ahsoka my new favorite SW character), that was about the failure of the jedi and the Council not trusting Ahsoka and her breaking away (though not the only thing about the story), the prequel trilogy explicitly mentions how the Jedi's numbers are dwindling and how they cannot see through Palpatine's machinations. The sequel trilogy ends with the Skywalker bloodline dying out and the Palpatine bloodline continuing (though Rey claims to be a Skywalker and I know that's sort ofa commentary on found family). In all of these, the Jedi are duped, driven to extinction (Ep IV, Ep IX, maybe Acolyte?) or near it or they're failures (again, Ep IV, VIII, IX, TCW, PT, etc).
It also feels like a sort of unconscious desperation in terms of writing b/c you're simply catering to the 'I simply want more dark and angsty' and b/c it's easier to write failure than it is to write a more idyllic, aspirational person, group or society. It's why we see more of the 'darker' stuff than the lighter stuff. It's why Superman doesn't quite seem to have hit the mark since the Donner movies (even as Man of Steel has its fans) and why Captain American in the MCU working as well as it did was a refreshing change even as he wasn't flawless. Kirk and Picard aren't flawless, but each hold up a sort of refreshing goodness that's sorely lacking in a lot of the modern stuff I see.
I don't want everything to be TOS or Superman, but the problem I've been having with Star Wars, more and more, is that they tell us how great the Jedi were in their supposed heyday, but we never get to see that. It's always talked about how glorious and powerful the Jedi were at their peak, but they keep not showing us those stories. We keep seeing stories after they're purged and nearly extinct. We keep seeing how they get fooled by an external source and the stories tend to be "But, hope is just around the next corner or over that horizon" and that's fine when you're talking about a period just after Sidious takes over or during the purge of the Jedi or with shows like Andor that show the banality of evil. But, time and again, it feels like that's all SW has to offer these days whether individual movies/series pull it off well or not is a different story, but the song remains the same. And I hate to say it, but this feels that way, too. I know it's been brought up in TPM that the Jedi haven't seen a Sith in a thousand years or whatever and the argument is, well, if this Sith or Dark Side Force user (does it really matter, it's a bad guy wielding a red light saber and we all know what that means) wipes out this group of Jedi or all the ones that know of his/her existence, it will be like the Sith weren't around for a thousand years to the rest.
But, then, we're playing the same game, again, right? Jedi, being blind sided by the Dark Side of the force that 'no one saw coming'. I know you and Rocha tend to like the darker stuff and I like it in specific stories, but I just don't know. Maybe I'll be wrong and I'll love the hell out of it, but we'll see.
I"m pretty much with you. I'm interested in the time period. I like the idea of Trinity being in it. Other than that though, I'm more eager to see the Darth Malak vs. Dooku fan video that was announced... a year ago... somehow I don't think that's happening now. lol.
I don't know yet. This trailer is better than the first one. The thing that bothers me the most is that the episode run times will be about 30-35 minutes.
People expect way too much out of an IP that's supposed to just be a swashbuckling popcorn franchise, I swear. "Subscribe to this guys channel - well I don't know who this guy is, that's the point." Exactly. Exactly like the trailer. We don't know who that is - THAT'S THE POINT!
I think this new trailer gives a better idea of how the show will be. Looks good to me. The fact that it takes place outside of the Skywalker era is especially cool. I'm tired of that.
It just looks like one off scenes on a sound stage stitched together.
I say this every time I see this show.... IT LOOKS TO CLEANNNN... it looks like a awesome fan made short
Why do y’all just want mud and shit thrown everywhere? Why do so many people keep saying everything looks “clean”?
God forbid people keep something nice and clean in a galaxy far far away.
People aren't asking for "mud and shit", they are referring to the sets and the costumes looking like they were freshly made/built or taken off a rack and placed on actors..
I've worked on sets where props, makeup and costume work together to make the world look "lived-in", it's a part of the process.. And It's those little touches that make a big difference in the final shots.. @Redjack10
@@DruovanniDefoe The prequels were much cleaner than the original trilogy as well, because the galaxy hadn’t yet been ravaged by war.
This is 100 years before even that, so yeah things are going to look cleaner.
it should not look like a fan made short...
@@StarForgedTCG And I don’t think it does at all. Looks like any other Star Wars thing ever made.
Just did my reaction! yo im actually excited for disney again!
Happy that you are excited for it!
They're really selling this show as lightsaber heavy. If the first episode dont have a lot of saber fights then I'm done.
I don't know! But I will give it a shot!
I didn’t like the first trailer they put out and made me really hesitant with it, but this trailer I loved. This one sold me on it a lot better than the last one.
I think this looks pretty good. Star Wars is really good at putting out great trailers, though. I like this trailer more than most. I'm not hyped, but I'm ready to see something new and won't hate just to hate like a lot of so-called fans.
The more I see the less excited I get, especially knowing that the episodes are only 30 minutes.
oooph I forgot about the 30 min episodes... I was kind of excited since they showed so much this trailer, that I kind of thought these scenes would be in the first two episodes, but now I highly doubt it
30mins is a good thing, just less crap to sit through
Better than the first trailer at least. I'm not thrilled with the look of the villain, that joker grin on the helmet looks too try hard. Shots of that island/planet remind me of where Luke was in the sequel trilogy, Ach-To or whatever it was called
Cool trailer and I’m looking forward to it, but I feel bad because I still am a huge advocate and fan for the Darth Plagueis novel.
I think there is a certain possibility of very tragic scenes. the shot where (what I presume is a jedi) the boy falls to his knees and surrendering to whatever what may be. That is a scene that will probably brake me if they play it right.
I am certainly more interested because of these possible dramatic scenes and the prospect of the "twirling" lightsaber fights
what do you think?
Star Wars - Confuse the general audience part 12 to the prequel sequel 7 you all don’t care about. Only on TV streaming. 😂
It looks and SOUNDS like a tv show. Like the audio sounds like a sci-fi channel show. It is just rubbing me the wrong way.
I really don't have any great expectations from this but just looking forward for the action sequence that it.
Trailer looks awesome, new sithy-dude looks kinda' badass at first glance. Looking forward to an onscreen expansion of the High Republic era, still holding out for a Darth Plagueis origin story. It doesn't HAVE to be that, mind you. The period just seems appropriate.
It was fine, but the sith at the end had a absolutely amazing design
Word advice don’t be optimistic just be cautious with this show if it gets disappointing.
I swear, it feels like no one at Lucasfilm has even watched any of the Star Wars movies, except for Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni. All of the lore previously established has been completely ignored. At least that’s the impression that I get.
Love the time period, story but worried about them messing w the lore. Afraid of disney making a new history vs. Canon. Sith were around but hiding. So guess all those jedi die?
Did you see the extended fight scene between Trinity and the mysterious antagonist, which was played at some screenings of Phantom Menace? I'm sold based on that alone. 100% get your trepidation, but I think we all need to keep an open mind until we've actually seen the two-episode premier.
Still not sold...but still interested. I think the Sith with a smiley face looks pretty dumb though. I turned the brightness up so i could see its helmet. My reaction was ." Oh no...why?" Tales of the empire was a let down today too. :( BUT, getting ready to go to an Amphitheater to watch John Williams music performed live before a showing A New Hope on the big screen afterwards. So that's awesome. Happy Star Wars Day Lord Harloff!
I’m not going to lie, but while I am a huge Star Wars nerd, DUNE: Part 2 and X-Men ‘97 have kinda spoiled me (and many of us, I’m sure) and really raised the bar for 2024 entertainment, so my excitement is trying to be there, but…
stoked on it!
I agree, you want to like it but then some of those line reads are off. Also, all the costuming appears too pristine as if one walked right out of a clothing store, removing that lived in look which makes it appear artificial and hard to get immersed. Will give it a try and hope for the best.
I'm with you Kristian. I was really looking forward to this project conceptually, but having seen the trailers, i'm not wow'd by anything. I WANT it to be good. As a Star Wars fan, I want to like it, but do they have competent story telling? are the characters going to fleshed out enough for us to care about their journey? will the action deliver better in the show than its lack luster trailer sequences? Time will tell, but as of now, nothing i've seen makes me want to block out time to watch this. I'll see it when i see it.
I agree with Kristian. This and the last trailer has left me thinking, "I dunno." Hasn't really shown or expressed anything other than intrigue. Barely. Only Andor and Seasons 1 and 2 of Mando have been good. Also, yes....the time period and lore are the big pulls.
It’s a tv show and it looks good.
i just wish the cinematography and camera work was a little more dynamic and interesting rather than static and flat. This is common amongst the Disney Plus shows, including Percy Jackson and Renegade Nell.
It doesn't make sense for the Sith at the end to be Amandla Sternberg, seeing how she threw away her Jedi lightsaber and began to fight with knives. (So why go back to fighting with a lightsaber again, just a red one?)
But I cannot tell from the trailers if that Sith at the end is simply a larger person, where I can say for sure. Nawmean?
The fight scenes in the dark reminds of iron fist fight scenes! it’s a great tool for not to show if actors are doing stunts but in this age idk if it’s the right tool
Legit might be the first project I skip entirely. May reread the Bane trilogy and Plagueis instead.
Really digging the new trailer. Murder mystery elements, the time period, the new characters. I’m in 🙌🏾
🤣🤣🫵🏽
I think the trailer looks promising. And couldn’t the ”fact” that the Sith haven’t been seen in a 1 000 years be explained with the few Jedi that know covering the whole thing up by the end because the truth is deemed too troubling or dangerous in their mind? Or to not embolden others to question their ”rule”, stricken from the records? We did learn that just because something isn’t in the Jedi archives it very well could exist.
Kristian... I've been excited about this show for a long time, but the longer the wait has been going on the more cautious I've been about getting excited. The trailer looks good. But at the same time it sounds like they (Disney/Filoni/whoever) aren't paying attention to what we fans want, which are longer episodes, which allow more time for story and character development. I want this to be good so bad, but most of their shows have gotten close to that line and ultimately always seem to pull back and just play it too safe.
I’m the same, not exited but not dreading it. Cautiously curious
I'm intrigued but cautious about getting excited about anything Star Wars that isn't Andor.
Hey mate, super happy for you in regards to the quick rate of increased subs, very well deserved and love your content! Let's hope this show isn't as disappointing as ahsoka, obi wan, boba and mando s3! Thank you for all your hard work! 👌
It looks a lot like Kenobi... I'm fearful!
I just feel like I’ve been burnt to many times BY Star Wars but I’m in cause it’s based in a different time frame but you just know their will be a Skywalker reference somewhere 😂
Harloff's Thumb nail says it all but I have hope. Trailer looks so much much better than the teaser.
Great cast & great director.
Def tuning in on J4th
"That peace is a lie" is an interesting line.
I think the reception of this show is going to be like it's trailers 50/50.
Yoda knows only two there are a master and an apprentice....he knows this cause he was around during this storyline. they may be talking about the sith empire has been gone for a 1000 years. carrie ann moss and the asian jedi look like cool characters. i'm a fan of force-fu considering jedi are based on samurai. the sith mask looks like it could be Abeloth
Interested in who the character at the end of the trailer is....but thats honestly about it. Gonna give it a shot though.
Is that island Ach To?
I'm indifferent. It doesn't look bad, there just isn't anything grabbing me. Lots of Jedi and lightsabers and people standing on rocks. Also looks alittle "Volume-y"...It's just the trailer and I'd rather the show be great and have a bad trailer than the opposite.
BTW Kristian. You should check out the Darth Revan figure Hot Toys announced. Looks great!
Of course this is something I’ll watch as a life long Star Wars fan. I just feel like they’re holding back on the marketing for this. Either it’s a series that’s gonna be extremely lackluster, or they’re keeping everything close to the chest. I wanna be optimistic about this, but with the way the most recent series have been, it’s difficult to be excited about it.
I think the Jedi will not figure out that it's a Sith Lord. Or maybe some of them will claim it is, and they will be discredited and the Jedi council decides it wasn't, or they cover it up to keep fear from growing.
I don't believe the Council in phantom menace really thought the Sith were gone for good, and maybe this is why. Love the Sith helmet/mask.
Even if they think the Sith are gone.....Jedi certainly know what one is....to hear him ask what are you....when he literally has a red light saber. Is so dumb. It would make more sense that they didn't use a lightsaber.....so the Jedi wouldn't know they're Sith.
@@wkadalie There have been no Sith seen in almost 900 years. Most Jedi have lived and died without seeing another lightsaber wielding foe.
Red lightsabers aren't exclusive to the Sith. The thing that will be unknown to them is the power level, and I'm sure after all being knocked on their asses, that is what has them stunned. 'What are you that can best 'us' in the force?' That kind of thing. Have to remember the Sith that were around 900 years back weren't all that either, mostly dark jedi marginally following the Sith ways.
@@martinsleight321 The jedi have passed on histories though. In 900 years...people today will still be able to identify what a Nazi is. And Star wars people have tech that are more advanced than modern civilization. So I find it hard to believe information would be lost. Even if they couldn't identify the red saber.....a bad Jedi could be.
