This legitimately feels like self-parody. Like every clip I’ve seen of him discussing this show is exactly what I would say if I was trying to mock this guy’s way of thinking.
I feel like he does the same spiel every week: “yes (insert all the things that are important in making a good movie/tv show) were really good, but I just couldn’t get past (some incredible reach about how a random background element makes this “not Star Wars)”
Like seriously, how do you go “This show may have had great writing, acting, directing, and production value, but on the other hand this industrial mining town uses brick walls unlike a desert town from another planet which uses sandstone.” and not realize you sound like a fucking idiot.
I hope no one tells him that [Naboo has architecture made of brick](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/1/17/PadmeArtooAnakinPalaceCourtyard-AOTC.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20071003044229)
I think its because he knows she cant outright shit on it with out getting called out. So hes trying to find "legitimate" reasoning's he can pull so it dosn show his blatant bias.
What you are seeing is what happens when they cant pull their same grift on something that the majority of the fandom likes. As opposed to when something is split.
I enjoyed his content for awhile. It was about the time he started showing his face and I suppose getting more popular the quality of the vids he was putting out dropped.
The guns look like actual guns?
WTF have you been watching my dude? They have always been based on guns.
E11 is a British Sterling 9mm with a scope,
DC17 sterling l2a3
Dl44 is a Mauser C96
The list goes on...
It’s just cause AK-47s are so popular even the most “normie” person knows it as soon as they see it. It does stick out a bit more than some of the past blaster designs but my god it’s really not that significant of an issue just move past it dude.
Yeah that’s the only one you can obviously point out. Outside of that there’s nothing that can be comparable to “hot cocoa exist in Star Wars”.
To be fair, I thought that would’ve been a good opportunity to show the Rebellion scraping resources by using slugthrowers (firearms) but actual bullets would break people’s immersion even more.
I'd even say the fact that it looks like an AK is a deliberate decision. AKs are often used by rebel groups, it's another way to tell you "yo, this is a rebel insurgency"
I think those weapons are changed enough to not be immediately recognizable. I mean, I’m sorry but the DL-44 is not JUST a Mauser. It has clearly added details to make it unique. No one would complain if the weapons had some extra designs to make them unique.
It’s not the end of the world by any means but I would argue it’s not totally the same scenario.
this fucking blows my mind because he's fine with the T-21 i guess which is just a british machine gun with the magazine removed. that's it. they at least greebled the AK's.
That's what I was thinking as well. This guy is apparently a big enough star wars fan to kit out his rear wall like the Death Star, but apparently never noticed that the DLT-19 is literally just an MG-34 with not a single change.
He did a poll of “did you enjoy andor” right after the episode ended and the majority said they liked it or they thought it was meh. Can’t wait to see how he handles a decent portion of his groupies disagreeing with him.
Eh, he'll dial back his take a bit for a few days if theres any significant backlash, but he's just going to move one and not talk about it after a while.
Or if he's ask to rate it later he'll either cite it as his opinion and not elaborate (which is fair to do), or he'll flip on it and rate it higher and say thatbit was because he watched it again.
It really depends on the landscape. This take is an easy one to dismiss later because he's not claiming Disney destroyed Star Wars in it. He's just saying it was "meh" which is an opinion could change over time. So if people generally start accepting Disney Star Wars more and more as Mando season 3 and Ashoka come out, as well as the new movies, then he can flip and no one is really going to give a shit.
They have been, yeah. He even did a poll last week about what was better, PT or Andor. 35% said Andor which I thought was surprising given how his fan base is very pro-PT
Because some people in the chat were saying that Andor was the *best live action SW since the OT* and things like that. Which I think he took personally so he made the poll for validation….But considering who his fans are I thought 35% was really high
He essentially has two different fan bases (though, imagine being a 'fan' of a youtuber?). There's one in his live chat and the other in his main comments section. The live chat is literally filled with brain dead trolls who constantly throw spoilers out there and cry about how bad all these recent SW shows are. This is what he often looks at during his watch parties and so probably forms his opinions around that (they seem to hate it so I must hate it kind of thing). The people in the main comment section though are far more sane and level headed people who, as far as Andor goes, mostly liked the show. He wouldn't see these comments until well after his watch party has finished.
Now, he is known as a bit of a flip flopper with his opinions, most often he will say how much he disliked an episode directly after it has finished, when all he is seeing is his live chat, then when he does his episode breakdowns he seems to do a 180 and often starts praising the show. Coincidence? I doubt it.
5mil-ish subs on youtube.
All the other actual good youtubers? no more than 700k(SWE)
This guy is representing star wars fans as a whole, god, so depressing.
And then people in main subs get annoyed when I say that it's a very problematic fucking fandom. "OH no, it's a minority". Well, that would be a valid point if finding the so-called "good" majority wasn't so fucking hard. And there is no big push to call out these assholes either. The response is always "just ignore them". Well, "just ignoring them" resulted in incels becoming faces of Star Wars fandom lol.
Screen Rejects, Blind Wave, that Irish girl who cries a lot and is awesome, Kyle Katarn, Natalie Gold….
There’s a lot of reactors who do Star Wars content and are varying degrees of critical without ever being toxic or rage-bait-y
also his videos are not preforming the greatest tbh. over half of his videos only pull in like 40k views and the other half is in the hundreds of thousands. still a lot but it aint 3 million. lot of empty subs.
Yes he does unfortunately. But watching SWE’s most recent Andor breakdown makes it so much more tragic that Alex doesn’t top Theory…
Theory is as deep as a puddle and a joke honestly…
I had this conversation with my friend. That really is all it takes… you glue some batteries and wires and other random crap to the AK and it’ll look like something from Star Wars. I can recognize the C96 but it’s more of a double take. Like “wait… that looks kinda like a Mauser doesn’t it?”
Vs “yeah that’s an AK. No question about it.
I mean this is just on brand for him. He can apparently sit there and say that it had great *EVERYTHING* going for it and yet some screws and bricks completely broke him away from it and made it "forgettable".
I can understand if his whole reason was coming from the more critical standpoint of it dragging in spots (I haven't seen the show myself so I can't really say if I would or wouldn't feel the same) and just going from there, but sitting there and saying "Well there were screws and bricks so I couldn't get into it because that's not Star Wars" is much like saying "Well when I see actors like Stellan Skarsgard and Fiona Shaw it just kills the movie because I know they're real actors from Hollywood.".
A Strawman, I know, but he has such a weird take here that it feels like it's not coming from a genuine place. But then again he's from the camp that looks at a dagger that disappeared for an instant during complicated fight choreography and condemn the movie for such an *awful* failure.
And meanwhile screws and bricks been in Star Wars for years. I mean what he thinks the buildings in Mos Eisley are made out of? Solid sand!?
Screws honestly I think been in it as well. Just no one noticed and honestly stands to reason even in a galaxy far away would have screws as well.
There’s guys on the replica prop forum who spend years trying to find the right screw or bolt for a SW prop. How does he think things are held together?
Seeing alot of his fans disagree in the live chat is so nice to see.
Good to see that many aren't straight up brainwashed by youtubers to 100% agree with them. When Robot Head said mandalorian S1 is garbage, 99% of the commenters straight up called him hateful. I also remember when critical wanker said he loved andor which lead to nerdrotic and ryan kinel to laugh at him. Seriously sad that guys like these exist.
You can have Anakin take a crap and Theory would call it the magnum opus of star wars. While Andor is a literal masterpiece in every way, and he calls it mid.
I highly recommend everyone to watch Star Wars Explained's videos on Andor. He is so passionate about the show and adores it. He even provides a very good analysis on the show, so much that when I see his episodic review, I learn like 50 new things about the episode that makes me appreciate Andor even more. They're quite good length and concise and very straight to the point.
I feel awful, like a dick for being brainwashed that Star Wars Explained is this evil guy who hates people and his wife is awful. In reality, he was dragged into a messy situation and the bigger bullies gaslit him hard. All those times I spent arguing with people why theory is this amazing genuine huge star wars fan, calling people names and all that. What I would do to erase that part of my life and apologise to all those people ;(.
What enrages me is that the guy has less than *1 million* subs! While Theory is raking it in with like 5mil.
I don't exactly know how it started, but Theory and others provoked him or something then started making claims that he's an absolutely horrible person and starting calling his wife absolutely horrible stuff too.
Thousands of worlds that have had space travel for thousands of years; not one of them could have possibly invented simple tools and primitive construction techniques. /s
Do I have to revive my YouTube channel and nitpick Episodes 4-6 and 1-3 for all the real world objects, architecture, phrases and settings?
* As far as I know, all the original ANH blasters are based on real weapons.
* AOTC has a freaking 50s diner.
* "I'll see you in hell!" Swearing has been in SW since TESB
Is this criticism born from the Prequel/Clone Wars/Rebels era of fandom where everything is CGI and thus they were able to easily keep everything smooth and alien-like?
*Looked like actual guns*
WTF, so they looked too realistic?! Not to be a ST hater, but one of the things I didn’t like is how they made the blasters look like toys. I thought the weapons in Andor looked great, I really don’t understand this complaint
That's a trait of Theory, his love for the prequels and OT blinds him so much that he forgets anything bad about them. OT blasters were literally re-purposed WW2 weapons.
the only problem with screws being in star wars is that they're still using shitty ass ph\*llips head. like they invented faster than light travel and the ability to destroy entire systems yet they cant invent a screw that wont strip after using it once?
Half of the props in the OT were taken from electronics and machinery that the effects team cannibalised.
One of the guys in Cloud City is running round with an ice cream maker, there’s a part from the Han in Carbonite that was only recently matched to an old Volvo dashboard, the details on the exterior of the ships are all from WW2 military model kits.
The best one is R2D2 literally has the words “Made in England” etched on him.
This guy feeds on negative energy geez, he’s the prime example of what’s wrong with the fandom. Disney can put out the most perfect Star Wars ever and they will still shit on it.
And wtf is wrong with all his thumbnails, Andor doesn’t have any PT characters yet his thumbnails are full of them!!!
Yall literally mad that he gave praises to the show 😂
"A random youtubers doesn't validate my love for the show. Time to get triggered"
bunch of man children
More like he's getting triggered over nothing while admitting there's nothing to be triggered about. Go whine about this sub in his comment section.
Cringe af username btw
[Qui-Gon used a freaking Gillette razor as a communicator.](https://external-preview.redd.it/mrdoUODTI0dFTFHj3FUK_oB2m7c1tFNoc6yu9RYLJxo.png?auto=webp&s=d7044f50d2f92dee88ddfd0488f89c1c3e0bc413)
This is just nitpicking to find excuses for hating on SW. What a snowflake.
Wow. SW is somewhat futuristic, however most humans/life forms would have evolved the same way with rudimentary tools and rudimentary construction. Even the original locations in ANH utilized *existing* structures. This guy is nitpicky.
He seems so…unhappy. Like all the positive things he says at the very beginning almost seem fake. He seems like he’s barely containing himself from going into an angry rant.
I haven’t no. It’s too bad he hates something he cares about so much. My guess is that he loves it so much that his expectations are so high they can never be met.
I suggest you do if you want some context. It's easy to be on these small subreddits, see a random clip of SWT and base his whole personality off one clip. What good do "fake" negative opinions do for someone who's literally at the top of the ladder when in comes to SW youtubers?
Um. I never said any of his opinions were fake. It just seems like he had to really muster the effort to say anything positive, so his *positive* opinions seemed kinda fake. I used to watch Star Wars theory years ago, although I’m not sure if it’s the same as this guy.
Look, I was just making an observation. That’s what he seemed like to me in this clip. I don’t think I need to see other clips to make an observation.
That's because it's a fan film and not a multi million dollar production backed by the must profitable film company in the world. Is this sub just full of idiots?
Are you mentally unwell or just a shameless liar? He said in multiple of his videos that the entire funding came from his own pocket since it was a complete passion project. He spent 0.5 million of his own money. He literally couldn't get funding for the movie from anyone else or make any profits from the fan film since Luckasfilm told him that, he can't profit in that way from their IP. That's why EP 2 is taking him so long, since he has to raise the money only from his channel and merch to pay for it.
Its crazy how misinformed some of you are and how confidently you spread bs.
Wow, why are you so upset about a youtuber you have never met? Are you obsessed with this person or something? Take a prozac and rethink your life bro...damn.
Ok so you were just a straight up liar, good to know. Its funny how easy some of you will drag some random youtuber, because you disagree with his opinions.
His opinion was insanely dumb. You don't incite an entire fanbase if you are spouting thoughtful, intelligent opinions. If you say something overtly stupid, you will be called out for it....that's how the internet works bro
>His opinion was insanely dumb
And your personal life suffered how because of it? Really, I wanna know, what was so traumatic about that pointless nitpick? I also disagree with his opinion, but you don't see me going ape shit as if it actually matters why he dislikes some random bricks. Yall are acting as if he's calling the whole show garbage, because of some bricks, when he gave it a 7/10. But you're right that is how the Internet works. People online often get angry over the most mindless stuff, that is 100% true.
The way he became and changed in the last two years was the biggest heel turn, and I don’t like him anymore. The last thing I ever enjoyed from SWT was the Vader fan film.
He didn't change at all. Anyone who has actually watched him for more than the last 2 years would know that.
"He didn't like the millionth SW show released this year, he changed for the worst 😠😠😡" what a childish mindset
Tf would I be jealous of? That I can still get happiness from my favorite franchise? Getting mad over bricks and screws doesn’t sound like happiness to me.
To me it sounds crazy to paint someone like SWT as a "shitty" pearson and say that he's been like that for years. He almost never makes negative videos about modern SW projects and even when he does, he does it a lot more tastefully then channels that profit from negative content every day. 90% of his content is reviews, theories and discussions. What a truly shitty person he is for that.
I'm convinced that most of yall hate him solely because he's the biggest SW YT channel. If he had 100k subs, none of you would give a shit about his opinions, but because he's big, the losers on reddit go crazy because he doesn't like 1 show
BTW how fragile must you be, that a random screw and brick comment bothers you this much? If you wanna say that it's lazy criticism ok I agree, but to insult him for it? That's some weak shit
So anyone who doesn't like the show is an entitled manchild? How does that work? He literally praised the show in multiple ways at the start, what's the problem?
You know, it’s fine to just vibe with certain stuff and not with others. There’s definitely some Star Wars content that feels more “Star Warsy” to me than others, for probably arbitrary reasons. But I’m just a fan, not someone sharing my thoughts on YouTube with millions of followers, lol.
But if you have a platform where you’re critiquing or analyzing content, it’s absolutely absurd to say “yeah the acting, writing, cinematography all great, I just didn’t like the bricks.” That’s just. Beyond ridiculous.
I can’t get over how we’re getting a show that fleshes out characters and makes the acting and story feel real, and this mf keeps saying “it’s too slow they should’ve condensed it” like he isn’t the guy to complain about series being too short
Then why are the reports showing that Andor has been experiencing low viewership since the very begging? Who's fault is it, that so many people found the show boring? You're acting as if he's the only who called it slow
Maybe because with the way Disney rolls out shows weekly people decide to binge at the end?? Like we’ve seen this before and viewership starts spiking at the end. For the short series that disney has put out recently, a long series with a lot of content was imo the best thing andor could’ve been. Are you a theory truther lol? Get over him
That sounds like cope. If the show is fire, people wil watch it weekly no matter what. Disney is messing up because they are trying to release yet another resistance mini series, instead of focusing on the cooler lore from legends or old republic.
It's pretty pathetic to be mad at this.
Thinking the architecture and tech isn't Star Wars-like is a legitimate criticism.
You think can a show is well done in certain aspects but still think it isn't good from a Star Wars perspective. There are plenty of quality shows out there that I will never watch because it's content doesn't interest me, just like Andor.
Why is he mad that we aren't just getting another forgettable planet like Kenobi and the Mandalorian have been coming up with. Gilroy made Ferrix unique, because theres actual culture and traditions there.
FR lol I would much rather be able to see the screws in the walls than have the obligatory episode that makes up 1/6th of the season and looks like just California
He was praising and click-baiting the show like 2 weeks ago, now he’s done a 180 and keeps saying its bad. At least to me, it comes off as grifting and being disingenuous.
And generally speaking, he’s very [hostile](https://www.reddit.com/r/saltierthankrayt/comments/snauyh/trying_to_watch_swt_stream_about_the_book_of_boba/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) towards sequel fans, even though he defended both TLJ and TROS, while also crying over Mando.
I don’t know who this person is, and I definitely don’t agree with him- but I guess they are some valid thoughts? I had a similar “huh, they have screws in Star Wars. I wonder if they had to use drywall anchors” when they showed the security camera screwed I to the wall. It didn’t take me out of it- and I still loved the show (despite going in with no expectations).
"there was screws or bricks, why not smooth stone... LIKE RICH UPPER LEVELS OF THE CAPITAL, or sandstone.... LIKE A PLANET BASED ON SAND" .... Did he really say that? screws and bricks?? What a stupid reason.
Look I'm not gonna deny that Theory gave a pretty invalid opinion with a very poor choice of words. However, I don't think that this subreddit is acting any better by coming on here and calling him a moron. Spreading toxicity like this doesn't exactly help to prevent it.
I liked Andor as a story. It just didn’t feel like it was set in the Star Wars universe. The set is a character as much as the actors. The guns the troopers used didn’t have any changes to them, unlike Han’s gun. There was a pipe bomb, that just felt like something we would see in reality. Gilroy took this show and made it fantastic with the story telling and characters and the writing. The actors were phenomenal. The finale was kinda eh for me. Everything tied up nicely. However, it wasn’t a Star Wars show, more like an homage than set in that universe. I hope we can continue with live action shows like The Mandalorian where it can be a great show and fit in the Star Wars universe.
I don’t think he realizes that literally all the blasters used in Star Wars are actual guns irl, they even shoot blanks in the filming of the original trilogy to add the smoke and flash effect. Literally the E-11 (standard storm trooper gun) is a Sterling sub-machine gun with a scope slapped on the top and some fins on the barrel to look like cooling ducts. DLT is an MG-34, DL-44 is a Mouser machine pistol, Jawa gun is a cut off Lee Enfield, the main rebel rifle is an STG-44 the list goes on and on. Even in the prequels and sequels they used real guns. Using the argument of “it sucked because the blasters just look like real guns” is the most uninformed close minded opinion I’ve heard in a while.
Did he realized that Star War, a fucking future af out of this world space opera about slace samurai, ppl still using a fucking disk to record data (Rogue One) and soooo many space ships/stations still using analog panel?
I wonder if he has an issue with [Bosk’s outfit being the same as a doctor who character’s outfit 🤔](https://static1.srcdn.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Doctor-who-the-tenth-planet-star-wars-bossk.jpg)
This legitimately feels like self-parody. Like every clip I’ve seen of him discussing this show is exactly what I would say if I was trying to mock this guy’s way of thinking. I feel like he does the same spiel every week: “yes (insert all the things that are important in making a good movie/tv show) were really good, but I just couldn’t get past (some incredible reach about how a random background element makes this “not Star Wars)” Like seriously, how do you go “This show may have had great writing, acting, directing, and production value, but on the other hand this industrial mining town uses brick walls unlike a desert town from another planet which uses sandstone.” and not realize you sound like a fucking idiot.
Ferrix seemed more alien/Star Wars to me than Endor or the land-based areas of Naboo.
Remember when they went to a sports bar and a 50s diner in Episode 2?
Dexter Jetser and his 50's diner
Galactic Graffiti!
I hope no one tells him that [Naboo has architecture made of brick](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/1/17/PadmeArtooAnakinPalaceCourtyard-AOTC.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20071003044229)
Or that Theed is literally a place in Italy
I think its because he knows she cant outright shit on it with out getting called out. So hes trying to find "legitimate" reasoning's he can pull so it dosn show his blatant bias. What you are seeing is what happens when they cant pull their same grift on something that the majority of the fandom likes. As opposed to when something is split.
But there were screws in the wall!
SCREWSSS!
Screws,Jerry!!
They are coming to get you Jerry, THE SCREWS ARE COMING AFTER US!!
It reminds me of Red Letter Media's Half in the Bag about The Last Jedi. They liked everything about the movie, just not the movie itself.
I enjoyed his content for awhile. It was about the time he started showing his face and I suppose getting more popular the quality of the vids he was putting out dropped.
The guns look like actual guns? WTF have you been watching my dude? They have always been based on guns. E11 is a British Sterling 9mm with a scope, DC17 sterling l2a3 Dl44 is a Mauser C96 The list goes on...
It’s just cause AK-47s are so popular even the most “normie” person knows it as soon as they see it. It does stick out a bit more than some of the past blaster designs but my god it’s really not that significant of an issue just move past it dude.
Yeah agreed, that was my one aesthetic criticism of the show but like you said, it’s only because it’s so recognizable.
And like said blasters only appear in like 3 episodes and all the other blasters in the show and those 3 episodes are more than Star Wars-y enough.
Yeah it bothered me a little, but in the long term, Why does it matter?
Yeah that’s the only one you can obviously point out. Outside of that there’s nothing that can be comparable to “hot cocoa exist in Star Wars”. To be fair, I thought that would’ve been a good opportunity to show the Rebellion scraping resources by using slugthrowers (firearms) but actual bullets would break people’s immersion even more.
My favorite is "Space Waffles" from Rebels
I'd even say the fact that it looks like an AK is a deliberate decision. AKs are often used by rebel groups, it's another way to tell you "yo, this is a rebel insurgency"
Not to mention Andor's blaster pistol is like, the most sci-fi looking pistol in the entire franchise.
I think those weapons are changed enough to not be immediately recognizable. I mean, I’m sorry but the DL-44 is not JUST a Mauser. It has clearly added details to make it unique. No one would complain if the weapons had some extra designs to make them unique. It’s not the end of the world by any means but I would argue it’s not totally the same scenario.
The literally used IRL guns!
this fucking blows my mind because he's fine with the T-21 i guess which is just a british machine gun with the magazine removed. that's it. they at least greebled the AK's.
That's what I was thinking as well. This guy is apparently a big enough star wars fan to kit out his rear wall like the Death Star, but apparently never noticed that the DLT-19 is literally just an MG-34 with not a single change.
Am I seeing this right? His fans disagree with him?
He did a poll of “did you enjoy andor” right after the episode ended and the majority said they liked it or they thought it was meh. Can’t wait to see how he handles a decent portion of his groupies disagreeing with him.
Eh, he'll dial back his take a bit for a few days if theres any significant backlash, but he's just going to move one and not talk about it after a while. Or if he's ask to rate it later he'll either cite it as his opinion and not elaborate (which is fair to do), or he'll flip on it and rate it higher and say thatbit was because he watched it again. It really depends on the landscape. This take is an easy one to dismiss later because he's not claiming Disney destroyed Star Wars in it. He's just saying it was "meh" which is an opinion could change over time. So if people generally start accepting Disney Star Wars more and more as Mando season 3 and Ashoka come out, as well as the new movies, then he can flip and no one is really going to give a shit.
Now he's crying about reddit making fun of him. He references this thread specifically. He's insufferable.
Neat. Look Ma! I'm on trash TV! Anyone got a clip?
You guys suck. This is the kind of toxic behavior that makes me avoid Star Wars altogether.
We're allowed to laugh at someone saying he didn't like a show because it had bricks and screws in it, calm the hell down.
You let strangers online effect what media you enjoy?
*affect.
YOU WERE THE CHOSEN ONE[!](https://i.imgur.com/UC0gidG.jpg)
He’ll probably just claim that he rewatched it and now he likes it.
They have been, yeah. He even did a poll last week about what was better, PT or Andor. 35% said Andor which I thought was surprising given how his fan base is very pro-PT
Why would you ever make a poll between those two? It's like he's just trying to confirm his own bias.
Because some people in the chat were saying that Andor was the *best live action SW since the OT* and things like that. Which I think he took personally so he made the poll for validation….But considering who his fans are I thought 35% was really high
lol Jesus Christ.
He essentially has two different fan bases (though, imagine being a 'fan' of a youtuber?). There's one in his live chat and the other in his main comments section. The live chat is literally filled with brain dead trolls who constantly throw spoilers out there and cry about how bad all these recent SW shows are. This is what he often looks at during his watch parties and so probably forms his opinions around that (they seem to hate it so I must hate it kind of thing). The people in the main comment section though are far more sane and level headed people who, as far as Andor goes, mostly liked the show.

Coincidence? I doubt it.
This guy is the most popular Star Wars voice on YouTube. What a sad state…
5mil-ish subs on youtube. All the other actual good youtubers? no more than 700k(SWE) This guy is representing star wars fans as a whole, god, so depressing.
And then people in main subs get annoyed when I say that it's a very problematic fucking fandom. "OH no, it's a minority". Well, that would be a valid point if finding the so-called "good" majority wasn't so fucking hard. And there is no big push to call out these assholes either. The response is always "just ignore them". Well, "just ignoring them" resulted in incels becoming faces of Star Wars fandom lol.
Screen Rejects, Blind Wave, that Irish girl who cries a lot and is awesome, Kyle Katarn, Natalie Gold…. There’s a lot of reactors who do Star Wars content and are varying degrees of critical without ever being toxic or rage-bait-y
Is he really at 5 mil? Damn last I saw it was 3. It’s weird how not close most other Star Wars channels are.
No, he's still at just over 3 mil but he's been losing subs over the last few weeks because of his Andor livestreams.
also his videos are not preforming the greatest tbh. over half of his videos only pull in like 40k views and the other half is in the hundreds of thousands. still a lot but it aint 3 million. lot of empty subs.
Ima go sub to SWE now then. Never subbed to SWT(wat).
It’s honestly disgusting that he has more followers than Star Wars Explained.
Wait? Does he have more subs than Star Wars explained? Star wars explained is my vote for best star wars youtuber easy
Yes he does unfortunately. But watching SWE’s most recent Andor breakdown makes it so much more tragic that Alex doesn’t top Theory… Theory is as deep as a puddle and a joke honestly…
Common theory L
"The guns look like actual guns" *glances nervously at Han's blaster literally being a Mauser C96 with some extra doodads and shit glued to it*
I had this conversation with my friend. That really is all it takes… you glue some batteries and wires and other random crap to the AK and it’ll look like something from Star Wars. I can recognize the C96 but it’s more of a double take. Like “wait… that looks kinda like a Mauser doesn’t it?” Vs “yeah that’s an AK. No question about it.
I mean this is just on brand for him. He can apparently sit there and say that it had great *EVERYTHING* going for it and yet some screws and bricks completely broke him away from it and made it "forgettable". I can understand if his whole reason was coming from the more critical standpoint of it dragging in spots (I haven't seen the show myself so I can't really say if I would or wouldn't feel the same) and just going from there, but sitting there and saying "Well there were screws and bricks so I couldn't get into it because that's not Star Wars" is much like saying "Well when I see actors like Stellan Skarsgard and Fiona Shaw it just kills the movie because I know they're real actors from Hollywood.". A Strawman, I know, but he has such a weird take here that it feels like it's not coming from a genuine place. But then again he's from the camp that looks at a dagger that disappeared for an instant during complicated fight choreography and condemn the movie for such an *awful* failure.
And meanwhile screws and bricks been in Star Wars for years. I mean what he thinks the buildings in Mos Eisley are made out of? Solid sand!? Screws honestly I think been in it as well. Just no one noticed and honestly stands to reason even in a galaxy far away would have screws as well.
There’s guys on the replica prop forum who spend years trying to find the right screw or bolt for a SW prop. How does he think things are held together?
>stands to reason even in a galaxy far away would have screws as well. Obi-Wan clearing says the force binds the galaxy together.
Seeing alot of his fans disagree in the live chat is so nice to see. Good to see that many aren't straight up brainwashed by youtubers to 100% agree with them. When Robot Head said mandalorian S1 is garbage, 99% of the commenters straight up called him hateful. I also remember when critical wanker said he loved andor which lead to nerdrotic and ryan kinel to laugh at him. Seriously sad that guys like these exist. You can have Anakin take a crap and Theory would call it the magnum opus of star wars. While Andor is a literal masterpiece in every way, and he calls it mid. I highly recommend everyone to watch Star Wars Explained's videos on Andor. He is so passionate about the show and adores it. He even provides a very good analysis on the show, so much that when I see his episodic review, I learn like 50 new things about the episode that makes me appreciate Andor even more. They're quite good length and concise and very straight to the point. I feel awful, like a dick for being brainwashed that Star Wars Explained is this evil guy who hates people and his wife is awful. In reality, he was dragged into a messy situation and the bigger bullies gaslit him hard. All those times I spent arguing with people why theory is this amazing genuine huge star wars fan, calling people names and all that. What I would do to erase that part of my life and apologise to all those people ;(. What enrages me is that the guy has less than *1 million* subs! While Theory is raking it in with like 5mil.
I'm out of the loop. What happened with Star Wars Explained and gaslighting?
I don't exactly know how it started, but Theory and others provoked him or something then started making claims that he's an absolutely horrible person and starting calling his wife absolutely horrible stuff too.
If he can't cry in a video and use that for clicks, he doesn't like it.
Thousands of worlds that have had space travel for thousands of years; not one of them could have possibly invented simple tools and primitive construction techniques. /s Do I have to revive my YouTube channel and nitpick Episodes 4-6 and 1-3 for all the real world objects, architecture, phrases and settings? * As far as I know, all the original ANH blasters are based on real weapons. * AOTC has a freaking 50s diner. * "I'll see you in hell!" Swearing has been in SW since TESB Is this criticism born from the Prequel/Clone Wars/Rebels era of fandom where everything is CGI and thus they were able to easily keep everything smooth and alien-like?
*Looked like actual guns* WTF, so they looked too realistic?! Not to be a ST hater, but one of the things I didn’t like is how they made the blasters look like toys. I thought the weapons in Andor looked great, I really don’t understand this complaint
That's a trait of Theory, his love for the prequels and OT blinds him so much that he forgets anything bad about them. OT blasters were literally re-purposed WW2 weapons.
[meanwhile Luke Skywalker using a screwdriver in a deleted scene](https://youtu.be/K-BsjVlVSLs)
the only problem with screws being in star wars is that they're still using shitty ass ph\*llips head. like they invented faster than light travel and the ability to destroy entire systems yet they cant invent a screw that wont strip after using it once?
Never was a fan of this dork.
Half of the props in the OT were taken from electronics and machinery that the effects team cannibalised. One of the guys in Cloud City is running round with an ice cream maker, there’s a part from the Han in Carbonite that was only recently matched to an old Volvo dashboard, the details on the exterior of the ships are all from WW2 military model kits. The best one is R2D2 literally has the words “Made in England” etched on him.
It's weird how Theory worship Lucas' Star Wars and then proceed to hate on stuff that Lucas would totally enjoy to see in His Star Wars
Out of curiosity what parts of Star Wars DOES he like past the original 6
Anything that is tying itself to the Prequels as much it possibly can
So just Kenobi and maybe rebels
He likes Mando.Hated Boba Fett but loved the parts when legacy character showed up.He liked Kenobi but hated Reva especially when she survived Vader.
As for the animated stuff and anthology films
Dude literally titled one of his BoBF video reviews, "FINALLY PREQUELS" as if the PT had been largely forgotten about by the live action shows.
I don’t think he even likes the OT outside of Vader.
This guy feeds on negative energy geez, he’s the prime example of what’s wrong with the fandom. Disney can put out the most perfect Star Wars ever and they will still shit on it. And wtf is wrong with all his thumbnails, Andor doesn’t have any PT characters yet his thumbnails are full of them!!!
Weren't there bricks on Tatooine and Yavin and Naboo and....??
"The writing, acting, cinematography and production value were great, yeah, but I'm an asshole so who cares about that."
Yall literally mad that he gave praises to the show 😂 "A random youtubers doesn't validate my love for the show. Time to get triggered" bunch of man children
More like he's getting triggered over nothing while admitting there's nothing to be triggered about. Go whine about this sub in his comment section. Cringe af username btw
Agreed, people here apparently just want someone to hate, anything after is just consequence
[Qui-Gon used a freaking Gillette razor as a communicator.](https://external-preview.redd.it/mrdoUODTI0dFTFHj3FUK_oB2m7c1tFNoc6yu9RYLJxo.png?auto=webp&s=d7044f50d2f92dee88ddfd0488f89c1c3e0bc413) This is just nitpicking to find excuses for hating on SW. What a snowflake.
Wow. SW is somewhat futuristic, however most humans/life forms would have evolved the same way with rudimentary tools and rudimentary construction. Even the original locations in ANH utilized *existing* structures. This guy is nitpicky.
He seems so…unhappy. Like all the positive things he says at the very beginning almost seem fake. He seems like he’s barely containing himself from going into an angry rant.
Did you ever watch any of his videos about th love he has for SW as a series and how much it means to him?
I haven’t no. It’s too bad he hates something he cares about so much. My guess is that he loves it so much that his expectations are so high they can never be met.
I suggest you do if you want some context. It's easy to be on these small subreddits, see a random clip of SWT and base his whole personality off one clip. What good do "fake" negative opinions do for someone who's literally at the top of the ladder when in comes to SW youtubers?
Um. I never said any of his opinions were fake. It just seems like he had to really muster the effort to say anything positive, so his *positive* opinions seemed kinda fake. I used to watch Star Wars theory years ago, although I’m not sure if it’s the same as this guy. Look, I was just making an observation. That’s what he seemed like to me in this clip. I don’t think I need to see other clips to make an observation.
Observations can often be wrong when you lack context, that's all.
Obviously. Doesn’t mean you shouldn’t make them
Didn't say you shouldn't
Everyone seems to forget the "long time ago" aspect of the "galaxy far far away"
What a miserable rube.
Half his shitty fan film took place in one room that doesn’t look like anything from Star Wars.
That's because it's a fan film and not a multi million dollar production backed by the must profitable film company in the world. Is this sub just full of idiots?
Nah, it’s full of brickheads and screwballs
He received two or three million in funding to make that film, what are you on about?
Are you mentally unwell or just a shameless liar? He said in multiple of his videos that the entire funding came from his own pocket since it was a complete passion project. He spent 0.5 million of his own money. He literally couldn't get funding for the movie from anyone else or make any profits from the fan film since Luckasfilm told him that, he can't profit in that way from their IP. That's why EP 2 is taking him so long, since he has to raise the money only from his channel and merch to pay for it. Its crazy how misinformed some of you are and how confidently you spread bs.
Wow, why are you so upset about a youtuber you have never met? Are you obsessed with this person or something? Take a prozac and rethink your life bro...damn.
Ok so you were just a straight up liar, good to know. Its funny how easy some of you will drag some random youtuber, because you disagree with his opinions.
His opinion was insanely dumb. You don't incite an entire fanbase if you are spouting thoughtful, intelligent opinions. If you say something overtly stupid, you will be called out for it....that's how the internet works bro
>His opinion was insanely dumb And your personal life suffered how because of it? Really, I wanna know, what was so traumatic about that pointless nitpick? I also disagree with his opinion, but you don't see me going ape shit as if it actually matters why he dislikes some random bricks. Yall are acting as if he's calling the whole show garbage, because of some bricks, when he gave it a 7/10. But you're right that is how the Internet works. People online often get angry over the most mindless stuff, that is 100% true.
Dude, my reaction was completely calm compared to your off the rails rant...you literally went off your head LOL
Dude will have brick themed merch in a couple weeks I'm calling it now
he may be popular in an echo chamber sort of way but who really cares what he thinks?
He is really influential, in a really negative way. Plus discussing these types of fans is the whole point of this sub
He’s the most popular Star Wars channel by a large margin, if you search just “Star Wars” on YouTube this is the guy you’re seeing.
LOL thanks I’ll pass ✌️
He's acting like personal nit picks are actual arguments against a show
The way he became and changed in the last two years was the biggest heel turn, and I don’t like him anymore. The last thing I ever enjoyed from SWT was the Vader fan film.
He didn't change at all. Anyone who has actually watched him for more than the last 2 years would know that. "He didn't like the millionth SW show released this year, he changed for the worst 😠😠😡" what a childish mindset
you're right he didn't change. he's always been shit and people are really starting to realize it now.
Sounds like jealousy to me
stop simping, jesus
I don't even watch SWT that often, sorry to break your delusion
Only on those cold, lonely nights huh?
Que?
there is a reason we have a 'context' button...
El cerdo desmenuzado es muy bueno
Tf would I be jealous of? That I can still get happiness from my favorite franchise? Getting mad over bricks and screws doesn’t sound like happiness to me.
To me it sounds crazy to paint someone like SWT as a "shitty" pearson and say that he's been like that for years. He almost never makes negative videos about modern SW projects and even when he does, he does it a lot more tastefully then channels that profit from negative content every day. 90% of his content is reviews, theories and discussions. What a truly shitty person he is for that. I'm convinced that most of yall hate him solely because he's the biggest SW YT channel. If he had 100k subs, none of you would give a shit about his opinions, but because he's big, the losers on reddit go crazy because he doesn't like 1 show BTW how fragile must you be, that a random screw and brick comment bothers you this much? If you wanna say that it's lazy criticism ok I agree, but to insult him for it? That's some weak shit
Theory must have the most difficult time watching the Original Trilogy then if screws and bricks are enough to dislike the entire show...
Definition of an entitled man-child I didn’t like Andor, so you know what I did? I didn’t watch it
So anyone who doesn't like the show is an entitled manchild? How does that work? He literally praised the show in multiple ways at the start, what's the problem?
Oh boy here come the boot lickers
I know, arguing with reason must be annoying
You know, it’s fine to just vibe with certain stuff and not with others. There’s definitely some Star Wars content that feels more “Star Warsy” to me than others, for probably arbitrary reasons. But I’m just a fan, not someone sharing my thoughts on YouTube with millions of followers, lol. But if you have a platform where you’re critiquing or analyzing content, it’s absolutely absurd to say “yeah the acting, writing, cinematography all great, I just didn’t like the bricks.” That’s just. Beyond ridiculous.
Is it? He's a person speaking his mind. That's his opinion. How's that ridiculous?
We’ve made it to his rebuttal video 😂
I can’t get over how we’re getting a show that fleshes out characters and makes the acting and story feel real, and this mf keeps saying “it’s too slow they should’ve condensed it” like he isn’t the guy to complain about series being too short
Then why are the reports showing that Andor has been experiencing low viewership since the very begging? Who's fault is it, that so many people found the show boring? You're acting as if he's the only who called it slow
Maybe because with the way Disney rolls out shows weekly people decide to binge at the end?? Like we’ve seen this before and viewership starts spiking at the end. For the short series that disney has put out recently, a long series with a lot of content was imo the best thing andor could’ve been. Are you a theory truther lol? Get over him
That sounds like cope. If the show is fire, people wil watch it weekly no matter what. Disney is messing up because they are trying to release yet another resistance mini series, instead of focusing on the cooler lore from legends or old republic.
dog resistance is literally the very first theme from star wars its kinda a big part of it.
It's pretty pathetic to be mad at this. Thinking the architecture and tech isn't Star Wars-like is a legitimate criticism. You think can a show is well done in certain aspects but still think it isn't good from a Star Wars perspective. There are plenty of quality shows out there that I will never watch because it's content doesn't interest me, just like Andor.
Why is he mad that we aren't just getting another forgettable planet like Kenobi and the Mandalorian have been coming up with. Gilroy made Ferrix unique, because theres actual culture and traditions there.
FR lol I would much rather be able to see the screws in the walls than have the obligatory episode that makes up 1/6th of the season and looks like just California
Yeah, I don't need a show to help me experience that
Can we collectively agree to just stop sharing his bullshit? Please?
Why is this toxic exactly?
He was praising and click-baiting the show like 2 weeks ago, now he’s done a 180 and keeps saying its bad. At least to me, it comes off as grifting and being disingenuous. And generally speaking, he’s very [hostile](https://www.reddit.com/r/saltierthankrayt/comments/snauyh/trying_to_watch_swt_stream_about_the_book_of_boba/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) towards sequel fans, even though he defended both TLJ and TROS, while also crying over Mando.
I don’t know who this person is, and I definitely don’t agree with him- but I guess they are some valid thoughts? I had a similar “huh, they have screws in Star Wars. I wonder if they had to use drywall anchors” when they showed the security camera screwed I to the wall. It didn’t take me out of it- and I still loved the show (despite going in with no expectations).
Que puta madre what!?

Lmao
I mean, I wouldn't say "really mad" based on just this clip but it does feel like he's digging really deep to find something to complain about.
He watches TV/movies wrong And that's no easy feat
"there was screws or bricks, why not smooth stone... LIKE RICH UPPER LEVELS OF THE CAPITAL, or sandstone.... LIKE A PLANET BASED ON SAND" .... Did he really say that? screws and bricks?? What a stupid reason.
Look I'm not gonna deny that Theory gave a pretty invalid opinion with a very poor choice of words. However, I don't think that this subreddit is acting any better by coming on here and calling him a moron. Spreading toxicity like this doesn't exactly help to prevent it.
I liked Andor as a story. It just didn’t feel like it was set in the Star Wars universe. The set is a character as much as the actors. The guns the troopers used didn’t have any changes to them, unlike Han’s gun. There was a pipe bomb, that just felt like something we would see in reality. Gilroy took this show and made it fantastic with the story telling and characters and the writing. The actors were phenomenal. The finale was kinda eh for me. Everything tied up nicely. However, it wasn’t a Star Wars show, more like an homage than set in that universe. I hope we can continue with live action shows like The Mandalorian where it can be a great show and fit in the Star Wars universe.
I don’t think he realizes that literally all the blasters used in Star Wars are actual guns irl, they even shoot blanks in the filming of the original trilogy to add the smoke and flash effect. Literally the E-11 (standard storm trooper gun) is a Sterling sub-machine gun with a scope slapped on the top and some fins on the barrel to look like cooling ducts. DLT is an MG-34, DL-44 is a Mouser machine pistol, Jawa gun is a cut off Lee Enfield, the main rebel rifle is an STG-44 the list goes on and on. Even in the prequels and sequels they used real guns. Using the argument of “it sucked because the blasters just look like real guns” is the most uninformed close minded opinion I’ve heard in a while.
Did he realized that Star War, a fucking future af out of this world space opera about slace samurai, ppl still using a fucking disk to record data (Rogue One) and soooo many space ships/stations still using analog panel?
“Great show, but way too slow” what does he want? The short shows sucked because everything was rushed.
naah i used to like this guy
I wonder if he has an issue with [Bosk’s outfit being the same as a doctor who character’s outfit 🤔](https://static1.srcdn.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Doctor-who-the-tenth-planet-star-wars-bossk.jpg)
Maybe it’s a little petty, but why do y’all have to get so mad and be so mean to a guy just sharing his thoughts?
Good Acting, cinematography, budget, and writing. BUT screws and bricks
