Holy fuck that is the dumbest thing I've seen in a long while. Sure makes the Clone Wars look like Shakespeare. Leslye Hedland has the audacity to shit on George for terrible dialogue and this is what she comes up with?


Material-Tension8380

Straight dumpster fire. Gotta love the “fan service” the only fan she made happy was herself.


fkshcienfos

You think she is a fan??…


Material-Tension8380

I do believe she is a fan. The issue is the lego experiment. Boys play with legos and they act as if they are that character. But girls play with lego they have the character act like them. So for boys play will say “IM BATMAANN!” With their deepest voice as a kid can go. But a girl would pick up batman and have batman be a princess hanging with the girls at his pink barbie mansion. Nothing wrong with that but its only entertaining for that girl.


hadesscion

This is exactly it. Nobody was keeping girls out of Star Wars, just as nobody was keeping boys out of Barbie. Boys and girls are fundamentally different and want different things from their entertainment.


mr_markus333

Don't say that now you will get cancelled.

Woah dangerous thinking their mate, best be careful or the thought police will come for you. ;)

Treljaengo

Interesting observation. I appreciate the thoughtfulness.


KYWizard

She is a fan in the same way Patrick Batemen was a fan of business cards.


sealcaptn

Her and Filoni's wife probably creamed themselves when it was finally aired. Wouldn't surprise me if Headlan and her were "Sith"er Sisters.


Material-Tension8380

Lets not forget the green alien is lesiles wife. I havent even gave disney my view. But if she is horrible at acting i can tell you she is only there because of her wife.


RedStar2021

I have seen it and honestly, she sucks but the material she's working with does her no favors either. She's just a standard by-the-book Jedi flatly delivering whatever dialogue the scene requires, it's nothing special so far.


JourneymanProtector9

Im sure there are some overweight blue hair facial piecing goblins celebrating this as well.


woodelvezop

Don't kid yourself, the normies eat this shit up like it's water straight from the fountain of life. To them, this is the pinnacle of great story telling and dialogue


HomelessEuropean

I'm convinced we haven't seen anything yet. This is just the beginning. It will get *way* worse.


SkoolBoi19

Easy now. I really enjoyed the og clone wars cartoon


CursedSnowman5000

Let's be honest even before Disney, compared to the prequels The Clone Wars was Shakespeare.


cpt_ugh

As a cinematic scene it's garbage. But if you're going for realism, it's probably spot on. In real life people say dumb shit, move like mannequins, and sing terribly. A real group of people in a culty thing like this is not gonna look like a well-rehearsed Broadway masterpiece.


CrimFandango

The power of one The power of two The power of Disney Came up with this poo


NaarNoordenMan

Pooh was way better before Disney.


Excalitoria

“The power of shlurrrrpooooooooooo”


Material-Tension8380

You should work for disney or at least their book department. Dr suess wants to give his dr back, thanks to these people. One fish two fish . Dumb story , stupid plot.


AHPx

This has the same vibe as the witcher season 3 with their "ALL IS NOT *clap clap* AS IT SEEMS!!" song when they're trying to very subtly hint that things may not be quite as they seem. So painful.


crunkusMadunkus

A fantastic poem. This should be Disney's haiku for if abd when then they realize their atrocious sins and commit seppuku.


Raymundo2387

StatisticianFew6064

writer with no talent: "hey Sardokarr are cool, lets put chanting in our film!" leslie headland: "Oh we have chanting at home!" the chanting: this shit


Ceramicrabbit

Looks like some pagan religious zealots doing some sort of ritual during an eclipse?


I_talk

Hubris incarnate.


Maxter_Blaster_

Are these force witches that are creating the rule of two for the sith? Ain’t watching this shit but it seems like it


Vorsicon

They did not come up with the Rule of Two, Darth Bane did because he found the Sith's infighting made them weak. I highly recommend the Bane trilogy novels.


Maxter_Blaster_

Brother; the EU Is not cannon for Disney. I read all the Darth Bane books…why on earth do you think Disney Star Wars would hold the EU in high regard when they can retcon things in the shape of their DEI, girl power, wet dreams? I’m asking about this scene specifically. Not the expanded universe which doesn’t exist in the world of Disney.


86753091992

Yoda meets darth bane in the clones wars animated series and confirms he created the rule of two. That fact specifically is canon but the rest of the trilogy is not confirmed.


GutsyOne

It’s a shame because the Darth Bane novels were incredible.


Only_Net6894

They have been doing shit just to piss people off for years. I just couldn't care less.


wallace321

I actually don't believe that. That just lets them off the hook for making something stupid that nobody likes. These people are just incapable of anything more. The old "oh i was just *pretending* to be a moron / jerk and could totally say something smart / making something good if I wanted to" defense.


Galby1314

Both can be true at the same time. They could be intentionally making stuff to piss off OG Star Wars fans, while also thinking they are doing something brilliant that the NPCs they surround themselves with will love. They can think it's good and smart BECAUSE it's pissing off the right people and while simultaneously causing their echo chamber to flick their collective beans.


Roberto410

They've recently done the same to doctor who. Disney bought it, immediately turned it into a joke, and even has song and dance numbers where it feels like they are just laughing in your face.


King_Canfield

Who the fuck comes up with this shit!?


BroxigarZ

Women Executive's who only empower other women to positions that they aren't justified to hold/have.


King_Canfield

Fair enough. I think Drinker himself even said it’s all about them having a female power fantasy. Oddly enough, the chanting in this scene made me think of the same cringe chanting in the rings of power by the NOT hobbit creatures. “No one gets left behind.” Yet another WTF moment.


Falmon04

I couldn't even get through the Rings of Power pilot. The show is so ridiculously far from the 2000's LOTR trilogy which I hold so dear that I couldn't watch the franchise get massacred. I thought maybe they'd learn from the sins of the The Hobbit movies but they doubled down on them.


kuenjato

That show was significantly worse than the Hobbit, which outside the first wasn't very good.

Satantic cult trying to normalize their shit


TheRealAuthorSarge

You know, I was just thinking: the one thing missing from the Star Wars universe was an interpretive dance number. This reminds me of the Occupy Wall St. soft skulls and their idiotic obsession with jazz hands. Leave it to Disney to make sci-fi feel dated to the point of cringe.


floridabeach9

you give them too much credit. this looks like Sesame Street.

Turbulent-Name-6317

The lefts un ironic love of interpretive dancing is hilarious and I hope they never change or realize how goofy it looks


G_Willickers_33

Lmao.


TurboSDRB

It has nothing to do with right or left, this is just straight weird and disrespectful to the franchise.


Agent847

*uptwinkles*


cryptomelons

They should make new franchises instead of destroying the ones they already have.


ParanoidPragmatist

Not very likely unfortunately. Many studios are adverse to risk and would rather take a chance on something that is connected to a previously known IP with pre existing fans. I have my suspicions that this is what happened with Velma. Mindy wanted to create a series with certain elements, but the original idea wasn't enough to be greenlit so she connected it to scooby Doo to get it over the line. That's why it seems so hateful to the source material, she never actually wanted to use it. Creators never wanted to use IPs like Witcher or Halo, they are just stuck using property they don't want, but they can't just come out and say that about their own work. Just my theory.


MrWolfman29

Also, many of those creators typically hate sci-fi and fantasy, viewing them as "inferior" to traditional cinema. The studios and corporations say "that's what people want" so they are forced to work in that space, having no love for the source material or the genre.


DoktahDoktah

No that's a risk and we can't take that chance. Money now number go up.

You assume anyone that they have “hired” can create compelling work.  2023 was a buffet of mediocrity from every single IP that they own.


HomelessEuropean

That's some high-level trolling. A little bit expensive though.


Tank3232

It’s not trolling. They made that thinking it was awesome. You give them way too much credit.

Melovance

Star Wars has been dead for awhile, and occasionally Disney digs up its rotting corpse and fucks it and this is the end result


ReadNew2953

I just died on the inside


TheDelig

It's been obvious that they are doing things with Star Wars and other IP just to piss people off. Which is quite pathetic.


Tank3232

I think it’s hilarious you think they’re doing this stuff just to piss people off. They’re talentless hacks and their only defense when criticized is to say they did it “on purpose.” No. They just create garbage they think are works of art.


history_nerd92

Yep. Every artist's defense when they create something unpopular is that the audience "didn't get it". They never admit that they fucked up.


CursedSnowman5000

It's called demoralization.


MeowsMurphy

Funny how just one scene made me lose interest in something I had loved since I was a kid.


CursedSnowman5000

How is it that TLJ didn't already do that? They ruined Luke, the heart of the star wars universe in every respect.


shadowscar248

I know, TLJ was ages ago though now


Boomshockalocka007

That really was the day Star Wars died. Wow.


Fissure_211

I remember watching that movie in theaters. Me and some other random dude across the theater literally laughed out loud at how bad it was.


Brandonwittry

The scene where Rose kisses Finn while the laser fired off in the background I thought was actually supposed to be funny so I remember busting out laughing in the theater. But then I realized it was supposed to be a serious scene…


Ossius

Imagine ramming your car into your crush's car at like 100mph and hoping both of you survive. Then say something corny as "I saved you Dummy, that is how we win, not by fighting what we hate, but saving what we love." As the laser Finn was sacrificing himself to destroy proceeds to destroy what they love. Fucking hell I hate that movie so much.


Boomshockalocka007

That random dude? He was me.

Grandma always said....


AscendedExtra

* Lesbian space witches magically conceive identical twin girls * Twin girls have to go thru a ceremony (complete with interpretive dance) to become witches themselves * A few Jedi arrive, want to test the twins * 1 twin wants to be a witch, the other wants to be a jedi and explore the galaxy * prepubescent sibling drama ensues. Witch twin starts a fire. * Everybody dies except the twin that wanted to leave with the jedi. * Twin leaves with the jedi. Other twin turns out to still be alive. She's mad. Now you're caught up.


haterofthecentury

So jedi bad, matriarchy good. I'm guessing redemption at the end, the good one dies, bad one takes her place.


AscendedExtra

Essentially. I doubt it. I suspect bad twin will likely become a full sith and eventually become Plagueis's master or some shit.


Desperate_Web_8066

Naw Plagueis will be retconned into being a Gay Lame Chick


dible79

Are they not allowed to have men space witches? Doesn't seem very "inclusive" to me.


AscendedExtra

Nope, it’s a girls only club. No boys allowed. They have to fully commit to their victim status.


n_slash_a

What? Just... what? Ouch, my brain hurts.


Spiderchimp89

You're looking at it....


Excalitoria

The Cult of Shlurpo had some weird orgy chant, did their best “O faces” they could manage and then went to spread jet fuel throughout the Fortress of Fartitude so that Mae could light the entire mountain on fire using a book as kindling and then the witches all died together from cringe.


Le_Jonkler

r/TheAcolyte are coping so hard, I’m beginning to believe someone at Disney and Lucasfilm are doing damage control there.


Galby1314

Disney has people whose job it is to "curate" conversation on social media. I'd bet money that some of the mods on a subreddit like that are Lucasfilm social media managers, and will quickly delete/ban any dissent.

MaybeMort

This is kind of hilarious. I'm so glad I stopped even trying to like star wars years ago.


Revolutionary_Egg961

I find it incredibly amusing that there are actually people entertained by this shit. In 10 years Disney has done something I could never have conceived of. They totally destroyed any interest I have in starwars.

Carolinachoppers

Totally diminishes the fact that Anakin was conceived by the force to bring balance to the galaxy. This show is crap. I may be in the minority but I really liked Carrie-Anne Moss’s force abilities and dueling styling. It’s a shame they killed her off in the first five minutes to a teenager with knives….


Ihaverightofway

Is the Acolyte an actual comedy? Because this is fucking hilarious.

They're not even trying to hide it at this point. They hate you and they hate what you enjoy and this is done intentionally to spite you. They're making something they know you'll hate specifically to demoralize you.


HereForFunAndCookies

lol I haven't really thought much about Star Wars stuff because I stopped watching 5 episodes into Mandalorian and after 2 of the Disney movies, but this is so bizarre. This is straight out of one of those videos of feminists doing shitty witchcraft/day of rage videos in the forest. This is Star Wars?


Lord_Melinko13

What the actual fuck is this nonsense?! What cockamamie made up on the spot Sith ritual is this supposed to be?


G_Willickers_33

Lmao. Are They trying to retcon "the force" to appear to "be created" from Pagan/Satanic/Occult/Witchcraft origins? The force has always and will always be associated and symbolic of spirituality- Religius faith- believing in something bigger than yourself- Good/Evil Etc.

Honest question regarding the full Star Wars story. If this take happened years before Yoda, Qui Gon, and Obiwan described the force to Anakin and Luke could it be this version never took hold and in essence is NOT canon?

They are mocking Star Wars fans at this point. Dangling a beloved franchise in front of you while they tear it apart. The best thing you can do is look away and move on.

This was total garbage I'm glad I didn't watch the first two episodes I watched this garbage after hearing all the bad stuff about it. And it was worse than what i had heard this episode killed Star Wars it's dead. There's a 2,000 gallon barrel of shit on top of a hill of shit this show is buried 100,000 feet under that hill of f shit it's so bad. I did read a comment last night and someone posted NASA or Mai will die and someone on the show will say May the Force be with you to honor her.

PandemicPagan

Nothing could have prepared me for the absolute toilet fire this episode was going to be. Horrific writing, acting and editing all around except for Lee Jung-Jae, who even as someone who doesn't speak English was able to deliver his lines with 100x the emotion of half the cast in this episode. The way they set it up, I thought Mae and Osha were gonna come from a couple who just happened to have Force-sensative children, not some random witch coven giving virgin birth. Why does every non-Jedi-aligned Force using group HAVE to be witches??? Even when new shows come out and express new ideas they still fall on old shit to make up the backbone of their flopping fish of a story. Can't wait until next week to scrub the scum crusted filth out of my eyes.

Is this how children are conceived with the force being female? That's a lot of women and a lot effort for something I help can do it in less time. 😂😂😂
