#The Acolyte Spoilers

just because you didn't like where the plot went. Doesn't mean the plot isnt moving lol
plus theres still half the show to go
who says mae doesnt turn again out of fear of smilo ren
smilo ren lmao
The bipolar-ness of her lol
didnt know we were talking about quinlan vos
he's gonna do the good ol fasion ninja disappear on them
nahhhh
his grandfather
he was seething the whole episode lol
invents reason to get mad at it and then gets mad
i wonder if the smilo ren dude is actually a sith
I mean, if he is... that does some weird shit, especially of any of the main cast survives and just... doesnt tell anyone that the Sith are still out there
maybe he is just a dark jedi?
i guess it's happened before...
1v7 gonna be peak...
bet it's not gonna happen too early in the season lmao
ngl im so mad about this
i wanted to see the duel!!! but no! cliffhanger!
anyway, I feel like I enjoyed this episode a lot more than last week's
yea
this is a somewhat better way of subverting expectations than last time
felt a lot more natural and not like... chucking away the saber immediately upon recieving it
yeah because it was a flashback... I'd be pretty surprise if someone like a whole episode dedicated to a flashback
wasnt talking to you
use reply function
thats not luke!!!!! thats jake!!!1!
"who would like an episode dedicated to a flashback"
or just maybe if it doesnt apply to your message dont get technical and say anything lol π
THE WORST KINDA EPISODE π
i like to follow conversations and context to messages
it is frustrating to see something seemingly unrelated and not being elaborated
it's a good thing some scenes were present day that episode lol
yeah, people were definitely praising the present day scenes in that episode for sure lol
π
werent people whining about jacen's whole shtick
probably because it took valuable screentime away from anakin
to better understand the concept lol not just start a episode about a flashback with no context
the transitions to the next flashback help the watcher
anyway i expect the show will end with osha and mae teaming up to defeat smilo ren with one dying in the process
the power of one, the power of two etc etc
if you're riffing on it purely because of the "whole episode's a flashback" thing you need to work on your priorities tbh
focus on narrative issues. the flashback episode gave pretty important context to Osha's view of her past
what are you on about bruh
could go either way. mae dies to redeem herself and save osha... or osha dies to save mae so she can redeem herself
were talking about the ahsoka flashback transitioning from present day to flashback π
dawg read the room, no one here is taking you seriously
ahsoka flashbacks make no sense
what are they there for?
pad out episode time 
idc if they are or not I was talking about the transition from flashback to present day
You need a transition to figure out if you're in present day or a flashback?
the literal start of the episode says "16 years ago" in bold letters on the screen
man live action ahsoka sucks
well thats the point its starts off as a flashback and thats what people didnt like
doubt
yeah 
cosplayers did a better job
rosario really wasnt the right pick at all
Rosario imo has got the looks, but thats about it lol. If I'm gonna be super charitable, maybe they were directing her to act a certain way, but she definitely lacks the choreography
honestly i'd have cast ashley, disney has the money to train her in fight choreography
indeed
I think my Rosario blackpill moment was realizing while watching Morgan fight in the Ahsoka series was that the fight between Morgan and Ahsoka in Mandalorian S2 wasn't slow and stiff because of Morgan's actress, but because of Rosario's lmaoo
they got Mikkelsen in for Thrawn
plus ashley even cosplayed ahsoka once (it was okay)
though lars already did live action stuff and didn't actually do any action as thrawn
nah, it wasn't

It was just a fun low budget cosplay so I won't give her shit for it
yeah ashley could've pulled off ahsoka. disney has the money to get the good costume and the training
of course it'd make a certain crowd mad though
what crowd
probably accusing of whitewashing ahsoka
"bro shes black in facial features!!!!1!"
in a heavily stylized show
....where in rebels she looks white as hell
because obviously giving an actress orange facepaint is exactly like black face
...stares awkwardly at Tropic Thunder
nobody cares about skin color in these films the only reason people would be mad is writing π people are mad because their pushing the "Gay" narrative more in star wars
here we go lol
make ahsoka gay
name 5 examples
arenβt togrutas and twileks supposed to be any race/ethnicity
I wanna see Ahsoka kiss Mon Mothma just to make them mad
i feel like ashley could have played ashoka for sure
5 reasons people would be mad that the Gay narrative is being pushed on star wars
no, 5 examples of a gay narrative being pushed
nah give us 5 of those reasons too actually lmao
man it sucks that i havent watched this movie yet. cant find it anywhere and i dont wanna bother with the less-legal methods
oh hey its on Paramount+ now
FUCK i forgot about today's ep
I can think of 1 reason right off the bat 
Lets see it
tropic thunders on apple tv
Aint got apple tv
However because I work at Walmart I get paramount+ for free
i have yet to watch, hope itβs good
i shall watch it tomorrow probably
It is decent
bro hittin the black ops pose
Opinions are opinions though so just form ya own
of course
Just go on the internet lol youtube is also free Kathleen Kennedy just got punished recently 
you made the claim, i want you to post 5 examples of said claim
or at least as many as you can
"Can you cite a source for your claims?"
"Just google it bro"
Get academic
Like clicking on a source on wikipedia and it telling you to look it up, ffs
its heard like a crap tone of insights based on good and bad for the past couple days lmao its not hard when its in your face π
okay, so post them
bro there's just so many of them I can't name em
So it won't be hard for you to point them out?
Do you gotta go back to college just to learn how to cite your damn sources?
Oh... wait...
ryan kinel posted some lol with a good source of critics on the good and bad 70k viewer count go check it out
its just a long ass pod cast a couple days ago π
I'm not sifting through a long-ass podcast for you
so you watched it then?
please, give a summary
for me ?
you know we're getting peak journalism right here 
Watch it yourself, timestamp each of your sources, and show it to us
I dont type essays lol just watch it lmao
clearly not
Don't make claims if you're not prepared to back them up
link the podcast I only see short form videos on his channel
The channel is just this? Seems like some biased bullcrap made to farm views, like CinemaSins
you made a claim that disney has a gay agenda
i asked for examples for you to prove this
you are refusing to post any examples (e.g "they made thus character gay") and instead directing us to watch youtubers
it's giving... Mike Zeroh
it's hard to take all the fandom menace channels seriously when all of them look and act the same
even criticaldrinker can be more nuanced and the guy is about as three dimensional as a piece of paper
who's mike Zeroh π a youtuber?
You'd probably like him, he talks about, Kathleen Kennedy and 'woke' a lot
Don't forget Doomcock
I don't see this podcast, was he on someone else's podcast?
Nah i watch alot of screen rant thoe 
these other creators like "not obi wan kenobi and screencrush"
I'm gonna assume you're talking about a different podcast because this one doesn't have any points that back you up lmao
I thought this was pretty funny tho ngl
38 seconds Β· Clipped by TheKhannunisT Β· Original video "George Lucas SPEAKS OUT On Disney Star Wars, Assassin's Creed Gets SLAMMED | May Supporter Stream" by...
As much as Rise of Skywalker in my opinion is one of the most dogshit pieces of Star Wars media I've had the displeasure of witnessing... bro could have atleast pretended to have seen the film
I see tonight's entertainment is in here today
Rey... did get hurt... did get overpowered... and... did die
and was saved... by a man lol
Almost twice Kylo got distracted
What point ?... All i said was that some critic find that star wars is pushing a gay narrative i didnt say i agree but you guys got butt hurt and ask for proof that people are talking about this matter... I look at all perspectives not just one ππ
but if you want one so bad just watch that i guess
we just want you to actually explain what you say lol, it shouldn't be that difficult
if I go
"theres too many Sith!"
and someone goes
It cant get that much simpler π
"Name 5 sith."
and I go
"uhhhhh, uhhhhh, uhhhhhhhh, theres just too many bro!"
kinda makes it seem like I don't know wtf I'm talking about huh?
Lol that video. You're going too deep into the fandom menace stinkhole.
I said "people" what makes you think i know everyones name that im watching when i clearly said I listen to all good and bad π
"people" bro I like to listen to both critics and others' opinions on star wars
What are your own conclusions then
Because Star Wars critique has been plummeting in quality. You need to be careful in whom you listen to
Alr I watched this video. So in the video he lays out that Disney has more female leads than male leads across shows and movies
Which is, untrue.
There are 7 female leads in Disney projects. Rey, Ahsoka, Omega, Osha, Jyn, Barris, Morgan.
There's 9 male leads. Han, Hunter, Cassian, Din, Boba, Obi-wan, Kaz, Ezra, and Dooku
so roughly even
Secondly, he makes a list of all of the LGBTQ characters he can think of period in Star Wars, but prefixes it by saying that "During George Lucas, there were no gay characters." while in his list, he lists Cade Skywalker and I'ra Saa, who were characters introduced during Lucas's era... not Disney
I dont listen to agree, i just listen and here what they have to say
He then says that Lucas didn't focus on orientation of characters. whatever that means?
Then finally he says the whole point of his video is that. "When you introduce DEI, you no longer get Star Wars"
Star Wars is when... no gay

What
he's a consoomer
whats wrong with just hearing out other people's thoughts on the franchise lmao, I dont just listen to critics π
people like screen crush and their reviews is what i really watch
See, here's what I like to do, when I listen to someone make an argument, I listen to determine whether or not their argument has merit. In this video alone, this indivdual was factually incorrect on at least two of his points, and doesn't actually elaborate on what he believes and why he believes it. Then I go well, why does he make these errors in his video? Did he make them because he is ignorant of what he is talking about? Or did he make them purposefully to set an agenda? Then we go from there.
I don't listen to people just to listen to them.
That's why we have so many people who go around and parrot misinformation and make sloppy arguments for things they're been told to think or agree with.
well did you tell him that or just waste your time telling us instead of him ππ
I'm telling you that. Because you're the type of person I am describing in the last sentence.
That's why I've also been asking you what you believe in since you listen to so many people
I said that people are saying that disney is pushing a gay narrative how is that misinforming you lmao
Not in the slightest bit did i say i agree with them π
they were talking why people were upset with recasting ahsoka or whoever was in it then i said thats not true that people would get mad at that because clearly some people are mad that disney is pushing a gay narrative more in starwars
You said people don't care about skin color when you have groups (in the star wars community) that both encourage and oppose diversification of casts.
(We saw this extensively during Acolyte's pre-release)
they recast people all the time that wouldnt be a major upset... but its clear that these critics care about a certain motive of sexual identity being more of a priority than a nicely written story, that is what seems to be a bigger upset for these critics π
It's maddening
yeah well you cant win them all right π
so, we all think the greasy asian dude is actually mae's master, right?
they might pull a Scream 6 on us lol
I'm considering it
Least batshit insane rick grimes profile
So bad that it earns valour among everyone who watched it and earned countless awards

This is all Kathleen said and they're asking for her head on a pike again
This fanbase is a fucking joke. I'm sick of seeing star wars on a non star wars community and knowing the discussion is just toxic and bad faith and degenerate. If I tried to speak facts on the good Kathleen has also do, then I would get ganged up on by the mob mentality
Seriously losing interest in the fanbase as a while, it's not even humorous anymore
Oh for fuck sake.
Now I'm really malding
Also fucking ridiculous that the thread responding to this quote are clearly male dominated and very personal insults. Zero self awareness.
/end of a malding
Still need to watch the episode, is Star Wars killed yet?
Just in a coma
Hope to finally see the sith in action in this episode
Bcs Ki Adi cameo and pronouns moment aint gonna cut it
If only bro could hear himself
Crying about they pronouns in a franchise surrounded by androgynous aliens is truly regarded
Kinda. His entrance is fucking incredible, I had chills.. but it's a cliff hanger. He flexes his dong then the episode ends
Some weird edits in this episode tho ngl. Felt like my putting a star wars wipe in a meme video on my phone.. it continues to appropriately build intrigue for me though and where it could go
But I once again stress, if it fails all this build up at the finish line then it fails pretty hard
Its just so forced and cringe. It takes you out for a second. I just dont see the point of it.
Alright
That cliffhanger
It's forced because you're an insufferable closeted bigot that any amount of tolerance cannot be tolerated by you
Like fucking of COURSE there's species with no gender in star wars. That's how aliens often work.
Fucking crybaby snowflake god damn
Nah , it's forced because anyone with half a brain can understand that corporations use these social trends to make money, while you praise it thinking its progress
for example, that dude/girl hero in GenV was an interesting approach on the gender debate
That was great
But here, it's just cringe
Anyway, boring episode, hope the next will have some substance
It was great for the same reason it was for star wars: it just makes fucking sense in the already established universe. Obviously there's people like that around
But you're so desperate in your agenda of protecting Star wars from the wokeism that you've gone blind with arrogance
same
this episode was eh
the ending was sick though
but it was pretty boring despite there being some interesting points
I kinda feel like giving up on this show but at the same time I'm watching it so I have something new to watch.
I cringed a bit at this part because of how they worded it. All they needed to do was have Osha call him "they" since she was unsure about the character's gender. They didn't need to say "he, I mean they...".
This is what I'm trying to explain. This scene had no purpose other than to check the pronoun box
Yeah , the ending was cool. Curious how it will play on the next episode. If that dude is gonna 1V10 or something else
I didn't mind they used pronouns there - it's more that they made it obvious they were trying to do that.
yep, i agree
Bro Sol's actor is so fucking good with his english acting considering he didn't know the language before this show
Yeah well ,can't stop the grifters
It's hilarious how they all release the same video, saying the same shit
They are just making money of these people
yeah
Pronouns?? In MY Star Wars?? What next, adjectives???
I almost feel like it's adding to his characters stoicness
reminder that theres still nothing to say that smilo ren isnt tech
he has time travelled!
I think the opposite, Sol isn't more stoic than any other Jedi. In fact his emotions and connection to Osha/Mae come across very strongly because of the emphasis the actor placed on his words
That emotion makes him more compelling than the MORE stoic and emotionless Jedi Masters around him
So I just watched this scene. Completely a non-issue. It felt natural, like any other conversation that could happen IRL
Don't tell me people are crying about that...
The issue is that they've worded it that way on purpose
just say "are they..." if you are unsure about someone's pronouns
Jesus christ have you never messed up accidently?
yeah
Most people default to he for someone they don't know the pronoun for
but I have learned to just ask them or use "they"
SHE USED THEY
people will correct me if need be
then make it sound natural
not "oh you used the wrong pronouns so you need to correct yourself"
It sounded very natural, she was curious about the alien whose gender was not clear, she defaulted to he like 80% of people then corrected to they
I've done it before irl a couple times
I've heard others do it irl a couple times
eh ok
SW fans need to stop being pathetic and criticise the things that actually deserve criticism
I'm gonna resume the episode before I get too worked up
The dialogue has been strong so far and I'm 1/3 of the way into the episode
Definitely stronger than the previous episodes, esp in the scene where Sol convinces Osha to help them find Kelnacca
What is your favorite tv show ever ?
If you're gonna compare a fucking SW show to prestige TV then that's a fool's errand buddy π
lol
Please answer the question
Bcs you saying the dialogue is "strong" is actually alarming
Please stop whingeing about pronouns
so i want to compare
Agreed. That scene was solid.
Obviously it's strong relative to other SW shows
the dialogue could be a little less plot related
And obviously it's weak compared to shows like sopranos or the wire
well have a few more non-plot bits of dialogue
This isn't the gotcha you were planning for it to be
like don't talk about the plot 100% of the time
no need to gotcha on something as stupid as this
So go back to pounding the floor like a baby over he/they being used in a show
I was just curious
there were some good moments this episode that did that
Nobody is pouding the floor
tell that to SW fans
ie this video
If you cant tell the difference between jobless grifters making money over young and stupid people and actually legit criticism. Its pointless to argue
Ah yes your "legit criticism" which amounted to....what exactly?
A natural bit of dialogue designed to inform us the name of the tracker?
the fact that this pronoun scene was pointless. And even more in such a badly written show
they are doing almost the same thing as I did
.
SW fans try not to nitpick over 5 seconds of footage in an episode challenge
the same way those grifters jump on any detail to create drama and engagement, you people cant stop yourself from jumping on your high horse hoping to get the moral high ground
huh
tf are you on?
all this nitpicking is annoying is all he is saying
I am guilty of it myself
He's rambling to justify his hatred same with every other episode
This repeats weekly
millions of dollars are invested in this
We should make a separate thread just for whatz's bitching
It's should be absolute peak
You can bitch there to your heart's content
the thing is they aren't making the effort to make some valid criticisms
e.g. the writing was poorly done because of such and such
not this episode was bad because there was a fire in space
and that's one of the worst examples of fans being super nitpicky
Yeah , the same way people are nitpicking over high profile production
Look at GoT. Everybody was betting on the failure of HOTD
but it was good and well made
I really don't see why you're arguing
we're making the same points
just talking about two different quality levels
He tries to remain stoic, as best as he can. The compelling character is because he's fighting it, he has the conflict a sith has but for the jedi side.
Whatz had a mini meltdown over it
Why can't they just make star wars for everyone and everyone has favourite content that they can pick and choose from a plethora of genres, quality focuses, set designs, choreography, plot writing, tones etc etc
Why must everything be mature and gritty like Andor when you and everybody else was introduced to star wars when they were young and what was coming out. Always has been.
Im just asking for quality man
Star wars has never had compelling writing or dialogue. If you came to star wars expecting these time and time again, then YOURE the problem. YOURE setting your expectations up to fail, not Kathleen lol
same
they can put anything in it as long as it's good
Your quality is someone else's garbage
And vice versa
what
I've seen people say Shawshank redemption was boring writing lol
yeah bcs some people have bad taste
Like for example, i really dont like fantasy setting; Like elf and dwarf
I dont watch it
but im not saying its dog shit
I bet you had plenty to say about ring of power tho
You can be objective as possible, but there will always be subjective elements to it
That's impossible to remove
Yeah ofc
def
So when someone says the dialogue is pretty solid... They're not wrong
Neither are you
You're too close to the line, it's become grey
what do you mean by too close to the line?
This is why people are saying stfu until it's done and dusted
It's divisive right? It's because we're so close to good and so close to bad
It's impossible to simply slap an objective label on it rn
mhm
You can say "it could turn out shit" or "it could turn out great" but you cannot say definitively what it is rn
Which is enhanced by the delivery on his lines, he places emphasis on words like a foreign speaker (idk if that's on purpose or because he literally just learned english), either way it's fucking fire
Think of it like this... Andor worked in 3 episode arcs right? Build up for 2, final act in 3rd? Acolyte is doing that over a full season
If Andor has shit final acts, it wouldn't be s tier
Same here
It has to be worth it
dave filoni retcons an entire book
awww you're sweet
they change ki-adi-mundis age from legends
HELLO HUMAN RESOURCES??!
Agreed. The fact we can even see these things from someone WHO LITERALLY ONLY JUST LEARNT ENGLISH is fkn awesome
It's legends...? How is changing a legends character in a canon show surprising lol
because its BAD because wokelyte dod it
Fr

Memesoon what is your unfiltered unadulterated dogshit opinion on acolyte so far?
Aw bruh ifunny watermark
Yeah that's fair
better than kenobi, bobf and ahsoka
Fr
but thats not a high bar
Im gonna say something wild... I'm enjoying it as much as the new season of boys. Acolyte gets many points for attempting to be innovative at least
I quit watching boys after the 522nd "kill homelander but fail then try again" plot
smh they made the boys WOKE

I do like how certain parts of the viewerbase are just now realising that they were the ones being made fun of in the show
I wish we could see some trained supe at some point
ones that actually know what they are doing
Kimiko
Interesting that Ki Adi Mundi made a cameo. Apparently makes him much older than his legends counterpart.
Wasn't oppo rancisis super old too? Would it make sense for him to be in acolyte as well
Yeah, would be cool to see him
Noir seemed kinda trained, not that we saw him do a lot lol
Wait that was unironically ki adi mundi and not just one of his species?
Credits
Oh shit does Alibi's bet count for this. He didn't specify which BF2 and Mundi is a hero in 2005
whatever camera theyre using is half decent π
its just way too much film grain
I mean for 2017 the only one could possibly qualify is Yoda, right?
Chewie but he's super unlikely
No way π
Bro would be pushing 200 during sequels
...
Apparently they live for 400 years so never fucking mind
Were those ki adi mundi and plo koon
Ki Adi Mundi was definitely there but I have no idea where you saw Plo
There was a Kel Dor in the episode. No idea if it was Plo or not
it isnt
when was that?
I think Plo would be about the right age
he was 385 when he died
no idea where that info was from though
they contradicted ki-adi-mundo's legends age, this is what happens when you hire for woke ESG pointsπ€
tf
Wokealyte!!!!
Also they could have shaak ti appear because her age isn't confirmed and force sensitive togruta can live up to like 200 years old
Hey guys is Star Wars dead yet
Oh ok they got Ki Adi Mundiβs age wrong, thatβs it, Iβm done with Star Wars
Disney has gone TOO FAR
No shot its just way too obvious
Gotta be a red herring
because this show has a history of not doing predictable things? or?
Tbh I wasn't expecting Kelnacca to already be dead π
fair
They got me
Side note, every time I see people complaining about Pronouns, this clip is just ingrained into my consciousness
its a nothing argument. its the equivalent of the "that alien isn't a guy?" trope. we've seen it in literally every sci fi franchise known to man.
Exactly
Holy hell
greasy? Idgi
i mainly mean his hair
I do not buy in to that theory, no. I think it's just some new villain shmuck they're gonna introduce
(it's actually Yoda standing on Grogu's shoulder after they travelled back in time from the World Between Worlds as they are now multiversal peacekeepers)
Do you think the smiling dude could be the apprentice while another sith master is soon to be revealed ?
Smiling dude?
his helmet looks like a smile
I was just gonna call him Killo Ren
i think the internet has dubbed him "Smilo Ren"
i dont know if another sith will be revealed (at least this season), but i do think Plagueis and his master are already canonized in Disney canon, so it'd have to be an apprentice.
Probably a Vader-Starkiller/Maul-Savage situation where the apprentice is trying to get an apprentice of his own to overthrow the real master
i would bet on this
that one might be a bit more immutable. There's a 2023 encyclopedia that includes High Republic stuff and has Sheev's birthyear listed.
which, ironically, retconned it by 2 years compared to the last source of Sheev's birthyear
Yeah I know, I'm just being provocative
It's a super high chance it's what you said
Interesting how powerful they've made him tho
ye
i dunno, tho, sith apprentices have always been kinda powerful. especially Sith apprentices that have previous beef with the Jedi Order, which if qimir's dialogue in Ep 2 is any indication, i think he might.
See: Dooku vs Nightsister assassins, Dooku in Ep 2, Vader in anything between Ep 3 and 4.
i mean dooku was a sith "apprentice" but he was a jedi master
right, that's what i mean tho. sith apprentice isn't the same as a jedi apprentice, they're not younglings in training, they can be powerful.
Yeah , i also think its another way to show the jedi arrogance, thinking they can rush a threat like that without thinking
I hope he wipes the jedi squad, grievous style
There's definitely some redshirts in the squad they've got there.
Bro maxed out his telekinesis
Straight up did a Force wave
Dooku is a sith lord tho
Like I hear ya but dooku is a special case
Maul too
There's a reason these were considered the return of the sith
i mean we dont know this masked guy in the acolyte isn't a sith lord. he just isn't in sideous' "lineage" of masters.
Let's say for simplicity's sake the "real" sith master is Plagueis' master, Tenebrous. Smilo Ren could be a sith lord, like dooku or vader was, but still have Tenebrous as a master. If he gets killed off (we assume he will be bc we haven't heard of him), Tenebrous just replaces him with Plagueis. Like Sideous replaced Dooku with Vader.
He can't be tho
It would destroy that plot thread in the prequels
I think he will simply be a dark side user essentially.
Or just a sith apprentice but not a sith lord
its a moot point rn, grasping at an explanation as to why hes so powerful. but whether or not he's a sith lord really doesnt matter, it only matters what the jedi report him as, or if there are any jedi that survive the encounter long enough to report what he is.
nailed it
I really hope smilo ren aint Qimir
I feel like this is going to neatly tie into Project Necromancer, Osha and Mae being the first force capable strandcasts, the Sith in the episode being Darth Venamis, and Darth Tenebrous being his master. This of course means Darth Plagueis is involved
the ki-adi-mundi thing gets funnier
"they edited the canon page for his birth year!!!!"
turns out said age was added in june
....with no source
so someone edited it in, the it got edited out
π
Changing written dialogued characters from George by writers that have no experience with any star wars labels lol
tenebrous is definitely around because this show takes place like 88 years before phantom menace
does tenevrous even still exist
Pretty sure because he was killed in 67 bby i believe
Penguinz is funny asf with his star wars reviews πππ½
the "the pee pee poo poo drama is insane" guy?
the long haired guy yeah
What is blud waffling about
What'd they even change other than his age
The Age thing about Ki Adi... Acolyte has a writer that has never seen star wars lmao
...
Why is his age suddenly relevant, it changes virtually nothing about his character and it gives him more opportunities to appear in extended media
And regardless he hasn't had a canonical age since the EU was disbanded
Idk lol thats everyone's concern on youtube especially sw theory π
Funniest part is people acting like it's shitting on George, as if he ever cared about EU/Legends canon, let alone what Ki-Adi-Mundi's birthday was
something about a line he said in ep 1 but it was such a small line
Which is also easily explained away like 3 different ways, and we haven't even seen the rest of the eps yet
Which would be a valid complaint if the term "sith" had been uttered in any capacity during the episode's runtime (it has not)
Its understandable... what else would you call a man sending his apprentice to kill jedi because i sure as would call him a sith lol π
I mean that mini-council immediately didn't jump to that conclusion
Because, as Ki Adi Mundi would reflect apon 100 years later, they thought that the Sith were extinct
yeah them undermining that fact is a reason theyre going to die in 100 years π
Anyways we've yet to see if "Smileo Ren" is actually de facto sith or merely a dark jedi.
I think writers who havenβt seen SW need to write SW more often
Thatβs how we got Andor
People writing a good show first and writing SW second
Only thing I do like about acolyte is that we call the masked sith Smileo Ren XD
Doesnβt automatically make it better that they havenβt seen it but there needs to be a balance of non fans and fans on the writing staff
true... either or, he has a inclination for dead jedi
Other than that I really don't like Star Wars Acolyte. There's just too much lore breaking.
One thing that I felt was very unnecessary was the pronoun scene in episode 4. It felt odd. I have nothing against that scene, it just felt weird to have.
That's just my personal opinion. I'll keep watching the show but so far I REALLY don't like it π¦
that scene caught me off guard
π like since when did star wars care about pronouns
People have those
Itβs not really a SW thing itβs more like a general existing thing
Still havenβt watched it tho so Iβll get back about the lore breaking
But nobody in star wars has cared wether it was a "he/they" or whatever they said lmao π
It just felt very unnecessary to have, I think we all know what they were trying to do with it which again I really have nothing against but if it is that case it was poorly put in and not exactly what I want to listen.
Like... I don't care about pronouns, why should I care about it if I'm watching a show? I could just use their name.
Itβs just part of their identity
Everyone has them some people have different ones it is what it is
Nothing to make a fuss over
Donβt make me tap the sign
thats the problem... no one cares about it so why even have that in the dialogue lol
If you don't care why are you fussing about it. There's no harm.
I'm not making a fuss over it, it just felt really odd.
It is what it is
True.
Eh maybe. Delivery has been hit or miss.
Why not
I just think it could have been executed better XD
Other than that and the lorebreaking I'll keep watching until the end.
Just don't remind me the power of many song. XD
I honestly think it was their way of being funny
What lore do you think is broken
I havenβt seen it yet but I am preliminary giving it a 7/10
Probably 6.5/10
From the discourse Iβve heard
You'll like this one
Hold on
Gotta find it
Ki-Adi-Mundi is apparently alive at the time of acolyte which is not accurate with when he was born.
He hasn't had a canonical birth year in 12 years
Actually he still doesn't have one, he's just older
Uhhh yes he did?
Canonically he was not suppose to be born until 39 years after Acolyte
If he was alive during acolyte, then he would know about the sith.
Which would mess up one of the quotes he would say in the Phantom menace.
Pretty sure i wasnt the only one that read those star wars character biographies that had their birth years or am i tweaking
In legends
He has no backstory in canon
Problem:
The term "sith" has not been said throughout the show's runtime until this point
I think
Technically no
But yeah, regardless, we still don't know if Smiley is a sith or a pretender
I think you mean Smilo Ren. π
nor "dark jedi" at all lol
There's also episode 3 which I'm really not going to go into because of how so many things just don't make sense in it.
Too much to explain about it
I've never heard anyone say dark jedi at all in any film or am I missing one
Nope
Anyway I'm going to hop away, just wanted to share my thoughts.
See you all on next episode.

I'm sure they do but you're just unaware because you either don't know the distinction between legends/canon like with the Ki Adi thing, or you download your opinions from the internet
I'll be very pleasantly surprised if you have any genuine criticisms
Because its a normal fucking conversation that happens, for people who supposedly "don't care" about pronouns you all sure do like whingeing about them
You should stop copying your opinions/criticisms from SWT or the Internet in general
another wasted actor
???
I need to go touch grass lol I'm missing obvious jokes
The fanbase's reaction to this show has put me on edge
what joke? I'm serious about them wasting another actor.
hes the same actor for chewbacca lol
if theres a wookiee in something, he'll be cast
The fact that flashbacks are considered wasting a character makes zero fucking sense
You can kill a character episode 1 and include them heavily on the entire rest of the season
It has been done plenty before
Very weird hill to die on, sounds like one of the weird hater copes
Wdym he gets opinions from everywhere (they're all confirmation bias)
It's so easy to not be a grifter guys
So fucking easy
Alright nvm mb for thinking the fanbase can stop clowning for 5 seconds
Literally what are you talking about
Speaking of the stupid Ki Adi discourse, apparently people are mad the canon wiki page got updated
why promote a character in such a large role yet they are killed before they even get a decent amoutn of screen time?
that replier can stfu
this isn't called gatekeeping; it's called don't be an absolute d*** and act like a civilised person.
gatekeeping is what the sequel haters do
Dude that reply has to be the most bad faith retort I've seen in months
Holy fuck
ikr
That's like saying telling gamers to not tell people how to end their own life with high degree of detail would be gatekeeping
Dangerous logic
Sauce?
sec
@_ZackLarsen He doesnβt know anything about the Sith? Why would he? And we offered the part to Yoda but he wasnβt tech avail so a young Ki Adi Mundi stepped in for the part.
she wrote the episode
I see
wait tech avail? As in the only reason is because of the availability of tech?
But the show is so expensive...
I get the feeling this show was scrapped at some point
i got another screencap about why the wookie death was offscreen (bcs of budget) but i cant find the original tweet. Im afraid its fake
That's even more pathetic than review bombing, I hope not
the Wookie is a suit like they always are
pretty sure its fake or deleted
so how does that impact budget
Honestly those jarring cuts make me think a lot was kinda changed late in the process
I get their vision but it felt like a couple student fan film star wars wipeβ’Β© edits
You can't find a cool way to leave them on the ground and the dark sider standing over them? We're gonna cut mid force push? Mmkay then
they should have cut when mae realize smilo is here
Tbh it was cool
I love how they presented "what the fuck is a sith" mentality from the jedi
yeahhh
Because they take long to react but it feels believable
Real
but i wished we had something about the cold
like with kanan and vader
Only Sol react
Yeah
Bro shows up like FUCK YOUR KIDDY PLOT ARMOUR
Vader seemed so fucking invicible
which one?
the entrance of the Sith guy at the end was sick
Ya
Yeah , and for once we got some good acting
they made it really well
that girl looked very terrified
That's the MCU edition
apparently the va for the Sith and Qimir are the same in the Spanish dub

That doesn't mean nothing
and he is apparently very present in interviews and all
I would bet if the thread was still open
interesting
they had better make Qimir a much more interesting character then
I didn't see it tbf but I'm trying to see the artists vision more than anything else rn
but despite the low effort twist, the actor look promising so far
I mean him secretly being a sith mf is pretty interesting on top of his current character
It just... Isn't creative
Bit mid innit
another commenter here said that (maybe a leak) ||this character is the apprentice and there's another Sith master||
This is what i really hope
Might be
same
||Damn I was hoping they wouldnt be sith||
||They'd better be careful how they go about this||
gives an entire golden goose to Deborah chow
They're clearly very careful
π
huh
who's being naughty?
he said a bad word
twas a gif
apparently
They're not very careful with star wars
Lots of experiments and knee jerk changes
No it was a gif I tried to post
Oh I'm dumb
SWT: "They fly now π€‘"
I'm convinced the guy hasn't watched or read any SW beyond the main movies and TCW
And he's like the biggest lore YTber there

EVEN IN THE MOVIES YOU HAVE VADER'S JUMP DURING THE BESPIN DUEL
He's got the memory of a fried trout
of course he hasnt
ask him to summarize events in a novel and he pribably couldnt
SWT running away from actually trying to learn about anything in Star Wars that isn't Anakin
B-b-but he's literally me... Fr fr...
That reply hurts my brain so much
Are they your thoughts tho? They feel very on brand for the mob opinions and the defences don't scream true understanding of the subject
yeah lol, I just seen on twitter by clair kiechel that it was supposed to be a joke about the pronouns but they didnt think it was poorly excuted π
copying what lmao reading is fundamental bro... not once did i ever say i agree with these people that I watch everyone has an opinion and I like to hear them out wether its a good or bad review
Uh but your opinion just happens to be the same as them sooo yeah. Sounds like you DO agree with them
"They messed up Lucas' lore!"
"Acolyte writers have never seen SW!"
^ said by you
Because its online and confirmed by her twitter back in early june about the writer never seeing star wars... everyone knows that π
she actually said to have watch TPM around 40times when she was young
Which is fine in a vacuum but you said it in the context of ki adi mundi's age changing
Which implies you think the age change came as a result of her never watching SW
(which is insane)
well the rest of the season isnt finished so dont get to mad because the writer might make a comeback π€·π½ββοΈπ
Bro is talking to himself
that bit of inexperience does affect smaller details
No andor has shown that writers who don't give a fuck about SW can still make a good show
it's almost like experience with SW has no bearing on a show's quality
More so, the quality and calibre of the writer
well tell that to the people that dont like this show
Besides, fixing contradictions and keeping the lore intact is the jobs of the story group guys whatever tf they are named
I find the show actually decent and these minor errors dont depict wether i dont like it i just point them out lol
i would be more worried about the sith extinction line than his age
Again what errors
Acolyte critics when I ask them to elaborate on why the show is bad
Yeah no thats the one thing I'm concerned about atm
What sith extinction line
Ki Adi mundi is the one who says "But the Sith have been extinct for a millennium!" in TPM
So if Smiley is a sith specifically, the knowledge never reaches Coruscant
yeah, so we'll see
You know itβs fucked when even SWE has to chime in
The only thing people remember about him is the wookie attack memes
I felt a great disturbance in the viewership...as if millions of diehard Mundi fans suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terribly WOKE has happened
Besides like stass allie and a few others he's probably the bottom 5 least popular prequel jedi
And lore nerds don't like him either because he's an asshole in legends
At least he showed up for landing at point rain
Probably his most important appearance
I'm glad tcw gave alot of PT jedi their own episodes
I for one think that the acting is good and the quality is decent.. errors im talking about is for story telling-wise like how this episode was exceedingly dragged up until the end. these small talks about nothing and watching these guys ruck through a forrest doing nothing.. there was no excitement, it was just pure anticlimactic until we get a cliff hanger
Im just stuck on the fact that im hoping this show has a huge turn around because what could you have possibly done with 180 million and one of your episodes is under 30 minutes π€·π½ββοΈ
Yall know I love star wars
Like I enjoyed book of boba fett
Even though everyone hated it
But what the fuck is this show
None of this is an error mate
sigh
EVEN THE ACTING HAS ME IN A HOLD
It's not a mystery at all, you're just pre judging a show before it's finished
Confirmation bias does that
Ur telling me
Ur all for this flip from
βIm gonna kill you for becoming a jediβ
To βmy sister is alive! Im gonna go tell jedi what i know!β
That 180 out of nowhere kinda got to me
Let the woman kill the damn jedi, i wanted to see a fully trained wookie jedi fight
AND THEY KILL HIM OFF SCREEN
And the cliff hangar at the end before the fight was not it
Damn it's almost like they have to explain shit and build up mystery intrigue
Sure the cliffhanger was jarring, but does it matter if it pays off
I hope it pays off
For surprise and a twist, which it absolutely succeeded at. Made his entrance really intimidating.
I think he looks a lil goofy ngl
Thats just my opinion though
Too inquisitory looky
That's a different point tbf
I think he looks like a knight of ren which is what I'd expect most outcast dark sider from high republic to look like tbh
Idk much about them so i cant say much abt that
It's just that vibe
When
The fire... The bugs...
Let the woman be evil
She gives in to the dark side often is my current interpretation. Nobody taught her what voices to ignore
Her evil sister got the witch mumbo jumbo done to her but not the jedi sister
Probably important
Which is why I want witch woman to stay evil
And jedi sister good
But now witch girl completely 180βd
After killing two jedi
Iβll laugh my ass off if she turns herself in and the jedi are just like βyou want us to let you off? You killed two jediβ¦.β
"I'm not pleased with the bare architecture of this house I'm going to live in"
Like obviously it's not a house yet..
Doesn't sound like they can if this is your opinion already
But atm it just makes no sense
Same with the acolyte haters
And is so out of left field
Gulp shitto
You are just constantly describing mystery genre tropes
These all happen commonly in mystery shows
It's ok if mystery isn't your thing
It has been building intrigue non stop. Each episode what we know changes entirely.
Where ur making these characters then oop actually were just gonna change this one completely
Im not?
I have literally said
I hope it gets better and I dont like hating on star wars
Multiple times
But u just wanna pick and choose what u read and try to argue with my opinion of not liking the writing
Something else, so much dialogue seems forced
What does forced mean π I thought the dialogue had been pretty natural lately
More natural than the likes of ahsoka anyway
It doesnt feel natural to me idk what it is

i dont think it was that jarring. they were little kids when she made the threat, little kids don't always think about what they're saying. and ||i really dont think mae actually started that fire, which is why she blames the Jedi for what happened||. Regardless, tho, her actions were bc she loved her sister and didn't want to be separated. Now that shes older and knows her sister is alive, she decided to try to do what she could to be together again. Not that big a leap.
Idk the dialogue feels like how people would actually talk to each other
Attack me with all your cringe
Most star wars dialouge is super dramatic and stuff
Mfw I ask acolyte critics to explain exactly what's wrong instead of making vague statements
You think the jedi started the fire?
Jedi definitely started it because they thought the witches were abusing osha
its a possibility. maybe the sith did to frame the jedi and send mae down the path to be his apprentice
God this reminds of this stupid ass penguinz0 video where he "critiques" acolyte for having boring and uninteresting characters to the point where he doesn't even remember their names....but namedrops qimir perfectly
but since that one meditating jedi willingly took the poison as punishment, i think he knows the jedi did something bad
Yeah his arguments get dumber and dumber the more he watches
Id like to see this. But even if they did why would she 180 and now try to turn herself into them? Youd think itd fuel her snger more
Especially for oshaβs master
Or however u spell her name
its not about the jedi, its about being with Osha. Like she said to qimir "My sister being alive does change things"
Also "we thought we were doing the right thing"
They clearly attack because they think something happened
"And this accomplice guy, I think his name is....QIMIR..? I dunno all the characters are so boring and hard to remember" π buddy you nailed his name
They should have made qimirs full name qimir herring
A name I didn't know btw
Despite being able to defend acolyte
How do you not know qimir!
Then why not just try to reunite with her and leave the jedi behind?
The most memorable character!
Glup shitto
I forgot mace windu jr immediately after watching even though i thought he was the hottest character
Didn't you just think she had been brainwashed for like 16 years
she doesn't know how to find her except she's associated with the Jedi
I suppose. Iβd like to see how it plays out
Yord π
She immediately tried to give herself in lol
Yordan
But atm it just seems random
I dont think he has yet to say his name in the show its all just pre-written outside the show like the credits and online in general
And out of the blue/ordinary
yeah, remembering star wars names should not be a criteria for how good something is x) not one single person i know irl could name any Rogue One character names a week after seeing the movie in theaters. Except for maybe Jyn. Just not enough individual screentime and repetition of names to remember them.
people dont just always stay for the credits
Nah I see Bell's point Mae's transition/betrayal happened in a flash, there was zero introspection
If there were like
Did you watch the episode
A secene or two before it
Where shes thinking about it
Instead of just randomly 180ing
She wanted to surrender to kelnacca so she could meet with the jedi
Because it hasn't been made yet
I think thats the big thing, is that theyre just doing stuff and theres so much more we wanna learn beforehand. Like Im still not satisfied with the characters they just introduce with no explanation or backstory
Lol thats also another reason people didnt like it because she just out of the blue wanted her sister dead
When a character in a mystery show acts weird and they don't talk about it for 2 episodes because they're hiding it... Is that bad writing?
Like all the jedi, it makes it seem like theyre important
It happened so quick and abruptly that I fully thought she was lying to get closer to the jedi so she could fucking STAB them
But all i know is this guy knew osha and this girl is a padawan
And the master were getting more of which is nice
I don't think she gaf about the jedi she just wants to reunite with osha
But I just need more to it
