It was very much giving “Mom’s here! HIDE!” It was nice to see him slip up a little when he tried to keep such a controlled facade in front of everyone else.
Enjoyed Qimir's interest suddenly peaking when Sol reveals how Mother Aniseya was able to create life. Qimir knows someone who will be very interested in that piece of information.
Remember, Qimir did not say he was looking for an Acolyte. He said he was looking for the power of two. Now, everyone assumes that means the Rule of Two. But he didn't say that. I think he is referring to the Dyad, the power of two force users bound to each other as one. So yeah, I don't think Qimir is looking for an apprentice to take over from Plagueis. I think he might be working with Plagueis to study the force dyad closer.
Imo, I feel like Plagueis attempted to influence life, an early experiment to what he'll manage to accomplish, and it happened to coincede with the moment Mother Aniseya tried to make life. Therefore, Mother Aniseya used Plagueis' power to make the twins. Or perhaps sb(Mother Koril) sensed Plagueis doing that, given Brendok is a vergence, and bound it. Still feel like there's one bit of information about the incident on Brendok we have yet to see. Maybe Plagueis was battling all the witches in tandem with Indara trying to free Kelnacca and that's why they died. Then again, a dreamer's gotta dream...
it was stupid, and pointless, with zero motivation. And even if they say that Sol was going to shot her down, that is a failing on the writers for seemingly having no idea how jedi act
@@yankeesrule587 I'm glad you enjoyed it, but take a look around the need, watch a few reactions you'll find this show had ALOT of problems. but it mainly comes down to poor writing, poor character development, and not holding to your own logic.
So nobody can have a negative opinion about anything without being called "haters"? The show is utter garbage, if you understand and know SW Lore which you obviously don't, then you know this series contradicts so much from before it.
It is crazy that Sol spent all last episode telling Mae what happened, not to beg for forgiveness, but to try and justify his actions, but at the same time, I can understand it. If you spend 16 years lying to everyone, you eventually end up lying to yourself. You start to believe that you did the right thing and ignore everyone who says otherwise.
Their fight scenes are pretty freaking epic. Really some of the best I’ve seen. I think it’s because it’s not about wild acrobatics, like no force jumping all over the place (a la Ep. 8/9) It’s just pure insane swordplay.
I love the twins black and white clothing, light and dark, Osha have problem with anger, Mae have problem with love. One person in too bodies, I love it.
Reminds me of Arcann and Thexan from SWTOR, except the personalities were reversed (Arcann in white is more "dark side" and Thexan in black is more "light side").
@@facuez99one person, split into two. Like clones but not clones. You know Yoda when he fights his dark side in season 7 clone wars lost episodes? Yeah imagine it kinda like that. Light and dark split from one person into physical forms
I'm glad to see there are people as excited as I am about certain aspects of this show, instead of prejudging it all and posting vids of their nit-picking and sighing through the whole thing.
@@zerolegacy7821 I'm aware. You can also give a show a chance before deciding it's bad. Too many people can't find anything good in this show, and it's clear they made that decision before even watching it. They huff and sigh at everything, and I mean everything, from start to finish. So, just like they shouldn't watch something they find so painful to watch, I won't be watching their reaction videos anymore. Easy.
Considering it's reception and hate by soooo so many... I would doubt it ever gets a season 2... But hey, Disney's weird like that sometimes. So who knows? Maybe they make a season 2 despite the hate, which probably won't fare all too well for Disney's image... As per usual... We'll have to wait and see.
@@TheTrytix well the problem with all the hate is that it’s one of the most watched Star Wars shows on Disney+. Meaning, they’re making a lot of money off of it. I wouldn’t be surprised if there is a season 2
@TheTrytix I mean, Andor got greenlit for season 2 despite getting a lot of backlash from crazy people, I think Disney would continue Acolyte considering the view ratings are actually good.
@@itschewsday5252 Well... Whaddya know. People are literally so frustrated with the show they are hate watching it in huge masses... Great way to show how much people hate a show by showing how much they view it. XP
@@ashesGeek Well, then again, Andor is highly praised as some of the best Star Wars we have ever gotten ever. So fans REALLY want a second season of that anyways, which, much like the Acolyte, was always the intention. I don't know of any backlash for that series honestly. I mean, compared to the Acolyte, it's almost no hate at all.
I like how Sol’s choices, now matter how noble & well intentioned he saw them, were a mask to cover his flaws & insecurities as a Jedi. I don’t doubt that he truly loved Osha, but it goes to show that he was unable to express or even show his love for her when it came to the truth. In a way, Sol’s love for her was possessive from the moment he saw her on Brendok to his dying breath.
@@zerolegacy7821Yes!! Agreed!! Why isn't this talked about? Sol was very honest. He loved until the end even though others didn't get his awareness of the evil behind all this. He even tried explaining it to them just before his death, and they still didn't listen. Almost Christ-like. Even Osha was shocked after she killed him. She was possessed!
@@zerolegacy7821 Did you even watch the show. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Ahhhhhhh isn’t that cute. You seem to confuse my opinion as a negative criticism towards Sol. Maybe watch the episodes again
@@zerolegacy7821 you’re the only one taking this too seriously. Judging by your responses, you’re the only one mad about this. I never said Sol is covering anything, if you stopped to actually think about it. I said they’re a mask for his insecurities. His possessive love for Osha makes plenty of sense especially since he’s not really apologizing for what he did. Watch his interactions w/ Mae & Osha again & he’s clearly stating out loud that he believes what he did was right. He’s not apologizing for ruining their lives, he double downed on his choices and he paid for it. Your reasoning that Sol wanted to take responsibility is flawed because he’s only doing it out of shame. Indara only convinced to lie because he ruined Osha’s life & fully knowing the Jedi wouldn’t make an exception for her as a Padawan would condemn Osha to living alone w/ no one to care for her.
@@zerolegacy7821 1) your second response reads off as an angry 2) this response comes off that you, & only you, are misinterpreting my statement. Outside of Sol wanting to turn himself in to the Jedi Council in ep. 7. You’ve not provided any other examples or counters to my argument that Sol is flawed. If you have none, fine, move on to someone else. If you don’t want to engage or think within the possibility that Sol’s “choices” to lie to Osha & his unwillingness to apologize are a mask for his guilt & insecurities as a Jedi. Then that’s your choice. But in ep. 8, Sol’s refusal to take accountability for his actions all in the name of Osha & his love for her, doomed him to be killed by her.
Thanks to Kyle and Bendu! 🌑 Great to see the first canonical depiction of 'Plagueis'. 🔸 And how wild to see a kyber crystal actually being bled?! #RenewTheAcolyte
@@UnknownUser22553 I'm 53 and grew up with the original movies , saw them in the theater, first run. This was a great story. This show was immediately hated from the first 2 minute trailer, 2 months before any of you saw the story and writing. While most of you hide behind "bad writing" etc , a good portion of you come right out and say it plainly. You don't like "DEI hires" and it's a "Disney agenda" , just the fact that you call it "Disney Star Wars" tells me you feel the same but you're just a coward , so cowardly you created a anonymous account. Stop being a coward. Star Wars is made by Lucasfilm. If you don't like the stories because there's a black female in the lead and the majority of the cast are minorities and women, it says more about the type of "fan" you are. Kick rocks
Over all I've enjoyed this series, I'm sad we've lost yord, jecki and sol but we still have qimir who I just love watching I hope we get a series two (I'm not getting my hopes up tho). Thank you Kyle and Bendu for being so positive about this series which I sure you know is hard to find lol, May the force be with you both ❤❤
I personally thought this show was bad. The pacing was bad, there wasn't enough time spent with the characters for me to genuinely care about what happens to them, and the entire season left us with more questions than answers. That being said I will never hate on some one for liking it. There are tons of things that I like that others don't. That is just the way it is some times. I stuck with the show in hopes of a good pay off and to me it didn't have that. 2/5 spindly Darth Plagueis fingies ✌️👽
I think Sol's death and how Vern used it to cover her own tracks will lead to the end of the high council and the high republic. The senate are already increasingly scrutinous of the Jedi, and if they find out what Vern is lying about, it will be all the worse for the Jedi. I'm sure his being named after the Sun was on purpose for this reason.
Sol - can't sense Mae escaping. Vernestra - steps off ship and IMMEDIATELY feels Qimir's presence. I think Sol was to distracted by all that emotion for the twins so he wasn't 100% tuned in like he could've been. That's just my theory.
@@rocknroll1973I believe the suggestion is that Plagueis is currently “researching” vergences in the Force the same way the Jedi were in the season. And how seeing Osha and Mae being essentially one mind split into two bodies who were created by the Force is what ultimately inspires him to go into his work that Palpatine spoke about in Revenge of the Sith where Plagueis was able to use the Force to create “life” and save others from death. So basically the idea is that Plagueis got the idea to use the Force to create life from Osha and Mae and that’s what possibly lead to Anakin’s creation either because Plagueis or Palpatine used that knowledge or because the Force was reacting to them attempting to manipulate life with the Force
@@rocknroll1973 it's the way he is shown here.. So dumb. no climax, no suspense.. And he was teased, Yoda too... As usual in the series : some good ideas.... very bad editing, acting, writing.
@@MrElfyrion so because he didn't have some badass entrance and be completely revealed means it was bad...riiiight 😂 There was suspense tho. A shadowy figure lurking in the background watching. There was no climax because it was a tease for season 2 lmao. Very bad reason. Good writing, acting and editing. The original trilogy bad acting and bad writing
The jedi have a history of not charging ones who have lost their memory of their crimes... They typically use it as an opportunity to use them/bring them to the light. Let's remember the story of Revan.
This season was very off and on for me, but Qimir and Sol really made the show for me. Qimir has to be one of my favorite dark siders I've seen on screen. I hope there is a season two and I hope they leave the cringe aspects in season 1. They left a lot of potential with this finale. Can't wait to see where they go with Plagueis, Qimir and Osha.
@@eloyvv people like me? You mean people that are sick of Debbie downers all the time flapping lips? No its not me. Mirrors might be a good investment.
@@chm985 Question. If you love cheese, does that mean you have to love ALL cheeses? If you love movies does that mean you have to love ALL movies?

Thank you both for being a positive voice during the insane amount of unwarranted hate this show has been receiving. Not a perfect show by any means, clear issues in the writing and acting, but review bombed and the fandom is so full of hate. Loved your reactions, can’t wait for the next ones! ❤
i don’t know why a lot of the fanbase is so incapable of just trying to have fun with some of these shows. they’re not perfect but they don’t need to be, the only way to improve is to learn from mistakes. The Acolyte can only improve from here
@@TheeWandaStan bc it fucked sw in the ass with a rusty pipe. Having fun only goes so far when the shoe fucks the lore. Real fans actually care about tbe details and inconsistencies.
I just gotta say. I love this channel. u guys have so much knowledge, about star wars. and I myself told Kyle about my past that star wars rescued me way back as a child when i went thrue a lot of bad stuff. ad for me its important to let them know that is just as important for me to watch the series/movies and get a reaction from these guys! i learn alot watching them. so i cant wait to see more. Big ups to Kyle and bendu. u guys are the best. and if i never get to see one of u in the future in a star wars series/movie i ll get pissed haha! respect, much love. i once asked if i could create a intro music sequens for u, im a producer so that would be so cool. untill next time.

@@spencerrr9878that's actually incorrect. Venestra knows. And just wait until season 2.... alot more people will know. So unless they do the same thing as these moron jedi and not tell anyone. Everyone that cried... was right.
Worth The wait!!!!🎇 Priceless Reaction Kyle and Bendu! 😂 22:33 Kyle last night in the Hype stream you said you would do something lol Really hoping for a Season 2 now right! Awesome Ending with are little Green Friend 💚
I loved seeing J'onn J'onzz/Martian Manhunter calling out the Jedi to Vernestra. And it was great seeing the bleeding of the kyber crystal in live-action.
Not going to lie i was quite surprised to see that Osha bleed Sol's lightsaber in her anger and even use Force Choke on him, he even seemed to have accepted it by the end. I was quite surprised how Sol was not repentant at all for killing Aneseya. It seems that hiding the secret for so long he started to rationalize excuses for his actions, like care for Osha or making sure the Jedi learned about the vergence. Great lightsaber sequence between Sol and Qmir. Despite everything Sol was still a very skilled fighter to be able to win against a darksider who defeated 7 Jedi. And Venestra was indeed Qmir's master.Also all her talk about how Sol was a good man who let a mistake fester and change him it was so obvious she was talking about herself and whatever happened with Qmir. She was even lying to the senate and i bet she won't tell the whole truth to Yoda. She is going to use the now without memory Mae to hunt for Qmir and maybe will even end up with the same fate as Sol. I think she will tell the truth about Sol, Indara, Torbin and Kelnacca but hide the part about her old padawan, let it be some unknown Force user that she needs to investigate. I get the feeling trying to kill Qmir wasn't something sanctioned by the Jedi Council before. And so the cycle of lies done by the Jedi keep going until they are fully trapped in the Sith's web. By the way I think Plagueis was spying on them. Wonder if looking for future prospects or checking a possible competition. Great episode and we need a season 2 of this now!😁
I always found Plagueis to be intriguing… I never thought of him as scary… until now. That was some straight up nightmare fuel. And I don’t get scared easily. 😱
Osha was always going to kill whoever was responsible for her Mother's death. I think Sol was afraid of this, even subconsciously, and justified not telling her in order to avoid not only ruining her dream of being a Jedi, but to keep her from turning to the Dark Side. Though, it's likely him lying only ensured that outcome.
@@zerolegacy7821well I think its supposed to show that while the Jedi do aspire to be these great champions of peace, very few are actually able to find the balance to do so. Indara was the least affected by what happened, Sol's grief and regret kept steadily building over the years, Kelnacca went into a self imposed exile, and Torbin felt so guilty over causing the coven's death that he willingly poisoned himself. These are not perfect and just jedi like Qui gon, they are flawed and irrational, sad as it is.
@zerolegacy7821 I think Torbin felt guilty just being a PART of what happened. Imagine that, being responsible for the death of so many people and tearing apart a family as well. While he was not solely responsible, his part in the incident and then lying about what happened to the Order and to Osha about her family must have just worn Torbin down until he was desperate for absolution which eventually appeared in the form of Mae.
LFG!!!!!!! Sol definitely held that secret for 16 years, and when he finally told the truth to Mae, it definitely made her more enranged. The way Plagueis placed his hand there on the stone wall is the same thing you guys have lol. Been waiting for a reaction from you guys since yesterday and it was worth it.
I loved episodes 5,6 and 8. I think the story could have been written way better and all the rage-baiter grifters either don't know the lore, or ignore it to make money off of hating. So they'll be happy with a Season 2 for the wrong reasons. But to heck with it - give me that second season.
I loved how hyped you two are for all the cool stuff. Your reactions are so much fun - this is the energy I want in my Star Wars 😁 So much to digest and work through after this ... and season two cannot come soon enough!
I loved this show! IMO the show set the bar when it comes to Force Duels. Moving forward all future star wars shows will have to match that level of choreography along with badass force moves.
Plagueis and Venamis (Qimir) are fellow apprentices of Darth Tenebrous. Plagueis is the true apprentice and a Sith, while Venamis is a false apprentice and technically not Sith due to the Rule of Two. Venamis is attempting to overthrow Tenebrous and Plagueis, and Plagueis is most likely on the island spying on him. In the original story, Venamis fails in his rebellion because Tenebrous already knows everything and is several steps ahead. Plagueis sneaking around on the island provides an explanation for Tenebrous' ability to stay ahead of Venamis.
I was so worried that they weren't going to be able to stick the landing... I'm impressed with how they wrapped this up. I've enjoyed the entire season. Aside from the short episode run times and the Witches chanting, I had no issues at all. This Quimir/Saul fight was my favorite in all of Star Wars. Osha raging out after the realization that she had been lied to for 16 years, AND been angry at the wrong person for all that time, too, was incredible.
THIS is the reaction I've been waiting for! I'm super sad about Sol, but I still want a season 2 SO BAD. And I want it to actually focus on the Sith this time; I need more Qimir and Osha!
The one time Yody shouldn't be the puppet. How they gonna say Yoda looks so much older now than he did in episode 3? Gimme that good CGI Yoda pleaseeee
There is a feedback facility on Disney Plus. I don't have Twitter etc. If we want a season 2 we have to make sure we tell Disney in every way possible. This show has been excellent. Some people just want a continuation of the first films and refuse to adapt to anything different. I loved the characters and the fight scenes were fantastic. It has been really interesting to experience main characters you have grown to like to die. I really liked the speech given about how trying to repress emotionals can actually lead to a break. Venestra obviously struck Qmir with her whip. I want to see what caused her to do that.
I’ve watched all of y’all’s reactions to Acolyte. Even if I really didn’t enjoy the series, I really like having fun with Star Wars watching you two. Being about to see the positivity in all of it. Thanks you two so much.
she gave him a choice while he was behind his meditative force field, he took down the force field, apologiezed and then drank the poison. he choose to end his life rather than go to the jedi. in fact he choose death over continueing to sit there in his untouchable trance. so yes these were all choices that he made. he killed himself. all mae did was bring poison and give him a choice that she couldn't back up.
I liked the whole season. Pros: - bringing the idea that Jedi don't always make the right decisions. - bringing on screen things we read in the book.. i.e. Cortosis metal, Lightsaber Whip, Witches conceiving life, Darth Plagueis, Wookie jedi master, kyber crystal bled, new alien species like Basil, new planets, etc. - No space "pew pew" ... but more centralized around characters where peace is.. and not under galactic war. - Introducing known characters we have seen before such as Ki-Adi-Mundi. Cons: - 8 episodes is not enough - 34 minutes average is not enough.. make it at least 55 minutes.
Why does Osha go with Qimir even though he killed all of her friends just a few days before? She just killed Sol for killing her mother in selfdefense but is okay with Qimir doing it for power?
PLEASE LIKE THE VIDEO, How are people that sensitive over another's opinion that they feel the need to dislike a video because they personally don't like something. This show for example. Nothing annoys me more than the Star Wars incels who don't understand an opinion, but get offended when other's voice their opinion. I blame Star Wars Theory for focusing his channel on hate which bleeds into others making them spread hate also, very disgusting community and people that support him. Great Video guys regardless of what others think of the show. Love the content !
Its great to finally see Plagueis in liveaction. But the problem is that If He was Quimirs Master at this time already, that means He would be Like between 120 and 130 years old in the Phantom manace. That sadly doesnt add Up. They should have used Plagueis master Darth Tenebrus
What I love is all the other reactors acting like it was stupid she said, see you in hell Jedi, like what? There’s hell in Star Wars now? All the so called fans saying that and I’m like did not one of you watch ESB? Han fucking Solo said the same damn thing.

I enjoyed watching this series also, yes it had its moments but overall I enjoyed it and can't wait for season 2. You guys are the main reactors I enjoy watching.
I'm guessing now that the unknown world is Muunilinst, and the island is Plagueis' island lab from legends, if so, it is nice they brought it into canon. This was an interesting finale, Sol, in the end, refused to take responsibility for his actions. He wanted to kill both Quamir and Mae, to cover up what he did, and in the process turned someone he claimed to love to the dark side. It ironic that people talk about how old Plaguies looked, if this is a hundred years before Revenge of the Sith, that makes him in his sixties. Palpatine would be born in about twenty years, and Plagueis would be in his early hundreds.
So my thoughts on the Acolyte overall: I am glad the High Republic era finally got to come alive outside of the books. I know a game is being made but we have no real estimate as to when it’ll be released. I thought characters like Sol, Mae, Osha, Qimir and Jecki were interesting. Especially Qimir and Osha; one being a Jedi murdering menace and the other becoming the real acolyte. I very much approve of the martial arts and lightsaber choreography employed here as many bemoaned the sequels for lacking the umpf of those saber battles. That being said, there is a lack of true focus on the sith here. The focus on the jedi and their mistakes siphons too much of the momentum. They had something going with Mae targeting the Jedi responsible for the loss of her home. But we don’t get to see how she met Qimir, her thoughts about him (or rather his mask persona). We don’t even get a vision or flashback as to how Qimir slipped into the darkside. Overall, the series to me isn’t as terrible as people made it out to seem, but it definitely needed more here. Two or three more episodes might’ve fixed some of the issues here. If this storyline gets continued, I’m not betting on a season 2. More likely a one off comic.
Possibly because what Sol was going to use was a weapon to blow the ship up. Their original mission was to capture her if they could and this went against that. What he did also stranded her for future capture. He would have known the transponder was turned back on and the Jedi were on their way. That is at least how I see it.
@@Scottyjscizzle but why didn't he want her to die? She was a murderer. Had killed multiple jedi. Basil was all in all a very weird inclusion in this show.
Thanks so much for your reactions and great discussion and for just generally great vibes all season long. You good are the best. Totally called it: Sol dies, Mae goes dark and rides off to train with Qimir, and Vernestra figures it all out but throws Sol under the bus to cover it all up. I wasn't quite right because Mae didn't die as well, but she's basically sidelined by the memory wipe. The fight between Sol and Qimir was great. Disappointed we have to wait until S2 for Vernrstra vs Qimir. I was NOT expecting to see Plagueis. Did NOT expect to see Yoda. I think you're right that it was a puppet.
Saw a theory that explained why they twins both switch sides so easily. Them being the same person means they have to be opposite of each to balance Everytime one becomes dark the other because light each time they seem to change ideology they other does the exact opposite they are always in opposition of each other
IDC what anyone says, this is easily top 3 of the best season finales of any of the live-action SW series so far for me. For me, the first 10/10 I give the Acolyte and a second season with everything they set up is going to be GOATED. & also, round of applause for Amandla Stenberg, she had the best performance this episode to me and is now officially one of my favorite SW actresses. She had the hardest job outta anyone in this series and she freaking nailed it.
My go to for SW content. I get constructive criticism...I have lots for the show, but I am really tired of the negativity for the sake of negativity. A bro/sis duo complained about looking off into the sunset...like Luke and others have done to end a movie/show?
The only star wars channel I can come to without blatant lying, hate farming and bringing up legends material and passing it off as canon. Keep up the good content bro

I love how Qimir when he senses Vernestra is all "Oh shit.... Helmet on! Helmet on... NOW! Can't have her read my mind!"
Can't blame him. She's terrifying lol
@@YodatheHobbit lol
It was very much giving “Mom’s here! HIDE!” It was nice to see him slip up a little when he tried to keep such a controlled facade in front of everyone else.
now if Qimir was black Vernestra and her whip would be a different story
The Padawan in him jumped out there😂
Enjoyed Qimir's interest suddenly peaking when Sol reveals how Mother Aniseya was able to create life. Qimir knows someone who will be very interested in that piece of information.
I honestly thought that was guilt. That he knew all along. That is the reason why he was so eager to teach one of the sisters.
Remember, Qimir did not say he was looking for an Acolyte. He said he was looking for the power of two. Now, everyone assumes that means the Rule of Two. But he didn't say that. I think he is referring to the Dyad, the power of two force users bound to each other as one. So yeah, I don't think Qimir is looking for an apprentice to take over from Plagueis. I think he might be working with Plagueis to study the force dyad closer.
Imo, I feel like Plagueis attempted to influence life, an early experiment to what he'll manage to accomplish, and it happened to coincede with the moment Mother Aniseya tried to make life. Therefore, Mother Aniseya used Plagueis' power to make the twins. Or perhaps sb(Mother Koril) sensed Plagueis doing that, given Brendok is a vergence, and bound it. Still feel like there's one bit of information about the incident on Brendok we have yet to see. Maybe Plagueis was battling all the witches in tandem with Indara trying to free Kelnacca and that's why they died.
Then again, a dreamer's gotta dream...
Basil probably thought Sol was going to shoot Mae and thought “These fucking humans are insane. Stop this ride, I wanna get off.”
Yeah he was like Chill out Bro
That's what I thought as well.

It is crazy that Sol spent all last episode telling Mae what happened, not to beg for forgiveness, but to try and justify his actions, but at the same time, I can understand it. If you spend 16 years lying to everyone, you eventually end up lying to yourself. You start to believe that you did the right thing and ignore everyone who says otherwise.
Sol and Qimir can DUEL - I think they’re up there with some of the best duellists we’ve seen in live action
In English Sol = Sun, and Qimir = Moon. The Yin/Yang of the Force.
@@Madame702 in which language? Haven’t seen anyone mention this before, if true that’s a cool detail
Their fight scenes are pretty freaking epic. Really some of the best I’ve seen. I think it’s because it’s not about wild acrobatics, like no force jumping all over the place (a la Ep. 8/9) It’s just pure insane swordplay.
@@zerolegacy7821 if you really wish to prove your point, why not provide a simple link to this proof that isn't speculation on the show?
@@zerolegacy7821 From what I found Qamar means Moon in Arabic language.
I love the twins black and white clothing, light and dark, Osha have problem with anger, Mae have problem with love. One person in too bodies, I love it.
Sol means Sun, and Qimir means Moon.
One person being two person makes no sense lol
Reminds me of Arcann and Thexan from SWTOR, except the personalities were reversed (Arcann in white is more "dark side" and Thexan in black is more "light side").
@@facuez99one person, split into two. Like clones but not clones. You know Yoda when he fights his dark side in season 7 clone wars lost episodes? Yeah imagine it kinda like that. Light and dark split from one person into physical forms
@@zerolegacy7821 I know that. It was just an example how they are one and the same. But separate. You didn't understand what I said
The first time reconnected with the Force, Osha used it to end Sol. Dang
How could she force choke when she never can use the force in the entire season. Makes zero sense.

I'm glad to see there are people as excited as I am about certain aspects of this show, instead of prejudging it all and posting vids of their nit-picking and sighing through the whole thing.
@@zerolegacy7821 I'm aware. You can also give a show a chance before deciding it's bad. Too many people can't find anything good in this show, and it's clear they made that decision before even watching it. They huff and sigh at everything, and I mean everything, from start to finish. So, just like they shouldn't watch something they find so painful to watch, I won't be watching their reaction videos anymore. Easy.
The amount of haters out there that don’t want other people to continue to enjoy things is crazy.
It's not that it's that I want time and money to go to good writers and projects like Andor.
I was waiting for your reaction to Darth Plaeguis and it did not disappoint! Really hoping this show gets a season 2!
Considering it's reception and hate by soooo so many... I would doubt it ever gets a season 2... But hey, Disney's weird like that sometimes. So who knows? Maybe they make a season 2 despite the hate, which probably won't fare all too well for Disney's image... As per usual... We'll have to wait and see.
@@TheTrytix well the problem with all the hate is that it’s one of the most watched Star Wars shows on Disney+. Meaning, they’re making a lot of money off of it. I wouldn’t be surprised if there is a season 2
@TheTrytix I mean, Andor got greenlit for season 2 despite getting a lot of backlash from crazy people, I think Disney would continue Acolyte considering the view ratings are actually good.
@@itschewsday5252 Well... Whaddya know. People are literally so frustrated with the show they are hate watching it in huge masses... Great way to show how much people hate a show by showing how much they view it. XP
@@ashesGeek Well, then again, Andor is highly praised as some of the best Star Wars we have ever gotten ever. So fans REALLY want a second season of that anyways, which, much like the Acolyte, was always the intention.
I don't know of any backlash for that series honestly. I mean, compared to the Acolyte, it's almost no hate at all.
I like how Sol’s choices, now matter how noble & well intentioned he saw them, were a mask to cover his flaws & insecurities as a Jedi.
I don’t doubt that he truly loved Osha, but it goes to show that he was unable to express or even show his love for her when it came to the truth. In a way, Sol’s love for her was possessive from the moment he saw her on Brendok to his dying breath.
@@zerolegacy7821Yes!! Agreed!! Why isn't this talked about? Sol was very honest. He loved until the end even though others didn't get his awareness of the evil behind all this. He even tried explaining it to them just before his death, and they still didn't listen. Almost Christ-like. Even Osha was shocked after she killed him. She was possessed!
@@zerolegacy7821 Did you even watch the show. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Ahhhhhhh isn’t that cute.
You seem to confuse my opinion as a negative criticism towards Sol.
Maybe watch the episodes again
@@zerolegacy7821 you’re the only one taking this too seriously. Judging by your responses, you’re the only one mad about this.
I never said Sol is covering anything, if you stopped to actually think about it. I said they’re a mask for his insecurities.
His possessive love for Osha makes plenty of sense especially since he’s not really apologizing for what he did. Watch his interactions w/ Mae & Osha again & he’s clearly stating out loud that he believes what he did was right. He’s not apologizing for ruining their lives, he double downed on his choices and he paid for it.
Your reasoning that Sol wanted to take responsibility is flawed because he’s only doing it out of shame. Indara only convinced to lie because he ruined Osha’s life & fully knowing the Jedi wouldn’t make an exception for her as a Padawan would condemn Osha to living alone w/ no one to care for her.
@@zerolegacy7821
1) your second response reads off as an angry
2) this response comes off that you, & only you, are misinterpreting my statement.
Outside of Sol wanting to turn himself in to the Jedi Council in ep. 7. You’ve not provided any other examples or counters to my argument that Sol is flawed. If you have none, fine, move on to someone else.
If you don’t want to engage or think within the possibility that Sol’s “choices” to lie to Osha & his unwillingness to apologize are a mask for his guilt & insecurities as a Jedi. Then that’s your choice.
But in ep. 8, Sol’s refusal to take accountability for his actions all in the name of Osha & his love for her, doomed him to be killed by her.

@@UnknownUser22553 I'm 53 and grew up with the original movies , saw them in the theater, first run. This was a great story. This show was immediately hated from the first 2 minute trailer, 2 months before any of you saw the story and writing. While most of you hide behind "bad writing" etc , a good portion of you come right out and say it plainly. You don't like "DEI hires" and it's a "Disney agenda" , just the fact that you call it "Disney Star Wars" tells me you feel the same but you're just a coward , so cowardly you created a anonymous account. Stop being a coward. Star Wars is made by Lucasfilm. If you don't like the stories because there's a black female in the lead and the majority of the cast are minorities and women, it says more about the type of "fan" you are. Kick rocks
its wild to me that starvwars theory and all of his lackeys are dragging this show through the mud. its far from a horrible show.
Starwars theory is thirsting after a graham cracker and this exposed his bigotry.
There is literally nothing as awesome as watching SW with real fans. THANK YOU for all the wonderful reactions & conversations. Love you guys! ❤
Sol didn’t sense her cause his mind is all f’d up being back at that place & so clouding his senses. It’s sad :( I’ll miss him
Over all I've enjoyed this series, I'm sad we've lost yord, jecki and sol but we still have qimir who I just love watching I hope we get a series two (I'm not getting my hopes up tho). Thank you Kyle and Bendu for being so positive about this series which I sure you know is hard to find lol, May the force be with you both ❤❤
About time😂I’m from the UK I’ve been waiting all day😂
Ditto.
Same 😂
A refreshing palate cleanser after all the mean spirited cash in hate porn channels on youtube slagging this series off
I personally thought this show was bad. The pacing was bad, there wasn't enough time spent with the characters for me to genuinely care about what happens to them, and the entire season left us with more questions than answers.
That being said I will never hate on some one for liking it. There are tons of things that I like that others don't. That is just the way it is some times. I stuck with the show in hopes of a good pay off and to me it didn't have that. 2/5 spindly Darth Plagueis fingies ✌️👽
I think Sol's death and how Vern used it to cover her own tracks will lead to the end of the high council and the high republic. The senate are already increasingly scrutinous of the Jedi, and if they find out what Vern is lying about, it will be all the worse for the Jedi. I'm sure his being named after the Sun was on purpose for this reason.
A Jedi Bicycle kick was not on my bingo card and it was AWESOME
Edit: that whole duel was awesome
Sol - can't sense Mae escaping.
Vernestra - steps off ship and IMMEDIATELY feels Qimir's presence.
I think Sol was to distracted by all that emotion for the twins so he wasn't 100% tuned in like he could've been. That's just my theory.
😂 I literally had CHILLS seeing Plagueis
really ? he's apeairng the worst way.... COnsider his imoortance.
@@MrElfyrionwhy? It's just a small cameo. The sith are supposed to he in hiding. We don't know what he's doing there.
@@rocknroll1973I believe the suggestion is that Plagueis is currently “researching” vergences in the Force the same way the Jedi were in the season.
And how seeing Osha and Mae being essentially one mind split into two bodies who were created by the Force is what ultimately inspires him to go into his work that Palpatine spoke about in Revenge of the Sith where Plagueis was able to use the Force to create “life” and save others from death.
So basically the idea is that Plagueis got the idea to use the Force to create life from Osha and Mae and that’s what possibly lead to Anakin’s creation either because Plagueis or Palpatine used that knowledge or because the Force was reacting to them attempting to manipulate life with the Force
@@rocknroll1973 it's the way he is shown here.. So dumb. no climax, no suspense.. And he was teased, Yoda too... As usual in the series : some good ideas.... very bad editing, acting, writing.
@@MrElfyrion so because he didn't have some badass entrance and be completely revealed means it was bad...riiiight 😂
There was suspense tho. A shadowy figure lurking in the background watching. There was no climax because it was a tease for season 2 lmao.
Very bad reason. Good writing, acting and editing. The original trilogy bad acting and bad writing
I thoroughly enjoyed this series! Sure it had some questionable dialogue at times but it didn’t break the series. I’m glad this community did as well
The jedi have a history of not charging ones who have lost their memory of their crimes...
They typically use it as an opportunity to use them/bring them to the light. Let's remember the story of Revan.
This season was very off and on for me, but Qimir and Sol really made the show for me. Qimir has to be one of my favorite dark siders I've seen on screen. I hope there is a season two and I hope they leave the cringe aspects in season 1. They left a lot of potential with this finale. Can't wait to see where they go with Plagueis, Qimir and Osha.

I loved seeing J'onn J'onzz/Martian Manhunter calling out the Jedi to Vernestra. And it was great seeing the bleeding of the kyber crystal in live-action.
Episodes 5, 6, 7, 8 were all bangers
My favorite reaction to season finale so far!
Loved your guys’ reactions and conversation for this series! I like watching other SW channels but no one else gets me hyped like y’all do!
Not going to lie i was quite surprised to see that Osha bleed Sol's lightsaber in her anger and even use Force Choke on him, he even seemed to have accepted it by the end. I was quite surprised how Sol was not repentant at all for killing Aneseya. It seems that hiding the secret for so long he started to rationalize excuses for his actions, like care for Osha or making sure the Jedi learned about the vergence.
Great lightsaber sequence between Sol and Qmir. Despite everything Sol was still a very skilled fighter to be able to win against a darksider who defeated 7 Jedi. And Venestra was indeed Qmir's master.Also all her talk about how Sol was a good man who let a mistake fester and change him it was so obvious she was talking about herself and whatever happened with Qmir. She was even lying to the senate and i bet she won't tell the whole truth to Yoda. She is going to use the now without memory Mae to hunt for Qmir and maybe will even end up with the same fate as Sol.
I think she will tell the truth about Sol, Indara, Torbin and Kelnacca but hide the part about her old padawan, let it be some unknown Force user that she needs to investigate. I get the feeling trying to kill Qmir wasn't something sanctioned by the Jedi Council before. And so the cycle of lies done by the Jedi keep going until they are fully trapped in the Sith's web.
By the way I think Plagueis was spying on them. Wonder if looking for future prospects or checking a possible competition.
Great episode and we need a season 2 of this now!😁
I just love that J'onn J'onzz has joined Star Wars😄.
I always found Plagueis to be intriguing… I never thought of him as scary… until now. That was some straight up nightmare fuel. And I don’t get scared easily. 😱
I was waiting for the Plagueis moment. Did not disappoint 🤣
I have enjoyed watching you guys watching the show and enjoying it like me. So good to see fans enjoying it in the current internet culture
Sol doing the "Donnie Yen" kick, I wonder if he helped choreography or if it was respect
I dont think I've clicked faster than any other reaction. So stoked for this
lol
Osha was always going to kill whoever was responsible for her Mother's death. I think Sol was afraid of this, even subconsciously, and justified not telling her in order to avoid not only ruining her dream of being a Jedi, but to keep her from turning to the Dark Side. Though, it's likely him lying only ensured that outcome.
@@zerolegacy7821well I think its supposed to show that while the Jedi do aspire to be these great champions of peace, very few are actually able to find the balance to do so. Indara was the least affected by what happened, Sol's grief and regret kept steadily building over the years, Kelnacca went into a self imposed exile, and Torbin felt so guilty over causing the coven's death that he willingly poisoned himself. These are not perfect and just jedi like Qui gon, they are flawed and irrational, sad as it is.
@zerolegacy7821 I think Torbin felt guilty just being a PART of what happened. Imagine that, being responsible for the death of so many people and tearing apart a family as well. While he was not solely responsible, his part in the incident and then lying about what happened to the Order and to Osha about her family must have just worn Torbin down until he was desperate for absolution which eventually appeared in the form of Mae.
LFG!!!!!!!
Sol definitely held that secret for 16 years, and when he finally told the truth to Mae, it definitely made her more enranged. The way Plagueis placed his hand there on the stone wall is the same thing you guys have lol.
Been waiting for a reaction from you guys since yesterday and it was worth it.
I loved episodes 5,6 and 8. I think the story could have been written way better and all the rage-baiter grifters either don't know the lore, or ignore it to make money off of hating. So they'll be happy with a Season 2 for the wrong reasons. But to heck with it - give me that second season.
Here's hoping for no season 2
I loved how hyped you two are for all the cool stuff. Your reactions are so much fun - this is the energy I want in my Star Wars 😁
So much to digest and work through after this ... and season two cannot come soon enough!

I loved this show! IMO the show set the bar when it comes to Force Duels. Moving forward all future star wars shows will have to match that level of choreography along with badass force moves.
Plagueis and Venamis (Qimir) are fellow apprentices of Darth Tenebrous. Plagueis is the true apprentice and a Sith, while Venamis is a false apprentice and technically not Sith due to the Rule of Two. Venamis is attempting to overthrow Tenebrous and Plagueis, and Plagueis is most likely on the island spying on him. In the original story, Venamis fails in his rebellion because Tenebrous already knows everything and is several steps ahead. Plagueis sneaking around on the island provides an explanation for Tenebrous' ability to stay ahead of Venamis.
Thanks for explaining this.
I think Sol was going to blast Mae & Bazil saved her.
Sol wasn’t going to, but Bazil thought he was. Misunderstanding is a big theme of this show.
I was so worried that they weren't going to be able to stick the landing...
I'm impressed with how they wrapped this up. I've enjoyed the entire season. Aside from the short episode run times and the Witches chanting, I had no issues at all. This Quimir/Saul fight was my favorite in all of Star Wars. Osha raging out after the realization that she had been lied to for 16 years, AND been angry at the wrong person for all that time, too, was incredible.
THIS is the reaction I've been waiting for! I'm super sad about Sol, but I still want a season 2 SO BAD. And I want it to actually focus on the Sith this time; I need more Qimir and Osha!
The one time Yody shouldn't be the puppet. How they gonna say Yoda looks so much older now than he did in episode 3? Gimme that good CGI Yoda pleaseeee
There is a feedback facility on Disney Plus. I don't have Twitter etc. If we want a season 2 we have to make sure we tell Disney in every way possible. This show has been excellent. Some people just want a continuation of the first films and refuse to adapt to anything different. I loved the characters and the fight scenes were fantastic. It has been really interesting to experience main characters you have grown to like to die. I really liked the speech given about how trying to repress emotionals can actually lead to a break. Venestra obviously struck Qmir with her whip. I want to see what caused her to do that.
The fact that you theorized that Master Venestra pinned the whole thing on Sol before watching it is… impressive. Most impressive.
I’ve watched all of y’all’s reactions to Acolyte. Even if I really didn’t enjoy the series, I really like having fun with Star Wars watching you two. Being about to see the positivity in all of it. Thanks you two so much.
Very cool to see Kyle predict the force choke reveal at 17:12. Couldn’t believe that answer was staring me right in the face the entire show.
The crystal and the saber changing was so Visions and I am so here for it.
Kyle and Bendu would make a pair of badass Sith Lords in tanks.
Mae got out of the fire the same way Luke got away from Vader in ESB
Hey hey!!! There’s the dynamic duo!!!!! AHHHH CANT WAIT TO HEAR WHAT YOU GUYS TALK ABOUT :)
Let’s gooooooo! This episode was absolutely incredible. Great season. I need a season 2 confirmation *expeditiously*
Aw yeah, gotta throw on my black tank for this one!
The only reaction I was waiting for lol.. texting both already on instagram about how I liked the episode yesterday.
Both are the best in term of SW.
It's been a joy watching this series with you two. Love the excitement. It's like watching with friends.
she gave him a choice while he was behind his meditative force field, he took down the force field, apologiezed and then drank the poison. he choose to end his life rather than go to the jedi. in fact he choose death over continueing to sit there in his untouchable trance. so yes these were all choices that he made. he killed himself. all mae did was bring poison and give him a choice that she couldn't back up.
I liked the whole season.
Pros:
- bringing the idea that Jedi don't always make the right decisions.
- bringing on screen things we read in the book.. i.e. Cortosis metal, Lightsaber Whip, Witches conceiving life, Darth Plagueis, Wookie jedi master, kyber crystal bled, new alien species like Basil, new planets, etc.
- No space "pew pew" ... but more centralized around characters where peace is.. and not under galactic war.
- Introducing known characters we have seen before such as Ki-Adi-Mundi.
Cons:
- 8 episodes is not enough
- 34 minutes average is not enough.. make it at least 55 minutes.
I've watched about 5 reaction videos to this episode ... and I'm glad absolutely nobody understood wtf Bazil was doing sabotaging Sol's ship. lol
Ha! I’m not even sure the writers understood what Bazil was doing in that scene. Lol.
Why does Osha go with Qimir even though he killed all of her friends just a few days before? She just killed Sol for killing her mother in selfdefense but is okay with Qimir doing it for power?
PLEASE LIKE THE VIDEO, How are people that sensitive over another's opinion that they feel the need to dislike a video because they personally don't like something. This show for example. Nothing annoys me more than the Star Wars incels who don't understand an opinion, but get offended when other's voice their opinion. I blame Star Wars Theory for focusing his channel on hate which bleeds into others making them spread hate also, very disgusting community and people that support him. Great Video guys regardless of what others think of the show. Love the content !
Its great to finally see Plagueis in liveaction. But the problem is that If He was Quimirs Master at this time already, that means He would be Like between 120 and 130 years old in the Phantom manace. That sadly doesnt add Up. They should have used Plagueis master Darth Tenebrus
What I love is all the other reactors acting like it was stupid she said, see you in hell Jedi, like what? There’s hell in Star Wars now? All the so called fans saying that and I’m like did not one of you watch ESB? Han fucking Solo said the same damn thing.

Uncle Owen also says "there'll be hell to pay"
I enjoyed watching this series also, yes it had its moments but overall I enjoyed it and can't wait for season 2. You guys are the main reactors I enjoy watching.
I'm guessing now that the unknown world is Muunilinst, and the island is Plagueis' island lab from legends, if so, it is nice they brought it into canon. This was an interesting finale, Sol, in the end, refused to take responsibility for his actions. He wanted to kill both Quamir and Mae, to cover up what he did, and in the process turned someone he claimed to love to the dark side.
It ironic that people talk about how old Plaguies looked, if this is a hundred years before Revenge of the Sith, that makes him in his sixties. Palpatine would be born in about twenty years, and Plagueis would be in his early hundreds.
So my thoughts on the Acolyte overall:
I am glad the High Republic era finally got to come alive outside of the books. I know a game is being made but we have no real estimate as to when it’ll be released.
I thought characters like Sol, Mae, Osha, Qimir and Jecki were interesting. Especially Qimir and Osha; one being a Jedi murdering menace and the other becoming the real acolyte. I very much approve of the martial arts and lightsaber choreography employed here as many bemoaned the sequels for lacking the umpf of those saber battles.
That being said, there is a lack of true focus on the sith here. The focus on the jedi and their mistakes siphons too much of the momentum. They had something going with Mae targeting the Jedi responsible for the loss of her home. But we don’t get to see how she met Qimir, her thoughts about him (or rather his mask persona). We don’t even get a vision or flashback as to how Qimir slipped into the darkside.
Overall, the series to me isn’t as terrible as people made it out to seem, but it definitely needed more here. Two or three more episodes might’ve fixed some of the issues here.
If this storyline gets continued, I’m not betting on a season 2. More likely a one off comic.
Agreed. It definitely has its flaws but people took it too far.
Serious question. Why did Basil do what he did to the ship to make it spin out of control???
Possibly because what Sol was going to use was a weapon to blow the ship up. Their original mission was to capture her if they could and this went against that. What he did also stranded her for future capture. He would have known the transponder was turned back on and the Jedi were on their way.
That is at least how I see it.
Yeah, that just didn’t make sense. Not explained well at all. But it allowed May to get away and the rest of the events unfold.
Because he saw Sol targeting her to shoot her, he didn’t want her to die and saw sol was tweeking
@@Scottyjscizzle but why didn't he want her to die? She was a murderer. Had killed multiple jedi.
Basil was all in all a very weird inclusion in this show.
Their mission was to bring her in and not kill her. Also something else that I thought of was that I don’t think Bazil wanted Pip to get destroyed.
Love your guy's reactions, you two seem really fun to hang out with. Keep it up! Cannot wait for a season 2!!!!!!!!
Thanks so much for your reactions and great discussion and for just generally great vibes all season long. You good are the best.
Totally called it: Sol dies, Mae goes dark and rides off to train with Qimir, and Vernestra figures it all out but throws Sol under the bus to cover it all up. I wasn't quite right because Mae didn't die as well, but she's basically sidelined by the memory wipe.
The fight between Sol and Qimir was great. Disappointed we have to wait until S2 for Vernrstra vs Qimir. I was NOT expecting to see Plagueis. Did NOT expect to see Yoda. I think you're right that it was a puppet.
Saw a theory that explained why they twins both switch sides so easily. Them being the same person means they have to be opposite of each to balance Everytime one becomes dark the other because light each time they seem to change ideology they other does the exact opposite they are always in opposition of each other
IDC what anyone says, this is easily top 3 of the best season finales of any of the live-action SW series so far for me. For me, the first 10/10 I give the Acolyte and a second season with everything they set up is going to be GOATED. & also, round of applause for Amandla Stenberg, she had the best performance this episode to me and is now officially one of my favorite SW actresses. She had the hardest job outta anyone in this series and she freaking nailed it.
Top 3 out of…7?
Bro its the worst show ever
My go to for SW content. I get constructive criticism...I have lots for the show, but I am really tired of the negativity for the sake of negativity. A bro/sis duo complained about looking off into the sunset...like Luke and others have done to end a movie/show?
I’ll like to see these guys debate Star Wars theory negative ass
Theory would rip them apart, but it will never happen for these guys. They busy drinking the blue milk of Disney SW.
Basil smells BS. 😂
Osha thought her vision was of Mae force choking Sol while holding his lightsaber but in reality it was her. Love the twist of her vision.
The only star wars channel I can come to without blatant lying, hate farming and bringing up legends material and passing it off as canon. Keep up the good content bro
TRUEEEE THEY ARE BETTER THAN THE HATER OS SW THEORY
As soon as Osha said she had a vision of Mae killing Sol, I knew it was going to be Osha killing Sol.
Yh same
Poor Sol felt, so bad for him...Plagues!
My son and I enjoyed the series. The ending was excellent and we are hoping for a second season.
So there are not in fact "more of" you all or the show wouldn't have been cancelled 😂
It was a great episode and a great series. Bring on season two.
