Like this couldn't have been set a 1000years before the prequels or something like everything is got to tie into some other project

[@xuxon24]

This is exactly my issue with the people that say that this show was unique and separated from the Skywalker saga. It wasn't they tried to work a way to be a connected to the prequels and the Skywalker saga. I remember when I heard that they were doing a show about the high republic I immediately thought of Knights of the Old republic that's how you make something new and unique specially when KOTOR is set almost like 4 thousand years before new hope, that's what I expected not 100.

Disney SW is the epitome of so much potential SQUANDERED. We need more Andor. It's the only thing they are not setting on fire... so far.

[@jimmymcgoochie5363]

My biggest issue with the Acolyte is that it spent the first half introducing all these characters and then just deleted most of them half way through in a total bloodbath with almost no preamble and to no real purpose. A close second is that the twist villain wasn’t much of a twist, though by that point adding yet another new person into the mix could have created more problems than it solved. It seemed like a lot of good ideas duct-taped together into something less than the sun of its parts.

[@darmal8770]

yeah...that's how you can tell that Disney corp became involved, destroying the original plot of the series to appease the Reddit-boys. It's no surprise when Hedgland announced that Qimir wasn't even supposed to appear until season 2. But Disney pushed it through so they could drop in Plagueis, who was never part of the plot. But white incels will not clamor for a "Snyder cut" of a non-white series.

[@crediblehulkstone9126]

Thank you! None of the smart fans are denying that some things in The Acolyte were less than good, with one thing in particular, being bad, but you just brilliantly explained why it is a shame to not get a second season. So many storylines that are actually very good, they just need to be told better, in episodes that are longer than 25 minutes.

[@tpeters85]

The real shame is that they screwed up the first season so badly that it didn’t get renewed for a second season. Just because they had interesting plot threads to pick up in season 2 doesn’t mean the execution would’ve been any better than the first season.

Crazy theory: plaguis and qimir are also a force diad and they're very old, but they've gained the ability to siphon youth from one to the other and currently qimir holds the most youth making his counterpart appear as an ancient ghoul.

[@IMRJT3]

Discarding the trashy rage-baiting, toxic corner of the Star Wars universe, there is a way for REAL fans who liked OR disliked The Acolyte to have their proverbial cake and eat it, too. A second season of the series is not necessary to continue the story and resolve the cliffhanger/conflicts we were left with. A DARTH PLAGUEIS SERIES (*or movie) can shift the focus to him, while including relevant Acolyte characters. Leslye Headland and her team have already done the heavy-lifting in terms of backstory. A Plagueis series has the potential to 1) fulfill his story arc in live action, leading into the events of Ep1, just as Rogue One leads into Ep4, and Andor into Rogue One; 2) build upon the aspects of The Acolyte we enjoyed (i.e., choreography, lore, guest appearances, etc.), while 3) addressing shortcomings - Real or perceived - in The Acolyte's storytelling with new writers and a new showrunner/director. This isn't about me, or you, toxic fans, KZbinrs, Disney, KK, etc.. The focus, as it ALWAYS should be, is the story. OSHA/MAE, THE STRANGER, VENESTRA, DARTH PLAGUEIS, TENEBROUS, YOUNG PALPATINE, and any adjacent/affiliate characters deserve to have their stories added to the almost 50yr old tapestry of live action Star Wars... I support any honest efforts in making that a reality.

Question I never see asked is how did Yoda know about the rule of 2? According to Qi Adi Mundi they've been gone 1000 years, he's still in the dark so that tracks. But in TPM Yoda says the whole "always 2 there are" line. We know now that he may have gotten knowledge from Vernestra of the Sith's return, but before that how would he have known of the rule of 2? That didn't exist before they were supposedly wiped out. Darth Bane did that at the end to ensure the survival of the Sith.

[@ericsakamoto5657]

I really loved the series, sad to see it be cancelled. So much hater sheep

[@Dan55888]

Not all haters of the show are racists and sexists. Some of the show was just bad. "The power of MAAAAAAANNNNYYYY" A rock facility burning down because of a a burning diary... The flip flopping of both Osha and Mae. Osha pulling out suddenly force strong enough to kill her former master and friend when she could barely do the force earlier... Qimir was obviously the sith that was first training Mae, it wasnt even kinda a mystery. The dialogue in general was just forced. And none of those valid complaints are about race, sex or "wokeness" it was all just bad stuff

[@blairhoughton7918]

The power of many was going to show up in the second season as Mae and Osha were bound to meet again. The rocks were covered in wood and other organic material and laced with gas pipes. I didn't see Osha or Mae make an unreasoned change in direction, but I can see how people with little life experience or a lack of empathy could believe they did. Osha was filled with Dark Force power because of anger over the things she'd just learned to turn her against her friend. Qimir's identity is obvious only in hindsight; the master could have been several others. These complaints don't hold up, but they're a lot like what the trolls want people to think.

[@steveno7058]

the Hero we need. I'm relieved Acolyte got cancelled, but I do really hope a new show or movie is made about Plagueis where everyone from Acolyte are side characters. After you mentioned the idea that it could be yoda hunting down Plagueis, I pictured a scene where P;lagueis and a young Palpatine or, I suppose, Quimur are arguing about why they obviously can't kill Yoda. It would be cool to see Yoda finding clues but eventually giving up, (maybe do to political reasons, like everyone questioning why he's been gone for so long) showing another failure of his as Grand Master. The lightsaber fights could be the Acolyte sisters attacking and escaping Yoda, who only fights defensively and tries to get information from them, a few times leading up to them attacking and being absolutely destroyed in a visually spectacular way. Definitely still needs an actual arc, but that would be cool as hell to see.

Every hobby/industry has toxic fans. Only the ones that produce poor content will complain about them though. The rest just get on with producing the best content they can. Disney is THE MOST POWERFUL entertainment giant in the history of the modern world. With that in mind, it is the HEIGHT of embarrassment that this mega-corp is having a cry online about toxicity. Its WILD!!!!!! This is the same corporation that screws people over wrongful death cases based on a god damned streaming service subscription. They must be SO RELIEVED that they have brave wittle boys like you to defend them and their horrible practices. Good job!

so bummed, this show had so much potential

[@erickc.6586]

Imo the acolyte was hinting that osha & kymir might be the parents of palpatine? If this takes place about 100yrs before the phantom menace I thought that could be a long enough timeline for palpatine to be born, taken under plaguis tutelage (kinda how like the Jedi prefer the youngest of younglings) that would explain his origin and how he was under the spell of the dark side pretty much from birth. It would explain how he so easily he infiltrated the senate all while hiding his power. Because he’s been a sith from birth, guided by plaguis’ hand from conception. Is that a possibility? 🧐🤔

[@erickc.6586]

It might also explain why the force diad of Rey and Kylo was so important to him, because his mother was also a force diad therefore he was a product of it. 🧐🤔🤔🤔

Brilliant video. Excellent job!

[@sandykemp7562]

I think Qimir may not be a Sith. He says to the Jedi I am what YOU would call a Sith. I think he may just be a darkside user and that Plagueis may have been drawn to his world by Qimir’s strength with the darkside. Plagueis may have been sneaking around to find out who was here and what they were doing. We possibly could have seen Plagueis and a young Palpatine going after Qimir and Osha as rivals. Who knows!?

I really enjoyed this show and I've been super bummed out since I heard about no season 2. And "Twin Flame" is staying in my Spotify playlist. Boo Disney. Boo. You have the money to make this show in your couch cushions.

[@steveno7058]

Delusional. Disney isn’t going to waste another $200 million for a show that nobody watched

[@ccam7802]

they made a play to expand on some major star wars lore involving the sith but then abandoned it and seemingly intent on pretending it never happened. hate that, either wrap it up in one season or commit to the full story

[@vvglxy]

i want a SECOND SEASON

[@YoungBreezzy66]

Your ideas are too good. She never would have thought all that

[@soggywilson]

but what if we just kind of forget about all of this?

[@Skz1er]

tales of the old republic would be fire 🔥🔥

[@wadewilson524]

I thought we agreed to forget all about the Acolyte and never speak of it again….

[@ellenclifford]

I loved this show, I’m so sad we won’t get a season two but would love if some of the storylines weee picked up in another one.

[@maiaspen307]

Oh, I would love to know what happened to Yord’s Padawan.

[@RyanHaney55]

This video makes me even more sad we won't get a season 2.

[@mrsealmayr]

I want to see the show you're talking about, these characters are worth it!

[@atillioso]

It's not one of the strongest dark side users ever encountered, you literally have darth vader, dooku and palpatine above.
