That just adds credence to my theory that the real master is actually Mother Abeloth. I think both Qimir and the witch coven are connected to her. Smilo Ren literally has the same smile as Abeloth. Abeloth is also not a Sith Lord, but she is actually much more dangerous than most Sith Lords, because she was able to mind control Jedi knights. Abeloth's original family is also known as "The Ones".
That’s if he finds out about what’s happening at all. For goodness sake there are a lot of legit complaints about the series but this is the dumbest one and people who keep harping on this have no imaginations or ability to think two steps ahead.
I took it that the Sith Lord knew but thought he'd try anyway. He seemed to be trying to kill his previous padawan and intentionally moved the other out of the way at the start of the fight.

I liked when Jeremy said, " It feels like he pulled the name "Sith" out of his ass". Like he's pretending to be a Sith. It actually reminded me of Genndy Tartakovsky's 2003 Clone Wars micro-series, when Ventress claimed to be a sith and Dooku laughed and said, "A bold claim, but you are NOT Sith!"
@@CalebSpears1 I always thought that if they wanted a female character so bad why not make a Ventress show? But with Christopher Lee dead they would have to change a decent bit.
My initial thoughts since the first Acolyte trailer was that the premise should have been a secret Sith or Dark Side user hiding among the Jedi in plain sight. Killing them off one by one and made into a mystery show.
I said the same thing, he needed a helmet to block Sol from his mind but he can't see her thoughts 10 mins later?? Sigh, maybe he can. Guess we'll see next episode cause we collectively can't turn away from this.
@@SceneNuthinn I always interpreted that as a mix of sith sorcery masking Palpatines presence and hiding in plain sight. Like they can sense a dark cloud around Palpatine but can't tell the origin. In this case though at the supposed height of the jedi's power it really doesn't make sense why the helmet would prevent mind reading or why neither Sol nor Qimir sense they have the other twin.
Also She has a giant tattoo on her face saying "I AM MAE". So it's already stupid apart from his ability to sense things, which the writers change from episode to episode. The longer he spends with her not realising, the dumber it will get. Yes her hair is in the way blah blah. Is it really though?
"Is he like the Sith equivelant of those stolen valor fucks who pose as military veterans to get free pancakes on Veteran's Day?" Holy shit Jeremy, that line made me choke on my coffee. 🤣

Exactly. People are really defending it by saying it's a character arc. Mae literally tries to kill her sister in a house fire (because she doesn't want to be separated), switches sides to be with her sister, just to switch sides again and leave her sister stranded on a random planet with a sith lord.
She doesn't want to go to jail. The reason she was going to give herself to the Jedi was because she HAD information that now is out there. What does she have to bargain with now? Also, we don't know what her plan is at this point. The show isn't over.
It wasn’t even well set up 😂. Like she could make that decision and it not snap our necks if it was something we had time to see her struggle with instead of her just ANNOUNCING her betrayal all of a sudden.
I can't say it's the best yet, but definitely the most enjoyable so far. I actually felt bad Jecki died. This episode really justified her sass. She wasn't just a smart mouth, but a fearless fighter, throwing herself into combat like that. Sadly her recklessness got the best of her. She reminded me a bit of Padawan Obi Wan in Phantom Menace.
It looked like the tail end of one of those old black & white commercials. It cuts, braids, and moisturizes! It's the all in one solution for personal hair styling at home and outdoors.
My theory is that Mae & Osha are the same person, and "the cutting of the hair" moment was just a more overt hint at her switching between her two split personalities. One of them actually died back at the temple, and this split-personality disorder is related to why she was dismissed from the Jedi temple in the first place. This would require greatly dialing up the idea of the unreliable narrator, which the show already keeps hinting at, and that the writers are intentionally including many red herrings and non-linear events. This would explain a lot of the oddities in their behavior, how they communicate with one another, and the bizarre force vision where Osha is following the younger version of her sister. Or it's just bad writing.
She didn't try and kill any Jedi. She was trying to flee the entire episode after the Sith came into the picture. Was she gonna go try and turn herself in while the Jedi were being slaughtered by the obviously much more powerful Sith? Oops sorry, I forgot what comment section I was in.

She wanted to turn herself in but that was before she found out her master was there and wanted her dead. And prior to being cuffed she watched one dude force push multiple Jedi. Which is a callback to her lesson as a child.
So all those Jedi were about to cleave his head multiple times and were only stopped because of that metal, yet none of them managed to hit him anywhere else…
@@ShawnGilbert1967he force pushed a half dozen Jedi, I think power comparisons are meaningless. Whatever the plot needs to happen, will happen whether it makes sense or not.

@@thatperformer3879 What's worse is that Rosario Dawson had nearly 2 years to prepare and somehow she ended up moving slower during her fight scenes than when she wasn't fighting.
I call the totally surprising villain "Darth Teeth" lol. The mask is so dumb looking. I also find it hilarious that Mae was able to cut her hair to be the exact length as Osha's, with no difference in how the ends look, or any odd ends so quick.
Rey vs Kylo Ren in TFA was pretty well seen. As well as Luke vs Kylo and that dope dyad fight in TROS. Really one of the only good moments in that film. CW had plenty of night saber fights; Anakin and Obi-Wan vs Darkside Ahsoka for one example.
They think they're sly. Like nah.... we get it. It's what they did with transformers in the late 2000's. The CGI wasnt as good as it is now so they used really fast movement and lighting to obscure the weakness in CGI when the detailed models would be doing too much in movement.
@@exomake_mehorololo You can though, otherwise I wouldn’t be saying it lol. You’re just parroting what people keep saying, actually look back at the episode
The problem with that metal is that now you've got to explain why the Separatists didn't use it during the Clone Wars. Or why the Inquisitors didn't wear it when hunting Jedi.
Wasn't Star Wars originally enticing because we followed the small events that were playing out in a larger set of stories? I actually feel like they're doing that part right, here. There's a decent amount of mysteries relevant to the characters and the worlds they inhabit. Sure, I knew who the villain was, and confidently by last episode. But, I didn't mind knowing what the characters didn't in this case. There was a natural progression for them that made sense.
Watching this show is like going to Disney these days. All your favourite nostalgia is there and it looks expensive but it’s boring and the only reason you are there is because you booked an expensive trip and you “just want to get your moneys worth.”
I still get mine for free since day one cause I kept my grand fathered in phone plan...even when I got the new Z fold 5 they tried everything to get me to change plans ( which is more expensive anyway) I'm like naw I like I can fire up Disney and watch real star wars for free and use the espn for ufc fight nights lol...now I got a real service in Hulu too all free since day D+ launched
@@ChronzYup. Seen people get this confused even before Disney ruined star wars. Just because someone is a dark side user doesn't make them Sith and just because they're a light side user doesn't make them a Jedi. They have to be trained it those ways.
The material (it was made canon in the new Thrawn books) is extremely rare and is very fragile until it is incorporated into another base material, for example is used in armor. It is called cortosis. Back in Legends it was a metal, but now it is more of a fiber or mineral.
In fairness, in legends cortosis was extremely rare and was only seen used a few times throughout all of the books and comics. Like only a handful of times.
In the Disney canon, a Separatist factory on Baatu is making Clone Armor with this Cortosis material. Anakin, Padme and Thrawn team up and destroyed it. Anakin thought that the Separatist going to use it to infiltrate the Clone Army but what they didn't know it actually a preparation for Order 66 to be used by 501st Legion when storming the Jedi temple.
Also, it's weird how no one's really grieving over the amount of dead Jedi, including a Padawan, lying about on the jungle floor. The closest we got is Sol calmly criticizing Darth Smiley for killing a child.
I was torn between Scrawny guy and The Daphomere Witch we THOUGHT was dead being the Sith. Until he said he knew how to get to the wookie and then fell for a trap. And then reminds her of her motivation. For me, that was,the give away.
The helmet is made out of Cortosis Weave, a metal that can short out lightsabers but was incredibly conductive, which made it susceptible to minor catastrophic explosion from blaster fire. I don't think it could block the force.
I always go back to what Jeremy said when he reviewed TLJ " G Lucas is l like we have the force but we can't to anything, Disney is like we have the force we can do anything."
When you have no shame nor an ounce of grey matter, $180 million Dollars will go out in flames into nothingness. This show just proved it, is nothingness itself... oh, btw, the Gimp made me laugh so hard! Kudos my man, kudos!
I'm sorry, but this episode was DOPE. Qimir put it work on those Jedi and it was great. I hated this show until this episode. I'm interested to hear his origin and will now participate in one more episode. Lol!
I still hate the editing but I’ve slowly started to enjoy the series since end of last episode. I just wish it didn’t take this long for it. Andor had me hooked in from the FIRST MINUTE.
Jeremy Jahn's reaction to the Acolyte was basically my reaction to Legacy of the Force. I'm glad I have something I can easily use as a comparison when talking to the laymen of the Star Wars fandom.
@@Droid98765 Retconning Vergere into a Sith, turning Jacen into a complete moron who can't see why being a Sith is a terrible idea, offing the 93 year old Pellaeon, bringing back no one's favorite Admiral Daala and putting her in command of the Chimera....EVERYTHING TO DO WITH TAHIRI.

Well, Mae is supposed to kill a Jedi unarmed, betting that she's gonna whack Sol that way. I did see someone point out that an Acolyte is what a Sith Apprentice trains and then they kill the Master and take that title, and the Acolyte becomes the Apprentice...so maybe at the end we see whomever the Master is at the time show up and kill both the Apprentice and his Acolyte, paving the way to what we know.

@Hard_Boiled_Entertainment no he is an ezra Miller clone. Also Miller lite is a beer as well as bud lite. 😏 right back at ya.
I prefer Darth Smiley myself.
Cue 'Pulp Fiction' sax music...
He doesn't consider himself a Sith. He just knows the Jedi consider anyone who isn't a Jedi that uses the force a Sith
And it just makes me sad cuz Jeremy you're usually on top of it haha. And I know you have media literacy, you just turned it off for the show I guess?

he's easily the best sith since the prequels

But the helmet looks like a troll emoji and he's way too obvious. The mystery is weak with this one.
@@xtrafunk He's the only sith since the prequels
@@yami122 if you want to be pedantic, sure, but the premise of this thread is to treat all dark side antagonists as sith. take it up with op.
Why in the previous episode was Mae was going to turn herself in, but then when the Jedi Padawan puts handcuffs on her, she fights the Padawan?
Yeah, that confused me too.
Continuity, schmontinuity.
She wanted to turn herself in but that was before she found out her master was there and wanted her dead.
And prior to being cuffed she watched one dude force push multiple Jedi. Which is a callback to her lesson as a child.
Stop being a "toxic fan". Don't question the writing. YOU WILL ENJOY AND BE THANKFUL!

So all those Jedi were about to cleave his head multiple times and were only stopped because of that metal, yet none of them managed to hit him anywhere else…
Damn Jeremy still attending that funeral lol 😂
He does so we don't need to
We don't need to and he doesn't either. It's a dead IP so why waste your time.

At this point, the only end to Smilo Ren I'll accept is if he's outed as a "fake Sith" and then cut down by Darth Plageuis or Darth Tenebrous
Or one of their failed apprentices... which they will still end him.
Why would he be so powerful in that case?
He got defeated by bugs he is quick not powerful, Palps would have lightening fried all their asses
@@ShawnGilbert1967he force pushed a half dozen Jedi, I think power comparisons are meaningless.
Whatever the plot needs to happen, will happen whether it makes sense or not.
You know that's not gonna happen
The idea of someone saying "but I digress" in the middle of their prayer is extremely funny 😂
😂😂 You left out the fact Sol just left all his dead comrades behind and didn't even collect their lightsabers before heading back to the ship with Mae. Such bad writing.😂😂
They relied on the mystery box again. Oh my god. They really didn’t learn anything from the sequel movies
J.J. Abrams is such a hack.

I learned my lesson from LOST.
The Box. The Box!
This took some 8mins, the episode is what, 20mins? Just saved me over 10mins of my precious time.
Thanks man!
I honestly enjoy watching review from Jeremy instead of watching the actual show.
That dramatic light saber haircut had me dying 😂
yeah I laughed out loud for the 3rd time this episode
Another "thinking you look badass" when ur not moment by music video award winning artist, Amandla Stenberg
Not as funny as “I have the high ground!”

Who’d have thought, Harvey Weinstein’s personal assistant can’t make a show that anyone relates to or enjoys.

Pretty soon the LED light sabers will have an app to rotate colors as you fight.
I think one company has done this already.
@@MandaloreTheThicc Yes mine makes sound and has 2 colours blue and red.
Jeremy.... Jeremy.... You did not just mention Art of the Saber... You my friend, are truly a man of culture. That and Ryan vs Dorkman were the true OGs of fan-made saber fights.
Those Ryan v Dorkman battles were the best!! Loved those as a kid.
It's over 2 decades old now, where did the time go?
Dafne Keen really impressed me. Her combat skills are the best Disney has filmed since they bought Star Wars. The show is not good but Dafne is a star.
Cause she’s actually athletic and retains fight training from her Logan days, contrary to someone like Rosario Dawson who can’t fight for shit 😂
@@thatperformer3879 What's worse is that Rosario Dawson had nearly 2 years to prepare and somehow she ended up moving slower during her fight scenes than when she wasn't fighting.
I think she had a stunt double in some scenes. Her speed randomly kept changing when you couldn’t see her face.
Biggest star for me was whatever stunt performer was under that Cortosis helmet. Absolutely stellar choreography/performance, he killed it.
@@kianrangassamy8461 I think you’re right. But even so, she did some nice moves
That Gimp stinger was genius. Getting medieval 😂
I call the totally surprising villain "Darth Teeth" lol.
The mask is so dumb looking.
I also find it hilarious that Mae was able to cut her hair to be the exact length as Osha's, with no difference in how the ends look, or any odd ends so quick.
Lightsaber hairstyling ... Secrets known only to the Sith.
@@haroldb1856well Palpatine was always quite fashionable. are exquisite clothing and hairstyles necessary for an evil Sith?
Smilo Ren
@@Сайтамен Or Darth Punk with the silly Daft Punk helmet on lol.
If black hair is so easy to cut and style, I don't know why people were complaining they couldn't find a good hairdresser for their black hair.
It's wild that shills on twitter are actually trying to say that this episode had fights that topped the prequels and more specifically - TPM.
Mostly all Disney saber fights are at night, behind trees. To hide the awful choreography.
Watch the actual episode, there’s some great choreography in there, problem is the blocking and set, AND LIGHTING
Rey vs Kylo Ren in TFA was pretty well seen. As well as Luke vs Kylo and that dope dyad fight in TROS. Really one of the only good moments in that film.
CW had plenty of night saber fights; Anakin and Obi-Wan vs Darkside Ahsoka for one example.
They think they're sly. Like nah.... we get it.
It's what they did with transformers in the late 2000's. The CGI wasnt as good as it is now so they used really fast movement and lighting to obscure the weakness in CGI when the detailed models would be doing too much in movement.
@FlynnTheRedhead you're basically saying the same thing. Only you say the things we can't see are actually great
@@exomake_mehorololo You can though, otherwise I wouldn’t be saying it lol. You’re just parroting what people keep saying, actually look back at the episode
Lmao that cut to pulp fiction when mentioning the mouth zipper got me! Almost spit out my coffee dude!!
The problem with that metal is that now you've got to explain why the Separatists didn't use it during the Clone Wars. Or why the Inquisitors didn't wear it when hunting Jedi.
When Sol leaves Yord and Jecky on the ground dead im like yo whatever happened to no one left behind
Well they're dead lol
TBF there are like 10 other dead Jedi in the vicinity so not like he can carry them all back.
Lol exactly what I thought. He just left them like ...not my problem 😅
They're dead and the sith dude is still out there

You're welcome, Bumpo. Enjoy all that free mob cash.
Wasn't Star Wars originally enticing because we followed the small events that were playing out in a larger set of stories? I actually feel like they're doing that part right, here. There's a decent amount of mysteries relevant to the characters and the worlds they inhabit. Sure, I knew who the villain was, and confidently by last episode. But, I didn't mind knowing what the characters didn't in this case. There was a natural progression for them that made sense.
Watching this show is like going to Disney these days. All your favourite nostalgia is there and it looks expensive but it’s boring and the only reason you are there is because you booked an expensive trip and you “just want to get your moneys worth.”
I don't see any good nostalgia in Star Wars
Kinda depressing to think peak fandom era has passed & will never reach that height again.
At least you can cancel Disney Plus instead of having to buy 1-2 years worth in advance.
Only the uneducated Star Wars fans/shills will defend garbage🤣
I still get mine for free since day one cause I kept my grand fathered in phone plan...even when I got the new Z fold 5 they tried everything to get me to change plans ( which is more expensive anyway) I'm like naw I like I can fire up Disney and watch real star wars for free and use the espn for ufc fight nights lol...now I got a real service in Hulu too all free since day D+ launched
I knew it was going to be him, but I was hoping I was wrong and they were going to throw a curve ball lol
To high of an expectation for this show imo
It's not even that they're at night. It's that they're poorly lit and thus creating a poor viewing experience
A Sith that has no name just "Sith" show us they know anything about the SW Lore
it's projection. nothing about them matters other than what group they are in.
i don't think he knows what he is. He just said it because that's what the jedi call those who wield the force outside of the order.
Only the uneducated Star Wars fans/shills will defend garbage🤣
@@mdoubleubwat. The sith refer to themselves as such tho
@@ChronzYup. Seen people get this confused even before Disney ruined star wars. Just because someone is a dark side user doesn't make them Sith and just because they're a light side user doesn't make them a Jedi. They have to be trained it those ways.
Can’t buy passion for 4 billion - you summed up the entire legacy of Disney Star Wars

It’s so disappointing seeing a IP you love be treated like this.
Best episode so far? Yes. low bar? Yes.
"PASSION IS SOMETHING MONEY CAN NOT BUY" 🙏🏻
Thank you for taking the hit and watching this train wreck so many of us don’t have to!!!
Art of the Saber! I LOVE THAT ONE!
You know shits getting sloppy when Jeremy drinks every episode 😂
So Sol just..walked away from all his dead Jedi buddies and padawan..like going home from the supermarket
That helmet make you ask, why aren't all armors made from that, or at least the bosses
The material (it was made canon in the new Thrawn books) is extremely rare and is very fragile until it is incorporated into another base material, for example is used in armor. It is called cortosis. Back in Legends it was a metal, but now it is more of a fiber or mineral.
@@benschroeder4036even if it’s extremely rare a, idk, tyrannical government that enslaves workers would probably be able to get their hands on that
In fairness, in legends cortosis was extremely rare and was only seen used a few times throughout all of the books and comics. Like only a handful of times.
In the Disney canon, a Separatist factory on Baatu is making Clone Armor with this Cortosis material.
Anakin, Padme and Thrawn team up and destroyed it. Anakin thought that the Separatist going to use it to infiltrate the Clone Army but what they didn't know it actually a preparation for Order 66 to be used by 501st Legion when storming the Jedi temple.
Woodoo hide
Haha...definitely giggled at the Pulp Fiction quip
Also, it's weird how no one's really grieving over the amount of dead Jedi, including a Padawan, lying about on the jungle floor. The closest we got is Sol calmly criticizing Darth Smiley for killing a child.
"It feels like nothing..." Well said, Jeremy. Perfect description of this show.
*_"We're gonna_*_ Need _*_a Bigger_*_ 🍾 BOTTLE 🦈🍾"_
I was torn between Scrawny guy and The Daphomere Witch we THOUGHT was dead being the Sith. Until he said he knew how to get to the wookie and then fell for a trap. And then reminds her of her motivation. For me, that was,the give away.
I'm wondering how many dollars worth of that Blue Label Jeremy is going to drink by the end of this series 😂
Sponsorship!
High Republic, the time when weed was free for all the Jedi.
The helmet is made out of Cortosis Weave, a metal that can short out lightsabers but was incredibly conductive, which made it susceptible to minor catastrophic explosion from blaster fire. I don't think it could block the force.
I always go back to what Jeremy said when he reviewed TLJ " G Lucas is l like we have the force but we can't to anything, Disney is like we have the force we can do anything."
When you have no shame nor an ounce of grey matter, $180 million Dollars will go out in flames into nothingness. This show just proved it, is nothingness itself... oh, btw, the Gimp made me laugh so hard! Kudos my man, kudos!
Sol should’ve at least asked “Ocea” to show her forehead. Mae literally has the witches white circle mark tattooed on it
Not gonna lie, that lightsaber action was fantastic, the Sith guy is a bad ass.
If I didn’t know better, it sorta feels like Jeremy is starting to enjoy the show, but is trying not too.. 😅
So, are we gonna talk about the time Sol meet this guy without a helmet and could read his thoughts? And had all the reasons in the world to do it.
May the Farce be with You Jeremy
I'm sorry, but this episode was DOPE. Qimir put it work on those Jedi and it was great. I hated this show until this episode. I'm interested to hear his origin and will now participate in one more episode. Lol!
I still hate the editing but I’ve slowly started to enjoy the series since end of last episode. I just wish it didn’t take this long for it. Andor had me hooked in from the FIRST MINUTE.
@@Mysteriouswaffle yes, they trashed the murder mystery in the first episode. 🤦 Andor is the golden standard now.
I'm convinced that it's YT reviewers and reactions that is keeping this "show" alive.
I didn't even understand the helmet effect until now...
Jeremy Jahn's reaction to the Acolyte was basically my reaction to Legacy of the Force. I'm glad I have something I can easily use as a comparison when talking to the laymen of the Star Wars fandom.
Ah I remember the Leagcy of the Force, and Karen Travvis unadulterated hatred of the jedi in it lol
@@Droid98765 Retconning Vergere into a Sith, turning Jacen into a complete moron who can't see why being a Sith is a terrible idea, offing the 93 year old Pellaeon, bringing back no one's favorite Admiral Daala and putting her in command of the Chimera....EVERYTHING TO DO WITH TAHIRI. I could go on and on.
@theazurefire91 Don't forget having Jania learn from BOBA FETT out of all people in how to defeat Jacen. Instead of Luke.
And the whole Lumyia stuff was just awful.

@@Droid98765 Also offing Isolder for no reason. I actually read the Courtship of Princess Leia for the first time earlier this year and it made me even more mad at Legacy of the Force because Isolder was one of the best things about that book.
Well, Mae is supposed to kill a Jedi unarmed, betting that she's gonna whack Sol that way. I did see someone point out that an Acolyte is what a Sith Apprentice trains and then they kill the Master and take that title, and the Acolyte becomes the Apprentice...so maybe at the end we see whomever the Master is at the time show up and kill both the Apprentice and his Acolyte, paving the way to what we know. Who knows. Guess we will see.
We find out "Sith" is young Palpatine and he's actually older cuz darkside 🤣
What? She’s abandoned that right? She’s not on discount Ezra Miller’s side anymore, why would she be following his dumb rules still?
@@Theendman42only thing that makes sense since clearly the word never gets back to the Jedi about the Sith. She likely will see a chance and take it. The dark side is pretty opportunistic
Cutting your hair with a lightsaber? Wouldn't that just light your head on fire?
No Not enough heat is being transmitted And it's being transmitted in such a small area that it's just going to cut
it'd be like cutting your hair with a laser it's not really going to Affecting thing it's not touching
That scene was stupid. Everything is stupid. No one can act
The logic doesn't matter as much, but either way it was a dumb ass scene acting like some sort of turning point or big moment....cutting hair!
