@@savans4734 I think well you can see some genius in BOBF, I had no problem with Fett bonding with the Tusken Clan, all of that was clearly inspired by 2 classic Western movies - "A Man Called Horse" and "Dances With Wolves". It showed Boba Fett finding his *Humanity*. He went from being a cold, killer who will kill anyone for the right price, to becoming something more than that. Where the show screwed up was the Disney bosses demanding it have a more lighter tone, the inclusion of those ridiculous power ranger biker group, who have colorful speeder bikes, that always look shiny, pristine clean, yet they say they don't have any work and are struggling, and living in the city of Mos Espa a sandy, dusty place, just doesn't make sense at all. And things like having Boba Fett chasing a little droid around a kitchen, stuff like that was soo not needed and was clearly forced in their by higher ups; this is why Jon Favreau got so frustrated and actually walked away from the show for a time; then he came back because he was under contract. But it was all the stupid, silly light stuff that was forced upon him, because the stupid Execs thought that could make the popular Fett character appeal to kids to sell toys. ALWAYS thinking of $$$$$ They saw Boba Fett's badassery in that episode of S2 Mandalorian and thought they could use his own spin-off show to sell toys. When they actually missed the whole point of who and what Boba Fett is, he is ruthless and his own story should absolutely be Gritty and Violent. He appealed to kids back in the 70s/80s because he looks so cool and has that whole armanment. But those kids who grew up with him are all now adults like in their 40s/50s. the kids of today don't know who "Boba Fett" is really, especially the ones who have grown up with the sequels; which was why it was dumb trying to kiddyfy Boba Fett. His story absolutely should have been like the Godfather, where he ruthlessly takes out some of the other "Families" of mos espa, exerting his dominance and power as the new "Daimyo". He's like Vitto Corleone in a sense, he's tough and a badass and powerful, but he has benevolence and is fair to the people of Mos Espa and truly wants to help the good people of the city. You can see glimpses of this in the show, in small little parts, like the scenes where they capture the Pikes train, and Boba is sitting on that crate like a boss, giving order and laying out terms to the Pikes gang; he's helping the Tusken Clan, who took him in. You can see where Favreau was originally looking to take the show, but then Kennedy came in, influencing the clueless Disney bosses, to force Favreau to make sure Din & Grogu are reuinited in his BOBF, ready for Season 3 Mando. This took away TWO crucial Episodes of Boba's book, that was needed to help flesh out his story and character arc. Just stupid interference from higher ups, everytime.

We were just being honest, like many fans have been right now over the Acolyte. Deep down this is all about a "hivemind" where EVERYONE has to all "think" the same, there is no room for *Individual Thought* you have to think the same as the woke demographic. This is what they're all about, you're either with them and for their woke ideology, but if you so much as disagree, even in the slightest, little way, you're immediately their Enemy.

This was a concept that COULD have worked but failed miserably. All they had to do was put story first, likable characters second, and likable actors third. The Acolyte failed on all three aspects of that formula. Replace Osha, Mae, and Darth Gimpy Zippermask with a GOOD story about Tenebrous recruiting Plaguis. Use Jedis Trinity, Kelenneca and Dafne Keen properly, and not humiliate Jedi Sol. Disney and Marvel have always been able to work in messaging and inclusion as long as it is carried by a GOOD story, likable actors, and likable characters. Again, Kathleen Kennedy, Pablo Hidalgo and Leslye Headlund failed a can’t miss formula. How Kennedy and Pablo Hidalgo get to keep their jobs is beyond me. Especially after the hotel disaster.

@spencerhowardjr.578121 күн бұрын
Dear Star Wars Meg, This Acolyte series was different and yet had good potential! It is the decisive man-babies that do not allow anything even close to having any character especially females in particular; to have any solid chance of telling their story with some kind of backlash and hate. Your reviews on the series and episodes were in fact truthful and inspiring. True Star Wars fans know that different stories have to be told to increase the lore and show many aspects of the universe without having the same old stories told. This series needed to be more longer than eight episodes espiecially dealing with the Sith doctrine and it's counterparts. The actors all did a fine job! We the audience needed more backstory on the witches and their practices as well as why they settled on Brendock. The inter-connection between them and the Sith was never mentioned; as well as how the witches were able to create life while dealing with the dark side of the force. This story needed more narration as to why the Jedi were searching on Brendock other than them detecting a virginance in the force. The director had the chance of showing the jedi as a symbol of everything good; and how they dominated this era with their policies and how they were slowly; losing their grip of reality through constant dogma which was quietly being broken down into less than accurate teachings. The prequels do an excellent job of showing the tragedy of Anakin Skywalker. We the audience were first introduced to the microbes of midi-chlorians and their symbiotic relationship in seeing how attuned an individual is with the force by having them living inside a body. Anakin in his younger years was brillant, intelligent and self-giving when encountering people from other worlds. His folly in later years was his arrogance because of his powers and effeciency in mastering them. His loyalty to his friends was undeniable and his attachment issues slowly caused him down the dark path until it consumed him into Darth Vader. His treatment from the Jedi Council also did'nt help either when they should have given him some leeway on his relationships with other people. This buildup of hypocrisy only created mistrust on both sides with Palpatine turning the screws in ,the middle. Sith Masters must start from somewhere and show how they trained in order to be so powerful; and worthy of taking on an acolyte. Disney continues to push aside common threads like this to show full-fledged characters whom which the audience cannot identify with because of their limited no information on their backstory. Showing Darth Plagius near the end is eye candy but makes the audience only more hungry for information and wondering did he train Quimir; or is he there to enforce the rule of two? I know this is supposed to be a mystery thriller but Disney keeps putting the cart before the horse and expects the audience to trust them. It's 2024 and yet we the audience still need to able to connect the dots so we can get behind the hero or antoganist and believe that they made the right choice on how they decided to take a particular path that in the end will lead them to redemption. It's like when you have a boss and they expect you to respect them simply because they outrank you; yet they have no experience in solving any problems or can do the work you do even better than you do it. True respect is always earned; not given because of a title. Star Wars Meg, forget the haters and continue to do the excellent job that you always do! This younger generation are always in their feelings and try to shift blame on everyone else instead of taking responsibility for their actions. KK was stealing money from other show's budgets and allocating it to the Acolyte. That's the real reason why Disney is canceling it. Too expensive, bad viewership feedback, and limited character development.

Well here's the thing Starwars Meg is but ONE out of a few they are blaming, if you really look at the overall climate right now they're heavily going after Critical Drinker and Nerdrotic also. Meg is just falling into it, because those wokesters their whole attitude is - "you're either with us, or you're our enemy". There's simply not middle-ground with them, you can't debate, you can't reason with those people at all. And because Meg was just fair and HONEST they're attacking her. The woke people are looney, EVERYTHING has to be their way, or they blow a hissy fit. This is why Disney themselves are going to learn the hard way, they truly are. Because bts for a few years now they've been pandering to the woke side, but the numbers prove good and well that they only account for a very small number of them. If they were big in percentage the Acolyte simply would'nt have such low viewing figures, it ranked as the lowest audience rating out of all the D+ shows. Disney clearly saw this when they got their bar charts and graphs out, they realized this Fact and thats why they were not confident to greenlight a 2nd season. Also this is another notch on KK's FAILURE Resume, so it's really not looking good for her either right now and her contract is coming up to it's end date too now.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with you liking it people aren’t always going to agree and some people hold this franchise dear to them so it is personal which led to the loyalty to this brand in the first place but that will build hate and resentment which I think can be a valid reaction to art it’s doesn’t have to be a perfect constrained emotional response. The same way people will like up in droves days before the movie release on a IP there was also room for much hate.

I was looking for a moderate and fair opinion that balanced out all the hateful comments out there, not because I enjoyed The Acolyte (which I didn’t), but because I wanted to get a more leveled opinion. I found this in your channel, where you strive to find the positive without shilling, and I commend you for it. Keep doing the good work!

It was wierd watching a show when they literally killed the entire cast in one season, and the director had no regard for lore or what should be expected of her as a director of a star wars series. It's was heart wrenching bad

These responses do shine a light on one important detail: that of WHICH Star Wars "fans" are the toxic ones. Disney is quick to label those who don't like their products as "toxic" rather than taking responsibility for what they release, but whose minions are really doing the bullying. Not surprising. If the show was so great, ALL those fans ought to have watched it more times and bought more merch, shouldn't they. So, really it's THEIR fault, isn't it.

As an aspiring writer I feel pretty confident in saying that most people on Twitter/X do not possess basic media literacy skills, hence the conflation of constructive criticism with hate. Now there's a whole other side discussion to be had on whether that's more of a personal failing or more the failure of some education systems (usually in the U.S.) to properly promote literacy and arts education in schools, but I've seen enough baffling and frustrating takes from that site, Tumblr, and TikTok to know that the decline in media lit is becoming a massive widespread problem. It's making it harder for content creators like you and writers/artists like myself to put our work into the world and receive a fair response. I sorely wish more people were aware of how damaging this trend is to a certain subset of the population and actually put the effort in to become more media literate if only for the sake of supporting artists and creators who are just trying to do their best and receive fair and balanced feedback. If school failed you in that area, then PLEASE become your own teacher. The creatives of this world are begging for you to give us that courtesy

I love Star Wars. Sometimes the "Wars" part of Fandom pisses me off. I too remember all the criticisms of the prequel movies and basically anything new in the Star Wars universe. This toxic side of fans is a real downside. You can "not like" something without being a toxic idiot about it. The Alcolyte like so many things had potential to grow and get better. Now it won't. The biggest problem ( for Disney) is a lack of vision and the lack of tamarity to stick with it. Profit as a driving force to make something will never replace a vision and love of the art.

I watch and subscribed to your channel because I thoroughly enjoy your focus on Star Wars news and your overall enthusiasm for the universe. You always report on what is going on, and if there’s a lot of criticism of shows like the Acolyte, you report on it. I personally really enjoyed the Acolyte, but i respected your criticisms because they were respectful. There was a lot of vitriol and polemics surrounding this show, but i don’t think you were contributing to that-you were just reporting community news and giving your honest reaction. I thought your criticisms were sincere, and they didn’t try to bring the community into the current culture wars like other channels were doing. I stopped watching other channels, but I’m still with you because i love you and think you’re wonderful. Keep up the great work!

It's viewership that dictates a show's continuity. Disney is a business that needs to make money. The Acolyte wasn't living up to Disney's desires.

Oh, my Force!!! I loved the Acolyte, but, to be honest, while following the switch it would be cool to watch Mae and Osha grow in their Force abilities, it didn't need a live-action second season. Let's have the story continue in a Tales of the* season or their own comics. Be that what it may, properties on streaming CANNOT be reviewed as if it's still the 20th century.

You gave fair and compassionate reviews! Love your content! It is wise to learn from the mistakes of others. A valuable business lesson we can all learn from The Acolyte Is producing a product that satisfies your audience. Leslie produced a product that was a set up for the next season and makes us feel like we won’t be satisfied for the story. Compared to Andor which satisfied fans and the desire to be satisfied again. It’s like going to a high end restaurant paying full price but only getting appetizers and saying you need another purchase for the rest of the dinner.

You always gave very balanced reviews of "The Acolyte," Meg. I adored "The Acolyte" and am disappointed that we aren't getting a second season, but I always enjoyed your comments. I do hope that the unresolved mysteries of the story will be answered somewhere - in book or comic form perhaps - but the cancellation of the show was hardly your fault! I think any show takes a risk if it doesn't resolve its principal mysteries by the end of the first season.

You covered this fairly and honestly and rather gently considering the production values of this series felt more like Star Trek TOS sets than modern Star Wars.

hello, I am a French fan and I have now subscribed to your page since June, I personally find that you do an excellent job, thanks to your work I have access to all the necessary information on Star Wars in advance and I find this very pleasant. I don't understand why we are attacking you in relation to the acolyte, I personally liked the series and I found the analysis of the episodes that you offered us very professional, analyzes and well argued that it either on the positive and negative points that you found there. In the end, you were honest while remaining professional, a quality that is not found in all KZbin critics, whether in my country in France or in other countries. I thank you for your work and I continue to follow your next videos with great interest. For the fans who criticize you unfairly, they don't understand that Disney is a company and to remain polite they don't care about positive or negative opinions Linked to their projects. The Disney film industry works in a very simple way: - a profitable project continues. - an unprofitable project is stopped. it’s an industry only profitability counts in their eyes. so dear friends of the fanbase, do not attack this KZbin channel because it had no impact on Disney's decision. PS: I'm sorry for my English, I have an average level and I don't speak it fluently.
