Best line exchange was Sol and Qmir
"She was a Child"
"You brought her here"
100% showing the Jedi contradicting themselves . Best line of the episode! 👏
The best line was Sol and Qmir
"Why risk discovery?"
"well, I did wear a mask" LMAO
@jean-pierre5221 having not seen past episode 3 I can't tell if this is satire or not after what's been said in those 3 episodes that was just cringe.
Best line ever. Show went from 0/10 to 1/10
I liked how Jecki a child padawan dominated the fight one-on-one while multiple seasoned Jedi knights couldn't in a 5 v 1
"Who are you?"
"I am Sith."
"Sith who?"
"Sith.....solo"
"No Sith, Sherlock!"😉
“Who are you?”
“I am Sith.”
“Buddy you got your letters mixed up, it’s spelled Shit, not Sith. Cause that’s what you are.”
“I know. 😔”
Sith. Agent Sith
Sith Skywalker.
Cait Sith
Osha & Mae are textbook examples of an Idiot Plot. This whole show wouldn't exist if they just talked for 5 minutes in earnest.
you think they can write a conversation that lasts 5 minutes?
Martha?
those 2 have no idea what they are doing. i doubt them talking would have solved anything at all
There's literally people on Twitter saying they didn't see the villain reveal coming like omg, you are the target audience my God.
"people on twitter"
@@_ripVanWinkle_ yea I wouldn't believe it either but here we are in a reality where there are people who watched the first few episodes and were actually surprised that qmir was the cortosis gimp.
You mean the bot and paid actors?
“The power of many” gag joke is the best thing to come out of this. 😂
i thought it was another feminist protest
I laugh everytime lol
The breathing afterwards is what kills me 😂😂 I love that even Alex succumbed to it lol
Even with the cringy parts this show is better than Ashoka , book of boba fett, and kenobi.
This show makes me want to see a more In the high republic but better made, imagine this setting but done by the people who did andor.
@TheVisualDigitalArts Really my dude?
I also liked the way Mae literally watched the jedi saving her from the Sith multiple times. Sol even throwing his weapon away when the Sith had a saber to Mae's head. And then STILL says the Jedi are evil in the next scene when talking to her sister.......
Not like we haven’t set up a flash back to what really happened as kids or anything….
@@pain2573horrible writing 0/10
@@pain2573 My point is the lack of consistency. Even if there is something in her past to cause her to dislike jedi the fact they are defending her right then, even dying should give her pause to reflect. But it doesnt because its terrible writing and character development and at odds with whats being shown
@@iansmith3765sounds like you’re for inconsistency? You may not think her past and what really happened that night should matter but clearly that’s been her whole motivation in the story. We can’t just drop that because the Jedi are being heroic
Maybe we should find out what happened before assuming this character who has basically always hated Jedi and has a reason to not trust them flips to their side?
@@pain2573 anything to shill for Disney Star Wars "stories" eh? Appreciate the grind you are on, keep it going :)
Jecki was the only Jedi who fought like a Knight or Master. She was the only one who put up a mild challenge and thought to knock his helmet off without letting her blade touch it.
She was Mace Windu, and all the other Jedi were the guys who forgot their training against Palpatine.
Well yea that’s what happens when you get a more high profile name than canon fodder
Isn't she lower on the totem pole in terms of Jedi ranking as well?
@@chaddieladdie6312
She is. But only viewers know that. The writers apparently didn't know.
Jecki bae, but Qimir slay
She did way better than Yord, which makes no sense seeing he's supposed to be a Jedi knight
I didn’t get Smilo saying he’s doesn’t have to follow Rules, that’s what Jedi do, but…don’t the Sith literally have a rule called THE RULE OF 2?
He is probably not a Sith
He could be a dark force user without following the sith creed
"The code is more what you call guidelines than actual rules" by Gandhi...probably...
The rule of two is often broken by Sith in one shape or form, usually by a master who holds back on fully training an apprentice. Palpatine had 2 apprentices at the same time: Darth Maul & Darth Tyrranus. He then decided to become the only sith through Ethernal order. Darth Tenebrous had two apprentices as well: Darth Venamis and Darth Plagueis.
@@RM1969RMI was about to say this lol
It's so clear Disney's chopping these shows into smaller chunks to add a subscription cycle.
Osha standing by watching ‘I’m something of a Sith myself’ guy kill multiple Jedi before she even bothered to pull out her blaster to help was wonderful, real team player there.
Then she STOPS Sol from killing him...like why? That part made me so mad. The show could've been over this episode if not for that.
To be fair, i would have been shocked as hell in her position. Shooting at someone who killed several jedi in front of you seems like a bad move
Lets be real, Osha wasn’t stopping a damn thing
She basically witnessed Smilo kill her two love interests Dork and Jeki and then saves Smilo from the death sentence he deserved. She did nothing but save the bad guy.
OSHA violation
"Anakin blew up the death star..."
*snaps neck*
THANK YOU!
Anyone seeing the irony in "the power of many" failing against "the power of one?"
Democracy is hard.
Darth Gains snapping necks and showing how to kill Jedis without a weapon.
Uhh. Technically his hands were the weapon. ✌️🤓
Lethal Weapon movie. He is the weapon lol
Darth Gains lol
His biceps has the power of many!
i hope "Darth Gains" sticks, it's great
Alex last week: Everyone is going to die. Me: No way, stupid Alex. Today: Oops...well NOT EVERYONE DIED.
They kinda have no choice as this leads directly into episode 1 Jedi not knowing about the Sith.
Wrote themselves into a corner.
@@Revenant-oq9ts and this is why the whole thing is stupid,they wrote a fight from end to start...
Everyone has to die surely. I just will hate Ki Adi Mundi just as much as those clones if Sol TOLD HIM about how a possible Sith corrupted someone into murdering multiple Jedi and told him that he’s planning to continue to do it and hes just never gonna mention it to Mace Windu or YODA WHO SHOULD BE THERE AND NOT FUCKING BUTLINS FOR SOME REASON
@@ppsarrakis why are you acting like end to start is a new thing for star wars
Bruh George Lucas made mundi say that in ep 1. U can't be mad at fanfic disney who hire writers who aren't true star wars fans like it's George's fault.
Cortosis metal and weave (cloth) existed as far back, thousands of years prior, in the Old Republic. It was used to make Vibroblades and Vibroswords specifically so non-jedi could engage force users that had lightsabers. Lightsabers cannot pass through cortosis, so the blade could be parried / blocked (there are extensive codex entries in Kotor 1 and Kotor 2 about it). Cortosis was also be added to some armors for protection against sabers, and was even made into a weave material to make saber-resistant cloth.
Yeah would be useful if that was mentioned in the episode. You know, assuming the episodes had good writing
The person playing OSHA can not act to save her life.
Racist!
@@raphk9599Nobody cares she's black.
I thought the person playing MAE did a worse job at acting.
Isnt it the actor who plays osha the one who made that cringe rap video towards racism?
@@angeloluna529 yes
Smilo Ren: You can't kill a Jedi with a weapon... *flexes biceps*
The hair cutting scene made me gasp from second hand cringe.
I really thought she was about to cut her own head off
@@redsoxfoxI wish
It was kind of cool. Jedi could be the barbers of the galaxy, shaving Sith for free.
imagine the smell
@@csibesz07 imagine the layering you can do with sabers lol..
this is a perfect example of Stockholm syndrome... where you are starved of proper sustanence.. and finally when you get a piece of bread you are so thankful to the person who provided you that piece of bread.
Smilo Ren, easily defeats 6+ Jedi Knights.
Pretty much easily toys with Sol, and bests him one on one with a lightsaber.
Struggles to handle a 5ft tiny padawan.
Yeah, no hidden agenda there....
Just have a Sith that can take down 6+ Jedi Knights, toys with a Jedi Master.... but that darn tiny padawan.... nope can't dominate her until the plot decides he needs a cool face reveal.
Hot take: Fight choreography and special effects are useless when we have no reason to care about the characters.
Literally what George said
Choreography wasnt good on most of the fights.
The saber effects are like fluorescent strip lights instead of weapons. They look shit in this.
I was just about to say that
And every scene is overly dark so they get that reflected glow.
They tripled tapped Jeckie with the light saber to make sure she’s dead. 😅
Mozambique drilled her lol
You got to do that now. A single 4 inch diameter hole burning through your guts just don’t kill like it used to.
Disney def makes sure their white actors/actresses are perma dead.
@@meinauto9048 Neither does the Death Star exploding kill the Emperor either anymore.
Inevitably, they will have to one up themselves and have a character survive something like this. Lazy writing and the desire to subvert expectation for no reason shall not be thwarted by logic!
I'm waiting for the day someone survives being sliced in half.
We got robbed of seeing a wookie running around with a lightsaber. Let that sink in.
NO JEDI MASTER WOULD BE FOOLED BY A B.S. HAIRCUT. THAT WOULD BE SINGED HORRIBLE. I mean c mon wtf, and this chick switching sides like twice in an hr of time in the show is insanity. Also NO STOP dont execute him , let me think the bugs will do it.... WHY WHHYYYY!!!!!
Plus Osha was his Padawan at one point. He would have known the difference.
Jedis don't kill bud
@englishboy993 Sure they do.
@@silver4831 Nope, it's against the rules. Or else they'll be tapping into the sith
@englishboy993 Then why does Obi kill maul? (Or at least tries to) and the whole clone wars and before that during the high and old Republic.
This they can't kill nonsense is pushed by disney, they are meant to be honor bound samurai who very much killed.
Joe: “I don’t care about osha”
Me: seems like joe is fostering an unsafe work environment…
You should have seen the episode where Corporate Commander was shot 87 times.
I hear as if its that every time they say it lol
No Sol, stop, don’t kill him…..I’ve got a plan to attach a light to his back so these bug monsters who we know can be easily killed by lightsabers will carry him off and kill him for us….Some of the dumbest writing ever!!!😂
Getting killed with a lightsaber would be the preferred method of death for the Sith guy %100 lmao. Now he will be known as Darth.....Gnat...
Not really… it was a direct reference to Revenge of the Sith opening scene where Anakin kills unarmed Dooku to set the stage of his fall to the dark side.
No dont kill him ! Let those weird bugs do the job for us, that way we wont look evil... Right ?
@@billD.Boomer Yeah I get it calls back to Dooku and when Palpatine tempted Luke to strike him down. But this just reeks of lazy writing that’s akin to horror movie tropes of, well we killed the bad guy, let’s just leave his body here next to his weapon, won’t ever see him again 😆
@@billD.Boomer Quimir isn't a defenceless opponent who's been beaten and disarmed, he's an active threat about to go another round. Maybe if Yord had actually managed to land that blow on his arm before being killed it'd work better.
The true weakness of this show is the sisters. Without them, there's potential, but they and the actress' inability to act ruin the project.
True. What are they even there?
Their acting is so baaaad
I dont watch the show, but I was curious about this lightsaber fight, so I gave it a shot and fast forwarded the talking part, for the short time I watched, this actress was already annoying me lol
I cant believe this show was so bad that it got people to think barely visible lightsaber battles were suddenly cool
Just consequent. The same happens to other movies. Because most are not good the average are seen as good to peak.
bot
This
Barely visible is crazy
Lol Screen Rant let out an article saying that the saber fight was amazing and that fans bashed the show too early with how this episode was successful.
The bar is not set high.
*"The best episode so far?"* Me: "Oh, so the show is getting good?" *Sees the EPIC FAIL tag in the thumbnail.* "Well never mind."
More like least bad episode
If it was cringey dance light sabre battles like in the sequels and more martial arts type sabre fighting it would be awful. It was proper swashbuckling fighting for once. And then the actors opened their mouths.
It was pretty good, though. It wasn't perfect. Don't let these overacting clowns decide for you.
@@firstlast-wm3li you can’t genuinely tell me y thought that was good the script SUCKS and the acting/filming (other then some parts of the duel) is even WORSE
@@MDestroyerX Writing not so much. The fights were 👌🔥 And Lee Jung-Jae and Manny Jacinto are fantastic actors for their roles. If you don't agree, you can pound sand!
Wookieepedia lists Qimir as "The Stranger" Affiliation: Sith. His write up also calls him a Sith Lord 😂
Im crying at Oj, ALex and Joe panting and making the chanting sounds haha, got me good
I will never get tired of them doing the "power of many"😂😂
"what's going on with the story?"
BRO...THERE IS NO STORY!
It's just a bunch of "cool" moments stitched together...
(well...actually...what they THINK are "cool" moments) :DD
Anybody else notice that the trees fell backwards? They were sliced at a 45 degree angle and fell toward the higher side...That's not how physics works.
Its the force, it defies physics. Just like when space horses ride on star destroyers in space without air.
This gives me the same vibes as "thats not how the froce works!"
This show is basically the equivalent of that horrific kid Leia chase scene from Obi Wan stretched out.
I burst out laughing regarding social media comparing this episode to red wedding.
or comparing this to the prequel levels of lightsaber duels xD xD xD
I swear the SW casual fans are getting dumber and dumber each ticking day
lmfao. Red Wedding was the Red Wedding bc it was good characters we cared about after multiple seasons of being main characters
From a Disney perspective, I mean. And lightsabers killed ppl!
😂😂
you had to remind me the very moment when GOT started to unwind...
Alex brings up a great point, Jedi trained to avoid the rising of a sith, so sith faded into myth. Can you imagine a jedi running into something that you heard so much bad about, but to an extent faded from your belief because you had never seen or encountered one. Now you are face to face with a great evil that at one point or another you probably questioned their existence.
That should honestly be a super intimidating moment that I imagine only a truly seasoned jedi would have the resolve to face without their emotions being hindered.
Would have been a much more interesting plot and character development. Like, "oh shit the legends / old wives tales are true. Am I ready for this? Am I worthy
? Etcetc"
Makes you wonder why they even use sabers anymore. Would space police not use a stun blaster or something.
@@bigdreams5554well to be fair, neither Qui Gon or Obi Wan freaked out when they encountered Maul. They trusted their training, and didn't really consider it that much of a threat. They were wrong. But they mostly just wanted to find out his identity and who trained him. Of course by the time they did, it was too late.
Makes me think of a mix of grievous’s debut with Ki-Adi, Shaak Ti, and that padawan that looks like Shaggy who cracks and runs out and gets killed with Halloween 2018 when Allyson sees Michael for the first time. And it makes it that much more frustrating
I think this is what makes the Jedi great heroes if you write them correctly, they fight against themselves to avoid using the dark side by instinct.
My question is where is Sol? So much of the episode he's just gone. The 4 mooks get killed where is Sol? Qmir runs back to the house after their little fight where is Sol? Jekie charges after Qmir and gets killed where is Sol? Yor attacks Qmir gets killed where is Sol? Sol only ever gets to do something when he can't change the outcome or save anyone. Qmir killed 8 Jedi and you have no chance of capturing him YOU KILL HIM you don't listen to an ex-Padawan and then just let him get away after being attacked by some bugs. And then there is Osha makes everything worse she gets herself captured and Yor killed just so she can SAVE Qmir while trying to get him eaten by bugs nothing in this episode makes any sense I think it's the worst episode so far because at least the other episodes could go to better places but with this episode things can only get even more stupid.
4:15 brooo Ryan vs Dorkman!!! Memory unlocked, those were so epic!! TH-cam was so good back then.
I’m just glad they actually killed off some main characters instead of just the no name Jedi lol.
Obi wan: it’s over anakin i have the high ground!!!
Anakin: you underestimate my power!!
Obi wan: don’t try it!
Anakin: Floats
Obi wan: What in the Bloody hell….
Anakin : you don't understand master. Before order 66 master mundi told me a story about a sith 80 years ago that could float, so I learned it too.
Obi wan : curse that bluddy mundi
The power of Aniiiiiii
Star War Theory?
The Osha/Mae switch was weird af. Osha was just talking about her twin was all that mattered to her, so you knock her out and leave her on the planet. That makes no sense.
It’s super funny that house of the dragon just had an episode where twins switching places is portrayed as the stupidest thing ever
Osha was so freaking idiotic stopping Sol from decapitating Smilo. The shills try to say it is to prevent him from going to the dark side which is ridiculous as Sol literally witnessed Smilo kill all his Jedi friends so to let Smilo live would be a dereliction of duty. It would be like saying Obi-Wan will turn to the dark side for killing Maul. Osha basically did to Sol, what Anakin did to Mace Windu. The twins being all over in their motivations and morals really is trash writing. Also, the real kicker was that they tried to setup this Love Triangle between Dork and Jeki and so if that's the case...Osha didn't seem too heart broken or conflicted that both her love interests just got murdered by the guy she saved from execution.
Mae goes from heel to babyface back to heel more times than the Big Show.
Jeckie went from barely swinging a practice stick in training to holding her own against someone who just slaughtered a whole group of Jedi
How much you wanna bet kymere wants a girlfriend. Not an acolyte.
Gotta give credit where credit is due…the light saber fights were sick and I’m glad they had the balls to kill those characters. The writing and character development was still shit.
Interesting that you could see it in the dark and behind the trees. It’s ok at best for me
Especially glad to see that dumb as f@$k Mr Anakin Blew Up The Death Star/There's No Good Vs Evil In Star Wars Clown go.
Considering the budget you’d think they could afford better lighting so we could see wtf was going on.
Hate the show, but ENJOYED the killing. The twins are as interesting as Kimiko and Frenchie.
The most criminal thing is that I actually cheered when sith slaughtered Jedi, that how much I cared about those characters. Even if I found Jackie fighting cool it was at the same time so stupid that padawan went head to head with sith when more experienced Jedi Knights went like a whimps few sec before. Maybe next time establish first that she is some kind of a prodigy or something. make it make sense Disney.
13:32
The "Sith" is using Dark Helmet's helmet
Hmm made sense if it was made outbof cortosis. By the way sabers react to it i asume it was
Just a reminder Godzilla minus one had a budget of only 15 million dollars.
The Witches spoiled Smilo Ren:
- The power of Manny!
I was thinking to myself the whole episode ' they're gonna do the fucking Parent Trap!' So disappointed that I was right. This series was written by a gradeschooler.
I was thinking that like in the first or second ep, this whole story line with the twins been done so many times it's not original at all.
too bad the Sith didn't turn out to be two Bazils in a trench coat
Or three Yodas.
Helmet blocks mindreading but Smylo can get to their heads, no-one is proofreading scripts.
+ In earlier episodes there should have been a line or something like: Sol says to Osha: "Jecki is almost as good with lightsaber as I am."
If she can go against a sith, you need to establish power levels. She twirled around with a stick around other younglings.
Why doesnt the lightsaber make sparks or smoke when cutting/stabbing people...?
I just hate when cool shit is wasted in a show or film where everything else is regular shit.
I've come to the conclusion that in Disney Star Wars a lightsaber blade is made of glowing pudding.
Honestly if OSHA, Mae, and the Sisters were not in this show it would be so much better lol
You can put diamonds on shit but in the end of the day it’s still shit
and the diamonds would still be diamonds just with a bit of shit on them, the phrase is you cant polish a turd as its still a turd
Yeah... I'd take a diamond covered in shit please. A quick clean will solve that problem.
@@MisterCasketyou're not understanding. The diamonds are the one fight, the shit is the entire story.
Shiny turd?! 😂
This isn't about the show. This about Kathleen Kennedy. Star Wars has never had great writing. The character Darth Maul in my opinion lazy writing.
I would have enjoyed the fight, if Sol didnt mysteriously disappear for 30 mins at the start of it and if Jecki didnt perform leagues above every other Jedi including her master and including 5-6 jedi at once vs Qimir, not to mention Qimir taking the person he WANTS to kill as hostage and Sol dropping his weapon because of it, it's just all sooooo bad.
sooooooooooo bad
I love how obvious the major flaws of the episode are. I was shocked a mere padawan handled a skilled dark jedi who just overcame a fight with 5-6 active and trained opponents. No explanation provided, of course. I guess Jecki is a student prodigy, but they didn't even bother to flesh that out.
He....didn't want to kill Osha. Most of those Padawan have never been in a fight, so yeah.
@majorharlock5304 who are you arguing with, jecki is the Padawan, the other 5 or 6 were knights, meaning they had far more training and had passed the trials. Also he took Mae hostage not osha. He did want to kill Mae.
@@programmedgamer7101 ikr this show is so shit, it reminds me of how obiwan defeated a trained sith lord when he was only a padawan after his master died to that very sith lord
I have a sinking suspicion these aren’t going to be Sith but Knights of Ren and that’ll be the explanation of Sith not being seen. But who knows I’m probably giving them too much credit
My theory is that Mae & Osha are the same person, and "the cutting of the hair" moment was just a more overt hint at her switching between her two split personalities. One of them actually died back at the temple, and this split-personality disorder is related to why she was dismissed from the Jedi temple in the first place. This would require greatly dialing up the idea of the unreliable narrator, which the show already keeps hinting at, and that the writers are intentionally including many red herrings and non-linear events. This would explain a lot of the oddities in their behavior, how they communicate with one another, and the bizarre force vision where Osha is following the younger version of her sister.
Or it's just bad writing.
Just remember they claimed the Lightsaber Fights in this beat the Prequels.
To be fair this episodes fights are.....how good was Palpatines fight against Mace and the 3 jedi masters? Utter fucking hot garbage, the Maul fight was very good the rest are Ok
@@___Snake___ all of them except maces fight were good even still the scene was more for setting up plot point rather that pure spectacle.
@@Blanktester685Yoda vs Dooku, Dooku vs Sidious, Obi-Wan vs Greivous, Anakin vs Dooku, Dooku vs Anakin and Obi-Wan. None of those fights were anything special. The choreography in this episode is definitely better than pretty much every fight barring Maul vs Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan and Anakin vs Obi-Wan.
@@___Snake___ That scene is legendary, it wasn't even him fighting in his full potential, at the time that was the best the tech could do it was supposed to convey how inhumanly fast they all were moving. If you slow it down though you can see the "Mistakes" with ians head looking weird, but it really is just the tech at the time.
What do you mean by it being hot garbage? I would assume the CGI right? Cause yea that shit looks garbage nowadays. If I'm mistaken though it was like revolutionary at the time, like he created new tech for that movie. idk maybe I'm thinking of episode 1 or 2.
@@OneRandomVictory Brother they literally take turns fighting.
Following the Sith killing all of the Jedi, Sol had his lightsaber up to Sith Guy’s neck and did not take advantage of the opportunity to behead the Sith.
"Jedi Shish Kebab" was not something I expected to see today.
Jackie being so strong is fine, don't forget Obi-Wan was a Palawan when he killed beat maul
I've been waiting for this one!
So Mae went from: "I'm gonna kill my sister and the Jedi!" Then (out of no where) to: "My loyalties lie with my sister! I'm gonna turn myself in!" Then (out of no where again) to: "I'm gonna betray my sister again, steal her clothes, and leave her to rot on this jungle planet only to be kidnaped by the Sith dude." Also, Sol(or however you spell his name, I don't give a flying shit enough to check) should have naturally sensed that it was Mae in disguise, and not Osha. And if Mae goes on to be around other Jedi whilst in disguise, and she STILL doesn't get sensed, that's gonna piss people off and I can't wait for it haha!
Ok, credit where credit is due: the fighting was pretty good. Jeke put up the best fight. Her and Yord's death was brutal. I found it funny that Sith dude stabbed Jeke 3 times like as if he watched other Disney Star Wars trash and wanted to make damn sure that Jeke wouldn't survive.
But like a few minutes in and the Sith dude is.....breaking Light Saber blades?? With his arm and helmet??? UuuUuuMMmmM W U T???? I mean, I can see it being deflected if its made of Beskar, but totally breaking the saber beam??
Oh ya, the Sith using Force Heal is complete dog shit. Force Heal is only useable by Light Side users or REALLY POWERFUL Dark Side users, not just any sith person can use it. Disney is just using the Force Heal to explain how Rey was able to use it like, "See everyone, Force Heal is a thing!"
But soooo what's the plan now? I feel like the story should have ended here. There were plenty of opportunities for the Sith dude to die. Kill him, Sol lives on to cover up the "Sith" appearance, Mae is captured and put in prison, Osha is released and goes on about her life. End of story. That should've been the way it ended, but it didn't so what do now? Is Mae really gonna try to infiltrate Corascant or something? There's no way. Is Sith dude gonna take Osha as her apprentice? Is Osha gonna turn to the Dark Side? What the fuck is going on??
This series' sole purpose is to make the Jedi look as dumb, immoral, and as incompetent as humanly possible.
i think his helmet and arm guard are made of cortosis, which does have the property to temporarily shut down sabers blades when contact is made.
Qimir's helmet and bracers are made of Cortosis, a material that can not only resist lightsaber hits but also redirect energy. He used this not to "break the beams", but to short curcuit the lighsabers themselves and that's why they stopped functioning. I agree with pretty much all your other points though.
"This series' sole purpose is to make the Jedi look as dumb, immoral, and as incompetent as humanly possible." nailed it
I just assume the sith armor is made of cortosis which I dont think we have seen in any star wars thing outside of books. I also hate that they keep bringing back force healing.
disney is telling me that everyone forgot that force healing existed between acolyte and episode 9? I assume they're gonna do some bs where it did exist they just didn't show it on screen
I hate how a dark side user can heal others, that should be a jedi ability. Darksider are selfish power hungry monster (like the maker of this show lol) so it doesn't make sense in my mind
“You get to die, you get to die, everyone gets to die!”
So all the Jedi will be dead and… nobody in the council will care or investigate about all these Jedi missing?
It was the smelly group, no one liked them and were just glad they were never seen again I guess?
The power of many
Definitely a shit show but I'm just glad that The Stranger wasn't some lame bitch of a villain. He was kicking ass and the Cortosis Moves were pretty sick. SHOW STILL BLOWS. But at least we got to see him pop off
50:07 - "He de-armed and de-feeted him!" Lmao. What a great line.
Badass light saber fights can't save a non-existent story with characters nobody gives a shit about.
the events unfolds so badly that I will forget everything in the next scene, just like most ads, especially car ads
The dark side user cut through 4 or 5 jedi master's with ease but a padowan held there own for longer than the jedi master's, this show's how bollocks Disney Star Wars has become
This is what is going to happen.
Sole contacts green skin lady, she tells him not to tell anyone, she comes over, itls reveled she's the evil master and she kills cole
That would make sense of this sht😂
She’s gonna kill Ser Criston Cole? Damn spoilers
Who cares 😂
@@awesomness36I’m fine with this.
I would put money on this comment. It will probably end just like that
6/10 is far too generous for this slop
It's criminal lol. Criminal!
That's what 2 free points for nothing will do.
This show has done nothing to deserve those extra points. Slop is slop.
Both May and Osha could be omitted as Sol is clearly the protagonist.
Other Joe: 4
Alex: 5
Angry Joe: 6
I dont think the writers realize how easy hair burns.
They should have killed her off at that moment 😂
I don't know why the writers made her cut her hair. She could just turn herself in like she planned to and escape safely together with her sister. >_>
The writers obviously know more star wars than you, jedi cut their padawan braids with their sabers, its been seen in the clone wars...We've seen Yoda do it
@@seb8905Because Mae isn't just trying to escape, she wants revenge on Sol. She decided to turn herself in because she thought her quest for vengeance was over when she thought her and her sister could have a relationship, but in this episode she realized her sister is too far gone due to Jedi "brainwashing" as she says and realizes Osha is a lost cause, and she realizes the Jedi *did* take her sister away even if she is alive, meaning she still needs to exact vengeance. The execution should be better but the core narrative does make sense in that regard
@prolastmedia6171 That's real silly. Not you but the awful story.
Not only was Ryan vs Dorkman better lightsaber fights than The Acolyte, it had better writing too. The stories were more believable.
Regarding Mae not surrendering herself to… uh… dead alien girl, Mae’s plan was to surrender in the hope that she could escape her master and reconnect with her sister. Now that she’s been discovered, the calculations have changed and she needs to GTFO ASAP. Surrendering to the Jedi would’ve been a death sentence by her master, as we saw when he tried to kill her while she was cuffed.
TLDR - Cool moments in an otherwise shitty show.
Perfectly sums it up.
I'll give them props for having the balls to kill main characters and Jekki was definitely a highlight, I'm happy she got some good hits in. The Sol and Smilo fist fight was cool too and I'll give the line "well I wore a mask" a point as well because it made me chuckle because of how goofy it was. But no matter how many good fights there are it can't save the really subpar writing
Who would have guessed the most powerful person on the show is the padawan in training 😂
If Yord Fander is any indication, John Boyega should stay far away from Star Wara.
acolyte is a money laundry machine for hollywood
Only comment that is actually tuned to how their shekel schemes continue. Check that early life.
I already canceled my subscription.
Legendary move because Acolyte is a bag of shyte.
Like Disney *it does exactly what it says on the tin*
Yup same I already did. Gonna encourage my family to do the same when we get do a get together with the whole fam this Sunday
No need to waste money on subscriptions just get it off of torrent site
I can't even bring myself to pirate this crap
the saber battle in this is one of the best in the canon series. It feels like the second its over and it does that misplaced cut it goes right bad to so bad its funny
Edit: The sith are a myth to the modern jedi. Falling to the dark does not automatically mean sith. The sith are a very specific line of dark side users where an apprentice trains to kill thier master making them progressively stronger and stronger.
and if Mae was arrested in that moment, while i agree with the sentiment she shouldve said something. She wouldve been defenseless against her master
One thing I haven't seen many people talk about is the line Sol says to Qimir after he said he was possibly Sith which is "Why risk being exposed?". Qimir responds in jest saying "Well... I wore a mask.." BUT the more interesting thing about this exchange is what Sol said. Which would mean Sol and possibly the Jedi KNEW the Sith were always still around and just actively in hiding.
The look on Alex's face says "I'd rather be at the Dentist's office getting a root canal with no painkillers than watch anymore of this shit show". Thanks for watching it so I don't have to. Alex deserves combat pay for this one.
As much as I despise this show and its writing, the choreography was insane this episode loved how brutal it was. Crazy it took 5 episodes but also, goes to show how bad the series is when all these Jedi died and you just didn’t care. I was cheering for Smilo Ren to clean house.
Yup, fight scenes have nothing to do with good writing, so I guess that's why.
@@raphk9599 no way 😱
Not only was Osha injured there, but she was wearing Mae’s clothes. Which makes that perfect rip even more coincidently funny.
That episode was absolute fire! The combat scene was peak Star Wars. Better duels than what we've seen on the Obi-Wan an Ashoka series that's for sure.
The best sh!t sandwich I've had so far
*it does exactly what it says on the tin*
Which is, Acolyte is a bag of shyte.
😂😂
There's MUSTARD on this one!
The only thing good is the fights and choreography, but the bar is not that high. It just means it's the least bad in that one big pile of shit.
This is shaping up to be that young Smilo was present at the coven massacre, thus knows which jedi to target, and is using Mae in his plot for revenge. Its also possible that he answers to one of the witch mothers that survived.
Jecki's fight would have been good, but then you realize she's a Padawan and a bunch of Jedi masters just died in a flash.
On the surface it puts Smilo Ren in the same realm of Darth Sidius who killed multiple masters in a flash.
People acting like this show is good now cause of one episode 😂
shit is insane. Fight was mid af except in a few places. Best fight of Disney Star Wars does not mean much, AT ALL..
Can't even enjoy a good lightsaber battle now? Show is either 100% crap or 100% awesome? Can't enjoy a small win? We reviewing the book after each chapter instead of after reading the whole thing?
They are just glad the most annoying side characters died. It adds to the bad writing.
The fight was terrible. Haven’t watched any of the episodes with how woke people have said. I just opened up the Disney+ app on my phone, clicked acolyte episode 5, skipped to the fight scenes and man was that lame af.
@@Starset1881the fights were good.
It’s funny to see how HOTD did the twin scene compared to this show. Otto literally called the king an idiot and the writers knew it was a lame idea. The writers of this show think it’s a smart idea.
At least HOTD made it believable even having Errik see Arrik walking around without his helmet and so he drops his to blend better. This was just dumb not only did she perfectly cut her hair to match but apparently her hair doesn't catch fire or have a burnt smell to it
@Crusader143d wth? That's just blatantly racist.
Man, so good Joe mentioning "Ryan vs Dorkman", that is one of the best lightsaber duels ever. For anyone that haven't seen it before, definitely recommended, together with "Ryan vs Dorkman 2" and "Ryan vs Brandon".
