The Acolyte REACTION - ...what just happened (E5)

Cortosis armor and weapons disabling lightsabers has been canon since the 90's. Cad Bane uses Cortosis slugs to disable lightsabers in Clone Wars. (edit because I committed the sin of not checking wookieepedia first)

[@ReeseRizzerspoon]

Nothing has been canon since the 80's besides the OT. Any and ALL material that isn't OT or PT or their novelizations is Legends. Cortosis' first CANON appearance since the Disney takeover was in 2014.

[@maverickproductions3818]

As a die hard Star wars fan, I actually think the fights in this show have been more weighted and realistic than most of the prequel fights. Let’s put our nostalgic biases aside…the prequel duels are visually amazing, but they look so much like choreographed dances. I mean countless times in the fights people are not aiming to kill each other, it’s like they’re just doing flashy moves for the sake of being flashy. I think the duels here have been so much more weighted than the prequels, which are very twirly and flippy for the sake of being flashy. Still great fights, but even in the best fights like Anakin and Obi Wan, there’s moves that are absolutely ridiculously unrealistic. In this episode of the Acolyte, there was an intensity that it was constantly life or death and the moves were very well choreographed while keeping it grounded.

[@Mr.Yoda66]

I'm happy you enjoyed it. I felt nothing in this episode but apathy. This show is the nail in the coffin for Disney SW for me. I unsubscribed from D+.

[@oXRaptorzXo]

I’ve noticed that to. People praise duel of the fates like a masterwork of choreography, but there are so many instances of stuff that makes zero sense. It’s still a great fight tho.

[@On_Brannd]

Absolutely 100%! In the OT, Luke x Vader (both duels) were more about the internalization of the characters. It wasn't meant to be flashy and shit. In the prequels, the story was subbed to have better choreographed duels. Obi Wan x Qui Gon vs Maul...there's no emotion there. 0 words are said the whole fight. Compare that to Vader baiting Luke in ROTJ. "Twin sista! And forcing him to snap. That's what it's about. I think Acolyte did a great job combining both elements of story telling while having an entertaining duel.

[@seeloffdoee]

people who say this guy cant be sith must not know Star Wars or sith lore very well. the sith have been in hiding for a thousand years, not extinct, which was made explicitly clear in the phantom menace. and then qimir even says that now that hes been exposed, everyone whos seen him has to die. this makes complete sense.

[@Keitek]

I agree. Qimir did a pretty good job killing off all the key witnesses. Now Sol is going to go back to the Jedi with a disguised Mae who will probably cause more problems for Sol and he and/or Mae will get blamed for what happened because he left the planet without recovering the bodies of the other Jedi. The council will probably ask why he left the planet in a hurry if the Sith was defeated or why he abandoned the planet to the Sith threat. Then they'll accuse him of killing the other Jedi because they only started dying when he brought Osha along with him. Then Mae disguised as Osha does something stupid and proves the council's point.

[@jq8913]

Yea I really have no issues with there being a Sith because they're hiding and also the show isn't over. If he kills everyone like he said he will then the problem is solved lol. I do wish they made the show around Sol learning about Qimir and hunting him down without OSHA and Mae being the leads. I just feel like their story is boring but Everytime I see Sol I want more.

[@BamaHoopsBoi]

I get the feeling that Qimir isn't actually Sith. He doesn't seem to have the power or knowledge of the force to come close to being actual Sith. Now that's from the very little we know about him so.. I'd argue he's an "acolyte" to a larger and better known Sith of the time, Plagueis. I just don't think that Qimir is the real big bad here pulling all the strings. This is all just a plot to confuse the Jedi about the real Sith return coming. The Jedi will just cover this situation up to save face in the galaxy and inch closer to their demise. Just my opinion.

[@seeloffdoee]

@@BamaHoopsBoi I think he’s Sith, but simply the Sith apprentice. I think there’s a Sith master (possibly tenebrous) that we haven’t seen yet

People are hating on Lucasfilm under Disney but they are still Lucasfilm, the same entity which operated under George Lucas with literally the same employees, most of which stayed on after the Disney acquisition. Almost all creative decisions are made internally with only financials and other standard operating stuff really reported onto Disney via annual reports etc. And despite what some may try to convince you, they have given us some gems in the post George era - Rogue One, Mandalorian, Clone Wars S7 and many would include Andor. And just like Lucasfilm under GL gave us some all time duds in TPM & AOTC, they have given us some under Disney as well. Fans, well mainly those who grew up in the prequel era, like to act like the entire George Lucas era of Star Wars was filled with masterpiece after masterpiece, that he didn't put a foot wrong, they've literally tried to rewrite history because they likely were not even born to witness the enormous backlash he got after the first two prequels as well as the special edition changes he made to the OT. That was at least on a par with the backlash some of the current era movies/series are getting. It's just the nature of the business. Not a single long running franchise in movie/TV history has given us nothing but great products. NOT A SINGLE ONE. Look at franchises like the Terminator where the first two were great and all the rest have been poorly received, the Alien franchise is exactly the same, first two great, everything else rubbish, same with Predator. Hell, even the Godfather trilogy ended with a dud after the first two movies were two of the greatest ever made in the history of cinema. Literally no franchise is immune because it's SO DAMN HARD to keep that level of quality and to keep fans happy. In fact, it's impossible. But that is more of a reflection of people in general, we expect too much, we nitpick every little thing, we're hypercritical. It's so much better to go into a movie/series and try your best to find _good things_ to say about it rather than to try your hardest to find bad things to say, which people like Skyman, Star Wars Theory etc do. They just nitpick everything, even if what they are saying could easily be applied to the prequels. They are not only haters but hypocrites too.

Yup. Prequel fights are the opposite of this, all emotion and very basic choreo, whereas this choreo is much better, but nowhere near the emotion because there's not been the time spent to feel for characters.

I don’t get how you can blame him for disliking the episode and his takes on the show.

It’s obvious the show runners don’t know Star Wars or care about it and are purposely throwing the fans under the bus. So why should he defend it? It’s an objectively bad series which fails at every part of creating a compelling story and Is filled with lore breaking parts. If anything he’s going easy on it with criticism.

The overemphasis on this whole Qimir "twist" is a bit tiresome. What if the creators never intended Qimir's identity to be a mystery at all? What if it was supposed to be obvious to the audience from the start? It was clear to us (the viewers), but not to Mae, as Qimir even questions her about why she didn’t figure it out the whole time, not even sensing it? I don't really understand you or many others either; how can you sit down to watch something with the mindset that it’s going to be terrible and tear it apart completely? I'm writing this while not denying that the series has its flaws, and quite a few of them, but this attitude... we need constructiveness, and this is anything but that.

Its your personal feeling and it does not affect choreo and fight composition itself 2) New show, new development.. If they spend more time to develop characters ppl will cry where is combat.

Smilo here disseparing is shit, but Vader in EP5 againts Luke when he Dissapeared thats ok. 4)I do Love prequels but Phantom Menace Fight if you are objective had so many opening and empty spots aswell, so why you hate it here? 5) He said " People like you might call me Sith" He didnt say He is Sith.. He said that any other force user but a Jedi is a Sith to them. So whats your problem. 6) Mae killed Indara cos of trickery, she didnt beat her in fight.

Plus He just lost all of his companions, ruthlessly killed. He almost felt to Dark side, he is out of Balance and you say - saying " he is a Jedi" he should know. 8) Yes, Kylo Ren theme... so maybe he will be just knight of Ren? 9)They said from what movies they took inspiration for t his episode. It was also horror movie. have no problem with it. 10) Saying its just swinging - Dude I respect Nick Gallard, but these guys who did this Fight know whet they are doing also.
