We explore the creative differences between Disney and the show's creator Leslye Headland, the controversial casting decisions, and the backlash from the cast. We'll also discuss the possibility of The Acolyte being erased from Disney+, drawing parallels to the removal of Willow and Batgirl. Could this be the end of terrible projects in the Star Wars universe? Tune in to find out!

I hope they make season 2. I love watching Disney lose money
You like it? Crowd fund it, see how that goes!
Oh no, they don't want to have to pay for it themselves. The "patriarchy" must pay!!
It’s as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in butthurt and were suddenly silenced…. 😂😂😂😂
Won't go anywhere, the crowd that likes The Acolyte is too small.
That would be a reality kick right in the balls 😂
Yeah lol, all they need is to donate 180 million dollars & let's see how long that take without any financial frauds.
No way, narcissist creator didn't listen to anyone but people who agreed with her?
Are you truly surprised? KK only hire people that acts and think like her only
Shocking
I'm shocked.... shocked I tell you l....... well not that shocked
The shills have blamed everything except the quality of the show.
I genuinely feel sorry for the Korean actor Lee Jung-jae, who played Master Sol.
I actually liked his performance and could tell he was really trying. Too bad he had to star on such woke trash.
He's a pretty successful actor, he'll find something better. I'm sure he'll be sure to keep this dumpster fire off his resume.
The saddest part is that he clearly poured his heart into the role, by studying the original films and particularly Qui Gon Jin. He did everything right in preparation for the role, and I sincerely doubt he had any idea how far Star Wars has fallen since those days. Imagine getting excited about being in a continuation of arguably the greatest cinematic franchise of all time, only to end up with a talentless hacktivist calling the shots.
You have chased away all your fans! Spending absurd amounts of money on a series won't fix that. Star Wars is Broken!
I'd say it depends on the series. Gave Dave Filoni that money and a free hand to create what he wants without interference. I bet it would be awesome for fans and casuals alike.
@@barnettmcgowan8978 You're probably speaking about quality. Quality is vastly different than dollar amount.
Star wars isn't broken, it's dead.
@@barnettmcgowan8978Not everyone likes the clone wars or filoni.
@@user-kl5zd2oe3e True, but the people that do are a huge fan block that includes Gen X, Millennials and Gen Z. Enough people for Disney to make a fortune, but just giving them what they want. Through in some Old Republic content and Disney would be printing money.
Who knew the girl that gets Harvey's coffee would have no talent.
Something she and KK have in common, coffee girls with no talent believing they're geniuses.
Disney & Leslye Headland arguing about "creative direction" is like Thelma arguing with Louise about whether to go over the cliff at 55 versus 70 miles per hour. 🤷♂️
They want all the racists ists and phobes not to watch the show, then blame the cancelation on all the racist ists and phobes for not watching the show.
Yes, they want it to cut both ways.
Give the Acolyte "fans" a comic to conclude it, its all The Clones Wars fans have with some of the Disney cancelled story arcs.
Nah, make it a novel, it end up on the best sellers list for recycling into toilet paper!!!
@@superomegaprimemk2 Acolyte paper novel will just scratch and infect your hemorrhoids. Clog your toilet. Costing plumber and doctor bills.

"The power of One BILLION DOLLARS WASTED! The power of Two BILLION DOLLARS WASTED! The power of Many DISNEY SHAREHOLDERS FILING FOR BANKRUPTCY!"
We will be chanting this for decades after Disney itself goes bankrupt.
I remember watching shows in the 90s. Everything was so much more genuine and honest. No weird corporate money grab...there were lessons taught and the shows were never divisive
Either you've been gaslit or you're gaslighting yourself. The only difference in the subversive woke nonsense in the 80s and 90s and the subversive woke nonsense we deal with today is that 80s and 90s shows had more optics. How many cartoons back then just had fuck tons of token minorities shoved in and generally pushed some kind of humanist hugboxy cosmopolitan message (Hey arnold, Captain planet, Ect. Ect.)?
The entertainment you grew up with wasnt "genuine" or "honest", it was just a stepping stone to getting where we are now.
The audience is a frog boiling in "woke" water, the temperature was just turned up too quick and you started to notice it.
It's a mystery to me how this show could have been signed off. First the script is awful uncertain, flipflopping to dumb motives for most characters, that should have signal the alarm. Then test screenings, if any, should tell a few episodes are boring, dragging, repetitive, thirst trapping. Who signed the show off should be held responsibility. Or they found the show was so bad, they tried to bring up their, originally hidden, DEI agenda trying to save the show but in fact cashing more damage to the brand
I think the actual content wasn't terrible, it was the attempt to cut it in such a way to create a bad mystery. Thats where it went tits up.
What amazes me, is that so many people watched it, I lasted seven minutes !!
Simply put. It was a case of Pride and not the Gay kind of Pride.
The Acolyte was the only High Republic Star wars show. Whereas the Sequel trilogy was built upon (and destroyed) the foundation of the originals, the High Republic was placed before all of that and gave KK Ultimate control and freedom. This was her star wars. And the director she chose made the Acolyte her passion project.
With that much invested, it's easy to miss glaring flaws. Especially when your main story group's biggest concerns are centered in identity politics.
This show was bad, but I have to give credit to Manny and Lee Jung Jae. One learned a whole new language for this role, and the other spent months training for his choreography and it shows he is passionate about acting…… too bad they were both completely wasted 😢
Don't get me wrong. Disney's Star Wars has some good actors in them. They're just miscast.
“Mixed reaction”? Uh, I don’t think so.
If anything, The Acolyte united the fan base more than ever. Just not in the way they hoped...
The only mixed reaction was trying to decide if this was a burning dumpster 🔥 or if it was toxic 💩 shiite
Why did they make that one jedi look so dorky. The quaker beard made me laugh so bad.
I don't think content creators will ever learn the lessons of the failure of The Acolyte. Sacrificing good storytelling for pushing a DEI agenda, attacking long time fans before the content is released, then blaming them for not watching the show while labeling them "ists" and "phobes", is never a good business strategy. Unfortunately there are too many "Activists" involved in content creation now and finding content that focuses on good storytelling and not DEI agendas is like searching for a needle in a haystack these days.
Well no matter how bad the business strategy is how come no matter how many financial losses they take they continue to remain in business and rarely change course in any meaningful way, why?
Well, thats because profit isnt the goal anymore but rather calculated and deliberate social engineering efforts. Especially when all these losses can be made up by just putting out some bland inoffensive """"fun"""" film for the braindead consoomer general audience and make all your money back overnight. These people can get away with putting out as much destructive subversive propaganda as they want and it doesnt matter how much money they lose, the audience will just completely forget everything you did the moment you put out some shiny dangly keys.
Then you can just turn around and go back to pushing out subversive slop product after subversive slop product, infecting the culture at large with their diseased thinking, with absolutely nothing to really hold them accountable unless if you want to use state force to ban these subversive elements like we used to. The subversive elements we're dealing with today used "Free speech" as a battering ram to get into these influential positions in entertainment in the 80s and 90s and now that they control basically all of entertainment they dont feel like they have the need to maintain anything resembling optics anymore.
Entertainment has been woke for decades, treating the audience as a frog in boiling water. The only difference now is that they turned up the temperature too quick and some of the frogs jumped out.
Pretty much 10 years of Disney Star Wars summed up as shenanigans and tomfoolery I can't 😌
Dayum, even Disney didn't like the Acolyte. How is it possible that KK is still in charge at Lucasfilm?
She knows the darkest secrets
Doomcock just reported that Disney is considering bringing it BACK! Let them. It will just bring the demise of the Mouse House that much faster.
They got another 180 million bucks to spend? 🤷🏾♂️
@@albatross4920Bob Iger and Kathleen Kennedy do. Make them waste THEIR OWN money, instead of their investors and shareholders'.
why do people listen to that guy?!
Doomcock is optimistic for the downfall of KK but she is still around.
@@Iamnotspecialandneitherareyou hell be right one day lol
The power of one. The power of two. The power of maaaanyyy..... million Dollars flushed down the toilet.
@@Varg235 The power of many Disney shareholders filing for bankruptcy.
Disney doesn’t deserve to own Star Wars and Marvel. I hope they lose them both at some point.
It will force them to work on a budget
Please do another season. Please increase the budget to 200 million and waste every bit of it for those crying the loudest. I’ll enjoy the CZcams videos about how terrible it is.
5:25 Oh, nothing *Paul Tassi* of *_Forbes_* says can be taken seriously, the man is delusional 🤣!
This failure should be a wake-up call for Disney, Star Wars is almost dead due to sheer incompetence and willful neglect, of course the real test will be the mano movie and how badly Disney can screw up Star Wars between now and then!!
Nope bet ya they will double down. 😢
@@chibicelina I wouldn't be surprised!!
Acolyte - $180 million budget = 8 x 35-40 minute episodes. Andor - $250 million budget = 12 x 65-75 minute episodes. Perhaps the greatest mercy is they didn't give the Acolyte more money, or we would be suffering through 4 more short episodes where Osha abandons her motivation because of Darth Manny Jacinto's hard saber.
Congratulations on $150K on Stealing Solo!
It was all rainbows and butterflies on set!! 😂 gaaaaaaaaay!!! This starwars was gay there’s no other way to describe it and when I say gay I mean it in the way it used to be used by kids in the nineties like it sucked it was gay…. 😂
"The Series was meet with a mixed reaction"
Uhn no i would not say that. Rather it was meet with an overwhelming negativ reaction because it was sh*te
Mixed because they can't decide if put this crap as just an utterly dumpster fire or make a new negative definition to describe it.
Whatever they choose, no one will be positive.
Highly anticipated? Cancelled Disney+ anticipating disappointment. Saved from wasting hours of watching slop.
One of the basic tenants of story telling is to have two on going stories, one that's focused on this season alone, and one that's focused on the grander overall picture. The problem is that The Acolyte had neither. Season 1 doesn't really have a coherent story. It's not focused on what happened with Osha and her sister. It's not focused on the corruption or kidnapping of the Jedi Order. Not even the Jedi serial killer or Space Witches were the focus. The end result is that there was no story at all.
Nobody will be talking about this show at all in two weeks.
Origins of the Sith?
1. This has nothing to do with the Origins of the Sith the Sith have been around for millennia.
2. The Sith hardly appeared in the series.
I would of loved and actually wanted a series about the Sith but it would have to be about the Sith not have them appearing occasionally and their is no way Disney could make a series that was truely dark and would be willing to show the Sith as they are.
It still blows my mind that they spent 180 Million on this and it was just for 1 season of a tv show that barely anyone cared about on a streaming service where a blue cartoon dog gets more than 25% of the entire service's view time!
To be fair the blue cartoon dog is AWESOME!!!!
What surprising is that they had to let everyone know it was cancelled rather then quilting cancelled it like what happend with book of baba fett or Obi-Wan Kenobi show
Think about it for a second
I'd love to think about it except what you wrote is gibberish.
@@floxy20 Found the "fanboy"
This show had fans?
Fans that didn't watch the show or didn't watch it enough. If over 50-75% of the people that signed the petition to uncancel the show didn't watch a single episode, they have no business in getting the show a second season. Since the total viewership has has been counted, any extra views could be declared suspicious. They could have watched the episodes quietly and not announce this nonsense of a petition.
We could be getting so many better shows(potentially) but these "fans" are wasting everyone's time. They didn't watch the shows they preach and they still won't watch follow up seasons.
I'm surprised to hear that there was anyone left in Disney management that wanted a traditional blockbuster! If so, they discovered that the DEI monster they unleashed can not so be easily chained up again.
What they need is real writers and directors, not frustrated people trying to live out their fantasies on screen and then be surprised that other people dislike their personal fantasies.
Sorry guys, to me this just seems like a bunch of crap thrown at the 'sources' to paint a picture that the problems were caused by disagreement between the parties.
No, they agreed to this crap, they thought it was good, and KK, Disney, Filoni and Leslye were all wrong!!
Filoni is a joke.A traitor to fans just like Favereau
The very reason that this starts a new era for Disney to wreck is why it must DIE! 🤠But do a season 2! Spend more.
The Crapolyte
Should’ve let her old boss produce it. At least he makes good movies.
I agree! We need a season 2!
Our favorite CZcamsrs could use bigger boats! 😂
I don't understand the Woke Crowd it has been diverse this whole time
Mandalorian stars a Latino Actor
Andor stars a Latino Actor
Ahsoka stars a Latina Actress
Boba Fett Stars a Maori Actor
Sequel Trilogy Stars a Female Actress with a Black Actor and a Latino Actor
Am I Missing Something??????
you wanna see diversity done right? look to the '80's G.I. Joe cartoon.
Yes. None of them were gay enough.
@@jeffsmith5436 they entertain the idea of Finn and Poe to be gay in the sequel Trilogy
Dafne Keen was in this?
“I’m so sorry.”
I’m still convinced some of that 180 million was laundered.
Can't find any Acolyte merchandise here in the Netherlands. Guess I'll get a € 3.99 She-Hulk Funko pop ...
Hi new fans! Welcome to sci fi shows! They get cancelled all the time! Some of us are still pissed about Firefly, space above and beyond, season 5 of Farscape… the list goes on! You’re not special, you’re not new. Get used to being disappointed.
The last season of Andromeda should be added to that list.
Not really a Star Wars fan, but its clear that none of these Star Wars producers/creators of last few years, actually care about the original source material. They are just ego driven and want to push there own story without letting the characters and world drive the story. Character driven story telling the the hallmark of a good writer.
What working class man didn't identify on some level with Carl Winslow?
Blows my mind how unattractive actors are these days? If they had just cast attractive actors and actresses that usually makes up for a rough first season and at least gets you to the second season while problems with the first season can be fixed in season 2. You would hope the shown runner leaves the office and asks some random people on the street what they liked or hated then adjust. I did not like the show or this character but the only somewhat attractive person in the show was the black mother of the twins. Every other actor was like an average person walking down the street. People pay money to see unusually attractive people. It’s cinema 101 that worked for over 100 years until the last 3 years good looking people have been “banned”
Safe travels to Atlanta, Jeff. Looking forward to the Dragoncon content
Its really simple. Clue is in the title….STAR WARS…….without the war in the stars, without battles in space or battles at all, its a fail.
Disney Star Wars is just one train wreck after another.
The problem is, the show seems to be written for very young teenage girls. The story and script are both hopelessly, flawed, childish and simplistic.
Star Wars fans are a massive majority male and this show treated the fans with contempt....👺
All I gotta say is “SUFFAH LESLEE!”
Willow the Acolyte!
Think of the sweet, sweet tax break ....
Maybe the IRS will give them a Dependent Lesbian Opportunity Tax Credit 😂
If someone expected this “content” to be a “major hit” then they/them are just completely out of touch with reality. Source: It’s cancelled, at risk of Willowing. 😂😂😂
Well said Jeff. Thank you very much.
2:59 "the DARKER side of the force"
ahh i get it now
Their star should not have made a video insulting straight white males, who happen to be one of the various income sources for the show and series.
a true sith woulda killed her twin. she was left alive for?????????????
It had Bad stoy with Bad Acting.
The only show I was sorry to see go was 'Married with Children.' That was a great show.
It was. Apparently they were going for a twelth season & their eleventh was cancelled, they had no time for a good ending episode for closure so it went out on a regular type episode. Really shocked everyone working on the show, they thought they'd get another season.
What really made Disney cancel The Accolyte? The power of moneyyyyyyy! If the majority of fans openly dislikes or completely ignores a show, there is no money in it.
This trend of blaming fans because they don’t automatically love what’s showed in front of them has to go away!!
is any of this garbage technically considered cannon?
Disney/Marvel/Lucas is the only company I've ever heard of that spends the most money possible to Pander to the smallest group possible because they want a "new different smaller modern audience "....and even goes on Press Tours telling the much larger traditional audience group they are the problem..... and hires people who by their own admission don't know what they are writing about, and some who don't even like the subject material (because they want it to be something completely different for a much smaller audience) ......... Then when the larger traditional audience who they didnt want doesn't watch it because they let it be known the project wasn't made for them and the ratings are low, or the project crashes and burns, which anybody with more than 3 braincells knew would happen, they then turn around cry and complain and blame the larger traditional audience who keeps telling them to stop doing it and who they didn't want as an audience in the first place.......
This is literally the Disney/Marvel/Lucas business model.
Diversity is seasoning... not a meal. Gristle surrounded by salt is not a savory meal.
The acolyte 😂😂😂
I know 😂😂😂
This is the first time I have heard this not even Pro or Renagade have covered this yet
Yeah the Darth Bane trilogy actually did the explore the Sith thing.
The sith have been around for thousands of year how can u explore the origins by only going back 100 years?
Good job, but I simply don't see how any Hollywood company will agree spend so much money when all they have to do is look backward. In the 80s the Mini Series V. THe VFX were not all that great, but they were done well enough to support the story. The performers were not super well known, but they did a good enough job so that the show was not only elevated to CLASSC status. The writing was the highlight because even though Julie was a leading female she never eclipsed Mike. Even the background characters (Willie and Harmony) were interesting enough that their storyline worked. In addition to the CLASSIC status, V set the table for an equally successful follow-up with V: The Final Battle. Even today this pair of miniseries have many viewer everyday. Is anyone going back and re-watching ANY of the MCU TV shows? The Star Wars shows? No. So, fix the problem by hiring people who are competent in their fobs. I honestly hold that any of these failed things could have been successful IF successful writers like V scribe Kenneth Johnson.
I'm with the "lower budget season 2" crew. Like, a lot lower. Animated stickman lower. No voice actors lower. They need to get a random "fan" from the internet to draw it lower. It will be a smash hit.
Star Wars was already dead before the Acolyte. The damage is irreversible
This shit was DOA. Nobody wants woke wars
You know its bad, when Gutfeld THE top old retiree show on fox is making fun of it.
The Acolyte - the gift that keeps giving
Much in the style of contagious dysentery
I honestly gave this a try.
I lasted about 17 minutes into the first episode.
And then I had to walk away.
Absolute garbage.
Disney wants a blockbuster, but they keep writing big checks to dummies who don't get it.
By focusing only on inclusivity, Disney created something non-inclusive.
This is what happens when you hire activists instead of creatives.
Shoulda hired me to pitch a plot. I'll only charge 30,000.
The point is they DONT want to give diverse creators of various backgrounds a platform to tell their own stories. They would rather give money to a bunch of people who aren't diverse and one of their buddies or recommended by one of their buddies billions of dollars to throw away than actually give diverse people a platform. This is the insult to everyone's intelligence because it would be cheaper to take the money spent on the Acolyte and give it to 2 or 3 up and coming "diverse" creators to make something new. But Hollywood is full of sh*t and they only work with people that are in a certain group and nobody else.
The more they spend on a show, the worse it gets. How does this happen?
You are not likely to get a second season for preachy, divisive, forced, woke, self insert fan-fic that appeals to no one.
The acolyte is the dumpster fire disaster that won't end
Wonderful isn't it. Enjoy the fall of arrogant people who think they can make movies.
LOL the dumpster icon with long exposition!!!
when rian johnson wrote a movie where luke never left the island he was living on i was done with star wars
character dynamics ? where
Don’t be to hyped. We can get a plagues as a stealth session 2.
Season 2 was going to have rainbow Pride Sabers.
I know some of you may be flabbergasted that people actually defend this show.
Believe me, I know the feeling. I’ve kinda just accepted at this point that most people are brain dead and have no standards for quality. That’s the only explanation.
'Complex moral ambiguities?' Is that code for 'celebrating evil' or 'character assassination' or just plain inconsistency? Because I haven't listened to any review that didn't excoriate the morality of the show and its characters....
How about that nutty Star Wars bar
Basically.. The show was a complete waste of time, badly written and a total cringe fest! 😬👎🏼
Does Paul think The Crow should get a sequel, too?
The setting had potential but it was thoroughly ruined by horrible writing…
As crazy and hilarious the entire shit pile of the acolyte is, the craziest and funniest part is that ya boi Zack and EVS are actually fans of it!
