At least not yet.
Nobody seems to wanna mention that at this point, nobody in this scene knows that they're sith. You guys are literally making up reasons to hate this show. Ki Adi Mundi's age is a stupid retcon I agree, but he never discovers these siths existence
You can make all the head-canon up that you want, but the fact is that the writers included Ki-Adi Mundi in this episode and his name is in the credits, meaning they are almost intentionally trying to ruin the canon
Where is the problem ? Vernestra and Sol and WE don't know if the dude with the red lightsaber is a sith or not (and in episode 4 their first idea is that's a dissident The Sith were actually not Mention at all in the 4 episode so stop being stupid for no reason
Sith was never mentioned. They think Mae was possibly trained by a rogue Jedi but even then they don't know. We don't know what happens to the Jedi who run into the Sith - they may all die by the end of the series.
They might all die and it might turn out Darth Smiley isn’t a Sith at all, but just based on what we know so far from the series it conflicts with the existing lore. Hopefully it will all be rectified by the end of the show!
@@bmarshy How it conflicts with canon? No one is assuming this dude is a sith, the sith haven't been on any jedi's minds since a thousand of years ago, why would they even consider the possibility? No surviving jedi will even hear the word sith be uttered. Hell, that's if the sith tell anyone what they are, which I doubt will happen, exactly because that, and olny then, it would break canon. Now, as it stands, it does not.
Ki Adi doesn't have amnesia; Acolyte haters have ADD, lol; Ki Adi hadn't even seen the 'Sith Lord' yet. None of them had at this point in the episode. How can he forget something he hasn't even seen yet? Lol!
No they said a rogue Jedi or ‘something worse’ Also it doesn’t seem that far of a logical leap (Plus it feels like they are deliberately not saying it for that reason specifically. “Well we never said it…” Even though Mae has been taught the code of the Sith which Sol possibly knows after he read her mind) And obviously there’s still 4 eps to go, so it could get better though it seems like it may get worse, we will see ^^
@@ZenMonkeyGodbackwater female communes having their own interpretation of the force is *fine* The fact they describe it and use it practically identically to the Jedi and the force which they hate is hilarious imo (I don’t want to touch force conception with a ten foot pole until Mae’s flashback / the end of the season)
@deltaforce4361 to us, yes. But they're still not calling them sith. My guess is anyone they finds out that's he's a sith, people are going to die. Lol. They're not supposed to be found out yet so for the story line to hold up, some people have to die I would think.
First, Ki Adi Mundi's age was only confirmed in a Legends story and is not canon so that squashes that complaint. Second we do not know if Qimir is even a Sith.
I don’t remember him ever being corrupt, but perhaps it’s something in legends you’re thinking of? He was always portrayed as being a little bit arrogant, but this show in particular is making all the Jedi look overly arrogant, selfish, and corrupt beyond the point that they should even be able to use the force at all.
The writers deliberately put Ki Adi Mundi in this series just to piss us off and get us angry. What other reason why they would put the one character who proclaim the sith were extinct for millennia in the Jedi’s point of view? These writers hate us. They don’t care about the product or the fans, they just want a reaction that they cannot get by simply being human.
they have no reason for them to think they're a sith. the so-called "real fans" screeching about this don't even know not everyone with a red lightsaber is a sith
Episode 1 makes no sense: if its common for nightsisters to create life with hte force and there have been sith like 70 years ago nothing about anakin or darth maul is worth special interest anymore.
**Hearing the voice** That’s not Ki-Adi-Mundi. How do I know? Because I have ears, lol. I grew up with the Prequels, I heard/read that “droid attack on the Wookiees” meme a million times, I know what he sounds like. **See credit** Ah, that’s Derek Arnold, not Silas Carson; who I’ve known since 1999 also plays Nute Gunray and Antidar Williams; “Captain, look!” “Shields up!” **Blasted dead**. He also played Lott Dod; the Neimoidian who’s all like “I object! There is no proof!” Like I don’t know what Leslye is trying to pull putting his name in the credits, but it didn’t even cross my mind that that’s Ki-Adi-Mundi, as there’s more than one Cerean in the galaxy.
Not every dark jedi is a Sith. Sith is a rather specific term. In the period of The Acolyte, Siths rather try to stay hidden than try to murder some Jedi
when it comes to a dark side Force-user wielding a red lightsaber who kills Jedi and is training an acolyte, what name they go by is inconsequential. The argument that this scene is at all justified because "they aren't specifically a Sith, sooo..." is like walking into a jungle and being chased by an alligator and screaming "AGH! crocodile!" and then someone correcting you by saying, "well actually, it's an alligator, sooo...". So whether the master identifies as a 'sith' or not doesn't matter when they display all the characteristics of a Sith and therefore ARE a sith in all but name. To the Jedi, it shouldnt be such a big distinction, because even if by the end of the show it turns out that the master ISNT a sith, then his presence, his ability to use the dark side, the fact that he is training an acolyte, and his mysterious appearance all suggest that he is related to the sith in one way or another, or is at least just as bad as one
@@bmarshyI dont like modern Disney SW and acolyte, but to my knowledge the Sith are members of a specific Dark-Side focused religious order, who were not seen in millennia. So it makes more sense that they would expect it to be some go rogue Jedi who trained these, then long lost Sith Master resurfacing from nowhere. Plus at this point, it can still end up being like this. We don't know who The Master really is. The sith could be just a mask. ;)
I'm not saying the Acolyte is all that good, but where in that scene was there any mention of Sith? If nothing else, Qui Gon saying it's a Sith, and Ki Adi saying that's bullshit just further proves that he didn't think it was a Sith in the Acolyte. C'mon people.
Firstly, he’s listed in the credits as Ki Adi Mundi which means it was an intentional decision by the writers. Secondly, Qimir literally says he’s a Sith. And although they’re only watching a hologram of Mae - who isn’t a Sith - they suspect she was trained by someone much more powerful in the dark side than her, as they say in the episode. I question your motives for trying to defend this show…
The simple answer is the bad guy in this stupid show isn't going to be a Sith. It's going to be a Jedi. Stupid? Yes. But they have to escape this somehow.
Ki-Adi Mundi has not been the same since 2004. Went from being a badass in the animated CW, to not caring about his race/family, to worrying about the droid attacks on the Wookies, to having alzheimers.
Bro, wtf, why are people still crying? SW is over for a long time, why people still watching and crying about it. If you love sw so much just read the books and expanded universe stuff, it's greate
they don't like star wars, they like to sit on their keyboard and bitch and moan. no one cared about the jedi with the dick for a head until they found something to complain about (his birthday, something NO ONE knew until last week). this "fandom" is pathetic
And now Episode 5's here in all it's dumpster fire glory. I'm dropping The Acolyte. I gave the show its fair chance as I do any other show, but it's just not it. If I continue, it would only devolve further into a hate-watch and that's a waste of time in the end.
I get the complaints about this show, but I don't know why people bring this up. At this point there was no confirmation that anyone was a Sith. Just because there's a "bad guy" with the force doesn't mean they're Sith.
@@natem9080 that is like a person being attacked by an alligator in a river and screaming “AGH! CROCODILE!” and then someone saying “wELL aCtUaLLy tHaTs aN aLLigAtOr”. And there is plenty of confirmation that they are Sith. For one, Qimir literally says he’s a Sith. Secondly, Darth Plagueis is in the final episode which means that either Qimir is a Sith or he’s at least pretending to be one and caught the attention of the real Sith. Either way it is illogical writing.
@@bmarshy I said "At this point there was no confirmation" meaning at the point that Ki-Adi was involved. Yes, confirmation of a Sith is obvious later, but all Mundi knows is that someone with the force was killing Jedi. Which, funny enough, lines up with Mundi's reaction in the phantom menace too. Qui-Gon gets attacked by Maul, but he's still in denial about it being a Sith.
@@bmarshy Your points about Qimir and Plagueis are totally irrelevant to the conversation. Those scenes confirm to us the viewers that there's a sith (duh), and to the Jedi that were actually there. Need I remind you that Mundi was NOT THERE for either of those two things.
@@pointcuration1278It's factually canon, cope. Also by your logic, Rogue One, Mandalorian, Andor, TCW Season 7, Rebels, Bad Batch, the Thrawn novels and Vader comics are not canon.
@@pointcuration1278 Your mental gymnastics are tho. You do realise that the creator was the one who gave them the permission to change the canon outside his movies, right?
It feels like they did this intentionally. He is literally the one in The Phantom Menace who says the Sith have been extinct for a thousand years and they literally retconned his age and his entire species to appear in this episode to purposely retcon what he said in that film??? Are they purposely trying to destroy the Jedi now???
@@AizawaYuukio9784 I really don't understand why everyone got so up in a tizzy about that. If it was a writer then yeah that's pretty bad, but he's an actor. He doesn't NEED to know anything about the Skywalker Saga to do his job effectively. His entire character and story is taking place 100 years before Anakin is even born. Is it kinda common knowledge for pop culture? Yeah sure, and I'm kinda shocked anybody in the mainstream media doesn't know that, but it's really not the end of the world scenario everyone's treating it as.
It is not pretty obvious that Acolyte's Ki adi mundi will be part of the cover of the sith of some sort of stuff in that way? I mean, literally because of what you said.
His age is no Retcon since he didn't have a Birth Year in the Canon All legends information won't be canonise as the same (and actually in Legends the info was given by some random Computer program (Star Wars: Episode I Insider's Guide))
I mean, if Disney can easily reject legends and say that their movies and tv shows are canon just by saying so, we can easily reject Disney Star Wars canon and accept legends just by saying so.
Has a red lightsaber, wears black robes and uses the dark side of the Force. Is also responsible for the deaths of multiple Jedi. I’m sorry, but this SCREAMS Sith. There’s no other way to describe this character
@@bmarshyIt's actually great writing. 1) Even if it is a Sith, there is no indication that Ki Adi Mundi knows that. The Jedi literally say that they think Mae was trained by a member of their order gone rogue. 2) Being blind to the coming darkness and the existence of the Sith is literally one of the main flaws of the Jedi. In Tales of the Jedi Dooku says "I've been warning about the coming darkness for years". The Jedi don't listen, they think Dooku is jumping to conclusions. By showing Ki Adi Mundi in denial about the Sith, they further emphasize that flaw in the Jedi Order
Since everyone is so dead set on using Ki-Adi's Legends age, let's use Legends lore to explain why the timeline hasn't been contradicted yet. There were non-Sith Darksiders who popped up during the 1000 years between Bane and Palpatine. Notably one of Yoda's species fought a Darksider on Dagobah and led to the creation of the Dark Side Cave there. There seems to be a misconception that being a Darksider automatically makes you a Sith. Sith is a philosophical code based in the Dark Side, it is not the Dark Side itself. Ki-Adi has no evidence to suggest that this particular masked Darksider is a follower of Sith Philosophy. As far as the Jedi know, all Sith teachings have either been destroyed or are under lock and key. From an in-universe Jedi perspective, it doesn't make sense for this man to be a Sith. The Acolyte has not been good. There are a lot of issues with the writing and with the direction. But let's not hyperfocus on the lore issues that actually are not issues okay?
The only excuse i’ve seen for this is that he never had a said canon age in the movie and that his age was only ever said in the now non-canon books. Still doesnt seen right to have him be here
I was just thinking about this the whole time while watching the acolyte. I blame Disney for not getting their facts straight and trying to retcon things.
Now all of you who couldn't wait for the rest of the series. Memeing about amnesia. If you just think about it there would be some explanation as to why. And we got it. All Jedi who faced the Sith are dead. The potential apprentice memory wiped. And the one Jedi who learned about the truth through force echoes covered up the story as it was her former Padawan who was behind.
Haven't been watching the show because I don't hate myself, but I'm guessing they're going to reveal that Smilo isn't a true Sith for the sake of consistency. But then again, maybe I'm giving them way too much credit here.
That seems to be the way they’re going, but that just makes him and the entire Jedi council look like the bad guys. Plus what reason would he have to lie in the prequels if Qui-Gon has already encountered a Sith? Surely he would warn the council and tell them everything he and the other Jedi discovered 100 years prior
@@bmarshy Sure. But maybe there's a reason for his secrecy. The Acolyte show will show that the fall of the Jedi has already begun, and what is clear later (The Last Jedi, Luke) that the Jedi's arrogance was their weakness. But I think we haven't seen it all yet.
@@mortensteenvejrupmadsen1542 Agreed. I don't understand how everybody's up in arms about Ki-Adi potentially doing a coverup - The entire series starting with New Hope shows that the Jedi have always been arrogant liars, so I think it would be completely in line to have him do that. Also, personal preference here, but the Jedi order having serious character flaws like these is just...more interesting than if they were all just generic good guys with swords.
Damn crazy how by the end of the show the jedi are unaware of any sith dealings and only Vernastra is aware of Qimir and simply thinks hes a fallen jedi. But no questions must not be asked and we must only be shown answers because thats how good stories are writtrn 🙄
You do realize there was no proof andara ever contacted the council, this is further backed by the fact the green skin chick didn’t know about Mae, it would help if you anti fans actually payed attention or watched it
They don't know that it's a Sith there what are you talking about?? They never mentioned anything about the Sith people just be creating problems for nothing.
@@bmarshyI watched them and he's not in those episodes though, it doesn't say anything about him in them, what are u talking about. The show isn't even done yet its already starting to explain it.
To be fair Ki Adi Mundi is an actual ass hole Jedi I don’t blame the clones killing him order 66 or with out someone would of done it eventually guys an ass wipe
Granted the acolyes writing is mid but Ki-adi mundi sees the attacker on hologram btw no red lightsaber, no darkside force usage nothing pointing towards a sith. So he has no reason to believe its a sith
Until Sol will supposedly return to Coruscant in episode 6 and tell everybody that he just encountered a dude who could use the force, wore a mask, and wielded a red lightsaber to kill like 12 Jedi and who called himself a sith. The writers are going to need some genius strategy to get themselves out of this whole which, judging by the quality of the show so far, is unlikely to happen

Meanwhile, the master has been all Sithy, red lightsaber, and even taught Mae how to fight like a Jedi, how would the Jedi just think it’s one of the thousands of Dark Side cults and not the return of their ancient enemy?
Actually as far as he knows master sol went rouge and killed the jedi at khofar cause venestra covered everything up perhaps you should wait for the story to play out before you condemn it and by the say ki adi mundis birthday was never cannon it was listed in a non cannon 2001 cd and a non cannon 2013 magazine he had no cannon birthday so your not making a big deal out of something little your making a big deal out of nothing

I can totally see that happening.

Nobody seems to wanna mention that at this point, nobody in this scene knows that they're sith. You guys are literally making up reasons to hate this show. Ki Adi Mundi's age is a stupid retcon I agree, but he never discovers these siths existence
Dame dude lost alot of weight
I think I know why...and that is deniability...
They don't know that there is a sith yet.
That isnt Ki-adi-mundi, its just another person of the same race. They dont live that long.
You can make all the head-canon up that you want, but the fact is that the writers included Ki-Adi Mundi in this episode and his name is in the credits, meaning they are almost intentionally trying to ruin the canon
@@bmarshy jedi are incompetent. they had a sith lord under their nose all the time
Where is the problem ? Vernestra and Sol and WE don't know if the dude with the red lightsaber is a sith or not (and in episode 4 their first idea is that's a dissident
The Sith were actually not Mention at all in the 4 episode so stop being stupid for no reason
Sith was never mentioned. They think Mae was possibly trained by a rogue Jedi but even then they don't know.
We don't know what happens to the Jedi who run into the Sith - they may all die by the end of the series.
They might all die and it might turn out Darth Smiley isn’t a Sith at all, but just based on what we know so far from the series it conflicts with the existing lore. Hopefully it will all be rectified by the end of the show!
@@bmarshy How it conflicts with canon? No one is assuming this dude is a sith, the sith haven't been on any jedi's minds since a thousand of years ago, why would they even consider the possibility? No surviving jedi will even hear the word sith be uttered. Hell, that's if the sith tell anyone what they are, which I doubt will happen, exactly because that, and olny then, it would break canon. Now, as it stands, it does not.
@@bmarshy and they all die XD
Ki Adi doesn't have amnesia; Acolyte haters have ADD, lol; Ki Adi hadn't even seen the 'Sith Lord' yet. None of them had at this point in the episode. How can he forget something he hasn't even seen yet? Lol!
This seems to be rather in character for him
have they even said sith in the acolyte yet?
No but they sure did change the Force to 'tHe ThReAd'
No they said a rogue Jedi or ‘something worse’
Also it doesn’t seem that far of a logical leap
(Plus it feels like they are deliberately not saying it for that reason specifically. “Well we never said it…” Even though Mae has been taught the code of the Sith which Sol possibly knows after he read her mind)
And obviously there’s still 4 eps to go, so it could get better though it seems like it may get worse, we will see ^^
@@ZenMonkeyGodbackwater female communes having their own interpretation of the force is *fine*
The fact they describe it and use it practically identically to the Jedi and the force which they hate is hilarious imo
(I don’t want to touch force conception with a ten foot pole until Mae’s flashback / the end of the season)
@@ZenMonkeyGod I like seeing the force from a different perspective.
@deltaforce4361 to us, yes. But they're still not calling them sith. My guess is anyone they finds out that's he's a sith, people are going to die. Lol. They're not supposed to be found out yet so for the story line to hold up, some people have to die I would think.
Reject the Disney Universe and the Expanded Universe, embrace the George Lucas canon.
First, Ki Adi Mundi's age was only confirmed in a Legends story and is not canon so that squashes that complaint. Second we do not know if Qimir is even a Sith.
@@badangpatang dude people keep saying this but episode 5 came out TWOOO WEEKS AGO and he literally says he’s a Sith
@@bmarshy Qimir doesn't even claim that he is a Sith. He says he is not anything, but the Jedi may call him a Sith.
And he using Trakata, a Lightsaber style which is forbidden by the sith too
First, this show is awful and shouldn’t be taken seriously
To be fair, smiley was no sith.
i mean, Ki-Adi Mundi was corrupt after all, or did i hear/remember that incorrectly? 🤔🤔
I don’t remember him ever being corrupt, but perhaps it’s something in legends you’re thinking of?
He was always portrayed as being a little bit arrogant, but this show in particular is making all the Jedi look overly arrogant, selfish, and corrupt beyond the point that they should even be able to use the force at all.
The writers deliberately put Ki Adi Mundi in this series just to piss us off and get us angry. What other reason why they would put the one character who proclaim the sith were extinct for millennia in the Jedi’s point of view? These writers hate us. They don’t care about the product or the fans, they just want a reaction that they cannot get by simply being human.
they have no reason for them to think they're a sith. the so-called "real fans" screeching about this don't even know not everyone with a red lightsaber is a sith
I mean… what if he’s a Junior? Lol
Episode 1 makes no sense: if its common for nightsisters to create life with hte force and there have been sith like 70 years ago nothing about anakin or darth maul is worth special interest anymore.
**Hearing the voice** That’s not Ki-Adi-Mundi. How do I know? Because I have ears, lol. I grew up with the Prequels, I heard/read that “droid attack on the Wookiees” meme a million times, I know what he sounds like.
**See credit** Ah, that’s Derek Arnold, not Silas Carson; who I’ve known since 1999 also plays Nute Gunray and Antidar Williams; “Captain, look!” “Shields up!” **Blasted dead**. He also played Lott Dod; the Neimoidian who’s all like “I object! There is no proof!”
Like I don’t know what Leslye is trying to pull putting his name in the credits, but it didn’t even cross my mind that that’s Ki-Adi-Mundi, as there’s more than one Cerean in the galaxy.
Can credits even be considered canon?
it could be form of speech no ?
Move along, everyone, it's just Disney again, writing non-fan fiction.
Not every dark jedi is a Sith. Sith is a rather specific term. In the period of The Acolyte, Siths rather try to stay hidden than try to murder some Jedi
when it comes to a dark side Force-user wielding a red lightsaber who kills Jedi and is training an acolyte, what name they go by is inconsequential. The argument that this scene is at all justified because "they aren't specifically a Sith, sooo..." is like walking into a jungle and being chased by an alligator and screaming "AGH! crocodile!" and then someone correcting you by saying, "well actually, it's an alligator, sooo...".
So whether the master identifies as a 'sith' or not doesn't matter when they display all the characteristics of a Sith and therefore ARE a sith in all but name. To the Jedi, it shouldnt be such a big distinction, because even if by the end of the show it turns out that the master ISNT a sith, then his presence, his ability to use the dark side, the fact that he is training an acolyte, and his mysterious appearance all suggest that he is related to the sith in one way or another, or is at least just as bad as one
@@bmarshyI dont like modern Disney SW and acolyte, but to my knowledge the Sith are members of a specific Dark-Side focused religious order, who were not seen in millennia. So it makes more sense that they would expect it to be some go rogue Jedi who trained these, then long lost Sith Master resurfacing from nowhere. Plus at this point, it can still end up being like this. We don't know who The Master really is. The sith could be just a mask. ;)
It's not story jedi would told you.
The Acolyte is a dumpster 🔥
I'm not saying the Acolyte is all that good, but where in that scene was there any mention of Sith? If nothing else, Qui Gon saying it's a Sith, and Ki Adi saying that's bullshit just further proves that he didn't think it was a Sith in the Acolyte. C'mon people.
It could be just not him and some other conehead, but also it literally isn't a sith.
Firstly, he’s listed in the credits as Ki Adi Mundi which means it was an intentional decision by the writers.
Secondly, Qimir literally says he’s a Sith. And although they’re only watching a hologram of Mae - who isn’t a Sith - they suspect she was trained by someone much more powerful in the dark side than her, as they say in the episode.
I question your motives for trying to defend this show…
The simple answer is the bad guy in this stupid show isn't going to be a Sith. It's going to be a Jedi. Stupid? Yes. But they have to escape this somehow.
Ki-Adi Mundi has not been the same since 2004. Went from being a badass in the animated CW, to not caring about his race/family, to worrying about the droid attacks on the Wookies, to having alzheimers.
It's not him, it's Disney that can't write for shit
Jedi lie and people die.
Bro, wtf, why are people still crying? SW is over for a long time, why people still watching and crying about it. If you love sw so much just read the books and expanded universe stuff, it's greate
they don't like star wars, they like to sit on their keyboard and bitch and moan. no one cared about the jedi with the dick for a head until they found something to complain about (his birthday, something NO ONE knew until last week). this "fandom" is pathetic
To be fair he never said she was a sith. You can be a darkside force user without being a sith
watch episode 5
@@bmarshy he claims he is a sith. just like a man claims to be a woman
And now Episode 5's here in all it's dumpster fire glory. I'm dropping The Acolyte. I gave the show its fair chance as I do any other show, but it's just not it. If I continue, it would only devolve further into a hate-watch and that's a waste of time in the end.
I get the complaints about this show, but I don't know why people bring this up. At this point there was no confirmation that anyone was a Sith. Just because there's a "bad guy" with the force doesn't mean they're Sith.
@@natem9080 that is like a person being attacked by an alligator in a river and screaming “AGH! CROCODILE!” and then someone saying “wELL aCtUaLLy tHaTs aN aLLigAtOr”.
And there is plenty of confirmation that they are Sith. For one, Qimir literally says he’s a Sith. Secondly, Darth Plagueis is in the final episode which means that either Qimir is a Sith or he’s at least pretending to be one and caught the attention of the real Sith. Either way it is illogical writing.
@@bmarshy I said "At this point there was no confirmation" meaning at the point that Ki-Adi was involved. Yes, confirmation of a Sith is obvious later, but all Mundi knows is that someone with the force was killing Jedi. Which, funny enough, lines up with Mundi's reaction in the phantom menace too. Qui-Gon gets attacked by Maul, but he's still in denial about it being a Sith.
@@bmarshy Your points about Qimir and Plagueis are totally irrelevant to the conversation. Those scenes confirm to us the viewers that there's a sith (duh), and to the Jedi that were actually there. Need I remind you that Mundi was NOT THERE for either of those two things.
I know Mundi is stupid but I'd assume he knows the difference between a hundred and a thousand years. Also, Ki-Adi, you haven't been born yet.
They literally don’t mention the sith once in that scene. People are taking it a bit out of proportion.
This show is trash, that's all.
Doesn’t sound like him. And it’s 100 years later not 75 years later
He doesn’t have amnesia, Disney Canon is not the same as GL canon. This is clearly a Walmart version of Ki Adi-Mundi.
Even the practical effects look like they’re from Walmart
Disney Star Wars is non canon. Simple as that.

Are they purposely trying to destroy the Jedi now???

Anakin destroyed the Death Star.
@@AizawaYuukio9784 I really don't understand why everyone got so up in a tizzy about that. If it was a writer then yeah that's pretty bad, but he's an actor. He doesn't NEED to know anything about the Skywalker Saga to do his job effectively. His entire character and story is taking place 100 years before Anakin is even born. Is it kinda common knowledge for pop culture? Yeah sure, and I'm kinda shocked anybody in the mainstream media doesn't know that, but it's really not the end of the world scenario everyone's treating it as.
It is not pretty obvious that Acolyte's Ki adi mundi will be part of the cover of the sith of some sort of stuff in that way? I mean, literally because of what you said.
His age is no Retcon since he didn't have a Birth Year in the Canon
All legends information won't be canonise as the same
(and actually in Legends the info was given by some random Computer program (Star Wars: Episode I Insider's Guide))

Than stop calling it canon. Legends are canon
@@Gouken.07 George Lucas always rejected Legends, stop crying. The series is entertaining; it’s not perfect, but it’s very Star Wars.
There are theories that the master isnt a sith lord, and is simply a dark side user. Or the jedi Will cover up the entire incident featuring him
Either way it seems like an excuse to cover up their poor writing and creative decisions
Has a red lightsaber, wears black robes and uses the dark side of the Force. Is also responsible for the deaths of multiple Jedi. I’m sorry, but this SCREAMS Sith. There’s no other way to describe this character
@@Ethan-hk8setheir were several dark Jedi at this time.
@@bmarshyIt's actually great writing. 1) Even if it is a Sith, there is no indication that Ki Adi Mundi knows that. The Jedi literally say that they think Mae was trained by a member of their order gone rogue. 2) Being blind to the coming darkness and the existence of the Sith is literally one of the main flaws of the Jedi. In Tales of the Jedi Dooku says "I've been warning about the coming darkness for years". The Jedi don't listen, they think Dooku is jumping to conclusions. By showing Ki Adi Mundi in denial about the Sith, they further emphasize that flaw in the Jedi Order
@@malchalati dark jedi ARE sith.
It's just another word for it.
Since everyone is so dead set on using Ki-Adi's Legends age, let's use Legends lore to explain why the timeline hasn't been contradicted yet. There were non-Sith Darksiders who popped up during the 1000 years between Bane and Palpatine. Notably one of Yoda's species fought a Darksider on Dagobah and led to the creation of the Dark Side Cave there.
There seems to be a misconception that being a Darksider automatically makes you a Sith. Sith is a philosophical code based in the Dark Side, it is not the Dark Side itself. Ki-Adi has no evidence to suggest that this particular masked Darksider is a follower of Sith Philosophy. As far as the Jedi know, all Sith teachings have either been destroyed or are under lock and key. From an in-universe Jedi perspective, it doesn't make sense for this man to be a Sith.
The Acolyte has not been good. There are a lot of issues with the writing and with the direction. But let's not hyperfocus on the lore issues that actually are not issues okay?
The only excuse i’ve seen for this is that he never had a said canon age in the movie and that his age was only ever said in the now non-canon books. Still doesnt seen right to have him be here
I was just thinking about this the whole time while watching the acolyte. I blame Disney for not getting their facts straight and trying to retcon things.
hahaha when you pull out ki adi mundis obscure age only establised in legends and Forget NO ONE in the acolyte told him SITH
This gives credibility to the theory that the are trying to retcon the prequels
Now all of you who couldn't wait for the rest of the series. Memeing about amnesia.
If you just think about it there would be some explanation as to why. And we got it. All Jedi who faced the Sith are dead. The potential apprentice memory wiped. And the one Jedi who learned about the truth through force echoes covered up the story as it was her former Padawan who was behind.
His voice acting in the acolyte is awful.
Haven't been watching the show because I don't hate myself, but I'm guessing they're going to reveal that Smilo isn't a true Sith for the sake of consistency. But then again, maybe I'm giving them way too much credit here.
At what point did he say he suspected it was a Sith Lord in the acolyte?
At none. But fanatics must find something to spark a fire of hatred towards Disney and modern Star Wars.
I think that Ki-Adi i hiding something, and lying in The Phantom Menace.
That seems to be the way they’re going, but that just makes him and the entire Jedi council look like the bad guys. Plus what reason would he have to lie in the prequels if Qui-Gon has already encountered a Sith? Surely he would warn the council and tell them everything he and the other Jedi discovered 100 years prior
@@bmarshy Sure. But maybe there's a reason for his secrecy.
The Acolyte show will show that the fall of the Jedi has already begun, and what is clear later (The Last Jedi, Luke) that the Jedi's arrogance was their weakness.
But I think we haven't seen it all yet.
@@mortensteenvejrupmadsen1542 Agreed. I don't understand how everybody's up in arms about Ki-Adi potentially doing a coverup - The entire series starting with New Hope shows that the Jedi have always been arrogant liars, so I think it would be completely in line to have him do that.
Also, personal preference here, but the Jedi order having serious character flaws like these is just...more interesting than if they were all just generic good guys with swords.

Damn crazy how by the end of the show the jedi are unaware of any sith dealings and only Vernastra is aware of Qimir and simply thinks hes a fallen jedi. But no questions must not be asked and we must only be shown answers because thats how good stories are writtrn 🙄

Granted the acolyes writing is mid but Ki-adi mundi sees the attacker on hologram btw no red lightsaber, no darkside force usage nothing pointing towards a sith. So he has no reason to believe its a sith
Until Sol will supposedly return to Coruscant in episode 6 and tell everybody that he just encountered a dude who could use the force, wore a mask, and wielded a red lightsaber to kill like 12 Jedi and who called himself a sith.
