I love that Jessie is giving the series a fair shake. I feel like a lot of people on the internet right now are using this show as an outlet for their frustration with the Star Wars brand and not taking the show on its own merits
This episode is the "Osha perspective" version of events. We're going to see different points of view, Rashomon style. There indeed a lot of big questions, and I expect we're going to learn the truth alongside Osha.
This review is probably as bad as the episode itself, and that's really saying something.
I wonder if anyone else felt this, the idea of being pushed to participate in a religious commitment ritual felt very similar to the pressure to get a Bar/Bat Mitzvah, especially the weird pressure to go through with it regardless of what characters want. Not sure if the witches were meant Jewish-inspired force users but I kinda appreciated reading it that way.
It was a bit frustrating to see all the media attention about "first trans actor" and then Abigail gets a few lines and is killed. I'm withholding criticism until the series plays out because if this is a Rashomon structure, there will be more opportunities, later... but my initial gut reaction was "Aw, you did all this promotion around queer representation and then you did a mass Bury Your Gays?!" I hold out hope.
It doesn’t matter if it’s eventually revealed to not break the lore, or only semi-devalue previous stories… sounds like they are deliberately trolling, like She-Hulk, and I’m not financially supporting that. Happy I didn’t watch; unlikely to watch future SW
I’ve really liked the show so far. Something tells me it’s what Sol said in ep.1, you cannot trust your eyes. Are the witches dead? And Sol…where did he come from in the first place during the “fire”. The fire started and the next thing, he’s there trying to save the girls. Back in episode 2 he tells OSHA not to give up on Mae. Why would he say that? Then in ep.1 he tells his padawan he saw Mae die but believes OSHA immediately when she tells him that she’s alive. And for the certain “RUclips SW channels” that are hating on this show because it’s not George Lucas SW, I guess you hate Mara Jade, Thrawn, Yuuzhan Vong and Mando as well. I started out as a Jedi fan back in ‘77 but… The Clone Wars show and Mace Windu🤬. The absolute bullshit he and the Council told Ahsoka about it being her Jedi “Trial”when they accused her of blowing up the temple. From that point on, they were known as “Jedi scum” to me. So now you can see all the prequel nerds having a fit over “The Acolyte” because, “they’re ruining my childhood”🤓. I don’t read a book with 30 chapters in it and stop 3 chapters in saying, I know the whole story. Let the show and it’s story play out. Love your reviews Jesse! Best of luck with Identiteaze. And remember, the Jedi scum don’t believe in luck either.
I think the way that Mae was possessive of Osha is what led to her flip to wanting to kill Osha, because we know that possessiveness can lead to the dark side. I think that's what they were going for even if it didn't translate on screen very well.
Following the queer allegory, the removal of kids from their parents is very on the nose too.
I have a theory on what actually happened. Mae started the fire in anger at Osha leaving and it spread. At the same time the Coven and the Jedi had a confrontation over Osha leaving with the Jedi. I suspect that both the Coven Mother and Sol were focusing on what Osha wants. She loves Osha and wants her to be Happy and Sol does not want Osha to be were she feels different. But someone else starts a fight, either the Jedi Padawan or their other mother andvit spirals out of control. Mae shows up distracts the coven leader who is killed by one of the Jedi, while during this Sol rushes off the save Osha sensing she is in danger. He misses the fight because of this, so he can only suspect what happened and may be in denial on the Jedi's role in it all.
Sol to Osha: (the most lgbt community thing I've seen xD)
I do wish we got to know Osha and the Jedi for at least two more episodes of screen time before the flashback episode. However that last scene seeing Sol cry with Osha really hit me. It’s very rare to see the Jedi be this emotionally vulnerable and it’s a nice change of pace from either always being wise and stoic or stoic and uptight
Some good points raised. Maybe the fire scene was implausible on purpose and we later find out the Jedi did kill the witches
I mean RE: The ending issues brought up, and the immediate genocide of the coven. Leslye Headland mentioned that one of the inspirations for the show was Rashomon, so I’m inclined were still going to see quite a bit of that same event from different perspectives in one way or another, so not all a one and done.
I don't really think the coven is dead. I think they did a ritual to make the illusion for Osha and the Jedi so they would leave and have no reason to come back. I think that it worked on Sol but not on the others and they did something or they were involved in a different illusion that led to the death of Mei and/or some of the other witches. the part at the end with the tree will end up being part of Mei's illusion. It is possible that it is actually some of the remaining witches using the guise of the Jedi's biggest boogie men to enact their revenge.
If they really pull some kind of "oh, it looks like the Jedi were responsible for what happened to the witches but it was the Sith the whole time!" BS, I'm going to be so pissed with this show.
I don't think they are Dathomirans the Dathmiran sister hood was already a thing and kind of been a thing for. at least a 1000 years even before this. I think this is a separate sect. Part of Dathomiran practice is having male warriors around as breeding partners. I think the Dathomirans where inspired by Amazonian warriors from Greek mythology in.
My algorithm seems to love suggesting toxic SW reaction content. Glad you’re in there to balance it out.
the comic is still cannon as far as I know but it was a vision vader had to manipulate him and it did not happen the way he saw in the vision so the actual event of the force making anikin is not really explained, but it is also cannon he is the ONLY one so adding 2 more force babies does break cannon anyhow
But the Jedi literally said they aren’t there to snatch children and gave them a choice.
