@@EwanSL Star Wars is RUINED (again)

lmfao

Hmm. I feel this shows mystery is not very engaging at all. It's also been 6 episodes and so little has occurred. And very little intrigue was generated. Even if the last 2 episodes are amazing 10 outta 10s, the show would still be subpar. Especially considering the talent and funding behind it. If your mystery isn't hooking ppl when it's 6 episodes out of 8 then that's a big issue. Its not terrible or anything but I def wouldn't call it good.

No stories are meant to make you think. they’re meant to make you theorize and wonder what could happen next. Maybe you just don’t have the brain capacity to think at all and that’s why you think it’s bad.

“Thus far” nobody but Sol can attest to encountering someone with a red lightsaber; I talked about this in the video ^ Ki-Adi-Mundi, nor anyone on the Jedi Council, know about Qimir. Mundi saw a recording of Mae fighting Sol in hand-to-hand combat, that’s all.

Tell me you didn't watch the video without telling me 😂 smh

@@Remnicore and all Sol has to do is take out a comlink exactly how trinity does in the first scene if the show, and everything collapses. Also wdym nobody but him? I thought Mae was going to turn herself into the Jedi? What happens of OSHA survives and escapes, what then? For a sith hell bent on secrecy qimir/Mae have been doing possibly the worst job possible Edit: typo

To clarify, I'm aware she seems to have changed her mind mighty quick into e5 but you get the point. Qimir has done such a terrible job covering his tracks its already hard to believe the order wouldn't find out after what happened. Here's to ep 6.

⁠@@gravtycat9741 welp, he did just that! Sadly the script dictates he can’t say everything and his comms conveniently don’t work very well… Sol not mentioning anything about the Sith lends credence to what I said about how Qimir wasn’t saying he’s a Sith Lord - he was saying “I have no name, but knowing how you and the Jedi think of anyone who embrace the dark side, you’d probably just call me Sith”. The entire episode all but confirms Qimir isn’t a Sith Lord. There’s even more room for speculation now. He’s a former Jedi from “a long time ago” with scars on his back… did he get them from Vernestra and her lightsaber whip? Maybe it was his former Sith Master? Could he be a rejected Jedi AND Sith apprentice? They played Kylo’s theme again during the credits, he could very well be the first Ren. Sol is about to tell Mae about how and why he and the other Jedi killed everyone and destroyed the entire coven, and Osha is being seduced and is about to fall to the dark side. Everyone has secrets and is conveniently not going to tell other people who could change the course of history - it’s contrived as all hell, I agree, but it’s a prequel. Not a very good one, but still a prequel.

Tru dat yo. I decided not to bother, because the show looked terrible and appeared to be a hatefic built around glorifying the Sith. Problem is, the conversation has been dominated by Anti-SJW grifters and Far-Left Breadtubers slugging it out, something not helped by the lead actress deciding to make a diss track painting everyone who hates The Acolyte as the former.

@@atari1994 Dave Filoni was absolutely consulted on creative decisions with the lore and established characters like Ki-Adi-Mundi. He wasn’t the showrunner for The Bad Batch either, but he still gave them the greenlight to bring back Assaj Ventress from the dead. Filoni makes questionable decisions all the time.

@@Remnicore Until I hear Dave say he was consulted on this... I do not believe anything LH says.

I think we were all holding out hope that The Acolyte would be the Andor of the mythical-side of Star Wars… it’s a real shame.

@@Remnicore i dont think anyone had that level of expectations for it. At best it would be a Mando S2 with member berries every now and then and hopefully a few dark jedi or something. What it seems like is 5 drafts mixed together each written by chatgpt. The very idea that they though eight 30min episodes of characters we have never met to deal with factions and new ideas never done before was enough is beyond me. I love Andor and I cant imagine that show being eight 30 min episodes and still achieving anything it did. Its a show that seem handicapped in its execution, shallow or inconsistent in its writing with barely any impressive direction in art or visuals and still somehow wastes time.

I can't believe I fell victim to his grift back in the day...

@@NebLleb it’s not even about that, some of his videos are good. You just gotta use your brain to take the right info and not.

I kinda want to go watch that just to feel something lmao

​@@neelpatel8538also, coyb

If you are so disengaged from the franchise that you can't even be good faith towards show just based on the fact that it's star wars, then why are you even still watching? That seems like masochism

@@prolastmedia6171 The: “if you are critical of show and voice your discontent, wHy Do yOu sTilL wAtCh It?” is a shitty retort. It is the equivalent of some of nerdrotic takes haha Answer my question and disagree (give reasons) or disagree with the underlying assumptions baked into my question. Do something that actual engages the discourse, don’t just try to shut it down. I’ll rephrase it for ya: How many times can you be screwed over by person/corporation until you’re justified in assuming that you’ll be screwed over in the future? I’m only being half facetious, I actually wanna know how long some people will ride it out with Disney Star Wars.

I think there's something to be said about the initial response to your post and I think I know why these fans keep masochistically watching the show. Some people like Star Wars Theory (who is not so subtly motivating the content of this video) have gone and made Star Wars the center of their life and even their livelihood. Like a seasonal fisherman, they have to fish when it's in season or when star wars comes out cause that's when engagement is up and money comes in. So there's a financial reason for youtubers. Then there's the people who grew up with the prequels (like theory and myself) where the series is a core foundational pillar of our identity. A lot of my morality and views on the world stem from the prequels like living in the moment and not becoming so attached to anything that I end up becoming destructive in response to losing said thing. For people like us, it's almost impossible to NOT watch Star Wars no matter how bad it gets. The Last Jedi killed me inside but I got over it but some people like theory never did and now they think diseney is coming to ruin their prequels like the sequels did to the og trilogy (luke being a hermit and depressed af, han, luke and leia never getting their on screen reunion etc). But then you have to look at what these hard-core fans are saying and doing in response to disney putting out stuff that doesn't fit their views and understanding of the franchise. They are so far down the darkside that they are literally and unironically acting like anakin in episode 3. They have visions of star wars dying with the birth of each new show and season and in their efforts to cling to their childhood idealisations of the show, they are killing any chance they have of enjoying the current shows and that's led them down a path to hating not just the show, but the women and children who make the show too. Lol. In their blind masochistic quest to "save star wars" and "protect George lucas' vision," they are refusing to meet disney half way and come into these shows in bad faith and enabling the worst people in the community to go and hurl racist, sexist, and homophobic shir at the creators. I get that the fans have had to endure so much garbage from disney and that some of the creators and people in the company have come after the fans but some of these fans deserved that retaliation. Like we can't pretend like the creative at Disney aren't being racially abused online and that there's a large enough army of star wars fans who are just genuine garbage people and enjoy spreading hate. With each new show they say the same shit "disney killed str wars" yet 99% of them will never cancel their disney+ subscription and religiously watch the shows. These people don't see that star wars suffers mainly because of the disney+ business model which demands a steady stream of star wars content to maintain subscriptions and reduces the quality and allotted production time. They complain about the culture war topics rather than watching the show and evaluating it with clear mind. So when people tell them "if you hate it so much, stop watching" there's a reason for it. If you want to make a corporation change, you ALWAYS go after their revenue and choose to shop elsewhere but none of these culture vultures like SWT will, be it because they've stupidly chosen to make a living covering the franchise and/or are so emotionally invested that they can't think rationally. So at the end of the day, these people need to shut up and actually take action instead of bitching online, generating waves of unjust hate and stop watching cause that's the only way the executives who run the whole operation will get the message. But they won't and instead will continue to wage a culture war that does nothing but line disneys pockets and hurt the creatives who are genuinely trying to make good star wars in spite of the guaranteed army of trolls just chomping at the bit to see them fail so that disney stops making star wars. Theyd rather disney stop making shows than cancel a subscription which is a wild level of brain dead to me

@@trowf10d none of the above - as of right now, Ki-Adi-Mundi has no knowledge of Qimir’s existence, what he is (definitely not a Sith now after the last episode, at least not anymore) or the fact that he killed all of those Jedi.

@@Remnicore He should at least know that someone killed two Jedi's and that two more are targeted. That was the point of the meeting. Yes, sith had been extinct, but sounds like this other incident might be related. Even if he doesn't remember it on the spot, shouldn't he at some point go: "hang on, this little tidbit might be relevant". Maybe he brings it up and is dismissed offscreen 🤷‍♀

@@ryanbelanger4543 after that last episode, yeah no he’s definitely not a Sith. He’s a former Jedi as confirmed, but probably a rejected Sith apprentice too.

Yes he is. Omg if he says to the jedi you would call me sith then that's the name he thinks other people think he is. He could've just said he has no name and left it like that. But he had to say sith, which means that's what he is. If he truly wasn't a sith why even utter the word? Why? And if you pay attention to his dialog things he says clearly mimic what the sith say. People want to try and convince themselves he's not. And btw just cause he said he used to be a jedi doesn't mean he isn't a sith now. If only there was an example of a jedi turning into a sith. Oh wait there is, he's called anakin

Wow I didn’t even know… that kinda crosses the line.. I mean breaking canon is something but even then there’s always a way to work around that issue, however that song (or at least how you seem to describe it) is problematic.

​@@sluchx2692 Yeah, it's that bad 😬 They can break canon all they want because it can always be worked around like you said in some ways in the future. The Ki Adi Mundi debacle are just fans pointing out and mocking Leslye Headland/Lucasfilm on how they couldn't even be bothered adhere to the main movies lore. That just goes to show how much current Lucasfilm really does disregard George Lucas' story. I believe her song is called "Discourse" and in her song she managed to bring up slavery and how black people have to repress their anger around whites or some contrived crap like that all the while equating it to fans of a space opera franchise having criticism of an obviously bad and poorly made show that she stars in.

Extremely entitled and narcissistic of you to assume the show was made to spite you as opposed to being a story they wanted to tell lol

@@prolastmedia6171 You should be telling that to Leslye Headland that used this franchise as a 180 million dollar therapy session for her unresolved sister trauma in telling a lame story that no Star Wars fan wants to see.

Real

@@Remnicorelike the real criticism though! Good video!

I agree and disagree. Star Wars is great in the way the Thanos Saga is great. It was never meant to be dissected in the way you would dissect a text like Lord of the Rings, or Dune, or Song of Ice and Fire - yet so many Star Wars fans have Mandela effected themselves into thinking it was and are now in a permanent state of cognitive dissonance. Plus a lot of them are crusty racists lol

It's not a plot hole but it is super contrived. At least it setup how reva survived the second stabbing. It went thru the same hole! Lmao.
