  • No matter how bad Star Wars gets, there's always something worse around the corner. And that thing just so happens to be Episode 7 of the Acolyte, the penultimate episode of the series. The episode which answers the questions you never even wanted to ask.

    Hi, 56 yr old SW, comic book and action figure fan here. When I saw SW for the first time it was mind blowing to my 14 yr old mind. For those doing the math, yes I saw Episode IV and V in 1983(I turned 15 in DEC), I then won tickets on my local radio station to see Return of the Jedi at a premiere at a local theatre, It was a surreal experience. The only other movie to have that same impact on me was Spider-Man in 2002(at 34 yrs old). At the end of that movie, as the credits rolled I had tears streaming down my face because I had waited so many yrs to see Spider-Man on the screen. I do not believe for a second any one involved with any of the Disney SW or current Marvel media has experienced any life changing moments when it comes to any form of pop culture. They cannot be true fans, they do not understand or respect the source material. It is very sad. By the way, I am half white and half mexican, been married for 36 yrs and have two grown children, so that destroys the racist white male/incel narrative progressives like to spout. Ultimately shows like the Acolyte just depress the hell out of me.

      What makes that now infamous clip even more cringe & pathetic is that that actress, on that same stage that same day sat there in front of the SW fan base literary BRAGGING about how she plays this powerful leader. Now when we know the result of her character the character is first of all dead (thank goodness) & secondly I would not exactly call that character a powerful leader to begin with. A leader of some kind living in hiding that knows a few party tricks in the Force that she has renamed into the Thread. I'm not saying she is powerless but I always assumed that she was this great ruler of a whole planet or something the way the actress went on about it. Instead Disney SW has given us yet again a black actress a very bad, meaningless role that ends up going nowhere & that anyone with half a brain realizes beforehand that no one's gonna be buying that action figure. Who exactly IS the sexist racist I keep asking after following Disney SW for a decade now. They are not exactly giving their black actresses any meaningful roles that people will like, do they? But we all know exactly why these black actresses were hired. So the show runners & KK & Pablo & the rest of the insane gang at Lucasfilm can have yet another black actress to hide behind so their lack of story telling talent can be ignored by all the hate they toss at the fan base that merely points out that this was yet again more shitty writing with another shitty character that just happened to be cast by a black woman.

    2:22 What’s even more funny is that, in Star Wars lore, there are actual Jedi who are assigned to do things like this.
    They are part of a group called the Jedi Survey Corp, and they are basically Jedi Padawans/Younglings who failed to pass their final test and don’t become knights, and so are given more menial (but still important) jobs in the temple, like being an Archivist or Explorer.
    So not only does this mission not make sense, it also breaks the lore, because they sent Jedi Masters and Knights to do work that should be done by the Survey Corp.

The explosiosn and such also seem to have set off the Jedi.
    And if its not Mae's fault its her mom's for encouraging her to do it in the first place.
    The Jedi are actually completely in the right here, the show's just kind of...playing with the idea of them being bad without committing to it.

      Yeah, Star Wars Theory got into that on his review of the episode. However, like I said on there, the selective use of the Force and what the Jedi and Sith can do with it has always been sketchy since the original trilogy. They can force push a pack of droids off a cliff but can't do that to an enemy they are fighting in a light saber battle (Anakin and Obi-Wan could easily have force pushed each other into the lava pits on Mustafar for merely one example). They can use force choke at any time but rarely use it when it could get them out of a dire situation (like in a light saber battle when they get disarmed for example). Inconsistent and illogical from the start to be honest.

      It sounds like the "Worst" thing the Jedi did was covering up what happened, especially as none of them were particularly in the wrong for doing what they did up to that point and they thus shouldn't have had to worry about coming forward.
      Even if Lesbian Sith Witch Mama didn't mean any harm with what she did (Though it sure as hell looked like she did, we could see the kid disintegrating), Squid Game Guy assuming that she posed a threat seemed pretty reasonable under the circumstances, thus making his skewering of her justifiable.
      Trinity was just trying to snap the Wookiee Jedi out of the possession/ spell, she had no way of knowing her doing that would kill all the other lesbian Sith witches.
      The Jedi should have just told the Jedi council what happened, the council would have almost certainly understood.
      Even that cover- up, though, while a mistake, shouldn't cause the Jedi to be seen as "The bad guys" in the situation.

      I know,I am the same. And the clips in the RUclips reviews are more than enough to see what is going on and tell the limited story, without you having to endure the padding, terrible writing and dire actors. Its the same for Doctor Who, and Trek and Marvel films and show. You dont want to see them anymore as you know its a waste of time and they are bad. But you know you will get entertainment from RUclipsrs tearing them to bits and highlighting the stupidity and bad writing. And its the small part of you that is curious to see how bad things have become and how far the things you loved have fallen. Its like slowing down as you drive past a road accident to try and work out who is at fault and who crashed into who....
