Disney made a DELIBERATE choice to piss on the core fans of STAR WARS.
Yes, Darth Ruiner has had an impressive reign so far.
How so?
That's about the most accurate assessment that I have read about Star Wars!
What makes it worse is that they SEE it’s failing and costing them money and they CONTINUE to do it.
bingo. The attitude is "well if you dont agree with my politics fuck you aren't a fan"
"Hatred leads to the Dark Side, apathy leads to no longer paying for Disney+" That's the best Star Wars quote in the last years!!! 😅😁😆
I just had surgery and the anesthesiologist commented on my SW tatts and asked if I was a fan. I said Yes and he immediately replied: "but fan of the old ones, not the new ones right?" 😂
😂
Yes, that's what's so sad. We have to specify now which eras of media franchises we are fans of because so many of them have been ruined.
I think Star Wars died the moment when they get Sold to Disney 😭
truth
What about the first two seasons of the Mandalorian, Rebels, Andor , & what IMO is the second best Star Wars movie ever, behind Empire Strikes Back…Rogue One: A Star Wars Story
@@rodneylindsey849That’s what pisses me off most. Rogue One proved they could make an outstanding movie. Then they sacrificed all that on the alter of diversity and inclusion. A pox upon all their households.
"Star Wars" died in the 1990 when George Lucas put that other crap into the original 3 movies. Did not mind the High-Definition versions which enhanced the watching experience, but all that additional garbage that was later added. Oh yeah, and "Star Wars 1" or whatever that garbage was.
The Prequels killed it.
As a hetero half white male I`m not allowed nor is this for me according to Disney executives, producers and actors of the show, so this will be a pass for me!!
The _New Jedi Order_ arc had multiple writers with multiple worldviews, and yet they coordinated their storytelling--and actually cared about writing good stories--and produced the most epic arc the Star Wars franchise has ever seen.
Disney Star-Wars-in-name-only has multiple writers with one worldview, and that don't give a vrelt's choobies about quality storytelling.
@@KororaPenguin Don't remind me how great the EU is and how Disney just ignored it for blue hair and butches.
Stop fvcking crying...damn
And then after they say all this "It isn't for you" crap they get pissed that you didn't watch it and you're a bigot because you didn't watch something that they state, "wasn't for you". That's crazy talk.
@@halbleavy9900 Green, blue or purple?!
Looking forward to Anakin destroying the Death Star!
I can’t wait to see Anakin meet with his Father, Darth Maul and the part where they go to Emperor Tarkins throne room.
Can't wait for Han to get Chewbacca out of the carbonite.
Yaaas! Yasss!
😂🤣😂🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"Apathy is death."
Apathy is death
That quote is attributable to Kreia for anyone that may not know. Hands down my all time favourite force user in the entire franchise. So very well written.
Full on entropic decay.
I just read that in Kreia's voice.
@@garethholman1050 I'm just glad Disney doesn't seem to have any interest in KOTOR II and I hope it remains that way.
I don't even want to imagine how they will 'reinterpret' that masterpiece if they decided to pay any attention to it **shudder**
Well no, they told me explicitly that it wasn't made for me.
one of the cast members said anakin blew up the death star, enough said about how much “care” was put into this crap.
He did... you didn't see in ROTJ when Anakin used the force to teleport himself out of Vader's body, then as a force ghost....teleported tons of bombs into the Death Star, and then.... as a force ghost.... exploded the bombs with force lightening?
and killed millions while destroying it!!
If he said in once, okay you meant Luke and it’s a simple mistake, but he actually said it twice in two different interviews🤷🏻♂️
It says that nobody involved had any respect for the universe. So many actors that were hired for superhero movies weren't familiar with their characters, so they read a bunch of important books to understand the character they were playing. That's the mark of an actor that cares about the project and wants to respect the material. These dopes only care about DEI, representation, etc. This is why these shows and movies fail so hard.
It means the company is hiring an anti-Henry Cavill. You know that guy? Someone who knows and cares about the lore; and will callout the writers and directors on their ignorance and failures.
As a man in society, I was told by Disney that they enjoy making men uncomfortable, thank you for the heads up Disney and I’ll stay away as you warned me to do 👍🏼🤡
I used to be such a SW fan that in 1983 I bought a bootleg VHS tape of Empire Strikes Back. It was virtually unwatchable since you could only see shadows moving on screen, but the sound was clear enough. It was all I had and I watched it repeatedly. Today? Everything is hi-tech and hi-res and frankly worthy of hi-apathy. I had high hopes when Disney bought Lucasfilm, thinking they would be good stewards of SW. Well, that faith did not age well. 😒
I'll go one better than that. Before video, I bought a Super 8 reel of scenes from Star Wars. With no sound! But I was still excited to have it. Nowadays if anything Star Wars walked or crawled into the room on fire, I couldn't muster the effort to take a whiz on it to put out the flames...
@@chaburchak Oh, how I remember the days of actual film… 😎🎥📽️
@@chaburchak Rightly said.
@@chaburchak When I was a kid, I listened to the whole movie of star wars on a record player. The record came with a picture album which I followed while listening to it.
I'm so sick of seeing franchises being written by people who want to use it rather than those that love it.
Star Wars is dead. Please, bury it!
They won't, they took the corpse, made it a vodoo doll and will toy with it until it is a rotten carcass...
@@Tamachii12 And they put Mickey Mouse ears on the corpse
Sad but true. I'm a lifelong fan and will always watched the good stuff, but this along with many other NEW Disney IP is not in that category.
Like Anakin's lightsaber. 😏
They're not done beating it.
A long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...there were some lesbians who killed the space patriarchy...and alienated an entire fan base beyond recovery
And headland got to groom for herself alone. The old emperor cannot take her prize anymore.
The entire selling point for The Acolyte from Disney, from day one, has been how it's "diverse" and "inclusive". That's it, that's been their marketing, that it's diverse and inclusive. That is literally all you need to know about this show and more than enough reason not to watch it. If your main selling point for any movie or show is the fact that its cast/characters are diverse and inclusive, you've just broadcast on the loudest megaphone in the world that everything else that is necessary for a good story is going to be either sorely lacking or absent entirely.
Wrong. That was about 5-10% of the marketing. The rest was actual show content that the grifters you watch don’t cover.
@@oXRaptorzXo you obviously watched literally nothing of the interviews that multiple cast members had, kathleen kennedy and all of the advertising that wasnt a single trailer. congrats.
It’s almost impressive how egotistical this has become. Instead of focusing on values that we strive for to be better people, let’s focus on what gender I enjoy in the bedroom or what race I represent. These are the most shallow people I’ve ever seen. It’s all about themselves. There is a way to represent that as ideals of acceptance in a macro sense. But when you do it at micro level it just comes across as selfishness.
@@oXRaptorzXo Go collect your check from KK and stfu.
@@oXRaptorzXo All of the interviews Leslie and the cast have been in crow about how "diverse" the cast and characters are. Leslie herself (who is gay) flat out said that of course she was bringing her "queerness" (her words) into Star Wars. They actually talk about one of the characters being a lesbian witch.
None of which should ever be the focus of a STAR WARS production. It's fine if those aspects are in it amongst, you know, actual Star Wars stuff. The lesbian couple that was absolutely crowed about in Rise of Skywalker, the one that the production hailed as being the first lesbian couple in Star Wars... that lasted about 2 seconds of screen time. Was there anything wrong with it? Not even remotely, however there was no reason for it to be brought up unless the production team wanted it front and center unless they wanted to push that ideology over a fun, epic sci-fi adventure.
The fact is, Disney and everyone involved in Star Wars these days doesn't actually want to work on Star Wars. They're just using it as a vehicle to promote their own personal ideologies and tell you you are a horrible person if you don't ascribe to them as well. There is absolutely zero reason whatsoever for 21st century AMERICAN (because this is 100% an American-driven issue) sociopolitical issues should be injected into Star Wars. People do not watch Star Wars productions because they want to be beaten over the head with modern day societal problems, they watch them to ESCAPE from all of that and join a group of heroes on an epic sci-fi space adventure against the forces of evil... which by the way Leslie and co now say doesn't exist anymore, so I don't even know why there's any conflict in the first place.
The fact is, this show is going to bomb just as badly or possibly even worse than the shows that came before it and only serves to cement the notion that Star Wars, once one of the greatest cinematic franchises of all time, is dead courtesy of Disney.
Ahsoka was crazy because the CGI cartoon made her into a bad-ass and the live action NERFED her big time...Ugh!!!!
I will always say rosario dawson was miscast. She's so monotone in everything.
Dawson is ok. Very monotone. Very wooden. The Sabine character was very poorly written though and really hurt as did the weak storm troopers
So so true. Rosario Dawson absolutely LOOKED the part, but played the most flat dead boring version of Asoka I could ever imagine. Woman said she saw the clone wars? Really??
Who were you imitating then? Cause it sure wasn't what we watched for 8 the last 15 years since she arrived on the scene. Ashley Eckstein is amazing
@@mr.nimbus537 no she was perfect. It's not the actress's fault it's the directors and the script.
@@mr.nimbus537 I agree with that 1000%. She also wasn’t able to bring the physicality that was necessary during the fight scenes to do Ashoka justice.
Apathy is the worst because you don't care enough to even feel anger or disappointment. It's like the black whole where all feelings go to die. This video was a W for sure.
Full on entropic heat death.
We're not mad, we're just disappointed.
Apathy is death.
Once again I failed the "Snarky Jay's eyes are up here" challenge.
She is an obvious winner of the genetic lottery, great skin, great face, great body, great brain, and good proportions. Her takes are awesome and well thought out. However, once I start her videos I have to switch to another tab to be able to focus on the content and not the delivery system.
You’re not alone.
She doesn't care where your eyes are, as long as you're viewing this video. Tiddies == $$$
She does have nice eyes though
Not really the intent, if we are being honest.
I’m looking forward to taking my kids fishing tomorrow.
You win the comment thread!
@@dereklocke18 🕺🏻
time well spent
Sounds more fun than this show will ever be
I can remember when I first saw Star Wars in 1977 in pretty much an empty theater on it's first weekend at 13 years old. It was actually the worst theater in the city where all the bad movies were sent to which tells you what the distributors thought about Star Wars viability(all the sequels went to the high end theaters later on). When I came out of the film I had my mind blown away by seeing something I had never seen before in a film and lines up would stretch around the block in the weeks afterwards. I never thought I would lose this great love for this story and franchise but boy was I wrong. Disney and in particular Rian Johnson drove a stake right into it, killing it forever. It is almost a crime against moviemaking, storytelling and art.
I was 12. Well said, I couldn't agree more.
Star Wars died when the Force Awoke back in 2015.
It died when Anakin whined “You’re holding me back..!”
To be fair, Rogue One was quite good and brought us one of the best characters in all of the franchise (Donnie Yen's blind monk).
I remember when everyone thought that Star Wars was going back to its roots after the Luke scene in the second Mandalorian Season......... How ignorant of us.
That scene was terrible dude. Mando fell off during season 2. It started doing too many episodes focused on other characters and always finding excuses to take his helmet off and show his face. He was already being pushed aside. The scene with Luke is one of the worst scenes in the series. There is no real reason for Luke to be there. Because they chose to de-age Mark Hamill the direction of the scene has restrictions. In that scene his face is obscured for obvious reasons. It's simply a hallway of robots so there aren't even any stakes. When he has dialogue again they have to obscure his face and only show him speaking for a few seconds before cutting away.
Why do all of this when you can just cast an actor to play Luke and then you can use him however you want and let the actor's face emote. How is it that making sure the audience can visibly recognize Luke as he appeared in the OT MORE important than the story you're trying to tell?
It's not.
Best Star Wars moment I've ever had in a tv series.....even my teenager was excited......then kathy got her mitts on bobba fett terrible......asoka even worse...and now this sh*t.........I wish Jon had the same power that Ryan has with deadpool.......he should have been put in charge creatively of the franchise, like how he built up iron man.
@@Lockn3s5 The Luke scene saved Mandalorian.......you might not have liked it, but 99% of fans did......they nailed it.
@@Designsecrets saved it? How? Luke wasn't a character in the over arching narrative of the show. He shows up at the end with shitty cgi face takes Grogu and leaves. What about that scene makes it so special? Again Luke's face is entirely obscured during the action portion making it a complete waste. And then during his speaking portions he's severely limited and obviously cgi. Tell me how narratively important it was
@@Lockn3s5 If you didn't like the scene that's fine, but for me it brought back the magic of OG Star Wars, and even my teenage boys loved it. For 2 minutes, the build up, the subtle hints at who it could be, they nailed the story telling.
1000 times better than the turd kathy has been doing with disney star wars.
Watching Princess Leia flying through space was the tipping point for me. That whole movie was just terrible. But still I thought “at least I’ll get some awesome fight scenes”. Then I saw the throne room scene. 😂😂😂😂 What a total joke of choreography. How did that not get cut?
Exactly right, thank you
We don’t need to see “The Acolyte.” This isn’t the show we’re looking for. She can go about her business. Move along.
What I want to know is why Leslie Headland isn't in jail?
She got off on insanity because she doesn't know the difference between good and evil. Dang all holly weird grooms peds and sleazeballs. And Why does her brand new very young actress look at her like a brainwashed c*lt follower. Her training has paid off for her.
She's a lesbian and she's part of the elite. Plus, I believe she has incriminating dirt on important people. Someone that far in only survives if they protect themselves. Disgusting!
Never give a groom-er access to your children. Never. - Ne-o
Yeah, I’m 45 years old and the first movie I ever saw in a theater was Return of The Jedi as a 4 year old back in 1983. I loved Star Wars. Read the comics, books, played the video games, and bought the figures. Now I just don’t care anymore. Luke will always be one of my heroes, but I don’t care about any new content. I’m good. I’ll watch the stuff I like when I feel the need. But, for the most part I’m over it.
Disney lost me after they killed off Han Solo.
Still got original trilogy on VHS. Not another penny from me.
@@user-wt2bk7gw3k I have the DVD’s of the laserdisc transfers. I watch those.
Disney played musical chairs with starwars and forgot which chairs had music
That's not how musical chairs works. I'm so confused.
I'm not sure that you understand musical chairs.
You guys don't understand..
Starwars is the musical chair, Disney forgot what musical chairs are, and fkd it up.....
That’s still not how musical chairs works. There’s no musical chair. There’s music. And chairs.
@TheFibtastic That's the point.. Disney don't know how starwars works..
The real problem is that Star Wars was supposed to be a story, not an endless torrent of "content".
Or worse...
An endless stream of social just-us force-fed (pun intended) dishonest bullshit about left-wing ideology buzzwords. And a new lack of self awareness where only the fans are to blame for its failure.
You made an excellent point about people just "hate watching" Star Wars now. Sad but true...
When the Acolyte book came out, I was excited. The book is always soo much better than any movie could ever be. Ya...not so much. I couldn't wait to put it down each evening. Instead of 4 or 5 or 6 chapters per night, I struggled to finish 2 and the characters were so forgettable that I had to write a chart to track the people. To this day, I still haven't finished the book, and I'm the guy who read War and Peace...twice.
I think the diehard-love everything-disney-makes fans will watch it but actual star wars fans like myself won't. They've repeatedly ignored us or called us bigots that many fans are apathetic now.
Mondays can always be better when you have a beautiful lady call out bad star wars ❤
Don't give a F about anything Star Wars related since The Last Jedi. Haven't spent a dime on a single show, movie or game in the franchise since. The universe is being milked dry, and it doesn't have any integrity left. It's over for me, and I've moved on. R.I.P.
What's being done to Star Wars is like if your ex-girlfriend got rights to your stuff and created her own version of your product, making it a bad parody just to spite you. In this case, it's to spite men or what they call the patriarchy.
I think to celebrate The Acolyte, I'm going to binge watch the original 6 movies, then re-read the Heir to the Empire trilogy. This will forever be the 9 chapters of the story for me!
When I look back on how SW used to be, it really does seem like an entirely separate franchise.
Hatred means you still care. Apathy means you don't care.
This isn’t about the “toxic fans” hating a female-focused Star Wars. Hate requires passion. All that’s left with us is apathy.
Apathy is death. Worse than death, because at least a rotting corpse feeds the beasts and insects.
I won't say I will not watch it, but I also don't pay for Disney +. By the time I have any chance to see it I'll have already heard all the reviews from people like you that will watch it just so you can review it and tell me all I need to know.
Thanks for taking one for the team Snark!
To answer the title: only the FNT and EFAP guys who are probably gonna make a f**k ton of money sh*tting on it.
Not since the Star Wars Christmas special has this property seen such a disaster in the making. Being a child of the 80's I too was into everything Star Wars for decades, but all I have now is apathy towards it. I don't care if it's the best thing ever written, I wouldn't watch this display of self sabotage if they paid me. The writer is an insufferable egotistical spoiled brat with the mental and emotional development of an overgrown toddler who is creatively bankrupt and incapable of achieving a mediocre amount of success on her own merits. Sure, some people will watch it, but not enough people to make it profitable. This will only be enjoyable as being seen as the dumpster fire that it will be seen as for years to come as last breath of a dying franchise that doesn't have any more fans left.
Happy Monday Jay!! I think not Jay 😂
Am I going to watch it?
No
Am I going to laugh at its failure?
HELL YES!!!
all i want is Darth Revan is that too much to ask. Or just a show strictly about Sith and make it Rated R.
Imagine if they let Favreau and Filoni do Star Wars without studio interference (Kennedy)?
My feelings about Star Wars are like Cinderella's castle. Star Wars ended with Luke redeeming Vader, and the Rebels' victory over the Empire. Everyone lived happily ever after. Cinderella fit into the glass slipper, and she went on to live with the Prince in his castle. They lived happily ever after.
But wait! The castle is built into the Disney opening logo. Every time the Disney name comes up, we're all staring at the castle awkwardly, while Cinderella and the Prince are just trying to live their happy life. It's the same thing with Star Wars. The story basically ended, and yet we're still staring awkwardly into their galaxy, hoping something interesting happens.
I'm getting from Disney that the plan is to alienate the old-school fandom, and rebuild the brand with the Gen Zs that grew up with The Force Awakens; who support this type of Star Wars.
Yea but they don't exist
Didn't Gen Z grow up with the prequels?
If anyone grew up with the sequels, it has to be Gen Alpha.
@@irvinreevesinbaraj6134 Yes! You are right.
@@GadrielDemartinos 👍
I am completely apathetic to Star Wars now. The only thing I'm actually interested in is watching the Devil Mouse burn itself to the ground.
Surely there's got to be a raptor center near Disney World, where Mickey could be fed to a convalescing red-tailed hawk.
The moment Leslie headland was announced as director, I knew this was going to be the worst thing to happen in disney star wars. This is the same woman who preaches about standing up, be an ally to women. However Leslie sure didn't stand up for women, when she was the personal assistant to Harvey Weinstein. Leslie headland kept her mouth shut.
4:31 "At least until Disney sells to somebody else"
Glad I'm not the only one who has realized the inevitable conclusion to the Disney Star Wars saga.
Star Wars is still a thing in 2024? Huh, who knew.
I will watch it .... I hope its enjoyable tho and lore is accurate as I know people are really hesitant on this show and I can see the reason why but will see.
Dave Filoni already said last year they arent concerned about continuity and lore accuracy because he views starwars as folk tales that get accuracy lost in the mix of the tales being told "a long, long time ago"
Also it being set during High Republic is purley so they have freedom to go more wild since High republic is new era and being established
Also if youve been following the press tour Lena Headley is lookong to make something conpletley different and had people in her writters room speciricallt who nevr seen starwars so she could make something thay basically isnt starwars
So this wont have much of that "starwars" feel this show is made for people who never liked starwars looking to get in or old fans who want something completly new as well as people who wanted more queer storytelling who feel left out of starwars
So yaa good luck but unless you fall into those 3 this show is really narrowing its demographic to a niche audience
Im sure some will like it but this is a weire project for starwars to spend so much om promoting when they are lookong for a narrow market
@@greenkidd529 wow thanks for the information appreciate it .. oh man this is gonna be rough .. also thank you again for quantifying it making it easier to understand
You have just summed up EXACTLY how I feel too. Literally everything you said was on point!
Disney's strategy is to milk the franchise and put out as much content as possible. Then when in doubt, sell some toys and merch to make up the money. An actual good movie is the last thing on their totem pole.
Keep the crap Star Wars going!! It means more Snarky Jay to watch!!!!! LOVE YOU!
Exactly jay Exactly. Star wars is death, return the legends universe now.🙏🏽🙏🏽
As Disney tightens it's grasp on the Empire, heroes emerge that are strong with the force to take down the evil that has corrupted the world, Snarky Jay and The Critical Drinker are the heroes we need right now. God bless those people fighting the good fight on the front lines of the war.
Well tbh I haven't even seen a trailer for the acolyte. You're right, Disney just fcked up too many times and we're done. Over. No more Star Wars ever
The Acolyte was never made for a Star Wars audience and especially not a male one. They knew it was going to bomb, but they had to get it out there so they could woke butcher Jedi history and lore. "It was always like this..." they'll say.
The thought police have begun.
I bet Disney pulls this show before fall season with a million excuses
There was an article on the "Kotaku" website (one of the ones made by the company that was Gawker) that is already saying that anybody who doesn't like this show is a "bigot." WTF.
Better to be a bigot in their eyes than a supporter of their rubbish. Lol
@@robgoffroad "Oh you don't like broccoli? Guess you're anti-vegan." These company runners, whoever wrote and says shit like this are childish, don't know anything about the world and should just f off and not be taken serious (Insert Ricky Gervais speech at the oscars).
@@robgoffroad This is paper trail, so when it does fail people (they) can go back to the article and claim it was bigotry. Why do you think they make sure to delete our comments prior/during/after?! So the only "argument" with a paper trail left is their version of the narrative!
The problem with the Acolyte is that there are too many red flags ahead of the shows release. The biggest being Headland's strong push for breaking the boundaries of Star Wars. She clearly doesn't like George Lucas, and has said comments that support this, and the strong push for agenda over story. Not to mention the recent interview labeling fans as bigots and misogynists from Kennedy. This show is a miss. Who would want to watch a show that mocks you openly?
The only red flags is the diversity push and the homo stuff. A Sith story has been wanted by countless fans
I missed your videos Snarky! Glad I can see them again
I see Jay in the thumb nail and I click...I don't care what she's talking bout I'm here for it lo😂l
Maybe I am the one who more “Star Wars Fans” than your Star Wars fans friends, I growth up with the trilogy, but I am still happy to see Book of Boba Fett makes Boba lives again, and I am really excited to look forward to the acolyte. Something maybe get wrong but it’s good to see Star Wars keep going forward
Def, good points. In my view Disney Star Wars started to be sus after TLJ....Been down hill since then.
One of my biggest regrets was donating my original Star Wars trilogy VHS tapes. I just kinda assumed I'd get them on DVD... but the only ones I see are all the "improved" versions with the extra stuff that Lucas threw in. INCLUDING the whole "Greedo shot first" crap. I want the original trilogy, in its original form, when they were first released.
Harmy’s Despecialized is your saving grace.
Idk how they did the first two seasons of mando so good. And then just head downhill with everything else after.
Couldn’t agree more.👍
By the way…Snarky Jay is “Jaded”?😁 Snarky Jaded! 😆👍
Absolutely! Apathy is the very worst. Something is truly terrible when I neither love it nor hate it. When I can't bring myself to even get riled up about something, it truly isn't worth anything.
I've been a fan ever since 1977, but after The Mandalorian fell apart in season three, I canceled my Disney+ subscription. The only enjoyment I get out of new Star Wars shows and movies now is watching videos like yours, Critical Drinker and a few others which tell us about the new shows. Thank goodness for people like you who understand what is going wrong and who aren't afraid to stand up and point it out. Thanks!
Seen the first star wars film over 3000 times, first watched it in 77 in the cinema, I can watch it another 3000 so I'm good.
Gave up on Star Wars the moment Disney brought Lucas film.If you want a Boba Fett adventure, read Tales from the Bounty Hunter.
2:37 Kreia: Apathy is death!"
Jay(ded) summons up what Disney/KK must feel when they look at the skeletal remains of a once magical franchise. 😿😔🤔😔😟😕☹️
Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work
I could not agree more with absolutely everything you said in this video spot on
I have literally fallen in love with you all over again🤣🤣thank you Snarky Jay, i could not have said it any better myself, fantastic post...
I’m not jaded, I just don’t care anymore.
Feeling nothing for Star Wars frees up time for better things. I know.
I gave up on star wars a long time ago, Disney killed it.
Happy Monday Jay!!
Here lies the starwars story line… like having a drunken one night stand, it was good when it started, then we woke up 😅🤦🏿♂️
Obi-JON Kenobi, "I was once a Star Wars fan the same as your father...before the DARK TIMES...before Disney, Bob Iger, and Leslye Headland." ;)
Disney COULD HAVE taken soo many new approaches to this Acolyte show. Like, seeing old Jedi akin to the Knights Templars…
You either die a hero or live longer enough to watch yourself become a villian.
When I went to see The Phantom Menace for its 25th Anniversary rerelease in the theater there was an opportunity to see a sneak preview of The Acolyte after the movie was over. The moment the credits started rolling I chose to go take a crap instead.
I couldn't watch it, so I put the preview on and thought I would let my tortoise watch it instead - she closed her eyes and went back in her shell within 15 seconds....says it all really.
Totally off topic. But I took my daughter, who’s 14, to see the rerelease of The Crow this past week and she loved it. Total daddy/daughter night. I wouldn’t have known it was going to be in theaters if it wasn’t for you. Thank you
You enjoy each and every one of those moments. They truly are the forever moments you cherish.
Honestly, this is the first SW project that I flat out refuse to watch. I regret viewing some previous projects, but the toxicity surrounding this, since Celebration, has soured me from the get go.
I felt the same with Rebels and Ahsoka. I totally get it.
George isn't without blood on his hands. It is he who switched Han shooting Gredo and he who introduced the concept that force strength is determined by Midi-chlorians count and not training. If Midi-chlorians count is everything than being born lucky is everything. As far as I am concerned that's like being a fan of Cleopatra because she is a strong leader. She was born into it. If she had different parents she would be in the fields cutting wheat.
the only starwars i watch now is CW, bad batch, og trilogy and prequels. the fact id rather watch the prequels over the new stuff says a lot. RIP Starwars.
On the real, I can’t express enough how heart breaking and disappointing it is to see Star Wars being treated the way it has by Disney and Kathleen Kennedy and everyone else involved that’s responsible for turning Star Wars into a ghost of itself. Like every Star Wars fan ever, I grew up on this franchise. I ate, breathed, and slept Star Wars and to see the way it’s been handled is like if you had that one asshole bully who takes your favorite novel or comic you’re always reading and just snatches it out of your hands stomps on it, Rips it and sets it on fire and then just hits you across the head and gives you the finger and tells you to get over it and you’re the problem. Since then, I just try to avoid anything Disney Star Wars and have accepted that Star Wars is just never going to be what it used to be, unless someone who actually cares about the franchise steps in and takes over Kathleen Kennedy’s spot at Lucasfilm and turns things around? I just don’t see any hope. I’ll always have a love for Star Wars, but just not Disney Star Wars.
My GF bought me a SW shirt and I was not happy. I told her not to give Disney any money on my account.
I feel the same way
Kathleen Kennedy is not only destroying Star Wars but also her grandfather (Walt Disney)'s legacy.
I can't comprehend why Iger and the board haven't fired her and put an end to the insanity. I mean, WHY would they allow her to continue to run the company into the ground?...
Unless she has some serioua dirt on them that she's blackmailing them with.
Aside from that... It makes no sense. It literally goes against the rules of a successful business. SMH
a shame they ditched the extended universe. to this day it remains the dumbest decision they’ve made.
This video is pretty much how I personally feel about Star Wars right now
Dang, that’s crazy because other than the sequel trilogy, I’ve rather enjoyed everything that Disney has put out. I plan to watch the crap out of The Acolyte and every SW fan I know is planning on watching it.
This show will be just as damaging as the TLJ was, maybe even more, because the TLJ was just the first s show. The acolyte is probably going to be the final straw... or maybe finalx2 straw as I think Ahsoka was really the final straw for a lot of holdouts.
I’m not going to watch it, ever. And all the media shit I’ve heard with the characters and the director’s take on them just pisses me off. Like the r2d2 being lesbian thing? It’s a damn robot. Let me throw a line back at some of the stuff the media has said before, “Don’t label everything and everyone. Stop with the labels.” I got rid of my Disney+ too cause of the bs they did to Star Wars
Star Wars was cremated in a Galaxy far far away a long time ago...i canceled disney+ few years back...short answer is absolutely not
