WTF is this sh*t they succeeded to make starwars a s*it show
I swear this show just leaves me with utter disappointment and shock on my face. idk why I choose to suffer though it
Disney have yet again slopped out another 30 minutes of nothing much happening, for a budget of $1million per minute.
Finally we get a wookie Jedi in live action and they do nothing with the character but have them stand around. wtf!! There better be more flashbacks with this character. What utter dissapointment
Poison guy Jason Mendonsa totally gave it way he is smilo ren with all those on nose scene where he acts like "I am definitely not your master under desguise watching you to see if you are gonna follow my crazy orders". And of course Mae has a sudden change of character right in front of him because she read on the script that this was the best moment to generate some "muh sister" thug on the heartstrings drama. And of course he went ahead and murdered the Wookie himself off screen to prevent the show from spending additional one million dollars to make a Wookie fight like a Jedi, frame Mae so she keeps the plot from a dead stop and enters the scene to provide both a cliffhanger and a trailer scene.
Smilo Ren is trying to carry this show using no weapons.
Another absolute garbage episode. What a waste of time.

NGL I was enjoying this show after the first two episodes and it looked like it was going to be a cool new story in the Star Wars universe but this episode killed a lot of my expectations. It was BAD bad.
Pros:
+Set/costume design
Cons
- Being a force baby is Anakin's thing, it's one of the reasons why he is an anomaly that the jedi have no idea how to deal with, copying this plot point doesn't make Acolyte better. It shows how the writers don't understand the world that they're writing about
-It's a background episode that should act as a foundation for why these two sisters are walking opposing paths but it doesn't give any explanation or interesting insight of this weird witch bullshit, it doesn't show us why either would choose the path they did, it doesn't give us anything to explain why the last Jedi poisoned himself willingly, and it doesn't give us a more full understanding of the story they began telling. All it does is show two feuding little girls making weird, unprovoked decisions that make no sense.
------ the fire part is laughably idiotic and contrived, I assume there's more to why the entire fucking village dies after burning a book in a room made of rock that will come later but even if it is retroactively explained it's at best wasted time
-Nothing remotely interesting happens in what should be a cornerstone episode for the series
- I know the two little girls are just kids but even ignoring them, the acting was awful. Unforgivably bad. Blacklist all involved bad.
This episode just killed all momentum the show had, they actually should have just scrapped this and went on without explaining exactly how they got separated
That’s it. I stopped halfway through. Not going to waste my time on it anymore. The writing is amazingly terrible. Story is uninspired. Acting is meh. The costumes look like low end child fan creations.
Did I really just watched a FILLER episode in 2024 as third episode of show with 180M budget?
Whoever came up with this idea to expand flashback which said everything necessary in first episode into whole 40 minutes should go and write podcast scrip instead of science fiction.
Little girl just ended whole civilization of force sensitive witches by one tiped over candle.
The point of this whole show is to fulfill Leslie's fantasy of lesbians being able to impregnate lesbians without the need of disgusting men. That's why it's so full of plot holes and crazy stuff like campfires on the hull of ships in the vacuum of space being put down by spraying CO2 (which functions by depriving the fire from oxygen, which is absurd in space) and Jedi killing themselves by poison that go through force barriers after being meditating nonstop for years, never occurring to him the idea of suicide until the protagonist/villain suggests it, and assassins boasting about Jedi drawing lightsabers only to kill while the next scene they use it as flashlights, or assassins boasting about the only way to kill Jedi is by not using weapons, cause "lasers" and steel don't work, right after a Jedi being killed by a STEEL WEAPON, etc, etc, etc...
None of that matter to Leslie and are just distractions that only nerds care about, all she really cares for is her RPG campaign where lesbians can make babies without the help of men.
It all makes sense through this lens.
I gave it a 2 because Tommen held off on committing suicide.
Oh yay, yet another coven of "force witches" hell no, we can't have any original ideas!! first two episodes were ok, this one is just pure meh, and I suspect the story is headed downhill from here, sad was hoping for some cool high republic stuff, instead looks like we're getting the confused nonsense of Ahsoka again
That was hard to watch
Felt like watching some Space witches show on the syfy channel. Terrible..
This episode, in particular, has the weakest writing and dialogue so far. It's just bad in my opinion. Very, very bad.
How does this at all related to the high republic period, we see nothing apart from these witches and stuff, so boring, the chanting part was like some musical, so cringe. Also witches supposed to use magic, not force, this is all wrong.
Good job making Jedi look evil and witches sweet & peaceful, what the actual f? Jedi never took away children without parents consent. Also kids are already too old, why would even Jedi test them, they are not supposed to be eligible at this age, why even bother?
So it was the Jedi who raided the place and burned it to the ground to kidnap the kids hence the guilt is it? What the f? Osha is super traumatized, conflicted, old, and too attached, 10 times worse than Anakin, why go this much effort for those boring twins? ZERO sense
Wookiee Jedi was the only good thing in this whole episode.
CW caliber acting/writing. Stargate SG-1 caliber sets. Comic-con caliber make-up/costuming.
...and some of the dumbest Jedi ever...
I was totally hyped when I saw a new star wars serie was aired. But what a downer! I couldn't even finish the episode. It was that bad! The acting was excruciatingly bad! It felt more like I was watching a fanmade show! I thought the latest expendables movie was bad, but this was even worse!
Very underwhelming and disappointing pilot episode.
So disappointing. My expectations were already rock bottom. Bad acting, bad dialogue, predictable story, boring characters. Some of the costumes looked like comic con outfits. Couldn't even get the Neimoidian voices right. It genuinely felt like I was watching a Doctor Who episode at some points (and not a good one). Star Wars is officially dead and Disney killed it.
Damn it, I really liked Yabushige.
Basically you can fastforward the first 20 minutes. the story does not really make much sense anyway, other then meeting Maya who loses part of her leg. Then she's grown up suddenly. Add some more drama. Fisk takes her in and makes her into a bad lieutenant. Add some fist fighting and some more violence. Add a cameo / cross-over from one series. Then someone else makes a cameo and of course she believes him. Does something. Fast forward 5 months and she goes back home to her roots. Done.
Errrr..... ok.
Some episodes of Iron Fist made more sense. And no of course I dont mean that in a positive way.
I’m sorry what the heck was that?
Was this suppose to be the big masterpiece and return of marvel to the shows.
I’m the only one who was bored to death, completely dislike the girl and her character. The pilot was so incoherent, so messed up in story and I really don’t care what happens to her or want to know how she got there.
What a big disappointment. I’m not following the show, even for only 4 more episodes.
Terrible season finale. First 30 minutes could have been a less than five second flashback. What a flat, one-dimensional villan Angstrom Levi was, specially for the season finale. Even the cameos and the fan service were sufferable
Mark sure does love getting a black eye. They literally give him one in every fight.
I was really hoping we would have ran into cannibal mark eating other marks. Shame they didn’t animate that.
