- The High Republic Jedi might have numbers on their side... but when it comes to pure fighting skills, I find their lack of training disturbing.

I will say I did absolutely love the dark dude's entrance. The slow float down in the dark was *chef's kiss*
does that have anything to do with the fact that qimir was in a tree?
Nah that’s some Sardaukar sh*t
Was genuinely bone chilling
The creepiest thing I’ve ever seen in a SW. 🫣
Holy shit you people are real..
Qimir is acting, just like Sheev did. I think Qimir is Smilo Ren, but not a Sith master. He’s actually the Sith apprentice who’s looking for an acolyte to make into his student so that he can overthrow his master.
"Don't let my enjoyment and interest, take away from your hatred". Classic!!
Nah, fuck their hatred. It's the antithesis to Star Wars.
I'm really enjoying the show so far. But it's true that so many fans are so damn proud that they get to unite in their hatred for something. SMH.
@@ichigen511tell us your favorite part? Tell us what makes the show so interesting? Tell us about the mystery 😂😂😂
@@Infamous1892 This show is showing us how the arrogance of the Jedi will grow to a point 100 years later the Sith just walk into teh Senate and take over. The Jedi do NOT want to believe the Sith are back. So for example they are NOT letting the high council know what's going on. They want to end what's happened before the high coucil get involved. This will be to their downfall. I love Star Wars lore and this is giving fans like me what I want about how the Jedi could let Sith come back into power. They are arrogant and don't want to know the truth.
It's okay to not like the show. If you don't see giant issues with Disney's treatment of SW, then cool. Enjoy it as you will. But if folks point out real, logical problems with the story and canon and cite references backing their argument, it has a place in a conversation. But then the White Knights and Cope Kings come in and try to shame every person for having original thoughts and opinions on a show that don't match their own. Making their projections of blaming others for doing it even more obvious.
If you love the new Star Wars, then I think your judgement is bad. But I'm happy for you as well because I'm not here to take your enjoyment away from you. What Disney is doing right now in their live action SW offerings isn't entertaining for me anymore. It's Star Wars reimagined as Twilight, with a bunch of LGBT stuff thrown into the story with no real point other than to shock and awe and force people into understanding that this is Star Wars now. It's not about a magical prophecy telling a Heroes' journey to redeem the sins of his father. It's a bunch of bitter pessimists blaming everything on men. It's about tearing down the idea that there can be good, positive things in the world to work towards and replacing it with the mentality of that life is always a bitter struggle of betrayal and getting them before they get you. And that it's always someone else's fault, never your own. I personally don't like that ideal or endgame for Star Wars. YMMV.
Qimir really gives me the whole drunken Kung fu master vibe
Exactly!,me too.
OMG I was thinking that too!!! Well done.
That’s what I was thinking, he really gives me villain vibes but then I remember the people in charge and I just doubt they would give him such an important role. I think it’s the zabrak mom, that would tie it in more to osha and mae.
@@corvus2512 Yeah,its either one or the other..but the twins are the same person I am increasingly confident of.
Something ala Mr.Robot with hallucinations and unreliable narrator and editing tricks etc.
@@corvus2512the leaks confirm it’s Qimir
Yup. As soon as I saw the group in the most recent episode I turned and said, ‘that’s a lot of red shirts….’
Honestly most rule of two sith are much stronger than your average Jedi only a Jedi grand master has a chance.
But is that a Sith? It doesn't have to be does it?
My thoughts exactly!
@@josephroberts1266 Yeah it doesn't & i bet it ain't a Sith 🙂 I'll restream S01E04 tomorrow evening via D+ & dark room as always when adventure into Galaxy Far, Far Away 🙂
@@Scp-682- The dark force sensibility looks like a sith, uses the force like a sith and runs over eight jedi at once and uses a red light saber which is the weapon of a sith.
It is strange then that the Jedi will not even consider this is a Sith as it would violate Canon.
This person must have received training in the power that far surpasses normal jedis which I believe only the sith can provide.
Even if it turns out that this is a Jedi behind the mask, this does not mean that it cannot be a Jedi who has become a Sith and then hid among the Jedi for many years.
There is no reason to speculate that the Jedi in The Acolyte are worse than the ones we see in the prequel trilogy because there have been 900 years of peace.
Before the war breaks out in the prequel trilogy, there have been 1000 years of peace.
Thank you for reviewing and discussing The Acolyte without the culture war nonsense. You might get less views than the hate watchers but some of us very much appreciate your work.
I enjoy his take on the show.
I see both sides of it. There is definitely culture war stuff imbedded in some of the dialogue and characters within the show that doesn’t add to anything other than wider political narratives that don’t really work the way the showrunners have chosen to portray in Star Wars. However, the culture war stuff is a lot smaller than the actual issues with plot, writing, dialogue, character motivations and lore breaking material within the show
@@madisonbordenave4869 There aren't any lore issues, story issues, sure. Witches doing weird sh-t is canon. Manipulating the force to make life is canon. Ki-Adi-Mundi being a moron and pretending the dark side doesn't exist is canon. I'm 100% positive Yoda and Mace didn't believe the Sith were gone for 1000 years.
@@madisonbordenave4869 What's this culture war stuff that's embedded in the show? Tell me what exactly this is.
Hate watchers are definitely not the sort of views any RUclipsr should want to get.
"Do I even have a name? Do I? What is my name?"
🤣 imagine if they actually had one of them doing that before they get cut down
Turns out it's Fleegman.
I'm on the edge of kicking every hater channel off my subscriptions. I'm so sick of it. The show is interesting, and enjoyable. Some people want Star Wars their way and that's not how it works. I'm 50. I've loved StarWars my whole life. I'll be damned if I'm going to let someone else tell me how I should feel about it. F@$^ OFF. Loved your video, I just subscribed.
The ending of this video blew me away because I think Allen figured it out. IT IS QIMIR. But isn’t really. He is a puppet, hence why he is afraid of "the master". The master possesses him and others, the master "collects" people. Torbin was easily subjugated on episode 3, we know from the trailers that the same happened with Kelnacca. We also know that for some reason, both Kelnacca and Torbin are the most remorseful by what happened on the planet Brendok. What if ‘possessing’ Qimir, Torbin, Kelnacca is a way of perpetually binding these people to their master? Whatever this dark force user is doing - and I’m betting that’s Mother Koril - is scheming, it involves using people to do their dirty work. Koril doesn’t simply takes over Mae or Osha because they are their daughters, she wants them to succumb to the dark side just like her. I cannot fucking wait for next week.
this is why im still interested in this show , its easy to come up with theories, but non of us know exactly what's happening. That's exciting :)
I like it. It's another possible path.
I will be surprised if they can land this thing... but who knows? I do hold out some hope.
@@station7thedoorI keep holding the same hope with every new series so far, even though I keep being let down in the end. With each new one I think maybe, just maybe this one will be different
0:23 Idk why but this sentence made me laugh out loud💀
Other channels are making fun of Generation Tech's Acolyte coverage. Never thought I would see that happen.
I have tried explaining the fact the Jedi haven't had any real threats which is why one died at the start etc etc but people are just saying oh they are Jedi they are trained for lightsaber combat and just miss the point
They aren’t real fans , if they can’t comprehend something so basic in Star Wars lore.
It's the same with traditional martial artists nowadays. You have like a hand full of schools actually teaching how to fight with that stuff, that use regular sparing against resisting opponents and techniques that are become obsolete are sorted out, where the people training it actually can fight and then a vast bubble of schools just teaching dozens of forms, without actually understanding what those were meant for in the first place and just focus on aesthetics, instead of practoicality and then get their asses handed to them, thinking they can fight, by just doing forms alone.
People who train to fight properly are better fighters, no matter what practical style they prefere using and people who don't train how to fight, can't. Simple as that.
I’m here for the Acolyte. I’m enjoying it for what it is. Just like I’ve been here for the rest of the Star Wars story. The haters and the grifting Star Wars content creators can frig off!
I think Qimir might be The Apprentice. I'm pretty sure we have seen only seen The Apprentice. I have a feeling The Master has infiltrated the Temple and is posing as a Jedi. The Apprentice working with assassins and acolytes makes sense.
Mae:Qimir::Asajj:Dooku
She’s the apprentice’s apprentice, and one of them is screwed, especially if the main master is plagueis.
I say we start calling him Darth NomNom
its actually smilo-ren
@@NETBU I want nothing to do or anything that reminds me of the sequel movies
Darth Farticus.
😂
Darth Gimp (suit)
An un-named Jedi rushing into a lightsaber fight with a Sith Lord is like Guy on Galaxy Quest: "I'm not even supposed to be here! I'm just "Crewman Number Six" -- I'm expendable! I'm the guy in the episode who dies to prove how serious the situation is!" 😅
At the beginning of the episode, I called them "redshirts".
Just a comment to say keep trucking, I’m enjoying your content, was a bit bummed about the possible lore break in ep3 and you changed my view on that.
“All these Jedi aren’t named…last time that happened” lol 🤣🤣🤣🪦
This very weakness was evident in Legends . Aurra Sing (in Legends) was an abandoned padawan who eventually went to kill several members of the order. A lack of dueling proficiency, a cocky attitude on opponents who they think they have an advantage on (in numbers or skill), or underestimating the power of the Force of the enemy.
”Keep youre movents tight and avoid unnessery moves that drains youre stamina” (Does half a dozen swirls just to show off.)
LOL. like these people are getting paid to make star wars, the least they could do is have a little notepad with things they need to keep constant throughout the show.
Why wouldn't he demonstrate defensive and battle maneuvers after saying that? It doesn't mean "Don't move at all."
It just seems to me like most of the criticisms of this show I've come across are nitpicks. But that's just my own humble opinion.
I had a thought watching Episode 4, when Qimir brought up how Mae has tried to snatch sabers in mid-battle and she said the whole "Kill a Jedi without a weapon" was more of a riddle than anything.
I'm wondering if instead of meaning "Kill a Jedi while Mae is unarmed" it means "Kill a Jedi who is unarmed (a Jedi without a weapon)"?
Though it could also be a whole metaphor, meaning that she will destroy a Jedi (I'm betting Master Sol) by revealing the truth about what happened in Brandok (perhaps something that even Sol doesn't know yet) or forcing him to confront some other revelation that would cause him to leave the Order, thus "killing a Jedi without a weapon".
They seem to be leading to something along one of those lines, since they keep bringing that line up and continue building toward SOMETHING happening on Brandok beyond just what we've seen so far.
Oh! Very interesting thought I’m curious now myself
Do you mean turning a Jedi to the darkside?
I agree. Whatever happened on Brandok hasn’t been fully explained to us or I believe the Jedi Order as a whole. I think Sol and the others covered something up. Those witches didn’t die in a fire, they clearly hadn’t even been burned yet. It wouldn’t surprise me if one of the mothers survived and is the who Mae calls the master. She knows of the dark side but isn’t a Sith. Because whoever “Master” is, has a clear grudge against the Jedi but more specifically the Jedi who came to their coven that night.
I think “kill a Jedi unarmed” means kill a Jedi’s will to be a Jedi or connection to the light. I agree I think the Master wants the truth of Brandok exposed which will “kill” Master Sol’s will.
My theory is the Jedi could have saved some the witches and elected to only save the Mae and Osha and left the witches to die. And I suspect not all of them died.
@@wesley8616 Not necessarily. It could just mean something that is so devastating to that person that they just leave the order entirely, possibly even cutting themselves off from the Force.
@@LeeWilliams-ve8rj I believe that the if the Master isn't Qimir, it's Mother Koral. The show made sure that we saw Mother Aneseya's body, but I didn't see Mother Koral anywhere. I could see a scenario where she survived and saved Mae. The only problem I have there is why, if that were the case, she would not have revealed herself to Mae.
😆 I love the thumbnail! Glad you're discussing exactly what I was thinking. When you see lots of extra unnamed characters in a team of Jedi combatants, you know there's gonna be lots of casualties. Reminds me of the "Red Shirt" joke in classic Star Trek episodes.
There are still lifelong Star Wars fans who aren't rabid haters that really appreciate your honest approach to this show. I like the High Republic books/comics and really like the show so far. Expressing that opinion has gotten me a lot of hate and called a "fake fan" and worse. Keep on doing this good work Alan! It makes me feel less alone in this Fandom.
These so called haters( who are the fake fans), never grew up during the 1990's, when we were happy to get anything Star Wars.
Also Star Wars always had bad writing in their novels, and force feats in comics tend to be outlandish.
As for Star Trek, Vulcan logic dictates nothing is worth your time to get .. emotional .. or angry about.
Hate takes effort, time, and energy so don't waste it on nonsense or those who are lesser and beneath you.
Ok, so I put some Sith views mixed within that.
Spend your time & money on what you like.
May the Force be with you, and G*D bless.
@@krispalermo8133I agree, but let’s not stoop to their level by calling them fake fans. They may be toxic and unnecessarily negative, but they are still fans of the franchise unfortunately.
@@YourDadYoda Since you phase it that way, I agree and you are right.
But from another point of view, those toxic fans bully way too many actors ruining lives and childhoods.
Since they won't stop being toxic, G.Lucas decided if you though he was bad wait till you see what Disney does to my creation.
From my 47years of life, Star Wars toxic fans are no different than Catholics vs protestant vs protestants, and you have the political parties. They just have to in/ out group people and have to yell hate something or someone.
Other than .. stooping .. to their level, they are fake fans and fake Christians.
Anyone that spreads hate, fear, and anger isn't a Xtian or a Jedi.
They need some real self-help, or Buddhist term .. ego death.
Please don't get me wrong, I am a very hateful person but I am honest about it and make effort to be as polite as I can be when I am out shopping. People have enough everyday stress, and I will not be the one to be a d-ck adding more to it. But you have to call out the B.s.
Thank you for post.
@@krispalermo8133 lack of merchandise sales, closing of star wars theme hotel, star wars theme park not breaking even, Disney still haven't made back the money it payed for the IP , mutli million dollar movie IP reduces to bad TV. You so called fans aren't doing much to support the product and shilling for bad content doesn't count.
@YourDadYoda they just fallen to the dark - unfortunately
Thank you for being fair with this series. I’m certainly enjoying it. I don’t expect everything to be handed to me as it happens. It’s a mystery. We shouldn’t expect the answers until the final episode.
For the haters out there, hate leads to the dark side of the force.
Yeah. And I suspect something is going on with Mae and Osha's bond that we don't quite realize yet. Specifically how Osha's Force powers are growing stronger the closer she gets to Mae.
But .. but.. but.. "PlOThOlES"!
💯💯💯💯💯💯
its one thing to be fair, but he seems to have no criticisms of this show whatsoever. The director of this show does not know Star Wars and not only is creating issues with canon (like all of Disneys new directors) but story wise the character writing is so bad it is laughable especially with all of the overtly obvious political agenda comments throughout the show that detract from what Star Wars is, or at least it could work it were more subtle. there is a reason this show has a 20% audience score. its not good and just leaves a sour taste in my mouth. I want to like it I do but Disney makes it hard. Wish people got to grow up with clone wars and the older movies and not have bias to what they are seeing now.
@@Adam-th2sw Funny because this director has thrown in the most EU references of any Star Wars filmmaker to date. So if anything she’s your ideal old school fan.
Can a Jedi be overweight? You would think discipline is at the heart of being a jedi so they aren’t letting their weight get out of control 🤔
In the High Republic books, there is a portly, or big boned Jedi apprentice Ram Joramam. Where he excelled was in mechanics.
Thank you for not allowing fans to dictate your content
The show is still ass . Disney alrdy cancelled season 2 because of the hate from fans . There’s a reason why Disney is getting so much hate . You seem like the 20% that actually likes the show while 80% of Star Wars fans hate the show
@@SenseiBluex Honestly I still don't understand why even those 20% people love this show, I have seen a lot of people pointing out why they hate and i think many of those opinions are very valid. I'm watching the show and Alon videos about Acolyte but mainly for my own ''research purposes''. I wanted to like this show because of time period... The Show looks like its trying to tell something interesting but quickly falls flat in every single episode. Otherwise love Generation Tech content !
I really like the first line of the video, much like the other commentors. I don't fully get why or how someone liking something you dislike or hate, negatively impacts you.
8:54 Sorry to be "that guy," but Anakin used Form V-Djem So variant. Form IV is Ataru, Yoda & Ahsoka's forms.
He actually uses both-- but yeah it's still technically an oversight in the details.
the fact that you are getting hate for enjoing something proves they are the problem
The fact that the show runner is comparing anyone who points out the plot holes to n&z1$ would disagree with that.
@@mikewaterfield3599your sentence isn’t needed and it Dosent make sense
@@mikewaterfield3599Don't believe everything you see online
Hate? I just say their taste in fiction like that of a slow toddler.
@@mikewaterfield3599if you don't like it don't watch he's actually talking about the show rather than crying about it or those who made it Lesley seems nasty but it's star wars and If wanted I hear about it I'll go to theory and others for rants not everyone needs to though
12:07 That sync right there 😋 Alan's talk about many nice lore things & more is Le Perfecto 🙂
It think the Tracker has something to do with the DarkSider, first he disappears, second, he's at Kelnaccas house seemingly doing nothing.
Another thing is that Kelnacca seemingly died without putting a fight, he was just sitting there death, unless The Darksider surprised him
Nahh the impression I got is that the tracker was just busy sniffing and didn't realize the jedi lost him. That's why he was there, basically waiting for them to catch up. Although that would be a very interesting turn of events, I don't see much payoff to something like that
You mentioning the witches i thought i saw what looks like the swirling patterns the witches use in a few spots of Kelnaccas hut
The same way the fan base is acting now is the same way y’all acted when George was creating the prequels saying that he was ruining what Star Wars was by making it more political and having controversial characters like jarjar like this is always been the problem the fans have always thought they knew more then the creator
best star wars channel out there
At least one of the more open minded
Star Wars Explained is pretty awesome to
@@chase1146he’s not open minded . He just likes a garbage woke show . Star Wars theory will always be the best Star Wars content

@@SenseiBluexSWT is legit the biggest whiney baby out there. Hasnt done anything but complain since the sequels. Just like everyone else.
Thank you for not jumping on the gate train like other RUclipsrs
So far I'm still concerned about this show for continuity reasons but I hate those who never gave shows a chance
The Sith just want to ask the Jedi if their health plans were apparently great.
Kinda makes one want to go on an enthusiastic walk
Simply the best, most objective Star Wars channel on YT. Keep it up
Qimir's name sounds like 'Chimera' to me, and him being so pushy to get there before dark is like he doesn't want his other form to be prematurely revealed
Thank you Allen I appreciate the hug 🤗.. and I'm generation tech 😅
I think the biggest mystery yet to be explored on The Acolyte, is why Jedi Master Sol speaks with a Neimoidian accent.
Just seen today's episode:
Spoiler:
Sol is the sole survivor.
Hehe, i see what you did there
QUESTION: (nerdy nitpicking) I feel like at 03:17 Ataru (Form 4) got accidentally explained as Shien/Djem-So (Form 5) and vice versa?
I think the two got mixed up. Anyone else caught on to this or am I wrong here?
Thank God you caught that too. I really didn't want to be THAT nerd who chimes in to correct, unfortunately that ended up being you. But from one nerd to another, no you're not crazy he did mix up form 4 and 5. I'm sorry you had to fall on the "Umm Actually" sword. Thank you for your service lol 😆
"Sensitive thugs: They all need hugs"
windu to the driod army
Windu: "surrender and you will be repurposed for peace instead of getting melted down for scrap."
driods: "its a jedi, kill him!"
Yup. Sol has Ned Stark written all over him.
he even has pretty much his hairstyle if we're honest.
Yeah... I don't think he's going to survive the series at the very least. We shall see.
i have been thinking qimir is the apprentice of the sith duo, poseing as the master to mei and grooming her into being his acolite ready to become the apprentice when he strikes down his master
Hopefully gen tech sticks to his guns on this. I love Star Wars, anything Star Wars I can get enjoyment out of. Hell wasn’t that long ago I rewatched the old ewok cartoons for nostalgia, they’re the opposite of lore friendly. Like he said hopefully the haters of this show, and the universe seemingly at this point, don’t lose any sleep over the enjoyment we get from these shows. And anyone that dose then you really need to chill out. There’s a large contingent of the fan base that don’t want to hate watch and get angry, we want to enjoy what we are being given, and we’re the ones that will keep watching Star Wars and gen tech
I think it's fine to point out when things are bad. Some of these disney products have had MAJOR flaws. But with this one, I've seen very few. People are definitely overblowing it bc it was written by someone on the other side of the culture war
I love how much you bring up Mace Windu trying to get the battledroids to surrender to him. I met TC Carson at comic con and he remembered that scene well🤣, he also voices Kratos from the first God of War trilogy! What a badass
Kratos and Windu damn 😅
Ummm the thumbnail, soooo only Sol survived
I feel like Qimir's character is inspired by Darth Jar Jar
I love how freaky Darth Smiley looks. Love it ❤
It feels like you're trying to make up ground with them. You shouldn't have to, it only emboldens them. They won't stop, George himself, Hayden Christensen have gotten it too. Think about it; if someone is mad at you for liking Star Wars, there's a problem. We're adults all adults here, we can like what we want. George said he made this stuff for children snd you're basically getting bullied for liking something. Just do your thing. Your content is dope when you do.
Edit: that enjoyment taking away from their hatred kine? Bars. Chef's Kiss. See what I mean? Dope!
I've done a little HEMA and Gum Do. I've always been suspicious of the form lore. It feels like a video game mechanic. The fighting in SW is so fantastical to look fun(I mean not based in reality even after if we accept lightsabers and powers) that logical assessments of these forms and their applications is play acting. it's like comparing the distributed ion hyperdrives of star ships, or like professional wrestling disciplines. unrealistic measure
Usually just a silent watcher, don’t usually comment or engage, but just wanted to give props to you for sticking to your opinion. I really appreciate it and definitely prefer your more levelheaded and mature approach to Star Wars and not giving into hate and your anger. Obviously, some other channels need to rewatch the movies to know what dark path they are going down
If you're just a side character jedi with no lines, no identity except just being there, you're dead for sure
Bazil is the SITH
I knew it! Didn’t trust him the moment I laid eyes on him
@@cultmecca😂
The droids always figure it out... that is why they constantly get their minds wiped. Pip just knew Bazil was dodgy..
I hate that already the popular narrative is that this show disrespects lore, when it just doesn’t.
Welp spoiler here
Bro was totally right even Jecki and Yord im pissed and wow double identity Palpatine style it was Qimir crazy
Thanks, Alan, I needed that hug. (Though I’m not one of the haters)
The second we saw those other Jedi my wife said "oh good they brought the red shirts."
Its weird how when you like the show, you'll get hate for it 😂
I appreciate your analysis of the series with an open mind...it's refreshing. I just kinda feel as though you're giving them more credit than they deserve (from a story/writing/planning standpoint)
You and your channel are the best Acolyte coverage out 🙏🔥
People are angry with you for enjoying the show? Lol. What a miserable generation.
Anakin used Form V, not Form IV.
Yoda and Qui-Gon Jinn used Form IV
Anakin used form IV(Ataru) in AotC, he switched to and mastered V (Djem So) during the clone wars after his loss to Dooku
I dont think I have ever heard that Anakin was an Ataru practitioner. I mean outside his training and the few moments just before he is defeated by Dooku when he is using the two sabres. Guess you learn something new everyday.
@@claymclaren5788he used Form 4 and 5. He modified form 4 for blast defense as seen in Rebels
Anakin started out form 4, then he learned and mastered form 5, then he refined his form 5 and integrated the offensive acrobatics from form 4. In the end, Anakin had mastered his own take on form 5 djem-so combined with form 4 ataru. The final move he uses when he loses in ROTS is ataru, in fact.
None of this is obscure info. Anyone that's lookes into saber form lore has come across it.
Excellent review. Keep up the good work, it is very appreciated.
Personally, I suspect that Mother Aniseya could be the darksider. Her body was not with the group of dead witches, and Sol kept Osha from going to her body. She may have been faking her death. Not seeing Mother Koril's body could just be a ploy to make us think she survived.
Remember, always to the darkside hatred leads.
That’s what I’m saying
You’re one of the only RUclipsrs actually reviewing the series. Even SW theory is just doing reaction vids where he rolls his eyes and says how dumb everything is, not really doing much theorizing. Seems like it’s just easier to jump on the hater bandwagon for views.
Feels like TLJ all over again. Loads of smaller YTbers jumping on the hate wagon to parrot their views on the show.
So true! Recently his channel should be called reactions and not theory. Especially before episode 2 he made a video reminding the fans about how we should be open to where this series could go, but right after it's released he hops on the bandwagon with the haters. 😑.
Well when it sucks ass and they have to change canon so that their show makes a tiny bit of sense, you don't really need to theorize anything except how did this show get the green light
@@dillonroberts9945 “sUcKs aSs!”, “cHaNgEd CaNoN”.
The show aint over yet, snowflake.
Where has the Disney SW canon been broken in this show?
My seething hatred for Nu Star Wars and its creators will not be dimmed by your enjoyment and interest. Nor will I stop watching your content, even if I disagree.
You're good. Haters gonna hate. I like Star Wars. All Star Wars. Even the stuff I don't like, I like. lol. I think that most the hate comes from certain youtubers spewing their hatred because they are upset they weren't invited to the screenings. Keep doing what you do. Your honest, you say what you like and what you don't without having to constantly bash everything. We appreciate that. You'll gain the subscribers. I've unsubscribed to them
Honestly some of the hate has just gotten ridiculous it’s gotten to the point where people are just accusing anyone with a positive opinion of the show or hell even mild excitement for it of being paid off by Disney.
When a new show is announced/streamed we need a death pool to bet on
nah you’re a good dude allan, love from new jersey
Im starting to really feel the fatigue of starwars fans now. People were losing their minds at the first two episodes because there was fire in space. It's like a dog that has gotten beaten and now bites at everything. Its sad im sad.😢
It’s just a few creators out there preying on people’s emotions and spreading my anger. The whole thing is just sickening.
I’m right there with you Generation Tech! I actually have enjoyed the show and look forward to seeing how it plays out. Star Wars fans have been so hell bent on nitpicking every single show and movie released lately 🤦🏽♂️. It doesn’t mean I agree with all the story telling or decisions Disney has made for the franchise, but I just accept it for what it is and try to enjoy it as best I can!
Please NOTE that this is not actually a review of Episode 4, or of the series (so far) as a whole! No discussion of character development, plot, build-up of suspense, plot twists, inconsistencies, plot-holes, pacing, dialog, or acting. Rather, just discussion, on a meta-level, of Jedi fighting techniques, and a little speculation about the over-arching theme of "overly confident Jedi have gotten soft."
Expect those big bugs to get attracted by those lightsabers….
Those bugs reminds of of those gross tree parasites
I expect this as well, the light with attract the moths and will affect the outcome of the duel.
Episode 4 was definitely the culmination of all of the things that have felt off directing and acting wise in the show.
It was very enjoyable with moments where it just chokes and the flow is lost. I really really really hope that they can stick the landing of this cliff hanger because I feel like the overall quality of the series will depend strongly on how this next episode goes
You and the ScreenCrush team are keeping an even keel, and it is very refreshing and appreciated.
You've given us countless SW videos. Even though I'm not a fan of this show at all, I would never expect you to NOT make videos about this particular SW show... that's idiotic. You do you, good sir. The real ones will stick around.
I don’t understand most of the criticism of this show. I feel like most of the hate is becuase inherent Disney hate which I don’t really blame people for and I think as I take the show as it is this is gonna be awesome. I think most of them will die and I think it would be instresting if all of them die even Sol and the second half of the series is totally different than expected. This show is really interesting to me 9/10 so far.
Larry “Dance Party” just look at all the RAVE glow sticks!!! “It’s a dance 🕺 💃battle then…I accept!” 🤦🏼♂️😎
I actually enjoy the show, it's cool to see other force faith
I can have more mature discussions online defending Ukraine against Russia supporters than I can discussing Star Wars.
I didn't like season 6 of "Lost". When I encounter someone who does, I don't berate them for "having no taste". I think it's interesting and I ask them why. That's the point of art, to interpret and discuss.
Too many Star Wars "fans" have lost sight of what the point of art is. They treat Star Wars like a steak, then throw a fit and demand the chef be fired when it's not exactly as "ordered". They don't seem to understand that they're not owed anything. That's not how art works. Thank God.
That opening line 😂
Every time i watch your videos i realize there is still so much to learn about the star wars universe/extended universe
Yord's padawan has vanished.
I don’t think she ever came along right?
@@GenerationTech Exactly, she's just been abandonded at the temple.
Can you make more episodes, Im bored waiting a week for the next Acolyte ep to drop and I am well entertained by your videos
Well if it’s any consolation since I’ve seen you refuse to cave to the intense and suffocating toxicity I like you a lot more.
Alan. Spot on! It's just a show.. enjoy it and get on with our day. It's an ok show. That's it. Thanks for your take and the effort you place in this content.
hug you back, don't let YOUR enjoyment and interest, take away from they hatred, keep on the good fight
they might not be named, but I'm pretty sure they all have the rank of ensign.
I also like the Acolyte, so glad I'm not alone.
The average sith way more powerful than your typical jedi knight. Sith are obsessed with maxing out their abilities.
Dude, you're just trying to extract something good out of something bad, there is nothing wrong with it. You won't succeed, but what you're doing is not inherently wrong.
Best Star Wars channel out there.
@GenerationTech i really appreciate your measured and respectful response to the divisiveness and anger that's out there. I have disliked Acolyte so far but ive enjoyed hearing a review that isn't just angry posturing.
Allen went from morning background sun to late night evening background. Working on vacation? Man, enjoy your vacation with the family! Take care
This looks like a residential backyard
He probably moved to the sticks
I think Quimer (sorry for spelling) is the Sith we see here but he is afraid of his master. I think it’s possible he’s the current Sith apprentice.
Reason why Andor worked was because Tony Gilroy didn’t come into the project as a Star Wars fan. He wasn’t in awe of it like some directors who grew up on it (think JJ Abrams). He didn’t focus on fan service or member berries. He wasn’t forced to work under the SW formula with lousy dialogue and creating goofy alien characters to sell toys to kids, or in Grogu’s case, sell plush toys to grown women like Jane Slater (Dallas Cowboys reporter).
Tony Gilroy did it his way and it worked. Andor may not feel like Star Wars to some. No Jedis, no lightsabers, no Force users. But to me, Star Wars can go beyond all that and some Skywalker family involving that galaxy’s Space Jesus who was born from an immaculate conception. Andor starred a Mexican actor, several female characters, and a lesbian couple and we didn’t blast it for being WOKE because the writing is actually quite good.
“Wait a minute, how did this happen? We’re smarter than this.”
“From my point of view, the Jedi are evil!”
“Hold me like you did by the lake in Naboo.”
SW has never been strong with dialogue. Go back to Revenge of the Sith and you will find clunky dialogue in it. The least bad dialogue actually comes from The Empire Strikes Back and Andor. Empire probably had the most memorable quotes next to A New Hope. I think Andor might have the greatest screenplay for any SW project. Three incredible monologues from Kino, Luthen, and Maarva.
Andor might have been a FLUKE by Disney knowing how bad Star Wars has gotten since The Last Jedi. I actually have Andor right next to House of the Dragon among my favorite series during the last 5 years. I have HOT D only slightly higher thanks to DAEMON fookin’ TARGARYEN. I usually don’t put any SW project that high but Andor is that rare exception. Andor S2 next year in June is going to be my most anticipated in 2025.
I’m starting to realize the real acolyte is Leslye Headland and the Sith Lord is Kathleen Kennedy. The Acolyte is the most lore breaking thing ever done to SW. Well, maybe since The Rise of Skywalker. The return of Palpatine completely destroyed everything the ORIGINAL TRILOGY characters worked for. Anakin killed Palpatine to save his son. That’s all gone and it means nothing anymore. Yet, TRoS has an 86% audience score from 50,000+ verified reviews. Say what?
Great shirt that Erik Voss wore. Han did shoot first. I love Han but I know Harrison doesn’t. 😂 The irony here is while Harrison loves Indy, his personality is closer to Han. Harrison is a pilot just like Han. He can be a grouch. Harrison didn’t do TFA for a SW revolution, he did it for the money 💰. The child in me only wants to believe there are still only 3 SW movies. The purist in me wants to pretend the SEs, Prequels, and anything after never existed. Well, except for Revenge of the Sith, Rogue One, and Andor. ORIGINAL TRILOGY (despecialized), ftw!
I will admit this regardless if a majority of us thinks The Acolyte is TRASH or not, the scene of that masked Sith Lord (or apprentice who would be above an acolyte) hovering down like that was pretty effin’ cool. As Grace Randolph said, it did feel like a SW horror movie for a moment. It actually gave me Batman 1989 vibes during that opening scene. The Force push against 8 Jedis was even cooler. Even more powerful than when Kylo Ren froze that laser beam in the opening scene of The Force Awakens.
Nia (Star Wars Theory) is calling him Smilo Ren. That’s cute. 😂 The teeth on the helmet reminds me more of Abeloth. Being Filipino, I’m actually rooting for Manny Jacinto 🇵🇭 to portray Smilo Ren. I want to see my people portray a Sith. Notice when the cast were given action figures of themselves, Manny never showed what he got. And Manny’s portrayal is a bit unconventional. He plays a fool but he’s really the baddie. It’s like a🃏Sith.
I think if those last two minutes were never shown in Episode 4, I probably would not have the urge to watch Episode 5. I share similar opinions with Allen Xie (Generation Tech). We liked Ep 3 more which seems everyone else hated but we didn’t care for the awful pacing and bad dialogue in Ep 4. The last two minutes was the only thing that saved Ep 4 for us. BTW, Sol is pronounced soul and not saul? That’s how Qimir pronounced it to Mae. Makes sense. Lee Jung-jae is South Korean and the capital of South Korea is Seoul 🇰🇷.
For a show with only a 14% audience score, I do find it funny that haters/grifters like Tyrone Magnus and Star Wars Theory continue to watch it. House of the Dragon S2 is already out and Tyrone hasn’t made one review for it yet. Maybe it’s in his Patreon, I don’t know? But when an Acolyte episode drops, a review from Tyrone drops right away. Same from Jeremy Jahns. Same from Call me Chato who is calling it The Ejacolyte. Then all the breakdown videos for it from Grace Randolph, Emergency Awesome, New Rockstars, Screen Crush, Heavy Spoilers, and so forth.
I thought nobody is watching it but it seems everyone is watching it and then they have an opinion for it right away. Then when some review for the episode comes out, thousands of comments floods the comment section. Usually saying it’s trash, it’s horrible, it’s awful, it’s WOKE, it sucks, it’s the worst, the same adjectives. I guess that’s a good thing for a SW channel like Meg’s. Get people talking about it. Doesn’t matter if it’s good or bad. Viewership for these channels goes up.
She-Hulk has a higher audience score and I already tuned out by Ep 2. Didn’t waste my time with Secret Invasion and Echo. Won’t waste my time with The Rings of Power S2, another trainwreck headed for us in late August. I did enjoy The Lord of the Rings Trilogy but I didn’t watch The Hobbit Trilogy and I’m not into their lore as much compared to GRRM’s or Star Wars. It seems to me The Acolyte is getting more attention than even The Boys S4. Culture Wars is the name of the game on RUclips and social media.
Back at the grind next Tuesday night/Wednesday discussing about the worst Star Wars project of all-time. Not bad attention for a 14% series. Haters can’t keep their eyes away from it. They’re quietly HOOKED for it every week. Trainwrecks can do that for you. Can’t keep your eyes away from it. Then these grifters will work on their next comedy script mocking it. I bet a few of them are secretly enjoying it but don’t want to admit it because they got to do their hater/grifter shtick to get those clicks.
Shills = losers
Grifters = losers
Losers vs. losers.
It’s effing STAR WARS!! 🤣 This is not exactly high art we’re talking here. Allen Xie who runs a Star Wars channel even said it in his most recent video. It’s catered to children. The entire SW franchise has won 7 Oscars but never for Best Picture. Star Wars is what popularized FAST FOOD movies right after Jaws. It’s like comparing McDonald’s vs. Burger King.
This is not high art, people. Star Wars is closer to the quality of Godzilla and James Bond but it has expectations that it’s supposed to be the greatest of all-time. It’s not The Godfather. Star Wars is just popcorn entertainment. It’s going to be as brainless as the next Dwayne Johnson, Vin Diesel, or Jurassic World movie. It’s not going to be directed by Christopher Nolan, Martin Scorsese, or Quentin Tarantino.
Watch Star Wars for the mindless fun. The Acolyte or any future SW project needs to have the same level of expectations as Godzilla x Kong. Of course, I’m aware The Acolyte has not been fun. The worst SW project ever. The Sith Lord/Qimir might save it but it could be too late.
This is wayy too long nobody's reading g the whole thing
But I will address one thing: there's nothing actually going on in the show itself that is even remotely "woke". Criticizing a show for being "woke" when you're acknowledging that it's doing the exact same things andor did is wild. It's very obvious the opposition is to the creator and her political perspectives rather than anything to do with the show itself.
I think the problem is too many of u get ur opinions directly from the internet and filtered thru political views you feel beholden to, rather than actually trying to see what u urself think and feel abt something. (You in the general sense not u specifically, although u definitely fall on that side of the aisle when it comes to this discussion)
Like, there's been zero fan service. There's not even space to use nostalgia in this show bc yodas the only character any of us would recognize. None of ur arguments against this show make sense or line up together. You insist it's bad then the only support you have is thay andor was good and that other star wars creators also thought it was bad
Yea this comment is actually rly weird bc u keep contradicting yourself too lmao ima just let u live at this point
_liked_ for most of what you said here except for SW being mindless fast food cinema. The OG Trilogy *is* "high art." Lucas didn't intend for it to be that, but it became that. Everything that came after is what boxed Star Wars in to this casual popcorn entertainment for kids.
Until _Andor._ That show changed the game.
@@cloudmaster182I read the whole thing ☺️
Omg!! This is why I love listening to you, it’s Star Wars it’s for entertainment of your inner child. Deep logical thought might or might not be necessary…
Complain and exaggerate, it's what Star Wars 'fans' do best
And to be clear there are good criticisms about this show, but 90% of criticisms are just ridiculous such as "not enough white men" or Ki Adi Mundi now has a slightly different age (even though his age before wasn't even canon)
No, we are not asking for much, it's just that literally some of the writers are shit as f
Snort Pixie dust and shill, it’s what Disney types do. Maybe your ok with a race hustler telling you how evil you are for existing. Theres a syndrome for that.
@@stevena.7022 the problem isn't that there are a lot of females in the show. The problem is that it is politically motivated from a very specific movement which does not represent the majority of Star Wars viewers. For example, no one complained that there were only Dark skinned people in Wakanda because it makes sense and there is no motive behind it.
His age actually was canon, from Legends. It was even listed on Wookiepedia, as was the canon detail that his race was short lived. He’d have to have been WELL over 113 when he died, when he was originally 74. That’s no “a little” different.
@@jasonjordan8376”canon, from legends” …..so not canon?
wasnt there some story about a sith who bound his force presence to a mask. maybe qimir is possesed and needs to find a stronger host. hence the master collects people. also if the sith is just a possesd mask from 1000s of years ago, then the sith never really returned and it wouldnt break canon... Vader architect, i think he was the mask to
