The Acolyte starts off a hundred years before the end of revenge of the Sith.
The premise is that the Jedi have lived in peace for hundreds of years, until now, where a dark side user grows their powers in the shadows.
The show begins with Mae, the evil twin hell bent on killing 4 Jedi masters on some crusade for reasons we don’t know yet, enters a village bar and challenges carry Anne moss to the death, she is bested until she throws a dagger at the bar keep to which Jedi trinity saves, leaving her guard down to die by a dagger.
I was surprised to learn that daggers are more lethal than lightsabers after the Kenobi show and how Anakin’s lightsaber through Reva’s chest wasn’t effective, and then Vader’s lightsaber through adult Reva, as well.
We see Mae’s lightside twin, Osha who wakes up on a ship, when her buddy brags about the wild night he and the crew mates had on Nar Shaddaa, nar shaddaa is like Star Wars Vegas. Not much law, crime world ran by the Hutts.
Neimodians no longer have their asian accent that George Lucas had all throughout the prequels, maybe these guys are from a different part of the galaxy…
The Jedi arrive on the ship and led by Jedi knight Yord and another Jedi, who fills the audience on what the story is. Osha left the order 6 years ago, she was found in a fire when she was around 8, and then they accuse her of killing a Jedi master. But of course, it was her twin.
They take her in a prison transport for questioning to Coruscant.
It’s nice to see coruscant again, as Master Sol trains younglings, when he speaks with Master Vernestra.
The backstory is, that Sol saved Osha and saved her from a fire on her home on Brendok as a kid, he doesn’t believe that she killed the Jedi Master Trinity.
They decide to keep this possibility hush hush as if it were to leak, their political enemies could use it against them.
Osha is on the droid ship, it eventually goes down, and she escapes, after saving one of the last inmates, he takes the last pod and she crash lands on some ice planet.
As Master sol observes his former apprentice’s hologram, we see how he still has attachment to her. He’s like a very weak version of Qui-Gon Jinn. Kind of does his own thing, but not as confident or stoic as Qui-Gon. He recognizes the Jedi aren’t always right.
Osha wakes up and she has a vision of Mae and herself when they were young, during the fire on their home of Brendok. They speak with each other and I feel like there’s some force connection dyad thing going on between them to facilitate this.
Sol gathers two other Jedi, Yord and dafnee keene’s character Jecki, who is a Padawan which is indicated with her braid.
He tells the story of Osha and Mae, revealing that they are twin sisters, and that Mae started a fire when they were kids, this fire killed their whole family.
They find Osha on the ice planet, she tells them she didn’t kill the Jedi Master, Sol believes her, and they take her with them.
Mae walks by the beach as she comes to her master, who is saying a Jedi is essentially invincible to metal or lightsabers, except against an acolyte, who fights without a weapon, and just stealths their way through everything.
An acolyte kills the dream.
Overall I thought was meh, I’m not invested in the characters yet, so it’ll take some time. You can’t just start killing people off and expecting the viewer to be totally invested in the death of these characters. You have to spend an episode or 2 to get used to them, build their story, let us connect with them, then in episode 3 or 4 or something, they start dropping like flies, and everything just takes off super fast because of the exposition from the first 2 episodes.

Them: "You're not a real Star Wars fan."
Also them: "Remember that time when Anakin destroyed the Death Star?"
Natalie Portman is on video saying she knew nothing about Star Wars when she took the role. The guy ur talking about is just an actor. It really doesn’t matter whether he knows Star Wars or not. His job is to perform, that’s it. The directors and screenwriters need to know Star Wars.
I keep hearing people say that but I don't get the joke. Could you explain it?
@@three_mr_three Anakin wasn't the one to destroy the death star, it was luke skywalker. People are making fun of him for fumbling something that basic lol
But Natalie Portman didn't run her mouth and acted as if she knew.
If he didn't know he should have just been quiet, but for him to say it multiple times is honestly just embarrassing.
This gives the same vibes that rings of power gave when all the actors cared about is checkin boxes and hating the creator of the ip.
I specially loved the part where Neo said, Trinity if you die in the Matrix, you also die in Star Wars. Best line ever.
lol this is hilarious 😂😂 thanks for the chuckle
I laughed when the first Jedi died within a few seconds by a blade to the chest. i guess i'm haunted after seeing BOTH Reva and Sabine surviving a lightsaber going through them!
At this point they're doing it on purpose. They know it pisses the fans off
Then later claim that steel will not kill a Jedi. I think this is just Headland proving that she cannot remember what she wrote, and that logic is something to be avoided at all costs.
@@joshuaedwards4927 You could be on to something
It might have been poisoned
I hate when you guys say this when people survive gunshot wounds to the brain depending on where the bullet enters and exits, caliber, and angle, both Sabine and Reva got hit in the lower stomach or side stomach area, indara literally took a knife to the heart
Tell me how Trinity dies by a small knife to the boob and Reva can take a full on lightsaber to her midsection! Do these people at disney understand anything?
For real lmaooo. Once again my boy qui gon done dirty
Nope
If it hit a vital organ like let’s say the heart. Yeah… she dead. 😂
@@GamingLovesJohnBut a lightsaber through the chest is perfectly survivable for Reva? Sure thing, clown.
*once as a small kid and once as an adult. so twice lmao
" You know, if OSHA seen that, it's a $10,000 fine and they can shut down the work site "
And she'll do it too.
😂😂😂
She’s a force the Jedi have never had to face before. If she joins Mae then no Jedi’s permits are safe any longer.

I don’t care what they told you in school. Anakin Skywalker blew up the Death Star.
Twice.
Wonder if that guy heard that from his grandma
Yeah my grandma told me
😂😂😂😂
@EnsignRedshirtRicky Twice? No definitely 4 times. He was resurrected.
What I did like is that, they got to the point where osha was innocent and had a sister that was still alive causing the murders instead of stretching that out for multiple episodes
True, that was actually refreshing.
A lot of people to pander to, no time for all that
Yeah but the problem is that already the premise is stupid.
Lightsabers aren't deadly but god forbid you get stabbed in the chest by a tiny dagger.
Bro the dagger went through her heart obviously it was gonna kill her
@@didierb97and a lightsaber burning your insides isnt😂
@@GamingWithKJ_YTLet’s ask Maul.
@@anthonyt5 well maul had his lower extremities cut off leaving him paralyzed, not the same as having a lightsaber through your chest
@@GamingWithKJ_YT Ask yourself what organs you imagine a Dathomorian would have after bring cut in half?
That knife is the secret to stopping Palpatine from somehow returning
Thank you for that. Lmao
😂😂👍🏾
That knife is so special, it hit at a perfect 0° angle while being thrown from the side (I'd say at an 60° angle).
Oh, smart .... let's send a regular jedi knight to apprehend someone who killed a jedi master. Makes alot of sense.
This is big-brain country
How much you wanna bet disney got rid of the niemoidians accent because they thought it was "offensive"

@@markwhiteside7618The amount of “people” that are here though vehemently defending this objectively garbage product actually concerns me. How do we ever hope for a decent product when we have these people as “fans”. They’re not intelligent enough to realize the near constantly degrading quality of the IP. They use emotion to make sense of the world, which is why having a jelly bean bag cast trumps actual good writing. What do we do?
Force using, twins, huh? Never seen that in Star Wars before.
Just wait until you learn how they were conceived....

WoW! An ACTOR said that ? that must mean that the show is bad then ! .... -_-
@@sarah42e Star Wars show created by people who aren't even real Star Wars fans... Guaranteed to be terrible. The worst part about that is he was actually saying who the real Star Wars fans were and he also said "anakin blew up the death star" twice...

Fat Jedi had me reeling - Qui Gon Chins😂
lol, i haven't watched it yet but unless it was an old jedi or something they shouldn't be fat. Whole purpose of the Jedi is discipline, where's the discipline in eating pies every day and becoming a slow ass lardo.
Osha : Hi I'm OSHA I would like to see every one's PPE and safety paperwork.
This is all I could think about every time someone said her name lol
Then proceeds to hang off the side of a freighter…

All I kept thinking about. Why didn't somebody pick a different name for her. So dumb.
@@John_Locke_108 apparently it has Sanskrit roots, according to den of nerds
I enjoyed watching the guy from squid games act circles around the diverse high school drama club around him
I think I only enjoyed Sol and his padawan because they seemed to somewhat have a personality
Facts
@@amarcellus1714 yeah the padawan wasn't bad either, but she didn't have much to do
He sucked too or it’s the script idk
How would you feel if he was around all white male jedi instead?
People need to realise nothing wrong with representation but when it’s forced to make a social point and plagues the story it’s a problem.
Especially when it's made by someone who helped Harvey Weinstein for years
How did it “Plague” the story? Didn’t feel that.
@@ikew3150 you are definitely in the minority seeing it that way
How is it forced?
@@ikew3150 It was more just a point generically but if you watch videos of the build up and comments by certain members, executives etc of LucasFilm and the Star Wars brand it’s evident it’ll grow strong in this series.
**Palpatine saw the interview**
"Anakin. I told you it would come to this! The Jedi are taking over!!" - Palpatine
Carrie-Anne Moss was probably the only reason I had to watch this and they kill the golden goose in the 1st episode. WTF
I didn't fall for it. The put Luke at the end of one of their projects, and I fell for that.
That's literally the whole reason why they shown her off so much and you fell for it 😂
I don't think she is dead yet, she hasn't played anything for years, so I can't really believe that she just came to play for one episode just to die in the first episode. Maybe she will be that Sith or Dark Side user. Or maybe she dies in the first episode, but in the future they will do a spin-off about her in the past before the acolyte. But we will definitely see her again.
Crazy how good the visuals are, imagine if Kenobi had this budget.
What really took me out of the story is that she calls her former master by his first name.
I didn’t watch, so I don’t have context for your comment, but didn’t Anakin always just call him Obi-wan? I guess maybe that was to imply a more brotherly relationship.
@@PeaceOrUtterDestruction yeah, this was more of a teen apprentice to a renowned jedi master relationship.
I can excuse that by implying they had a more relaxed relationship than most masters/apprentices. This would make sense considering Sol's connection to her (maybe she reminds him of a more loving time in the order).
Are they? Everything looks so pristine and flat
She’s not a Jedi any more
Honestly, its not even really that bad, its just OK. I saw a post on reddit which sums it up perfectly: "Its like if Ubisoft made a Star Wars show"
Damn that is so accurate 😂
I agree, it's not perfect, but it's enjoyable
Ubisoft is great at world building but the plot sometimes lack depth. That makes sense.
Yep that's exactly it. 😂
Yeah it’s honestly not as bad as I thought it would be, but it’s nothing special
2:21 who for some odd reason has the exact same hairstyle as her twin that she has not seen in years 🤦♂️
That's not as weird as you think it is, twins do stuff like that without even knowing they have a twin.
May has longer hair. The bangs are the only similarity.
This happens in real life too though
@@DeviIGundamcope
also def a plot to set up a jedi to be the suspect, just bc Mae doesnt know what the plot is don't make it not a plot
I like Sol, probably because I like Lee Jung-Jae, but this really feels like it should have been a comic instead of a $200M Disney show
I'm sorry but his acting was so bad. Although I realise the script and the acting direction being utter 💩 also plays a part.
@@msalc23 I disagree. If anything, he learned English pretty recently after Squid Games’s success so he can be in American projects like this one and I think you’re misconstruing that with bad acting.
@@ericlane3256 agree to disagree! I understand that he might be a new english speaker, nevertheless it’s not the accent but the delivery and the non verbal acting what I find off. I still think that it may be because of the direction and the script though, since I really liked him in Squid Game (saw it in korean 👌🏼)
@@msalc23 well you must hate the other cast because Lee Jung-Jae definitely carries. Idk, too soon to judge but I think he’s doing well.
"it couldn't have been Mae, i saw her die"
Literally next scene:
"It wasn't me, it was Mae!"
"I know"
@olympicpip9235 he didn't say I know. Sol said, "I believe you."
YUP
@Whoo_Boy functionally identical. Bad writing.
@@lolcats987654321 thats not entirely true, hearing someone you know and trust claim they're innocent can easily sway your opinion, that being said they should've definitely done better with the switch up
@@lolcats987654321 Kinda felt like Snyders "Martha" moment but better.
7:03 clearly the death of trinity is meant to be the launching point of the story. They did not treat it as something to be sad about but more of a mystery.
Idk how he misses stuff like this
Who cares the show is hot steaming dog dookie.
@@oXRaptorzXo😂Because it’s stupid.
@@ModernWelfare_ what is stupid. How?
@@oXRaptorzXoits ok man hes just trolling or something
i like how they accurately portray high republic at tail end though, the arrogance the unwillingness to admit something could go wrong
Yeah I feel like I'm back in time tbh, they've hit the era accurately for me
As a teenager I could never get enough of Star Wars. As a 30 year old man, I just want them to stop desecrating it’s corpse. It’s dead, leave it alone
So you’re telling me a stab from a lightsaber won’t kill ya even though they heat up your insides but a regular dagger (not even a vibro dagger) to the chest can?
This show is so stunning and brave.
4:33 that was the same planet where Bo Katan smacked Ashoka’s butt😂

Wait you actually watched the clone wars tv show? Good! 👍

For those freaking out about the space fire. Just remember that in Star Wars there is LITERAL SOUND IN SPACE throughout the entire series. All the explosions and sounds should not exist if we are being realistic. So a little fire on a ship should be the least of your worries.
Yep firefly kinda got it right,but I couldn't imagine star wars without sound in space those amazing tie fighter sounds so iconic,people really need to remember it's a space fantasy
Well Apollo 13's oxygen tank caught on fire and exploded
Also when the Executor's bridge is hit in Return of the Jedi, it burns until the ship plunges into the Death Star.
Carrie-Anne Moss is the lucky one as she doesn't have to be in this show anymore
@F0XRunner she'll be back probably in a flashback as there is a scene with her in the trailer that hasn't come up yet.
When they talk about an acolyte not needing a weapon, I interpreted that as like it’s not enough to just try to beat a Jedi in combat, you need to put them off balance and upset their connection to the force to make them vulnerable.
It’s more like destroying the dream and the core of the Jedi Code. The Sith did not defeat the Jedi via a duel but by corrupting the Republic, the institution the Jedi protected and defended for centuries. Thus, Order 66 happened. The Jedi’s greatest allies (Republic) became their greatest enemies (Empire). This broke many Jedi, such as Baylan Skoll, to the core and it made them become more vulnerable to the Dark Side. It’s psychological warfare: The war for the soul of the Galaxy (ex. Batman and Joker’s battle for the soul of Gotham).
I think the point is if you attack them with a weapon you don’t stand a chance. The idea is their arrogant and dogmatic, if you make them think they’re more powerful then you, they’ll lower their guard. It’s actually kinda a sick concept.
Its not a sith arrogance either its more of a superiority complex, like you’re a normal person and I’m a highly trained peace keeper of the Force.
The Siths at least according to Sidious should be so strong with The Force that they don't need physical weapons to beat the Jedi. That's why Sidious don't even have a lightsaber during Return of the Jedi. He doesn't need one to beat anyone he pleases.
The idiotic acolyte thinks she should literally beat her opponents with her fists and feet physically. That's totally missing the point. Though.... I don't know. The acolyte's idiotic master seems to also use a red lightsaber, so I don't really know what's his point.
@@ryankwon8785Yeah kind of like how Disney Star Wars is psychological warfare on the old fans. 🤣
@@VarjoFilosofiFor real bro, it’s just so dumb if you care to take the rose tinted glasses off and actually think about what’s happening on screen.
I had my reservations on this show, however so far, it doesn't suck.
Same. I'm not expecting some masterpiece but it looks significantly better than shows like Kenobi so far.
It's fresh because it's not as demented and incestous as making a story in the skywalker era. Filmmakers really don't like Lucas's story threads he left for some reason. They've had a lot of problems with them. This is fresh. This is new. And the characters were created from scratch. Refreshing!
They killed Trinity in the first episode?! 😂😂😂😂
I know, what a waste.. she should have been the main character..
As much as I like to hear some youtubes bash and complain about Star Wars for entertainment, I always come back to you to cleanse the pallette.
I feel like you look at these works and actually give them a fair chance, and fair review without bashing or negativity. Keep up the good work!
This show better than obi wan , and it’s set in a completely different time period, just enjoy something new and stop complaining about something every SW fan has been wanting to see
The issue is that this has nowhere to go, because the ending has to follow a particular real world woke ideology, so many well written endings have to be scrapped if they don't involve a specific ideological outcome.

Don't care
@@jaysondzikowski2924why are you replying then?
I'm an OG from 77, and I thought the show was very good and very well executed. Very good fight choreography, good effects, cool droids (chair droids, What?!) and ships. I'm looking forward to unfolding this mystery
I think both episodes are pretty solid. The Fighting choreography has impressed me very much
Did anyone else notice that they’re twins but the flashback of them as kids were two different kids?
The fact that a little metal knife can kill somebody instantly but multiple characters have been stabbed straight through vital organs with a lightsaber and survived sucks
I haven't watched your video yet, but from the comments, all I can say is, you guys are BORING. I'm against all the woke shit but I really don't see a problem in this show so far. Just watch and enjoy. The writing and style remind me of the prequels, and it definitely has potential. Quit whining and just enjoy.
Definitely doesnt remind me of the prequels. The first episode is alright, a few things that are a bit stupid but thats in all star wars tbf
Not all of us choose to eat slop,bro
I think you’ll be eating those words by the end of this series… it’s already looking bleak, and that’s just based on the first two episodes and some of the very, very interesting comments made by the horrible creature directing the show and the cast members.
@@paradox2210 I mean, the morality of the artist doesn't doesn't determine quality. Lovecraft was really racist, xenophobe and sexist and his books are relevant even to this day. Warren Ellis directed one of the best videogame adaptations and he sexually abused women by taking advantage of his position. There are many cuestionable people who participate in the things we like since always
@@oa-san53 thank you.
I have my reservations about this show.
It’s not as bad as Ahsoka but it’s pretty shit still so far.
I actually disagree with Theory and think episode 2 was better than 1 because the dialogue in 1 was absolutely abhorrent. Episode 2, the conversations felt a little more organic. There are a lot of logical flaws in the show (the prison escape and both instances of “hacking” things in these two episodes are incredibly eye rolling) and he’s right about Indara’s death carrying next to no weight. When I watched it and the camera sat on her death for a second I just went “ok, soooo?”. Like I couldn’t care less. I thought her actions were dumb and don’t know anything about her so it meant nothing to me other than metal blades are more powerful than lightsabers which is funny.
Still, it’s not Ahsoka levels of bad and the planets look cool so there’s that I guess. Sol, Yord, and Jecki are definitely the best things in the show so far so maybe they’ll carry it through to the finish line without any major snafus… that is assuming the rumors about episode 3 aren’t true…
@@dumdumer892how is it shit? The hacking thing was cool, lots of new characters and concepts introduced, indaras death didn’t need to have weight for the viewer, what matters is you can feel the weight it has on the characters because they are clearly all surprised by it and knew her, and it was cool the way she died because she died the most Jedi way possible saving someone (even though I would’ve predicted that move from a mile away, but maybe she didn’t have a choice and she had to put all her focus into that knife catch), this is how Star Wars shows should feel, it’s easily the best one so far, but you just gotta complain about everything huh?
@@dumdumer892also you’re opinions are just wrong 😭 the dialogue in ep 1 made sense, they all fit their characters very well, I don’t think you understand the idea of characters having different personalities, the actors are great so far in this show
You couldn't pay me to watch this
@loganpraz2566 Saying someone's opinions are wrong is like saying we all have to think the same way.
Killing Master Indara was too quick and I felt that Carrie Anne Moss could have been an awesome heroine.
She also died really stupidly, clearly a superior fighter than Mae but decided not to actually disarm her or subdue her in literally any way
If she was actually a master then I must’ve missed the Jedi nerfs in the recent Star Wars patch notes
@@rss8641 Yeah that's true and the fact how dagger can kill while lightsaber piercing does not. Logic left the chat
@@blackacnologia1263 logic left the chat when Lucas made Anakin and Maul survive their wounds
Bro this was really awesome! It really gives you a feel for some classic story in star wars universe, that doesn't involve threatening destruction of entire galaxy. It is fun, interesting, a little mysterious. We don't know where will it go, it can go really anywhere, since we know it doesn't need to fit into any story. We don't know that all of the characters will survive, we don't know that someone will die, we don't know anything. It feels like star wars, and in my opinion I can once again feel like i am watching star wars for the first time. That is really unique feeling that none of the other star wars Disney project brought us, and I really appreciate that. Not to mention excellent acting for the actors of Sol and Mae/Ousha. And the visuals are stunning.
I'm not going to watch the show, I'm just going to watch these summaries to see if it worth my mental health to witness bad writing, agendas and my favourite IP die slowly
Edit: Didn't think I was going to get this much attention, first of all I love sw, but I don't like Disney or Hollywood. To me sw is lager than life characters that can make you escape your reality and hardships of life. I don't wanna see real world stuff in a fictional world I love. Life is hard enough as it is, so when I put on sw, I wanna see a good story, good action and emotion. That's all I want, not other agendas or messages. It's as simple as that. I want to feel like a kid again, cause that's what sw is to me and many other people. But the new shows just won't give that to us, and even if we get upset, and complain, they just make more money. This is a business to them and not a piece of art anymore. If you cannot see that, well then "You truly are lost!"
I did that with bobf and kenobi.
Lol crybabies just watch the show for yourself. Because half the people on here are going to hate it no matter what, I promise you
@@hez859why watch the acolyte when they could watch something good
@@hez859you pay for the subscription
There has been no agendas here, just a story.
I hope Star Wars movies will continue to use Korean actors.
The acting skills of Hollywood actors are truly poor.
I went into The Acolyte with an open mind, and honestly I’m really loving it. The fight choreography is top tier. Refreshing to see fights begin hand to hand and before the lightsaber is even emitted. I’m also loving plenty of the new characters. Really exited for the future of this show.
i’m glad you enjoyed it
Do you like the dialogue?
@@ModernWelfare_ Dialogue is okay. The “attack me with everything you got” line was pure cringe, especially the second time it was said but other than that dialogue is okay. The cast of characters is better than I expected.
The “attack me” line made me LOL
I really enjoyed the first 2 episodes.
I feel like it isn’t that bad. It was new and exciting seeing new Jedi, different planets, different ships. Brand new story that’s not connected to anything else. It’s a breath of fresh air. I enjoyed the 2 episodes they weren’t perfect by any means but I actually for once like the story of what they are trying to do as well. Solid premier I’d say 7.5-8/10. Ppl need to just wait and get to know the characters more. I think everyone can agree sol is a pretty cool Jedi that casting is pretty good for this show as well. Like I said breath of fresh air 7.5-8/10
Hi Theory. I'm here to tell you this is the first time since the beginning of your channel and the live parties, and in the history of SW that I genuinely don't care about a SW show. And I'm not giving a crap about Spoilers cause I probably won't watch this Gayest SW at all.😂 I'm just here to support you and hit that like button. Love you, pal.
I think Disney is trying to run away from the Reva thing and just make it more grounded. Not as much them being reckless, but maybe a start of just a pivot away from that
“We have old republic era content at home”…*the old republic era content*
I found it to be another example of expensive fan fiction, and I had real trouble connecting with it in general. This was partly due to the lack of a good story line, but also because most of the actors don't have screen presence or likeability. At the end of the day, that really matters.
DEI hires. This is what you get
It was one episode, LOL... Can they introduce the characters and explain what is going on?
Jake Lloyd, a young Hayden Christensen, the character of Qui Gon Jin who was written with the personality of a potato. Lots of screen presence and likeability when those films came out... My point being nobody hates Star Wars IP more than actual Star Wars fans. Remember, when Empire came out people hated it so much George Lucas apologized for hurting everyone's feelings. Time will tell whether people will end up liking this generation of characters the way they did Ahsoka.
@@mikehanna1981 There are two episodes and they both have the same issues. Dull as dishwater.
I read an interesting quote from George Lucas once, and I can't remember exactly how he put it, but essentially he made the point that it's important to establish a basic theme and premise in a movie or a TV show within the first couple of minutes. This helps to anchor the viewer, and once that's done, it doesn't matter how slowly or quickly you move the story along. But as with Ahsoka, what we see with the first two episodes of The Acolyte is a show that drifts aimlessly with no real meaning or point to it whatsoever.
I'm telling you, Kathleen Kennedy knows where the bodies are buried, that's the only reason she still has a job.
She has Diddy freak off tapes 😂
this is not star wars, period. disney pls sell the franchise before it is totally worthless!
The begininng of show was surprisingly good. I enjoyed Lee-Jung- Jae perfomance.
In my humble opinion this first episode can be described with 1 single word: B O R I N G.
Best part of the episode is when Trinity stands up. It seemed serious. If but only for a moment.
Forget the fire in space. I love it when the Jedi starship pulls up near the Nemoidian ship and everyone looks up because they heard the rev of its engines...in space...
I like how the jedi use kung-fu now
They always have. Jedi were extensively trained in hand-to-hand combat in the event they ever lost their saber. You can see this in the Clone Wars on occasion.
@cooperstephens147 wow first I've heard about this
i actually enjoyed this a lot very much looking forward to the next couple episodes
Its hard to unsee the zesty gay character from You in that Jedi Knight.
Omg yes, that's all I see him as
Oh THATS why he looks familiar lol
Oh shit lmao that is him
Spoiler alert: They're all gay
Sounds like a you problem, no one brought up anything about being gay and here you are making an unwarranted remark about a completely different TV show. Grow up, using 'zesty' to describe someone is pathetic.
Enjoying the show and they put a lot. Money into it
Seeing the show with 0 expectations, so far so good for me :)
Is master Yoda alive during the Acolyte series? Just curious
yep , it's like 87 years before ep 1
We'll definitely see yoda.
@@benloud8740 they already said that we don't
@@dangi6516 really? :( thats so dissapointing
@@dangi6516that’s so dumb it’s a perfect chance to show yoda
I actually fell asleep watching it.
Finally someone with an honest opinion
@@joshuaedwards4927 Honest? Really?
@@joshuaedwards4927 why would we lie about our opinions? Everyone tells the truth about whether they liked something or not these days.
@@joshuaedwards4927 just because someone does not agree with you doesn't mean their opinions are not honest. No need to assume everyone is lying.
@@blackfang377 all I said was that was their opinion. They are subjective not objective. If you read the thread of our conversation I said that they were allowed their opinion.
I do think the idea of "You won't pass your trials until you prove to me that you can kill a mf Jedi without a weapon" is pretty cool tbh. You gotta be a badass mf to kill a Jedi with NO weapon
I personally thought the first two episodes were great. I’m liking it more than Kenobi or Ahsoka already.
Something that might help you being a soon to be 50 year old Star Wars fan, I was not impressed that much with the prequel movies the first time I saw them. My perspective from the first ones was completely different in the 80s. Then I realized that my age had changed me. And I was more open after that and the prequels became better and better each time I saw them. There’s a certain amount of age bias you can get with this stuff. I don’t think anyone would be immune. That doesn’t mean things are not crap too lol…. But people tend to glorify what was happening when they were first in love or at certain age playing action figures. And everything around that is elevated.
“An Acolyte kills without a weapon. An Acolyte kills the dream”
Man I love that line
To be honest that makes a perfect sense. An Acolyte is a bug compared to the sith. He/she is not worth of having a lightsaber.
After the second episode where she made the other Jedi kill himself I think the whole acolyte vibe is killing Jedi from the inside with their hope and stuff
@@masteryoghurt2110I’m confused by this, do you like the line or no?
@@oXRaptorzXo Yeah, I like it. Siths are different. Everyone of them should have a different approach to "dark side users". Palpatine had no problems with teaching Maul Sith secrets and lightsaber combat. Maul also was meant to be only an Acolyte, officialy at least. This sith can just think that that chick is not worth to learn the ways of the sith and use their weapon. I wouldn't be surprised if this Sith was the apprentice who uses uses the acolyte to slowly overthrow his master.
@@masteryoghurt2110either that, or he’s testing her to see if she’s worthy of becoming a Sith apprentice.
I’m just here to see how bad Star Wars has gotten
Same here
it's actually pretty good so far
@@Lulzparty It's a steaming pile of DEI SHIT
On a scale of dog shit to sun-dry dog shit covered in vomit it's probably at around dog shit that's starting to crust and dry under the suns heat but still hasn't moulded over.
@@Lulzpartylet me have what you’re smoking, you straight trippin. Can’t be accepting anything that Disney puts out
The show was no bueno. No hate. Just my opinion. Boriinnnggggg! 🥱
Episode 3 is gonna fuck everyone up, like reallllly bad. Theory’s probably gonna cry but not in a good way.
Just saw the episode, 3/10. I don't know why the writing is so poor. It's the exact same premise as the Clone Wars (when Barris tries to frame Ahsoka), but with bad execution; I got Reva's vibes with the actress. Honestly, I'm more invested in Sol's character. IMHO zzz so far. Sick visuals tho.
I really liked it:)
Good for you! Someone needs to enjoy this. It cost too much to completely fail.
Honestly i dont understand why everyone is so mad that the jedi master dies to the knife. Everyone was complaining how reva survived the lighsaber stab, so disney fixed it and made characters die quicker again, and now yall complaining about that
It's like a band-aid on an arm that's already been amputated. After Reva, Ahsoka, Cad Bane, Grand Inquisitor, Sabine, and Palpatine it's too little too late.
I was pleasantly surprised by the show. I enjoyed it
Imma say it right now. The Jedi fighters in this show are the most competent Jedi I’ve ever seen in my fucking life.
They use the force like the prequel Jedi should have I actually feel like it’s damn near impossible to kill a Jedi unless I seriously caught them lacking
Did they just paint some random bald lady green and pretend she is an Alien? Because I'm not buying it 😂😂
Anyway, I gave the first episode a chance. I was bored all the way, none of the characters interested me. I'm not a fan of the choreography and overall style of the show. And the story didn't hook me.
Same here. How disappointing. Really thought this would be great. But again...no
Darth maul is a bald man painted red and black with additional horns. What a huuuge difference. The Chiss are basically humans with red eyes and blue skin. It's really annoying when people like you create the most stupid arguments ever just to hate this show. If you want to hate then at least find an argument which is valid.
I also thought it was lazy writing how the twins didn’t know each other were still alive but still happened to have the exact same hair, leading to the mistaken identity
I hate the hair, it’s not starwars
@@bloodheal7Anything made by Disney is not “Star Wars”
Daggers > light sabers 😂
A dagger to the heart that makes you bleed vs. a weapon that automatically cauterized your wound. Yeahhhh 🤡
@@GamingLovesJohn cauterizing doesn’t do anything when you stab through an organ. There’s nothing to cauterize 🤡
Didn't the dagger hit her in the heart? That's an instant death.
@@GamingLovesJohnIt doesn’t “cauterize your wounds” you dolt, it liquifies your insides and organs. In other words, theres nothing to cauterize 😂
When was that ever shown? Mae only killed Indara because she got distracted saving lives. In fact, in the darth Plagueis novel he states that to kill a Jedi you need to attack innocents. Then they’ll leave themselves open.
The Acolyte ... new Star Wars series summary
1) The main character has two mothers
2) All of the main Jedi characters are Black or Asian, zero White men.
3) In the first episode, the only speaking role for a white character was for prisoners.
In Episode 3, they plan to throw away all Star Wars cannon and also start using pronouns. One reviewer who has seen the episode said it will destroy all remaining affection the fans had for Star Wars.
Hey dude! Just wanted to say that I appreciate your reslly mellow and not super biased reaction to the show. I was looking up reviews from other content creators and many of them end up getting involved in the controversy and that seeps into their reviews.
Totally love the story -
The thread will be with you. Always
I cant wait 😂
I liked the space scene, where they walked on the ship's hull.
That’s been done before multiple times actually, in the clone wars animated show, the only good Star Wars to come after the prequels. The only real Star Wars after the prequels.
@@ModernWelfare_ Rouge One was decent IMO
@@ModernWelfare_walking on a ship's hull in space was just done in the Ahsoka show as well, by Ahsoka.
@@ModernWelfare_ I remember seeing it in clone wars and ahsoka, I think its still cool. The fire was very immersion breaking. I think I heard someone say, that its not about the fire, but about the DURATION of the fire.
It was like a whole ass story point, to look at the fire and see some flash back, WHILE maintaining fire visuals.
In my opinion the clone wars was the best era of star wars.
Acolyte is pretty bad, especially when you compare it with the things we COULD have..
The old republic, the mmo, look at those cinematic shorts.
Imagine, a whole world, even HALF the visual quality of that, but with the story from that GALAXY, rather than whatever abomination we currently have.
Lightsabers have become the equivalent to an unprotected finishing move in wrestling. Used to be this great move (DDT), now everyone can no sell it.
Can we just appreciate Torbin’s dedication to going into monk mode for 10 years
Chad Torbin can't be touched by weak betas. His aura is too strong
Good start. Feels creative and well put together/not rushed
Felt a bit like a remix of the Ahsoka getting blamed/set up events for a minute.
Yup. Very unoriginal and lazy writing
@@LaraA55there aren’t that many story’s/plots to tell and this franchise is 50 years in… ntm this is playing out incredibly differently than Ahsoka’s arc did.
@@LaraA55lazy writing? What you think the clone wars was the first to have a story about a character being blamed for something they didn’t do and trying to prove their innocence?
@@DeeDeeDeeeee but this is where she got the idea from, Ahsoka's arc and Leslye Hedland said it herself, saying it inspired her.
@@infiniteflash4236 leslye Hedland said herself that she used the idea from ahsokas arc as it inspired her
The fact I'm seeing people finishing the first 2 eps and right away forgetting important character names says a lot. Felt like I was watching a sci-fi show from the 90's that had Star Wars elements :/
You don’t have to explain yourself, it’s bad.
I usually agree with you on a lot. The sequals not being good etc.
But this show is great honestly.
I like this new take on Star Wars. A nice steady pace. Everyone’s so used to seeing lightsaber fights and flashing lights every episode of every show. I can understand why some people may not like it because it’s not constantly firing their dopamine receptors to it’s limits like the usual shows and episode.
Mr "I'm done with Disney star wars" still clearly not done with Disney star wars. What a shocker
I mean, he needs everything he can to keep making content lol he won’t ever boycot this trash Disney is putting out. I know I will though :)
He’s a Star Wars content creator so of course he’s going to watch the new stuff that’s coming out. The “done with it” part just means that he’s not expecting much. That’s how I feel about Disney’s crap too; I keep my expectations extremely low.
Sol changed his mind because he could feel the dream Osha had. When he was on the ship, he suddenly got a panicked look on his face.
