    With Theory getting attacked again, it's important to remember that the company encourages these kind of attacks. Pablo Hidalgo made fun of him for crying when Luke Skywalker returned to the Mandalorian season 2. He was publicly bullied by Lucasfilm for loving their product. This was years ago too, don't think they've gotten any better.

      How many of us also cried when we saw Luke? I certainly did.

    I remember rolling up to the cinema for ROTJ as a nine year old for the first showing of the day at my local. I spent the whole day in there watching the film 4 times in a row. It’s one of my fondest memories as a child. I yearn to feel that way again for a movie.

    In light of the Acolytes dismal quality and performance it’s always important the remember Leslye’s hubris and arrogance in an interview where she smugly scoffed at George Lucas and the prequel series. That to me is still one of the most despicable and disrespectful things she has done (in regards to Star Wars, not her former employment) and I think it should be brought up every time we are pulling apart the disaster that was The Acolyte

    I agree with Elaine that Master Vernestra Rwoh could be the Sith Master. We know from the trailer that she wields a light whip, which wasn't a Jedi weapon. The Sith Master could be based on Lumiya of the old EU, who was shown in one of the trailers wielding a light whip; Lumiya also could manipulate people thru their dreams. Maybe the Sith Master is manipulating Mae/Osha through their dreams? Dreams seem to be playing a large part in this show-Osha’s dreams (blackouts) and the Sith Master’s words. Since the character is from the High Republic, and the actress is LH's wife, we wouldn't expect her being turned into the villain; however, keep in mind that they are blurring the lines between good and evil.

    • @Drevlock
      @Drevlock Před 2 měsíci

      Vern' has been my top call too. Her first entry was very 'Maul' Vibe, likely due to low acting unable to hide foreknowledge.
      As far as story line. She was recruited from a 'witch' coven and rediscovered her origins during the 'persecutions', aided the 'witches' after the exodus (giving a possible " I am your mother" line opening). She was the noise that we heard in E03 and possibly agreed to look over Osha and get her out of the Order in time. After the 'massacre' she found Mae, trained her. Now she is trying to unit Mae and Osha to meld the two philosophies "No good or evil, only power and who is allowed to use it." This storyline is message worthy. I am just not sure if it is simple enough to be right or to thoughtful and wrong.

    Agree completely with Universal compared to Disney World. Went to both last summer, hadn't been to Disney since 2001 and the whole experience was like being at Wal-Mart (Magic Kingdom/Hollywood Studios). 2 Disney cast members were rude to us, for no reason and it's freaking Disney World, that shit just straight up isn't supposed to happen. I was shocked. Universal was my first time ever and it was great. It had such a better vibe and the areas were more presentable. Harry Potter world was great, it felt like what I expected from Disney. Typhoon Lagoon is still great though and so was Epcot, no complaints there. I don't ever plan on going back to MK & HS. Waste of time and money. Also, RIP Disney Quest. 😢

    Great conversations in the vid... As to the discussion about where the money went for Accolyte... Based on that writers comment, I honestly think because so many of the crew and so forth were not as experienced, the spending was probably not handled well... They probably planned to lean hard on SFX and CGI, which is expensive, then they ran out of money and time to film everything they wanted, along with some inexperience added to the writing issues... Add all that together, they were left scrambling to cobble the show together...
    I think they knew it wasn't going too go well early on...

    I haven’t had *any* respect for Ewan McGregor since his first tirade. This is why no one respects actors anymore, they used to be respectful and grateful to the fans for their support. This is why we need to transform the acting, film and television industry into a 9-5 career. How interesting how they easily forgot about the true diversity from years ago. I don’t know why fandoms have been split apart.

    1:10:38 I’m a normie. I don’t watch any of this stuff anymore. $100+ million doesn’t give you passion. It doesn’t buy a good story. Currently, with rare exception, watching you guys TALK about these shows is the closest thing we have to entertaining shows anymore.
    Disney is like Goku Black. It’s just out there destroying everything you like, and watching y’all and Drinker (etc) is like the survivors huddled underground still trying to live a fulfilling life while hoping Goku Black Disney doesn’t destroy what little is left.
    YOU all are the NEW HOPE.

    I'm watching a lot of this after episode five aired. Verbal Riot was the one with the best instincts about the quality of the writing in later episodes. He was totally right about the panel giving the Acolyte's writers too much credit, by coming up with better & more imaginative plot twists than the writers could deliver.

    Qimir as smilo, yes. A female as mastermind, yes. You can't have a mansplaining, toxic male be the master over a female. It's worse for them to have a toxic male be the master over a female than for a female to be a misunderstood Sith. Remember, the Force is not good or bad anymore, it's about who wields it.

    Did Acolyte have rewrites and reshoots? Because there's no way this show has 180 million into it. Rewrites and reshoots (a lot of them) could explain a crazy bloated budget , but that would mean Leslye and her writers were all pretty crap at their jobs.

    When the first Star Wars movie came out, it was like all the "weird" kids found their place where they could be accepted.
    Nerd culture didn't really exist at that time. Star Trek, the original series, had been canceled due to low ratings, although it was in syndication.. There was no role-playing by adults. No computers. The Lord of the Rings books weren't readily available and there was no technology to make them into a believable movie.
    The movie Star Wars was a revelation. Star Wars captured the imagination until Disney killed it.

  • @aurorauplinks
    @aurorauplinks Před 2 měsíci

    Someone needs to make a edit of Obi Wan Kenobi (Mcgreggor) talking about the Acolight and standing up for Yorg, saying that the writers purposely humiliated him out of sexism and to put down black males. (refering to the scene with the robe where the child rebukes a grown male black man.) that would be hilarious to talk about the racism and sexism in star wars, not the fans, the writers doing it and the entire structure of the current star wars being racist and sexist against men.

    I guess he's an actor but I don't think Ewan McGregor's video was insincere. I'm sure there really are racist trolls harassing Amandla Stenberg, and that's a terrible thing. Folks on this podcast aren't like that but that doesn't mean they aren't out there.
    None of which need distract from the quality, or lack of quality, of the show itself. There can be racists out there, and the Acolyte suck because it is obsessed with people's identity, both at the same time. The world is complex, and everything doesn't line up neatly into good/bad, us/them, right/left, and all that reductive nonsense.

    OK guys let’s get it together. The Superman suit for the new movie is absolutely lame! Unfortunately, the new Superman cannot fill out the suit or the suit is too big. He looks extremely frumpy. The quintessential Superman suit, with the correct body type and man in it was Christopher Reeve. This current guy should’ve gotten in the gym and I cannot believe the photo leaked of this guy and that lame suit! I always have known James gun sucks and no, I never did like guardians of the galaxy…

    not sure why people are complaining about the superman suit. it reminds me of "Lois & Clarke" from the 90s with Dean Cain, one of my favorite depictions of Superman. it is the classic bold primary colors from comic books. he looks like a cleancut straightforward superhero. that is the classic Superman vibe.
