@@TheWhyWing true
They really made Plagueis a creepy crawler bro 💀
L episode, and great video as always keep it up man
Thanks! Appreciate all of you watching
Bro smh
Sad but true: They DIDN'T care enough to bury the bodies. If the choices are: 1.) Vernestra actress, Rebecca Henderson get's to provide yet another wooden, but payday/career moment-inducing acting moment where she can valiantly look into camera right and say, "Prepare the bodies for burial..." 2.) No one cared to want to do anything with the bodies of the 8+ dead Jedi/Padawans. Someone in the creative process watches the tape where Vernestra walks off set in a complete uncaring fashion to a gawking Personal Assistant Male Jedi Secretary watching and says "we should likely have Vernstra say something about collecting the bodies" - and they ADR it after the fact. If presented with the options, an actress would NEVER pick 2. The only reason that 2 was used, is because it wasn't originally there. The other pieces of uncaring showcase is that - SOL, would just LEAVE THE BODIES/SABERs etc un-investigated, and leave? Trash-writing and a clear sense of no-one-gives-a-shit.
I actually didn't notice the ADR'd line until after someone else pointed out but once it's been pointed out you can CLEARLY tell that the burying the bodies line is recorded on a different mic.
You'll love this one: I've always HATED the word "Cortosis" - that is since I heard it mentioned from some STAR WARS Lore Specialists after episode 5 was issued - since the Writer's couldn't be bothered to write in a couple of lines in anywhere in the previous 4 episodes. You may as well call the material inside the helmet/gauntlet/whatever else Vegemite. Just a terrible selection but - it's deep-canon, sure. That being said: "The suffix -osis is used in nouns to denote actions, conditions, or states1. It is used to indicate a condition, status, process, whether normal or diseased, or sometimes an increase"... If now Darth Joker and Osha are "courting" then Cortosis fits their paradigm PERFECTLY.
Thanks for all of the input. I really appreciate how engaged you were with the whole video!
@@TheWhyWing - no, thank YOU! You took the time to watch it (at least ONCE :) ) and crafted the thing! I'm glad to provide the time. Cheers, dude!
Disney+ Bonus Content Idea: How about Disney conjures a series of shorts, where we can see the many ways that everyone's favorite giant beaver/ferret/muskrat/squirrel/prairie dog, Bazil, uses minimal language skills miming techniques to tell him - that "Osha*" is really Mae? THAT's something I'd be glad to be giving my subscription for.
Jecki's Age: Not only is Jecki's age in question, we can't even use the whole "she's of a different species" ticket because if she was MUCH older, then she'd have been too old to complete the training.
Osha's Lightsaber Wielding Abilities: They suck because she FAILED AS A JEDI. ;) If she can't even get threatening someone with it appropriately, can you imagine any training session with her? Ugh.
Getting to His Ship: Apparently you've forgotten - he can also LEVITATE. Check episode 4 where he descends from "above" behind Osha at the Battle of Kenacca's Stew.
I hate to break it to you, but you're correct on both fronts: 1.) Vernestra's actress, Rebecca Henderson, creator Leslye Headland's wife, is a TERRIBLE ACTRESS. If substantially searched, not only would knots be found, but when sawed in half magician-style, you could be able to clearly detect how many years she's been inflicting audiences with her performances. 2.) Vernestra IS the Big Bad. The reasons are many but - like Darth Joker's "reveal" - there just aren't any characters left because THEY'VE ALL BEEN KILLED in the first 1/2 of the series. Just dumb, dead-end, collect a paycheck and creator/writing/acting credits all the way 'round. Terrible.
The ship being faulty is the benefit of a syndrome in content creation called "#LuckyScript". Y'see - things happen, because the script needs it to. Each of The Acolyte scripts is SUPER #LuckyScript-filled.
Animating Lightsabers: With possibly the exception of "making them appear" and "disappear", and then some flair when they strike or are skewering someone, they're using lightsabers that likely don't need ANY animation of any kind. it's one of the benefits of the new-fangled, high-tech, easily acquired lightsabers that are likely used for ALL of these shows at this point. Wanna' save some money for those who are incrediblky budget-centric? Simply have the sound occur while on the shot of Darth Joker, then back to Osha with it fully "engorged" after putting the blade into the hilt of the saber. I hate that things are this simple, but - they really are.
A stupider movie trope, that this show does REGULARLY is: The last time Sol saw Darth Joker, he was being attacked/eaten by/carried off into the sky by giant moths (who apparently - eat human flesh? Right.) That's it. The reason? He too was stun gun'd by Mae on the planet's surface. He has NO IDEA that anything other than what he saw happened has happened. Mae surely wouldn't tell her (as Osha) that he's still alive. What's the benefit of that and better yet - she doesn't know either. Magically, because the AUDIENCE has seen that Darth Joker is still alive, suddenly Sol ALSO knows that he's alive and that he must be hunted and found. It's just more grand showcase of the creator, writer(s) and the people that greenlight this tripe clearly DO NOT CARE about what's shoveled out in the Content Assembly Line of Disney+.
Some of the stuff you say is nitpicking but I agree with most of it
Nitpicking would assume that there's a larger collective achievement at the END of all of this that's being overlooked and - I know I'm not breaking any new ground - but there isn't anything at the end of this rainbow, and certainly nothing gold. I tire quickly of people stating that "it's just a little thing" when referring to something that's just completely non-sensical. My favorite sample is: Mae is a confirmed, trained, seasoned, dark-force/thread-powered Assassin, who not only kills Jedi, but has now done it twice - once in public. The INSTANT she finds out that everyone's favorite giant beaver/ferret/muskrat/squirrel/prairie dog, Bazil, knew that HE knew that she wasn't Osha - she would/should have: 1.) Slit his throat with one of her many daggers 2.) Hid the body in any of the plenty of dark hiding spaces/hidey-holes in the ship To paint her in any other light (and especially NOT the sample of what happened here that was at-best, Nickelodean-like circus-music-featured tripe) is not only disingenuous, but LAZY for a program that's spending this much money for so little time/content provided. It's terrible, it's "small" sure - but when you start stacking on "the small things" it's eventually overbearing and instantly snaps the viewer out of the interest cone of wanting to take in the content.
@@2GuysTalkingPodcastNetwork he goes in hard on things like her holding the lightsaber to his neck the wrong way… it just turns into bashing a show for bashing sakes… takes credibility away… but I agree with what you said and the content creator on most of it.. P.S. I haven’t seen show nor do I want Disney to have my view or subscription. I watch the reviewers because I’m pretty sure I’d have similar reactions
What is this shit? This is Star Wars? 😂
Don't let the fumes from the crapolyte dumpster fire kill your brain cells😂
Master Nepatism. 👌
This show (if you can even call it that) is the trashiest most abysmal failure I've ever witnessed. Horrible writing, shameful ridiculous looking light sabers and the girl that plays osha/mae cant act worth a 💩....... WOKE PROPAGANDA with lesbian space witches is the best description!😂 And one more thing has anyone else noticed how stupid the lightsaber hilts look? Is it just more or do they look super thick and plasticky?
The reason that they look "plasicky" is because they're using real, in-camera props that feature their own illumination. Even Yord (I would type RIP if we were given any chance to know him, shrug) uses one as a FRIGGIN LANTERN. Just bananas-bad writing that doesn't deserve a showcase on the Hallmark Channel much less Disney+ in a STAR WARS-based catalog.
7-8 Jedi are dead plus 2 Jedi masters, let's go investigate with 4 Jedi (originally 3). I guess this Padawan is even tougher than Jecki. He hides it so well he's probably a match for a Sith Master. Maybe Sol talks about Osha's relationship with Pip to hint he has noticed the glaring two red bars that indicate he has been erased. Something only Mae would need to do to hide her identity. Why she goes to the coms is anyone's guess (door dash is my guess). It was my understanding that Padawan are not considered true Jedi, they are just students? So Osha was never a Jedi and doesn't qualify as a 'Jedi being seduced to the dark side' but I feel like someone is going to say this before this dumpster fire fades into oblivion.
I think book of Boba Fett was high art, and we were so lucky to get that amazing series, especially the vespas.
Pardon me while I add some chrome fins and pinstriping to my lived-in universe :)
@@TheMightyCookieShow I hope you’re being sarcastic lol… I loved how the prestige vespas were so clean yet they had to steal water…. In a desert… Prestine and no water access….
No homo you have pretty looking blue eyes
I would guess the Bug was not edited out, but not yet finished when they released the trailer. And i completely HATE these super thick damn lightsaber clubs. They are not animated, but real plastick tube thingies that can be used to hit each other. That is why they are so thick. It would be awesome if they would redo them in post, to make them slim, has Obi-Wans and Vaders lightsaber in episode 4. Or in Rebels. That was great. But these big halogen lighttubes are insanely ugly. This definately looks more clumbsy instead of elegant "and precise" as Obi-Wan describes it to Luke. I did an edit of Obi-Wan and Anakin in the horrible Obi-Wan show, man that training session looks way better with those thin sabers. Good review, thanks. Yes, those elephant animals are totally in line with that Last Luke Jedi planet. Also normally a force user wouldn't need to swim, he could float. And since it seems super easy for that guy... barely an inconvenience.
I'd also add that - take a look at the HEADs of those new "cute animals that will surely be available inside the STAR WARS General Store at Disneyland: Now we know what Osha was gawking at, don't we? :)
This is what you have to cry about for the show. Hope your channel fails.
Disney really needs a thirst trap 💀
Review was good. Thanks. I couldn't care less about the damn rule of two or Tenebrus or any of them. Some dipshit somewhere in the galaxy who might discover such powers, or comes across holocron, or somehow heard about the sith being the enemies of the jedi, might never heard of that stupid rule. It is no galaxy wide fact everybody knows. Personally i am not familiar with the stories about that, so i would wonder how the jedi, i e Yoda and Windu knew about it, if the sith are so super secretive. Same with the stuff Mae said "Jedi pull THEIR sabers only to kill" is no rule, it is just a lie somebody fed her with. Same with the shit dipshit tells her on the beach. All lies. Same as the crap Headlund tells. That is why the line is in there, that the jedi won't imprison her, if she tells them everything. Because it probably happened to her with the trial of her former boss. Also Smilo could have been fed lies as well. Same as headlund is making the jedi liars... Man i hate what Disney became and what it is doing to all the franchises. I can't say how i would want to the show to end so that i am happy... i wanted to make a rewrite of the story so it fits more of what i think is starwars, after the show ended and hopefully all infos are there and not hundreds of questions are left open. But what is presented is so convoluted, basicly everything else is better. So even i can make a better story out of the bits i know of the show 😅 (but can't watch it, don't have disney+)
@MAXXWORX Thanks for watching!
Christ! This show is approaching "Batwoman" levels of bad writing!
One of the benefits of dabbling in stage combat classes in college is that i can better understand the issues with fights like in 1v6 fight. If I had to guess: 1) those extra werent giving as much time and training. 2) that fight wasnt given as much time rehearsal time as the other 1v1 and 2v1 fights. 3) from a safety perspective, a 1v6 fight is a lot more dangerous to film and perform.
Having to watch this I would assume it's more of a curse than a benefit. Lol
@@TheWhyWing it can be tbh, though it does let me think of the ways I would have done it to improve things. For example, while 6v1 fights are cool in theory, they are impractical in live action for a lot of reasons. So I would take it off and replace it with a sort of Predator homage of the Jedi being scattered in the jungle and Qimir hunting and killing them all in a serious of 1v1s or 1v2s. Alternatively, change the setting of the fight from a... Cave? Under a tree? To somewhere Qimir could convincingly use the environment to his advantage in the fight. Or, if we have to have to keep the 1v6, break it up into smaller stages by having Qimir disable some fighters so he can focus on other. Stuff like Kord's leg wound putting him down. Maybe use the Force to tangle some of them in vines or push them away or something.
Since they have no real swords, but glowing baseball bats, it is not that dangerous, but in the normal starwars universe i would say you have to be more careful were you put your lightsaber instead of a metal sword. The lightsaber is more likely to do damage than a metal sword. But this fight should have been not a fight at all. Since they show they can use the force on each other in combat, all of them should have just used the force to hold him in place and capture him. Sure, wouldn't be much of scene, but the same should have happened with Trinity and Mae, she just could have broken her arms and/or legs with the force and be down with her, or make her fall over, throw something in her face and knock her out. But no. This introduction of old Kung Fu movies moves in Starwars annoyes me. Especially Vader and Reeva... horrible.
You sound stupid
Tbh the choreography of the lightsaber duels was top notch. W video
Thank you. I really appreciate it
Repeating is what you do when you are nervous. It's almost like a 40 page term paper was due and now Disney is up 3am, the morning of class trying to turn it in on time. To an untrained eye, the paper may seem decent but the professor can spot the bs a mile away. If you were to remove all the repetitive dialogue, the show would have like 2 episodes. The script has been dumbed down to a primitive level because Disney doesn't trust the mental wherewithall of anyone who would waste their brain cells on this show.
When I first started reading that I thought you were pointing out one of MY habits. 😂😂😂. But you're absolutely right.
One of my favorite Star Wars novels!
Have you heard the audiobook production. Mmmmm peak. It's one of my favorites too
@@TheWhyWing yup that’s how I read or actually listened to it. Narration was superb!
Using wooden sticks because of budget reasons I guess haha
Yep. Shoestring budget and all that. 😂😂
W
2:09 Please use your wood, not your saber. Disney can't afford animating those.
Right. They had budget constraints. I mean they ONLY had 180 million dollars. 😂😂
Come on dude, those pockets won't line themselves.
Everyone thinks the master is a Sith, but Mark my words. SHE is actually one of the witches most likely the leader lady from the third episode. This way they can subvert our expectations AND brag about how they fooled the internet and never broke cannon.
I think your giving the writers FAR too much credit.
For some reason it reminds me of 'Predator' when Arnold and his team run into some soldiers and show just how tough and badass they are only later to get easily defeated by the predator. I thought these bugs would all attack and the Jedi would easily win. But no, just one easily cut in half by Sol. Sol doesn't use the force to try and calm this creature but immediately kills it. Not much of a Jedi master. His Padawan says she thinks it an honor to watch things be killed and join the force. Okay, I see 'the Jedi are evil'. They lie, kidnap kids, kill animals, and think whatever they kill is lucky, it gets to join the force. Now lets show how weak they are in a 1 vs 8 fight with a totally not even a Sith. It's just so badly written I have to see where it ends out of morbid curiosity.
Thanks so much for the comment. I hope you'll watch my ep 5 review and see how right you are. Don't forget that fight is supposed to top the duel of the fates somehow. 😂😂
Happened upon your channel and found myself lmao at all of your comments. 😂 You ask a lot of the same questions I have about this show. I don’t feel crazy anymore! Looking forward to your future reviews.
Thank you! That means so much. Glad to have you
W vid ( also acolyte sucks )
Thank you very much!!
