Mae: Potion Seller, I am going into battle and require your strongest potions. Darth Potion: You can't handle my potions, have this poison instead to kill Torbius, it's Torbin Time. Mae: Okay, what about the Acolyte attack on the wookie? Darth Potion: Good relations with the wookie I have, also stop misquoting Ki-Adi-Mundi, he is covering for us.
Honestly, I liked the Coruscant scenes and the Mae scenes on Khofar. But, I thought that the Jedi "hike" through Khofar could've been slimmed down. I am sad to say this but it feels like a filler episode. But who knows, we all thought the Purgill episode of Rebels was filler than Filoni made in center stage of the finale. Time will tell. But I liked the Sith part, and don't mind Mundi living longer, just hope there are no complications for TPM.
My theory is that Mae hasn't left the dark side. The reason Qimir has been so obviously set up as the master is so it's obvious that Mae figured him out. Once she did she baited him to come out of hiding and kill Kalnacca himself. Go back and rewatch the scene where she takes the break on the hike. Then she will tell Qimir she succeeded in killing a Jedi without a weapon because she manipulated someone else to do it for her - HIM and he fell for it. Such a very Sith thing to do.
Nice, I have yet to see such a deep twist from this show but if they can pull that off (and more) the show might redeem itself. (I hope so, because a lot of it felt bad and phoned in)
Damn….thats a really nice theory. That would be really clever. I would like that a lot. And it would make sense bc there is a shot in the Trailer where Mae fights against Jecki. So she’s not done fighting Jedi I guess.
it’s more likely mae was too overwhelmed by seeing her sister and not thinking clearly enough to unravel the sith plot. it’s like sol said it was like she became 2 different people. not to mention it seemed she was genuinely afraid once she realized he was on the planet.
I love this line of thought. It would mean that Qimir is invested in the death of Kalnacca outside of his investment in Mae caving to her own sense of vengeance. The question remains, why would Qimir be invested in the deaths of these specific jedi outside of his job as a dark-side teacher? It must be because either he, or his master also craves vengeance, my guess is due to the murders on the witch planet, leading me to the Darth Maul lady as suspect one.
What struck me about this episode is that it really felt like it was shot on a sound stage and the set design department made the forest locations feel like a high budget 90s show.
One of the first things we were told about this show when it was announced was that it would go some way to explaining why the Jedi acted as they did in The Phantom Menace. I think that, by the time it's done, this show will go some way to explaining why Ki-Adi Mundi doesn't believe the Sith have returned in that Movie
They cant show that because the only reason the jedi of the prequel era were making mistakes is because they couldn't hear the will of or use the force that well because of dark side shading. What they are doing in this show is trying to make the jedi look bad. The Jedi would never try to sweep the reality of the Siths return under the rug because of the threat the Sith present.
no. this is a one-step-forward-two-steps-back situation : the jedi behavior in TPM made *more* sense before this episode. they've literally introduced a problem they now need to fix, when they did not need to introduce that problem at all.
The problem with this show is it drags its heels on pointless things and then when something important to the plot or interesting happens the show feels like its on fast forward, likes Mae’s sudden change of heart.
I liked this episode better than last week's. I am still keeping my mind open and trying not to formulate any judgement good or bad until I watch the last episode.
Did you actually expect results from someone who has no understanding about script writing 101. You just drop the screenshot and hopefully you don't think about it.
My biggest issue with this show is the fact that they have a similar budget to a show like House of Dragon, but are almost half the duration in runtime. That's been my biggest issue with all of the Disney+ shows. Why can't we have hour-long episodes?
I smell a Jedi coverup. They’ve been alluding to it with how much they hide from the Senate. Who’s to say they didn’t hide the presence of the Sith. And there will be a big reason why, and the Jedi memory erasing will become relevant.
I don't really get the "there's still good in Mae" idea. She was brainwashed by her coven, tortured bugs, fought with Osha all the time, tried to kill Osha, then disappeared and presumably spent a decade continuing down a bad path. When was she good? And then Sol's reasoning that Osha should care about Mae because "she's family." The Jedi way is to separate children from families and have no emotional connections, so does he say that just to manipulate her? Kinda weird.
I didnt see jecki and osha’s interactions as flirtatious tho…? Theyve become friends imo, and have already been on two missions together where they clicked. Also Jecki is my fav in the series! Shes been trained obviously but u can tell shes still a thinker/analyzer. She better live cuz she gonna be a great jedi.❤
Wasn't it weird that Yord said he's known Osha since they were younglings and Mae has always been her wound yet earlier he said he never knew Osha was a twin?? How did that go unnoticed?
Bit late, but i saw a DOPE theory on reddit that stated that when they took a break, Mae already had a suspicion that Qimir was the masked dark side user, and that Mae deliberately "switched sides" 3 minutes after saying she "wants this more than anything" to trick Qimir into killing Kelnacca, so that Mae actually ends up accomplishing her mission which was to kill a jedi without a weapon. I pray this is the case because that would be so so cool
The term Acolyte goes back to the Old Republic era. An acolyte has no master but are hoping to earn one. Mae didn’t officially have a Master yet. This seems to have been her test to earn her the title of Apprentice.
I think, and this might be overthinking it, that Jecki wants to get closer to Osha to find out why Sol is still watching holograms of her, and displaying an affection that he has not shown to her. Jealousy and curiosity combined, but with very little malevolence behind it, if that makes sense?
Refreshing to see a comments section full of healthy discussion and without the histrionics of some RUclips channels where they’ve already grabbed their pitchforks and lit their torches…
How are Jedi not able to detect a powerful dark side user. why are they acting like a police force outside the home? Their force sensitivity went from ridiculously good in Ashoka to nothing here. Why is the Jedi so political?
@@charlesthompson5645 TheForce think is a head scratcher. I think the meaning of the force was changed post the Original trilogy such that perhaps only the original trilogy is part of my Head cannon.
@@marknovak6498well yoda said multiple times in clone wars and episodes 1-3 he couldn’t see dark intention but all Jedi use light. Vader always knew Luke’s pure intentions but luke had to take a massive risk to put faith in his father again not knowing what would happen
I personally laughed at the civilian robes reveal. Do you want the comedy to hit you over the head like Thor: Love and Thunder? This is Star Wars, after all. It doesn’t need to be straight up comical.
But like when was it mentioned before this that she would wear a civilian robe?did she get a run down of the plan before? It just comes out like cliche comedy being forced into story.
You have to be a casual fan if you think this is good bro. “Art is subjective” yeah alright. This show is literally breaking Canon with the force twins/ Mundi LITERALLY KNOWING THERE IS A SITH WHEN HE SAID THE SITH HAVENT BEEN AROUND FOR 1000 YEARS. This shows a joke and a punch in the dck to George Lucas Star Wars
@@Stormtrooper_Elias Canceled for what lmao. Do you hear yourself bro. Again zero arguments, you just want to silence people that don’t agree with you……
Oh and I think the last 4 episodes are gonna mirror the first 4 but in reverse order. This episode was called Day. Episode 5 will most likely be called Night while episode 6 will be another flashback to Brendok titled Choice or Freedom or something the opposite of Destiny. Then the last two episodes will go back to the two part titles like episodes 1 and 2. Like the first 4 episodes represents the pulling of the thread - setting up the mystery. While the last 4 is the unravelling, revealing the answers to the mystery. You know, it's like poetry, it rhymes.
If the "Master" turns out to be a Younger Plagueis who is still a Munn!!! And the "Apprentice" turns out to be Qimir, and the "Acolyte" in question turns out to be Mae; that could redeem the show in the eyes of most Fans. BUT we all know they're not going to do that lol.
It was a definite improvement on the previous episode, but there were some very flat line readings from Dafne Keen (who can definitely act beautifully) and Amandla Stenberg. I appreciated the practical sets, but thought the Jedi chambers scenes could have been lit far better so they didn't look as cheap. The exteriors were great though.Bazil was fun.
@@MikeyAlterRed Yeah, for sure. SW has never been known for stellar acting quality, but I was more willing to overlook it when SW was fun. There's just something about this one that feels flat, and not even fun.
I like the idea of dark splinter groups. I like Mundi being in the show and that he is lying and all. I was surprised Mae turned away from the dark so soon.
I don’t think Mundi lied. All he knows is that a former padawan and/or her twin is killing Jedi. Sith need not be involved. Not sure why this is so hard for people to understand.
Re the editing, Ep 3 ends with Jedi Wookiester walking into his home, er, for lack of a better word, nekkid. Ep 4 picks up where Ep 3 ended and....Jedi Wookiester is AGAIN walking into his abode and this time he's wearing robes. So he went inside, put some clothes on, went back outside just to walk.....back inside?
Given the series' setting around 100 BBY, it is plausible that the Sith with the red lightsaber could represent a younger Darth Plagueis, known for his obsession with cheating death and manipulating midi-chlorians to create life. Plagueis' quest for immortality could easily tie into the dark rituals and mysteries explored in "The Acolyte." His interactions with Mae and Osha could provide insights into his growing power and philosophy. Acting under the orders of his master, Darth Tenebrous, adds layers of complexity and intrigue. The twist of Darth Tenebrous being a hidden Jedi Council member would explain his covert influence and strategic planning, sending Plagueis to eliminate threats and gather knowledge without drawing attention to the Sith's resurgence.
It's a nice idea but now, considering how they've blatantly retconned Ki Adi-Mundi age just to support their thing of painting the Jedi in a bad light; If this were to happen they would most likely retcon a younger version of Plagueis anyway; probably make him one of those Kotabi race from the HR. 🤦♂
Osha & Mae are still not being shown TOGETHER at the same time in the same place. Osha separated from the group, became Mae, projected an illusion of Osha behind the group, then levitated a Sith costume toward the group and pulled a disappearing act. Later, "Osha" will appear again outside.
7:22 It sounded correct. The Mind creates imagery from words that have multiple meanings or slang interpretations. These concepts 'sound' alrite in our head, but once they are spoken, it may bring a pause of the flow of Energy within the Speaker, while The Mind tries to find an excuse, or say something else to avoid accoubtability after saying, "potpourri punany" & "fresh snatch aroma" or one of the Many variations of 'sniffing beaver. Never In Less; I enjoy your critique, reviews and updates on all things SW. I hear Objectivity and Compassion within your Voice for this new SW series. While not sugar-coating your critique, you do give a constructive and honest review of this episode. With that being said, as I was typing out the above paragraph, my Mind said that it is possible that the Objectivity and Compassion that I hear may simply be the Idea I have of You, as created by The Mind the accent of your speech and/or the Maturity, Experience and/or Speech training. My point is that many Content regarding SW: The Acolyte has been very subjective and expressed from the moment of emotional reaction. I haven't watched these AARs(after-action-review) to sense the total lack of Objectivity as I can read it within the video title and the still-frame used for the video in Feeds. They are done to create an emotional reaction within the Body and once The Mind creates this illusion(yes, the Not-Self Mind makes Maia) the viewer identifies with this feeling as the viewer identifies their Authentic-Self from what The Mind says. When we look at this from the 'Man on A Hill' perspective, I posit that without Awareness of the conditioning and determining factors in this (backwords), many Human Beings in today's Society are living in Fantasy worlds of their own Creation in which other worlds are created within their own Creation and so on and so forth. This is a great use of the Conceptualization process as long as One has mental-clarity or logical-feelings on the World's Within World's of The Mind. Mental-Clarity is allowing the emotions to go thru its involuntary wave process, controlled by the Body like Breathing, and combining that 60%-70% Surety, with the 80%-100% Logic of The 1+1=2, Critical Mind. For example: I have created a World within My Mind, based on SW Lore where, Man Kind all can use the 'Force' and it's Real, and Manifests humbly, w/o sound effects like the silence at a Rock Concert in Outer Space. I consciously know this World I created by Mind is make-believe and I exit and enter this Maia in such way that my Awareness of the Construct We Share is not distorted, ones grip on/of Reality is not lost. Many are living Within their Solipsistic Realms of Dissonance by the Pattern of taking the Emotions or Feeling Within in the Moment as Truth and taking some type of Action from this False Truth given by a False Reality. This is apparent as No One is all the way Good, and No One is all the Bad. As you expressed in this Video, The Phantom Menace began here as the Beginning of The End of The Jedi Religion was not a product of or summation arising from Young Anny being too old and emotionally attached to his Mother. No, that was the effect felt a Century later. The Cause is from those that are born with Power, are Initiated in The School of Enlightened Pompous Good, where they are Unconsciously taught the only Right Way is This Way and later they perform rituals to a Coonscious Omnipotent Invisible Light Entity and then given Authority by the Galactic Republic and Order of The Jedi Knights.....these Knights went on a Crusade to impart the Galaxy with their Order. I do not need to summarize or, create the World of the Effects from the Cause, as We were given the SW story in this specific way as it mirrors the Program of this Simulation that was for Souls to Experience what Being A Human is for, hi-jacked by an intention of disregard, Conditional, Transactional Love, subjugation and Uncertainty. I will Speak this into the Aether, also known as: Radio, Television, Internet.
I absolutely loved the episode, it was far more entertaining than episode 3. Keep in mind it was far from perfect but I don't expect perfection from Disney+. But without a doubt Episode 4 is the best episode of the series up to this point.
the hands look like qimir's when he force flung them and he knew the Jedi were trailing them thats why he was pushing Osha.... The writing tho...Mae just decides, hay my sister is alive lets talk to the jedi after you supposedly killed several of them and was evil as a kid? I dunno man
She thought he sister and best friend was dead. It’s more believable than the guy you’ve known for 15 years has been hiding force powers. He’s also trained in the dark side and is a Sith master believe everything he says even though he’s lied for your whole time knowing him. Now go slaughter everyone you’ve ever known and cared for even children all in 15 minutes for promises he makes over a dream that may not happen.
Mae’s sudden switch is because of the strength of the force Dyad. She had nothing to live for before and was ok going on a suicide mission for power. Now she’s connected with Osha again in the force and doesn’t want to die anymore. It doesn’t feel rushed at all when you consider the force connection to Osha affecting her turn. Osha is changing abruptly now too and feels more connected and powerful with the force because she’s connected stronger to Mae now, and Mae is a lot more connected and powerful with the force than Osha.
I've been loving this show Meg. I agree the dialogue has been "off" but that's consistent issue with Star Wars. It's definitely not Oscar material LOL. I was bothered by the way it ended though. That masked dark side user is sweet & the force pushes look like something out of a video game.
Your Pod Meg, said all brilliantly. I agree with you 💯. 2nd 4 episodes will IMO need a more dynamic direction. Ep 4 was thankfully not too long, but did end with a "No!" from me. Cliffhanger 👏

I was hoping that when she said "its impossible" she was going to feign turning herself in so the wookie would lower his guard and she could kill him without a weapon, but that's not where they went
I am enjoying it. It's hard to explain my concerns, I feel like the episodes are building to something that will hopefully be clever as a whole, but they're kind of unsatisfying individually at times. Maybe part of it is that we are being shown things from a certain perspective that is not reliable.
Plo kooon was alive Mundi wasnt odd to use him instead of plo. Since it's Dave's favorite besides assoka. Making the jedi seem like the bad guys doesn't mean you have to make them dumb.
There are several things that come to mind. One, Vernestra’s response of not wishing to reveal this issue to the Jedi Council is highly suspicious. Is it possible she’s behind the killing of the 4 Jedi Masters because they were acting on her orders on Brendock? I’m also not sure all dark force users are Sith. Look at the power of Baylon in Ahsoka. He clearly behaved as a Sith, but was a Dark Jedi. I’m not confident we should only think Sith as the bad guys. I also wonder if Koril might be the Dark Force user behind this. She seemed to always challenge Mother Aniseya and I think this might be a portion of which we don’t know. Did Koril start the fire, save Mae, and create the opposite of what Sol created? Sol made Osha a jedi and Koril made Mae an assassin. I agree we already have met the Dark Force user and Koril killing Mother Aniseya would certainly bring out Mae’s anger and then blame it on the Jedi. Qimir being the Dark Force baddie is too obvious. I think we are in for real surprise that will rock our world.
I'm really liking the series despite the criticism, my only gripe is killing off certain characters before they have been given a chance to shine more without giving too many spoilers away. I do hope we get more from Lesley too in the future. There I have said it ❤
I got a building sister vibe from Ohsa and Jecki because in jedi culture, that's essentially what they are. The show is kinda going nuts with the duality motif from Phantom Menace so I took it as an extension of Osha's whole thing. I also really like how Qimir's sith lessons are obviously sith lessons to everyone but Mae. I suppose it was explained that her relationship is purely transactional to her but Qimir keeps trying to get her in on the ideology. The introduction of a red lightsaber does raise an eyebrow for me since Smylo doesn't seem to be there to kill the jedi but to silence Mae. I would be disappointed if they don't do a compelling job of making the Order look less cartoonishly naive than the New Republic seems to be.
Well if you want to paint the Jedi as the bad guys, completely going against what the creator himself said about them, then Ki-Adi is the perfect character to slot into your cast.
Hi Meg, awesome news update, I enjoyed this episode, nice to see new aliens, I loved the little beaver, and the way the sith floated into view, but I do not know why mae turned against there master so quickly bur I think the man she aas with is to small to be her master, I think it is the mother who survived the fire in episode 2, this episode was better than last week but I still think it will get better, thank you SWM
I think Mae figured out that Qimir was the person behind the mask and that to kill the Jedi without a weapon, she pretends to abandon the Sith. Ultimately, she killed the wookie Jedi without a weapon by tricking Darth Teeth into doing it for her. Shes passed her test and now can face Sol.
This episode was a big improvement. It gives me hope that this series can turn around. I didn't fall asleep in this episode unlike the previous 3. Hopefully episode 5 is better again. 🤞
I love that Ki Adi Mundi was part of the cover up for the Sith. This is a nice and clever way to impact the Prequels without compromising the main characters. Ki-Adi Mundi is my favorite tertiary Jedi character, and this plot now makes him even more relevant to the Canon. Even if he didn't have bad intentions, he was part of the problem.
@@JPota08 Yes, "it was on 94bby so they changed it to prior 132 bby". Bla bla bla bla. Say something new. That tiny off-canon detail is completely besides the point. The point is that by the time of the Prequels, at least someone in the High Council was in on the cover-up. Stop parroting the only thing that obtuse, angry people have been managing to articulate so far....
@@JPota08not to say that pointing out such criticism is such a plain casual, surface-level analysis. Live action Canon is always more valuable, followed by animation and only then books, comics and reference books. That was true for the EU and it's also true for Disney Canon. Case in point: Kanan Jarrus during Order 66. Besides, no one cares about the exact date when a character died. Before being put to books, Anakin's exact age in Eps 1 and 2 was subject to discussion back in 1999 and 2002.
Why do you think he is darth plagueis instead of his master darth tenebrous? Darth Plagueis was obviously weaker in combat than his master. That's the reason why Plagueis killed Tenebrous using a 'trap' instead of head-to-head combat.
I don't know, I think describing Bazil as a beaver sniffer😳I mean sniffer beaver works. I have the same thoughts on the dialogue and chemistry between characters. The potential of this episode was huge, but the little things knock it down a few pegs. It's the best episode so far, in my opinion.
Great editing! The shot of Leslye Headland's very stiff spouse who plays Varnestra right as you comment on the "so called talent". I just about spit out my beverage. 🤣
I love the acolyte but not ep 3 the only gripe I have is there has barely been lightsabers like one with yord and one more with yord and the like skinny poison guy that gives mae the poison and one more thing the masked bad guy only appears at the end of the episodes I know we’re getting him in the next but still
Once again, an episode showing that Osha is never separated from her droid, Pip. Is she really alive or is she just a projection? Notice how Sol says that once he has Mae in custody and back on the ship he will "explain everything". What is he hiding? Does he know the truth that Mae is the only surviving twin?
The way this episode ended I hope the ISH is about to hit the fan and they don't kill the momentum they just established because finally we have some real excitement, no more silly one liner jokes no more cute moments, lets get down to business!!! I have a strange feeling they will open the next episode strong but this is Disney so we may see another flashback that kills the momentum.
@@AuntieLissi Its so insanely obvious that there is a hidden meaning behind it. Utter noobs like you calling "bad writing" when you have absolutely no clue about the art of a story is absolutely pathetic.
It could be that Mae manipulated Darth ****** into killing the Jedi to prevent himself from being ousted when she said she was going to turn herself into the Jedi to see her sister. So she killed the wookie without using weapons, in effect, and fulfiled her task to her master. I hope I'm right, otherwise her decision to leave the Sith on account of her sister far too whimsical and sudden.
Personally I think there is some really fuckery going on with Yoda. If Yoda knew of Bane's Rule of Two from a Sith Holocron or texts, they would be in the Sith section of the Archives that only Masters on the High Council were able to access. But none of the other High Council members had ever heard of the Rule of Two, even Mace seemed surprised when Yoda explained it to him. And we saw in Clone Wars S6 that Yoda immediately recognized the ghost of Darth Bane, even though he "died" around 100 years before Yoda was born. That little green bastard is hiding something from the other Jedi...
Are we sure that was Mundi? I noticed him right away and my first thought was, "Hey, that looks like Master Mundi!" But I paid close attention and didn't hear anyone address him by name, so it could just be another member of Mundi's species. I did chuckle at the civilian robe gag. I mean, it wasn't a gut-busting laugh, but it was funny. Had the "tracker for our tracker" line been delivered with a wry chuckle and grin instead of a serious annoyance, it would have been funny, too. In the beginning I though Qimir was another potential acolyte, a rival for Mae, with only one of them getting the coveted promotion to apprentice when they completed their respective tests. But now it's looking like Qimir is an apprentice. Though I doubt very much that he's the master. Did it strike anyone else as odd that Mae didn't open the door when the Jedi showed up and start warning them, or yelling for help, or at least denying that she killed Kelnacca? Lends credence to the thought that she and Osha are the same person, performing Force projection like Luke did in TLJ. Also, when did Dooku ever levitate like that? I recall him jumping off a balcony in ROTS, but I don't recall him ever levitating, not even in TCW.
I really liked this episode. How long has it been from the fire to ep #4. I think the twins which mother could be in the mask. Could she have been recruited by a Sith lord and turned in to an apprentice? She used way more power than a which should have had when blowing away the Jedi. Can't wait for ep #5
THEORY - Qimir isn't the Sith, but the helmet *is*. Much like we've seen in one of the Vader comics. In fact, it could be Darth Momin himself and this is where they found the helmet in the first place. We see Qimir carry his backpack all episode most likely to drag the helmet wherever he goes.
That was the best episode yet, but the series is still overall weak. Hope it improves in the remaining episodes. The Mother Aniseya character is listed on imdb as appearing in 5 episodes and has only appeared in one so far. She most likly related to the Dark side being in the remaining episodes.
Did noone notice that the "sith" guy has a pretty dark skin, quite visible on his hands when he force-pushes Mae and the rest of the team? That detail eliminates Quimir being the one behind the mask.
And, if they aren't informing the high council then it stands to reason not seeing yoda makes sense. They are not involving the council and handling it themselves. Plot and ki were not yet hig council so we can see the few alive who aren't.
I don't think Mae turned away from her dark side. In one TV Spot we can see her with a red lightsaber in her hands... so... i don't trust what we see here, but i loves this episode.
Did YOU enjoy The Acolyte Episode 4? What are your thoughts? 👇❤
Mae: Potion Seller, I am going into battle and require your strongest potions.
Darth Potion: You can't handle my potions, have this poison instead to kill Torbius, it's Torbin Time.
Mae: Okay, what about the Acolyte attack on the wookie?
Darth Potion: Good relations with the wookie I have, also stop misquoting Ki-Adi-Mundi, he is covering for us.
Sorry, but it's just boring. Wooden acting, stilted dialogue, cheap looking sets....it's just not grabbing me at all.
Honestly, I liked the Coruscant scenes and the Mae scenes on Khofar. But, I thought that the Jedi "hike" through Khofar could've been slimmed down. I am sad to say this but it feels like a filler episode. But who knows, we all thought the Purgill episode of Rebels was filler than Filoni made in center stage of the finale. Time will tell. But I liked the Sith part, and don't mind Mundi living longer, just hope there are no complications for TPM.
I've been a Star Wars fan since 1977, and I have enjoyed the heck out of "The Acolyte".
@@TonyMidyett I am enjoying the series as a whole and cannot wait for next week, I was just a little underwhelmed by some of the episode is all.
My theory is that Mae hasn't left the dark side. The reason Qimir has been so obviously set up as the master is so it's obvious that Mae figured him out. Once she did she baited him to come out of hiding and kill Kalnacca himself. Go back and rewatch the scene where she takes the break on the hike. Then she will tell Qimir she succeeded in killing a Jedi without a weapon because she manipulated someone else to do it for her - HIM and he fell for it. Such a very Sith thing to do.
Nice, I have yet to see such a deep twist from this show but if they can pull that off (and more) the show might redeem itself. (I hope so, because a lot of it felt bad and phoned in)
Damn….thats a really nice theory. That would be really clever. I would like that a lot. And it would make sense bc there is a shot in the Trailer where Mae fights against Jecki. So she’s not done fighting Jedi I guess.
it’s more likely mae was too overwhelmed by seeing her sister and not thinking clearly enough to unravel the sith plot. it’s like sol said it was like she became 2 different people. not to mention it seemed she was genuinely afraid once she realized he was on the planet.
It's the mum that didn't die is the master
I love this line of thought. It would mean that Qimir is invested in the death of Kalnacca outside of his investment in Mae caving to her own sense of vengeance. The question remains, why would Qimir be invested in the deaths of these specific jedi outside of his job as a dark-side teacher? It must be because either he, or his master also craves vengeance, my guess is due to the murders on the witch planet, leading me to the Darth Maul lady as suspect one.

They cant show that because the only reason the jedi of the prequel era were making mistakes is because they couldn't hear the will of or use the force that well because of dark side shading. What they are doing in this show is trying to make the jedi look bad. The Jedi would never try to sweep the reality of the Siths return under the rug because of the threat the Sith present.
no. this is a one-step-forward-two-steps-back situation : the jedi behavior in TPM made *more* sense before this episode. they've literally introduced a problem they now need to fix, when they did not need to introduce that problem at all.
The problem with this show is it drags its heels on pointless things and then when something important to the plot or interesting happens the show feels like its on fast forward, likes Mae’s sudden change of heart.
I liked this episode better than last week's. I am still keeping my mind open and trying not to formulate any judgement good or bad until I watch the last episode.

Did you actually expect results from someone who has no understanding about script writing 101. You just drop the screenshot and hopefully you don't think about it.
That is my biggest regret, not seeing more of the Jedi Wookiee😢🤬
My biggest issue with this show is the fact that they have a similar budget to a show like House of Dragon, but are almost half the duration in runtime. That's been my biggest issue with all of the Disney+ shows. Why can't we have hour-long episodes?

This particular episode length minus the recap, minus the credits was less than half an hour. Shame.
I smell a Jedi coverup. They’ve been alluding to it with how much they hide from the Senate. Who’s to say they didn’t hide the presence of the Sith. And there will be a big reason why, and the Jedi memory erasing will become relevant.
I don't really get the "there's still good in Mae" idea. She was brainwashed by her coven, tortured bugs, fought with Osha all the time, tried to kill Osha, then disappeared and presumably spent a decade continuing down a bad path. When was she good?
And then Sol's reasoning that Osha should care about Mae because "she's family." The Jedi way is to separate children from families and have no emotional connections, so does he say that just to manipulate her? Kinda weird.
I didnt see jecki and osha’s interactions as flirtatious tho…? Theyve become friends imo, and have already been on two missions together where they clicked.
Also Jecki is my fav in the series! Shes been trained obviously but u can tell shes still a thinker/analyzer. She better live cuz she gonna be a great jedi.❤
Bazil's scream when they found Mae was giving me "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" vibes.
They 💩
Wasn't it weird that Yord said he's known Osha since they were younglings and Mae has always been her wound yet earlier he said he never knew Osha was a twin??
How did that go unnoticed?
Bit late, but i saw a DOPE theory on reddit that stated that when they took a break, Mae already had a suspicion that Qimir was the masked dark side user, and that Mae deliberately "switched sides" 3 minutes after saying she "wants this more than anything" to trick Qimir into killing Kelnacca, so that Mae actually ends up accomplishing her mission which was to kill a jedi without a weapon. I pray this is the case because that would be so so cool
The term Acolyte goes back to the Old Republic era. An acolyte has no master but are hoping to earn one. Mae didn’t officially have a Master yet. This seems to have been her test to earn her the title of Apprentice.
I think, and this might be overthinking it, that Jecki wants to get closer to Osha to find out why Sol is still watching holograms of her, and displaying an affection that he has not shown to her. Jealousy and curiosity combined, but with very little malevolence behind it, if that makes sense?
When I saw all of the "nameless" Jedi along with the established characters I was thinking, "they may as well be wearing red robes..."
ensign jedi
LOL "Sniffer Beaver Goodness that sounded wrong" I fell out of my chair!
Ki Adi Mundi had like x3 wives in the EU 4:03 so he was so busy emptying bins for them all he forgot all about the Sith.
Refreshing to see a comments section full of healthy discussion and without the histrionics of some RUclips channels where they’ve already grabbed their pitchforks and lit their torches…
How are Jedi not able to detect a powerful dark side user. why are they acting like a police force outside the home? Their force sensitivity went from ridiculously good in Ashoka to nothing here. Why is the Jedi so political?
Yoda or any Jedi got blocked by the dark side. Sidious like this dude clouded all their vision.

I've been enjoying the show for the most part , I never cared about the high Republic , so this has been an interesting watch
I personally laughed at the civilian robes reveal. Do you want the comedy to hit you over the head like Thor: Love and Thunder? This is Star Wars, after all. It doesn’t need to be straight up comical.
I don’t get why she has to wear a “civilian robe” in the first place.
I don't get the civilian robe thing. Is that from another story?
@@Lilac-and-GooseberriesIt’s probably to show that they don’t have any authority when they are on a mission with the Jedi
But like when was it mentioned before this that she would wear a civilian robe?did she get a run down of the plan before? It just comes out like cliche comedy being forced into story.
I'm enjoying this series a lot; different things happening in every episode, keeping me on my toes! Good stuff!!
You have to be a casual fan if you think this is good bro. “Art is subjective” yeah alright. This show is literally breaking Canon with the force twins/ Mundi LITERALLY KNOWING THERE IS A SITH WHEN HE SAID THE SITH HAVENT BEEN AROUND FOR 1000 YEARS. This shows a joke and a punch in the dck to George Lucas Star Wars

Oh and I think the last 4 episodes are gonna mirror the first 4 but in reverse order. This episode was called Day. Episode 5 will most likely be called Night while episode 6 will be another flashback to Brendok titled Choice or Freedom or something the opposite of Destiny. Then the last two episodes will go back to the two part titles like episodes 1 and 2. Like the first 4 episodes represents the pulling of the thread - setting up the mystery. While the last 4 is the unravelling, revealing the answers to the mystery. You know, it's like poetry, it rhymes.
So the Sith Master will sing the witch song in reverse. "The power of many. The power of two. The power of one!"
I like it.
I like the Master with an Apprentice, and an apprentice with an acolyte theory.
If the "Master" turns out to be a Younger Plagueis who is still a Munn!!! And the "Apprentice" turns out to be Qimir, and the "Acolyte" in question turns out to be Mae; that could redeem the show in the eyes of most Fans. BUT we all know they're not going to do that lol.
Completely agree with your observations about the dialogue, Meg. It just frequently falls flat and doesn't feel natural.
I dunno... SW has always had really hokey dialogue that's barely performed, even in the best movies. I'm kinda used to it!
It was a definite improvement on the previous episode, but there were some very flat line readings from Dafne Keen (who can definitely act beautifully) and Amandla Stenberg. I appreciated the practical sets, but thought the Jedi chambers scenes could have been lit far better so they didn't look as cheap. The exteriors were great though.Bazil was fun.
@@MikeyAlterRed Yeah, for sure. SW has never been known for stellar acting quality, but I was more willing to overlook it when SW was fun. There's just something about this one that feels flat, and not even fun.
That little “banter” with Yord and Osha about the gun was painful.
@@paulgnsn554 Dafne Keen has a really bland voice, she was good in Logan because she didn’t say anything.
"A sniffer beaver" 😂😂 Meg!!! 😂 That came out sooooo bad.
I like the idea of dark splinter groups. I like Mundi being in the show and that he is lying and all. I was surprised Mae turned away from the dark so soon.
This kid adi mundi liar needs to be more developed. If the guy just lied without nothing to gain from it is just weird/stupid.
Do you think she turned really away? In one TV Spot we can see her with a red lightsaber in her hands... so... i don't trust what we see here
I don’t think Mundi lied. All he knows is that a former padawan and/or her twin is killing Jedi. Sith need not be involved. Not sure why this is so hard for people to understand.
@@Darth_Jawa077 We will see...
sniffer beaver 🤣🤣🤣 dying!!
The civilian uniform thing, I def chuckled. I've enjoyed the silly humor.
beaver sniffer 🐟
Bazil Oregano, incredible 😀
Dave Filoni has a lot of creative control of all of Star Wars now. So when you see a PT character, you can count on it that he knows about it.
Re the editing, Ep 3 ends with Jedi Wookiester walking into his home, er, for lack of a better word, nekkid.
Ep 4 picks up where Ep 3 ended and....Jedi Wookiester is AGAIN walking into his abode and this time he's wearing robes.
So he went inside, put some clothes on, went back outside just to walk.....back inside?
Given the series' setting around 100 BBY, it is plausible that the Sith with the red lightsaber could represent a younger Darth Plagueis, known for his obsession with cheating death and manipulating midi-chlorians to create life. Plagueis' quest for immortality could easily tie into the dark rituals and mysteries explored in "The Acolyte." His interactions with Mae and Osha could provide insights into his growing power and philosophy. Acting under the orders of his master, Darth Tenebrous, adds layers of complexity and intrigue. The twist of Darth Tenebrous being a hidden Jedi Council member would explain his covert influence and strategic planning, sending Plagueis to eliminate threats and gather knowledge without drawing attention to the Sith's resurgence.
It's a nice idea but now, considering how they've blatantly retconned Ki Adi-Mundi age just to support their thing of painting the Jedi in a bad light; If this were to happen they would most likely retcon a younger version of Plagueis anyway; probably make him one of those Kotabi race from the HR. 🤦♂
Latte Yoda with the hair is epic...LoL. Thank you for the honest review and entertaining content!
Osha & Mae are still not being shown TOGETHER at the same time in the same place. Osha separated from the group, became Mae, projected an illusion of Osha behind the group, then levitated a Sith costume toward the group and pulled a disappearing act. Later, "Osha" will appear again outside.

It sounded correct.
The Mind creates imagery from words that have multiple meanings or slang interpretations.
These concepts 'sound' alrite in our head, but once they are spoken, it may bring a pause of the flow of Energy within the Speaker, while The Mind tries to find an excuse, or say something else to avoid accoubtability after saying, "potpourri punany" & "fresh snatch aroma" or one of the Many variations of 'sniffing beaver.
Never In Less;
I enjoy your critique, reviews and updates on all things SW.
I hear Objectivity and Compassion within your Voice for this new SW series. While not sugar-coating your critique, you do give a constructive and honest review of this episode.
With that being said, as I was typing out the above paragraph, my Mind said that it is possible that the Objectivity and Compassion that I hear may simply be the Idea I have of You, as created by The Mind the accent of your speech and/or the Maturity, Experience and/or Speech training.
My point is that many Content regarding SW: The Acolyte has been very subjective and expressed from the moment of emotional reaction. I haven't watched these AARs(after-action-review) to sense the total lack of Objectivity as I can read it within the video title and the still-frame used for the video in Feeds.
They are done to create an emotional reaction within the Body and once The Mind creates this illusion(yes, the Not-Self Mind makes Maia) the viewer identifies with this feeling as the viewer identifies their Authentic-Self from what The Mind says.
When we look at this from the 'Man on A Hill' perspective, I posit that without Awareness of the conditioning and determining factors in this (backwords), many Human Beings in today's Society are living in Fantasy worlds of their own Creation in which other worlds are created within their own Creation and so on and so forth.
This is a great use of the Conceptualization process as long as One has mental-clarity or logical-feelings on the World's Within World's of The Mind.
Mental-Clarity is allowing the emotions to go thru its involuntary wave process, controlled by the Body like Breathing, and combining that 60%-70% Surety, with the 80%-100% Logic of The 1+1=2, Critical Mind.
For example: I have created a World within My Mind, based on SW Lore where, Man Kind all can use the 'Force' and it's Real, and Manifests humbly, w/o sound effects like the silence at a Rock Concert in Outer Space. I consciously know this World I created by Mind is make-believe and I exit and enter this Maia in such way that my Awareness of the Construct We Share is not distorted, ones grip on/of Reality is not lost.
Many are living Within their Solipsistic Realms of Dissonance by the Pattern of taking the Emotions or Feeling Within in the Moment as Truth and taking some type of Action from this False Truth given by a False Reality.
This is apparent as No One is all the way Good, and No One is all the Bad.
As you expressed in this Video, The Phantom Menace began here as the Beginning of The End of The Jedi Religion was not a product of or summation arising from Young Anny being too old and emotionally attached to his Mother. No, that was the effect felt a Century later.
The Cause is from those that are born with Power, are Initiated in The School of Enlightened Pompous Good, where they are Unconsciously taught the only Right Way is This Way and later they perform rituals to a Coonscious Omnipotent Invisible Light Entity and then given Authority by the Galactic Republic and Order of The Jedi Knights.....these Knights went on a Crusade to impart the Galaxy with their Order.
I do not need to summarize or, create the World of the Effects from the Cause, as We were given the SW story in this specific way as it mirrors the Program of this Simulation that was for Souls to Experience what Being A Human is for, hi-jacked by an intention of disregard, Conditional, Transactional Love, subjugation and Uncertainty.
I will Speak this into the Aether, also known as: Radio, Television, Internet.
3:56 "This thing." lol
I absolutely loved the episode, it was far more entertaining than episode 3. Keep in mind it was far from perfect but I don't expect perfection from Disney+. But without a doubt Episode 4 is the best episode of the series up to this point.
“Sniffer beaver” 😂😂 I love you Meg
It really makes me curious on why this group of Jedi doesn’t inform this to the Council?
They literally say in the episode, becuase the Council will be obligated to tell the Senate and they don't want that
So the plot can happen 🤔
the hands look like qimir's when he force flung them and he knew the Jedi were trailing them thats why he was pushing Osha.... The writing tho...Mae just decides, hay my sister is alive lets talk to the jedi after you supposedly killed several of them and was evil as a kid? I dunno man
It seemed you me that Mae had time to think about it and struggle with making a decision. She just had to make a plan to ditch Qimir.
She thought he sister and best friend was dead. It’s more believable than the guy you’ve known for 15 years has been hiding force powers. He’s also trained in the dark side and is a Sith master believe everything he says even though he’s lied for your whole time knowing him. Now go slaughter everyone you’ve ever known and cared for even children all in 15 minutes for promises he makes over a dream that may not happen.
She is desperate, she thinks it's impossible to complete her task and that her master will kill her for that. Better take her chances with the Jedi
Mae’s sudden switch is because of the strength of the force Dyad. She had nothing to live for before and was ok going on a suicide mission for power. Now she’s connected with Osha again in the force and doesn’t want to die anymore. It doesn’t feel rushed at all when you consider the force connection to Osha affecting her turn. Osha is changing abruptly now too and feels more connected and powerful with the force because she’s connected stronger to Mae now, and Mae is a lot more connected and powerful with the force than Osha.
I've been loving this show Meg. I agree the dialogue has been "off" but that's consistent issue with Star Wars. It's definitely not Oscar material LOL. I was bothered by the way it ended though. That masked dark side user is sweet & the force pushes look like something out of a video game.
This episode really hit for me. Some cool shots, good pacing, soundtrack was super mysterious, characters are feeling more familiar and likeable.
Clunky dialog is a Star Wars thing. Clunky dialog is throughout the films other series.
Your Pod Meg, said all brilliantly. I agree with you 💯.
2nd 4 episodes will IMO need a more dynamic direction.
Ep 4 was thankfully not too long, but did end with a "No!" from me. Cliffhanger 👏
i like that ki adi mundi got a cameo before he was even born. he is -39
its a sperm force-ghost... duhh..
We don’t know when he was born in canon
Legends isn’t canon
Did you WATCH the video??? She literally addresses that people are reading the legends page lmao and not the canon one, READ PEOPLE PLEASE READ
@@GazingTrandoshan but there is not a canon date i think, and an age could be canon from a legends book, and i did watch the video

Sniffing beavers you had me rolling.
Thanks Meg. Excellent points

"... going on a suicide mission for power." 🤔 How does that work exactly?
The force push was seen in Episode 3 by the mother. Is the mother the master seeking revenge for her lost witches?
This would be a great twist.
I was hoping that when she said "its impossible" she was going to feign turning herself in so the wookie would lower his guard and she could kill him without a weapon, but that's not where they went
I thought the same thing. I thought she was being smart and setting things up but then it just turned out she really had turned that fast.
I am enjoying it. It's hard to explain my concerns, I feel like the episodes are building to something that will hopefully be clever as a whole, but they're kind of unsatisfying individually at times. Maybe part of it is that we are being shown things from a certain perspective that is not reliable.
Plo kooon was alive Mundi wasnt odd to use him instead of plo. Since it's Dave's favorite besides assoka. Making the jedi seem like the bad guys doesn't mean you have to make them dumb.
There are several things that come to mind. One, Vernestra’s response of not wishing to reveal this issue to the Jedi Council is highly suspicious. Is it possible she’s behind the killing of the 4 Jedi Masters because they were acting on her orders on Brendock? I’m also not sure all dark force users are Sith. Look at the power of Baylon in Ahsoka. He clearly behaved as a Sith, but was a Dark Jedi. I’m not confident we should only think Sith as the bad guys. I also wonder if Koril might be the Dark Force user behind this. She seemed to always challenge Mother Aniseya and I think this might be a portion of which we don’t know. Did Koril start the fire, save Mae, and create the opposite of what Sol created? Sol made Osha a jedi and Koril made Mae an assassin. I agree we already have met the Dark Force user and Koril killing Mother Aniseya would certainly bring out Mae’s anger and then blame it on the Jedi. Qimir being the Dark Force baddie is too obvious. I think we are in for real surprise that will rock our world.
I'm really liking the series despite the criticism, my only gripe is killing off certain characters before they have been given a chance to shine more without giving too many spoilers away. I do hope we get more from Lesley too in the future. There I have said it ❤
“God that sounded wrong.” First time I’ve ever laughed at this show, never knew you had it in you Meg! 😂😂
Sniff’er Beaver!!! Hahaha! You could hear the deadpan on your voice with the oopsie!
The Sith swept through all the Jedi with ease. That was crazy
So I guess it's similar to Sidious, Tyranus and Ventress.
I got a building sister vibe from Ohsa and Jecki because in jedi culture, that's essentially what they are. The show is kinda going nuts with the duality motif from Phantom Menace so I took it as an extension of Osha's whole thing. I also really like how Qimir's sith lessons are obviously sith lessons to everyone but Mae. I suppose it was explained that her relationship is purely transactional to her but Qimir keeps trying to get her in on the ideology.
The introduction of a red lightsaber does raise an eyebrow for me since Smylo doesn't seem to be there to kill the jedi but to silence Mae. I would be disappointed if they don't do a compelling job of making the Order look less cartoonishly naive than the New Republic seems to be.
Bazil - i love this guy! ❤🎉🎉 Strong episode for me
Hey Meg, I bet the witch’s chanting wouldn’t have bothered you if it were in Latin or some obscure in universe language.
Actually, it might not have sounded as silly.
That’s what they should have done
Anyone who's bothered by the chanting has had the fortune of never being close to a cult. They love their singing as it's an indoctrination tool.
I actually like it. The power of MANNNNNYYYY!
Chanting in Latin would've made about as much sense as everything else in this debacle 🤔
Well if you want to paint the Jedi as the bad guys, completely going against what the creator himself said about them, then Ki-Adi is the perfect character to slot into your cast.
Has anyone mused on Qimer being a play on 'Chimera'? I don't think I've seen it anywhere
..
Hi Meg, awesome news update, I enjoyed this episode, nice to see new aliens, I loved the little beaver, and the way the sith floated into view, but I do not know why mae turned against there master so quickly bur I think the man she aas with is to small to be her master, I think it is the mother who survived the fire in episode 2, this episode was better than last week but I still think it will get better, thank you SWM
I think Mae figured out that Qimir was the person behind the mask and that to kill the Jedi without a weapon, she pretends to abandon the Sith. Ultimately, she killed the wookie Jedi without a weapon by tricking Darth Teeth into doing it for her. Shes passed her test and now can face Sol.
This episode was a big improvement. It gives me hope that this series can turn around. I didn't fall asleep in this episode unlike the previous 3. Hopefully episode 5 is better again. 🤞
MEG! I need a Tee shirt that says "SNIFFER BEAVER" in your merch store ASAP! 🤣
I love that Ki Adi Mundi was part of the cover up for the Sith. This is a nice and clever way to impact the Prequels without compromising the main characters.
Ki-Adi Mundi is my favorite tertiary Jedi character, and this plot now makes him even more relevant to the Canon. Even if he didn't have bad intentions, he was part of the problem.
He wasn't even born yet
@@JPota08 Yes, "it was on 94bby so they changed it to prior 132 bby".
Bla bla bla bla. Say something new.
That tiny off-canon detail is completely besides the point. The point is that by the time of the Prequels, at least someone in the High Council was in on the cover-up.
Stop parroting the only thing that obtuse, angry people have been managing to articulate so far....
@@JPota08not to say that pointing out such criticism is such a plain casual, surface-level analysis. Live action Canon is always more valuable, followed by animation and only then books, comics and reference books.
That was true for the EU and it's also true for Disney Canon. Case in point: Kanan Jarrus during Order 66.
Besides, no one cares about the exact date when a character died. Before being put to books, Anakin's exact age in Eps 1 and 2 was subject to discussion back in 1999 and 2002.
@@thestarkknightreturns and that was his Legends birth date, he doesn't even have one in canon
@@matheusfernandes2102 Exactly, I'm so fed up by these basic cave people copying each other's objections just to pose as actual fans...
Why do you think he is darth plagueis instead of his master darth tenebrous? Darth Plagueis was obviously weaker in combat than his master. That's the reason why Plagueis killed Tenebrous using a 'trap' instead of head-to-head combat.
I love this show, it's so much fun to see the jedi a century before the stuff we are familiar with!
I enjoyed it, especially laughing at Yord!😂 The ending was creepy.😮
I don't know, I think describing Bazil as a beaver sniffer😳I mean sniffer beaver works. I have the same thoughts on the dialogue and chemistry between characters. The potential of this episode was huge, but the little things knock it down a few pegs. It's the best episode so far, in my opinion.
Great editing! The shot of Leslye Headland's very stiff spouse who plays Varnestra right as you comment on the "so called talent". I just about spit out my beverage. 🤣
I love the acolyte but not ep 3 the only gripe I have is there has barely been lightsabers like one with yord and one more with yord and the like skinny poison guy that gives mae the poison and one more thing the masked bad guy only appears at the end of the episodes I know we’re getting him in the next but still
Finally got a suspenseful scene at least
Thanks Meg👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🌺
Plagues was the master Palpatine was the apprentice and Darth Maul was the Acolyte
There has to be a reason ki agreed to keep things quiet
Thanks Meg! 🙏
Once again, an episode showing that Osha is never separated from her droid, Pip. Is she really alive or is she just a projection? Notice how Sol says that once he has Mae in custody and back on the ship he will "explain everything". What is he hiding? Does he know the truth that Mae is the only surviving twin?
The way this episode ended I hope the ISH is about to hit the fan and they don't kill the momentum they just established because finally we have some real excitement, no more silly one liner jokes no more cute moments, lets get down to business!!! I have a strange feeling they will open the next episode strong but this is Disney so we may see another flashback that kills the momentum.
Can’t believe we didn’t see the battle between the Wookie and the Sith Lady!!
Mae: "I want this more than anything!"
Also Mae same scene 3 minutes later: "I'll turn myself over to the Jedi! They'll understand"
Its so bad writing. Its silly.
@@AuntieLissi Its so insanely obvious that there is a hidden meaning behind it. Utter noobs like you calling "bad writing" when you have absolutely no clue about the art of a story is absolutely pathetic.
It could be that Mae manipulated Darth ****** into killing the Jedi to prevent himself from being ousted when she said she was going to turn herself into the Jedi to see her sister. So she killed the wookie without using weapons, in effect, and fulfiled her task to her master. I hope I'm right, otherwise her decision to leave the Sith on account of her sister far too whimsical and sudden.
Personally I think there is some really fuckery going on with Yoda. If Yoda knew of Bane's Rule of Two from a Sith Holocron or texts, they would be in the Sith section of the Archives that only Masters on the High Council were able to access. But none of the other High Council members had ever heard of the Rule of Two, even Mace seemed surprised when Yoda explained it to him. And we saw in Clone Wars S6 that Yoda immediately recognized the ghost of Darth Bane, even though he "died" around 100 years before Yoda was born. That little green bastard is hiding something from the other Jedi...
Utidiiiiiii 🎉❤😊 I have to rewatch...I missed something critical
Are we sure that was Mundi? I noticed him right away and my first thought was, "Hey, that looks like Master Mundi!" But I paid close attention and didn't hear anyone address him by name, so it could just be another member of Mundi's species.
I did chuckle at the civilian robe gag. I mean, it wasn't a gut-busting laugh, but it was funny.
Had the "tracker for our tracker" line been delivered with a wry chuckle and grin instead of a serious annoyance, it would have been funny, too.
In the beginning I though Qimir was another potential acolyte, a rival for Mae, with only one of them getting the coveted promotion to apprentice when they completed their respective tests. But now it's looking like Qimir is an apprentice. Though I doubt very much that he's the master.
Did it strike anyone else as odd that Mae didn't open the door when the Jedi showed up and start warning them, or yelling for help, or at least denying that she killed Kelnacca? Lends credence to the thought that she and Osha are the same person, performing Force projection like Luke did in TLJ.
Also, when did Dooku ever levitate like that? I recall him jumping off a balcony in ROTS, but I don't recall him ever levitating, not even in TCW.
He did in clone wars 2003 animated shorts.
"Master Ki-Adi Mundi" was created in the cast. I cant remember who the actor was who played him. But it was listed with the character in the credits.
Look the acolyte is what the Jedi gonna call this force user instead of calling him a sith probably a cover up that affects the Jedi 100 years later
I really liked this episode. How long has it been from the fire to ep #4. I think the twins which mother could be in the mask. Could she have been recruited by a Sith lord and turned in to an apprentice? She used way more power than a which should have had when blowing away the Jedi. Can't wait for ep #5
Why would Qui Gon suspect a Sith ? When Darkside force masters with red sabers and goth outfits are popping up twice a generation?
THEORY - Qimir isn't the Sith, but the helmet *is*. Much like we've seen in one of the Vader comics. In fact, it could be Darth Momin himself and this is where they found the helmet in the first place. We see Qimir carry his backpack all episode most likely to drag the helmet wherever he goes.
Another great episode to add to Star Wars Canon. 💜
That was the best episode yet, but the series is still overall weak. Hope it improves in the remaining episodes. The Mother Aniseya character is listed on imdb as appearing in 5 episodes and has only appeared in one so far. She most likly related to the Dark side being in the remaining episodes.
The council covers this whole event up. Ki become part of the council and become Allies.
It felt cheap and campy for Mae to discover Kelnacca dead. This show had us watch him boil kale instead of witnessing his death.
Did noone notice that the "sith" guy has a pretty dark skin, quite visible on his hands when he force-pushes Mae and the rest of the team? That detail eliminates Quimir being the one behind the mask.
And, if they aren't informing the high council then it stands to reason not seeing yoda makes sense. They are not involving the council and handling it themselves. Plot and ki were not yet hig council so we can see the few alive who aren't.
I don't think Mae turned away from her dark side. In one TV Spot we can see her with a red lightsaber in her hands... so... i don't trust what we see here, but i loves this episode.
