This show is like when your little sister sneaks into your room and starts mixing your action figures into her doll scenarios. Sure she isn't hurting anyone, but man is it cringe AF, and she only wants to play with your toys because mom said to leave your stuff alone, not an interest in the characters. Now they have sticky stuff on them and she took the tunic off your favorite hero for some reason.
And then you draw pubes and nips on her Barbie.
Nice analogy.
Lol.
lol, yup!
she isn't hurting anyone? but it DOES hurt. it hurts a lot.
Does anyone else think green bean looks silly?
We have Gomorrah at home
What a way to cast your own wife into the show
Plain silly!! Literally, too plain, too silly
I don't necessarily think she looks silly, but my god - she can't act!!!
That lightsaber whip is about as moronic a weapon that DisneyWars have ever put into film. Almost as bad as Kilo Ren's lightsaber with the goofy crossbar.
Yeah, I've never been a fan of the concept. It seems goofy af
It was cool how Darth Maul only needed one blade during his brief skirmish with Qui-Gon on Tatooine, and he saved his second blade until later when he was fighting two Jedi, that way it was more than just a useless gimmick. They should've come up with a scenario where a light-whip would've actually been useful or cool. Killing a bug is too lame... you could boomerang-throw your saber at it, Force-pull the bug to you and skewer it, or just wait for it to actually get close to you and give it a slash. I also agree that light-whips are too aggressive and dangerous for Jedi. Another Dark Side light-whip user was Githany from the Darth Bane books.
The double lightsaber is like a staff rather than a sword (with some limitations on the staff choreography). That and the whip both seem gimmicky to me, although the staff gave them an excuse to spice up the fighting a bit.
here's the thing though. yes the double blade saber was cool, but imagine how much MORE cool it would have been had they actually kept it secret so that the first time you saw it was in the movie instead of being pimped out months before the movie released as part of the marketing and sales frenzy for merch and action figures.
Having seen kung fu (or wushu) bo staff work before, I for one wouldn't have been too excited even if they had kept it secret.
The 'Intergalactic' video by the Beastie Boys is better than the entire Acolyte series.

The lightsaber-whip as written was a series of kyber crystals chained together in an actual whip, that when powered up would envelope the whip in energy. These "creators" are absolutely worthless.
Lumiya's whip actually made some sense. It was a metal whip with lightsaber energy around it.
You're wrong. That wasn't the "only action" in the episode. Are you forgetting that Mae was humped by the gopher????
The better question is - if the cool 'whip' is able to cleave the giant moth in twain, why is it that it's apparently only left scars on Darth Joker?
When a problem comes along....You must whip it. HAHHA Osha wearing the helmet looks like a child wearing an Iron Man helmet. Cortosis "absorbs" high energy such as the blast from the blasters and the lightsaber itself.
Jedi Master Devo approves
@@drunkjediknightWell now we have to make Master Devo canon!
i like that giggle after you say "whipped it out" 😅😅
This whole show is just surface level key changling. Woeful YA fanfic
“Don’t you see, it’s a stupid idea! No one’s gonna go for it! Stupid, stupid stupid!” Seinfeld
Vernestra looked like she was wheeling in a retractable vacuum cord
If it was any other show, I'd guess they did this to foreshadow a twist where she actually turns out to be part of the dark side.
But this is the Acolyte 😂
The laser whips looked better in both 'Starchaser: The Legend of Orin' and 'Masters of the Universe' with Dolph Lundgren.
Green jedi is going to be a secret sith.
That came from the same folks that made crackling fire in space vacuum.
Cortosis is a great material... For unlockable blades, or undeflectable bullets. For armour just use beskar. It's more common
So does anyone else think its just a coincedence that the same episode where Vern uses her light-whip we also see that Smilo Ren has flog scars on his back?
Dave doesn’t care about the lore he just wants to make money off the corpse that is Star Wars
A whip is not a jedi weapon. It is purely an offensive thing. The lightsaber is defensive by design - as are jedi.
Very good point, just another thing they didn't think about.
Well the sith dude has a whip mark on his back, likely given to him by his master. So ... not too subtle!
The whip scene was to show who caused the scar on "Smilo's" back... Two there always is, a master & an apprentice
My lightsaber goes soft seeing her on screen.
Darth Maul survived being cut in half with a lightsaber. Many years later, Sabine in the "Ahsoka" series got stabbed in the torso with one, had it held in her chest for quite a long while, and then practically walked it off. The blades don't shimmer in that fearsome way they used to. They've gotten fat, stable. Even the sound effects have been dumbed down, and once upon a time that was half of a lightsaber's coolness. Nowadays, they're flaccid and can be used like whips. (Is this an infantile slap at the patriarchy, or do they have a toy in development and Episode 6 was the first advertisement for it?) There's plenty of blame to go around for the godawfulness of "Acolyte", but I think George Lucas, himself, started the devolution of the Star Wars universe's most awesome weapon.
Just because there is canon doesn’t mean it should be used. More dominatrix imagery than Jedi.
The reason why they whiped it out is for that scared back scene. Pretty obvious writing, unless its a smoke screen for something else..
Acolyte is basically a fanfic that made by someone who is neither a fan nor a talented writer! The story was based on fleeting plot point that they think shills would love and clapped while inserting sexual relationship scenes that is inappropriate in SW show. 🤦♂️
I'll add another tiny little problem with that helmet: if it provides sensory deprivation, how did Smylo Ren have a conversation with Sol before it was forcefully removed? Shouldn't he have been essentially deaf?
It would seem to match the scar on Qimir's back.
Also, being drawn to light doesn’t mean only being drawn to light.
It's pointless to establish a single fact about a creature, and make it the crux of each of its appearances, until a different episode when you need to shoehorn this special weapon being used, but accidentally equipped it with a character that you failed to write into a scene where it's necessary, so you contradict your own exposition of a creatures motivation, by just, "what if one of those bugs becomes irradically hostile? Throw that in there!"
If you ever look at the hilt of a Disney Star Wars lightsaber, they're basically PVC pipes. There's no curve to it, no art style. At least with Ventress and Dooku, you had a curve to it. Obi's light saber would have many shapes on the hilt. Same with Anakin's. Lightsabers should not look ordinary.

If the Cortosis helmet blocks the force then how does SmiloRen use the force against the Jedi?
It behaves like a one-way mirror. Seems difficult to explain/justify.
Honestly, don't think they've thought about that at all.
They seem to be so hyperfocused on what they want to happen with no thought at all to the implications/explanations.
"Don't cross the lightsaberwhips!"
The light whip was a terrible idea even the Bane era.
there are 3 version of star wars series. the first is 1977's star wars (respect to all the people worked hard on this). The second is the special edition, where it destroys everything and darth vader (yell like a puss.). third is the prequel where george betray everyone especially the 1977's people. Then george quicky sell it off. Now star wars is doom and we can only walk the memories of continue to watch star wars 4,5,6. (it is nicer if darth vader to say, i know who kill your father, it is the emperor, join me and we can destroy the emperor).
Download the de-specialized editions. Based on the laserdisc versions without any of the special edition garbage. They're the only versions I watch and they look fantastic.
i saw artice they want c3po and rtd2 to have a intimate moment serious give 3po earrings and heels
whips are meant just to injure right?
why jedi using whips?? i dont get it
Disney Wars is bantha poodoo.
I don't know, I think it looks cool but seems ridiculously dangerous for everyone around including the user.
The Jedi should develop a laser gun..😏
Gomorreans always have used wild weapons, most of her kind use axes and clubs though..
there is a reason why all the whips in sw have been used by flexible and nimble characters. in the hands of that arthritic gomorrean it looks way too unnatural.
Another of Leslie's bedroom antics in the show, not Star Wars...
Leslie's wife having a whip seems like a bad s&m joke. Like that clip where she says she's uncomfortable with lightspeed travel.Probably a joke about the real-life woman getting sick on airplane. Of course, her wife gets a special weapon. She got this job through nepotism. She can't act. She is forced into scenes. How much is she being paid?
No. They didn't use it for the marketing show. How is it that I'm this episode we not only get this "cool" whip-saber, but Qimir also sports scars as if he himself was "whipped" by his master. Get what I'm saying here...
not siding w the idiots at disney but you do realize that the whip doesn't have the same punishment undertones in the east right ie the eastern versions of the whip are chains like the kusarigama
It’s crazy there are small details that looks amazing but the MC twins plus poor writing also throw in theses really bad interviews this show got crushed!!!!!
Yeah, the twin storyline sucks, and the actress isn't doing anything to elevate it. Also, I still have no idea why the child versions are played by 2 different people.
The writers showed the whip bc she's involved in the scars on the sith guy's back?
😂 whipped it out
The first Darth Bane book gives a better description of a lightwhip, and the comic makes it look so cool. They somehow made it look so bad, and if she has to use it in a lightsaber fight its going to look so goofy.
I think a whips are more graceful than elegant. The use of one, the movements are much more circular than regular sword play. With Indiana Jones, he used it to grab or knock objects. This is different with a light saber type of weapon because they destroy most material that they touch. I do remember a type of metal that was used by a Mandalorian that is resistant to light sabers. Not sure if it was pure Beskar or something else.
The fans are the ones who are whipped.
It's absolutely a Dark-Side user's weapon....
May be a question of low T
They got this from Demon Slayer
we may no ever see that whip again!
any bets? haha
also, i got all this like theme on this show
the mask....look like those used in sadomas+ then this whip now this master teaching osha,,,got bad feeling about this
So Cortosis is just super Beskar?
Great video discussion... After watching some other videos of a few folks who say they are enjoying The Acolyte, it makes me wonder... Perhaps some SW fans are liking it just because they want more SW content, and it doesn't really matter to them if the storytelling and dialogue is bad... They are just happy to get what they get... I don't really have a problem with that personally, as each person is different in their tastes and tolerances... I really only find issue with the tiny number of folks claiming they like it, but when asked why, it primarily boils down to the agenda/messaging/politics that is the focus of their reasoning... It's kind of cult like, all this DEI non-sense... And like a cult, they don't care about others' opinions outside the bubble of the cult... It becomes A versus B for them rather than a point of discussion and reasoning... But thank goodness, you don't see many videos where that is the takeaway for the reasons, they like it...
That particular camp of peeps is usually relegated to other social media platforms... And it's hard to know if what they are saying is real, or just trolling for clicks... In the end, most of the General Audience never engages with any of this stuff, and it just boils down to watching it or not watching it... It's just a simple choice, and they don't really care about any Internet discussions... Some may rate it one way or another and never speak about it again... Yet Disney piles everyone not watching it or disliking it into the same bucket, and behaves like a child calling them all names... Disney should look in the mirror, to see just how ego centric and toxic their own behavior has become...
I love putting the concept of "make sure that it makes sense" into the generation of comments for cool weapons, but - take a look at what's being generated for the SHOW in general? Nothing here in this program makes sense of any kind.
The writing is stupid, they already killed a moth with a lightsaber. The whip is just there to show how the green girl whipped Smylo Ren.
Why don’t we just have lightsaber machine guns at this point with light saber bullets? Or a light saber flame thrower or sawed off shot gun or some other silliness at this point? 😂
Star Wars fan but I tuned out of Star Wars along time ago in a galaxy far far away.
Thank you for enduring all of this for us to enjoy your channel. 👍
literially ezra brigders lightsaber from rebels
I do not care if it was in legends. *Not everything in legends was good*. Chewbacca dying was horrible he didn’t even get a hero’s death. Lightsaber whips make ZERO sense. A lightsaber staff? Makes sense. A lightsaber spear? Makes sense. A whip? No. No no no no.
Laser whips have never been cool for me. iron Man 2 killed my interest. Not even Voltron made me like them. But if you want an interesting take on them, the Prefedt series by Alastair Reynolds has something called Whip Hounds.
They ripped off the the whole cortossis armor from the imperial knights from star wars legacy comics
I know the lightsabre whip is from the EU... but I don't care - It's stupid!!!
The idea of a whip is actually pretty cool. But the way that thing moves is so dumb.
Yeah the DEVO Whip it video is more entertaining than this show.
Disney will never be able to satisfy the Star Wars fans simply because, for every so-called law scholar within Lucas film there will always be a million fans that are way more clued up than they could ever be.
I actually feel bad for Dave Filoni. Even if I had double his knowledge regarding Star Wars, I still wouldn't have half as much knowledge as true Star Wars fans.
Don't get me wrong though, Just because I think he's in a tough place doesn't mean I think he's handling it well.
I just don't think there is anyone out there who will be able to oversee a Star Wars production and be able to bring the fan base back to our original starstruck state who isn't named George Lucas.
And that makes me sad. I miss the days when I could talk to another Star Wars fan and just get lost in the fantasy and excitement of the stories. Now it's just continual disappointment from nearly everyone I ever ( reluctantly ) end up discussing it with.
To anyone who has taken the time to read my little diatribe thank you, You are a true Star Wars fan..., You didn't get this far because of me you got this far because you care about Star Wars. Whether you agree with me or not.
This is the one and only time I'll comment on Star Wars because I've decided to leave it behind I'm 51 years old now and for all the inclusivity in the current Star Wars era there doesn't seem to be any stories to fill people with the wonderment that George Lucas could create..., And for that reason I feel Excluded!
BDSM Wars
I think the show is pretty good. Disney has made some absolute garbage but not this one.
Disney / Lucasfilm I can do far better. Let me pitch and Lucasfilm shall have better days! Have Hope fans!
LFL are not cool, they're urban wine mommy dorks. They have no respect for the gear or the EU tales, they just appropriate for free, make a hash of it, and then whine about the poor reception from the fans.
Holy moly, start with some freakin respect Lucasfilm. We might be mildly understanding if you'd actually TRIED.
But it's all so gratuitous, and they're so proud of it all, at least until the next social media dump they launch.
I love how the Internet is finding any reason to just hate on this show
Agreed
I love how people without taste tell everyone else that this dog crap is good.
And the show runners give us a multitude of them.
Any reason at all will do. As long as they get clicks, they'll keep making videos.
@@somethingsomethingsomethingdar your space wizards have flaws and you can't stand it🤣
Light saber whips are stupid, period.
She's the worst character.
…..everybody is the Worse character..

I remember trying to find jazz cool like a decade ago. No thanks
Never thought you'd turn out to be an immature toxic fan like those others.
What about her comments are toxic. Please be specific. Critique is not toxic.
Funny how you read like some AI or paid Stan who can't back their comments with anything factual. Disney is Not entitled to praise. They create inferior, bastardized material. This is nothing but content with no value.
Truth hurts.
@@Bastion83 yes, definitely this. Thank you for responding more eloquently than I.
Your comment about Disney not being *entitled* to praise is so on point. And what else should we expect from a showrunner who admitted she BS'd her way into the business.
These "counter toxic" comments strike me as the target audience for the "consume next product" business strategy Disney seems to adhere to.
That CZcams Partner Program money is too seductive to deny.
