Just because you have a RUclips channel doesn't mean you're right. 🤡
Blindly calling people haters with out debating or arguing you point of view is not proving your point
It's not Ahch-To. End of
@CrystalClearSQL agreed 👍 he speculated most of the time and comes up with his own personal theories for each episodes. He's just full of info without substance and truth and clearly has a one track mind when it comes to others having different opinions
@screenCrush 16 years, not 15
The unknown planet was filmed on Madeira Island, a Portuguese island off the coast of Morocco. I lived there as a kid it's stunning and worth a visit.
That's so cool!!
so the unknown planet is Earth... this changes everything!
Let me find out this is Ach-To....🫡😎
To be clear, it's off its Atlantic, not Mediterranean coast, and thus unrelated to the Balearic Islands such as Mallorca and Menorca. I initially assumed that it was part of the latter and had to look it up.
The stuff you learn when you don't mean to.
wow so thats your highlight man so low
Osha: im not as easily corrupted as my sister
Also osha 5 minutes later: starts to be easily corrupted.
It kinda goes along with the rest of the flip flop attitudes of both Mae and Osha.
Most people think they are not easily corrupted
Or, know your enemy?
are you corrupted if that was in you all along? I think that’s why she went to the dark side easily. The Jedi were corrupting her which is why she said she’s not easily corrupted.
Qimir's lightsaber has that effect. 😉
5:29 - the island of Madeira was extensively used as a location for this series. I visited the island around 16 month ago and Disney had sectioned off half of the town of Porto Moniz to film there. If you look close at some of the mountain shots you’ll also see the man-made levadas that run all over the island too
Lots of well-maintained trails even through the big beach boulders. Also these can't be sith, there are railings on platforms barely 20 feet high!
Knights of Ren implies there's an Order of Stimpy
At this rate... I wouldn't be surprised....
Yes please!
Space…madness!
Comment of the day!
This^
i think its refreshing to have a team actually analyzing this show from a neutral standpoint. All the hate is getting really annoying
It’s short and kind of boring maybe not hate needed but isn’t good….. if wasn’t Star Wars would’ve been cancelled already
Yeah you have a great point, it is refreshing…Because this show is the worst dog 💩 I have ever seen, absolute trash.
This guy gets notes passed too him to attempt making sense of the show. The fact that it has to be defended proves its garbage.
Agreed. The ppl whining and complaining need to stop and consider that the show wasn’t made catering to them. Prob shocking for the dudebros since they’re used to being centered.
all of these people commenting on a neutral and pleasant comment with insults and cursing have to be fake.... I don't know anyone in real life who has this kind of bitterness.
One thing that was really subtle, yet intense was when Qimir was talking about the sensory deprivation helmet, and how it was used when they were younglings, as Osha is looking over her shoulder at the helmet, feeling that temptation to go pick it up, we suddenly smash-cut to Jeki's dead body. It's like this whole episode we've been lured towards the dark side right alongside Osha, but now we're suddenly seeing firsthand what it leads to. And the through-line between being a youngling and wearing the sensory-deprivation helmet, and Qimir killing a young padawan while wearing this same kind of helmet, it's incredibly dark but also powerful and sad and heavy AF.
After he didn’t let Mae see his face-which Sol pointed out to him- he is letting Osha see literally all of his body. The appearance of vulnerability is a huge part of what is seductive.
I think he's trying something new. He's powerful in the Force, but he doesn't know how to recruit well.
Osha says she's not easily corrupted as she spent the whole episode being corrupted.
Hubris
I think that's a good lesson on hubris, that those that believe themselves inherently incorruptible are the most susceptible to corruption. Because they deny what's in them instead of overcoming it.
That's what The Stranger told him, it is her strength.
Wasn't easy tho 😂
I think a direction this show is trying to go is making a distinction between involutive growth versus evolutive growth. Involutive meaning inwards, higher degree of individuation. Evolutive meaning exterior, higher degree of collectivism.
The principle that is being conveyed is that what we think of as evil, is actually just straying from goodness. The Jedi in the show, while advocates of a good exterior collective, have become ‘overpowered’ and thus there is nothing balancing or binding them. The stranger seeks a life of connection and willful independence in the force, which consequently, the Jedi have outlawed. His point that he is defending himself by killing the Jedi who know him is effectively affirming that the price of his independence is the actions he must take to maintain it (slaying those whom might take his independence, in the world of individuation it’s eat or be eaten).
He also wears a mask for both purposes: to enhance his individual connection with the force, and to preserve his identity, so his need not slay his opponents.
This whole show is a really good essay on the right vs left path, the distinction between explorational Egoism vs Naive Egoism, and self mastery of emotion. I will not be very surprised if by the end of the series, the audiences’ sympathy isn’t directed toward the Stranger.
This show isn’t big on leading us on (ie, the quick twin reveal, Qimir being the not-so-secret sith). Pretty sure they showed us the lightsaber whip and Qimir’s scar so we could draw the conclusion that she scarred him.
Like we're preschoolers. I got it. 👌
@@conscientiousobjector5988 Eh. I don’t mind the way they are doing it. But I watch Star Wars to have fun and don’t worry so much about the critiques. Besides, nothing is more on brand for Star Wars than really interesting stories with spotty execution - including some super high highs and some very low lows- right?
@@rhochnerful I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. The Star Wars I remember was rich in allegory and moral themes. There may be the occasionally goofiness but that is meant to lighten up the story, not smother it. The first two episodes of Acolyte had something going but each consecutive episode has been fumbled by the writer it was passed to.
Which could be the ultimate misdirect, to get us to focus on these too-obvious clues while missing the biggest one of all. Kind of like how Qimir is being too nice and down to earth with Osha. I think that we're heading for a major and shocking reveal at the season's conclusion (which would not just be good drama but job security to assure that there will be a second season).
@@kovie9162 I feel like no matter what there won’t be a second season. The white neckbeard incels have been too loud about them not being at the centre of the galaxy.
The Jeckie 3-hole punch joke? Too soon, Ryan. Too soon!!
😂😂
When Osha asks why she never heard of him when she was a padawan...he said it happened a very long time ago. And we know Venestra lives very long....so he could have been her padawan and then spent time in statis before coming out in this time period. Her keeping his darkside fall as her padawan a secret appears in line with her current MO of keeping things from the council.
I had the same thoughts. Q was V padawan
I hate dramatic hacks like stasis and consciousness transfer to retcon your way out of situations. Let's hope that they didn't resort to one here again and that Qimir is from a more recent timeline. Because when you do these things too often, it all becomes kind of random and meaningless.
I think he was her Padawan a long time again, she injured him, and in an attempt to heal him and/or keep him from running, put him in statis. Qimir either escaped or was freed by another party.
@@kovie9162it can definitely be overused, but it’s science fiction! I expect this kind of tomfoolery from the future. The show Altered Carbon was based around those two tropes and great sci-fi writers like Alistair Reynolds and Iain M. Banks use it to travel across space and millennia. It’s core to science fiction and space drama. But, yeah, it can be done wrong.
Just to want to thank the team for the amazing job. These videos are detailed and show a neutral view of the show, allowing the smart audience to use their brain and form decisions. The hate out there is just noise and you stand out.
In my opinion it's actually a pretty good show and I'm waiting every week for each episode and each eater egg videos.
The biggest indictment of the Jedi is that every powerful Master seems to have a student that quits and becomes a Dark Sider; it has become a cliche at this point. If you're on the Council, raise your hand if one of your padawans DIDN'T become a Sith ...
Truth... at this point you'd think that would be the 1st thought, not the last. Mystery force user?... Who's padawan is missing?
@@zerolegacy7821 I'm sure if they used logical deductive reasoning as Jedi masters, then can figure it out
only ones I can think of are Dooku, Kylo, and Anakin. At least in the movies. I actually like Dooku and Anakin twists though. They more earned. Especially after seeing Dooku in the Jedi shorts on Disney.
@@weltonspratley4367 And that's the rub though, isn't it? I've yet to see a logical deductive Jedi in this show, lol.
They recruit, or rather manipulate and coerce, infants into a military cult. That is bad.
To Doug's comment about Porgs being missing. It's a Planet. The scale of Star Wars is usually lost on folk. An alien landing in Australia is going to see vastly different Fauna than one landing in the Americas. Still the same planet.
Nice observation
But most planets (and moons) in Star wars have been shown to have a single biome, no? Tatooine, Hoth, and "the forest moon of Endor" are the obvious original examples of this.
@@jbuster9you’re right but it’s not a story strength. Star Wars has always had these flaws. It’s fine. It’s fun. We accept it. But it’s not a rule that every planet is a single biome. So I like when they don’t do it. I like when they avoid fire in space too…but they always have it. 🤣🤷♂️
@@jbuster9 I guess they could be seen as single biome, especially the examples stated, but even on earth, forest biomes have wide varieties from forest to forest. Even on the same continent. Like you won't find the same animals in the woodlands of North America as you would in the rainforests of south America, ya know? To be clear I don't necessarily think they ARE the same planet (precisely because of Star Wars' tendencies to simplify in the way you've mentioned) just saying the absence of similarities doesn't have to mean they are different planets.
The scale of Star Wars is also lost on the writers. They get from Coruscant to the Outer Rim in like 3 minutes...
Qimir 100% isn’t Darth Plageuis. It’s pretty obvious he’s a Sith apprentice or acolyte himself, not a Master
People forget even with the rule of two Sideous had multiple apprentice over a short period of time. Maul, Dooku, Anakin. This could be one of the current Sith Lords potential or gap
apprentices, or a Sith assassin like savage opress or Ventress.
I hope so, I'd love to see live action versions of both those aliens instead.
He's Ren
Has the rule of two ever been followed? lol I mean at this point that has to be the most unfollowed rule in the galaxy.
@@vjtm7061no he isn’t
50 shades of Syth
Hahahahaha
I understood that reference.
More please 😂
A 3-Hole Punch on a shirt with jecki's horns would be a great shirt
Ah yes! Trauma!
With an Office theme. Like three hole punch Jim 😂
Dark, but great idea
😭😭
Need this asap missed opportunity
Also "the stranger" is probably the best addition to star wars in a long time
This show would be great if you took all of the mae and osha stuff out and it was ironically specifically created for that actress
Looks like a goofy horror mask
He let’s Osha hold his lightsaber- pause
Ok, this made me giggle
Dude... are you 12?
"This incredibly good looking man" Even Ryan falling for Qimir Force rizz
Seeing a live action selkath for three seconds as a background character has made my days.
I'm sure it did
So that made something light up in my head.
If they put out these episodes like 10 minutes after the show premieres, how do they include thanks to random people from social media who point out Easter eggs in it?
Is there a secret society of fans who get to watch these things in pre-drop screeners?
"3 hole punched like Jecki"😢 you outdid yourself with that one
Too soon, man. Too soon.
Osha following a man who just mercilessly massacre her friends and a bunch of innocent Jedi right in front of her is wildddd
Yep 😒
It's actually the first instance of awful writing that I've seen in this series (despite all the whining from the clown gallery). Unless there's a flashback in a later episode that tells us Osha is that damaged. And she's pretty damaged now, but not that damaged.
So what you're saying is the dark side of the force is very powerful and seductive.
I think it is quite poetic that Qimir offered his lightsaber to Osha just like Sol did.
Right? At least he didn’t use the cheesy line about her looking good as a Jedi.
@@persephone342 yup
He didn't offer it to Osha, she picked it up while we was bathing.
@zerolegacy7821 if I left cake on the table, knowing you would come eat it, and you come eat it, I'm pretty much offering you cake
Good catch!
I think it was funny when that droid did the "hawk tuah" to mae's face. 😂
That was hot
Thank you all for staying positive on the channel throughout the years (been here since WandaVision). Even when you didn't like shows like Secret Invasion, you still were able to talk about the parts of it you really enjoyed while giving genuine and well-thought-out criticisms.
You really hit on some seminal wisdom about the Force in this episode: that dark side users can meditate, that the dark side isn't inherently bad but it's about what you bring with you. Really well done, Ryan and team.
I honestly think next week's episode is going to open with Sol telling Mae everything that happened 16 years ago, but with Osha wearing the helmet, she'll be connected to Mae at the same time and she'll hear everything Sol is telling her. Which is what will push both sisters in the opposite direction of where they started from.
Next week is the second flashback episode
That would be a pretty interesting direction to go.
THAT would be very interesting and a well written plot device.... and that's why it probably won't happen... it would require good writing and we haven't seen that yet.
If that’s the case then the whole trying to play into the Jedi being in the wrong was stupid. It’s either the Jedi did something horrible and Mae will be even more bloodthirsty or the Jedi actually did nothing but defend themselves. Which would mean both Osha and Mae should side with the Jedi. It can’t be both ways. It would make no sense.
@@JBurnz001it's not the crime, it's the coverup
I think the "a long time ago" comment implied essence transfer but I could be wrong
Another solid episode of the Acolyte, I look forward to watching Episode 7 next week.
So sorry to hear about your lobotomy.
Did anyone else notice that when Vernestra and Sol didn't show any emotion when they killed the umbramoths, but Osha was sad when the umbramoths were killed?
Here’s one that I haven’t seen pointed out.. Osha’s tattoo was dark in colour, while Mae’s was light, foreshadowing the eventual role reversal of them both
Qimir was perfectly casted. Crushing it!
love your videos. one of the very few creators offering non-toxic coverage of star wars media. much appreciated.
For real, I appreciate the heck out of it.
Couldn't have said it better myself
Having a differing opinion is toxic?
@@FromTrash2Treasurecorrect! Must love all things Disney - no critiques allowed!
@FromTrash2Treasure having a difference of an opinion isn't Toxic. It's how you present/talk about that opinion. Most are just blantly attacking others for liking the show and acting like children. It's exhausting.
I personally believe Qimir is the "Acolyte" who was cast off by Tenebrous and Plagueis, and he wants to start his own branch of the Rule of Two.
I have been watching for more than four years, and I am still surprised how good you are to transition to the ad. You guys are amazing, now please make a shirt that says I'm just so smoll, or a screencrush >heavy spoilers shirt
I really hope that isn't the only time we get to see that light whip 😢
Cortosis only shorts out Lightsabers in its raw ore form, like iron. When refined into alloys, like steel, it's Lightsaber resistant. But it can't create the feedback to short out the blade.
I think the helmet is so rough and cracked because it's raw Cortosis. Which is also very brittle.
Loved that you caught that he was fighting everyone blind with the helmet on. If you take a look again at the scene, he actually fights better with it on than without it. Almost like his connection to the force is heightened from the lack of outside influence, like a blind man's hearing and sense of touch increases, great catch 👍🏾
Kind of like Luke the first time he stopped the remote from zapping him.
Star Wars almost had some nudity
😂 would have been awesome 😂
It not like Andor almost had nudity oh wait it’s did
Chewy was nude.
I had just watched House of Dragon before this 😂
@@Panyc333 underrated comment
When Qimir walks out the water butt ass naked.....osha's face would indicate his power is his weapon😂😂
"Would you like to hold my other light saber?"
I'm starting to think that whilst Qimir is A Sith..he is not part of THE Sith. Perhaps he's like Exar Kun, learning of the Sith and 'reviving' them in his own image...unaware that they are not actually gone.
I had the same thought, perhaps the real Sith are just watching it all play out and will intervene if Qimir becomes a threat to their plans.
Qimir only referred to himself as a Sith because that is what some Jedi would label him as such. Doesn't mean he isn't one though. The rule of two forbids multiple Sith so we may get a resolution to that by the end.
"Sith-Adjacent"
@@MADC1973At this point he's the only hint of a sith. We need more data.
My wife and I request more Doug! We love you Ryan but your pup helped us with our loss. Our pup used to bark and wag his butt every time he saw Doug. Now we talk about our pup’s reactions to him. Every time we see your videos, I get a moment of my old life back. Thanks, man.
Liking how the show dives into the Sith's perspective on the Force 🔥🔥🔥
Sol jumping to hyperspace just as the Jedi rescue party arrives reminds me of Rogue One when Vader’s star destroyer arrives to block the fleeing rebellion ships.
This episode was actually more interesting, glad to see it's evolving into something better executed because the concept is great, just gotta smooth out the execution 😌
Plus all of the conflict and things being said from both people related to the show itself and haters is being disgusting, both parts should be ashamed.
It really wasn't. The only interesting part was the "tempting" of Osha, but it was constantly interrupted with the meandering and stupid subplots that are just filler.
Han "that's not how the force works". Cal Kestis"yes it is"
I sat through the entire Badlands Ranch commercial because your banter with Doug is so on point.
The line "it's only after you've lost everything that you're free" is verbatim (slightly abbreviated) from Fight Club "it's only after you've lost everything that you're free to do anything"
I said it with him lol mu son asked how I knew lol 😂 I told him they just did Fight Club hahahaha
It’s in so much shit. Books etc.
Yes, it’s a common phrase, one that Fight Club was making fun of (the entire book is making fun of that silly mindset).
@@TravelsTTG Yes, the book that it's in is called Fight Club.
@@EvanAdnams The sentiment behind the quote is as old as Plato, but the word for word quote is from Fight Club. I'm very happy to be proved wrong if you can show me an earlier instance. SC has mentioned in previous videos that Headland reportedly made the cast and crew watch Fight Club prior to filming. I'm totally with you that FC was ridiculing the very people who ended up worshipping it.
The soup Qimir is cooking is called Sinigang
I've been watching your videos for years now and the research and details you uncover are priceless. Beats people just running naked on here getting more views. Please keep up the good work! Much appreciated!
I’ve heard others say that Qimir’s scar looked like it was from Venestra’s whip, though to me it looks like a scar from lightning, sith force lighting.
Came to say the same, i don't see a split or cat of nine tails end on that whip saber.
His scar is shaped like a y, which is very possible if you imagine the loop of a wip being semi blocked by a blade. The arc of the wip might look like ➰, so if thr bottom of that loop doesn’t make contact or is blocked it would leave a ‘y’ shaped impression.
If it was lightning it would probably be even more fractal like.
Also consider the fact that Qimir is trying to build gear that interferes with saber equipment as a means of deterrence.
That’s a great point! Man I can’t wait to find out which!
@@EccleezyAvicii Thank goodness for loop emojis, made it a lot clearer.
It would also be multiple overlapping lashes. I can be 100% sure but it definitely looked like Qimir had multiple scars at some points.
I'm enjoying this show. I'd say it's among the best of the Disney+ Star Wars series. Regarding Rebecca Henderson's Vernestra Rwoh (sp?), her voice reminds me of Karen Gillan's take on Nebula.
And then you see Karen Gillan in anything else and realize she acted the hell out of Nebula.
Actually really like the show, that helmet and sabre designs on point
One of the best episodes, and great analysis of it. What I find interesting about a whip's scar on a back is that it directly suggests slavery. Qimir said he wants freedom.
The Jedi at this point do seem very authoritarian. But later that's totally the Sith. Have to wonder what they do to flip it.
I thought oshas breathing when wearing the helmet was more like a sith assassin as seen in the force unleashed games
This video is almost as long as the episode 😂
I just want to say I can’t tell you enough how much I appreciate you not bashing the show.
There's enough bozos in here in the comments bashing it that the channel doesn't need to.
The filming of the island was filmed in Madeira, Portugal. I'm Portuguese so I was able to identify and also hear news about them recording this series in Madeira
Okay, but I seriously need a "Doug Approved" sticker, pls and thank you.
(I did check the merch store and didn't see one, but I could've missed it)
The eye slit in Qimir's helmet is very similar to an invention by the Inuit. They developed goggles, made from bone, with a very narrow eye slit. This is to protect them from bright light and snow blindness, while allowing them to see (though with a limited field of view). Bright light / light side?
I just love star wars. More star wars is always better to me than less star wars.
saying Jecki was "three-hole punched" is cold man
After watching the sixth episode of The Acolyte, I feel this show would have been ten times more interesting if Smilo Ren were the main character and the show focused on his fall to the dark side and Master Sol was his former Jedi Master. They are the only characters I care about.
But that's just me. Like the show or hate it, these two characters and their actors, Manny Jacinto and Lee Jung-jae, are carrying the show.
Agreed that through 6 episodes the only character I have any mild curiosity/investment in is Qimir.
we really dont know much about this master though. like he could be thousands of years old or a just a lost jedi like he implies. He made it really weird when he said a long time ago after Osha said she hadnt heard of him considerring he appears as only a few years older than her. but i do think focusing more on the bad guys is something needed in SW. Would love to see a Vader series where he is taking out remaining jedi and terrorizing the galaxy.
Except Manny is not queer, melanated, or female. I'm serious about this. Disney shouldn't cave to anti-DEI but stay the course, farming for better talent.
Disappointed Yord and Jecki were...yeeted and jacked. I wanted to see more of their development, actually. 12 1-hour episodes under the same total budget would have made a better span for storytelling...granted the storyteller actually knows how to do that. Just sayin. 🤷♂
@ColonelStan agreed. I avoid trailers these days because they give away too much, so I went in blind for the most part with only information from the synopsis and things said by channels like this leading up to it. I was expecting the same, a show about the sith from their point of view. Not 1/4 of the show about that. Kinda disappointed, was hoping for exactly what you said.
@@conscientiousobjector5988 errr but he is "melanated", a lot more so than pedro pascal, and Dieago luna, you know the other male star wars leads. So dry your eyes and just enjoy the rest of the show
Really liked the episode: Master Sol appeared like a Serialkiller at the end, the work with the light and shadow onboard the Jedi ship created such a tense atmosphere.
Thanks for the super fast easter egg video!
Yes he did! I thought about the movie Saw.
Seems like someone who screwed up once and then kept killing to fix or hide
his screwups.
@@jenniferwilson2217Yes! So cool. Such a great job by Lee Jung-jae.
@@liferealgoodAnd felt really bad about it the same time - I don‘t know if I should dislike Sol or just have pity with him. He seemed so troubled right from the moment he met Osha again - and now he completely lost it 😢
What did you take before watching it to get that effect? Maybe I should try it and enjoy this shitshow more...
You have to wait almost all the way through the end credits, but then there’s a very clear articulation of Kylo Ren’s theme, maybe the clearest yet. I was surprised I had to wait so long to hear it, but it was worth it!
I think Qimir is just the apprentice of Darth Plagueis. He's looking for someone to train so they can overthrow Plagueis together. This idea still checks the boxes of extending life that all sith have craved. End the series with Plagueis killing them all. Then he will find Palps.
“Three Hole Punch” not sure if younger people even saw or know such a device 😂😂😂😂😂
Opening scene, guard rails 😅😂😅😂 in a sith cave 😅😂😅😂
Osha approved
First time we've seen safety rails in Star Wars??
😂
That's how we know for sure he's not Sith.
The helmet kinda has elements of the Kintsugi art form that involves repairing broken pottery with gold.
The pottery is repaired with a natural epoxy, and the gold is painted onto the surface to hide the visible crack. It's pretty, but it's for show.
My favorite Star Wars Easter Egg is when Darth Vader's mask is being lowered, the bit of metal on the forehead and between the eyes is a hard drive seek arm from old platter hard drives.
Maybe in the end maybe Ochea will ask Sol why he didn`t tell her the truth and he will say “I did, from a certain point of view”.
Sol used the same strategy in episode 3 as Quimir did in this episode.
Sabers are cool. All you gotta do is let someone hold it.
Well.. he didn't let her hold it... she took it.
@@zerolegacy7821 Yeah...He set her up well for that.
Yo Ryan, another great video. We need longer episodes so they can go in deeper for better writing but Im grateful for a star wars show that is set in high republic, just wish it would learn from the other live action star wars shows.. Oh well..
ALSO!!!
Doug is great 😂 are you saying my poops aren't what they ought to be?!? Or when he tries to pronounce something, love it.
He doesn't say often, but I do think its hilarious when Doug says "I am a dog, I am so small" 😂
"I am so very small" is one of my go-tos.
@@blairhoughton7918 love that one too 😂
I’m 90% sure the unknown island isn’t Acosta due to its lack of space puffins (Porgs)
5:20, Leslye Headland confirmed in an interview with Collider that it was a new planet, filmed on the Portuguese island of Madeira, and was meant to resemble Ahch-To.
What did you think of the episode?
I thought it was a good episode! Getting to see the Evil master be kind to Osha while the Good master was cruel to Mae was a cool twist on expectations
I liked it.
Solid episode. Feels like they stretched this season from 6 to 8 episodes
Just awful writing and acting since episode 1.
@@wolflarson71 Thank God someone who feels the same, reading all the positive comments feels like gaslighting. This show is so cringe
Thanks Ryan. I am also enjoying this. Some execution issues, for sure, but old heads are digging it!
Dude, I love your insights and references. You are my favorite breakdown show for all the franchises you cover
Always enjoy your reviews. Thanks and stay awesome!!
The real sith master is master vernestra which is why she's blaming this on sol notice how she always playing politics etc
She has a lightsaber whip , Qimir is her apprentice his scar is from a whip of a former apprentice and he's trying to find an acoltyle to help overthrow his master.
I could get behind that idea. She was a wayfinder in the High Republic and we don't know what happened to her, so maybe she could've fallen to the Dark Side after encountering a Sith!
Maybe but that would be dumb. Given the female screen writers and lesbians it’s prob her
Yes...that's great analysis 🙌🏽👍🏽🔥
I don't think she would be able to be who she is in the Jedi temple if she were a dark sider. I'm thinking she f'd up with a padawan in the past and now he's back but to just be straight up a Sith Lord leading an entire Jedi Sect... I doubt that. Then again... they're all not really the Jedi we all know anyway so who knows.
If shes a jedi master and is actively tapping into the dark side, then they are completely disregarding the original themes of good and evil that George established. These things matter
To hear someone say something positive about this show is refreshing. Ppl hate this show so much they can’t see the cinematic gold before them. They literally hate every sentence being said!
No one hates star wars more than star wars fans.
The hate makes them stronget
@@michmill7007 that needs to be on a shirt! True statement, and I once was a hater but rewatch the most recent trilogy, I grew to like it and respect the cinematography.
That because there no GOLD here.
Only bad written and bad acting, Pfft this is why Taylor swift are poplular because people like you dont even know what good cinema or good song look like.
@@theesitchaowalittawil1935 bad acting ?!? From who
My wife noticed Sol's Black gloves when he leans over the restrained Mae and got all weird about to make her listen to whatever he has been trippin' on for 16 years. I went back and found that he and other characters wore the same black gloves in a nuimber of scenes going back to the memory events on Brendok. It is interesting which scenes he does have them on or off though. The black gloves is almost as big a tell in star wars as the color of a light saber.
The cuts back n forth from Last Jedi doesn't do Acolyte any favors lol. That movie is stunning.
I’ve been huge Star Wars fan since first saw in movies at 9 yrs old! Even got my mom to take me to see it again which was pretty unusual for my parents! It was at that time, in 1977 that I decided to someday name my son Luke ( also hoped I’d have 4 sons so I could name them Luke, Mark, Han and Harrison 😂😂😂Thankfully I snapped out of that stupidity 🙄 Finally in 1995 I DID name my first son Luke though ❤️🤘🏻 ) while I do have few cherished items, I’m not at all an obsessive collector of Star Wars merch. I’ve just ALWAYS loved these films and am now enjoying how much this universe has expanded and am loving that MY Luke proudly tells people who he’s named after and is also a huge fan. I know it could’ve gone either way 😉😂
Long story LONGER - I love your channel and always forward these SW recaps to my Luke.
Sorry for babbling 🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️😉
This show has been really well written. I just hope the ending lives up to it. I’m hoping they directly tie it into the prequels and possibly indirectly into how “Palpatine returned”
you can’t be serious
@@bleyd__ It's better written and executed than Secret Invasion was. It has a few clanks here and there. But it's fine for off-brand Star Wars.
@@bleyd__ I am serious, and don’t call me Shirley
@@michaelkristoff3496 Shirley?
I absolutely love this show and your breakdowns!
I've said this before, and I'll say it again for those in the back covering their ears yelling "LA LA LA LA LA LA LA!!!!"
This entire story ties in with something Obi-Wan told Luke in Return of the Jedi: "You're going to find that many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on *our own point of view.*" There's something else, though.... Qimir may be attempting to manipulate Osha, but he isn't actually lying to her. In the Prequel Trilogy, the only lie Palpatine ever told Anakin was "in your anger, YOU killed her." Everything else he said to Anakin was the truth. Even Yoda was blinded to this fact when Dooku revealed Darth Sidious to Obi-Wan, and Yoda dismissed it as a lie. The Jedi, believing their shit didn't stink, brought forth their own downfall by refusing to see all of the threats emerge one after the other.
Qimir didn't lie to Osha, but how many lies did Sol tell her? What REALLY is the reason she left the Jedi Order? Vernestra wanted her training nixed, and she likely wasn't alone. Osha may have left on her own, but did she really have a choice, or was it "if you don't resign, you're fired" kind of a thing? Also, why do I get the feeling that Qimir is a lot older than he currently appears? Anyone think he might go through a Palpatine/Darth Sidious" transition at some point?
I expect that next week, we're going to find out what happened 16 years ago, and it's going to really put the Jedi in a bad light. "All who gain power fear to lose it, even the Jedi." And with the Jedi, they are literally the "state sanctioned guardians/enforcers of who can and can't use The Force." Remember something else Anakin said, "From MY point of view the Jedi are evil!"
No villain ever truly sees themselves as a villain. If the Jedi weren't such "gate keepers" where who can use The Force is, Qimir might not have felt threatened and (in his eyes) defend himself so vigorously. As the one Mother said early on, "This is about power, and who is allowed to use it". That is an absolute fact. But now, Mae and Osha have switched places, and are going to learn each other's side of things. I also wonder if there's some "presence" in that helmet of Qimirs... or if he will fashion some gear for her out of cortosis. That would accomplish two things: Allow her to defend herself against the Jedi (who are going to lose their shit when they find out he's been influencing her), and to sow a measure of trust between them. Granted, he pretty much offered her a measure of trust when he knew she had followed him to the watering hole, got himself nekkid, went for a swim, let her disarm him by taking his lightsaber (which, leaving with his clothes was intentional), and even offered to let her kill him. Though I don't doubt that if he truly felt threatened, he could have defended himself without the lightsaber.
Yes, I see people throwing a fit, about how "boring" this episode was, and how "shit" the series is..... but I completely disagree. We learned a good bit this episode, but some people were just too busy looking for something to bitch about, all of that was lost on them. Sucks to be THAT filled with hatred for something, that you watch it specifically to shit on it. Don't you have something better to do?
Doug is one of the best parts of every single one of these videos, and the way you incorporate him into your videos while making hilarious skits is awesome. Keep it up!❤
Kylo Ren's Theme plays when Osha is in frame
So, imagine we all of a sudden found a bunch of dead soldiers with wounds that look like they were made by swords. How many of us would say "THE VIKINGS ARE BACK"? Vikings disappeared a long time ago. They existed. They killed people. But we've never seen any. For 958 years. The last known Viking raid was 1066. So, a millennia. How many of us would immediately go to Vikings? It's like that.
If we'd spent the last thousand years worrying about the return of Vikings and basically acting like Vikings ourselves?
Your cookie monster sounds like an off brand yoda
It's because it's actually the Spicecream Monster
😂😂😂
You know Cookie Monster and Yoda were both voiced by Frank Oz originally, right?
@@jtsaxophone1Waka waka waka!
I liked the episode, I do feel like they’re dragging on this secret that sol’s been carrying and it needs to be a MASSIVE twist to live up to the hype that the show itself has created. I’m enjoying the show and breakdowns.
Amazing video once again thank you so much!
I loved the last two episodes, I feel like the show runner is being brave with the portrayal of light and dark. Reminds me of the last Jedi in some ways.
Totally!
Could you please explain what you mean by being brave with the portrayal of light and dark cause all I'm seeing is shades of grey and no light or dark... and there IS pure light and pure dark in the Star Wars universe. What I see is that the showrunner is showing they grey side of the force and not really touching on light or dark.
We’ve seen this story to many times already. We seen it in the prequels, the sequels and now shows. It’s like ok we get it, there are some Jedi who are terrible. Time to move on and show that most of the Jedi are still the heroes trying their best to keep the universe in order. My problem with modern Hollywood is they want to do away with good bs evil and instead make it about perspectives. That can work but it doesn’t need to be done in every single entertainment property. Star Wars will always be its best when it’s good vs evil, light vs dark, the Jedi vs the Sith.
Something little things I got too
Qimir clothes are very similar to Darth Maul's.
The shot where Qimir swims in the green water lake, reminded me of Enemy Mine, that awesome film from Wolfgang Petersen.
Enemy Mine rules! One of my favorite movies.
Darth Venamis was a prospective Sith Lord of the lineage of Darth Bane.
Tenebrous trained Venamis in violation of the Rule of Two, since he had another apprentice, Darth Plagueis. Despite Venamis's use of the Sith title, Darth, it was not legitimately bestowed upon him.
After Tenebrous died on Bal'demnic at the hands of Plagueis in 67 BBY, the latter discovered that Venamis kept a list of certain Force-sensitive beings as potential apprentices of his own
4D kept the comatose Venamis alive to manipulate and study. Around the year 42 BBY, Venamis was eventually allowed to die by Plagueis, his usefulness finally fulfilled. Afterwards, he was resurrected and killed again and again in the presence of 11-4D, as well as Plagueis's apprentice, Darth Sidious, until Venamis' organs finally ceased to function and Plagueis finally allowed the him to die for the final time.
Great Vid! More Doug!!! LOVE IT!!
I compared the shot of the island zooming out during before the opening crawl, compared to the scenes where Osha met Qimir during the ending of Episode 1. They met right outside where Qimie's cave is. And it is the Same planet and place
Thanks for the quick and thorough breakdowns boys
