Thank you for the honest review. Too many RUclipsrs are accepting gift boxes and other amenities from movie studios for positive reviews and that is whats causing a lot of fan friction. Great Video
Great discussion. You definitely have a passion for Star Wars. I’ve learned I’m a Lucas Star Wars kinda person. You described Star Wars as the skywalker saga, that’s why the old(legacy) books were the best. The characters was the heart. Thanks.
Such a terrible episode. Having said that Disney did green light Andor, first 2 seasons of Mandolorian and Rogue One which I really enjoyed. So they can make it work. But this series is right down there with The Last Jedi.
@@chand911 Well to be fair it's like watching a train wreck that's happening in real time It's hard to look away. What's your excuse for commenting on the post?
@@chand911 I doubt it. If the fanbase did it back at the sequels, Disney might have nipped this dross in the bud. But they kept coming back. They may not like the quality of the dealer's product, but they will always come back with their money for another hit. We blame Disney, but why should they care, if the upset audience just keeps coming back?
I love Star Wars. I belong to the first generation of fans of that imaginative universe that brought me so much joy and fun in my childhood and youth. Until 2017. Then my fantasy world starts to crumble. I hoped, but it was only false comfort. I give up! I don't understand this world anymore, the problem is probably in me, and I want you to feel at least a little of the joy that I felt when I watched Star Wars for the first time. P.S. KK you did it! Force is female! My comment on SWNN.
I just don't know what it's going to take before Disney realizes their version of Star Wars is horrible. I remember going to see The Star Wars as it was originally in the theater. The lines were insane, people waited a week to get their tickets. It was so surreal. This was all way before the Internet, this was all by word of mouth. The movie stayed in the theaters for over a year because of the demand. I remember getting my display and an official letter for Christmas that year saying, I would receive the action figures in the early part of the following year. They hadn't foreseen the huge demand. I was turning 9 a couple of months after this came out, so I have been a life long fan. To see where it has gone is disheartening to say the least
The Holy Trinty(Pardon the expression) of Sci-Fi and Fantasy Dr. Who, Star Trek, and Star Wars has been ruined by "The Message", DEI, and a rabid far left agenda.
Michelle-with-2-L’s all you need to remember is they don’t know what and who the Jedi are. Actually they don’t care. They just want to virtue signal. Look at Carrie-Ann Moss scene with a “Jedi” watching people getting destroyed because of her.
It's a shame to see what Star Wars has become. That won't erase my memories of the original trilogy, Timothy Zahn's novels or my time spent playing TIE Fighter as a kid.
I still have the blue plastic camera with the red cassette that my brother and I bought at K-Mart in the summer of 1978, that and many more items. The camera still works....son of a gun. I just wish we had kept the box it was in, oh well.
wait, i thought the extreme escalation in "i'm gonna kill you" and all the witches somehow dying is because there is going to be a plot twist that someone else actually blew everything up
People call it a fanfic for a reason. It has all the attributes including Headland's inability to grasp the concept of writing for the audience. A (bad) fanfic writer just writes up their own limited and subjective one-dimensional personal itch. Most of the time most people won't find that to be a captivating story.
I 100% agere with u Michelle Star Wars is a story about HOPE and a morality tale. I dont have kids but i am a uncle. And i was so looking forward to showing Star Wars to my niece and nephew... Now i dont know what to show them after Return og the Jedi.. It is no longer the Star Wars that shaped me and the choices i make. I appreciate your enthusiasm for everything u and Natalie pur out. Good Job!😊
What they have completely forgot about is that Yoda would be around 600 years old and never spoke of these People. In every Lucas Film He never mentions these Witches once, obviously. It is just nonsense and pushing there own personal agenda thru Star Wars ?
Sci Fi in 2024: Harvey Weinstein's fmr Personal Assistant presents 'Lesbians in space; light sabres which once could cut through blast doors now, when driven through someone's abdomen, create a wound that can be walked off; Zach Snyder gives us coal fired spaceships; Star Trek has dancing Klingons and after 60 years Dr Who is wearing a skirt (don't tell me it's a kilt) kissing blokes and his companion gets killed halfway through the first season. I saw Star Wars (ep.IV if you must) at the cinema in 1977 and from that time and through the eighties SciFi seemed to have no boundaries. Funny that the people who shout loudly about breaking down boundaries are the same people who are creating the new ones.
How does Disney and KK keep producing terrible quality movies and shows while losing billions of dollar, still have a job? So many more qualified and actually talented people could have made something really incredible with Star Wars.
Oh my god! I have watched a lot of people review this episode and I kept thinking "WE DIDN'T START THE FIRE!" and you are the one reviewer that said it. Thank you.
Well stated with great eloquence. I chanced upon your channel because of one of your film reviews (I can't tell you which one because it's top secret 🤫) and I'm really happy that I did because you and your sister are forces to be reckoned with! I hope you get some liason with Gary/Will etc because you're up there with them and would integrate well.
The mere fact that the outside nature is dangerous and that out of a hundred adults no one can prevent the only two children from leaving the castle turns the Jedis into social workers who should intervene.
I remember my grandma told me, no matter what they teach you at Jedi school, there's no good or evil in the force it's only about power..p.s...Anakin Skywalker blew up the DeathStar.
I remember watching an interview of George Lucas about why he created Star Wars. He (roughly, paraphrasing from memory) stated how he wanted a morality tale of good vs evil, as this was missing at that time in theaters. So Star Wars was intentionally Good Vs Evil. All these people stating in interviews how this world is more nuanced and there should be more grey goop in Star Wars are entirely missing the point. (wish I could find the interview... it was a younger George, likely in the 70s... but RUclips doesn't seem to have it anymore.)
I think this series is deep down based on Leslie Headland's own like childhood and aspects of her life? I've been reading up on her and there's certain things about her having fell out with her sister supposedly to do with her sexuality coming out as "queer". It's becoming more and more of a thing where modern writers today have to keep writing themselves into their work, and I'm seeing quite a few similarities to Leslie and these "Dyad twins" if they can be called that. Headland is gay, her sister is straight - Mae is the sort of messed up sister, Osha turned out as the "normal" sister. 4:35 that clip you shared of the Matriarch woman leader of the witch coven, and her partner. That is kinda similar to Leslie Headland and her wife Rebecca Henderson. Where the one says - "I carried them" and the other says - "I created them". Leslie and her partner do have a baby daughter named Winona who was born funny enough, on May 4th just last year. Ofcourse having children and starting a Family is a wonderful thing and it's natural some people will want to write certain things in their lives into the stories they create. But if you really add up what there appears to be so far in this show, two "sisters" twins, *Created* through unnatural means, by way of the force. The Jedi Order of this time involved and connected in some way to discovering this witch coven, and being involved in this particular group of "force sensitives". The two sisters, one turning out *Good* the other let's just say, messed up. I guess where I'm going with this may seem somewhat controversial, but these people writing all this modern stuff, they're obviously writing much of themselves into their work, they see themselves as challenging the status quo of society, by the particular way they live their life. They're always going on about "Identity Politics" and "Representation". Seeing themselves *REPRESENTED* in Entertainment. And so I can't help but view this series, NOT even on the surface level of a "Star Wars Story", but I'm looking at it purely from the perspective of what individuals like Leslie Headland are trying to actually say; about themselves, about how they view society. CHILDREN are conceived through two parents, a Mother and a Father, this is even a thing in the "Galaxy Far, Far Away". That's just the fundamental Fact of Biological Life. Here we have this all-women, lesbian witch coven, who use the force in such a way, where they "pull at a strand" of the force, manipulate to "Create Life" by UNATURAL means. This went WRONG, like quite badly when we look at how Mae seems to have turned out. But what this witch coven may seem to believe they can do, or try to do is "Create" a Immaculate life, much like Anakin. Although Anakin was created by the *Force* itself, the midiclorians pushing back against one individual who was trying to manipulate those midiclorians. Is Leslie Headland trying to like maybe say something about Gay people having children? A Gay woman can "carry a child" in her, but it still needs the sperm from a Man; IVF. I dunno, maybe i'm just looking too much into all of this.
Once they’ve strayed from the very human instinct of the heroes journey / Golden Fleece type of good vs evil storytelling since we’ve had since the dawn of time and turned their motivation into that of activism, they’ve failed at everything for everyone.
They believe that by telling stories, they can influence reality to be what they believe it *should* be. But all they do is create a divide between the deluded and the real, and many screeching voices that can’t cope with the challenges of life. In reality, people need stories that we can carry with us and inspire us to overcome difficulties unto growth; these days so many stories like this merely wallow in their feelings of oppression without actually representing most people’s experiences. Great stories point to a deeper reality that we can learn from. Even an ordinarily good story will assert some opinion or observation of the writer(s) through subtext and themes. Bad stories tend to be purely self-indulgent fantasies without any regard for the audience.
I tapped out and canceled my Disney+ subscription. I agree almost exactly, but I'll add this: the writing here comes off so much more lazily off of the heels of the razor-sharp dialogue and voice acting of X-Men '97. Perhaps Star Wars should stay purely animated for a while... It would be a better product and cost a lot less.
Those who think Star Wars is dead, well, I know where they're coming from, but they have allowed activists to define Star Wars. They have persuaded you to think of their reanimated corpse when you think of Star Wars. Behind their illusion, Star Wars is still what it has always been, and it remains alive in the hearts and minds of everyone who remembers it.
Great god in heaven. Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse. The sequels was the assassination of the original Star Wars characters. The Acolyte is the assassination of the mythology. Awesome job Michelle. Your analysis on The Acolyte is my favorite over everyone else. Oh by the way, those cute arm freckles are driving me bonkers.😊👍
Sorry, I meant to say sequels. But yeah, I agree with you 100%. I was definitely a little too hard on the prequels. Although I didn’t like them, I certainly didn’t hate them as much as I thought I did, considering the raw sewage we got with the sequels. Sorry George, I think I owe you a well over due apology. Shame on me.
@@ForceOfLightEntertainmentSorry Michelle, I meant to say the Sequels were the assassination of the original Star Wars characters. The prequels are okay in my book. Now more than ever.🙂
I thought from the prequels that Darth Plaguis used the Dark side to create life. Would this mean the witches are using the Dark Side? If they are then how can they be good?
George Lucas hand picked Kathleen Kennedy to take over Lucasfilm when he sold it to Disney. He'd worked with her since 1981 and Raiders of the Lost Ark (though she was working directly for Spielberg, not Lucas on that film), and after a decades-long association, no doubt thought she understood Star Wars as well as anyone, considered her a personal friend, and no doubt thought he could trust her to take care of his legacy. He simply _has_ to feel terribly betrayed at this point. He probably suspected things were going to go awry when they threw away the story treatments he gave them for the next chapter. It wasn't in the contract, but from what I've read, Lucas walked away from the sale thinking he had a solid, handshake agreement that they were going to use those treatments he gave them. He openly expressed disappointment after The Force Awakens, and saw that it was just a rehash of episode IV's plot; he even said, with obvious disappointment, "there's nothing new." He said The Last Jedi was "beautifully made" -- which is the kind of thing someone says when they _have_ to find something positive to say about a movie they don't actually like. He's recently gone on record that he doesn't think anyone else understood the Force -- and one can't help but take that as a pointed comment on what the current makers of Star Wars properties are doing with it. And after this series dropped... I mean, my God, it's like they watched that South Park episode, and took it as a playbook instead of recognizing it as mockery. Lucas has to be careful what he says in public, but I would _love_ to know what he really thinks about Disney Star Wars, especially after this.
The pure fiery passion when talking about the Jedi seriously hit me in the heart, could hear the hurt, sittin here goin "SAY IT FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK"
I know how to make the Acolyte canon AND save Lucas' original pristine vision. Have an after end credits scene on the last episode of The Acolyte. Alec Guiness' Obi-wan is on the Falcon headed for the death star with Han, Luke, and Chewbacca. His eyes are closed. They fly open and he momentarily grimmaces. Luke asks, "What is it Ben?" Obi-wan: "I heard millions of souls cry out at once "the thread!" in agony and then it was gone. Luke: Was it a great disturbance in the Force? Obi-Wan: No... I know I shouldn't eat guacomole and limberg cheese late at night. I'm going back to bed. Good night." The falcon proceeds to the Death Star and all continues as it always has before.
Prediction: I’m hearing a lot of chatter from other YT channels regarding this episode/Osha & Mae’s conception that this is giving way to Darth Plagieus coming into live action, possibly with how he and Palpatine messed with the midi chlorians to conceive Anakin (I’d be excited for this, if it weren’t for Leslye’s show running and writing and the likelihood that THAT is where we are heading here). To be honest, I haven’t been too bothered by this show; I’ve just found it kind of aimless, lengthy, imperfect and unnecessary. But I’ll tell you what will boil my buttons - if they use this show to bring in Plageius and Anakin’s conception - with Mother Aniseya being the one to teach him how to use the dark side/magic (whatever she used) to influence midi chlorian conception, as if he and Palpatine (you know, both males - for now, anyway) were not able to find this ability themselves and needed a POC rainbow witch (force is female, indeed) to guide them. Would totally befit the modern DEI/progressive push Leslye, KK, Lucasfilm and Disney cherish…to their detriment. Just a theory, but it hit me once I heard plagieus’s name after watching the episode…and it seems too obvious a possibility for me to ignore
It is now necessary to categorise Star Wars for the sake of our sanity. There is ‘Lucas Star Wars’, ‘Disney Star Wars’ and, now, ‘Leslie Headland’s “The Acolyte” (well said, Michelle).
I am be honest: When YOU reference about what the jedi are , what they have done in the first 6 STAR WARS LUCAS FILMS ---> and this is how it should be inspire us as humans / audience to become a better person ... ... and i see what disney did to that right now ... ---> ... it brought some tears to my eyes !!! R.I.P. Star Wars ✝ A great review !!! - Thank you !
Thanks for watching that Crap Wars Crapolyte for us. I've watched a bunch of reviews and I haven't heard one good thing about it. I'm not going to waste my time watching it.
I agree with you. I have said they fooled us because it “looks watchable” until you get into it. I’ve tried to be open minded with every Star Wars labeled show and this one shouldn’t be called Star Wars. The Wookiee and the light saber are the only thing telling me Star Wars in this episode. Well done review! Brett with 2 T’s. :) 👍🏻
Bob Igor must be panicking right now. Dr Who crashing, The Acolyte a burning wreck. What big show or movie do they even have around to pull out good numbers for next financial meeting. I tell you, it will be a great to see how Bob Igor tries to squirm his way through upcoming investor call. The numbers, ALL numbers look just horrible.
bastardising source material to this extent only drives two ideologies further apart, validating both sides while taking away constructive and critical discussion around very important social issues. In this case it seems to have driven away its intended audience. Representation is important but only does the job if it isn't a clown show inclined towards ruining a once phenomena of a cinematic world. Imagine being a part of a demographic, and people now see you, your preferences/demographic as the reason their favourite thing is now a dumpster fire.
FYI Forbes changed the title of their review from “the worst star wars episode ever made” to “one of the most disappointing ‘star wars’ episodes ever made”, but the URL is still unchanged and has the original title.
You have to know that they don't have the courage to let the fire really be May's fault. They are definitely going to twist it so the Jedi are somehow in the wrong. They will not allow May to be the real bad guy in the end.
Recently found your channel -- Love it! You communicate your ideas thoughtfully, but also with no BS...its perfect. I definitely agree with your Acolyte Ep 3 opinion. Its malicious disregard for basic good & evil seems like the whole point, and that is the antithesis of Star Wars. Its Leslye Headland: My Story in Space Fanfic. The show is made for one person, Headland. The phonies pretending to enjoy it are just being tribal -- its objectively a terribly written show, besides its immoral world view. Amway -- Ill be checking out your future reviews, fo sho' - Cheers!
First comes the genuine,the original, then comes the counterfeit, the fake. It happened in Genesis, it happens in money, and it happens in movie franchises.
Leslye Headland’s “The Acolyte” is accomplishing what I believe she intends it to do: the desecration of the corpse of the legitimate “Star Wars” franchise, which was killed by the combination of disrespect, contempt, incompetence, and ignorance of Disney/LucasFilm.
Oddly enough, breaking up the flashbacks was the one thing about Andor that sort of bothered me. Though I do agree that Disney seems to be clueless when it comes to putting together a mini series. Even the ones I've liked usually felt a little off in their pacing.
KK said it was a good Star Wars show? Don't think she's in a position to pass that judgement, she's clearly demonstrated she knows NOTHING about what makes good Star Wars!
THANK YOU, Michelle!! Awesome review and analysis as always. I fully agree with you. And I may have mentioned this in your previous SW: The Acolyte review, but I'll say it yet again anyway: The Left has destroyed Star Wars, Star Trek, the Bill & Ted Excellent Adventures franchise and many more. Movie and TV shows prequels/remakes/sequels like The Acolyte should be classified as 'Studio-Funded-Activists-Fiction' that does not impact canon. I hope that one day in the not-too-distant future, common sense will again prevail, and these 'woke' offerings will be digitally watermarked as being 'Studio-Sponsored-Activists-Fiction', and are not to be taken authentic parts of the franchises...lol
🤠 Your statements reminded me of WonderWorks version of The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. Lucy asked, "Is Aslan, being a lion...safe? Mr. Beaver answers, "Did you hear what I said, He's the KIng of Beasts, a lion...No, The LION!!!....Of course, He's not safe....but HE IS good....He is THE KING!!! I enjoyed your commentary very much, quite intelligent and very well spoken. Descriptive, creative and accurate.🤘✌
@@ForceOfLightEntertainment Intelligence and beauty living together in perfect harmony, side by side on my piano, O Lord why don't we?!...sorry, it not flattery, it's truth.
The problem is Osha doesn’t really have a good reason to want to be a Jedi. We don’t know how she learned about the Jedi. It just seems really random that she wants to give up her whole identity and culture to be this thing that she knows nothing about. We need some scene, where they show her learning about the Jedi and why she wants to be one so badly. Also fire does not burn stone. Also, if all these witches died from a housefire that would make them really easy to kill, which doesn’t make any sense at all because they are so powerful, they are holding back reason why they died then they shouldn’t hold it back for so long because it just makes the show seem stupid.
In one episode, there was someone who appeared to be a Sith lord with a red light saber advising the witch girl. It looks like she is joining someone from the dark side of the force so together they can fight the Jedi. This witch-Sith combination will be made to look heroic. This must be some attempt to show female empowerment, but it looks to me like just someone selling her soul to the devil. 😊
This is just not Star Wars. I saw an interview years ago with the guy who was tasked with writing Star Trek 2. They were trying to make another movie after Star Trek the Motion Picture flopped because it didn't feel like Star Trek. So the guy said the first thing he did was get every episode of Star Trek and watch them all. If he was going to write Star Trek he needed to know what made Star Trek Star Trek.
I think there were some small things that may have been missed. Or I just took it differently than others. The witches are a group that have come up with their own understanding of the force. They think they're right, as most groups do. And while I do not think they believe the jedi are evil, they just don't want them meddling in their affairs. The girls show they are not mature enough to "ascend" as they fight during lessons. The girls' two mothers have an interesting and cryptic conversation about how the children were conceived. One almost uses it as a threat against the other, like do you want me to tell the jedi how we managed this (early cloning experiments?) I think the fire was a big mistake, I think Mar started the fire the witches rushed to see what was happening while the jedi rushed to see if they needed help and a fight ensued because the witches thought their fears were confirmed with the jedi being there when the fire started. So the jedi kill realize after it was big missunderstanding. that one guy is racked with guilt and starts waiting for someone to say 86 yourself. It could also be one mother was completely open to Osha leaving and the other wasn't, the other killed the main woman and then a revolt between the witches broke out. The kylo mask thing with the lightsaber is probably going to be the mother with the horns honestly. Anyway I think Mae is going to have miss placed hatred and a reveal at the end is going to have her question her actions. It is poorly written and it seems it's only purpose is to showcase how every female is superior to the majority of males. I like that you weren't afraid to point out diversity although it is a big galaxy. I'd welcome more aliens rather than more human races.
I don't get who killed the witches and why? Was the jedi doing it to make sure there's no retaliation? Were they possessed by the horned witch mother to try and stop osha going with the jedi? Either way it's a bit OTT just for one kid lol
Largely what they've been doing, (They being Kathleen Kennedy and Leslye Headland) at this point it feels to me like it's being done out of sheer spite.
🙎 This show continues the tropes from Rise of Skywalker (power of one, power of two, power of many): the witches give their Force lives to create a Sith Lord vessel who will turn out to be Tenebrous or Plagueis, and the sisters are a Force dyad. At the end, the sisters, or maybe just one, will Force feed the Sith Lord.
Show dont tell. That is a important thing with writing. Why do these Witches see the Jedi as evil? Granted when it comes to the no father thing, there was that line said "I carried them. Yes but I made them. And what do you think the Jedi will have to say about HOW you made them." So I personally dont think its just midichlorians made the twins, but rather witchy stuff that is more then likely frowned upon. I also have a feeling since it make NO SENSE as to how everyone died to the fire. You said it, the place was made of stone. When it started going up in flame I was really trying to look and I think I saw some wood... but that wood was surrounded but stone and no was it was going to spread as fast as it did.... then again this show wrote a scene where fire was in face... you know the thing that needs AIR to survive. But part of me really thinks they are going to have a scene down the road somehow showing that the Jedi spread the fire and killed the witches. I dont know how they possible could do that but I really cant fathom how the one guy went 10 years of meditation cause of guilt and needing forgiveness. Forgiveness for what?! Showing up to a planet to see if there was force sensitive children and GIVING them the choice to join you? Trust me im not defending this show at all. But if you wanted to show us the viewers that the Jedi are as "evil" as our "heros" say they are... THEN DO THAT!!! The entire episode I had my eyes and ears focused on anything the Jedi did or said cause I was HOPING they were going to make them into jerks of some kind. But nope, we got what you think a Jedi would be. Kind, caring and even respectful. They never once said "Yep the kids are force sensitive time to steal them away *twirls mustache and laughs*" Sol even said "Its your choice" Until the itches who I guess are just so hypocritical. They keep saying there is choice. Osha keeps saying "I want to be a Jedi, I dont want to just stay here and be another Mae." But the witches are forcing her to be a witch.... but you just said we all make our choices... unless its the wrong choice I guess?
Hello, Dr. Michelle. I honestly thought this week's episode was a little better, but more power to those--you included--who despise it. I got a perfect alternative to "The Acolyte": the "Final Cut" fan-edit of the original "Star Wars" trilogy. It's a RUclips search away. You won't be disappointed any further.

I just don't know what it's going to take before Disney realizes their version of Star Wars is horrible. I remember going to see The Star Wars as it was originally in the theater.

Funny how the Forbes article originally said, "the worst ever made" and quickly changed it to "the most disappointing".
Wow
People call it a fanfic for a reason. It has all the attributes including Headland's inability to grasp the concept of writing for the audience. A (bad) fanfic writer just writes up their own limited and subjective one-dimensional personal itch. Most of the time most people won't find that to be a captivating story.
I don't see any fans involved in this.
It really was just a self-insert therapy session.

I 100% agere with u Michelle Star Wars is a story about HOPE and a morality tale. I dont have kids but i am a uncle. And i was so looking forward to showing Star Wars to my
niece and nephew... Now i dont know what to show them after Return og the Jedi.. It is no longer the Star Wars that shaped me and the choices i make. I appreciate your
enthusiasm for everything u and Natalie pur out. Good Job!😊
Thank you!! I think Lucas six movies and Mando season 1-2 are good for kids!
What they have completely forgot about is that Yoda would be around 600 years old and never spoke of these People.
In every Lucas Film He never mentions these Witches once, obviously.
It is just nonsense and pushing there own personal agenda thru Star Wars ?
She is strong with the thread sounds like something you would say at a sewing bee

My girlfriend asked, "Why are we watching an episode of Charmed?" and she was not joking she really thought episode 3 was a bad episode of Charmed.

I expect Leslye Foreheadland is quite proud of herself.
My hopes are as broken as the hymens and dreams of those starlets Leslie worked on the casting couch for Hervey.......😂
Well said, sir... well said.

Ew. Creep
Ouch....now, that`s poetry. Lol.
Sci Fi in 2024: Harvey Weinstein's fmr Personal Assistant presents 'Lesbians in space; light sabres which once could cut through blast doors now, when driven through someone's abdomen, create a wound that can be walked off; Zach Snyder gives us coal fired spaceships; Star Trek has dancing Klingons and after 60 years Dr Who is wearing a skirt (don't tell me it's a kilt) kissing blokes and his companion gets killed halfway through the first season. I saw Star Wars (ep.IV if you must) at the cinema in 1977 and from that time and through the eighties SciFi seemed to have no boundaries. Funny that the people who shout loudly about breaking down boundaries are the same people who are creating the new ones.
How does Disney and KK keep producing terrible quality movies and shows while losing billions of dollar, still have a job? So many more qualified and actually talented people could have made something really incredible with Star Wars.
Oh my god! I have watched a lot of people review this episode and I kept thinking "WE DIDN'T START THE FIRE!" and you are the one reviewer that said it. Thank you.
Well stated with great eloquence. I chanced upon your channel because of one of your film reviews (I can't tell you which one because it's top secret 🤫) and I'm really happy that I did because you and your sister are forces to be reckoned with! I hope you get some liason with Gary/Will etc because you're up there with them and would integrate well.
Aww thank you!!
The mere fact that the outside nature is dangerous and that out of a hundred adults no one can prevent the only two children from leaving the castle turns the Jedis into social workers who should intervene.
I remember my grandma told me, no matter what they teach you at Jedi school, there's no good or evil in the force it's only about power..p.s...Anakin Skywalker blew up the DeathStar.
I remember watching an interview of George Lucas about why he created Star Wars. He (roughly, paraphrasing from memory) stated how he wanted a morality tale of good vs evil, as this was missing at that time in theaters. So Star Wars was intentionally Good Vs Evil. All these people stating in interviews how this world is more nuanced and there should be more grey goop in Star Wars are entirely missing the point. (wish I could find the interview... it was a younger George, likely in the 70s... but RUclips doesn't seem to have it anymore.)
I think this series is deep down based on Leslie Headland's own like childhood and aspects of her life? I've been reading up on her and there's certain things about her having fell out with her sister supposedly to do with her sexuality coming out as "queer". It's becoming more and more of a thing where modern writers today have to keep writing themselves into their work, and I'm seeing quite a few similarities to Leslie and these "Dyad twins" if they can be called that.
Headland is gay, her sister is straight - Mae is the sort of messed up sister, Osha turned out as the "normal" sister. 4:35 that clip you shared of the Matriarch woman leader of the witch coven, and her partner. That is kinda similar to Leslie Headland and her wife Rebecca Henderson. Where the one says - "I carried them" and the other says - "I created them". Leslie and her partner do have a baby daughter named Winona who was born funny enough, on May 4th just last year.
Ofcourse having children and starting a Family is a wonderful thing and it's natural some people will want to write certain things in their lives into the stories they create. But if you really add up what there appears to be so far in this show, two "sisters" twins, *Created* through unnatural means, by way of the force. The Jedi Order of this time involved and connected in some way to discovering this witch coven, and being involved in this particular group of "force sensitives". The two sisters, one turning out *Good* the other let's just say, messed up.
I guess where I'm going with this may seem somewhat controversial, but these people writing all this modern stuff, they're obviously writing much of themselves into their work, they see themselves as challenging the status quo of society, by the particular way they live their life. They're always going on about "Identity Politics" and "Representation". Seeing themselves *REPRESENTED* in Entertainment. And so I can't help but view this series, NOT even on the surface level of a "Star Wars Story", but I'm looking at it purely from the perspective of what individuals like Leslie Headland are trying to actually say; about themselves, about how they view society.
CHILDREN are conceived through two parents, a Mother and a Father, this is even a thing in the "Galaxy Far, Far Away". That's just the fundamental Fact of Biological Life. Here we have this all-women, lesbian witch coven, who use the force in such a way, where they "pull at a strand" of the force, manipulate to "Create Life" by UNATURAL means. This went WRONG, like quite badly when we look at how Mae seems to have turned out. But what this witch coven may seem to believe they can do, or try to do is "Create" a Immaculate life, much like Anakin. Although Anakin was created by the *Force* itself, the midiclorians pushing back against one individual who was trying to manipulate those midiclorians.
Is Leslie Headland trying to like maybe say something about Gay people having children? A Gay woman can "carry a child" in her, but it still needs the sperm from a Man; IVF. I dunno, maybe i'm just looking too much into all of this.
Once they’ve strayed from the very human instinct of the heroes journey / Golden Fleece type of good vs evil storytelling since we’ve had since the dawn of time and turned their motivation into that of activism, they’ve failed at everything for everyone.
💯
They believe that by telling stories, they can influence reality to be what they believe it *should* be. But all they do is create a divide between the deluded and the real, and many screeching voices that can’t cope with the challenges of life. In reality, people need stories that we can carry with us and inspire us to overcome difficulties unto growth; these days so many stories like this merely wallow in their feelings of oppression without actually representing most people’s experiences.
Great stories point to a deeper reality that we can learn from. Even an ordinarily good story will assert some opinion or observation of the writer(s) through subtext and themes. Bad stories tend to be purely self-indulgent fantasies without any regard for the audience.
Modern feminism has ruined something else? what no way 😮
I tapped out and canceled my Disney+ subscription. I agree almost exactly, but I'll add this: the writing here comes off so much more lazily off of the heels of the razor-sharp dialogue and voice acting of X-Men '97. Perhaps Star Wars should stay purely animated for a while... It would be a better product and cost a lot less.
I dont care if Disney wants to do this kind of stuff but call it something else, thats not star wars materials
Those who think Star Wars is dead, well, I know where they're coming from, but they have allowed activists to define Star Wars. They have persuaded you to think of their reanimated corpse when you think of Star Wars. Behind their illusion, Star Wars is still what it has always been, and it remains alive in the hearts and minds of everyone who remembers it.
Great god in heaven. Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse. The sequels was the assassination of the original Star Wars characters. The Acolyte is the assassination of the mythology. Awesome job Michelle. Your analysis on The Acolyte is my favorite over everyone else. Oh by the way, those cute arm freckles are driving me bonkers.😊👍
Thanks!!
The Prequels were Shakespeare compared the horrendous dumpster fire that is this abomination known as The Acolyte 🤦
Sorry, I meant to say sequels. But yeah, I agree with you 100%. I was definitely a little too hard on the prequels. Although I didn’t like them, I certainly didn’t hate them as much as I thought I did, considering the raw sewage we got with the sequels. Sorry George, I think I owe you a well over due apology. Shame on me.
@@ForceOfLightEntertainmentSorry Michelle, I meant to say the Sequels were the assassination of the original Star Wars characters. The prequels are okay in my book. Now more than ever.🙂
I thought from the prequels that Darth Plaguis used the Dark side to create life. Would this mean the witches are using the Dark Side? If they are then how can they be good?
Outstanding review! Right on point! Thank you very much!
Thanks for watching!!
George Lucas hand picked Kathleen Kennedy to take over Lucasfilm when he sold it to Disney. He'd worked with her since 1981 and Raiders of the Lost Ark (though she was working directly for Spielberg, not Lucas on that film), and after a decades-long association, no doubt thought she understood Star Wars as well as anyone, considered her a personal friend, and no doubt thought he could trust her to take care of his legacy.
He simply _has_ to feel terribly betrayed at this point. He probably suspected things were going to go awry when they threw away the story treatments he gave them for the next chapter. It wasn't in the contract, but from what I've read, Lucas walked away from the sale thinking he had a solid, handshake agreement that they were going to use those treatments he gave them. He openly expressed disappointment after The Force Awakens, and saw that it was just a rehash of episode IV's plot; he even said, with obvious disappointment, "there's nothing new." He said The Last Jedi was "beautifully made" -- which is the kind of thing someone says when they _have_ to find something positive to say about a movie they don't actually like. He's recently gone on record that he doesn't think anyone else understood the Force -- and one can't help but take that as a pointed comment on what the current makers of Star Wars properties are doing with it.
And after this series dropped... I mean, my God, it's like they watched that South Park episode, and took it as a playbook instead of recognizing it as mockery. Lucas has to be careful what he says in public, but I would _love_ to know what he really thinks about Disney Star Wars, especially after this.
Why is Disney so hellbent on villainizing the Jedi?
Im going to have to be careful next time i force open a sliding door, i might get someone pregnant 😂
The pure fiery passion when talking about the Jedi seriously hit me in the heart, could hear the hurt, sittin here goin "SAY IT FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK"
I know how to make the Acolyte canon AND save Lucas' original pristine vision. Have an after end credits scene on the last episode of The Acolyte. Alec Guiness' Obi-wan is on the Falcon headed for the death star with Han, Luke, and Chewbacca. His eyes are closed. They fly open and he momentarily grimmaces. Luke asks, "What is it Ben?" Obi-wan: "I heard millions of souls cry out at once "the thread!" in agony and then it was gone. Luke: Was it a great disturbance in the Force? Obi-Wan: No... I know I shouldn't eat guacomole and limberg cheese late at night. I'm going back to bed. Good night." The falcon proceeds to the Death Star and all continues as it always has before.
Prediction:
I’m hearing a lot of chatter from other YT channels regarding this episode/Osha & Mae’s conception that this is giving way to Darth Plagieus coming into live action, possibly with how he and Palpatine messed with the midi chlorians to conceive Anakin (I’d be excited for this, if it weren’t for Leslye’s show running and writing and the likelihood that THAT is where we are heading here). To be honest, I haven’t been too bothered by this show; I’ve just found it kind of aimless, lengthy, imperfect and unnecessary. But I’ll tell you what will boil my buttons - if they use this show to bring in Plageius and Anakin’s conception - with Mother Aniseya being the one to teach him how to use the dark side/magic (whatever she used) to influence midi chlorian conception, as if he and Palpatine (you know, both males - for now, anyway) were not able to find this ability themselves and needed a POC rainbow witch (force is female, indeed) to guide them. Would totally befit the modern DEI/progressive push Leslye, KK, Lucasfilm and Disney cherish…to their detriment.
Just a theory, but it hit me once I heard plagieus’s name after watching the episode…and it seems too obvious a possibility for me to ignore
Darth Plagieus is a woman now lol
@@daniels3401 wait…is that true, or are we both suspecting the same is in store? 🙂
It is now necessary to categorise Star Wars for the sake of our sanity. There is ‘Lucas Star Wars’, ‘Disney Star Wars’ and, now, ‘Leslie Headland’s “The Acolyte” (well said, Michelle).
Even Michelle singing Billy Joel can't save this series 🙏
The scary part of ACOSHYTE is the flashbacks ain’t done yet 😂😂😂😂

I love how worked up about this you got. The Force is strong with you
I am be honest: When YOU reference about what the jedi are , what they have done in the first 6 STAR WARS LUCAS FILMS ---> and this is how it should be inspire us as humans / audience to become a better person ...
... and i see what disney did to that right now ...

Thanks for watching that Crap Wars Crapolyte for us. I've watched a bunch of reviews and I haven't heard one good thing about it. I'm not going to waste my time watching it.
I agree with you. I have said they fooled us because it “looks watchable” until you get into it. I’ve tried to be open minded with every Star Wars labeled show and this one shouldn’t be called Star Wars. The Wookiee and the light saber are the only thing telling me Star Wars in this episode. Well done review!

Thanks!
Bob Igor must be panicking right now. Dr Who crashing, The Acolyte a burning wreck. What big show or movie do they even have around to pull out good numbers for next financial meeting. I tell you, it will be a great to see how Bob Igor tries to squirm his way through upcoming investor call. The numbers, ALL numbers look just horrible.
Imagine being on set, hearing the chant, and everybody agreeing "that was great".
I thought that too. There would’ve been tears of accomplishment

bastardising source material to this extent only drives two ideologies further apart, validating both sides while taking away constructive and critical discussion around very important social issues. In this case it seems to have driven away its intended audience. Representation is important but only does the job if it isn't a clown show inclined towards ruining a once phenomena of a cinematic world. Imagine being a part of a demographic, and people now see you, your preferences/demographic as the reason their favourite thing is now a dumpster fire.
FYI Forbes changed the title of their review from “the worst star wars episode ever made” to “one of the most disappointing ‘star wars’ episodes ever made”, but the URL is still unchanged and has the original title.
Thanks for your insight Michelle!
Thanks for watching!
You have to know that they don't have the courage to let the fire really be May's fault. They are definitely going to twist it so the Jedi are somehow in the wrong. They will not allow May to be the real bad guy in the end.
Great breakdown of the situation. Sharp insights. Thanks!
Like I've been saying for a while, they can put the Star Wars label on it and pretend but this is NOT Star Wars.
Recently found your channel -- Love it! You communicate your ideas thoughtfully, but also with no BS...its perfect. I definitely agree with your Acolyte Ep 3 opinion. Its malicious disregard for basic good & evil seems like the whole point, and that is the antithesis of Star Wars. Its Leslye Headland: My Story in Space Fanfic. The show is made for one person, Headland. The phonies pretending to enjoy it are just being tribal -- its objectively a terribly written show, besides its immoral world view. Amway -- Ill be checking out your future reviews, fo sho' - Cheers!
I liked that point you made about this episode being sprinkled throughout others. They definitely should've done it that way.
Thanks! It would have been much more interesting and mysterious
Thank god someone finally talked about the anakin problem and makes him pretty much pointless
First comes the genuine,the original, then comes the counterfeit, the fake. It happened in Genesis, it happens in money, and it happens in movie franchises.
What in Genesis are you referring to? Not trying to start an argument, just curious
Leslye Headland’s “The Acolyte” is accomplishing what I believe she intends it to do: the desecration of the corpse of the legitimate “Star Wars” franchise, which was killed by the combination of disrespect, contempt, incompetence, and ignorance of Disney/LucasFilm.
Oddly enough, breaking up the flashbacks was the one thing about Andor that sort of bothered me. Though I do agree that Disney seems to be clueless when it comes to putting together a mini series. Even the ones I've liked usually felt a little off in their pacing.
I was also bothered by this show saying Jedi are evil.
KK said it was a good Star Wars show? Don't think she's in a position to pass that judgement, she's clearly demonstrated she knows NOTHING about what makes good Star Wars!
THANK YOU, Michelle!! Awesome review and analysis as always. I fully agree with you. And I may have mentioned this in your previous SW: The Acolyte review, but I'll say it yet again anyway: The Left has destroyed Star Wars, Star Trek, the Bill & Ted Excellent Adventures franchise and many more. Movie and TV shows prequels/remakes/sequels like The Acolyte should be classified as 'Studio-Funded-Activists-Fiction' that does not impact canon. I hope that one day in the not-too-distant future, common sense will again prevail, and these 'woke' offerings will be digitally watermarked as being 'Studio-Sponsored-Activists-Fiction', and are not to be taken authentic parts of the franchises...lol
Thanks!
🤠 Your statements reminded me of WonderWorks version of The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. Lucy asked, "Is Aslan, being a lion...safe?

I am grateful that I don’t have Disney plus. I have not seen any of the Star Wars tv series. I think your shirt is very fashionable
it is enough to watch reviews, here or Disparu. Much more enjoyable than watching the show
A long time ago in a galaxy far away stone was flammable.
Apparently 😂
The problem is Osha doesn’t really have a good reason to want to be a Jedi. We don’t know how she learned about the Jedi. It just seems really random that she wants to give up her whole identity and culture to be this thing that she knows nothing about. We need some scene, where they show her learning about the Jedi and why she wants to be one so badly. Also fire does not burn stone. Also, if all these witches died from a housefire that would make them really easy to kill, which doesn’t make any sense at all because they are so powerful, they are holding back reason why they died then they shouldn’t hold it back for so long because it just makes the show seem stupid.
In one episode, there was someone who appeared to be a Sith lord with a red light saber advising the witch girl. It looks like she is joining someone from the dark side of the force so together they can fight the Jedi. This witch-Sith combination will be made to look heroic. This must be some attempt to show female empowerment, but it looks to me like just someone selling her soul to the devil. 😊
Came out the gate swinging! So glad I don't watch Disney Star Wars anymore. Awesome video 🤘
Thank you!!
I agree with all of your thoughts here about this show. And I love the rename of the show title. Removing "Star Wars" from the title.
This is just not Star Wars.
I saw an interview years ago with the guy who was tasked with writing Star Trek 2. They were trying to make another movie after Star Trek the Motion Picture flopped because it didn't feel like Star Trek. So the guy said the first thing he did was get every episode of Star Trek and watch them all. If he was going to write Star Trek he needed to know what made Star Trek Star Trek.
Nailed it! Not a Star Wars show. Totally agree.👍😎
Thank you!
I like the way you think. Subbed.
Thank you! ☺️
I think there were some small things that may have been missed. Or I just took it differently than others. The witches are a group that have come up with their own understanding of the force. They think they're right, as most groups do. And while I do not think they believe the jedi are evil, they just don't want them meddling in their affairs. The girls show they are not mature enough to "ascend" as they fight during lessons. The girls' two mothers have an interesting and cryptic conversation about how the children were conceived. One almost uses it as a threat against the other, like do you want me to tell the jedi how we managed this (early cloning experiments?) I think the fire was a big mistake, I think Mar started the fire the witches rushed to see what was happening while the jedi rushed to see if they needed help and a fight ensued because the witches thought their fears were confirmed with the jedi being there when the fire started. So the jedi kill realize after it was big missunderstanding. that one guy is racked with guilt and starts waiting for someone to say 86 yourself. It could also be one mother was completely open to Osha leaving and the other wasn't, the other killed the main woman and then a revolt between the witches broke out. The kylo mask thing with the lightsaber is probably going to be the mother with the horns honestly. Anyway I think Mae is going to have miss placed hatred and a reveal at the end is going to have her question her actions. It is poorly written and it seems it's only purpose is to showcase how every female is superior to the majority of males. I like that you weren't afraid to point out diversity although it is a big galaxy. I'd welcome more aliens rather than more human races.
I don't get who killed the witches and why? Was the jedi doing it to make sure there's no retaliation? Were they possessed by the horned witch mother to try and stop osha going with the jedi? Either way it's a bit OTT just for one kid lol
Largely what they've been doing, (They being Kathleen Kennedy and Leslye Headland) at this point it feels to me like it's being done out of sheer spite.
Great review! Have a bless day!
Thank you! You too!
You're welcome!

Blimey Michelle you nailed it 100%
Plot twist when it's revealed that the fire was actually caused by friction from all the witches violently scissoring simultaneously.
🎶 🎵 We didn't start the fire...
We were just scissoring madly and burst into flames sadly... 🎶 🎵
I think you have the most thought out conclusion of anybody in the fandom . You are fantastic. "The force will be with you, always.
Aww thank you!!
🙎 This show continues the tropes from Rise of Skywalker (power of one, power of two, power of many): the witches give their Force lives to create a Sith Lord vessel who will turn out to be Tenebrous or Plagueis, and the sisters are a Force dyad. At the end, the sisters, or maybe just one, will Force feed the Sith Lord.
I think KK and Leslye headland hates George Lucas and just loves destroying what he made
I'm surprised they didn't have a sprinkler system in the place that caught fire ! This is definitely an OSHA violation )!
😆
The Fallout show did the flashback method you’re talking about 👌 great. You’re right
Show dont tell. That is a important thing with writing. Why do these Witches see the Jedi as evil? Granted when it comes to the no father thing, there was that line said "I carried them. Yes but I made them. And what do you think the Jedi will have to say about HOW you made them." So I personally dont think its just midichlorians made the twins, but rather witchy stuff that is more then likely frowned upon. I also have a feeling since it make NO SENSE as to how everyone died to the fire. You said it, the place was made of stone. When it started going up in flame I was really trying to look and I think I saw some wood... but that wood was surrounded but stone and no was it was going to spread as fast as it did.... then again this show wrote a scene where fire was in face... you know the thing that needs AIR to survive. But part of me really thinks they are going to have a scene down the road somehow showing that the Jedi spread the fire and killed the witches. I dont know how they possible could do that but I really cant fathom how the one guy went 10 years of meditation cause of guilt and needing forgiveness. Forgiveness for what?! Showing up to a planet to see if there was force sensitive children and GIVING them the choice to join you?
Trust me im not defending this show at all. But if you wanted to show us the viewers that the Jedi are as "evil" as our "heros" say they are... THEN DO THAT!!! The entire episode I had my eyes and ears focused on anything the Jedi did or said cause I was HOPING they were going to make them into jerks of some kind. But nope, we got what you think a Jedi would be. Kind, caring and even respectful. They never once said "Yep the kids are force sensitive time to steal them away *twirls mustache and laughs*" Sol even said "Its your choice" Until the itches who I guess are just so hypocritical. They keep saying there is choice. Osha keeps saying "I want to be a Jedi, I dont want to just stay here and be another Mae." But the witches are forcing her to be a witch.... but you just said we all make our choices... unless its the wrong choice I guess?
Hello, Dr. Michelle. I honestly thought this week's episode was a little better, but more power to those--you included--who despise it. I got a perfect alternative to "The Acolyte": the "Final Cut" fan-edit of the original "Star Wars" trilogy. It's a RUclips search away. You won't be disappointed any further.
Oh cool! Do you have a link?
