Was trying to explain it to my friend but I kept laughing from how aburd the things I'm saying sounded

Only if you have a room temp IQ

​@@godlygamer911OK prove it ?

Coherently and professionally lol

I just took a big ol acoshite

I just ate Chipotle and did the same thing.

Did you pick it up or left it where it stand?🤣

Heeeyyyy my doggo puked earlier too😂

@@sanjaenelson179 yup, eight pieces in total

Lol funny but he’s not going to trying and out produce his old work.

Quick correction, the actors (specifically Dafne Keen) never stated the fights were going to surpass TPM’s fights, but instead used those fights as the bar and wanted to surpass the bar. A small usage of rewording but it means a lot, she gives a lot of respect to the original film’s fights. Ik it doesn’t mean like a big difference but don’t want it to sound like these actors are cocky about their work lol.

@@ImaginaryNate hmm I see

@@ImaginaryNate I heard 2 actors say that it was gonna be the best.

@@ImaginaryNate I believe Headland said that in an interview. Most of the actors who worked on this show are respectful to Star Wars (except Stenberg) but in the end, Kennedy and Headland are their boss and I understand they want to keep their jobs

Gotta love it

“Two LESBIAN witches” What’s the point of marking the sexuality? Does it influence in anything? You wouldn’t say “Two hetero witches”. Too much hate and traditionalism still in the XXI century…

He’s such a joke

@@BenDSteele not anywhere near big a joke as Disney Lucas Film

@@benmccrory4 Theory’s a clown and an idiot. While his love of Star Wars is to be respected, his lack of media literacy leaves a lot to be desired.

That could mean a lot of things.

Nick is the man, feels refreshing hearing his takes

I'm glad he checks theory on trying to replicate skill when creativity is the actual root of Star Wars success. Too many people trying to solve "the right way to make star wars" . In a way the fans and Disney are the same this way. Be brave, make something with soul in it but completely different then either the prequels or the originals

Almost confident that if they brought him back and told no one, people would still complain. Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate what he’s done for the franchise. But he can’t be the be all end all to lightsaber fights.

@@Decoto87 Well considering people became fans of him because of his work in the prequels, my money would be on people enjoying the on-screen product if he did return. Star Wars fans typically don't hate just to hate. That's a narrative Disney SW fans have made up to help cope with defending their shit shows

@@xlegitmurphx_1456 Show’s not even over and the big brute Theory is already making baseless assumptions about something only mentioned once in a flashback.

​@@dbks_ How are his "assumptions baseless" when according to what you yourself said it was mentioned in the show. Even if only mentioned one time or 200 times, it still is in the show. It's in the show so how is this baseless ? What's your point ?

Damn right

Strange that this fandom, doesn't care for that (honest) mistake but as soon as "Anakin Skywalker blew up the death star" it's a big deal...

@@rubenjz5748 these people are nerds , you can work on a project without knowing it’s ends and outs

@@rubenjz5748 One is trying to make a point about main plot lore and claiming they're a big fan, the other one is talking about an obscure throw away line used for plot development and admits regularly he doesn't know all the things the fans know. There's nothing wrong with being wrong, it's when you're blatantly lying to try and earn unearned points with the aifience that you get called out. To be fair, I don't actually think it's a big deal that he messed that up, it is wild it comes right after a claim to be a fan of the movies though.

@@rubenjz5748 There's a massive difference. The Acolyte guy said multiple times in official promotional interviews that the main villain of the OT (and Vader was the main villain up until RoTJ) is the person who destroyed the biggest threat to the galaxy. That's not the same as mistakenly saying a minor side character who is best known for saying "What about the droid attack on the Wookies?" was killed by Wookies instead of Clones. I'm 100% certain Nick Gillard knows the difference between Luke and Anakin/Vader. I can't say the same for anyone working on The Acolyte.

THey just don't have any clue how to film a scene with multiple combatants. Not that it's easy, not at all. But it is completely feasible and just takes some effort...

Maybe one day...

LMAOOOO

No Scooby snacks though?

The only ones missing was sol and Jackie which both could’ve been knocked out for some time or even thrown farther then the rest and they got a bit lost idk but personally I think that’s the least of any of the issues of the show

The power level to force push a bunch of Jedis is ridiculous. Not sure if the lore talks this through, but Jedi knights and masters can typically defend against that. Else there would be a lot more force pushing, pulling, and choking going on mid combat. Sure it probably looks cool. But the ramifications for the character is large.

Don't make me choke on my smoke like that!!! 😂😂😂😂

Ya idk where he got that idea, is it because there’s only girls? Does that mean the night sisters are too?? Wild thing to say

@@masonlotz5898 well no bruhhh, the tv show encourages the viewer to understand that they are lesbian witches, meanwhile in the clone wars, the night sisters (emphasis in sisters) is a sisterhood, there is no topic around conyugal love.

I think it has to do with the fact that the creator is one and it seems like she’s interjecting her own political views into the show

@@renelimas333 Maybe I missed the love part, I mean obviously they love their mother but it seemed they only had one mother and they were conceived miraculously through the force, idk how that relates to being lesbian unless I missed a detail

@@masonlotz5898 There is a kiss scene(i dont remember if they actually kissed but it was intimate) between the leader and the ones with the horn if you watch the episode they are obviously a couple so its not wrong.

Imagine using that phrase about Star Wars in the Prequel Era! Lol

​@@RangerMcFriendlyYou mean like the multitude of episodes of Clone Wars centered on Dathomir?

Imagine actually making that comment lol derrr​@RangerMcFriendly

And John Knolls, his contribution to the Prequels was invaluable. He also came up the story for Rogue One (probably the only reason it's Disney's best). Totally agree, btw. Getting those two for the Vader film would be phenomenal and imo, legitimise it as canon!

Yeah they actually really would.

He said because they’re too authentic and copying rather than being inspired and coming up with their own stuff.

Yes! I personally don't think that all Disney fights are bad. For example: I believe that the Lightsaber fights of Rey and Kylo are actually pretty good, because the way they fight imitates the style of the originals trilogy duels. Luke fought a litlle clumsy aswell. It makes sense taht Rey and Kylo would fight simirally because they are no jedi from the time of the prequels. But the fights from Ahsoka or esspecially The Acolyte should look like what we see in the prequel era because those Jedi and Ahsoka have been trained in the Jedi Arts and the very elegant way of fighting for years. They come from a more civilized age and their fighting should mirror that.

​@@melkuen5223Luke was also trained by PT Jedi, but they were also past their combat peak. That was Lucas' intent with the PT duels, to show what Jedi were truly capable of back in the day. I would argue that Old Republic Jedi were even better, generally speaking. Considering that they battled Sith more often in countless battles.

Personally i dont think the fights are that bad, but whats missing with them is proper character writing and writing in general, luke vs vader was not a great fight but after weve seen it once we will remember it for the rest of our lives because of what it mattered to character, story and to us as audience. Good writing is a key for us to care about the fight adn the outcome and thats the key for it to be memorable i feel.

​@@melkuen5223 But thats still copying....not "inspired bt" and with better technology and choreography ability, on top of the fact that Luke at this point has way more knowledge of Jedi fighting it doesnt really make sense to look like the originals.

I think it is very obvious that when Disney took over, they wanted to bury the prequels. They brought on JJ Abrams to completely flip the switch back to the OT nostalgia and ignore everything that was done in the prequels. I think the acolyte as much as it sucks and the animated shows have been there only attempt to really try and recapture the prequel magic.

@@StraightOtohGunga It was obvious, yes. They began to want to do that with the OT too, over time. Now they despise ALL of George's Star Wars collectively. They want only their Activist Star Wars to rule the day.

you can gonna tell me in the eye that the fights in this series aren't good? they fucking beat mustafar end fight, ask any normie show them footage lmao

He's not pushing propaganda just good Star wars stuff.

Disney obviously didn't need them. They did a great job with the team they hired.

Wait is it confirmed that Nick's doing the choreography for Vader ep 2?

​@@greendusk93that's amazing if true

@@greendusk93yes

@@master-dukecuthbert5061yes he is

@@user-oc7og1nc1iwow he got the frickin jedi battlemaster himself to choreograph those fights. How much does Theory have?

Just delete the delay between slays, and it's a brilliant choreography. It's far from being the worst having tons of material where to choose like the sequels, series, etc.

It was dog water and I’m annoyed George was dumb about it like that

@@disguisedcentennial835 I wonder why though? Maybe Ian was super insistent about being in it himself? Surely it couldn't have been an issue with time, it was all already set up

Wait, Nick is involved in Theory’s Vader movies?

@@AlexJR122 Yep, he's doing the fight scenes for parts 2 and 3

Same man, I really despise how the internet has seemed to make many people adapt the mindset of having to either 100% love and defend something, or 100% hate and nitpick something. The acolyte has its problems, but it isn't the steaming pile of garbage that a ton of people on this channel think it is

@reveleo36 Exactly bro. Glad to see someone else with the same mindset

Could you explain what he means about experts in Kung Fu and Wushu means that please?

Lightsaber fights would be over in seconds if they were actually realistic. It would be nothing but jab, jab, jab until your opponent is dead.

She said it in an interview with The AV Club (Interview was published June 21, 2021) I have heard her say that she's drawn inspiration from her favorite martial arts movies and specifically has mentioned: Yojimbo, Rashomon, The Matrix & Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

@@Christian-el2bz I found the interview but nothing was mentioned about Duel of Fates or any lightsaber fight. She talks mostly about her love for the originals and barely mentions the prequels.

It's a BS claim meant to irritate prequel fans.

Nobody here is interested in the truth and they won't listen to anything LH actually says, they just want to keep spreading the bullshit that others have SAID that she said.

I would love to watch an interview of SWT telling George Lucas what George Lucas legacy is.

​@@zachwong1994 I would love an interview of George Lucas telling SWT that he's a bellend

@@omituinenvipeltaja7182 Dont think SWT would be able to upload a full unedited version of that if it happened. He's spent years telling people what GL legacy is he probably thinks GL would be flattered to hear about it when GL probably has completely different thoughts and doesn't even mind some Disney SW. GL already knew when he sold SW it was no longer his and probably anticipated they would change some things like any reasonable person would when they sell something. GL prob thinks SWT is a little insane and obsessive.

He barely knows who the characters are besides the scenes he worked on. Theory had to spoon feed his Mundi lore dump on him. He's not a SW nerd. He's a fight choreographer who happened to work on Star Wars. It's like assuming every camera operator or makeup artist is a super fan. They're just doing their jobs. It's not some impeachment of the show that he hasn't watched it. He probably hasn't watched most SW content besides the scenes he worked on.

No real

He saw it

He said he saw the figthing from a clip that was sent to him

​@@antoniovelcovici9131A few second clip from an episode with like 15 mins of fighting. Was it even a lightsaber fighting clip or one of the hand to hand segments he went on to critique? Don't know. Who needs an informed interview when you can get a few negative sound bites out of it.

Yeah, this is just dumb

Shut up, you Disney fan boy. 🤡

Only for Theory fans really, I’m not gonna lie to you. It’s quite boring hearing two people just talk about a topic about anything anywhere

Theory’s description of the Acolyte to Nick is a pretty biased and simple-minded take honestly.

Just found the longer video! XD haha Still, love your work! NEVER GO AWAY! We need people like you!

He has

5/10? That episode has been the best piece of live action Star Wars media since Revenge of the Sith. It’s easily top 3 lightsaber fights of all time too. The rest of the show hasn’t been great but that episode was peak Star Wars and people saying otherwise are 🤡

@@lankeysob I know u trolling rn

@@ihavethehighground732 Nah. its straight up objectively one of the best in the series.

@@lankeysob yeah nothing objective about an opinion. It is shot in a horrible way, with multiple actors standing still like idiots or just derping around instead of fighting. The trees also obcsure a lot of the scene at times. If you slow it down you can see more mistakes. At one point a lightsaber hits the cortosis gauntlet and does not short out. At some other point the sabers just PASS THORUGH each other. Sol swings at air instead of Smilo-Ren multiple times. All of this is factual and you can see it for yourself lol. This fight scene is an utter dumpster fire. It is not peak anything, aside from peak of dogshite. There are also inconsistencies in skill of the fighters and flow of the battle. How can this sith kill like 5 jedi at once but struggles against a padawan? Why does he not kill 2 different opponents while he clearly has: reason, means and time to do so? Why is he leaving combatants, who still pose a threat to him, alive? How the actual f*ck does he loose a 1v1 when he just destroyed 5 jedi in a 1 v 5??? When you actually try to use logical thinking and analyze what happens in this episode it quickly becomes apparent that it is a MESS. You can like it as much as you want, but reality is what it is. These fight scense are really dumb.

The Mandalorian S1 & S2 are better than this mush. So is Andor. "Oh look! A lightsaber battle! Thats so cool! Instantly redeemed the show!!!" Soy mode

Did you gloss over the whole part where Nick said that people don't care about realism and just want something cool? If you're slowing things down to critique the fights, you've already failed. That's not how they were meant to be watched, so that's not how they were designed. Simple as that.

WHY would you slow fights down to analyze them? Obviously, they are not meant to be watched that way.

I slow them down because they look OFF to me and I’m a filmmaker and story consultant for interactive media, so I analyze things like that. What I’m saying is that it’s OBVIOUS something is not right there. And again I say this about other shows not just Star Wars. And it fails to look the same way as Nick choreographs his fights. And Nick was talking about not having a sense of realism to match the Kung Fu style of professional fighting because that’s trash. And of course it’s not supposed to be realistic because it’s a fucking laser swords for fuck’s sakes. And I’m specifically talking about TARGETS. He directs his combat to the right TARGETS. That part is obvious even when watched at natural speeds. It looks clunky and unpolished. Slow down Nick’s fights and you’ll see the glaring difference. He targets the opponent not their weapon. It’s become this new trend and we saw that shit in the sequels. It’s garbage! Collectively, stunt designers need to stop having people standing around a target doing nothing but waiting to block a weapon. It’s extremely noticeable to a LOT of people not just filmmakers. And this is where I say video game sets and the actors under mocap/perfecto do much better. Our stunt teams are amazing because they HAVE TO direct to targets and they CAN’T just have people sitting around. The immersion of video games is far greater than films so I get why it’s put more time into. But I think it shouldn’t lack in either case.

@@Maria_Espino Prequels definitely suffer from the same thing. Maybe not as much, but whatever you say. No extended battle is going to be at all realistic. There are going to be tons of missed openings and unnecessary blocks. If you wanted to go at it with a magnifying glass, most fight choreography makes no sense. It's just meant to look cool. Rose tinted glasses and all that. The best, most realistic lightsaber battle is Obi-Wan vs Maul in Rebels. 3 moves and it's over. That doesn't make for very grand action sequences, though.

@@Maria_Espino Okay, analyzing fight choreography for professional reasons is a legitimate use case. However, I disagree that Nick's PT-era fights had more target accuracy than this episode. Even at full speed, you can look at those fights and see many times where sabers were aimed where the actor/stuntman knew where his opponent's block was going to be, even when the body was completely open. There's a memorable scene where Obi-Wan jumps almost a full second before Maul sweeps his double saber underneath. The fight in the Acolyte had the benefit of being able to "hit" Qimir because of the Cortosis mechanic. It also had more hand to hand combat, which gave it a more raw, visercal feel. And, imo, having the first part of the fight obscured behind the trees reduced some of "standing around" problem effectively.

Its unfair

How can you get such a high budget and not make a good show

​@@FortnitePro-qn5chThe council is just a bunch of money laundering out of touch idjits. (looks at Obi Wan)

@@F0XD1E obviously. Knowing the details of a side character's death is one thing. Knowing one of the most fundamental facts about the jedi is another

@@elmoninjaking94 how is the level of force sensing abilities a fundamental fact about the jedi? Is there a published threshold about what they can and cannot sense? Is there a chart plotting distance and number of people killed for what falls into the sensing range? If the timeline was how it was portrayed in the film, Yoda didn't sense anything until well into Order 66. He didn't sense his #2 guy Mace dying or Anakins fall. It took a significant disturbance for him to be able to sense it from across the galaxy.

@@F0XD1E they aren't across the galaxy from him, at one point they are stood in the same room as him and don't even get a shimmer of the dark side.
