Don't torture yourself. I refuse to watch it myself. I was disgusted with Book of Boba Fett. My wife loves Asoka from Clone Wars, so we watched Asoka and I was disappointed. So I'm done with Disney Star Wars.
I stopped watching The Acolyte when they disapproved my script of a new Sith Lord named Darth Unicornius who has a lightsaber in his head that he uses to ram enemies with.
That might be because they’re still reviewing my pitch for next D+ Marvel content, The Unicorn. It’s a show based on the classic villain, The Unicorn, and it’s basically the same thing where he goes a’ramming everyone but I have him specifically targeting the male heroes to try and give myself a bit of an edge at the Big D. I hate to hear they rejected you though. Even though the projects are so similar why not throw $400M+ at both of them? It’s not like anyone will watch either anyways 😂
I feel you man. They wouldn't pick up my script for Darth jarlooma. Who used a hoolahoop lightsaber. So, her hands would be free to do force powers, and was trying to find her long lost mother mara jade.
I was told multiple times this last week that there are NO REAL CRITICISMS of the Acolyte. Just bigots! I've also been told that these shows aren't for me anymore.
The culture war and it’s consequences have been a disaster for fandom. I genuinely hate how having an opinion on media is now considered a political act.
But is that the "culture war" or shills using a culture war as a deflection to terrible products and HAMFISTED messaging? All media has messaging but there is subtlety.
There's a guy who worked at Disney that actually deleted every Star Wars video on his channel that was critical of The Acolyte recently. I don't know why he did it, but something he said that was interesting was that when Trump was elected a high-ranking member of Lucasfilm announced "We need to use our influence to ensure that what happened now will never happen again," which was followed by the rest of Lucasfilm cheering. So, I guess all of this was because they have been trying to desperately convince the majority of people that Trump is bad because they blame themselves for Trump being elected. Grow the f*ck up, Lucasfilm, and stop ruining my space wizard franchise.
Paid $4.05 billion to get the boy/male demographic and immediately kicked them out. Then they ignored/disavowed the girl/female fans (made up 40%), claiming they never existed *before* the Force was made female. 12 friggin' years of this crap. 🤦♂
I suspect that they are making money on the million videos hating on them so they are hate farming with Star wars and its going extremely well. They probably made 100x their money on acolyte hate views outside of Disney plus. 😂😂😂
Feminists themselves love the witch and occult imagery because it goes against values asociated with a traditional Christian society which they would call patriarchal.
My answer would be this is not the first time "force witches" are part of Star Wars. The original were the Witches of Dathomir in the 1994 novel The Courtship of Princess Leia. They were a human tribal matriarchal society that the Skywalkers eventually help against the evil Nightsisters. Later in Clone Wars, and thus current canon, the Nightsisters of Dathomir would become Zabrak and is where Sith such as Asajj Ventress and Darth Maul hail from.
@@Grandleon SW was matriarcal but with good plots and good building characters. I'm reading actually The courship of Princess Leia, You forget the love interest of Leia (the Prince) who also live in a matriarcal planet. it's far away much better. That's all.
Lucasfilms culture is too far gone and it’s so sad! I know Amandla and Sharmeens comments were taken out of context, but when put into context of modern Lucasfilm, KK, and LH, it shows who they are and they want to make
@@Theworthlessopinion their statements are not out of context, that was hopeful thinking and cope. Yes they said it in the past during projects not related to Star Wars. But that's what they are and what they want to do. ANybody that had time to listen to many hours of cringe interviews was able to see "oh so the clips were right, they are actually like that".
If you think about it it's kind of fascinating. A billion dollar franchise being ruined by arguably one of the biggest corporations in existence. Alienating their fans and killing off any and all remaining loyalty. Wow. Just wow.
A metaphor I overuse is the titanic. Disney's handling of star wars is like deliberately steering into the iceberg, then doing a big loop to try and hit it again.
I remember when Jeremy Jahns used to excitedly review Star Wars while wearing a Star Wars cape/blanket wrapped around him... Fast forward 10 years later, he's drinking whiskey and comparing watching modern Star Wars as like going to a funeral. It makes me sad in a way. Disney absolutely did a number on Jeremy's love for Star Wars. 😕 Either way that tells you all you need to know about how much Star Wars absolutely sucks nowadays!
lol I see most people just enjoying the ridiculous stuff that we hear about each new episode. Is anybody even treating this as canon anymore? 😂 I think everyone wants it to blow itself up further with as many memey lines and breaks in lore that it can toss in.
And they still made him look just as old if not older than in the prequels. Im sure using any character of that race wouldve worked well enough as all theyre going for were member berries anyways. Also the whole thing with him being the one to say the sith havent been seen in 1000 years and then they stick him in this
@@dumdumer892 I'm just going to pretend this version of Mundi is actually Darth Vitiate in disguise here to erase Disney Star Wars and restore order. 😂 Also another thing because we're still in the Darth Bane rule of two Sith era, whoever the villain is can not be a Sith because and I could be wrong but that time the show is in, it's either Darth Tenebrous/Darth Plagius or Darth Plagius/Young Darth Sidious. Probably spelled some names wrong here. 😂
Do NOT watch the Acolyte even out of morbid curiosity. It is not worth your time. While it's a step up from Kenobi and Ahsoka(both were terrible in their own regards), the writing is so painfully inconsistent. An assassin who fights a Jedi in a public bar. Right... The series needs to hide behind its diversity to justify its awful writing. And while the folks going after it for that reason are annoying; it shouldn't deflect from it being a bad vanity project where it uses diversity as a shield and nothing authentic or organic. Arcane, Blue Eye Samurai and HOTD all do what the Acolyte does but better. Kennedy and her crowd can sniff their own farts till the cows come home but it doesn't change the fact they've produced a turd; no matter what color it is. Folks can like this series but don't argue it's good. That's an insult to the craft of writing.
Ahsoka was Filoni’s vanity project as well, it’s just become a platform for high budget fanfic, Ahsoka has quickly become the most important and powerful character in the franchise, replacing Luke’s Thrawn trilogy with an inferior facsimile, and TCW did the same thing with countless characters & concepts. But I’ve read fanfic or seen fan films that are infinitesimally more faithful to the lore than anything I’ve seen on Disney+ aside from Andor.
As a B l a c k dude, that loved Star Wars, this comment represents exactly how i feel. They used my people to cover a 💩 product. I don't know what's wrong with Disney, but it is offensive. The budget is just too big for the show to be this bad. Headland and co obviously embezzling money.
I think Disney content overall is being labeled non canon after this show and the last few’s struggles. There were glimmers of hope with mando, andor, and animation but overall they make unenjoyable Star Wars for no one
My decision on watching this whole new Star Wars from sidelines (haven't watched anything yet) and beying dead set on treating it as non canon is quite paying off now *vicious giggling*
Man they had me so hooked at the end of Mando 2 and its basically been a straight drop since then. This Acolyte show seems to get dumber each week. This week they had Ki adi Mundi 40 years before he was born but was an old man still somehow,even worse they use him as hes the one who states the sith havent been seen for 1000 years but i guess he just forgot lol. Fucking clone wars had gervious and anakin avoid each other for 7 seasons to keep the lore and these people just break it for memberberries,im sure they couldve used another conehead and it wouldve worked just fine
If you have to watch garbage like the Acolyte I suggest to watch through Disparu's breakdown videos, he adds clowning to keep you sane and awake through this madness.
The only thing I disagree with is his continued, repeated assertion that OG Star Wars values are "masculine values." He mentions it at least once in every single review. I dunno, they're kind of universal values, no? JesterBelle would probably agree ... I've thought of dropping her name in his comments in case any of his audience doesn't know about this channel, but didn't want to send any actual womanhaters to her.
@@joywagner979 what's wrong with "masculine values", and why having them is "womanhating"? Star Wars is a mostly male-oriented franchise according to pretty much all data ever (even Acolyte has a 75% male audience), guess why that is
The fact that they added ki -an -di Mundi in this show considering that he wasn’t born yet, and basically making him a traitor of the Jedi council before Anakin is chef kiss.
then just watch the old movies and forget about this crappy disney stuff. but easy for me to say i stopped watching star wars after the first sequel. i am sorry you had to see that disney stuff.
@@mizzypink8 I know, I love Ahsoka in the animated series, but the live action ruined her completely, they made her so boring and removed any traits of her personality. Another actress potential being wasted, Rosario Dawson was amazing in Daredevil.
Don’t watch the acolyte. Don’t do it. Aliens review! Aliens are coming out. Let’s stop talking about the acolyte and start getting ready for something that might be good.
The Acolyte is the left-leaning equivalent of Battlefield Earth (2000). It's an absolute disaster that reveals more about its creators, than it does about its characters. The epitome of a terrible vanity project
Do you remember when ghostbusters (2016) ? I remeber what the angry video game nerd said: I WONT REVIEW IT, I WONT WATCH IT. I think time has proven him right on doing so. Just DONT WATCH IT As audience we speak with our numbers and our wallets. I know ill probably watch another mandalorian Season, and even a boba fett or kenobi season, but im done with this attitude from disney+ of blaming the audience for not liking something that was not done for them in the first place.
Disney's business plan since 2016: 1) Buy beloved property with established, passionate fanbase. 2) Take a massive, steaming dump on said property. 3) Gaslight and belittle anyone who has a problem with the steaming dump you left on said beloved property. 4) Lose millions. 5) Repeat steps 1-4 6)... Profit?
If Disney ever stopped making Star Wars content the excuse will be that it’s the fan’s fault for being too toxic. It’s always better to blame the fans; instead of admitting that the show was bad. Which is why Disney has made nothing but trash for the last four years.
I’m avoiding Acolyte altogether,l’m currently watching Andor for the first time and I’m really enjoying it so far,l’m praying that Kennedy’s contract doesn’t get renewed,she and her minions need to be jettisoned into space metaphorically 😅
It's not like they aren't still attacking fans of real Star Wars for not liking Disney Star Wars. They don't have any other defense other than blaming men. The people in charge of Star Wars don't understand that you can have an objective appreciation of something without forming a permanent social attachment to it. They think the audience can't have a legitimate reason to dislike it because all that matters is the Star Wars brand name.
This is no longer about just entertainment anymore, this is a serious fundamental problem within the movie industry. I’d we don’t show our discontent now then when. If you go to a restaurant and every time they serve you garbage or mediocre food then wither you stop eating there or demand change.
No don't watch the Acolyte. You said it best... we will not be able to move on with good Star Wars content until either everyone and LucasFilm is fired OR it is sold to an entity that wants to profit from it.
Erik Kain, the author of that forbes article, has my full respect for being candid with his opinions. He was the guy that when Rings of Power was happening wrote the article saying that Halbrand being Sauron would be incredibly stupid writing, lo and behold he was correct to all our chagrin. But in his RUclips channel he complimented that show whenever he could and a few people actually got mad at him, that he wasn't more angry. I do understand why people get mad when they feel like their beloved shows are being butchered, I will criticize the writing of a show until next Tuesday if need be but I don't have the right to judge anyone because of their opinion.
I don't believe Disney can change. with how many times they've come to the precipice of being almost self aware, skillfully dodged acknowledged the actual issues and then promptly doubling, tripling or even quadrupling down on those issues... it's abusive gaslighting relationship levels of nonsense. Which is disappointingly commonplace in the entertainment industry these days.
I think they can change, the problem is that they WON’T. They are spiteful, mean spirited and intentionally destructive. Such arrogance, such incompetence. All the while masquerading as being progressive and inclusive. They’re the worst.
So, criticizing something that was poorly made, without any soul in it is now "hating" and leaving overly positive reviews that are clearly paid for are "unbiased journalism"? This is just turning into apathy, we are now in the stage of still making fun of it because deep down we still care, in few years it will turn into a complete apathy. No one will talk about it, not even for making fun of it. I am not particular fan of Star Wars, but I went through this with Marvel and MCU. Don't remember when was the last time I even looked up if they made anything new.
Don't let them 'train' you. If you like it, watch it. If you don't, then don't. If you don't exercise your freedom, you'll lose it one step at the time
12:05 I think it's definitely fair to say that online backlash doesn't really reflect the reception of most general audiences who make up the bulk of any given viewership. There's a silent majority that generally don't spend much time on social media and don't form very strong critical opinions about the media they watch. But I think that's why making media that meets the standards of the more vocal and opinionated online fanbase is so important - if most viewers are undiscerning audiences that are generally going to enjoy whatever you put in front of them, you might as well make something that meets the critical threshold too, especially since the online fans are most likely to post ratings and reviews that could either invite or repel new viewers.
@@marcogenovesi8570I get that! And I appreciate your comment. But I wonder if it’s been abandoned enough? The games? The cosplay industry? The parks? Etc? Like seriously I wonder what it takes to see change
@@Theworthlessopinion Star Wars franchise has yet to make the 4 billions that were spended to buy it. They are not making money. The issue is that this is Disney, a megacorp that has been losing 2-3 billions per quarter for many years on Disney+ streaming service so they have a lot of money to burn. They are eventually going to run out, but it will take many more years still.
Before i had kids i wanted to get them into star wars. Now with a 4 and 7 year old. What i tell them is that disney sucks they are a corporate entertainment monopoly. And i explain to them how monopolies are bad and give them examples of ticket master and Boeing and corporate greed and performative goodwill that corporations use to deflect scrutiny and deflect criticism.
It's funny how you can't have an opinion of your own on social media platforms. For example, the majority of people who have watched The Acolyte happen to agree the TV show has bad writing but Disney and it's supporters spin it by saying: oh you are racist, misogynist or intolerant when in reality bad written characters and story are just that. Full stop
Star Wars fans can unite and complain to their hearts' content, but it doesn't matter. Disney wrote off the existing fan base as the "old" generation. Kathleen Kennedy explicitly said such at the construction of Galaxys Edge. It's naivete to think Star Wars will change or that fan opinions matter. The franchise is dead and gone.
The fact that so many articles are saying the show's low reviews are because of reviewbombing is absolutely hilarious. They cannot accept they fucked up hard
I will say all the discourse about this show is far more compelling than the show itself. I'm watching it, I don't like it, but I feel like if I'm going to criticize it, I should watch it. My gripes are with the writing, the acting, the shoddy visuals, and (in my opinion) Headland using this show (and 180 million dollars) to work out her own issues. Alot of directors/writers do this; that's what art can be used for. However, when all facets of the show are very badly done, all that's left is a poorly paced therapy session with Star Wars slapped on the title. And I think that's what bothers a majority of the fans. I think Disney has done an overall poor job of carrying on the legacy of this IP, and it has nothing to do with gender, race, sexuality, or any other social issues. It's very simple, the good stuff rises to the top, everything else is just noise.
Andor is really the only good Disney Star Wars since the first season of Mando. The only way I see that could save Star Wars is to let the Andor show runners run the entire franchise after season two.
The funny thing about the meme chant is that it’s only stupid because it’s in English. They could’ve been speaking in pure gibberish and no one would’ve reacted this strongly if the subtitles just said “chanting.” Better yet, say they're speaking in ancient Sith and people would've called it great lore building.
Yeah, magical chanting in a language that your audience is almost guaranteed to speak is just lazy writing. I mean for f***s sake, you’re trying to sell this to an audience that grew up on JRR Tolkien inventing languages to make his world feel lived in, and JK Rowling using Latin because it felt mystical. Our taste is more refined than the trash you throw at us.
there is nothing different about the acolyte, you’re just now noticing what other people have noticed for years. In other words Disney Star Wars was obviously terrible to some people from the beginning, and now its gotten so bad, it’s obviously terrible to normies.
If they did a Mando movie right after season 2 ended it wouldve been fucking huge but now I wouldnt even consider it and im one of the biggest Mando fans out there if ya ignore season 3
Andor is potentially the best thing star wars since the early clone wars seasons. It was mature, stuck to lore, had amazingly written characters, and wonderful set pieces with minimal cgi or other fake effects. Star Wars the acolyte is the opposite in nearly every aspect but mainly sticking to the lore and character writing. And the shills at wookieepedia are actively changing the lore on their servers to cover up a Disney mistake in episode 4. Also to note, I think Hayden’s acting in the prequels was amazing for anakin. He was playing a young adult who was trained from a young age to never feel or explore his emotions so when he was faced with extremes he didn’t know how to handle them internally so he acted externally. I think the best contrast to this is obi wan in the prequels. He has a grasp on his emotions for his extra Jedi relationships and own moral compass and as much as he tried to teach this to anakin he saw how he dealt with things himself and because of his internalized struggles he taught anakin wrong. TLDR anakin in the prequels is wonderfully written and expertly acted
I feel bad for Andor, I feel there's been so much crap from Disney Star Wars that it gets forgotten about when it's the single best bit of Star Wars content since the original trilogy.
Andor, mandalorian s1,2. Those are the only seasons of Disney plus that a major praised, yes even if people didn’t like andor cause it was boring, the positivity outweighed it, then we got obiwan, bobf, Ahsoka, mando s3, and acolyte. We got 5/8 seasons of Star Wars on Disney plus that a majority hated overall. That’s not good bruh.
Holiday Special is so morbidly fascinating that you can’t look away. The only scene like that was the chanting, so they’d have to do something that baffling in every episode.
What does "mainstream" even mean? I guess it means those you agree with? Because if you were honest, you would include Nerdrotic, DDayCobra, Ryan Kinel etc as the mainstream. They too are Star Wars fans, but apparently because they also criticise Disney SW on a more ideological level (the Acolyte is proof of ideology coming first before character, plot and writing) they don't count. Even though they all make the exact same points as all these Reddit posts do. Funny how that works, isn't it.
DO NOT watch Acolyte. Let it die. If you get curious about it's content maybe watch SW THEORY or EckhartsLadder Episode reviews. That way you can see the content free, get honest reviews from SW lore masters and enjoy the video of a fellow podcaster, in the same way I came here today and watched two of your videos. #giveuslegends
Disney’s acquisition of Star Wars hasn’t just been a slow motion 10 year car wreck, it’s been a slow motion 10 year 150 car pileup, that’s still happening
Just goes to show, doesn’t matter what fan we are. The sad truth is that not all fanboys and fangirls are nice people. Unfortunately, Star Wars has the most toxic fans. I won’t be watching The Acolytes due to negative backlash it received. Even they had that Korean guy from Squid Game in this new Star Wars series, that doesn’t mean anything. Good thing I moved on to watch Jurassic World: Chaos Theory, The Boys season 4, and House of the Dragon season 2.
Just a note. They may say 40 minutes (for an episode). But around 10 minutes is Disney Star Wars Logo, Intro from last weak and Credits (the credits are rediculously long) with no after credit scenes. So each episode is more like 25 to 30 minutes. Its actually funny how they try do DRAG each episode length out with the Credits (at least 4-5 minutes). Many have said the same, when the credits roll, many look how much more there is left of the Episode (because it ends so abruptly, but feels like dubbel the length), and there is still like 10% at least, so many wait or fast forward to look for after credit scenes, but nope. Nothing. But on the other hand. Only watch it if you want to se the disaster for your self, like an actuall study in crime/how not to, or to get your "real" personal opinion (based on experience). But it is like seeing someone eating bad food and start vomiting, and you are wondering "Is it realy that bad?", and you are curious. And test it your self... On the other hand, there are still 4 episodes left so, It MAY have hidden resolves. But probably not. IMHO, this isnt realy worse then Book of Boba Fett, or Kenobi, or Mando Season 3+ or Ahsoka. It is around the same (bad). But as there are no legacy characters in it (except Mundi from the prequels, that was retconned into it), there are no emotional hooks like Boba Fett, Kenobi, Luke, Leia, Darth Vader or Ahsoka etc. So no one likes it. If you try to look at it from a distance, I still think Book of Boba Fett is worse. But this ads nothing other then cringe, anger and confusion. Cheers.
5:22 Okay i don't trust anyone saying they are unbiased as one my fav youtubers doctor mick says. No one is unbiased it's about being able to control your biases.
welcome back all the ppl im out since disney took over o/ saw what they are doing since the force awakens when all the ppl blindly followed disney star wars and now you all see what i saw back then
From the premiere there is one thing that is really obvious, if there was no antagonization between LF and the fans - direct and indirect... the show could be nice. I needed some story with new Jedi ... but what I get are only signs that the showrunners have only the surface understanding of Star Wars and Sci-Fi as a whole. Lets be honest ... the LF film attacks started with the beginning, saying thing stat it was obvious it would anger the fans ... who needed it. Even if I defend their point of view to promote this and that ... now many people would change their mind on the matter because of this show ... exactly nobody.
I still wonder who thought that it would be a good idea to actually air this show to a public audience. The damage being dealt to Disney and the IP right now is most likely a lot higher than the production costs. This is insanity.
Disney certainly has a bad track record when it comes to star wars. With stars wars it seems they don't know what to do with that brand. They may had some hits with stars wars but they had a lot of misses lots and lots of misses.
I'm going to watch "The Acolyte". You've convinced me. I've got a feeling that the part of myself that loves quality cinema is going to feel like it's dying inside while I watch it... but I bet that the part of me that LOVES making fun of bad TV and movies is going to freaking LOVE hate-watching it! IF you do decide to watch it (I leave it to you): watch with your sister, but go into it knowing that you're watching something worse than "Battlefield: Earth" or "Manos: The Hands of Fate" and watch it in that vein: preparing yourself to mock it mercilessly and to toss popcorn at the screen whenever a character you hate appears.
Ehh, Headland has nothing to do with that, and the games Lucasfilm has put out under Disney have been really the only good thing to come out of this whole pile of slop

They needed to mess up one of the biggest franchises to get the message through. Now everyone in ubderstanding the importance of respecting the lore.

Disney’s handling of SW is BIZARRE, they DESTROYED a massive IP with a massive goodwilling fanbase. Damn!
There's a guy who worked at Disney that actually deleted every Star Wars video on his channel that was critical of The Acolyte recently.

Goodwilling? Lucas only sold it because he was tired of being shat upon for the prequels.
Why aren't feminists losing it over Star Wars' decision to have "force witches" ? My god. We went from General Leia to Witches.
Feminists themselves love the witch and occult imagery because it goes against values asociated with a traditional Christian society which they would call patriarchal.
Because they are witches, themselves!
Women like Mon Mothma and Leia had the true power (politics). Now, women play with weapons like young guys and are witches.
My answer would be this is not the first time "force witches" are part of Star Wars. The original were the Witches of Dathomir in the 1994 novel The Courtship of Princess Leia. They were a human tribal matriarchal society that the Skywalkers eventually help against the evil Nightsisters.

A metaphor I overuse is the titanic. Disney's handling of star wars is like deliberately steering into the iceberg, then doing a big loop to try and hit it again.
*4 billion dollars
It's what Lucas tried to avoid for so many years... truly sad and insane haha
I remember when Jeremy Jahns used to excitedly review Star Wars while wearing a Star Wars cape/blanket wrapped around him... Fast forward 10 years later, he's drinking whiskey and comparing watching modern Star Wars as like going to a funeral. It makes me sad in a way. Disney absolutely did a number on Jeremy's love for Star Wars. 😕 Either way that tells you all you need to know about how much Star Wars absolutely sucks nowadays!
Funniest part is bringing back Ki Adi Mundi.........The show is set before he was even born.😂💀
lol I see most people just enjoying the ridiculous stuff that we hear about each new episode. Is anybody even treating this as canon anymore? 😂 I think everyone wants it to blow itself up further with as many memey lines and breaks in lore that it can toss in.
@@dumdumer892 I've got to say, I've never seen a show bring a character back in a time when they don't exist. That's a new one there.
And they still made him look just as old if not older than in the prequels. Im sure using any character of that race wouldve worked well enough as all theyre going for were member berries anyways. Also the whole thing with him being the one to say the sith havent been seen in 1000 years and then they stick him in this
@@ClassicHarleyQuinn Disney Star Wars is full of firsts just not in a good way 😂 I was shocked how bad the character writing got in Ahsoka.
@@dumdumer892 I'm just going to pretend this version of Mundi is actually Darth Vitiate in disguise here to erase Disney Star Wars and restore order. 😂
Also another thing because we're still in the Darth Bane rule of two Sith era, whoever the villain is can not be a Sith because and I could be wrong but that time the show is in, it's either Darth Tenebrous/Darth Plagius or Darth Plagius/Young Darth Sidious.
Probably spelled some names wrong here. 😂
Iger not using George’s treatments ruined everything. He’s simply not as good at this as he thinks he is
Do NOT watch the Acolyte even out of morbid curiosity. It is not worth your time. While it's a step up from Kenobi and Ahsoka(both were terrible in their own regards), the writing is so painfully inconsistent. An assassin who fights a Jedi in a public bar. Right... The series needs to hide behind its diversity to justify its awful writing. And while the folks going after it for that reason are annoying; it shouldn't deflect from it being a bad vanity project where it uses diversity as a shield and nothing authentic or organic. Arcane, Blue Eye Samurai and HOTD all do what the Acolyte does but better. Kennedy and her crowd can sniff their own farts till the cows come home but it doesn't change the fact they've produced a turd; no matter what color it is. Folks can like this series but don't argue it's good. That's an insult to the craft of writing.
Ahsoka was Filoni’s vanity project as well, it’s just become a platform for high budget fanfic, Ahsoka has quickly become the most important and powerful character in the franchise, replacing Luke’s Thrawn trilogy with an inferior facsimile, and TCW did the same thing with countless characters & concepts. But I’ve read fanfic or seen fan films that are infinitesimally more faithful to the lore than anything I’ve seen on Disney+ aside from Andor.
As a B l a c k dude, that loved Star Wars, this comment represents exactly how i feel. They used my people to cover a 💩 product. I don't know what's wrong with Disney, but it is offensive. The budget is just too big for the show to be this bad. Headland and co obviously embezzling money.
I think Disney content overall is being labeled non canon after this show and the last few’s struggles. There were glimmers of hope with mando, andor, and animation but overall they make unenjoyable Star Wars for no one
My decision on watching this whole new Star Wars from sidelines (haven't watched anything yet) and beying dead set on treating it as non canon is quite paying off now *vicious giggling*
Disney has finally made Star Wars into something for everyone... to hate.
Man they had me so hooked at the end of Mando 2 and its basically been a straight drop since then. This Acolyte show seems to get dumber each week. This week they had Ki adi Mundi 40 years before he was born but was an old man still somehow,even worse they use him as hes the one who states the sith havent been seen for 1000 years but i guess he just forgot lol. Fucking clone wars had gervious and anakin avoid each other for 7 seasons to keep the lore and these people just break it for memberberries,im sure they couldve used another conehead and it wouldve worked just fine
honestly, could have used a different antagonist to be mei’s “master”
People have finally caught up to how I’ve felt since The Last Jedi
If you have to watch garbage like the Acolyte I suggest to watch through Disparu's breakdown videos, he adds clowning to keep you sane and awake through this madness.
His videos on this trash are hilarious.
The only thing I disagree with is his continued, repeated assertion that OG Star Wars values are "masculine values."
He mentions it at least once in every single review.
I dunno, they're kind of universal values, no? JesterBelle would probably agree ...
I've thought of dropping her name in his comments in case any of his audience doesn't know about this channel, but didn't want to send any actual womanhaters to her.
@@joywagner979 what's wrong with "masculine values", and why having them is "womanhating"? Star Wars is a mostly male-oriented franchise according to pretty much all data ever (even Acolyte has a 75% male audience), guess why that is
Bro needs a good toothbrush
The fact that they added ki -an -di Mundi in this show considering that he wasn’t born yet, and basically making him a traitor of the Jedi council before Anakin is chef kiss.
I stopped watching anything Star Wars related after Kenobi, and I couldn’t even finish that. I love Obi Wan and they destroyed him.
then just watch the old movies and forget about this crappy disney stuff. but easy for me to say i stopped watching star wars after the first sequel. i am sorry you had to see that disney stuff.
💯 agreed, Obi Wan is one of my favourites and I was utterly disappointed in that show.
Ahsoka was the last straw for me I can’t even rewatch rebels 🤦🏾♀️
@@mizzypink8 I know, I love Ahsoka in the animated series, but the live action ruined her completely, they made her so boring and removed any traits of her personality. Another actress potential being wasted, Rosario Dawson was amazing in Daredevil.
I loved it when he blurted out « Leia » in front of the Stormtroopers like a dumbass 😅 /s
George Lucas: "Miss me yet?" Us: YES!
Don’t watch the acolyte. Don’t do it. Aliens review! Aliens are coming out. Let’s stop talking about the acolyte and start getting ready for something that might be good.
"No more Star Wars videos" is to JesterBell what "No more animated movies" is to Hayao Miazaki, and I am perfectly happy with that. 😂
You deserve the 19k subs, you deserve 100x times that! Good job girl.
JesterBell, I wouldn't wish "The Acolyte" on my worst enemy, let alone ask you to suffer. 😢
The Acolyte is the left-leaning equivalent of Battlefield Earth (2000). It's an absolute disaster that reveals more about its creators, than it does about its characters. The epitome of a terrible vanity project
Do you remember when ghostbusters (2016) ? I remeber what the angry video game nerd said: I WONT REVIEW IT, I WONT WATCH IT. I think time has proven him right on doing so. Just DONT WATCH IT
As audience we speak with our numbers and our wallets. I know ill probably watch another mandalorian Season, and even a boba fett or kenobi season, but im done with this attitude from disney+ of blaming the audience for not liking something that was not done for them in the first place.
Disney's business plan since 2016:
1) Buy beloved property with established, passionate fanbase.
2) Take a massive, steaming dump on said property.
3) Gaslight and belittle anyone who has a problem with the steaming dump you left on said beloved property.
4) Lose millions.
5) Repeat steps 1-4
6)... Profit?
If Disney ever stopped making Star Wars content the excuse will be that it’s the fan’s fault for being too toxic. It’s always better to blame the fans; instead of admitting that the show was bad. Which is why Disney has made nothing but trash for the last four years.
I’m avoiding Acolyte altogether,l’m currently watching Andor for the first time and I’m really enjoying it so far,l’m praying that Kennedy’s contract doesn’t get renewed,she and her minions need to be jettisoned into space metaphorically 😅
Good strategy. Andor is great, which just makes all the other dreck Disney is putting out all the more unforgivable.
It's not like they aren't still attacking fans of real Star Wars for not liking Disney Star Wars. They don't have any other defense other than blaming men. The people in charge of Star Wars don't understand that you can have an objective appreciation of something without forming a permanent social attachment to it. They think the audience can't have a legitimate reason to dislike it because all that matters is the Star Wars brand name.
This is no longer about just entertainment anymore, this is a serious fundamental problem within the movie industry. I’d we don’t show our discontent now then when. If you go to a restaurant and every time they serve you garbage or mediocre food then wither you stop eating there or demand change.
No don't watch the Acolyte. You said it best... we will not be able to move on with good Star Wars content until either everyone and LucasFilm is fired OR it is sold to an entity that wants to profit from it.
Agree. Im enjoying all the YT videos on it, but will not turn it on.
Now apply that to voting and the logic is sound
Erik Kain, the author of that forbes article, has my full respect for being candid with his opinions. He was the guy that when Rings of Power was happening wrote the article saying that Halbrand being Sauron would be incredibly stupid writing, lo and behold he was correct to all our chagrin. But in his RUclips channel he complimented that show whenever he could and a few people actually got mad at him, that he wasn't more angry. I do understand why people get mad when they feel like their beloved shows are being butchered, I will criticize the writing of a show until next Tuesday if need be but I don't have the right to judge anyone because of their opinion.
With Star Wars at this point, if it ain't animated, I'm not even wasting my time
Star Wars was dead on arrival when it was sold.
I don't believe Disney can change. with how many times they've come to the precipice of being almost self aware, skillfully dodged acknowledged the actual issues and then promptly doubling, tripling or even quadrupling down on those issues... it's abusive gaslighting relationship levels of nonsense. Which is disappointingly commonplace in the entertainment industry these days.
I think they can change, the problem is that they WON’T. They are spiteful, mean spirited and intentionally destructive.
Such arrogance, such incompetence. All the while masquerading as being progressive and inclusive. They’re the worst.
Didn't

So, criticizing something that was poorly made, without any soul in it is now "hating" and leaving overly positive reviews that are clearly paid for are "unbiased journalism"? This is just turning into apathy, we are now in the stage of still making fun of it because deep down we still care, in few years it will turn into a complete apathy. No one will talk about it, not even for making fun of it. I am not particular fan of Star Wars, but I went through this with Marvel and MCU. Don't remember when was the last time I even looked up if they made anything new.
Gotta keep watching The Acolyte 🤢🤮, ...if not people will think I'm toxic
sounds like toxic people
Yeah I'm in the same situation
Don't let them 'train' you.
If you like it, watch it. If you don't, then don't.
If you don't exercise your freedom, you'll lose it one step at the time
Gotta watch boring shows otherwise people think will think I'm a racist smh thanks Obama
Cancel your Disney+
I fear that hate watching Star wars shows will make Disney think we actually like it. If we want them to stop we should stop giving them attention 😂
Don't do it Jess! We don't want you to suffer!! Avoid the Acolyte at all costs 😭🙏
12:05 I think it's definitely fair to say that online backlash doesn't really reflect the reception of most general audiences who make up the bulk of any given viewership. There's a silent majority that generally don't spend much time on social media and don't form very strong critical opinions about the media they watch. But I think that's why making media that meets the standards of the more vocal and opinionated online fanbase is so important - if most viewers are undiscerning audiences that are generally going to enjoy whatever you put in front of them, you might as well make something that meets the critical threshold too, especially since the online fans are most likely to post ratings and reviews that could either invite or repel new viewers.
Finally!!! Now let’s stop buying the merch, games, clothes, etc and force some change!
FYI people have stopped doing that 10 years ago. There are enough SW action figures and other merch that is on clearence to fill cargo ships
@@marcogenovesi8570I get that! And I appreciate your comment. But I wonder if it’s been abandoned enough? The games? The cosplay industry? The parks? Etc? Like seriously I wonder what it takes to see change
@@synical13 that’s true of the toys but Lego? Coffee mugs? Keychains? Clothing?
@@Theworthlessopinion Star Wars franchise has yet to make the 4 billions that were spended to buy it. They are not making money. The issue is that this is Disney, a megacorp that has been losing 2-3 billions per quarter for many years on Disney+ streaming service so they have a lot of money to burn.
They are eventually going to run out, but it will take many more years still.
@@marcogenovesi8570 that’s kind of been my worry. I mean all the more reason for it to be not in my life
Meanwhile, Godzilla is thriving and won His first Oscar ☝🏼☝🏼☝🏼. Thank you Toho. Thank you Minus One
Before i had kids i wanted to get them into star wars. Now with a 4 and 7 year old. What i tell them is that disney sucks they are a corporate entertainment monopoly. And i explain to them how monopolies are bad and give them examples of ticket master and Boeing and corporate greed and performative goodwill that corporations use to deflect scrutiny and deflect criticism.
That’s literally all Disney is good for anymore, just another reminder why the Sherman Antitrust Act was a good idea.
It's not high view for Disney Plus, only 4.5 million views WORLDWIDE. Usually it's 20 millions views in USA, and 60 to 80 million views worldwide.
It's funny how you can't have an opinion of your own on social media platforms. For example, the majority of people who have watched The Acolyte happen to agree the TV show has bad writing but Disney and it's supporters spin it by saying: oh you are racist, misogynist or intolerant when in reality bad written characters and story are just that. Full stop
Star Wars fans can unite and complain to their hearts' content, but it doesn't matter.
Disney wrote off the existing fan base as the "old" generation. Kathleen Kennedy explicitly said such at the construction of Galaxys Edge.
It's naivete to think Star Wars will change or that fan opinions matter. The franchise is dead and gone.
Well then I guess Disney gets to burn in bankruptcy, since no one's buying the merch anymore.
Disney is throwing money away on every project, I have a feeling something is actually happening.
I dont consider anything Disney has done with SW canon. Its just expensive fanfic
You're right. However, what about Rogue One?
I can’t say that I’m willing to reject all of it as canon, but the list of Disney Wars IP that I’m willing to accept as canon is abysmally short.
Naw, it's not an overwhelming majority. The haters just use bots.
How Disney is telling themselves the results.
The fact that so many articles are saying the show's low reviews are because of reviewbombing is absolutely hilarious. They cannot accept they fucked up hard
I will say all the discourse about this show is far more compelling than the show itself. I'm watching it, I don't like it, but I feel like if I'm going to criticize it, I should watch it. My gripes are with the writing, the acting, the shoddy visuals, and (in my opinion) Headland using this show (and 180 million dollars) to work out her own issues. Alot of directors/writers do this; that's what art can be used for. However, when all facets of the show are very badly done, all that's left is a poorly paced therapy session with Star Wars slapped on the title. And I think that's what bothers a majority of the fans. I think Disney has done an overall poor job of carrying on the legacy of this IP, and it has nothing to do with gender, race, sexuality, or any other social issues. It's very simple, the good stuff rises to the top, everything else is just noise.
i can appreciate and agree with that "ignoring all the woke/anti-woke stuff, this is poorly written, poorly acted ..etc etc " comment ... exactly
Andor is really the only good Disney Star Wars since the first season of Mando.
The only way I see that could save Star Wars is to let the Andor show runners run the entire franchise after season two.
I'm wondering if the Acolyte will be removed from D+ like they did with the Willow series. ::fingers crossed::
So all the writers, the show runner, most of the actors and most of the behind the scenes people need sacking? I agree.
The funny thing about the meme chant is that it’s only stupid because it’s in English. They could’ve been speaking in pure gibberish and no one would’ve reacted this strongly if the subtitles just said “chanting.” Better yet, say they're speaking in ancient Sith and people would've called it great lore building.
Yeah, magical chanting in a language that your audience is almost guaranteed to speak is just lazy writing. I mean for f***s sake, you’re trying to sell this to an audience that grew up on JRR Tolkien inventing languages to make his world feel lived in, and JK Rowling using Latin because it felt mystical. Our taste is more refined than the trash you throw at us.
The title is like music to my ears
( also because it rhymes 🤭)
there is nothing different about the acolyte, you’re just now noticing what other people have noticed for years. In other words Disney Star Wars was obviously terrible to some people from the beginning, and now its gotten so bad, it’s obviously terrible to normies.
That opening got me CACKLING. Great stuff 😂
Thanks for saying what many people think but cant put in these clear words.
It’s good to know that Rogue is on our side.
The Velma of Star Wars
If they did a Mando movie right after season 2 ended it wouldve been fucking huge but now I wouldnt even consider it and im one of the biggest Mando fans out there if ya ignore season 3
Andor is potentially the best thing star wars since the early clone wars seasons. It was mature, stuck to lore, had amazingly written characters, and wonderful set pieces with minimal cgi or other fake effects. Star Wars the acolyte is the opposite in nearly every aspect but mainly sticking to the lore and character writing. And the shills at wookieepedia are actively changing the lore on their servers to cover up a Disney mistake in episode 4.
Also to note, I think Hayden’s acting in the prequels was amazing for anakin. He was playing a young adult who was trained from a young age to never feel or explore his emotions so when he was faced with extremes he didn’t know how to handle them internally so he acted externally. I think the best contrast to this is obi wan in the prequels. He has a grasp on his emotions for his extra Jedi relationships and own moral compass and as much as he tried to teach this to anakin he saw how he dealt with things himself and because of his internalized struggles he taught anakin wrong. TLDR anakin in the prequels is wonderfully written and expertly acted
I reached apathy A LONG time ago.
I feel bad for Andor, I feel there's been so much crap from Disney Star Wars that it gets forgotten about when it's the single best bit of Star Wars content since the original trilogy.
Rogue One was great, but then KK fired Gareth Edwards...
Stay frosty & alert...the Powers That Be at RUclips are cracking down on anti-Acolyte videos.
I’m from a Star Wars family and w haven’t had Disney plus for almost a year
To think I was actually optimistic about the Disney buyout.
Earth nonsense has no business in Star wars!
Andor, mandalorian s1,2. Those are the only seasons of Disney plus that a major praised, yes even if people didn’t like andor cause it was boring, the positivity outweighed it, then we got obiwan, bobf, Ahsoka, mando s3, and acolyte. We got 5/8 seasons of Star Wars on Disney plus that a majority hated overall. That’s not good bruh.
Holiday Special is so morbidly fascinating that you can’t look away. The only scene like that was the chanting, so they’d have to do something that baffling in every episode.
It's just sooooo clear that Disney has no respect for the fundamentals of storytelling anymore.
Hell nah dont waste the time on it
"This is the way!"
" I got a bad feeling about this"
What does "mainstream" even mean? I guess it means those you agree with? Because if you were honest, you would include Nerdrotic, DDayCobra, Ryan Kinel etc as the mainstream. They too are Star Wars fans, but apparently because they also criticise Disney SW on a more ideological level (the Acolyte is proof of ideology coming first before character, plot and writing) they don't count. Even though they all make the exact same points as all these Reddit posts do. Funny how that works, isn't it.
What ideology are they promoting supposedly?
Andor and Rogue One are good properties. The rest are so so. But the writing for Acolyte is so bad.
DO NOT watch Acolyte. Let it die. If you get curious about it's content maybe watch SW THEORY or EckhartsLadder Episode reviews.
That way you can see the content free, get honest reviews from SW lore masters and enjoy the video of a fellow podcaster, in the same way I came here today and watched two of your videos.
#giveuslegends
Disney’s acquisition of Star Wars hasn’t just been a slow motion 10 year car wreck, it’s been a slow motion 10 year 150 car pileup, that’s still happening
You won't sit, you will nap! Because that's only way to get through the Acolyte.
Just goes to show, doesn’t matter what fan we are. The sad truth is that not all fanboys and fangirls are nice people. Unfortunately, Star Wars has the most toxic fans. I won’t be watching The Acolytes due to negative backlash it received. Even they had that Korean guy from Squid Game in this new Star Wars series, that doesn’t mean anything. Good thing I moved on to watch Jurassic World: Chaos Theory, The Boys season 4, and House of the Dragon season 2.
Just a note. They may say 40 minutes (for an episode). But around 10 minutes is Disney Star Wars Logo, Intro from last weak and Credits (the credits are rediculously long) with no after credit scenes. So each episode is more like 25 to 30 minutes. Its actually funny how they try do DRAG each episode length out with the Credits (at least 4-5 minutes). Many have said the same, when the credits roll, many look how much more there is left of the Episode (because it ends so abruptly, but feels like dubbel the length), and there is still like 10% at least, so many wait or fast forward to look for after credit scenes, but nope. Nothing.
But on the other hand. Only watch it if you want to se the disaster for your self, like an actuall study in crime/how not to, or to get your "real" personal opinion (based on experience). But it is like seeing someone eating bad food and start vomiting, and you are wondering "Is it realy that bad?", and you are curious. And test it your self... On the other hand, there are still 4 episodes left so, It MAY have hidden resolves. But probably not.
IMHO, this isnt realy worse then Book of Boba Fett, or Kenobi, or Mando Season 3+ or Ahsoka. It is around the same (bad). But as there are no legacy characters in it (except Mundi from the prequels, that was retconned into it), there are no emotional hooks like Boba Fett, Kenobi, Luke, Leia, Darth Vader or Ahsoka etc. So no one likes it. If you try to look at it from a distance, I still think Book of Boba Fett is worse. But this ads nothing other then cringe, anger and confusion.
Cheers.
Ahsoka was mind numbingly boring and all the acting was wooden AF. Ahsoka didn't even behave like clone wars Ahsoka.
I seriously dont have the Energy for that Shit anymore. I Go through the Expanded Universe and ignore the rest
Listen to Obi Wan. "Don't try it!"
They’re proudly showing off the 4.7/10 IMDB rating on my tv’s home screen, I don’t even have Disney+ anymore.
To me, Star Wars is just 6 movies
For me it's 1-6, plus Star Wars: Clone Wars 2003 and Rogue One
I am more disappointed with where society has gone. The Acolyte is not the disease, it's a symptom.
5:22 Okay i don't trust anyone saying they are unbiased as one my fav youtubers doctor mick says. No one is unbiased it's about being able to control your biases.
welcome back all the ppl im out since disney took over o/ saw what they are doing since the force awakens when all the ppl blindly followed disney star wars and now you all see what i saw back then
From the premiere there is one thing that is really obvious, if there was no antagonization between LF and the fans - direct and indirect... the show could be nice. I needed some story with new Jedi ... but what I get are only signs that the showrunners have only the surface understanding of Star Wars and Sci-Fi as a whole. Lets be honest ... the LF film attacks started with the beginning, saying thing stat it was obvious it would anger the fans ... who needed it. Even if I defend their point of view to promote this and that ... now many people would change their mind on the matter because of this show ... exactly nobody.
They won't learn anything from this. If anything they'll double down like they've done before.
I still wonder who thought that it would be a good idea to actually air this show to a public audience. The damage being dealt to Disney and the IP right now is most likely a lot higher than the production costs. This is insanity.
Disney certainly has a bad track record when it comes to star wars. With stars wars it seems they don't know what to do with that brand. They may had some hits with stars wars but they had a lot of misses lots and lots of misses.
Great video! Succinctly articulated points💯
Sometimes, hate's a better glue than love.
I'm going to watch "The Acolyte". You've convinced me.
I've got a feeling that the part of myself that loves quality cinema is going to feel like it's dying inside while I watch it... but I bet that the part of me that LOVES making fun of bad TV and movies is going to freaking LOVE hate-watching it!
IF you do decide to watch it (I leave it to you): watch with your sister, but go into it knowing that you're watching something worse than "Battlefield: Earth" or "Manos: The Hands of Fate" and watch it in that vein: preparing yourself to mock it mercilessly and to toss popcorn at the screen whenever a character you hate appears.
After this show I have no hope for the Kotor remake.
Ehh, Headland has nothing to do with that, and the games Lucasfilm has put out under Disney have been really the only good thing to come out of this whole pile of slop
