"Amandla Stenberg has the acting range of a wanted poster." Yeah, I'm stealing that.
Hey now, the wanted posters in Harry Potter had much more range than Amandla Stenberg.
**spit take**!! Me too.
More like a plank of wood
Makes Steven Seagal look like Brando.
@@sirfearlesshippo7378 How dare you compare Amandla Stenberg to Plank, he's got way more range then her.
Fascinating that the girl's definition of "set up to fail from the beginning" involves being given a $180 million budget and carte blanche to tinker with the canon of the most high-profile IP in entertainment history.
True. I'd like to be "set up to fail" too please 🙂
I mean, they're not entirely wrong. Being greenlit by Darth "reverse Midas touch" Kennedy and given to inexperienced activist showrunner Lesbian Headlamp to be tailored for the tastes of the mythical modern audiences, really set the show up to fail from the beginning. No amount of budget could have produced any better outcome here.
and she, like others, conveniently forgot Rogue One.
Pink. Hair...
Daddy wasn't rich enough either, or the correct colour. Poor kid.
Let´s have a New Orleans Funeral with music, singing and a big party.
My life is incomplete until I get a heart from Chato!
Here you go.
I never watched an episode of the show but have been introduced to a handful of articulate and entertaining RUclips movie reviewers commenting on the episodes. So there is an upside to the show. 😂
No more Acolyte?...
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hallelujah, my prayers have been answered!!!
And just like that, a billion voices all cried out in unison. They weren't sad, they were glad. Star Wars fans young and old stood hand in hand as they sang a unified chorus: "Ding Dong the woke Acolyte is dead!"
Do you think that in a matter of 2 years anyone is going to remember about the Acolyte? How many cosplays of Osha or Olivemadam will we see at the next convention?
Twice the pride, Double the Fall...
I wonder if there is a deaf guy out there named Dennis who's like "yes?"
Hail Sir. This is the funniest RUclips show I have seen in ages. 😊 I'm subbed.
Welcome aboard!

Oh no! That sounds too much like The Chant. I'd rather cut my ears off than imagine *that* again 😂
And there was much rejoicing.
When I first heard "The Acolyte" was not going to have a second season, my first thought was, "Thank God! Now Chato will not have to suffer through watching a second season...he's getting too old to suffer through eight more mind-numbing episodes."
Here lies the acolyte. It didn't die soon enough.
The Acolyte was neither deep nor significant. It was simply stoopid.
Disney Star Wars= Proof that Ewok Chrismas isnt as bad as you remember.
Hell, the Star Wars Holiday Special (1978) isn't as bad as the Disney stuff and it's available to watch online for free!!!!
@@AvengerII Dude Bea Arthur and Don frankes in the holiday SP was the best of the best.
@@AvengerII Kinda my point. You shit on an OP and no...the fans arent going to like it.
@@ianbrowning7437 Bea Arthur on there was my first thought! She reminded me so much of my own Grandmother LOL.
@@AvengerIIat least it was good for a cringe laugh. Acolyte was just cringe . . . to the point I never even wanted to watch it out of curiosity.
"The Bigots Weren't Ready"!
Consolation t-shirts given out to the now unemployed crew members of The Acolyte by Kathleen Kennedy herself just before her private helicopter picks her up and takes her to her private island.
What a lovely woman😊
The issue isn’t bigots. The issue is that the target market doesn’t spend sufficient money on such products to keep them going.
Everyone knows that.
That’s why leftists hate capitalism- their propaganda doesn’t sell in a free market.
That island didn't originally belong to Jeffrey Epstein, did it by any chance? I am being nice!
😂
I have never heard it said better. “It’s not supposed to be deep. It’s supposed to be fun.”
Even so, it was deep as a puddle.
@@rath6375in dry season.
@@rath6375And as much fun as a root canal with no anaesthetic.
Woke entertainment is not designed to entertain. It is designed to preach propaganda and that’s never fun.
The nose-knobs in response : "Having fun is bigoted and hateful!"
It's neither though 😅
When you said: "Amandla Stenberg has the acting range of a wanted poster" I burst out laughing. Couldn't help it. It's gold. Thank you.
And reviewing the first three Star Wars movies and Ebert identified the success of the franchise as three things: characters, we can care about, a good story and quality control.
The acolyte didn’t have any of those three properties.
The Failure of one
The Failure of two
The Failure of 180 millionnnnn
the failure of maaaaaannnnyyyyyy
The fact that disney spent what NBC spent on 222 episodes + 2 tv movies of Dynasty on eight episodes of a show that no one cared about will never not absolutely blow my mind.
They'd have gotten better use out of that money if they'd taken the cash, tossed it in a dumpster and burnt it for heat.
Remember LesLYE said; "this is the most important piece of " art" I've ever done." WOW she must have never taken an art class or ever been to a museum. Delusional. Or ever watched an artistic movie before.
I mean her/she/it/whatever said that """"ArT""""" I've ever done"... maybe she never had flushed the toilet before
That's the major problem. She was trying to make "modern art" for fans who wanted something fun and entertaining. Not something baffling and boring.

I give thanks to CHATO that I don't know, nor care, what that means.
Rip Star Wars. I don't see how anyone can turn the ship(wreck) around.
@@robdielemans9189 Probably after Disney sells off the property to a foreign Korean film maker that respects the original heart of the series. That MIGHT shut up the whi-men whining about "SW too White" to only have Asian Storm Troopers, Monsters, Sith Lords, Princesses and Wookies run the set with English subtitles.
They (Koreans) could do better stories than Disney. In fact a Zombie Star Wars movie like Train to Busan would be an improvement. An epic train battle fighting Zombie Storm Troopers that brought in the zombie virus from their Death Star would be Great!
@@dilbertjunkmail Well, they could make a movie out of Joe Schreiber's Legends novel "Death Troopers" (2009). There, an imperial prison ship is contaminated with a zombie virus. It's a Han Solo and Chewbacca story set just before the events in New Hope. (And, in fact, in Ahsoka, we also had zombie troopers brought back from the dead by the Nightsisters to serve Grand Admiral Thrawn. There's material :-)
No question there was once plenty of material for inspiring good stories. You idea is as good as any, so go for it. But most of those opportunities have been lost on the poor writing and DEI staff pushing "The Message".
Time for someone other than Disney to carry the Banner of Star Wars. Corporate models traditionally change slowly, refuse to admit fault or mistakes but protect their own backsides are all others expense. Like our current government, it seems impossible to Vote into Positions of Power, a better level of Competence!

That brief glimpse into the view of the haters who are angry the show was cancelled tells us that the intersectional racists loved it because of the superficial aspects they insist only bad people care about, and those looking for quality storytelling and a fun and engaging world can GAGF.
I think that woman at 7:22 works very hard... at making herself as physically repulsive as possible.
Chato, you deserve hazard pay for having to watch that series so that the rest of us didn't have to. We greatly appreciate it.
Also, I wouldn't be surprised if this show has the same fate ultimately as the Willow show.
Hopefully, his Canadian healthcare has Chato covered OR Chato has to have a REALLY good sense of humor to endure this crap!
To quote The Exorcist -- "It burns!" (Dunno if I'm referring to the continuing disaster movie series known as Di$KNEE WarZZ or the sight of the Frankenstein-shaped skull of Headland. Either is disturbing!)
I'm NOT taking chances and I'm staying as far away from Di$ney War$ after The Last Jedi! It really didn't get any better from all the clips and video reviews I've seen.
Thank goodness, I was smart enough to NOT keep the Disney+ app on my smartphone or Roku device... Not even for FREE -- it's just not worth it!
Before streaming a 6-hour story would be called a miniseries, not a season! And this is a hill I will die on every time! 🤪
It was a six - episode pilot.
I'd like to have seen the actual show.
Oh well!
John Hurt was such a complete deviant Caligula without us having to see him fist any horses. And what they did to make what was essentially a long stage play into engrossing television. Amazing. Good writing, the best actors, and fantastic everyone behind the scenes is so much more satisfying than $300 million of CGI. Please, Lord, let the superhero universes collapse next.
7:21 - Orange Woman Mad. Well, I think its a "woman", but, then again, I'm not sure even she knows. She seems to be very upset about things involving women. OK, paint me confused...
I think The Acolyte was doomed to fail the moment they hired Harvey Weistein's assistant of years to run the show
The power of one....season.
I'm SURE that Headland's coven were already preparing a season two teaser that said "The Power of Two." Sadly, that will end up in the trash bin. (Not so sadly.)
Good one!
🤣🤣👏👏
Cant prove this... but:
Leslie "knows things" from her days with Harvey.
To make sure those things stay quiet, she was offered a chance to make shows.
She and hers made media they wanted to make, and paid themselves well from the budget.
Mission accomplished.
Exploiting past tragedys for personal gain, hmmm. No way anyone would ever do that.
That had to be one mf-er of an NDA.
"I forever promise not to spill all of my boss' worst secrets if you give me $100 million."

@@budgiecat9039 omg , now i cant unsee that.
100% it's also why she cast her wife who I am willing to bet was one of, if not the, highest paid actor on the show
the tombstone made me laugh way too hard lol
I'm not a big SW fan, to the extent that my favourite Star Wars movie is Spaceballs... but i thoroughly enjoyed the hilarious recaps of The AcoShyte by your good self, and the likes of Disparu and Mauler. Must admit I'm a tiny bit disappointed there won't be a season two for you to rip to shreds!
Fair enough!
"It's supposed to be fun, which it no longer is."
Nailed it.
05:40 "We had to endure Amandla's acting which had the range of a wanted poster!" Mr. Chato you are such a gentleman! Critical Drinker brutally compared her to Steven Seagal.
This just in: Steven Seagal files suit over "exceptionally malicious defamation of character" 😆
Correction: he compared her to a "comatose Steven Seagal."
Lesley Headlamp "What do you know about Star Wars?" "Wasn't that something with flying cars and a big dog?" "You are hired for a main role!".
Alternative ending: "Sorry, you are overqualified for the role!"

Remember when even bad shows wanted to make 100 episodes so they could be syndicated? Thankfully The Acolyte will probably just disappear from our collective consciousness and just be a thumbnail no one clicks on in Disney+. (At least until that streaming service is shut down.)
The power of many… people not giving this awful show views.
That may have earth-shattering news, but it’s not nearly as earth shattering as knowing we aren’t going to get any more RUclips coverage of the Acolyte. 😉
How many RUclips channels are going to die from lack of content?
@@whollymindlessThey're making Sister Act 3... Mockery will continue for the foreseeable future.
*Acholyte.
@@whollymindless None. Hollywood is still going to continue make terrible content for long revered IPs. And in the event of Hollywood actually giving the fans good content, the RUclips channels will be more than happy to share what they enjoyed about it. It’d be a refreshing change for bot RUclips and Hollywood.
@@brick6347no freaking way! 😂😂😂 Whoopi returns!
R.I.P. The Acolyte.
Best Disney shite wars show that I have never seen...
This just made my day better!
The original Trilogy were and are the best. They had, as you said, everything. Well paced, well acted, serious edge of seat moments, funny one liners that were well placed. Characters that developed and learned from failure.
A strong woman in Organa but who knew her limitations and worked with Luke, Han and Ben. Practical ground breaking effects. Above all they had heart.
Although as viewers we ‘knew’ the good guys would, likely, win there was still an air of doubt and fear that it was not certain. Proper writing.
This denizen CRIES for more Paul! More! More! More! …. And thank you sir! (not more acolyte, more Chato!)
Imagine 20+ years from now. It's a quiet, but mostly rundown trailer park. The sun is about 10 minutes from setting. A rusty, squeaky door opens on one unit and the one and only Leslye Headland comes shambling out of her mobile home with a beer in one hand and the other five still in their ring swinging from her other hand. She moves towards the 55 gallon drum that is serving as the central communal gather spot for all the other of the park's denizens. The gathered group has gotten a fire going from scraps of dead wood and Amazon boxes.
They all grimace as they see her approach because they know what is coming. The has-been, used to be, Leslye is going to regale them *_again_* all about her glory days at Disney and the fantastic success she had with her show, The Acolyte, (That No One Understood) as if she has never spoken to them before.
One puts on a headset and tries to enjoy the coming twilight. Others engage in their own conversations and do their best to ignore the coming rant. Several others quietly contemplate what it would take to move to another park. No one is happy.
Sad to think that Leslye will continue to ruin things for people long after she exits Disney.
That sounds an awful lot like me.
@@CallMeChato Thank you for the read and reply. I also appreciate your self-depreciating humor. Your legacy is assured and it will never be in the same category as Ms. Headland.
Your efforts are genuinely and greatly appreciated. 🙂
Well done! That's actually better writing than 90% of Disney nowadays.
@@Solw149 Thank you for your kind assessment. 🙂
"I, Claudius" and the "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy" with Alec Guiness are two of my all-time favorite mini-series. I'm still watching them all these decades later. Good stuff, good stuff.
Tinker, Tailor even had stunning end credits music, a setting of the Nunc Dimittis that was years later performed at the funeral of its composer, Geoffrey Burgon.
@@markiangooley I heard the music in my head when you mentioned it. Gorgeous.
If you havent yet, you might want to check out “The Sandbaggers” ITV. Of the same era, when TV was not just good, but intellectual.
@@alanteare1603 I've watched all the "Sandbaggers" eps many times. Fantastic show. It ended because the writer died. I ner-ner-ner'ed the theme music as I typed this.
😉 So you're saying there is a chance the genius of The Acolyte might be realized with repeated viewings over decades......... 🤣🤣🤣
Paul: "I have a show to do!"
Ouch, way to rub it in.
I approve.
When a female activist says "it does not matter whether we like the show or not", then you know they don't care if its good entertainment or not. It is just the message that matters!
Yeah, I caught that... These shows literally exist to be liked and watched and no one liked or watched it. DEI has absolutely no ability to make money in the free market... Maybe it was a 180,000,000 million dollar money laundering scheme... not sure...
Life of Brian was great.
"Let's not blame Kathleen" reminds me of "but Brutus is an honorable man"
Brutus loved Rome more, not Caesar less.
Coming next year from the Walt Disney Company the original Disney+ series, Teenage Mutant Ninja Lesbians.
I'd say that nothing of value was lost by this cancellation, but the damage to the mental health of viewers like yourselves is a high price to pay for our entertainment. Thank you for your service.
You nailed it at the end Chato. Star Wars doesn't need to be deep. It needs to be fun. And it isn't.
The one thing the Danger Hair Tiktoker conveniently forgets is that the majority of humanity and the audience are not affected by review bombing(which doesn't really exist). They sample any show's first or second episodes and then decide whether to stay on for the full season. It is clear that this show's rating plummeted 50% after the first three episodes and most of the early audience bailed. The Acolyte failed all on it's own but all it's small base of fans only have one excuse to explain it which is the worst kind of bizarre conspiracy thinking imaginable.
i am offended that you would dare mention 'I, Claudius' in the same breathe as the acolyte.😂😂
I was thinking the same thing 😂
The thought of Lee-Jong Jae prancing around in a pink loincloth like John Hurt as “The Rosy-Fingered Goddess Dawn” made me throw up in my mouth.

Entertainment is supposed to be entertaining, what a revelation
People who think Star Wars was "white and male" reveal themselves to have never actually watched Star Wars.
Hey, Paul, weren't you the one who retitled it, 'The Ejachoylte'???? If so, a tip of my hat to you! 4:54

They k1lled off the only sympathetic character.😅 Rest in peace, Master Squidgame. You deserved better.
I find it comforting in this age of metal and plastic that Hollywood still finds value in wooden acting. As long as they don't print any blue-rays or DVDs to stuff landfills with the detritus of this show, then it can truly become the most eco-friendly series ever (not) seen!
That’s the “power of many.”

"Star Wars is not supposed to be deep! It's supposed to be fun!"
That is the best and most accurate summation of Star Wars I have ever seen. And the original trilogy was SO much fun. The Acolyte, on the other hand ....
I cladius is one of my favourite shows ever.
I, Claudius was a good mini-series, despite its paucity of lightsaber battles. 😁
Last I checked around 52% of humans posses XX chromosomes, and some seemingly ever expanding group of people possessing XY chromosomes are identifying as women these days as well. White people are around 16% of the total population of the world, and again the slight majority of them are biologically female. Around 5% of men identify as gay. So somewhere in the neighborhood of 6.35% of the population of humans in the world would be likely to identify as white, male, and straight.
In other words, if the show was so damn good, why didn't anyone from the other 93.65% of the population watch it either? Cause the ratings were 40% lower then the previous worst performing Disney Star Wars show to date. So practically no one from any group anywhere watched it. Looks to me like the show that was made for no one found its audience.
Not 1 sexy or fun character I'd like to spend afternoon with. Hollywood can't depict people who try to be pleasant. Women want marriable men, men want hot chicks, not bureaucrats without humor... . . Han got married, Soul and Osha and rest will die alone.... I watch Korean TV and the characters try to be pleasant, it's so weird, nice people who would clean and cook just to see smile.
But... I wanted a season 2! So I can watch my favorite content creators continue to SUFFER!!! 😭
That does not matter. True Fans will make Fan created Acolyte season shows. They will not have copywrite strikes put against them by Lucas Arts because Kathleen Kennedy wants those fan generated shows made, and they will use Kickstarter to fund episodes, at least 15 if possible. Acolyte series will continue.
What a shock, an instalment of “the force is female” franchise where people stand around and talk for hours about their feelings and relationships. Great. As a bloke that’s exactly the kind of viewing experience I avoid. Strangely enough my wife loves nothing more than watching these kind of compelling inaction shows. Unfortunately she doesn’t like science fiction shows. Way to go Disney. You made a product that has no appeal to most people.
That last girl is so confused, "review bombing" is mostly a reaction to something that looks bad, this was bad. How many people does she think has a dedicated farm of accounts to downvote something with?
Upvoting on the other hand, many companies pay huge money for astroturfing, we recently had someone on Radio talk about their job, that person and about 20 others worked for a major label, buying their own songs all day to trend on itunes and such.
If the Acolyte was good, people would've shut up straight away, look at House of the dragon, people thought it had gone completely woke, it starts, it's good, people shut up and watch.
Poor Acolyte, we didn't watch thee.
