- With the Acolyte Episode 5 already failing to end the acolyte backlash and the whole situation with the acolyte rotten tomatoes score from the audience....one major development now has more to do with the acolyte financial collapse and how it involves more details with those like kathleen kennedy, leslye headland and bob iger as the disney ceo...including the star of the series actress Amandla Stenberg. This all comes well after the acolyte backlash caused those like leslye headland to do major damage control over the disney plus series and also bob iger to create multiple disney emergency meetings over the current status of lucasfilm.

Not gonna lie, i haven't watched a single episode of the Acolyte, but listening to the fallout of how trash it is, is probably far more exciting than actually watching the show
Um yeah. The show is straight garbage and is a joke
Correct 🎉
I watched 20 minutes and went to cut my grass.
Me too lol
I refuse to watch and what I have seen from reviews I do not regret my decision
Disney deserves every bit of financial loss that it sustains, we’re tired of this.
I'm shocked that the shareholders haven't charged them all with industrial espionage.
@@jamesanthony8438 - why???? the shareholders are blackrock, vanguard, and state street. Disney is doing what they are telling them to do.
And it’s only gonna get worse for them
@@griffinbacher2215 I wanna celebrate this failure for them, I really do, but the reality of this means that they could very well drop Star Wars entirely. We're living in the era of Lost Media, and not even Star Wars is exempt.
@Rovelius39X7 you ever think about how all the money wasted on these woke shows nobody watches could've ended world hunger of it were all pooled together instead of burning it in these dumpster fires?
35million spent on scenes they arent going to use. I would fire her on the spot. Wtf?
Imagine how many needy tran$v3$+!+3$ they could feed with all that wasted money 💰 😮
They are pumping out propaganda. As long as they have money they will continue to pump it out. They have no interest in entertainment since they use the industry for their agenda.
Money laundering
It’s 180m that there never going to make money off of.
I wish I could screw up that badly and still keep my job.
Wouldn't it be nice to be allowed to be that big a failure in your own job and still be employed...?
Ehhh they'll just get moved somewhere else in the company 🤔 I guess having a "useless" creative job, you don't have to apply the same rules as any other company.
I say "useless" to parrot the CEO of OpenAI.... Remember though ;) AI isn't going to take away jobs
Just like government employees
Headland, the lead director, was an assistant to Weinstein and absolutely has dirt on people. I don't see her going anywhere.
Cancelled scenes for lacking proper dialog, story telling, and character development. Can you imagine how BAD they must have been considering the ones they've left in???
That was my first thought as well...ROFL like did they drool and stutter through the lines
I agree! Like, wtf are they thinking!? "The power of mannnnyyy"
Probably bad in their twisted world few. Probably was a bad white jedi commanding a transgender wookiee, and thus getting the non-binary hutts offended.
It was too male driven....
It was probably the best scenes they shot in the whole series but she killed them bc it made the male characters look better than the females…
There's no need for a cliffhanger when it's already gone over the cliff.
Yeah, over the cliff and straight down the toilet.
And splattered all over the rocks at the bottom.
A shit storm in a dumpster on fire going over a waterfall.
No one clinging to save them either 😂
Can Disney finally fire Kathleen Kennedy AND Bob Iger as well? Accept the situation Disney.
Bob Iger will never fire himself. And KK knows where the skeletons are buried, so no luck for a while.
Nope. They will virtue to the end.
They'd have to admit they were wrong to push DEI, Alphabet soup identities.
It's time to BOYCOTT these Big Corpos
Don’t count on any of that happening. Just expect bad Star Wars. Not sure how much longer it can last though
I think I'll start writing scripts now. Cant be so hard if this dumpsterfire gets funded with 185 mln.
Sounds like money laundering to me.
nepotism more like.
For black rock
How can a lightsaber fight scene cost 10M$... There are literally hundreds of lightsaber fights fan videos and i'm pretty sure a dude in his garage doesn't have 10M$ to waste on it. The special effects are minimal. Disney, where is the money going??? Certainly not on the screen that's for sure, and not in the writing room either.
Nice comment
Unless these are real lightsabers, as in the ones they required a battery strapped to them then I don't see how it's worth that much either.
Fight was awesome
It's nuclear lightsaber. 😅
Facts
If Disney wants to throw another $200mil away my wallet is open.
It's coming from your 401k
@@iddomargalit-friedman3897 I don't have a 401K
You guys remember what we did with Sonic the movie? Let's do it again with Disney and remove Disney Star Wars from cannon!
Sonic the movie would've flopped had they not redesign him
What makes you think Disney Star Wars is Canon? It's only Canon if you consider it Canon. But I agree to a point, we've tried hard to cancel Disney. We'll get there.
@@OriginalDrGonzo Yes my bad, what disney? It never happened.
@@Unyfrix 😁 I mean what I said as respectfully as possible of course. Disney isn't Canon and never will be. They did us the kindness of labeling any Star Wars media that is actually Canon as Legends. That's the way I see it.
@@ChristopherPortorreal-ol2mj and having jim carrey, he owned the villian
She needs to stop telling star wars fans they don't know what star wars is about lol
The Disney board of directors must be a group of simpletons. How can they sit and watch the company go down the drain?
That depends on what else they own stock in. If they are making money in ventures connected to Disney than they are losing because of Disney, then it doesn't matter.
They are Iger's creatures. They do what they are told by Iger.
sounds almost like money laundering - unless they are soooo stupid being charged that much.. oh, nevermind then.
Thought so too this nothing but money laundering 😂😂😂😂
Vote trump or they will destroy america next
I’m done FOREVER with Disney.
What doesn't make sense to me is that at the end of the day Disney answers to shareholders. There is no way shareholders are going to allow this complete destruction of Star Wars to keep happening. Iger will eventually be forced to fire KK.
They've allowed it for years and even voted to allow it continue this year.
F*ck 'em. =)
The largest shareholders of Disney are Black Rock and vanguard. They don't care about losses, they care about "the message"
@@Milo19207ah, but Blackrock and Vanguard are people that are out of touch with reality.
I suppose a total value of 186.26 billion
USD for Disney does make them ignore the Lucasfilm division. They have too much money to care about fans.
There was a chance to correct the ship's course with the vote for a board seat for Peltz a while back. That did not work.
Sad when Fan-Fiction is written with more love of the franchise. The power of one is better than "Many" if "Many" equals Disney writers. 😢
I started writing a Star Wars fan fiction a couple years back. I had a dream of approaching Disney with it and trying to get it published. It was after the release of the Last Jedi that I realized the woke idiots in charge of Star Wars would never let my story see the light of day, so I'm re-doing the whole thing from the ground up in a universe of my own making.
I will gladly subscribe to and PAY for the absolute worst "Fan-fiction" before I EVER pay for any programming from Disney or Disney+.
And the ONLY thing "Gay" about #StarWars is Disney
The House of Mouse has fallen. RIP Steamboat Willy.
New Disney doesn't want anything to do with willies.
No, steamboat mickey escaped all this woke bs. We can rebuild disney from scratch with him.
'Attack me with all of your strength'... quality writing right there. KK is a disaster, how she still has a job, let alone THE TOP JOB, at Lucasfilm goes against reason.
I feel like I'm in an old school theater watching a tragedy play out. It's so bad you want to scream and cry, but it something you just want to keep watching as everyone falls down; one, by one.
This Drama reminds me of when John Lennon was singing with Chuck Berry and Yoko went totally off on her own. The look on CB's face was priceless.
yes, that was brilliant
You're a brave man for watching literal garbage to help other steer clear of this mess. We salute you. Now back to my middle age life crisis on deciding on whether or not to own a motorcycle.
Old KK must have some serious compromising dirt on Bob to keep her job after all of the failures…. Dang, she is untouchable.
It's her contract. Chapek renewed it through 2025 and it's got a huge golden parachute if she is fired.
@@user-zp7yd6ix1d Explains it. Kinda sad (but deserved) for her career legacy. Her earlier career was quite strong. Now she will be remembered as the destroyer of the Star Wars franchise. Shows what happens when one is unwilling to learn, take feedback, and change course when necessary.
@Frank-nh9fe not only star wars but indy and willow too. Batting 1000 so far.
She has to be stealing money from Disney. 10M for one scene and then cut it and delete it. That was a scam.
DEI investment firms own over 36 Billion in Disney stock. Yall think they care about a few million? They arnt firing any execs as long as that ESG DEI score is high😂
This.
Unfortunately we’re gonna have to wait a few years before they lose so much money on these investments because no one wants to watch the garbage Disney makes until they finally change their agenda to things people want to watch
Maybe if Disney loses enough money Blackrock will stop killing the housing market
I can tell straight away you dont know how buisness works.The hole purpuse of buisnes is to earn money and loss is very frustrating
Doent matter how many zeros you operate
I'm grinning from ear to ear like a psychopath
In any other business, if someone causes the loss of millions of dollars than they would be fired on the spot.
What is wrong with Disney, the investors etc that they continue to allow this idiocy and incompetence?
I always said this and I'll continue to say this...Disney, old friend, you are beyond saving. But now, Disney, old friend, you are already dead.
Just wanted to mention a quote: "Bees can't explain to flies that honey tastes better than shit."
Headland: “fans don’t know what they want.”
Fans: okay what do we want?
Headland: force haircuts.
Force-scissoring.
This is great. I’m sure the modern audiences are loving this. They are supporting this show 100%. These modern audiences are so freaking amazing. I can’t wait for more companies to make more shows and movies and video games for them. This is just amazing who would’ve ever taught shows. Would be doing this good.
when disney plus fails who will wear the blame then, bob will probably take a golden parachute and eff off when the damage becomes to much
AWAH AWAH AWAH SHE SPENT 20 MILLION DOLLARS for one shot?!! It only cost 11 Million to make Star WARS! What the frick? John Carter went over budget by millions and they pulled the plug on a sequel. Water World spent millions and did not make its money back. How the studios let Costner do Postman is a big mystery after that fiasco? She in charge of a division?!! What is this, amateur hour at Disney? Who does she think she is? Coppola shooting Apocalypse Now now? If she did this stunt at any other film studio she would have been canned. When are they going to cut their lost. So what is she was buddies with Spielberg and Marshal. Let go back to managing script copies. What she got pictures of someone?
I saw the first episode of the Acolyte and when a assasins killed the Jedi Master, i was like WTF, HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?. I watched the second episode and felt like something was off and i found several videos about how suck the Acolyte was. Efter i watched the disaster of the Acolyte i stop watch the rest of them. It was a good decission and thank you guys for great advice. It really ruined the famous Star Wars. I hope Disney learn from this and do better....😃
I'm just grateful I never got any SW-related ink.
I went C'thulu sleeve...
Haaaaaaaaaa
I've seen more epic lightsaber duels in a parking lot at midnight & it didn't cost anyone a dime...
I think Leslie and crew thought this was their big 'cool' episode. I could see people on set thinking "what cool idea cutting her hair with a light saber."
Can't even go back in time to another galaxy to get away from this bs.
When the Yord character got his neck snapped, the guy should’ve said “this is for thinking, Anakin Skywalker blew up the death star”
Please tell me…
How does Bob Iger still have a Job?! How is Kennedy Not gone? Who hired these Activists?!
i really hope that this series shows the disney board that they should NOT renew Kennedy's contract and give her walking papers. how much money can she lose disney before they throw her overboard
Headland: "I know what the fans want even if they don't understand!" 🙀
Maybe the hair sequence was a nod to spaceballs. “ they shot my hair.”
How does KK still have a job, its absolutely mind blowing... I mean even if they finally fire her at this point, she will have made tens of millions just to ruin Star Wars. Crazy
At this point I am just begging them to leave the Old Republic alone. Leave something uncorrupted by Disney.
Seems like Disney will be able to just blame kathleen kennedy and not the woke message
The only people who can fail this bad at their job is meteorologists.
Why would a lightsaber fight scene cost 10 million dollars, where is the money really going
They should've just taken the whole show and locked in the vaults never to be seen
Disney gotta step back and listen to what the fans want instead of blaming the fans for complaining about bad writing 😒
The shows best moment is watching Manny be a sith in this episode, he's great at playing an evil villain who's slightly psychotic. He nailed it and made the entire episode
Yeah, he and Lee Jung-Jae's characters have been the only parts of this show that actually seem decent/worth a damn. Everyone else is just... kinda there.
@@internetzenmaster8952 Absolutely, he stole the entire episode in my opinion. Had an entrance and opening fight seen close to Maul. At least those twats at disney could get a sith correct because they sure as shit don't seem to understand what a jedi is.
I feel bad for Manny Jacinto. If you watch The Good Place you'll really gain an appreciation for his range as an actor. The dude is talented and it's a shame he's tied to this garbage heap.
Given the runtimes and the budget involved it's pretty obvious that scenes have been cut. Whether that's due to quality or creative issues is rather a mute point. They've tried to drag the scenes that did get the green light over the four hours. Terrible job, many of those scenes are reiterations of points already made and dead air that does nothing for the show. Absurd walking and talking, bad dialogue in corridors, the Osha/Jecki pointless scenes just to name a few.
The horned lady looks like she got her face paint kit from the kids section at Party City. Happy Halloween kids!
Dizney reminds me of that Uncle who keeps showing up drunk and wonders why he's a failure. Looks like our drunken uncle is going to ride it down in flames, learning nothing.
If the Disney board gets tired of having all these emergency meetings, all they need to do is fire her. Easy Peasy.
Can they just somehow remove Mrs. Kennedy? She is doing nothing but financial damage to the company.
They would have to admit what they will not admit to do that
180 million budget. 80 million cost over 8 episodes and 100 million propaganda payment. Profit not required. Far from a disaster for propaganda
A million dollars a minute is just insane
20 million is so crazy like…there’s absolutely no way that all of that cost that much
Have you noticed crazy "events" going on where $$$$ seems be thrown down the toilet? ALL the current wars for example. And this. WHERE is the money going?
Lore breaking garbage. Plus they killed off the two Jedi who were even mildly interesting.
Within minutes/off screen. Didn't even give them any respect - they were there purely to serve minor plot.
The 'white devil' jedi ..... she's my personal favourite. In one scene, "Jecki is a Jedi, she can take care of herself" ...... after her death ...."She was a child" ...
LMFAO.
WTF.
U need see show to end
This not about art in any form, it's about price gouging production costs. It's all about how much money they can make from these disasters. These millions are going to the production companies and the actors who are paid up front. The money losers in the end will be the shareholders.
It feels like i have watched acolytes indirectly after watching so many reviews.
Its funny how Leslie Headlund thought that taking inspiration from Rian Johnson would lead her to success
Disney/Lucasfilm is perhaps the only business in history that does not cater for its client base. Market research: irrelevant. It approaches the market in a way of how it thinks its client base SHOULD look like, not what it actually IS.
Light sabres are the only connection to George Lucas' Star Wars. And now Kathleen Kennedy and Leslye Headland have managed to even mess those scenes up. How do they keep their highly paid jobs?
The real question is is anyone protecting Kathleen Kennedy? If there is, who is this person or persons? Anyone, after so many failures, would have been fired a long time ago.
10 million!!! The old buffy episodes were usually under 3 million, there are still indi movies made for less.
What were she hulk episodes cost again?
What is the most expensive scene in history? Any idea what the most expensive CANCELED scene?
In November 2023, it was announced that Filoni had been promoted to Chief Creative Officer of Lucasfilm. Kathleen Kennedy was stripped of her creative power and marketing. Acolyte and the upcoming Skeleton crew are series she produced under her old contract with Disney. Once these are released there will be no more Kathleen Kennedy woke series anymore bcus Filoni is now CCO. Keep fingers crossed and look forward to good things to come!!!! May the force be with you all!!!!
Finally some new hope! I have had enough of Kathleen and Mary Sue characters. (It seems that 180 degree flip flops is s KK speciality.)
Thank god, get Kathleen Kennedy and Leslye Headland away from star wars!!!!
But will this new CCO Filoni be the next WOKE? That's what I'm worried about.
@@ZColdBloodZ Yeah. That is a necessity to get higher quality for sure.
Filoni approved all of this garbage. If you think that hack is going to save Star Wars, you are mistaken.
It's the power of maaanyyyyyyyy. Disney loves to ruin childhood memories even more then the former boss of Lesbie Headland.
It is like they decided that if they put a lot of diversity into a show and this have everything except Jaja brinks’ long lost cousin. They can do without a script, any storyline or any acting. Everyone would say it is great and just because of how woke it is. This is a storyline that a 10 year old would be ashamed of. Bland acting except for 2 male actor, no character development. Anyone involved should be fired and never work in Hollywood again. This was horrifically bad
All I can think of is that line from The Iron Giant: *"YOU JUST BLEW MILLIONS OF UNCLE SAM'S DOLLARS OUT OF YOUR BUTT!"*
Lmaooooo
So let me get this straight, Kathleen Kennedy hires these losers to create the Acolyte, who in turn waste millions on one laser scene, not to mention the horrible dialog, the really, really bad make up and props etc. THIS IS A COMPLETE DUMPSTER FIRE!
Bob Iger needs to fire Kennedy, apologize to the stockholders then resign. Period!🤨
Money used on wasted scenes and effects still is counted in the final budget. It’s why marvel movies are so astronomically expensive - it’s been reported as much as 50-70 % of cgi work is all for nothing bc of exec bs. So it wouldn’t tack on to the budget is all.
Idk how disney inst bankrupt by now. every movie and show theyve made in the last 4 years has lost them hundreds of millions of dollars.
The parks have been the thing that just prints money. That us why ticket prices have gone up 65% as well as food prices vlose to that while they have cut employment
Inside out 2?
The fact that not counting marketing cost The Acolyte costs almost match the cost of a movie and depending on the movie exceed it and it is doing this bad should be a wakeup call for the shareholders. I know this won't happen unless Disney faces complete ruin and closing down everything, but they really should get rid of every single person pushing all of this inclusive and diversity crap.
Love to hear you unpack the Daredevil debacle...
Great reveal about two massive losses of two very expensive lightsaber fights that did not make it to the screen.
Out of a shred of self respect, I was compelled to stop watching after episode 3. Peace out
How does a freaking PADAWAN still learning to train with a pole ALL OF A SUDDEN take on a "SITH" while DUEL WIELDING with two lightsabers?!? This is both even worse AND more pathetic than Ms. Mary Sue ReRe-Rey from The Farts Awakens and so on (to which I have REFUSED to watch any of the Dis($hit)ney SW's films, I just watch YT).
fair point….
ep 5 was a lot better and the fight scenes were good, but it still had ridiculous moments that just ruined it. The tree's falling the wrong way, Jedi knights/masters struggling against the sith and yet Jecki held her own, Jecki and the sith looking at her second saber turn on for 5 seconds, then Jecki dying with a blank expression, the moths carrying him, him saying he was a sith, the haircut.. too many problems.
I'm so looking forward to this era being over. I love Star Wars and when Disney wakes up they will have an awesome IP to produce some amazing content.
We've been waiting since 2015 for then to wake up lol. Not gonna happen. This is beyond business now. Its war.
Throwing money at something doesn't turn poop into gold bars
Fuck it, I'm writing my own version of The Acolyte and bringing balance to the force.
Disney and shareholders have absolutely no idea how much money has been left on the table and how much has been pissed down the drain. Billions lost from their shenanigans.
WHY is DIS still up for the year?
Sooooo how does she keep her job? I hope Disney is forced to sale the franchise off.
Maybe Cameron would buy it
Acolyte was made for woman
And yet the BEST ACTOR in there is *drumroll please*
A MALE!
Why would they leave the fallen jedi without burying the dead bodies and leave the light saber for anyone to find.
The Board should have told Iger and KK, they could get a one-time bump of $XX, however, every dollar that hits the cutting room floor will be deducted from bonuses and up to 50% of their base pay.
2:29 can’t get enough of these two
I really want to like it.. I love the idea of going back to the High Republic .. but this has been painful. My only hope is some how Sol is actually a sith
They end to do a financial audit on Lucas Film and Kennedy herself
Prior to this last episode, I had given up watching them... stopped... that's it... no more... BUT I find it so much more entertaining watching a grand variety of CZcamsrs like MZ who comment about the episodes.
Their biggest mistake was 30 to 35 minute episodes. Needed to be hour long episodes like got
Can’t express how happy I am at the community. I love Star wars but I wouldn’t consider myself a die hard fan - however to take what George Lucas created and shamble it so badly is beyond unacceptable considering the impact the Star wars legacy has had upon people transcending generations. Cudos for saying enough is enough
I love how the updates about how bad the show is, is more profitable then the show itself
Twins trading places. It doesn’t get more Disney than that. Oh, dead mother(s) and witches is so Disney. They’ve taken everything Star Wars are remade it in the new sad Disney style with some of their vintage gimmicks.
why arent eskimos and the amish being reprisented in star guars? I. FEEL. TRIGGERED.
Hearing about a helmet and armor that could deflect, and short circuit light sabers ...... there is nothing they will not try to destroy.
