It's all just for people's money. Corporations do not give a shit about you. They literally only care about your wallet and that's it.
The problem with half that crowd is that they never actually care about the universe. They'll write articles on how it did a "good job" but never come out and actually support it while moving on towards the next product.
I will never forgive this garbage show for retconning Master Ki Adi Mundi into a plot that takes place 40 years before he was born, just to make him into a cowardly, scheming politician trying to cover up a Sith conspiracy. Total character assassination.
I more hope that this is show that will be utterly forgotten, lost to other films and shows that outshone it to such a degree that people will be surprised to see it on the wikipedia page.
headland is still trying to defend this show. she is still insulting and blaming the fans. what a freak, of course it's our fault headland, the fans have spoken and you still don't have a clue. but we didn't write this trash that is all on you!
It's so embarrassing, I can barely stomach it. 🙄🤮🙄 And just to be clear, I happen to be an award-winning author. "The A$$0lyte" is a MASTERCLASS on how *not* to approach storytelling. Literally (hah) every literary or cinematic technique is absent from the project. What a bloody disaster.
As far as I'm concerned unfinished shows aren't canon and even if this trash pile got finished I still wouldn't consider it canon. There is no way Ki Adi Mundi would exist in the high republic he was in his 70's during the prequels this woman didn't even do the slightest bit of research before creating this dog shit of a show.
Remember its our fault it got cancelled because we didnt like what they offered. This is what happens when a person has been conditioned to believe their best is always good enough and any negative criticism is by bad people.
Coming back from the gym, already in good mood but this definitely made my day, and now I can't wait to know who are they gonna blame for this mess, my money is they're gonna go with men for "Not being tolerant and respectful" and of course "Racist and close minded"
Disney: We cancelled The Acolyte. Also Disney: We greenlit a new star wars show called The Apprentice. Its going to be a direct sequel to season one of the Acolyte. Anyone who criticizes it is a sexist and a racist because its an entirely different show now, so none of the criticism is valid.
I know the showrunners will blame the anti-woke crowd for thinking the cast was *too diverse* or something, but the breakout star of the show was The Stranger, an asian, as well as Sol, another asian. Everyone liked Smilo Ren and Squid Game guy and they're *part* of the "diverse cast" that ostensibly was the major complaint held by the critics of the show.
Yeah. Real Star Wars fans genuinely considered Sol and The Stranger the big highlights of the show, so I think MSM should think twice before lumping us in with Fandom Menace grifters (who are also roaming the comment sections) this time.
@@bedlam6700 Simple. Because of the increased popularity of K-dramas here in the western world. You know, stuff like Sweet Home (no relation to the Japanese film), Squid Game, that sorta thing. Picture the popularity of Anime and J-horror in the 1990s and 2000s and you'll see what I mean.

You weren't wrong, everyone is complaining about how we'll just keep getting new content set post Order 66. I think Star Wars fans just want good shows that aren't filled with garbage storylines and annoying characters
I love how these “articles” can always summarized into “this thing had a strong fanbase and a positive reception and did great but it was cancelled and not for the reasons anyone who is not my friend says”. Mark my words, this wrtiting team will convince the low brain investors to give them another project.
Such a strong fanbase it was almost never in the Top10 most viewed stats on D+ despite having the highest budget. Must have been all those Sith misogynists mindcontrolling everyone into not watching it.
After that shit Disney pulled with the woman who died and the husband who can't sue because of a Disney+ subscription, these donuts needed SOMETHING positive on their plate.
@GG-bv9ch you mean thank you for doing a basic google search because you are lazy. You're welcome. Also fuck disney they are still potentially liable but I think blantly writing false information inflates stupid people egos and they should be corrected.
It's nice having the joes on the right side for once. It's rare that they are willing to bash trash for being trash if it has something they support in it. I'm just happy to see them not only come around, but also embrace that coming around.
@@Chozo_hybrid Fair enough, but I dislike the narrative that Star Wars fans love complaining. Honestly, the last incredible Star Wars movie was Empire, so we've had a long stretch of mediocre and bad. At least under Lucas, he had unique ideas and didn't try to pander to anyone. Disney has 0 respect for the franchise and doesn't care about any of the products they pump out
Disney: You’re fired. Headland: Fired? What do you mean fired? Disney: How else can I say it? You’re being let go, your department’s being downsized, you’re part of an outplacement, we’re going in a different direction, we’re not picking up your option… take your pick. I got more.
Thought Experiment: If 'The Acolyte' had nothing to do with Star Wars, could it stand on its own merits and would people watch it? Answer: No. It's objectively terrible. It's been more fun to just watch it fall apart.
Twitter is melting down trying to pin the blame on anything but the show being bad for why it had low viewership blaming RUclips influencers despite the fact that the the general audience average Andy doesn't listen to Star Wars influencers on RUclips
The funny thing is, if you go by twitter, you'd swear this was the most popular tv show since Seinfeld or some shit. But it was the least watched Star Wars show yet, lol.
I wish they would just understand it’s not that we have a problem with women leads - house of the dragon is badass with a woman leading the show. It’s just don’t make the woman character annoying and overpowered and so perfect you can’t stand her
Like how all the Twitter guys who were posting how it was the greatest show ever and only haters hate it and now spamming Twitter to farm the last bit of engagement from it's corpse, acting surprised and blaming "the haters" for it's failure as if they didn't already know, didn't watch themselves and aren't just farming clicks.

It has see the end of Disney it will soon see the end of the woke.
Nobody will remember the show in a year.
I more hope that this is show that will be utterly forgotten, lost to other films and shows that outshone it to such a degree that people will be surprised to see it on the wikipedia page.
Star Wars man must be elated.
headland is still trying to defend this show. she is still insulting and blaming the fans. what a freak, of course it's our fault headland, the fans have spoken and you still don't have a clue. but we didn't write this trash that is all on you!
Harvey’s assistant is mad
THE POWER OF ONE... horrible season....
THE POWER OF TWO... never being made...
THE POWER OF MANY... people not watching the show...
1st Halo, now Acolyte
You're next, Rings of Power
I'm surprised it's still going forward.
It's so embarrassing, I can barely stomach it. 🙄🤮🙄 And just to be clear, I happen to be an award-winning author. "The A$$0lyte" is a MASTERCLASS on how *not* to approach storytelling. Literally (hah) every literary or cinematic technique is absent from the project. What a bloody disaster.
I believe Amazon already paid for the whole 4-5 seasons of Rings of Power. So I doubt they will cancel it.
If you want this to happen, no one should be watching on prime video.
What was disney thinking hiring all of these batshit crazy writers? Lmao
The power of manyyyyy
Many women violated by Harvey, watched by his assistant Leslie
The Power WITHIIIIIIIIIIN!
Yeah!
The power of ONE….season
The power of the many people who didn't watch after Ep1 is what got it cancelled.
Joe….don’t overthink it buddy. The Acolyte wasn’t cannon. Wipe it completely out of your mind. Nobody is going to care about what happened 😂
As far as I'm concerned unfinished shows aren't canon and even if this trash pile got finished I still wouldn't consider it canon. There is no way Ki Adi Mundi would exist in the high republic he was in his 70's during the prequels this woman didn't even do the slightest bit of research before creating this dog shit of a show.
Exactly. That trash isn't canon
Yep not cannon
An extra expensive -fan- project
Seeing how they didn't care about all the books and said they are not canon, I can also not care about anything Disney makes and say the same thing.
We will all remember the phrase "Anakin blew up the death star"
YAAAS, YAAASS!
The way Joe's face lit up... I hope to feel that kind of joy one day.
Thank god
The power of Joe.
The power of Other Joe.
The power of Alexxxxxx...
Remember its our fault it got cancelled because we didnt like what they offered. This is what happens when a person has been conditioned to believe their best is always good enough and any negative criticism is by bad people.
I'll tell you Joe, "Poochie died on the way to his home planet." The End🤣
Someone as old as me watches RUclips?
@@gangsterHOTLINE My dad's 60 and he watches RUclips.
ACOLYTE’S DEAD!!! Hohohohuckhuckhuck!!!🎉
Coming back from the gym, already in good mood but this definitely made my day, and now I can't wait to know who are they gonna blame for this mess, my money is they're gonna go with men for "Not being tolerant and respectful" and of course "Racist and close minded"
Disney: We cancelled The Acolyte.
Also Disney: We greenlit a new star wars show called The Apprentice. Its going to be a direct sequel to season one of the Acolyte. Anyone who criticizes it is a sexist and a racist because its an entirely different show now, so none of the criticism is valid.
I know the showrunners will blame the anti-woke crowd for thinking the cast was *too diverse* or something, but the breakout star of the show was The Stranger, an asian, as well as Sol, another asian. Everyone liked Smilo Ren and Squid Game guy and they're *part* of the "diverse cast" that ostensibly was the major complaint held by the critics of the show.
Yeah. Real Star Wars fans genuinely considered Sol and The Stranger the big highlights of the show, so I think MSM should think twice before lumping us in with Fandom Menace grifters (who are also roaming the comment sections) this time.
why are asians in every show now?
@@bedlam6700 Because bare minimum effort "diversity" but at least Asians haven't embraced the Woke hopefully they never will.
@@bedlam6700 Simple. Because of the increased popularity of K-dramas here in the western world. You know, stuff like Sweet Home (no relation to the Japanese film), Squid Game, that sorta thing. Picture the popularity of Anime and J-horror in the 1990s and 2000s and you'll see what I mean.
Because workers were getting bashed for diversifying with blacks only
How they wrap it up: Sol wakes up. " ah it was all just a dream."
but was it a ....... Legend? 🤣
Good ending 😂
The power of woke
The power of broke
The end of the series
@0:15 all i can think of is that ep of Spongebob where Squidward is trippin' ballz and that old hippy dude in his hallucination goes "THE POWER WITHIN"
Holy shit it's also literally the same flow too 😂😭😭
Holy shit, i just realize that😮😮😮😂😂😂
The end of phantom menace celebration is what comes to mind for me
The power within.

Thank god. Still waiting on Andor Season 2 and I'm starting to think I should be grateful it's not out yet. It ended on such a high note and it'll only work if the writing continues to be good. Please just bless us with something on that level Disney...
Andor has been done for a while. It's just post-production for it. It should've come out this year but they pushed Acolyte and Skeleton Crew.
That's what they get for killing off the Squid Game guy and X-23 actress
And Trinity from the Matrix
@@flipyapd2321 Yes. How did I forget that
The Acolyte subreddit is coping hard. It’s hilarious to see
Never watched this show but are there people seriously liking this? 😂
You weren't wrong, everyone is complaining about how we'll just keep getting new content set post Order 66. I think Star Wars fans just want good shows that aren't filled with garbage storylines and annoying characters
@@stefandinu6389 They make 2-minute YT shorts about how hot the sweaty rat boyfriend is who seduced the heroine after murdering her friends.
Reddit sucks
Full of commies @@M_M386
VICTORY SCREEEEEECH! ALOOLOOLOOLOOLOOLOO!
There is no more: "I AM A STARWARS FAN" ... just let it go, move on, find new hobbies, new passions to pursue! RIP Star Wars!
Holy crap, they actually SAVED Darth Plagueis from being ruined forever. The stars must have aligned.
"The power of failuuuuurrrreee!!" I pissed my pants laughing at that. 🤣😂
The power of one-
No, there's no two. It's cancelled.
I find Disney's lack of faith in The Acolyte refreshing.
The power one one (season and then cancelled)
The power of two (terrible showrunners out of a job)
The power of many (star wars fans celebrating)
When you make a music video trashing male fans in a 70% male fanbase, things like this happen. Who knew?
Oh no! Anyway…
I knew this was coming haha Plagueis can't catch a break
Better to have no Plagueis all than a plagueis written by Leslie headland
@patrickconnor8521 exactly this was Plagueis getting a break
I love how these “articles” can always summarized into “this thing had a strong fanbase and a positive reception and did great but it was cancelled and not for the reasons anyone who is not my friend says”.
Mark my words, this wrtiting team will convince the low brain investors to give them another project.
Such a strong fanbase it was almost never in the Top10 most viewed stats on D+ despite having the highest budget. Must have been all those Sith misogynists mindcontrolling everyone into not watching it.
Not even the power of many could save such a train wreck 🤷♂️😂
Normally I am upset or indifferent at hearing about a cancellation. But this one right here, feels goooooood. Well deserved.
Why cant they give a 2nd season of Obi Wan 100 million$ ? They had half the budget of Acolyte? FFS...
Smartest thing Disney has done in a while.
"The mission, the nightmares, they're finally over"
Alex in the background rocking with happiness 😂😂😂
There is a GOD
The show was an abomination! Soon we can forget about it and heal!😅
No. No there’s not and never has been. Glad this garbage show is canceled though.
I would not go that far.
Amen brother!
No.
After that shit Disney pulled with the woman who died and the husband who can't sue because of a Disney+ subscription, these donuts needed SOMETHING positive on their plate.
Yeah, disney didn't even own that restaurant, soooooo. Also, he can sue they are just trying to force arbitration, which isn't the same thing.
@@t7khxleviathan22 glad we have the soy squad decensing the soulless corporate. Thank you for your shilling... I mean service
@GG-bv9ch you mean thank you for doing a basic google search because you are lazy. You're welcome. Also fuck disney they are still potentially liable but I think blantly writing false information inflates stupid people egos and they should be corrected.
Omg the audio description got me. I am glad the Bleeding was patched and the Lore maybe has a hope of being healed.
I don’t think I’ve ever been so happy for a tv show being cancelled
The power of one… the power of two… the power of FaAaAailure!!
I think I was a bit happier when Batwoman was canceled. What a good day :)
@@alexandrejust4771 i would’ve liked to have seen Branden Fraser as Firefly tho, even if the rest of the movie was poo-poo
@@behurastudio oh not that batgirl movie. I was talking about the Batwoman CW series
@@alexandrejust4771 ohhhh thats right! No yeah that one sucked LMAO
Even Darth Pelagius could not create life for season 2
the force is with you buddy
It's nice having the joes on the right side for once.
It's rare that they are willing to bash trash for being trash if it has something they support in it. I'm just happy to see them not only come around, but also embrace that coming around.
Disney needs to sell the ip to literally anyone else.
They are actually killing the whole franchise
They've already killed it. There is no going back.
Killing? This IP has been dead for YEARS
It's already dead. We need someone else to reboot it and give it life again.
@@BritBox777 couldn’t agree more 👍
IP was dead the second they released The Last Jedi. Mando season 2 was the last good Disney release imo
The force was not with them on this. LMAO🤣🤣🤣
The thread*
The farce was
the canon has been jacked since they deleted all of the canon
Watching "fans" say the Acolyte was good was beyond infuriating. I can't wait to see how they cope now that it's been cancelled...
Jesus christ, as someone who didn't bother watching it, both side of the Star Wars Disney era shit show have been insufferable.
@@Chozo_hybrid Fair enough, but I dislike the narrative that Star Wars fans love complaining. Honestly, the last incredible Star Wars movie was Empire, so we've had a long stretch of mediocre and bad. At least under Lucas, he had unique ideas and didn't try to pander to anyone. Disney has 0 respect for the franchise and doesn't care about any of the products they pump out
Bro I tried. I really hate hate trains on shows but man this one was unbelievably bad
They didn't decanonize it, so this is the first appearance of Plagueis. Forever. Lol
@@Chozo_hybrid _Agreed._
"Don't f*** with yo discourse" Amandla Stenberg? Seems you do now...
Disney: You’re fired.
Headland: Fired? What do you mean fired?
Disney: How else can I say it? You’re being let go, your department’s being downsized, you’re part of an outplacement, we’re going in a different direction, we’re not picking up your option… take your pick. I got more.
They couldn't even reach the power of two! 🤣
Because they never had the power of many actually watching it.
No “big win” for KK today 😂
Thought Experiment: If 'The Acolyte' had nothing to do with Star Wars, could it stand on its own merits and would people watch it?
Answer: No. It's objectively terrible. It's been more fun to just watch it fall apart.
2:32 You couldn’t even pay me to say this series was good, evidently some people don’t have standards.
The Acolyte canceled: the power of moneeeyyy!
Twitter is melting down trying to pin the blame on anything but the show being bad for why it had low viewership blaming RUclips influencers despite the fact that the the general audience average Andy doesn't listen to Star Wars influencers on RUclips
Poochie...I mean the Acolyte twins, died on their way back to their home planet. The end!
The Acolyte did not have the power of many numbers.
We've already seen the power of many wasn't much, Trinity f'ed them all up unknowingly and effortlessly.
@@GenJuhru I meant viewers. 😅
Now, don’t ever let the producers/ show runners/ writers be involved in anything ever again.
The funny thing is, if you go by twitter, you'd swear this was the most popular tv show since Seinfeld or some shit.
But it was the least watched Star Wars show yet, lol.
Seinfeld? Trash.
Congratulations,you now know the power of paid bots and culture wars shills.
@@bulletsunderpressureyou’re trash, Seinfeld did numbers
Now the Stenberg girl can focus on practicing her dancing and whispering rap skills
The power of CRINGE, thank goodness.
Now if only Amazon could get it through their thick heads and cancel Rings of Power.
I wish they would just understand it’s not that we have a problem with women leads - house of the dragon is badass with a woman leading the show. It’s just don’t make the woman character annoying and overpowered and so perfect you can’t stand her
Amazon won't cancel RoP (or WoT, which is even worse) as long as people watch.
@@Axterix13 WoT?
@@shadowjudge921 Wheel of Time
Idk the final trailer to ROP 2 looks 100 times better than season 1, we will see, but I don’t have any hope.
This is the first time Angry Joe smiled while playing a MADDEN football game.
Andor on the other hand was AMAZING
Like how all the Twitter guys who were posting how it was the greatest show ever and only haters hate it and now spamming Twitter to farm the last bit of engagement from it's corpse, acting surprised and blaming "the haters" for it's failure as if they didn't already know, didn't watch themselves and aren't just farming clicks.
Then who the hell is The Fandom Menace? The OTHER Twitter guys? Because you people were just as bad as Disney were when it came to this show.
@@NebLleb "you people were just as bad as Disney were"?, "Who the hell is the Fandom Menace?"?
Who are the "You people" you're trying to lump me with? I'm not following the context.
I've heard the hate the actors got hate for Phantom Menace, but that was 1999, internet was hardly as accessible as it was now. People watched that movie in cinemas and the hate probably got sent by mail.
