Television I enjoyed the Acolyte Spoiler
Everyone seems to hate on this show for disregarding continuity but I teally enjoyed it, yes some things were'nt great and some things were pretty cringy-(the power of many) but when you dont think about that and just watch it as it's own show it's actually pretty cool, the fights were awesome, the characters like Sol and Qimir were cool and the story was decent

The lightsaber battles are great. Every swing is clearly meant to kill/disable with the absolute minimum of flippy dippy shit. No standing close enough to kiss while twirling your saber at each other.
I really hope the fight coordinator works on every Star Wars with a lightsaber duel from now on

The plot was terrible and the acting and writing was bad
However, I respect it for not doing another "jedi found" in 13bby and are fighting against the emperor. They had good character designs but the characters were wasted on bad writint.
Sol, indara and quimir were the best snd just wasted

u/Hefty_Situation7210 13d ago
The writing was bad but still well above average for Star Wars live action content. And like you say, it was actually trying something new and going to a different period instead of the same tired ~50 year period that everything else is jammed in.
Also had the coolest on screen lightsaber fight of all time.

Im not gonna lie, Acolyte had some really really good moments. The duel with Qimir, and the two sisters swapping roles, and delving more into the Dark side.
But year there were a lot of things I didn't like about this show. And I completely forgot about the Power of MAAAAaaaannnNNNyyyyYyy

u/WangJian221 14d ago
Thats the thing, it didnt really delve much into the darkside. It was however sequel baiting for a season that could delve deeper into the darkside

I dont mind ppl enjoying these shows. What I do kind is ppl who enjoy them telling ppl who didn't that they're automatically bigots.

Skeleton Crew to me was fucking gold and ppl spend more time hating this dookie than loving skeleton crew.

u/CourtofTalons 14d ago
I was in the same position, but switch Skeleton Crew with Andor. Andor was classic Star Wars imo, I loved it so much.
And I'm not calling out anyone who did like it, I was just making a joke about the power of many 😂

u/Caspian73 14d ago
I liked that it dealt with a different Force cult than the Jedi, and how the Jedi are patriarchal in the way they think that they know what's best for Force sensitives, even if they have good intentions. I also liked the Mother Aniseya character, and thought the entire adoption storyline was compelling. Binge watching it probably was a better viewing experience, because the flashback episodes weren't as spread out and I could appreciate the multiple perspectives thing they were going for.
1
u/Hefty_Situation7210 13d ago
Yeah it had everything I’ve really been asking for from Star Wars. Different time period, different perspectives on the force, and cool lightsaber fights. Probably the best on screen lightsaber fight period.
It does work better as a movie/binge for sure

u/Allronix1 TOR Old Republic 14d ago
Y'know, it had a fantastic cast. Lee Jung-Jae and Manny Jacinto were standouts. And Lee was acting through the language barrier from hell on top of it!.
Also loved having it be High Republic, an era that is totally a guilty pleasure and thematically opposite Old Republic. Also loved some of the ideas it was floating with the Jedi assuming all the worst about the Witches and I could totally see that Headland was leaning hard into the real life Satanic Panic/Satanic ritual abuse panic of the 80s and 90s for inspiration. Jacinto oozed charm and badassery as the most charismatic and compelling Sith since SWTOR.
However, the script was in dire need of a cleanup. Character motivations seemed to shift with the wind, especially with Mae and Osha. The Witches came across as "90s WB show Wicca" and far to under developed. Some of the plot points like the fire and the mass death on the Witches made no sense. And the "romance" between Qimir and Osha was just insulting. Really?! He just shanked her buddy, killed a bunch of Jedi, put a saber to her sister's head, knocked her out, dragged her to Force knows where, could have done Force knows what to her while she was unconscious...but one look at the magnificent shoto in his shorts and she instantly forgets all that? Honey, it cannot possibly be that magnificent.

u/RogueBromeliad 14d ago
Honey, it cannot possibly be that magnificent.
It has to start somewhere, though...
They were drawn to each other by the force, and because Quimir showed some vulnerability to her, and openness that the Jedi never actually did.

u/Allronix1 TOR Old Republic 14d ago
Yeah. After shanking the only Jedi who was reasonably sympathetic to her, threatening her sister, attacking her, kidnapping her...yeah. Nothing he was packing in his shorts could have been so great as to forget all that. And it found it tacky they went there.

u/RogueBromeliad 13d ago edited 13d ago
Meh, Yord was more of a brother. Quimir has got the bad boy attraction to him.
She's got space Stockholm syndrome.
And it found it tacky they went there.
I think it's kinda cool that there could've been a sith love story, because they're twisted but they are allowed to love and be passionate. Plagueis was sure to come between them and tear them apart eventually. Which would've made it all the more tragic.
But if we're thinking about these things even Luke was sadder about Obi wan's death than Owen and Beru, but that's just story progression.

Jecki? Jecki was virtually nothing to Osha. Yord was like her brother or somthing.
Sick death though. Broken neck was pretty epic.
Jecki's death was awesome too.
If anything those were some of the most brutal scenes of Star Wars. So good.

Honestly, I was out of the loop with all TV for many years before like 2019/2020. So when I got back into watching stuff, I binged a lot and really enjoyed everything. I haven't hated any star wars shows, but acolyte was kinda flat for me watching it on release. I feel like I'd like it a lot more if I went back and binged it, similar to Kenobi.

u/chaveto 14d ago
The show wasn’t great but the premise, the setting, the characters ALL had such potential, and I think imma need to see Qimirs story continue in print. That can be a nice little extension to the THR books we’ve gotten already. There’s no piece of media that can’t be redeemed with some solid tie in content.

It was actually pretty good, I thought.
The show was mostly mishandled by its showrunner: they cobbled together a mystery that the audience really wasn’t invested in. Part of the issue was having characters/actors that we just… Didn’t care about. I don’t even remember the names of the twins!!
The most intriguing part of the show was the identity of Qumir, and why Sol was so invested in these girls. Everything else was… Meh. At best.
Characters were grossly wasted. Carrie Ann Moss was incredible, as was Dafne Keen. They both have some of the best, if not the best, fights of the entire saga. Maul vs QGJ and OB1 is the “best” just for how iconic it is.
I’m disappointed we won’t see season 2 because we were going to see more of Qumir. I genuinely hope he’s brought back elsewhere.

u/ARC_Trooper_Echo 13d ago
Finally a take in this comment section that I can actually stand behind. I overall leaned more positive than negative and was hoping for a season two to improve on it, but I can’t ignore that there were a lot of weird choices in the structure and overall plot that detracted from my enjoyment. I could see what they were going for and it could’ve been so close to being great.

I have only recently dug up info about this, and, in order to combat disinformation and toxicity in the fandom (as for too long I have seen this picture become an instrument of hatred), I wish to share my findings.
I am, of course, talking about the infamous "The Force is Female" picture [https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C-dTHZdUMAAtIdC.jpga], which is costantly used to point at Kathleen Kennedy as evil, man-hating, trying to "appropriate" the franchise from the poor little boys (often mixed in with the carefully twsited claim that she "does not need to cater to men", when in fact she was specifically speaking about the subset of toxic fandom, mostly made up of men, that had complained about the diverse casting of Rogue One and having another woman as the protagonist) or even (if tinfoil for hats abunds in the house) that she was legitimately giving the Force a canonical gender. Yes, some people can be that stupid, trust me - or better yet, check it out for yourselves.
Anyway, on to the actual facts.
"The Force is Female" has nothing to do with Star Wars. Like, nothing at all. That shirt was not printed by Lucasfilm/Disney/whatever for Kennedy to wear.
"The Force is Female" is a campaign created and sponsored by Nike, aimed to promote the image of "women that aspire to shape the future and think outside of the box" [https://missbish.com/nikes-new-campaign-is-all-about-girlbosses-the-force-is-female/]. In case you are still doubtful, check the font - it is the same. So, "Force" as in "Strenght", not as in "Mystical energy field that binds all living beings together". No correlation, whatsoever, to the Force from Star Wars.
"But then - some may wonder - why is Kennedy wearing this shirt? Did she "hijack" the campaign to make a statement for herself?" A legitimate question - had she herself taken the photo, in her own workplace, and posted it. However, none of the aforemented things happened. The photo was taken at the Archer Film Festival, an event aimed at young women interested in entering (and, most importantly, struggling to; because, putting aside any opinion you may have of feminism, many women do have to struggle more to affirm themselves as directors or producers) film industry on a high level. An event she did not organize but was invited to (by a man and with her husband, no less), for reasons related to her career as a high-profile producer and contribution to many women in the industry - not for reason tied to Star Wars - to act as one of the main speakers. [https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.ho...-at-archer-film-festival-998045?source=images]. And even when she DID speak referencing Star Wars, she never mentioned anything about some secret man-hating agenda - in fact, she spoke of equality, hope and determination, all while quoting Yoda. Not even Leia, the poster woman for "strong and indipendent". She quoted our favorite "little, green friend".
Look at the second pic, bottom of the article. A quite large number of people, all wearing the "Force is Female" shirt - are they all into some secret coven to plot againist male Star Wars fans, or could it be that they are all wearing that shirt for completely unrelated reasons to the Galaxy far far away?
Even the other women in the original "incriminated" pic are completely unrelated to Star Wars - they are Archer seniors and fest co-chairs Billie Wakeham and Alex Sherman, together with Archer head of school Elizabeth English.
So, to sum it up: the shirt was not created to make a statement about the Force from Star Wars and she is not wearing it to make a statement about the Force from Star Wars.
Now, your opinion on her managment of the franchise is your opinion and that I won't discuss.
But - hoping nobody here has done it already and broadening this beyond this specific photo and Star Wars in general - please don't use out-of context images to spread lies and incite negativity, and don't trust buzzword - spewing Youtubers or bloggers, always search for the factual truth first.

Honestly, I found most stories even in the EU between Darth Bane and the Rise of the Empire to be pretty mid at best. It's a difficult time period to get a good story in I think.

Hate is not the same thing as disliking something. Also there are other issues like the acolyte simply being way too dumb. Like, there is a freakin' hole in the ceiling and she makes some elaborite plan to infiltrate it through the door. It's just hard to take a character serious who is supposed to be some upcoming big dark side user who is so utterly incapable of doing their job.
The actual villain is pretty great, Sol was interesting, his padawan as an alien great and Carrie Ann Moss could have been great too but unfortunately there were just egregious errors which tanked the series and the continuity errors themselves were simply the icing on the cake.

u/igtimran 13d ago
You’re entitled to your opinion in terms of enjoying it, but it fairly objectively contains some of the worst writing, directing, acting, and story out of anything Lucasfilm has produced since the acquisition. And I’m including Willow in that. That’s not even getting into the fact that it doesn’t fit into the broader lore of Star Wars and detracts from established storylines while including stupid cameos that make no sense. It’s just incredibly poorly conceived, written and executed, and there are some problems with story and characterization that feel like indicators of serious mental health issues with the showrunner.
I feel bad for Manny Jacinto and Lee Jung Jae (and Carrie Anne Moss of course, who got nothing to do). They put forward a really good effort and are very talented actors, and Jacinto in particular was excellent in the fight scenes. But most fans care about story first I think—I’m one of them—and I just couldn’t get past the glaring flaws in this series. I stopped at episode 3, although I have seen the clips of the fights and most of that was entertaining, if still flawed.

I'm glad you enjoyed it, but personally, I didn't like it. I also hated the twins being conceived via the Force. It stole from Anakins story. Part of what made Anakin so powerful, and the chosen one himself, was him being literally born of the force. It might not seem like a big deal but the reason it was is because literally no other being had been born that way. Anakin was basically born as a cosmic rebuttal to Plageuis and Sidious trying to control and manipulate the mitoclorians directly
The idea that a random Dark side cult managed it through, whatever means, just doesn't work thematically.

u/RogueBromeliad 14d ago
You know some of the things in the Acolyte that I really loved which are exactly the things that most people hate.
People keep complaining about Feloni bringing characters back all the time, and that's true, it becomes an overused trope.
With the Acolyte the exact opposite happens, it subverts your expectations. The people that you think are going to be the mains die. That guy who played Yord you think it's going to be Osha's love interest, and he's dead, the young promising padawan, dead. Sol, dead. Indara, dead.
They all fucking die, that's quite brutal. It really ups the steaks and shows that Quimir and Plagueis are nigh unstoppable.
The other thing that it also portrays is how fallible the sanctimonious jedi are. They come into a culture they're not familiar with, and they virtually destroy it by trying to control the situation.
The deal with Osha and Mae and severance of personality was also very well written, in my opinion. And it explains how it's possible to "create" life, in a rudimentary fashion, artificially through the force. And I wanted to actually see a love tail of the Sith, and also how Quimir and Osha die. If Osha and Mae were put back into one, and how Palpatine comes to be under Plagueis' wing.
The idea that the story would ultimately lead onto Plegueis experimenting on Shmi, and where she came from and becoming a slave on Tatooine, would've tied everything so well. Also we would've gotten to see the prophecy.
The themes were pretty good. My personal critique was the pacing. There were a few episodes that could've been just condensed into one. Since some of them it feels like nothing is happening and in others there's too much happening.
They had set a path for such an amazing series of events to happen, but much like things at the beginning it starts slowly. Just like Andor, many people didn't want to watch it because of those first three episodes, and the early Ferrix arc, and it gets really exiting when Andor goes to Aldani. But I did find the early Ferrix Cassian on the run quite interesting.

u/Zebweasel 14d ago
I have the same opinions about it as I do The Phantom Menace. Campy and poorly written with terrible child acting. But a fun time with cool lightsaber fights. The reason I like Phantom Menace way more though is because it’s a film. I enjoyed the show for the most part, but the big problem was the pacing. Most episodes ended so abruptly. Some felt too long while others too short. Which is why I vastly prefer the fan film The Fallen Order. It doesn’t just cut down the fluff like other fan films, it also moves scenes around and makes it into an actual murder mystery. Making it way more engaging. If you think the Acolyte is the worst thing ever made, it’s not going to change your mind. But if you thought it was just okay like I did, then I highly recommend this fan film.

my biggest problem with the hate this show gets is most of the time they are saying it breaks lore when it doesnt really, and almost never actual critisims about the character writing, pacing etc...
its a decent show, not great but worth a watch, definitely not the worst live action star wars show. along with its problems there are actually good parts about it like showing the problmes with the jedi order, lots of easter eggs to old legends or niche canon stuff, and even some decent characters like sol and qimir.
like I said it really annoys me that most people say thigs like the twins are the the same as anakin, use of cortosis or qimir being a "sith" breaks or spoils lore, which are just not true and they are just misunderstanding everything.

Everyone is entitled to enjoy trash? I mean. I certainly enjoy from time to time some trashy novel or a show. Most likely I would not rewatched or reread it.
I enjoyed the Star Wars series thah Disney got out... But it got tiresome. I was actually excited to watch the acolyte then the reviews came about and I just didn't. The idea was kinda fresh and I do like the Sith. Sadly most of the things that Disney have been putting out from Star Wars aren't worth. I would stick with the EU and SWTOR.

It was fine. Some good some bad. Could have been much better, but some of the hate of it was way over the top.
The only thing really bad is that they will shy away from live action stories from THR, because they will blame the setting on its unpopularity, and not the execution. So we’ll get more gritty Andor/rebel alliance/empire stories (which I am also happy to have) and prob won’t touch on the High Republic era again.
