What lingering question do you need this finale to answer more than any other question?
I'm sure we'll only get very mature responses here lol
Did Koril enter Sol to make him into a Jekyll and Hyde-style Sith lord? Has he been Qimir's master this whole time in a Fight Club way?
How this cost 180 millon dollars? And what kind of writers they hired?
Id actually like to see Jekki and Yord mentioned. Sols lost his padawan and hasn't grieved yet. Yords padawan to make an appearance too.
I think we'll see how the Jedi cover this all up and how everyone looks uncomfortable with that.
Every time I hear "my mind is fortified" I think of Wong.....
Somehow, Episode 3 returned
Haahahaahhaahhh
"mild grumblings"
We all knew it was coming lol
Good one
😂
I noticed two things with this episode.
1. I'm glad to see more of Carrie-Ann Moss
2. I am left to wonder if Sol will ever get to finish a sentence without a cliffhang
Fr He's always like "I will tell You! You will listen!" And then it happens off screen 😂
This is what star wars is now. Being glad to see an actor that you liked from another film
1. Isn’t noticing anything
i noticed how real the speeder bikes looked. and the VFX is so2024! 😬😬
Fr
Sol had some greenery in his hand at the beginning of the episode.
He was carryin moss 😂😂
I audibly snorted at this. Well done.
😂😂😂
Bruh😂😂😂
😆😆😆😆😆
Lol!!!😂
26:00 Dude, Trinity just unplugged the witches minds from the Matrix and they died, just like Switch and the others.
Trinity proves the power of one is greater than the power of two and even the power of maannnnnyyyyyy
"Not like this!"
Winner😂
@@BoomSlang001 Classic!
🤔
watching this episode the other night I busted out laughing when Mother Koril told Torbin, "Not youuu". I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought that delivery was hilarious haha
23:49
It was really good
Me too! Bahahah I was saying it all night! “NOT YOUUU!” 😂😂😂
Don’t worry. The George Lucas fans have been laughing for all 7 episodes.
Yes!!! I thought that was so funny 😂
@@chefref5027 7 episodes? which of the originals did you include laughable? haha
It'll end with Darth Jar Jar chuckling from the shadows "He He HE exactly as mesa designedsah"
That would be the only Episode I may enjoy 😂
Immediately makes this series a 10/10 😂
Dude, you were right about someone in the shadows
@@natedog143 He was!!!
I love that no matter what time, what galaxy, a low tech metal detector is used by all.
Yes it's one of Universal items ^^ Good stuff 🙂
The star wars universe has always used props that were made from real world stuff.
@@jasenjacobs1365This wasn't a prop "made from" real world stuff. It looks like they just got a metal detector and used it as a metal detector, with no apparent or visible alterations. 😂
@@peterphan227 yes. That was my point. 😂
Does it mean that medichlorians contain a lot of metal?
I had more questions than answers after this episode lol
What questions did you have?
@@lastshadow8680 Why am I watching episode 3 again?
I was so irritated after this one
@@FreshLyte Obi-Wan: What I told you was true, from a certain point of view.
@@davidchism6081 You get it.
You know Sol. Instead of trying to hold up the metal bridge, you could probably have just used the Force to grab the girls and pull them to safety. Two 10 year old girls is going to weigh a lot less than two halves of a metal walkway.
the two haves were still techically being held up by the other side so it would have probably been lighter as well.
Not to mention: if he's holding each side of the bridges up then he's also holding the girls up as well. He 1000% would have been able to lift the girls if the writing was even partially coherent.
😂😂😂
80lbs each at most lmao vs a ton bridge
The girls could've also done something besides yell each other's name
I found out what the wookie was doing with the metal detector, apparently he was looking for the plot 😂
UNDERRATED
Indara hit Sol with that: I give advice that electrify them, you give advice that pacify them
"THERE ARE CONSEQUENCES TO BREAKING THE RULES!" Koril said lovingly.
Eventually the bill comes due.
Ahh... Gotta love when a cult, considers another cult, too culty.
That’s modern day religion for ya
I swear
Qimir, or “Qamar” means Moon in Arabic. Therefore, an opposite of Sol; meaning Sun. I think Qimir is a force projection of Sol’s intention and desperation to want a pupil with Osha. I might be reaching, but it’s a strong possibility.
Khofar could be another language play as Khuffar in Arabic means infidels or unbelievers.
Jedi's rule for not forming attachments has always been their downfall.
I mean Sol messed up specifically because he formed an emotional attachment. He would have done well to follow the rule here.
True. That's why it's hard being a Jedi
Episodes 3 and 7 are not just two sides of the same story, the two episodes synch up multiple times in multiple places in very interesting and clue-revealing ways. Start and both episodes at the same time and watch them next to each other. Especially check out 12:45 to 13:45 both episodes side by side.
"it was as if millions of people cried out at the same time" why are you holding the bridge? Force pull / grab the girls! ""
Don't think about it, turn your brain off
split decision my dude, none of use truly know what we would do until we are in the adrenaline pumping heart racing in the moment type of scenario
@@hunterofendermen367 You're right. None of US maybe. But how about a Jedi? And not just a Padawan or knight, how about a MASTER 😂😂😂
@@hunterofendermen367if you’re able to lift two heavy metal bridges, you can force pull two small girls
@@casualfanatic4217nah, the bridges were still tethered/supported
The finale better be longer than an hour. We still have more questions 😭
No chance. I doubt it'll be much more than 30. THIS was the episode that would reveal the "truth" and answer questions. It did and then it provided more things to question.
@@BoomSlang001 good point, I’m just hoping they address the things they glossed over. Too often shows have scattered loose ends because of the director’s hope for incoming seasons that may or may not have been confirmed. Hopefully everything gets tied together.
@@BoomSlang001the last episode will be 46 mins
Thanks for being so positive about the series - it has been a fun watch so far. So many reviews out there just pick holes in every little detail just seemingly for the sake of it / in an attempt to disrupt the viewing experience.
For the sake of it? You think it's fun to point out how stupid it was that the Padawan ignored a direct order from his master to go potentially start a war with space witches just because he was homesick? 😢
The Witches displayed shapeshifting when they became to dust, only shown by Aniseya and Koril (higher level witches) and Mae who had gone thru the ascension ceremony. This was presumably a form to easily escape an issue like Koril did but it backfired on Aniseya. They also presumably showed Mind Melding, with the other Witches sharing a consciousness with Kelnacca and Aniseya doing the same to Torbin. Both these powers are different from each other. Also I believe they used mind melding to share a consciousness between two bodies when creating Mae and Osha by manipulatingMidi-Chlorians(like Darth Plagueis did), which was only possible thru their magick (not darkside abilities) plus the power of a vergence in the force.
Sounds like a load of bs
@KoolKeithProductions lol well this is my assumed answer based on my notes wat is yours (genuinely asking)
@@TWD77710 I just meant that you're putting more thought into this than Disney does. Most of the things you're assuming likely won't be answered until next season, or not at all.
@KoolKeithProductions ig but Star wars is always alot of assuming I mean we don't have a CONCRETE answer to how anakin was born but it's pretty much confirmed thru assumptions and clutters of evidence throughout the timeline
@@TWD77710 True. We never got confirmation for how Anakin was born, but it's pretty much assumed that he was created using the force by Palpatine. However, the difference is how Anakin came to be wasn't this huge ongoing mystery that hung over the prequel trilogy, meaning they didn't tease finding out the answer at the end of Ep 1 and then again in Ep 2, in order to get you to see ep 3. That's not how George ran things. That's how Disney does SW. Dumb "mystery boxes" that either never get revealed, or the reveal makes no sense.
There go Tommen Baratheon ruining everything again
He just can't catch a character development break...
Killed himself in this too lol
@@BenSmith-br4nh lmao in tht episode's breakdwn i said "there he goes killing himself again" 😂😂😂
Guys, Its Mephisto Confirmed
The marvel/star wars crossover we've all been waiting for
It’s an older meme sir but it checks out
The devil is in the details.
Question: Would Torbin have recognized the mining facility simply because he was born on Bonadan? The Jedi take children when they are very young; Kenobi tells Leia in the Kenobi series that he barely remembers his parents, let alone a possible sibling. I don't know if Torbin would remember such a thing as a mining facility on Bonadan from his infancy before being recruited by the Jedi.
You saw your opportunity & you took it; kudos 👏🏼 (Not Like Us ref. )
Qimir’s name is a reference to a chimera, I think. Were 1 person has 2 sets of genetic material. Where Mae and OSHA split into 2, a yin and yang, Qimir stayed as one, a chimera
Been seeing Abeloth in the mask since it showed up on screen. Face with over extended line of teeth...
God no
Whoa good call
I hope not, but maybe if they actually do it, it’ll be executed better than the disaster we saw in those books…
I think the finale will pit Osha against Master Sol in a final battle.
And Master Sol will cry out “Osha! You were supposed to bring safety to the workplace!”
This joke deserves more likes! 😂😂
Don’t know if this gets pointed out in the video, but they very casually mention that the witches’ home is an old mine. Doesn’t say what type of metal, but also remember that Tenebrous gets killed by Plaugeis in a Cortosis mineshaft, and so far we’ve only seen one Sith (if that) when we were supposed to see two. Just something to consider.
They were praying to a shaft/well. Just saying
9:46 Honestly I think its kinda cool that Sol would be where the cameras watching from- Not as cool as "Hey look you can see him in the background!" But still kinda cool that we and another character were seeing the events from the same angle
There is a fruit that grows on the trunk of the tree, called jabuticaba. It's a berry, very tasty and very common in Brazil.
SOMEHOW, EPISODE 3 RETURNED
i watched Eps. 3 and 7 side by side.. playing and pausing both episodes as the stories move on changing from one POV to another... it was sooooooo cool!!!
from the Philippines
Cool! I might do that
I love that Sol watches the coven for like.. 10 mins, and only sees the "abusive" parts, and none of the loving parts, and then just makes terrible assumptions about them.
but like what else was he supposed to think when that was all he saw. There was nothing that suggested anything else.
The first words he speaks in the series are "Your Eyes can Deceive you" George lucas Level Poetry right there
Sol is twitter
@@Animefanboy4life To be fair, he learned THAT lesson the hard way.
I agree. It’s almost like his observation skills and attention to detail is as good as Disney’s is.🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
Never thought I’d enjoy seeing a compromised Wookie Jedi use the Force, lightsaber, and acrobatics live-action! The story might be decent at best, but the frickin’ fight scenes are some of the best in the franchise!
I liked how strong they showed Wookie hits with the lightsaber. Something I never thought of seeing. Like both jedi were getting easily fatigued from just one lightsaber swing from him.
That fight was also garbage.
@@thunderdan1756 So, you watched it, why?
@@IggyStardust1967 So I can properly criticize it. I've watched every live action "Star Wars" production.
Does this help you get a lot of attention? @@thunderdan1756
Koril's abrupt appearance from behind the tree while Sol is spying on the twins is explained when you watch episodes 3 and 7 synched up. Koril walks off screen in episode 3 and then appears from behind the tree = teleporting.
Messing with Wookiees Jedi or not, it it is not advisable.
Seeing the witches try to posses the bodies gives me nightsister magic.
I think the reason we hear Kylo’s theme under Kelnecca tossing Torbin may be because the witches are controlling Kelnecca and they are tied to the Sith via Qimir. I’m hoping we get his connection to the witches in ep8, hopefully via Mother Koril. Great job as always!🙏🏾✌🏾
Another theory.. kimir is a split of sol. That is why he knows what happened. The split occurred that night.
I love Victoria Monet, so happy they added the song !
you now what would be funny. is that if Kymr was the first test of a Force wielded conception birth. but since he was singular and male, he just left, was given away, or abandonded.
It wouldn't surprise me if this series was connected to the mortis gods with how they designed Qimir's helmet with that smile on it.
Only what you take with you, and, only what you bring with you, just a smidge different but interpret what you wish.
Abeloth is involved as shown by his cortosis helmet ear to ear smile
Did I hear correctly (at some point) that the showrunners pitched an Asajj Ventress series? If so, perhaps Ventress' unique journey can give us a clue as to how everyone is connected. Perhaps Quimir did start out as a Jedi Padawan a long time ago, or at least was "cast out" in some way because he was curious about other paths in the Force. He may have become a journeyman who crossed paths with both the Sith and with the Coven, all the while searching for two things: freedom and elongating his life. He may be a Ventress-type of character, or he may be a known Sith Lord who was presumed defeated, perhaps making Osha and Mae Ventress-like characters.
Can’t wait to get a qimir action figure… his sith design is awesome.. I really hope he doesn’t die at the end of this and they keep him around for a while
Osha didn’t really want to do the ascension. The interference by the Jedi does seem like destiny getting involved
Remember when zoom roundtables weren't needed to help explain concepts and close potholes of tv shows and movies? I remember when shows has enough episodes and better story telling that none of that extra stuff was needed
I feel like “Qimir” could be the one force pulling Osha and Mae down on the catwalk, hence how he knows more of Sol’s backstory?..
"but of course im not going to get into the whole what is and what isn't star wars thing" THIS IS WHY IM WATCHING
Things can be both true, and subjective, and misleading, which is what we saw. Every opinion we had from episode three is explained in this episode, and the assumptions were made were based on limited information.
#20 is also possible reference to the line "an acolyte kills the dream"
Nice catch. Might be something there.
The term Slicing was originally used in the 1991-93 Thrawn Trilogy Novels by Timothy Zahn
Maybe tying back to the power of many vs the power of one, you can sorta break that idea of one person having power by literally splitting someone into two people, possibly like the twins were, cool ideas though
My thought is that maybe the girls aren’t the only split in consciousness, but that they are also a split consciousness of their mother.
I liked the Jedi mind trick from the POV of the "trickee"
I wonder what kind of vision the witches made kelnaca see, like the mother did with the Padawan.
He saw a vision of Torbin telling him his cooking isn't so great.
So listening to this Im a bit confused.
How old is Qimir suppose to be? I assumed that he was only slightly older than the twins, as it seems that he was a padawan of Vernestra... If he is around the same age, theres no way he was involved with the Witches, he would have been at the temple.
Are we sure that the rest of the witches are actually dead? They could have simply passed out from the severed connection. Everyone was running out, did any of them check to see if they were alive?
I thought in the last episode quimir suggested he was actually very old
I love the Star Wars explained love. Alex and Molly rock
I think Chimer is the one who brought the witches here to do their ascension. In the first episode they say they say something about being shown this place to hide or something like that. I also think Chimer had something to do with Osha and May's creation. Likely Chimer took the witches here and told them how to do all this at this vergence and he was somehow going to benefit from them doing this ascension (he did say he is old). When the jedi disrupted his plan he decided to take May as his acolyte. I have to wonder if Chimer is looking for immortality by using the witches to do some experimenting for him. He might be Plagus who had "conquered death" and this is how he did it.
This entire series to mean screams a legends comic book taken into live action.
I hope its a long episode next week i feel there is still a lot to be wrapped up.
😢 🙏
Aniseya telling the girls that ascension requires sacrificing a part of yourself plays into the one consciousness being split into the two persons of Osha and Mae. Osha was the sacrifice to allow Mae's ascension, and that is why Sol had an irresistible need to save OSHA, even though he didn't really understand why.
So didn't Vice - Admiral Holdo created a hyper space disaster on the Last Jedi?
Now this is a great question
Not a disaster just an explosion
**There little to NO connection of the witches to the Sith** Your assuming too much
Got the Wookie Jedi fight I wanted
13:57 we’re just gonna ignore that Aniseya was literally using Sith teachings to try and seduce Torbin? “Give into your emotions.” “You have desires you try to suppress.” “I would let you have whatever you need.” That is Sith teaching! These witches are evil!
People need to keep in mind that this episode is called "CHOICE". Obviously this episode shows how everyone's choices made during this episode completely dictated their futures.
Wow. That’s deep. Good to see my fellow Acolyte enjoyers are such deep thinkers.
@@chefref5027😂😂😂
@@nate5371 Hahahahahaha. Can you BELIEVE these people?
How profound. I’d also like to point out that this is a series that’s part of a universe called Star Wars, meaning it’s based on somewhere other than earth.
ETA: because “Star Wars”
@@Ih8chew Hihihi.
Maybe kylos got the same technique of getting into your head the way the witch and quimir do and it's just showing that in a musical note like a little nod
I think the strangers mask is a tribute to abeloth. The smile is Abeloths defining feature.
Is it possible that Jedi Sun was under manipulation of mind trick to make him want a pupil so bad? He wanted a pupil , but also QiuMir “ wanted a pupil” ? … slightly curious. Is how you kill a Jedi something like damaging a Jedi emotionally to make them less effective?
After this episode I think I will be let down by the ending.
The whole shows a let down idk why I'm still watching lol
Okay so obviously Koral is the big bad behind the scenes. Explains how Kaimer knows so much and would explain how he came to be so capable and comfortable with the dark side.
Thank you for another incredibly well thought out video!
26:20 I was thinking do that exact same scene when I was watching this episode! That scene from the Good Son really stuck with me and I’m glad to see it reminds others of that scene
Great explanation. Thanks!
I think Dagobah itself is a vergence in The Force.
I think somewhere in legends it is but only for darkside energy. Yoda went there so it would mask his presence in the force.
My theory is that they split one person into two so that they can double the M count when they unite them into one person, creating a very powerful force user.
Why? Most likely to defend them and keep the witches safe from the rest of the galaxy.
I wonder if Quimer is some sort of Force Frankenstein monster that was born out of the event like a piece of everyone’s soul mashed into one during the Ascension. And the Ascension is how the force vergence can be used to birth life and is essentially Osha and Maes conception birthday and that is why they were getting marked as a rite of passage on their birthday.
I almost feel like qimir and his acolyte will suspend themselves like Dagan gera and be awakened years into the future
I'm beginning to think that Sol will fall in the finale, that in a final duel with Qimir, he'll kill him and turn to the Darkside, becoming the first Ren, probably taking on the mask. I also suspect that both Qimir and Sol have the same Jedi master.... But we probably will have a scene that canonizes Darth Plagous. IMHO.
I think its gonna be Osha killing Sol
I both hope and am afraid so@PrintNPixel
For some reason it made me think of the Thrawn Ascendancy, when the Magys and their people want to touch the ''Beyond' and heal a planet
I was 9 when the first of those Han Solo books came out and still have a soft spot for them. It is nice to see some elements of those books making their way to canon. I thought the CSA was implied in Andor. I doubt we will even get Bollux and Blue Max or Gallandro, but never thought I would see ANY of it.
3:46 Kelnacca was having a feast. I can understand why some declined it. Sure it's good for Wookiee's digestive system no doubt about it 🙂 I love that scene, ah good times when stream in a dark room & wear 5.1. headphones 🙂
Twirls his lightsaber with Anakin moves ****
You mentioned the parallels between Chime and Yoda, "Only what you take with you." Chime even hints that he used to be a Jedi before Osha was in the order. What if they are planning to have Yoda be Chime's former Jedi master and the two confront each other in the Finale?
if i hear star wars vocals i want to hear YUB NUB
I think that the season will end with Palpatine coming home from the Galactic Republic university and telling his parents, "Somehow I have returned."
I've always kind of figured they'd make the canon version of The Mother the first Night Sister
jus one thing, when mae ran over yelling for help: koril is the one who arms herself first, then torbin. so in actuality, the witches armed themselves and the jedi were just defending themselves
@eavoss at 6:00 Ask a Filipino friend about the use of a spoon in Filipino culture.
Hmm good theory of the Mother Abeloth. Same “ smile “ as Qimirs Helmet
Would you be safer alone with Torbin or a Wookie in the woods?
😂😂😂
Its the A MINORRRR for me
3:15 but you see the mothers breath while in Torbins head?
the term Slicing was used LONG before KOTOR within SW
I also find it interesting that it took all the witches to control Kalnacca
Yes and Kelnacca still partially resisted as shown in beauitful scene 🙂
If only SW Theory was like this still now he's fallen to the dark side
He has become very arrogant. 🫤
@3:26 It's not the fog that's moving, it's the reflection of the mountains on the lake while the camera pans. There is fog over the lake that is immobile.
torbins whole thing was going home then when they told to go home he runs back to the witches 😂😂😂 “ for proof of a vergance “ dude didn’t care ab anything beside leaving until the plot needed something to bring them back😂
