Can’t hear OSHA without thinking of workplace safety. Lol

Jeremy is so right. I don’t actually watch Star Wars anymore.

"What's my motivation?" "The script." "Now this is writing!"

Don’t you know Jeremy? When a villainous dark sider guy has a shirtless scene, that’s film short hand for, all’s forgiven.

You know it’s a Disney product when they’re not afraid to add a wet shirtless guy as a thirst trap; but simultaneously decide that Leia in a bikini is problematic.

"You killed my friends!" "Yup." "You killed Yord!" "Uh-huh." "You killed Jecki!" "Yeah, wanna wear my sweet Dark Side helmet?" "Yes, please."

That's actually a really good point Jeremy - Mae's infiltration attempt went nowhere. Then again, it brought us Bazil vs Mae! Show didn't have enough budget to show the Wookie fight, instead we got a kung fu beaver.

the worst part is that despite all the "the force is female" BS, they gave the female lead NO agency, both characters she's playing just gets dragged around by other people the whole series and any time they do decide to do something on their own the story just forgets it happened (ie. Mae deciding to surrender to the Jedi)

“We dont know because they don’t know because the writers don’t know.” That is Disney’s Star Wars

I feel bad for the people forcing themselves to watch this show. Jeremy, you’re doing the lord’s work

The Acolyte in a nutshell: "They treat it like it's some sort of bulls*** sithcom" - Jeremy Jahns

Just met you 5 minutes ago at half price books. Just wanna say thanks for taking time to allowing me to meet you. I'll never look at the cyborg movie the same anymore 😂

3:27 “We don’t know, cause she doesn’t know, cause the writers don’t know.” Easily the best summary of this show I’ve read.

This helmet blocks out everything except the force... and also the force

There’s a shortage of dumpsters in Hollywood. Disney put them all on fire.

Fun Fact: Osha and Mae are named after a Canadian boutique soap company. Osha Mae. The more you know.

To quote Jeff Goldblum. That is one big pile of acolyte.

Just living for Andor at this point.

MOM! Star Wars is making Jeremy drink again!!!

Boromir to the Alcolyte Show Runners: "Give Jeremy's liver a moment for pity's sake!"

Thank you Jeremy so much for taking one for the team! You’re right, a lot of us are not watching but always looking forward to your review.

Bless you J cause just watching a review about this show is stressful asf already, can't imagine trying to force myself to sit through it

Disney: Come to the Dark Side, we have abs

Turns out....that helmet is OSHA compliant

“we don’t know, because she doesn’t know, because the writers don’t know.” bingo

All valid points. There is too much convenience. No effort in consequences. No knowledge of time. The twins are all over the place with their arcs.

“If we don’t know what we’re doing, the enemy won’t either.” -Leslie Headland

The fact that we’ve seen Jeremy go from slightly optimistic to just downright alcoholism in 6 episodes is impressive. Good on you for not tapping out after episode 0 like most people.

I can see by 8th episode Jeremy barely standing up and being super drunk... 😂😂😂

Jeremy, you're doing the Lord's work. So glad I've given up on these Star Wars show and I won't forgive Disney for wasting a perfectly fine Manny Jacinto on this.

"Star Wars being the tale of morality. The struggle of good and evil." Was. It was.

At this point I'm more interested in what kind of scotch JJ is drinking than The Acolyte.

Anyone else always have the like button hit before the ad ends on Jeremy's videos? 😂

Sol letting out his emotions and slamming his fist into the table and acting the way he's acting got me thinking he's truly got alternative motives

People don't watch Star Wars they watch videos about SW. So true my friend.

That scar on his back. A lightsaber couldn't have done this, but maybe... *dundundun*... a whip!

It feels like Leslye Headland had maybe 90 minutes of “story” and D+ said stretch it into 8 episodes.

Jeremy is the best Star Wars show airing right now😂

I was afraid of Jeremy's liver but I forgot his brain took just as much damage

i haven’t seen an episode of this but i’ve watched all of your videos. thank you

Crazy I have been watching this amazing dude for about 10+ years I think. Reviews are still going strong. Love it 🎉

The way characters drip-feed us tiny scraps of information and then either walk away or get interrupted by a conveniently timed problem. It allows the writers to spin out short, simple conversations into entire episodes.

Green Jedi lady is the big bad, she tried to kill apprentice thirst trap with her flexi saber ( back wound ) and he wants revenge through doppelganger no 1

KZfaq videos about the Acolyte must have more views collectively than the Acolyte itself.

it amazes me how many folks will handwave away bad writing, rather than just call it bad writing.

You search for logic in this show. Admirable.

"you could've just had Sol apprehend Mae at the end of the last episode and it would've been the same result" This comment summarizes the whole show 🤣

Yeah, you nailed it all. Venestra's assistant reminds me of Dedra Meera's assistant. And Venestra is starting to remind me of Dedra Meera. They're telling this story like a summer camp counselor telling a ghost story over the fireplace.

And I remember Jeremy being all excited on those SW quizz games at conventions, answerimg difficult questions about the expanded universe and so on... annd now, watching him, as well as a major part of the SW fandom, not giving a **** anymore is so sad... Disney has massacred our boy.

Let's just say she got a good look at every shade of his saber color...

All the characters just waiver depending on what's needed for the scene. There's no build up, ever. It's not a twist if there's no setup.

This show, Ahsoka, Kenobi, and BoBF were all supposed to be movies under the "A Star Wars Story" label. After Solos box office flop, Disney announced that they were stopping the ASWS series and focussing on Disney+. My guess is these shows were all half-baked movie scripts that have been stuffed with filler and cut into episodes. This one is the most egregious so far with all the awkward cuts and cliffhangers out of nowhere. I mean what was that ending scene in this episode? It's so amateur it hurts! $180 million for this? Cmon.

0:11 Jeremy dealing in Absolute 😆

Yep. Always gotta click on Jeremy-Anu's handsome face. 🥰

you're right, so many plot holes in that episode... unbelievable

My god, 20 years from now JJ when you are a full blown alcoholic, you can pinpoint the moment your life went downhill and hopefully sue Lucas Film for this.

Lore says he wears the helmet to block out the nagging of the witches

This is the funniest one you've ever done!! 😂😂😂 and I've watched you for years

Jeremy jahns is my favorite character in the star wars universe

It feels like Disney's AI was trained on the Pitch Meeting skits

you got some good stories ...tell me another one couldn't be funnier 🤣

If Disney thinks the Bridgerton is their best shot at expanding the Star Wars audience, I'm done. I don't even know where to go from here. I'm so over it.

The Acolyte is pretty much the perfect encapsulation of Disney live action Star Wars lately...A pretty cool idea on the surface that totally fumbles its execution.

They had the sith guy kidnap a woman then expose himself full frontal to her without her consent lol headland definitely writes what she knows I suppose, had me feeling real awkward watching it NGL

I disagree with Osha just listening out of curiosity He could’ve left her there, killed her or tortured her, but he did none of those things. He only has a problem with Jedis and he clearly says that to OSHA. The Shirtless scene was to show off his scars so that he could explain it to her. If I recall correctly, she even states that it was a literal backstab to him and she asks if Sol did it. Besides, there was the whole high tides explanation, so she was basically trapped there. Clearly Sol is hiding something. And this shows clearly when Mae wakes up to be tightened up to a table, with that whole weird vibe, basically about to be tortured. This mirrors what I said about Smilo Ren treating Osha well, using clean/white clothes and all. I think next episode is going to dive deeper on that. On how Jedis can be corrupt (that Senate scene) and morally ambiguous to say the least.

Lol, watching Jeremy's slowly transforms into a certain drinker is a fookin' hilarious.

Characters who are evil but think they are good are what you get when writers who think the same way about themselves.

We're at the runtime of Fellowship of the ring...(and a little into 2 towers) and what has happened? We know as little as we did when we started. And wow the dialogue is so bad.

We are all so grateful for your sacrifice Jeremy

THere are no stakes. People are just vibing around.

Can we talk about Mae's ridiculous scream when she gets sprayed with oil in her eye? It was insane and then 2 seconds after it was like nothing happened. Also, im calling it now, Green Jedi Lady gave Smilo Ren the back scars.

That back scar....does look like a lightsaber.....a lightsaber whip!!😂😂

5:52 It’s because he sensed if he didn’t leave they the rescue ship would have cause a fender bender with his. Close call.

I’m a bet these writers aren’t bad, they either just didn’t want to work on this show or were not given enough time to be concerned about the story.

At this point with the current state of Star Wars, someone should make a star wars themed liquor bottle flavour for Jeremy here, call it "Dark Sip"

Star wars is temporary but jeremy jahns videos are eternal

0:04 cant be more accurate.

“Darth Thirst Trap” 😂😂😂

I really like that Jeremy actually critisizes the bad writing and is not diving into the whole other internet scandals and shouting around this show. A show needs to be judged primarily by its writing and plot ❤

Smile-o ren was green bald jedi master's Padawan. The scar looks erratic on his back and she has an energy whip lightsaber. Mystery solved.

The sales of the whisky industry must have exploded considering how many bad movies and shows Critical Drinker and Jeremy Jahns reviewed.

I literally couldn’t bring myself to watch this episode so I came here for the summary! XD thanks man!

The Acolyte and Jeremy keeping Johnnie Walker on business 🥃

Qimir Naked Body was the highlight of the episode..

Very relevant comment about the shortcut. I heard Theravada Buddhists monk being asked if a person should take sedatives or antidepressants to suppress the desire (source of suffering) they always say no. That is a shortcut that defeats point of Buddhism.

Rylo Ken, Dank Lord of the Thirst - Seducer of winemoms and destroyer of canon.

When the writers have no compass, moral or otherwise, in their real lives, how can they be expected to write characters that do?

Video hasn't started yet but I can see Jeremy is still dressed for funeral.

9:35 totally agree here - these characters have no consistency and no trajectory, so their story is ultimately not interesting and free of tension. It's the biggest problem with the show - not sure if it's because of re-shoots, or just the way it was written.

The description below is brutal 😂😂😂

OSHA saw his dark side and fell in love with it….jeeki who?

These videos are more exciting than the actual show itself lol.

Why has nobody mentioned that the green jedi lady looks like shrek without the ears 😂 6:50

Hell yeah Smile-O Ren coined by MauLer needs to be the canon name

I haven't watched a single episode of 'The Acolyte,' yet I already know how it ends.

I love it when media makes me question "is this intentional or nonsensical" constantly.

Also he didn’t say his former Jedi master did it. He said his former master did it. Osha assumed and asked if it was his Jedi master and he didn’t answer.

Getting flashbacks to the Ben Swolo memes, and I can’t believe those were better times
