*Demolition* *Man* *(1993)* The way the Jedis are portrayed in The Acolyte are similar to the cops in Demolition Man. They’re soft and stupid. In Demolition Man, Los Angeles became safe. Hardly any major crimes. Sex happens with VR headsets. You get a fine for cursing. That’s what’s happening in the High Republic Era. Jedis have become soft and complacent which made them inept when handling criminals like a Sith. People should check out Demolition Man, it’s Stallone’s funniest movie and one of Snipes’ funniest movies up there with White Men Can’t Jump (1992). Simon Phoenix vs. the cops kzitem.info/news/bejne/rYd_uHhrcJ6dpm0si=JxhuwJQgihxXEIKw Here’s The Acolyte’s Ep. 5’s stupid moment after stupid moment. - Jedis had several chances landing a fatal blow at Qimir but didn’t including Jecki aiming for the head as if Qimir is Thanos when she could’ve stabbed him through the back. Had to make the fight look more dramatic. Then another scene when Jecki saves Mae by jumping against a stone and we see Sol could’ve landed a blow from behind. Plot armor galore. - Osha does nothing mostly but stand there and watch. A team player. Then when she shoots Qimir once, she had to aim high where his helmet is. Didn’t notice Qimir was headbutting the lightsabers to short circuit them. - A lightsaber can’t penetrate through Cortosis but a female padawan’s elbow can break Smilo’s helmet as if it was made out of egg shells. - Osha prevents Sol from killing Qimir. Um, didn’t Osha leave the Jedi Order when she was 18? How did she all of a sudden become the chief of police and Sol has to listen to her? Didn’t she watch her friends in Jecki and Yord die? Why should she care what Sol does to Qimir if she no longer is a Jedi? - When Sol doesn’t kill Qimir, he watches Qimir pick up the lightsaber from the ground with the Force while Sol is ready to get slashed before Osha does her Pip thing which basically frees Qimir from any type of arrest. Where are the handcuffs to arrest these types of people? - Why does Osha drop the blaster on the ground? She shoots Mae with it and then we see Mae shoot Sol from the same area Osha shot Mae. Then Mae shoots Sol from behind. Um, didn’t Sol just save Mae from a lightsaber piercing right through her skull? Then she tells Osha that the Jedis are no good. A Jedi just saved her life only two minutes ago! 😂 - Mae decides to go Arryk Cargyll but without a Criston A-Hole telling her. But shouldn’t Sol see Mae’s witch markings and the burnt, smoky tips of her hair? So is Ep. 6 going to turn into The Parent Trap (1961/1998) where Sol is completely clueless that’s Mae? Will Bazil notify him that’s Mae? “We’re police officers. We’re not trained to handle that kind of violence.” - Erwin (Rob Schneider) in Demolition Man The official motto of the Uvalde, Texas police department and the Jedis during the High Republic Era.

@@EcksClips Should also note Merrick is neither Sith or Jedi. We don't know if Merrick was a fallen Jedi taken in or one found and trained. Either way they aren't trained very specifically in Jedi or Sith trainings. Which means he could have used it. Or he just randomly turned his lightsaber on and off in combat because his blade was still extended during that moment. My guess is he is a former Jedi padawan since he was seen during a period in which they were scooping them up. He knows about it and used that technique in combat. In the end it didn't help him all that much. Jedi: He's a traitor using techniques he shouldn't. Sith: He's a bitch. Never was a Sith to begin with. Qimir is questionable too. Is he Sith? The way he phrased it was you would call me a Sith. Not I am Sith. He doesn't actually say he is one. If you're one. Then he wouldn't outright say he is one. First he's force trained with a lightsaber. So keeping the secret is more important than not. So he would never outright say he is one or shouldn't. If he is a Sith then he is very shitty master or a very shitty apprentice. If he isn't Sith or Jedi Qimir will not have qualms about using something each order doesn't like. If he is one. He's a lot more not caring about the secret and ways of either order. I get not caring for what the Jedi think. What the Sith thinks. If he is the Master he's not caring. If he isn't his master finds out that is a sign of weakness and weakness can't be tolerated.

I have only heard of it once before but it's controversial in Star Wars universe as said both Jedi and Sith dislike the use of Trakataa yet here we see Qimir doing just that. To the Jedi, the use of Trakataa is dishonorable while to the Sith, it's considered a weakness. I actually find it funny both Jedi and Sith have different ideologies yet they both agree Trakataa is a style of fighting that must never be used. Then there is of course Cal Kestis who used it once to survive and Qimir calls himself a Sith but again it's self-proclaimed and he's already shown to be a dirty fighter.

@@ev17dan Then let's take another angle of the 3rd episode. Disregarding everything Osha didn't perceive Mae still tried to kill atleast her. Why does Mae have positive feelings for Osha years after those events when she is on her own personal revenge quest to kill the Jedi allegedly responsible for the death of the coven. She isn't sorry or apologetic in the slightest, which would be the natural conclusion of Mae having guilt about setting Osha's surroundings aflame. Mae's flip-flopping is so absurd to the viewer at this point that it detracts from her character, same as her just letting Osha back on the planet alone in an freaking jungle is even detrimental to her own goal of staying reunited with her (unless she already decided she doesn't want to do that until later again) and requires meta knowledge of somebody will surely find and safe her. Why again would she do that when she does not know the outcome of the fight between the Jedi and Qimir? Almost all of her actions are not in character for the viewer at this point, all of them. Bonus point: Osha goes from not wanting to be further involved with capturing Mae to agreeing to go literally one scene later. Or how she directly shines her droid flashlight into the creatures and not a single one cares, but the instant Qimir has the disco droid ball on his back they are frenziedly attacking him, not to mention that not a single lightsaber attracted their attention. The show is mediocre at best objectively (not saying you can't find subjective enjoyment) and this is the worst thing you can do when you have all the money in the world. This tantamounts to the show being trash, which is in line with Kenobi, BoBF and the 3rd season of Mandalorian who all make the same error of underdelivering in an enviroment where they shouldn't.

Kylo is a fallen Jedi so he won't follow the Jedi orders rules. Kylo also isn't a Sith so he isn't held to dogmatic beliefs. A technique is that based on a rule of school. Doing it randomly is a tactic. Kylo would be the most apt exmaple but i hardly remember that film. So yeah wasn't it with the red troopers guards. Rey throws the saber to him and he turns it off and on to kill one of them. That doesn't seem so much like a technique then a spur of a moment tactic adjustment. Plus was the saber ignited when it was thrown to him? God you're gonna make me watch that scene now. Okay I watched it. Kylo doesn't actually use that. Rey turns the lightsaber off and throws it to Kylo who ignites it into the guards face. Then he turns it off but the guards are dead. Though while I didn't want to watch that scene. I did catch something I never noticed before watching it. Kylo throws one of the guards into a hole and his body parts just spray out. I a good laugh at that shit.

In HEMA/Kenjutsu (real life sword fighting) there's one paramount rule: if it's practical, if it works, use it. We're talking about a fight to the death here. Not taking advantage of your resources is not "Honor"; that's a Hollywood invention. Being able to shorten your blade or disengage at grappling distance would be quite useful in an armed duel, as demonstrated by Visions. I'd be way more pissed off by all those force users reverse gripping their sabers.

@@glens2019 In many ways, I am a critic of many fantasy/sci-fi, comic=superheroes,... cinema graphic projects, book games or music materials. Like some MCU series shouldn't copy their comic book adaptation #She-hulk & Ms Marvel was weaker but I liked it, I liked both Capitan Marvel movies my favorite feminist retrained by the racist Kree race; DC movies and series speak for themselves, what quality are #??Justice League, Batman and Robin, Blue battle, Suicide squad 1?? The problem with Star Wars is that many directors/screenwriters/actors, for whom SW projects were made, will not be there in the end. #Rouge Squadrons, series Rangers of the New Republic where Gina Carano was supposed to be; movie by Taika Waititi, Kevin Feige; trilogy by Rian Johnson,... Projects like Book of Boba fett and Kenobi were originally supposed to be movies, there was even supposed to be a sequel to the Solo movie with Darth Maul. But it is necessary to show people, especially from the Toxic SW community, where their place is. The toxic community of Star Wars fans drove the same Jar Jar Binks almost to suicide, luckily he didn't, and then we could see him in Jedi Challenge and Mandalorian season 3. Due to the fact that mentally he could no longer handle this toxicity. The actor who played the young Anakin, Jake Lloyd, also had to drop out of school because they were poisonous to him and psychologically and emotionally destroyed his entire life that was just beginning. And after the prequel trilogies, George Lucas couldn't do it alone any more and decided to be with his family instead. Fans constantly told him, wrote and threatened him that he himself literally does not know how to make Star Wars. It was you! This community that hates Toxic Star Wars, who forced him to sell the rights to Disney. I talked. And for anyone who doesn't like the 7,8,9 trilogy, I will reveal that there are three other worst movies that should never have been made, Holiday Special, Caravan of Courage: The Ewok Adventure, and Ewoks: Battle of Endor. So I will tell you that the new trilogy turned out much better than it seems, but that's my opinion anyway, we know that everything will work out in time. And the films themselves are good. Because Star Wars is our childhood, our adolescence, our love, our feelings, our life forever.

I hate the idea of it being called a style or form of combat. It's a tactic that anyone can use if an opportunity presents itself. It's literally just turning your lightsaber off and on at critical moments. Even the example given in Acolyte is just a tactic that anyone with 2 lightsaber could do. The idea it would be frowned on for any reason is asinine. Jedi don't fight for sport. Honor isn't a thing they would bother with, and they're not naive enough to worry about fighting fair. If a Jedi is forced to fight, they neutralize the threat as quickly and efficiently as possible. Sith, meanwhile, they do whatever they deem necessary to win. Only oddities among Jedi and Sith would complain about using such a basic tactic. The Jedi Path book even recommends it as a move Jedi Knights SHOULD study.

I know it’s a move that fans question why we don’t see more of But making it canon seems silly too When you’re in a sword fight, you’re not trying to hit their blade, you’re trying to hit them. So turning off your lightsaber would put you at a huge disadvantage unless you have plot armor of course. Tho I’ll be devil’s advocate when I say the character splitting the blade, using one for defense and the other as more or less a short range firearm is a pretty solid way to go about it if you did.

"Both the good and bad guys refuse to use it even in life or death situations because it's dishonorable" is just a cop-out by the writers. It's a way to avoid admitting that they can't think of a way it would be effectively countered. Which is stupid on a meta-level, because the counter is that your opponent would see it coming, and turning your saber off creates a gigantic opening they could exploit. Lightsaber battles are fights between precogs: both sides can see into the future. You "win" by either having better stamina or skill diffing them. The only way flicking your lightsaber on and off could work is if you're powerful enough to passively fog up the force like Sideous was, and hide the fact that it's coming. And if you're that strong, you don't need it.

I always regarded Maul’s hilt bash on Qui-Gon to be a dirty move, but perfectly in character. If Dooku had done it, it wouldn’t feel right because he’s more of a gentleman duelist, but meanwhile Grievous is a notorious cheater. Vader may not cheat, but I’d hardly call him sporting, and there’s nothing really “fair” about Kylo Ren’s little cross guard.

Trakata is used in canon by Cal Kestis in Jedi: Fallen Order

Considering this Sith is the only one left and is looking for an apprentice, it makes sense he would use every advantage he has. If he dies all the knowledge goes with him. That’s if he is the only Sith and not an apprentice looking to find a pupil of his own before killing his master.

People saying turning off your lightsaber mid combat is OP have never been in a real lightsaber fight. Turning it off leaves you exposed and it’s not hard to track where the blade would be and move out the way or block when it’s about to be turned on. Especially as a Jedi. And doing this with two is no different as you are weaker with the force holding two blade compared to someone who can and you are weaker in strength having to split your strength between two blades where a one handed user can force the blade physically in your face

But… he didn’t really… do anything. He only turned it off after he’d already stabbed her. He could’ve accomplished the same thing by stabbing her multiple times (as I thought he did when I saw it). It makes no difference because he’d already won the bout.

I feel like 'The Acolyte' is the new "Episode I: Phantom Menace, but it's produced as a series instead of a movie". Because it's kinda funny to see how many people initially raged about it being the worst Star Wars has ever put out and the writers having supposedly no idea what they're doing, yet somehow they pull off in one Episode 2 things, that are established within the deeper Star Wars lore. But well, since it's not over, I guess I'll wait another month and then see how people think of 'The Acolyte' when everyone has calmed down and remembered that stuff like Episode IX and Rebel Moon exists. ^^

Sadly, pulling these details from the lore doesn't save the show. Phantom Menace was never gonna live up to the legacy of the original trilogy and it was coming out with 15 years worth of expectations on it's back. In contrast, no one was expecting much from the Acolyte and it still managed to disappoint. Phantom Menace did what it was supposed to do in setting up the stories that were to come, while introducing a few interesting concepts to the universe... The Acolyte can't even get it's own story straight. It's even more baffling how they manage to know these obscure details from comics, yet still contradict main movie lore.

@@ev17dan Oh, I'm very familiar with what an unreliable narrator is, but that only works when scenes are viewed from specific characters perspectives (think the narrator in Fight Club). That's not what's happening in the Acolyte with Osha, Mae, Sol, Yord and more all changing their minds on a dime to suit the plot, setups that get resolved in minutes etc.

I'm honestly convinced that the showrunner of the acolyte had a boyfriend who was really really really really really really into Star wars and she didn't like that. The acolyte seems like it's made by someone who questions why everything is done the way it is and the original trilogy and then try to just inject their own "basic logic" to the Star wars universe. Oh why don't they have this in Star wars I'll just put this in my show oh why have they never used the light servers like this I'll just put it in my show oh why have the Jedi always you know been looked at as good guys oh let's just put some shade on that and twist it up and make it ambiguous. And there are parts of the acolyte I like but for the most part it's just like I don't know it it's like a very sad little girl is throwing a temper tantrum over the boy she has a crush on liking R2D2 more than her.
