In today's video I break down and review the full episode 2 from Disney Plus Star Wars 'The Acolyte.' Enjoy. I suffered for your entertainment.
Hey guys - stark here on the second account. I misspoke when saying “A new hope” - I’m pretty sure I meant to say original trilogy but my brain slipped. Even I too am sometimes a dumbass. Thanks for watching the video. At least I got more comments out of the error. Much love 😂❤️
Dumbass…..
Ha! I caught that! Good catch! Good video! Ep3? Really blows this ShoW apart! Like..for REAL .. I was in for the 1st 2.. 3? I'm allllll set!😁
She’s sneaking past the guys because they are men, the woman Jedi however is a woman so they just say “you go girl” and they both go their separate ways.
This checks boxes - I mean checks out**
That's accurate AF 😅
"I'd rather be in a room with a bear than alone with a man."
The more Disney Star Wars continues the less I want to be a "Star Wars Fan"
You just have to compartmentalize between Star Wars and Disney Star Wars... Be a fan of Star Wars but disregard the existence of Disney's intentional destruction of Star Wars... We would hate for peeps to De-Fan just because of Disney's contrived hate of Star Wars...
@@ArcaneZippity no
@@ArcaneZippityI wouldn’t say it’s intentional, they’re just blinded by money and stuff. Politics, you know? Except I literally don’t care about politics so I don’t have that problem as everyone else does
Thats why i quit Disney Star Wars since TLJ. Only EU and George Lucas movies matters to me.
Why are you still a fan at all? You should have dropped out after episode 7 a Mary Sue Retcon Rehash. Disney will never reboot until it hits rock bottom. All the fans of the EU and original six need to not support it at all
That actor was Tommen?? I knew there was something really weird about him, but man why did they choose to hire a young actor to play an older person with a terrible fake beard?
Reasons... Perhaps due to budget constraints... I mean, 20 or so million buckaroos for each episode is not enough to pay an A-Lister to sit pretty for a few shots, say a few lines, die, and perhaps appear breifly in a few flashbacks... Well... Except for Trinity (aka Carrie-Ann Moss) who also dies, due to, Reasons...
Remember that old Beavis and Butthead video where they watch a ZZtop video and decide to cut tufts of their hair and stick it to their chins with Gorilla glue? That's what he looks like LOL.
22 million per episode, his makeup looked like a Saturday night live job.
Headland probably needs to keep people happy or they’ll talk.
@@VanHoering Damn, Torbin is smooth!
Echo was also the story of a brutal killer who we're supposed to empathize with. Rebel Moon, a brutal killer we're supposed to empathize with. Whats-her-name (Reva?) in Obit-Wan, a brutal killer we're supposed to empathize with. Because 'sad backstory'. I'm starting to sense a pattern.
As Kathleen Bates kept saying in Waterboy, Disney is "the devil"... They seem to be going out of their way to destroy so many good IP's, and push this plot point of how evil is not so bad, and good is more evil then you think...
Amoral sociopathic writers will project their desire to have all violent actions excused because of a perceived slight in the past.
Take all reason and accountability away from a man and you have a wom... I mean a brutal killer who we're supposed to empathize with.
It's as diagnostic as the rest of the weird self-insert nonsense they do. Sad souls, steeped in evil, never really going in the right direction.
Don't forget the Scarlett Witch Wanda. Commits horrible acts and we are suppose to feel sorry for her.
I don't understand why they had that Jedi say "I saw her die," then it switches to "she was though to be dead." Did he watch her die or no?
He thought she died
Maye she was run though with a lightsaber. That doesn't seem to kill anyone.
Somehow she returned
Maybe he realizes that his memories have been altered.
@@persephone342 no ones memories were altered. Its just bad writing
The floating Jedi does look like an adult version of Beavis.
Or a Bee Gees member
Pitch meeting of the Acolyte: I am angry lesbian and Disney interrupts saying - We don't need to hear anymore, take this 180M and start filming tomorrow
Is everybody just going to gloss over the Jedi Fatawan? Dude looks like he ordered 66 cheeseburgers.
I know right? I’d like to see him running through a forest making somersaults while carrying his master on his back.
Executing Order 66 takes on a new meaning.
The way the story plays out is laughably similar to the way we use to play with toys as a very very little kid.😂😂 these people got paid millions of dollars for this level of work 🙃
I appreciate that the reviewers of this series invested more talent, skill and effort into the review than the mega corp Disney did for the series.
Jedi Master : "She was presumed dead 16 years ago." Later, same Jedi Master : "She's dead. I saw it with my own eyes...."
Thats how it goes when it is all fan fiction written by someone going through puberty! It is impossible to make it all add up!
I just heard that Lesley Headland made the main cast watch Fight Club. “Don’t trust your eyes” Sol.
If this is a Fight Club scenario… holy shit, someone needs to get fired.
If this were to be a Fight Club scenario, obviously it can't be the twins, as we've had physical interactions between both twins and the real world already... At no point has there been talking/interactions past them, in a way that we could then show one doesn't really exist... In Fight Club they showed us how we missed the reality of what was really going on, and thus far the writing of this show hasn't been competent enough to fool us in the same way... Unless in episode 8 we find out it was all a dream, and Dorothy (aka Mae/Osha) was never really in the land of Oz, there is no force, and there's no better place to be, then home, with her mothers...
Fight club would have actually been a cool idea. Unless her Sith master is actually her. LMAO. Or the Asian dude who helped her is the master.
@@doro626you may be on to something.
Right because the first rule of Acolyte is don’t talk about Acolyte and meatloaf has a great character arc
@@nunzioification AH. The fat Jedi is Meatloaf!
So sad to see one of the Bee Gee’s go out like that. 😆😆😆
This show is a direct reflection of Headland's IQ
The only thing that can save this series is a cameo from young x wing pilot Jek Porkins!
If I want a story set in space with a diverse set of characters of differing backgrounds, orientations that have believable motivations laid out in a taught thoughtful manner I’ll reread The Expanse series. Disney Star Wars is mass produced schlock from ideologues fighting a non-existent crusade that they have constructed in their very tiny brains.
Expanse also had realish physics too - and did not go off the rails until pretty late in the lore.
So Torbin was waiting for her the second time she came but not the first time??
Apparently he wanted to die fast instead of being karate kicked to death. LOL no real way to explain the dumb plot.
Darth Helmet is gonna be Showrunners Wife.
Darth Nepotismus?
3:49 Notice the knives she throws stay on the floor. The guard heard them falling on the floor, then got inside the room and DIDN'T CHECK THE FLOOR
Jedi Kol Lesteial probably gets winded when lighting up his lightsaber. When Obi wan saw him he said, “ that’s no moon, that’s him”
Guy who played Tommen? I thought it was some discount Neil Patrick Harris. 😆
People feel bad for Torbin being given that Discord Moderator hairline and beard. Am I the only one who feels worse for him for the Fortnite Kid Broccoli Cut he has in the flashback? On God, he bussin.
LMAOOOOO
Man, I'm glad I found this channel. Excellent work - very smart analysis.
I'm calling it now. The mysterious master "dude" is actually Carrie Anne Moss and the murder was some sort of fake out.
My theory, without having actually watched the show... Leslye Headland, former Personal Assistant of Convicted Rapist Harvey Weinstein said one of her inspirations was Fight Club, I'm guessing the murdering sister actually died, but still lives inside her sister's head, as the sister has multiple personalities.
I might have tried poison too. That is if I had been able to stop LAUGHING at how horrendously bad this dumpster fire of a show really is. I was laughing so hard I could barely hold popcorn, let alone a vial of poison!
At least they've allowed "Squid Game" (Lee Jung-Jae) to be a decent character.😅 So far he's been a fan favorite and done competently.
Yord points would be the safest drinking game
Heres a question, if she knows her sister isnt dead anymore, then why does she need to continue killing the Jedi because that knowledge completely blows apart the reasoning for her doing this in the first place? Theyre totally working together on this for sure.
jedi are supposed to emotionally secure and removed from desires, bordering robotic, as well as the peak of combat
proceeds to have 2 of the jedi masters with very clear signs of strong emotional attachment, 1 fat jedi which is impractical from both a movement standpoint and a desire standpoint (ironically a fat sith makes more sense, if you ignore the athleticism required). they then proceed to show the other 2 jedi masters being leagues above may but somehow not immediately beating and capturing her. but i'm racist for noticing any of those purely character criticisms lol
100% correct we are all bigots and should be silenced 🤓😂
nothing u just said sounded racist except the bit where u literally mentioned the word. if u focus your criticisms on relevant topics im sure the internet will know you’re not racist
@@enishi4ty5 sane people would know it's not racist. unfortunately not all people on the internet are. this show just happens to be so bad that regardless of politics, people across demographics and even the usual defenders hate it
@@enishi4ty5 how can mentioning the word mean I am racist. Holy shit we are cooked. My god.
@@Stark-Cinema great vid but i wasnt talking about u my guy🤣 reading comprehension is cooking us all it seems😭
I would like to point out, that at the very least, it is nice that you can legally park a spaceship on the beach at Olega which you cannot do at Canto Bight TC @0:40
LMAOO
22:08 They are going to do a Tyler Durden and on the flashback it’s going to show there was only one woman. I’m all but certain that’s where they are going, especially with the “exact same scarf” scene. Even though thematically it doesn’t make sense. And Yord is in on it, somehow.
Torbin is actually Torgo, from "Manos, Hands of Fate"
This show seems to be a good metaphor for how it’s creators see the world. Your worthiness as a person is determined by your gender and race, there is no such thing as local knowledge, and the rules are whatever the writers need them to be to get from point A to point B.
the subtext of this scene is so racist beyond racist anyone else figure it out? black girl walks in finds white dude floating serenely above all her problems says "we have unfinished business attack me with all your strength" (this was also the first line of the show also said to a white woman) proceeds to trash about trying to pierce white mans floating serenity but its impossible with his impenetrable force privelege. the ANSWER according to the writers to the plight of the gay black woman is guilting the floaty white dude to guilt him into killing himself for her forgiveness lol. Impossible to unsee
The whole coincidence thing is often repeated in SW. Remember when R2D2 & C3PO just happened to not only land on the same planet as Kenobi, but in the same zip code!?
It's no biggie. It moves the plot forward.
Yea well it sticks out way harder in this show, sorry my friend
@@Stark-Cinema Yeah, maybe because the writing is nowhere near New Hope, they seem to pile up pretty quick, like you spelled out.
I don't hate the show. It's a tv show ... but man, it sure doesnt feel like it's been made by the most capable of people.
Like, there is a difference between camp, and dumb. And this show walks the fence alot. And even crosses it.
Like ... how did that AliExpress version of Lobot just make the droids open the doors? That was just dumb.
They were on a ship heading to that planet. They had an esxape pod with homing coordinates to the space port - or as close as they can manage.
Sure - its convenient - but its also more likely than that girl surviving an orbital fall in an out of control ship.
@rickyrayrosenberg420 maybe it's more than convenient, maybe the imperials were like, 'the plans are on that ship, let's see where it's going and jump them when they get there.'
Snape Jr. looks like Ezra Miller...
An Ezra Miller that mix meds sound like it needs the same warning Kdot said about Drake, "keep the family away."
21:53 She intentionally misses the shot. If you notice, she moves her wrist slightly before actually shooting. I'm not sure why she also fires a second shot other than to maybe sell the idea that 'oh you guys I was really trying'.
I can't believe *Star Trek* is doing better as a franchise than Star Wars 👀
Correction : hyperspace travel does not take minutes. It takes days to weeks, including having to swap hyperlanes here and there.
Disney just doesnt give a f about time and location. Its like game of thrones season 7 and 8. People just teleport at this point in star wars.
You had me at "Hot Pie"
So OSHA & May learned to used poison & 6yrs old?
ok. the Agatha comment made me laugh :) Have a sub!
Disney Star Wars Acolyte is a "defund the jedi" show.
Look, Amandla may have a super cringe diss track and 58 different character motivations each episode but, she has two GIGANTIC redeeming qualities 😅
😂😂
Does she use the force to sense what Tommen Baratheon jedi was thinking? If so, how could she if he has a force field that we saw minutes before? The sand, really? With two Jedis and some on higher grounds. I don't think osha misses the first shot. She clearly moves her arm that was pointing at the May. She just then decides to shoot her and misses. It's just that the show doesn't makes any sense
The lies are with the people rated it high enough to get it to 26%. Now the real question about the guy sitting under an open skylight for 10 years, why is he not tan? Is he blocking the sunlight with the force too?
LADY SHREK !!!!! 😂😂😂☠️😂☠️😂☠️
Now days I never look for critics for games and movies just any random youtube reviews
"Yord pulls his lightsaber", except 'Jedi only draw their weapon with intent to kill'. Yord killed no-one.
-1 Yord point.
It was “prepared” which is different than “intends” but yea shits hilarious nice comment 😂👏
@Stark-Cinema Well..okay, he can have half a Yord point back.
If the twins aren't working together then how and why would they have the same haircut and dye job?
The dark sith red light saber dude is the mother. The black one. Not the white one with the horns. But the black one that was "nice" and not as "mean" as the white one.
She does say "it's not about right or wrong. it's about power. And who is allowed to use it."
So i am willing to put 50 bucks on table right now. The mother is the "bad guy" and the other one isnt.
OR they both are, and they take turns being evil.
Not much of a bet but... whatever.
150 dollars if its a young palpatine. Which was my first instinct. 150 dollars its 20 something or whatever year old palpatine
Somehow Lesbi Headland is not in prison together with Harvey W.....
Yk it’s a good day when SC uploads 🎉🎉
He learned from Sean Bean!!
Bypass the compressor... that right there is where the movie should have ended, with the falcon exploding in hyperspace. Also Harrison Ford still gets his wish. That timeline would have been preferable.
Fun review and critic. I didn't watch this show but some of the reviews have been great. The show lacks cohesive storytelling and it hurts just hearing the reviews. CW sounds about right...
Great video. Enjoyed your since of humor.
This is a really good video! I didnt know the GOT dude was in so many other films!
Thank you so much, made my day
Hyperspace doesn't get you anywhere you want to go in 5 minutes, it's like travelling in the nether on Minecraft. It takes off a lot of time, as in instead of taking 20,000 years it will take 3 weeks. It's not teleportation though
In this show it does lmao
@@Stark-Cinema lmao Touche
The show is deserving up a 10%
If you have never seen a show called Axe Cop check it out. It is written by a small child about a cop that primarily wields a hatchet and rides a t-rex and is still smarter than the writing on this show.
BRUH I HAVE TO CHECK IT
When was the last time a powerful masked figure was not a woman in a Disney film? Probably that redhead plank of wood from Solo and Willow.
like before disney came into play George Lucas's Jedi are aware of their surroundings using the force when necessary and only died to constant blaster fire cause in the Prequal trilogy they were fighting hundreds of thousands of droids constantly shooting at them, but disneys Jedi you could like die to anything random but also live to something that can like be fatal like a lightsaber to a vital organ or something and still live mined you lightsabers give off extreme amount of heat
Wow how do you only have 4K subs? That's honestly CRIMINAL your content is WAY too good for only 4K subs
According to the critics, this is the next Godfather. What a joke. This was written by, guess what, someone with no writing experience. Imagine handing the worlds biggest IP to a twelve year old to write.
I can't after Jedi Torbin. That was the most anti-Star Wars thing to have in Star Wars. No hope, no real redemption, no do! Just drink some end juice. No way. sorry! The h8 metaphor is strong and rotten in this one!
Did they HAVE to give both "twins" the same hairstyle?
Idk why they say we're afraid of woman ..I love ahsoka ..clone wars is packed with female characters and its my fave ..obv I love princess Leia. Assaj is awesome ..like literally they just make sht up
The writing on this is SO horrible. So this Jedi is so powerful with the force that he can just levitate and go into a full trance and creates an active force bubble that is "impenetrable" and yet Master Indara can't perceive that the Acolyte would cheap shot her and toss a fatal butter knife in her chest?? Then she offers this meditating Jedi a chance to right his "wrongs" but offering him poison. Like, could he not have just ended his own life? Furthermore, if his actions bothered him so much that it made him go into meditation and want to die, that implies that all the other Jedi involved are just kind heartless about the whole thing does it not? Apparently none of the others have a conscience. Additionally, how can Master Sol tell the other Jedi that she can be trusted with a blaster because she used to be Jedi and knows how to use it, and then she COMPLETELY missed not one, but TWO shots. And she is not shooting bullets, she is shooting like waves of energy that get bigger the farther they travel and she STILL misses. Headland is unintentionally exposing herself as being a horrible writer and director.
I just realized this by the jedi had been doing this trance thing for 10 years but they say Mae had been presumed dead for 16 yearz. So he was ok for for 6years after whatever happened and then shut down?
It made me drink 5 beers in a row.
Disney is winning. People are still watching, while telling themselves that their negative reviews are some sort of demonetization mechanism. They aren’t. The views pay them.
Disney is hemorrhaging cash and they still have yet to turn a profit with Star Wars as they lose more and more cash throwing money after failed projects. Disney+ is not and has not ever produced a profit and, instead, loses millions of dollars every day.
Disney's Star Wars toys have been such a failure that it has damaged Hasbro's bottom line and started to drag them down into abject failure as a company.
Disney is absolutely not winning. They are in flames.
The views pay me as well. Hehe.
I think most people are just watching youtube reviews, or pirating it.
and I mean, they already cancelled the second season, so no, they are not winning.
@@gorbo3040 they will make something else, to the same effect. People keep watching
The Sith Master is Qimir. He’s testing Mae because he needs an apprentice to he can overthrow his own Sith master since there can only be two Sith.
Its Indara.
This actually sounds interesting, but the writing and acting so far tells me they'd just mess that idea up too.
@@rickyrayrosenberg420 It was leaked last year it’s Qimir. Hell, leaked set pictures just came out this week with Qimir in Sith robes and Mae pointing a red saber at him
I prefer watching you tear apart the episodes rather than watching the show itself
The tiny girl-thing Jedi padawan is the Sith "Lord". Bet ya. 🤷♂️
Great review by the way... Well thought out and presented points... I don't blame the actors as much as I blame the writing and directing... Actors are paid to do a job, and the director's job is to ensure the actors do their jobs in the way the director wants them to... I don't mind them having no clue about Star Wars lore, as it's been like that for many actors since the beginning of cinema... Understandably it is difficult to compress tons of plot points as well as backstory and character development into such a small time frame of 8 episodes, but the poor writing does nothing to help at all... If it was a 20 or so episode season, they could spread stuff out more, and have the time they need to get the story out, but even with that amount of time, the current writers and directing just falls too short...
There are supposedly different directors for certain episodes, so we might see a difference in quality for some episodes, maybe??? But even then, because the writers are the same and the time constraints are still there, I'm not sure much will really improve on that front... Could even get worse for all we know... We might see some slight alteration, barring any micro-managing Leslye might interject upon the other directors... I don't expect much to change, beyond more plot that makes no sense or tries to hurt the franchise even further... I feel sorry for many of the cast members, as the failing of this might lead to fewer opportunities for some of them in the immediate future, beyond this endeavor...
Oh dear.....
"Remember the door droid? From uh, 'A New Hope'"?
Nope.
Lmao did I get this one wrong on accident 😂
@@Stark-Cinema I liked your video in the end and hit like.. So consider me won over.
Barash Vow Vader comic 2017 I think very dope. Since I saw u made an ep. 2 I edited my last comment to mention it here also Sol I thinks says “the Jedi agree with me” while being a Jedi not the council….dialogue is terrible and also think our head cannon stuff is adding more than the actual writers have thought of and will be disappointed
Great video again will be back after 3!
Mays accomplice is the sith lord watching over her
Story is the twins switched places.
LAME. And why does one still have the same tatoo then
I loved Jabba's Palace in _A New Hope._ 1:37
Did I fuck that one up - my bad i meant to say the og trilogy and just vomited out “a new hope”
Prediction: The Sith Lord is the real Mae, badly scarred after surviving the fire. The Mae we see is a clone/acolyte.
Or some other stupid thing, I don't know I haven't watched it because I'm tired of all this corporate IP farming. The reviews are entertaining though, thank you!
IF Sol could just read Mei mind, Why they couldn't just do that with Osha to see if she did it or not...
It’s incredible how we get more entertainment from Star Wars in videos like this over the actual franchise…Dumpster fire for real
Ain't Jedi Yor the friend of Love in You?
The Acodyke scissors ✂️ back in ep.2!
The scissor friction is going to get so extreme it cuts the space time continuum enough to generate twin stronk powerful wahmyn
"He" isn't even just blatant, it's _emphasized_.
Also wookie Jedi looks like jack links Bigfoot.
He could be the master....
The Tommen jedi dude is the new Sean Bean.
This is bad for people who made their entire personality about Star Wars and then Disney
The best thing about the acodyke is that I am getting recommended great channels that I am subbing to. I am so tired of woke disney and happy to see I am not alone. These channels are important to boost as it is the counter culture on the right side
Yord is bound to be a traitor? Why else was the actor so hard fast to defend the dark side as "grey"... Because he's playing a dark side user 😂
Yeah. Twins. But wait. Didn't Sol say that he saw Mae die? That he literally watched her die? So......????? Mae doesn't seem any worse for wear (no scars, burn marks, nothing) for having died in a fire. So WTF Sol. Did Sol lie, did he think he saw her die and she didn't die, was the death faked? I mean build the story, but nope. You get zero information, you don't know why Mae is pissed at the Jedi, you don't know why she allegedly started the fire, you don't know what the whole point of this show is.
Well other than to show the Jedi are a bunch of misfit idiots who can't find their way out of a paper bag.
Disney star wars really misses the mark when it comes to telling a story that's entertaining
Tommen drank the Wildfyre😂😂😂
Also don't understand why the Jedi didn't arrest Qimir. In the least he should have been taken in for more questioning. Eventually he would have been charged with conspiracy to commit murder against a Jedi. This show sucks!!! The Jedi on this show Sucks!!! Pathetic.
Yeah an Acolyte definitely kills the dream.
Fun video though!
"In a 4 block area of a galaxy far far away"
Trinity will end up being the Sith
You have convinced me that Snape is actually Voldemort!
