The Jedi are like: we have the right to test the children...with your permission of course.
The witch mother: No, you do not have my permission.
Roll credits
That's a weird plot point... the witches AREN'T part of the Republic AFAIK... thus the Jedi DON'T have jurisdiction AFAIK?
Would be a better plot
I love your thumbnail with Dr. Disrespect driving the van 😆😆😆
@@bethanywallace8575 whaaaaaaaaat
All characters --even those based on real people-- are entirely fictional
Allegedly
It's actually interesting, just how poorly made this show has turned out.
Poorly made? You’re being very kind.
This show is pure diarrhea!
There it is, we finally know what the smoke monster on Lost was...
Lesbian Witches.
I learnt that the wookiie was using the metal detector to look for a plot.
No wonder they were there for months
A child runs and tells you there is a fire. None of the (65?) adults go to put the fire out.
@@doro626 they were too busy gathering into a group so they could sway back and forth to mind control the Wookie they didn't know was going to arrive
Sol needs an ankle monitor. They definitely ruined him as a character but not in the way they meant to
Man he was such an awesome character until now
Creepy PDF Jedi. Didn’t expect that.
He’s not a pedo. Come on guys! 😂
3:37 SOl realized that he needed to work on his aim with the force. He spent the next 16 years grabbing small things from falling, so when Osha fell off the mountain on the ice planet, he could grab her.
@5:50 Gentleman! Don't ask questions! Just wait for the next episode, haha
EDIT: Haha, that whole break-in discussion @17:02 actually makes this episode sound fun.
I really hope the final episode is Simlyo Ren flashback to 16 years ago that would be hilarious 😂.
@@PersonallyPerhaps he was ALSO in the forest following Sol!
Love
One weird plot point.... they don't tell the padawan until they've been there 7 WEEKS why he's here, or what he's helping them do.... might have something to do with why he wants to go home.
I just clicked on your video to congratulate you on the thumbnail
In a galaxy, far far far far far far far far far far far far away, but not far enough away we wished make it stop please!
Dune 2 had a budget of $190 million USD. The Acolyte costed $180 million. Can't believe the difference in quality...
'Slice' is the Star Wars version of 'Hack'. I think it came from the TTRPG though I could be wrong.
@@Quotheraving I finally bothered to google it and a "Slicer" is just a hacker and "Slicing" is hacking but I can't see anywhere except Acolyte where it's referenced as "Sliced" as a verb or past tense.
Wookiepedia says it's been referenced in like every game but I can't for the life of me remember that and it doesn't show specific uses, only comics
@@burgunbeerdSliced or Slicing is used in Kotor 1-2 and is one of the main skills you can use. The MC if you spec into it and droid companions can slice consoles and doors. So it is hacking and only used in games, SWOTOR also mentions slicing however it isn't a skill used like the single player game.
So, everyone makes the joke about Jedi kidnapping children. But is there anything in canon that supports this? I haven’t read all the books and comics, but I always assumed kids went with the Jedi with their parents blessing.
I mean it’s repeatedly established that training is a requirement to be dangerous. So if parent say no, what’s the harm? But, like Anakin, I thought most people would want their kids to go and live a better life. Am I incorrect in this?
I believe in clone wars it's stated (or atleast implied) that the jedi get the parents/guardians permission. I know their was an episode where I believe doku hired some bounty hunters to get a list of recorded force sensitives baby's so they can trick the parents into giving them to the separatists, but I can't fully remember all the details but I'm pretty sure the parents knew the kids were told their kids could be jedi, weather the jedi gave them a few years to think it over or accept the inevitably is something I'm iffy on.
As far as I know it was never stated and to be fair its totally dumb. In a galaxy with hundreds of trillions of inhabitants it would be totally impossible for Jedi even to test all kids if they are Force-sensitive. Majority of younglings would actually come from planets and families with ties to the order (old favors, veneration of Jedi, etc.). Rest would com from chance encounters during missions, like in case with Anakin.
In EU there was an author who believed Jedi to be evil. She called them fascists (non-ironically) and tried to introduce idea of Jedi kidnapping kids. Her name was Karen Traviss and fandom hated her
`Size matters not` Yoda. A rock or a ship. 2 bridges or 2 children, it doesn`t matter
I agree. There should have been no episode three. 3 and 7 should have been episode 6. Then we would have two episodes to wrap all this up.
Haha the doc Cameo 😂😂😂
that is NOT any real person and any likenesses are completely in your own head!
@@burgunbeerd There's a better show than this and it came out in 2019 on Fox. It's called The Passage and it's about a vampire girl who is the key to solving an illness. The Agent who was supposed to bring her in is like Sol's character and quite affectionate so he tries to help her and dooms his ENTIRE team in the process. The girl is also being invaded (through her mind) by a The Stranger/ Qimir type who is eager to turn her to the dark side. Please review it, side by side with The Acolyte, it's sooooooooo much better and the chemistry between the 12 years old girl and the Agent is beautiful and ends tragically.
The actor that plays Torbin sure does love offing himself in his roles, huh
@@Hercules_Flexing he's like a self ending Sean Bean
Great episode, funny, and funny editing. How does it feel? Lol
21:42 pause to see Sol stabbing her in the lower right stomach which wouldn't even be fatal
I saw the trans comparison immediately. Yeah. Sol calls Trinity master, so Im not sure if he and the Wookie are masters at that point, but she basically kills the most powerful Jedi first, then the least powerful, then she goes for the Wookie. I guess she was saving Sol who actually killed her mother for last, but then why doesnt she kill him earlier on the forest planet since we know she saw him kill their mother with her own eyes?
Has Sol's "behaviour" ruined him as a character for you? And was it in the way the writers intended or is he just kinda creepy now?
Sol is creepy now but it's absurd because that wasn't a part of his character in the previous episodes, nor is there any hint of Sol's creepiness from Osha. Bad writing has destroyed all the characters.
there is no way this padawan Torbin completed the Jedi trials with this clouded guilt surrounding him. remember the trials isn't just a test of strength and using the force well. it's about Mind Body Emotional Spirit. Jedi Academy would have sensed that and Torbin failing not only a Jedi Knight but never becoming a Master
@@wegojinx7053 great point. There's also no story reason at all for him to have reached master and then decided to coma meditate for 10 years since he just dies anyway
When will Disney learn?
Witches got unplugged from the matrix
It baffles me how bad this show is.
Disney seems to copy existing shows and movies but thinks we don't notice. The Acolyte seems like a mesh of The Passage 2019 and Wish 2022. WISH seems like it was tweaked from Twitches movie - starring Tia and Tamera who are twin magical Princesses who have to defeat their evil uncle the King Thantos. I think they realized this and Asha being a princess, King Magnifico would've been her uncle so they made her a civilian. The Passage has the father daughter dynamic between mentor and child and it was done better in that series than between Sol and Osha.
When you pick terrible writers and a complete idiot for a director... you get this. It also goes to the oversight on the script BEFORE you even shoot or approve this garbage. Who would let this sophomoric tripe to even get past that level?? Surface nonsense with no depth that falls apart and contradicts itself at every turn. Exposition that never ends. BORING. Poor pacing and poor editing. You could find about 30 things wrong in each episode that doesnt even cover the basics. 180 million. I wonder WHERE the money actually went. It wasn't in FX work. The speeder bike scenes... I could do those better on my home system.
@@suzygirl1843I was going to say that I see the whole Gemini twins merge coming from the Vampire Diaries.
@@persephone342 Oh, I dropped Vampire Diaries after Season 4 ended I think
Rocks be lit..!!! 🌋
I thought they were going for the differing POV perspectives. The lazy, mystery box writing of the "unreliable narrators" which answers nothing itself and just leaves interpretations down to the audience. It's even worse than that as they decided to make the Jedi POV the "true narrative" perspective and yet tell us absolutely nothing we didn't already know. At least anything of consequence. EVERYTHING in two whole flashback episodes could have been done in one minute of intelligent character exposition. My God! The incompetence level on display is shocking.
Yeah the idea itself of each twin remembering it differently is quite interesting and can be used successfully.
But here it's just pointless filler
OMG! Somebody's mad at mommy and daddy cuz they didn't get the Star Wars toys theu wanted for Christmas! Whatever shall we do?!
SERIOUSLY Marko is not wearing pants or undies.
