Man I can't wait to watch my favorite 40 year old man child obsessed with Star Wars give a scathing review of this goyslop on israelitetube. >STOP WATCHING STARWARS
This but unironically. I give the grifters that make fun of this shit views on youtube and ignore the actual show. It’s fun just hearing about the trainwreck.
Using the word in their language ironically. I know nerdrotic genuinely doesn’t like Disney Stat Wars and makes money giving his honest opinion because a lot of other people hate it too.
I will click all the grifters nine times with nine different IP just for the kek. I will contribute to making all the youtube chuds rich as frick while shitting on garbage slop like ackolyte.
Proudly dropping about $5000 a month collectively on Geeks+Gamers and Nerdrotic supers and gifted memberships. And it's Hollywood's fault btw. I used to spend my disposable income on my favorite franchises, but now they're all dead, so I happily give to the people who make Hollywood homosexuals seethe. Schadenfreude-ing at the absolute state and slow but steady collapse of the entertainment business is truly priceless. That's what happens when you replace characters with identities and stories with ideologies. Ryan Kinel is my spirit animal.
You replaced one bad habit, for another one JFL, if you think Nerdrotic, the former drug addict who lived in San gaysisco for 20 years and brags about having mixed raced kids is some type of anti-woke conservative, you're a bigger fricking idiot than the soijaks who watch Yidsney Star Wars.
>trying to badmouth the chillest dude on yt to an actual fan who derives genuine entertainment from the man and his crew and has formed lifelong bonds with members of the community at meetups
OMFG anon you're right! I better go get jabbed, go vegan to reduce my carbon footprint, get a D+ subscription, trans my wife's son and vote Biden early!
>Proudly dropping about $5000 a month collectively on Geeks+Gamers and Nerdrotic supers and gifted memberships.
Stop that and go have kids or something. That's weird.
I have three and I'm homeschooling them so hard they don't even know what a television looks like. The funny thing is that unlike the woke turbo homosexuals b***hing on the internet, the majority of the G+G and Nerdrotic community are married functional contributing members of society with real lives and careers.

Heavy duty industrial equipment repairs. Surprisingly small (we operate out of a modified hangar) but stupid profitable. The hardest part was assembling a highly qualified loyal crew, after that it was smooth sailing. I rarely get my hands dirty nowadays and I do have a partner, so I 'd say I'm pretty happy with my free time. I pretty much just do PR, schmoozing clients and making sure we never run out of work.

Star wars is boring. I don't really understand what do you expect. Even the original trilogy was just a space fairy tale. It only hit because space was a new thing in the 70s. Star wars is simply dead as a franchise, because every star wars story boils down to two plots: 1. Good defeats the bad. 2. Good guys are not the saints you believed them to be.
As for the Acoylate the whole premise is just boring. It feels like a shitty Agatha Christie rip off. This show is literally And Then There Were None with light sabers. Yeah we understand the Jedi killed the witches and Mae is taking revenge on them. The episode was just simply boring. Why does this had to be the third episode? We already knew about the fire and the Jedi taking them and the Jedi doing something bad.
>We already knew about the fire and the Jedi taking them and the Jedi doing something bad.
Star Wars is boring because it is all like this. We already know where it has to end, everything is a fricking prequel or midquel that inevitably has to conclude in a way that immediately ties in to some other pre-existing entry in the franchise.
part of the fun of the old republic stuff was it's set so far behind the events of the films they could have fun playing around, because you could easily explain anything away as a lot of shit changing over 2000+ years
>We already knew about the fire and the Jedi taking them and the Jedi doing something bad.

Thats because the people who inherited it are moronic
Star Wars would be fascinating post empire with a triumvirate like split in the galactic governance.
If I had gotten star wars and Disney didn't, I would have written the galaxy to have devolved into several factions with the big three being empire remnants, hutt/alien faction, and new republic with force users being split between them as ideological forces like the Jedi and Sith were to broken to be rebuilt. This could create new force ideologies.
The point is you had the basis to move the dynamics of the universe forwards after the fall of the empire but Disney is too moronic to do that.
>a laughable scene where the group of witches chant the lamest chant possible: https://x.com/GWAPO42/status/1800731086361931792
Jesus fricking Christ. It looks like some cheap, hippy run community theater show that someone filmed with an old handy cam.
How many million did they "spend" on this?
>>a laughable scene where the group of witches chant the lamest chant possible: https://x.com/GWAPO42/status/1800731086361931792
Holy frick. We've reached levels of shit in Star Wars previously thought impossible. Incredible!
>the anticlimactic cliffhanger ending, where the main character apparently falls to her death, is dumb, annoying, and not fooling anyone because it's only the third episode
Why do shows do this? If there was someone with balls at the helm, it would be a wprrying cliffhanger. Lynch or Refn ending an episode with that would be terrifying because you know there's a good chance they'd just kill off the main character for shits.
But in disneywars? It's not fooling even the dumbass 5 year old kids who are being forced to watch it by their mentally stunted twittertard parents
The show isnt bad enough for all this seething though. Theres nothing controversial in this boring show.
Does this sound like rage? Stop calling everyone rage filled racists or whatever.
Anyway, If anyone is rage filled its because they are angry to watch a nonsense story that makes Jedi lame and boring (not trying to do South Park). Lame because Jedi isn't even someone anyone would want to be. They showed that Jedi are weak, cultish religious idiots who steals peoples kids, corrupt, doing crimes that deserve capital punishment, they are just as bad as anyone "and some I assume are good people". Good or evil doesn't exist.
Its obviously an allegory for the Catholic Church now and that fricking sucks. That is the reason why people can't quite point out why they hate Star Wars now because people can't remember the reference Disney is using. The Jedi = Catholic Church.
The producers now show someone who doesn't believe in good or evil to be able to be connected to the force so powerful that she can create life from it. So it truly is just stupid that anyone cares about The Force enough to become light or dark.
Holy shit I just thought of it, what Disney is saying is being Atheist is the best way because it doesn't matter if you believe in anything at all, what matters is that you are a good person or something stupid. Anyone can use the force from a little broom kid, a rock, an alien, a witch someone not trained in the Jedi arts, if you are a orgy having, IVF fricking lesbian, you have no training, no master, you can be as powerful as Emperor fricking Palpatine.
So being light sided Jedi or dark sides is just the same as being Catholic or Muslim and both are stupid because "God is for everyone".
That is why people hate Star Wars so much now. Its like The Last Temptation of Christ but for nerds.
Stop watchiung slop the seething at said slop. Better for your mental health. I suggest you check out The zotoichi series, they're all on youtube.Its what this dohshiit series trying to emulate but failing.
>>Mae, the titular Acolyte who wants revenge on the Jedi for killing her witch family, is revealed in this episode to have been the one who burnt her witch village to the ground (and also tried to kill her twin while she was at it); even presuming the show will eventually reveal more to this backstory, it still comes across as nonsensical and underexplained
this. its so stupid. she killed her whole family and tried to murder her own sister but she is mad at the jedi for it? i am sure some obvious deus ex machina will be revealed that somehow makes it all the jedi's fault but its still super stupid. and its the underlying premise for the whole show's plot. so the whole show is based on a stupid premise that doesnt make sense.
I suspect there will be another flashback episode that is like this one, but from how Mae remembers events. There are still scenes in tv spots of Carrie-Ann Moss and the other character that drank poison that haven't been in the show yet.
Do you think there is some grand unspoken conspiracy amongst production and script reviewing where they purposefully give zero effort to the shows production? Like they see how bad it is and no longer try improving it because the dei hires are insufferable and moronic so they stopped trying to help and just let the show fail?
>>a laughable scene where the group of witches chant the lamest chant possible
Maybe they think this will be like a nu hunger games sign with the finger bullshit

Where have I seen this before?
> Jedi are actually bad
Wasn’t the whole point of the high republic setting to get back to nice good and evil stories and a glamorous setting where the jedi aren’t political pawns or cucked?
This just sounds like KOTOR but written by idiots.
They can't help themselves, they have too much ethnonarcissistic/ideological baggage.
The Jedi were always hybridised stand-ins for medieval monastic-knights and the Japanese equivalent, so when they see the dark-siders "persecuted" they have to build narratives like this that undermine the setting.
Even the Empire, which was clearly German-coded aesthetically, to the point that that's all most normies see in them, actually had too much of the USSR and Britain in them to be left as it was, so the Disney canon turned the anti-Jedi purges into the Spanish inquisition rather than Soviet state atheism or English priest-hunters which were more visible in the old sensibility where the new regime inverted good and bad
I noticed a few months ago that the local nerd/geek francise doesn't keep any high republic comics and books on their shelves, only on their webstore. I've never met someone talking about them in the local game stores.
>This just sounds like KOTOR but written by idiots.
that's pretty much it..
and brings up another point, they literally could've just used EU stuff like KOTOR and had a great show.. but no.. need stronk noneedman self procreating Black personwitches.
I'm gathering they want to make the witches a new thing, Honestly it wouldn't surprise me at this point if we have some equivalent to the Korean's witch-cult, just here it's a shadow-puppeteer in entertainment instead of political.
Like that is schizo shit but it would perfectly explain the tendency of wicca-witchy-pagan homosexualry of late. I just hate saying that for how /x/ moronic it makes me sound, but it all would explain things perfectly.
didn't even mention how moronic it was during the fire all the witches dead with no burn marks or fire to be seen, they just all dropped dead.. it was like a bad high school play.. sad, I even thought the first couple of episodes weren't bad..
>Even in a high tech fantasy universe with special magic powers, black women still cannot express numeracy beyond "one, two, many".

Seriously, if these are the stories you wish to tell why wouldn't you just make a new franchise? This isn't Star Wars. The only possible explanation is they purposely set out to ruin these properties.
The problem is that they know nobody will watch anything new they create so they take something that already exists with a loyal fanbase and they take it over in the belief that the fans will always watch and nu-fans will be drawn in to stories about them.
This is how genuinely fricking moronic and disingenuous they are, when it fails they blame it on "fatigue" with the IP or product and not their shit writing and zero talent.
I mean, they've basically indirectly stated it. >we just want to ruin the SW that white men like >'so what does that mean?'
turns out, everything that made the sw good.
Remember Anakin ? The guy who was birthed by Force iteself ? The man who wiped out a galaxy to restore balance ?
Actually, diverse lesbian witches did it centuries before him.
>stiff, blank expression acting >very very bad writing to work with anyway >the plot has zero purpose >nothing is interesting >despite costing the most per episode it has the lowest quality
The only people i see defending it are either paid, or stupid. even the average disney/sw consumer isn't into it.
this is what I don't understand
why is anybody watching it?
at this point anybody who isn't moron automatically knows any new Stars Wars is most likely going to be ass and doubly so when a hack like Leslye Headland is running it.
why do people expect anything different. Disney in general is garbage, as a company they there is a huge lack of talent on all levels.
Almost nobody is based on even the cooked "viewing figures". A million or so terminal consoomers(the "premiere" was barely over 4mil and these shows always suffer a huge drop off) and the people watching so they can dunk on it for YT revenue are the only ones subjecting themselves to this shit; why do you think the damage control brigade are coming on so strong over it?
>why is anybody watching it?
Pretty much nobody is watching it, even through super inflating the numbers like Disney has been doing forever the finale might be as low as a 5 digit figure
For all of Lesbian Headband's planning, setting the story before any of the movies undoes any of the "good" that is attempted to being built.
Think about it, if the moral of this series is that women rule, boys, suck, lightsaber colours don't matter, everyone is somehow both sexless AND gay, blacks dindu nuffin wrong, straight is evil, white is evil, male is evil, patriarchy is evil, and traditions don't matter - that the PT and OT don't include any of this seems to demonstrate that the franchise and the universe by extension learned the error of these ways.
If the propaganda agenda was to show these things as good, displaying them during an era we know them to end seems like a bad choice on top of a bad choice.

it's like amazon's lord of the rings tv series, rings of power, where hobbits, dwarves, and elves are multicultural in the past and randomly have dark skinned people in their midst but later on in the actual lord of the rings movies there are no black dwarves, elves, or hobbits. which implies a genocide of dark skinned dwarves, elves, and hobbits happened some time in between and/or they were all bred out.
by hamfisting multicultural characters into prequels these show runners create historic worlds that conflict with the existing worlds. its just silly/stupid/cringe.
The Lesbians are literally Sith; i.e the faction who murdered itself *twice* and then poisoned the Galaxy for generations after with their schizo ideology.
But theres nothing to rage about. Its why they all got angry at fire in space the show is justs dull. There is 0 content to farm here. Even the coven of witches was a nothing burger. The writers are afraid to rock the boat and offend people so they create bland stories.
>Theres nothing controversial in this boring show.
The importance of anakin get reduced (again) first he's not longer the chosen one (Rey is), then he didn't kill the emperor a brought balance to the force ( Rey did) and now the last thing that made him special (being born of the force, dimilar to immaculate conception) has been done before by group of witch space lesbians
Who gives a shit noone likes godawful Anakin and his jesus allegory bs. The fans bullied him out of acting decades ago. The crap you're defendng is the reason Lucas had to sell the franchise.
>criticism = seething according to goyslop shill
What is it with morons like you that believe someone can't criticize something without being mad at it?
I thought it was okay. I hoped it was the jedi that burned the coven and covered it up, but of course they went the safe route and it was only indirectly their fault
>I thought it was okay.
how? the dialogue? the angry women? the singing? the plot holes?
I mean legitimately. how is that episode "okay"? Give us comparison to something else that isn't okay. I want to understand how someone can think it's okay or actually like that show.
I liked it so it was okay.
And I don't know, I don't really watch stuff that I don't like.
I guess that new woody woodpecker movie was pretty bad, but I simply stopped watching after 15 minutes and never thought about the thing again until now
>I liked it so it was okay.
but you can't explain why or how.
>And I don't know, I don't really watch stuff that I don't like.
That doesn't make it okay.
That just means anything that doesn't make you change the channel is "okay".
That's just you being lazy. It's not a sign of how good or bad a product is.
Under your belief all commercials are okay because you watch them.
The community theater lesbian chant scene is the type of moment that goes beyond cringe and suggests a mixture of mental illness, lack of self-awareness and creative bankruptcy.
The current tsunami of mockery and derision on social media should make Disney think carefully about the type of decline it's facing bc it's not just financial.
I love it when people use the word chud like it's some kind of real zinger. Makes me chuckle because I know they're seething like a motherfricker when they type it.
Benedetta, The Handmaiden and Portrait of a Lady on Fire are 3 of the best films of the last 10 years. I refuse to watch this because it looks shit.
Seethe moar
Was there any of that "using the force to create life" stuff in the OT? I thought that was invented in the prequels and I assumed that Disney star wars tried to avoid prequel shit.
>I assumed that Disney star wars tried to avoid prequel shit.
I'm not as cynical as most here but it's clearly meant to be a deconstruction/restructuring episode.
The line "some people call it a 'force' and claim they 'use it'." is said with disgust in the powerful black lesbian witch's voice.
>I assumed that Disney star wars tried to avoid prequel shit
they've been leaning into it somewhat, i.e. hayden christensen playing anakin in the obi wan and ashoka shows, and darth maul in the han solo film.
>Was there any of that "using the force to create life" stuff in the OT?
No. >I thought that was invented in the prequels and I assumed that Disney star wars tried to avoid prequel shit.
That was never the case outside of the ST. Rebels was filled with prequelshit. The cmics have had plenty of prequelshit. OT stuff is and always will be more prominent because it defined Star Wars, but even Mandalorian has prequel references. Book of Boba Fett basically is a prequel reference given how much it emphasizes Tem Morrison.
The VVitch redpilled me on this. Maybe they don't show this in The Acolyte, but a long time ago in a galaxy far far away is actually Hell and the space witches are part of Satan's harem.
Same here. It was really bad. The girls acting were horrible, the dialogue was very poorly written and cringe. I found myself picking up my phone which is something I never do when I'm watching something I've never seen before. I was constantly eye rolling and even vocalizing how awful it was even though I was watching it alone. I guess I gotta congratulate Leslie Headland for that, because I haven't had that kind of reaction to a show in years.
>Disney should be embarrassed to put this shit out for people to watch
They should. But they'll just call you a racist homophobe if you criticize them.
I just saw that chanting scene. It's like something out of Buffy if Buffy wasn't self aware. So unintentionally hilarious and embarrassing. >The power of manyyyyyyyyy
Star Wars is like now, imagine if they make a prequel to Harry Potter. In that they said, Muggles aren't real its just racism. Everyone in the world can use magic and have before. Cut to a story, there is a coven of witches who made some magical babies. They were lesbian which made them hated by The Church. This ties into Boy Who Lived somehow. Like the baby was the girl who invented Hogwarts in 1457 or whatever. Knights Templar are sent to investigate, eventually killing all the witches in fire except for the two twins. One twin is as bad as Voldemort and decided she would kill all these different priests and Italian politicians. The good twin decided to stop her. Eventually the story goes, humans aren't ready for magic but they could always use it. There was an interesting sequel to Salem Witch Trials and how that started Hogwarts: America. And later some random person who never touched a book in her life gets good enough with magic to save the world or some shit.
This except the bad twin kills half the catholic church in the crusades which is why they lost the crusades the real reason and we root for her and its weird when she dies we are wondering how to feel
>there is no good or bad, just power and who is allowed to use it >In an objectively bad show created by someone with no experience, likely being rewarded for keeping her mouth shut after her boss was found guilty for raping a bunch of women.
Any time the rich and powerful create something and tell you “there is no bad or good” it’s because they’ve made something bad but still want you buy it.
what's amazing to me is that this episode was the best they could come up with. even discounting all the woke shit, the episode on its own is complete crap.
They should honor and revere Star Wars and treat it and its fans with respect. So this is the crap they not only make but release?
Especially when its well known that so many marvel projects have been shot, discarded and reshot several times? Like they couldn't do that with Star Wars in an attempt to make it less bad?
>Like they couldn't do that with Star Wars in an attempt to make it less bad?
the script was completely rewritten at least once, maybe twice from what we know. I think disney actually have the show the boot and demanded it be done given its current budget.
have made a new epic space opera with kino visuals, minimal dialogue, expanded the lore slightly
I honestly don't think they have the capability to make anything good.
They won't hire fans who love the lore and IP and talented people won't touch their slop.
I honestly think the only reason they got Trinity is that she, like all of us would love to play a Jedi. They probably let her keep her lightsaber hilt and outfit.
>They won't hire fans who love the lore and IP and talented people won't touch their slop.
Thing is, Leslie claims to love the lore. She is a fan of the EU and played the table top RPG. I'm really not sure what is is about the lore that she liked so much because she seems to want to take a fat dump all over it with this show.
>Thing is, Leslie claims to love the lore.
she's clearly lying. or she loves her head canon where luke is a post-op troony. (explains the scars in Empire),
>She is a fan of the EU and played the table top RPG.
I'd wager her experiences are much different from the reality
she probably tried to shoehorn her way into a game and they kicked her out for being an insufferable c**t.
There's just no way you can be an ACTUAL Star Wars fan and do this to the canon.
>I love Star Wars
No you don't. You clearly don't. >You can't say that! I l really love Star Wars!
Yes, I can say that, you are a lying psychopath.
It’s weird, she went straight from being Harvey Weinstein’s PA to being a ‘successful’ writer-director. But her original stuff (such as ‘Russian Doll’ and ‘Terriers’) is generally pretty well received while her IP-invading work (the Heathers TV show, The Acolyte, Bachelorette) get fricking slaughtered.
She’s a strange unit to be sure.
>Leslie claims to love the lore. She is a fan of the EU and played the table top RPG.
That explains why it's so shit, then. You don't make star wars by aping star wars. More so, you don't make star wars by aping star wars fan fiction. You make star wars by aping classics, film and literature, by aping what inspired star wars, by aping universal themes and adding spaceships and space wizards to it to make it fun. Instead we've gotten dyke wish fulfillment fan fiction identity politics cringe, sprinkled with dollar store Kreia bullshit.
They spent how much on this? Like $250m total if I remember right.
They could've made 25 indie feature films from upcoming young directors with budgets of $10m each.
They could've made a small-scale star wars story on the scale of Blade Runner 2049 with a decent established director - twice over
They could've made an epic intergalactic war story on the scale of Avatar or Dunc.
Instead they shat out this slop and paid journalists to attack people who criticised it.
It has a reported budget of $180million (twice of what Kenobi got) and then they have certainly been marketing the shit out of it so I imagine they have some hefty costs there.
>It has a reported budget of $180million (twice of what Kenobi got) and then they have certainly been marketing the shit out of it so I imagine they have some hefty costs there.
Godzilla Minus One cost $15 millions to make, for comparison.
Reported cost $180 million, not including advertising and promotion. >A single basic Disney subscription of $7.99/month would take 1,877,346 years to pay for this tripe
The franchise is governed by people who don't care about it, or even actively hate it, who are furthermore not very talented. They have something to say about the world and politics and life, but they aren't smart enough to have the opinions they want to have, so you end up with a poorly written show with hamfisted takes wearing the dead skin of something once loved, now laid low.
It's a pattern one sees everywhere in entertainment these last ten years, in all mediums.
What is Disney's gameplan with Nu Wars? They've pushed put the majority of the old fan who've dumped billions into the franchise. How do they expect to turn a profit if the fans they are chasing do not buy merch?
Damn I remember watching this movie split in 100 webms together with other Anons on 8Cinemaphile and everyone was laughing at this scene. Good times I miss them ;_;
for all the screeching about strong wamans and leso shit being forced into star wars, i actually dont mind the concept of a witches coven using the force as an idea, the implementation was woeful though, the writing on the show is just pitiful.
Not gonna watch but the thing that puzzles me are yhr people who defend this show and got angry at people who critizise this shit. They all have the same look, if you know what I mean. Jesus christ dude, you're not gonna get pussy or female attention when you defend tv-shows or movies
I’m beginning to wonder if this shit isn’t some kind of tax scam or ‘the producers’ kind of a situation. >get filming tax credits from state gov’t >these can literally be sold >Sell 20 million in tax credit for $50 to a left-hand company the parent company also owns which has a $20 million tax debt >record massive losses on show because no profit means no tax >claim losses against other tax imposts >??? >profit!
>The power of ONE >The power of TWO >The power of MAAAAANNNY
Somewhere the Count from Sesame Street is apoplectic. Also, the chorus in the music sounds hilariously stupid. How many takes did they do to get one where someone out of 15 people weren’t laughing.
The only way to salvage this train wreck is if the Count from Sesame Street is revealed as the masked sith lord and kills everyone. I want to see a full length lightsaber fight with the Count muppet that's very obviously just a dude's hand.
Having a chant makes sense but it feels like a generic placeholder, or a parody. The way they sing the last line is what hurts it the most. It's corny even for Star Wars.
>Having a chant makes sense but it feels like a generic placeholder, or a parody
DOCTOR ZAIUS DOCTOR ZAIUS
OHHHHHH
DOCTOR ZAIUS
(Doctor Zaius Doctor Zaius)
It's the lack of subtlety that's crazy these days. They really just don't care that it's aggressively lame and on the nose. I can't fathom anyone liking something done distractingly heavy handed even if you agree with it in principle or something
It would have been more convincing if the chant was gibberish but in a tribal sense, used as a hymn for the ritual. Instead its all English and purely nonsensical.
It was a bad episode, but I'm not sure why people are fixated on it the way they are. Star Wars has had much worse. Sure nothing of real interest happens, but that defined the entirety of Ahsoka. It wasn't as bad as the BOBF scooter chase episode. It wasn't as bad as Obi-Wan trying to hide an 8 year old under a coat. I'm not even sure it was as bad as Mandalorian's third season frequently was. Are people flipping out because they expected this show to save Star Wars? I don't get it.
because they didn't advertise the show at all for years and simply posted drama pieces, scandal-focused interviews, and generally mocked the franchise all the way until about a week before release. But it back fired since even normies didn't get hyped up, so it's flopping as close as it can for a stream show.

I'm not even sure it was as bad as Mandalorian's third season frequently was. Are people flipping out because they expected this show to save Star Wars? I don't get it.
I mean, I don't even watch this shit. I'm just here to fart on people who do.
just let starwars die. the kiddies aren't interested in it. the og fans left because they got told to frick off. the only ones that cling to it are just sad people. georgie boi lucas left it because he doesn't want to care and just want to retire. just let the troonies and gays have it. it is a sinking ship disney shot holes at thinking that will make it float.
>You clearly aren't the target audience anymore
I am fully aware of this fact. Have been for years now.
What I want to know is, who the frick is this targeted at? And more to the point, who actually watches this and says "yup, this is the star wars I love"
I shall remind them: >Lucas said Leia was the main character in the original and championed women. >Lucas introduced Jedi snatching children in the prequels and made them boring. >Lucas introduced witches in the EU and TCW. >Lucas introduced force-induced births in the prequels.
The stupid thing about this show is, all it is doing is copying Lucas shit. All Star Wars does, is copy Star Wars. The prequels copied the OT, The sequels copied the OT. They all take from the EU or old concept art when it suits them.
people really forget how hated george was just before the disney buy out. how everyone was praising disney because "we'll finally get good movies again and not this animated bullshit" to todays complete 180.

>to todays complete 180.
it's because in hindsight, the issue with Lucas and the prequels was that the ideas he had were half-baked or poorly implemented, or just dumb. but, at least they were 'original' (insofar that they didn't just completely ape off of star wars property that came before)

And more importantly, Lucas had some kind of "vision" for his movies, something that tied everything together and made it all cohesive.
nothing about disney wars has that, there is no vision beyond just making a bunch of shit, seeing what sticks, and milking this franchise for every last drop of blood it has
>they didn't just completely ape off of star wars property that came before
Please anon... Boba Fett was super popular because his few bad ass lines left a lot to the imagination. Lucas decided to kill him off on a whim (just throw him in the pit, is something he is quoted as saying). Then the prequels randomly pulled in Jango Fett as if to try and win back some fans with, look we know you liked Boba Fett.

>cohesive
Lucas' concepts changed all the time, there was no plan set in stone, and that is fine because most stories are like that. There is plenty of stuff that is far from cohesive.
but for every boba/jango fett in the prequels, there was the clones, the droids, the idea and concepts of both the sith and jedi orders, midichlorians, etc.
like i said, not all of it was good, most of it was half-baked or badly implemented, but they were new(ish) ideas, or ideas from the OT that were greatly expanded upon. >Lucas' concepts changed all the time, there was no plan set in stone, and that is fine because most stories are like that. There is plenty of stuff that is far from cohesive.
the overall vision that the prequels had was the rise and fall of a hero, before the OT took it from there and became a redemptive story. In fact, the PT was more cohesive than the OT because the OT was far from set in stone, the PT had time to be planned out by lucas

This is such weird praise because you are boiling the story down to its roots and acting like "well that is praise". I get all the prequel arguments come down to "ideas good, execution bad" but when you strip it down that far to argue a point you're really just talking bare bones.
said Leia was the main character in the original and championed women.
I mean, yeah, she was. He's right.
introduced Jedi snatching children in the prequels and made them boring.
Jedi never snatched children in the prequels and they were not any less boring than Yoda and Obi-Wan in the Originals.
introduced witches in the EU and TCW.
Nightsisters were not a bunch of black lesbians, who needed no men to procreate, and who were, apparently, persecuted, ugh, because... le power? One is not like the other. Also, Nightsisters were sexy and mystical, and not just a bunch of ugly dykes.
introduced force-induced births in the prequels.
Yeah, Anakin's birth was the will of the Force. The concept of a hero being born without a father is mythological and suggests that the hero is touched by God. Ackolyte let some random black lesbians do that, thus trivializing Anakin.
Does anyone else just find watching star wars fans implode entertaining? Like seeing homosexuals screech about every new thing because of their emotional investment in a literal product that changes all the time and has done since the inception of it. The most commercial consumerist movies series on the planet. Watching them all try and out compete each other in who is most angry.
how hard it is to just adapt one of the good books or comics of old EU? Just do a fricking show on Dark Times, it has Jedi, it has fricking strong woman, it has everything. Or the KOTOR comics. But I am even super glad now that they nuked the old EU. Imagine them trying to adapt anything.
WTF how is this even possible a couple of guys in this thread can make a better show storyline than Disney
Even if they shot for shot remade some old EU or comics, people would still complain. In fact a bunch of the disney stuff has had influence from old underworld scripts, eu with names changed or old concept art. The problem isn't the ideas... the problem is the lack of connective humanity. The prequels too suffered a lot with not feeling like a human story. Leia and Han's romance had more to it than say, Padme and Anakin. If you can't connect people to characters or have something to say about them then why bother? Nothing about Osha or Mae really endears them to me. Sol is about the only person people are claiming they like. Mark Hamill wasn't the greatest actor in ANH, but I gave a lot more of a frick about his story.
>Why is the asiaticy Jedi handing over a lightsaber to a child?
Because foreshadowing is now simply stating what a character is going to become.
This entire exchange, I imagine even with the uploader's edits removed, is incredibly artificial. If people are that tense, and with their children present, they shouldn't be parlaying calmly.
Watching moronic e-celebs for le epic may-may screencaps to post on 4chinz is worse than watching this disney slop. I have seen you shilling in Andor threads, too. You are honestly mentally ill.
I think deep down Lucas knew that Star Wars' time was up and he wanted to chuck it before it got bad. He wrote his prequels, had a prequel show and a whole expanded universe of shit. I think to him the story was over and the people shitting on him for the prequels was just another extra reason for him to dump it. Lucas made out like a fricking bandit too. I'm curious if Disney has even come close to recouping the moronic amount of money spent on purchasing the franchise. George is laughing at them all the way from Skywalker ranch as he sips the finest champagne and fricks hot black chicks.
I remember when Mandalorian season 1 was coming out and people were thinking SW was fixed just because you had some single episode stories like "Mando defends a village". The bar is so low that "hero saves a village" or "prison break episode" etc etc was seen as great. Then that show shit the bed.
From what I've seen of the show it looks genuinely bad but the criticism I hear is >"strong diverse female does X, then strong diverse female did Y" >"they said it was the gayest star wars can you believe it"
As if that's an objective criticism. I get it, you don't like gay black people in your TV show because you're a chud. I'm a chud too, I don't tune in to watch slop I don't think I would enjoy. That's not what makes something good or bad. Moonlight is about gay black people and is kino.
If you're going to critique it, critique it for being bad not for broader culture war shit. The clown behavior and culture war issue was already settled for Disney when they gave a lesbian director with no good projects under her belt $200 million dollars to produce 1 season of a TV show whose main fanbase are socially maladjusted middle aged men.
It was diverse and gay on purpose, whether or not it's good is an entirely separate question.
I'm sick of surface level critiques. Yeah you don't like israelites shoving gay people and blacks in everything, we get it. That's the most normie opinion possible now.
Frick off back to Reddít then if you want to actually critique this slop >That's the most normie opinion possible now
I agree, normal people would never consider watching this drivel. So piss off
the worst fail theyve done I think, is not giving us what we missed in the prequels. A show about flashbacks of de aged Obi and Anakin going on adventures and actually becoming friends. They would have retroactively fixed everything but no. Of course they didnt.
Man I can't wait to watch my favorite 40 year old man child obsessed with Star Wars give a scathing review of this goyslop on israelitetube.
>STOP WATCHING STARWARS
Hi Zack
This but unironically. I give the grifters that make fun of this shit views on youtube and ignore the actual show. It’s fun just hearing about the trainwreck.
Please explain what you think a grifter is.
Using the word in their language ironically. I know nerdrotic genuinely doesn’t like Disney Stat Wars and makes money giving his honest opinion because a lot of other people hate it too.
I will click all the grifters nine times with nine different IP just for the kek. I will contribute to making all the youtube chuds rich as frick while shitting on garbage slop like ackolyte.
Anon, they're pushing their mid 50s now.
Proudly dropping about $5000 a month collectively on Geeks+Gamers and Nerdrotic supers and gifted memberships. And it's Hollywood's fault btw. I used to spend my disposable income on my favorite franchises, but now they're all dead, so I happily give to the people who make Hollywood homosexuals seethe. Schadenfreude-ing at the absolute state and slow but steady collapse of the entertainment business is truly priceless. That's what happens when you replace characters with identities and stories with ideologies. Ryan Kinel is my spirit animal.
You replaced one bad habit, for another one JFL, if you think Nerdrotic, the former drug addict who lived in San gaysisco for 20 years and brags about having mixed raced kids is some type of anti-woke conservative, you're a bigger fricking idiot than the soijaks who watch Yidsney Star Wars.
>trying to badmouth the chillest dude on yt to an actual fan who derives genuine entertainment from the man and his crew and has formed lifelong bonds with members of the community at meetups
OMFG anon you're right! I better go get jabbed, go vegan to reduce my carbon footprint, get a D+ subscription, trans my wife's son and vote Biden early!
>Proudly dropping about $5000 a month collectively on Geeks+Gamers and Nerdrotic supers and gifted memberships.
Stop that and go have kids or something. That's weird.
I have three and I'm homeschooling them so hard they don't even know what a television looks like. The funny thing is that unlike the woke turbo homosexuals b***hing on the internet, the majority of the G+G and Nerdrotic community are married functional contributing members of society with real lives and careers.
How do you find the time and resources to educate them?
He's making shit up you gullible idiot.

Ryan Kinel "content" consists of saying bullshit over and over while running his fingers through his Zoomer haircut
Still funnier, entertaining and more authentic than you'll ever be

It's over...
I grew up in a trailer park, but I made sure I got an actual degree and worked 16 hour days for most of my 20s. I didn't know what fun was until I was like 35 and started my own business after finally paying off my student loans.
What does your business do and how much work is it to manage?
Heavy duty industrial equipment repairs. Surprisingly small (we operate out of a modified hangar) but stupid profitable. The hardest part was assembling a highly qualified loyal crew, after that it was smooth sailing. I rarely get my hands dirty nowadays and I do have a partner, so I 'd say I'm pretty happy with my free time. I pretty much just do PR, schmoozing clients and making sure we never run out of work.
Neither can I, I fricking love that content. The fact that it makes you seethe only means I can enjoy it more.
Sorry your Black person propaganda is failing.
Isn't Erik Kain the chud reviewer who failed to start a petition against True Detective season 4?
Aren't you the anon that sticks massive objects up his ass and sucks Black person dicks at the same time?
Yeah. So what, chud?
Yes
How do you fail to START a petition?
The submit button is blue, and therefore male. To make things worse, the button is labeled "submit", therefore implying submitting to a male. Many a femyn petition starter has been thwarted by these trigger buttons.
he's recently divorced for a reason. he is also pretty insufferable on twitter.
It was probably the worst attempt to make something in the vein of Star Wars thus far
Why do IPs keep landing in the hands of people who hate them?

Star wars is boring. I don't really understand what do you expect. Even the original trilogy was just a space fairy tale. It only hit because space was a new thing in the 70s. Star wars is simply dead as a franchise, because every star wars story boils down to two plots: 1. Good defeats the bad. 2. Good guys are not the saints you believed them to be.
As for the Acoylate the whole premise is just boring. It feels like a shitty Agatha Christie rip off. This show is literally And Then There Were None with light sabers. Yeah we understand the Jedi killed the witches and Mae is taking revenge on them. The episode was just simply boring. Why does this had to be the third episode? We already knew about the fire and the Jedi taking them and the Jedi doing something bad.
>We already knew about the fire and the Jedi taking them and the Jedi doing something bad.
Star Wars is boring because it is all like this. We already know where it has to end, everything is a fricking prequel or midquel that inevitably has to conclude in a way that immediately ties in to some other pre-existing entry in the franchise.
part of the fun of the old republic stuff was it's set so far behind the events of the films they could have fun playing around, because you could easily explain anything away as a lot of shit changing over 2000+ years
Thats because the people who inherited it are moronic
Star Wars would be fascinating post empire with a triumvirate like split in the galactic governance.
If I had gotten star wars and Disney didn't, I would have written the galaxy to have devolved into several factions with the big three being empire remnants, hutt/alien faction, and new republic with force users being split between them as ideological forces like the Jedi and Sith were to broken to be rebuilt. This could create new force ideologies.
The point is you had the basis to move the dynamics of the universe forwards after the fall of the empire but Disney is too moronic to do that.
>a laughable scene where the group of witches chant the lamest chant possible: https://x.com/GWAPO42/status/1800731086361931792

>>a laughable scene where the group of witches chant the lamest chant possible: https://x.com/GWAPO42/status/1800731086361931792
Holy frick. We've reached levels of shit in Star Wars previously thought impossible. Incredible!
This reminds me of the "Protection Dance" from that "The OA" show.
>the anticlimactic cliffhanger ending, where the main character apparently falls to her death, is dumb, annoying, and not fooling anyone because it's only the third episode
Why do shows do this? If there was someone with balls at the helm, it would be a wprrying cliffhanger. Lynch or Refn ending an episode with that would be terrifying because you know there's a good chance they'd just kill off the main character for shits.
But in disneywars? It's not fooling even the dumbass 5 year old kids who are being forced to watch it by their mentally stunted twittertard parents
>Why do shows do this?
the writers aren't that smart. they think they're being clever and pulling something over our eyes.
in reality we see right through it and it sucks.
We already know she survived though, because this is a flashback episode. It wasn't "a cliffhanger" at all.
Sounds like a chud who can’t deal with the fact that his sekkrit club has icky girls in it
>has icky girls in it
you mean lesbian space witches that hate you?
if we hated this just because it had women in it how come this fricking sucks ass and would such just as bad if it were men doing it:
https://x.com/Nerdrotics/status/1800714753574387890
Does this sound like rage? Stop calling everyone rage filled racists or whatever.
Anyway, If anyone is rage filled its because they are angry to watch a nonsense story that makes Jedi lame and boring (not trying to do South Park). Lame because Jedi isn't even someone anyone would want to be. They showed that Jedi are weak, cultish religious idiots who steals peoples kids, corrupt, doing crimes that deserve capital punishment, they are just as bad as anyone "and some I assume are good people". Good or evil doesn't exist.
Its obviously an allegory for the Catholic Church now and that fricking sucks. That is the reason why people can't quite point out why they hate Star Wars now because people can't remember the reference Disney is using. The Jedi = Catholic Church.
The producers now show someone who doesn't believe in good or evil to be able to be connected to the force so powerful that she can create life from it. So it truly is just stupid that anyone cares about The Force enough to become light or dark.
Holy shit I just thought of it, what Disney is saying is being Atheist is the best way because it doesn't matter if you believe in anything at all, what matters is that you are a good person or something stupid. Anyone can use the force from a little broom kid, a rock, an alien, a witch someone not trained in the Jedi arts, if you are a orgy having, IVF fricking lesbian, you have no training, no master, you can be as powerful as Emperor fricking Palpatine.
So being light sided Jedi or dark sides is just the same as being Catholic or Muslim and both are stupid because "God is for everyone".
That is why people hate Star Wars so much now. Its like The Last Temptation of Christ but for nerds.
Stop watchiung slop the seething at said slop. Better for your mental health. I suggest you check out The zotoichi series, they're all on youtube.Its what this dohshiit series trying to emulate but failing.
Man, you people can barely type in English anymore. Are you shaking that hard with rage that we don't like your new SW show?
Noone is watching this shit except chuds and troons. So they can sperg over Disney slop.

this. its so stupid. she killed her whole family and tried to murder her own sister but she is mad at the jedi for it? i am sure some obvious deus ex machina will be revealed that somehow makes it all the jedi's fault but its still super stupid. and its the underlying premise for the whole show's plot. so the whole show is based on a stupid premise that doesnt make sense.
I suspect there will be another flashback episode that is like this one, but from how Mae remembers events. There are still scenes in tv spots of Carrie-Ann Moss and the other character that drank poison that haven't been in the show yet.
Do you think there is some grand unspoken conspiracy amongst production and script reviewing where they purposefully give zero effort to the shows production? Like they see how bad it is and no longer try improving it because the dei hires are insufferable and moronic so they stopped trying to help and just let the show fail?

Where have I seen this before?
> Jedi are actually bad
Wasn’t the whole point of the high republic setting to get back to nice good and evil stories and a glamorous setting where the jedi aren’t political pawns or cucked?
This just sounds like KOTOR but written by idiots.
They can't help themselves, they have too much ethnonarcissistic/ideological baggage.
The Jedi were always hybridised stand-ins for medieval monastic-knights and the Japanese equivalent, so when they see the dark-siders "persecuted" they have to build narratives like this that undermine the setting.
Even the Empire, which was clearly German-coded aesthetically, to the point that that's all most normies see in them, actually had too much of the USSR and Britain in them to be left as it was, so the Disney canon turned the anti-Jedi purges into the Spanish inquisition rather than Soviet state atheism or English priest-hunters which were more visible in the old sensibility where the new regime inverted good and bad
Unironically Headland has admitted to being a KOTOR fan and is also clearly an idiot so you may be onto something there.
>high republic
I noticed a few months ago that the local nerd/geek francise doesn't keep any high republic comics and books on their shelves, only on their webstore. I've never met someone talking about them in the local game stores.
>This just sounds like KOTOR but written by idiots.

I'm gathering they want to make the witches a new thing, Honestly it wouldn't surprise me at this point if we have some equivalent to the Korean's witch-cult, just here it's a shadow-puppeteer in entertainment instead of political.
Like that is schizo shit but it would perfectly explain the tendency of wicca-witchy-pagan homosexualry of late. I just hate saying that for how /x/ moronic it makes me sound, but it all would explain things perfectly.
didn't even mention how moronic it was during the fire all the witches dead with no burn marks or fire to be seen, they just all dropped dead.. it was like a bad high school play.. sad, I even thought the first couple of episodes weren't bad..

Seriously, if these are the stories you wish to tell why wouldn't you just make a new franchise? This isn't Star Wars. The only possible explanation is they purposely set out to ruin these properties.
>they purposely set out to ruin these properties
stop noticing things
The problem is that they know nobody will watch anything new they create so they take something that already exists with a loyal fanbase and they take it over in the belief that the fans will always watch and nu-fans will be drawn in to stories about them.
This is how genuinely fricking moronic and disingenuous they are, when it fails they blame it on "fatigue" with the IP or product and not their shit writing and zero talent.
I mean, they've basically indirectly stated it.
>we just want to ruin the SW that white men like
>'so what does that mean?'
turns out, everything that made the sw good.
Remember Anakin ? The guy who was birthed by Force iteself ? The man who wiped out a galaxy to restore balance ?
Actually, diverse lesbian witches did it centuries before him.

The only people i see defending it are either paid, or stupid. even the average disney/sw consumer isn't into it.
watch this
and tell me with a straight face that it's not completely terrible, let alone close to "good"
i'd be watching it if it werent for negresses
i have negress fatigue. not Black fatigue, negress fatigue
The crime was its foul existence
The sentence is death.
pussy ass kain changed his headline
this is what I don't understand
why is anybody watching it?
at this point anybody who isn't moron automatically knows any new Stars Wars is most likely going to be ass and doubly so when a hack like Leslye Headland is running it.
why do people expect anything different. Disney in general is garbage, as a company they there is a huge lack of talent on all levels.
Almost nobody is based on even the cooked "viewing figures". A million or so terminal consoomers(the "premiere" was barely over 4mil and these shows always suffer a huge drop off) and the people watching so they can dunk on it for YT revenue are the only ones subjecting themselves to this shit; why do you think the damage control brigade are coming on so strong over it?
>why is anybody watching it?
Pretty much nobody is watching it, even through super inflating the numbers like Disney has been doing forever the finale might be as low as a 5 digit figure
N
For all of Lesbian Headband's planning, setting the story before any of the movies undoes any of the "good" that is attempted to being built.
Think about it, if the moral of this series is that women rule, boys, suck, lightsaber colours don't matter, everyone is somehow both sexless AND gay, blacks dindu nuffin wrong, straight is evil, white is evil, male is evil, patriarchy is evil, and traditions don't matter - that the PT and OT don't include any of this seems to demonstrate that the franchise and the universe by extension learned the error of these ways.
If the propaganda agenda was to show these things as good, displaying them during an era we know them to end seems like a bad choice on top of a bad choice.
>For all of Lesbian Headband's planning, setting the story before any of the movies undoes any of the "good" that is attempted to being built.

it's like amazon's lord of the rings tv series, rings of power, where hobbits, dwarves, and elves are multicultural in the past and randomly have dark skinned people in their midst but later on in the actual lord of the rings movies there are no black dwarves, elves, or hobbits. which implies a genocide of dark skinned dwarves, elves, and hobbits happened some time in between and/or they were all bred out.
by hamfisting multicultural characters into prequels these show runners create historic worlds that conflict with the existing worlds. its just silly/stupid/cringe.
The Lesbians are literally Sith; i.e the faction who murdered itself *twice* and then poisoned the Galaxy for generations after with their schizo ideology.
It's amazing how they were able to come together and make something even worse than even TLJ. BRAVO.
Women, unironically
I think you meant ((women))
>insane youtube starwars shills are screeching about their slop
its
over
Who could have predicted such a tragedy?
The show isnt bad enough for all this seething though. Theres nothing controversial in this boring show.
It's bad enough that no one is even watching it to be entertained. YouTubers complaining are the only ones making any money off this dumb show.
But theres nothing to rage about. Its why they all got angry at fire in space the show is justs dull. There is 0 content to farm here. Even the coven of witches was a nothing burger. The writers are afraid to rock the boat and offend people so they create bland stories.
It's just a fricking bad show made by really stupid and annoying people. If you don't take it seriously there's only laughing at or ignoring it
My journey ends here but enjoy the slop.
>Theres nothing controversial in this boring show.
The importance of anakin get reduced (again) first he's not longer the chosen one (Rey is), then he didn't kill the emperor a brought balance to the force ( Rey did) and now the last thing that made him special (being born of the force, dimilar to immaculate conception) has been done before by group of witch space lesbians
Who gives a shit noone likes godawful Anakin and his jesus allegory bs. The fans bullied him out of acting decades ago. The crap you're defendng is the reason Lucas had to sell the franchise.
that was the best part of that shit show. that's the only thing that makes that show remotely watchable.
shit, i looked at the thumbnail and thought it was the vader/obi wan interaction.
>criticism = seething according to goyslop shill
What is it with morons like you that believe someone can't criticize something without being mad at it?
>What is it with morons like you that believe someone can't criticize something without being mad at it?
Because noone is watching this dogshit show.
I haven’t watched a Star Wars film or TV show since The Force Awakens and I’m not going to start now.
>What went wrong?
Jews. Anti-Whites.
Which episode is the troon PhilosophyTube appearing in?
This one. "She" is one of the few witches that have dialogue.
oh! so one of the witches is a man. that explains the babies.
>Ah well. What a shame. I’ll keep watching (obviously) and I really do hope it gets better.
Tells you all you need to know about the state of things.
I thought it was okay. I hoped it was the jedi that burned the coven and covered it up, but of course they went the safe route and it was only indirectly their fault
>I thought it was okay.
how? the dialogue? the angry women? the singing? the plot holes?
I mean legitimately. how is that episode "okay"? Give us comparison to something else that isn't okay. I want to understand how someone can think it's okay or actually like that show.
I liked it so it was okay.
And I don't know, I don't really watch stuff that I don't like.
I guess that new woody woodpecker movie was pretty bad, but I simply stopped watching after 15 minutes and never thought about the thing again until now
>I liked it so it was okay.
but you can't explain why or how.
>And I don't know, I don't really watch stuff that I don't like.
That doesn't make it okay.
That just means anything that doesn't make you change the channel is "okay".
That's just you being lazy. It's not a sign of how good or bad a product is.
Under your belief all commercials are okay because you watch them.
They didn't show the Jedi kill all the witches because there are 5 more episodes to show it.
The community theater lesbian chant scene is the type of moment that goes beyond cringe and suggests a mixture of mental illness, lack of self-awareness and creative bankruptcy.
The current tsunami of mockery and derision on social media should make Disney think carefully about the type of decline it's facing bc it's not just financial.
Chuds are angry there are lesbian characters in the show.
>Chuds are angry there are lesbian characters in the show.
why must there be lesbians in every single show?
almost like its propaganda.
And it's always lesbians, anytime they make a girl "bisexual" or "nonbinary" it's really just a lesbian in all but name
People are ridiculing the scene.Lesbians should be angry about being portrayed as morons in a context where they're obviously out of plac3
I love it when people use the word chud like it's some kind of real zinger. Makes me chuckle because I know they're seething like a motherfricker when they type it.
Its hilarious that no one really knows it's an acronym.
I don’t want to see gay people on television. Know how you want to see gays ? It’s basically like that but the opposite
Chud status:
not watching your lesbo fan fic
quit spamming the thread troony
Benedetta, The Handmaiden and Portrait of a Lady on Fire are 3 of the best films of the last 10 years. I refuse to watch this because it looks shit.
Seethe moar
I luv me some lebbies. Been asking since day one. When will the uncensored scissoring happen? What episode?
In shows*. Plural. As in
>There are confused angry dykes in all shows now.
It was a shitty cringe story, thats fricking boring and totally uneccessary.
Was there any of that "using the force to create life" stuff in the OT? I thought that was invented in the prequels and I assumed that Disney star wars tried to avoid prequel shit.
>I assumed that Disney star wars tried to avoid prequel shit.
I'm not as cynical as most here but it's clearly meant to be a deconstruction/restructuring episode.
The line "some people call it a 'force' and claim they 'use it'." is said with disgust in the powerful black lesbian witch's voice.
>I assumed that Disney star wars tried to avoid prequel shit
they've been leaning into it somewhat, i.e. hayden christensen playing anakin in the obi wan and ashoka shows, and darth maul in the han solo film.
>Was there any of that "using the force to create life" stuff in the OT?
No.
>I thought that was invented in the prequels and I assumed that Disney star wars tried to avoid prequel shit.
That was never the case outside of the ST. Rebels was filled with prequelshit. The cmics have had plenty of prequelshit. OT stuff is and always will be more prominent because it defined Star Wars, but even Mandalorian has prequel references. Book of Boba Fett basically is a prequel reference given how much it emphasizes Tem Morrison.
Oh no no no no.
With their fake hair its hard to tell if a drag queen or not. Any black woman with a mop of polypropylene rope on their head could be a dude.
I thought we were all a bunch of Chuds for not liking this?
With b***hes You Lose!
What is it with women and space witches or female groups/covens in sci-fi.
It's in everything they've ruined
The VVitch redpilled me on this. Maybe they don't show this in The Acolyte, but a long time ago in a galaxy far far away is actually Hell and the space witches are part of Satan's harem.
Unironically unwatchable.
I have not cringed so hard at anything Star Wars before as I did watching that episode.
Same here. It was really bad. The girls acting were horrible, the dialogue was very poorly written and cringe. I found myself picking up my phone which is something I never do when I'm watching something I've never seen before. I was constantly eye rolling and even vocalizing how awful it was even though I was watching it alone. I guess I gotta congratulate Leslie Headland for that, because I haven't had that kind of reaction to a show in years.
Tell me this is some fake fan ad,this was real & approved by someone actually thinking it was good?
I've seen CW shows with better quality than this, Disney should be embarrassed to put this shit out for people to watch
>Disney should be embarrassed to put this shit out for people to watch
They should. But they'll just call you a racist homophobe if you criticize them.
>Disney should be embarrassed to put this shit out for people to watch
I knew I'd hate it, I knew it wasn't for me, but honestly this is just horrible
What’s up with all the black people?
Equity n shieet
>What’s up with all the black people?
literally the only white males in this so far are either criminals or evil jedi.
Is this Cats?
This looks more like a rejected King Koopa costume from the 93 Mario Bros movie.
the spiky b***h will be the first sith. and will explain that an ancient black woman gave birth to the force and by extension the universe.
Is this filmed on the Volume? Why are they all so close to each other? They're supposed to be outside but it's like they're in a cramped space.
Allegedly, it wasn't.
This part was so damn silly, and not in a way that made me smile. But accurrate to how "real" witches act.
holy frick those kids are ugly
damn if even homosexual journalists are turning on disney israelites things must be even more fricked than anyone thought
is Disney's self destruction of its corporate brand a deliberate act or sheer incompetence?
Both, it's by design
I just saw that chanting scene. It's like something out of Buffy if Buffy wasn't self aware. So unintentionally hilarious and embarrassing.
>The power of manyyyyyyyyy
Buffy would have made a comment that would have BTFO the moronic witches before slaying them
Star Wars is like now, imagine if they make a prequel to Harry Potter. In that they said, Muggles aren't real its just racism. Everyone in the world can use magic and have before. Cut to a story, there is a coven of witches who made some magical babies. They were lesbian which made them hated by The Church. This ties into Boy Who Lived somehow. Like the baby was the girl who invented Hogwarts in 1457 or whatever. Knights Templar are sent to investigate, eventually killing all the witches in fire except for the two twins. One twin is as bad as Voldemort and decided she would kill all these different priests and Italian politicians. The good twin decided to stop her. Eventually the story goes, humans aren't ready for magic but they could always use it. There was an interesting sequel to Salem Witch Trials and how that started Hogwarts: America. And later some random person who never touched a book in her life gets good enough with magic to save the world or some shit.
This except the bad twin kills half the catholic church in the crusades which is why they lost the crusades the real reason and we root for her and its weird when she dies we are wondering how to feel
Those are the worst costumes.
For me it's the deep fried cheetoh hair.
That almost looks like someone colorblind designed that. Its all very cheap and shoddy.
>there is no good or bad, just power and who is allowed to use it
>In an objectively bad show created by someone with no experience, likely being rewarded for keeping her mouth shut after her boss was found guilty for raping a bunch of women.
Any time the rich and powerful create something and tell you “there is no bad or good” it’s because they’ve made something bad but still want you buy it.
MUP DA DOO DIDDA PO MO GUB BIDDA BE DAT TUM FUHFUGGA

is she the inquisitor/dark jedi or whatever the frick she was in Kenobi?
>the jedi are good anakin!
>from my point of view the jedi are evil!
WOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL KINO!!!!!!!!!!
It really felt like I was watching the prequels, and not in a good way.
The 'power and who is using it' has potential but it's stuck in this moron conversation with children.
what's amazing to me is that this episode was the best they could come up with. even discounting all the woke shit, the episode on its own is complete crap.
They should honor and revere Star Wars and treat it and its fans with respect. So this is the crap they not only make but release?
Especially when its well known that so many marvel projects have been shot, discarded and reshot several times? Like they couldn't do that with Star Wars in an attempt to make it less bad?
This was delayed by over 6 months. I'm pretty sure this is the result after extensive reshoots and editing.
>This was delayed by over 6 months.
I must've spaced that fact.
>I'm pretty sure this is the result after extensive reshoots and editing.
And this was the best they can do? Dear lord.
Stop making sense
>Like they couldn't do that with Star Wars in an attempt to make it less bad?
the script was completely rewritten at least once, maybe twice from what we know. I think disney actually have the show the boot and demanded it be done given its current budget.
>could have made a new epic space opera with kino visuals, minimal dialogue, expanded the lore slightly
>make this shit instead
have made a new epic space opera with kino visuals, minimal dialogue, expanded the lore slightly
I honestly don't think they have the capability to make anything good.
They won't hire fans who love the lore and IP and talented people won't touch their slop.
I honestly think the only reason they got Trinity is that she, like all of us would love to play a Jedi. They probably let her keep her lightsaber hilt and outfit.
>They won't hire fans who love the lore and IP and talented people won't touch their slop.
Thing is, Leslie claims to love the lore. She is a fan of the EU and played the table top RPG. I'm really not sure what is is about the lore that she liked so much because she seems to want to take a fat dump all over it with this show.
>Thing is, Leslie claims to love the lore.
she's clearly lying. or she loves her head canon where luke is a post-op troony. (explains the scars in Empire),
>She is a fan of the EU and played the table top RPG.
I'd wager her experiences are much different from the reality
she probably tried to shoehorn her way into a game and they kicked her out for being an insufferable c**t.
There's just no way you can be an ACTUAL Star Wars fan and do this to the canon.
>I love Star Wars
No you don't. You clearly don't.
>You can't say that! I l really love Star Wars!
Yes, I can say that, you are a lying psychopath.
It’s weird, she went straight from being Harvey Weinstein’s PA to being a ‘successful’ writer-director. But her original stuff (such as ‘Russian Doll’ and ‘Terriers’) is generally pretty well received while her IP-invading work (the Heathers TV show, The Acolyte, Bachelorette) get fricking slaughtered.
She’s a strange unit to be sure.
>Leslie claims to love the lore. She is a fan of the EU and played the table top RPG.
That explains why it's so shit, then. You don't make star wars by aping star wars. More so, you don't make star wars by aping star wars fan fiction. You make star wars by aping classics, film and literature, by aping what inspired star wars, by aping universal themes and adding spaceships and space wizards to it to make it fun. Instead we've gotten dyke wish fulfillment fan fiction identity politics cringe, sprinkled with dollar store Kreia bullshit.
kinda like how Rafe Judkins claimed to love the Wheel of Time, or Lauren Hissrich claimed to love the Witcher
starting to think some of these Hollywood types might be acting in bad faith lads!
They spent how much on this? Like $250m total if I remember right.
They could've made 25 indie feature films from upcoming young directors with budgets of $10m each.
They could've made a small-scale star wars story on the scale of Blade Runner 2049 with a decent established director - twice over
They could've made an epic intergalactic war story on the scale of Avatar or Dunc.
Instead they shat out this slop and paid journalists to attack people who criticised it.
It has a reported budget of $180million (twice of what Kenobi got) and then they have certainly been marketing the shit out of it so I imagine they have some hefty costs there.
>It has a reported budget of $180million (twice of what Kenobi got) and then they have certainly been marketing the shit out of it so I imagine they have some hefty costs there.
Godzilla Minus One cost $15 millions to make, for comparison.
Reported cost $180 million, not including advertising and promotion.
>A single basic Disney subscription of $7.99/month would take 1,877,346 years to pay for this tripe
The franchise is governed by people who don't care about it, or even actively hate it, who are furthermore not very talented. They have something to say about the world and politics and life, but they aren't smart enough to have the opinions they want to have, so you end up with a poorly written show with hamfisted takes wearing the dead skin of something once loved, now laid low.
It's a pattern one sees everywhere in entertainment these last ten years, in all mediums.
Is there anything lamer than middle aged women larping as witches?

Nah because they don't do that in a group

What is Disney's gameplan with Nu Wars? They've pushed put the majority of the old fan who've dumped billions into the franchise. How do they expect to turn a profit if the fans they are chasing do not buy merch?
>What is Disney's gameplan with Nu Wars?
Apparently running it into the ground with no survivors. Cause that's what they're doing.
Push their corporate friendly left wing agenda using too big to fail established franchises
>too big to fail
Not anymore.
>Disney
>gameplan with Nu Wars
Pick one
Their only 'plan' seems to have been
1) Kill off all the legacy characters
2) Pump out as much shit as possible before people lose interest
stop watching tard wars
It really is irreversible damage.
There are literally 4 threads on this very episode. Do you gays have nothing better to do or are you too busy not even bother to check the catalog.
>anakin created made by two gay men

He has a son. In both continuities.
Sheev takes his pleasures widely
Sheev wasn't gay. Wtf?
>Sheev wasn't gay. Wtf?
Not yet. They'll retcon him into a massive queen.
Watching this dreck is a humiliation ritual. It's only for people with cuck humiliation fetishes. You get what you deserve if you watch it.

Damn I remember watching this movie split in 100 webms together with other Anons on 8Cinemaphile and everyone was laughing at this scene. Good times I miss them ;_;
Bradley Russell deserves a fate worse than death for such blatant shilling.
women
for all the screeching about strong wamans and leso shit being forced into star wars, i actually dont mind the concept of a witches coven using the force as an idea, the implementation was woeful though, the writing on the show is just pitiful.
>What went wrong?
that mop they put on top of her bald head
Not gonna watch but the thing that puzzles me are yhr people who defend this show and got angry at people who critizise this shit. They all have the same look, if you know what I mean. Jesus christ dude, you're not gonna get pussy or female attention when you defend tv-shows or movies

Somewhere the Count from Sesame Street is apoplectic. Also, the chorus in the music sounds hilariously stupid. How many takes did they do to get one where someone out of 15 people weren’t laughing.
Reminds of the scene in Conan the Destroyer where he’s counting the people attacking Grace Jones in his thick Austrian accent. “Wahrn… dtooo… lahts!”
The only way to salvage this train wreck is if the Count from Sesame Street is revealed as the masked sith lord and kills everyone. I want to see a full length lightsaber fight with the Count muppet that's very obviously just a dude's hand.
This is just literally headland wiping her ass with star wars lmao
>mfw
The past two weeks are the most fun i've had on Cinemaphile in months
Having a chant makes sense but it feels like a generic placeholder, or a parody. The way they sing the last line is what hurts it the most. It's corny even for Star Wars.
>Having a chant makes sense but it feels like a generic placeholder, or a parody
DOCTOR ZAIUS DOCTOR ZAIUS
OHHHHHH
DOCTOR ZAIUS
(Doctor Zaius Doctor Zaius)
It's the lack of subtlety that's crazy these days. They really just don't care that it's aggressively lame and on the nose. I can't fathom anyone liking something done distractingly heavy handed even if you agree with it in principle or something
Reminds me of the lame as shit "songs" of Rings of power
The wanderlust song is ok, the backgrounds and scenery cuts were good too.
The dialogue and Black folk are what ruined it
>That little hiss they do
Lmao it reminds me of this
It would have been more convincing if the chant was gibberish but in a tribal sense, used as a hymn for the ritual. Instead its all English and purely nonsensical.
when O.S.H.A and the other one came on during the ceremony scene this was all i could think of. >jfc

It was a bad episode, but I'm not sure why people are fixated on it the way they are. Star Wars has had much worse. Sure nothing of real interest happens, but that defined the entirety of Ahsoka. It wasn't as bad as the BOBF scooter chase episode. It wasn't as bad as Obi-Wan trying to hide an 8 year old under a coat. I'm not even sure it was as bad as Mandalorian's third season frequently was. Are people flipping out because they expected this show to save Star Wars? I don't get it.
because they didn't advertise the show at all for years and simply posted drama pieces, scandal-focused interviews, and generally mocked the franchise all the way until about a week before release. But it back fired since even normies didn't get hyped up, so it's flopping as close as it can for a stream show.

I mean, I don't even watch this shit. I'm just here to fart on people who do.
just let starwars die. the kiddies aren't interested in it. the og fans left because they got told to frick off. the only ones that cling to it are just sad people. georgie boi lucas left it because he doesn't want to care and just want to retire. just let the troonies and gays have it. it is a sinking ship disney shot holes at thinking that will make it float.
why do you keep watching and talking about it?
You clearly aren't the target audience anymore, just let it go.
>You clearly aren't the target audience anymore
I am fully aware of this fact. Have been for years now.
What I want to know is, who the frick is this targeted at? And more to the point, who actually watches this and says "yup, this is the star wars I love"
I shall remind them:
>Lucas said Leia was the main character in the original and championed women.
>Lucas introduced Jedi snatching children in the prequels and made them boring.
>Lucas introduced witches in the EU and TCW.
>Lucas introduced force-induced births in the prequels.
The stupid thing about this show is, all it is doing is copying Lucas shit. All Star Wars does, is copy Star Wars. The prequels copied the OT, The sequels copied the OT. They all take from the EU or old concept art when it suits them.
Disney or Lucas, same shit.
when I saw the prequels Star Wars died for me
This, the bad cgi blue screen took me out of it completely, permanently
people really forget how hated george was just before the disney buy out. how everyone was praising disney because "we'll finally get good movies again and not this animated bullshit" to todays complete 180.
>to todays complete 180.
it's because in hindsight, the issue with Lucas and the prequels was that the ideas he had were half-baked or poorly implemented, or just dumb. but, at least they were 'original' (insofar that they didn't just completely ape off of star wars property that came before)
And more importantly, Lucas had some kind of "vision" for his movies, something that tied everything together and made it all cohesive.
nothing about disney wars has that, there is no vision beyond just making a bunch of shit, seeing what sticks, and milking this franchise for every last drop of blood it has
>they didn't just completely ape off of star wars property that came before
Please anon... Boba Fett was super popular because his few bad ass lines left a lot to the imagination. Lucas decided to kill him off on a whim (just throw him in the pit, is something he is quoted as saying). Then the prequels randomly pulled in Jango Fett as if to try and win back some fans with, look we know you liked Boba Fett.
>cohesive
Lucas' concepts changed all the time, there was no plan set in stone, and that is fine because most stories are like that. There is plenty of stuff that is far from cohesive.
but for every boba/jango fett in the prequels, there was the clones, the droids, the idea and concepts of both the sith and jedi orders, midichlorians, etc.
like i said, not all of it was good, most of it was half-baked or badly implemented, but they were new(ish) ideas, or ideas from the OT that were greatly expanded upon.
>Lucas' concepts changed all the time, there was no plan set in stone, and that is fine because most stories are like that. There is plenty of stuff that is far from cohesive.
the overall vision that the prequels had was the rise and fall of a hero, before the OT took it from there and became a redemptive story. In fact, the PT was more cohesive than the OT because the OT was far from set in stone, the PT had time to be planned out by lucas
Even RotS was changed drastically with reshoots, and you can still see the seams in the finished movie.
>the overall vision that the prequels had was the rise and fall of a hero, before the OT took it from there and became a redemptive story. In fact, the PT was more cohesive than the OT because the OT was far from set in stone, the PT had time to be planned out by lucas
This is such weird praise because you are boiling the story down to its roots and acting like "well that is praise". I get all the prequel arguments come down to "ideas good, execution bad" but when you strip it down that far to argue a point you're really just talking bare bones.
>Lucas introduced witches in the EU and TCW.
No, he didn't.
Lucas massively worked on TCW and a lot of the premises.
said Leia was the main character in the original and championed women.
I mean, yeah, she was. He's right.
introduced Jedi snatching children in the prequels and made them boring.
Jedi never snatched children in the prequels and they were not any less boring than Yoda and Obi-Wan in the Originals.
introduced witches in the EU and TCW.
Nightsisters were not a bunch of black lesbians, who needed no men to procreate, and who were, apparently, persecuted, ugh, because... le power? One is not like the other. Also, Nightsisters were sexy and mystical, and not just a bunch of ugly dykes.
introduced force-induced births in the prequels.
Yeah, Anakin's birth was the will of the Force. The concept of a hero being born without a father is mythological and suggests that the hero is touched by God. Ackolyte let some random black lesbians do that, thus trivializing Anakin.
The lesbian space witches getting other lesbians pregnant with the force.
Are there any lesbian makeout scenes? This is important
Disney Wars has all been wrong, it only appeals to 50 years old man children who can't just move on and cry when they see a lightsaber turn on.
Does anyone else just find watching star wars fans implode entertaining? Like seeing homosexuals screech about every new thing because of their emotional investment in a literal product that changes all the time and has done since the inception of it. The most commercial consumerist movies series on the planet. Watching them all try and out compete each other in who is most angry.
how hard it is to just adapt one of the good books or comics of old EU? Just do a fricking show on Dark Times, it has Jedi, it has fricking strong woman, it has everything. Or the KOTOR comics. But I am even super glad now that they nuked the old EU. Imagine them trying to adapt anything.
WTF how is this even possible a couple of guys in this thread can make a better show storyline than Disney
The old stories are problematic that is why Disney said all the books are non-canon.
Even if they shot for shot remade some old EU or comics, people would still complain. In fact a bunch of the disney stuff has had influence from old underworld scripts, eu with names changed or old concept art. The problem isn't the ideas... the problem is the lack of connective humanity. The prequels too suffered a lot with not feeling like a human story. Leia and Han's romance had more to it than say, Padme and Anakin. If you can't connect people to characters or have something to say about them then why bother? Nothing about Osha or Mae really endears them to me. Sol is about the only person people are claiming they like. Mark Hamill wasn't the greatest actor in ANH, but I gave a lot more of a frick about his story.
Why is the asiaticy Jedi handing over a lightsaber to a child?
he turned the safety on idiot
Wookie Jedi can't speak Galactic Basic?
>Why is the asiaticy Jedi handing over a lightsaber to a child?
Because foreshadowing is now simply stating what a character is going to become.
This entire exchange, I imagine even with the uploader's edits removed, is incredibly artificial. If people are that tense, and with their children present, they shouldn't be parlaying calmly.
Ultimately this just feels like the prequels to me
this was a banger of an episode. you all are missing out
>this was a banger of an episode. you all are missing out
I bet you think it was Wizard, don't you?
Watching moronic e-celebs for le epic may-may screencaps to post on 4chinz is worse than watching this disney slop. I have seen you shilling in Andor threads, too. You are honestly mentally ill.
>You are honestly mentally ill.
just go leave you fricking b***h
You are still talking about it, so nothing. Disney won again.
I think I'm done being liberal. It's exhausting trying to defend Disney and Biden in 2024. I just want good movies and presidents again.
I think deep down Lucas knew that Star Wars' time was up and he wanted to chuck it before it got bad. He wrote his prequels, had a prequel show and a whole expanded universe of shit. I think to him the story was over and the people shitting on him for the prequels was just another extra reason for him to dump it. Lucas made out like a fricking bandit too. I'm curious if Disney has even come close to recouping the moronic amount of money spent on purchasing the franchise. George is laughing at them all the way from Skywalker ranch as he sips the finest champagne and fricks hot black chicks.
Disney owns Skywalker ranch. It is empty now. No one lives or works there.
Then he's doing the same thing from chocolate women island
So...
it's the asshurt poltards and some rando literal-who's crying over a tv show of some kind?
It's like there is nothing but bots, morons and literal-who's in here needing those viewcounts.
So, the Jedi Sol tells the girl that he was taken to the Jedi Temple when he was younger than her.
BUT HE STILL HAS A HEAVY, THICK KOREAN ACCENT DESPITE BEING RAISED BY REGULAR ASS JEDI SINCE 4 YEARS OLD KEK
I remember when Mandalorian season 1 was coming out and people were thinking SW was fixed just because you had some single episode stories like "Mando defends a village". The bar is so low that "hero saves a village" or "prison break episode" etc etc was seen as great. Then that show shit the bed.
You all do realize that without the black women no one would be talking about this right? I say these people are geniuses.
From what I've seen of the show it looks genuinely bad but the criticism I hear is
>"strong diverse female does X, then strong diverse female did Y"
>"they said it was the gayest star wars can you believe it"
As if that's an objective criticism. I get it, you don't like gay black people in your TV show because you're a chud. I'm a chud too, I don't tune in to watch slop I don't think I would enjoy. That's not what makes something good or bad. Moonlight is about gay black people and is kino.
If you're going to critique it, critique it for being bad not for broader culture war shit. The clown behavior and culture war issue was already settled for Disney when they gave a lesbian director with no good projects under her belt $200 million dollars to produce 1 season of a TV show whose main fanbase are socially maladjusted middle aged men.
It was diverse and gay on purpose, whether or not it's good is an entirely separate question.
>le i'm just like you bu-
Shut the Frick Up.
I'm further to the right than you are
I'm sick of surface level critiques. Yeah you don't like israelites shoving gay people and blacks in everything, we get it. That's the most normie opinion possible now.
>I'm further to the right than you are
wtf i love wokeslop now
Frick off back to Reddít then if you want to actually critique this slop
>That's the most normie opinion possible now
I agree, normal people would never consider watching this drivel. So piss off
Making something worse than TLJ and RoS is actually impressive
they found a way
the worst fail theyve done I think, is not giving us what we missed in the prequels. A show about flashbacks of de aged Obi and Anakin going on adventures and actually becoming friends. They would have retroactively fixed everything but no. Of course they didnt.
>elon literally kekking lmao at their life
What's he replying to?
if I was running Disney if buy Spaceballs and make an ultra woke show about it just to push Elon over the edge to suicide
Elon buying Disney and doing nothing with it would be pretty funny
If only Elon could buy Disney but even he isn't rich enough to buy them out.
Twitter was $44 billion, Star Wars was like barely $4 billion. Lucasfilm is chump change.
I wouldn't take Lucasfilm for free if it also meant having to work around NuWars and the lesbo Karen regime. That money pit has no bottom
Just fire all of them
what did you guys think of the part when the wookie smelled the children and then called them out of hiding
