I get Qui Gon vibes from Sol as well, which is neat! Yord to me feels very much like foreshadowing what the Jedi become in the prequel era, with how they carry themselves and handle various situations.
Can we talk about how on this episode we watched a Jedi commit s*icide!? Like imagine someone doing something that made them feel so guilty that they willingly drink poison. I am very much looking forward to learning more of the context!
Idk if anyone’s played SWTOR here but this storyline is looking pretty similar to the Jedi counselor story path in the game. Seems a lot of Jedi in the past had dark secrets. Might’ve been their downfall
My guess is that the 4 Jedi on that planet became aware of identical twins who were Force Sensitive and wondered what would happen if one were trained as a Jedi and one was not, and set up the fire and told each twin that the other one had started the fire but had perished. Some kind of wild, wacky, Jedi version of My Fair Lady.
In a Vader comic, Vader was tasked with ending a Jedi with no weapon as a test for Sidious. If he did, he could then take the crystal and bleed it to get his Sith red saber
@@Dzzimmy she killed her with a weapon. maybe she's allowed to steal the saber mid-fight, but can't actually win the fight using weapons she brought with her?
@@Dzzimmy ye what the other guy said, Indara was killed with a weapon, her own weapon. Maybe it'd be different if she were able to get the lightsaber and then kill the Jedi since then she'd have claimed her enemies kyber crystal.
he was tasked with ending a jedi with no lightsaber, this trial is similar but different (i read the comic again to check on the barash vow), when Vader ultimately kills master Infil'a, he fights him with an electrosaber at first so even if he ultimately force chokes him, it is evident that the no weapon rule didnt really apply
Anyone else think it's pretty significant that Qimir played dumb when the Jedi caught him, and they didn't sense anything? They made a point of showing later in the episode that Sol can sense Mae's thoughts, but nothing with Qimir earlier. Either it's bad writing OR Qimir is a pretty skilled force user who can mask himself like Palpatine does.

@za-ir5ni I agree toxic positivity can be bad also, but they just seem like normal dudes enjoying something they like. And it is nice not to see the people who go looking for reasons to get annoyed about everything.
Theory: the Jedi find 8-year-old force-sensitive twins and want to take them away to be trained, but the community objects. Somehow the conflict spirals out of hand, people get killed, maybe Mae uses the dark side so now she's too dangerous to train. The Jedi deliberately abandon her to death and take just "the good twin", modifying Osha's memory of the particulars to prevent her from falling too
@Naxx03 Nah, I think they understand that Star Wars is just entertainment and not real life. No reason to go all nuclear with negativity over fictional stories.
I'm with Rick on the Assassin's Creed Rogue type of Star Wars game. Even in the 1st episode when she was fighting Indara, I was like "I want to play a game like this." A Force ninja hunting Jedi. I mean, The Force Unleashed was you basically being an Inquistor. A Force ninja would be a totally different experience. Especially with her not really being dark or light.
Its refreshing with genuine fan reactions.. with how many books, movies, and tv shows around with different stories.. its sad when certain reaction channels choose to react to something they clearly dont like. Thank you for being true fans.
Those are what they used to call hate watchers. The more negative they can be the more interaction they get. I used to watch dozens of channels for their star wars content but now I'm down to just this channel. So many channels have embrace the hate culture nowadays. They hate on everything star wars before even a trailer comes out then when they watch the thing they said in their comments they have no interest in watching 'but they're going to give it a chance '..right..they nitpick it to death to justify their reasons for hating it in the first place.then they claim to be huge fans. This channel doesn't like everything star wars but it seems as though this is the only channel to give it a fair shot of what they're watching.
@@ghostlee6434 it's the biggest ick for me as a fan because I'll have my personal criticism but it's usually revolves around character choices vs nitpicking at random shit like the color of robes.. and stating prior they never read any High Republic stuff so they have no context.. Complains everything is the same but still complains if something is perceivably different..
I have a funny feeling about Qimir (Manny Jacinto). I wonder if he isn't the master. It was just the way he looked at the twin. His demeanor changed. He also evaded her attack like a jedi. Plus how did he find out where the Wookie was located. I just think there is more to him than meets the eye. Really enjoying the mystery aspect and what it is these Jedi did.
eric is confusing Osha and Mae with the "she killed my family" thing. It was Osha who said that not Mae. Osha was talking about Mae killing their family with the fire.
@@smittyjjensin558if he is the Sith Lord he would obviously be pretending to be clumsy.. just like how Palpatine pretended to be this nice defenseless old man.
I disagree. I don't think he's necessarily the Sith. I think he's another competing acolyte. Because it seems like whoever this sith is he's testing Mae and others to find a worthy apprentice. But also I don't think he's a Sith Lord. I think he's a Sith apprentice.
@@DarksideGmss0513 I had the same thought too, because at this point Darth Tenebrous should be the current Sith Lord, maybe Darth Plagueis if we push it, and both are (if we keep to Legends) a Bith and a Muun respectively. And this masked figure doesn't look alien enough to be either species. And if people say this breaks the Rule of Two if both Tenebrous and Plagueis are alive and kicking, all I have to say is that the Sith break the Rule of Two all the time. Dooku had Asajj and later Savage (and outright told the latter that they would overthrow Darth Sidious), while Palpatine started grooming Anakin while he still had Dooku.
I think most likely the sith we saw at the end of episode 1 is the apprentice searching for their own apprentice to overthrow their master hence the existence of the Acolytes the emphasis on Mae attempting to take the lightsabers only strengthens this idea as within the current canon it is a sith right of passage to kill a jedi with their own lightsaber while being unarmed as we see Vader do in the comics. Most likely the unknown sith is preparing Mae to be his apprentice and challenge the current sith master.
For a show that is venturing into new Canon territory, I think it's doing well. The reason why she took her daggers out of the ground but left Indara's lightsaber on the floor is because she can't use her saber because she beat her with a weapon. If she beats a Jedi without a weapon, she can claim that saber and bleed the crystal to access her red saber. The "She" that she's referring to is Mae. The Jedi don't draw sabers, well, the uptight, new knights do, but the veteran Jedi don't, because there have been no Sith for centuries and we have yet to see a bad guy with even a blaster. The High Republic Jedi basically eradicated all "evil". This show is exploring new territory and I love it.
The show isn’t perfect, but it’s DAMN close. Really, *really* good, and it’s (again) so nice to watch a reaction from real Star Wars fans who are just appreciating the show for what it’s giving.
As per usual, the show is made to look worse by weird marketing. It's definitely not "the next Andor", but so far, it is a fairly solid show with a few standout characters. Complete judgement should be reserved until the end, but it does look fairly interesting.
That was my thought too. I think Mae is supposed to kill a Jedi barehanded and bring the saber to the Sith. Maybe that's his test for Mae to graduate from Acolyte to Apprentice.
@Stygiophobic fair but also she didn't kill them without weapons, she used knives and poison. I think she had to kill them without weapons to prove that she's worthy and that's why she didn't take their sabers, cause she didn't succeed in killing them without weapons
I don't think it is on the level of Andor yet. But it definitely has promise. Just having Star Wars be less Skywalker centric is positive for me. The universe has been so fleshed out for so many decades and we've rarely seen most of it on screen to this point. I'm also a Rebels fan. I appreciate when we get new characters and explore new aspects
I dont think this series can even remotely compare to Andor - I would put this more on par with Kenobi or BOBF. That said though, I think Acolyte is much better than people are making it out to be. The backlash has been crazy. Yes there are flaws but so far it is entertaining and fans should be grateful that we are getting so much good content. Still much better than the Sequel trilogy (which is the only major sin that Disney has made imo)
16:39 Sol didn't have to protect anyone though. Indara was killed because she was focused on the bartender and his patrons. If it were just her and Mae fighting, the fight would have ended differently. If Torbin fought back, Mae wouldn't have been able to touch him; his connection to the force is like something we've never seen before.
My theory so far: Mae and Osha's mothers were night sisters/dark force users. The 4 Jedi investigated and sought and end to it, but a fire broke out and Mae thought Jedi killed her moms and her sister, while Osha thought Mae set the fire to kill Osha and moms. Torbin feels guilty over the deaths, hence took the poison. All 4 Jedi felt guilty, so they agreed on the story that Mae set the fire (perhaps because Osha suggests it when trying to find out what happened).
Im also curious the Mae visions that Osha is seeing. Osha has seen Mae through the force 2 times already and one of those times they had a literal talk. But here its revealed that Mae alsk didn't know Osha was alive. So then Mae isnt communing with Osha through the force, but someone is showing something to Osha, so is it maybe this new Sith is the one showing these visions to Osha? But why, if he has Mae?
I have a theory in regards to “an Acolyte kills without a weapon” She starts out fighting them hand to hand and attempting to take their sabers during it. When she fails she switches to her throwing blades. I think the goal is to kill a Jedi with their own weapon and claim it as your own. Vader fought a Jedi without a weapon to acquire his lightsaber (the weapon he used he took from the Jedi’s training droid).
I don't know may use a dagger on the first Jedi she killed and she didn't take the lightsaber maybe because she knew she didn't rightfully earned it and she probably didn't take the lightsaber from the second Jedi too because she convinced him to kill himself by drinking the poison therefore she didn't kill him without a weapon!
When she tried attacking Torbin and couldn't get through, I was laughing (WITH the show, not AT it). I honestly need that to be a GIF. "What it feels like blocking out the haters."
Watched the 1st 2, but Im not finding it compelling much. The production is great, and it looks really good asthetically. The story however, isnt good. I caught myself yawning a few times and i had to rewatch a few parts because my mind wandered off. Fight scenes look great even if no lightsabers. Characters are pretty bland, usless showcasing (what was the purpose of half naked Yord? Comedic purpose? Delivery was a flop), you walk into a crime scene and your 1st action is to pick up the poison bottle? The 1st time reuniting with your sister and you take a shot? Idk i just dont feel invested at all. Despite that, i do like the world they seem to be building. Listening to your review, im not sure you guys are being objective. It sounds like youre looking for ways to make sense. "Maybe he did this because...., maybe he still eats but goes back to meditating...., maybe she didnt have," and so on. And thats what i find the problem. Youre looking to justify things for the writers, not the writers showing you/explaining it/showcasing it. Glad that you guys are enjoying it though. I dont agree with some of your reviews, i think you may be biased looking for positive prospects and avoiding to be critical. Either case, keep doing what youre doing.
I like this show so far. It’s interesting to see the Jedi in an antagonistic role while the sith and their “allies” are the protagonists in live action. Although, it does still feel like something is missing from the show. I can’t quite explain what yet. That could change in the coming episodes though so we’ll see.
It seems that Torbin is the only one who knows that both sisters were still alive. So it seems he must have known more than anyone else, other then perhaps the wookie what happened. Also if the sisters didn't know each other was alive, who sent that force vision of her sister in the first episode. The sith lord?
My guess is that the 4 Jedi on that planet became aware of identical twins who were Force Sensitive and wondered what would happen if one were trained as a Jedi and one was not, and set up the fire and told each twin that the other one had started the fire but had perished. Some kind of wild, wacky, Jedi version of My Fair Lady.
so nice to be able to watch other people enjoying a thing i enjoyed. i keep seeing video titles pop up everywhere just dripping with anger and copium. thankfully i avoid those types of channels as much as i can, but i just don't understand what there is to hate about it so far. like, sure, it's not ***THE BEST*** Star Wars thing ever, but it's still quite good from my perspective. i've got my own minor gripes with some of the dialog and a few moments of acting, but otherwise i'm really loving it. interesting story, mostly great writing, acting, directing... cinematography? there's some really gorgeous scenes just in the first two episodes already. anyway, can't wait for the rest of the show. i keep hearing rumblings about some rumor out there having to do with episode 3 and that it will supposedly make all of us low-life enjoyers-of-a-show suddenly turn 180 degrees on it in unison and revolt, or some other such bullshit lol, but honestly i don't see that happening. i guess we'll find out soon!
I was hoping that this was a show from the point of view of the Sith like they said it would be when it was announced. Hopefully it focuses more on the Sith and their history as the show goes on.
I remember the first description of the show sounding more like _Rise of the Red Blade,_ with a female dark side protagonist. I'm still excited/invested for _The Acolyte,_ but I wonder what it would have looked like.
Im trying really hard to figure out if this story really even needed Star Wars at all. The Jedi could just as easy be written as FBI and the whole story takes place on Earth.
i get y'all are probably gonna rewatch the episode and figure stuff out anyway but my takeaway from the whole 'not using a weapon' thing is that it literally means completely unarmed. The sith in ep1 said "steel and laser are no threat to them" which rules out the knives and they mentioned the poison wouldnt count either this episode. But she only needs to kill ONE of them unarmed to pass her trial. There seems to be a lot of 'the jedi wont strike to kill unless their lives are at risk' so an acolyte that uses no weapons is more of a threat/jedi killer than someone who does and based off of the fights we've seen Mae (May? Mei? idk the spelling) hasnt used her knives until she's failed to disarm them of the lightsaber first (there was that one she threw at the start of the sol fight but it was aimed at the ground to stop them/as a warning not actually 'at' them....i assume the plan is to disarm, then you can go all out and by the time they realise their life is actually in danger they cant draw a lightsaber and insta win and that pride/confidence is their downfall or something.
The first episode didn't immediately hook me but this episode makes me want to see how the story evolves this season. There's a couple of potentially good storylines brewing.
The first episode ends with the master saying, "You have to kill the dream," and I think the 'no weapon' rule has to do with that. He wants Mae to destroy the Jedi's concept of peace, probably by utilizing the guilt they feel over whatever happened on her home planet. I'm guessing maybe he wants her to convince or trick one of them into betraying the Jedi order in some way out of their guilt? idk
another explanation why mae tried to take the lightsaber , in star wars the clone wars season 2 episode 11 when ahsoka lose is lightsaber and says to the librarian while talking about anakin "he has already told me 100 times your lightsaber is your life you must never lose it" probably a lesson learned from the collective past of the order
Master Torbin is played by the actor who was Tommen Beratheon on Game of Thrones, they put a beard and balding wig on him to make him look 16 years older.
You know those aren't very accurate anymore; only the people with those specific apps are tracked by them, and I'd guess people who want to know the dislike ratio are more likely to dislike.
1:38 Assassin’s Creed Rogue was where you played as an Assassin who defected to the Templars and exterminated most of the Brotherhood in colonial America
Leia didn't come back from her space swim like: "Hey you guys, you can still hear everything out there!" I'm pedantic. Osha tanked a planetary re-entry impact. Did she learn that at space-firefighter academy? It's always the failed opportunity that hits hardest with these efforts. My suggestion scene: She's strapped in to her chair when she glances at a untethered mech-nic crate... unlocks it with her Swiss Army droid.... Yay a spacesuit, a star-warsie helmet, and some mag-boots! The ship's breaking up... osha struggles on the ''wing'' surfing atmosphere like it's Dark Star... a leap of faith (the force?)... Some free fall... a cool parachute... big shot of flaming inferno as she floats onto a desolate planet. More drama? Do the damaged chute trope and high speed impact into snow. She's got a sprained ankle oh no, and the Jedi save her from hungry space Yeti. Yes still ridiculous, but It connects her skillset to survival. It's epic, and It's narrowly plausible. But no, just ignore the campfire in space. It looks like her burned childhood trauma ok. duh.
I like how both Osha and the Jedi just assumed Mae would have the exact same hairstyle as Osha. >_> Or the fact that she actually *does* have the same hairstyle. xD
They really focus the shots when Mae tries to take the saber of the Jedi she fights. Plus, in the first episode, after she killed Indara, they focus on her lightsaber laying on the ground and, i expected Mae to pull the saber into her hands with the Force when she walked away and left the bar, but instead, she just summoned her daggers. And we know from the canon Vader-comics that Sidious instructed Vader to kill a Jedi, take his saber and bleed the Jedi's crystal to make his own saber. Now, Sidious, iirc, had no problems with Vader using a borrowed saber to kill his target, but maybe what we see here is an older custom in the Rule of Two, especially when there _might_ be more than one acolyte and they compete with each other, where an acolyte has to prove themselves by actively disarming a Jedi and robbing them of their weapon (and we all know how important a lightsaber is to a Jedi, "This weapon is your life!" and kyber crystals essentially being sentient in canon and all that). Which would also explain why Mae took neither Indara's nor Torbin's lightsaber after they had died. And i like all the unarmed fighting so far. For one, it shows that these Jedi really adhere to their Peacekeeper-rules, and Jedi would only draw a saber if they absolutely had to. Plus, it's just fun. Most Jedi were in peak physical condition and trained fighters, had enhanced reflexes, speed and strenght. It makes sense that they would be able to hold their own in CQC without having to rely on a saber. I remember the novelization of Attack of the Clones, where Obi-Wan and Jango spent more time fighting hand to hand on Kamino than they did in the movie, i liked that, too.
There is nothing “wrong” with Yord, Yord is refreshing! Yes, he does have a stick up his butt, but he won’t blame Osha for the murders when evidence says she isn’t, nor will he complain that his plan isn’t taken when Jackie’s is obviously better. I love how he desperately wants to be a teachers-pet, but then always fails to succeed! Also, sorry but Palpetine is an unreliable-narrator, of course he is gonna blame Jedi for being power-hungry! Palpetine is wrong! Sith and Jedi do not want the same things, he only said that to blur the lines for Anakin. Are the Jedi perfect? No, but there is still an incredible difference.
Didn't they state in phantom menace that the sith hadn't been seen for about a 1000 years. With this being set around 100 years before phantom menace, either the jedi forgot about what will happen in this series or my prediction is that most of these jedi won't survive by the end of this series.
23:47 The "no weapon" policy has two possible outcomes. One non-jedi person kills 4 jedi and one of them without a weapon - it is very bad for jedi reputation. It is even worse if the armed jedi kills the unarmed person. In both cases the "sith" gets what he wants.
there is a very thin line between what should the jedi do when it comes to war because we have seen the jedi play it both ways and neither ultimately ended up being right. on the one side we have their response during the clone wars where they were quick to respond when the republic was threatned. on the other hand we have the their response during the mandalorian war where they did not act and so many lost their lives and the republic nearly fell.
I'd like to believe that the Master is a Sith given the allusion to the Sith code. With the Acolyte being 100 years before the Empire, that puts the current Sith Lord being Darth Plagueis or his master, Darth Tenebrous (assuming Tenebrous is canon). We know Sith are still operating in the shadows, having yet to reveal themselves to the Jedi since that takes place in Phantom Menace. The philosophy we got in the last episode is curious. The Jedi being in a proverbial dream shared by all and that the dream is killed when a Jedi is killed without a weapon. Hopefully we'll see more of this Master and find out if he's actually a Sith or simply a dark-side user who adopted certain tenets of Sith ideology.
I like how they avoid pulling out their lightsabres as long as possible, unlike all the media set in later era's where they immediately go to their lightsabres. Wonder if that is an example of how the Jedi changed over the next 100 years. Except for Yord, he whips it out every chance he gets. I think whatever happened in the past the Jedi went into a situation not fully understanding what was going on and botched the situation escalating it or failing to prevent the fire and Osha's families death.
i believe the "running out of time" statement means that she has 4 jedi she needs to kill. 1 was already killed with a weapon and if she uses poison to kill the next one she'll have gone through half of them. she only has 2 left at that point and one of the remaining jedi is a wookie.
The fight choreography has been really good! The way the Jedi fights here reminds me a lot of Tai Chi where they use a lot of slow and flowing movements
Qmir dropping lines from the Sith Code like its no big deal. And yeah, he's wearing the dead apothecary's clothes to "blend in"... Man is CLEARLY more than an underworld fixer, and has creepy puppetmaster masquerading as a "fool" all over him.... Darth JarJar all over again, but really. Look how even HE manhandles Mae. Question is now, is he the Master, or the Apprentice guiding this Acolyte business along?🤔 If Mae wants to impress The Master she wouldn't have used poison, she would have gotten in Torben's head like Hannibal Lechter and had him turn his lightsaber on himself.🚩💀🚩 >Breaking HoloNewsNet< ⛩️👀⛩️ "Unregistered Force User uses ALL the [Pocket Sand], it was super effective.
I think the Jedi, particularly Sol, wanted to avoid Mae and Osha coming into contact. He even jumped at the chance to lead the investigation. “Please let me take accountability” yo he really just wants to make sure the Jedi council doesn’t find out the truth *possibly* Mae might very well be the only other person that may know what the Jedi are lying about. A big thing about the Jedi in this show is that they are very manipulative. With people. With the truth. I fully expect OSHA to lose faith in the Jedi and join her sister. At least that’s what I hope for. Having the series end with both protagonists being sith would be different and cool.
Maybe it’s kind of like a Luke-Kylo thing where Luke saw the darkness he would bring and thought it was the right thing to stop him but then that’s what put him on that path
In the Darth Vader comic its revealed that Vader took his kyber crystal from a Jedi Master who survived the purge because he had taken the Barash Vow, Jedi battle master Kirak Infil'a.
I’ve heard the “No Blade, No Lazer” thing explained something like….You can kill a Jedi with a lazer or Blade, but there will still be more Jedi. But if you kill what they stand for they will truly be killed.
So far, I'm really loving the show. I can see it becoming better and better if we get multiple seasons like Game of Thrones, Clone Wars, or Andor. A lot of great potential with new characters and new world-building Star Wars lore. Can't wait for more!
I am wondering what they did that was so unforgiveable for the four jedies, to the point wher Tobin chose the poison! My guess is that they made the twins forget what really happened and also made them believe each other died in the fire. But it must also be more thsn that i feel

@za-ir5ni I agree toxic positivity can be bad also, but they just seem like normal dudes enjoying something they like.
And it is nice not to see the people who go looking for reasons to get annoyed about everything.
Theory:
the Jedi find 8-year-old force-sensitive twins and want to take them away to be trained, but the community objects. Somehow the conflict spirals out of hand, people get killed, maybe Mae uses the dark side so now she's too dangerous to train. The Jedi deliberately abandon her to death and take just "the good twin", modifying Osha's memory of the particulars to prevent her from falling too
Ooh, I like that.
They've definitely been emphasizing the jedi mind wipes/abilities a lot those two episodes
Yes, I agree with this theory, especially regarding their mothers and the village. They do sound like Darksiders so far.
Lee Juang Jae killed it as Sol, and his mastery of English is equally impressive.
Sol and Qui Gon no doubt have vibed with him so well.
Im so happy you guys are positive. Its hard to find it nowadays with star wars
I have worked incredibly hard on my YT algorithm and luckily dodge the worst of the worst on my feed.
Only seeing like 5-6 channels that's positive. Most other channels is "Star Wars bad and needs to die off." It's nuts the hate for Star Wars.
That’s why they are the best most genuine channel around.
@@jinxie712 You need to understand that negativity attracts viewers and therefore makes money.
Don't let it get to you.
@Naxx03 Nah, I think they understand that Star Wars is just entertainment and not real life. No reason to go all nuclear with negativity over fictional stories.
I think Yord's eagerness to draw his saber is just his youth showing; he only made Knight a couple years ago.
I'm with Rick on the Assassin's Creed Rogue type of Star Wars game. Even in the 1st episode when she was fighting Indara, I was like "I want to play a game like this." A Force ninja hunting Jedi. I mean, The Force Unleashed was you basically being an Inquistor. A Force ninja would be a totally different experience. Especially with her not really being dark or light.
if you could play Anton from KOTOR 2 during the civil war.. as a prequel would be dope

@@MellyMelon1331this is fine. Entertaining, interesting, aesthetically pleasing. Andor was still better.
@@GreenFalcon926 Andor came out almost two years ago... It's the best Star Wars by far, but it's not exactly the "best we had in a minute".

Its refreshing with genuine fan reactions.. with how many books, movies, and tv shows around with different stories.. its sad when certain reaction channels choose to react to something they clearly dont like.
Thank you for being true fans.
Those are what they used to call hate watchers. The more negative they can be the more interaction they get. I used to watch dozens of channels for their star wars content but now I'm down to just this channel. So many channels have embrace the hate culture nowadays. They hate on everything star wars before even a trailer comes out then when they watch the thing they said in their comments they have no interest in watching 'but they're going to give it a chance '..right..they nitpick it to death to justify their reasons for hating it in the first place.then they claim to be huge fans. This channel doesn't like everything star wars but it seems as though this is the only channel to give it a fair shot of what they're watching.
@@ghostlee6434 it's the biggest ick for me as a fan because I'll have my personal criticism but it's usually revolves around character choices vs nitpicking at random shit like the color of robes.. and stating prior they never read any High Republic stuff so they have no context..
Complains everything is the same but still complains if something is perceivably different..
I have a funny feeling about Qimir (Manny Jacinto). I wonder if he isn't the master. It was just the way he looked at the twin. His demeanor changed. He also evaded her attack like a jedi. Plus how did he find out where the Wookie was located. I just think there is more to him than meets the eye. Really enjoying the mystery aspect and what it is these Jedi did.
eric is confusing Osha and Mae with the "she killed my family" thing. It was Osha who said that not Mae. Osha was talking about Mae killing their family with the fire.
I think Qimir might be the Sith in disguise.
I'm pretty sure he is just another Acolyte. I think it would be pointless for this random (honestly clumsy guy) to be the "Sith" lord.
@@smittyjjensin558if he is the Sith Lord he would obviously be pretending to be clumsy.. just like how Palpatine pretended to be this nice defenseless old man.
I disagree. I don't think he's necessarily the Sith. I think he's another competing acolyte. Because it seems like whoever this sith is he's testing Mae and others to find a worthy apprentice. But also I don't think he's a Sith Lord. I think he's a Sith apprentice.
@@gbozzi05_and jar jar
@@DarksideGmss0513 I had the same thought too, because at this point Darth Tenebrous should be the current Sith Lord, maybe Darth Plagueis if we push it, and both are (if we keep to Legends) a Bith and a Muun respectively. And this masked figure doesn't look alien enough to be either species.
And if people say this breaks the Rule of Two if both Tenebrous and Plagueis are alive and kicking, all I have to say is that the Sith break the Rule of Two all the time. Dooku had Asajj and later Savage (and outright told the latter that they would overthrow Darth Sidious), while Palpatine started grooming Anakin while he still had Dooku.
I think most likely the sith we saw at the end of episode 1 is the apprentice searching for their own apprentice to overthrow their master hence the existence of the Acolytes the emphasis on Mae attempting to take the lightsabers only strengthens this idea as within the current canon it is a sith right of passage to kill a jedi with their own lightsaber while being unarmed as we see Vader do in the comics.
Most likely the unknown sith is preparing Mae to be his apprentice and challenge the current sith master.
In one single scene, Kelnacca has immediately become one of my favorite Star Wars characters lol. A Wookie Jedi is just such a cool concept
For a show that is venturing into new Canon territory, I think it's doing well. The reason why she took her daggers out of the ground but left Indara's lightsaber on the floor is because she can't use her saber because she beat her with a weapon. If she beats a Jedi without a weapon, she can claim that saber and bleed the crystal to access her red saber. The "She" that she's referring to is Mae.
The Jedi don't draw sabers, well, the uptight, new knights do, but the veteran Jedi don't, because there have been no Sith for centuries and we have yet to see a bad guy with even a blaster. The High Republic Jedi basically eradicated all "evil". This show is exploring new territory and I love it.
The show isn’t perfect, but it’s DAMN close. Really, *really* good, and it’s (again) so nice to watch a reaction from real Star Wars fans who are just appreciating the show for what it’s giving.
As per usual, the show is made to look worse by weird marketing. It's definitely not "the next Andor", but so far, it is a fairly solid show with a few standout characters. Complete judgement should be reserved until the end, but it does look fairly interesting.
How ? Why ? what make this show “damn near perfect” in your eyes
definitely the worst series next to Kenobi.. which isn't really saying much
Play nice in the comments, kids. Be respectful. 😊
@@Pinkieloverhow can you say it’s the worst one when there’s only 2 episodes out? And they’ve been decent
I think Mae is trying to collect a crystal to bleed
That was my thought too. I think Mae is supposed to kill a Jedi barehanded and bring the saber to the Sith. Maybe that's his test for Mae to graduate from Acolyte to Apprentice.
Could've taken 2 already and didn't so probably not
@Stygiophobic fair but also she didn't kill them without weapons, she used knives and poison. I think she had to kill them without weapons to prove that she's worthy and that's why she didn't take their sabers, cause she didn't succeed in killing them without weapons
@@jessblack477 that's true, though taking them and lying would be a pretty sith aligned thing to do 😂
@@Stygiophobic lmao yeah it’s definitely a trial to see if she’s worthy but you are not wrong either 😂
I don't think it is on the level of Andor yet. But it definitely has promise. Just having Star Wars be less Skywalker centric is positive for me. The universe has been so fleshed out for so many decades and we've rarely seen most of it on screen to this point. I'm also a Rebels fan. I appreciate when we get new characters and explore new aspects
It’s nowhere near as good as Andor.😅
I dont think this series can even remotely compare to Andor - I would put this more on par with Kenobi or BOBF. That said though, I think Acolyte is much better than people are making it out to be. The backlash has been crazy. Yes there are flaws but so far it is entertaining and fans should be grateful that we are getting so much good content. Still much better than the Sequel trilogy (which is the only major sin that Disney has made imo)
I think it's Chekhov's tattoo. at some point Mae is going to pretend to be Osha but Sol will spot she doesn't have the tattoo.
16:39 Sol didn't have to protect anyone though. Indara was killed because she was focused on the bartender and his patrons. If it were just her and Mae fighting, the fight would have ended differently. If Torbin fought back, Mae wouldn't have been able to touch him; his connection to the force is like something we've never seen before.
All I'll say is I got so hyped in those final moments! WOOKIE JEDI!
Cant belive Tommen Baratheon is Torbin
What? That's cool
And Sol's apprentice is X-23 from Logan
Killed himself in that too.
My theory so far: Mae and Osha's mothers were night sisters/dark force users. The 4 Jedi investigated and sought and end to it, but a fire broke out and Mae thought Jedi killed her moms and her sister, while Osha thought Mae set the fire to kill Osha and moms. Torbin feels guilty over the deaths, hence took the poison. All 4 Jedi felt guilty, so they agreed on the story that Mae set the fire (perhaps because Osha suggests it when trying to find out what happened).
Im also curious the Mae visions that Osha is seeing. Osha has seen Mae through the force 2 times already and one of those times they had a literal talk. But here its revealed that Mae alsk didn't know Osha was alive. So then Mae isnt communing with Osha through the force, but someone is showing something to Osha, so is it maybe this new Sith is the one showing these visions to Osha? But why, if he has Mae?
I think Qimir is the Sith (Apprentice) that wears the mask. He seems to be more important than is being let on
The Jedi should capture Mae and make her sit through them performing a cover of 'We Didn't Start the Fire', through a ray shield.
Fun fact the actor that played Tobin ( dean charles Chapman ) also played tommen Lannister from Game of Thrones. Barely noticed it myself at first
I could not believe Torbin was Dean Charles Chapman when I saw the credits. I didn’t pick up on it at all!
Sol is very much like Qui-Gon, which is why I love him so much. The way Sol treats Osha is how Qui-Gon would've been with Anakin if he survived.
I have a theory in regards to “an Acolyte kills without a weapon” She starts out fighting them hand to hand and attempting to take their sabers during it. When she fails she switches to her throwing blades. I think the goal is to kill a Jedi with their own weapon and claim it as your own. Vader fought a Jedi without a weapon to acquire his lightsaber (the weapon he used he took from the Jedi’s training droid).
Osha didn't kill that Jedi with poison, the Jedi killed himself knowing it was poison. This might qualify as not using a weapon - possibly.
I don't know may use a dagger on the first Jedi she killed and she didn't take the lightsaber maybe because she knew she didn't rightfully earned it and she probably didn't take the lightsaber from the second Jedi too because she convinced him to kill himself by drinking the poison therefore she didn't kill him without a weapon!
She has to kill one not using a weapon if it's him killing himself it shouldn't count anyway
When she tried attacking Torbin and couldn't get through, I was laughing (WITH the show, not AT it). I honestly need that to be a GIF. "What it feels like blocking out the haters."
Watched the 1st 2, but Im not finding it compelling much. The production is great, and it looks really good asthetically. The story however, isnt good. I caught myself yawning a few times and i had to rewatch a few parts because my mind wandered off. Fight scenes look great even if no lightsabers. Characters are pretty bland, usless showcasing (what was the purpose of half naked Yord? Comedic purpose? Delivery was a flop), you walk into a crime scene and your 1st action is to pick up the poison bottle? The 1st time reuniting with your sister and you take a shot? Idk i just dont feel invested at all. Despite that, i do like the world they seem to be building.
Listening to your review, im not sure you guys are being objective. It sounds like youre looking for ways to make sense. "Maybe he did this because...., maybe he still eats but goes back to meditating...., maybe she didnt have," and so on. And thats what i find the problem. Youre looking to justify things for the writers, not the writers showing you/explaining it/showcasing it.
Glad that you guys are enjoying it though. I dont agree with some of your reviews, i think you may be biased looking for positive prospects and avoiding to be critical. Either case, keep doing what youre doing.
I like this show so far. It’s interesting to see the Jedi in an antagonistic role while the sith and their “allies” are the protagonists in live action.
Although, it does still feel like something is missing from the show. I can’t quite explain what yet. That could change in the coming episodes though so we’ll see.
Liked so far. Excited to see how it goes
So much appreciation to you guys for your fandom and love of Star Wars :).
It seems that Torbin is the only one who knows that both sisters were still alive. So it seems he must have known more than anyone else, other then perhaps the wookie what happened. Also if the sisters didn't know each other was alive, who sent that force vision of her sister in the first episode. The sith lord?
Or it's possible it's the force itself
I was hoping for more from this series, sadly, it's disappointed me. Hopefully it gets better.
Help me, Blind Wave. You're my only hope.
My guess is that the 4 Jedi on that planet became aware of identical twins who were Force Sensitive and wondered what would happen if one were trained as a Jedi and one was not, and set up the fire and told each twin that the other one had started the fire but had perished. Some kind of wild, wacky, Jedi version of My Fair Lady.
so nice to be able to watch other people enjoying a thing i enjoyed. i keep seeing video titles pop up everywhere just dripping with anger and copium. thankfully i avoid those types of channels as much as i can, but i just don't understand what there is to hate about it so far. like, sure, it's not ***THE BEST*** Star Wars thing ever, but it's still quite good from my perspective. i've got my own minor gripes with some of the dialog and a few moments of acting, but otherwise i'm really loving it. interesting story, mostly great writing, acting, directing... cinematography? there's some really gorgeous scenes just in the first two episodes already. anyway, can't wait for the rest of the show. i keep hearing rumblings about some rumor out there having to do with episode 3 and that it will supposedly make all of us low-life enjoyers-of-a-show suddenly turn 180 degrees on it in unison and revolt, or some other such bullshit lol, but honestly i don't see that happening. i guess we'll find out soon!
I was hoping that this was a show from the point of view of the Sith like they said it would be when it was announced. Hopefully it focuses more on the Sith and their history as the show goes on.
Yeah I was kinda underwhelmed when the trailers dropped and it was revealed that the acolyte was the villain.
I remember the first description of the show sounding more like _Rise of the Red Blade,_ with a female dark side protagonist. I'm still excited/invested for _The Acolyte,_ but I wonder what it would have looked like.
Liked episode 3 so far. Cant wait for your reaction
Im trying really hard to figure out if this story really even needed Star Wars at all. The Jedi could just as easy be written as FBI and the whole story takes place on Earth.
Took me watching this reaction to realise that's Jason from the Good Place!
15:49 this made me think of terry straight up bending the coin in b99 😂😂😂
I'd like to know more about his registry of force sensitive people. How did Indara know that Mae was unregistered?
i get y'all are probably gonna rewatch the episode and figure stuff out anyway but my takeaway from the whole 'not using a weapon' thing is that it literally means completely unarmed. The sith in ep1 said "steel and laser are no threat to them" which rules out the knives and they mentioned the poison wouldnt count either this episode. But she only needs to kill ONE of them unarmed to pass her trial. There seems to be a lot of 'the jedi wont strike to kill unless their lives are at risk' so an acolyte that uses no weapons is more of a threat/jedi killer than someone who does and based off of the fights we've seen Mae (May? Mei? idk the spelling) hasnt used her knives until she's failed to disarm them of the lightsaber first (there was that one she threw at the start of the sol fight but it was aimed at the ground to stop them/as a warning not actually 'at' them....i assume the plan is to disarm, then you can go all out and by the time they realise their life is actually in danger they cant draw a lightsaber and insta win and that pride/confidence is their downfall or something.
The first episode didn't immediately hook me but this episode makes me want to see how the story evolves this season. There's a couple of potentially good storylines brewing.
Torbin was so powerfull in his meditation that he created a fake beard and hair...
😂😂😂
Jecki is my favorite in this whole show, Sol just doing Jedi things
Was not expecting a Scroobius Pip cameo, Angles was one of the soundtracks to my teenage years.
The first episode ends with the master saying, "You have to kill the dream," and I think the 'no weapon' rule has to do with that. He wants Mae to destroy the Jedi's concept of peace, probably by utilizing the guilt they feel over whatever happened on her home planet. I'm guessing maybe he wants her to convince or trick one of them into betraying the Jedi order in some way out of their guilt? idk
Lee Jung-jae plays Master Sol. He also played Seong Gi-hun in Squid Game.
another explanation why mae tried to take the lightsaber , in star wars the clone wars
season 2 episode 11 when ahsoka lose is lightsaber and says to the librarian while talking about anakin "he has already told me 100 times your lightsaber is your life you must never lose it" probably a lesson learned from the collective past of the order
At 8:23, the binoculars DID give a closer view, significantly. Sorry that this is my only comment (so far).
4:41 That was a great wheeze.
Master Torbin is played by the actor who was Tommen Beratheon on Game of Thrones, they put a beard and balding wig on him to make him look 16 years older.

1:38 Assassin’s Creed Rogue was where you played as an Assassin who defected to the Templars and exterminated most of the Brotherhood in colonial America
I think that Qimir is secretly Mae's Sith Master.
Leia didn't come back from her space swim like: "Hey you guys, you can still hear everything out there!"
I'm pedantic. Osha tanked a planetary re-entry impact. Did she learn that at space-firefighter academy?
It's always the failed opportunity that hits hardest with these efforts. My suggestion scene: She's strapped in to her chair when she glances at a untethered mech-nic crate... unlocks it with her Swiss Army droid.... Yay a spacesuit, a star-warsie helmet, and some mag-boots! The ship's breaking up... osha struggles on the ''wing'' surfing atmosphere like it's Dark Star... a leap of faith (the force?)... Some free fall... a cool parachute... big shot of flaming inferno as she floats onto a desolate planet. More drama? Do the damaged chute trope and high speed impact into snow. She's got a sprained ankle oh no, and the Jedi save her from hungry space Yeti.
Yes still ridiculous, but It connects her skillset to survival. It's epic, and It's narrowly plausible.
But no, just ignore the campfire in space. It looks like her burned childhood trauma ok. duh.
I like how both Osha and the Jedi just assumed Mae would have the exact same hairstyle as Osha. >_>
Or the fact that she actually *does* have the same hairstyle. xD
They really focus the shots when Mae tries to take the saber of the Jedi she fights. Plus, in the first episode, after she killed Indara, they focus on her lightsaber laying on the ground and, i expected Mae to pull the saber into her hands with the Force when she walked away and left the bar, but instead, she just summoned her daggers. And we know from the canon Vader-comics that Sidious instructed Vader to kill a Jedi, take his saber and bleed the Jedi's crystal to make his own saber.
Now, Sidious, iirc, had no problems with Vader using a borrowed saber to kill his target, but maybe what we see here is an older custom in the Rule of Two, especially when there _might_ be more than one acolyte and they compete with each other, where an acolyte has to prove themselves by actively disarming a Jedi and robbing them of their weapon (and we all know how important a lightsaber is to a Jedi, "This weapon is your life!" and kyber crystals essentially being sentient in canon and all that). Which would also explain why Mae took neither Indara's nor Torbin's lightsaber after they had died.
And i like all the unarmed fighting so far. For one, it shows that these Jedi really adhere to their Peacekeeper-rules, and Jedi would only draw a saber if they absolutely had to. Plus, it's just fun. Most Jedi were in peak physical condition and trained fighters, had enhanced reflexes, speed and strenght. It makes sense that they would be able to hold their own in CQC without having to rely on a saber. I remember the novelization of Attack of the Clones, where Obi-Wan and Jango spent more time fighting hand to hand on Kamino than they did in the movie, i liked that, too.
There is nothing “wrong” with Yord, Yord is refreshing! Yes, he does have a stick up his butt, but he won’t blame Osha for the murders when evidence says she isn’t, nor will he complain that his plan isn’t taken when Jackie’s is obviously better. I love how he desperately wants to be a teachers-pet, but then always fails to succeed!
Also, sorry but Palpetine is an unreliable-narrator, of course he is gonna blame Jedi for being power-hungry! Palpetine is wrong! Sith and Jedi do not want the same things, he only said that to blur the lines for Anakin. Are the Jedi perfect? No, but there is still an incredible difference.
Super excited for this ! That last shot was epic, can't wait for more!
Loving the new droid designs in this series, especially the security droid from the first episode.
I don't think the master needs any kind of mental block to hide his identity, he can just mask his identity with his mask.
WILD, I know.
Didn't they state in phantom menace that the sith hadn't been seen for about a 1000 years. With this being set around 100 years before phantom menace, either the jedi forgot about what will happen in this series or my prediction is that most of these jedi won't survive by the end of this series.
He is helping out the sith because they promised him a superbowl win for the Jacksonville Jaguars.
23:47 The "no weapon" policy has two possible outcomes. One non-jedi person kills 4 jedi and one of them without a weapon - it is very bad for jedi reputation. It is even worse if the armed jedi kills the unarmed person. In both cases the "sith" gets what he wants.
there is a very thin line between what should the jedi do when it comes to war because we have seen the jedi play it both ways and neither ultimately ended up being right. on the one side we have their response during the clone wars where they were quick to respond when the republic was threatned. on the other hand we have the their response during the mandalorian war where they did not act and so many lost their lives and the republic nearly fell.
I'd like to believe that the Master is a Sith given the allusion to the Sith code. With the Acolyte being 100 years before the Empire, that puts the current Sith Lord being Darth Plagueis or his master, Darth Tenebrous (assuming Tenebrous is canon). We know Sith are still operating in the shadows, having yet to reveal themselves to the Jedi since that takes place in Phantom Menace. The philosophy we got in the last episode is curious. The Jedi being in a proverbial dream shared by all and that the dream is killed when a Jedi is killed without a weapon. Hopefully we'll see more of this Master and find out if he's actually a Sith or simply a dark-side user who adopted certain tenets of Sith ideology.
I like how they avoid pulling out their lightsabres as long as possible, unlike all the media set in later era's where they immediately go to their lightsabres. Wonder if that is an example of how the Jedi changed over the next 100 years. Except for Yord, he whips it out every chance he gets.
I think whatever happened in the past the Jedi went into a situation not fully understanding what was going on and botched the situation escalating it or failing to prevent the fire and Osha's families death.
Im guessing you are not familiar with pre-galactic empire lore?
i believe the "running out of time" statement means that she has 4 jedi she needs to kill. 1 was already killed with a weapon and if she uses poison to kill the next one she'll have gone through half of them. she only has 2 left at that point and one of the remaining jedi is a wookie.
The fight choreography has been really good! The way the Jedi fights here reminds me a lot of Tai Chi where they use a lot of slow and flowing movements
Qmir dropping lines from the Sith Code like its no big deal. And yeah, he's wearing the dead apothecary's clothes to "blend in"... Man is CLEARLY more than an underworld fixer, and has creepy puppetmaster masquerading as a "fool" all over him.... Darth JarJar all over again, but really. Look how even HE manhandles Mae. Question is now, is he the Master, or the Apprentice guiding this Acolyte business along?🤔
If Mae wants to impress The Master she wouldn't have used poison, she would have gotten in Torben's head like Hannibal Lechter and had him turn his lightsaber on himself.🚩💀🚩

Funny that Rick mentioned Orochimaru's curse mark, after not appearing in Naruto Shippuuden's reactions for quite a while
I think he's catching up to the rest of the crew on his own time, so it may still be pretty fresh on his mind.
@@tortoiseoflegends4466he doesn’t plan on rejoining the Naruto reactions
I think the Jedi, particularly Sol, wanted to avoid Mae and Osha coming into contact. He even jumped at the chance to lead the investigation. “Please let me take accountability” yo he really just wants to make sure the Jedi council doesn’t find out the truth *possibly*
Mae might very well be the only other person that may know what the Jedi are lying about.
A big thing about the Jedi in this show is that they are very manipulative. With people. With the truth. I fully expect OSHA to lose faith in the Jedi and join her sister. At least that’s what I hope for. Having the series end with both protagonists being sith would be different and cool.
Maybe it’s kind of like a Luke-Kylo thing where Luke saw the darkness he would bring and thought it was the right thing to stop him but then that’s what put him on that path
When Sol and May were fighting and Yord used Binoculars to see the fight better I was like, you’re like 3 meters above them why do u need Binoculars?
In the Darth Vader comic its revealed that Vader took his kyber crystal from a Jedi Master who survived the purge because he had taken the Barash Vow, Jedi battle master Kirak Infil'a.
Great start to the series
I’ve heard the “No Blade, No Lazer” thing explained something like….You can kill a Jedi with a lazer or Blade, but there will still be more Jedi. But if you kill what they stand for they will truly be killed.

THANKS for this!!!!!
I am wondering what they did that was so unforgiveable for the four jedies, to the point wher Tobin chose the poison! My guess is that they made the twins forget what really happened and also made them believe each other died in the fire. But it must also be more thsn that i feel
