- The Jedi Order in the Acolyte features Jedi that are unique because of their xeno racial backgrounds. We take a look at why its strange for these races to join the Jedi Order and what it probably says about the High Republic Jedi Order.

You don’t need to say “looked nothing like the cartoons” when talking about The Grand Inquisitor, because we already saw his species properly displayed in live action in Revenge of the Sith. And he looked nothing like his own species.
Too many Darkside cookies
It would've been so cool to see a revenge of the sith style grand inquisitor costume in action scenes. Probably a pain to move around with that on. But it would've made him incredibly intimidating.
I have chosen to think Pau'ans have racial groups. Live Action Grand Inquisitor would get side-eyed by the Port Administrator's type for being a "Smooth Face".
That's always bugged the hell outta me. The Utapoauian (misspelled) that Obi Wan meets amd asks for fuel was a thousand times creepier than the Grand Inquisitor we got in Obi Wan Kenobi miniseries.
The Klingons are shaking the Grand Inquisitors hand right now. Another changed alien species. At least it’s only this once.
In my head canon, most force sensitive Wookies become tribal shaman, not Jedi. It's not worth the risk to grab force sensitive Wookies when they lose 3 Jedi to the forest on the way. Wookies are a lightside culture, Jedi don't need to keep them down.
lmao i love this
Gee, it's almost like Jedi stealing children is a stupid meme or something.
@@mpnuorvawell no. The Jedi do definitely steal babies lol
I’d get behind this. We know that they leave some force organizations alone for either political or ideological reasons so them leaving shamanic Wookiees be seems more than plausible
@@uncivilized_caveman they really dont. It's a meme but they very rarely actually took kids without parental permission. More often than not the parents had to contact the Jedi in the first place. The only times they really took kids without permission or against their will (still not ok) was during the New Sith Wars, and most of those kids were orphans
As for the minimal appearance of aliens in SW: Andor, isn't the Empire supposed to be 'humanocentric'... 'anti-alien'?...
Good point
That's not supposed to be everywhere. And we are dealing with the rise of the Rebellion, who used many aliens and droids.
@@ericp1139true, but most of the interaction in Andor was on empire controlled worlds.. also in legends, humans provided the backbone on the Rebel military. Look to the original movies.
@@rtyler1869 the Rebellion needed Mon Calamari for their ships, Bothans for their spy network, Ewoks on Endor, etc. Half the OG gang were aliens or droids.
The Empire being humanocentric was an early Legends concept that was basically written out by George Lucas in the prequel trilogy. Even at the end of Revenge of the Sith when Palpatine has pretty much everything he wants, he still has two non-human aids with him that are the same two we've seen for a long time. Palpatine doesn't think humans are better than everyone else, he just thinks he's better than everyone else.
There is also a Trandosian jedi in the high republic comics, I think it’s cool when the less commonly “good guy” species become Jedi learners/ Knights
ah yeah i remember he was cool in the drengir plot line
Woah. That's interesting. Not the alien I would think to join the jedi haha
Jedi had every race a Hutt Jedi, an Ansashi, Trandoshian, even a Dug.
In some ways, there are sometimes members of a species who don't agree with it. We often see this in Star Trek with a character like the Ferengi, Nog, and several other species that aren't UFP signatories, but apply to Starfleet anyway as they see it as a good opportunity or agree with their principles even if their overall culture doesn't. I can see plenty of cases where there may be those of a species who don't agree with their government and have a force sensitive child that they happily give away to the Jedi to get that kid away from their culture. Plus, let's be honest, the Jedi had seldom cared who they abduct to become a youngling as long as they were force sensitive, as they will grab them at an age where they will not have formed their own cultural ties and will instead have the Jedi culture forced onto them. There are likely plenty of human bad fits in the Jedi order working in the agri-corps or some other mundane area simply to make sure they aren't running loose. The Jedi are in the brainwashing child soldiers business, so they would care very little where you came from as long as you are force sensitive and not from a dark side culture. Slavers may be immoral, but that doesn't make them dark siders.
I always figured Wookiees are at least as prone to force sensitivity as other species. But their connection is more intuitive/ less dogmatic than the Jedi, who would fail to notice any kid not conspicuously floating building blocks around their crib.
You know what else, I think she’s a hybrid of a Zygerrian and a Zabrak, given the horns and minor stripes around them.
Zygerrians do have small horns since clone wars
@@АрвигБадмаев-и1э on their chins, not their heads
@@АрвигБадмаев-и1э Are you sure? I checked images of other Zygerrians, and it seems like Tasi Lowa’s a unique member of the Race.
Good explination and one that further complicates the backstory.
@@sirfishe9949 females have horns on their heads
To be fair, Kenobi wasn't really putting up a fight. His job was to distract that particular Zygerrian while Anakin and Ahsoka disabled the weapons (don't remember at this time what those weapons were).
that is true
I think they were giant bombs placed around a civilian town
thats true...but it still isn't an easy feat to toss a Jedi like flipping a pancake. :)
Nicholas Mayer was not a Star Trek fan, but gave us Wrath of Khan and Undiscovered Country. As long as you respect the source material, it might even be better not to have ‘fan baggage’
Is that all? He gave us arguably the BEST Trek film but he wasn't a fan?
I m not against an alien invasion, as long as they are twileks.
Like tentacles huh 🤣
@@GenerationTech likey lickey lekku
Nah, Zeltrons is where it’s at

@emperorpalpatine66 Oh from Marvel comics in 80s. I remember those purple beauties!
That introduction to Kelnacca makes me think that he and Jolee Bindo would have been fast friends and would have plenty of tea parties complaining about all the kids who keep showing up in their yards XD
Yeeeees 😁🙂 This should be sent to Leslye so she can have a good smile 🙂
The no Wookie jedi rule could have been a way to reduce a problem with Wookies showing up everywhere.
good point remember when chewie and han randomly showed up in middle of death trooper novel, while the main characters were in the middle of a zombie apocalypse on a derelict star destroyer
How soon they forgot about Tyvokka and Gungi, I think this rule was something more from 80’s-90’s than the past 2 decades.
@@GenerationTechBook was straight Dead Space horror up until Han introduced himself, then it became less scary now that I knew mainline characters were present in the book.
@@Star_Wars_With_PercyMan So true, or it could be that Wookie Jedi only become rare within the Order when they have VERY HIGH Force Sensitivity, that's why there are so few Wookie Jedi.
Plus during the Padawan arc in TCW, it's said that Wookie Jedi are rare. So they happen, but not that often. So 2 Wookie Jedi ~200 years apart are fitting for me
The Nemodians looked INCREDIBLE. Whoever was in charge of that: a million praises.. and then a million more.
Too bad they sounded goofy
@@westlapier5762 but they are all sound goofy , in movie and anime show
My favorite Star Wars actor playing a lovable furball will forever be John Candy! He was a good boy.
Going plaid!
His own best friend!

Jecki Lon is great. Dafne Keen is yet another example of the stellar acting cast of The Acolyte. She manages to convey Jecki Lon's youth, dogmatism, intellect, and inner warmth, all without seeming contradictory.
It's a good cast. The writing is amateur at best.
😂😂😂
@@slosubies4845 Sadly there's some accuracy to this. The writing isn't as bad as most haters make it out to be and in reality it's overall good, but this is Disney, this is Star Wars, it shouldn't have a bunch of stupid obvious mistakes in the first two episodes.
Right now I'm hopeful it reaches a level similar to the Fallout show. The Fallout show has some absolutely atrocious writing and CGI that would have looked bad in the 80s, which is even worse on a rewatch, but it's still great fun and that is the point of television.
The Acolyte at least has enough intrigue and thought going into it that it's actually better on a rewatch, so I remain determinedly hopeful for now.
I'm sure this won't end badly.
I didn’t realize she was Zygerion while watching the Acolyte but right before u said her species, I was like o wait I know her, she’s the slaver species 😂
I smell in the distance that the acolyte will include a storyline about corruption in the jedi order
That's what they're doing they're painting the Jedi as the embodiment of white supremacy.
*Rule of Two Sith Order laughing in the distance.*
And what’s the problem with that? We know the Jedi aren’t perfect. We’ve had plenty of stories about Jedi corruption in Legends.
@@supremeleadersmeagol6345they’ll make it about the patriarchy
I welcome the exploration of all background stories. The Star Wars Universe is so rich. Limiting productions to Skywalkers and lightsabers would be a waste of opportunities. The Jedi's demise did not come only because Palpatine was a master manipulator...
Fun head canon: Allen constantly has different backgrounds there are forces out there trying to silence him. So he is constantly on the run while making these videos
Love the discussions and content on the star wars show. Currently have some mixed feelings on it, but I'm open to see where it's going
you know about the dolphins i see
It's the damned dolphins.
Now I want to see a photo of Allen and his family swimming with dolphins at Sea World. Traitors...lol.
I blame the dolphin sympathizers out to get him
other channels are farming rage bait, this guy is actually digging into the lore and pumping out cool stuff, cheers mate
Allen is a cut above the rest and always has great thought provoking videos he is the Man 😂
Yes ^^ This is the Way 🙂
Well this show is garbage and so is Disney so it makes sense
@@kennyg3118dude…. . Get a life . Y’all aren’t gonna take down Disney with your cry baby tantrums 😂
@@TF-vb9us cope and seethe woke shill, no one cares less about your meltdowns over this show tanking lol Also the fan reviews and even critic reviews say otherwise
3:14 "she's actually a feline humanoid that's evolved from a sentient canine". Huh?
You're assuming all Zygerians are part of the same cutlure. Zabraks for example can either be from Dathomir or Iridonia, and plenty of Iridonian Zabraks have joined the order. There's also no reason to assume Zygerian culture was exactly the same at the Time.
There's a slight problem with your logic. The Zygerrians are heavily implied to be incredibly isolationist in terms of cultural creep, and rarely, if ever, go to other planets except to harvest more slaves.
Iridonia and Dathomir are two planets on separate sides of the Galactic Core, likely with little to no interaction with one another.
@@isengarde9490 And yet, both planets have Zabraks on them. One could have migrated to the other centuries, Millenia ago. Same with Zygerrians.
@@iainwhite8617 That's my *point.*
The Zygerrians have likely just been or are in the process of suffering the crackdown on their criminal empire the angry dude mentioned in the Clone Wars. So, there's likely not enough Zygerrians to actually go out and settle someplace else without risking extinction due to potentially incompatible environments.
In this time period, the ONLY place you're going to find a Zygerrian, is their home world.
The Zabrak cultures are wildly different, Iridonian Zabrak are fiercely independent travelers, and proud warriors, whereas Dathomiri Zabrak rarely, if ever, leave the planet and are subservient to the witches and their Matriarchy.
@@isengarde9490 But you don't know that for a fact. Until more is revealed of her backstory. there's no reason to assume she doesn't, or can't come from another world Zygerrians settled on a few centuries prior.
@@iainwhite8617
If they wanted mean cat people with the ability to have good members, they should've gone with the Cathar, hell they have deeper lore than the Zygerrians who were just kinda one off 'We need slaver aliens that aren't Hutts to keep things interesting'.
I don't think a zygerian has to have a violent recruitment story. Even in Zygeria, there may be Republic sympathizers. Of course, even in the Republic, people could have a violent Jedi recruitment. Take this channel favorite Jedi:Ki-Adi-Mundi. His father said no to the Jedi. A gang bike beat him up. Then he agreed to send Ki-Adi-Mundi to the temple so that the gang wouldn't kidnap Ki-Adi.
Another possibility is that she was given to the order for her own safety. Considering the hated they have for jedi, it's highly likely that the Zygerians became anti force sensitive. So her parents may have handed her over so she wasn't lynched or they rescued her from an abusive situation.
She is not just Zygerrian. Her horns and tatoos may imply she is half-Dathomirian Zabrak. Maybe this is why she is not with her species.
Some zygerrians have horns although it's usually only males and the horns are only on their chins
Female zyggerians do have small hornes you can see that in clone wars
@@АрвигБадмаев-и1э The only horns I have seen in all entirety of The Clone Wars were on Queen Miraj Scintel's crown. I wouldn't call growths near they eyebrows "horns".
If it's so Disney just made it up
Nah i believe theyve already said she is in fact a zygerrian i think ive seen it on the star wars instagram but dont quote me on that
Jedi don’t take children against the will of the parent. The parents have to give permission for the Jedi to take the child
Too many of these RUclipsrs don't seem to get it or they never read the material. The jedi asked the parents before they were taken. And to sit there and try and say alien species can't or shouldn't be jedi why? Just say you don't like space movies stop trying to act like you know what aliens would be good or bad just like kathleen you're not George.
Jedi also have Mind Tricks that 'Only Work on the Weak Minded' and never actually explains what this means.
Clearly not stupid people, because Mace and Obi Wan got Cad freakin' Bane under one when he stole that Holocron of Jedi Baby Doxes.
@@isengarde9490 There were extenuating circumstances around Cad Bane, since Anakin was also working with Mace and Obi-wan, and they didn't "trick" Bane so much as they tortured him.

826K subscribers I do remember the Zygerians, as they had a powerful and vast slave empire. The Zygerrians (Star Wars) are very much a lot like the Orion Syndicate (Star Trek), because they're infamously and notoriously well known for being greatly feared and notorious slavers and pirates. But it is always nice to see a fewgood, kind, and friendly individuals members of these two hostile species from their respective franchises fighting on the side of good. D'Vana Tendi one of the main characters from "Star Trek: Lower Decks" for example is a friendly female Orion who joins Starfleet and teaches us that not all Orions are bad.
Zygerrian Jadi are rare but they are some. Farzala Tarabal was a Zygerrian male Jedi Knight of the Jedi Order during the High Republic Era. And for now I dont see many problems with Acolyte. We see how it will look in next episode.
I like to see more "bad guy aliens" as something more than bad guys. Tuskens in Mandalorian and BoBF, Weeqway in Mandalorian and BoBF, Quarren in Clone Wars, Trandoshans in High Republic and Squadrons and now Zygerrian in Acolyte. Hopefully more like Hutts and Aqualish get same treatment someday. Even if most of certain species are a-holes there will always be some good guys in there
I would totally fraternize with some of those aliens. Boldly go where no man has gone before.
A real Captain Kirk here.
🫡godspeed... don't forget to bring penicillin
Somehow I suspect there've been hybrids for millenia by that point. :)
Its a shame we don't get to see Jecki and Yord's padawan interacting. I wonder if they are friends. I understand why they didn't want to add too many characters, especially another with such heavy makeup, but would have been interesting to see them discuss their masters, similar to Ahsoka and Barriss.
if we want to go by weird jedi species...there is an old comic about the first sith vs republic war and it does show a pureblood sith with the jedi XD
loltalk about standing out
I should note that Tasi Lowa wasn't the only Zygerrian Jedi. Just 100 years before The Acolyte, we had Farzala Tarabal from the High Republic Adventures comics.
(Here's me not wanting to spoiler myself this time but the thumbnail actually made it click for me 'Oh! She's *Zygerrian, isn't she.* ' I had this nagging sense of familiarity I couldn't place with her. )
I know this video wasn’t about those guys you mentioned but I would enjoy a video talking about different perspectives of being a part of the Star Wars fandom. I appreciate you for being very objective in your videos but I wouldn’t mind hearing your personal take whether I agree with it or not. Your one of my favorite Star Wars channels so I’ll support you no matter what
Thank god I’m not the only who caught that!😂 right when she appeared on screen I was like “what’s going on here”
I’ve been watching you for years and this is the first time I’ve commented (I think) I just wanna tell you that you’re the best Star Wars RUclipsr/Content creator. I enjoy The Acolyte and you’re the only one analyzing and making positive videos about it instead of crapping on it 😂. Disney isn’t perfect I agree and I don’t like the sequels too much but all of their shows have been great to me! Never stop making videos. You have the most in depth immersive Star Wars videos on the internet! Thank for the entertainment lol
I’m glad to see the push back against the toxic, hateful, crybaby whining coming from so many terminally online “fans”. Proud to see creators like Allen not giving into the incel hatesturbation that inundates any conversation about SW these days 😂
At this point, you’re the only person I trust to give a rational take on Star Wars at this point.
It’s really nice to see someone actually talk about Star Wars instead of the toxic fans making the same stupid points over and over and pretending to be Oscar writing geniuses.

So when is a cat girl not a cat girl when she is in a Disney Star wars tv series.
Her journey to the Jedi Order would be interesting to explore in a comic.
How did I not remember the knife fight between the rat & monkey like creatures!? I wonder how many other weird background/foreground events they slipped in that only get noticed upon rewatching.
I want a Harry and the Skywalkers sitcom.
I remember seeing at least one zygerrian civilian in the background during the clone wars season 5.
It's possible not all of them are slavers aside from tasi lowa.
I mean, there were Sith Pureblood jedi, anything is possible on this front
There were? Where? 🤔
The only one I can think of is Lord Praven from SWTOR, and his status as a Jedi is doubtful because the player can also kill him.
@@johannesseyfried7933 It is still a possibility that both Praven and the Jedi Order are open to. And consider the lightside path is the "canon" path for the knight, it can be assumed Praven did canonically become a Jedi
@@haberak3310 He's still the only one I can think of. Praven was a very....specific Sith.
Filoni shouldn't get heat for rescuing legends content.
I think it is a good thing he respects the old expanded universe. Some of the best Star Wars stuff post Disney takeover.
Just be thankful it was a Zygerrian and not a Cathar.
Imagine the CGI Cats, but an entire species of them.
A HUGE STEP SIDEWAYS KILLED ME XD
Star Wars has always had a race problem. The twileks are a dancing race, the bothans are a scheming race, etc
Planet of the Hutts...I mean Hatts...
I feel like if humans can be in the order, anyone can. Lol
You probably think dolphins would make good Jedi.
*HUMANS FIRST!*
Reminder that it's ok for people different from you to play in your sandbox
Oh ... I thought she was some kind of Bat species. You know, like in Andromeda. I look forward to your comments on the female Zabrak design they presented with the third episode today.
Bam! I thought of Andromeda too!
There have been at least two other zygerrian Jedi: Farzala and Tosan! Farzala specifically gets some spotlight on him during the high republic, he’s a really cool dude!
I also really like his blue coloring, it’s really unique!
When organizations are high, they make mistakes....
Now I wanna make a Zygerrian Jedi character in SW5E.
The behind the scenes crew really should take note on how to make alien characters look real from the LOTR crew
It's sad that Jecki had to die and Tasi had to live.
But since Jecki is part of the Party World race and Tasi was from the Slaver race--it would be nice to see her put with Vernestra in season 2. It could be nice to see a Zygerian with a light whip light saber. It would also be nice to see in live action what it's like for a Padawan when a Master dies.
It would have been crazy to have Tasi on that mission. I could see her murdering Qimir and then making a statement like... "you got my uniform dirty"
Regard Andor alien thing. We need to remember that alien presence vastly depend on the region. While in outer rim and slice it was common to see aliens. In the Core, well it was heavily dominated by humans. Andor is a show what primarily take place inside Imperial dominated regions (and Imperials were racist). So it hardly is a justified complain.
That's just playing cover for Gilroy's disdain for Star Wars. SW requires droids and aliens, otherwise, it's just generic scifi.
Mandalorian's were not known to be Jedi, but there is at least one instance where we do know. 🤷
Two instances with Sabine.
@@anthonyrodriguez8788 yes, absolutely but I was more meaning during the height of the Jedi order, Sabine will be awesome but she is not a Jedi yet lol, saying moreso I could see the Jedi taking this kid to try create dialogue to their species, much like when they ini-dated tar Visla
the quick little 40k disclamer is perfect
This show looks beautiful in a lot of ways. It is too bad the script is so pathetic.
0:05 ... Yeah, I think it's very telling that you have to open like that. I don't hate it. I just don't understand who they're trying to tell this story for. I thought they were supposed to have learned some kind of lesson about who their demographic is and who they need to be selling Star Wars to. If you want to kill a franchise, then tell your largest demographic that the franchise is no longer going to cater to you. It's not for you anymore. 😂
She is not the first zygerrian Jedi that we have seen on Star wars, there is also master Tosan from the obiwan comic.
Rip Kelnacca
Andor had the aliens just right. There are two points to consider: One is that Emperor Palpatine is essentially a "human cultist" (as Saw Guerra put it) and is anti-alien. The anti-alien bigotry in the Empire was evident even in A New Hope. That would inevitably mean the closer one gets to Palpatine's presence the fewer aliens one would see, and the more humanoid those aliens would have to be. And that's exactly what we see in Andor.
Second, _most_ planets would have only few aliens and those would be in specific areas. We see that in reverse in many cases and don't even notice: How many humans and "other" aliens do we see walking around "alien" planets? There are going to be crossroads and trade planets that will have more aliens, and we'd see more aliens at spaceport cities or trade cities. But there would also be planets and cities on planets that would have few or no aliens...just like there are cities on our planet that have few or no non-citizens.
For me, there are 3 things I accept. 1. I generally like every new show or movie that comes out in live action. Because they try to give us what we liked in animation. 2. With legends, there was so much info that you couldn't include it in new shows/movies from the start. Slowly add it and correct the errors that the books created. 3. No matter the show/movie. Fans are going to hate it, because it didn't do what they feel it should of done. Maybe years down the road they'll accept it, but they'll still hate it for that reason.
It's cool that The Acolyte has more aliens.
Yes indeed 🙂 I like those scenes & Zygerrian Jedi weehee 🙂 Late this evening i relax by streaming S01E03 via D+ ^^ "65 Led Telly, Dark Room, Ginger Tea & 2x Warm Veg Sammies 🍵🥪🧘 Enjoy S01 via D+ & share El Fine word 🙂
I'm finding the series interesting, especially given the includion of the Nightwitch Coven as a huge Nightwitch and Ventress fan, but there are a few things that don't make sense.
We see Osha use telekinesis as a child, then presumably she continued to use it during her jedi training, so how is it she couldn't use it to get Pip during the prison breakout scene? Even if you went without using telekinesis for some time after leaving the order such a basic use should have been well within her skillset.
As well, how did that fire spread so far and so fast given that most of their settlement was made of stone? My only real theory is that the jedi attacked the coven and killed the sisters, which honestly makes a lot of sense given their apparent guilt, but did they also start a fire and it's just a coincidence that Mae started a smaller fire at the same time? Did they detect the fire and intentionally spread it to cause chaos and cover up their crime? Idk, the fire just doesn't seem to make sense to me.
As well, why would the jedi induct a nightsister into their order? This coven didn't seem as dark side as the ones on Dathomir but it still seems like such a risk given Osha is old enough to remember her past and her existing training, she's less likely to completely fall for the jedi indoctrination. Maybe Osha's story and age is what gave Yoda such pause with Anakin given their similar age when joining the order but it still seems pretty out of character for the jedi just given she was specifically part of a coven unlike Anakin who was ignorant of the force when he was discovered.
Overall I'm enjoying it so far, I just hope we get sone more answers in coming episodes.
I have read a fic that had a Zygerrian Jedi in it - the fic did that specifically because it was a "Tatooine Slave Culture" fic, in fact I think it is the tentpole fic of the fanon that is cited next to Fialleril's own work (FYI for people who don't know the fanon, Fialleril is the one who invented it). The plot point was that Shmi (who was characterised as being Force Sensitive in the fic)meets the Zygerrian and he has a very repentant for his species attitude.
I think the thing having a Zygerrian Jedi loses out on is bringing up that issue in their racial background. Maybe this show is not looking in that direction, so the slaver issue is never going to be brought up.
The first two Star Wars films are more human centred. Yoda being the only really alien character is fleshed out more as a consequence. It's only with Jedi and probably with developments in puppetry and later CGI that aliens become less of an exotic bit of flavour like the Cantina scene and appear everywhere. I think to the detriment of the story. The Hoth Battle feels like a real battle because real Norwegian soldiers are in real snowy trenches. The Gungans vs the Battledroids is a cartoon and doesn't feel like real characters facing a real threat. Not just because of the CGI but also because we are human. We aren't robots or rabbit frogs.
I sure wish people would stop Retcon Star Wars, the movie by referring it to as "A New Hope" or "Episode IV". In 1978, they released "Star Wars". Yes, much later they released a new movie "Episode IV, A New Hope" which reused many scenes from Star Wars. But that didn't exist in 1978. But at least for those who actually saw "Star Wars", there is a significant difference.
The first move was "Episode IV" from the very beginning in 1977. I saw it the first weekend of its release. "Episode IV" was right there at the top of the scrolling prologue, as the movie was intended to emulate an old-fashioned Saturday matinee.
There were a bunch of aliens on Ferrix in the beginning of Andor.
And then quickly none at all.
@@ericp1139 Very few scattered across the series. But I think it's kind of explainable in-universe as to why there are few aliens in S1. Andor's homeplanet is mainly human with a few non-human citizens, and the prison is human exclusive as the Empire is very human centric and xenophobic. But you can also see some in the beach of Niamos.
@@matheuss886 that’s our interpretation for an in-universe explanation. The real reason is likely that Disney forced Gilroy to include the bare minimum of Star Wars elements, so people will be reminded they are watching Star Wars.
@@ericp1139 Gilroy himself stated in an interview that he wanted to focus on the 'human' element of Star Wars and make it more relatable to the viewer, that this is a fight seen from the ground, about ordinary people feeling forced to become foot soldiers against oppression.
@@matheuss886 yes, but he’s doing that in the Star Wars universe, where aliens and droids are rampant. You’re playing cover for Gilroy’s admitted disdain for Star Wars. It would be like doing a LOTR show, but trying to be “realistic” and focused on humans by cutting out elves, orcs, dwarves, etc.
The act of taking a child from their parents against their parents wishes is morally questionable? Do you live in the same world as everyone else? More unfit parents exist than children lucky enough to be free of them.
That doesn't keep it from being morally questionable. The morality in that case is balanced against the morality of leaving the child with parents that will harm the child. If the child is healthy and thriving with the parents, then, yes, it's morally questionable to take the child from those parents, even if in someone else's opinion the child would thrive "better" under someone else's care.
The show starting 150yrs plus before the battle of Yavin, it would give the series more wiggle room if it gets multiple seasons.
Exploring diverse jedi species is generally a good idea.And even the Zygerrian slaver gets a pass.. Nature versus nurture and all that.... As long as they do not get a wild hair and try to go too far.... the Hutts had ONE, singular jedi, So the body positivity box has been checked. No need to go there again.
(Torben's Temple already has the Chonky boy ... I'm assuming he's not just from a high gravity world)
I've enjoyed The Acolyte and I'm not sure what the problem is with some of the hate. Great video!
Probably the main cast clue they are not white.
I like seeing the non-human Jedi. One of my favorite parts of the 2D Clone Wars shorts were the Ithorian and Talz jedi that protected Palpatine during the Battle of Coruscant episode.
As far as the remixng of Legends content. I think that's why Disney/Lucasfilm re-branded Expanded Universe content as Legends was so they make changes. Another point of view of actual history can be considered a legend.
Tech is chilling on The Forest Moon Of Endor.
I sincerely don't really understand the problem with it. If it was impossible for a certain species to become Jedi, wouldn't it defeat a lot of the core elements of the entire franchise about CHOICE? Does that mean the Force itself is sentient and has prejudices as well? Wasn't there a real SITH Jedi already? Also... the Jedi take most of the younglings as KIDS, little kids. She was probably raised in Coruscant.
The Force does show some level of sentience...and prejudice. Inasmuch as Sith is not a species but a belief system, I don't think there has ever been a "Sith" Jedi. Former Sith, maybe...and we've seen Jedi turn to Sith.
I love how this man is writing more interesting canon in his head by reading between the lines than the writers can express explicitly.
Love your videos! Always hyped when I see a notification that you dropped a video :)
It's unfortunate that they didn't include Burryaga who /should/ be still alive for the Acolyte. He's a very interesting wookie jedi from the High Republic though I suspect the lack of use suggest he may not survive the Nihil Conflict.
The showrunners admitted that even they don't read the books.
You know after reading and watching so many things about Wookie Jedi they are pretty rare. Almost to the point that there is only ever one per generation. It make you wonder if this is intentional through the force that there is always at least one force sensitive Wookie in the galaxy at all times.
The horns and the facial structure... maybe she's half-zabrak?
I wish that Lucas Studio's would cover the high republic more movies and TV shows about the jedi before the empire
The Zygerrian is just lucky she wasn't around when Anakin was a jedi. Her death in Order 66 would not have been pleasant
I think that thw Zygerrian Jedi could also be part Zabrak giving the horns on her head. I have not seen other Zygerrians with horns like she has.
Weren’t there races who basically abandoned force-sensitive children - kicked them out of their society? Being cast out and and rescued by either a Jedi seeker or someone who brought her to a (relatively) local temple would explain a zygerrian padawan
Of course she was taken by force against her will to be indoctrinated by the Jedi Order - that's Padawan Initiation 101! A time honored tradition that Jedi have been employing for over a millennia...though never actually talked about it, anywhere...at all, throughout the entirety of the all nine movies. Cute bit of fan fiction hypothesizing, though.
Thoughtful analysis of the show, finally. I'm sick of all these weird, highly critical reviews by dudes who clearly have something against women, or something. I enjoyed the backstory on the various alien species, it helps flesh out the show. I'm still on the fence as well, and definitely share some of the overall concerns (fire in space, etc.), but I do find that a lot of these SW shows need the entire arc of the season to reveal how well (or poorly) executed they were.
It's a critical weakness when one can't say that each episode is at least decently written. It shouldn't take watching the entire series to decide the time spent was worth it.
Korriban wasn't the heart of the Sith Empire, that was Dromand Kass.
I thought it was fascinating to see a Zygerrian Jedi for that exact reason, too! Definitely not a species that you'd typically find in the Jedi Order considering their background, and I wanna know more about how she ended up there. Personally, I am liking The Acolyte so far (aside form episode 3 basically erasing the legacy of Anakin Skywalker. Really? They really had to do that?). I know a lot of people don't like it, but that's fine as long as nobody is telling other people what they can or can't like.
criter size just means there a LOT of oxygen on the planet
Ironically probably too much oxygen for most humans to be able to survive on Kashykk without some kind of respirator to reduce the amount of oxygen to a level their lungs can handle and then Wookies would need supplementary oxygen to visit other worlds as there would be too little.
The wookie jedi died. Bro had no screentime at all in ep 4, save the sight of his dead body. It was so depressing, they wasted such a potentially good character.
Because letting zygiran force sensitive stay in her own culture would be any better?
This Zygerrian woman may be simply exception of the rule of Zygerria, individual who born so kind hearted she joined the first opposite faction to Zyggeria's slavery in range and it happened to be the Jedi Order. She's like Dooku, Qui-Gon Jinn, Anakin Skywalker, Ahsoka Tano of Zyggeria, people who think differently than Jedi Order, more similar to Dooku who joined Sith from Jedi.
Didn’t like the show “Acolyte”so far, but not be cause of diversity or whatever anti-woke BS some push, but because it was Keystone Cops in Spaaace!!! The Jedi are totally incompetent and so VERY dull in character.
As for the Zygarian looking Jedi Padawan, I think she looks close to one, but really is another species or distant relative. The horns as part of her biology is the give away that she’s not a Zygarian. Hybrid maybe, but not a real Zygarian . . . unless they fudged that up too. Heck, but in a galaxy where fires burn in the vacuum of space, failed seatbelts are enough to save you in spaceship crashes, and no cold weather cloths are needed in a snow blown, mountainous wasteland to survive, sure she’s Zygarian, whatever. I can certainly suspend reality or fictional world built norms in Sci-Fi/Fantasy adventures, but please do push the extent to which I have to suspend that reality or established norm before I start eye rolling.
George Lucas is honestly the worst person to handle his own lore. Many parts of the original trilogy worked because they'd look at his script and improved or ad libbed the part that read like crap. Taking George as the gospel truth was what made the prequel so bad.
The one bright spot in an otherwise totally dark black hole of stupidity and retcon.
I actually hope to see the Cathar species, but I think they were replaced by Zygerians
Fun fact! First time you see a Zygerian Jedi is in the mobile game Galaxy of Heroes.
Sadly, we didn't get to see the Wookie jedi in action. He was killed by that Sith or whoever he was. I do wonder who that Sith warrior in the Acolyte was. The Acolyte is now actually getting good. They apparently felt that the 4th episode was the episode to make the Acolyte a little bit better. The first three episodes was dull to watch, don't get me wrong, they were painful to watch, but now, they decided to make it slightly better to watch
She is most likely the wielder of the Lightwhip or the "Zygarrian slavers whip" from the trailer. It's an electro whip and not really a light whip.
(Feline from Canine?) Looks at Both my Cats and Dogs differently now.
I'm still waiting for the return of Hutt Jedis
