squid game is bigger than Star wars in 2024.

Not mentioning he also got a whole career in Asian But, yeah, it's good ge starting to appear on mainstream western production

I respect Lee Jung Jae as an actor; but I feel like they practically forced him to learn English for this lead role. If you read articles about it, he took essentially a crash course in it. And obviously he's not so fluent in it enough to communicate in an interview like this.

​@@melkor77751He was in that awful remake of the Housemaid

@@spotter121877they had to force him to learn English because they wanted him and he couldn’t speak any English before. So it makes sense that they made him study. It would’ve been worse if he didn’t study and just memorized the lines without knowing the meaning.

He's easily my favorite character so far, yeah.

He may be a good actor but in this show he isn't that good. It must be the director?

Probably because English isn’t his first language

Yet I have seen many on this video and people not even knowing the terms they are talking about 😂

And so?

@@Georgiaaara they know they are wrong making this series, also they are scared of comments that is judging them for destroying star wars by their WOKE stupid culture.

They're not, that's just how KZfaq works. Your whiny comments are very visible, I assure you.

@@Georgiaaara and so thats at the least disingenuous

They literally translate it right after He's done speaking 😂

in 24hrs there's going to be numerous layers of s*** hitting the fan.

Indeed Jackson857 and she playes violin very well 🙂 Also good actress. Enjoy streaming The Acolyte via D+ 🙂

​@@FedayginAye. She was well remembered as sweet little Rue from the Hunger Games

@@freelands8355 Now after watching episode one and two or a pirated site.. (NO MONEY FOR DISNEY) I went back and watched youtube clips of Rue getting speared over and over again.

Don't get butt hurt because a white guy is not the lead (like in every other show).

I wouldn’t care if the main character was a hamster if they told a good story. We want a good story. That’s all. Give my six year old daughter an hour and she can write a better story than this crap they are trying to pass off as Star Wars.

@@bretbradford2826 yet he was complaining about the cast, not the story. if we had the same story but with all white males you probably wouldn't even be bitching right now

​@@bretbradford2826 I completely agree! These people thinking this is good must be part of "the woke bunch." The guy from Squid Game is the only good thing about this debauchery.

Yes and many nice answers 🙂 Good times when streaming via D+ 🙂

You probably know by now, but Mae isn't the villain. She's a red herring in a way.

What You mean?

Dubbing/ADR isn't really that good. It's possible they did put someone else's voice over his, I think it's actually him performing the lines. He speaks slowly and deliberately, so I have a feeling he's learned English to a degree and is simply memorizing the lines in the most natural way he can. It's no doubt a heck of a challenge for him, but he does it quite well.

@@Lucifronz Yes, upon watching his performance again, I believe it's actually him speaking. If I had to speak German in a film project, I would try to learn a little bit, plus get a dialogue coach to help me with my lines. It's possible that someone off-camera is speaking the opposing actors' lines in Korean, maybe just prompts on which line is to be spoken next.... but I think Lee Jung-jae is great enough to know which lines come where and how to say them. As a back up, they might tweak his lines (pronunciation and delivery) in post. Just my educated guess.

He mentioned in an interview on a Korean show that he learned enough English to accomplish the job, including the nuance that intonation brings in the language. For context, the U.S. military considers Korean one of the most difficult languages for an American to learn due to its complexity of varying relational terms and its grammatical structure. Because of our grammatical structure, however, how someone delivers a word or sentence can change the meaning of it. That's not really as much of a thing in Korean. So what he accomplished in working with language coaches to nail not only pronunciation but also proper emphasis in delivery while acting, is really praiseworthy.

​@@AngelaSealana I study languages (European, with English being my first language) but I'm not an expert by any means. I believe that Asian languages and Arabic, and also African languages are probably the hardest to master, let alone, speak just well enough. Upon reading more and more about Lee Jung-Jae, I definitely [now] think he's speaking English in his Acolyte lines every time he's being filmed. Whether or not he's had to do ADR on them after filming is another thing. I like the way he speaks in The Acolyte. I agree with others who say this. It makes sense for someone in his role on the council.

white men evil? I guess that's a story, of sorts...

Do you seriously not know what storytelling is? Because that's the only mildly acceptable reason you made this stupid comment.

Amen

What is Star Wars then??

You're thinking of the old 1980s lightup lightsabers, that had that tip. Today's lightsabers dont have that and also much more expensive.

In terms of marks; yes they use a version of prop saber that gets sold to the public but they are more stunt durable. It's used purely to mark the lighting and illuminate. It's a step up from silver poles and it gives off the light. The FX is still added in post tho

@HiddenPalm I have a $750 sabertrio Venza (seen in my profile pic) and you can see the tip of the blade looks like a separate piece when it's illuminated.

Special Gym 🙂 Good times soon when streaming The Acolyte via D+ 😋

it sucked

It's decent. The characters are fairly interesting so far.

@@Lucifronz 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Even better & hopefully it's to your liking, because I feel everyone should enjoy the lore and feel they can jump in at any point. I'm mid-fan, I don't know a lot about the lore, but I appreciate the world & the stories told so far, some more than most. I'm super excited for this, especially after Mando & the Ahsoka Tano series were a welcomed change of pace for me.

@@kosmicjedi never heard of those series. I am going to have to do some research before Acolyte

Amazing, welcome in.

Happy to see someone else get interested in the franchise, but I wouldn’t recommend starting with this series in order to understand the lore a lot better.

Poor baby.

@@Lucifronz nah poor anakin for blowing up the death star

@@Cbricklyne 36% and DROPPING on Rotten Tomatoes. LOL Whos crying? LOL

@Cbricklyne No one's crying, everyone's laughing, especially at the liars defending this crap.

Yall are pathetic honestly. Hating on a show because its a trend instead of thinking for yourselves. Sheep mentality fr!​@@MJeeEm-fg8md

First of all: Leslye Headland knows Star Wars quite well. The story group was involved, they have huge knowledge. Oh, and Dave Filoni was involved.

But do they know Star Wars that well? In Phantom Menace Yoda says a Sith hasn’t been seen for a thousand years. This is less than 100 years before that since it is 100 years before the rise of the Empire. In almost every interview about this show someone says Sith or calls Mae a Sith. So if Leslye Headland “knows Star Wars quite well” as you claim, how do you explain this glaring flaw? Was Yoda lying? Does Leslye know about this and chose to ignore it because she has no respect for the story? I think it’s more likely that Leslye Headland has no clue at all this scene happened in Phantom Menace. I have yet to hear her say anything that makes me think she knows a little about Star Wars. She could have at least used google to make sure she didn’t contradict anything George Lucas wrote. Do you happen to know how “involved” Filoni was in acolyte? I hope not much because the more he was “involved” the less I trust him. This show is awful. Shame on Leslye for claiming to know what she’s talking about, and shame on Filoni for being involved.

Cry about it 😂

Y'all call anything that has different ethnicities in it woke, no its not woke its reflective of the times we live in. Idiot.

these woke actors are hypocrite, look at their faces when the Korean speak

My favorite nod to the prequels is when they completely ignore it and do whatever they want. Like in phantom menace when Yoda says a sith hasn’t been seen for a thousand years. But hey we have Sith here. I love nods like that.The silver lining here for you is that you understand star wars as much as these dweebs.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Yeah... You're not a Disney shill at all

are you on drugs?

Nah

@@Jayme-zr3ce Hihihi now feel high and mighty when had to reply negatively to person who praised people's looks. Oh boy ^^

Mad Max Fury Road cast is the HOTTEST🔥 this one is good too but not the hottest.

​@@Fedaygin nah

Completely agree! Anyone who says this crap is "great" is no true Star Wars fan.

What is "woke" about this.

Agreed

Just read the comments and see how.

By showing us what they filmed.

Binary means “composed of, or involving 2 things”. She described the force as “binary” meaning light and dark. Thats how its always been described thru out all of star wars?? So idk what u mean by these actors are bad? Oh did you just not get what she meant?

They try so hard to be mad at the show meanwhile they lack basic understanding skills. It's ridiculous. ​@@myLocoson

@@Georgiaaara yeah i don’t understand the hate for the show. They say that “the acolyte” is woke but i havent seen anything like that yet.

It's funny that people wanted something outside the Skywalker saga and now we have it and everyone is hating on this show for no reason despite what the director said. It's Star Wars like come on.

It’s just some DEI bs! Lol this show is going to be stupid asf!

Too bad I don’t watch Star Wars for a good looking cast. I’d prefer an ugly cast with a good story, if we can only have one.

It’s probably that he’s able to respond faster in Korean so for sake of time it’s probably quicker to have a translator

@@Aether_Apollo Maybe he can speak basic English but in Korean he can be more articulate. Makes sense.

His name is Lee jung jae, famous from squid game

He has an earpiece in here. If you watch his other interviews, he can understand a bit, but his translator has been mostly asking him the questions in Korean after the interview does in English.

I haven't really seen him speak much English outside of the show. I believe that either his English is very basic or he is very shy about it. Either way, it's his choice to have an interpreter. He is actually an excellent actor. Everyone appreciates the story of Squid Game but not many talk about his performance in that show.

You’re a joke now go watch the prequels for the 100th time. No one is forcing you to watch anything

Your life is a joke

Yeah i noticed lately the RT critics score is like the opposite of audience score. What’s the point of those professional critics then even?

​@@NightmareSWGOHshouldn't you be busy upping the 34% audience score on rotten tomatoes?

@@SploogeonGoogle-sl6wh why tf would i ever? And oh... Its at 30% 🤣🤣🤣

Then you're not very creative.

Amen

Or maybe they're just good actors that fit their roles?

This show was written with actors already in mind for each character.

Maybe don't judge the show on the actors race or gender and then cry wolf about how Disney is being political

Right? And that does not really work does it? Who cares if the creators of this awful material call them names? The bottom line is that they need the fans to make any money and to generate the numbers they need. How Disney and the writers and producers feel about it is irrelevant.

Real life is diverse. So why can't that be reflected on screen
