The Gonk droid design looked awesome! Planning to finish the 7 episodes and hopefully it will get much better. Not even gonna bother watching the toxic reviews from other fans.

[@pinoyamericausmc783]

If someone doesn’t like a Star Wars series and details why they didn’t like it, does that make it toxic? Why can’t it just be someone’s opinion?

[@louskywalker9656]

It was so bad I unsubscribed to Disney plus. So many complaints. Terrible acting, story, direction, dialog, pacing, just so much stupidity.

[@OnlyOneKenobi]

🤯 wow! 👍

[@meccanised]

I liked the start of this story, High Republic is an interesting time to explore. Cheers.

[@OnlyOneKenobi]

Which books do you recommend?.....

[@meccanised]

@@OnlyOneKenobi they recommend reading all of them in chronological order, I have only listened to book reviews to catch up on things.

[@mikewatkins3533]

Myself. I’m the first Generation of Star Wars. One thru Six and Rogue One. The movies, shows, merchandise has gone down. They have lost their way creating memorable stories and characters. Now, it’s about gender and feminism. Sad and Shame. Cheers OK🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺😎🎸🎸

[@toomworld]

And yes, Andor is the absolute best!

[@DarthPantherJ]

I thought it was good. Looking forward to next week.

[@sinceunati]

I actually found it fast paced and entertaining. Not my favorite but definitely not bad at all.

[@TALON80s]

I had a weird experience with kenobi, I feel like I went into it with too many expectations and wasn't too bothered but I was sick for a week and watched it again and loved it! 🤷‍♂️ the thing that drove me mad with the acolyte was putting out a fire in zero G and clearly the flames and fire extinguisher were in real time with gravity 😂

[@michaelhynes7717]

One thing that I didn’t expect was how much visual storytelling the droids do, like they’re just different enough in how they’re more simplistic and bulky that it really makes it feel like it’s a hundred years before anything we’ve ever seen. I like the prequels but I do remember as a kid thinking it was weird how sometimes the tech looked way better than the original trilogy stuff

[@pinoyamericausmc783]

I haven’t seen the Acolyte yet, but as always willing to give it a fair go. Though I do look forward to seeing the scene where the Jedi tells the padawans to close their eyes and the Rodian can’t…LOL. That scene alone makes me want to see this😂

[@mustang_orbit170]

Thanks for the information. The last live-action Star Wars I watched was Mandalorian Season 2. I have kept up-to-date though, by watching your videos and Charlie Hopkinson. Andor is the only series I'd consider watching. I am currently re-watching the Clone Wars (Filoni) TV series. Great to re-visit.

[@Nopse6]

I didn't like the trailers, thought that this show would be garbage, but so far, I have nothing to complain about! I enjoyed the first 2 episodes!

[@OnlyOneKenobi]

Nice 😉👌👍

[@dausyahaya]

We definitely need a TVC Wookie Jedi!!!

[@vadertronstoychest]

I actually really liked it HOWEVER killing of Carrie Ann moss straight away really pissed me of cos she was a bad ass as a jedi

[@OnlyOneKenobi]

Spin off series!!! 😉🙏🤞

[@toomworld]

I've liked it so far, more than expected. My hopes were low though. Let's see where it goes.

[@OnlyOneKenobi]

Cool man! Be interesting to see what happens in ep3!? 🤔

[@user-kz5gw7xe4o]

"Pull the thread!" 'Star Wars' now reminds me of 'Glen or Glenda' for more than one reason--none of them good. ("Pull the string!")

[@OnlyOneKenobi]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@joemacca6478]

Pretty much in agreement. IMO Andor/ Rogue One rank only after A New Hope and Empire. I thought the Acolyte was good- I'd heard reviews and predictions that it would be lousy, so I'm happy it's decent. Better than decent. It's way better than BOBF by alot.

[@timulewicz466]

My thoughts mirror yours nick, cool breakdown dude! I’m not going to watch any other reviews. Let’s see episode 3 and hope it continues to intrigue 👍nice one man 😎

[@4Kmichelinstarmovies]

I didn't like the trailers but actually enjoyed it, i liked the Andor vibe and on-location set design and different planets and aliens, i also like the martial arts aspect too hand to hand combat. Master Sol is very cool

[@dazrann2169]

My theory is bad guy is the original knight of Ren.

[@OnlyOneKenobi]

That would be interesting! 🤔😉👌 Lord knows, that whole ark needs expanding given they FAILED so spectacularly in the sequels 😏😏😏

[@justinreilly6619]

Pleased you liked it! 👍 Yeah, I've seen a lot of reviews, not read them, don't want spoilers, but no-one seems to like it. I'm going to watch the first episodes this weekend. My anticipation is tempered. I'll make up my own mind. So I've watched a minute and a half of your review, and that's it from me. But you enjoyed it, with caveats. Good to know. Hope to enjoy it too!

[@brianjohnson5063]

A couple of interesting episodes with the good and bad twin and the trade federation ship and some different worlds .

[@joephuz1]

I thought it was good so far and looking forward to it. Liked osha character and sol. We’re gonna need osha in TVC asap, and the young girl jedi. The thing I’ll say about all the sequels and shows is that even the worst of them (ahem Obi wan) have really great Star Wars moments in them, even if the story sucks or whatever there’s great moments. Rooms lookin epic man!🎉

[@ernestmuric6719]

Can you please do a review after episode 3 of the Acolyte.

[@OnlyOneKenobi]

We'll see... wasn't planning on doing week to week, but we'll see how it is! 😉👌

[@armlesswalrus]

I'm right with you Nick. First two episodes were really solid, none of the problems that plagued BOBF, OWK or Mando S3. Those negative KZbin reviews are talking BS - there is no "woke" agenda with this as far as I can see. Yes there are some female characters - so what, yes there are multiple ethnicities - so what. All good so far for me.

[@StevanVasic]

I like to wait for all the episodes to be released and then watch it all, one after another and then judge wether it's any good or not?? Some episodes may be a bit slow and lack action and you may judge the whole thing on that episode and not watch the rest. Watch it all at once it's better than way and then you don't have to wait a whole week to see what happens next. Forget about it then binge them all.

[@aqualishdoug933]

So far so interesting. Better than Ahsoka, Mando Season 3, BOBF already. I like that there’s no legacy character baggage so far.

[@OnlyOneKenobi]

Well said. 👌

[@aw9307]

I loved it.

[@kevinlucas76]

I agree with your take, a good start to a different timeline.

[@80sKid.]

Handheld droid Pip stole the show! But yeah, I enjoyed it. Pretty solid overall. It's not noir, tho Crime & mystery, yeah. Noir? Nah. Keen for that Wookiee Jedi to go off in the next ep....

[@jamesringland6141]

I liked it. The mystery element of it kind of reminded me of Kenobi running around in “Attack of the Clones”.

[@stanleyayora3451]

He visto muchas criticas y me parece que voy a pasar en esta serie. He visto todo lo que ha salido de star wars (con excepción de Resistance). Al parecer tiene demasiado contenido woke y no es algo que odie, pero me aburre que todo tenga que ser acerca de eso ahora. Por otro lado, excelente contenido en tu canal, mate. Llevo ya un buen tiempo siguiendote y siempre he apreciado tus videos y tu sentido del humor... sigue con lo que haces, que es muy entretenido. Saludos desde México 🇲🇽🍻 Long story short, Im gonna pass on this one and love your good work! Cheers, mate! 🍻

[@lingertherabbit6653]

Simply a decent start to a Star Wars that helps to widen the frame to the Skywalker saga.

[@brickingoutloud]

It’s great to have a show set outside of the Skywalker saga. The premise is pretty good, I like the concept of Jedi detectives and the the characters were likeable except for venestra (if I’ve got the name right) she was annoying as hell every scene she appeared in. Sol is the standout, he has a bit of Qui-Gon about him and the grace and gravitas of a Jedi. But it all still feels so small and confined. The Jedi temple should feel cavernous and not these tiny wee rooms. The word is the next couple of episodes are ‘last Jedi’ awful so that does not bode well. And Disney got it all wrong with the marketing and messaging of this show with the whole identity politics stuff. Even if it turned out to be a fantastic show it has already been lost in all that noise. Andor remains the gold standard for how these shows should be (and yeah Mando 1 &2). They should get those Andor guys in the room and have them teach all the rest of these writers, directors etc how to actually do Star Wars. Had high hopes for yer wee man Filoni but not so sure anymore. Anyways I do hope the Acolyte turns out to be a genuine good surprise.

[@dantooine4279]

I tried to like it - I really did!! Some nice imagery but the writing was weak (much like the new Dr Who)

[@barrysanderson6100]

Thiccc lightsabers 😂, can I get a ‘braaaaah’ 👍

[@benjamindobalina7493]

Agreed. I don't agree with all the KZbinr's saying we need MORE content.. What we need is GOOD content, and this was decent so far.

[@margaretwood152]

🤔 In all Honesty: If you understand anything about Story & Character Structure, you will find that *The ACOLYTE* is below basic & is indeed pedestrian story-telling. I heard a Parent's quote that said it best: "(The Acolyte) is too *_Dumb_* for Children -&- too *_BORING_* for Adults." 🎞👎 (And just wait for Ep. 3 -&- 4.....apparently it will *_"BREAK_* Star Wars." ~ Film Threat/Alan Ng )

[@XJMX]

I enjoyed it for what it was. Prison ship/droids/characters was great. Some acting wasn't, but no worse than Anakin in Episode 1! Lots of interesting Jedi, and the first live action Zygerrian. Not amazing, but entertaining enough.

[@user-cn7ou2gl6v]

Over all The Acolyte was good. Not great, not awful. If the producers do it right, there can be potential. Ground work and foundation always had to be laid. I’m looking forward to the rest of the season!

[@trooperwolfie]

It didn't exactly blow me away, but I also didn't think it was garbage either, there are some very negative people out there who are going to hate whatever Disney put out. I went into watching the acolyte as someone who doesn't particularly like Lesley headland, but so far it's not bad. I'll keep an open mind for what's to come.

[@williamrodriguez-ws8if]

I have enjoyed the first two episodes. Although I love the OT, and prequels, I'm happy they're telling a story apart from the Skywalker one. I like the characters thus far, and also like that we don't really know what's going to happen to them. I like that it's a mystery as to who's orchestrating the killings, and what did the Jedi do that might show the beginning of they're downfall? Obviously one of them was willing to take their lives over something. Oh, and a Wookie Jedi!

[@danrichter9002]

The show was okay for me. I don’t think it achieved the grand scope it was aiming for. Some of it looked great and some looked and felt a bit cheesy. Still hopeful the rest is good.

[@davidkelsey3085]

Yep wasn’t that bad. I’m a High Republic fan and it really gave off that vibe. Episode 3 was a bit boring.

[@jmsparger4339]

To make it simple.. The first trailer: Voiceover begins with "close your eyes.." as the camera pans to an alien youngling that has no eyelids. 😶 That's enough for me to avoid wasting the money on Disney+ which I haven't done since the end of Obi Wan after the Book of Boba massacre. The ACOLYTE trailers looked like a Jackie Chan/Jet Li Drunken Donkey Gagging Dragon with Glo-Stiks.

[@OnlyOneKenobi]

Shane. Coz you've now missed out on Amdor.

[@jmsparger4339]

@@OnlyOneKenobi oh no I caught Andor. Sorry about that.. It was great but could've used more aliens. Yeah that's was brilliant. And the other two I mentioned started out that way like Mando.

[@MisterJ.J.]

I read and heard The Acolyte was extremely gay. When I actually watched it seemed mildly to moderately ambiguously gay. Not over the top...yet. lol

[@grantcriddle1326]

Dull Scooby Doo Pantomine Cosplay. Star Wars: The Next Generation

[@OnlyOneKenobi]

😂

[@katherynet1424]

I couldn't ever take to the mandalorian season 3. it just doesn't work for me. The Acolyte has bad dialogue and interesting sets, but bad script with some bad acting. I was literally bored through the first two episodes. Hope it gets better. Some of the costume designs look like cheap cosplay.

[@rolltide5059]

So far, I’m liking it. Didn’t have any big expectations before it aired, since all I’m was hearing was negativity. Hopefully it doesn’t get dragged down later in the season with the usual Disney crap.

[@scottborham2838]

The crouching tiger Kung Fu fight scenes were just stupid and have no place in Star Wars. The alien masks all looked like cheap left overs from Star Trek the next generation props department as they did in Mando. The sets just looked cheap. Some of the acting is just terrible take the fat Jedi guy for instance. And the Jedi wookiee Kelnacca well I thought it was Harry from Harry and the Henderson's. This just the typical hit and miss we have come to expect from Disney. With more miss than hit.

[@margaretwood152]

[@XJMX]

'I heard a parent's quote'... Course you did mate. OOK if only you could understand anything about Story and 'Character Structure'. Hahaha.

[@funeralmotors2994]

Funny how they are supporting and quoting stupid sequel ideas like that shirtless Kylo Ren hahaha

[@OnlyOneKenobi]

😂

[@animal5529]

No wow factor to it, not holding my breath.

[@muftak293]

I was least excited for ANDOR and loved it more than any of the other live action shows! Acolyte was watchable

[@nigelfisher6594]

Very dull… poor pacing and no real investment in the characters…. Ratio women to men is disproportionate…. Should have aliens …. Was just not invested so far …

[@OnlyOneKenobi]

I didn't really notice that... nor did I do a head count! Hehe, coz it was hard to tell die to human to alien ratio top keep in mind... I'm not saying youre wrong.... but seemed to be plenty of blokes to me?! 🤔🙃👌👍

[@sithlord2225]

I loved it! I have been very down with SW content due to the general animosity of the fanboys trashing everything, but watching the first two episodes really reinvigorated me! This looks fun, it feels very SW, the cast is great, I'm loving it!

[@OnlyOneKenobi]

Hopefully.... it'll stay like that 👍 I've not been watching them, but folks have been kicking up a fuss already about ep 3?! Despite it's not out yet! I guess we'll see.... 👀👌

[@mitchelljohnson1010]

Really enjoyed the Acolyte. Think people are utterly spoilt and just can't process what good is these days. That dark side user at the end Ep.1. The voice. Brilliant.

[@PathDoc22]

I like it so far. Let's see where it goes. Pleasantly surprised. I see some people using the "w" word for it. Hate that word. These are probably the same caliber of folk who didn't want Billy Dee Williams playing Lando back in the day. Lucas set out to include everyone in his vision of the Star Wars Universe.

[@JoshButtSr]

I feel it was just another poorly constructed, mediocre, poorly paced and dully acted piece of Disney rush to streaming fodder. I don't feel it is telling a Star Wars story. Dull characters, no establishing shots, rushing from one scene to another with wipes, even if the scenes take place in the same location. It just feels like "content" and not Star Wars. One thing that actually made me laugh out loud was the death of Trinity (Moss). For 25 years we have seen characters get cut in half and decimated with light sabers and survive. Then she gets stabbed with a tiny knife, like so small it didn't seem like it would even go through to the heart, and she falls dead where she stands. Then the episode ends in the middle of a speech as the bad guy turns his lightsaber on for no reason. Then the Jedi that can't keep his eye on the shop and is like "Where did he go?!" And another Jedi committing suicide... on screen?!?!?! This is a show of just things happening. Sad that they can't bring in people who really know and love Star Wars.

[@sithlord2225]

You must be fun at parties...

Boring as hell...

[@OnlyOneKenobi]

[@DaveReece-uh3le]

I must be watching a different version of the acolyte because this show is incredibly boring, the casting is pathetic, there is no theme music. On an aside, you must watch SQUID GAME. The show is incredibly original, incredibly addictive, incredibly well written. The acolyte is none of that.

[@DEATH2thaSTUpid]

Will let you know on messenger..too much to type cheers Nick🍺🍺🍻
