The girl with one of the most dangerous jobs in the galaxy is ironically named OSHA 🤣
Literally taking OSHA jobs😂😂
the actress playing the twins is new to me but looks a lot like a young olivia swann or ella-rae smith
@@vinsanity40k she played Rue in Hunger Games
@@bryanfoster362OH SHOT THAT'S HER?!
I don’t understand the reference
"No fire in space:"
Gotta go back and watch the original trilogy and tell George that lol
They’ve also had sound in space since 1977 according to George
I always thought that a lot of ships in SW had shields.
Science fantasy, not science fiction.
If you want more "realistic" space go watch Star Trek
@@Osvetnik1138
....yeah thats not very realistic either, Battlestar has more realistic Space, with muffled sound (which i love) etc. And then there is "The Expanse" or "For All Mankind", which is the most realistic so far i'd say.
@@Osvetnik1138 Yes & beautiful The Expanse ^^ [Fan of all Three Franchises] 🙂
What I find really amazing about this show is that Lee Jung-jae (Sol) learned english for this, i would never know from his line reads, he sounded like hes been speaking english for years.
Holy hell, really? That's beyond amazing.
Look. THere is SOUND in Star Wars space. Their space is just....different.
It is a different galaxy, after all! (Okay maybe a stretch lol.)
I mean I’ve been operating on the assumption that because there is fire in space, sound in space, and vehicles that fly in space like airplanes do in atmosphere, the Star Wars universe must have something like aether. A non-pressurized, non-breathable, light atmosphere that fills all of their galaxy and makes all those space-creatures and asteroids that have atmospheres make a whole lot more sense, as well as the other things mentioned above.
Fire in Space is 100% possible.
If the pipe was leaking Oxygen into space then at the area immediately around the pipe would have oxygen and could burn. Explode a spaceship or a spacestation and there will be fire in space because there are massive oxygen tanks and the entire pressurized cabin is full of Oxygen which will cause a Fireball.
Yea lol
Damn. I am impressed. Thank you.
I just assumed it was supposed to be a plasma fire, which supposedly doesn't require oxygen.
Only problem with this. The fire would have fed back along the source of oxygen as it burned and blown up the oxygen at its source...thus destroying/damaging the ship.
The way it is depicted is not realistic...it wouldn't just burn and splutter as a little fire for more than a second....when it would burn its small amount of oxygen out or followed the source.
Also, there are chemicals which produce oxygen. You can light a match on the moon, because the head has oxygen in it. We do not know which substances were burning in the show what kind of draft they would produce because of their expansion and the movement of the ship.
Adam: There is no fire in space!
The Sun: 🥺
the sun is not made of fire
- doesnt understand how fire works.
well adam is the same guy who said there was no inertia in space (one of the ahsoka videos). 😄
Maybe go finish school
So what I got from the monologue at the end was, In the time of the high republic, the Jedi were kinda viewed by a lot of people as these super powerful beings. To kill one was difficult, but one dying from a weapon of some sort wasn't impossible, but would usually be attrbuted to the strength of said weapon. So to kill one without a weapon, not only kills the individual jedi, but it kills that idea of them as all powerful. It shows them as being weak. "Kills the dream."
Also on the robes. In the High Republic Jedi had two sets of robes. Their Temple robes were generally white and gold, and used for either around the temple or special events (Basically a dress uniform.), and their Mission robes, which were usually more earth tones and didn't look as regal so they would be more personable and approachable.
Why is everybody so certain we are never going to see Carrie Ann Moss again? She is in multiple scenes we havent seen yet in the trailer, and even if you havent seen them, there is clearly a past there. There will almost certainly be flashbacks. We dont have all the info yet. Almost like we are 2 episodes into an 8 episode series and there is still 75% of the show left.
Wouldn't be shocked to learn towards the end she's the big baddie.
they pulled this with daredevil in echo so people are jittery 😄
I agree! We will see more of her.
Who cares when the show already sucks. I'm a grown man that doesn't paint his fingernails so maybe I just don't get it.
I really don't understand the hatred for this show. The first episodes didn't blow me away but there's some definite potential. The characters are interesting and there's some fun places this story could go. I am interested to see what happens next.
Evil Twin is not Original.
@@mikew4022He never said it was he just said there's some potential
Imagine thinking “this isn’t original” is a serious criticism in a franchise which was birthed in the first place by ripping off Frank Herbert’s Dune. I swear, man, some Star Wars “fans” are just the most ridiculous humans
@@mikew4022 Star Wars is very much about duality. The light and the dark. We haven't had an evil twin as the leads in Star Wars as the story yet.
@@jasonmarbachthe whole not original thing in general is a joke, dune had prince of Arabia, prince of Arabia had other influences and so on and so on through thousands of years of folk tales lol
"No fire in space."
*Modern rocket-propelled spacecraft would like to know your location*
Fire needs fuel and an oxidizer, not an atmosphere.
That's not the way it works. You may see a jet of flame and carbon with fuel and oxidizer but not a campfire because there is no gravity. This is a 3 out of 10.
@@bogeyman7436unfortunately, it seems like they didn’t use cgi for the fire. I’ll give them slack on how their practical effects work
@@bogeyman7436 Nevermind that fire in space has been a part of Star Wars since *literally* A New Hope in 1977. It’s a franchise where you can hear ship engines and blasters in space. Faster than light travel exists.
But oh yeah, for sure. Y’all are tooootally serious people. For sure. 🤣🤡
She is an acolyte, and has to kill Jedi in different ways, to prove she is worthy of her master. Trials.
Correct and I bet the reason she keeps reaching for the saber when she fights Jedis is because that is one of the trials she has to achieve.
Thank GOD they are using planet title identifiers. Their absence has been a pet peeve of mine for years now.
Fire is possible in space if an oxidizer is present. They're currently studying how fire behaves differently in space. So it may not look exactly like that, but there can be fire.
9:01 That actor is the same one who plays Gi-hun, the winner of Squid Game, s. 1
They informed us in the opening “scroll” that this takes place a hundred years before the rise of the Empire. This is the tail end of the High Republic. There technically should be some characters from the series timeline we’re used to. Chewbacca, Yoda, Huyang, Jabba the Hutt, Yaddle, Bendu, and Maz Kanata are somewhere in the galaxy in The Acolyte’s timeline.
Adam entering the fifth dimension to find his memories of obscure Dark Horse comics was hilarious.
And don't worry, they explain a lot of your questions in the next episode.
Fire can exist in space, it can't start on its own due to no oxygen, but All you need is a strong oxidizing agent and a spark / explosion. The flames on the ship could very well happen, as it may not be oxygen that is burning.
Adam, were you thinking about theTales of the Jedi comic about Ulic and Cay Qel-Droma? They were also twins, with one falling to the Dark Side and the other one staying with the Light Side.
Oh my god YES I WAS!!!!!!! Thank you!!!
That was such a great story! One of the first Star Wars comics I ever owned and I read the heck out of it.
I’ve left this comment lots of places, including on the preview’d discord, but I have to drop it here for my favorite boys and the algorithm goddess too:
This show is incredible so far. After 2 eps, Sol is already one of my favorite Jedi ever. And I *love* how they’re showing a character like Yord and how he’s more akin to prequel era Jedi (vain, a bit arrogant, maybe corruptible, quick to violence, draws his saber every chance he gets) as compared to more wise, peacekeeping Jedi like Indara or Sol. I really, *really* love that they’re showing the order moving that direction slowly and organically.
I’ve seen this comment before! lol I agree 100%. People complain about Yord and the actor but I think you hit the nail on the head about him in particular
it's just boring, bad acting, corny script. the vast majority of us aren't entertained by it. i saw one of your other comments saying people are hating it before it's fully released because they're bigoted. that's ridiculous, i'm black and bisexual and i find myself thoroughly bored by this and most other disney star wars projects. you can't honestly put this or ahsoka or kenobi next to revenge of the sith and say yeah this is on the same level
So happy to see some himbo representation in the Jedi order
Sol is the best character and I want to see more of Indara in a flashback and also liked X23🥰
Agreed. Sol was the highlight of these two episodes.
the fact that he barely spoke any english before this role is insane. im glad this actor is getting more eyes on him, hes phenomenal.
In the High Republic books, white robes are for ceremonial/Coruscant temple attire. Brown robes + the vambraces are for mission attire.
“I see fire.”
“I see rain!”
“I see summer days that I thought would never end.”
i loved the episodes, i am so excited for this show just to see a new era of the universe. absolutely on board!~
They are in the shield bubble, there has always been some atmosphere in the ships shields. The fire starts because she fixed the shields. It's also how Liea survived in TLJ. This goes all the way back to original Expanded Universe lore back to the old Marvel comics. Even Han Chewie and Liea were in space while swallowed by the Space Slug in ESB and didn't need full space suits.
"Woah! Inside voices." beeoowaawaa?" (Is this better?)Thank you" Ship: BEEP!!!BBEEEEPPP!
High Republic Jedi have multiple robes. Basically have dress robes for temple and combat/mission robes.
Did we need to see the last 30sec, no...
Are we glad they gave it to us though...
Hellz yes!!!!
Adams Droid would hate Jay's Droid. But Jay's Droid would think they are best friends.
Jay’s droid would drive Adam crazy because they’d fight like siblings 🤪🤣❤️
(love you Adam! Just funning)
Who's Jay?
@@mikew4022left guy
I had a brief thought about fire in space... but then again, this is a fantasy universe where all the planets have: 1) atmospheres breathable for all species, 2) the same gravitational force, 3) one biodome across the entire planet
Adam's been wearing glasses for so long now that I almost forgot there was a time when he didn't
Adam's disgruntled face when Indara gets killed is all of us.
Talk about bait and switch trailers!
Nah, I smiled cuz she went out sacrificing like a Jedi should rather than straight up losing. Also I knew from trailers she’ll be in flashbacks.
The film reel noise is a wonderful touch. Keep that in any time you need to have a good think for sure. ;)
Showrunners: An Acolyte kills without a weapon.
Also showrunners: Dagger dagger?
Showrunners: Daggers don't count.
I don’t think she is the Acolyte…yet. I think she was coming back and he was chastising her for killing with the daggers basically saying “ look don’t kill with daggers or your saber kill them with a dream”
That’s my take. We’ll see. Because it’s not obvious.
@@GordontheHypnotist I hope that's the case. It would make much more sense.
@@Soladorn3117that’s exactly the case. It’s why she asked her buddy to not let him know about the poison.
@@Trikzilla Honestly I'm hoping her buddy is the sith in disguise.
The fire is still going because there is fuel running through the lines, meaning there is a source for the flame to continue burning. I would imagine it would go out if it were just a quick flash fire without the fuel line.
First of all, fire is 100% possible in space with appropriate fuel. Second, there has been fire in space in Star Wars since 1977, so I don't know why suddenly everyone is bothere by it
"Was that guy wearing a big Wookie pelt?"
"Perhaps I killed a Wookie and took it from him"
I will say that I agree with the take on that ending scene in that it is placed and shot very weirdly. I think the Sith Lord’s proclamation that an Acolyte doesn’t kill the dream with a weapon is more of a metaphorical killing of Jedi Philosophy of not attacking an unarmed enemy (We see Mae try to get Trinity to fight her without a weapon and taunts her about using her saber) however the way in which he gives the speech out of nowhere and ignites his lightsaber Darth Maul in Solo style to tell the audience he’s bad does feel a little out of place with the rest of the episode. Still enjoyed the episode overall so far and I’m hopeful for more of the good
"Noodle Wheel" 🤣 I love you guys!
pretty clear the final scene is there to show Mae is working for a sith without having to actually say it. Red saber, guy in black, hates jedi, all shorthand for "this character is a sith or related to the sith". And the "kill with no weapon thing" is explained next episode not much point getting into that.
these guys are just haters
1:35 Adam ❤
Brooklyn 99-Jake: Who wants to see the undercover video of Amy Santiago buying drugs with perfect grammar?
AMY (ADAM): There is nothing wrong with asking, *May I have some coc@ine?*
Adam, Ned Stark was all over the posters too. So was Drew Barrymore in Scream.
GoT he was in nine of the ten episodes of the first season. We grew attached to the character.
Not seen Scream so can't make comparison, though it's a horror movie and in horror, you never trust someone is invulnerable.
Moss was gone in the first few minutes of the first episode. Hopefully, we'll see more of her in flashbacks and learn more about her character and her connection to the (so far) antagonist, so her death actually means something to the audience. Otherwise it just feels like a cheap trick to get people to watch - which isn't needed because it's Star Wars!
The Scream one was the whole point and frankly, the trendsetter for this phenomenon.
(regardless, though, there's obviously going to be flashbacks, so she's not done yet).
Jay is the R2 to Adam’s 3PO.
And that’s exactly the dynamic their droids would have
You’re not wrong. But I will say that there have been explosions and ships on fire in space in Star Wars many times. Haha
Exactly. All of a sudden “fans” expect scientific accuracy in a show with light sabers, hyperspace and space whales 😂
I think what the final scene does is tell us there is someone pulling her strings (sets up the larger conflict, and that she is not yet an Acolyte because she used a weapon, he's telling her she didn't pass the test and has to kill again, this time without the knives.
I'm generally pretty keen to see where this show goes. Everyone seems pretty interesting, Sol especially. Honestly, I thought the worst part was that last scene. Just weird and clunky. "An acolyte kills without a weapon"...he says to someone who literally just killed a Jedi with a knife. And like you say, it's just out of place.
Unless...May's evil cult nickname is "Wins Without a Knife"? Now THAT would be a weird reference :P
It's giving me Star Wars action-mystery vibes, and I'm cool with it. Looking forward to future episodes to see where this goes. Could Yoda make an appearance???
Star Wars needs anthology shows. Tales of the Jedi type pocket stories. Something major for the characters involved, but not something that would overly affect the galaxy like the trilogies.
There’s been fire in space since 1977
SW has sound in space
We gonna see Carrie in at least one huge flashback episode and maybe as a force ghost? So shes not GONE.... also Fallout and Invincible (sequid on dudes face) are in a shared universe with SW is my new head canon
By the way, did you notice X-23? You know, the actress who happened to play as Wolverines daughter in Logan?
How are you supposed to recognize her in that make up😂
@@mikew4022 I didn't, but something was gnawing me at the back of my mind when i watched it. Then it hit me when I saw Dafne Keen was part of the cast.
Ok… someone get Adam some vambraces 😂
Peach braces, that give +1 to rolls for video editing that involve Dex checks
16:12 this scene reminded me of The Fugitive with Harrison Ford. I thought, "Oh no! She's going over the edge!"
I like being wrong. Occasionally.
That, "not only is that a Jedi, that is Trinity" is so real 😁
When they say the acolyte kills without weapons they mean the killing of the dream. The weapons aren’t important because weapons can’t kill hope
I’m so excited to watch this with you. I really hope it’s gonna be awesometastic!!
yeeeaaaaaahhhhh .....
I mean I’ve been operating on the assumption that because there is fire in space, sound in space, and vehicles that fly in space like airplanes do in atmosphere, the Star Wars universe must have something like aether. A non-pressurized, non-breathable, light atmosphere that fills all of their galaxy and makes all those space-creatures and asteroids that have atmospheres make a whole lot more sense, as well as the other things mentioned above.
I think the part i am most interested in is how she kept trying to take the ligthsaber. Kinda feels like the old native american rites for touching an armed enemy while unarmed.if thats real i read it online
I know everyone is different, but I really am shocked y’all aren’t really vibing with the show as much as I thought you would, based on other reactions I’ve seen. Adam seems more critical and nit-picky than I’ve seen him before. We’re only two episodes in, and it’s a mystery-thriller tv show, so of course there’s a bunch of weird questions you’re gonna have; it’s a mystery TV show, and you’re not about to get all the information you need in the first two episodes. The episodes end in a classic mystery-thriller way, with an ending that leaves you upset there’s not more (so you will stay tuned for the next episodes. For me the first two episodes made me extremely intrigued in the plot and invested in the characters, particularly Osha, Sol, and Mae, along with spectacular sets, the classic Star Wars feel, the cinematography and special effects look like cinema, the use of the force in ways we haven’t seen much of before, and the incredible fight choreography. The acting is amazing too, and it hits just the right emotional beats. I think this is already the best SW show, but I’ll wait until it ends to say for sure. Hopefully you guys will like it more as the show move along.
Definitely agree the aesthetics of this show are its best features. Personally I’m liking it, eager to see where it goes
If I had a droid in real life, it would absolutely be a Gonk - I'd always know what they were saying and power outages? No sweat, baby.
Just thought of something at 5:48 that Adam would have a droid like Chopper.... LOL
I don't think the final scene with Baddy McRedsaber was needless at all, nor do I think it was just "showing a red lightsaber for the heck of it." If I recall correctly, in order to progress in their training, an acolyte of the Sith must defeat a Jedi without a weapon, either killing the Jedi bare-handed, or by taking the Jedi's own weapon and turning it against them. Only then may the acolyte be allowed to take the kyber crystal from the Jedi's lightsaber in order to "bleed" it, turning it red for their own use and becoming a true Sith. This is why Mae initially challenged Indara empty-handed, and also why they put so much emphasis on how Mae tried several times to grab Indara's lightsaber during their fight, yet ended up leaving it behind afterwards. Mae knew that she had failed to kill Indara "properly," having relied on trickery with her knives instead of on skill alone, so she was not permitted to take the saber. Her failure here, then, is why her master scolded her in the final scene, igniting his own red lightsaber to remind her of what she must do to obtain and "bleed" a kyber crystal for herself.
Regarding the fire if there’s a powerful full source to feed the flame it can happen. We see that in real world rockets like todays Space X launch that was a complete success
So I’d agree about fire in space, however, It’s Star Wars and Also All Star Wars ships have something in their schematics called an “Aether Rudder.” Which means there is some kind of gaseous Medium in the Space of the Star Wars universe.
There are two theories I’ve seen:
1: The Star Wars Galaxy is so far back into the past near the Big Bang that this Gas is left over from the creation of the universe and hasn’t dispersed yet….
2: Star Wars just isn’t another Universe, it’s the Previous Universe with different laws of Physics.
However it’s also Just Star Wars, Just repeat to yourself it’s just Fiction, and really just relax.
*there is no fire in space* (in the fantasy about space ninja monks with intergalactic travel, laser swords, fully autonomous intelligent robots & aliens that speak English......)
At 4:51 Keanu Reeves should walk in, reach into her chest and get her heart going again...
You know it’s funny when I was watching the show as soon as they mentioned the main girls name I immediately thought about you guys and how much you were going to riff on it. I’m glad to see I wasn’t disappointed.
It's Star Wars... It has fire and sound in space.
I was surprised about Carrie Ann Moss too, haha. It's such a treat to see her do this kind of stage fighting. But I'm guessing we'll get her in some flashbacks. Also, even if we don't, my sister sagely quipped that the intro was maybe all the Trinity they could afford $$ lol
I am intrigued by the story so far. I like the characters and the cast. The dialog sounds like Lucas wrote it, not sure if that's by design or not, but I'm hoping that it gets better as the show goes on. Overall, some fun late spring/early summer Star Wars.
There were a lot of fire explosions in Star Wars, an also there's not sound neither and we had a lot of pew pew. Star Wars is like this haha
Fire explosions are one thing, most starship have oxygen to keep their crew alive... sustained fire is another. Not saying it's not impossible, rocket fuel uses an oxidizer to mix in oxygen to work in soace. Atmospheric engines tend to have intakes, though... since our atmosphere has oxygen
I mean, i’m not gonna lie the fight choreo is on point, it just feels that there’s a secret something that seems to be lacking
Guys, go back and read the opening scroll again. She is going against her training to get revenge. She doesn't care about anything else.
What if the flammable gasses are being expelled from the ship and fueling the fire?
No fire in space in our space. Their space? Don’t know. Every one I’ve watched has pointed it out.😂
Technically you could have fire in space if whatever was in that line had an oxidizer in it.
All you need is something to fuel it and there can be fire in space
indeed there is literally gas venting from that busted valve.
I could be wrong but isn't there fire in space in new hope
If there was no fire in space we wouldn’t have a sun.
Jay would straight have a chopper as his Droid.
“That scene doesn’t make any sense”
Imagine not understanding foreshadowing…
I really just don’t understand what Star Wars “fans” want anymore
Definite video game sort of vibes from this one. If that's deliberate I hope it leads to them giving us a proper retelling of Knights of the Old Republic. But yeah, don't see why there's hate for this so far. It's sticking to the Star Wars foundation of 'Western in Space' with the Seven Samurai-esque influences.
Who said there is no fire in space? What is his evidence? Plus, the fire was on the ship,”in space” means you light a torch and throw into space and it keeps being on fire. 😮
14:40 Caleb would like a word.
You guys crack me up on these star wars shows lol
There has been so much fire in space in star wars lol sometimes I wonder if people watched star wars beforexD
Lmao. Adam totally sounds like a narc, but he's Pretty Fly for a White Guy! 😂
this show truly is everything i’ve been wanting from star wars in so long. i’ve gotten so sick of the skywalker / empire/ prequel era of star wars so it’s nice to get something different. internet haters are simply just that , mindly haters who are unable to let go of the star wars they grew up with and at least try and embrace the potential of this new stuff.
Adam now needs to invent a jawa version of Cypress hill.
Definitely not perfect, but it's good Star Wars. I am very interested. I really like our main cast of Jedi/Osha as of episode one and our look into the beginning of the fall of the Order
My thought, "Ooh, plasma fire in space."
Does Star Wars use plasma?
i see 1 bad mother who dont take no guff from no one
Solid start! However, her having a twin was way too predictable. I figured it out as soon as the first Jedi questioned her. If that did not uncover that plot twist, then when she wasn't able to force grab her droid should have been a clue.
There is fire in space if one of the lines which broke is an oxygen line and the other is a fuel line. This is literally how all rockets work.
I always thought it would be cool if we could have little droids like the ghosts in the Destiny videogame or the robot Weebo from the movie Flubber.
THE UMBRELLA ACADEMY TRAILER HAS BEEN OUT FOR DAYS YOU GONNA ACKNOWLEDGE IT
If that were the right mixture of say oxygen and hydrogen venting into space, AND there is some kind of shielding around the ship keeping it contained then you could maybe get some limited amount of fire.
There's also whales, mynocks, worms etc in space. The fire in space thing doesn't really mean much after all of that.
Can we please stop and appreciate Jay’s Robin Hood reference?
theres an air and space museum
Carrie Ann Moss's character literally yanks a knife from the Acolyte's hand and then 45 seconds later watches with FOREKNOWLEDGE of where she plans to throw a knife and allows the throw and then must do a full 90 degree turn to attempt to force grab the knife AFTER the fact.....c'mon writers. If you wanted her to die that badly in 1 fight at least make it more believable.
Her name is Osha and she had a work related accident in the first episode.
