The Acolyte Trailer Reaction with Fan Commentary

[@TAGATOR]

God I love you two, watching people who truly love Star Wars react makes the episodes even more fun. As for this show I am concerned it’s going the route of the sequels but I’m giving it a chance and looking forward to your reaction.

[@remoterebels2]

And we love you too!!!! What an amazing compliment, thank you so much. Our hearts are made of kyber!!! hahaha ... glad you are giving it a chance. I'm so excited to see the actor from squid games, he is so awesome.

[@distrBrutaka]

We are looking forward to the premiere! My dear ladies! 😘

[@remoterebels2]

Yes we are my friend!!! It's gonna be so fun

[@kelleycarr9065]

Just excited that I get to see you two more often now!!! Love the trailer!!!!!!

[@remoterebels2]

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww shucker doodles Kelley!

[@auntvesuvi3872]

I love both of y'all's Clone Force 99 tops!!! 🌑 Star Wars Holocron and Wookieepedia have told me we've seen 'Mae', 'Sol' (played by Lee Jung-jae, as Shanda noticed is from SQUID GAME), 'Qimir', 'Jecki Lon', 'Yord Fandar', 'Vernestra Rwoh', 'Mother Aniseya', the Wookiee 'Kelnacca' (portrayed by Joonas Suotamo) and 'Indara' (embodied by the lovely Carrie-Anne Moss who Edith has long loved) in this trailer. Looks great to me!!!

[@RemoteRebels]

Oh my goodness that's a lot to learn! Love that we have you looks like we're going to be so confused 😂 I have loved Carrie Ann since I saw the first Matrix in theater! And seen it probably a few hundred times not even exaggerating. Only the OG lol the other get confusing but I do love the dance scene in the 3rd one

@@RemoteRebels She's so gorgeous, seems really bright and such a great actor! I knew of her since she was in MODELS INC. (1994). I didn't watch it but one of my friends did, so he'd point her out to me in magazines, etc. I so love that she's in our beloved galaxy far, far away!!!

[@remoterebels2]

@@auntvesuvi3872 - Wow! So we have soooo much to learn for this new series. I think this series is going to be fantastic. You are going to have a blast on Wookiepedia! All of these actors look amazing, that guy from Squid games is a phenomenal actor. I'm so happy that they got him. Woohoo!!!

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww thank you!!!

[@adriankuban2904]

I can't wait, otherwise I don't know if I accidentally saw some character from the High Republic books.

[@remoterebels2]

Right? I can't wait either. I wasn't sure about this one but after that trailer I think we are all gonna really enjoy it.

[@adriankuban2904]

@@remoterebels2 It is happening 100 years before Episode 1 Phantom Menace so its possible we will see Hidden Siths like Darth Plagueis who was Palpatine master or someone before them. You know rule of two.

[@schlock159]

This looks really great guys. I actually have a theory about who the red lightsaber belongs to: There is an actor called Dean-Charles Chapman who played in Game Of Thrones. The name of his character is not revealed yet BUT if you look at him he looks very much like a young Ian McDiarmid ;).

[@remoterebels2]

WAIT!! My jaw just dropped... HE DOES!!! and what?? I thought the emperor wouldn't be alive yet, wait would he? am I doing Texas math again??? That would be frigggggggggggin crazy ... I'm so excited for this content

[@crandleberrysadie]

They had me at dark side 🤣 Thanks for another great reaction ladies 💖

[@remoterebels2]

Right??????? hahahahahaha ... it's gonna be so cool

[@zaandarbrow]

Just did my reaction! yo i bet the sith is palpatines master !

[@remoterebels2]

you did!! heck yeah... I'll check it out! Would Sheeeeeeeeeev be alive yet? Maybe Plaguis? no?

[@ronchess8813]

High Republic couple hundred years before Phantom Yoda rumored to be in this

[@remoterebels2]

Excellent!! It's going to be perfect then

[@Eva_H]

It’s set within the high Republic, see the comics and graphic novels if you want more details before the show actually starts, I actually wanna start reading the high Republic, graphic novels and comics. The Wookie Jedi was introduced in the high Republic, novels and comics.

[@remoterebels2]

Ohh so more than 100 years?? Please please read those so you can share with us. Edith won't read high public because she says there is too much to catch up on 😂. Wookie Jedi looks cool!! I am excited about this show. I think it will be a fun ride.

[@Eva_H]

@@remoterebels2 I’m going to read high republic first to get a feeling for that era. If I enjoy the books I’ll watch the acolyte if not, not. I will happily give cliff notes if I enjoy 🖤🙂

[@remoterebels2]

@@Eva_H - Sounds great!!

[@Eva_H]

@@remoterebels2 I also found out yesterday (Saturday), the acolyte is set in the last 100 years of the high Republic, so pretty much the tail end and going into the fall of the Jedi.

[@remoterebels2]

@@Eva_H excellent!! Thank you for letting me know. I think this will turn out to be more interesting than I expected.

[@BH0060]

I missed you guys, and I was just thinking about you just last week. 💜 And I tried to find info on the guy from Squid Game, the person before me came up with the answer, though. ☺

[@remoterebels2]

Heyyyyyyyyyyyyy you!!! Aw thanks! I'm so stoked they got the dude from Squid Games. What an incredible actor. I think this is going to be such a cool series.

[@vermontmike9800]

Let’s keep in mind that a red lightsaber doesn’t necessarily mean they’re Sith. It just means that someone is so filled with darkness and rage they can bleed the kyber crystal. I will keep an open mind about this show until I see major or destructive retconning.

[@remoterebels2]

Ohhhh right right! yep!! spot on my friend. Glad you are going to give it a chance. I guess for me it's like I see a bunch of light sabers and I look like Homer Simpson with a donut in front of him. hahahah

[@christopherhanton6611]

yes this going to be from the sith point of view also like how our mc looks a little bit like Darth revan . because he created the Sith assassins

[@remoterebels2]

Ohhhh bring on Darh Revan!! YES!!! Heck yes!! I'm so excited

[@kevingt7777]

I watched young jedi adventures lol for starwars content you can it takes place 200 years before phantom menace

[@RemoteRebels]

Wow yeah we've watched a few but yeah it was hard but did usually put a smile on my face I do realize the amount of buts however 😉 that's how I feel lol

[@kevingt7777]

@@RemoteRebels it definitely made me feel like a child 😄

[@remoterebels2]

Right on!!!

[@DaxXadify]

Acolyte is the apprentice of a Sith Lord. Sith Lords were once Acolytes. Had this show been about a Jedi Master, the show would have been called The Padawan.

[@swnerdlover2206]

This looks interesting 🤔

[@RemoteRebels]

Ikr! So excited!

[@remoterebels2]

Yeah I think this will be a good one

[@marleyofhouseharris8720]

Noone really knows whats going on with this show yet, other than its supposed to be a "perspective from the dark side", and its 100 years before the prequels. Palpatine hasnt been born yet, so if there is Sith in this series they will be Tenebrous and Plaguis

[@remoterebels2]

ohhhh gotcha. I think an intro to Plaguis would be super cool.

[@jackiec859]

YES!! It's 5/4/2024...have you seen the newest trailer? Waiting for your reactions!!!

[@Fvoarin]

Making this a main comemnt as well, just in case you don't see my reply to a reply, as I'm clearing up the "1000 year" thing that others have misinformed you on. It is not an alteration to lore Ki Adi Mundi mentions says "Impossible the sith have been extinct for a millenium", but the dude was a dolt who had no clue what he was talking about, and perfectly presonifies the arrogant ignorance to information that JEdi of that era suffered from It's always been established lore that the Sith rule of 2 has continued through Darth Sidious, and his master Darth Plagueis , and his master Darth Tenebrous, and their master an unnamed Twi'lek Sith Lord, and their master, and their maste etc. in an unbroken chain, all the way back to Darth Bane, the creator of the rule of 2. And, yes, this is all current canon, not just EU The Acolyte takes place when Darth Tenebrous (and maybe his master) are both alive and active. Darth Plagueis would've been around 14 at the time of this show Basically, canon says that the Sith have existed this whole time. The Jedi stating something, doesn't make it fact. In fact, it's heavily established lore that a Sith Temple exists, multiple levels down, directly below the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. And that the temple had been clouding the Jedi this entire time. So you should always take statements made by prequel movie Jedi, with a massive pinch of salt Also, as for their stupid addition on what Acolyte means??? They're a moron. Acolyte has been an established Dark Side role within both EU and Canon Satr Wars lore for an incredibly long time. It is a low rung position, essentially equivalant to a Padawan. They're esentially a student in the Sith ways. They technically didn't exist in the Rule of 2 as an actual rank. But it's generally used as a quick descriptor term for a secret role within the Rule of 2. In the rule of 2, they'll be the secret Apprentice to the Sith Apprentice of the Sith Master. Whereby, when it came time for the Sith Apprentice to kill their master, and take up the role of master, their Acolyte (their own secret apprentice) would aid them in the task By the time of the Galactic Empire, in canon, Sidious tried to do away with this, and make Vadar completely subserviant. Which was a massive afront to the rule of 2, and how it opperates. In the end, Vadar tries to have Luke take on the role of Acolyte, when he invites him to help defeat Sidious Don't just believe random stuff people tell you in comments, as they usually completely lack lore knowledge to back it up

[@jakecook2375]

Edith you're correct in Episode 1 we have not seen or heard about the Sith in a millennium, a 1,000 years. Lesley Headland is re-defining SW in her image not George's original SW. KK hired her for that very reason and KK has always had a different viewpoint about SW, "The Force is Female" and Lesley is the perfect person to destroy Lucas' SW. acolyte \AK-uh-lyte\ noun. 1 : one who assists a member of the clergy in a liturgical service by performing minor duties. 2 : one who attends or assists a leader : follower. Examples: The lawyer arrived with one of her acolytes, an eager young attorney who'd recently been hired by the firm.

[@jakecook2375]

That will not be the case Lesley and KK have plans for a season 2. They don't give a damn about what George has already done and Lesley has said that openly.@zanescalia

[@RemoteRebels]

I love being right!

[@remoterebels2]

I remember talking to you about this one Jake. I even said to Edith I wasn't sure if you would even watch this one. I hope you give it a chance as I enjoy your input and insight, always. I guess for me it goes back to all those years of being told that we would never get anymore Star Wars. So now, no matter what content they give us I wanna eat it up. Hope that makes sense.

[@jakecook2375]

It makes sense and I will watch it.@@remoterebels2

[@ericmatthews6735]

It’s a story in the area of the high republic 100 years before the Phantom Menace! It’s Between the last book of the trilogy of Darth Bane around 1000 years before the Phantom Menace and the book of Darth Plagueis 67 years before the Phantom Menace! They never seen a sith after the area of Darth Bane and they don’t know the existence of Darth Plagueis! No baby Yoda, no sith, just the dark side in the Acolyte! If we see Darth Tenebrous, the master of Darth Plagueis well every jedi in the Acolyte need to die cause no Sith have been seen for 1000 years!

[@kaleemdin7963]
