- It's not the After Show, but it's our first thoughts and immediate reaction to seeing the season finale of THE ACOLYTE. Did the finale satisfy? Were all the main issues raised throughout the season wrapped up? And what does the future have in store, if any, for THE ACOLYTE? F.J. DeSanto joins us for a "first blush" review and reactions.

A padawan dropout student who can barely use the force to grab some tools for her escape from a spaceship, can force-choke a jedi master to death. Brilliant.
Apparently, all anyone needs to obtain that power is 3 minutes in the Sith Helmet
I was surprised such a powerful Jedi had no defence.
Its almost as if the dark side is easier and quick...especially when you already have a high level of force sensitivity.
Plagueis on screen for 5 seconds was such key jangling.
That’s all I wanted
@@joeschmoe8504 lol.
The original pitch for this show was that it was going to be about the Sith from their perspective. In the end it really wasn't.
Yep…in the end it showed a weak sauce entourage of Jedi even tho Sol bested Qimir 2x. Or at least let him win
This first season felt like it was trying to justify that premise for a season 2. And only in season 2 did they plan on delivering that. Which sucks because at this stage season 2 doesnt seem very likely..
Yes, as a viewer I feel cheated and lied to.
Thank you, guys, for doing this first reaction mini show!
Why the hell did Bazil yank the wires from the wall!? That was so dumb
Because sol was going to shoot down Mae! I was confused to but rewatched and sol had bad intentions so I think basil was trying to stop sol
@@quinnjones9006 Exactly this - I came away and thought it was obvious that was what was doing. He intervened with PIP to stop Mae in ep 6 from killing Sol. But, then in Ep 8 you have 3 moments where Bazil is sneaking around watching everything and sees Sol and growling more and more suspicious of Sol acting more and more out of kilter to a good Jedi. Then the moment where he sees Sol lock weapons on Mae, he intervenes to stop him from killing Mae and PIP. He's literally intevening to preserve life, knowing Sol has been acting badly and Mae is just trying to escape.
(I'm tempted to go back and rewatch with audio descriptions on to see if they describe Bazil's physical actions).
@@quinnjones9006yes, I figured that. But WHY? And how'd he know? Cant smell intent! Why does Bazil even know hes zeroing in on her? His nose? That makes zero sense. And even if he could, why does he give a shit? This broad just stabbed Sol in the chest with a Speak n Spell.
That whole Bazil thing on the ship was dumb.
Other than that, I thought the episode was pretty good.
Bazil rat face chipmunk was so annoying
@@quinnjones9006, Basil is force sensitive via smell via my #headcannon
Plagueis the Teenage Creeper
Bazil turned double heel..somehow.
Bazillion is evil
Totally agree with Jason’s comments about the show being depressing too. There doesn’t seem to be the typical Star Wars message of “Hope” to land on
I disagree with Mae having a good arc. Her motivations changed from episode to episode on a whim. I felt muting her lowers her to plot filler going forward. It was clear the show invested much more in Osha’s arc and not Mae’s
Love the positivity for sure, I just don't wanna see Star Wars lose its grit and dumb down the originals! Thanks for the best Star Wars channel out there guys! Enjoy the vacation Jason!!
I find it disturbing they leave it implying that Vernestra is about to make Yoda complicit in a corrupt cover-up.
That's not what happened at all....and BTW that was baby Yoda, Grogu.....she came into the room to change his diaper.
@@dbapto6994ahh oh course 😂
Somehow Yoda does know abour The Rule of Two
@@gregwaltz5238 leave poor Yoda alone....he's not bothering anyone.
@@dbapto6994 He did withold critical information regarding Darth Vader to Luke Skywalker in The Empire Strikes Back
sniff sniff sniff basil. whats the point
It feels like they are so, focused, on making the Jedi look bad at the moment that I really worry if they get a second season. What are they going to do with Yoda that can carry through to the Phantom Menace. Are they going to make him yet another liar/cheat/fop like every other Jedi in this show? There was a lot of potential here but the wishy washy flip flopping of Mae and Osha just made me uninterested in their story. I loved Qimir, he has so much potential. But every Jedi is flawed and uselss. That I don't like. Also Bazil is only good after roasting on an open flame. What an annoying character, knows everything without evidence.... where have they done that before....
Somehow I went from being very invested in the characters by the second episode of this, to not caring at all by the end. So many dead, and I don't care. The show is too hard to follow, I had to stop the finale three times just to think about what the hell was even going on. Bazil.... what the hell is the point of Bazil?
The point of Bazil is that they're hoping to sell toys.
Great ending to the series. Reminded me of TROS messy but so many good moments. Sol v Stranger, chase through the asteroid field, Plagueis being a Muun, Ravencourts speech to Vernestra
I really hope there is not a second season
Jimmy Mac's face finally matches his voice 😂
I mean…I watched the series to completion. Is it as good as Rogue One? F NO!
This episode/show has left me feeling angry and confused.
Does Vernestra really believe Sol to be a bad Jedi and a murderer; is she that stupid or is she lying through her teeth and using him as a patsy?
Why didn’t Sol explain his actions in a clear and concise manner? I guess he needed to be as obtuse as possible so the plot could get Osha to an emotional place so that she would kill him? Btw, the actress acting in that scene was so bad, lacking emotion. The lightsaber fight was awesome though. And why couldn’t Mae leave with Osha and Smilo-Ren on the same ship, why did they need to wipe her mind? Frustrating to see the two cameos and leave the plot unresolved. Why can’t we get full and complete story arcs anymore, why must there always be plot threads left hanging? What was the point of teasing Plaguis if he wasn’t going to show up and kill all of the Jedi?

Always great to hear FJ's take
An 8-episode exhibition of failed potential. This could have been SO good in the hands of a more competent writer and producer. Everything that’s here to like is immediately followed by the stupidest characters’ actions, decisions and ‘motivations’ imaginable. It is, or borders on, pure nonsense so many times that it never allows you to get fully immersed in the story and the fictional universe. I like the sets, props and costumes. Didn’t mind the studio feel except a few shots in episode 4 which just didn’t blend cgi and real-world jungle footage well. But the writing in this, omg… Focusing more on SW being SW and less on self-inserting into the story and preaching would have helped a lot too.
Lucasfilm really need to employ competent writers & directors. Why do other TV shows not have this problem? It's who's in charge that is the problem. They are either green lighting inferior scripts or changing scripts significantly to suit a narrative that isn't working. To be fair even a good director can't direct a bad script. You can't polish a turd.
Thanks, love seeing FJ, looking forward to Monday.
You guys are way too generous with this show. It's horrible
Just something emblematic of the incompetence of this show and Disney SW in general through the years:
The Sith guy said to "strike him down" to Mae about Sol AFTER she had already tossed her saber away making her intentions clear. So what tf did he want her to strike Sol down with? A fart? And no, a force choke wouldn't be a "strike".
I swear Disney LF consistently makes and most basic and egregious of writing errors and logic flaws. The strike him down request should've been delivered BEFORE she tossed her saber. NOT AFTER
Remember how the climax in ROTJ went? Palpatine demanded Luke to strike Vader down. Luke paused to look at his and his father's hands. Which reminded him of their bond not just of their biology. But of their blood as father and son. Then Luke threw his saber away proclaiming himself his father's son.
Logical order and sequence of events. Conflict. Suspense. Proper build. Powerfully moving resolution. Done.
But of course, that's not how Disney LF rolls. So in Acolyte Sith bro said strike our boy down AFTER THE SABER HAD ALREADY BEEN TOSSED AWAY.
Imagine if Palpatine had said strike him down to Luke after he tossed his saber aside and proudly proclaimed that he was a Jedi like his father. Would that make any sense emotionally or logically?
It's like writers, directors, and producers at Disney LF saw the OT once a long time ago, just forgot how everything happened exactly, and are now just doing their best to create their SW content from the best of what they could recall from the OT. And failing miserably at it.
Chut Chut y’all
What am I doing here, I haven’t watched the episode!?
Please stop saying Plajeeyus lol Palpatine pronounces it Plagus.
(Edit- nm you guys corrected it lol)
Also I believe Bazil did not want Sol to shoot Mae. He was about to shoot her ship and that's what triggered Bazil to pull the wires. He wanted her captured but not killed I presume.
A solid 6/10. Enjoyable but you’re left stung with what the show could have been. Literally every Star Wars show so far except Andor and S1 of The Mandalorian.
Ah well…
Let’s hear what Paul thinks about the show?🙂
Are we ever going to see a swashbuckling Star Wars? Things are getting too depressing!
A lot of the $180 million when to shills and all the people who had to interview LH after every episode for damage control.
This season felt like a prequel to the show we all thought we'd get from the beginning. Clearly setting up a season 2 that hopefully is closer to what we were all wanting.
Great precise review
Please review dish soap. Much better than the acolyte.
That wasn’t Plagueis that was Longlegs!
This was big crap and bad
With the overwhelmingly positive reaction to the show, plus the nerve jangling finale, we're going to see a lot of good things in season 2.
Probably.
What a brilliant fricken show. I want more!!!
Ok I see yall a little slow the little beaver thing pulled the cord was because sol was tapping into the dark side and he thought he was gonna shoot may out the sky simple just pay attention
That was the only way to stop her from turning osha. Mae leads osha to believe sol killed whatever her name is for nothing when we all saw her turn into a crazy demon cloud any reasonable person would think she’s about to kill Mae and possibly everyone else. If sol killed Mae yeah maybe osha would never learn sol killed lesbo mommy but she wouldn’t turn to the dark side over a lie that Mae wasn’t about to be killed by that stupid demon cloud and sol only wanted to protect the children and let osha live the life the lesbos are trying to stop her from living because they’d rather influence their own interests on the children, almost like a the witches are the exact same patriarchy they’re trying to destroy.
Such a pointless and annoying character.
O yea that makes perfect sense the bever was so well in tune with the force he could tell Sol turning to the dark side.
Gtfo with that why would the bever care about that? Mae is killer that killed 2 jedi and for all he know she came to kill Sol.
We have to wait until season 2 to learn the beaver’s pronouns
@@walter_the_wobot2349 Hey, it's a badger not a beaver. Correct classifications thankyou very much. Or is it a stote???
That was the most painful cringe fan fiction I've ever seen. Just wow if I could give a negative 4 i would but at least it made me laugh a few times with how absurdly bad it was 😅👎👎👎👎
This show has been insulting and spit in the face to long time star wars fans. Once again rewriting how the force works, attempting to ruin the nobility and ability of Jedi, and taking away the significance of anakin. I wonder what George would say about the power of maaaaanny 😂
Bingo! Awful show
Holy dog S&*% Disney. What have you done. Horrible mess
George himself rewrote how the force works multiple times lmao. He would chuckle at the power of many and forget about it before he woke up the next morning
Agreed. This show is an embarrassment to Lucas and Star Wars.
@@larsonatorss except his stuff was good and it was his story to change a completely different situation.
Woke o lyte will not age well.
I like RFR but don't care for FJ as a guest due to his foul language. (I don't have much interest in "The Acolyte", anyway. I just like listening to RFR.)
Loved the series and ready for season two
Maybe this is a dumb question: But if Qimir ages slowly (he has been around for a long time apperently) couldn't he be Palpatine?
Wow listen to this casual going on about wasting his poor time. Tissue? Come on man. Get over yourself. You probably hated on the prequels back then too.
A acyolte fanboy wow a rare sight not many of you guys.
