      @@danabney4433yeah I honestly think they care more about diversity and representation than the actual story, and they think the audience is like that as well. That’s why they’re so confused when people get upset with plot holes and the rest of the bad writing. Their attitude is “hey we included a bunch of lesbians so who really cares if we had their stone temple burn down”. They think any boxes they check in terms of diversity are more important than how good the writing is, and they can’t understand when the audience doesn’t feel the same way.

    It's not about a birthday at all. The whole point of the prequel trilogy is that the Sith are finally coming out of hiding to orchestrate their ultimate plan of taking over the galaxy by instigating the clone war and playing from both sides to destroy the republic.
    The Phantom Menace has the Jedi say
    "the Sith have been extinct for a millennium"
    "I do not believe the Sith could've returned without us knowing"
    " hard to see the dark side is ."
    The Sith in the Phantom Menace confirm that they have been in hiding for that entire time when Darth Maul says "at last we will reveal ourselves to the Jedi, at last we will have revenge."
    When Qui gon says "I have encountered a vergance in the force"
    "located around a person?"
    "A boy "
    The point in the Phantom Menace is that Anakin is a unique thing in the force that you don't see every day. The Sith are something that you do not see every day anymore.
    The acolyte series runs headfirst at 1000 miles an hour into every plot point from the Phantom Menace like it's a fucking brick wall ! That is the problem.
    Not only is a vergence in the force not an oddity, it's happened to an entire planet that is supposed to be lifeless after a huge hyperspace disaster.
    Witches have created two force sensitive beings that the Jedi are now aware of.
    The problem is the story in the acolyte diminishes the intelligence of the Jedi and makes you ask
    "how in the hell could they have missed all this?"
    It goes back to the skit that SWT did where Palpatine is trying to seduce Anakin.
    "what? Two?" Lmao
    When JJ blew up Vulcan in Star Trek 2009, it was a huge controversy up until the point that you realize it's an alternate timeline. No conflicts with the established lore.
    If this show came out and said this is an alternate timeline, it would be the same thing.
    But the fact is they didn't pay enough attention to the source material in its own internal logic.
    They are using the concepts of Star Wars like a vergence in the force, but they are ignoring the fact that the Phantom Menace treats these things as a mystery and an oddity.
    It's jarring for somebody who is going to watch the Phantom Menace after they see the Acolyte.
    This interview makes me understand what Leslie is trying to do much better and actually appreciate what she's trying to do better.
    The Jedi are Haughty assholes without oversight in the high Republic era. OK fine. But the fact that I'm getting this from this interview and not from the content itself is a huge issue.
    If Manny's character is supposed to be the good guy who is the rebel, that's great. Don't set this story 80 years before the main story where the roles are completely reversed.

    you added a lot of dialogue to what Mundi said in the prequels. all he says is that the sith have been extinct for a millenium. in the little meeting where we see Mundi, nobody there has actually seen the sith character yet. they just speculate that she was trained by a rogue jedi. so far, the continuity is entirely preserved as the only person who knows there is a POSSIBLE sith (and he might not even be, based on his own wording) is Sol. Sol may not survive, and we can't really judge the continuity of this thread until the show is over. He also never knew anything about the creation of the twins specifically.

    The line "He was seduced by the dark side of the force" is a line from the Bible. It references the Book of Judges and the Book of Kings and how people in power become seduced by their own wicked hearts because they can do what they want. The cycle continues throughout history of how Good people become bad people mostly by their own selfishness.

They could of made it where Yoda was busy with something else which would be preoccupying him which is better then no reason.

The first time the Jedi have encountered any conflict in a thousand years is in Episode 1?
      There were countless stories, comics, novels covering all sorts of crises the Jedi encountered and had to contend with. The Stark Hyperspace War, the Yinchorri Uprising...Jedi would always run into possibly fatal situations, it was the nature of what they chose to do, the role they chose to play. What there weren't, for sure, were a bunch of Sith running about out in the open.

    They could have just called his character "Cerean Jedi." But they had to shoot themselves in the foot by naming him. The only Cerean Male in the history of Star Wars to live 137+ years.
    Also, the fact that they went there and actually called Qimir "Sith" and made it absolutely CLEAR they have NO IDEA what they are, or the ranks of Sith.
    Since the Games are considered Canon now, as stated by Disney, SWTOR draws out the path of a Sith. From Initiate/Hopeful to Acolyte to Apprentice to Adept/Lord to Darth.
    Acolyte skips the Initiate phase altogether, meaning they just thought the name sounded cool and didn't even care about the rest. It encapsulates the entire productions feelings towards Star Wars as an IP/Franchise. They only care about what pleases them. Not about the constraints of the Universe/Lore. Which can also be seen in how they handle the 10 day travel time it would take the Jedi to go from Coruscant to Nal Hutta (Nar Shadda) when they go to pick up Osha in the first episode, and they're talking about a murder that happened LAST NIGHT.

      If you look into the channel:
      The Mary Sue is the premier destination for entertainment geeks, female or otherwise. Coverage includes movies, comics, tv/movie fandom, and other cool stuff.
      The channel is directed towards female geeks. Also the term Mary Sue is defined as "a character archetype in fiction, usually a young woman, who is often portrayed as inexplicably competent across all domains, gifted with unique talents or powers, liked or respected by most other characters, unrealistically free of weaknesses, extremely attractive, innately virtuous, and generally lacking meaningful character flaws. Usually female and almost always the main character, a Mary Sue is often an author's idealized self-insertion, and may serve as a form of wish fulfillment. Mary Sue stories are often written by adolescent authors."
      The Mary Sue channel aligns with the values and direction that Leslie has, so it makes sense why she agreed to do a interview with them, because she knows she wont get her shit wrecked during the interview.

      Don’t shoot the messenger, but to acknowledge Theory’s encouragement; We should be careful about going for the low hanging fruit and attacking anyone’s appearance, etc. As a certain orange man once said “I never attacked him on his look - and believe me there's plenty of subject matter there." 😂 Let’s judge based off of character and actions and she is completely morally bankrupt on those. That’s grounds enough to go after her, because while people can alter their appearance, ultimately we look how we look, she doesn’t have much control over that. Now, the abortion of the show that she’s created, that’s a different conversation entirely and I’m thankful Theory does a great job covering it 🫡

    Which one is it?
    Episode I: The Phantom Menace, Anakin was 9 years old and Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, Anakin/ Darth Vader was 22 years old (Episode II: Attack of the Clones, took place 10 years after Episode I which makes Anakin 19 years old, then the Clone Wars lasted for 3 years so 19 year old + 3 years later = 22 years old).
    The question is "Did the Acolyte took place 87 years before Episode I: The Phantom Menace?" or "Did the Acolyte took place 114 years before the Empire?"

They are purposely ignoring fans and sending opposite messages of true Star Wars, so why would I want them to make more?

    4:17 We need to correct this statement. Everybody is NOT all about Anakin lol. Everybody is NOT all about the prequels (which blow). Here’s the explanation you all need:
    The only people who liked the prequels when they came out were boys 12 and younger. Now, those kids have all grown up into adults and control the RUclips comments on channels like this, making it seem like “everybody” likes the prequels. Today, still 12 years olds and younger like the prequels. So you have a combination of kids who liked the garbage and grew up and continued liking it because nostalgia, and more kids from today who like it (can’t discern quality). It shows that the only people the prequels attracted were kids, while the original trilogy attracted EVERY demographic, because they were amazing. Also, when your feed is extremely bias and you only watch content like this from channels like this, you also get a misconception that everybody loves the prequels, when in reality most people still think they are complete trash. The acolyte is trash and the new trilogy is also garbage, that I’m not arguing. I’m just being realistic and unbiased and telling it how it is haha.

    I'm just going to pretend that The Acolyte is not Star Wars canon. Like, at all! Because this is not just the tweaking of a given sequence of events, like Luke, Han and Leia ALL DYING in the newer, sequel trilogy, when in canon, they had major roles, Leia and Han had TWINS, biological twins! Not a son and then a young woman that "claims" herself as Leia's second (though adopted) child, when she's really a Palpatine (ya know, a bad guy)!! That was sick, twisted and overton window-pushing enough.

    Another point to add about Anakin, he was believed to be The Chosen One, and he held the belief he was powerful, thus the belief Obi-Wan was holding him back. His hubris added to everything that Theory mentioned about his flaws.
    As for Headland's comment about how there was less oversight for the Jedi in this era, it's clearly in the script that that the sub-council is trying to keep this quiet, because the Senate will have to informed. That comment alone shows they have no understanding of their own script. As for the Jedi, they had been around for a thousand generations (20,000 years), and any of their reasoning or rules about recruitment wouldn't have been established in the past 80 years. And as for the fallen Jedi that trained Qimir, it's been established that there were only 20 lost Jedi in their history, with the first 12 having become Dark Jedi, and establishing the Sith.
    It would be excusable for the average fan to not know the depth of the lore, but as someone who has the privilege of adding to Lucas' story, they should at least do their research to understand the mythos they are building.

    It’s puzzling why Hollywood insists on cranking out media where every character is morally bankrupt, unappealing, or just plain annoying. This trend reflects a misguided belief that moral ambiguity equates to depth. In reality, it often results in a disengaged audience left with no one to care about or root for.
    There was a time when media offered a clear distinction between good and bad. Heroes were admirable, villains were loathsome, and the moral lines were boldly drawn. Sure, it might have been less "realistic," but it provided a satisfying narrative clarity that is sorely missing in media like The Acolyte. We don't need every character to be a paragon of virtue, but a little more effort in creating someone-anyone-worth investing in wouldn't hurt.
    The Acolyte epitomizes this unfortunate trend, delivering a story devoid of any likable characters, leaving viewers with a sense of detachment rather than engagement. Hollywood, it’s time to reintroduce some clear-cut heroes and villains. Let’s bring back the days when audiences could leave the theater feeling something other than apathy.

Indarra was killed by a dagger but Osha survived a crash landing from space. Even if you don’t care about the show breaking canon, it breaks its own logic constantly. Mae says she’s gonna turn herself in, and then when a Jedi tries to arrest her, she tries to kill them. Aniseya turns into an evil cloud but then when Sol stabs her she says she was gonna let Osha go with them. They’re searching for a vergence in the force by combing the dirt with metal detectors but they don’t notice the massive fortress carved into a mountain. Not only does this show not function in the Star Wars universe, it doesn’t even function as a self contained story.
