How This One Man Is Going To Save Star Wars...

[@kixwhisper]

I think the biggest deal is if you can make lightsabers seem like the biggest most dangerous weapon not just a hot pool noodle. Edit: I’ve never had this many likes thank you!

[@albababtout8158]

In reality lightsabers would really be dangerous weapon. Scientifically speaking if a real plasma blade at 9 million degree C° stabed you for more than 1 second it would vaporise all the blood in your body in an instant. So it would one shot anything unless it's a clean cut.

It may have been impactful but frankly, I thought they were the best part of the show. After that I was like, oh look, someone who got more air time just died... Didn't like that one much anyway... Spoiler alert! I will say that I was surprised to see Disney do something where, basically everyone of importance to the store (more or less) dies by the end. While I personally am not usually a huge fan of those kinds of stories, I do give them credit for taking that plunge. That said, I just couldn't get invested into the store or the majority of the characters. Which for me to say that is almost like saying I don't like breathing. This is the VERY first time I have EVER said I didn't like a star wars store. Bear in mind, I'm someone who thinks rogue one was amazing (despite everyone dying) and Solo was one of the best movies they've done!

Disney's best lightsaber fight was Asohka vs Maul in Clone Wars season 7. The choreography was amazing, the stakes actually mattered, and the weapons were actually deadly. People like this fight (in the Alcolyte) because int was flashy, not realistic.

[@ibrahim43406]

He probably only meant live-action. Because animation choreography is very different from live-action choreo

[@Jon-rv9oh]

@ibrahim43406 the fight between Ahsoka and Maul was basically a live action fight because of the highly professional motion capture suits and technology they used.

Acolyte might be the best, but that doesn't make it good imo. Sure, was action-packed but you can still tell it's a choreographed spectacle, not what it should feel like: an actual fight or massacre.

[@Blimbus-Blombo]

The biggest issue that I’ve seen even with the prequel fights is when they aim for each others sabers instead of each others bodies. It’s hard because that’s the natural tendency when choreographing sword fights, or even when you’re fighting with your friends because you don’t *actually* want to hit them, but the characters *would* be wanting to draw blood.

I’m sorry but cringe dialogue is as classic Star Wars as the opening score. Once you just learn to accept that and stop looking at the old ones with nostalgia lenses the only writing that was cringier than OG Star Wars dialogue was the chant. I loved the Acolyte but I will not defend that chant, they did the witches dirty. lol phrasing. And as much as cutting the dialogue can make the fight scene better you’re ignoring the other things like the music! That’s the other great thing about Acolyte they got a guy that’s famous for doing music in horrors for Jordan Peele and it shows when Smilo Ren lands behind May that’s a chilling moment. Like other then the chant all the new themes for the characters and the reuse of classic stuff tweaked to be unique for the show, my favourite being when they cut to Courscant (sp) and it was a reworked version of when Anakin sees it for the first time.

Couldn't agree more with you Edgar Wright, or Matthew Vaughn (Kingsman, KickAss), or David Leitch (Deadpool, Bullet Train) these directors know action, world building, pacing, dialogue, and the kind of humor that fits in Star Wars, like in A New Hope. Will they do it? Hell, I'd love to see a Quentin Tarantino Star Wars movie, as a director that has made modern takes on Spaghetti Westerns and Kung Fu movies, he knows the influences that help create Star Wars, imagine what that would be like, not that Disney would ever be that brave or give over the kind of control to great directors to make great content.

[@TheChristianPsychopath]

It's terrible choreography and makes no sense plot wise. The Sith had no reason to take on that many Jedi, and it was counter to his goal of staying hidden to do so. Osha joining him after watching him kill everyone just makes her decision seem much worse. The idea of setting a mystery in High Republic era was good, but kicking off the High Republic in live action with a show that seems to hate Jedi was a mean spirited choice. Not sure why Disney is so determined to kill off likable characters. But it's a depressing cycle.

Qimir only wanting "Freedom" after Jecki dies vs spouting all his beliefs in an attempt to make him likeable by explaining away his actions Removing Osha's dialogue made Fjord's return (that now is a surprise) more hopeful that Osha's safe and he'd turn the tide. Which made Qimir much more intimidating when he just instantly killed him Then to have Osha (who didn't get to safety) to show up right when Sol is about to lose...which would be a great lead back to the story.

Sry, but Star Wars has so many fighting styles, that a slower fight like Old Ben and Vader make sense. The fight even though not bad, is confussing and way to flashy. I like when a character like vader uses a slower style, but with more power. Reys bad fighting style is also okay if Kylo would have been better. My point is that there exist fast and slow lightsaber combat and if put right could expend the story. There exist this one scene where Maul meets Kenobi after a long time and there fight is over in three strikes, but every move has meaning and you can see there history with every swing.

[@MaceDeMarco2010]

So… are you going to talk about the ST5 trailer or…?

[@TheLuconic]

At 5:50 yes it is too much to ask. Cuz there is an agenda with Disney and the people that were hired didn’t care about Star Wars enough to even get some huge parts right. One of the actors believes it was Anakin that blew up the Death Star…….. it was Lando. Well first Luke and then Lando along with the entire rebellion. Point is, the same actors in the Acolyte don’t even know Star Wars and don’t bother to do homework on it. Cuz you know the actress who played Lucy in the fallout show? In her interview she literally said that she did a whole lot of research and even played two of the fallout games to under the franchise more. She said she didn’t even have to do that but she wants to feel hyped when playing the role as Lucy the vault dweller. That shows care and commitment. She’s literally in the same boat as the actors in the acolyte but the major difference is that she had respect for the franchise to learn about it. Again, the actress who played Lucy respected the franchise of fallout by learning about it. (I don’t know her name but I will cuz I like her that much! Also I’m bad with names and I take forever). Leslie doesn’t care, the actors hired don’t care, Kathleen Kennedy doesn’t care about Star Wars and it shows. So to them, it is too much to ask for good Star Wars content. Cuz they are too busy turning the world gay for no reason at all. Their woke agenda.

[@acrippledlittlerata9491]

That is not all of Star Wars

[@mng7872]

I didn't hate the fight but I just think that Jecki lasted way too long against the sith, especially considering how easily he disposed of some of the fully trained Jedi. Also, fighting with 2 sabers is not that easy to pick up, yet she was immediately good enough to duel the sith the moment she got both sabers. We haven't exactly seen ALL her training, it could have involved fighting with multiple sabers but considering the fact we saw her literally saw her swinging a stick in class in the previous episode, that seems extremely unlikely. Edit: I realise that isn't really a Christopher Cowan thing, more of a writing thing. I really like his action direction, loved both the Kingman films, and loved the return to high pace fighting in the Acolyte. Wish it had been written to make more sense canon-wise.

What? How can you even say that those lightsaber fights are good? And from that to say that we all agree is the thing done well in the series? You have not listened to the people who knows or cares about good choreography

There are still a lot of problems with the fight scene, watch a breakdown. Other than that, it still is the best Disney fight scene..

Combats ready sabers are pretty good but for some stupid reason they use prop sabers :/

[@acrippledlittlerata9491]

I truly wish this was satire the fight’s the show it’s all just so ass

[@morvish1925]

The problem is that I think most people are now no longer interested in star wars anymore thanks to Acolyte, and so now while maybe the lightsaber fights get better, and the plot could get better, it won’t get to that point because Star wars won’t make enough money, and it’ll be a done franchise.

[@acrippledlittlerata9491]

The fights aren’t even good and don’t get started about the plot

[@Venzynt]

These lightsaber duels are better, but I still don't like them. The reason for that is the lightsabers still don't blur/smear like the prequels. Not sure if its the props or the editing, but Prequel way had lightsaber leave a blur/smear of light when they were swung. Disney doesn't do that so they still look wrong to me.

Actually I only like the acolytes saber fights cuz of how generally entertaining they were. But from a realistic and combative swordsmanship perspective these fights SUCKED!!!!

[@Automaton237]

Star Wars aside from the original trilogy always had that issue.

[@BigBreadBoi]

The fights weren’t good I’m sorry… they are clumsy. The sabers look plastic the same as Ashoka and obiwan. It’s bad and shiny I’m genuinely confused how this shit is different from Ashoka… manny is just slightly faster, the wire work is still awful and awkward.

[@RealDragonKing1]

Bro talks about the lightsaber fights, instead of how the show is so bad or just the show in general. Also the fights are not the best at all, best of Disney but not of all Star Wars. Vid idea: I watched the Acolyte battle of the Sith in .25 speed.

[@zwidowca1]

This fight is bad lmao. The characters miss all the time and swing out of measure non stop. The skill of the fighters is also completely inconsistent. Not only that they use WAY too many kicks. If you have time to kick, you have time enough to swing your sword and end it. The fight is immersion breaking AF

[@Automaton237]

Do you have the same thought with the prequel fights most of those fights have pointless attacks that don't make any sense and at some points characters don't attack.

[@zwidowca1]

@@Automaton237 The basic difference between these fights is as follows: prequel fights usually have a few silly things sprinkled across them while this garbage show has made the entire fight into an utter joke. In the DOTF or the Mustafar fight actors try to either engage the enemy weapon or to "hit" the opponent. In this show the main bad guy literally swings like an idiot and misses by such a margin, that the Jedi would not even have to dodge sometimes. Not only that, he does not even aim at them properly. When you watch this slowed down it is an embarassement. The other problem is the fact that the skill of the combatants is 100% inconsistent. How can a f*cking padawan give this sith a run for their money when the sith just 1 vs 5ed Jedi masters... Don't get me wrong, the prequel fights have these silly bits as well and they are also worth discussing, but holy shit. This show is so much worse...

[@nameless3200]

Honestly I think at this point I’m just tired of all the shows made by Disney are just completely disneyfied. SW feels like marvel and marvel feels like some random show on Disney channel. Like I’m fine with some shows being like that but I feel like the reason Andor truly took over as much as it did beyond just the writing was the themes, the setting, and the overall feel of the show. I feel like the hallway Vader scene also captures that feeling a bit by just allowing Vader to be Vader. I could go on and on but SW should feel distinct and honestly the only time it feels that way is when we get a show with the CW animation but then you can’t even enjoy it cause of other reasons. I’d like to believe these fights in acolyte are a step in the right direction but I just don’t believe they care about delivering anything good.
