Didn't you hear? It killed Star Wars
If this killed Star Wars then Star Wars was dead when they released BoBF, Ahsoka or Kenobi
star wars was killed in 1977
Dude looks finished
lmao
But yeah there's a lot more to what happened in the fortress. Mae's fire didn't kill the people upstairs, and I don't think she directly had anything to do with the reactor exploding.
Mae
alright so no bait and switch plot twist then
but yeah i think theres gonna be some other flashback/plot twist where it turns out something bad happened upstairs
that was unrelated to the fire
For sure
(It's the Sith Lord)
Smileo ren
When Osha wakes up on the Jedi ship, in the background Torbin's face is messed up, which we see the scars from when he's an adult. So we've only seen what happened from Osha's direct POV.
plus torbin feels guilt so something (probably an accident) happened
Good eye
bad eye, he lost it
kek
He could've been possessed again too
No no no thats not what they're going to argue about
Get ready for the cope about the conception of the twins
And space lesbians
The salt mines will make crait opulent
characters name is osha
everyone dies in a workplace accident
Add em to the meme folder
Lmaooo
i have heard that he said
witches in star wars don't use the force!! They use green magic!!!!!
It's super obvious that the "fire" is a red herring. Yet all the comments on twitter
"HoW did tHey aLl dIe iN tHe fIrE???"
"TheY weRnt eVen BuRnT!"

Still mid?
Idk
Yeah I'd say it's pretty mid so far
Wtf I was told this episode would kill Star Wars, why tf isn’t it dead yet???
Hahahahahahahahaha
The force is female my ass!!!
Star Wars is destroyed!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This episode was okay but it's my favourite so far
It's stronger than the first two though I noticed quite a few weak points.
This was just a different interpretation of the force
It's still the same
This changes nothing except making a new POV on it
I cannot wait for the trasnphobic/sexist/whatever people to react to this episode.
Ok just watched Theory's review. He's got a point that this goes against what we've known in the past - in a way it does. I just think this show is being overhated. I've enjoyed it so far, despite the controversy surrounding it versus prior Star Wars lore.
me when i find out the force is female
haven’t watched the new ep yet
what would you guys rate it
7 or 6.5 out of 10. It was enjoyable and better than the last episode, but the quality is all over the place still. It wasn't the most noticeable for me, though. Besides the whole force controversy, which you'll understand when you watch it, the episode was fun.
I'd recommend you ignore some of your prior Star Wars knowledge if you really want to go in this with an open mind.
😟
I’d recommend you ignore some of your prior star wars knowledge if you want really want to go in this with an open mind
A quote to be pined
Yeah bro forget everything you know about star wars if you want to enjoy this
So clearly a 7/10
Fucking christ lmao
What prior knowledge is even challenged here even
Whatz try not to fall for and promote outrage culture challenge (impossible)
"outrage culture"
When it dogshit
its dogshit
The writing was awfull from the start and it has nothing to do with outrage culture
It's mid
If I hated myself enough to watch the Kenobi show I could probably list worse episodes
all the shit about the force, or so the fans are trying to tell us
Kenobi, Mando s3 and Book of Boba exist
The Acolyte just released episode 3 and it has been roasted all over the internet by Star Wars fans. I think it's fair to say after The Acolyte episode 3 that this is the worst Disney Star Wars project yet! In this review of The Acolyte episode 3 I go over the many plot holes in this show, as well as details how The Acolyte has literally ignored...
this is an interesting review
lesbian space witches, TCW
LE GOOD
lesbian space witches, acolyte
LE BAD
he talks about how the idea of power corrupts does not work in the Star Wars franchise, yet it has been done before in The Clone Wars
like there's good criticism i.e. bad writing, poor acting, etc, but criticisms such as this are embarrassing
even in Disney Star Wars it has been done before and actually worked
lmao
not the too dark complaint again
also
Star Wars fans don't be sexist challenge: impossible
however you format that thing
agreed
bro thinks he’s that guy
wherever did he go
rebels bad fella
were the night sisters lesbians?

First of all, calling it dogshit is literally being outraged. Second, it's mid, not amazing but not terrible
There has been way worse SW and you agreeing with the Forbes guy saying it's the worst thing ever is clearly disingenuous
me when i have my own opinion
if you compare it to others star wars tv. Yeah its mid. If you compare to the global tv show history. Yeah its dogshit. Especially coming from such a big production
Calling it the worst SW ever, yeah that's being outraged
it is not looking good
Yeah well on that you are right. Medias gotta get clicks
Maybe try watching it then forming an opinion
too hard

im watching it for Sol
^
do it for him
i have no opinion on it yet of course
but from what reviews have been posted
and what bro said about “forget what you know about sw when you watch ep 3”
yeah
hesitant
oh well
That ended up being a load of waffle
i see
It's almost like SW fans make shit up to fuel the hate train
This isn't anything new
Everyone should've stopped taking internet opinions seriously when they started making fire in space a problem
Anyway imma talk about the actual episode for a bit. The whole conflict with "Jedi are giving my village no choice!" is non-existent. They literally had a choice all along to not allow their kids to go with the Jedi
You could argue that the witches were meant to be portrayed as dumbasses, but that doesn't introduce any moral complexity regarding Jedi taking children into the plot.....it's just them being dumbasses
yeah whoever thinks that the jedi were bad in that episode is an idiot
They don't like the jedi and they didn't want the jedi finding out how the twins were created
I can get that because the jedi acted pretty fucking stupid too lol.
"Republic law states that you can't train Force sensitive children by yourself 🤓 ☝️"
"We're not in the Republic."
"Uhm uhhh well you're still hiding kids!!!"
yeah the jedi cant really take them forcefully because of that
plus its very much "we need to keep an eye on force sensitive cults" because of the dark side etc
Would've benefitted from some scenes from the Jedi POV ig
keeps the mystery
Also isn't kelnacca or whatever confirmed for next episode?
probably
Wookiee jedi in action 
wookies wearing clothes
||I can't wait for the kelnacca and torbin fight||
Spoiler for future episodes
But its in the trailers
So
REAL mf jedi, not that goodie two shoes bullshit!!!
Uhhh what
I cannot fathom how many stupid angles you have to take just for that to make sense
Glad to see the rumours about chosen one was horse shit too
As they always are
guys
It's just some witch mumbo jumbo
use the thread
May the thread be with you
Also i think we can all agree that mae was evil mind tricked or something to cause the fire but the scene felt weird
I hate threads!!!
no
she’s just a bitch
wait if you make a thread with the force, but then you become one of these witches after the fact...
Or maybe mae is just a bitch idk
But then mae is like trying to reunite with osha like a minute later so
Maybe she's stupud...
Power of all right? She probably got some yank from the dark side. I heard voices from the abyss lookin ahh
Plus Mae for some reason thinks osha killed their mother or had some part to play in this
So clearly they're leaving that dangling for pondering
makes sense right
Brudda it's a mystery show
Making proxy canon but not starkiller would be really funny
Also in the final scene of the episode torbin has his scar
If you're dumb yea
the evil mastermind
Darth jar jar broke free of his Lego multiversal prison and has now made himself canon (palpatine in 9 is a Darth jar jar clone, star wars is literally saved)
This episode was kinda weird but i liked episode 1 and 2 alot
i’m hoping it’s weird because we’re missing details, but even then, it just feels offs to me and i can’t place why
Episode 3 is like a 5/10 and the others are an 8 or 7/10 or something
Ah yes the famous Acolyte criticism
Toi many women (woke)
"idk why I hate it"
mae setting a book on fire obviously doesn’t lead to an entire coven burning down and every single one of its witches dying, so time will tell
The reactor was sabotaged
Mystery doesn't work if you're dumb dumb
They literally pointed that out
Fr
Earlier in the episode
Multiple plot points
i saw it mate
With a blindfold on
Doesn't change that Mae still tried to kill Osha specifically
The fire is the most obvious red herring ever
The voices made her do it!
Which led to a weird scene being set up that looks like she was under control...
And then changed her mind after the reactor went crazy
Based on maes reaction in episode 2 i doubt she did it on her own will
Or she was influenced atleast
I think it's just gonna be escalation
Only OSHA was de-escalating
Now she's jailed
At least thats why the jedi started attacking I bet
The sith was probably watching the group at the same time the jedi were
And wanted to train osha and mae so they sabotaged the reactor
Mother would never believe Mae tried to set fire to osha. She'd insta blame the jedi
That sounds like an option
i was thinking it could have been jedi way before accusing the sith
The squid game guy is on fucking fire with his English and acting tho. Bro absolutely nails "holy shit this kid is a treasure and deserves love but I really can't get attached cuz jedi"
He still asks for permission for her to be trained after she's been rescued. It's peak
Zabrak lady is probably gonna be important
Also that really old lady is probably gonna show up again...
||torbin probably gets possessed and kelnacca fights him||
||torbin showing regret in episode 2 makes me think he messed up somehow but it would make sense because they already showed him being possessed||
||and it could explain why kelnacca basically exiled himself after because he hurt torbin and regretted it||
||we know kelnacca and torbin fight during the time of episode 3 but we don't know why||
Bro probably beat him in a sabacc game.....
Reasonable
Tbf he's asking if she wants to be HIS padawan but it's still peak for the same sentiment
Nop3
They tried
With stuff like the Forbes article
#1138730533652811786 message
They made star wars woke by having women
absolute snoozefest of an episode
Absolute snoozefest of an opinion
What
Tf you mean for no reason
How else she gonna train in the force without the jedi
whats the point like
Actual clown
"I'm a bad faith grifter with the nickname whatz"
jesus christ lmao
Fr
Seriously , you find it interesting ?
Decently so yea
alright
Sets up great intrigue for further episodes
At least it's not nightsisters again.
Great character moments
More of jedi wanting to be attached but not allowing themselves pls
That guy smashed that role
but it is , in some way
im more interested in that band of jedi
more than that boring ass witches plot
Yes it's something different to the usual Jedi/Sith shtick
Yeah how dare they set up the origins of how there's a dark side force user in the high republic era where there's 0 sith
Hang them tbh
🤨
What did they do so far
He'd be complaining if they didn't explain it too
I just hope that sith or whatever delivers
set up the origins
with witches !
This is what you thought of in the shower?
WHAT THINGS I AM GOING INSANE
i kinda understand where you’re coming from but at the same time i really don’t, try and imagine it from my perspective, i’m not exactly thrilled or on edge with the 3 episodes we have now but i’m not dreading the rest of the season either, it’s more sw content, as a fan you should be generally happy that you’re getting more shit to watch, even if it’s not EXACTLY what you expected, did you really think it was going to be an all out sith vs jedi battle from the very start? what we currently know is that the jedi are at their very strongest, but right around this current timeline (i think) there are a few powerful sith lurking around, give it time
so eager to hate
i didn’t exactly like s3 but that doesn’t mean i dislike it either, it’s setting shit up
perhaps it’ll lead to actual steaming dogshit, perhaps it’ll be kino
i’m a bit of a pessimist so i’m not expecting much, but i also get giddy when it’s something i genuinely find interesting, feats, features (i am an occasional cameo enjoyer everyone in here can cry about it) and plenty more i can’t be bothered to type out
did he elaborate?
or was it the vibe of the show he didn’t like
i confused the high republic with the old republic, there’s apparently no known sith during this era, which means whichever sith they decide to introduce will technically be the oldest sith we know of
if that’s not something to look forward to idk what is
People are struggling to grasp the concept of a mystery thriller, if they gave up the entire plot straight away then what would be the point
"I'm adding to Harvey Weinstein's list of crimes the fact that he gave Leslye Headland a career."
Brutal, but godlike comment

Yeah maybe i'm setting the bar too high but again thats what i'm expecting from a multi-billions company. Im sorry but that witch plot is freaking weak and uninteresting. And I literally don't care about Sith/Jedi, I like SW for all of its content when it's good and original.
And yeah I don't care about having "new things" to watch if they are dogshit. This shit remind me of True Detective s4 trying so hard to match the energy of s1 but badly. Otherwise the jedi are great, Sol is probably the best thing, and I hope the "sith" delivers.
Look at Andor, they brought back Imperial meeting scenes but with a new approach, showcasing the inner working of hierachy and group work. Honestly that was great and interesting, while being perfected by decent actors like Dedra and Partagas.
They never elaborate
It's always "the writing is dogshit" or "it just felt off" or "the show isn't interesting but I can't explain why"
The prison scene in episode 1 is a good example
of bad writing
Why it is so hard to accept ?
It's either that or you dont watch a lot of good tv
and thats okay
Because it's meaningless, you're not explaining why, you're just saying random shit
They put under sleep some angry dude but didnt restraint the dude with a large tentacle on his head
she refuse to be freed to then struggle to free herself
like
this two thing
wtf
It's like you have the memory of a goldfish. Your downloaded internet takes must have file priority over any new information
I already explained why they could've done that
You're being silly again, I never claimed it was peak
More evidence why SW fans are incapable of seeing the middle of the spectrum
Well. It's hard to take this show seriously when Shogun came out like 2 month ago. The difference in quality is embarassing
I know its star wars
but yet , they could make an effort
This feels like arguing in bad faith. I agree more of an effort could be made writing-wise but it's not like they're NOT making ANY effort
Again, it's mid
No no you right
It's just that, after the dathomir witches, i was expecting something fresh on the witches take
We'll see in the next episodes how it goes
There are differences in the behaviour of these witches and the dathomir witches, we don't know the history of them. They could be an evolutionary offshoot from dathomorian exocolonists, or just something else entirely which on the surface looks very similar
I'm just glad it's a Force sect that isn't Jedi or Sith
Yeah i agree with that
Could they have gone for more unique and established Force sects like the Zeison Sha or the Matukai? Yes
hahah
yeah
Remind me of the Bando Gora from BH
Witches again like ?
They could have go with any kind of force sects
I can understand wanting to do your own thing....but that sorta requires fleshing out the new thing
Hopefully that happens in future episodes
They've already established magick as a concept tho, why waste it? The interesting part is how they're all witches yet believe vastly different things, view the force differently and have different ways of connecting to and using the force
See tbf tho I see the potential in what you're saying, because I'm imagining a sect similar to Chirrut or something and how that could also bring compelling ways to explore that similar concept
I tend not to call a mystery show shit by episode 3 when they're still setting things up tho.. lol
I wasn't 100% certain about that
use the thread luke
L pacing
Im pretty sure Mae was being controlled its the only thought because any other outcome would be weird knowing she's as confused as osha
the pacing is slow but I also believe they want us to understand that there are multiple ways of using the force and people are mad about that instead of trying to understand where the story is going
I didn't particularly like this episode but alot of the complaints being "It doesn't make no sense!!!!"
Like
Yeah no shit it's a mystery show
FORREAL
its a murder mystery
the first two episodes were about Mae getting her revenge... ok, we got the flashback in ep 3 and mae doesnt know whats happening during the fire
this only gives us the concept that she was controlled by the darkside of the force...
Who ever this darkside user is clearly framed the jedi for the murder of the witches and has Mae on a killing spree due to the fact she was surprised her sister was alive in ep 2
thats funny because as im thinking now this makes all perfect sense they fell at the same time of the fire but Osha was saved on screen while off screen someone clearly did save Mae... Jedi are framed and someone clearly doesnt like the good guys so of course there is a sith in the High republic era its literally after the old republic of star wars 😂
Copy and pasted Eternal twins from the old republic but downgraded
I really hope the KOTOR remake will come out someday
it's a game I'd really want to play, mostly because of the story, but I'm not really a fan of the gameplay
I've heard that the gameplay might be different or updated
otherwise, I hope KOTOR returns in some form someday
not saying I wouldn't mind just an updated version of the original gameplay
The Youtube grifters have begun
Honestly this is th most divided the fan base has EVER been it's seems
The most divided? I doubt it. The most mask off? Maybe.
TLJ was way bigger imo

The fandom has never recovered since then
The fanbase is just as divided as before it's just that they're whingeing a lot more about it
Probably because the director is an easy target and not our lord and saviour Filoni
yeah Filoni knows exactly what he's doing the fanbase clearly thinks theyre so smart lmao
turns out filoni helped with the acolyte, article came out today
Nothing has contradicted it yet
Wtf I hate acolyte now???
Dave filoni when he isn't allowed to add ahsoka to acylote
They’re going to take one scene they liked and say Filoni did it
Or they’re going to retroactively think a thing is good after they already shit on it
I wonder if this video will be good
i wonder if the sith will be unmasked this season
in fact i wonder if the show will even get another season
i wish
But all those make sense because there's um uh
Uhhh
Oxygen in the ships!!!
Th-th-that's just the fuel from inside the ships!!!
(Because fuel is definitely always kept on the bridge/viewport of a star destroyer)
That is awesome
5 left
Just 5?
Gaslighter
none of the timeframes make sense
filoni wasnt CCO til last year
acolyte was written years ago
he didnt get his movie til last year too
Why
Filonius

The last one literally disproves that criticism. It's almost the exact same situation.
They’re review bombing the wrong movie lmao
Summarised perfectly by the second review
Jesus christ
I have yet to see someone critique this show without saying it’s woke outside of this server oddly enough
How embarrassing
Indeed
This is the greatest educational acolyte review of All Time
Merch https://moistglobal.com/
Comics https://badegg.co/
Get Gamer Supps https://gamersupps.gg/?ref=moist
Enjoy decently moderated criticisms
With admitting to good parts
It's not perfect but he actually went further than "writing bad" lol
The more the video goes on, the more he falls in to the clichés lol
Also I'm getting sick and tired of surface level Andy's thinking the twins are like anakins conception. My brother in Christ, NOBODY created Anakin. The force willed him in to existence. The twins were a FORCED conception, in more meanings than one. It's like comparing a miracle baby to a test tube baby
Apparently the chant scene is almost as bad as the vespa scene 🗿
Matriarchical Witches: TCW
vs
Matriarchical Witches: Acolyte
TCW gets a free pass all the time from fans
more than the OT
For realises
It blows my mind people that haven't watched since BOBF or Andor are willing to just destroy acolyte over things star wars has been doing for like a decade now
Sure it's not amazing writing, but it's nowhere fucking near the worst thing Disney star wars has made
Reddit hivemind
Shame the entire internet is in on it now despite only half of them actually watching it, and half of those actually paying attention
Wdym tho my opinion is complete accurate with zero flaws despite being based from 3 episodes of a fucking mystery show
r/dankmemes
This shows plot makes no sense!
all episodes dropping at once brainrot has ruined tv discussion
WTF THE MYSTERY SHOW SET UP A MYSTERY ABOUT HOW PEOPLE DIED, OBVIOUSLY IT WASN'T MAE, DOGSHIT WRITING
i saw someone complain that the show was unrealistic because the fire wouldn't actually kill all of them
like yeah
cause it didnt
Honestly the most valid criticism I've heard is that the initial fire wouldn't engulf that fast because stone building lol
But then right after that they cry about the whole place being in fire
Like bro nobody said that one fire caused it all
You're assuming that in a MYSTERY SHOW!!!!1
filoni fans shitting on the acolyte then its revealed that filoni helped work on the acolyte
I hate on Filoni haters but I would pay real money to watch that
It would be so fucking funny
and the best thing is theres nothing that they can try to cope or excuse it with
hes CCO now
hell i think even mauler made a good point about it
no wait, wires crossed
Unlike the Ahsoka show, where people only remember a Darth Vader key jangle, The Acolyte will be remembered as one of the worst additions to Star Wars.
Interesting to know it was guided by Dave Filoni, Chief Creative Officer of Lucasfilm...
A bright future, indeed.
@mint orbit read the comments if you wanna see some cope and seethe
daddy filoni
people are unironically blaming filonis wife
"shes a satanist! shes to blame for why hes bad!"
literally ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING is to blame instead of just admitting hes shit
Holy hell
the women is possessing him
with her woke powers!!!!
i've heard that she ghostwrites everything thats why hes bad now
Ngl this is exactly why the star warsy stuff makes sense
And why non star wars fans are being regarded
The issue also is both side are getting even more extreme
both arguments fall on deaf ears
Honestly valid
The reaction to this show has solidified my exodus from the fandom, it’s not perfect no, and episode 3 was very middling, maybe even below mid but jesus christ we’re 3 episodes in and people are treating this show like it’s the start of nuclear winter
Mfs really out here calling it worse than the sequels or book of Boba Fett....
Their stupidity is hypnotising
Was it good ?
If acolyte is the worst star wars media ever made, isn't it automatically better?
Clearly flawless fandom menace logic
ok continuing from the star wars channel moving here lol. My main worry is that by the end, the point is gonna be that ||Palpatine and Plageus did their research and work for the perfect force being because these uninteresting characters "did it first." Which would suck because it would A: undermine Anakin's conception by the force and B: also be hypocritical since this whole time the main msg has been that new star wars isnt gonna be about the skywalkers anymore and we're moving into new territory||
it's not anywhere near that bad
Fax
what? im not outraged lol
i said im worried
after episode 3 it kinda seems to be veering in that general direction so we'll see
i would love to be worrying for nothing in the end. that would be awesome\
You fed in to your own worry by the looks of it. Everything after "which would suck because-" is definitely starting to sound like being pre outraged
I also have zero idea why anybody thinks this undermines or conflicts with anakins birth whatsoever
Anakin was a complete miracle child. These twins were forcefully created somehow.
maybe you're right on the first sentence, i can own that. but i promise im not outraged lol. i even started this by saying i was just disappointed
I know you're not right now, I didn't mean to imply that
My bad
We shall have to see what they do with it. I'm enjoying the set up and intrude each episode adds so far
its all good. 🙂 , my only hope is that we get a spin off about Jedi Master Trinity lol
i might be alone in this but that fight scene had me on the edge of my fucking seat. it jumped up to my top 3 star wars fights easy
It was amazing to see she's still got it for stunt work lol
That's the best "stair jump" I've ever seen ngl
Fr
Hoping for many more great martial arts scenes
Definitely the highlight of the show
im not sure why people are so upset about the coven though tbh. there's so many different force religion offshoots, why cant there be more?
there's one i forget the name of that manifests its force powers as orange flames! why is this a problem lol??
Me neither. Seeing the chant scene being called almost as bad as the vespa scene was a crazy take
They've clearly been setting up magick more and more. Why is this one suddenly so offensive?
i mean, the only thing i can think of is the gay thing sad to say. i was watching this stream on youtube of people discussing it and little by little i started noticing they were SUPER hung up on the witch thing lol. then i felt super dumb cause turns out it was a super christian star wars channel i had no idea existed. Echo Base or something?
then suddenly i was like "OHHHH THATS WHY they wont let the gay witch thing go!!" XDDD
Ehhh, I checked a couple opinions that challenged mine and it seems to be that the chant is low quality writing (I mean it could be better than power of one, power of two, power of many but also.. it doesn't need to be) and the complaint about "we don't use the thread as a weapon" despite threatening to make a jedi lose his literal mind in a later scene
There's unfortunately plenty of "anti woke" clowns though as always
the thread thing was actually kinda cool to me!
i love them expanding the politics and religious aspects of star wars
i just want some better writing and less squandering of amazing actors like Carrie ann moss
I agree, new perspectives are key to star wars moving forward imo. We've explored what we know so much, that the best way to expand is to see it through a different lens
If they wanna make lots of slop, at least make it worthwhile slop
She's still in the show tho lol
Just not present day
yea but its flashbacks
And?
it sucks that theres no future for such an amazing character lol
Okay TRUE
I think it's mostly because of her actions though, we haven't got enough about her character yet really
We'll learn a lot more soon I reckon because they're about to start unveiling what happened to start a fight
aalso true. im just being petty about the jedi matrix fighting if im being honest lmao
i want more
yea i hope so. i think that with the level of "shit eating grin" on the showrunners and actors demeanors in interviews, there is some good shit coming as the story unfolds. at least i hope so. because they're giving off big "im about to shut you TF up" energy lol
Same here
Though I can't help engaging in any stuff on YT and whatever
Low quality writing is one of the valid complaints about this show
Acolyte is standard quality for SW but people have the same right to ask for higher quality writing than the fans do for enjoying it or critics do for critiquing it
It's mainly all about expressing the opinion - "the dialogue felt weak at times" versus "this is absolute dogshit"
I haven't seen the Star Wars community so united since Mando 2 finale. This is wild.
The power of one. The power of many.
I concur. Still not the worst star wars media ever made like some clowns are saying
Wanting more is fine. Calling it utter dogshit and refusing to elaborate is not.
Literal hard evidence bro is in an echo chamber
Didn't he cry during the mando 2 finale
look he said that the nightsisters dont use the force so should we really consider his opinion?
Who, SWT?
yea
does he even watch star wars
probably not
Master Kol Lesteraul
Sheev Talks has said this too 💀
i got banned from his discord lol
what did u do lol
Yeah 100% the dialogue can be quite cheesy
Although I thought it was less cheesey this episode
There was no combat so maybe that's why people didn't like it
I thought it was quite an emotional episode
Nah it's the witches and the twins conception that's driving people insane
But that's cool
You get it
Ruined the chosen one!!!!!
Ignoring that the twins were created by two people using the force and anakin was created by the force (or maybe palpatine depending on who you believe)
SWT didn't say night sisters weren't using the force, he believed they used magic and the force but then during a stream his friend proved him wrong that the force and sorcery are in fact the same and he conceded
said i didnt like miles morales and explained why
the lead admin banned me for "racism"
Now I've gotta know why
i just explained that i didnt like miles because hes kinda forced and copies peters stories
bascially anything ive said about him here
Wtf that's extremely reasonable lmao
I've never seen you say anything remotely racist about him as of yet
Wait that gave me a flashback
kek I dont think Ive seen the original
I thibk miles would work better if he already knew Peter before spider man 1 or didn't get his powers in the very first game
Meeting miles and him getting powers in a few hours of gameplay is kinda silly
I do like miles alot though
His game is fun
I mean tbf memesoon and I were discussing the entirety of the character
I actually really like how the games did it. Felt like a slower burn of spider verses arc
Got to explore that mentor role for a bit which was awesome for a spider person because naturally Peter had to live for years with no figure helping him or understanding him
Oh for fuck sake
This clown ass community
But audience score doesn't matter
Didn't you forget
(Tros doesn't count)
Wait no i messednup the joke
you're forgetting powertripping discord admin+criticising something they like
Implying RT scores actually even matter 😭
Review bombing is just pathetic
Always will be
Me making excuses to actually watch the movie and form my own opinion
Lmao
need the "we're independent thinkers!" clip with some annotation about people review bombing the acolyte on it
Review bombing is so immature. I don't like acolyte but by no means is it a 1/10
People when the force can let you reproduce asexually
WOKE!
I just dunno why you'd want two more of yourself running around
One of me is already too much at times I can't imagine 3 of me
My daughter just ran up to me and dropped the F bomb so now I can't swear 😂. One is definitely enough lol
Yeah like honestly.. surprised it hasn't been the focus of a story sooner
Using the force to conceive a kid in a place absent of males seems like it'd be a thing at least one niche force faction does
Cloning is about as outlandish, just with tech instead of magic
HAHAHA no way, me as well not too long ago. I'm Irish so it's part of my language wtf am I gonna do 💀
Yeah
I imagine in star wars the reason cloning isn't a big thing is because the force complicates the process a lot
Yes
Cloning has been mastered
If they have sensitivity. They decay
Nobody could work out the equation
The kaminoans only achieved it once it seems and so far she's barely showing signs lol
I'd wager that the witches used the force to kinda just... create genetic code. otherwise the twins would have zabrak horns and two hearts each
TROS, TFA, Andor, RO, Ahsoka, Rebels all have higher audience scores than ROTS
guess that means they'll have to admit all of that Disney content is just better now

"PAID BOTS! SHILLS! LIES! DECEPTIONS!"
Oh god do you know what this reminded me of?
dammit lol, why does it only show the link?
#level-bot-info
ah ok thanks lol

Too woke honestly
Do I want to 😭
I remember watching a reaction video nor long after the episode came out and there were loads of people getting emotional.
Yesn't
Agreed 100% on all of this

You lost me at reaction videos
Yeah the mother interactions were really well done I think. The way she was adamant on it not happening, but when she sees it cause turmoil to Mae.. she becomes open to it and loving and supporting
Ok?
A criticism I agree with from one of the annoying fans is that the show couldn't decide whether the Jedi or witches were bad in this episode.
That was annoying
I hope the negative reactions show Disney that they really need to rethink their strategy about making these shows.
Whaaaat
That's literally the point
It's a weekly released mystery show for a reason
You're not meant to know or form a true opinion until you've seen the entire story. It's a common literary device to dangle said carrot in front of the audience and make them want to see the full picture
Nuh uh we SW fans can only see in black and white!!!
We need a bad guy to hate and a good guy to root for!!!
The whole point of the high republic era is that it's all nuanced and character driven Vs the war times of PT 😭 why waste that on good v bad
I mean the Jedi are still pretty clearly the "good guys" universally but there is room for nuance in this era when the only major threat to them is themselves
Until we see the Nihil on-screen anyway
Oh wait the Nihil should be gone by now......
No you don't
Yeah I quite liked it
Whatre the current opinions on the show?
It is definitely one of the shows of all time
Its def very interesting
Idk how I feel abt it yet
Honestly not a fan of how they did the twin thing with like them being on screen at the same time in the “16 years ago” thing bc i could never tell who was who until the mark
What, they look nothing alike tho
I thought it was an issue because twins weren't twins lmao
Extremely divisive ngl
Kinda crazy to watch
Really? I thought they did
The only diff was their clothes
When they're adults, sure
I like the shows (i cant think of an example) where its like
As kids, it was jarring how different they looked
This character is always on the left, this chsracter is always on right
I literally have no idea which is which because they did that lol
They always had it so u knew who was who based on who was standing on which side
I thought the young twins looked super similar
And I was always like “ahhh which is which”
Its a super interesting storyline though, idk how i feel abt it yet
Yeahh imma wait for my final opinion. Rn it has potential to be anywhere from a 6-8 for me depending on the future of the season
Seems so yeah, did you watch Tales of the Empire?
Uhh yeah
Star wars seems to be answering "what would the force look like in the bum fuck of nowhere with nothing to sway their view"
It's pretty cool ngl
Hence why they call it thread
No men or mfs around
The force?
Yup
I can actually see that ngl
When they were doing the stuff with their hands lol
I was waiting for the light magic stuff to just pop up
And the taking over the Jedi's mind seems quite Dr strange too lol
Yeeeee
I just pray this isn't a mystery show that builds intrigue until it flops at the finish line
Too many of those in recent years imo
Yeah, Im torn atm
The amount of hate for an alright show is crazy
Not a big fan of how theyre just throwing in characters
Review bombing😭
Literally. It's so much more innovative and creative than Ahsoka too
What a fucking waste
I want more info on them not just “heres a jedi”
Acylote doesn't have anakin flashback though...
“Put on ur robes” MAAM HES CLEANING THEM
0/10
For sure. It needs to be next episode that reveals more info or people are gonna be snoring by the time they're told imo
I mean tbf she alluded that Jord is.. jord. His earrings screams fuck boy to me lol
Don't forget jedi can have relations
Not attachments
I bet jord abuses that
Lol i need to look at his earrings now
HOTD and the boys have released too right?
I need to watch that boys show
HOTD I'm watching tonight
Idr the name
First 3 seasons are seriously sexy TV imo
I mean like
The other show that u need to watch
To see the new season
HOTD?
THE ACYLOTR ALMOST HAS MORE REVIEWS THEN ALL 4 BOYS SEASONS COMBINED 😭
The boys has 11k
Gen V
Season 1 has 5k season 2 and 3 have 2.5k and season 4 has 1k
Everyone said u need to see it before the new season
Yup the casuals are doing it too now. Great. Charlie made a video and Forbes made an article
Star wars is so joever (I'm insane)
I've not seen anyone say that and I've been in spoiler conversations all week
Just remember the audience score is all that matters
Besides tros
That doesn't count
Idk ig theres characters from it
It's my favourite to show these clowns the TLJ scores
Not yet
🤷♂️
Will be but not as of yet
Yeah i just need to get the time to watch it
Luckily Im still dying and my work wont let me work
For sure. It's a car crash you can't stop screaming and laughing and cringing and-
Ive been sitting in a parking lot for 2 hours waiting for them to say yes or no
When is new acolyte anyway
New episode? Lemme looko
Tommorow
New episodes of The Acolyte are released on Disney+ at 9 p.m. ET/ 6 p.m. PT on Tuesdays.
Are they using bots to review bomb😭
Or has the mob awoken
It's bots
The bots have been targeting other films that have "Acolyte" in them
It's funny
SW fans are so fucking bizarre man, holy shit
LMFAO
The only subreddit I've seen be reasonable is r/highrepublic
What do you guys think of the fight club fan theory? that they aren't twins and it's just one chick with hallucinations?
Nah osha would just need to somehow kill jedi while on an completely different planet
look, we got sorcery making magic force babies but the possibility of a teleporting manchurian candidate type deal is too much lol?
i just saw it on screenrant and thought i'd toss it out there lol
Also Luke projected himself across a galaxy so I'm willing to suspend my disbelief for just about anything lol
Osha is literally with the jedi when mae is killing torbin
How is that relevant tho
That makes like.. perfect sense lol
Teleportation isn't even an established power to that degree.
My point was just that it's science fantasy so going "that's ridiculous" is only so helpful because anything can happen. Star wars has had stranger things happen than that lol
I'm not saying I subscribe to the fan theory lol, I'm just trying to be open minded because they did say this show would "change star wars forever" or whatever. So who knows? 🤷. Legends saw a lady essentially take a magical bath and become an immortal force thing XDDD
Teleportation does seem a little crazy, how come palpatine could never accomplish something like that
Even mother talzin could only conjure intangibility
Not that I'm aware of (which is dumb but whatever)
He probably could but there was no need for it
Teleporting across the galaxy isn't a thing unless it's dyad shenanigans
Oh right the Dyad shit
Osha is just Darth Jadus reborn obviously

i just got back into SWTOR lol
welcome back brother 
i had to start over cause my characters are all at the cap and its boring
tbh, it was my reaction to the acolyte lol. i figured i could dislike the show in private (mostly) and not make it other people's problem XD
i wanted some sweet sweet old republic to distract me
i hate to mention it but according to sam maggs (yes that one) nightsisters cant teleport, merrin just goes invisible and runs really fast
she claims that lucasfilm told her that, but the games clearly suggest otherwise
Sam Maggs wrote a story between the games tho
Power development exists
And is not always on screen
Wait so teleportation is a thing
yea
apparently they can also do force contraception in stories of light and dark but idk as i dont own the book
....oh
Idk you could probably suspend disbelief on that one. Maybe I'm way off base because I can't picture the scene
the scene where she teleports into the water to save cal from vader
at the very end
and assumedly, teleports them all back to the ship
Force...contraception?
whatever the witches did in acolyte
That's conception
Force contraception just sounds like something I'd get Ventress to use
Is that a five nights at Freddy's reference
Ong
Help 😭
The part where I'm dyslexic it seems
It's contraception not contraption
Force contraption could be like
The spring locks
schizophrenia
So far so bad
What episode you on?
The next one is tonight at midnight right?
Oh nvm just saw it's like middle of the day
To be fair about the teleporting thing, people becoming pregnant via force shenanigans isn’t unprecedented, teleporting isn’t really a thing we’ve seen before
Isn't there teleportation in the tales of the empire
💀
Not that I remember
There is the leader of the mountain clan used it
I figured if it was anyone, it was her
I think that's enough scenarios in canon to say it's pretty possible tbh
where was there teleporting in The Acolyte
None, just this guy waffling
That's stupid. We've literally seen both individuals. There's at least one scene in episode two that clearly disproves it, that being when Yord follows Osha.
Unless he is lying, there's absolutely no way she could've killed the Jedi Master.
It's a very dumb theory
definitely
One could even say, it's a Star Wars Theory
Explains why it doesn't make sense
Hey dummy maybe research before you go posting Star Wars lore like that
Ok bro sorry
I fixed Star Wars Acolyte by using the power of maannnyyyyyy chant and turning it into an EPIC rave.
im not watching this
oh hey a cerean
39 seconds · Clipped by TheKhannunisT · Original video "The Acolyte - Episode 4 Watch Party.." by Star Wars Theory
that was a waste of an episode, hardly anything happened and there's only like what? 3-4 more left?
inventing nitpicks to make up nitpicks
plus like its clear hes descending from something
Flying is a quite strong word for slowing down a fall lol
or a glide at best
not quite sure how Theory thinks the jedi dont take fall damage
theory when mace windu does the same thing to survive his fall
Also, "a flying Sith, never seen that before"
I'm convinced bro has never actually consumed any content related to the EU
bro hes barely consumed anything thats not on tv in canon either
IM OFFICIALLY DONE DEFENDING THIS SHOW
alroght lets hear you out
34 minutes for what nothing happened 💀
the plot moved along idk what you mean
I will say theory is right about the online talking heads, so to speak, mainly focusing on the bigoted minority of critiques so they can ignore the ones that are valid. Like the writing, pacing, acting, etc
Not a single bit of plot moved lmao
it did?
the episode started with "we need to catch mae" and they caught up with her
False. Smilo Ren clearly descended from the sky so he moved 😂
I defended Episode 3 because that moved the plot but really nothing happened this week LOL
it did but okay
??? Nothing happened?
what happened
if you want an episode that doesnt move the plot along in pretty much any way, look no further than ahsoka episode 5
Did u miss the part where the antagonist abandoned their mission and decided to go against their master? Or the part where the jedi find the dark side adept they were looking for/trying to fight?
I'm confused
NoThiNG haPPeNeD
there's no way you didnt catch on that qimir wasnt the sith
iterally everybody did by episode 2
that twist is so overly used
who said he was?
exactly so what moved the plot... we all knew or most did know that Mae was gonna be conflicted and leave from her task
Yea some things did happen, i don't agree with them, but it was one of those blue ball episodes where you get a tiny taste and nothin to hang onto till the next episode. We got some little baby steps of stuff moving
we did? You mean you predicted a plot point, and it happened. That doesn't mean nothing happened.
thats not plot moving that was bound to happen 😭
Or rather you saw a trailer and what happened in the trailer happened lol
"nothing happened" bros when i point out an episode of another show where basically nothing happened outside of clone wars memberberries
