The Force is strong with the trailer for the upcoming Disney+ series.

Thanks to Star Wars fans, the trailer launch for The Acolyte has been one to remember.

Released yesterday, the trailer for The Acolyte garnered 51.3 million views in its first 24 hours. This is a new digital-only record for any Lucasfilm Disney+ series, surpassing every trailer for The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, Andor, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Ahsoka. We’re grateful for your support, and can’t wait for you to experience the series

Annnnnd now we know why they went with a bot based campaign. Just to create this meaningless ad byte.

I have no idea how the reception has been outside of this place. But I could easily envision massive trailer views and general negative reception. The fans have always been there and would love more interesting content IMO. Saturation has never been the problem IMO. The problem has been crappy content since Disney purchased the IP IMO. If the general reaction has been negative I'd guess it's because the trailer suggests that the content will be more like post-Disney content than pre-Disney content, which is why I have no excitement for this despite the flashy lightsabers.

Holy shit that ratio:

Holy shit that ratio:

Jeeeez

570,000 dislikes!?

Is that legit, or Bots?

 

[TransTrender]

Holy shit that ratio:

It's worth scrolling through the comment section for a few chuckles.

I'd be more inclined to believe the likes and positive comments are bots.

Yeah, who would pay for downvote bots? Kurtzman slip that into the Star Fleet Academy marketing budget for Paramount+?

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

Yeah not a good sign that they have to use bots to try to get any positive buzz for this show

Lol some of these are great.
I'm surprised Disney still has the comments enabled on the video.

It's like blowing on a dying ember till you are gasping for breath, desperately hoping for it to catch flame.

Dat bad girl is cute though, too bad she us unlikely to be strutting around in skin tight latex like a proper sith

Looks like a Star Wars fan film

Even worse, this looks like something out of a Star Wars pen & paper session.

Those kind of scenes really downplay the gravitas of the Jedi, IMHO. Assuming the concept is that EVERY jedi is the hero of their own story, they really should try to represent them that way, so a group shot like that should be framed and choreographed like a big team reveal, not just a bunch of mooks about to be mowed down. Each jedi should look unique and distinctive, like the way Geddy made them in the 2D Clone Wars show from way back.

Takeaways:

Black chick has mammoth tits.

Carrie Anne Moss was obviously reading from a prompt.

That Asian dude should speak more English, it's fucking hilarious.

Uh, lightsabers?

The ChatGPT comments in every Disney trailer are by far the most shameless ones, I read almost 30 comments and I doubt there was one from an actual human being

 

[Roufianos]

Saw that in the cinema yesterday, that old woman looked janky as fuck doing all those dodges

 

[Toons]

Dopest poster they've put out for anything they've made tbh.

I liked the first trailer but the concept of jedi being hunted down one by one is pretty neat. We always see them in a relative position of power when there are numbers.

Hoping they stick the landing cuz theres a good premise here.

 

[Dr. Claus]

This looks even worse than before. Congrats, Disney. You killed Star Wars.

 

[Darkmakaimura]

I miss the Star War.

 

[JimmyRustler]

Just saw the trailer for the first time and it looks horrible. This is going to be top tier trash once again.

 

[jufonuk]

Fifth element ?

Also Carrie Anne moss attractive.

And or is still the best out of all the Star Wars series. (That I have seen) haven’t watched Ashoka

Considering Leslye Headland was Harvey Weinstein Personal Assistant when she worked at the Weinstein Company I'd imagine she knows where the bodies are buried and finagled her silence into an unmerited career path at Disney(probably protecting some perverted bigwig) as it seems weird that Kathleen Kennedy would stick her neck out and actually want to hire her at Lucasfilm especially considering how these media companies tend to avoid hiring people even if it's potentially just bad press from guilt by association.

She also looks like impending doom in human form which I'd imagine would normally be a negative considering she's the face of their big new Star Wars I.P...

She looks like a young Ernest Borgnine

How are you gonna do Ernest Borgnine, dirty like that?
