Good video, and I agree with pretty much all of your positive and negative takeaways. I hope the initial backlash doesn't deter them to go forward with another season 🤞
bro they spent 20 mill for each episode totaling 180 million, if you want another season of this shit you fr need to get the Disney cub Otta your ass and re adjust your spine cuz noooo one is asking for another season lmaooo,
the saber fights were great. I think people would have liked it a lot more if they had made it a movie, instead of a slow-paced show. Same thing with Obi-wan. If it had been a movie, people would have liked that show a lot more too, imo.
special editions ruined Star Wars, the PT ruined Star Wars, the ST ruined Star Wars, the shows ruined Star Wars, a series will finally ruin Star Wars once and for all until a new series ruins Star Wars. This is what a certain section of the fan base sounds like.
The ST saved Star Wars. Fallen Order saved Star Wars. Mando saved Star Wars. The High Republic saved Star Wars. Kenobi saved Star Wars, Ahsoka saved Star Wars. This is what another section of the fan base sounds like.
Really nice to see someone giving this show a chance. I really liked it as well, definitely not flawless (the pacing especially felt like the season was written with either longer or more episodes in mind) but I’m really interested to see where the story is going. Makes me sad that so many Star Wars fans are so outrage-addicted that they aren’t willing to give anything new a chance.
bro what are you talking about they paid 180 million 20 mil per episode and you want more?? if you spend a blockbuster movie budget on a tv series each episode should be better then god zilla minus one, that was 19mil, no excuses for this, they broke cannon they ruined Mundi they made Yoda a bitch and brought plagus in for a cameo lmaoo, fr go watch nicoleadian, and what do you mean a chance bro Disney Star Wars has been shit and they ruined Luke they ruined Leah and Han Solo, so what are you saying give it a chance, just because your like that one ex gf who cant leave the abusive relation ship im glad your still here and eating the slop you lil biggie, also acolyte got a 14 on rotten tomatoes so im glad you liked something no body fucking finished lmaooo
Great break down, I'm old enough to remember when the prequel trilogy came out and the things people where saying about it (especially Jar Jar) and now most people look back on the prequels fondly. I think the same will happen with the most recent batch of Star Wars.
The prequel comparison doesn't really work because the George Lucas isn't involved in the Sequels. OT = Restrained Lucas PT = Unrestrained Lucas ST = No Lucas
@NW-sm8xq I know there are people who think that if Lucas didn't sell the rights to Disney then Star Wars would be in a better place, but unfortunately we will never know if they are right. The comparison I was making though was one of public perception and how it changes over time. Honestly if Lucas had retained the rights and made more live action movies/series, there would still be people hating on them.
Completely agree. Do you remember the absolute shit fit fans had about Midichlorians??? Jesus. You'd have been better off shooting their dog than releasing the "special editions". Star Wars fans have hated everything new since Episode 4 came out lmao
The difference here however is that it always appealed to children, the hard truth is that kids do not care about Star Wars anymore they like marvel and superhero’s instead.
@@doo1385 and @SirRocktober I would argue that the content of prequel trilogy criticism has more in common with sequel trilogy defense than sequel trilogy criticism. Most evident by the Sequels retelling much of the OT's story (with admittedly a few "twists" along the way).
you need to get checked for autism man there is a 26 year old osha trying to date a 14 year old Padawan, fr you need to get put on a list if you like this shit
Bigotry is not the problem here. This series had RnB music during the credits just because there is a black person starring in it. If anything the SHOW is racist. What happens to great music like the amazing John Williams scores. This franchise has got lazy. The amount of work that went into the originals, that's what made them amazing., Give us a likeable black character and we'd be all over it, but these twins flip flopped on their decisions from the very first episode. Twin 1 stays on crashing ship to surrender to the Jedi, somehow survives, then runs away from them. And it goes downhill from there. The thread thing made no sense at all. This show had no redeeming qualities.
That last point is so on point. People expect EVERYTHING to be a 5 star Michelin meal, and if it falls slightly short of those standards, it's a piece of junk that never should've been made. Edit: ITT troglodytes that can't comprehend the concept of subjectivity
Not true at all. People don't need 5* thing to live. They just want something normal and satisfy and this show is not one of those. Don't mistake BAD thing with short of standard unless you got low standard yourself. Pfft
Man, I’m so sick and tired of you people saying that this show isn’t so bad and we just need to lower our standards. This shit fucking sucked on all levels. People don’t need five stars to enjoy something OK we just don’t want shit.
Everything star wars created in the last decades was a steaming pile of shit. Mandatorily season 1 and andor saving themselves by the grace of God. And without a shadow of a doubt acolyte is the single worst piece of star wars media since it's inception.
To be honest, just wait 10 years and everyone is gonna look back and say "maybe it wasn't actually that bad" just like the Prequels. Ironically I feel like modern Star Wars fans would hate the original trilogy if they used the same logic they do today.
yeah I dont think people hated the storys in the prequels Its just the dialogue, the acolyte story is shit the dialogue is shit and the mystery is over by the first episode so fr idk if your a new fan or what but people didnt hate the prequels it was the critics
@@fieckfieckfieck are you dumb people hated the dialogue, what about the story the vfx the charter development. and it wasn't fans it was mostly critics, look up people coming out of the theater giving there opinions the fans loved it, then online and the media talked shit on it and then it bled down to some of the fake fans, but its okay to be wrong just do your research
Honestly glad to see someone who doesn't detest the shows mere existence, if it's bad so what? Because Star Wars is dead, the Empire Strikes back killed it! Star Wars is dead, Return of the Jedi killed it! Star Wars is dead! Jar Jar killed it! Star Wars is dead! The prequels killed it! STAR WARS IS DEAD AND THE LAST JEDI KILLED IT!!! STAR WARS IS DEAD AND THE SEQUELS KILLED IT!!!! If Star Wars was really dead then why does it keep coming back? Could it be that certain vocal minorities in the fandom hate everything for views? Because bad news always does sell better, also it's sad how any constructive criticism is going to be pushed aside as the voices scream louder and louder
No one will want to hear this but since a new hope there have been a tone of different stories in Star Wars with varying types of people and they were praised and loved. The issue with this era of star wars is the new people writing either dont know this or ignore this. Jena Solo and Mara Jade over Ray all day. Both Knights games were about the failings of the Jedi. They are trying to do things that have already been done and much better and when they were first hit with criticism they were called bigots. If the Acolyte was fine to some cool but with all the history it should have been great and easily so. P.S - Its shallow for anyone who has gone even a little outside of the movies could see.
Thing is few are critiquing The Acolyte for trying something different, it is the bad execution of interesting concepts, the lore breaking elements, and the show's extremely disconnection between theme and context that people are mad about.
@@kingorange7739 they did something different wasted 180 million dollars and you want us to praze them? also no they didnt do any thing different we have seen the Jedi depicted as corroupted so maybe your just a new starwasrs fan but your opinion is irelivent like lmaooo bro wtf are you talking about, stop being overly positive that shits gay asf
That statement is still completely accurate to everyone in the acolytes understanding of the world. The only people who know of Qimars existence believe he is a fallen Jedi.
@polarized3358 ah yes "fallen jedi" you mean the one who looks like every sith ever? And yes the sith mightve been exiting but the jedi knew very well what they acted like and how they fought. Stop defending this thoughtless garbage.
@@thesupreme8062 Fact is if you're going to criticize the story do so for things that make sense. Trying to push the narrative that The Acolyte breaks Episode 1 Canon statement that to the Jedi the Sith have been extinct for a millennia is just not true. Not a single Jedi alive that knows of Qimars existence thinks he's a Sith.
@@PolarizedxD and that Is part of the problem. There is no reason ehat so ever for any of them not to think they're a sith. This absolutely does break canon. Remember Yoda? The guy who could sense people dying on different planets? Now tell me do you think he couldn't sense all the Jewish getting slaughtered by him?
Hmm, the writing is that of a childish or teenager show, extremely predictable to a grown up but not for a 13yo. The targeting demographic was way off. I got bored really quick and rolled my eyes almost every 10 minutes. Found myself time skipping through episodes. Mediocre writing, so so acting from main protagonist with not enough chops to pull the twin act, and way too many directors for consistency of the way the tale was -presented. Yes there were a few things the show did right, the portrayal of the fall of the Jedi, making them human and somewhat more real. But its a poorly thought show and a symptom of mismanagement. Despite having some potential and some really good actors doing a phenomenal job the end product is not worth it. But I guess I cannot expect the level of greatness that was Andor out of every single SW show. And the High Republic books are just as mediocre as the Acolyte compared to something like the Old Republic era.
One thing - even fall of the jedi are portrayed poorly here. It's again about "grown up" people who were specially trained. They're best of best - spetsnaz/navy seals/green berets/etc - in whole galaxy. Just think about it! They could make a mistake, they could fail, but NOT like this.
got halfway through and heard the ki adi mundi stuff your pretty dumb "the sith haven't been seen for a millennium" doesn't make much sense to you does it?
"Captain the Titanic is sinking!!!" "Eh, it's fine. You're overreacting." Seriously, can we drop the whole " You're blowing things out of proportion thing?" This show sucks. It's awful. One of the worst pieces of television I have ever seen. Up there for TLJ and Kenobi as the worst piece of Star Wars ever. The plot is nonsense. The characters are terrible. And most importantly, the writers are morally bankrupt. That ending is disgusting and gross. It's an awful message to send to people. "Hey if you've fucked up in your life, end yourself! Or better yet let someone else do it for you!!" And no, I had no expectations going into this show positive or negative. No I don't hate everything. Disney Star Wars. Andor is the best thing since Empire. And Rogue One is tolerable. So don't try that terrible card. 2/10. Garbage worthless trash. Hope it never gets another season. If you think I'm being hyperbolic give me your best shot.
Fucking thank you I feel like I’m going fucking crazy with all these people. characters do dumb ass shit that don’t make sense and then they flip-flop whether they want to be good or evil. The Jedi act completely insane and just want to kidnap these kids for no reason, the Sith decide to risk everything and come out of hiding to kill Jedi and all the red cons I mean seriously now people are thinking that they’re going to recon Palpatine‘s age because they thought they heard him in the last episode
Nope not defending inconsistent writing killing off your father figure and turning to the dark side is not a triumph it a worse position to be in for anybody not unless they are the truly evil one. The logical thing a Sith would have done to have OSHA to kill Mae to complete her transformation to the Sith because love is a hindrance and weakness to the Sith it’s all about complete selfishness.

Thank you. I had a few things to critique about the Acolyte but nothing is perfect. Personally i found it REALLY refereshing that the Sith IS a threat since well, he can kill whom ever he wants! Overall i enjoyed the show and find it sad that a season two is heavily endagered by some uber-nerds and racists/bigots. Like, yes im mad about Rey Palpatine still but everything after that was mostly decent/good.
Thing is Acolyte really is only good in concept. Its execution, particularly in its writing is a mess and most of the criticisms are warranted. Especially with how bad the finale ended up being and the reveal of what happened to Osha and Mae as kids.
the whole point of the original 6 movies is to show Anakin being force Jesus essentially and saving everyone, then my girl Leslie just makes this dumb cult of witches able to do what it took 2 Sith lords to do and actually they do it better cause they made 2 force sensitives. this and billion other things just immediately put me off from this stuff. i liked the semi practical viceroy in the first episode though that was cool
It’s not just the fact that this show by itself is hot garbage, it’s the fact that for the last 10+ years we have only gotten mediocre to terrible films and shows, games and lore (Jedi fallen order and survivor were good tho).
This vid is nought but regurgitation of Disney's own long long debunked pr It's like the H.C. Andersen story 'The Emperor's New Clothes' from 1837 To break the spell of mass hysteria, there's no better tools than ridicule and the truth "It's such a quiet thing, to fall But far more terrible is to admit it" -- Darth Traya
I think The Acolyte is a great example of good intentions and a somewhat flawed execution, but still with mayor highlights throughout. And I'd really like to see how much they could improve in future seasons
All I've been saying is the writing and directing were the issues. Not a fan of vernestra's acting, which also seems like nepotism casting, but whatever she's minor. I agree with the totally average placement. Not great, not terrible. Worth a watch, but ready to move on.
*sigh* so you're gonna lead with the critics are -ist? Naw, this show generated outrage before it came out because creator interviews. I thought the idea had potential and the outrage bizarre at first, but then I started seeing interview clips. They're really bad. Calling fans gay and Star Wars misogynistic and making weird claims like there's no good and evil in Star Wars. I'm sure there are people who are racist/sexist out there, but if they're small in number, we need to stop centering them like a criticism shield. I tried to like this show because I like the idea of a mystery set in High Republic. I like identical twins and Manny. And there were a lot of ideas that could have worked well with better execution. But it was sloppy with it's own storytelling and with lore impact. Now, if The Last Jedi didn't end Star Wars then the Acolyte won't. But the continued pattern of trying to eat away at the moral core of Star Wars, disregard for established canon, and the serial killer approach Disney has to hero/likable characters is a major problem. Andor had good writing, but the same problem, it tried to show a rebellion as morally bankrupt as the Empire. Which undermines the entire point of the Rebellion. Acolyte aimed to do the same with the Jedi, undermining the morality of the Jedi Order to try to make Sith look like a viable choice. And completely undermining rather than clarifying how Jedi handle emotion or why Jedi empasize controlling emotion. Disney needs to get back to PG Star Wars that doesn't disregard its moral center. Diversity is not the problem. Star Wars has always been progressive for its time period in terms of diversity. But accusing everyone who doesn't like a show or film for writing reasons of being racist/sexist is a problem. If you see a specific example, sure call it out and pushback, but don't assign it as a motive when the criticism is not about race or gender. I'm a little suspect of Disney that they keep making their black female leads Sith or villains. That's starting to become a pattern, and probably what bothered me most about Acolyte.
We don't need Anakin story GOSHHHH. We need good and ok story not some trash to deliver maker agenda while don't care about lores. WHO want Anakin story? WHO want 5-star Michelin every day?
I would disagree. The show does do a lot of unrepairable damage towards the continuity of the films and while the concept certainly had potential, its execution was abhorrent.
@@kingorange7739 I don't think it does anything of note to the continuity of the films. I agree there were issues with execution, but I don't see it as doing any more damage to the franchise than, say, the Jedi Covenant in the KOTOR comic run.
@@jordanlima5974 Actually there is. Objective quality can be measured based on the standards created for what makes something good or bad. While there are certain criticism that would be purely subjective, discussing the actual text of the story and what elements do and don't hold up in relation to other sources is an objective analysis.
@@Wackaz The show was garbage but that doesn't mean you can't like trashy things...but when you try to tell others it is good because "you have high standards", it just makes you look stupid. The video even acknowledges it as "dumb fun". 😂

Overall i enjoyed the show and find it sad that a season two is heavily endagered by some uber-nerds and racists/bigots. Like, yes im mad about Rey Palpatine still but everything after that was mostly decent/good.
Thing is Acolyte really is only good in concept. Its execution, particularly in its writing is a mess and most of the criticisms are warranted. Especially with how bad the finale ended up being and the reveal of what happened to Osha and Mae as kids.
An opinion how dare you
the whole point of the original 6 movies is to show Anakin being force Jesus essentially and saving everyone, then my girl Leslie just makes this dumb cult of witches able to do what it took 2 Sith lords to do and actually they do it better cause they made 2 force sensitives. this and billion other things just immediately put me off from this stuff. i liked the semi practical viceroy in the first episode though that was cool
It’s not just the fact that this show by itself is hot garbage, it’s the fact that for the last 10+ years we have only gotten mediocre to terrible films and shows, games and lore (Jedi fallen order and survivor were good tho).
This vid is nought but regurgitation of Disney's own long long debunked pr
It's like the H.C. Andersen story 'The Emperor's New Clothes' from 1837

I think The Acolyte is a great example of good intentions and a somewhat flawed execution, but still with mayor highlights throughout. And I'd really like to see how much they could improve in future seasons
In some ways yes.
All I've been saying is the writing and directing were the issues. Not a fan of vernestra's acting, which also seems like nepotism casting, but whatever she's minor. I agree with the totally average placement. Not great, not terrible. Worth a watch, but ready to move on.
*sigh* so you're gonna lead with the critics are -ist? Naw, this show generated outrage before it came out because creator interviews.
I thought the idea had potential and the outrage bizarre at first, but then I started seeing interview clips. They're really bad. Calling fans gay and Star Wars misogynistic and making weird claims like there's no good and evil in Star Wars.
I'm sure there are people who are racist/sexist out there, but if they're small in number, we need to stop centering them like a criticism shield.
I tried to like this show because I like the idea of a mystery set in High Republic. I like identical twins and Manny. And there were a lot of ideas that could have worked well with better execution. But it was sloppy with it's own storytelling and with lore impact.
Now, if The Last Jedi didn't end Star Wars then the Acolyte won't. But the continued pattern of trying to eat away at the moral core of Star Wars, disregard for established canon, and the serial killer approach Disney has to hero/likable characters is a major problem. Andor had good writing, but the same problem, it tried to show a rebellion as morally bankrupt as the Empire. Which undermines the entire point of the Rebellion.
Acolyte aimed to do the same with the Jedi, undermining the morality of the Jedi Order to try to make Sith look like a viable choice. And completely undermining rather than clarifying how Jedi handle emotion or why Jedi empasize controlling emotion.
Disney needs to get back to PG Star Wars that doesn't disregard its moral center. Diversity is not the problem. Star Wars has always been progressive for its time period in terms of diversity. But accusing everyone who doesn't like a show or film for writing reasons of being racist/sexist is a problem.
If you see a specific example, sure call it out and pushback, but don't assign it as a motive when the criticism is not about race or gender.
I'm a little suspect of Disney that they keep making their black female leads Sith or villains. That's starting to become a pattern, and probably what bothered me most about Acolyte.
We don't need Anakin story GOSHHHH.
We need good and ok story not some trash to deliver maker agenda while don't care about lores.
WHO want Anakin story? WHO want 5-star Michelin every day?
Starwars is fine, Disney activist writer are not
BASED.
The Acolyte wasn't amazing, not gonna tell anyone it was. But it wasn't by any means a death knell or ruination of the franchise.
I would disagree. The show does do a lot of unrepairable damage towards the continuity of the films and while the concept certainly had potential, its execution was abhorrent.
@@kingorange7739 I don't think it does anything of note to the continuity of the films. I agree there were issues with execution, but I don't see it as doing any more damage to the franchise than, say, the Jedi Covenant in the KOTOR comic run.
No, it was objectively terrible on every metric, so the fan hate is not related to bigotry or not wanting to see diversity. Do not believe the shills.
You have to have a mental illness to say there are shills.
No piece of media is objectively bad, there's no objectivety when talking about media
@@jordanlima5974 Actually there is. Objective quality can be measured based on the standards created for what makes something good or bad. While there are certain criticism that would be purely subjective, discussing the actual text of the story and what elements do and don't hold up in relation to other sources is an objective analysis.
Thank you this guy doesn’t understand that characters flip-flopping isn’t some twist. It’s just shitty writing.
@@kingorange7739 well, the thread is dead, there is no season 2, the people have spoken - they simply had no interest in this dumpster fire.
Must be nice having low standards
L take
The reason I liked Acolyte so much was precisely BECAUSE I have high standards. Chew on that.
Must feel bad to always be wrong.
@@Wackaz The show was garbage but that doesn't mean you can't like trashy things...but when you try to tell others it is good because "you have high standards", it just makes you look stupid. The video even acknowledges it as "dumb fun". 😂
@@Wackazdid you enjoy your gift basket? 😂
