The Critical Drinker: The Acolyte Episode 1 - A Stunning And Brave Disaster - Reaction!

[@retropyro]

The prequels had some problems. The Disney films/projects ARE a problem.

[@voidknight2288]

lets not forget. in the video with George and Kathleen Kennedy, she lies directly to his face. saying she was going to take care of star wars and continue his vision.

[@Ant1992_]

Every time she said “attack me with all your strength” i immediately think of the SpongeBob meme 😂

I loved the prequels as a kid I didn't know people didn't like them until years after Episode 3

[@hardywatkins7737]

I'm fine with the prequels ... i think alot of people are.

[@MegaroadProducciones]

"The acolyte actor Charlie Barnett says he feels bad that Anakin Skywalker, by destroying the death star, possibly killed millions of people, and that he is terrified to play a Jedi at a time when there have NOT been many Jedi on screen." Yeap... that is the guy...

[@zackbleecker7630]

Loved how he keeps looking over at his peers as he is saying it like "back me up y'all, that's how it went down isn't?" smh so sad.

[@blutomindpretzel1735]

the High Republic is an era made up by Disney. Instead of doing something with KOTOR they went this route and continue to Retcon the lore. Destined to fail from the start. the "books" have no appeal at all.

[@ABCDyeahyeahyeah]

No thank God they left KOTOR alone. I don’t want them to ruin it

[@Vandicoup]

It's really just "The Old Republic" era in general. KOTOR was simply a segment of that greater, larger era all of us loyal, longtime, ardent fans know and love.

[@bigstick6332]

Considering Lucas just backed Iger in the proxy fight, I have little sympathy for him.

You can blame fans to an extent with George selling. But dont forget the figure always in the background who thought they could do it better, watching, waiting...holding coffee.

When he says "I had a point to this hold on I gotta go back"... then immediately on my screen an ad starts. LMAO damn y'all he really needed a minute to think about that one

[@tristanburgos1]

The blueprint was laid out for Disney with all the “Legends” lore out there when they bought Star Wars, yet they chose to try to be special and do their own thing, and now we are just left with a collection of shows and movies that can barely ever reach above average in quality. It’s pretty sad tbh

[@Maykholiv]

I agree with Tyrone if I were Lucas I would be punching the walls too especially after Kathleen Kennedy sat right there and lied to my face "I will take care of your character's George" or whatever she said yeah right 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@sNNNNNable]

The crowd at my theater could not stop hysterically laughing when yoda fought in ep2. In a good way tho

2:39 Lucas is going full Sayan on his house, for real.

[@aaronbarlow4376]

A pod ejecting would have zeo effect on the ship if it's launching with it's own thrusters. It would only affect the ship if the ship somehow propelled the pod out with some sort of pressure mechanism. It makes more sense that the pod left under it's own power. It's like rocket launchers have no recoil because the rocket is exiting under it's own power.

[@europa9879]

5:50 It was bad. The hate lucas got was really bad. There was the documentary people vs george lucas, fans singing songs like 'George Lucas Raped My Childhood.' Fans were screaming for someone else for someone else to take control of star wars away from lucas for years. Remember, originally people were celebrating when lucas sold to Disney originally.

[@goonagun]

[@cyrcee77]

U can't blame the fans for this, there is an agenda that not only Hollywood but government and other corporations are pushing regardless of the costs, they know they are losing money, they don't care, they want to destroy all masculine role models, icons especially

yer not wrong.

[@Blacknight6577]

12:41 that’s true. That’s how it was back in the 00s too when I got my ear pierced and my parents told me that too. So I got my left one pierced indicating I’m straight to everyone who saw it

100% true what you said about the audience and the Yoda fight. My theater went nuts.

[@thebrewingsailor9172]

The High Republic features a character, Geode, that is a sentient rock. Not The Rock. Not a rock person like Korg from Thror: Ragnarok or Ben Grimm from Fantastic Four, or an Earth Elemental from Dungeons and Dragons, it's just a fugging rock. So, no. The High Republic is not good.

[@ValentineToybox]

The High Republic has a Force Sensitivite Rock, GEODE

[@transonicgnat5872]

You realize pretty much every disney tv show or movie with star wars has one a strong female character. That female character is always very intelligent and they show this by them being some technical genius that can engineer anything in a blink of an eye. They have this in Ashoka, Sabine, Hera, Bix from Andor, Leia from obiwan and etc. All of which has the same exact basic story and apparently the same skill that they can easily do tech. This is why the show is always shit because they can't make another female that isn't strong and intelligent. They all got to be very strong and intelligent.

[@skywalkersbo]

RIP Star Wars... good thing we have lots of Legends material to read (for me those are still the only real and true canon). Tyrone, you have such a good energy! I love your videos! Cheers from Brazil!🍻

[@Seriona1]

Between KOTOR and Episode 1, you have about 4000 years of "untouched" lore that no one wants to deal with because Lucas allowed some work but it's uncharted thus everyone was afraid to go in that timeline. But it was the usual Sith try to rise and the Republic does fuck all, Sith win but tear themselves apart and repeat. Howver, Lucas once mentioned there was a technological collapse and the galaxy hasn't fully recoveres but we do not exactly know why. Now with Disney, I have zero clue was is canon as they dismissed Lucas and then cherry pick what to keep.

[@whendarknessfalls6969]

Kotor isn't canon in Disney wars.

[@electrolytes]

Tyrone you are exactly right about the earring thing. That’s how I was brought up too. Left straight.😂

[@weirdchick257]

Thank you Tyrone for finally explaining to me why George Lucas sold the rights to Star Wars to Disney. It all makes sense now. Nothing destroys a franchise more than incompetent executives and toxic fans. And dare I say, Star Wars fans got what they deserved.

[@addidaswguy]

I'd trade the Prequels for EVERYTHING they've done outside of Mandalorian S1/2

[@corbanb5]

The only reason every sith had a mask, mouth piece is to hide and protect their identity. They hide in plain sight so have to disguise their voice and appearance. Of course thats my thinking. They just think it's cool and sounds menacing.

[@xregox7628]

00:58 The sales for high republic started off alright. It was like 110k+ units for the first book sold but ended up really bad, the last book only sold 14,000 copies. So quite a huge fall.

[@cameronjones128]

"Force-fu" is not a problem at all. It is absolutely enjoyable, especially after it was introduced by Donnie Yen (in movies). I think the problem is introducing unknown "strong" female characters to a universe that already has strong female characters in its lore that have yet to be shown and appreciated in this cinematic universe.

[@akirahojo2]

Many Sith Lords had Vader’s mask because they were all ‘forced’ to live in Mustafar, and that planet is filled with hot toxic gases. Either that, or they like to get high on something.

[@R0GU3ST4TU5]

I would've turned to the dark side if they messed my life's work up. Like you say: Anakin reincarnated as rey would've been a fire story.. would've made sense since they brought back palps.

In regards to 0:55 the High Republic covers the time period when the Sith were in hiding. So essentially, stories about the Jedi without the sith. Which made them really fucking boring and bland.

[@ericstukus1713]

The fan backlash over the prequels is really disappointing. When episode 1 came out I was in elementary school, when episode two came out I was in middle school, sophomore in high school when episode three came out, I thought they were really good. I did however notice that attack of the clone’s was slightly my least favorite but theres still really epic stuff that took place in that movie that set up the clone wars and the events of episode three and into the original trilogy. No movie is perfect. Fans were too hard on George 😢

Better writing, casting actors for jedi who can actually wield a lightsaber with speed and precision, 80% less female characters(with better writing for the female characters that are there), better pacing, more episodes per season(but not too many). These are the most crucial things that are needed to return Star Wars to its former glory, it wont happen but one can pray.
