Great take . My wife and I went into this with open mind and we kept looking at each other every cringy moment like “are they serious? , what are we watching?” Lolol
Hi! Thank you for the compliment! And wow, you and I had the same experience watching the show. I was sitting there in disbelief that this is actually an official Star Wars show from Lucasfilm. And the show looks like it might actually get worse...
Also, thank you so much for watching my video and commenting! I really appreciate it! Thank you!
Here is the answer: Disney DONT´T hire professionals, they hire only ACTIVISTS. Period. Have a nice day.
You're absolutely right! They should be looking high and low for great filmmakers, writers, and artists. But instead, they take for granted their audience and assume throwing money at a show will make it good enough. And wow, they're not even close.
Thank you so much for watching my video and commenting! I really appreciate it! Thank you!
(Also, I went to your channel and it's really cool! Thank you for doing it!)
Profits don't matter in the culture war
Very well said. You're absolutely right. And now here we all are hoping they run out of money.
Thank you so much for watching and commenting, I really appreciate it! Thank you!
The sad thing is, even if you criticize it for that reason, they'll simply spin it that you're a bigot...
And we should not care in the slightest.
Very well said. You're absolutely right. It seems Star Wars fans are either being taken completely for granted or scolded for disliking the product after giving Lucasfilm money! I keep thinking, this can't continue forever. Something's gotta give!
And thank you so much for watching my video and commenting! I really appreciate it! Thank you!
@@BarbaraRay-m4r I think you've hit the bullseye. The public has to choose between rolling-over or stand-up against this nonsense. I think the feeling now is, people have given Lucasfilm a chance for long enough. Now we really want them to get their act together before we all lose complete faith in Star Wars.
Thank you so much for reading the comments and watching my video! I really appreciate it! Thank you!
@@1337Keith Thanks for the video! Let's see how this all unfolds, because I totally agree, this can't keep going on... At a certain point companies have to change something, since they are taking huge losses, both in movies/tv, but also in gaming
@@MickBenjamins Wow! Quick reply! Thank you!
And yes! You really have a great grasp of the situation. Way more than most people. At some point the money HAS to run out for these companies. At that point, they'll either change, or new companies will become trusted, popular, and grow to become dominant. And then finally we'll start getting some great quality media! I actually think it can happen quickly. I'm optimistic for the near future!
And thanks again! You're really cool! I'm glad my video got out to you!
Definitely not planning on watching it, but thanks to brave souls like yourself who endure it to let us know how bad of a bullet we dodged!
😂Haha! You don't know how RIGHT you are! (Or maybe you do!)
Also! Thank you so much for watching my video and commenting, I really appreciate it!
(And! I went to your channel, and wow! I love it! You're really cool!)
E1 & E2 were not bad, but E3 was poorly conceived, written, and acted. I’m grateful Disney cast no straight white men in the Acolyte. Our hands are clean. We had nothing to do with this screw-up.
Amen. Any man worth their cojones avoided it like the plague.
I absolutely agree. I watched Ep3 last night and, man oh man, it really is an all-new low for Star Wars. It's surreal to think that episode actually is official Star Wars. It is so crude.
And thank you so much for watching and commenting! I really appreciate it! Thank you!
@@dustysmoke4996 😂Haha, you're amazingly right, and I like your sense of humor. And thank you so much for reading the comments chain and watching my video! I really appreciate it!
Funny you should mention that. Someone else did: there's no white men in this thing, and you know what? I hadn't even noticed it. Because I don't give a crap about colors.
I do care about good writing. And oh boy this series has none of that. The first 2 episodes were already pretty bad.
@@kaasmeester5903 I love your comment! You're exactly correct! It's all about the craft of filmmaking and story. Ethnicity is irrelevant. The show should be a work of art.
And a hilarious word of warning... the first two episodes are GREAT in comparison to the third...
Thank you so much for watching my video and commenting! I really appreciate it! Thank you!
Are you kidding?
The wookie's death was left off-screen because they "didn't have the budget" for it.
Wow, really? That's crazy. Especially considering there are all kinds of needless CGI shots in the show. Man, oh man, The Acolyte is a mess beyond our worst expectations.
Thank you so much for watching and commenting! I really appreciate it! Thank you!
At the moment, there's a ton of out-of-work writers and directors, who are quite talented and proven. But, Kathleen Kennedy only hires mediocre talent, because she wants to push women into roles, they aren't equipped to handle. The fans don't care if 'Star Wars' has the "first woman director", or the "first LGBT showrunner", or the "first transgender-space witch". All true by the way. Fans just want the show to be GOOD. Something Disney doesn't care about. 😒😒😒
Amazing comment! You've hit the bullseye! I agree 100%! Fans just want the show to be a crafted work of entertainment and art!
Thank you so much for watching and commenting! It's amazingly reassuring to see there are people out there like you who understand! Thank you and best wishes!
This show is bad for the same reason most Christian movies are bad: The message has been given priority over the story. I have come to my own conclusion that "woke" does not mean simply to show diversity, but to embed anti-male and anti-white themes into the story.
As a counter-example of non-woke diversity, there is The Expanse which goes further than Disney dares to a primary non-white character who is a lesbian in a gay poly-amourous marriage...and she is an absolute fan favorite who has spawned her own spin-off game series. And she's not the only gay significant character in the story. Nor is she the only woman...in fact, by the end of the series, the two most undisputed powerful people in the solar system are women (one of them gay)...and the scene of them meeting was dramatically awesome. Most of the powerful characters are women, most of the irredeemable villains are male, and even the "bad" women get redemption arcs...but there is no fan backlash, because _good_ writing has organically put these women into those positions and there is no anti-white or anti-male message in the story.
The fact is that the male science fiction audience has _always_ been on the forward edge of gender and race progressiveness in each decade...but no audience is going to put up with being crapped on by content producers.
Wow! Oh my goodness, amazing comment!
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. And I agree 1000%!!! You're absolutely right! The craft of story and filmmaking holds incredible potential for communicating a message and emotion to the entire world. When used properly it actually innovates society. It's so tragic that modern Lucasfilm forgoes that opportunity and instead spits in the face of the fans who made Lucasfilm rich and successful. It makes no moral sense. I hope it ends as soon as possible.
Thank you so much for watching and commenting! You're a star! You've made my day! Thank you!
Before woke became a word, there were a lot of tasteful independent films that showed the hardships of LGGBT or racism. They were tasteful because they did not forget the human element. They weren't about splitting people into categories, but rather to allow regular normal people to be able to relate to their hardships as individuals. To do that, it requires sufficient character development, and those characters will be scrutinized as any other human regardless of their gender/race/other qualities.
The big issue now is that the ideology has become bigger than the human element. Instead of trying to unite all of us through empathy and compassion, it does the reverse and tries to demonize "cis white men" or "cishet" or other pejorative terms that describe qualities of normal people that are neither good or bad.
Wow! Amazing comment! Thank you for your insights. And I agree with you 100%. Woke motivated entertainment uses woke subject matter to the company's political satisfaction. It is often not even taking into consideration whether the people of a particular demographic are okay with being showcased as the downtrodden or as less-than. And, The Acolyte, seems to only be exaggerating that problem.
Thank you again so much for watching and commenting, I really appreciate it! You're awesome! Thank you!
You're missing the point. They do _not_ have minority's best interests at heart. Disney isn't buying and ruining competing IPs to push DEI; they're pushing DEI to ruin the competing IPs that they buy. They're *monopolists.*
ALL I have seen has been criticisms about the horrid nonsensical writing and wooden acting with a production value that doesn't seem to reflect the budget, but worse still is how dull it is. I kind of wish they'd have gone all in on the agenda and message, would be horrid, but something would happen. HoTD has a similar budget and produces hour long episodes at a significantly higher quality in all aspects of show development in my opinion. I find it so sad, I want to love new SW.
Great comment! I agree 100%! My hope is The Acolyte will serve as the final work of the current Lucasfilm leadership. And soon a new regime can return Star Wars to its former glory-and possibly beyond! That would be amazing!
And thank you so much for watching and commenting! I really appreciate it! Thank you!
Answer: They are incompetent.
Haha! Very well said. I agree. The sad part is, there's a whole world of talented people who would give anything to work on a Star Wars production, but they're not wanted. It can't last forever.
And thank you for watching my video and commenting! I really appreciate it! Thank you!
Nothing wrong with the directing of the scene "The power of many" ?? Keith, get over yourself.
😂Haha! I love your sense of humor! And I'd love to see you film a review!
Thank you so much for watching and commenting! It's really awesome of you! Thank you!
When you say that the first two episodes weren't that woke, you've just gotten used to all the propaganda over the last few years. Having no positive white male characters in a Star Wars show is not normal. That is very progressive.
I think we've got a near absence of positive characters in this one. Even the "good guys" are highlighting the problems that will lead to their downfall.
Oh, and two of the four main Jedi characters are white male actors. They did kill one off already, but it's looking like we'll continue seeing him through flashbacks throughout the show.
Great observation, at this point we've been hit with so many woke shows, we've lost a sense of relativity. It is actually quite shocking things could fall this far.
And thank you so much for commenting! I really appreciate it!
@@StealthyJim Yes, absolutely, it seems like the show, even at the foundational writing stage, had very little thought put into the actual craft of story. But rather, it was all about twisting Star Wars into a platform for social justice venting of themes which may have no spine of truth to them in the first place! It's pretty ridiculous at this point...
I really appreciate your insights! And thank you so much for watching my video and commenting! It's awesome of you! Thank you!
@@StealthyJim Who is the second one?
@@kirkdarling4120 The wookie. Of course, this doesn't mean anything as far as the character or story go. But it's strike against all the anti-woke nonsense when it comes to casting/hiring.
It does look like budget cuts everywhere, and I'm not trying to insult it
It is amazing how low-budget The Acolyte looks considering it's monumentally high-budget. It's hard to believe that Star Wars movies from the late 1970s look more cinematic than Star Wars now, and they use all the top equipment to make The Acolyte. I really hope they turn it around soon, but I don't they will...
And thank you so much for watching and commenting! I really appreciate it! thank you!
@1337Keith yeah it's supposed to be really expensive, it does look better than kenobi, I actually enjoyed them walking through the woods, I like it , it's not perfect, the Fandom is hating it hard
@@jonathandavis-po6js Yeah, I agree, and thanks for the quick reply!
It's hilarious, why did they spend all that money on these shows putting in a half effort, when they could have just taken all that money and leaned into making a great movie! It boggles the mind...
Thanks again for the quick reply!
@1337Keith yeah but even though they cut things they said in an interview they cut cut fight scenes for "perspective "
I think that means they're not wanting us to know everything yet, like they're hiding something, I actually wouldn't be surprised if they reveal all these jedi are actually sith , and the red lightsaber is the jedi, I know it sounds crazy but I wouldn't be surprised
@@jonathandavis-po6js Oh, for sure!
I'm going to watch the rest of the episodes as they come out, just because I'm a big Star Wars fan, and I need to see how big a mess this show really is. But I'm expecting some really horrendous woke nonsense at the end of the series. At this point, the entertainment for me with The Acolyte is witnessing how low this show can actually go. Unbelievable.
And thanks again for replying! You're so cool! Thank you!
IF it had been great, people might have overseen the WOKE part.
But it was obvious that the WOKE was aggressively destroying the writing quality. So yeah, it is super bad.
You're absolutely right, it seems the show was made with showcasing woke themes as its primary purpose, so the task of creating an aesthetic and entertaining work of art was an afterthought. It's really tragic. I hope The Acolyte marks the true end of this regime at Lucasfilm.
Thank you so much for watching and commenting! I really appreciate it! You have great insight!
ELLIOT YOU ARE ALIVE???
Haha! I don't know what this is referring to, but I really want to know! Please tell me!

@@lrlrgg3445 Wow! Thank you so much! And frankly, you, sir, are a gentleman!
And thank you so much for replying! I really appreciate it!
So far the episodes have been mediocre for what they are spending on each episode.
I absolutely agree! It's crazy how much money is being spent yet the show is completely uncinematic.
Also, thank you for commenting! I really appreciate it!
(And I went to your channel! You're really cool! I wish you the best of luck!)
So... money laundering.
@@NathanielHellerstein Excellent point! Because, having seen the show, that might HILARIOUSLY be the only reasonable explanation for why the show costs so much but looks so cheap!
And thanks for reading the comments and commenting again! It's really cool of you!
Sorry mate but everyone is saying that about this shitty show, find a new excuse to try to make content no one is doing to stand out.
Thanks for commenting! And I appreciate your feedback!
I actually hadn't seen the opinion I expressed in my video anywhere else. Certainly, no one was emphasizing it. I see lots of people talking about the show being woke. And pointing specifically to that as the problem. But my problem with the show is the poor craft. But that's just me.
Thanks again! I appreciate it!
...your hair...
😂Haha, sorry. No good?
(Either way, I appreciate you watching and commenting! Thank you!)
@1337Keith ... there's no excuse...for your hair...;)
@@cpi_productionscreatoxx6289 🤣Haha! I appreciate your feedback! And I'm actively working on improving that aspect of my videos. Thanks again!
@@1337Keith I'm just fooling around with you. You're a young guy. You keep doing your thing like you do. We all were young at one point in life...🤓
@@cpi_productionscreatoxx6289 That's extremely sweet, thank you!💖
What ratio does it take to keep you people happy? Will 7 males for each female be ok or do we have to revert all the way back to an entire galaxy of males and Princess Leia? I'm just curious.
Imagine being upset about diversity in a universe where half the characters on screen aren't even human...and are still being played by white actors/actresses.
Hi! Thank you for commenting! And you make an excellent point.
For me, the gender, personal life, and ethnicity of the actors is irrelevant. There are great performers of every shape and form, and they deserve a chance to show their talent. But these recent Star Wars productions have been so crude and devoid of anything cinematic. That is, in my opinion, the problem. Star Wars, to me, is meant to be an epic work of art. And the current stuff is thin, small, truthless, and artless.
Thank you so much for commenting and offering your opinion. It's really kind of you, and I appreciate it tremendously. Thank you!
millennial madness endless sequels with zero creativity,, the crash did happen in 2000 we are witnessing it now
Bullseye! Great point! It's true, I think everyone felt the subtle rumblings of this decades ago, but we're seeing the results now. Fortunately, I feel the rumblings of positive change now, so maybe the future is bright!
Thank you so much for watching and commenting! I really appreciate it! Best wishes!
@@1337Keith I watched Star trek from the 80s the cast was diverse with a strong male presence's as it would be in war .. the millennials need to flip everything that has already been created because thats all they know copy and paste and the millennials that have common sense are cancelled ,, I will never forget what a democrat friend told be one day he said there is no common sense you either know something or you do not hmmmmmmmmmm
@@bengordon7635 So true! It really is the modern adults that need take control of the modern voice and stop all fakers and scammers. And you democrat friend gives funny and awkward advice, we either know or we don't? Ha! Yes, and nearly everyone knows when we're being scammed. So, I'm with you!
Thank you so much for replying! I really appreciate it!
To me it seems like it's a deliberate marketing move. They stir up controversy for free publicity making people either hate watch it or make the ideologists watch it, because they want to support the message. People need to stop watching these shows altogether. Especially Star Wars, that franchise died with Episode 1 anyway...
Yeah, I think you're right. The public can reduce these companies to nothing by just simply avoiding and ignoring them. We can say, "no."
And thank you so much for watching and commenting, I really appreciate it! Thank you!
The privileged Amandla Stenberg has been out of pocket for a minute, thats why I chose not to watch it.
Yeah, it's interesting casting, putting it lightly. She seems to have little respect for Star Wars fans, which is not exactly great since she's starring in Star Wars!
I'm going to persevere and watch the rest, but I don't blame you for skipping this series!
Also, thank you so much for watching my video and commenting, I really appreciate it! Thank you!💖
I'm Glad i was born before the dark times b4 the Disney
You're absolutely right! It feels like the whole world now is hoping Disney can turn things around. We shall see if they do-or go out of business.
And thank you so much for commenting! I really appreciate it! Thank you!
Today, it seems some feel compelled to destroy anything they don't like. It's not enough to say 'meh, not for me' anymore. There has to be bashing, name calling, and hate. As a culture, we are doomed if we can't at least tolerate differences. If Disney wants to turn Jedi into ballerinas, then DON'T WATCH!
Excellent point, and well said. You're right, as they say, "vote with your wallet."
But The Acolyte is a little bit of a unique situation in that, the Star Wars fanbase, is probably the largest and most passionate in the world, so they naturally take an interest in any new works (nowadays with fingers crossed). But the tragedy is in the consistent failures by Lucasfilm and a glaring inability to learn from their, now world famous, mistakes. I actually think your point about not watching the show is the overarching result The Acolyte will deliver-extremely low viewership. As already it seems most fans watched the show's debut but have since lost interest. So, there we are!
Thank you so much for watching my video and commenting! I really appreciate it! Thank you!💖
Yes. Poor writing makes bad tv. My thoughts exactly!
Then there might be other points as well.
We're on the same page! Big time! I don't know how The Acolyte, even as an idea, got past all the levels of seniority at Lucasfilm! It really shows they're not interested in trying to make the show be a crafted piece of art and entertainment. I hope that changes as soon as possible.
Thank you so much for watching my video and commenting! I really appreciate it! Thank you!
do not worry. they do not have money printers and eventually money will dry out. and well that thing is poorly written and it is actually a big caricature of itself. It does not know what it wants to be end ends up being none of the things.
Neither something discussing problematic issues, nor just a funny action flick not even a parody of the original.
I really hope they run out of money soon! I want Lucasfilm to be devalued so much that someone can swoop in, buy it, then totally turn Star Wars around. That would be great.
And thank you so much for watching and commenting! It's really cool of you! Thank you!
"don't know what they are thinking...." you and me both brother !
Great minds think alike! And I really appreciate your support!
Also, thank you so much for watching and commenting! I'm glad my video got out to you!
Show is trash. The acting was horrific.
Very well said. You're absolutely right. The crudeness of the show is painful to watch.
Thank you so much for commenting! I really appreciate it! Thank you!
You're missing the point. Disney isn't buying and ruining competing IPs to push DEI; they're pushing DEI to ruin the competing IPs that they buy. They're monopolists.
Very well said. I appreciate your insight. And it really is beyond belief things have fallen this far. I only hope now Disney, or their backers, lose enough money that the push for DEI becomes a low priority. But at this point it seems nothing will make a swift end of this very modern woke attitude in entertainment.
Thank you so much for watching my video and commenting! You're write eloquently and I really appreciate the way you've articulated your thoughts. Thank you!

Thank you so much for the compliment! I really appreciate it!💖
(And thank you for watching my video and commenting! It's really kind of you!)
🤔 ANSWER: simple, it was Woke, it was Queer, it was Political! This show was 3yrs in the making! They CHANGED it multiple times & got hot garbage!
You're absolutely right! It really goes to show there was no amount of time and money the leadership at Lucasfilm could have had! They seem literally incapable of creating a fine piece of art and entertainment!
Thank you so much for watching and commenting! I really appreciate it! My best wishes to you!
People have to "force" it into the woke vs anti-woke dichotomy because they can't actually praise it based on its merit, they have to place the blame on their ideological enemies in order to defend it.
Sadly there's a significant amount of people who it works on. It's all psychological.
You have great insight, and you say it well. I really hope this war between sides that pervades so much of the modern attitude and public conversation, can end as soon as possible. And we can finally get back to hiring writers, artists, and filmmakers based on merit.
