  • Master Sol was left an emotional wreck at the end of episode 5 of the Acolyte, this has caused him to make some mistakes in the aftermath of skirmish on Khofar. I think this leaves him in a very vulnerable position, something that Jedi Master Vernestra Rwoh could easily take advantage of.

    It’s so weird how Jedi teach each other to be the moral police and in tune with the force but the minute something goes wrong, they’re the first to point fingers and throw each other under the bus. I think Vanestra is framing Sol, just to take the heat off of herself. You could see it in her eyes when she realized it was Quimir. The more I get to know about Jedi practices, the least I like them. As much as I wanted him to stay with Luke, I can definitely understand why it wasn’t very hard for Baby Yoda to choose the path of becoming mandalorian.

      My theory is it depends on the "strength" of the echo. Like the stuff Cal Kestis and Quinlan Voss pick up/touch is too faint for most Jedi, but in a situation like the bombing or the attack on Khofar, there's such an instant, and violent shift in the force (loss of life), that the echoes are "louder" allowing other Jedi to hear them.

    "The road to Hell is paved with good intentions." That should be the Jedi's motto for this era. They're trying so hard to not appeared flawed, that their flaws are being exposed.
    I'm wondering who originally sent the Jedi to Brendock. Was it Vanestra? She seems to be in charge of the investigation division of the jedi, if that's even a thing.
    The clues being dropped in each episode just bring up more questions.
    It is unfortunate that this show isn't doing that well.

    It's true that the Jedi shouldn't have entered the power play of the Republic's politics. Plagueis remarks this as the Jedi supported the Republic's policies as the will of the Force. He even commented that the only way the Jedi order could have stopped the Bane line Sith was to break away from the Republic and tend to the study and true will of the Force. Even Luke in the expanded universe, eventually separated the Jedi Order from the New Republic control.

    You are right about the hindsight. I've been watching week to week:
    First I suspected Yord, he was so straight laced and quick to palm his saber when ANYTHING seemed amiss (A Jedi doesn't pull her weapon unless prepared to kill), so I thought maybe he was mad at the looseness of the jedi and thought secretly they were a lie.
    Then I thought it was Mother Coral.
    Then I thought it was Mother Coral force wielding Qimir.
    I was almost disappointed when Qimir was revealed, until he started speaking with Sol and Mani is so good at the roll.
    I love that almost every guess I've had is wrong. My only issue with the last episode was they didn't address whether they found Newbacca's (Kelnacca's) body in the ship-hut or not. Wierd since he's the only Jedi that was actually known to be there. Or did I miss it?

    What I also really like and missed is the one week waiting to see what's coming next. The theories building in my head and just waiting for wednesday.
    After episode 5 I feel like no character could be safe! It's the 2012 Game of Thrones feeling. And it's all about the cracks, the faults at the hightime of the Jedi. Similar to Andor showing us the cracks and faults of the empire, birthing the rebellion.
    The series won't beat Andor :D That's for sure. Andor is a masterpiece, but right now, it's a solid. It could blow me away with the next episodes and this is so engaging.
    I also feel like the ones rating The Acolyte badly haven't watched a single minute. You said it in one of your other videos. Most who rated Andor, haven't even watched the show! I guess those people multiplied. That's concerning. :(

Then Darth Plagious arrives, Quimir thinks he will be saved, but Darth kills him, takes Hi body to do disturbing experiment (that will not be showed, just for fans to guess, and then, he will finally show Hi master Tenebrous that he was worthy apprentice.

    I would not say it's literally better than Ahsoka, but I like how some speeches in The Acolyte are more deep and make sense, like when Osha was speaking with Qimir on his secret planet, most of those sentences were pretty well written, which is shocking for Disney era StarWars and fight choreography is a massive step forward for Disney era, but after all, I am still looking forward for Ahsoka season 2 more than Acolyte season 2 because you have whole new galaxy there and anything can happen there. I am pretty sure they will waste this potential, but let's hope they won't.
    Instead of the Acolyte, I would like to see something in more distant past or future, this is too close to prequels and they are limited by that.
    That massive hate of Acolyte before it was actually released is stupid and I don't watch channels like Nerdotic anymore, I thought they are serious StarWars channels before, but now I know they are not, you are vice versa one of only few big StarWars channels who is serious and don't automatically hate everything just becuase it's created by "some LGBT woman" or something.

The Jedi seem like a corrupt Police Department in this Republic era. I hope we do get know more about the other forces users, what happened to them, who did it to them and why. I for one am still very interested. Just why is it that ONLY the Jedi can train force sensitive children in this Republic? Until further notice, it still does look like the Jedi came after the Covenant for doing exactly what the Jedi do, train children.
