Let’s give it up to Alex. This dude works so hard on this channel (so does Mollie), is always on point, informative, honest, and remains positive and passionate. The only Star Wars channel I personally care about anymore. Thanks to all you do.
He's dedicated and he dose it for us. I think I would burn out after 2 weeks if I tried.
hear hear! they’re the only channel that manages to tow the line between criticism and appraisal, offering their own opinions as well as others to create neutral grounds for discussion. best star wars creators out there!
I'm always amazed by his episode reviews. He's a true walking Star Wars encyclopedia. He's got an uncanny ability to notice minute, but significant details and tie them back to previous minute, significant details in the series and overall Star Wars universe - and he puts these out incredibly quickly, and with great production value. And he's the best kind of fan - passionate but not fanatical - he loves this stuff, but he's also not afraid to say something is 'meh' if he doesn't *love*-love it.
I would 100% give a chance to Wave Squadron (same guys from Blind Wave channel of reactions). Eric and Aaron are great, funny, have a deep love for Star Wars and even when they are debating stuff they disagree with each other they have fun doing it while being respectful for the content and people who enjoy it.
The only one that isnt toxic af, too.
Alex plugging his canon timeline 😂😂
Got to respect the hustle. And it doesn’t hurt that it’s always on point with a chef’s kiss
Twin sister that’s revealed to not actually be a twin sister but a (fictional) split personality thing, could be wild. If they mess with our perception of the passing of time correctly, we could assume we’re following a sister, maybe they give her a different name and vibe to throw us off, and then realizing it’s always been her.
Dude that's awesome. I was not thrilled about the good/bad twins leak since it sounds a bit cliche, but split personalities formed through her childhood trauma sounds intriguing.
Man that sounds pretty awesome! I really hope they go with the split personalities concept!
Leslye Headland did say in an interview with Entertainment Weekly that the series is something like "Frozen meets Kill Bill". Since the story of Fronzen is about the relashionship of two sisters, I tend to believe that Alex is right about Mae having a twin sister on the show!
Ooh that makes sense especially if one sister has Force powers and one doesn't
Strange way of describing it, but still sounds interesting.
Apparently Sith/Dark Siders wearing menacing black helmets/masks is a timeless classic.
In Legends it sure was. Revan, Malak, Nihilus, Malgus, Bane all had some sick helmets/masks.
You shouldn’t really count Malak because his doesn’t count as a mask it’s a prosthetic jaw after Revan cut it off
Calling it now, the Jedi will come to the conclusion the coven of witches where the ones behind the murders and the sith have not returned. Of course we will know a sith was manipulating everything.
Yeah, and it could be possible to just assume that these were a bunch of dark Jedi or a sith cult. So the real Sith still are able to stay in the shadows but cut all ties with a cult or group that can just be chalked up to dark side worshipers.
The outline on the mask on the big bad kinda looks like Abeloth teeth.
Yoda did know that the Sith were not wiped out 1000 years prior to the Phantom menace as he knew about the Rule of 2 (Quigon's funeral) which did not happen until after the Sith were supposedly wiped out 1000 years ago
That is exactly why I think Yoda will appear in the acolyte with this show telling the story of how he and the jedi of that time learn of the rule of two and dismisses it as ravings of a mad woman. (I also think that Darth Tenebrous and Darth Plagueis could be the masterminds financing the coven of witches through their public disguises as Rugess Nome and Hego Damask and that they likely swayed Mae to the dark side so they could use her as an assassin like how Plagueis and Sidious used Maul. Long story short the Jedi start investigating the coven and Mae starts killing them to avoid the jedi discovering the siths connections and learning of the grand plan which probes the Jedi furher into this mystery)
Lol not Alex plugging his canon update video again🤣🤣🤣 keep it up, I laugh every time and it makes my day
Don’t just laugh! Go watch it, support the man! Haha
We should all watch it for every time he plugs it. Honestly.
Its interesting what Alex said about the jedi maybe defeating the red lightsaber wielder and thinking that they dont need to cause an alarm to the rest of the republic about the sith being back, because that is exactly something Yaddle said in episode 4 of Tales of the Jedi. Right after Qui Gon's first confrontatiom with Maul, Yaddle say to Dooku she believes that Sith may have come back, but they need to keep that a secret until they knew more
I doubt it it'll ever happen but I want a glimpse at the sith shrine. They have the perfect opportunity here.
that would be cool to see!
"History is written by the victors" and the jedi personify that perfectly.
After seeing TPM yesterday, I could 100% belive Yoda and Mace knew of something by the glance they exchange when Qui-Gon says he think it was the Sith that attacked him
Yeah. George Lucas wrote I believe in the script for The Phantom Menace, as well as in the Novelization, that there were suspicions about the Sith for centuries, and that they knew to some small extent about Darth Bane, but not much beyond, nor did they want to come to conclusions lest public panic ensue.
I love your work Alex (and Mollie). You are so positive about the show, even if the darkness rises under the comment section of the trailers.
I try (yeah I know there is no try) to avoid the negative sounds but it is really hard. But I am so happy, there is a peace place on YT, where I can find positive point of view. Thanks.
About the trailer. I'm a big fan of High Republic. I already finished Phase 1 and 2, and I cannot think other but what the Jedi Counsel did at the end of Phase 2. They just covered up what happend on Dalna. Nobody knows nothing. In Mission to Disaster which takes place on Dalna too, we learned there was something in the past, and the people of Dalna blame the Jedi. What if they will do this again after the meet of the Sith?
I love the metaphoric about the Jedi Temple. That was my first thought too when I saw this shot.
I really like the feeling, absolutely THR wibe. I am really excited about this show, I hope it will be succesful despite the negative response.
Wouldnt be the first time Ki Adi Mundi was wrong about something.
Obviously the Sith HADN'T been extinct for a millennium, because we already saw Sidious and Maul. Why would we take Ki-Adi-Mundi's word?
I really hope this show hits the mark because it is SO important to the future of Star Wars. To this point, every canon on screen story plays into the Skywalker Saga and while that’s great, Lucasfilm needs to prove that it can create great stories in this universe without relying on the timeline between Phantom Menace and Rise of Skywalker.
Well, Disney still hasn't made a great story in a decade, so I wouldn't keep my hopes up
@@idiot_city5244 bruh what?
@@OrionInSpace can you read? Disney hasn't made anything great in the decade they've been releasing SW content... not hard to understand
@@idiot_city5244 so you need to tell me that none of the animated stuff or something like Andor is good?
@@idiot_city5244a decade? Andor came out in 2022
I hope the Sith in this is another alien race, rather than human again.
Could be Darth Tenebrous. Also all of the races in star wars are aliens 😁.
The angry "fans" screaming about this show breaking canon have forgotten that even at thee time, we KNEW the jedi were wrong about the sith being extinct.
I wonder if the show will tackle the beginning of Yoda's ketamine addiction and the moment he bought his Honda Civic.
To me the most telling line for how the Phantom Menace line will still be canon is the trailer literally starting out with the line
“The Jedi justify their galactic dominance with peace” this tells me that perhaps even if they do know the Sith are back, the Jedi involved will keep it a secret or defeat the Sith and assume there are no others (like you said). The Jedi themselves accepting the Sith are back would mean breaking the illusion that their presence guarantees peace and we know that by the time Phantom Menace is happening a lot of the Jedi have been recalled or just don’t go to planets a lot and live amongst the people (we know this from the recent Living Force book). So I think in an attempt to preserve peace the return of the Sith will be swept under the rug until the later years when nobody is even LEFT to remember or know
They can always come back with “So what I told you is true…from a certain point of view.”
What is this channel that released a certain timeline video you speak of? I’ve never heard of such a thing. 😁
Alex is such a sweetheart , a island in the mess that is starwars youtube, im happy you seem to care about being professional and actually bringing us content and trivia, I really only trust you to really know whats up with this show too compared to any other lore youtuber
I'm definitely in favor of the Jedi covering up the possibility of the Sith returning AND having Darth Smiley completely massacre anyone who even sees him for what he is.
Alex and Mollie are the best of this fandom
Just spit balling, but I checked some Legends info and Sidious' master's master's master was unnamed and died in 125 BBY, which is right on the era The Acolyte is set on.
Great breakdown! Looking forward to more of your content around The Acolyte.
A lot of people seem to forget that Darth Bane created the Rule of Two AFTER the defeat of the Sith 1,000 years before Episode I
As such, how could Yoda know about the existence of the Rule of Two? It's an inconsistency that was explained once on Legends but never in canon... At least until now
That always bothered me how Yoda would know about the Rule of 2. Yoda being involved in the "coverup" would make a lot of sense and knowing about the Rule of 2.
“Always two there are, no more no less.”
If they left it at the first part, it would have been fine. Than it would just mean there is at least one other out there.
But “the no more no less” is definitely the problem, if the order really thinks the Sith want extinct because this rule was implemented.
It is especially weird coming from Yoda, he will have trained with veterans from the Jedi-Sith War.
Even if they knew from The Acolyte events being covered up, why would he assume a future Sith would hold themselves to the Bane system. Sure pride will probably keep them in, but it isn’t set in stone.
On the SW they explained how Yoda knew. The jedi captured a acolyte a while back who revealed the rule of 2 lore to them but they weren't sure if to believe it or not. I can't remember the timeliness or who it was etc.. but it is a small part of cannon that explains it.
@@tammyevans6629 Which means not all of the Counsel believed the Sith went extinct a 1000 years ago. Yoda and Mace do look are each other in a meaningful was after the extinction claim and Mace adds something like they would have known if they had returned.
So there is no problem as long as The Acolytes ends in a cover up, even from future counsel members.
@@tammyevans6629 I know, but that's part of Legends now
I agree with you Alex either the sith kills all the jedi or they cover it up exactly what they did with The Nameless which is a bigger threat imo and the sith shrine
Ok the dark scene with the knife in the floorboards looks like the same set as the fight with Kerry Ann moss later. I really hope she is investigating the death that likely happened in the dark and that she isn’t the victim. I really really really hope they don’t just bring her in as a badass just to kill her off to try and make the villain look more dangerous
Maybe the "twins" we see are actually one person and that's the big reveal at the end?
The council might just be talking about the sith as a whole. Like there are jedi around during the empire and kenobi says they are extinct. It's not being ignorant. Its just seeing them as a whole I think
I get what you’re saying about them wanting to hide it, but there were still at least 3 Jedi alive at that time. Yoda, Yaddle and Oppo Rancisis. There probably is more, but would Yoda at 7 or 800 years in the order really not be privy to such information? Unless it just comes down to straight hubris
If Ghengus Kahn and his forces suddenly reappeared on the face of the Earth, you'd be hesitant to accept it at face value, too. Luckily for the Jedi, they did decide to investigate the apparent return of the Sith by sending Jinn and Kenobi back out to protect Padme and confirm.
The Council was wrong at first, but they had reason to be skeptical and acted appropriately.
I'm thrilled that we're moving out of the Skywalker saga. Don't get me wrong I love the Skywalker saga but it should've ended after VI. They can make other things but leaving the Skywalkers for an occasional cameo, there's a whole galaxy and billions of stories to tell. I hope the show is a whole story on its own without the need to force cameos or plot devices just to fill plot holes in another shows or movies.
Do we know what the Knights of Ren are doing at this point in time?
After seeing the helmet I immediately thought of Sith artifacts like Darth Momin's helmet. If that sort of thing is the case, then I could see the Jedi throwing the possessed item in that vault from the Vader comic, and just continuing to think the Sith were still gone.
Excited for this series, it looks so much more cinematic than the previous series 🔥 and a breath of fresh air
Also wanna bring up the early preview footage of Acolyte shown at the end of the TPM screenings. Really looks promising so far.
How? It's a shitty matrix fight
Yup I was surprised. Definitely a cinematic looking production. Hope the writing is there.
Thank you for this video.
Thank you for actually having a brain, so tired pointing out critics errors for them to not see whats right in front of them
Did you not get Abeloth vibes from that helmet?? I immediately thought that was like a direct homagé to that smile of hers
Question for Star Wars Explained. I noticed in the background that you have an art book for phase II of The High Republic. Where did you get it? I’ve looked it up and gotten no results.
It's actually the same book just without the dusk cover. No vol 2 as of yet unfortunately
@@Cadenciaga oh okay, thank you
It was a pleasure to see you guys at the Phantom Menace show yesterday and get a "sneak preview" of your insights in this video!
Great stuff as always Alex. Is Mae/ twin sister wearing a green kyber crystal which is possibly Master Indara's? Only just noticed it properly and putting 2 and 2 together.
The planet from 5:25 looks very close to Ahch-To to me
I had that same thought!
What if this is a Darth Momin-type situation? A sith artifact possessing a Jedi like in the vader comics.
Haven't thought about that you might be onto something here
@@Psub950it’s the only way I could think of where the Jedi could say the sith have actually not returned, and the writers can get away with a sith like character in the show. @StarWarsExplained thoughts?
If they unalive Kelnacca I’ll never forgive them
I'm hoping that this will help to reconcile one of the big contradictions introduced into the story by Lucas: the fact that there is a prophecy about a Chosen One who will bring balance to the Force by destroying the Sith when the Sith are supposedly extinct.
Why does the “Last night, a Jedi was murdered” set off Watchmen alarm bells in my mind?
Thought the same!
The helmet kinda reminded me of a Nexu
Heck, at the end of Phase II of the High Republic they swept the Nameless under the rug and seemed to seal records of the Path of the Open Hand.
So I can see why they’d bury a Sith sighting.
Exciting times to be a Star Wars fan
byeee 👋
Delusional! Worst time ever to be star wars fan 💀
@@ll4680 Bored now.
Imagine, by the end of the series we see darth tenebrous and plaguies laughing while the music is eerie and thrilling
We are seeing when Sol finds Mae to have her join the jedi. We would need to see this scene for a reason. I feel if they are going the twin route then we could see them delving into the idea of the jedi becoming more selective with who they let join the order. We could see that the jedi take mae but refuse to take her sister because her mediclorian count is not high enough but then the sith lord at the time swoops in to take the sister on as an apprentice using their hate for the jedi to fuel their training. Could be fun and they could show the scene from different perspectives to save the twin reveal for later episodes.
Thank you, Alex! 🧾
Very hyped
Best take yet!
Great job.
Definitely getting Knights of Ren vibes
I'm still wondering it there's going to be a TOTE trivia video.
Man I hope trinity isn’t killed off so soon 😟
Does anyone think Yoda will make an appearance? I mean he HAS to, right?
Don't suppose you have a video about the high republic ? Little bit overwhelmed at the minute lol
This show so far is living up to my hopes. I hope it pays off, it's super important to the future of SW, if this show flops its gonna be tough.
I get venom vibes from the dark characters mask!
Great spot with that twin sister thing
It won’t be a sith reveal, it’s just going to be a Kylo-Dark Jedi twist
I got to see a special look [it was a scene] after watching the 25th anniversary release of Phantom Menace in the theater. About 90% of the crowd stayed to watch it. I am ready to see the full series.
I think Mae will be good just because Mae the force be with you.
The mouth on the mask reminds me of Abeloth.
5:25 Am I the only one who thought that this looked like Ach-To? Where Luke Skywalker banished himself?
This was most definitely a better trailer and I’m starting to see that I think Lucasfilm’s plan with this show is to really try their best to not reveal what’s going to happen although fans can be smart and figure it out
I just hope the show itself is better than what the marketing is giving it
I pray we see darth plageuis
Honestly didn’t care about this show at all but after watching this video I’m a little intrigued
It's Ahch-To right
Cult of Abeloth that will tie into Ahsoka S2, calling it now. Who else could possess people and have distinct mouth features like that???
Very excited for this could we See Tenebrous??? Even Plagueis too ? Bit unsure on timings but Im sure Tenebrous would be the one calling the shots when this is set I want to say Plagueis isn't around just yet tho
I love how this series is bring more alien characters :3
What's the vial of green liquid hanging from Mae's neck?
Big question are we going to see a darth plagues in the show or is master
I’m excited this series looks like it’s going to have horror elements I love any story to do with the Sith or Jedi
Alex, I've watched the timeline video twice.
Twins...
I wonder at the end that the Jedi have to get more political because whatever happens in the show will be so politically bad like it could end the Jedi right then that they need the chancellor to help cover it all up and in return they basically end up doing whatever the chancellor or the senate wants.
I want to see the nameless
06:55 or it gets covered up
So excited to see Vernestra Rwoh in Live-Action. This the kind of fan service I want in Star Wars. She's very kindhearted, strong, beautiful and I relate to her a lot since she is aromantic and an alien. I just hope they don't kill her off and have her turned to the dark side.
I love how positive this channel is
I didn’t get an extended view of Acolyte at my theater when i went to see Phantom Menace ep 1. Not at all on Friday (5/3/24) very disappointing 😒😮💨😠
Hope dagan Gera turns up
He would already be in stasis at this point as he was in that bacta tank for approx 200 years before Cal finds him
👍
believed that the jedi knew sith were around as otherwise why wiuld they be so focused on a prophecy about destroying the sith?
I'm looking forward to the series, but the trailer didn't do that much for me.
Or the protagonists will defect the Order as the series progresses, and will not notify the other Jedi about their Sith encounter
After two trailers i Think i dont Will Watch
Both The jedi and The Sith look dumb and Huge reatcon and Reboot
I respect this channel
Jedi GITMO
i am truly looking forword to this show
I’ve been waiting for this since I saw the new trailer!!!!!
So you mean to tell me that the GIMP from Pulp Fiction is the Sith Lord now. Wow truly DEI!!!
