House of the dragon has a similar budget to The Acolyte, yet their episodes are twice as long, get 10 instead of 8, and it looks a Hell of a lot better. Where TF did the money go?

"What about the screentime attack on the wookies?"

Budget Reasons!??? 190 mil 😭🤣

A Wookie Jedi would print money! It would have been the Grogu gravy train. The fact that they marketed a Wookie Jedi then killed him off camera, demonstrates how poorly run this show is.

Can’t believe they said it was down to the budget 🤣🤣🤣🤣

this is rian johnson all over again

we can still see him in the other flashback (like in the trailer)

They can't actually f up a wookie Jedi. It's a lay up

They killed off my fave characters right away

that ep was so damn short too so a fight scene could've been included. what a joke

I assumed the wookie knew his attacker and somewhat trusted them. Allowing him to be killed without a fight.

They have money in the budget to promote homosexuality though... 🙄🙄🙄 What's with the 7-8 minute credits. It seems that time could be better spent also...

this is why the acolyte is 14% on rotten tomato's... It deserves it.

I’m so tired of them having an excuse for everything

Is all the budget going up their noses WTF!?? I could barely finish the first episode but I'd watch an episode with a Wookie Jedi battle even if it was garbage

i think we'll get a witches-stronghold flashback where he fights

They already didnt have a fight scene for Torbin...this is just lazy.

budget reasons? it was a 180 million budget!

I’m pretty sure we’ll see it in a flashback in one of the last 4 episodes. Time and time again, people prove that they are too quick to assume

Where is this story even going? What does this do for the overall Star Wars universe?

She is saying budget reasons. This means that they are using Apple technology as their safe bet to keep Star Wars going. It may not be for every project, but because there were a lot of cancellations to past projects, they had to scramble to what they can work with and then push what they could with Macs, iPads and iPhones which are a more cheaper option, with higher performance for less power consumption, than Nvidia and Intel chips that saps away nearly a thousand watts an hour.

This is just as tv dressed up as Star Wars. The whole thing can be summarized with “Nothing to see here. Move along.”

I don't want Qimer to be the sith guy for one reason alone, its too damn easy

The Acolyte it's the gift that keeps on giving, but in the bad type of way😂

Plot Twist: it’s actually Jar Jar

Ima just say this, I REALLY like that mask the "master" has. its simple but perfect. hate me if you want Idrc. And if Qimir is the Sith guy Ima be kind of disappointed. they could have given that role to a better character or some random alien with a cool design idk.

If he is a Sith he is a acolyte or assassin under Tenebrous. Right? Time-line wise they did say they pulled from legends a lot.

they could've at least made him look like he put up a fight

Yeah I got very much the same feeling when I watched that episode. He's not the fool we think he is. "Sometimes the best place to hide is right out in public!" Prof Perry, TMNT 2: Secret of the Ooze. I also think we might see Kalnacca's death in the next episode, maybe a flash back after we get the reveal.

The hands are also really similar, og even the same. I thinks you're spot on.

It would have been really good writing if we had seen the kelnacca fight earlier on in the episode, and in the end we would have seen the result of the fight, with the viewer not really sure when things are taking place until the end of the episode. Also retake ALL forest scenes. They were so hard to watch.

They walked through the area he was hanging and he wasn’t there

We better get a jedi wookie that fights

This is just bad tv dressed up as Star Wars. The whole thing can be summarized with : “Nothing to see here. Move along.”

We've never seen a live action Wookie Jedi, so of course, let's cut out his fight scene. Peak Disney Star Wars. It's like if House of the Dragon cut out the dragons for budgetary reasons.

As cool as a Wookie Jedi fight scene would have been cool, it would have detracted from the actual episode by ruining the reveals and twists.

Couldnt rly be Plagueis unless they change up the story. Cuz in legends then Plagueis would be 15 years old at this point, 10 years since Tenebrous got him as his apprentice... so either they change up the story and delay Plagueis's apprenticeship, and make Tenebrous the master... or make Plagueis older and have him as the master... where he got Qimir as the apprentice until he got Sidious...

I get that people are disappointed in the Jedi foursome appearing weak and haven’t done much in the present time but I think that fits into the Roshoman approach to the story that some people thinks that lies ahead in the remaining part of the series. I think the director is presenting the foursome intentionally as broken and already dead in principle. Who they were likely will be presented in the backflash.

We will see him fight in another upcoming flashback episode. The footage is out there.

The “master” is also shown as a profile at one point and you can see kimir’s hair out the back

I think Kiameer is the apprentice and the women witch(I don’t remember her name) that carried the twins is the Sith Lord. That’s why u didn’t see her body in the dead witch scene and why the Sith Lord is using a voice changer.

You do realize that in a show that uses a ton of flashbacks, his fight scene or scenes can still happen???? @ 2:31 Since when was this a 200 million dollar Episode? The entire Show is 180 million! (Credibility gone)!

Not going to judge till the whole season is done

There are more flashbacks coming so we will see a Jedi Wookie fight scene, but I still agree with u. Hopefully we will see more of Indarra fighting too

Next week they will show..they wanted to keep silth scene last for week

Idk we clearly saw a scene where Kelnaca attacks Torbin in one of the teasers

The thing isn't finished yet. He's going to have loads of flashback scenes and we may still get a death scene. Wait for it to finish before jumping to conclusions.

Its quite obvious oh buddy is the sith I mean what a perfect disguise in a time all the sith are supposed to be gone in the Jedi's view.. I mean they couldn't be more blatant about it.. pretty sure he went and killed the wookie when they separated as she was questioning what she was even doing and it was impossible

Let’s make sure it’s the mist boring point in Star Wars history and darth daft punk

I don't think they deleted it. This show is edited in such a way that it confuses everyone. Its out of order and I'm sure we will see the fight scene in a later episode some how 🤦🏻‍♂️

When will we see the scene where Kelnacca fights Sol and the other young jedi, while being cursed by the witches ?!!

That would be awesome fight SO MAD.......

180 Million, i think it was.. Not 200 ; but anyways: there shouldn t be a Limited budget at all !!!

i guess my issue, though, is if he is a sith lord (or even apprentice), wouldn't the jedi have been able to sense him when they were in the shop?

I think the sith should be older then her and off been on the planet when she got "kill" i think the sith is the jedi that took the poison that was not really poison

First 2 episodes was mediocre but last 2 episodes are hilarious 😅

This Show... What in gods name.... Disney needs to be sued for actively destroying a business (Enron got sued on these grounds before so lets start this class action)

8:40 to be fair, Taskmaster was also played by a guy even though the reveal was a woman.

Is it any wonder why most sw fans don't like the acolyte

Disney really dropped the ball with this series it’s quite a disappointment the way this series was done. Could have been so much better. Sell lucasfilm Disney.

Bruh it's so obvious i hope it's not true and it's one of the sisters

They had to delete because Harry and the Hendersons sued for copy right infringement.

you were right!!

Kelnacca was the only reason i was watching the show

This show is so good

It's a flashback he's fighting Torbin

The show has some issues for sure. They probably would’ve had better reactions if they would have just put all the episodes out at once. I do have a problem with some of the editing, but none of you guys will be satisfied until George Lucas jumps back on ship in rewrites, a series or movies. Oh, I was honestly more annoyed with the rise of Skywalker. Can we please at least let the entire thing finish. Every episode people are crapping on the show because there’s too many girls in it. All the crying and complaining is exhausting. People were saying the same thing about Asoka. Which turned out to be way better than expected. The same criticism came from Andor that it wasn’t Star Wars enough and that was the best written and directed show They’ve done since season one/two of The Mandalorian. But of course, people were crying and complaining and crying and complaining like babies.

Episode four was slow paced and just strange to watch, the acting got worse and at the very end Mae just got confusing and the cliffhanger wasn’t even that suspenseful.

Could be quimir but them making it too obvious makes it feel like it could be someone else.

its Coril.

I don’t buy the POV-breaking excuse. Star Wars breaks POV all the time! ANH starts out with the droids POV, we get Vader’s POV, we get Luke’s. It’s a real shame he didn’t get a proper death scene.

But the Sith of the Bane Line make it a point to be in positions of power and influence. Being a drunk seems counterproductive to the Sith Imperative

Jar Jar is alone numerous times on the "Clone Wars" series, and he's still a bumbling moron, even when no one is around to put on a show for. Jar Jar is definitely not a Sith!

What if Kiameer is just Palpatine

Of course they deleted the Jedi Wookie fight scene!! It violated the first and most important rule of Panderverse!! "Put a chick in it and make it lame"!!

Way to disrespect the Wookiee. And for the writer, do you have the slightest idea how easy it is to lie about that?

Best Star Wars series ever

180 million dollars, and they "didnt have the budget" i hate these people more and more every damn day.

wow live action wookie jedi but no action unbelievable smh

yeah thought that straight away in regards to Qimir... its a shame as the show as a whole is absolute garbage. its poorly written and has no structure to it I'm sorry to say, considering it has a massive budget 🤷🏻‍♂️🙄 also its contradicts the events that happened in episode 1... 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️😮‍💨😮‍💨

Wait your surprised incoherent writing contiues

I am disappointed in this whole show. I will probably just skip this show and wait for the next Star Wars show to peek my interest. This is a kid show.

There was literally zero point to his entire story arc.

Deleted all episodes please 😢

Thought they'd find a way to blame Osha for something else she didn't do. This series has been 💩so far. Save us Dave Filoni!

Not everything gets included in a 180 million dollar budget. Smfh

😎🎥📽️🕵️

there is nothing in this POS show that anyone would care about

The acolyte 🤮

Who wants to bet that the bad guy will be a straight white male? Lol and if i remember correctly hes the only straight while male in the show.. Seen a video today of a Disney employee being talking to an undercover journalists where he basically says they openly (within the company) discriminate against white people and that he himself lost out on a promotion because of his skin colour. I would recommemd everybody watch this. The company doing it was called OMG (i think it was O Keefe Media Group). He said they were financially incentivised to hire non white people. Just blatant racism from the company that constantly calls its fans racist Sorry for the rant

Very disappointing

Better suspense this way.

Yeah it won't surprise me if Kynear is the sith but wouldn't surprise me if the sith is a Gungan too... either way it's the only good thing about the show. Hope its a decent reveal. So much potential for this show.. sad they are messing it up with their agenda. I mean how you gonna put a Jedi Wookie in a story and not write a decent fight? Oh yeah forgot it's a male wookie. lol

So far this show is really bad

No the show is straight up trash and can’t story tell nor have any great dueling scenes. This is disappointing and I can’t wait to see everyone who is a fan of the true Star Wars content and walk away

Wokie

what a garbage show. hope the whole show gets canceled and deleted from star wars files

A lot of people in here wouldn't be happy if they were given exactly what they want. And then they have the audacity to call themselves "fans". All this unconstructive criticism is gonna end with Disney shutting down Lucasfilm, and then we all lose.

This entire series has been terrible. nothing more than a high school drama class level acting writing and directing. I'm not even going to bother finishing it. It's too bad they could have really done something good with this.

Be careful I'm killin' subscriptions. I'm sick of whiner channels. His fight scene is in an upcoming flashback scene.
