The Acolyte Review Hilariously AWFUL Star Wars - Season 1 Episode 1

Star Wars The Acolyte is Leslye Headlands Star Wars Series for Disney+. Since Disney bought Lucasfilm and made Star Wars for a new audience, it's gone down hill. While The Acolyte does look the part in some aspects, it's like looking through a modern filter. Everything is off, feels strange, and makes no sense. This is just the start so can The Acolyte improve with Amandla Stenberg? Is Star Wars The Acolyte worth watching?

Star Wars The Acolyte Review of Season 1 Episode 1, where I was promised the ultimate social commentary and instead ended up with a hilarious take bordering on parody. While watching it, I did keep checking the clock, but while watching a second time and recording I hate a great time. Admittedly, I spent more time taking the piss and talking about random side lines than the actual show, but a good time all the same 🤣The episode gets worse as it goes on with the first fight clearly having the most time spent on it. By the end the real life sets go out the window and we have transitions across various CGI volume sets. And none of this makes sense, even down to directly contradicting ourselves, sometimes in the next sentence! So if this is how the series starts, I'm looking forwards to the rest, especially episode 3 which I've heard totally ruins the force. Should be fun, alongside their attempt at moral philosophy discussions. But what did you think of what you saw? Let me know your thoughts down below and as always, thanks for watching :)

that is why in all of those modern movies when a character has a "Genius" plan. There actually is absolutely nothing genius and no planing about it, just writers forcing the plot so the "Genius" ends up with the upper hand. Not because it makes sense and makes you think "Damn i never saw that coming but it makes so much sense now!". Instead the first reaction most people usually have is "But how would he know this....or how could he have predicted this." Or just a confused "Really" because it only makes sense off screen.

[@catrie9965]

I'm a woman who grew up on the original trilogy. I've always loved Star Wars. However, I can't even sit through a review of the show, because I get second hand embarrassed for the franchise. It used to be so good and now it's shit. We've always had strong female representation in Star Wars. Leia, Padme, Ahsoka(cartoon), Hera(cartoon), etc. I don't want a female led show if the story is shit and the characters are one dimensional. I want a good story with fully rounded character development. I don't care if the lead is a male, female or Jabba the Hut. From all that I've seen and heard about this show, nothing is making me want to watch it. I was so disappointed in the last trilogy and all the current shows, as they may be set into the Star Wars universe, but they are, at best, Star Wars fan fiction brought to life. And, I'd say there's a ton of Star Wars fan fiction that is a LOT better than this crap.

So let me get this straight, in two previous Disney Star Wars shows we've had one character get stabbed once and another stabbed twice with a lightsaber and somehow survive. But three seconds into this show Trinity dies by a tiny blade? Make it make sense Disney.

[@4lackofbetter]

​@@skullgenerations4666 If it was I would have like a "You think a wound like this..." Followed by "It's poisoned." Or something to make sense of it. As I recall force healing is a thing and a Jedi master probably knows it.

[@charleslaine]

The blade contained a cluster of AI-powered, molecular-scale nano-tendrils that activate upon micro changes in air density combined with the negative G-forces induced by the impact of the blade onto its intended target. These nano-tendrils extend at near-light speed into the target and disperse into a pattern resembling a clustered spherical shell. These tendrils behave like tiny micro garotte wires- slicing, cutting, and dissecting everything it comes in contact with. This sudden dispersal of foreign material into Trinity's heart was utterly lethal, even though the tip of the blade barely pierced her outer layer of skin and breast tissue.

[@lenajohnson6179]

Two shit shows neutering lightsabers does not make a show advocating the deadliness of throwing knives bad. All that means is that two shows have neutered the lethality of lightsabers.

Batman isn't Lawful good. If we are talking D&D alignment here... Lawful good is the pinnacle of goodness; Clerics, Paladins, etc. "Pure good" doesn't exist and would just be "lawful good". Batman may be a vigilante, but he doesn't kill and usually (always?) hands the criminals over to the authorities. He's more of a neutral good. He does good, always, but not within the confines of the law (vigilantism is typically unlawful), but he delivers criminals to the authorities which is the good thing to do. Maybe a chaotic good. I also would not say he is mentally unhinged. Perhaps at one point, but if he is then aren't all super heroes? Bruce took his pain of loss and the hatred and molded it into a force of vengeance against the corruption in Gotham, but still tries to be good (not killing) and bring the criminals to justice.

This is a common thing in really bad writing, and I’m not defending it, but they did it to make the audience have sympathy for the evil twin because she doesn’t kill alien children, blurring the lines between good and evil (which is dumb). In order to show us the evil twin isn’t all that bad, that alien dad has to sit there like an idiot with his small alien child, in harms way, just so we can see the main character evil twin not kill them, which is supposed to make us the audience feel like “oh she’s not that bad.” This is a tactic used by bad writers, they lower ability/logic of other characters in order to prop up their weak main characters without having to actually think through how things would really go down if every character actually has a brain and critical thinking skills.

Logic failures in EP1. 1. Bad sister looks at Bar owner and back at Jedi. It is clear to everyone that the bad sister is going to attack the owner. Force push bad sister into wall preventing attack. Story over. Series ends. 2. Good sister spends the night on a ship in space and is accused of murdering a Jedi. Why didn't they check the ship logs confirming that another ship docked/left the ship good sister slept on? How can she be on a planet when the logs clearly prove that she was on the ship? Answer: Because doing so would invalidate the storyline. Proving bad writing. Bad logic. 3. Good sister crashes while strapped in a chair. Wakes up on floor. Seat Belts are clearly torn apart. Good Sister should have bruises, probably cracked/broken ribs. Yet no injuries are shown. Logic doesn't track!

[@MuljoStpho]

On point 2 I think they were trying to muddy the waters a bit with that line from a coworker asking why she stayed in instead of joining them on the overnight there and back again joyride to Nar Shaddaa that a bunch of the crew apparently went on. (Where was the ship though? Is it over Nar Shaddaa? They mentioned working for CorSec, didn't they? Corellia's security force? They shouldn't have been that close to Hutt Space, right?) There absolutely should be logs of some sort of all the comings and goings in and out of the ship, but in this show it feels like they only trust word of mouth and that they never refer to digital records? I mean, like with the cantina owner identifying "good sister" as the assassin... Perhaps a business owner's time would be better spent on giving the authorities copies of holotape surveillance of the incident so he can focus on documenting the damage for insurance (if that's a thing in Star Wars) and getting the repairs started? But no, apparently they had to drag him with them to approach the suspect. Shut down your business indefinitely, we're taking you with us on the manhunt.

I used to own the non-modernized VHS copies of episodes 4-6 while I was in the Marine Corps from 1992-1996 but they got sold or otherwise vanished over the years. Currently I do own the blue ray with episodes 1-6 plus many bonus features which I do still enjoy from time to time. I said all that basically to say that I have had no true enjoyment from the Star Wars movies since eps. 4-6 while I did get some enjoyment from eps. 1-3. With the exception of maybe season 1 of the Mandalorian I have had little interest in anything bearing the Star Wars name since 2005. I have to admit that I was a bit down on Lucas for not making any more Star Wars movies from 1983 until 1999 and was somewhat satisfied but mostly felt dejected by the prequels. I was excited to see Disney buy up Star Wars in 2012 thinking that maybe they would finally start making more Star Wars movies regularly but quickly found out that they would not be making anything quickly and the movies they did end up making were not really even Star Wars quality or even up to snuff with the 1990's or early 2000's Disney movies. It is a sad state for the franchise but at least I can watch my blue rays whenever I want and no matter how much they destroy cannon they can't take that from me.

Fun fact, bundling up a bunch of hair into many braids adds weight to them, and while flinging your head around quickly certainly wont hurt you, it can be exceedingly distracting. Having long hair in general isn't the best in a fight, but if you have superhuman senses the minor inconvenience from just loose hair in your face, really isn't that bad. I've had hair long enough to get in my face, and it's simple to ignore it when needed. A face full of braids is already considerably more distracting, but having REALLY long hair braided into dreadlocks? That's just moronic if you choose that hairstyle AND your chosen profession is assassin, BUT NOT THE STEALTHY KIND, the kind that walks up to a magic super soldier with a laser sword and demands she fight you with all her strength!!!! If you have long hair and you're going to be in combat, the best hair style, is just ONE braid, or perhaps a bun or something in that style. You know, something that keeps your hair from getting in the way.

I've worked with both children and farm animals absolutely someone in a fight would be a fool to leave their hair down. It would be almost like having another appendage to guard and be mindful of.
