Open Bar #101 - The Acolyte Episode 5, House Of The Dragon Roars

Seeing Mauler and the Drinker rip apart the Acolyte is the most satisfying part of the show’s existence.

Star Wars fanfic stories have more respect to the source material than Disney ever did.

The thing with Cortosis is that it's from the EU. You know, the EU that Disney nuked into oblivion and declared non-canon. If you want to introduce that, you have to EARN it. You have to give SOME kind of explanation for what you are seeing. Instead they just clearly ripped it off Wookiepedia and just expected everybody to know what was happening.

It genuinely annoys me how the Squid Game actor (dunno his actual name) is actually a pretty solid choice to play a Jedi, but he’s just stuck with writing that wouldn’t pass my third grade english course.

The biggest problem with Disney star wars: they don't love star wars. And we can tell.

🎶Everybody is Kung Fu fighting! Their kicks weren't as fast as lightning! Nobody has any excellent timing! Ezra Miller discount sighting. Trees and Jedi dying! I'm laughing instead of crying. Cortosis vs lightsabers not igniting! Use of force when there's continuity reminding. *There's plenty of mock material with this song to go with this episode.

Seeing Snarky Jay with Drinker, Robot Head and Mauler was not something I’d think I’d ever see happen and yet here we are. Great show!

Finally convinced the wife to cancel Disney+. Even after the “debates” and realizing our country is in the shitter, this cancellation made it a good productive week.

Love open bar! Snarky is a delight and I hope to see her again.

Even as an Expanded Universe fan I don’t blame Drinker and others for being confused about cortosis. KennedyFilm and Disney drops old Star Wars lore (which they killed off) with the subtlety of Tetris bricks without ever earning the right to use any of it, and doing it wrong.

The Acolyte is like if you were really really really into model trains. Like obsessed. Your kid sister sees you and your friends are having more fun with the trains than she is with her Russian dolls or Bridgerton action figures and asks to join...then proceeds to either intentionally or accidentally break entire collection you'd spent years of allowance building. And then, when you get understandably upset, she just shrugs and says "relax bro, they're just toy trains" and goes back to playing with her Russian dolls and Bridgerton live action figures.

They pick and choose when to follow Legends Canon One Episode we are not supposed to follow Master Ki Adi Mundi Birthday because it's Legend Another Episode We are supposed to follow Legends when Cortosis is used as the strangers armor and helmet

Hope SnarkyJay comes back. She's bright and entertaining in addition to being a ridiculously attractive woman.

7:06 "Make sure you let em know Tyrone sent ya, WOO", I'm happy Snarky Jay is a part of this party. The best part of Disney Star Wars, are the reviews! The reviews are so entertaining, Robot is dope also.

Regarding weather in movies. Something that pisses me off to no end is when people, like for example, John Snow, is beyond the wall up in freezing temperatures and nobody wears head protection. I live in the north of Sweden and I know how it feels when it's -30 to 40 degrees celsius. If you don't protect your head you will die in less then an hour. 50% of your body heat goes out through your head.

Ezra didn't even need a lightsabre in Ashoka... but these Jedi Knights forgot they can use the Force entirely? ... jeez Disney can't even remember their last show!

I was just about to tell you that @SnarkyJay would be a great addition to Open Bar and Friday Night Tights!

Shrek seems so much older than fellowship of the ring
