Hey, Bob, you seeing $180m worth of production value? I mean, where in the world did the money go? Did they fuel that fire in space burning $100 bills?!
Canon not broken at all. Nobody even mentions the possibility of it being a Sith training Mae, because Sith have been "extinct" for over 900 years. They theorize it might be a splinter group or rogue Jedi. And this "small counsel" is covering it up anyway, since if they told the master counsel, they'd be required by law to disclose to the Senate. And just the appearance of a red saber, doesn't equal Sith. Plenty of non-Sith had red sabers, it just indicates a dark side user. I also don't think in the end that any of the Jedi that see the Sith/red saber are gonna survive the season, so the core Jedi never hear about him. So Ki Adi saying in TPM Maul was not a Sith, still fits.
I’m a die hard Star Wars fan, read all the old legends stuff, read the new stuff. Generally positive about just about everything that’s ever been released. That includes The Last Jedi which Robbie loves, and Clem hates. It includes the prequels, and it includes all the stuff Disney has given us…until now. I’ve never hated a Star Wars anything until now. 99% percent of it comes from the presentation. Acoylte looks so unbelievably cheap. Robbie and Clem said it looked like it belonged on Syfy or CW early on in the reviews and I cannot shake that. It’s at such a level of low budget that is actually ruining a lot of the scenes for me. I think the most text book example of this was when Yord was using Binoculars on the roof, watching Mae and Sol fight in the town square. He was like 10 feet up. The tiny sets they’re using were completely magnified here. This show isn’t bad because it has lesbian mom witches, or because Ki Adi Mundi is suddenly way older. It’s because it looks like shit. This is a case of simple bad directing, and it permeates through the whole show, including the performances of most of these actors. Squid Games better not die in the next episode. He’s the only character who is enjoyable, but he can’t carry the whole thing. Is it as bad as the Holiday Special? Maybe not, but it looks as cheap, when compared to today’s standards. Where did that 180 mil go?
Couldn't agree more. Each episode is barely holding my attention. I'm really only watching so I have a reference for when these podcasts discuss it. The only character with some gravitas is Squid Games as you affectionately called him lol.
I think this is a very valid complaint! Even in some of the forrest scenes I couldn't help but think it looked like the Jedi Temple Challenge show for kids lol
That was one of the actors, and while it is a big mistake that one directly involved in the show should know, I cannot fault an actor that is probably not as invested in the lore as we are. Most actors don’t know the lore, but we are blessed with a few who do.
THANK YOU for having an actual adult conversation around Ki-Adi Mundi's inclusion in this show. It is wild to see the lack of media literacy on all of these rage baiters videos and their comment sections.
You watch The Boys, The Bear, Silo, Severance, HOTDragon.... then you Watch the Acolyte/Ahsoka/ObiWan and the DISCREPANCY in the writing, dialogue/themes.script/tone is ASTOUNDINGGGGGG
I would be annoyed if Filloni missed / forgot Ki Ad Mundi’s line in TPM. But… there is no chance he did. It’s way more likely ki adi mundi does not know about the Sith. Darth Gimp is most likely not a Sith. Either a dark side user or the acolyte to the real Sith. I don’t understand why everyone was jumping to conclusions before the season was over.

The light sabers in the show are real.😂😂

The writing is also bad

If the “kill a Jedi without a weapon” ends up meaning that Mae turns a Jedi to the dark side, I’ll be back on board with this show
The director stated that “ Anakin” blew up the Death Star. As result, I’m in the continuity error camp until proven otherwise.
That was one of the actors, and while it is a big mistake that one directly involved in the show should know, I cannot fault an actor that is probably not as invested in the lore as we are. Most actors don’t know the lore, but we are blessed with a few who do.
There might be two sith and finding an acolyte is a ploy by apprentice to take down the sith lord and so we have only seen the apprentice.

saying “it doesn’t matter because he only had 3 lines” isn’t some advanced media literacy or adult. it’s just pure coping.
C3P-O had his memory banks wiped at the end of “Revenge of the Sith”.

Hey Robbie what you thinking on Whittaker/Aliskerov?
Symbols reminded me of the Jedi temple on achtoo
How many barstool pods have two Dozen champs? Congrats Clem!!
Calling it. @15:50 Its too obvious for it to be him, its clearly a misdirect.
‘S/Her Wars’..
No 'The Boys' review/chat?
It's coming eventually! We're unevenly caught up with each other right now!
BRING THE TITLE HOME CLEMBO!
the cope in the comments is hilarious lmao
Yo Robbie taste in movies and shows is just awful the fact he thinks this show is passable is just a terrible take
