The Acolyte Episode 7 Is F***ing Shameful (Review)

The Acolyte episode 7 released on Disney plus today to some horrible reactions by audiences. And it's easy to see why as Disney has chosen to make The Acolyte all about how the Jedi are evil, and this episode truly doubled down on that concept, which obvioulsy will anger most Star Wars fans who view the Jedi as heroes. In this review of The Acolyte episode 7 I go over all the terrible decision made by Disney with this episode and also offer solutions to the issues Disney has created in Star Wars.

So they had her LITERALLY attack the Jedi then when she gets stabbed she decides “it’s just a prank bro”??? Truly stunning stuff from Disney

[@exosuite]

The audience will then tell you that this is actually a souble subversion because she only said this to make them feel guilty and thus proveshe's evil.

[@craigjacks588]

Yeah, maybe opening with, "Oh, I'm letting my magic child go with you" BEFORE turning into a mind-controlling dark cloud would have been a smarter move then attacking first and revealing sensible words that any sane person would say later.

That's why writers like Headland have to make crap up about the Jedi's bad actions and overlay the bad guys' complaints with things they want to scream at their ideological opponents.

Its NOT in a well-established Jedi's character disobey instructions FROM THE COUNCIL, and to suddenly out of no where have weird obsessions with a random kid he just saw and had zero interactions with, and having overwhelming emotions and feelings, having a pissy fit with his fellow comrades. Even Qui-gon was calm and collected and respectful when debating with the council to let Anakin be trained.

How can it be that after years and years of training that this padawan still hasn't grasped the idea of being SELFLESS, OBEDIENT, FOCUSED, seeing the BIGGER PICTURE?? Furthermore, why would he even assume that just getting the girls would be a sure path back home when clearly they only make big decisions after speaking with the counsel? And on top of that, they could have brought the girls to the counsel, and literally sent right back out to investigate further because they still didn't know HOW the "vergence" existed there in the first place. This was literally just another Episode 3 with some additional scenes that doesn't reveal anything other that Sol killed the Mother Witch which nobody in the audience cares for anyway. If its' going to be a reveal, it should be Sol revealing that story to the evil twin, and yet we see NOT A SINGLE shot showing him and her, or her reacting to these revealed truths which defeats the entire purpose of the reveal because there is no reaction or consequence or resolution. And the entire fight scene was also stupid. If she was fighting Sol and basically winning, why would she mind control the Wookie only to...continue fighting him? And what happened to the Acolyte? Of course Headland will say "oh well we wanted to explore those questions in season 2", but the reality is season 1 was a disaster and didn't set anything up correctly for the audience to be even remotely interested in a season 2. Good riddance

Disney: "I feel a huge disturbance in The Farce, as if millions of SW fans were cancelling their subscriptions."

[@raynerstuelgalid]

They really cheap out and bought a run-of-the-mill metal detector from the nearest neigborhood hardware store for a prop. I mean, Jedi can move in hyperspace and they made do with 20th century metal detectors?

[@MrBratBe]

It is nothing new that star wars is using 20th century items for props. Look at the weapons from original saga for example, which are weapons from ww2 with added some scopes

[@Mouse_Metal]

Is the metal detector supposed to be a metal detector or some futuristic device in-universe?

[@andrewbryan595]

Star Wars needs a multiverse… and their own tva so some of these shows and movies can be pruned from existence

[@Mouse_Metal]

It doesn´t require the worts of the worst pseudoexplanations (=multiverse) to decanonize this trash-tier antifanfic.

[@tehrulefoo]

It has one. It's called Legends.

[@ChrisMustard]

Oi hi, this is typical South Park when they said "and then this happened, and then this happened, and then this happened" soulless writing.

[@xelumbra]

They actually managed to make us sit through the mess that was episode 3 again… only somehow they made it worse….I can’t even… Somehow episode 3 returned.

[@danmosley4387]

No Disney 24-7.

[@thejessegrant]

Ahahaha

[@DorkySwimmer]

The Acolyte had an intriguing idea, but the execution was poor.

[@LordTyph]

it could have been godlike execution and it wouldn't have worked.

[@giga_chad9]

Nothing about these guys look like Jedi, the way they look, the way they act, just the way they are honestly. I just can’t see this characters as Jedi there’s just no way

[@jocky300]

Is that "I was going to let her go" line the worst acted thing in the history of acting? It's like singularity of utterly shitty acting.

[@rubenfilipe4417]

This show creativity and innovation is like my father: It ran away to buy the milk.

[@cowetascore8476]

This show would be rejected by the CW. That's how f***ing bad it is.

[@marcinf6324]

This scene is like waving a gun at the police, being shot and then deciding that you wanted to give up in the first place.

[@jihunshin4864]

So they weren't kidding when the witch said the same thing as Voldemort said.

[@hemaccabe4292]

I try not to be a cancel person, but considering the disgusting, horrific crimes of Ms Leslye Headland, it's hard to imagine watching anything she was a part of.

[@delta4135]

In the old game "Star Wars The Knights of the Old Republic 2: The Sith Lords", your master Kreia made a similar point about doing good can result in suffering of the one you helped. She did it when you first visited Nar Shada. Unlike the Acolyte, she made a great point. Game from 2004, 20 years ago. Guys we are evolving just backwards.

[@Houston123ABC]

Disney wants to hijack stories and apply IDEOLOGY -- and they expected, and were upset, that fans did not want to "learn" from their ideology.

[@Del-Canada]

I love how she has the exact same hairstyle she had as a kid.

[@Traffydrhart]

That is actually evil, they really have the gal to undermine the Jedi(good guys). This is just gonna confuse the hell out of kids. Just awful

[@alexalachan6952]

It’s sad we could’ve had a series be about the Sith that would’ve been way more interesting than this pile of garbage. So many Sith Lords they have in canon and in legends who could be brought forward but nope. This shows makes Palpatine “help me the Jedi are taking over “ more believable cause they are so bad in this show.

[@aegir5198]

At this point I'm surprised Disney haven't change the name from 'Star Wars' to 'Galactic Discord' or something politically acceptable..

[@lazywallstreetnews7234]

I don’t even watch Star Wats anymore, but it’s hilarious to see this company have a downfall that’s going to have to be studied by MBA students for decades to come

[@jscottupton]

Bob Iger LOOKS the part of a CEO for a large corporation. But when it comes to substance...he's a loser.

[@JediDanD]

Yeah, it’s sad that the one character we can empathize with is the Padawan. And it sucks that I can’t even root for him, because (me being Roman Catholic) I know how his story ends; he self deletes himself. Like not even sacrificing himself like John Krasinski did to save Millie Simmonds, Padawan selfishly offs himself for no reason. Edit: Or to use examples in the franchise; like Arvel Crynyd made the sacrifice in his A-Wing to bring down the Executor. Like Obi-Wan did to so Luke could escape.

[@GotaComent]

All i know is , i use to suffer from constipation, but ever since ive seen steinberg's face in "THE AZHOLE-ITE" INSTANT RELIEF 👌👌👌

[@jibrilamvs]

I love how Kennedy claimed the lightsaber fights in the final two episodes would rival Anakin vs Obi Wan. And all we get in this episode is around 48 seconds of lightsaber swinging where people don’t deflect or clash with their foe; instead they fall to the ground after tripping over nothing once they receive even the slightest lightsaber impact on their own weapon. Come on Disney. We all know you’re failing. Get rid of Kennedy already; she is not making Star Wars into anything the fans want it to be.

[@Noah-nl5ug]

And no one’s talking about the uncomfortable and cringey pop song at the end…

[@fruitghoul397]

the witch trying to manipulate torbin with his deepest, darkest desires was just…?!? Like, his deepest desire is to return to coruscant, for what reason? And she then casually mentions his parents were beggars. Would that not be a way better way to sow seeds of distrust amongst the jedi? To be ripped away from your family at a young age, leaving them behind in poverty while you arguably get a pretty good lifestyle increase? That sort of guilt is way more powerful than “WanTIng To Go BAcK tO CORUscAnT”

[@mrjohnk39]

Then: Every story needs villains and heroes. Now: Every story needs villains and victims.

[@DutchTheHooligan]

Me, about to watch [clicks skip recap] >>End credits roll

[@Zeromus5555]

I love how theyve been living on this planet with 2 months, basically camping, and all their clothes, hair, etc is perfectly clean.

[@PrideKat]

This episode made me more uncomfortable the more I think about it. Sol was so concerned about Osha's safety and her well-being just for the jedi lady and the jedi council to tell Sol to "leave her or it will cost more problem." Remember Osha and Mae are children at that time. So... what I'm getting from Disney telling me "if you see a child that might be in danger and you're concerned about their safety. Leave them in danger, and don't save them. Saving them will cause more harm."

[@nslater1388]

It was just one lightsaber stab. Those are historically very survivable.

[@mickeyd8768]

Especially if you're an Inquisitor being stabbed by Vader.

[@Chris.Apache]

As a kid I wanted to be a Jedi. As an adult I want to become the most powerful Sith, build a deathstar and...

[@sunhead-x]

What?? Rotten tomatoes hides the audience score?? What the actual f**k?!

[@Expialidocious46545]

I don’t understand. The witches threaten the Jedi, then leader witch turns into a scary smoke monster and is killed by a Jedi, then scary smoke monster leader witch says “I’m the victim! I was going to give you my daughter!” How does this make for good writing?

[@mrgor24]

Have you not noticed that recent Hollywood productions aim to flip the good/evil dynamic on its head and attempt to make you sympathize with the baddies. The dynamic at play is always "PoWeR"

[@carlosspicyweiner642]

I was going to let Osha join you... that is what she wanted. Maybe lead with that rather than turning into a dementor
