Lee Jung-jae deserved a far better Star Wars show than this.
Everyone deserved a better star wars show. This was $180M wasted on repressed middle aged woman wank material.... with SW cosplay.
That scene was epic and that is all I have ever seen from this actor.
Everyone deserves a better star wars than this..
Luckily he won't be able to tell it's shit...
@@ArionNoblewhat scene? everything was kinda mid
I don't care that a lightsaber whip originated in legends. It was stupid then, and it's stupid now.
Agreed
Hence other variants of the whip continuously being used that were non lightsaber. It didn't work so they stopped quick
It's even worse when you consider that this series is the result of significant reshoots.
Yeah, a lightsaber whip makes zero sense. It’s just more dumb stuff.
Dollars to donuts, it's how "Tagalong" got that scar, though...
Justice for Lee Jung Jae
I would love to know the back story on how he took this role and what he thought when he read the script for the first time 🤔
It seems he's gonna be like another Baylon Skoll: a wonderful actor with a great potential character arc, wasted as a prop for the boring, vapid characters around him.
"Hardwalls McButch". I literally can-not😂....
I seriously have no idea how Headlands wife was allowed to be in this. She has got to be one of the worst actresses I have ever seen. Has she ever acted before?
She got in because she is Headland's wife
Nepotism. They had to find somewhere to put a big chunk of the 180 million the show cost.
You even had to ask?
NO idea?! It's called nepotism.
Right up there with Squid Game guy.
That scene was just awful.
It's like giving praise to a kid polishing a turd.
Well Done.
Jedi lesbians can make even a lightsaber soft.
😂😂😂
Good one 😂😂
"How does it feel?"
"Well, I was hoping it would be a bit bigger... and fleshed out. The ribbing doesn't seem to be for anyone's pleasure though."
It was a snooze fest. The writers have no idea what they're doing.
You only think that because this is clearly Fifty Shades of Star Wars lyte.... And I am here for it. I love how Disney is promoting sexy Asian men. They them wrong in the early 00s with Romeo Must Die - Jet Li wasn't allowed to kiss Aaliyah. This making up for lost times
Laughed rather hard with the amount of times Osha could have escaped the "unknown planet", but didn't cause enter random thirst trap.
He even TELLS her she can leave...but, damn, she just got one look at his Sithness and she's totally dehydrated.
The Alcolyte, a perfect cure for insomnia.
This dude is pissed. Disney knows what it's doing. GIRLS LOVE Osha x Qimir dynamic. I didn't understand Reylo but THIS, I SHIP
3:35 A strong female leader not telling obvious and important information to what appear to be a group of her male underlings? Now I'm not saying this was intentional but anyone else getting Last Jedi vibes? Maybe about a certain purple haired Vice Admiral?
💯🎯Yes…
the first time i saw TLJ i thought that holdo was going to turn out to be a first order spy or something. thats how bad her actions are in that movie. is it any wonder that poe leads a mutiny against her when her plan is seemingly just to put the resistance on a death march?
Yep, and it was just as infuriating then. What kind of terrible leader withholds information out of spite, especially if she knows he's a hothead prone to ignoring orders.
Classic example of what JSG talks about, with losing respect for the characters.
@@Ryan-jl7jz I thought Holdo was going to be an incompetent leader way out of her depth that Poe was going to have to take over to stop her bad decisions from getting them all killed.
Imagine the reverse. Feminists would lose their shit if the male characters kept putting women down with actual misogyny.
More JJ Abrams disciples. Mystery boxes all over the place in lieu of good storytelling.
Ugh, yeah, I am so tired of it. It's so lazy. So cheap. Sure one or two "MBs" is fine, not one after another. Or, don't tease with a MB, then reveal it next episode. Hell, *later* in the same episode.
This show has no point because the writers do not even understand the material
But Star Wars saved Leslie Hedlands life…
@@josebrown5961 lol exactly! This show was written for everyone who said “yas queen” when she made that absolute cringe statement
They don’t even seem to understand basic storytelling. It’s a fucking outrage how low their standards are.
The show most assuredly has a point. The problem is that most people are looking at the acolyte as though it is a Star Wars story, it’s not even a story, let alone a Star Wars story, and it’s already made its point.
A lightsaber whip is probably the most r*arded thing I've ever seen. Cuz from what we see of whips it's a weapon that is supposed to wrap around the user's body would a lightsaber whip you can't even do that because you run the risk of literally slashing yourself apart
Glad someone's not ignoring the stupidity of something just because it existed pre disney.
It was stupid in legends and it's stupid in canon.
There are lightwhips in the Star Wars books so while they are still stupid, lightwhips are canon.
@@Degarth still doesn't mean it's good
Same goes for double ended lightsabers. There's frequent contact with your own torso when you're striking with the opposite end
I know it’s tempting to think whip lady is going to be some kind of secondary villain but Admiral Holdo from The Last Jedi was clearly set up to be a villain as well only to be revealed as a huge hero. That’s just how they write what they think a strong woman acts like, and that says WAY more about them then it does those of us who hate this type of character.
Agreed. Every villain now needs a redemption arc - so even if Jedi Shrek woman does have evil intentions, they will flip it around (they did it in Obi Wan, Kylo Ren, Hux, Mando, etc). There are no truly evil villains (just like there is no good or evil in the SW universe)
That's because women in Disney shows aren't allowed to be evil. Misunderstood, misguided, or just stupidly gullible, sure. Not evil. Which is kinda insulting really, like saying no women is smart and driven enough to have her own goals.
I don't care what he is. Tell me what his motivation is first. They forgot to tell you about the characters.
I don't care about any of these people because I don't even know who they are. They show you the dead Wookie-Jedi and I didn't care.
I could have, but they didn't try.
They are trying to attract the modern audience, a.k.a. shippers and Twilight fans, so are you really surprised that good writing and acting never made the list of priorities?
why are you watching it? seriously?
@@out_spocken Im not, i've been watching EFAP.And I get the gist of whats going on. They spent very little time on Maes Motivation from what I understand. I did watch the first one and I got to fire in space and said "Nah"
@@Invalidcookie-bv4cx cool cool lol. This is the first tv show...especially a SW one that I haven't even bothered to even consider watching. I'm just going to assume all disney shows are shit and stick to reading books or watching reruns of non disney shows.
Amazing how anyone can watch this beyond ep1. Glad you bailed out quickly!!
Master squid game is a good actor, i wont deny that
Aside from Jedi Master Squid Game and Smilo Ren, every male character in this show looks like they’ve been free-basing a soy/estrogen combo.
In the back snorting Macha powder 🥴
anyone else notice that jecki is missing 3 lightsaber wounds? lmao
Not enough budget for this detail of the death investigation. Of a "main-ish" character we were supposed to care about. Oh well.
That's been fixed with sticky-backed plastic. One of the stipulations is they have to use up the Blue Peter leftovers. 🤡
they clearly shot scenes on different order,i bet Yords death was shot seperately.
That helmet just looks ridiculous.
Smilo Ren killing all those Jedi might've actually meant something if we'd seen it happen from Sol's perspective. Watching as his friends and padawan are killed one by one, trying to save them and failing, not even being able to give them a proper burial. Something like that could make a Jedi master question everything he thought he knew about the force. Unfortunately, the showrunners are so inept they couldn't even keep track of Sol during the fights so he kept disappearing and teleporting.
The jedi killed the witches in episode 3. Saved you the time. Thats the big reveal.
Maybe this is the 40k fan in me, but my response is unironically, "And why is that a bad thing? They're obvious darksiders obsessed with power who literally were hostile toward the Jedi and outright mindfucked a padawan to try and make point. The fact the entire coven was unlikeable and arrogant has me _hoping_ the Jedi wipe them out.
@@internetzenmaster8952xD Listen they....were misunderstood and showing aggression is totally normal
@@internetzenmaster8952 sir this is a fanfic
🤣 Imperium of Man style
We are seeing money laundering in real time with this show. There is no other explanation for why this show cost $180 million for 8 episodes.
Padawan Mog gleans enough for an exposition dump and thinks Sol is responsible, but can't tell that Sol fought Qimir on three separate occasions. Did he think Sol was fighting himself? - Worst Padawan of the Year.
After watching friends she had known for years get murdered right in front of her eyes, Osha dons a helmet throwing away years of Jedi training in the Force in just under 48 hours because she got a glimpse of a Sith saber. - Worst Padawan of the Century.
🤣🤣 That last sentence about the 'beauty shot' was perfect!
Watching this after watching Alteori’s review is the funniest shit ever! Both are like “this is bad” but in totally different extremes
Oh man, yeah, came here after finishing hers.
Sith Lord Darth Pingas
Thank you for your videos. Excellent work.
I have dated Asian men. I'm just glad that this feeds into my Asian man fetish. Keep it coming, Disney
It won’t get to the point, it will just come to an end.
Even the worst Star Wars projects before this were sane enough to not try and emulate Vader's breathing in any way. There's beyond no point because it's something so defining of Darth Vader, and Darth Vader is that iconic. You don't go anywhere near that. This show is so full of itself it actually tries, and it's as dumb as I could've ever imagined.
But yeah, the major disappointment is that the actor who plays Sol is being wasted on a terrible story and he's trying so damn hard. The major positive? He needs to get more work in more stuff and will probably get it now if he wants it.
There's 2 episodes left and I still have no clue wtf the general story is supposed to be. And lets not even talk about the "mystery" that is nowhere to be found.
Remember: Money from other projects was reallocated from other projects like Willow and DoD for this show.
I would 100% watch a Lee Jung-Jae show if he was in his own. He’s too good for this one, especially given his potential with Squid Game.
Holy shit, i finally know why the sith guy looks familiar, he was in the show the good place
Jacksonville Jaguars is a path that often leads to the darkside
No, the pay-off won’t be worth it.
"Its Lesbos!!" I love that subtle joke you slipped in there at the start
I wouldn't assume he knew the entire time. The way it was staged it was like the hamster told him.
The power of one!
The power of two!
The power of money laundering!
That last sentence, tho 😂😂😂 JSG never disappoints!
Another great video Guy!
this cost 180 million and its sh*t, godzilla minus 1 only cost 20 million and it is peak
Imagine a Jedi master teaching his apprentice how to use a lightsaber whip on a spaceship. 🤣
The truth about all of this is that WE are in The Bad Place. We're being tortured for all eternity.
Atleast this episode had 3 plotlines
and double the plotholes
three times the crap smeared and stretched out over the same length of time is not a good thing. lol
Oh no, whatever shall I do. *Watchs Afro Samurai and Evil season 4*
Impressed to see you still watching this, despite it not being made for you as the target audience
It's obvious that headless went to the Jar jar abrams school of movie making, lots of 'mystery boxes' with none getting opened.
Got a feeling they won't really tell us what happened, until next season.
The scene looks like Mr. Weinstein flirting with an intern..lol
I have watch filler arcs in anime with less filler then this show.
Is Yoda on vacation or something when all this is going on during his watch??
Rofl.
"He's the same age as her." - Right because especially in Star Wars, your eyes cannot deceive you.
"He claims to have gotten from his Jedi master." - He never says this. Try watching the episode.
Time to fire it up for time 5 and actually watch it this time.
I'll bet the last episode will have a cliffhanger at the end just to piss everyone off
Excellent work with Seul 🤩
8:41 more emotion on his in those few moments than all the other actors combined up until that point.
Having to watch this show involuntarily at work (home office, TV in the other room and Dad has the volume up high because of his tinnitus), I have to say this-
This show was a dumpster fire from the start. Now we're getting the REALLY good burn when it hits the half-dead crack babies hidden in the middle.
It should kill the careers of just about everyone except for Lee Jung-jae and perhaps a few other people below the line. Key grip wasn't too bad, I think.
Everyone that authorized this show-top to bottom-should be given a cardboard box and not allowed to work in entertainment beyond the concessions stand at a movie theater.
And this is my moderated opinion...
The only explanations I could come up with, is that:
- Qimir isn't being 100% honest about why he left - shock, I know- who would expect _that_ of a Sith???
- maybe he faked his death, to leave the Jedi
- &/ or record of Qimir's time as a Jedi/ Padawan was purged/ archived, whatever- & the access to the records are limited
Like you said; he doesn't look all that much older than the twins - unless GreenBean/ FemShrek (it's pretty obvious we're meant to think she's his former master) had the authority to forbid any talk about him, it makes little sense to have OccupationalHealth&Safety be ignorant of him...
1:46 because she’s the show runner’s wife
you bring up a good point this might have originally been an okay 1 off side movie that got stretched, padded and filled turning it into a show
02:18 - that is the most realistic part, her wife as a director did a lot of questionable things and no one said nothing 😂
Oooooooo this scar looks like a whip! I bet I know who his master was. 😂
The acolyte already got to its point, maybe you missed it.
That is the thing, this is the point now. This episode was literally changed to be a thirst trap episode. This is what it will be going forward.
This is where this is going.
Obi-Wan: "Anakin, Palpatine is evil."
Anakin:"From my perspective, the Jedi are evil."
Lesyle Headland:"OMG. George is right."
And now we have The Acolyte.
But will it get to the point before we forget to care? Wait, who am I kidding, we don't care.
Vanestra or whatever she's called is probably the Sith Master with the other guy being her Darth Maul.
If you watched this on D+ four times it is a great victory for them. Whatever their reported numbers are it makes me think it is actually much smaller. No awake or sane person would watch more than once.
Ooh look - a Ferengi whip. You'd think 30 years of advances in special effects would look better.
The guy is obviously a Dark Jedi, not a Sith. His story confirmed it. He wouldn't even know what the Sith code is.
Do you think the former Assistant of a sexual predator knows that or cares.
@@lifemattersnot You make a good point.
That part drives me up the wall. This show is supposed to be about THE SITH. _WHERE ARE THE SITH?!_
You can't have a straight lightsaber.
It’s more entertaining making fun of the show than watching it 🤣
Hey now, that gnarly scar on Smilo's back is clearly going to be supercalifragilisticexpialidociousally massively important to the plot and explain how the Jedi are great big doo doo heads.
lol That ending got me
You know they counted your multiple times watching this as a success 😏
lol that parting burn at the end about the beauty shot
Hey there are TWO more to go...
In what I am sure most storylines won't be dealt with. Because you know keep it open for season 2? Yeah as if that season ever comes out.
This show... Will the Jedi Master FINALLY tell the story? And will it be worth it, will Osha and the Sith bone? And who is left to even watch it?
Next time on dragon ball z
Bruh same! Took three times to finish this episode!
LOL @ pulling faces = "incredible acting"
There will be no payoff, believe me !
Was not ready for the abs comment. But honestly very true
8:20 thank you for pointing this out.. seen numerous videos oblivious to the fact that HE KNOWS!! he’s not just gonna turn idiot all of a sudden. Just playing along till the right time.. while also expressing what he wishes he could’ve said to her all those years ago.. hence the awkward hug
This is the main reason I switched to gundam because the good outweighs the bad shows like the original series, 08th Ms team, star dust memory and wing
I've been hearing about how great jedi squid game is for a while now. And I'm not watching this show... it's not for me as they say. But that clip you let play of said jedi squid game sold me on his acting. That just made me wonder what was going on in the story. Thank you for that. Always a good thing.
You know, if this was a show with actually credible production staff (I'd include the actors, but not all of them are terrible - why, yes. I never bothered to learn any of these characters names. How could you tell?), I'd be under the impression that Headlands girlfriend is going to end up as the actual Acolyte that Smileo Ren is looking for, and was only in the Jedi Order to sow discourse and misinformation.
However, we all know that kind of plot line would never end up in Disney Star Wars. And, it wouldn't work anyway, because that level of dedication and planning would require an objective for the Sith, that would justify all of the actions and risks taken so far, which... Yeah, no. I got nothing. There has been NO indication so far that there is any reason for the Sith to be doing any of this, other than revenge for the lesbian space witches, that doesn't even make sense anyway.
You know what this show reminds me of? Frozen meets Kill Bill.
This could have been a really good movie or a show - Lee Jung-jae as a Jedi master sent to investigate a series of murders and realising it's his past haunting him. Three of his apprentices taken on the journey - a top student, a yonger so-so student with much to learn and a black sheep with inner conflict. Unfortunately, you can't get it right from the wrong hands.
Imma chuck this one in the “not canon” bin along with every other attempt by disney to milk star wars
This show has no fucking idea what it's doing and I'm amazed that it's still getting to the point
Does anyone familiar with the Sith actor know if he has an issue with range? Or does he normally just play a "hot guy" role? His soft, calm, smooth, and soothing voice is better suited for the thirst trap role he plays in this episode, but he's been speaking that way the whole time and I just don't think it works for his character.
It feels like the intent is to portray him as being so confident, knowing, and calculated that he doesn't need to emote, but it doesn't read that way, nor does it make him more mysterious in an intriguing way. He just softly says in a way that makes me ask, "Is he 'acting' too hard or not enough?"
Looks like Aboleth is his master... LMAO !!!
It may be galactic Lunesta, it certainly isn't addicting!
Asking for JSG to show his beauty shot 😢
/s
He doesn't say the cortosis blocks the force he says the helmet helps mute or block the senses so that he can or anybody wearing it can concentrate on their connection with the Force
So would a tin hat then? 🤔
Thirst wars
This is "art" done by people selling a project instead of a story.
Back in the day, filler was because TV writers had a week to get the next episode out, and a set number of episodes to crank out each season. Sometimes the creative juices just didn't flow, so the writers dropped the main plot line for an episode to explore some character quirk or a flailing plot thread that no longer fit in he main narrative.
Streaming service though... you can literally make the story any length of time, and you can air whenever you like. There's not really the same dead air phenomena you had in the old days. So why do filler?
Basically, all the costing for a project is done up front - we hire x number of actors for x number of episodes, with these projected ratings which translates to this much subscription revenue.
You'll add some key visuals and basic plot points to the proposal, but you don't go too in depth, because that's hard work, and you're not working for free. You'll do that once the working capital comes in after you're greenlit.
So when youve convinced the studio/investors to give you some money, you start writing the story. Then you realise a couple of things: your story is actually pretty stupid, and can reasonably be told in about half an hour - you probably should have sold it as an episode of Mandalorian instead.
But you've got all this money, and you've told all your colleagues about this great show you're in charge of, and those actors you were having fun convincing to do your show, or being courted in return, are expecting their contracfs honoured.
So how do you spin this out? Filler and mystery boxes. Maybe you'll get lucky like the Five Nights at Freddys guy and the internet will piece together a coherent narrative for you.
The acolyte was literally nothing more than "what if two sisters had to pick between the jedi and sith, and they picked the opposite sides?" That was it. Old Star Trek would have done this in an hour, and Mandalorian kept their similar Jedi vs Mandalorian really short whilst they dripped in Luke Skywalker fan service.
This is the result of sales people thinking they're creative, and suddenly realising they really don't have any artisitc vision. Hence the identity politics to add "depth and weight" and the filler because they cash flow spreadsheet to follow.
1:20 dawg you are way too fucking old for that vernacular 😭
I instructed my dog to play bite my arm if I doze off during this episode.
Nothing happened for all of $22 million dollars (I said that with my pinky to my mouth and an evil laugh).
they are trying so hard to make the jedi look bad and the sith to be misunderstood.
It’s interesting, even fascinating, but new and unique, it isn’t.
They literally had Tagalong, pull a Me-Too moment, before anything else he’s done except kidnap her, and I guess clean her up some; maybe?
I mean these are the cleanest people ever. Those bodies didn’t even have a spec of dirt on them.
X-23 looked like she just died, an hour or less prior. 😄
It takes a master to say volumes without saying anything at all. Lee Jung-jae deserves better than this. I didn't even know who he was before this show, but that moment of his is beautiful.
