Youngling- "I see fire"
Darth Bane - Visible Happiness
Doesn't Bell also see fire?
@@mojoethan4141thoguht the same thing!
@@theinfernus9912 glad I'm not the only one!
"Your eyes can deceive you"
Obi Wan says that to Luke when he puts on the training helmet.
Yes. Yes, he does.
He didn't actually. Your ears can deceive you, don't trust them.
My buddy just gave me a good idea as to what he thinks they could be going for. He thinks that the story of this show is going to be similar to how Fives tried to warn the clones and Jedi about what was coming with the chips in their heads but since Fives died he couldn’t do it. My buddy thinks it’ll be similar here with the Jedi, figuring out the mystery of the Sith coming back and they all die when trying to get the word back.👀
Them all dying is the only way to be loyal to the canon, but we shall see. This is Lesley Headland, I have little faith in her
@@DavidPrice-ml2zv not sure how you can say you have a little faith in her when everything that she said so far about the series has been promising. It seems she understands lore and the ways of the Jedi. Given this is also a time period that hasn’t really gotten any exploration she has free range on some things.
@@OrionInSpacebecause we’re talking about Star Wars fans, for the most part starting from a position of hating it from the jump, and it’s helmed by a woman, which is fuel to the fire
@@affenket I just think David here is a bit arrogant and not well informed on her words and how she has spoken about the show
@@DavidPrice-ml2zv She's consistently said she's a huge fan of both the High Republic and the old EU, aside from Filoni she's probably the biggest nerd we've had to helm a Star Wars project. If anything, I would imagine this would make her more likely to stick to the lore?
"Maybe it's just a really dark orange..." I need that to be a line in the show
"Ik it looks red but It's actually blood orange so it's totally not a sith, nothing to worry about guys!"
Darth Tenebrous is alive and Plagueis would've been just born at this time in Legends.
I would be shocked if Tenebrous doesn't show up by the very end. Would be a less intrusive way to link the story back into the main saga. EU fans would go nuts and casual viewers would just get to see a cool new sith.
I forget, who was Tenebrous' master? Perhaps we could see them together 🤔
@@StarNameKev I don't think they were ever named except for being a Twi'lek.
I was telling my gf about this and she rolled her eyes so hard when she realized the bad guys are named Plaguies and Tenebrous 😭😂
I don't remember much but didn't tenebrous have a secret apprentice that plagueis killed after his master's death?
The opening lines are very emblematic in some ways. "Close your eyes. Your eyes can deceive you. We must not trust them." The Jedi Order believed they were so in tune to the Force that they ignored what was right in front of their eyes. How long had they done so?
A thousand years and some change because they had a Sith among them during the Clone Wars.
But it's true, your eyes CAN deceive you. Palpatine is a perfect example, presenting himself as a kind, noble leader who is doing his best to temper the more extreme views of the Senate. But it was all a façade.
@@andrewjenkins9965 Very true. But, to paraphrase Qui-Gon, "...not at the expense of the moment." I don't think Obi-Wan was the only Jedi who could have benefited from this wisdom.
@@nicholasarkis6116 they were discussing the future there, I'm not sure how it applies to what I said...
@andrewjenkins9965 What you said made me think of how the Jedi could get lost focusing on other things (...elsewhere, elusive) at the expense of the moment right in front of their eyes. It's something that I think speaks metaphorically to their blind spots that would prevent them from seeing the Sith had not only returned but had never truly been gone. (It's something I think Yoda internalized after the fall of the Order. In ESB and TLJ, Yoda admonishes Luke to keep his focus here, now. To stop looking away to the horizon. But, I digress).
I was originally struck by the opening lines of the trailer because of the poetic way it mirrors the Order. Telling Younglings, the future generation, to close their eyes, to not trust them. There's a certain arrogance in believing you only need your feelings, your intuitions, to know truth. By the time of the prequels, the Jedi had come to believe the Sith could not have returned without them knowing. That the Jedi would be aware if the Senate was being controlled by a Sith. That an item didn't exist if it weren't in their records.
I think it's good Jedi wisdom to not ONLY trust your eyes. But that doesn't mean that you should completely ignore what they're seeing either. I feel like they started to allow bad habits to form out of good intentioned wisdom. Your eyes can deceive you. Maybe your feelings can, too. It's one of the ways that I think Palpatine used the very ways and nature of the Order against themselves.
The possibility of the Sith returning at the height of the Jedi lead peacetime is a serious & scary accusation. The Jedi would be wise to use a third party to help them in their investigation such as friendly Republic Senator, *Hego Damask.*
Love it!
Yeah...what if we only ever see Hugo until the final scenes when it's revealed who he is? Asesome reveal for casual fans!
Both of you are casuals😂😂 yoda him self says they haven't seen sith in 1000 year's so any sith is lore breaking evrey red lightsaber is lore breaking that means some on thought them to make a red crystal now stfu casuals
So many LIGHTSABERS
IKR?! 😊
@@Dyundu I'm stoked
PROFFIEBOARD TIME!!!
I SAW IT AND I CLAPPED!!! Seriously lol, it's like dangling a shiny chain in front of a cat with you people...
@@idiot_city5244 What's wrong with people liking lightsabers?
Getting back into Star Wars has been, and continues to be so much fun!!!! This looks great!!!!
I hope Yoda and Yaddle have a small role in the series.
For Light and Life everyone!!
We are all the Republic!
We are all the republic!!!!
"Did you ever hear the Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise?"
"I thought not. It’s not a story the Jedi would tell you."
He’s not even born at that point.
I wrote my Jedi thesis on it!
Actually I've heard that story dozens of times. Palpatine just can't stop talking about it.
Nooooooooooooo, plzzzz NO! A new villian! Screw fan service
Super excited for The Acolyte!!!
As a big fan of The High Republic, I'm really excited to see our first live action project set during this time period, but most of all to see our first live action project set before The Phantom Menace.
For light and life!!!
Yes 🎉 this!
I've been waiting 25 years for a Phantom Menace era full scale story and this is close enough ( for me )
Did anyone noticed that Amandla's character is wearing Revan-like armor?
yes DARTH REVAN MADE THE SITH ASSASSINS
I wonder how they’re going to explain the shift back in time that this show takes place in to those who don’t have the time to read every book, magazine, comic, etc.
I just started the High Republic books and I really like it so far!
I highly recommend reading the comics by Cavan Scott and Charles Soule.
"THIS IS WHERE THE FUN BEGINS"
Non -Temple Guards rockin yellow 💛
Plo Koon potential at the bottom right at the shot the jedi standing at the forest
My favorite part of watching this video is seeing the "like" count go up and up as I watched. I'm very happy for you, this is my favorite Star Wars YT channel.
New to the channel - I just subscribed today. Thank you for you curiosity about the plot and your positivity about the show's setting. I look forward to learning more and continuing to hear and read the theories.
I've been waiting for your reaction all morning
the fact that yoda could be in this is awesome
I wonder if he’d be the same CGI design as in the prequels or something different now visually
@@demon-goathe looks *slightly* younger in THR comics so, maybe!
Thanks, Mollie and Alex! 🌑 Star Wars Holocron and Wookieepedia have told me we've seen 'Mae', 'Sol', 'Qimir', 'Jecki Lon', 'Yord Fandar', 'Vernestra Rwoh', 'Mother Aniseya', the Wookiee 'Kelnacca' and 'Indara' in this trailer. Looks great to me.
With Abigail from Philosophy Tube having a role, I'm wondering how long it will be before the best SW RUclipsrs get a cameo in something...
It would be fun if at the end of the series the Jedi detectives find everything out and die while bringing the info to the council!
I have a feeling all the Jedi who see the red lightsaber die. Is the women with the knife not the sith because that would make since if they are the same person. Uses another weapon to stay stealth until forced to revel identity to survive
We all wanted this to be about the Sith's point of view. If this is only 100 or so years before the Prequel trilogy we should Darth Plagueis as the Sith Lord at the time.
That ending though total SWTOR vibes
Wookiee Jedi Joonas! Yessss... I want a poster of him!
Hope it's more in tone and at the quality of Andor. Seeing as its not a name brand character the Execs likely allow the creatives more freedom, fingers crossed.
Great to see you do a trailer reaction on your RUclips channel, takes me back to the TFA days, please do more!
I love the emphasis of actual martial arts, very few times do we see Jedi thinking on their feet when they don't have their sabers.
Watching your reactions is such a pkeasure!
Known previously established Jedi who have appeared in The High Republic:
Yoda (of course, lol)
Yaddle (many times)
Yarael Poof (seen in Episode I)
Oppo Rancissis.
Tera Sinube.
It will be interesting to see if any of these five show up. Can't wait! But we have The Bad Batch to hold us til then.
this is the first time i've been able to watch the trailer, so i got to react along with you!
I have been awaiting this for so long. I am so excited about this
WE ARE ALL THE REPUBLIC
For life and light!
It looks really fun, and that's what Star Wars should always be, first and foremost. Great reaction video!
A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.
1:38 Youngling counselor about to step in and ask to see that last one. Hahaha
Ahhh Yes, A New Star Wars Show Is Coming Out && Im Arguing With “Star Wars Fans” Complaining About A Minute Trailer To A Show Thats Not Even Out Yet 🤦🏾♂️ But Im Here For It 🫡
Love the fact we are getting Wookiees!!
It would be wild if this series has a Rogue One styled ending where all heroes perish at the hands of the Acolyte and or secret Sith Lord. Yoda definitely should involved at some point to find the teachings of the Rule of Two
Can’t wait for your break down
Not what I was expecting. Cautiously optimistic
Looks great!
gotta love the alien that can't close it's eyes..poor alien..
Oooo, a true detective type story in SW sounds awesome.
Im super excited! More excited that this was the first time Mollie and Alex did a REACTION VIDEOOO!! (at least for youtube fans)
The show looks awesome! Can't wait :)
So excited for this!
Tinfoil hat time: Darth Plagueis will be introduced as the Master and mastermind behind it all. We may learn why he was considered “wise”.
I mean, we could get Darth Tenebrous. He was made canon through a legion of Palpatine's followers named after Tenebrous in TROS.
Remember Tenibris will be alive, and his master a red male Twylik we know little else about his master
@@Iron_Blood_Enjoyer1933 What if we start with Tenebrous (and his master?), and in the latter seasons, they build up to Plagueis. Like the whole show could take place during many years, kinda like HOTD
@@FFaust Depending on how many season we do get for 'The Acolyte' in the end, we could go through the end of the High Republic era.
I'm thinking it's Darth Plagueis too.
Kelnacca better not be one of those Jedi being killed!!!
Only *TWO* Glup Shittos in a 1 : 30 trailer! That has to be a record
Series looks exciting. I also hope you guys post more of your trailer reactions publicly going forward.
One tiny detail I noticed is how there is no Lucasfilm logo in the trailer. Usually, a Star Wars trailer starts with the lucasfilm logo; or it fades in from black, shows us just a little tease, reveals the Lucasfilm logo, then continues on with the rest of the trailer. It's strange how it starts abruptly and doesn't give us the logo.
The trailer looks great. I’m excited for it
I cannot wait. Its gonna be so interesting to see how it all unfolds. I mean the Sith were all but extinct at this time. If there is one thing that the Jedi always underestimated about the Dark Side is the art of deception. The mastery of the Force Cloak and Mirage abilities which allowed for the rise of the Sith in plain sight when the Light Side was so overwhelmingly powerful. It seems to me The Acolyte has a vendetta against the Jedi Order and isnt necessarily motivated by overthrowing it. At least not yet. The Acolyte has to be just a rogue Dark Jedi who is not fully yet aware that the the true Sith still exist. That will probably be a major cliffhanger for the finale.
Do you think the trailer showed only footage from the 2 episodes premiere ? (Do we get red lightsaber early ?) Or does it show stuff from the entire season
Crouching Tiger/Hidden Dragon meets Star Wars
I must say I loved the trailer. It seemed a bit like the Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon of Star Wars.
I love the Squid Game guy as a male Asian Jedi Master, as a homage to samurai movies.
There were only two Sith in that timeline. Darth Plagues or Darth Tenebrous
The acolyte means follower, so who that turns out to be they are following is the mystery. From the trailer, this is different enough I can’t wait for June 4th (intentional it’s a month after May 4th?) to see where the show goes….
I dunno... _Banes Grand Plan_ dictated that the Sith stayed hidden for a thousand years... Someone tell me I'm wrong here... Theres just not enough here for me to get excited to be honest🤷🏽♂ Some kids, a Jedi or 2, and a red light saber.
I'm excited for a new SW show because I love SW's but this teaser (thats what this is) doesnt have me holding my breath until June.
It is completely possible and acceptable if they aged plagueis up a bit. Barely anything in the canon would change if you made him a decade or 2/3 older
Looks cool!
Like Darth Plagueis, I wonder if the Sith master is trying to get to the "killer" dark side user before the Jedi do, either to eliminate or to train them?
Excited to see this High Republic Era I've heard so much about
I'm glad we're seeing more Jedi martial arts! I love the idea of unarmed Jedi combat. It just makes sense for Jedi to have a non-lethal combat skill, since killing shouldn't be their first resort. Lightsabers are great against blasters or energy staffs/batons, but a Jedi pulling a lightsaber against someone who is armed to a lesser extent... that's pretty aggressive for the Jedi, especially Jedi in peace time.
Crouching Tiger Hidden Acolyte
God I love yellow lightsabers so much
From the cast information, it turns out the main antagonists (Dark Siders) are a coven of witches led by Mother Aniseya. I am curious if Aniseya is a subordinate of the Sith Order.
So, I am excited but apprehensive for this show. A story like Cruella or Maleficent where the 'villain' is the star is appealing and I want to see a Star Wars take on this. As a bunch of ppl are probably wondering, how will they explain a Sith presence when they're extinct? I will give this an honest open viewing though. Will we see descendants of the Path here?
The 1 thing they could actually do right is put Darth Plaguies on screen.
im going to aviod watching trailers of this show and hopefully its good. I did the same thing with Andor and its my favorite Star Wars content since the original trilogy
A Srar Wars Explained reaction video. I love it!!! Very exciting for this series!!! 😊
Let’s go!! 🔥🔥😊
Probably the first Sith lord that the Jedi Knights are going to battle. It's going to be 47 Ronin with Jedi Knights. I feel Carrie Ann-Moss' character could be a Sith Lord or one of the sith Lords.
Crouching Tiger Hidden Dooku (Teen Drama Edition)
I'm excited for this. Two fandom things that give me this kind of hopeful excitement are Star Wars and Zelda.
HYPED AF we're finally moving away from The Skywalker Saga/The OT. I like the idea of The High Republic so far and I'm all here for it.
I just hope we eventually get a live action KOTOR trilogy as that'd be bat shi insane!!!!
LET’S KRIFFING GOOOOOOO
CSI: Star Wars has arrived.
That could possibly be a young Palpatine welding that red lightsaber. 🤷🏾♂️
Palpatine wont be born for next 50 or 40 years so maybe sidius or master of sidius
I've never heard of Vernestra, and I'm a huge Star Wars girl. I'll look into it!
Yoda 100% in this.
idc what the doubters say, im pumped and hope the show matches the trailer...this can be big! need to brushen up on my high republic stuff but this gives off great vibes...glad you guys go over the high republic so i can catch up and catch up with high republic content...think that will need to be done to know who some of these characters are?
'I see fire' Demon child
Oh cool, another reaction content
Yaaay, please do more trailer reactions when star wars stuff comes out!!!
I wonder if the Padawans at the end maybe get to close to finding the Sith and they have to be “Take care of” by a stronger Sith. Hopefully Plagueis haha
I have the feeling they're gonna kill off any Jedi that spot the Sith. So they're not gonna be able to warn the Jedi High Council.
I'm excited to finally see what the Sith have been up to during this era.
I've been loving the High Republic so far. However, there have been a number of points in time where I couldn't help but ask myself "What exactly are the Sith doing right now? Doesn't Marchion Ro and his Force-eating Nameless also pose a threat to them? Or did they find a way to use all the chaos created by the fall of Starlight and attacks by the Nihil for their own grand plan?"
VERY COOL
2:06 I know its a long shot and he is probably not even born yet but is the Jedi on the far right Plo Koon? were there any other Kel Dor Jedi during this time?
It looks so great!!!!!!!🥰😍😍
Do we think the path of the open hand/closed fist is making a resurgence in this series??
Super excited for it! Only thing I am bummed about it is I will be on vacation when the first two episodes drop. Hopefully my hotel room will have a tv that I can watch Disney + on. I would hate to have to watch the first two episodes on my laptop
