So to be clear, while I dropped out after Ep 2, I will point out what the training sequence is "supposed" to be. As a traditional kung fu practitioner, does modern combat sports and studied old school Japanese weapons-based martial arts as well, and a Star Wars fan of course, this is supposed to be about showing part of the training drills of Jedi, going off of Lucas borrowing from Samurai film and to some extent kung fu film stuff, where we seem the solo training drills to learn and refine basic mechanics, footwork ect in things like Drunken Master, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, The Last Samurai ect. In Chinese and Japanese martial arts, we have many short and long solo weapons routines that people train (though I would say they look more entertaining than this), but also paired routines. In modern HEMA (European weapons arts), that often have similar things like this as well, so someone can practice movements on their own and later apply to prearranged partner drills, and sparring. It looks like that is what they were doing, like in Ashoka and some others films. I suppose I sound like I am defending the quality of the sequence, but I more pointing out what the writers and choreographers thought this was supposed to be, as opposed to what it was supposed to be. Too often I feel like they try to make-up just some movements as opposed to borrowing from actual traditional sword/fencing routines that look more exciting. More importantly your reaction to this is what indicates the problem with the sequence. I was in between on what I consider the quality of the scene with Sabine, but she should not great, being more amateur and High Republic era Jedi solo routines should look pretty awesome and the sequence should just capture you so you are not even thinking about why is there. It is kinda weird that I feel like Sabine's drills make more sense then this one did. If the audience is having to think about the why it is there, the choreography of the sequence is obviously not entertaining. I have often been bothered by a lot of Hollywood created solo weapons routines, as they are often done so neither a actual martial artist nor audience member finds they interesting or purposeful.

@@zhaozilong99 This training sequence, no matter how you spin it, was dead awful and came off terribly on screen for most of us, lmao. Appreciate the long comment though my friend. Cheers!

​@zhaozilong99 excellent description of what the training sequence should have looked like. Thank you. :)

Yeah, leaving that out is almost as bad as breaking cannon of a beloved franchise and then having Wookiepedia cover up your mess. Almost.

Wasnt necessarily a slip up. Noone said your 2/10 wasnt (too) generous. Both statements can be true :)

It's all filler.

Unless you're a hack writer with only 3 hours of material 😂

Big fact.

That's if we are discussing an actual series and not propaganda tools

180 million budget bruh.

And forgot to tell the council about another Sith lol.

Somehow Mundi Forgot

This show makes me agree with Order 66.

And middle aged already 😂

WHATTTTTTTTTTT!???

Maybe I gotta expose this tomorrow

I mean I think you should, I've heard the same infact in one comment section someone actually tried to tell me they burned through 22.5 mil of budget on alien makeup, robes and shooting on location, for 28 minutes of an episode! make it make sense 😂

Should’ve went back to cosmetic costumes 😒

I honestly think it's because they lack the ability, not through lack of money (that was just a happy coincidence) they can barely choreograph human like fights, do you really believe they have the talent to make an even half decent fight scene with a wookie?

Really?? you're fixated on a helmet. that looks nothing like Kylo's... that was a cool entrance and start to a show down.

@@6gunn13The Helmet design is literally the only cool part of the entire show.

@@Byronic19134 Really, you focused on a helmet.. and not the entrance and how this bad guy. took everyone out with ease.

Probably. Putting in the show exactly that one person who was commenting on how long the sith was extinct in the prequels, must be trolling🤷‍♀️ can't believe this just happening right front of us.

@@galaktikuszselatinmy thing is why would kiadi mundi of all masters lie about something like that

@@jilliebean6312 yeah, so is he a traitor now? Or how will they explain what he said in TPM? 🤷‍♀️ And Yoda? He didn't know about it or did he lie too?God, I hate Disney 😭😂

It appears the sequels and this drivel are trolls.

@@jilliebean6312he wouldn’t this is the most brain dead writing it’s like they read all the lore and then just said fuck continuity put a chick in it and make it gay.

There are distinct “styles” of lightsaber technique which is why count Duku stances were always so different than the rest of the boys, so it makes sense that they would memorize kata as part of that training. But yeah they could have actually built upon that lore and taught the audience about that so they didn’t have to read about it in an Encyclopedia while shopping at Costco.

Money laun****ing

I'm still trying to figure out why OSHA's fucking handheld multitool is a droid and not just a multi tool. IT DOESN'T DO ANYTHING BEING A DROID! CAN'T FUCKING MOVE!!!!!

Juneteenth tax

Tax breaks. Same reason Bat Girl never saw the light of day. Claim a loss, pay less tax.

They spent all their money on a luxury resort in the Philippines duh

You speak truth,

Theres gotta be money laundering involved dude aint no way

Where can we see a breakdown of how much each episode cost?

@@PonyFoot123bro, I always said that’s what Steven segal was doing. That or tax write offs

@@ralos329 google it I’m sure it will come up

Jeff Spicoli spent it all, hiring Van Halen to play at his birthday party.

probably went to pay off Harvey Weinstein's victims

Wish they gave me some of it bc i would smoke it

Maybe the last episode is like 3 hours long

Nah I think the acolyte is a step in the right direction because they are letting go of the main franchise which is great but if the shows are this bad then it’s not worth it at all

Cornier than Oprah’s shit after the 4th of July.

Just like Eminem 😂

Children express to an island

CCP

Seriously theyres 0 reason they cut the wookie fight scene……

Maintaining a wookie man bun costs a lot of money

I don't care. It will be boring.

Exactly the anti-climax we should all expect to subvert our expectations!

No way! I bet 10 dollars

I legit said the same thing to my girlfriend at the end of episode 4

If not a flash back. It's going to open up and the only jedi still alive are sol, jeaki, and yord.

They don’t care about any of the nuts and bolts a craft of screenwriting or writing for TV. It’s as if their white or other privilege means they don’t have to follow the traditions or necessary beats of good or even just competent storytelling. It’s outrageous. It’s as if they’re too good to ever read let alone follow any advice from a screenwriting guide book.

You have put far to much effort into your analysis... It's called failing upwards... and it is the only reward people of the participation trophy era understand! They are not 'adults role playing as children'... they are adult-children role playing as adult-adults... you can see this by watching children plan and present there own original 'home-made plays'. You watch as an adult, you acknowledge all the flaws, and yet you still clap for them making the effort. When adults do it, you do not! And, as children they react as you would expect, by throwing a tantrum and demanding the respect they got when they were physically young enough to be rewarded for nothing more then effort.... "But 🥺, BuUtT 😢, I was promised a trophy... even if I lose 😭!!!!" 😤😠🤬

The casting couch is stronger with these scissor sisters than it ever was with men.

Right out of The Parent Trap.

Shot reverse shot. Shot reverse shot. Shot reverse shot.

It's pronounced "WOK-EE."

i wanna know how these writers get their jobs. I wanna participate and provide something better

@@xChikyx Get a tax payer funded student loan, attend way to many university classes on how to use your native language, most importantly have the correct and immutable external characteristics (or just claim that you do believably enough).

They didn’t always have ads, and tbh it’s not worth paying for the adless tier

How far she has fallen

Don't say that too loud, if Disney hears they might think remaking the holiday special might be a good idea.

I think this says a lot about coddled Hollywood writers. Little practical sense, and they just assume there’ll be a well made bridge and infrastructure wherever they go.

"GET THE HELL OUTTA HERE WITH YOUR COMMON SENSE!" - the writer's room probably

"It's not about the money... It's about sending _the message."_

The in house team says it's all good....

What were they supposed to cut? The walking and talking or the talking and walking?

Do you honestly think they have the talent to choreograph a wookie lightsaber duel? Guaranteed they they tried but knew it would just add fuel to the fire.

See, a wookie fighting a lightsaber duel leaves little opportunity for the dialogue necessary to prove you can bring home the Bechdel Test trophy...again.

According to a Q&A Hedland didn’t have the money for the fight and felt it distracted from the walking and talking. I’m not even joking. A million dollars a minute and they couldn’t afford the fight everyone obviously wanted most.

I heard the reason they kill him off screen is because they don’t have the budget to show the fight💀

That’s not even the same group. The pods were the Mae and qimire and the clothe was the Jedi.

He will be in a flashback fight scene don’t worry

Just use normal sabres. If you get run through, pop to see the nurse and you're better in a day!

LET'S GO MY LEGEND

“Lesby Headno”

That..... would almost make me watch the show lol..... almost.

They would ruin the rule 2 also.

@mentallyripped5274 Why stop now? He could be a Sith adjacent.

@@dandreray1602 as far as I’m concerned, if the EU isn’t canon, neither is this show.

Since the force runs in families it would have been really easy and believable to just say it was Mundi grandfather or great grandfather.😂

Exactly and a man bun😂

They float! They ALL float!

I think “Red Lightsaber = Attack”

_How dare you question nepotism!!!!!_

KZ-ZS10 PRO I believe! Yea Maul was.... Interesting. He should stay dead lmao.

Me too!

Listen to the dialogue it’s so generic and doesn’t even relate to what they are practicing in a meaningful way. Glad you enjoyed but for most of us it was corny and wasted

​@@Stark-CinemaFair. I like the practice choreography, I think it speaks to how skilled the Jedi are and it characterizes them better than a sparring match would. But the dialogue is bad, yes. It doesn't match the padawans' actions at all; it's a lesson they are already proving they don't need to learn. And the later inclusion of the actual line "No one could have survived that" is worth so many negative points it made me genuinely angry.
