"First woman to make a Starwars" Yet again, Disney fails to acknowledge the work of Marcia Lucas, the real First woman to make a Starwars. Disney loves this false narrative that there weren't any women working on Starwars until they stepped in. Almost like Disney hates women.
@@bayonetta8418 well said I expect nothing less from one of the original badass female characters. Over and over I’d constantly hear Kathleen and her Drones constantly saying so and so is the first female_____ of Star Wars. And I’d constantly say do they really think no female actually helped in the making of Star Wars or is it cause none of those women were bragging to everyone that they helped so they don’t count?
Maria Lucas was pretty much the anti-Kathleen Kennedy. Without her, Star Wars would never have been what it became during it's pre-Disney Golden Age. George was the effects pioneer but Maria was the soul, imo.( She practically deserves a medal for her contributions.). And KK was the one who turned on the flamethrower.

@-dtuyhnjhggvjjjn What is the likeihood that a movie that is build on the basis laid out by bad material ends up being well constructed. Making Grogu an even more central character is an even bigger mistake. Just because a character is cute, doesn't mean you should try to jam him into every storyline you can manage. That's only one of the problems of the third season, but based on the title, they are they are really doubling down on putting style over substance.
3:25 let's not forget that not only did she blow up into a huge black smoke monster with black eyes, extended jaw and sharp teeth, but she was also causing May to disintegrate right in front of the jedi. How did anyone writing this think any reasonable person might think that what she was doing might have been a good thing?
@@VexdinLord To be more specific, she was trying to "Have Mae become one with the force in a way that doesn't kill her" To some, that may ring a bell or two because becoming one with the force but retaining your individuality is how Force Ghosts work. So either they can go back and fourth between Force Ghost and corporeal as they please or Anaseya (or however it's spelled) decided to (for all intents and purposes,) kill her daughter.
In terms of the extended jaw, I checked for visual comparisons. I had wondered if the human jaw might hang open after death. But certainly some classic renderings of banshees, the mouth is elongated - either to convey screaming or because it's a deathly image. It's meant to carry the spectre of death. The scream film mask might be similar. It's just difficult to imagine describing it to an artist in a way that wouldn't explicitly require confirming the validity of Sol's reaction. It's not an image you get if you ask the CGI people to have her turn into an ambivalently threatening thing. My only explanation was Headland said wrote "she turns into a ghost" and expected the VFX team to think Casper the friendly ghost. Otherwise, Sol's reaction is pretty normal. It wasn't the kind of visual that allows him to think "this is fine. Let's see where this goes".
1:23 I think it says a lot when every single woman who is involved with Star Wars is "the first one ever." Headland was not the first woman to create a Star Wars series. Rey wasn’t the first female lead in Star Wars, and a new movie about her won't be the first to feature a female lead. Osha and Mae aren't the first women to fall to the dark side, just the first to celebrate that fall. Star Wars originally just showed us by example how women should be treated. There were women in power who were respected figures capable of love, leadership, and collaboration. They didn’t need to scold us about the patriarchy because they were too busy showing us why it isn’t needed. If we genuinely want progress, we need to acknowledge when it happens. Star Wars was pretty progressive in a lot of ways, but even if having female leads and directors is the only thing that counts, we can't discard the women to have already achieved that. Several directors for Season 1 of The Mandalorian were women. The director for Obi-Wan was a woman. Ahsoka was a lead in The Clone Wars long before Rey was invented. Let's give credit where credit is due, not just drop every woman who has done anything because a new one comes along who can be the "first."
It was the same with Star Trek, when they had to be overly specific in order to trumpet Burnham as 'the first black female main character' in Star Trek. They were undercut a bit by there already having been a black main character (Sisko) and a female main character (Janeway) and a bunch of black female captains and officers appearing occasionally (star trek 4, some tng eps), so they had to make 'the first black, female, main character' seem like a big deal.
The entire fan base, lol. Those that want good Star wars are in the majority. I've been feeding my Star wars itch with legends books. I'm satisfied right now.
Lmao was just speaking to a fella who believed this 😂 sigh idk why series that want to include women and minorities in prominent roles always make it obnoxious while having the men seem like baffons 😅
When the best Star Wars news is about a cancelled show. I know KK said she won’t retire until she gets a win. But we’re like 0-12 here and I don’t think the fan base cares anymore.
I’m so sick of people assuming all female Star Wars fans are Disney schills. I hated the Acolyte for the exact same reason that my male friends hated it.
@@Mangolorian-je3eo I actually find the OG fans in ALL my fandoms are the same. They are so chill and just like the old fandom and want people to like the old fandom, too.
at 10:40 She talks about how she thinks it was made to antagonize fans and divide people. She is right. Headland has admitted she like the way Ryan Johnson did that with Last Jedi. Real smart. She is a sicko indeed for many reasons.

EXACTLY ❤ Representation can be well written. Demand better quality from people wanting to have inclusionary writing. SW fans have all their lives been cool with inclusionary ideas. We however have NOT been cool when writing goes off therails, quality is poor...etc! This was nothing more than cringy tumblr fanfic. Demand better.
I am not ignorant enough to think all writers are the same because they share an irrelevant characteristic. It looks more like special identities are hired because they are incompetent.
I think Hollywood looked at TikTok, saw that ragebaiting content is a very lucrative business, and somehow thought that the same strategy could be applied to movies as well. Now they have to realise that they don't get the return investment from people being angry on the internet, but from people actually sitting down and watching their stuff.
Any show that says the Sith are good and the Jedi are evil does not understand Star Wars in the slightest! This is a victory for the fans! Let the twitteraghti gnash their teeth and shit themselves! We have had a wonderful victory!
I'd say the closest to good Sith are Darth Marr and that one Sith, who's name escapes me right now, that hasn't actually killed anyone. He just simply studied the dark side of the force.
At least the Sith are honest about what they are. The Jedi will just word salad you into submission at best and at worst kick you out without a proper investigation if you're framed for a crime you didn't commit and won't have the balls to apologize if they're proven wrong.
The Jedi and the Sith are both flawed and their respective philosophies should be explored in depth - but that’s not what “Acolyte” did! This show’s narrative reads like the diary of a confused and horny teenager that thinks the Jedi are too old and stuffy and that Sith are just plain sexy!
Some notes about this show Being "cancelled" implies that there was a second season in the works. Otherwise, they would've said a second season was not greenlit. Secondly, the show has so many major errors (major as in if one of them shows up in your script, you need to start over) that half of the show's context is in interviews about it as opposed to the show itself. Thirdly, I'm tired of people saying the newest Star Wars show has destroyed the series. The finale of the sequels did that first, Disney's just finding new ways to beat a dead horse. Finally: we as fans need to not only be vocal about what we don't like, but also vocal about what we do like, and more importantly why we feel that way.
I liked the first three minutes of Mandalorian S1 E1, and I really hoped that the show would carry that same degree of energy throughout the whole series. Unfortunately, it immediately toned down the grit and edge and gradually turned into a blatant merchandise factory and little else over the next three seasons. 100% agree on your third point, btw.
Sol was the most Jedi Jedi who ever Jedi'ed. He was near perfect, with his only flaw being that he was over-eager to help before he knew all of the details. He was heroic and wonderful. When I thought he was supposed to be the hero of the series, I had high hopes. Then, when I realized he was the antagonist, I hated the show and the wicked witch who created it. Woe to those who call evil good and good evil!
Evil can not create it can only destroy and twist - a very, very wise man and i have to agree with him. Also yeah the main "antagonist" was a dude who I would root for, he was a nearly pefect jedi of the lightsidd, im pretty sure he could have been the one of two only beings who could have saved anakin from the darkside but nope he's the villian even though he's basically the old ways of a white knight you know the ones, the man in white armor who does no evil, helps the innocent, probably pays for every orphanage he can and builds new ones and make sure their treating kids right, probably babys sits his neighborhoods kids cause he can and will buy the entire tavern all the ale they could ever drink, you know those guys the stereotypical good guy yeah he's basically him, SO WHY THE HELL IS THE BAD GUY??? EVEN THE OG FANTASY VILLIAN COMBO OF THE BLACK KNIGHT AND DRAGON WOULD SIDE EYE THIS SHIT AND THEY HATE THE WHITE KNIGHT CAUSE THIER EVIL
My only concern is that this decision to cancel the Accolyte is a wise one. And that’s not what Disney does normally. Here's hoping it stays cancelled.
That's really strange indeed. KK and her acolytes typically double down on criticism and I thought that season 2 was ready to start production if not going on already.
Oh It'll come back, they can't do it now because of the heat around it, but I also thought they were going to replace Zegler in the live action Snow White, so when the hatred for that is higher than SW, watch them announce it's back on. They just need to destroy something else in the meantime.
@@GlGAPEPEme too. Democracy is great. I hope Disney+ makes more Star Wars for fans that enjoy Star Wars Acolyte and the other Star Wars series as well.
The first time that Lesyle Headland spoke about Star Wars she couldn't say one movie as her favorite, second, she said that asking George Lucas things related to his universe was a misogynist thing. Lesyle never had respect for George Lucas, well. deserve it that Disney don't allow her having a second season. LucasFIlm should never have hired her at first palce, and if Lesyle doesn't like Star Wars, she can focus her attention in something that she actually liked it.
...When aren't the "fans" of twitter/X having a meltdown? They complain about everything, every time a show or product similar to the acolyte gets some criticism or people doesn't like it, they go 'woe me, you're all haters' among many other things, call that piece of media the bestests ever and how it is a mistake to cancel it, because it was the bestest and then move on to another they can whine about when its fails. Also, bold of them to assume Disney is catering to the majority, when no they are the annoying minority that are being catered to.
The abhorrent morality of The Acolyte only makes sense to me through the lens of narcissism. The abusive parents, the fact that the good and moral characters are cast as the bad guys, and so on.
Female Star Wars fans deserve a series worthy of them, with characters that they can relate to and a story they can get behind, one that isn't some bleak deconstruction of the heroic ideal, but an uplifting story about good triumphing over evil... you know, like the Original series did. The Acolyte couldn't deliver that, and if female viewers are contrite over the series being cancelled, then that's depressing. Star Wars fans deserve better.
I am still pissed Disney destroyed the posibility of using the badass Winter from Legends, a femme fatale babysitter for Leia's twins capable of fighting force users. A dang crime.
They literally could have used MARA FUCKIN JADE but nah they’re allergic to making a fandom happy. Also now I want them nowhere near any of these characters.
I am genuinely shocked that they actually did the sensible thing instead of doubling down. I predicted that Season 2 is guaranteed because the entire Acolyte was a massive $180 Million Embezzlement project for Leslye Headland, Kathleen Kennedy and her buddy executives and a season 2 would keep the money coming. I welcome to be proven wrong!
@@sssspider All you need to do is check Disney's stock market history, recent one, and it becomes obvious that House of Mouse is struggling. Because it's hard to lie to the business market when things go wrong.
The public cancellation also has another meaning: Disney may be in financial trouble. It's not uncommon for media companies to have a bunch of flops or poorly received films that are supported by major blockbuster successes. However, Disney hasn't had a major blockbuster or critical success in the past couple years that could balance out major flops like the reviled Antman 3 and Indiana Jones 5. The Acolyte was a commercial and critical disaster, and there's nothing to balance it out; they can't afford to keep something this bad going.
I'll never understand the practice that always fails but is constantly reused, of alienating an existing fan base of an IP in an attempt to replace them when you don't actually have a replacement audience lined up.
Anyone else find it hilarious how the Whiteknights are whinning that it got cancelled? Remind me of that meme of the crying guy vs the chad? Also good job to everyone to NOT "hate watch"!
I wouldn't mind keeping TCW, Andor, and Rogue One. I know people have kind of turned on TCW but it's mostly solid, just make sure Ahsoka gets offed by Vader between the PT and OT.
The more I think about it, the mistake they make with creatives like Lesley Hedlund is that they give them those massive, high budget projects. Give them a mini series or a streaming-only movie at first. Maybe some sort of "What if"-style project, where they can live out their ideas to the max without having a detrimental impact on a budget line and/or canon. In the case of The Acolyte, it could have gone the way of showing how manipulating the force to such a high degree as to create new life without being an absolute master of the force could throw everything out of balance and deeply corrupt the life created, essentially the force fighting back against the manipulation. It could even put the Jedi in moral grey area by making it difficult and philosophical how to deal with the "product" of this force manipulation, a life who is essentially innocent. Can they sacrifice it for the greater good of the galaxy? Just some ideas...
If they wanted to do a story about a sympathetic protagonist on their way to becoming a Sith Lord, then they should have done the *Darth Bane Trilogy* by *Drew Kapershin.* The fact that Disney Star Wars has vomited out so much content without even teasing that idea shows just how much the old regime knows or cares about the universe and source material.
What’s actually interesting is the fact that in concept it truly could’ve been something new, showing the perspective of the sith and how they operated and how they view the Jedi as the enemy but the thing is… The fact that it’s from the perspective of the bad guys doesn’t mean the bad guys should be presented as the good, an example can be like the arc of Maul on the clone wars, we understood his motives even though we didn’t agree They could’ve easily done that but…for all that trash about saying from the perspective of the bad guys we barely even got enough screen time with the sith which would’ve been far more interesting I genuinely thought the show would be a lot more in-depth, what it means to be a Jedi, what it means to be a sith, a deeper look into the force, an expansion into the world before, I mean it was all right there
I remember when "Acolyte" was only a name being leaked to the public, and all the speculation around it and how excited people were by a potential Sith lead series. That was around 3 ish years ago I think if I remember right. Now that it's here, it was simply just dropped without fanfare and ignored by an apathetic audience who barely noticed it. There was so much great potential but no one really cared. Producers didn't care, the writers didn't care, the investors didn't care, the audience didn't care, just nobody cared. If nobody cared about this show, why was it even made at all? The whole production was a complete waste of time, money, and potential.
1:07 boy that quote is a fallacy. The EU was littered with non Skywalker content. Fans just want good stories and characters. Disney Star Wars continually fails to deliver that. And it’s also not sexism or racism or homophobia. These stories are just bad. Written and directed poorly.
@realjesterbell my younger brother turned me on to your channel this morning while we were talking about the dumpster fire that was The Acolyte. You earned a new subscriber today! You show extreme intelligence, an amazing & obviously researched take on everything from the questionable casting to the horrific writing to the (with a couple exceptions) overall bad acting & no direction of the story. Your opinion here is a testiment to people of all walks of life who are tired of everything from type casting & pigeon holing actors into roles they're probably not suitable for (Amandla Stenberg). Being force fed (pun intended) this garbage left, right & centre has got to stop or the brand will actually die a gruesome death. Standing ovation milady, well done!
The Acolyte is like an in-universe Sith propaganda show. Ironically, by trying to make a show about a character breaking free from societal restraints or whatever Leslye managed to make a show portraying a group that forms an oppressive fascist dictatorship every time they get into power as the good guys.
Wait, did she just say that father-daughter problems can't be reconciled? That girls are unable to forgive a fathers mistake? Or that they shouldn't, ever? Did she... did she just call girls idiots?
Fans didn't reject the Acolyte because it was diverse or fresh or different. They rejected it because it was a poorly written with a bad moral message. Agree that force choking someone to death slowly on screen and then thinking fans with root for the killer is messed up. Even some disney fan sites had criticisms of this show. Character arcs and motivations did not make sense. The people flipping out over this need to grow up. This show was cancelled because it didn't make money, end of story.
There's something about showrunners and their personal/political agendas really screwing up established properties.... Doctor Who's message: "Russell T. Davies is a broken and horrible person." Velma's message: "Mindy Kaling is a broken and horrible person." She-Hulk's message: "Jessica Gao is a broken and horrible person." And now, Star Wars Acolyte's message: "Leslye Headland is a broken and horrible person." I get that a lot of people need therapy, but do they have to hijack shows and movies we like and waste millions of dollars to do it?
Do they not remember that there has been many main characters that were not Anakin Skywalker and his children? Like… ignoring the former canon, and staying strictly with George Lucas’s material? Are they not aware that it wasn’t just “racists” and “bigots” who disliked the show, it was also many members of the LGBTQIA community, people of color, and many women? They can’t keep ignoring the target audience that have said the same thing as the so-called “bigots” and “racists”.
These mofos know if it had numbers, it would have been renewed, right? It got cancelled because it wasn't working. People weren't watching or buying subs to watch.
we definitely deserve our victory lap. The show is a testament to all things wrong with corporate pandering slop, by not watching this and publicly degrading it, we’ve successfully killed the show. We should all be proud for putting our money where our mouth is and not funding the mouse.
8:40, While some of it's references may have been too overt and the use of Ian Holm's likeness (especially with the poor CGI used to emulate him), Alien: Romulus was kind of a "perfect" Alien movie, able to combine all of the franchise's history, from the first film, to Prometheus, to even Alien: Resurrection, but made it mostly coherent and compatible with its own plot. Unlike the Acolyte, it was able to combine lore and character work while also honoring what came before rather than attempting to complete overwrite the franchise to suit a personal agenda or out of spite.
I don’t share your optimism, but I admire it! Disney is too deep into the muck of politics and bad storytelling! It will take a top down purging of much of studio personnel to correct this mess.
Can the REAL Star Wars fans FINALLY get their franchise back now, please? Even if it's just to give it a decent burial after everything it's suffered during the reign of KK.
Best motivation for a character ever? The young Jedi (who later ends up floating and drinking poison) going on his own to kidnap the twin girls, because he wants to go home, due to his dislike of camping.
I relate you your opinions on Star Wars the most out of the channels that I watch. You explain your thoughts very well and you hit the nail on the head every time.
The power of on- *sounds of blasters ringing out as we get a movir about the old republic and the sound of soldiers, jedi, and the good old ways*... WAHAJSHAA OH, sorry, i was dreaming there, oohh it was a glories dream
The Acolyte being cancelled is good to know. However, in order for the fanbase to be happy. One they need to stop blaming the fans. For anything the fans don’t like. Two, they also need a leadership restructuring at Lucasfilm. Most of the problems with Modern Day Star Wars. Stem from poor leadership and shitting on the fanbase.
Not only did they cancel The Acolyte, but they removed the merch on the Disney store website. You say they are making steps for change...what steps? Captain America is still coming out along with the film Mufasa, the Agatha series, the Rey film that is also coming out, and I just found out that they are having issues with the Rey film, Snow White, Hercules, Moana 2, Lilo & Stitch, Frozen 3, The Incredibles 3, and two Avengers films. The magic is gone! Originality seems almost alien to Disney creators.
Hollywood's never gonna learn that they have to craft a good story first and foremost before they start thinking about putting all this agenda, diversity and all of that stuff. There's absolutely nothing wrong with women being the heads of projects or writing. The issue is that they prioritize diversity and agendas BEFORE a good story. When it occurs naturally instead of being forced, it becomes a lot more digestible. If it's put at the forefront, it's gonna stick out like a sore thumb and cause everyone to feel like they're being lectured or are getting it shoved down their throats. They need to seriously consider who they're allowing to write these shows, because a many of these writers aren't writers. Their goal isn't to make something great, it's to self-insert and say what only they want to say, instead of prioritizing entertainment first, which is THEIR JOB. If they wanna make a difference, go to journalism, NOT entertainment where people are SIGNIFICANTLY less tolerant of being lectured. All they have to do is write a good story... then they'll have all the money they're desperately seeking.
KK defianlty loves revisionist history because everyone knows the great Marsha Lucas was the first woman to write a star wars project not cringy Leslie 😂😂
Imagine a person with no morals make one of the most BE EVIL BRO shows ever. LOL 25mi a episode people... that was some good scam this lady pulled on disney.
It looks like Mando and Grogu is going to lean heavily into Filoni's ideas of what The Mandalorian should be: Heavy emphasis on history and state of Mandalore itself and the way the Armorer and Bo-Katan factor into that, rather than an emphasis on Din Djarin. I think that's what he likes both because he likes the more extensive Star Wars lore and because it focuses more on the characters he created, then. Favreau I think likes the idea of the wandering bounty hunter in a space western type of story, like a space Sergio Leone flick, but that's not really what his superiors want.
Leslye Hedlund came in with the attitude of not caring about Star Wars and disliking a large portion of its fanbase (and let's be fair, EVERY fandom has toxic elements to it). I actually kinda feel bad for Amandla. For her, this could have been HUGE for her career and she had to invest so much of herself into the character and this project that (IMO) she cannot now separate herself from the show to view it objectively. Maybe I'm giving her too much credit, but her reaction is wedded with her disappointment and knowing/feeling that the blame would be pinned on her. What could have been a huge boost to her has now become a boat anchor. I strongly believe that what she said in her rap video was also the prevailing thoughts/excuse making at Lucasfilm.
Agency is misused by feminists and modern women in general, not just Hollywood. How can a Lesbian/Anti-misogynistic showrunner complain about "benign sexism" then includes a scene of sexual objectification of Manny Jacinto's half naked exposure for a "curious" Osha, creating a love interest angle but Three Bit...., again, my baad, The Three Witches wax lyrically about misogynism whilst sexualizing a binary "heart throb" as a thirst trap in a franchise Lesbian Headlamp claims was never meant for adults. So, Headlamp, KK and Amandala are advocating that this as made for children!!?? S E R I O U S L Y!!
If Mandalorian and Grogu gets made without any studio interference there is a chance it could be great, not saying it definitely will be but if they can tap into what made Season 1/2 so solid then there is at least a chance Cuz I’d heard that Season 3 was heavily interfered with which contributed towards its mixed quality as the first two seasons had been very solid
Pluck Star Wars out of the cold hands of people like Bob Iger, and Kathleen Kennedy and give it to competent writers who know what they’re fucking doing with the franchise.
I didn't think about the fact that they announced it so publicly. Yeah, they definitely want us to know they're not continuing down that road. Let's see it they learned anything though...
Weirdly enough, they say Disney has been catering to the old, "Toxic", Star wars fans, however, they have done nothing but cater to the Twitter (X) crowd since the ray palpatine trilogy (I just think she Just Co-opted the name, just like modern Disney) and what little that Disney gave to the older fans, they co-opted that to push their message, and hell I just dont care about modern Star wars any more, and I think that these people and Disney are getting the wrong Idea, they will get that Star wars is no longer profitable, and that is it, not that people want good stories, nothing will change except that Star wars will never recover
More relief than celebration for me. No way a canceled project like this will ever be considered canon. The response from those that actually liked the show has been extraordinary though haha and tone deaf. The slam dunk is that ep1&2 HAD the viewership to make the series viable. Not great numbers for sure but workable; better, in fact, than Andor. Difference being of course that Andor actually had genuine creative merits and managed to grow its numbers as the series progressed and got better and better. The Acolyte couldn't hold on to its viewers because the quality was just not there, to put it mildly. That viewer falloff has got nothing to do with "review bombing" aside from the other ridiculous accusations of misogyny, racism etc. Goodbye Acolyte and good riddance. Enjoying your content.
It seems that some shake up is happening at Disney, Marvel fired their woke activist protester writers, they disregarded the Disney Star Wars sequels from mainline canon, and now they cancelled the Acolyte. Seems Disney is waking up and realizing their platform and company’s negative perception is having an impact. Hopefully this leads to meaningful changes within Disney, but time will tell.
No one should be surprise by this new, especially after it was told how low the viewership was the season (series) finale. It cost too much to justified Disney to renew it for a second season. However, I still consider The Last Jedi the worst when it comes to Star Wars but only by a little.
I don't think you are correct that Disney is pivoting away from this garbage. At least, not fully away. I suspect they will take their wins like Deadpool and use the profits to fund their garbage. I expect we will see a 50/50 split until Iger and his board are ousted.

"First woman to make a Starwars"
Yet again, Disney fails to acknowledge the work of Marcia Lucas, the real First woman to make a Starwars.
Disney loves this false narrative that there weren't any women working on Starwars until they stepped in. Almost like Disney hates women.
Gearge literally said Princess Leia was the hero of Star Wars. But according to them she doesn’t count.
A woman wrote the screenplay for The Empire Strikes Back (1980), her name was Leigh Brackett RIP. Someone tell these moron executives at Disney.
@@bayonetta8418 well said I expect nothing less from one of the original badass female characters. Over and over I’d constantly hear Kathleen and her Drones constantly saying so and so is the first female_____ of Star Wars. And I’d constantly say do they really think no female actually helped in the making of Star Wars or is it cause none of those women were bragging to everyone that they helped so they don’t count?
Carrie Fisher said more than once that Marcia made sht happen and was the reason the OT was great.
Maria Lucas was pretty much the anti-Kathleen Kennedy. Without her, Star Wars would never have been what it became during it's pre-Disney Golden Age. George was the effects pioneer but Maria was the soul, imo.( She practically deserves a medal for her contributions.).
And KK was the one who turned on the flamethrower.
If it was a “loud minority” who hated the show, that’s only because the “silent majority” refused to watch it all together.

That's only one of the problems of the third season, but based on the title, they are they are really doubling down on putting style over substance.
3:25 let's not forget that not only did she blow up into a huge black smoke monster with black eyes, extended jaw and sharp teeth, but she was also causing May to disintegrate right in front of the jedi. How did anyone writing this think any reasonable person might think that what she was doing might have been a good thing?
TBH, the behind the scenes interviews just make this scene worse.
@@zaquhe Like when they confirm that the mom was trying to "Return May to the force" aka, kill her?
No, you see I was trying to turn into a GOOD smoke monster! This is how we give hugs on our planet. Stupid jedi.
@@VexdinLord To be more specific, she was trying to "Have Mae become one with the force in a way that doesn't kill her"
To some, that may ring a bell or two because becoming one with the force but retaining your individuality is how Force Ghosts work.
So either they can go back and fourth between Force Ghost and corporeal as they please or Anaseya (or however it's spelled) decided to (for all intents and purposes,) kill her daughter.
In terms of the extended jaw, I checked for visual comparisons. I had wondered if the human jaw might hang open after death. But certainly some classic renderings of banshees, the mouth is elongated - either to convey screaming or because it's a deathly image. It's meant to carry the spectre of death. The scream film mask might be similar. It's just difficult to imagine describing it to an artist in a way that wouldn't explicitly require confirming the validity of Sol's reaction. It's not an image you get if you ask the CGI people to have her turn into an ambivalently threatening thing. My only explanation was Headland said wrote "she turns into a ghost" and expected the VFX team to think Casper the friendly ghost. Otherwise, Sol's reaction is pretty normal. It wasn't the kind of visual that allows him to think "this is fine. Let's see where this goes".
1:23 I think it says a lot when every single woman who is involved with Star Wars is "the first one ever." Headland was not the first woman to create a Star Wars series. Rey wasn’t the first female lead in Star Wars, and a new movie about her won't be the first to feature a female lead. Osha and Mae aren't the first women to fall to the dark side, just the first to celebrate that fall.
Star Wars originally just showed us by example how women should be treated. There were women in power who were respected figures capable of love, leadership, and collaboration. They didn’t need to scold us about the patriarchy because they were too busy showing us why it isn’t needed.
If we genuinely want progress, we need to acknowledge when it happens. Star Wars was pretty progressive in a lot of ways, but even if having female leads and directors is the only thing that counts, we can't discard the women to have already achieved that. Several directors for Season 1 of The Mandalorian were women. The director for Obi-Wan was a woman. Ahsoka was a lead in The Clone Wars long before Rey was invented. Let's give credit where credit is due, not just drop every woman who has done anything because a new one comes along who can be the "first."
Rey is insulting to women
@@yurikendal4868I think Reeva is worse if only due to her incompetence.
@@SuperCosmicMutantSquidThe Force is Female
It was the same with Star Trek, when they had to be overly specific in order to trumpet Burnham as 'the first black female main character' in Star Trek. They were undercut a bit by there already having been a black main character (Sisko) and a female main character (Janeway) and a bunch of black female captains and officers appearing occasionally (star trek 4, some tng eps), so they had to make 'the first black, female, main character' seem like a big deal.
It's like how every gay character in a Disney movie was Disney's first gay character.
How much longer can they continue to pretend that almost the entire fanbase is trolls?

It's not the trolls you should worry. The shipping wars admiralty is the one to worry. Greatest amount of friendly fire I ever witnessed.

Velma Season 2 was made at the same time as Season 1.
That's how animated series sometimes work.
Any show that says the Sith are good and the Jedi are evil does not understand Star Wars in the slightest! This is a victory for the fans! Let the twitteraghti gnash their teeth and shit themselves! We have had a wonderful victory!
I'd say the closest to good Sith are Darth Marr and that one Sith, who's name escapes me right now, that hasn't actually killed anyone. He just simply studied the dark side of the force.
At least the Sith are honest about what they are. The Jedi will just word salad you into submission at best and at worst kick you out without a proper investigation if you're framed for a crime you didn't commit and won't have the balls to apologize if they're proven wrong.
The Jedi and the Sith are both flawed and their respective philosophies should be explored in depth - but that’s not what “Acolyte” did! This show’s narrative reads like the diary of a confused and horny teenager that thinks the Jedi are too old and stuffy and that Sith are just plain sexy!

Some notes about this show
Being "cancelled" implies that there was a second season in the works. Otherwise, they would've said a second season was not greenlit.
Secondly, the show has so many major errors (major as in if one of them shows up in your script, you need to start over) that half of the show's context is in interviews about it as opposed to the show itself.
Thirdly, I'm tired of people saying the newest Star Wars show has destroyed the series. The finale of the sequels did that first, Disney's just finding new ways to beat a dead horse.
Finally: we as fans need to not only be vocal about what we don't like, but also vocal about what we do like, and more importantly why we feel that way.
I liked the first three minutes of Mandalorian S1 E1, and I really hoped that the show would carry that same degree of energy throughout the whole series. Unfortunately, it immediately toned down the grit and edge and gradually turned into a blatant merchandise factory and little else over the next three seasons.
100% agree on your third point, btw.
It’s pretty sad at this point. I don’t feel anything about this. Apathy has consumed me when it comes to Star Wars.
Sadly, I hope someday, they come with a good project
Sol was the most Jedi Jedi who ever Jedi'ed. He was near perfect, with his only flaw being that he was over-eager to help before he knew all of the details. He was heroic and wonderful. When I thought he was supposed to be the hero of the series, I had high hopes. Then, when I realized he was the antagonist, I hated the show and the wicked witch who created it. Woe to those who call evil good and good evil!
Evil can not create it can only destroy and twist - a very, very wise man and i have to agree with him. Also yeah the main "antagonist" was a dude who I would root for, he was a nearly pefect jedi of the lightsidd, im pretty sure he could have been the one of two only beings who could have saved anakin from the darkside but nope he's the villian even though he's basically the old ways of a white knight you know the ones, the man in white armor who does no evil, helps the innocent, probably pays for every orphanage he can and builds new ones and make sure their treating kids right, probably babys sits his neighborhoods kids cause he can and will buy the entire tavern all the ale they could ever drink, you know those guys the stereotypical good guy yeah he's basically him, SO WHY THE HELL IS THE BAD GUY??? EVEN THE OG FANTASY VILLIAN COMBO OF THE BLACK KNIGHT AND DRAGON WOULD SIDE EYE THIS SHIT AND THEY HATE THE WHITE KNIGHT CAUSE THIER EVIL
My only concern is that this decision to cancel the Accolyte is a wise one. And that’s not what Disney does normally. Here's hoping it stays cancelled.
Same I’m so used to Disney making bad choices that the one time they do the right thing it makes me very nervous.
@@paulappleton9666 Obligatory “somehow the Acolyte returned” joke. That would be terrifying and exhaustingly on brand.
That's really strange indeed. KK and her acolytes typically double down on criticism and I thought that season 2 was ready to start production if not going on already.
Oh It'll come back, they can't do it now because of the heat around it, but I also thought they were going to replace Zegler in the live action Snow White, so when the hatred for that is higher than SW, watch them announce it's back on. They just need to destroy something else in the meantime.

The first time that Lesyle Headland spoke about Star Wars she couldn't say one movie as her favorite, second, she said that asking George Lucas things related to his universe was a misogynist thing. Lesyle never had respect for George Lucas, well. deserve it that Disney don't allow her having a second season. LucasFIlm should never have hired her at first palce, and if Lesyle doesn't like Star Wars, she can focus her attention in something that she actually liked it.
The writing was on the wall when Bob Iger told George Lucas he didn't his input in the Sequel Trilogy and JJ Abrams trashed the Prequels
...When aren't the "fans" of twitter/X having a meltdown? They complain about everything, every time a show or product similar to the acolyte gets some criticism or people doesn't like it, they go 'woe me, you're all haters' among many other things, call that piece of media the bestests ever and how it is a mistake to cancel it, because it was the bestest and then move on to another they can whine about when its fails.
Also, bold of them to assume Disney is catering to the majority, when no they are the annoying minority that are being catered to.

"Acolyte has been cancelled"
I love Democracy
That's not democracy, it's capitalism.
The abhorrent morality of The Acolyte only makes sense to me through the lens of narcissism. The abusive parents, the fact that the good and moral characters are cast as the bad guys, and so on.
Female Star Wars fans deserve a series worthy of them, with characters that they can relate to and a story they can get behind, one that isn't some bleak deconstruction of the heroic ideal, but an uplifting story about good triumphing over evil... you know, like the Original series did. The Acolyte couldn't deliver that, and if female viewers are contrite over the series being cancelled, then that's depressing.
Star Wars fans deserve better.
This 👍🏿
I am still pissed Disney destroyed the posibility of using the badass Winter from Legends, a femme fatale babysitter for Leia's twins capable of fighting force users. A dang crime.
It's called Star Wars
@@michaellane5381I would 100% watch a show about Winter aka “the targeter”, like a classic ‘perfect memory/genius’ spy show. Would be so fun.
They literally could have used MARA FUCKIN JADE but nah they’re allergic to making a fandom happy. Also now I want them nowhere near any of these characters.
She was strangling him to death. How can you possibly impose on someone’s agency more than that?!
I am genuinely shocked that they actually did the sensible thing instead of doubling down. I predicted that Season 2 is guaranteed because the entire Acolyte was a massive $180 Million Embezzlement project for Leslye Headland, Kathleen Kennedy and her buddy executives and a season 2 would keep the money coming. I welcome to be proven wrong!
Unfortunately for Kathy, the Mouse is somewhat short on cash and can no longer afford to endlessly burn money on vanity projects like The Acolyte.
With her so confident about a 2nd season I thought it was already in production, but nope not going to happen.
"A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one."
@@sssspider All you need to do is check Disney's stock market history, recent one, and it becomes obvious that House of Mouse is struggling. Because it's hard to lie to the business market when things go wrong.
The public cancellation also has another meaning: Disney may be in financial trouble. It's not uncommon for media companies to have a bunch of flops or poorly received films that are supported by major blockbuster successes. However, Disney hasn't had a major blockbuster or critical success in the past couple years that could balance out major flops like the reviled Antman 3 and Indiana Jones 5. The Acolyte was a commercial and critical disaster, and there's nothing to balance it out; they can't afford to keep something this bad going.
I'll never understand the practice that always fails but is constantly reused, of alienating an existing fan base of an IP in an attempt to replace them when you don't actually have a replacement audience lined up.
Woke ideologues want to take over IPs with large fandoms to put their propaganda into so they can reach a larger audience.
Cancellation? That's the "Power of Many" when many refuse to watch Disney BULLSHlT!
Fun Fact:
One episode of Acolyte costed more than Godzilla Minus One.
Lies
Acolyte would've damaged the Star Wars brand even further if it had been allowed to continue.
Absolutely this
I'm genuinely scared that Andor is going to be the last good bit of star wars media to come out of disney star wars
Anyone else find it hilarious how the Whiteknights are whinning that it got cancelled? Remind me of that meme of the crying guy vs the chad? Also good job to everyone to NOT "hate watch"!

They should cancel the entire Disney Star Wars brand and reboot the entire thing while keeping only the original trilogy and the prequel trilogy
And recast Luke to film a real Thrawn trilogy as a postlogy, including Mara Jade
I somewhat disagree. Throw out the Sequel Trilogy and The Acolyte, but keep The Mandalorian stuff, Rogue One and Andor, and the Jedi Order games.
I wouldn't mind keeping TCW, Andor, and Rogue One. I know people have kind of turned on TCW but it's mostly solid, just make sure Ahsoka gets offed by Vader between the PT and OT.
Obviously keep Mando, not my cup of tea but hey it's not an embarrassment to the brand
@@BearthatBaresFoodinBellyNo Ahsoka can survive and help Luke with the new order
The more I think about it, the mistake they make with creatives like Lesley Hedlund is that they give them those massive, high budget projects. Give them a mini series or a streaming-only movie at first. Maybe some sort of "What if"-style project, where they can live out their ideas to the max without having a detrimental impact on a budget line and/or canon. In the case of The Acolyte, it could have gone the way of showing how manipulating the force to such a high degree as to create new life without being an absolute master of the force could throw everything out of balance and deeply corrupt the life created, essentially the force fighting back against the manipulation. It could even put the Jedi in moral grey area by making it difficult and philosophical how to deal with the "product" of this force manipulation, a life who is essentially innocent. Can they sacrifice it for the greater good of the galaxy? Just some ideas...
If they wanted to do a story about a sympathetic protagonist on their way to becoming a Sith Lord, then they should have done the *Darth Bane Trilogy* by *Drew Kapershin.* The fact that Disney Star Wars has vomited out so much content without even teasing that idea shows just how much the old regime knows or cares about the universe and source material.
What’s actually interesting is the fact that in concept it truly could’ve been something new, showing the perspective of the sith and how they operated and how they view the Jedi as the enemy but the thing is…
The fact that it’s from the perspective of the bad guys doesn’t mean the bad guys should be presented as the good, an example can be like the arc of Maul on the clone wars, we understood his motives even though we didn’t agree
They could’ve easily done that but…for all that trash about saying from the perspective of the bad guys we barely even got enough screen time with the sith which would’ve been far more interesting
I genuinely thought the show would be a lot more in-depth, what it means to be a Jedi, what it means to be a sith, a deeper look into the force, an expansion into the world before, I mean it was all right there
I remember when "Acolyte" was only a name being leaked to the public, and all the speculation around it and how excited people were by a potential Sith lead series. That was around 3 ish years ago I think if I remember right.
Now that it's here, it was simply just dropped without fanfare and ignored by an apathetic audience who barely noticed it.
There was so much great potential but no one really cared. Producers didn't care, the writers didn't care, the investors didn't care, the audience didn't care, just nobody cared. If nobody cared about this show, why was it even made at all? The whole production was a complete waste of time, money, and potential.
1:07 boy that quote is a fallacy. The EU was littered with non Skywalker content. Fans just want good stories and characters. Disney Star Wars continually fails to deliver that. And it’s also not sexism or racism or homophobia. These stories are just bad. Written and directed poorly.
@realjesterbell my younger brother turned me on to your channel this morning while we were talking about the dumpster fire that was The Acolyte. You earned a new subscriber today! You show extreme intelligence, an amazing & obviously researched take on everything from the questionable casting to the horrific writing to the (with a couple exceptions) overall bad acting & no direction of the story. Your opinion here is a testiment to people of all walks of life who are tired of everything from type casting & pigeon holing actors into roles they're probably not suitable for (Amandla Stenberg). Being force fed (pun intended) this garbage left, right & centre has got to stop or the brand will actually die a gruesome death. Standing ovation milady, well done!
The Acolyte is like an in-universe Sith propaganda show. Ironically, by trying to make a show about a character breaking free from societal restraints or whatever Leslye managed to make a show portraying a group that forms an oppressive fascist dictatorship every time they get into power as the good guys.
How can someone like her even know the meaning of morality?
That's the bad part....she doesn't
Wait, did she just say that father-daughter problems can't be reconciled? That girls are unable to forgive a fathers mistake? Or that they shouldn't, ever?
Did she... did she just call girls idiots?
Fans didn't reject the Acolyte because it was diverse or fresh or different. They rejected it because it was a poorly written with a bad moral message. Agree that force choking someone to death slowly on screen and then thinking fans with root for the killer is messed up. Even some disney fan sites had criticisms of this show. Character arcs and motivations did not make sense. The people flipping out over this need to grow up. This show was cancelled because it didn't make money, end of story.
The diverse casting killed it. It was too "woke" etc for racist SW fans.
There's something about showrunners and their personal/political agendas really screwing up established properties....
Doctor Who's message: "Russell T. Davies is a broken and horrible person."
Velma's message: "Mindy Kaling is a broken and horrible person."
She-Hulk's message: "Jessica Gao is a broken and horrible person."
And now, Star Wars Acolyte's message: "Leslye Headland is a broken and horrible person."
I get that a lot of people need therapy, but do they have to hijack shows and movies we like and waste millions of dollars to do it?
1:26 she sh*t all over everything that makes Jedi Jedi. WRITE SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T COMPLETELY BREAK ALL EXISTING LORE!!!
Do they not remember that there has been many main characters that were not Anakin Skywalker and his children? Like… ignoring the former canon, and staying strictly with George Lucas’s material?
Are they not aware that it wasn’t just “racists” and “bigots” who disliked the show, it was also many members of the LGBTQIA community, people of color, and many women?
They can’t keep ignoring the target audience that have said the same thing as the so-called “bigots” and “racists”.
Cue the last scene of Phantom Menace.
But that scene is depicting a pyrrhic victory for the good guys and real victory for the bad guys. So it doesn't really work.

Calling Leslye Headland a human woman is an insult to humans and women.
8:40, While some of it's references may have been too overt and the use of Ian Holm's likeness (especially with the poor CGI used to emulate him), Alien: Romulus was kind of a "perfect" Alien movie, able to combine all of the franchise's history, from the first film, to Prometheus, to even Alien: Resurrection, but made it mostly coherent and compatible with its own plot.
Unlike the Acolyte, it was able to combine lore and character work while also honoring what came before rather than attempting to complete overwrite the franchise to suit a personal agenda or out of spite.
I don’t share your optimism, but I admire it! Disney is too deep into the muck of politics and bad storytelling! It will take a top down purging of much of studio personnel to correct this mess.
As a kid I saw _Empire_ in the theatre during its original run. It took work, but Disney killed my love of _Star Wars._
Can the REAL Star Wars fans FINALLY get their franchise back now, please?
Even if it's just to give it a decent burial after everything it's suffered during the reign of KK.
Best motivation for a character ever? The young Jedi (who later ends up floating and drinking poison) going on his own to kidnap the twin girls, because he wants to go home, due to his dislike of camping.

The Acolyte being cancelled is good to know. However, in order for the fanbase to be happy. One they need to stop blaming the fans. For anything the fans don’t like. Two, they also need a leadership restructuring at Lucasfilm. Most of the problems with Modern Day Star Wars. Stem from poor leadership and shitting on the fanbase.
Not only did they cancel The Acolyte, but they removed the merch on the Disney store website. You say they are making steps for change...what steps? Captain America is still coming out along with the film Mufasa, the Agatha series, the Rey film that is also coming out, and I just found out that they are having issues with the Rey film, Snow White, Hercules, Moana 2, Lilo & Stitch, Frozen 3, The Incredibles 3, and two Avengers films. The magic is gone! Originality seems almost alien to Disney creators.
Good morning.

"Evil can not create. It can only corrupt and destroy"
Hollywood's never gonna learn that they have to craft a good story first and foremost before they start thinking about putting all this agenda, diversity and all of that stuff.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with women being the heads of projects or writing. The issue is that they prioritize diversity and agendas BEFORE a good story.
When it occurs naturally instead of being forced, it becomes a lot more digestible. If it's put at the forefront, it's gonna stick out like a sore thumb and cause everyone to feel like they're being lectured or are getting it shoved down their throats. They need to seriously consider who they're allowing to write these shows, because a many of these writers aren't writers. Their goal isn't to make something great, it's to self-insert and say what only they want to say, instead of prioritizing entertainment first, which is THEIR JOB. If they wanna make a difference, go to journalism, NOT entertainment where people are SIGNIFICANTLY less tolerant of being lectured.
All they have to do is write a good story... then they'll have all the money they're desperately seeking.
Too bad we couldn't have gotten Discovery canceled after only one season. We might have been able to save Star Trek
KK defianlty loves revisionist history because everyone knows the great Marsha Lucas was the first woman to write a star wars project not cringy Leslie 😂😂
Favreau is a great director. I quite loved his Chef movie, which he made after Iron Man. I'd recommend that one.
Imagine a person with no morals make one of the most BE EVIL BRO shows ever. LOL 25mi a episode people... that was some good scam this lady pulled on disney.
Listening to the people defending and complaining on Twitter is so wild. I can't imagine defending ANYTHING this rabidly 😵😵💫
It looks like Mando and Grogu is going to lean heavily into Filoni's ideas of what The Mandalorian should be: Heavy emphasis on history and state of Mandalore itself and the way the Armorer and Bo-Katan factor into that, rather than an emphasis on Din Djarin. I think that's what he likes both because he likes the more extensive Star Wars lore and because it focuses more on the characters he created, then. Favreau I think likes the idea of the wandering bounty hunter in a space western type of story, like a space Sergio Leone flick, but that's not really what his superiors want.
Leslye Hedlund came in with the attitude of not caring about Star Wars and disliking a large portion of its fanbase (and let's be fair, EVERY fandom has toxic elements to it).
I actually kinda feel bad for Amandla. For her, this could have been HUGE for her career and she had to invest so much of herself into the character and this project that (IMO) she cannot now separate herself from the show to view it objectively. Maybe I'm giving her too much credit, but her reaction is wedded with her disappointment and knowing/feeling that the blame would be pinned on her. What could have been a huge boost to her has now become a boat anchor. I strongly believe that what she said in her rap video was also the prevailing thoughts/excuse making at Lucasfilm.
Bro at 8:20 the same dude thats been walking around ur house does a weird jump, hop thing by your window???? This is creeping me tf out!?
Agency is misused by feminists and modern women in general, not just Hollywood. How can a Lesbian/Anti-misogynistic showrunner complain about "benign sexism" then includes a scene of sexual objectification of Manny Jacinto's half naked exposure for a "curious" Osha, creating a love interest angle but Three Bit...., again, my baad, The Three Witches wax lyrically about misogynism whilst sexualizing a binary "heart throb" as a thirst trap in a franchise Lesbian Headlamp claims was never meant for adults. So, Headlamp, KK and Amandala are advocating that this as made for children!!?? S E R I O U S L Y!!
The logic... does...not... EXIST AHHHH
Thanks!
If Mandalorian and Grogu gets made without any studio interference there is a chance it could be great, not saying it definitely will be but if they can tap into what made Season 1/2 so solid then there is at least a chance
Cuz I’d heard that Season 3 was heavily interfered with which contributed towards its mixed quality as the first two seasons had been very solid

Since the New Hope remake in 2015 I've ignored everything Disney has churned out. I stick with the original six films.
The one reason The Last Jedi is worse than The Acolyte is that more people watched TLJ, so it did more damage to the franchise.
My neck is sore from the excessive amount of nodding.
Pluck Star Wars out of the cold hands of people like Bob Iger, and Kathleen Kennedy and give it to competent writers who know what they’re fucking doing with the franchise.

I'm happy that KK is finally stepping away but I honestly don't think Favreau and Faloni are the right ones to lead Lucasfilm.
I didn't think about the fact that they announced it so publicly. Yeah, they definitely want us to know they're not continuing down that road.
Let's see it they learned anything though...
That feeling you get when the volunteer fire department finally puts out your house-fire. That's the cancellation of The Acolyte in a nutshell.
The moment is sweet. 😌 I’m enjoying every moment of this.
Weirdly enough, they say Disney has been catering to the old, "Toxic", Star wars fans, however, they have done nothing but cater to the Twitter (X) crowd since the ray palpatine trilogy (I just think she Just Co-opted the name, just like modern Disney) and what little that Disney gave to the older fans, they co-opted that to push their message, and hell I just dont care about modern Star wars any more, and I think that these people and Disney are getting the wrong Idea, they will get that Star wars is no longer profitable, and that is it, not that people want good stories, nothing will change except that Star wars will never recover
More relief than celebration for me. No way a canceled project like this will ever be considered canon. The response from those that actually liked the show has been extraordinary though haha and tone deaf. The slam dunk is that ep1&2 HAD the viewership to make the series viable. Not great numbers for sure but workable; better, in fact, than Andor. Difference being of course that Andor actually had genuine creative merits and managed to grow its numbers as the series progressed and got better and better. The Acolyte couldn't hold on to its viewers because the quality was just not there, to put it mildly. That viewer falloff has got nothing to do with "review bombing" aside from the other ridiculous accusations of misogyny, racism etc. Goodbye Acolyte and good riddance. Enjoying your content.
Star Wars is too damaged an IP, the only way to fix it is to let it go dormant for several years.
It seems that some shake up is happening at Disney, Marvel fired their woke activist protester writers, they disregarded the Disney Star Wars sequels from mainline canon, and now they cancelled the Acolyte.
Seems Disney is waking up and realizing their platform and company’s negative perception is having an impact. Hopefully this leads to meaningful changes within Disney, but time will tell.
Not with Iger and Blackrock running things.
No one should be surprise by this new, especially after it was told how low the viewership was the season (series) finale. It cost too much to justified Disney to renew it for a second season. However, I still consider The Last Jedi the worst when it comes to Star Wars but only by a little.
I don't think you are correct that Disney is pivoting away from this garbage. At least, not fully away. I suspect they will take their wins like Deadpool and use the profits to fund their garbage. I expect we will see a 50/50 split until Iger and his board are ousted.
"Only interested in Anakin Skywalker and his children."
But Andor though...
Jon favreau made sheff and that's a good movie but honestly I agree with you 100%😂
