Cortosis armor and weapons disabling lightsabers has been canon since the 90's. Cad Bane uses Cortosis slugs to disable lightsabers in Clone Wars. (edit because I committed the sin of not checking wookieepedia first)
Nothing has been canon since the 80's besides the OT. Any and ALL material that isn't OT or PT or their novelizations is Legends. Cortosis' first CANON appearance since the Disney takeover was in 2014.
@@ReeseRizzerspoon Cortosis was canon in the 80s, it was canon in the 90's, it has been in all games and Disney had Cad Bane use Cortosis in Clone Wars. It was always canon.
This episode was pretty awesome but skyman you seemed to have made your mind up not to enjoy it :( It even had Jedi Shish Kebab. Also complaining about the trees but we forget the immortal handrail on the DeathStar 2
agreed at this point he just seems to be disliking it cause he dislikes it and nitpicking. i literally had no dog in this fight. if anything i went in expecting junk and have a very anti disney feeling. hated obiwan, hated parts of ahsoka, hated the sequels. master Sol carried it for me. episode 1-2 were decent. episode 3 was really really bad. episode 4 nothing happened. but this was actually decent (except the bad dialogue and delivery from the sith) and the choreography was really good.
@@mikemcmike6427 Choreography was bad. Eight fully trained jedi versus one no name, and seven out of the eight are destroyed. Terrible set up for a fight.
@@literarystorm6412 it literally wasn’t. I each person had a unique fighting style and it looked good. Okay and? In the prequels you had multiple jedis including masters just stand there while Palpatine mowed them down. You disliking he’s OP doesn’t make the choreography bad. If they have a decent explanation I’ll accept it
@@literarystorm6412 I’m not? Believe me I’m the biggest Disney critic: hated the sequels, hated obiwan, hated solo. I don’t judge a company on their morality if I do I wouldn’t be able to buy any food from any big corporation or watch any tv or movies: I’m just calling a spade a spade: master Sol carried this entire show. Episode 3 and 4 were horrendous and 5 was actually surprisingly good
people who say this guy cant be sith must not know Star Wars or sith lore very well. the sith have been in hiding for a thousand years, not extinct, which was made explicitly clear in the phantom menace. and then qimir even says that now that hes been exposed, everyone whos seen him has to die. this makes complete sense.
I agree. Qimir did a pretty good job killing off all the key witnesses. Now Sol is going to go back to the Jedi with a disguised Mae who will probably cause more problems for Sol and he and/or Mae will get blamed for what happened because he left the planet without recovering the bodies of the other Jedi. The council will probably ask why he left the planet in a hurry if the Sith was defeated or why he abandoned the planet to the Sith threat. Then they'll accuse him of killing the other Jedi because they only started dying when he brought Osha along with him. Then Mae disguised as Osha does something stupid and proves the council's point.
Yea I really have no issues with there being a Sith because they're hiding and also the show isn't over. If he kills everyone like he said he will then the problem is solved lol. I do wish they made the show around Sol learning about Qimir and hunting him down without OSHA and Mae being the leads. I just feel like their story is boring but Everytime I see Sol I want more.
I get the feeling that Qimir isn't actually Sith. He doesn't seem to have the power or knowledge of the force to come close to being actual Sith. Now that's from the very little we know about him so.. I'd argue he's an "acolyte" to a larger and better known Sith of the time, Plagueis. I just don't think that Qimir is the real big bad here pulling all the strings. This is all just a plot to confuse the Jedi about the real Sith return coming. The Jedi will just cover this situation up to save face in the galaxy and inch closer to their demise. Just my opinion.
This doesn't make complete sense. Ki Adi Mundi knows there is an apprentice being trained by a master who is going around killing Jedi. That has Sith written all over it. And we ALL know he isn't gonna die.
@@francissellerdudetrue but the problem is the “just swinging like crazy” complaint is so off and hypocritical since that is what mindless prequel haters say about the prequels this episode deserves its props as the best choreography in disney starwars so far and some of the best choreography in general for starwars
hating every aspect of this show, refusing to acknowledge (even if it's admittedly few) the things it does right is wild for a prequel fan. those who grew up in the prequel era should be the most open to new concepts as they watched the older generations shit on the prequels/the thing they liked. to see that cycle of blind hate and dismissal continue is so depressing. the writing on this show has been awful but to nitpick and hyper analyze/scrutinize everything else because of the writing is so shitty. so many "fans" have lost their way.
@@snarkyrogue118 yeah its annoying it does a lot right but the little things that it does wrong are really big and I understand that but having this nitpickey hate for it is just wild most of the damage to the show though is on the show runners and actors and the things they said before it even released idk why they couldnt just keep their mouths shut usually press pre release is to build hype for the show incase people might not know about it but this is starwars everyone already knows
Shocking? Yes. Emotional? Nope xD I couldn’t care less about those two and that’s a bad sign imo 😢 And it wouldn’t surprise me if jecki is standing up in an episode or two 😂
@@cookiefantasybauer2143 Okay I don't want to defend Disney but let's not pretend like the previous light saber stabs have been anywhere near as fatal as in that scene lol
As a die hard Star wars fan, I actually think the fights in this show have been more weighted and realistic than most of the prequel fights. Let’s put our nostalgic biases aside…the prequel duels are visually amazing, but they look so much like choreographed dances. I mean countless times in the fights people are not aiming to kill each other, it’s like they’re just doing flashy moves for the sake of being flashy. I think the duels here have been so much more weighted than the prequels, which are very twirly and flippy for the sake of being flashy. Still great fights, but even in the best fights like Anakin and Obi Wan, there’s moves that are absolutely ridiculously unrealistic. In this episode of the Acolyte, there was an intensity that it was constantly life or death and the moves were very well choreographed while keeping it grounded.
I’ve noticed that to. People praise duel of the fates like a masterwork of choreography, but there are so many instances of stuff that makes zero sense. It’s still a great fight tho.
Absolutely 100%! In the OT, Luke x Vader (both duels) were more about the internalization of the characters. It wasn't meant to be flashy and shit. In the prequels, the story was subbed to have better choreographed duels. Obi Wan x Qui Gon vs Maul...there's no emotion there. 0 words are said the whole fight. Compare that to Vader baiting Luke in ROTJ. "Twin sista! And forcing him to snap. That's what it's about. I think Acolyte did a great job combining both elements of story telling while having an entertaining duel.
Well, since so many people keep pointing out that Ki-Adi Mundis age aint canon, ... Dooku flying aint canon either, cause it came from the 2D animated Clone Wars, wich already wasnt canon pre Disney, lol!
@@NinjaChris77 I would like to point out Vader glides in both Star Wars Battlefront 2 OG and the EA game as his jump. Its been around awhile never seen a issue with it.
Force users gliding has been a thing In the clone wars animated show, in old games, in the newest games. Why are star wars "fans" complaining about it now? We're talking about a show with space monks with powers, come the fuck on
@@BighossssThis whole show is negative. Actually, Disney is entirely negative..over a decade they still aren't close to making a profit on this trash.
I actually did like that they spent more time on combat instead of weird chants and bad dialogue and acting. But I really wish they did not kill of Jecki. Killing off a wookie jedi off screen will never be forgivable.
Jecki's death was necessary... A sith doesnt spare. As palpatine said "There is NO mercy...". She was a good character, but she had to go to hammer the point of what a sith acts like.
According to hardcore prequel fans only Nick Gillard from the prequels can do lightsaber fights. It's bullcrap and I'm glad prequel fans don't run Star Wars or else we wouldn't get what probably is one of the best fights in all of Star Wars even if the show is bad.
@@CometStar100 Nah, there is definitely an aspect of this entire fight that makes it fall on it's face almost immediately. I could care less how these fights look compared to prequel or original trilogy fights. The Sith leaves so many openings for retaliation that it's amazing that he survived 1v8 (10?) There were some cool aspects like mixing the Force with lightsaber combat, but overall the choreography was clumsy. That being said, I always appreciate them introducing different sword fighting styles into Lightsaber combat and I definitely liked the hidden dagger aspect.
I've never seen a more forced "hate" in my life. You complaining about the "impact" of the sabers or the movement of the choreography, when its some of the best lightsaber fighting we've had since the prequels. It's just sad that you can't even enjoy the good, fun moments this episode offers.
If you want to see good duels, just type “lightsaber duel” on RUclips. The goal of a series is to bring interest and depth to the fights. A good lightsaber duel without a good story isn't worth much. In any case, it's difficult to be satisfied with a good point with so much mediocrity next to it.
There’s been 4 episodes of this show up until this point. People are allowed to have different opinions, I despise this show as well. I couldn’t agree with skymans reaction enough. This show is a disgrace
@@takura187there’s not liking something, and then there’s forcing yourself to feel negative towards every aspect of every second of the episode. A lot what he says is hypocritical considering what his favorite Star Wars stuff is
Its also worth pointing out that this is how you do a proper tag team against 1 duel unlike what we got with palpatine where they just stand and die instanlty
exactly lol i really with these "fans" would go back and watch star wars ep1-6. Half were cool and half were laughable lol Its like they forgot. They have this mind set that all the fights in the previous ones were top notch... like bro yeah right hahahah
He elaborated during this fight that there was no MEANING or WEIGHT behind the fight because the story is garbage, predictable, and lazy. Additionally, he's a reactor and reviewer, so it's his job, despite the dislike he has for the show. You think all reviewers have to like the show or movie they review? Does everyone have to agree with your superficial taste in entertainment?
@coachk7461 He still has Episodes 1-6 and the Clone Wars to love. As do the rest of us who are tired of Disney spewing endless and tasteless bs. I'm sick of the reactors who praise this objectively bad crap. They are blinded by their unimpressionable biases. At least, there are still a few who aren't afraid to speak the truth.
@@literarystorm6412 SW EP 1 story is pretty bad and the a lot the acting was wooden. Now tell me how was the dual of the fates earn its weight? Darth had like 3 lines. QG was cool throughout while giving off expedition lines. OB was a padawan who killed DM. I love Dual of the fates but lets not pretend that this is bad in anyway.
@ratiwatwatthanaphuti5158 The story was fine. The dialogue was mid, but definitely not inflated with inconsistencies, monotonous dribble, or contradictions. Additionally, it didn't destroy canon narrative.
I hated the first 4 episodes but this one was actually pretty great in my opinion. Qimer as the sith, yes thats disappointing BUT he also probably has the best portrayel of a Sith we have seen in live action, that dude showed no remorse and savagely killed those Jedi, this is the brutality we should expect from a Sith. Looking forward to seeing where his story goes. I also respect that they had the balls to kill Yord and Sols padawan here, i honestly expected the side jedi go be the only ones to die.
He doesnt have the eyes, and since they added cortosis to the show i know theres a reason, maybe he isnt full of hatred, maybe he is jjst a psycopath or... a Knight of Ren. He isnt exactly a sith
In the first episode Mae says to Trinity that a jedi only takes out their lightsaber if prepared to kill so I laughed alot this episode everytime Yord used his as a flashlight lol.
Hey man it saves space on your utility belt although it seems very dangerous. Touch someone with your "flashlight" and someone could lose a limb. Although apparently in Disney Star Wars lightsabers no longer dismember limb they just leave scratches
You know the greatest thing about that? Did Obi-wan kill anyone in the Mos Eisley Cantina? Literally the first time we actually see a Lightsaber in combat. Didn't think so.
as someone who only watched this episode and wasn't soured by the first 4, the fights in this episode were extremely good. Definitely the best in disney star wars and even better then some of the movie fights imo
I’m sighing and rolling my eyes at his sighing and eye rolls. Shame he’s not enjoying the show, or perhaps he’s just trying too hard to hate it (for the clicks!). The fight scenes, cinematography and dialogue in this episode were outstanding. Better time is spent watching Reel Rejects, Kyle Katarn, Blind Wave and Louise Julie for thoughtful and enthusiastic reactions to the show.
The 2 sisters are hole plot every time on screen, nothing makes sense around them. Sol and Qimir saved the episode but it's hardly crafted to be honest. Reminds me starfield story telling.
With all due respect, you just named a bunch of chills that like everything as long as it has a Star Wars title. I like Blind Wave, but they love all things Star Wars unless it's fan made.
@@heikira438 Ah yeah for sure some of them are totally loyal to Disney and Lucasfilm. I just think it’s good to watch people react to something with enthusiasm when it’s warranted and criticism when it’s poor. I’ve seen plenty of Blind Wave reactions to Star Wars media that they’ve been pretty meh about, but as fans of the franchise and credible RUclipsrs they owe it to their viewers to discuss these things in a considered manner. This reaction to the episode is the polar opposite of that where his criticism is so insincere. The OTT disdain, moaning, huffing and eye rolls throughout the episode (which was actually fantastic) is just so disingenuous. He’s decided that he hates it before even watching it, which means that he can’t allow himself to see that the story is actually complex and nuanced with thoughtful connections to past films and Star Wars lore. It makes watching his reactions to the show feel kinda pointless.
@@ChimeStudio Oh, ok. I thought you were being serious up until that last bit. My bad. A "story that is complex, nuanced with thoughtful connections to the past Star Wars films" 😆 That's fucking hilarious
Probably the worst reaction out of the lot of them ☠️ . Yes I don’t like the series much either but give credit where it’s due . The battles were actually good .
@@Mylesv2 what your doing there is called a assumption, you can’t say for sure what he’s thinking. Also people tend to recognize patters, since Disney Star Wars shows don’t have the best track record, and on top of that a lot of rumours about the show being underwhelming turn out to be true, and then the first 4 episodes are a total disappointment, how else would you have expected him to go into this episode?
@@shawnkennedy1825 except it's not garbage, trash or anything like that. You people really are so low on vocabulary you can't talk about something with sayin' it's awesome or trash... At minimum, The Acolyte is mid for now. Imo it's okay. Not good, just okay. I have some complains but I still think it's not bad. It's just a huge missed opportunity considering all the High Republic stuff. But like Obi-Wan Kenobi wasn't bad, it was a missed opportunity, like Boba Fett. Disney has made great things with Star Wars, and some other that are bad or really meh... But they produced a lot so they have more chance to do better or worst things than Georges Lucas who also made great and mid things in Star Wars. I know a lot of people just seems to like hating things because it changed producers...
I'm a little bit older than this guy so his reaction reminds me of how the original trilogy guys reacted when the prequel trilogy came out. They were saying the same things he is saying that nothing was earned that the writing was bad. The prequels were absolutely panned when they came out but the kids who they were made for love those movies. The exact same thing is happening again. ironically enough some of these kids have become the haters that the original trilogy guys were. Im 100% sure that if this exact same episode came out but they said that George Lucas directed it and that Nick did the choreography that this guy would be singing it praises. At this point it's like watching a man-child throwing a tantrum. Also I don't understand how he can be disappointed by The Sith thing when we don't know how the story ends yet! Also when he talks about if this is meant to inspire people, does this man realize that this is just a moment of the story. Characters have to go through tribulations first...
Why is everyone upset about Sith existing. The Sith never went away, they went into hiding. The whole point of EP1 was the Jedi were morons for believing the Sith were gone. Sol needs to die and his secret is safe. No one is going to believe the witch sisters or Basil.
@@georgemoreira5198 No, Jedi were wrong, that was the revelation at the end of EP1. Darth Bane killed all the other Sith, made the Rule of Two and the Sith continued to exist in secret. Qimir probably killed his master and is looking for a new apprentice. It is 100% canon, he kills all the witnesses and the secret is safe.
@@georgemoreira5198you missed the point entirely. The point of the prequels is the Jedi were WRONG! How stupid are you lot. You literally take one line of dialogue as fact. It’s as if I said a Great White has been extinct just because I personally haven’t encountered one
I agree and I don't understand why some diehard fans are missing this? They never became extinct, though many people including Jedi mistakenly thought so. This was proven in the prequels.
Seriously, as someone who isn’t big with this show. You just watched it not wanting to like it. “Hmph, how dare they think they can match up anything close to a prequel fight, pathetic” or “this isn’t appropriate to the youth” the whole video. This isn’t even a kids show what? Why do you care if it’s a little violent
They like to switch sides to support their own narratives when it's convenient for them. I lose respect for people like that tbh and I used to enjoy his previous reactions.
Crazy to be complaining about the violence in this show as if we didn’t literally see beheadings in Clone Wars-which actually IS a kids show (we had beheadings in here too but didn’t even see them) lmao.
Bro said "is this supposed to inspire young people or something..." *Braindead reaction* Yeah cause Anakin beheading Doku in cold blood totally didn't happened? People want darker tone content, Disney gave us Andor and people were calling it boring and didn't watch then they gave us this and people are still like this is not star wars. Fake fans everywhere
@@ratiwatwatthanaphuti5158 I very much agree. I think a lot of the complaints thus far, especially for this show, mostly just stem from bigotry. But people are trying to paint it as “fair criticism” in order to disguise their prejudice. Like, I’m all ears if anyone has any actual valid points made against the plot or the writing. But if the complaints are hypocritical or happen to mention them disliking the show for having lesbian witches, mostly female characters, and hardly any white male characters-then I don’t buy this as “fair criticism” lol. Just extremely disingenuous tbh. Also, I get not loving everything that star wars puts out but come on. No need to complain about everything all the time. It’s better to just enjoy the fun stuff or all of the content you like imo. You just make yourself and others miserable all the time, otherwise.
I usually like what you have to say Skyman, and I may not always agree, but I think you're justification is typically there. This video though, you seem to be unreasonably nitpicky about things throughout the episode. There's plenty issues in this series but this episode, in my opinion, had more to celebrate than to critique. I hope you're not falling into the trap of "negativity sells".
Why is this creator looking for "logic" in a science "fiction?" Some of the "criticisms" he pointed out are just extreme nitpicking that even I am scratching my head about.
OK... blah blah blah... you just WANT to dislike these shows now. This episode and the fights are REALLY good... maybe have an open mind? I used to love this channel since you clearly LOVE Star Wars.... however... being mad/disappointed that they are not making exactly the story you wanted them to is not a fair way to critique. To be fair.... there are some cringe moments on this show... but overall it has been interesting and from what I can tell so far... they are looking to take the Legends material and weave it into the universe. To that point the helmet/bracer are made called Cortosis-weave armor (a Legends concept)... made from a mineral that can block, short out lightsabers and protect the wearer from mind trick/probes... etc. The sabers are not being cut in half (except the wookies at one point). I think that fans that believe "canon" is only some unknown immovable thing will ALWAYS be disappointed. I am intrigued to see where the show is heading... and what new layers to the lore and canon they are working to introduce. Give it a chance!
There is really no pleasing you is it? Unsurprising tbh with how much ignorance of star wars lore you’d demonstrated in the video. Just say ur casual and go to bed
Dont know why yall mad they made it obvious it was Qimir lol this isnt True Detective or Game of Thrones on HBO hahahaha Its a show for kids/teens first and foremost lol
At this point, stop watching it. What's the point of it if you don't like it with full hatred? There was a time I enjoyed your videos as a reactioner and be moved by your reaction. I'm gonna stop following you cause I also feel unbearable negativity from your videos. Goodbye and hope you enjoy something else.
12 minutes into his reaction and I'm just tired cuz you can tell he's so disinterested and pointing out things that aren't even relevant (like there should be fire on those cut trees instead of space) so I don't even know why he still keeps watching when he knows he's not gonna like it regardless of the outcome. 😩
Dont do reactions when you are determined to hate it from very beginning. There are alot of problems with Disney SW, but you "true" fans are now just determined to hate it no matter what. Rooling eyes on things you dont know like Cortosis shows really knowledge about lore and appreciation that makers wanna bring some Legends stuff to Canon. Now 1) Saying Fight is flat cos you have no emotional connection to characters is dump. Its your personal feeling and it does not affect choreo and fight composition itself 2) New show, new development.. If they spend more time to develop characters ppl will cry where is combat. When we recieve combat ppl cry where is character development 3) Funny to hate here things but actually same things in Prequles you love. Smilo here disseparing is shit, but Vader in EP5 againts Luke when he Dissapeared thats ok. 4)I do Love prequels but Phantom Menace Fight if you are objective had so many opening and empty spots aswell, so why you hate it here? 5) He said " People like you might call me Sith" He didnt say He is Sith.. He said that any other force user but a Jedi is a Sith to them. So whats your problem. 6) Mae killed Indara cos of trickery, she didnt beat her in fight. Lol... so Now a Jecki cant stand chance againts some non jedi assasin? 7) If you are a Jedi you can sense its not Mae. Dude, chill off. We have next episode. Plus He just lost all of his companions, ruthlessly killed. He almost felt to Dark side, he is out of Balance and you say - saying " he is a Jedi" he should know. 8) Yes, Kylo Ren theme... so maybe he will be just knight of Ren? 9)They said from what movies they took inspiration for t his episode. It was also horror movie. have no problem with it. 10) Saying its just swinging - Dude I respect Nick Gallard, but these guys who did this Fight know whet they are doing also. ANd Prequels Fight 1-3 Episodes where just the flashy fights. Cool, awesome, but only flashy. THis Fight in Acolyte were closer to any "real" fight than any of Prequels. Why the heck you have to hate everything? Cos Starwars Fandom is indeed just one by butthurt crybaby. At the beginning, we were right. Now fans lost it. Now is trendy to hate everything. And thats why Sw is doomed. You will brag about everything. Even the good things
I actually did enjoy how they weren’t afraid to kill the main characters off, and not make them camera immortal like Rey, been a while since we have seen some darker deaths
Disappointing reaction/review tbh. You don’t have to love or even like the show and it’s obviously not perfect. However this was by far the best episode yet, but you complained about every little detail. The choreography was also some of the best we’ve seen in live action star wars in a while. At this point you are hating just to hate. No fair criticisms at all.
This was depressing to watch, man. This episode was some of the best Star Wars content we've had, period, and you seem like you were determined to hate it no matter what. You're complaining about things that have been established for decades
Well not best starwars content “period” because that implies its better than the original saga eps 1-6 but yeah hes trippin it was the best jedi vs sith in disney starwars and i loved the episode and didnt even like most of the show
I change what i said i rewatched the whole show and skipped episode 3 i love the show it could be better at some parts and the pacing is awful but its dope
This show is setting up Osha to kill Sol the last person that can reveal the Sith. Two witch sisters that have killed Jedi, no one would believe them about the Sith.
Interesting you believe he is Sith, he never said he was, just “Jedi would call me Sith” Take note of the beginning of kylos theme…the murder mystery begins origins I believe
@@TheMasterJedi Whether he is sith or not doesn't really matter, he could be similar to a nightbrother and controlled by Koril. Either way, Sol needs to die to keep everything secret.
@@randomlyrj7900 On the updated Wiki it doesnt say outright that he is. It says something similar to the show like “some may consider him a Sith” in his description
@@randomlyrj7900 great! Does it bother me? No, do I enjoy it still yes. The point is that everyone glosses over is that change happens, you can whine, cry, ruin a supposed fandom like skyman and theory.
Yup. Prequel fights are the opposite of this, all emotion and very basic choreo, whereas this choreo is much better, but nowhere near the emotion because there's not been the time spent to feel for characters. He's made up his mind though and just wants to pout his way through the show. He's basically become like the OG fans who shat on the prequels because they weren't real Star Wars. It's sad to see.
Exactly, a part from Duel of the Fates and the Mustafar duel there are so many fights in the prequels that are extremely goofy and poorly choreographed.
@@dxjjw wouldnt say they are goofy but i would say they werent great compared to those two, but atleast give credit to obi wan and ani vs dooku in revenge of the sith, although, my 2nd favorite jedi is mace windu i loved his fight with palps but it was way too short, not that great and the other 3 jedi dying was actually terrible writing regardless of it being a force scream blah blah blah
Y'all get angry when people don't like the acolyte and then you reason that the acolyte is good because the George Lucas star wars movies aren't even that great. Like do y'all even like star wars? Seems like y'all are 12 years old and grew up watching Disney star wars rather than real star wars. Like what kind of dumb argument is this? LMAO
People are hating on Lucasfilm under Disney but they are still Lucasfilm, the same entity which operated under George Lucas with literally the same employees, most of which stayed on after the Disney acquisition. Almost all creative decisions are made internally with only financials and other standard operating stuff really reported onto Disney via annual reports etc. And despite what some may try to convince you, they have given us some gems in the post George era - Rogue One, Mandalorian, Clone Wars S7 and many would include Andor. And just like Lucasfilm under GL gave us some all time duds in TPM & AOTC, they have given us some under Disney as well. Fans, well mainly those who grew up in the prequel era, like to act like the entire George Lucas era of Star Wars was filled with masterpiece after masterpiece, that he didn't put a foot wrong, they've literally tried to rewrite history because they likely were not even born to witness the enormous backlash he got after the first two prequels as well as the special edition changes he made to the OT. That was at least on a par with the backlash some of the current era movies/series are getting. It's just the nature of the business. Not a single long running franchise in movie/TV history has given us nothing but great products. NOT A SINGLE ONE. Look at franchises like the Terminator where the first two were great and all the rest have been poorly received, the Alien franchise is exactly the same, first two great, everything else rubbish, same with Predator. Hell, even the Godfather trilogy ended with a dud after the first two movies were two of the greatest ever made in the history of cinema. Literally no franchise is immune because it's SO DAMN HARD to keep that level of quality and to keep fans happy. In fact, it's impossible. But that is more of a reflection of people in general, we expect too much, we nitpick every little thing, we're hypercritical. It's so much better to go into a movie/series and try your best to find _good things_ to say about it rather than to try your hardest to find bad things to say, which people like Skyman, Star Wars Theory etc do. They just nitpick everything, even if what they are saying could easily be applied to the prequels. They are not only haters but hypocrites too.
Damn I wish I could take my view back, I didn't know you were gonna just hate watch this. Very forced complaints, and ignorance of what is going on just so you can hate on it smh
It's clear that you've joined the trend of nitpicking about everything. If Lucas made an identical episode, he would scream with joy. It's a pity because I liked watching you.
I don’t get how you can blame him for disliking the episode and his takes on the show. He’s completely right about it not having the energy and feel of what Star Wars used to have, sure he may be nitpicking about certain things but why shouldn’t he? It’s obvious the show runners don’t know Star Wars or care about it and are purposely throwing the fans under the bus. So why should he defend it? It’s an objectively bad series which fails at every part of creating a compelling story and Is filled with lore breaking parts. If anything he’s going easy on it with criticism.
Usually a fan of your work but you went into this one with an immature negative biased mentality. I don't care for the acolyte at all but this video is just lame and ridiculously nitpicky and hateful
I luaghed at this guy saying, "I could write this episode" and "OH IF THEY SAY SITH IN THIS EPISOOOODE" OK MAN CHILD, CHILL THE EFF OUT; don't watch it anymore LMAO btw we don't even know what rank he is in the Sith
I'm actually glad they went with Qimir as the Sith even if it was so obvious, even he joked to Mae about how obvious it was. I was so worried they were going to reveal one of the twins mother's as the Sith. Especially when Osha told Yord her mother had those abilities.
Sorry man, but it just seems like you came in with the thought you were gonna hate it and just continued without valid reason. First you say that there's no weight and it doesn't feel earned. After how incredible Jecki performed you just shrug it off saying that the show is trying to hard. I'm just so disappointed in you. You never gave it a chance, you wanted to hate just to hate. Go watch the things you like, instead of hating on other things.
I hate it when people still get angry at a show while an episode is actually freaking good just because the show gets a lot of hate because it wasn’t that good but when it is they still go that same route because it gets views I guess but still. It was cool.

I used to enjoy the enthusiaum from you in everything you watched. It's really sad to see youi're not enjoying this show or Star Wars in general. This episode was awesome but it seems you were to focused on talking trash about it through the whole episode.
I'm not sure why you even posted this. Like, you clearly didn't have any fun, it's all an act or you really like making other people feel really down. why would I watch a reaction to sth I didn't like? Maybe you make more money this way, but it's bad promotion for your channel. Probably won't watch any more of your videos.
The Jedi in the beginning of the episode waving their lightsabers around at nothing towards the left, when qimir was towards the right fighting different Jedi was hilarious😂
At this point bro, you’re just hate watching it. If the choreography was shit, you would have pointed out how bad the choreography was if the choreography was good, which In this case it is, you now say it wasn’t earned. There is no winning with you. If at this point, you can’t even enjoy a lightsaber duel like you would a no stakes not earned “The Old Republic” duel cinematic, then just stop torturing yourself. Stop hate watching it.
Stop complaining every two seconds man. "Oh those trees should have been on fire". Waah waah womp womp. You never had any intention of being open minded, you came into it with negativity and left with more negativity. Also floating with the force is not a new thing. Dooku has done it before. And him being a Sith is not canon breaking, he literally said he has to kill them all because they discovered him.
Someone who understands right here^^^^✅. They cry about anything minor they can find rather than watching the series. The prequels have a lot of things wrong with them but don’t bring that name in vain or suffer the consequences you will.😂
@@frenlyfren so toxic negativity is the response? It's a canon animated show, get over it. This guy is sitting here for 25 minutes complaining about every little detail he sees on screen, how is that not toxic?
@@Meowtro No, real negativity, the kind you back up with real criticism. The show isn't cannon, it breaks cannon. Critiquing the show thoroughly is more refreshing than glazing over the issues.
24:50 Well think about it... they dissed George's ideas ever since they bought it from him. This is all proof that they just want to do their own thing and want nothing to do with George... ironically.
I actually don't think he's a sith at all, Qimir says You "might" call me a Sith. I think he's a Knight of Ren or even the Original Ren. Why I think this? Kylo's theme played seconds into the episode and I think it played at the end as well
@@betafitness They could, there's no canon source that says they couldn't be active during then. Wookieepedia says they were founded by 3 ABY since that was the first chronological appearance of them via the Crimson Dawn comics.
Blind wave and Kyle katarn thank you for not hating just for the sake of hating. Bro can’t give credit where credit is due I thought this fight was better than the sidious vs all the masters in episode 3. I haven’t really followed this show since after the second episode but I’ve been waiting for the saber fights and watching this episode I was pulled in everything aside.
I cant when you say" They tried to do something cool, but its just swinging as fast as they could. Bro, thats sick to say. If you say this, its just non disputable proof, you are hater and its just dumb.
It’s insane how this reaction is really just for the clicks. Yord dies and your reaction is “what is this show is it meant to inspire kids” as if other Star Wars content hasn’t had any fucked up deaths.
@@takura187 judging by your recent comments on this channel it’s clear that you’ll defend this guy no matter what. Can’t you see the guy is not even being authentic in his reaction? And he’s not hiding it.
He also says none of the shows are good but in his old reactions he was quite positive to the majority of the shows so I don't understand where this change into extremely negativity came from. Even when he was negative he did in a way that constructive. It's very disappointing
The acolyte is so good, one of the best lightsabre fights in stars wars history, that was amazing,i dont know what is your problem is or maybe you are deluded lol
I feel you went in with such a negative attitude and have already decided what you think of this series as a whole. There's no chance for you to enjoy this
Sorry, man. I used to like watching these. But it seems you've made up your mind early, and now everything has to be complained about no matter how cool it might be to someone with an unbiased view. Complaining about flames (or lack thereof) in the middle of a lightsaber fight, for example... Can you just sit back and enjoy anything anymore without prejudgment?
You are hating simply for the sake of hating. This is one of the best choreographies ever seen in Star Wars and you are saying stupid things simply because you hate those who do it
What is wrong with you? Call yourself a Star Wars fan?! Some of the best Star Wars action we’ve seen since the prequel trilogy and all you can to is moan moan moan. I’ve seen how you react normally to this sort of thing like a true fanboy… it’s almost like you’ve been paid off by Nerdrotic or something to back his anti Disney agenda.
You're letting your hate consume you. You can't like the prequels and talk about charisma, storytelling, and emotion. The prequels are all wooden acting, no emotion, and 30 minutes long ridiculous duels of people doing ballet and flipping around.
I'm extremely happy to see Skyman getting COOKED in the comments. Episode 5 has really shown who's putting on a facade and just going into each episode trying to hate it. Glad people are seeing this. Hey Skyman, nobody is forcing you to watch this. But I get it, you get money, so you gotta keep pretending to hate. Cool man. Also, saying Phantom Menace is "perfection" while hating on this show is just the most fucking ironic thing I've seen. Cmon dude. 😂😂

This episode was pretty awesome but skyman you seemed to have made your mind up not to enjoy it :( It even had Jedi Shish Kebab. Also complaining about the trees but we forget the immortal handrail on the DeathStar 2
agreed at this point he just seems to be disliking it cause he dislikes it and nitpicking.
i literally had no dog in this fight. if anything i went in expecting junk and have a very anti disney feeling. hated obiwan, hated parts of ahsoka, hated the sequels.
master Sol carried it for me. episode 1-2 were decent. episode 3 was really really bad. episode 4 nothing happened. but this was actually decent (except the bad dialogue and delivery from the sith) and the choreography was really good.
@@mikemcmike6427 Choreography was bad. Eight fully trained jedi versus one no name, and seven out of the eight are destroyed. Terrible set up for a fight.
@@literarystorm6412 it literally wasn’t. I each person had a unique fighting style and it looked good.
Okay and? In the prequels you had multiple jedis including masters just stand there while Palpatine mowed them down.
You disliking he’s OP doesn’t make the choreography bad. If they have a decent explanation I’ll accept it
@@mikemcmike6427 Why are you defending a show of a company that practices discrimination through their hiring process?
@@literarystorm6412 I’m not? Believe me I’m the biggest Disney critic: hated the sequels, hated obiwan, hated solo. I don’t judge a company on their morality if I do I wouldn’t be able to buy any food from any big corporation or watch any tv or movies:
I’m just calling a spade a spade: master Sol carried this entire show. Episode 3 and 4 were horrendous and 5 was actually surprisingly good
people who say this guy cant be sith must not know Star Wars or sith lore very well. the sith have been in hiding for a thousand years, not extinct, which was made explicitly clear in the phantom menace. and then qimir even says that now that hes been exposed, everyone whos seen him has to die. this makes complete sense.
I agree. Qimir did a pretty good job killing off all the key witnesses. Now Sol is going to go back to the Jedi with a disguised Mae who will probably cause more problems for Sol and he and/or Mae will get blamed for what happened because he left the planet without recovering the bodies of the other Jedi. The council will probably ask why he left the planet in a hurry if the Sith was defeated or why he abandoned the planet to the Sith threat. Then they'll accuse him of killing the other Jedi because they only started dying when he brought Osha along with him. Then Mae disguised as Osha does something stupid and proves the council's point.
Yea I really have no issues with there being a Sith because they're hiding and also the show isn't over. If he kills everyone like he said he will then the problem is solved lol. I do wish they made the show around Sol learning about Qimir and hunting him down without OSHA and Mae being the leads. I just feel like their story is boring but Everytime I see Sol I want more.
I get the feeling that Qimir isn't actually Sith. He doesn't seem to have the power or knowledge of the force to come close to being actual Sith. Now that's from the very little we know about him so.. I'd argue he's an "acolyte" to a larger and better known Sith of the time, Plagueis. I just don't think that Qimir is the real big bad here pulling all the strings. This is all just a plot to confuse the Jedi about the real Sith return coming. The Jedi will just cover this situation up to save face in the galaxy and inch closer to their demise. Just my opinion.
@@BamaHoopsBoi I think he’s Sith, but simply the Sith apprentice. I think there’s a Sith master (possibly tenebrous) that we haven’t seen yet
This doesn't make complete sense. Ki Adi Mundi knows there is an apprentice being trained by a master who is going around killing Jedi. That has Sith written all over it. And we ALL know he isn't gonna die.
"It's just people swingning like crazy" is WILD for such a lover of the prequels to say.
prequels have by far the best choreography of all star wars
@@francissellerdudetrue but the problem is the “just swinging like crazy” complaint is so off and hypocritical since that is what mindless prequel haters say about the prequels this episode deserves its props as the best choreography in disney starwars so far and some of the best choreography in general for starwars
hating every aspect of this show, refusing to acknowledge (even if it's admittedly few) the things it does right is wild for a prequel fan. those who grew up in the prequel era should be the most open to new concepts as they watched the older generations shit on the prequels/the thing they liked. to see that cycle of blind hate and dismissal continue is so depressing. the writing on this show has been awful but to nitpick and hyper analyze/scrutinize everything else because of the writing is so shitty. so many "fans" have lost their way.
@@snarkyrogue118 yeah its annoying it does a lot right but the little things that it does wrong are really big and I understand that but having this nitpickey hate for it is just wild most of the damage to the show though is on the show runners and actors and the things they said before it even released idk why they couldnt just keep their mouths shut usually press pre release is to build hype for the show incase people might not know about it but this is starwars everyone already knows
You didn't even give this episode a chance man
Yeah when you're hating on even the best parts, I can't go on watching this reaction. Hope you like the next series as much as I liked this one.

@@perssontm1628 well, in episode 6 we get a clear shot of the body… still not convinced xD
As a die hard Star wars fan, I actually think the fights in this show have been more weighted and realistic than most of the prequel fights.
Let’s put our nostalgic biases aside…the prequel duels are visually amazing, but they look so much like choreographed dances. I mean countless times in the fights people are not aiming to kill each other, it’s like they’re just doing flashy moves for the sake of being flashy. I think the duels here have been so much more weighted than the prequels, which are very twirly and flippy for the sake of being flashy. Still great fights, but even in the best fights like Anakin and Obi Wan, there’s moves that are absolutely ridiculously unrealistic. In this episode of the Acolyte, there was an intensity that it was constantly life or death and the moves were very well choreographed while keeping it grounded.
I'm happy you enjoyed it.
I felt nothing in this episode but apathy. This show is the nail in the coffin for Disney SW for me. I unsubscribed from D+.
I’ve noticed that to. People praise duel of the fates like a masterwork of choreography, but there are so many instances of stuff that makes zero sense. It’s still a great fight tho.
Absolutely 100%! In the OT, Luke x Vader (both duels) were more about the internalization of the characters. It wasn't meant to be flashy and shit. In the prequels, the story was subbed to have better choreographed duels.
Obi Wan x Qui Gon vs Maul...there's no emotion there. 0 words are said the whole fight. Compare that to Vader baiting Luke in ROTJ. "Twin sista! And forcing him to snap. That's what it's about. I think Acolyte did a great job combining both elements of story telling while having an entertaining duel.
He did not fly he glided count dooku did it why is it a problem now?
Well, since so many people keep pointing out that Ki-Adi Mundis age aint canon, ...
Dooku flying aint canon either, cause it came from the 2D animated Clone Wars, wich already wasnt canon pre Disney, lol!
@@NinjaChris77 I would like to point out Vader glides in both Star Wars Battlefront 2 OG and the EA game as his jump. Its been around awhile never seen a issue with it.
Force users gliding has been a thing In the clone wars animated show, in old games, in the newest games. Why are star wars "fans" complaining about it now? We're talking about a show with space monks with powers, come the fuck on
@@NinjaChris77 🤦 they’ve done it for a long time u just wanna be negative
@@BighossssThis whole show is negative. Actually, Disney is entirely negative..over a decade they still aren't close to making a profit on this trash.
I actually did like that they spent more time on combat instead of weird chants and bad dialogue and acting. But I really wish they did not kill of Jecki. Killing off a wookie jedi off screen will never be forgivable.
Jecki's death was necessary... A sith doesnt spare. As palpatine said "There is NO mercy...". She was a good character, but she had to go to hammer the point of what a sith acts like.
According to hardcore prequel fans only Nick Gillard from the prequels can do lightsaber fights. It's bullcrap and I'm glad prequel fans don't run Star Wars or else we wouldn't get what probably is one of the best fights in all of Star Wars even if the show is bad.
@@CometStar100 Nah, there is definitely an aspect of this entire fight that makes it fall on it's face almost immediately. I could care less how these fights look compared to prequel or original trilogy fights. The Sith leaves so many openings for retaliation that it's amazing that he survived 1v8 (10?) There were some cool aspects like mixing the Force with lightsaber combat, but overall the choreography was clumsy. That being said, I always appreciate them introducing different sword fighting styles into Lightsaber combat and I definitely liked the hidden dagger aspect.
i love Jecki . and sol . their acting is the way jedi should be .
The fight was dogshit as is the show. @@CometStar100
I've never seen a more forced "hate" in my life. You complaining about the "impact" of the sabers or the movement of the choreography, when its some of the best lightsaber fighting we've had since the prequels. It's just sad that you can't even enjoy the good, fun moments this episode offers.
If you want to see good duels, just type “lightsaber duel” on RUclips. The goal of a series is to bring interest and depth to the fights. A good lightsaber duel without a good story isn't worth much. In any case, it's difficult to be satisfied with a good point with so much mediocrity next to it.
There’s been 4 episodes of this show up until this point. People are allowed to have different opinions, I despise this show as well. I couldn’t agree with skymans reaction enough.
This show is a disgrace
People can not like what you like, get over it.

Its also worth pointing out that this is how you do a proper tag team against 1 duel unlike what we got with palpatine where they just stand and die instanlty
but that is perfection

This guy reacting is unwatchable crying every two seconds… And this episode is one best we got ages.
Can’t lie Skyman you’re just hating at this point 🤣 this episode was nuts
Yeah he was nitpicking a bit too hard especially since a lot of the prequel fights have the same issues he complained about
@@twizms7362 Exactly
You cant be mad yes the sith he litterally quoted the sith code in episode 2. Only the sith know the code
If you read the Plagueis book, Tenebrous had like a million apprentices so potions guy could just be another one
Yeah, the whole point is that Plagueis had to kill them to be able to attain the title of a true Master.
That´s classical sith.
Well he had like 4 not that many but yeah rule of two is dumb, arbitrary, and nonsensical
I think you just need to enjoy the fun part. Or you are going to let your hate for this show consume you.
He elaborated during this fight that there was no MEANING or WEIGHT behind the fight because the story is garbage, predictable, and lazy. Additionally, he's a reactor and reviewer, so it's his job, despite the dislike he has for the show. You think all reviewers have to like the show or movie they review? Does everyone have to agree with your superficial taste in entertainment?
@@literarystorm6412 I truly get that. I just don’t want him to lose his love for Star Wars in the process.
@coachk7461 He still has Episodes 1-6 and the Clone Wars to love. As do the rest of us who are tired of Disney spewing endless and tasteless bs. I'm sick of the reactors who praise this objectively bad crap. They are blinded by their unimpressionable biases. At least, there are still a few who aren't afraid to speak the truth.
@@literarystorm6412 SW EP 1 story is pretty bad and the a lot the acting was wooden.
Now tell me how was the dual of the fates earn its weight? Darth had like 3 lines. QG was cool throughout while giving off expedition lines. OB was a padawan who killed DM.
I love Dual of the fates but lets not pretend that this is bad in anyway.
@ratiwatwatthanaphuti5158 The story was fine. The dialogue was mid, but definitely not inflated with inconsistencies, monotonous dribble, or contradictions. Additionally, it didn't destroy canon narrative.
I hated the first 4 episodes but this one was actually pretty great in my opinion. Qimer as the sith, yes thats disappointing BUT he also probably has the best portrayel of a Sith we have seen in live action, that dude showed no remorse and savagely killed those Jedi, this is the brutality we should expect from a Sith.
Looking forward to seeing where his story goes.
I also respect that they had the balls to kill Yord and Sols padawan here, i honestly expected the side jedi go be the only ones to die.
I was hoping he’d resurrect them both at the end there to his cause. 😂
Best portrayal of a sith in live action?
Are you saying he’s better than Vader and Palpatine? That’s just wrong and there’s no case to make
He doesnt have the eyes, and since they added cortosis to the show i know theres a reason, maybe he isnt full of hatred, maybe he is jjst a psycopath or... a Knight of Ren. He isnt exactly a sith
@@MrRiceGuy95yord and Jackie will prob show up at the end as force ghosts
It doesn't work like that, my dude.@@Br0wnCh3
bro just loves to hate the show for fun like jesus dude
In the first episode Mae says to Trinity that a jedi only takes out their lightsaber if prepared to kill so I laughed alot this episode everytime Yord used his as a flashlight lol.
Hey man it saves space on your utility belt although it seems very dangerous. Touch someone with your "flashlight" and someone could lose a limb. Although apparently in Disney Star Wars lightsabers no longer dismember limb they just leave scratches
You know the greatest thing about that? Did Obi-wan kill anyone in the Mos Eisley Cantina? Literally the first time we actually see a Lightsaber in combat. Didn't think so.
Cal Kestis: damn it do be dark here
as someone who only watched this episode and wasn't soured by the first 4, the fights in this episode were extremely good. Definitely the best in disney star wars and even better then some of the movie fights imo
you are trying WAY WAYYYY too hard to hate on this
Bro is just determined to not like the show.
I’m sighing and rolling my eyes at his sighing and eye rolls. Shame he’s not enjoying the show, or perhaps he’s just trying too hard to hate it (for the clicks!). The fight scenes, cinematography and dialogue in this episode were outstanding. Better time is spent watching Reel Rejects, Kyle Katarn, Blind Wave and Louise Julie for thoughtful and enthusiastic reactions to the show.
So what you want is clapping seals and an audience that must watch the propaganda and show no criticism, no thanks shill.
The 2 sisters are hole plot every time on screen, nothing makes sense around them. Sol and Qimir saved the episode but it's hardly crafted to be honest. Reminds me starfield story telling.
With all due respect, you just named a bunch of chills that like everything as long as it has a Star Wars title. I like Blind Wave, but they love all things Star Wars unless it's fan made.
@@heikira438 Ah yeah for sure some of them are totally loyal to Disney and Lucasfilm. I just think it’s good to watch people react to something with enthusiasm when it’s warranted and criticism when it’s poor. I’ve seen plenty of Blind Wave reactions to Star Wars media that they’ve been pretty meh about, but as fans of the franchise and credible RUclipsrs they owe it to their viewers to discuss these things in a considered manner. This reaction to the episode is the polar opposite of that where his criticism is so insincere. The OTT disdain, moaning, huffing and eye rolls throughout the episode (which was actually fantastic) is just so disingenuous. He’s decided that he hates it before even watching it, which means that he can’t allow himself to see that the story is actually complex and nuanced with thoughtful connections to past films and Star Wars lore. It makes watching his reactions to the show feel kinda pointless.
@@ChimeStudio Oh, ok. I thought you were being serious up until that last bit. My bad. A "story that is complex, nuanced with thoughtful connections to the past Star Wars films" 😆 That's fucking hilarious
Probably the worst reaction out of the lot of them ☠️ . Yes I don’t like the series much either but give credit where it’s due . The battles were actually good .
Its taken so long but finally what an amazing well thought out crafted choreographed fight scene. Amazing just amazing.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You just go into these looking to dislike something, so why watch it? I don't get it
It's the cool thing to do now apparently.

@@shawnkennedy1825 he already made up his kind before the first episode. Didn't even give it a chance
@@Mylesv2 what your doing there is called a assumption, you can’t say for sure what he’s thinking. Also people tend to recognize patters, since Disney Star Wars shows don’t have the best track record, and on top of that a lot of rumours about the show being underwhelming turn out to be true, and then the first 4 episodes are a total disappointment, how else would you have expected him to go into this episode?
@@shawnkennedy1825 except it's not garbage, trash or anything like that. You people really are so low on vocabulary you can't talk about something with sayin' it's awesome or trash... At minimum, The Acolyte is mid for now. Imo it's okay. Not good, just okay. I have some complains but I still think it's not bad. It's just a huge missed opportunity considering all the High Republic stuff. But like Obi-Wan Kenobi wasn't bad, it was a missed opportunity, like Boba Fett.
Disney has made great things with Star Wars, and some other that are bad or really meh... But they produced a lot so they have more chance to do better or worst things than Georges Lucas who also made great and mid things in Star Wars.
I know a lot of people just seems to like hating things because it changed producers...
I'm a little bit older than this guy so his reaction reminds me of how the original trilogy guys reacted when the prequel trilogy came out. They were saying the same things he is saying that nothing was earned that the writing was bad. The prequels were absolutely panned when they came out but the kids who they were made for love those movies. The exact same thing is happening again. ironically enough some of these kids have become the haters that the original trilogy guys were. Im 100% sure that if this exact same episode came out but they said that George Lucas directed it and that Nick did the choreography that this guy would be singing it praises. At this point it's like watching a man-child throwing a tantrum. Also I don't understand how he can be disappointed by The Sith thing when we don't know how the story ends yet! Also when he talks about if this is meant to inspire people, does this man realize that this is just a moment of the story. Characters have to go through tribulations first...
Ok I thought I was the only one who noticed Kylo Ren’s theme that played, but glad you caught it too. I think confirms he is the original Ren?
Okay so I'm not the only one either lol
That was my thinking, too. I would consider it a redemption of the arc if that's the case.
Yes!
Why is everyone upset about Sith existing. The Sith never went away, they went into hiding. The whole point of EP1 was the Jedi were morons for believing the Sith were gone. Sol needs to die and his secret is safe. No one is going to believe the witch sisters or Basil.
They were extent for a Millenia lol
@@georgemoreira5198 No, Jedi were wrong, that was the revelation at the end of EP1. Darth Bane killed all the other Sith, made the Rule of Two and the Sith continued to exist in secret. Qimir probably killed his master and is looking for a new apprentice. It is 100% canon, he kills all the witnesses and the secret is safe.
@@georgemoreira5198you missed the point entirely. The point of the prequels is the Jedi were WRONG! How stupid are you lot. You literally take one line of dialogue as fact. It’s as if I said a Great White has been extinct just because I personally haven’t encountered one
I agree and I don't understand why some diehard fans are missing this? They never became extinct, though many people including Jedi mistakenly thought so. This was proven in the prequels.
I'm OK with the Sith popping out of hiding. But a Sith lord taking on this many jedi seems unrealistic.
Seriously, as someone who isn’t big with this show. You just watched it not wanting to like it. “Hmph, how dare they think they can match up anything close to a prequel fight, pathetic” or “this isn’t appropriate to the youth” the whole video. This isn’t even a kids show what? Why do you care if it’s a little violent
People love to cry and complain when these shows are “too kiddy” but now they’re complaining about the violence. Lmao it’s pathetic
They like to switch sides to support their own narratives when it's convenient for them. I lose respect for people like that tbh and I used to enjoy his previous reactions.
Crazy to be complaining about the violence in this show as if we didn’t literally see beheadings in Clone Wars-which actually IS a kids show (we had beheadings in here too but didn’t even see them) lmao.
Bro said "is this supposed to inspire young people or something..." *Braindead reaction*
Yeah cause Anakin beheading Doku in cold blood totally didn't happened?
People want darker tone content, Disney gave us Andor and people were calling it boring and didn't watch then they gave us this and people are still like this is not star wars.
Fake fans everywhere
@@ratiwatwatthanaphuti5158 I very much agree. I think a lot of the complaints thus far, especially for this show, mostly just stem from bigotry. But people are trying to paint it as “fair criticism” in order to disguise their prejudice.
Like, I’m all ears if anyone has any actual valid points made against the plot or the writing. But if the complaints are hypocritical or happen to mention them disliking the show for having lesbian witches, mostly female characters, and hardly any white male characters-then I don’t buy this as “fair criticism” lol. Just extremely disingenuous tbh.
Also, I get not loving everything that star wars puts out but come on. No need to complain about everything all the time. It’s better to just enjoy the fun stuff or all of the content you like imo. You just make yourself and others miserable all the time, otherwise.
I usually like what you have to say Skyman, and I may not always agree, but I think you're justification is typically there. This video though, you seem to be unreasonably nitpicky about things throughout the episode. There's plenty issues in this series but this episode, in my opinion, had more to celebrate than to critique. I hope you're not falling into the trap of "negativity sells".
Why is this creator looking for "logic" in a science "fiction?" Some of the "criticisms" he pointed out are just extreme nitpicking that even I am scratching my head about.
OK... blah blah blah... you just WANT to dislike these shows now. This episode and the fights are REALLY good... maybe have an open mind? I used to love this channel since you clearly LOVE Star Wars.... however... being mad/disappointed that they are not making exactly the story you wanted them to is not a fair way to critique. To be fair.... there are some cringe moments on this show... but overall it has been interesting and from what I can tell so far... they are looking to take the Legends material and weave it into the universe. To that point the helmet/bracer are made called Cortosis-weave armor (a Legends concept)... made from a mineral that can block, short out lightsabers and protect the wearer from mind trick/probes... etc. The sabers are not being cut in half (except the wookies at one point). I think that fans that believe "canon" is only some unknown immovable thing will ALWAYS be disappointed. I am intrigued to see where the show is heading... and what new layers to the lore and canon they are working to introduce. Give it a chance!
best episode so far amazing fight
There is really no pleasing you is it? Unsurprising tbh with how much ignorance of star wars lore you’d demonstrated in the video. Just say ur casual and go to bed
Preach 🙌
He's just a prequel widow, not a fan
@@TheMarcelodacruz Prequel Widow is just...the best way I've heard this type of person described, I'm pocketing that, thank you very much
Ok, that opening was gold 😂
Dont know why yall mad they made it obvious it was Qimir lol this isnt True Detective or Game of Thrones on HBO hahahaha Its a show for kids/teens first and foremost lol
@@kentstankNot that. His opening skit was gold.
@@heikira438 oh gotcha :)
Looks like you are torturing yourself
Bro made up his mind before the show was even released and now he is facing consequences
who wouldn´t with this garbage
At this point, stop watching it. What's the point of it if you don't like it with full hatred?
There was a time I enjoyed your videos as a reactioner and be moved by your reaction. I'm gonna stop following you cause I also feel unbearable negativity from your videos. Goodbye and hope you enjoy something else.
12 minutes into his reaction and I'm just tired cuz you can tell he's so disinterested and pointing out things that aren't even relevant (like there should be fire on those cut trees instead of space) so I don't even know why he still keeps watching when he knows he's not gonna like it regardless of the outcome. 😩
Because thats how reaction channels work.
@@takura187this wasn’t a reaction, your reaction becomes disingenuous when you try this hard to hate on every second of the episode
Dont do reactions when you are determined to hate it from very beginning.
There are alot of problems with Disney SW, but you "true" fans are now just determined to hate it no matter what.
Rooling eyes on things you dont know like Cortosis shows really knowledge about lore and appreciation that makers wanna bring some Legends stuff to Canon.
Now
1) Saying Fight is flat cos you have no emotional connection to characters is dump. Its your personal feeling and it does not affect choreo and fight composition itself
2) New show, new development.. If they spend more time to develop characters ppl will cry where is combat. When we recieve combat ppl cry where is character development
3) Funny to hate here things but actually same things in Prequles you love. Smilo here disseparing is shit, but Vader in EP5 againts Luke when he Dissapeared thats ok.
4)I do Love prequels but Phantom Menace Fight if you are objective had so many opening and empty spots aswell, so why you hate it here?
5) He said " People like you might call me Sith" He didnt say He is Sith.. He said that any other force user but a Jedi is a Sith to them. So whats your problem.
6) Mae killed Indara cos of trickery, she didnt beat her in fight. Lol... so Now a Jecki cant stand chance againts some non jedi assasin?
7) If you are a Jedi you can sense its not Mae. Dude, chill off. We have next episode. Plus He just lost all of his companions, ruthlessly killed. He almost felt to Dark side, he is out of Balance and you say - saying " he is a Jedi" he should know.
8) Yes, Kylo Ren theme... so maybe he will be just knight of Ren?
9)They said from what movies they took inspiration for t his episode. It was also horror movie. have no problem with it.
10) Saying its just swinging - Dude I respect Nick Gallard, but these guys who did this Fight know whet they are doing also. ANd Prequels Fight 1-3 Episodes where just the flashy fights. Cool, awesome, but only flashy. THis Fight in Acolyte were closer to any "real" fight than any of Prequels.
Why the heck you have to hate everything?
Cos Starwars Fandom is indeed just one by butthurt crybaby.
At the beginning, we were right. Now fans lost it. Now is trendy to hate everything. And thats why Sw is doomed. You will brag about everything. Even the good things
I actually did enjoy how they weren’t afraid to kill the main characters off, and not make them camera immortal like Rey, been a while since we have seen some darker deaths
You should just stop your reaction to this show. I enjoy your channel, but all the negativity doesn't make for good content.
Disappointing reaction/review tbh. You don’t have to love or even like the show and it’s obviously not perfect. However this was by far the best episode yet, but you complained about every little detail. The choreography was also some of the best we’ve seen in live action star wars in a while. At this point you are hating just to hate. No fair criticisms at all.
“Fly-lo Ren’s flew off” 😂😂 I love your videos
This was depressing to watch, man. This episode was some of the best Star Wars content we've had, period, and you seem like you were determined to hate it no matter what. You're complaining about things that have been established for decades
Well not best starwars content “period” because that implies its better than the original saga eps 1-6 but yeah hes trippin it was the best jedi vs sith in disney starwars and i loved the episode and didnt even like most of the show
He wears rose colored glasses when it comes to the prequels.
I change what i said i rewatched the whole show and skipped episode 3 i love the show it could be better at some parts and the pacing is awful but its dope
This show is setting up Osha to kill Sol the last person that can reveal the Sith. Two witch sisters that have killed Jedi, no one would believe them about the Sith.
Interesting you believe he is Sith, he never said he was, just “Jedi would call me Sith” Take note of the beginning of kylos theme…the murder mystery begins origins I believe
@@TheMasterJedi Whether he is sith or not doesn't really matter, he could be similar to a nightbrother and controlled by Koril. Either way, Sol needs to die to keep everything secret.
@@TheMasterJedi The actor confirmed he is a Sith Lord on an interview with EW. Management hasn't said anything to debunk that so he is a Sith Lord
@@randomlyrj7900
On the updated Wiki it doesnt say outright that he is.
It says something similar to the show like “some may consider him a Sith” in his description
@@randomlyrj7900 great! Does it bother me? No, do I enjoy it still yes. The point is that everyone glosses over is that change happens, you can whine, cry, ruin a supposed fandom like skyman and theory.
First of all, stop acting like the prequel fights were that great because trust they do not hold up under scrutiny.
Yup. Prequel fights are the opposite of this, all emotion and very basic choreo, whereas this choreo is much better, but nowhere near the emotion because there's not been the time spent to feel for characters.
He's made up his mind though and just wants to pout his way through the show. He's basically become like the OG fans who shat on the prequels because they weren't real Star Wars. It's sad to see.
Nah the prequel fights were amazing this only beats a couple of them but that being said this was an amazing fight and goes into my top 6 duels ever
Exactly, a part from Duel of the Fates and the Mustafar duel there are so many fights in the prequels that are extremely goofy and poorly choreographed.
@@dxjjw wouldnt say they are goofy but i would say they werent great compared to those two, but atleast give credit to obi wan and ani vs dooku in revenge of the sith, although, my 2nd favorite jedi is mace windu i loved his fight with palps but it was way too short, not that great and the other 3 jedi dying was actually terrible writing regardless of it being a force scream blah blah blah
Y'all get angry when people don't like the acolyte and then you reason that the acolyte is good because the George Lucas star wars movies aren't even that great. Like do y'all even like star wars? Seems like y'all are 12 years old and grew up watching Disney star wars rather than real star wars. Like what kind of dumb argument is this? LMAO
People are hating on Lucasfilm under Disney but they are still Lucasfilm, the same entity which operated under George Lucas with literally the same employees, most of which stayed on after the Disney acquisition. Almost all creative decisions are made internally with only financials and other standard operating stuff really reported onto Disney via annual reports etc.
And despite what some may try to convince you, they have given us some gems in the post George era - Rogue One, Mandalorian, Clone Wars S7 and many would include Andor. And just like Lucasfilm under GL gave us some all time duds in TPM & AOTC, they have given us some under Disney as well.
Fans, well mainly those who grew up in the prequel era, like to act like the entire George Lucas era of Star Wars was filled with masterpiece after masterpiece, that he didn't put a foot wrong, they've literally tried to rewrite history because they likely were not even born to witness the enormous backlash he got after the first two prequels as well as the special edition changes he made to the OT. That was at least on a par with the backlash some of the current era movies/series are getting.
It's just the nature of the business. Not a single long running franchise in movie/TV history has given us nothing but great products. NOT A SINGLE ONE. Look at franchises like the Terminator where the first two were great and all the rest have been poorly received, the Alien franchise is exactly the same, first two great, everything else rubbish, same with Predator. Hell, even the Godfather trilogy ended with a dud after the first two movies were two of the greatest ever made in the history of cinema. Literally no franchise is immune because it's SO DAMN HARD to keep that level of quality and to keep fans happy. In fact, it's impossible. But that is more of a reflection of people in general, we expect too much, we nitpick every little thing, we're hypercritical.
It's so much better to go into a movie/series and try your best to find _good things_ to say about it rather than to try your hardest to find bad things to say, which people like Skyman, Star Wars Theory etc do. They just nitpick everything, even if what they are saying could easily be applied to the prequels. They are not only haters but hypocrites too.
Do you and the other hate-tubers ever get tired of hating everything?
Come on now Fred, it’s okay to crack a smile
I hope you can find some happiness in your life dude 😅
Damn I wish I could take my view back, I didn't know you were gonna just hate watch this. Very forced complaints, and ignorance of what is going on just so you can hate on it smh
It's clear that you've joined the trend of nitpicking about everything. If Lucas made an identical episode, he would scream with joy. It's a pity because I liked watching you.
Did he cry like that during his kenobi reactions aswell?
Torbin is the smartest character. He drank the poison to get the fuck out of this show
LOL!!!!
Factssssssss...
I don’t get how you can blame him for disliking the episode and his takes on the show. He’s completely right about it not having the energy and feel of what Star Wars used to have, sure he may be nitpicking about certain things but why shouldn’t he? It’s obvious the show runners don’t know Star Wars or care about it and are purposely throwing the fans under the bus. So why should he defend it? It’s an objectively bad series which fails at every part of creating a compelling story and Is filled with lore breaking parts. If anything he’s going easy on it with criticism.
Usually a fan of your work but you went into this one with an immature negative biased mentality. I don't care for the acolyte at all but this video is just lame and ridiculously nitpicky and hateful
You’re letting the hate consume you Skyman. Just don’t watch it
The intro was perfect 😂
I mean.. if you really wanna hate the show you will hate the show i guess
I luaghed at this guy saying, "I could write this episode" and "OH IF THEY SAY SITH IN THIS EPISOOOODE" OK MAN CHILD, CHILL THE EFF OUT; don't watch it anymore LMAO btw we don't even know what rank he is in the Sith
I'm actually glad they went with Qimir as the Sith even if it was so obvious, even he joked to Mae about how obvious it was. I was so worried they were going to reveal one of the twins mother's as the Sith. Especially when Osha told Yord her mother had those abilities.
What if Qimir ends up being a "Force-trans" version of the mother?
@@kevindunne1009all right dude I think you need to get off the internet and interact with real people if that's where your head goes with everything
Sorry man, but it just seems like you came in with the thought you were gonna hate it and just continued without valid reason. First you say that there's no weight and it doesn't feel earned. After how incredible Jecki performed you just shrug it off saying that the show is trying to hard.
I'm just so disappointed in you. You never gave it a chance, you wanted to hate just to hate. Go watch the things you like, instead of hating on other things.
I hate it when people still get angry at a show while an episode is actually freaking good just because the show gets a lot of hate because it wasn’t that good but when it is they still go that same route because it gets views I guess but still. It was cool.
This sith is either the apprentice to tenebrous and hes wants an apprentice like Sidious had Maul while he was apprentice to Plaguies and he dies.And Tenebrous finds Plagueis and Venamis or hes from an lineage outside banes
There will not be a Tenebrous. He is not canon, only Plagieus is so it's up to them to decide who Mr. P's master was
@@DarkRaven40011 hes is canon apparentl since 2015 but if they had any sense or love for the project they should have made it something to do with him.But i suspect its a random new sith.
Why keep watching if you hate it?
Because he is a truly fan Who see and enjoy all about star wars
@@christianruiz3354 he’s talked extensively about how he doesn’t enjoy any of this. He doesn’t like it
Bro your intro killed me 😂
I used to enjoy the enthusiaum from you in everything you watched. It's really sad to see youi're not enjoying this show or Star Wars in general. This episode was awesome but it seems you were to focused on talking trash about it through the whole episode.
With his summary at the end he just sounds like a SWT fanboy
I'm not sure why you even posted this. Like, you clearly didn't have any fun, it's all an act or you really like making other people feel really down.
why would I watch a reaction to sth I didn't like?
Maybe you make more money this way, but it's bad promotion for your channel. Probably won't watch any more of your videos.
Is this the Nitpciks R Us channel? Yet missing deep cuts...Tourist!
There's also the Nitpickis Theory
The Jedi in the beginning of the episode waving their lightsabers around at nothing towards the left, when qimir was towards the right fighting different Jedi was hilarious😂
At this point bro, you’re just hate watching it. If the choreography was shit, you would have pointed out how bad the choreography was if the choreography was good, which In this case it is, you now say it wasn’t earned. There is no winning with you. If at this point, you can’t even enjoy a lightsaber duel like you would a no stakes not earned “The Old Republic” duel cinematic, then just stop torturing yourself. Stop hate watching it.
Are you gonna complain like a baby the whole video
Stop complaining every two seconds man. "Oh those trees should have been on fire". Waah waah womp womp. You never had any intention of being open minded, you came into it with negativity and left with more negativity.
Also floating with the force is not a new thing. Dooku has done it before. And him being a Sith is not canon breaking, he literally said he has to kill them all because they discovered him.
Someone who understands right here^^^^✅. They cry about anything minor they can find rather than watching the series. The prequels have a lot of things wrong with them but don’t bring that name in vain or suffer the consequences you will.😂
We need more negativity about this show. Dooku flew in an animated show, not live action, big difference. No more toxic positivity
@@frenlyfren so toxic negativity is the response? It's a canon animated show, get over it.
This guy is sitting here for 25 minutes complaining about every little detail he sees on screen, how is that not toxic?
@@Meowtro No, real negativity, the kind you back up with real criticism. The show isn't cannon, it breaks cannon. Critiquing the show thoroughly is more refreshing than glazing over the issues.
This dude has standard. We cant just accept the bullshit given to us by Disney
24:50 Well think about it... they dissed George's ideas ever since they bought it from him. This is all proof that they just want to do their own thing and want nothing to do with George... ironically.
I actually don't think he's a sith at all, Qimir says You "might" call me a Sith. I think he's a Knight of Ren or even the Original Ren. Why I think this? Kylo's theme played seconds into the episode and I think it played at the end as well
The knights existed back then?
@@betafitness They could, there's no canon source that says they couldn't be active during then. Wookieepedia says they were founded by 3 ABY since that was the first chronological appearance of them via the Crimson Dawn comics.
@AlphaLeader42 that's sick. I had no idea. I really haven't gotten much into the comic or books. But I don't know, a knight seems to be far-fetched.
@@betafitness not a knight but the original Ren was my rhought
@@AlphaLeader42 that would be cool. I am interested to see where they take this.
Blind wave and Kyle katarn thank you for not hating just for the sake of hating. Bro can’t give credit where credit is due I thought this fight was better than the sidious vs all the masters in episode 3. I haven’t really followed this show since after the second episode but I’ve been waiting for the saber fights and watching this episode I was pulled in everything aside.
What a disgrace this channel has become. Didn't even give it a chance because you don't like the person making it
There are no words...
This is definitely one of the TV shows of all time.
Your hatred has blinded you!
I cant when you say" They tried to do something cool, but its just swinging as fast as they could.
Bro, thats sick to say.
If you say this, its just non disputable proof, you are hater and its just dumb.
It’s insane how this reaction is really just for the clicks. Yord dies and your reaction is “what is this show is it meant to inspire kids” as if other Star Wars content hasn’t had any fucked up deaths.
They really are just looking for other ways to get annoyed and it's obvious.
Wearing an episode 1 shirt where someone gets cut in half is the irony
"It’s insane how this reaction is really just for the clicks." Thanks captain.. That would be a reaction channel.
@@takura187 judging by your recent comments on this channel it’s clear that you’ll defend this guy no matter what. Can’t you see the guy is not even being authentic in his reaction? And he’s not hiding it.
@@CheesySalmon tl;dr
I nearly fell of my chair when you said clever writing!!
I’m honestly quite surprised that you didn’t like the saber fights, honestly think they’re the best since the prequels.
Bro tries wayyy to hard to hate this show Lol
Yup. A shame too. I used to really look forward to his reactions. Now it's just another guy whining.
He also says none of the shows are good but in his old reactions he was quite positive to the majority of the shows so I don't understand where this change into extremely negativity came from. Even when he was negative he did in a way that constructive. It's very disappointing
@@CometStar100It's because the Fandom as a whole had become much more negative lately. And it gets more views
The acolyte is so good, one of the best lightsabre fights in stars wars history, that was amazing,i dont know what is your problem is or maybe you are deluded lol
I feel you went in with such a negative attitude and have already decided what you think of this series as a whole. There's no chance for you to enjoy this
Because it’s all bad
@@ComradeCommissarYuriah yes, the ignorant opinion of a white male.
This was a legit good episode. full stop.
another one that just follow the trend of hating.
Sorry, man. I used to like watching these. But it seems you've made up your mind early, and now everything has to be complained about no matter how cool it might be to someone with an unbiased view. Complaining about flames (or lack thereof) in the middle of a lightsaber fight, for example... Can you just sit back and enjoy anything anymore without prejudgment?
Feels like youve gotten away from actually reacting and just turned to criticizing the entire time. Its a tough watch, and youre one of my favorites.
You are hating simply for the sake of hating. This is one of the best choreographies ever seen in Star Wars and you are saying stupid things simply because you hate those who do it
What is wrong with you? Call yourself a Star Wars fan?! Some of the best Star Wars action we’ve seen since the prequel trilogy and all you can to is moan moan moan. I’ve seen how you react normally to this sort of thing like a true fanboy… it’s almost like you’ve been paid off by Nerdrotic or something to back his anti Disney agenda.
I always liked your reactions but I really completely disagree with your opinion of this series.
You're letting your hate consume you. You can't like the prequels and talk about charisma, storytelling, and emotion. The prequels are all wooden acting, no emotion, and 30 minutes long ridiculous duels of people doing ballet and flipping around.
This guy is no Star Wars fan. What a 🤡. The show isnt good, but the fights and episode was fire. People complain just to complain.
Maybe if they didn't try to hype this mid fight as "better than the Phantom Menance" then people wouldn't care as much 🤷
@@KaneMeadowsGaming It's at the same level. You're just a sore loser.
Your opening was great !!! The acolyte will forever be known as fly-lo-ren, the fan made flop...
I'm extremely happy to see Skyman getting COOKED in the comments. Episode 5 has really shown who's putting on a facade and just going into each episode trying to hate it. Glad people are seeing this.
Hey Skyman, nobody is forcing you to watch this. But I get it, you get money, so you gotta keep pretending to hate. Cool man.
Also, saying Phantom Menace is "perfection" while hating on this show is just the most fucking ironic thing I've seen. Cmon dude. 😂😂
That intro was AMAZING
25 minutes of whining and complaining.. very entertaining
More entertaining than the whole show.
@@OxxotrOxxotro i mean sure but i don’t find watching a grown man cry and ramble about a show that he can just turn off entertaining
