The Acolyte Spoilers

[lean shard]

instead of just calling out bullshit

[mint orbit]

Yeah like imagine if the nightsisters saved a dathomirian sith acolyte

That would be so crazy

🧌

Yep. I still use it

You're dumb if you think otherwise tbh

[last rain]

Listen man

Ive had people shot in the head multiple times and survive

Some ppl just be lucky

[mint orbit]

[mint orbit]

This show is clearly designed to kill off a lot of the cast to make more emotionally tied or impactful theming

I respect that

[last rain]

Idk I found it more funny than anything

[mint orbit]

The ole rogue one style

[last rain]

I wasnt attached to the characters yet

[mint orbit]

Nah the deaths were written well enough in to the fights that even if you didn't have emotional attachment, you could get a form of "oh damn". Like I got it for jord and I barely cared about bro

[last rain]

Oh 100% the stab was my oh damn moment

The jord death I laughed

[mint orbit]

I only started caring about jecki 5 seconds before her death too lol

But still impactful asf

[last rain]

Idk why it was so funny

CRACK HAHAHAHAHA

[mint orbit]

Unfortunately I bet a lot of people will laugh at that scene because he commited the cardinal sin

Got someone's name wrong in an interview

[last rain]

Cardinal scene?

[mint orbit]

I meant sin

Phone went off script

[last rain]

Oh, I just send people that natalie portman scene from snl

They usually get the hint

[mint orbit]

Yeah idk she has a lot of SNL skits lol

[last rain]

Oh ill send it here

https://youtu.be/glzV-oqS6Vo?si=x2nma1SuF-V-6Lgd

[mint orbit]

Bit self servicing ngl, don't think these conversations actually happen like that

I prefer to send the clip of Dave Filoni doubling down on making star wars for kids and asking how old they were when they first fell in love with star wars

[last rain]

No, its exaggerated

Thats why i send it

[jade pelican]

Pardon? This is an English-only server

Ayy give her a bacta slushie she'll be aight

Such a drama queen, acting like she got stabbed three times 🙄🙄

[lucid glen]

https://tenor.com/view/swtor-the-old-republic-star-wars-sith-jedi-gif-23786712

[lucid glen]

Because it's brittle

[hidden lake]

(Yes that was my point, it's a shitty armor in other aspects)

[mint orbit]

Why u post dis

[lucid glen]

1. Satele is hot
2. Force push would disintegrate the full cortosis armour

[mint orbit]

What if it's because he only plated it? Alloys are also very popular in star wars

Malgus has cortosis armour?

[lucid glen]

No just cuz I wanted a Force push gif

[mint orbit]

Ohhh yeah I just realised what you meant oops

Push up against a wall would probably render it pretty shitty

[lucid glen]

The wiki says it's a brittle material, usually it's so rare you can't make full pieces of pure cortosis, they have to be laced

[mint orbit]

.

[lucid glen]

Tf is that

[mint orbit]

Entire armour of cortosis

That's what

Shadow trooper from Jedi Outcast

[lucid glen]

[mint orbit]

It never turned off sabers so maybe an alloy?

I mean it's legends af so I don't think it matters

[lucid glen]

Probably

Either way we can all agree SWT is dumb

[mint orbit]

Oh easily

It genuinely makes me laugh that the bro who wrote the fan film ending of "and it was all a dream" can talk even a single point of shit about acolytes writing lol

He acts like he knows better but has proven he doesn't

[lucid glen]

Full beskar armour like Din's would be more effective

[mint orbit]

Yeah I agree

[lucid glen]

Way more expensive and rare but at least it can hold up to physical attacks 🤓 ☝️

[mint orbit]

Imagine Vader's armour except beskar

Solo palpatine

[lucid glen]

Let's hope that shit isn't conductive 💀

[mint orbit]

OH FUCK LMAO

[lucid glen]

Bro would get fried instantly

[mint orbit]

Bro cooked the finest dish he's ever made.. and the critic was deathly allergic

[mint orbit]

Palpatine just charges up his static with his slippers and one shots bro

[lucid glen]

Yep it's basically just woven into the armour https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Cortosis-weave_armor?so=search

So Qimir was prolly using pure cortosis

[mint orbit]

Boom

Thanks for sharing the search

[obsidian basin]

nah she’s fine

[languid ice]

Yeah she received immediate medical attention

[obsidian basin]

yeah yord will be okay too he just had to take a quick nap

[mint orbit]

WILL YOU PEOPLE STOP TURNING REAL ARGUMENTS IN TO TROLL ONES 😭

Famdom is so joever

It's cooked

[mint orbit]

Finally some solid positive and funny acolyte content

Can we get a memorial built outside the Jedi Temple on Coruscant in honour of Jecki?

🐐

[lean shard]

dont make bad arguments then, SIMPUL' AS

[mint orbit]

Don't be media illiterate then

Even simpler

The information is all there to be digested, regardless if your angry tears make them hard to see

[lean shard]

sabine gets stabbed
everyone who has a brain goes "this is bullshit" because its bullshit, a lightsaber stab WILL fuck you up (plus qui-gon died)
NUH UH, SABINE LIVED BECAUSE UHHHH SHE WAS STABBED IN THE SIDE!
SHE RECIEVED IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION!!!!

[mint orbit]

Yet there was silence for the non Filoni project

Crazy that

[lean shard]

hey guess what

cal was the first time it happened in like forever

sabine was right after reva bullshit

[mint orbit]

Ah so the issue how many times

Maybe understand your own argument better

[lean shard]

no, relevancy

[lucid glen]

[mint orbit]

pure copium

[lean shard]

besides

whos to say i dont think cal is also bullshit?

[mint orbit]

Qui Gon also died because A) he wanted to tbh, force ghost training and what the force wills hello? B) no medical attention C) more center stab near multiple vital organs

[lean shard]

[mint orbit]

I said silence not what your opinion was

[lucid glen]

I like the qui-gon argument because bro survived for minutes after being stabbed directly in the chest but sabine should apparently die instantly

[mint orbit]

I have the qui gon argument

Surface level bullshit

[lean shard]

tons of glup shittos die instantly to lightsaber stabs

[mint orbit]

Exactly

We've seen the force take actions before lol

Who dies and when

Chirrut is a great example

[lean shard]

bro pulling out "the force works in mysterious ways" argument

[mint orbit]

Chirrut actually

Your desperation is showing

Address the argument or look dumb, your choice

[lean shard]

your honour, i murdered the victim because the lord works in mysterious ways

[lucid glen]

If you're condemning sabine not dying then you should also be prepared to condemn qui-gon for not dying instantly either

[mint orbit]

Based critical thinking

[lucid glen]

Ahsoka and Huyang were right behind them

[mint orbit]

Filoni haters could never

Nobody holding them back

Not miles from a ship

No laser gates

[lean shard]

jecki is alive then, stabbed in non vital areas ignore the upper chest part

[lucid glen]

Yet he lived through a whole duel

[mint orbit]

Jecki is dead as fuck and that's why she got stabbed 3 times in a clearly critical area

[lean shard]

2 were in the side

[lucid glen]

[mint orbit]

Holy bad faith

[lean shard]

[mint orbit]

Actually desperate

[lean shard]

i dont make the "stabbed in a non vital area! argiment

[lucid glen]

Plus nobody was coming back to heal her even if she somehow survived THREE stabs

[mint orbit]

You literally just did

When the person who does would never

Strawman tbh

[lean shard]

i think something is lost here

[mint orbit]

Your bitches

[lean shard]

cos im not being serious with that argument

[mint orbit]

Bad faith generally involves not being serious yea

[lean shard]

remember that savage was stabbed in non vital areas and he died almost instantly

[mint orbit]

For posterity too, I'm not saying it was a good scene. Purely that it makes sense in universe

It's lazy as fuck writing and screenplay

[lean shard]

sabine?

just making it clear

[mint orbit]

The scene of her being stabbed yea

[lean shard]

https://tenor.com/view/armstrong-armstrong-handshake-gif-24880361

then we are in agreement

[mint orbit]

Give her a scar or something. Use an actual star wars cliché not a generic writing trope

[lean shard]

cut off her hand

[mint orbit]

HE STABBED HER!!!

But not actually

🙂

[lucid glen]

He was also some weird magic abomination, who knows how that fucked with his physiology

[lean shard]

mad him tougher

[lucid glen]

Does bro even have non-vital organs???

[mint orbit]

Maybe it's like antman or a balloon

And it's basically fake mass

You don't know

[lean shard]

nah its real

just when the magic goes away he shrinks

[mint orbit]

POV you just stabbed savage with a pencil

[lucid glen]

https://tenor.com/view/with-a-pencil-john-wick-scary-scared-pencil-gif-16042376

[mint orbit]

I'm so glad someone did it

[sour goblet]

here's an idea

maybe it doesn't matter where they got stabbed

maybe if they survive or not is dependent on whats best for the narrative

savage and qui-gon died bc their deaths drove the narrative

sabine and reva and cal survived bc their survival drove the narrative

and maybe you can suspend your disbelief for a minute to realize "oh the author/content was signifying that they were injured in a way that might or might not be lethal (they were stabbed with a lightsaber near center of mass), and I'm just nitpicking as to where, exactly, they got stabbed"

[jade pelican]

Jecki went out like a true warrior just like Qui-Gon

i kinda doubt qimir will survive by the end of the season too, i’m more interested in seeing who trained him really

has anyone confirmed s2s existence?

I love no plot armor

yord was actually my most liked character regardless of what he said outside the film 😂

yes very

[ivory sedge]

I really want them to do more stories in this time period but Disney might not take another risk like this considering all the negative press. I hope I'm wrong

Being outside of the Skywalker Saga for the first time in canon is fun

[mint orbit]

For sure, I think it's really benefitting from not needing to have any characters we know in it

[lean shard]

do a season 2 and cancel ahsoka s2

[mint orbit]

We can tell it makes a difference because of what happened when Mundi showed up lol

[ivory sedge]

Yh I get what u mean

[ivory sedge]

I thought ahsoka s2 was just gonna become the thrawn Filoni movie

[lean shard]

nah

we have to suffer woth both

[ivory sedge]

Damn, I guess we gon see

[mint orbit]

When is the trapper wolf cameo in acolyte

[lean shard]

i just know hes gonna put ventress in it
he better not mess up woth her

What about Glup Shitto

FILONI IF YOU DO THIS, MY LIFE IS YOURS

[mint orbit]

No glup Shitto then riot

[ivory sedge]

He's the sith master ofc

The timeline makes sense now

[ivory sedge]

I've waited 54 years for live action ventress

I'll be damned if I have to wait another day

[lean shard]

nah he'd mess her up

[mint orbit]

No live action

Do not trust

[lean shard]

dave filoni doesnt understand morally grey characters

[mint orbit]

What

Bendu

[languid ice]

Is ventress even morally grey

[lean shard]

i dont think he wrote the episode

[mint orbit]

He made the character

He told the writers what the character would say

He told them what does and doesn't work

[lean shard]

will save a kid by cutting off a guys arm and then telling the kids to go stab people in self defense

[languid ice]

Yeah thats just wholesome

[mint orbit]

I think Ventress is just mostly apathetic with the very occasional want to do something good

[lean shard]

damn i guess i better shit on george lucas for ahsokas character in ahsoka then

[mint orbit]

She's not evil, just doesn't give a fuck

[mint orbit]

God what Filoni is responsible for is just whatever the fuck you want it to be isn't it

[languid ice]

Ahsoka wasnt even daves idea

It was georges

[lean shard]

thats the point im making

carter goes "well he made the character" in regards to bendu

so im saying under that logic, i should blame george lucas for ahsoka in ahsoka

[mint orbit]

"Filoni oversaw the show so it's his fault!!"
"Filoni didn't even do anything for Bendu..."

Pick one

[lean shard]

i never said he didnt

i questioned if he wrote the episode

[mint orbit]

It blows my mind how you can't understand the writer knows nothing about the character Filoni created

He needs to be told who the character is before they can write for them

The morally grey things he says (and well) don't exist without Filoni

[lean shard]

my comment was "filomi cant write morally grey characters" correct?

[mint orbit]

Stop changing your words

[lean shard]

my bad

[languid ice]

Memecope

[lean shard]

memeL

[mint orbit]

Filoni is not an amazing writer, and I don't trust him to write a morally grey character from fresh

Let's say that so we can agree

[lean shard]

also hold up for a second

was bendu morally grey or force alignment grey?

im not rewatching rebels

[languid ice]

Both i guess

[mint orbit]

Morally imo. It was presented as the force but he basically tells Kanan "lol idgaf it's your problem bro"

[lean shard]

idk tho yoda says the same shit ngl

[mint orbit]

"An object cannot make you good, or evil. The temptation of power, forbidden knowledge, even the desire to do good can lead some down that path. But only you can change yourself."

Aka "stop being dumb it's just a box with some mumbo jumbo in it. Fix your shit bro."

I'd say it's a bit of both and leaning towards just the force greyness after reading all the quotes

[lean shard]

he sounds lazy ngl

[mint orbit]

A little yea

More out of apathy than lack of motivation tho

He seems sick of everyone's shit

"both the presidential candidates suck so I'm not voting"

[lean shard]

apathy?

(possible kreia reference)

[mint orbit]

She speak da tru tru!!!

Are there not more options?

[mint orbit]

No not really

I meannn.....

Depends how this show finishes

Not that the fandom menace would let her anyway

[obsidian basin]

[obsidian basin]

i mean the shows not over yet, and from what i’ve seen people are starting to enjoy the show more thanks to episode 5 alone, so i hope it only goes further up from here

first half for setting everything up, second half to get people excited by either action sequences or teases to something bigger

as much as i like clones and rebels i’d like to see more force related stuff like the acolyte in the future, so i guess we can only wait

[mint orbit]

With hopefully a well paid off reveal 🤞 all that would make it an 8/10 imo

More likely to be 7, and if they flop then I think it's a 6

[obsidian basin]

only time will tell

[white kindle]

Huh

How is a link to a news article prohibited?

[mint orbit]

They're all prohibited until manually adjusted

Hence why I screenshot the journalist name, the headline, a picture and the URL bar up top

That way someone can easily Google keywords to find the article if they want a source

[ivory sedge]

I feel like even if the show has the most shakesepearean, westworld s1, succession, game of thrones s1-s4 level storytelling for the remaining eps...

It's not gonna be enough to change the minds of the negative fans

It'll only be appreciated by people who are already fans of the show and people who haven't seen the show or engaged online

Im not expecting a masterpiece, but a solid landing would be great

For reals

There was some who opened more after episode 5 but they also continued spouting the dribble rhetoric soooo

Surely show us a few of those comments

Btw, in legends pure cortosis has the ability to shorten out lightsabers.

And it's appeared in the canon book Thrawn: Alliances.

Ah great

SW fans don't attack others for having an opinion challenge (impossible)

[mint orbit]

That was a fucking depressing read

I asked to see it on my cousin's phone and I was scrolling like:
"Wrong."
"Been a thing for years."
"It's also in legends."
"Wrong."
"Surprisingly based."
"Wrong."
"Been a thing for years."

[lucid glen]

And when you ask them to explain their shit opinion all they can do is respond with soyjacks

Because there's nothing of substance there in the first place

[mint orbit]

What a fucking joke lmao. I watched the TLJ discourse live and I've never seen star wars fans be so fucking desperate to hate a show episode by episode

[mint orbit]

No literally tho

[white kindle]

I am lucky to not have a twitter account

[silver marsh]

I’m sorry head butting a lightsaber is the coolest shit ever and if you complain about it you should stop watching Star Wars

[languid ice]

Me when i'm in a star wars hating competition and my opponent is a sw fan

[lament peak]

They made star wars woke by headbutting lightsabers

[lucid glen]

I doubt they're fans lol

[mint orbit]

They claim they are, but they haven't enjoyed it in nearly a decade lol

"I'm a fan.... Of 15% of star wars"

[languid ice]

I know a guy who only likes andor and the ot

[mint orbit]

Who the fuck comes to star wars for exclusively high quality media

I hate to say but that screams fake fan to me lmao. How can you like a franchise if you only like that little of it? You just like those movies and Andor lol

[lucid glen]

OT 💀

Wait till bro realises the OT is mid too

[mint orbit]

OT elitists when I point out how many flaws ROTJ has despite following up a huge franchise success and a larger budget

Nearly double the budget btw

[lucid glen]

I got warned and muted in another server for calling someone who made possibly the dumbest acolyte criticism yet a "donkey" 💀

Sometimes I'm glad for this server and the leeway it gives

[hidden lake]

It's nice to have

[mint orbit]

They actually moderate and yet don't overmoderate

[mint orbit]

What was the criticism btw

[lucid glen]

It's a real doozy

The Jedi fighting Qimir had blue lightsabers so according to lore from KOTOR, they should be guardians and thus not die so easily

[mint orbit]

I can't even begin to dissect that

Because it would take so long covering each error

[lucid glen]

Yeah same so I just called him a donkey and was done with it 💀

[languid ice]

He seems to say esb is flawless

I think he doesnt like rotj because of how easily the ewoks beat the empire

You don't have to lie or create unfair comparisons to come to that conclusion

[hot parrot]

Im not lying

[mint orbit]

General you.

[hot parrot]

you got professionals all around shitting on the show

[white kindle]

yeah

[mint orbit]

Alec Guinness shit on ANH and it became the biggest franchise of all time

Professionals are dumb sometimes

[hot parrot]

Oh god here we go again with Alec Guinness

it was in the fucking 70s

It was not Disney behind it

[mint orbit]

❄️

Relax broseph

[white kindle]

here's a good example

[hot parrot]

Remember the Leia chase

[mint orbit]

Why not compare acolyte to andor

Lol

An actually fair comparison

[white kindle]

The Witcher has a budget of approx $300 million. A movie with a similar budget is Avengers Infinity War.

actually nvm

change that to Age of Ultron

for the sake of the comment

the movie was received poorly by critics, whereas the show was received well

[hot parrot]

Such a miss for Ultron

That casting was 10/10

[white kindle]

fs

[mint orbit]

My guess is acolyte had some reshoots and jumbling around. The episode before the sith showed up had shoddy editing

[white kindle]

but in terms of story there is definitely a quality difference

[mint orbit]

Hot take: Ultron is as good as The Avengers but we had never got The Avengers before

Yeah I said it

[white kindle]

afaik

[hot parrot]

The vibe was too "fun". Remember how the first trailer was dark and creepy ?

[mint orbit]

What

[white kindle]

yeah

what what

[mint orbit]

The Avengers is dark and creepy..?

[hot parrot]

Nah

The first trailer for Ultron

[mint orbit]

Bros listening to marketing again

Trust me, the entire media industry becomes more compelling when you stop listening to marketing

They're so far detached from the story teams

[white kindle]

it's literally one of the major reasons the film was received so poorly

[mint orbit]

Bf2 story mode too

[hot parrot]

Yeah i get that; but I think they should have kept that creepy vibe for the movie and make Ultron a lot more scarrier

[mint orbit]

Something we all understand

[white kindle]

eh

ig

[mint orbit]

Yeah Ultron as a character is wasted

I won't deny that

Bro is meant to be thanos level

[hot parrot]

BF2 was bait

[mint orbit]

By marketing

Yea

[hot parrot]

"Yeah guys, you play as the Empire now ! So Cool right ?"

[mint orbit]

And you did

Marketing just focused on what would sell

[hidden lake]

Compiling all that into one movie was
A decision

[white kindle]

... for 5 missions

[mint orbit]

They didn't give a fuck what the story team thought

[hot parrot]

Thats pretty much the biggest issue with Star Wars. Corpos really think people will buy anything with star wars stamped on it

and they are almost right

[white kindle]

fax

[mint orbit]

Yep. They knew people wanted an imp campaign, and despite DICE only wanting to make a short part of the story... Marketing went hard on that angle because...

[hot parrot]

DICE didnt want to make a full on bad guy campaign ?

[mint orbit]

Doesn't seem like it

[hidden lake]

And the one game that has an imp campaign
Nobody played

(Squadrons)

[white kindle]

which sucks

cuz that was a decent campaign

[mint orbit]

Hmmm, depending on your outlook.. this could either be proving my point wrong, or proving that marketing told them to say this

I'm honestly leaning towards I might be wrong lol. Still closed door stuff we may never know, like if EA forced them to be more light sided or if Lucasfilm changed their mind or if DICE themselves decided against it

Can't find a single DICE quote honestly, it's all Lucasfilm or companies near to DICE

[hot parrot]

My issue was just the dumb switch Iden does. The girl was daughter of a high ranked Imperial. She received a full on imperial education, join the army, became the teamleader of a special force squad and yet She decide to switch side because suddenly "empire bad" ?

But seeing that Paola Jouyaux was former Ubisoft

I can understand a few thing

[mint orbit]

Why are people so disingenuous with their bf2 criticisms for imperial campaign

She did all that and the empire STILL attacked vardos. One of the most safe and peaceful empire planets in the galaxy

THAT makes your perspective shift

That being said, Del's turn was just as fast and yet far more believable

[hot parrot]

No it doesnt. She probably did terrible things all of her life in the name of the empire. Yeah she have doubts, She could have just left the empire. But joining the rebels ? The people who killed many friends of her along the years

its stupid

And it was clearly written by someone with 0 clue on the mentality of people in the military

If we talk about Del or even Finn. Yeah they were random dudes that got enlisted so the swap side is credible

but Iden. She was heavily brainwashed

If i remember iden's mother was a propaganda artist or something like that

[mint orbit]

RAAAAAGHHHH THIS MISSION HAS S TIER WRITING

We need more of this Grandmaster Luke and we need it NOW

[hot parrot]

Yeah Luke scenes were kino

No arguing on that

[mint orbit]

I think people underestimate how much more believable Del's turn is

The issue was the quality of writing, not that there wasn't any on the wall

[hot parrot]

Maybe they could have done a double campaign with either continuing on the empire with Iden, or leave with the rebellion playing Del

[mint orbit]

Okay now you're cooking with gas...

Great way to have character dissections, nuanced outlooks on both factions and interesting character interactions when they cross paths

[hot parrot]

Remember, like Splinter Cell Conviction. If I remember right you could do the game from the bad or good side

Honestly that could have been cool for BF2

[mint orbit]

Definitely a shame how much wasted potential BF2 campaign had

I won't ever deny that

Oh and as a final note, the Inferno squad novel showed Iden having mild doubt when on those said missions due to the brutality. And this novel was released BEFORE the campaign so you can't say it's retconning.. it just should have been included in the game LOL

[white kindle]

that novel was great

[mint orbit]

Remember how they cried that Mundi's age was different in Canon from Legends but Cortosis destroys lore despite being in both Legends and Canon already

What a fucking joke

So many bullshit criticisms

[hidden lake]

Are they the same people though

[mint orbit]

No of course not, but it shows the issue is not exactly acolyte if there's so many different sects of opinion

If acolyte was as bad as they say, there should be common topics across all of the people

Plus acolytes viewing figures.. this all makes a great case for completely ignoring discourse around a show and just making whatever you wanna make from start to finish

The fandom is so fucking cooked

[silver marsh]

Evil SW fans never truly die

[lean shard]

smh bot

fine i'll copy paste the impirtant part

So much of Qimir was understanding how to use your body and not just standing there in a suit or being encumbered by a suit. We were like, “We have to get him in something flowy.” As soon as I said he didn’t have armor, everyone lost their mind. “How can you not have armor?” I was like, “Why would you wear armor if you’re not going to get hit?” It’s like the Elden Ring costume. The Elden Bling. When you summon people, you always summon the people that aren’t wearing anything, and it’s like, “These people are fucking crazy.”

https://tenor.com/view/elden-ring-goty-radahn-forcefield-blown-away-gif-27609261

ELDEN RING MENTION RAAAGGGHHHH

[warped python]

who are the evil fans ?

[silver marsh]

“Star Wars is dead and Disney can’t make anything decent anymore” (proceeds to watch every single new Star Wars product for the sole reason of finding more reasons to get mad about Star Wars)

Also the people who send death threats over a TV show

[silver marsh]

These are more the annoying “fans”

[silver marsh]

These are the evil ones

[white kindle]

https://tenor.com/view/kermit-kermit-the-frog-its-not-easy-being-mean-meme-evil-smile-gif-16221585

[warped python]

well viewership has dropped immensely

they stood on business 😭

i feel like the people that are still watching it and criticizing it just wanna know where this story goes like SW Theory no matter how mid it is lol

[lean shard]

says who?

[warped python]

https://variety.com/h/most-watched-streaming-originals-movies-tv-shows/

[lean shard]

viewership has dropped immensely
11%

https://tenor.com/view/funny-hahaha-gif-22505124

do you know what "immensely" means?

[warped python]

https://m.imdb.com/title/tt12262202/episodes?ref_=tt_eps_sm

[silver marsh]

I’m not talking about the people who say “this show sucks” and then just don’t watch it I don’t have beef with them my problem is with the people who continue hate watching it and complaining loudly about how bad it is

[warped python]

each episode the viewership dropped then ep 5 bumped it by a good notch lol

[silver marsh]

People who watch the episodes in slow motion looking for things to get mad about are deranged

[warped python]

11 percent is fairly decent bro what are you talking about it went from 3rd to 9th damn near tied with Bridgeton szn 1😭

[lean shard]

no, 11% is average if not below

e.g iirc ahsoka viewership dropped a good 3rd

[silver marsh]

Im just waiting for Star Wars to die already

[warped python]

it maybe average but that " average 11 percent " dropped it in rating badly to 9th

[lean shard]

lete of course just ignore other shows coming out

[warped python]

...this year and were pushing half way into the season

[lean shard]

9th this year

this year

mf the shows been out for a month

[warped python]

theyre only 10 spots showcasing all the top originals that have currently been out as of now what more do you want to be proven that they lost their spot from 3rd to 9th💀

because of critics, viewership, and story telling

[lean shard]

critics rated it highly

85% on RT?

[mint orbit]

There's strong reason to believe acolyte is doing very well. Sure the viewing figures are slowing down, but to pretend it's impending doom is pretty naive. Then again, you've always sucked at making your arguments because these sources say a whole load of nothing lol

[mint orbit]

Wait wait wait did rick grimes seriously link the review bombed imdb link

The one where people review bombed it before it was even physically possible to have finished more than half the episode?

That one?

[lucid glen]

Lmao Headland quote?

[mint orbit]

Ai searching is gonna make me so lazy gah damn

[warped python]

I dont argue with you guys, yall just get so butt hurt about what I say 💀 and i truly don't care because again the internet is free and I already cant send photos about my statement so hopefully the link helps to point to the source rightly so

[mint orbit]

Thanks for proving my point your arguments suck lol

NOOOO YOURE ALL JUST BUTTHURT

[warped python]

what arguments ?!😭
define arguments lmao

[mint orbit]

When you post a source to counter someone's point. That is a counter argument

When you post evidence or persuasive writing to project your point.. that is an argument

[hot parrot]

The press coverage is a disaster tho

[mint orbit]

I just want the leaked viewership numbers for all the D+ shows

[warped python]

never have I cohesively argued with anyone all I have done was just appoint information ~not disagreeing and or agreed with anyone.. how about you scroll up to all my past conversations and see for yourself 😭

[mint orbit]

We're all shooting in the dark

[hot parrot]

We will never get it, the same way Netflix never communicate about it

[mint orbit]

I said leaked for a reason buddy

Part of the leak already exists

More to come

[hot parrot]

But the show still has potential imo , even with the rocky start

[mint orbit]

Finally you're coming round after episode 5 lmao

Almost like I've been saying that since episode 1

[hot parrot]

Bcs it was very boring and dull until the sith showed up

[mint orbit]

So was ahsoka

[hot parrot]

Yes

[mint orbit]

They literally both got better at the exact same episode count

Simple context clues will inform your takes

[lean shard]

no because ahsoka only got better at episode 6

[mint orbit]

@lean shard can u send me that leak

[lean shard]

as episode 5 was filler

[lean shard]

they didnt share it unfortunately

[mint orbit]

Bruhh we had this discussion before

You sent it to zombini

Give it to me

Ffs

[hidden lake]

They only shared reach percentages for june

[lean shard]

^

[mint orbit]

And I want to see that

[lean shard]

just post the images zombini idc

[mint orbit]

Also I found this, someone turbo nerded everything Disney has ever said about their shows lol

[hidden lake]

Obviously there's more but I filtered out the non SW stuff

[mint orbit]

Okay now it makes sense why there's no articles about this lol

Kinda hard to digest it in to a discussion

[hot parrot]

I just realized Shogun was made by Disney

fucking lmao

[mint orbit]

I love how Disney only said how big the launch for Kenobi was LOL. Probably because you royally screwed your golden goose

[thin depot]

||They killed Kelnacca offscreen?!?! ||

[mint orbit]

Yes as a twist

I quite liked it tbh. Really added to my fear of the guy about to show up

And that whole reveal sequence is incredible

[thin depot]

Well yeah there is that, but I really wanted to see the wookiee fight

Though these fights going on rn are top tier

Actual good fight choreography

[mint orbit]

I called it PT level and I will not rescind my statement 💅

Shits all over Ahsoka, that's for sure

[thin depot]

Yeah it is honestly well done

[thin depot]

Didnt Ahsoka have good choreography as well though?

[mint orbit]

It had both. Some swings looked rough, some looked great. Hayden looked great, Rosario didn't. Stuff like that

Whereas Acolyte never missed

[thin depot]

I remember at least Ahsokas duels against Anakin and Baylan being good

[mint orbit]

baylan did some rough swings

It brought me out of it sometimes

[thin depot]

Hmm, I should rewatch it tbh

[mint orbit]

Don't forget this is relative

It's still a good duel

Acolyte is just consistent in quality

[thin depot]

Holy fuckin shit ||Jecki just fuckin died||

[mint orbit]

Like a boss too

Finish the episode then come here, trust

Deserved to be enjoyed in it's entirety

[thin depot]

Roger that

[thin depot]

What the fuck this show actually good

Like yeah, some weird dialogue and weird acting, but overall im enjoying it

[mint orbit]

Can you believe people cried about Cortosis (the saber disabling armour)

The things that been in both legends and canon for like two decades

Classic "this fucking sucks actually"

[thin depot]

Like, it was literally the coolest thing ever

Just headbutting a ligthsaber

[mint orbit]

Right???

AND it wasn't plot armour

Like it breaks in multiple ways

It clearly needs repaired everytime he uses it too because it's in such disrepair

[hot parrot]

Truly a trubo dumb argument lmao

Actually show the people who are used to star wars and those who don't

[mint orbit]

I'm glad you can see that

It was implemented so well in this show too, there's no reason to cry but people are desperate to find one

And in an episode with next to zero misses... It's gonna look desperate

[hot parrot]

Yeah, honestly it was cool to seeCortosis again. And it was quite a surprise, nice idea from the writers. And the way he aggressively fight, fit the character

Last time i heard about Cortosis was in jedi knight 2

[hidden lake]

I hope these next episodes can follow up well

[hot parrot]

so everytime i see someone complain about it, its clearly coming from someone with a very limited star wars knowledge

[mint orbit]

I saw multiple people saying this proves Disney shit all over star wars lore lol

Like bruh you have so many points to focus on and you make up that bs 🗿

[white kindle]

I think I saw a comment just like that one the other day

and it was on a video surrounding the Cortosis topic

[hot parrot]

its a dead giveaway imo

[silver marsh]

Hey guys is Star Wars dead yet

[white kindle]

nah

fk whoever said it is

[silver marsh]

Ok maybe next time

[white kindle]

https://tenor.com/view/umm-um-ummm-ummok-puppet-gif-17038634

[mint orbit]

Yeah. They added Cortosis so clearly doesn't respect star wars!!!!! (It's been in legends for two decades and canon for almost one)

[silver marsh]

Oh ok

[obsidian basin]

this disappointed me heavily, only reason i just realised it now was because of qimir

shame that

[warped python]

A writer said it would break the pov of the story showing that fight so they cut it out sadly

[mint orbit]

And they're correct

Made for a seriously compelling reveal

I care more about that than wojak pointing at a wookiee

[languid ice]

Let's hope they dont drop the ball next ep

Like i gitta be honest though, i dont really care for oshas and maes characters

look i hate journalists but he cooked with that statement

[mint orbit]

He absolutely did

That even looks like a Filoni monologue

[warped python]

I hope we dont get a happy ending

[mint orbit]

I mean they've killed off how many people?

It's already not happy lol

[obsidian basin]

its disney starwars

theres going to be a happy ending

what am i saying lmao the fact that its disney is irrelevant, star wars usually has a good ending, cant think of a bad ending off the top of my head

rogue one maybe?

[mint orbit]

Bro typed all that just to realise Rogue one existed lol

[obsidian basin]

yeah right but what else

[mint orbit]

TCW has a majorly depressing ending too

Bad Batch had tech die

You haven't even thought about this

[obsidian basin]

sad things happen all the time its war lmfao

people die things get destroyed

[mint orbit]

Holy cope

[obsidian basin]

did you forget the bad batches ending?

[mint orbit]

Bro took the goal post and threw it to the moon

[obsidian basin]

8/9 times out of 10 its a happy ending

[mint orbit]

So like every franchise and company

[obsidian basin]

https://tenor.com/view/judging-stare-bored-dont-you-dare-annoyed-gif-22904796

ive always been advocating for a genuinely sad or scary ending in star wars

[mint orbit]

Happy endings have been shoe horned in to franchises for decades

[lament peak]

[obsidian basin]

YOOOOO i didnt know this

shit my bad

[lament peak]

Acolyte should end with an R-rated hallway scene with darth smilo

[mint orbit]

"and you wanna make everything dark and sinister whyyy"

[lament peak]

Thatd be peak!

[mint orbit]

Most based Filoni moment

[lament peak]

And vader shows up

[obsidian basin]

BECAUSE ITS BETTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lament peak]

The next bad guy should be called darth dark

[obsidian basin]

please lord give me a star wars horror movie/show

[lament peak]

And his lightsaber is black... because its scary

i want unfathomable abominations from the sw universe

(it will never happen)

[mint orbit]

Bad intentions

Bro wants to terrify kids

[warped python]

am i tripping or could the death star destroy the rebel fleet lol 😭

in rogue one

[radiant canyon]

I think it's like in ROTJ

Picking them off one by one

[hidden lake]

Which wasn't necessary because of Vader

[radiant canyon]

Because much like ROTJ the Rebels didn't know what it did at first

Element of surprise for a massive weapon, also like the Malevolence

[warped python]

but vader showed up like right at the end lmao

[radiant canyon]

And JUST like the Malevolence it got effed up because a single ship managed to escape

[warped python]

yes exactly like that 😂

[obsidian basin]

i want to terrify the audience*

kids don’t have to watch the sw horror movie

what age ratings are for

(very disappointing that it will never happen)

[mint orbit]

I bet they'd hide the star wars in the title in case kids watched it lol

[mortal reef]

these little guys are ruining my star war!!!!!

[lean shard]

alright i get it

hes the failed apprentice who wants to make his own rule of two for revenge

[mortal reef]

yee

tenebrous comes out on top once again

tis also a possibility that Vernestra may have been Qimir's master at some point when he was a padawan, the scar seems like something a lightwhip can do

[vagrant scarab]

my opinion on this episode. kina underwhelming but the lightwhip is cool and im sure that plauguis has something to do with this

[lean shard]

its not a burn wound

[hidden lake]

I think they're cooking
But there's only 2 more episodes to go iirc?

[lean shard]

i've also seen someone suggest that quimir was actually sol's apprentice or something but was betrayed by him, and the whole witch cult thing was covered up by implanted memories which is how quimir knows about it and why he wears the helmet

||>Osha is seduced to the dark side by Qimir

Qimir takes her as his acolyte, their relationship is explicitly romantic
Mae forgives Sol after he tells his side of the story
Osha betrays Sol after Qimir tells her Sol planted false memories in the twins to cover up the Jedi slaughtering the Witches for practicing Sith magic
Vernestra finds the bodies of the Jedi and stops the investigation without discovering the Sith
Sol is confronted by Osha and impales him through the heart
final scene is Qimir meeting with his master||

just wanna note that this was posted before the episode came out

[hidden lake]

These are leaks?

[lean shard]

idk

source is 4chan so take with a grain of salt

[hidden lake]

||Well it could go in this trajectory given this episode.||

[lean shard]

but yeah, it looks like this whole series of events wont be getting back to ki-adi-mundi lol

[hidden lake]

We're back

[lean shard]

only sol and osha heard him say "sith"

and, well
osha is with quimir

and sol has fucked off

vernestra and the jedi are like "hmmmmmmm maybe a jedi turned"

[jade pelican]

@hidden lake Still Peakolyte or we back to midolyte?

[hidden lake]

Bit of a backburner but leaves you hooked still

[lean shard]

backburner episode after the big hits of last episode was a good idea

[warped python]

yo Sol is pissing me off bro like just say what you need to say 😭🙏🏽

[lucid glen]

Whats with everyone assuming Qimir is an apprentice

Maybe he's just the master like the show has been fucking saying

[jade pelican]

Yeah bro he’s that guy

[languid ice]

He clearly is dawg

this episode wasn't too bad

it was slow and a little boring but it's good to have it before more interesting stuff next ep

Theory

[hidden lake]

What is bro doing

[lean shard]

he couldnt find a reason to complain so just went on about ki-adi-mundi again

[white kindle]

actually??

it'd make sense for ||Qimir's master to be Vernestra. The scars on his back do kinda look like whip scars, and it wouldn't make sense for it to be a regular lightsaber.||

[lucid glen]

Oh is there a clue or something in the new ep, I haven't seen it yet

[white kindle]

what is bro waffling about

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDSLeONSQ1k

[lucid glen]

Bait used to be believable

[white kindle]

ikr

since when was the man gay?

the show's biggest blunder would be not making its central two characters actually interesting

imo

[white kindle]

out of all the comments so far, only these two are doing the old "bad show because..." rant

[lean shard]

just seemed like a bit of an inept padawan, but it looks like he's on the mission as he has psychometry

[white kindle]

agreed

has anyone looked at much of the fanbase's reaction surrounding this episode?

we should make a checklist as to what we think people will dislike

[lean shard]

"its slow"

/"its filler"

[white kindle]

bruh

um

this thing that Qimir said contradicts canon 🤓 ☝️

[lean shard]

theres nothing in the episode that would annoy anyone so at mist you'll get the most extreme bad faith nitpicks

[warped python]

That gay guy is from the walking dead

he chill asf

[white kindle]

looks like it

is he actually gay?

[warped python]

yes

[lean shard]

no hes just bri'ish

[warped python]

but idk if his star wars character is

[white kindle]

though I assume the commenter might have meant it as an insult slightly

cuz we never get that implication about the character

[lean shard]

acolyte actually paying attention to the books raaagggghhhh

(filoni could never)

now i dont read the HR books so i dont know if vernestra has psychometry, but it seems like the padawan does

as he describes the scene in detail when prompted to

which, would match with established lore unlike dave "ahsoka now has a force power that cant be trained" filoni

[white kindle]

that plus the sound effects were done in a similar way to when Ahsoka used the ability in episode 6

[lean shard]

so yeah, another W for acolyte

[white kindle]

indeed

that part was pretty cool

[lean shard]

wouldve been a handy force power to use if you were accused of murder or something ahsoka

[thin depot]

Qimirs kinda hot tho

Ngl

[white kindle]

dude

[lean shard]

besides, she also has force visions so there is the basis that she can sense stuff a bit, but the padawan knows more

[white kindle]

?

what do you mean by she has force visions?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZ0eeodmZtA

bro

[thin depot]

Huh?

[white kindle]

I wouldn't recommend watching any more than the first 30 seconds of this

this is stoopid

[thin depot]

Yeah, who doesnt wanna see hot dark side characters

[white kindle]

apparently Osha was only shown as a naturally good person before this episode

and then that core aspect is changed in one of her convos with Qimir

idk

this review seems like it could be reasonable but the title suggests otherwise

[lean shard]

google it, its the whole hyperspace thing mentioned in the episode

https://tenor.com/view/the-voices-meme-cat-gif-23917781

[warped python]

A truly unexpected scene 😂

but how is that even sexual lol he put his cloths back on kinda fast thoe

[lean shard]

fellas is it sexual to take a bath?

[white kindle]

dude

someone in a discord server I'm in posted this image with a clown emoji

[languid ice]

Erm its never been said it cant be trained

[lean shard]

fallen order

[languid ice]

Whats the quote

[lean shard]

play thr game

[languid ice]

I did

Meme L

[lean shard]

huh?

thats literally proving me right

[hidden lake]

Psychometry was not a power that could be achieved through careful cultivation, as only those that were born with the power could use it

The power did not always manifest directly at birth

So in theory Ahsoka was born with it but it didn't register until she was much, much older

I guess

[languid ice]

Doesnt mean she cant have gotten it later in life

Meme L

[lean shard]

or, maybe, just maybe

its a retcon

because filoni doesnt care about anything that he wasnt involved with

[hidden lake]

Ok
In this case
They could weave it and it wouldn't be a retcon

[lean shard]

also the example used has a guy getting it at 13, still pretty young

[hidden lake]

If nothing says otherwise
Then there's no problem.

[lean shard]

absense of evidence does not mean evidence of absense

literally the same cope argument filoni made regarding ahsoka dying before TRoS

everyone who speaks to rey is dead
therefor logical conclusion means ahsoka is too
nuh uh! nothing says she did!

everyone who has psychometry has it at birth or develops it young
therefor logical conclusion is that if ahsoka had it, we would have been shown that she had it already
nuh uh! nothing says that it only develops when you're young!

[lucid glen]

[languid ice]

Its not though

Why u wafflin

[lean shard]

why didnt ahsoka use it in TCW, ToTJ/her book or rebels?

[hidden lake]

Because she didn't have it
Going by what has been said so far
She just didn't have the ability yet

Until she was, at most, 45

[lean shard]

so its a retcon

There's a huge gap in time between rebels and Ahsoka

And maybe she got it there

[lucid glen]

Is that also when she lost all her character progression

[lean shard]

the classic dave filoni writing

have a contradiction or retcon and make the fans make assumptions to justify it

[hidden lake]

The contradiction and/or retcon of...

Nothing that has actually been stated de facto

It's not a recon tho lol

It's just a new thing she has

It doesn't change any of her past portrayals

[lean shard]

see my comment of: "eceryone else develops it young so going "n-no ahsoka just developed it late" is an assumption and a cope

[languid ice]

Fact of the matter is, she had the ability in ahsoka, and its been stated that people can develop it after birth, so it just happend but after rebels

And its not a retcon

[hidden lake]

Everyone else shown has developed it young ≠ It can only be developed young

How many users of the ability do we have right now

[languid ice]

5 at most

Maybe more

[hidden lake]

Not a high sample

[lean shard]

"out of all the characters to use it, they've all had it since young, except ahsoka" more like

[languid ice]

Copium

If you dont like ahsoka just say so

[lean shard]

i have, several tomes

times

[hidden lake]

I don't fully agree with Ahsoka having it too, but it doesn't contradict anything.

[lean shard]

your entie argument rests on "nothing says this cant happen" despite all the other evidence pointing the opposite

[languid ice]

There is none

[hidden lake]

That's less evidence and moreso confirmation bias. It leans towards developing younger but again, we have only 5 examples to go with, with nothing stating that it can't develop older.

[lean shard]

aside from every other character who uses it having it since young

[lean shard]

guys there are 5 jedi who are dead talking to rey, this is a low sample number so clearly ahsoka is alive

[hidden lake]

I hope she's fucking not

[lean shard]

you damn well know that if shes dead, shes a force ghost

[lucid glen]

I think the fact that ahsoka hasn't died might be the reason she's alive......

Just a hunch.........

[lean shard]

still 20 years til TRoS

[lucid glen]

And togruta can live as long as canon wants them to

[lean shard]

i think they actually have an age limit in canon tho

which is like what, 150?

[lucid glen]

So yeah she's alive

[lean shard]

unless of course

[hidden lake]

I don't think they have one

In canon

[lean shard]

[hidden lake]

Wokiepedia doesn't have anything for it in the canon page

[lean shard]

i will write a small book for lucasfilm that says maximum lifespan is 60 years

[languid ice]

Cant wait to see ahsoka in the rey movies

[lean shard]

https://tenor.com/view/black-man-suit-gif-24830079

me and the boys showing up for the rey movie
(only if lumiya is the villain)

[white kindle]

what's the quote from the movies about a Jedi only using their weapon for defence?

[silver marsh]

A Jedi uses the force for knowledge and defense, never for attack

[white kindle]

yeah

[silver marsh]

Defense is a very broad category

[white kindle]

still

new episode be like

[white kindle]

I saw an Acolyte hater on Quora saying "he probably watched shutters the acolyte and thought those were actual rules for the Jedi." when talking about something related to the topic.

huh

[hot parrot]

another snoozefest episode

Qimir still cool tho

[white kindle]

I liked it more than the ep two weeks ago

[hot parrot]

I think you are on point

it's gonna be this

Her showing for the first time her saber and him, his scar in the same episode pretty much confirm it

• purple color

[lucid glen]

No saber fights = boring

[hot parrot]

just overextending scenes

[lucid glen]

I thought the parallels between mae and osha were cool in addition to qimir's manipulative tactics

[hot parrot]

like sol and mae

They could have given more backstory on Qimir

or Sol and the whole incident

either one

[lucid glen]

They gave enough without straight up explaining it

Sol's downfall is defo gonna happen

[hot parrot]

Sol scenes were great tho

The distress is palpable

[lucid glen]

I like how Vernestra and the nerd who went with her looked at the dead Jedi bodies and went "hmmm it must have been sol!"

[hot parrot]

peak detective skills

[lucid glen]

Jedi council try not to condemn the wrong person challenge

[lean shard]

deduce that it was one assailant vs many and one person is
A. no body
B. missing

literally a logical conclusion based on the information they have

[hot parrot]

Honestly, im still confused by how clueless the jedi are about dark side users

[lucid glen]

Sol of all people

Who vernestra supposedly knew for a long time

He prolly did some dark shit in the past which the show is clearly alluding to but the instant blame on him is crazy

[lean shard]

the padawan suggests it and she shuts him up

[lucid glen]

I thought he suggested that it was a generic dark Jedi

[lean shard]

"you dont think master sol...?"
