Brushing off the Ki-Adi Mundi issue as a frivolous "birthday" issue is like expecting Bill Clinton to be alive in the 1920's as an adult. It exposes the fundamental problem that Leslye Headland is NOT a real Star Wars fan and was writing a disastrous fan fiction, burning away $230 million.

His birthday came from a Topps card. So that not being a set D-canon date was a reboot issue. However, the inconsistency with TPM is significant.

@@robertsavageau Jedi Mind Trick does not change memories. The technique that does alter memories was from the Old Republic Era (it was a plot point in Knights of the Old Republic) and may have only been known to the Jedi Counsel due to what it can do.
230 million dollars up in smoke. There's a petition to renew for another season and another petition to have the Acolyte removed from Disney Canon. Meanwhile, a vast majority of the audience doesn't care anymore because they don't watch Disney SW shows nor buy the countless SW toys rotting on the store shelves. Apathy, the ultimate downfall to any franchise.
13:59 - Count Dooku flew like this in Clone Wars (the cool Genndy Tartovsky one) and it was awesome... but that show was made by people with talent, and Dooku wasn't shown to be an inept idiot at any point in that show...
This show is the epitome of what happens when arrogant studio heads meet with arrogant showrunners and arrogant MCs to arrogantly sh!t out a TV show and assume that it'll automatically be a hit just because it has "Star Wars" on the label.
Ki-Adi-Mundi being present here is to me the ultimate evidence of hack job writing… to not have a good story that directly tackles this, how he may have been actively deceived or somehow meaningfully in denial or debate or whatever story they wanted to have. If you don’t have this, there is literally no point in even having the character be there.
Kathleen Kennedy, Alissa Heinerscheid, Leslye Headland, Jessica Gao ... I think I figured out the common thread that binds them all! No actual skill or talent for their role.
Too bad, Disney getting their sticky mitts upon Star Wars, was also the fans fault! Palpatine;"ironic". They wished sav3 Star Wars from ruin, but caused themselves!
@@Nickle_King Got to admit, with the changing face of entertainment I never suspected the fans would have to actively trounce these bad shows... Where did all the talent go? (Hint - The Orville took everything good in Trek production. Long live the Orville!)
I would’ve loved an ending cut scene where Ki-adi-Mundi bumps his head walking through a door frame, and that’s how he forgets about the Sith Lord & Jedi dying. That would have been comedy gold
The only people who thought this show rivaled Citizen Kane were the lunatics who felt "seen" or represented. They didn't care about the story, just the made up love interest of a wannabe Sith Lord and the person he kidnapped. Money well wasted by Disney 😃
Ex Machina cost $15 million. Disney could have made over ten movies like Ex Machina. Instead, they gave Headland an outlet for her psychological issues and her lack of talent. I guess it's just as well.
6:04 This shows she (the massive Star Wars fan who was so excited to write Star Wars) has no idea what Ki-Adi-Mundi said in the Prequels about the Sith and did no research on his character before writing him in to her show!
I think the bumbling sith thing is a call back to yoda's first 5 minutes with luke. That didn't overstay it's welcome though. Either that it's confirmation that Jar Jar was a sith lord and slapstick wackyness (that does overstay its welcome) is part of a siths arsenal.
The Jedi are peacekeepers who always choose the smartest decisions Acolyte: “Impossible” Edit: y’all, chill in the comments. It’s a joke, I get the Jedi we’re doing the wrong thing in the prequels
More accurately, they kept the peace by force, corrupted over time into warriors, which took the front lines of a galactic civil war. Not saying the Acolyte is any less bad, and its portrayal of Jedi is still wrong, but the point of the prequels is the corruption of the Jedi Order and how they put principles and ideals before the actual situation, which is what led them to fail Anakin
@@EspartanicaI would agree with you but I argue the only flaw the Jedi down was following the will of a corrupt senate and the republic but not the force and it was Anakin own fault in failing being a Jedi he broke Jedi rules until bite him in the ass.

The problem I have with the Jedi we have been presented with, George Lucas included) is that they are complacent and out of touch due to “soft life.” And that is fine due 1-3. I want to see a show or story in the KOTOR era like the EU graphic novels I enjoyed
Maybe when Disney is done desecrating the Star Wars corpse they'll sell it to someone who will care enough to make a good show. I'm not counting on that happening in _my_ lifetime, but I suppose it's possible...
Feel sorry for Dafne Keen, not only they roped her into this trainwreck, but then having that beautiful face covered, And character shipped with their psychopathic protagonist? Now all bets are off!
Great seeing those two women laughing about anyone caring about Ki's birthday. Because women, of course, don't care about birthdays or aging. Anyway, "we've got an important story to tell, who cares about birthdays!" Alas, they didn't have an important story to tell.
Anyone who ever thought that Jedi aren't the guardians of peace is a fool who doesn't know how to pay attention to what movies or TV shows show you. Are the Jedi perfect? No. Do they have flaws, such as a certain sense of superiority (taken in a general way, in reality we know that most of them are quite humble people)? Yes. Are they willing to fight with all their might, just to protect the republic (and therefore, the peace they had helped maintain for centuries)? Just consider that the Order is exterminated, due to its involvement in the clone wars. The acolyte is nothing more than the umpteenth idiocy created by KK, solely to carry forward his own ideas (again, idiotic, because sw was already largely full of female characters willing to fight, but not devoid of humanity), the lady accepts a advice: withdraw, since in 40 or more years of associating with the best directors and producers in Hollywood you haven't learned a thing about which projects need to be approved and which aren't, and above all not to poke fun at productions that seem to be going well (see The mandalorian). Yes, mine is an outburst. This is a defacement of SW, it's not the universe I grew up with - it's Mordor, in the words of Frodo Baggins. It's a sick and infectious clone of what SW was, both in the original Trilogy and in the prequel Trilogy. Has what has been achieved since 2015 been worth the candle? Hell, I'd say...in fact I'd scream "NO!".
Ok lemme just CLEAR THE FREAKIN AIR on Jeckie, ok? Jeckie's Actress: "She's definitely an adult and in love with OSHA." The Show: Puts her in a youngling level class. Sol: "She was a child!!" Smylo: Agrees with Sol that she is a child. So as you can see, this show is shit.

The Jedi are essentially monks and the portly monk is an old trope. So 1 Jedi in a remote outpost being over weight is not really that much of a stretch.
@@TheChristianPsychopath The Jedi are more like Shaolin monks than Christian friars. They are armed combatants who are expected to be ready for battle when the need arises.
@@maelstrom2313 Gluttony is a sin in Christianity, the trope was also a critical one. I'm not saying he's supposed to be a picture of the ideal Jedi, only that it doesn't break plausibility for one Jedi to have a weight problem, particularly if he has enough skill to be useful in other areas. He's a background character, so there's room to speculate. I don't know how much the new Canon uses it, but at one point Jedi had a service corp for those couldn't quite cut it as knights who had medical, agricultural, exploration, and I believe science roles. Between telekinesis and modern technology, he may still have enough skills they aren't eager to cut him loose despite having a flaw in one area.
Pantomime Sith is doing what Joda did on Dagobah. Behave silly and simple but only later show how serious he is. But considering characters that should know something, and have shown that they knew something, are also shown not knowing that thing. Brilliant writing, Leslye!
You can literally watch people read their lines from off-screen. 6:52 green lady is literally reading her dialog, she is not looking at the other actor she is talking too, she's looking off-screen and doesn't look at her until the end of the sentence, its clear as day!
One detail that absolutely made me die of laughter was when they introduced the wookie's hideaway, they show him cooking a hot salad. I feel like it goes too unnoticed l.
Fun fact robot, that pale alien girl with the orange eye shadows, still most famous for playing none other than"wolverine's daughter"! Probably why she excells while fighting(besides just;"female").
Honestly I have girl boss fatigue. I gave up on Star Wars after boba Fett. Got rid of my Disney account. If you aren’t a critic, and you still give Disney money in 2024, WTF are y’all doing? Get rid of your accounts!
Disney really needs to learn that they don’t need flashbacks in every single thing they create to tell a story. You can just tell me and I’ll take your word for it. But to waste an entire episode on a flashback that’s completely misleading takes the cake. And then somehow the actual events make even less sense knowing what was supposed to happen.
I feel like people forget how freaking powerful Palpatine was. He is one of the most powerful force users and duelists in history. He is faster than the eye can track at times. When Mace and the others went into that office, they expected an old man who had secretly been using the dark side behind closed doors, not a prodigy sith and product of a 1000 year plot to destroy the entire jedi order. I see so many people say that jedi aren't that strong because Palpatine killed 3 masters with ease, completely ignoring that they were going against someone who was like 5 times stronger than the average jedi master. The jedi had not faced a sith like Palpatine since the days of Lord Vitiate.
“The Jedi being stupid in this show makes no sense” Meanwhile we got Mace Windu leading a head in charge in an open arena against an army for no reason getting 180 Jedi killed
Honestly, I like this delayed release of your videos. I get to relive witnessing this colossal embarrassment with the knowledge of how it all ends. Keep it up Mr Head!
3:15 yes and the money isn’t on The screen because the people involved paid themselves like they were never gonna get another opportunity like this ever again.
This show keeps on giving ❤ . I love how bad it is. I can’t believe all 3 people were going crazy trying to save this show and say that we were hating on it. Still can’t figure out the rodent scene and why he sabotaged the ship. But like the great mysteries of life I must go on never knowing the truth.
But why? The first one was just nice CGI, the story was ass. I havem't wasted my time with the sequel. Cameron is like Ridley Scott; lost their touch on how to make good films.
@JoakimOtamaa everyone has there opinions and perspectives, but based on the numbers the majority rules and it was praised and made money. James Cameron has made significant contribution to film industry. He has touched hearts of children and adults for even with limited films he made wether you where around at the time or not. It is said that jamea Cameron might be loosing his touch becuase he doesn't have the three musketeers anymore to make that magic that once was.. Stan Winston, James Horner and James Cameron...
So glad I bailed and canceled my D+ subscription an episode before this one. If not, this video would not hit home the same. Come to the center of the Sonoran desert, Mr. Head, and there the drinks will be on me.
They took a character who the people this show was made for (nonfans) wouldn't recognize and shoehorn him into it. The problem was that fans knew the truth and spoke out, so Disney had the truth changed.
Banger videos. Really enjoyed the previous video. Went through and just done watching the last live stream that was posted with Jay and Anna on your second channel. Really enjoyed that. Will you do any more of those or are you a regular guest somewhere else? And I gotta ask, did you ever get hold of the Fireball and Four Loko?🥃 I discovered you thanks to your first guest spot on Open Bar. Cheers from North Carolina
What if this is the key to the Holy Grail. Only in working backwards from the Acolyte in determining the biggest failures and idiocracies and point to who and what is behind it perhaps you'd truly find the Pandora's Box that has been opened and has swallowed Disney in the very pits it now exists
$230 million aka >10× Squid Game S1 budget. Ep. 3 Green Bean: 'We know her next target. Go straight there.' Ep. 4 Green Bean: 'We may know her next target, but you should return for consultations.'
I think the “Mae has always been your wound” line is likely just poor dialog and not an error in the storyline… I think it would have been better if the line was “I have known your pain since we were young but I never understood why it was there. I now know that Mae has always been your wound”
My favorite part of the acolyte is the bast almost incomprehensible range of emotions Occupational Safety and Health Administration emotes during the whole run of the show. It went so well with crayola script and severe collective brain damage of disney. I really hope they give $230M to Dune 3, it'll be even more glorious if they do.

The Jedi are essentially monks and the portly monk is an old trope. So 1 Jedi in a remote outpost being over weight is not really that much of a stretch.
@@TheChristianPsychopath The Jedi are more like Shaolin monks than Christian friars. They are armed combatants who are expected to be ready for battle when the need arises.
@@maelstrom2313 Gluttony is a sin in Christianity, the trope was also a critical one. I'm not saying he's supposed to be a picture of the ideal Jedi, only that it doesn't break plausibility for one Jedi to have a weight problem, particularly if he has enough skill to be useful in other areas. He's a background character, so there's room to speculate.
I don't know how much the new Canon uses it, but at one point Jedi had a service corp for those couldn't quite cut it as knights who had medical, agricultural, exploration, and I believe science roles.
Between telekinesis and modern technology, he may still have enough skills they aren't eager to cut him loose despite having a flaw in one area.
One of the worst retcons ever
Pantomime Sith is doing what Joda did on Dagobah. Behave silly and simple but only later show how serious he is. But considering characters that should know something, and have shown that they knew something, are also shown not knowing that thing. Brilliant writing, Leslye!
Why do all the JEDI dress like moisture farmers?
They don’t they dress like monks. You know modest robes.
Better be careful, Robot Head; if you're taking the piss outta The Acolyte, Mollie and Damon are gonna have your arse. 🤣🤣🤣
You can literally watch people read their lines from off-screen. 6:52 green lady is literally reading her dialog, she is not looking at the other actor she is talking too, she's looking off-screen and doesn't look at her until the end of the sentence, its clear as day!
Wow….. that’s the result when you hire relatives and friends instead of actual actors
@@lepuluke
How are you gonna embezzle and launder money if you dont hire relatives?
It’s impossible!
No it’s necessary for our convoluted plot highlighting our DEI ideology.
You'd have to really hate star wars to change it so fundamental like they did.
YESSSS!! More Robot Head!
12:38 Peak RUclips! 😆 💩
I’m enjoying it👍🏻Keep it up Robothead - ooohh!😜
They need to hire Steven Seagal and let him to have full creative control of The Acolyte Season 2, that'll save the so-called Disney Star Wars lol. 😂
Are you a fellow Space Ice fan?
😉
So glad I avoided this
One detail that absolutely made me die of laughter was when they introduced the wookie's hideaway, they show him cooking a hot salad. I feel like it goes too unnoticed l.
All hail Robot Head! Down to mediocrity, up with faster processing
Fun fact robot, that pale alien girl with the orange eye shadows, still most famous for playing none other than"wolverine's daughter"! Probably why she excells while fighting(besides just;"female").
If she still has the mutant healing factor, she may have survived. Somehow, X23 returned.
@@haroldb1856. Good one, but you rather see his dark materials! Heard She was good.
Honestly I have girl boss fatigue. I gave up on Star Wars after boba Fett. Got rid of my Disney account. If you aren’t a critic, and you still give Disney money in 2024, WTF are y’all doing? Get rid of your accounts!
But what about the droid attack on the Wookies?
I can see the arguments now.... "It would have been fleshed out if they had a season two"
Disney...
No brains allowed.
Disney really needs to learn that they don’t need flashbacks in every single thing they create to tell a story. You can just tell me and I’ll take your word for it. But to waste an entire episode on a flashback that’s completely misleading takes the cake. And then somehow the actual events make even less sense knowing what was supposed to happen.
At this point the Acolyte is a dead horse. Time to move on to the next subject.
I'm enjoying Robot Head's thorough burning of the series
Every IP is these days. Like musicians with "flop eras," history will look back on the early 20xxs as Hollywoods "dead horse era".
When it's finished. Hold your space horses.
They purposely make Jedi look like idiots to explain why Palpatine killed 3 Masters in a few seconds :D
I feel like people forget how freaking powerful Palpatine was. He is one of the most powerful force users and duelists in history. He is faster than the eye can track at times. When Mace and the others went into that office, they expected an old man who had secretly been using the dark side behind closed doors, not a prodigy sith and product of a 1000 year plot to destroy the entire jedi order. I see so many people say that jedi aren't that strong because Palpatine killed 3 masters with ease, completely ignoring that they were going against someone who was like 5 times stronger than the average jedi master. The jedi had not faced a sith like Palpatine since the days of Lord Vitiate.
@@mr.cookiecutter Neeerrrdddd!!!! 🤣🤣🤣
@@therealking6202 lol. True.
Go watch the test footage for the original duel.
Lucas ruined that scene by insisting Ian did the action.
@@mr.cookiecutter lol...all respect. From what I remember, he used a Sith Scream(?) when he flew at them, which basically froze the Jedi.
“The Jedi being stupid in this show makes no sense”
Meanwhile we got Mace Windu leading a head in charge in an open arena against an army for no reason getting 180 Jedi killed
The fact she put her wife in this shows you exactly how serious they took the show.
It's reported the Acolyte's cost is $230.1 million, time to update those numbers again
Honestly, I like this delayed release of your videos. I get to relive witnessing this colossal embarrassment with the knowledge of how it all ends. Keep it up Mr Head!
There's simply no way they didn't deliberately cast Ki Adi just to make him look like a muppet, because all pre-disney characters must be made muppets
3:15 yes and the money isn’t on
The screen because the people involved paid themselves like they were never gonna get another opportunity like this ever again.
This show keeps on giving ❤ . I love how bad it is. I can’t believe all 3 people were going crazy trying to save this show and say that we were hating on it. Still can’t figure out the rodent scene and why he sabotaged the ship. But like the great mysteries of life I must go on never knowing the truth.
I bet they paid these actors a bunch, and that green character is a horrible actor. That 220 million had to go somewhere. Yikes!
"Can you do that thing with your eyes hun?"
"Just did it."
Patiently waiting for James Cameron Avatar 3, the only person saving Disney 😭
But why? The first one was just nice CGI, the story was ass. I havem't wasted my time with the sequel. Cameron is like Ridley Scott; lost their touch on how to make good films.
@JoakimOtamaa everyone has there opinions and perspectives, but based on the numbers the majority rules and it was praised and made money. James Cameron has made significant contribution to film industry. He has touched hearts of children and adults for even with limited films he made wether you where around at the time or not. It is said that jamea Cameron might be loosing his touch becuase he doesn't have the three musketeers anymore to make that magic that once was..
Stan Winston, James Horner and James Cameron...
@@BlckJohnnyQuest I still enjoy his older movies. Most modern movies are quite shite
I’m so grateful for robot head. I haven’t had to watch Disney Star Wars in a while and can still know how it’s going.
Hollow story telling. It's a fanfiction and cosplay
Hate fiction. They really aren't fans.
there basically saying he was lying, which gives credence to how corrupt the jedi council actually was, that's the only way to justify it
Give me 230 million......
Gives Darth Headlamp 230 million.
That's one powerful Sith.
5:37 I have suspicions that they were gonna have him be a secret bad guy in season 2 (maybe even a Sith). Thankfully, we’ll never know.
I saw some Acolyte toys at walmart. I really wanted one but they had the nerve to sell these cheap dolls with little to no accessories for 24 dollars.
So glad I bailed and canceled my D+ subscription an episode before this one. If not, this video would not hit home the same. Come to the center of the Sonoran desert, Mr. Head, and there the drinks will be on me.
me there through the episode "woah they've done a cerean". watches credits "NOOOOOOOO"
6:29 *Ex-sith-stence*
They took a character who the people this show was made for (nonfans) wouldn't recognize and shoehorn him into it. The problem was that fans knew the truth and spoke out, so Disney had the truth changed.
I hate the line about going straight for the lightsaber. There is nothing to suggest that it wasn’t going straight at the closest people.
In the Acolyte's defense Dark Jedi aren't the same as Sith.
Banger videos. Really enjoyed the previous video. Went through and just done watching the last live stream that was posted with Jay and Anna on your second channel. Really enjoyed that. Will you do any more of those or are you a regular guest somewhere else?
And I gotta ask, did you ever get hold of the Fireball and Four Loko?🥃
I discovered you thanks to your first guest spot on Open Bar. Cheers from North Carolina
What if this is the key to the Holy Grail. Only in working backwards from the Acolyte in determining the biggest failures and idiocracies and point to who and what is behind it perhaps you'd truly find the Pandora's Box that has been opened and has swallowed Disney in the very pits it now exists
$230 million aka >10× Squid Game S1 budget.
Ep. 3 Green Bean: 'We know her next target. Go straight there.' Ep. 4 Green Bean: 'We may know her next target, but you should return for consultations.'
Love your hilarious breakdowns! Wish we had more to trash on 😂
I think the “Mae has always been your wound” line is likely just poor dialog and not an error in the storyline… I think it would have been better if the line was “I have known your pain since we were young but I never understood why it was there. I now know that Mae has always been your wound”
10:05 - oh good lord! I've not seen anyone point out that glaring plot hole!!!!
How do you mess that up?! Oh yeah! Have no writing talent. 😂😂
My favorite part of the acolyte is the bast almost incomprehensible range of emotions Occupational Safety and Health Administration emotes during the whole run of the show. It went so well with crayola script and severe collective brain damage of disney. I really hope they give $230M to Dune 3, it'll be even more glorious if they do.
I wonder why Dafne Keen's fights in movies are better choreograhed than other actors' scenes.
hay COUZ - "Her"story VS History - it ain't about making rational sense - "lookin Good in the moment" vs narratives that are aboot "How to be a Hero" 🍀🇨🇦⚜️
You'd think they'd invest a couple of those millions on "lookin good"
