I've been liking what feels like a more balanced approach ScreenCrush has been taking with this series, such as just presenting the Easter Eggs and breakdown without all the opinions. Opinions are discussed well in the videos that come out after the Easter Egg/Breakdown ones with Ryan and a couple guests. There are a lot of things that I feel could have been done differently with this series. I do enjoy hearing ideas and commentary such as this to consider, and I think Colton does a good job explaining his points of view in videos like this.

Maul - Sidious - Plagueis - Tenebrous and whoever came before them. The jedi had it wrong. The sith were never extinct. Always there in hiding until it was time to reveal themselves. The point of Ki-Adi-Mundi's line was to show that the jedi were deceived by the dark side.

Set 100 years before the skywalker saga, the high republic era should have fought somebody else other than spacenazis, again. Instead of breaking canon and screwing up continuity, the sith plot should have stayed in the background and the jedi should have fought a different antagonist and broke new ground, instead of recycling the same old tropes.

All the priors presented here and in the Clone Wars animated series detail that if the police force of the Republic were to be seen as un-informed or weak that the Senate would likely move to get rid of them. I never knew about the levels of canon, but really appreciate how thoroughly Colton presented how much of what was perceived to be G-Canon is actually much lower on the totem pole.

Hating on new Star Wars projects is the in thing these days. You now see many Star Wars content streamers jumping on the hate wagon because Hate views = Pay views! While it's true that the 1999 Cd with Cone heads age was never considered Canon, it was considered "Canon" by many Star Wars Fans (Myself included). Seeing Master Mundi appear in this show did shock me at first but knowing that his age was not ever mentioned on screen or in any Lucas approved media (at least that I know of), did mean that it could be officially made to be anything that the Writers need it to be at anytime. So many retcons and changes are being made to Star Wars "Canon" all the time. How Caleb Dume survived Order 66 was change in order to build up the Bad Batch and no one rage quit over it. Asajj Ventress appearing in the Bad Batch when it was generally accepted by most of us that she was dead at that time, blew over without much incident. Some people are starting to believe that they are bigger than the Star Wars IP, they are wrong.

I won't criticize this show until I see the finale!!! I'll accept it, I haven't enjoyed every part of this show (episodes 1 and 2 were pretty good, episode 3 was embarrassing, episode 4 was a little slow, but episode 5 was amazing). I have no problem with Master Mundi appearing for several reasons: -I don't care about his age because it doesn't matter for the story in general. - I don't mind that line of dialogue because the point is that it is a mistaken belief that only reveals the overconfidence of the Jedi order. - I have never liked the idea of the Sith waiting a thousand years to execute their plan (as if none of them in their entire line of masters and apprentices have been greedy enough to take action and seek absolute power. They are supposed to the sith be greedy). The things that I have not liked at all about this series are: the inclusive language because it is supposed to be set in "A galaxy far, far away" and not in "21st century America on Planet Earth" and the redundancy of the history. I really think Disney extends the length of the story to justify the existence of an eight-episode show instead of a four-episode one. I can feel it and it shows everywhere. Episodes 1 and 2 would have worked better together as an hour-plus episode, as would episodes 4 and 5. Episode 3 should have been put as flashbacks between each of the episodes. I really wish all the main characters died except the Stranger. The way I see it, the show was never about the Jedi, but rather about how one of the Sith got tired of waiting and sought more power and freedom to do whatever he wanted. Let's wait and see!!! Fingers crossed

There are hundreds of ways to expand the universe, but KK clearly chose to attack the foundation of it instead of building upon it. 2. The defense of what is obviously a pootly written and conceived show. It begs the question. To those who are familiar with Star Wars and blindly promote and defend this show. What are your true motivations and intentions? 3. Finally, using a beloved franchise with fans that have followed and loved it longer than these people have worked on it to over force their agendas is just wrong. Add to that the blatant nepotism and dismissal of the fans is disrespectful.

The dislikers = haters The likers = shills People can dislike and like things for valid reasons. People need to stop trying to frame each side of the audience into one group or the other, it just further divides everyone. Just let the work of entertainment speak for itself, which the review scores should be doing. My argument about KAM is legends vs canon. In legends, a Cerean is considered old by 64 years of age, and then "venerable" from 65+ according to wookiepedia today. There is nothing in the Canon section about their lifespan. Now I think most people could let the age thing go, because it was never very well established, if it wasn't for what KAM says in TPM, that Sith have not been seen for a 1000 years. Unless KAM is a Jedi Master council member complete idiot or a sith himself it serves him no purpose to say that. Its not like he was the only jedi alive at the time of the Acolyte. Ultimately, it seems like the showrunners either added KAM into the Acolyte because they are dumb or don't care...and so far for seemingly no purpose.

It doesn't make sense for Mundi to appear here. The only thing that justifies it is the changing of his birthday. I think it boils down to just a bad choice to use him as a cameo. Just have to watch the last three episodes to see how it all comes together. With all these Jedi dying, its only natural to believe that the Jedi would at least suspect their greatest enemy. And, if Mundi is involved in a massive conspiracy/ cover-up, one would also reasonably believe that the burden of that lie would weigh heavily on him. Similar to how Sol has seemed uneasy all season. That imbalance inside him would surely be more likely to be felt by the other masters close to him. Especially when he's promoted to the counsel and in close contact with Yoda and Windu. He's not a Sith. So, hiding in plane sight wouldn't be a skill I'd imagine he perfected. 🤔 But, at this point, it would actually be pretty cool if he turned out to be a secret dark side agent whose job was to dismiss the return of the Sith the entire time!

@@TolliverHiker How so? When Disney bought Lucasfilm they announced that none of the books, comics, video games, or other ancillary materials were canon anymore. Ki-Adi's age is included in that, since it was never from the mouth of George. This is no secret, it made news at the time. But now a bunch of y'all are trying to rewrite history, and act like this never happened. Seems pretty manipulative to me, stoking outrage. Oh, but YOU'RE NOT the ones gaslighting people? Yeah, okay. Because this is all easily verifiable, do a google search. Disney stated, plain as day, that the only things canon were the films and the Clone Wars. They didn't say the new canon was "The films, the Clone Wars, and Ki-Adi Mundi's age on a trading card" now did they? As far as Ki-Adi erroneously believing the Sith were "extinct" in TPM, the holotape of Mae doesn't indicate in any way that she's a Sith or working for one. So, he still has no idea the Sith exist at this time. And most of the Jedi that encountered the Sith are now DEAD anyway, so... I dunno why y'all are inventing problems outta thin air. It's childish.

Thank you for an informative and thought out video. I’ve talked to several “fans” who refused to watch The Acolyte and form their own opinions based on the negative comments that the Star Wars “experts” (Star Wars Theory, Echo Base, etc) have made about Ruthie’s show before viewing the entire season. It’s such a shame, the same thing happened with the movie Solo, which many are now admitting was good. Are all Star Wars projects good? No, just watch Rise of Skywalker (a movie with so many plot holes and things that just don’t make sense, like when did the Sith become known to everyone? ). But people should at least watch it on their own and form their own opinion.

What I think this also helps with is explaining how Yoda knew of the Rule of Two. If the Sith were indeed "extinct for a millennia", then how did he know of the Bane Rule of Two? There had to have been an encounter and coverup at some point. We do not know the whole Acolyte story yet. Let's hope they stick the landing.

The problem is based on what have seen so far, the audience dont trust the showrunners to come up with a plausible and satisfactory explanation as to why Ki Adi is alive during these events and doesnt know about the existence of the Sith in TPM. The storytelling and dialogue has been so bellow par that audience fear having Mundi there is just throwing in somebody from the prequels just for the sake of it, without thinking about what it will do for continuity. Only a mass cover-up of the events on Brendok, once they become known to the wider Jedi, even the council, and why a bunch of experienced Jedi were cut down by a light saber will do to undo this assault on the continuity.

What "audience" are you speaking of? You don't mean the casual fan who just enjoys Star Wars, because trust me, they don't care. You're talking about the always online, angry fans. The number one reason they don't "trust" the show runners is because there has been a concerted effort for months to trash them as "fake Star Wars fans" by numerous creators looking to drum up views by rage baiting. Honestly, the show is a 5 or 6 out of 10 at best, so I'm not defending it outside the fight scenes which have been fantastic, but the discourse about this show is long passed rational at this point. Any movie or TV show with "acolyte" in the title, including those with nothing to do with Star Wars were review bombed within seconds of the show going live.

@@andrewshandle Personally I've no interest in the online outrage merchants and whether they want to slate the show or not. If the causal fans dont catch or dont care about the contradiction of Ki Adi being in this series and his comments in TPM, that's cool not everybody needs to be aware of every line spoken. But as a dedicated Star Wars fan I nearly jumped out of my seat when I saw him on screen in this show, knowing what's to come in the prequels. This show is probably on a bar with the Book of Boba Fett in terms of quality writing and dialogue, which is why Iam personally concerned as to how they are going to reconcile a red bladded darkside user who calls himself a Sith with the events of TPM.

And a large chuck is politically motivated. And the handful of people that are sincere can't be told from the majority. And theirs a huge difference between not liking something and saying something is bad. Just because you don't like it doesn't make it bad.

That still doesn't make any sense. Mundi is aware of a threat. He says, let's tell the council. And years later he's oblivious of that threat.??! Let's just admit they messed up. Because even if Mundi was working for the Sith to throw off the Jedi, he wouldn't suggest going to the council. And it wouldn't make any sense that Yoda who sensed Order 66 couldn't sense Mundi's intentions, when Mundi himself couldn't sense Order 66. The Jedi's hubris was clearly obvious in the films. That's no secret. Mundi being part of the coverup now, come on.?? Don't make excuses for poor writing. They messed up and just say it. They didn't do enough research for this project.

Ki-Adi-Mundi's age was never canon to the post-2014 timeline that The Acolyte takes place in. His age was only confirmed for the Legends timeline, which is a separate continuity with different lore.
