It's ironic that Leslye Headlund thinks that it doesn't matter whether someone is good or evil, when she also implies that whoever holds a lot of power is evil. Because Disney has a lot of power, and would therefore be evil, according to her. So clearly she doesn't mind being evil if she's the one with the power!

i just love how star wars has the biggest and most devoted fanbase out of any other fiction, yet disney always finds a way to find people who have absolutely no care for the story to make their projects. One of the writers of this series NEVER watched any star wars movies. 1. How is that even possible 2. HOW DO YOU HIRE SUCH A PERSON??

[@erinm9445]

Tony Gilroy came into Rogue One with very little knowledge of Star Wars, and then gave us Rogue One and Andor. Meanwhile, the writers of Rings of Power were Lord of the Rings superfans, and they gave us the worst dreck ever. Sometimes a fresh perspective is a good thing. I love Dave Filoni's stuff, but it does all feel the same to some degree, and fresh ideas are needed. The real question is not are you a fan of the series, but rather, do you respect the series, are you interested in doing your homework, etc? Now someone who comes in and says, "it's not about good and evil" does seem to me like someone who doesn't really respect what Star Wars is about, given that Lucas himself said multiple times that Star Wars is about good vs evil. Star Wars is also about space nazis, so we definitely don't want to take this to a "there were good people on both sides" kind of place.

[@thedarkknight9805]

Happy birthday man!!! 🎉 Another great and thought provoking video! 👍

[@garrettjenkins6527]

Remember George Lucas said the absence of the Sith is balance. Not the absence of the dark side.

[@Arphemius]

3:00 No, George Lucas explicitly said that the dark side is the imbalance, so 10000 jedi and no sith would indeed be balance. It's not some sort of numerical equality.

[@abeaconintheoffice]

Then this is an 'issue' of semantics. Because "Balance" means equality = same number on opposite sides. Having only Jedis and no Sith doesn't sound like 'Balance', quite the opposite.

[@starwrs3468]

@@abeaconintheofficeit doesn’t mean balance as in amount. Balance is being used as a term to describe the state of the universe and the force. Balance as in healthy proper.

[@Arphemius]

@@abeaconintheoffice As starwrs3468 mentioned, health is a good analogy. The sith are the imbalance, they are the sickness. There is no balance as long as they are around, just like you are not healthy as long as you are sick. Your body is not kept in good order by being equal parts healthy and sick in some way.

[@erinm9445]

@@abeaconintheoffice No, balance is the right word. It's just that it's not a balance between light and dark, it's rather a stable (ie blanced) light side. The light side can exist in balance with the force; the dark side tries to pull the force/light side out of balance. I would argue that the Jedi had come out of balance on their own, and that's what allowed the Sith to succeed and create the Empire. They were out of balance in two ways: 1) Their allegiance to the senate was greater than their allegiance to the force; 2) They tried to completely stamp out emotion and attachment, instead of learning to live *in balance with* emotion and attachment.

[@psychfi4995]

​​​@@erinm9445 You were doing well, until no. 2 of your last paragraph. It's not that the Jedi ruled out emotion completely... Anakin had too much of it. George has said multiple times in public that attachment is bad. We tend to put a different weight on this word. But it's inherently bad. You have attachment because you can't let go, not because you feel something. There is no balance in attachment... And the movies were very clear about this. The conversation Anakin has with Padmé on that shuttle going to Naboo in EP 2, and when Anakin seeks Yoda's council in EP. 3, those are the scenes that convey this the most.

Prime Star Wars was 1977-2012. All down hill from there with one or two occasionally good things (Rogue One, Tales Of The Jedi, The Mandalorian) :/ but it pales in comparison to the plethora of content we were provided with in the expanded universe. Sure, some stuff wasn’t the best, but Luke was treated with respect, the gang was together, we got to delve into The Old Republic and amazing characters like Darth Revan, Darth Malak, Darth Nihilus, Vitiate, Bastila Shan, HK-47 and other memorable and iconic characters were created.

The no "Good or Bad" thing pretty much sounds like the path that the "Destiny 2" video game is taking. In the Starwars univers it would be: "There's no good of bad side in the force, but only users and what they do with this power."

[@reebonorton4175]

[@youwayo]

Im kind of glad Filoni wont have a major involvement in the Acolyte. If he did why try to find a way to shoehorn in Ahsoka somewhere :P

[@Chzydawg]

Even if he has as much control as they say, he likely can't use it without toeing the company line on their ideals. They like him because of the respect the fan base has (more like 'had' these days), but he's still an employee with a contract that no doubt says as much as "toe the line and get paid copious amounts of cash, or be edgy and get the sack".

[@Alpha-77]

I know alot of people don't trust Filoni now, but I have a possible reason as to why theres such a difference between what he did back then vs what he's done now. At the time of Clone Wars, Rebels, and Mando Seasons 1 and 2, that's all he had his focus on. When Clone Wars was in production, that's all he had to focus on. When Rebels was in production, that's all he had to focus on. Same with Mando S1 and 2. But now he has Mando, BOBF, Ahsoka, and the Bad Batch. He has so much on his plate that's its harder to put all the quality into all of them within the certain deadline. Rather or not Disney or Filoni is the one urging that these all be done in a certain time frame is the question. Just throwing that out there.

[@smugplush]

[@storme1v1]

​@littledogie8390 You can have balance and not have a Sith Order. The Je'daii Order understood this as there were Sith species amongst their ranks

[@lomborg4876]

You don’t have to be Sith or Jedi to use the light or dark side of the force. The force absolutely seeks balance between light and dark. It’s why The Sith were able to destroy the Jedi and form the empire. It’s why Luke (and Vader) was able to destroy the Sith and restore the republic. It’s why this cycle will keep repeating for eternity and why Kreia hated and wanted to destroy the force.

[@jaredvester]

​@@lomborg4876The imbalance is the Sith. And the darkness. There is a reason why when Star Wars has a happy ending, it's because the Sith has been destroyed, and there's finally balance. If Balance meant equal Sith and equal Jedi, then the ending of Return of the Jedi and the ending of Rise of Skywalker would be a terrible ending for the Galaxy, because it's now imbalanced since there is only Jedi left. But the writers, directors, George Lucas has made it clear. When the Jedi win, there is balance, and peace throughout the Galaxy. Hence the happy ending.

[@pilzner1118]

This is dead wrong. The Sith & the dark side are not the same thing. The Sith cause the imbalance, yes. But that’s because they abuse the dark side. The dark side itself is a naturally occurring aspect of the force.

[@gonzaw8539]

Sw Theory regarding "good or bad thing" The show is set around 200-100 years before TPM, at that point jedi had become arrogant as yoda says. I believe that the line "It´s not about good or bad, this is about power and who´s allowed to use it," is refering to how ( maybe) in the acolyte we will get to see the so perfect jedi order of the high republic starts to get corrupt and starts to resemble the jedi order of TPM by jedi realizing how much power they posses and becoming arrogant, and this could even be explored by a jedi turning to the dark side in this show.

[@valdotorg]

I think that makes a lot of sense. And if you look into the background of how General Grievous came to be, it’s because the Jedi essentially wiped out his people, because the other side of the conflict, who were the aggressors, was aligned with the Republic.

[@leefchapman]

I think exactly the same. "It's about power and who can use it". The Jedi forbade other Jedi from using the dark side... that's a power hierachy about power... I personally think that the Acolyte will be the Jedi - not this antagonist. They won't be consumed by the dark side but marvel at the power of the dark side which then corrupts the Jedi Order to the point where they become even more misguided in their order.

If trying to read this in a positive way. The "good guys outnumbering" could be that their power and forces outnumber the opponents. In prequels though there were only two siths they did control an equal or overwhelming force on the grand scale against the jedi. Episode 1 Naboo forces vs Trade fed forces. Episode 2 was more even-ish clones vs cis and episode 3 again equal until the clones turn against the jedis.

Marcia Lucas NEEDS to come back and edit every Star Wars project that she has not edited yet! May you have a Blessed, Healthy and Happy Birthday today Theory!

[@officialmonarchmusic]

She's a good editor, but a good editor can't make a bad project good. Unless there's cut material that needs to be added in, there's no real way editing can make a bad movie or show good

[@truelove11.11]

​@@officialmonarchmusic Not only is Marcia Lucas an outstanding editor, but she understands quality storytelling. She has made many suggestions about scenes that needed to be added or changed for the movies to work. She also previously has made George Lucas gather the actors in order to shoot new scenes when needed, so she is more than an editor.

[@jagerblitzen4017]

@@officialmonarchmusic Marcia Lucas is literally the difference between the OT and the prequels. She was the one who kept it simple, direct, and powerful. Without her around, SW became an unhinged runaway playground for every idea that hit Lucas' notepad and while the prequels had cool characters and moments, the overall narrative was a convoluted and overcrowded mess. Everyone can see this, everyone knows the OT is better, but the fact that Leslye dared to point this out in an interview once is half the reason Theory and his army of haters turned on her. For DARING to point out that sometimes, a smart man isn't enough to get the job done 100% on his own.

[@officialmonarchmusic]

@@jagerblitzen4017The OT is better. The prequels are great movies still. However, this is not because of Marcia Lucas. Any actual example of something she changed was when George second-guessed himself and took a scene out, like the “kiss for luck”, where Marcia persuaded him to keep it in. She probably would have left in most of the deleted scenes from AOTC and ROTS, which, don’t get me wrong, would have been great, but I doubt she would have had THAT big of an impact on the films. Furthermore, this is irrelevant. The things you are describing were not her editing work, they were her relationship with her then-husband. If she stayed on as an editor for the Disney projects like the OP said, she would be just that, an editor. A good editor, undeniably, but an editor nonetheless. How would she significantly change TROS? TLJ even?

[@officialmonarchmusic]

@@truelove11.11She is more than editor. Or should I say was. If she edited all the projects, she would be just an editor. Also, while she was all the things you said, I believe her impact has been exaggerated by revisionist history Lucas haters. The only moment I know of her persuading Lucas to change something was to keep the “kiss for luck” in the movie. There were doubtless others, but this makes me think her largest role was persuading George to be confident and not second guess himself rather than adding completely new ones

[@roguelyrics8427]

I had a very far left co-worker say this a little ago: "You don't still think evil exists do you?". I've also seen talking points about this online. Moral relativism...too deep to go into here, but a very dark and uninformed way to look at life.

[@lagonwellsmusic]

Agreed. Subjective morality is incredibly dangerous.

[@Stegibbon]

That's nothing to do with being far left. I'd say a very large part of being far left is recognizing the evils happening in the world. That's just your co-worker being dumb.

[@winlew]

Fully agree. We'll be entering a dark era soon if we don't change course. This brand of moral relativism has some roots in postmodernist thought and is becoming a popular way to view things. A key feature in the appeal of Star Wars, in my opinion, was that it drew a clear line between good and evil, light and dark. But that seems to be coming to an end.

The Acolytes should take place on the Planet Lesbos 😂

[@Maria_Espino]

Star Wars is meant to be David vs Goliath. A tiny force of good vs an empire of evil. I think the line means that even good people can be corrupted by power. And that part I get!

[@user-tc1fw5ms5s]

Yo happy birthday! Thanks for all the content you make

"We have to watch the acolyte and see..." We really don't. I've seen quite enough red flags (to use a term I'm not a fan of, but it seems appropriate here) to give this one a wide berth.

Disney has done an awful job at getting kids to love the current Star Wars, my siblings who are all between 11-16 all like the ot and prequels but not the sequels and I wonder what that effect will have in Star Wars in the future

[@SG98Films]

My man, I don't know if you'll see this but listening to your interview with Sadia Khan made me realise how much more knowledgeable and smart you really are so my recommendation is this: I suggest an overhaul of this channel so you can turn it into one where you can talk about other franchises, movies, and entertainment as a whole. Because Star Wars is dead and beyond saving. Activists with propaganda run it now so interest is going to go down and down and with it your views and subs For your sake, I think Star Wars doesn't deserve your full attention anymore. Your talents deserve more

[@mac_neil4840]

Happy B-Day dude. Hope your eye is doing better.

Sauron : "There is no good or bad. It only happens that I am allowed to use power so all just drop your weapons and get on your knees. Thank you." Harvey Weinstein : "Did you hear Lesley ? On your knees ! You know what to do next, don't you ?"

[@Millsy3]

Happy birthday man! May the force be with you

[@ContemporaryCompendium]

The line "it's not about good or bad, it's about power and who's allowed to use it" is a common belief amongst social justice (now DEI) advocates. They claim that those in power are actively oppressing minorities and preventing them from holding any kind of real power. "It's not about good or bad" is a justification to achieve this power, ie: by any means necessary. It's a very sinister type of thinking where the ends justify the means and if the line separating good vs evil is erased, then whatever methods used are not at all in conflict with any type of opposing belief system. It's not lost on me that it was a black female that stated this line. The fact that Theory couldn't wrap his head around the use of that line doesn't surprise me. He seems like a genuinely good dude that only wants to see the best in people. For good or bad, I'm assumedly a little more jaded than he. TL:DR - The Acolyte will be another proponent of THE MESSAGE

[@nocturnal03]

that's just a bad take. SJW definitely believe they're good and that the oppressors are evil.

@@IndianaJake no it is and we need to point that out. It's hurtful because it advocates bad morals in the guise of being good morals. It's divisive because it discriminates those who do not believe.
