How we feeling? Let it rip. GO!
I agree with everything you said
Please tell me you listened to the song during the credits and that'll be part of your review.
Trandoshans were always right about the hairy beasts. They deserve no medal
It was a travesty lol
Just finished it. This was terrible. It had some decent scenes. The fight choreography is the best thing in the whole series. I just don’t care about the twins. It had so much potential but the writing and acting just isn’t good.
Sol was holding the bridge with the force but didn’t just pick the kids up with it hahah
@TheSparksAndHearts wrote, "Sol was holding the bridge with the force but didn’t just pick the kids up with it hahah"
If Sol used the Force to immediately lift the twins off the falling bridge, then we wouldn't have The Acolyte storyline to make fun of.
Lol OMG very true. Never even thought of that
I THOUGHT THE SAME THING
Omg this sent me lmao
After the fight with Kelnacca maybe he didn't have the strength left to lift up both Mae and Osha so he chose Osha.
So Sol can sense an entire conversation behind a stone wall, but can't sense or see the difference between Mae and Osha in the last two episodes?
Esch episode is a standalone unconnected universe 😂
He saw what he wanted to see.
I think he can’t sense the difference because they are artificially made to be the same person but split in two
Because they are essentially the same person… They share the same soul
@@Br0wnCh3haha😅
They spent 6 episodes building up this reveal at the witches temple, and it was a complete waste of time😂
Strong enough to keep a bridge from collapsing, but not strong enough to grab two little girls who were standing on said bridge. Expert writing.
Could hear/ detect a conversation through the walls but couldn’t detect or distinguish the girls apart- oh and you can kill an entire coven with the force but couldn’t stop a dagger 🗡️ 😂
@@giovannigamez8901 Told Sol he shouldn't have come back, and then told him she was going to let Osha go with him.
@@aperson2943I did t understand that scene at all . Wasn’t she about to possess someone?
The entire series is bad. Holy cow, the tip toeing around things that this dude has to do is ridiculous.
@@bestlexluthor7596 This show has plot holes the size of a Death Star. It's not even worth dissecting.
Wow that was even worse than I could have ever imagined. They character assassinate the fan favorite Sol making him make irrational decisions, become super emotional, and kill the mother. Not really sure how that event was so bad that they went into hiding after, with Torbin killing himself? They invaded their heads and Indara just killed the sisters with the force? Why would that make Torbin want to kill himself? Sol’s acting couldn’t even save this episode, absolutely awful from everyone involved. We all know it will not be a satisfying ending, and show will definitely not get a season 2
make sense it looked like she was gonna take mae out with her
Torbin going back to the fortress escalated the whole thing. He was a brash padawan and it led to everyone's downfall.
@@davisjustin1313 His motivations were very poorly written. You can argue he was homesick and the witch elevated that feeling when she got into this head and that lead to her own death. So so poorly done though. Sol and Torbins motivations in this episode werely terribly written. Didn't buy their characters actions at all.
@@davisjustin1313 not really they where not gonna let osha leave anyway it would have had the same outcome no matter what
This show just doesn’t feel remotely like Star Wars. Even shitty Book of Boba Fett at least felt like it took place in the Star Wars universe.
Yea, the tone is nothing like Star Wars. To me, it feels like an old Star Trek episode except is not cleverly written 😅
This makes Kenobi and Book of Boba Fett look like The Godfather
It had plenty reshoots and rewrites, while filming. Acolytes a classic example of what happens when you do that. Its a mess. No plan from the beginning and it shows.
We don't need Lucasfilm to spend $180M for cool fights, fans can make fan-films much cheaper. We're looking for the "professional story tellers" to show up.
I've said the same thing. A couple of cool lightsaber fights don't make up for all the other garbage. The fact they spent $180M on an incoherent story that goes against everything we have come to know about SW is sad. Especially when you realize Fallout and House of the Dragon were both made for less.
100%!!!
This, it’s like Disney think Star Wars doesn’t need good writing.
Even if some of these shows are aimed at a younger audience it still doesn’t excuse the bad writing, for me the story should still be good just lighter. This just seems like an exercise in how to waste money and lose fans.
They could've used this BUDGET to make a dozen GODZILLA MINUS ONE FILMS !!! smh
@@zZ-bu7lp The Acolyte = $643,000 / minute
Andor = $520,000 / minute
Can anyone explain where the money went?
(edit) For context Andor looks like a project that spent the money, The Acolyte does not.
I laughed when Mae lost control of the fire. All that buildup for nothing.
Why is there an open flame at all?
@@sanzoftatooine Bruh candles and fireplaces exist in real life. You never been in a building with an open flame?
@ZachBobBob No I don't see a lot of hotels, hospitals, or homes using candles in sconces to light their hallways.

This all happened because Torbin was homesick?
😂 This is really funny. Sad. But funny.
To be fair, Coruscant is pretty sick.
@@Smallvillefreak and they never even said why he was homesick? We don’t know anything about his character and why we should sympathize with him. This is basic character writing 101.

He needed to get back for some deathsticks
*I love the part where Sol is trying to tell Indara she can't fight a 50v1 against all those witches and Indara's reply was they're just women LOL*
It got a chuckle out of me. I think the intent there is to call out how odd it is that they're all women yet there are two young girls born UNNATURALLY.
@@BoomSlang001that has nothing to do with the contex of the conversation.

Its a good song
@@cloudystorm7314 Not for Star Wars imo
@@cloudystorm7314 sure but it doesn’t fit the tone of Star Wars. It felt so out of place. For the last 50 years Star Wars end credits have always had the musical score play over the credits. Having a pop song play just feels so wrong.
Kelnacca is like “ ruuuunrgn!!” ( I found a nickel and two silver dollars today!”
Not only was the whole thing bad but they top it off with a FREAKING POP SONG in the credits. Why??????
Twin flames??? Gay
Power of Two is pretty good
It's like a movie ended in 2008.
I never watched the credits but now I gotta check it out.
They did the same with Willow
Sol and Torbin would never have made it through Jedi 101. Neither character can control or even process their emotions. The show has still not explained why Osha wanted to be a Jedi in the first place. Or how the twins were created. Or why Sol felt such an immediate bond to Osha. Or how Indara was able to pull the possessive force out of Kelnacca, or why this killed all the other witches. Or why Sol not only followed the twins and Korril but also broke into their fortress to observe them. A jedi would not violate boundaries like that. At least the jedi were not there to eliminate the coven, and they did not kill them in cold blood. Instead two of them go off half cocked, lead by emotions, and trigger the witches, which leads to a deadly confrontation. The jedi's blows were mostly in self defense, but they triggered the situation itself. It is a very stupid scenario.
Sol definitely acts like a Padawan in these flashbacks, not a master. But I guess he was a full-fledge Jedi.... Seems like an oversight or his dad pulled some strings with the council to get him promoted or something lol
Also what was happening when the one mother witch was disappearing into a cloud of smoke? Why did Sol think that was so bad that he felt he had to put his lightsaber in her? It seemed to be a teleportation thing.
@@MostViewedTop40for some reason Mae whas disappearing when she did that I thought she was killing her or something. Mae was talking about them sacrifice someone honestly i dont know nothing really made much sense.
But it did explain why she wanted to be a jedi in episode 3. She feels alone with Mae, being among others her age was one of the encouragements sol offered her in joining the jedi, to see more than what she had.
@@hawkeyemihawkgettingmoneylord I am not convinced the writers could tell you what was happening.
Luckily it is not an important plot point or anything. It's not like he has been guilty all these years for this thing and it is his characters motivation. ....Oh!
My biggest issue is that for an episode where what happened on Brendok 16 years ago was finally revealed, the overall truth was meh, followed by a “that’s it!?”
With all the rumors that have been flying around about what happened and possible Sith involvement and the Jedi overstepping in a major way…and this was it? The padawan is homesick and Osha wants to be a Jedi and that leads to this catastrophe?
I just wanted more. The reveal of what happened was tepid, not too hot, not too cold, just…there.
And Sol, talk about a bad beat. The man just can’t catch a break and I don’t see him walking away from this season. But any theory that he may be a sith, or have a real darkness to him, throw that out the window. He’s just a guy who seems to make a mistake with every third step.
It was cool to see that Indara was the one with a level head as I had her pegged as the zealot who was responsible for things going wrong.
Overall a fairly meh episode, but in the context of being the penultimate episode and the episode where everything is revealed…it’s kinda bad.
In retrospect, we shouldn’t have had to wait this long to get the full story. This should’ve been episode 5, at the latest.
Right?!?! Six episodes of Sol teasing it... and this is it... Never trust a Zabrak.
It makes me wonder if the show was even pitched as being a mystery or it was announced as one purely for marketing reasons or to just pad out the episode quota. If it was shown chronologically there would still be the through-line of Sins of the Past returning, and more time could be spent on character development and less on trying to avoid mentioning what happened.
Indara was the one with the level head until she decided to lie to the council 😂
@@elbebinpr well once the damage was done…😬
@@paulhitchcock2543 😂😂😂
Imagine Star Wars with the care Game of Thrones put in .
Until about the last three seasons 😆
It's called Andor
@@VulcanerdSeason 6 was great and it’s revisionist history from people now who try to claim otherwise.
@@DanV900 um, I watched It as it aired, even had watch parties with friends and I remember it going wonky for the last three seasons or more and I’d read all the books by then.
@@Vulcanerd That is once again revisionist history. Season 6 had the famous Hodor reveal, the Battle of the Bastards, and the finale that was awesome. Season 5 was the slow season that only truly delivered in its last 3 episodes and was the last season following the books. People just like to parrot that it got bad when it moved past the books which wasn’t true with season 6. I watched season 6 with friends too as it aired and everyone praised it. People just don’t want to acknowledge it now which is of course pretty dumb.
Wait! You can’t tell me you didn’t like seeing a Wookiee Jedi in a man bun combing the forest with a metal detector.
Oh I did
@@TheKristianHarloffI rarely laugh out loud watching a show by myself. It’s always been a comedy before . 😅
@@bestlexluthor7596 I laughed out loud like 3-4 times in the reaction.
@@TheKristianHarloff 😂
@@TheKristianHarloffAcolyte all-flashback episode 7 was very good.
I liked the references to the hyperspace catastrophe that wiped out life on some planets; of which in the last episode Jedi master Vernestra has pain/nausea from traveling through hyperspace due to her strong connection to the force.
The fact that Sol was an emotional Jedi like Dooku, Anakin and Quigon Jinn was seen in quite a big way.
The turn of the plot, who is responsible for the death of the entire Clan of these Witches who follow the path of Bogan = Darkness in magic, they were quite similar to the Witches of the Sisterhood of the Night from Dathomir, where Darth Maul also comes from.
The fights were great, the choreography was great and seeing two Jedi fight against a possessed Wookie Jedi was great.
But most of all, normally, just like Mother Cora, I felt this emotional pain in my heart. When Sol killed her partner, co-mother of two children and the love of her life, mother Aniseya, in front of her eyes.
The destruction reminded me of something similar to when the Jedi destroyed the entire planet of Korriban, where the original Sith race came from.
The goofiest thing was when sol was holding up the bridge that the twins were on and he didn’t just pick up the two small children 😭 Then when he was holding up the bridge all you hear is “Osha!” “May!” “Osha!” “May!” “Osha!” “May!” Over and over 💀
I just rewatched it and it's hilarious
yeah, I agree. why not. Hey kids, get off the bridge. I can't hold it much longer.
I broke down laughing watching Mae slide down off screen. Not only was the decision stupid, it looked the part too. And to top it off apparently the bridge wasn't even that far from the ledge because Sol took two steps forward and grabbed Osha 🤣
A detective mystery about a rogue dark sider with a grudge against a specific list of Jedi, with the Jedi Master and Padawan tasked with solving the mystery and stopping the murders as the main characters is a great idea. Maybe we will get that series one day.
Peak #StarWars ⭐
It is oh so breathtaking to see how Indara was the voice of reason all along, at every step of this chain of events she tried everything not to have this situation go badly.
Every choice made or action taken turned the outcome we know into a reality... Osha's will to leave the Coven and join the Jedi Order, Mae's complete refusal of it, Aniseya pressuring Torbin and him rushing into action, Koril adding fuel to the fire, Sol killing Aniseya and choosing Osha over Mae...
It would have been totally different if everyone had stayed in their place ; but it clearly looks like there was a superior will pulling these numerous strings... A.k.a. The Force.
Now the next question is... Who is #TheStranger (probably a rogue or not so rogue dark disciple ?), and what is The Twins' fate or purpose in the grand scheme of things ?
The way I see it is that there is a bigger power in place, a Sith Lord lurking in the shadows...
Why do we care about these twins. They do absolutely nothing lol
“I won’t hurt u I promise”
2 seconds later “ouch”
Sums up the story telling pretty well imo.
The funniest part had to be when Mother said "you shouldn't have come back Jedi" or something like that and then a minute later she's like "I was gonna let Osha go with you" lol...what!?? which is it?!? Also, by the way, your daughters could be burning alive inside and you're standing around outside talking. . .
Meaning the Jedi shouldn't have broken into the fortress. The Jedi should have waited for Osha to be brought to them.
@@davisjustin1313 The scene didn't read like that at all, with the delivery and the dialog, it felt awkward and contradictory, especially when the mine is on fire, Koril having told Mae to go wild and get mad, basically, and then they are just standing around with no idea where their daughters are. But you're right that's probably what the writer was thinking, just didn't convey it well. Her saying as soon as she saw the Jedi something like: "I was preparing to bring my daughter to you as she wished, but you've shown aggression and impatience, Jedi..." would have been better. And that would have given an opportunity for a reaction shot of Koril looking at Anasaya a certain way that shows she disagreed and there was still tension between them...
@@jeffreyroedel9804 I can agree with that.
@@davisjustin1313 the only reason the Jedi are even there are because the witch messed with the Padawan’s mind. He runs off. Sol follows. Then when they arrive at the facility, Sol can sense that Osha is in actual danger.
Kinda the witch’s fault. There is no clear sense of her actual intentions. Especially when you turn in to Dark Side smoke.
@ianbrittain9575 I don't think the witch still had influence on Torbin when he chose to speed off to the fortress. He was just so ready to get off the planet that he acted selfish and impulsive.
This episode so should've been titled "What I Told You Was True....From a Certain Point of View"
Indara can kill a squad of force witches, with her mind, but she can't stop a little knife from killing her? She’s either a super-powerful Sith or a drowsy monkey write this episode.
Also Sol can use one hand to hold half a heavy bridge and a second hand to hold up the other half! It seems that both hands can do 2 separate things with the force. Unfortunately Indara only had the one hand force ability, and as you say can only hold a small knife with the force.
To be fair.... (I don't like this show) ..... I don't think she knew that would happen when she was trying to break the trance.
@@dwarfpoacher It seemed to me that she broke their concentration which knocked them out and resulted in them dying in the fire. Korril and Mae escaped.
@@BoomSlang001 Then it's their fault hahaha. Shouldn't be using the dark side, tsk tsk
@@BoomSlang001 Oh yes you are probably right. I keep forgetting about all the flammable rocks in that place haha.
It seems that the concept behind this episode and indeed the show is expanding the universe of Star Wars and showing how other cultures would view and interact with the Jedi, and vice versa, as well as how misunderstandings and assumptions when different cultures collide can cause disastrous though unintended consequences. That concept, I believe, is interesting and was worth exploring in the world of Star Wars particularly because we're talking about whole GALAXY of worlds and cultures. That said, Kristian, you're right: the above is not the story that was pitched. This show was billed as an exploration of a dark apprentice and instead has turned into something completely different.
I really wished we got a whole story with the main characters as a Sith and an apprentice. Like even Palapatine and Darth Maul main story before episode 1 could have been better than this.
Palpatine's origin with Plagueis would be really nice (especially if it's book accurate).
Mystery Science Theatre 3000 would do a great job with this episode.
Riff Tracks would be better.
As a hardcore lifelong fan, Star Wars is f’ed. Dune Messiah needs to hold its ground in December 2025 and say “yeah good luck with your dumpster fire, we aint moving.” Iger needs to clean house or sell the property. Star Wars is for kids is the biggest bull crap and a cop out. Those kids grew up and we need something more mature and mentally stimulating. Not having content that caters to different ages is a huge loss of potential profit.
I totally agree with you. Thing is: They gave us Andor, which I really loved overall, but not a lot of people watched it from what I understand. I hope season 2 will bring more people if it’s great. That’s what I want more of (in terms of tone) personally. Not overly dark and serious like House of the dragons, but way more mature.
The fact that Andor even exists disproves the notion it's not just for kids. Let's be real for a sec, no 7 year old would enjoy Andor. That show is specially for adults. Therefore, Star Wars is not just a kids franchise.
Was waiting for this. This episode was rough. So the padwan is at fault but also was strong enough to hold a wookie lightsaber with his wrist and his saber. Idk man this is not a great show!
He was basically Leroy Jenkins in this episode
@@andersonuwpNot Leroy Jenkins 😂😂😂
I’m not saying you’re wrong about the show as a whole and I’m also not saying that scene made sense BUT there is a difference between physical and mental strength. He might be physically strong and dumb as a sheep at the same time.

@@TheTimplatte he was a boy compared to a full grown wookie. Wookiee are known to be stronger physically. Have you not seen how chewie throws Han idk man.
Where did the 180 million dollars go? Feels like money laundering
Oh, Leslie headland must have bought Epsteins Island with about 175M of the 180M total. This show is just trash.
@@zacharyp1089 I was gonna say they blew the budget partying in those hot springs from the Ach To ripoff island
Yoda just partying in downtown "Unknown Planet" caves hidden to all. Haha
what’s crazy to me is this show is literally 4 episodes cut up into 8. 1&2 3&7 4&5 6&8. The worst cuts to black i’ve ever seen
Sounds like The Acolyte Sith’s the Bed in Episode 7.
Harloff has the exact right attitude towards all of this: He’s not a hater. He’s not a pleaser. He’s the everyday man, whom tells his honest opinion straight-up 🙏👍 (that’s why I stick around)
Waste of time, could’ve all been revealed in Episode 3
Its literally a 2 hour movie padded and stretched into 8 episodes
Seriously or at least just wrap it up in 5-10 min MAX and get back to the story
Agreed this show is not what was originally pitched.
As soon as it said "Brendock: 16 Years Earlier", my brain checked out. Forward momentum just ain't this shows strong suit.
Every episode feels like an Act 1. They absolutely refuse to let the story progress or gain momentum.
Forward momentum isn’t a strong suit of LucasFilm either.
Loved the John Williams score over the credits, oh wait.
I thought this was an awful episode of TV
Always feel Kristian gives a really balanced view, says what he really thinks and he will openly discuss why.
What the fuck was that end credits song? It’s like they are PURPOSEFULLY trying to make it feel anti-Star Wars as possible!!!
Yeah probably
Lucasfilm has decided it needs to desperately appeal to younger viewers who apparently are not that into Star Wars. Everything about this show feels very CW…. The dialogue, the thirst trap with a shirtless Sith and then him and Osha making googly eyes at each other, and now even a pop song in the closing credits. I don’t think us Gen Xers and older millennials are gonna win this one. They know the future of Star Wars is about getting younger viewers to watch and that’s where we’re at.
Yeah, I read recently that GenZ does not care about Star Wars so I guess they’re gonna try and change it so they can get them on board. That awful song in the end credits was so jarring I couldn’t believe it. WTF? This just is not the Star Wars I grew up with. Oh well I guess nothing lasts.
Unless Star Wars becomes a Tik Tok or TH-cam brand. The younger generation won't care about it.
This flash back should of only been like 5 minutes... this reminds me of when you need to write a 20 page paper but only have enough research for 5 pages and try to come up with ways to stretch it out. Qimir is the only interesting character that is going to come out of this series (if they don't ruin him next episode... I'm concerned that Zabrak witch is going to be involved)
Haha! I did that in my early school years. Lots of adjectives. 😝
It’s becoming unforgivable what Disney has done to our beloved franchise. It’s truly wrong.
If someone says “Mama” in ear shot of me they are getting a fist to the throat.
Omg I was literally screaming at the tv, “SAY MAMA ONE MORE F-ING TIME!!” 😂😂😂
It made my skin crawl
HAHAHHAHA @@Haven6419
@@Haven6419😅😅😅
Mama! Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo, didn't mean to make you cry
I don’t know that it was bad, but we knew another flashback episode revealing what happened was coming.
I was so damn excited for this "dark side" show. What an absolute train wreck of a disappointment. I tried to be patient. All of the unnecessarily long drawn out build up to this episode and not only did it not answer ANYTHING it just raised EVEN MORE questions.
What exactly was the Mom doing before Sol stabbed her? Was it necessary to do so?
What was Torbin himself so guilty about that he was cool with drinking poison?
What was Torbins plan when he jetted off? Take some pics and send them to the council? Abduct the two kids by himself?
Indara murdered 50 witches just like that?!?! The power of mannnnyyyyy aint shit apparently
Mae SAW WITH HER OWN EYES Sol murdering their Mother, why would she not say that to Osha IMMEDIATELY during their talk.
Why was Sol so attached to a random child, it was starting to creep me out a bit.
The tiny fire Mae started caused those huge explosions in a place made of stone?
I can probably go on but I'm done
After Andor season 2 I don't know if I'm gonna watch Star Wars until Kathleen Kennedy is given the long deserved boot.
Sol and Indara got in a FIST FIGHT! Where the hell is that in the Jedi code? How did Sol pass his trials?
Star Wars ended in 2012. Time to let it go.
Mae : sets book on fire
Also Mae: omg this books on fire 😮
I've watched more coverage of the show than the show itself, am I alone?
nope. i only made it to episode 3
this show genuinely baffles me 😂 after an interesting episode and villain study last week we spend probably the first 2/3rds of this ep watching thing we literally already know. i’m with kristian, whoOoOoaAaAh lmaoo
180 million dollar show and we had to basically watch episode 3 again. What a waste.
Horrible writing. Not sure how nobody at Lucasfilm thought this was bad bad.
Like really bad
Dude drank poison for defending himself when the arrows came flying at him? Huh? Also, what in the actual crap was that song at the end? Wha? The Wookiee fight was good, at least. That kinda scar on dude's face, I would have thought it was much worse, though. I've seen worse from one punch from an MMA fighter lol. Wookiees are supposed to be able to rip your arms out of their sockets. He's got a couple scratches, and a black eye. Haha!
He drank poison because his immaturity and emotional state escalated the situation to a conflict needlessly, killing many who from their perspective were only defending themselves
@@lespaul5734Yeah but it doesn’t make sense why he drank the poison I thought he murder the witches bc the scar but turn out it wasn’t it make sense he felt guilty murdering a witch or something but nope he just wanting go home. It make sense if Sol drank the poison bc he actually murder an innocent person
@@jonathanmendiola3775 Sol reacted in the moment, made the wrong choice but battle was imminent. Its Torbin that caused this whole thing in the first place. It's a failure as a Jedi, plus he is responsible, indirectly or directly, for the death of many people.
He took the Barash Vow because he couldn't trust himself, or the Force after his failure. In adition to that, to he feels guilty for being responsible for all the deaths. He's more responsible for it than any of the other Jedi.
@@lespaul5734 Why wait so long, then? Does he not grow at all in 16 years? Especially after taking the Borash Vow? What happened doesn't justify him drinking poison, in my opinion.
@@PBuffdaddy00 The fact that he was still in the Barash Vow shows he hasn't moved past it. If he were fine, he would have forsaken it by now.
Whether or not you or I agree, what's clear is what the show is showing. He hasn't moved past it, he probably still feels guilt, doesn't trust himself and his connection to the force suffered from it. He drank the poison because he was confronted by one of the people he wronged, and she told him she'd forgive him. Giving him the absolution he seeks, through Mae and by dying.
2 flashback episodes is ridiculous. Did we even learn that much more in this episode that was worth re-exploring?
Mama, the fighting wasn’t worthwhile.
Ha
I can now confidently say The Acolyte is worse then Book of Boba Fett
I'm generally positive on all things Star Wars and this show has had some great moments. That said, so much of it makes no sense. Now that we finally see the whole story of Brendok, why would Torbin feel so guilty that he drank poison? Some weeks you get great direction, performances and dialogue (like in Episode 6) but the next week it's the opposite. Very uneven on all accounts.
Though this episode was extremely disappointing, it did explain that. He caused the whole thing by rushing off to gather up the “vergence” so he could go home to Coruscant. So lame.
As someone who loved the last two episodes and assumed the show was finally getting on the right track, this deflated me hard. All the build-up for such underwhelming answers. I have no issue with flawed characters, but the answers revolving around characters acting in the moment is super unsatisfying.
Loved the Wookiee. Loved the costumes. Loved the music. Loved the actors. The story is the weak link. Telling it out of order is annoying.
You loved the shit hip hop outro music? Star Wars has always been instrumental/symphony. It was shit.
Agree. Has potential, story done very poorly
@@zairman I didn’t listen to that song. I came back to listen to it. It was ok. I don’t hate it. I don’t love it.
I think this is the toughest issue for me. They waited until the penultimate (here’s lookin’ at you Ellis 😉) episode to make the reveal and it had built up so much momentum, I wasn’t sure it was going to live up to the reveal. And, I don’t think the reveal was bad at all, but it felt like the entire series was hinging on this and I don’t think it was enough.
It may have been better to reveal it closer to the midway point and explore the fallout of the reveal with Osha and Mae who then has to decide what to do. Embrace the Sith way? Find some way to grace and forgiveness? What are the consequences with the Jedi Order as a whole, etc, etc.
@@zairmanROTJ begs to differ.
let’s just say I’m just happy i was doing something else while watching so my time wasn’t fully wasted 😂
This series STOINKS.
Why was Sol so attached to Osha? He barely knew her and he could not tell them apart either.. 😬
Two episodes were left and they come up with this…. Thing. Also, can you detect a vergence with a metal detector or was it just like a special vergence detector? Should we tap into the Force to try to find the vergence? Don’t bother we have this detector. Give us a break.
Oh I thought it was a virgin’s detector!
It was so bad, it was actually funny. Possessed Wookie was hilarious and laughed out loud at Torbin's injuries at the end.
What was that MUSIC AT THE END?
This song thing was shocking. This REALLY seems blatantly changing and modernizing Star Wars for teenage girls.
This show makes The Book of Boba Fett look like The Empire Strikes Back.
Honestly, if this and the previous flashback had been episode 1, I probably would have liked the show more
My thoughts: Remember the old guy in the first Quite Place that Krasinski and his son come across who screams? Well, I think that old guy had just finished episode 7 of the Acolyte.
I totally agree with your opinion on this episode and with your analysis of the whole show! This show literally drains me each week!
I liked it, but I don’t see how this can all be wrapped up in the finale next week.
Take a drink everytime "mama" was said and you might end up dead or in a coma.
So Torbin decided to commit suicide for doing nothing wrong and watching Sol kill Aniseya? That was his guilt? What the f*** are Aniseya and Koril? They turned into dark spirits for a moment. This series needed more Carrie-Anne Moss. She was terrific here when given more work to do. Her jumping on Kelnacca was so Trinity.
Speeder bikes in a forest gave us Return of the Jedi vibes. We were robbed of more Indara and Kelnacca never getting a fight scene with Smilo Ren. Kelnacca was pretty much destroying Sol and Torbin before Indara saved them. Where’s Mantis when you need her?
This vergence created the twins? They weren’t born but artificially created? Same symbiont? Indara said the most important line explaining this confusion: Power was dense enough to split one consciousness into two bodies.
We honestly needed more Trinity in this series. She would’ve made it halfway decent. Such a ripoff she got killed in the opening scene and Kelnacca never getting a fight scene with Smilo Ren. Seemed like they added Lee Jung-jae’s voice later on. It didn’t seem like his voice matched the movement of his lips. His voice felt off. Maybe added later when his English had improved.
So the big bad moment for the Jedis was Sol kills Aniseya and Indara decided to lie about it. That still doesn’t explain why Torbin felt so guilty that he would commit suicide. And the only thing Indara did wrong was lie about it. Cover up Sol’s mistake. She wasn’t present when Sol killed Aniseya.
If Mae needed to kill someone, it should’ve been only Sol. Not Indara and Torbin. A couple of WTF moments but it still wasn’t a good episode. Props to Tommen Baratheon for swinging a lightsaber like that. Still had no shot beating a Wookiee Jedi.
One more episode to go. Then I can move from The Acolyte and The Boys S4 to focus on House of the Dragon S2 and Cobra Kai S6 Part I and watch Deadpool & Wolverine multiple times in the theater because it’s hot af around this month. I’ve already seen MaXXXine twice and The Bikeriders at least six times.
It's Disney Star Wars it needed a healthy dose of white guilt sprinkled in there, it's a mandate over at Lucasfilm
You think Torbin did “nothing” wrong?
@@tylerpifer5966 what did he do wrong? Please explain
@@IndianaJake Seriously? Did you actually watch the episode? What happened right after Torbin realized their DNA was exactly the same?
@@tylerpifer5966 why are you asking me questions instead of explaining your point?
The mandalorian Directors that Dave and John Use really can do lapse around the directors for this show
I think this was the worst episode yet, and the bar is pretty low to begin with. What a waste of time this show is.
I was actually enjoying the show for what it is until this latest episode. This is where everything fell apart for me, and I can’t believe the end credits music. It feels like they pieced this episode together the day they released it.
Yeah this was bad. And laugh out loud moment for me was Oscha saying twice, "Momma said..." I couldn't help busting out laughing cause I kept hearing Bobby Boucher.
I really enjoyed the episode, but my wife at the end said “we’ve already seen all that.”
I think it gave more context and perspective to what was going on. But I get her point
Why that one Jedi dude kill himself over this? 😂
EXACTLY!!!
@@TheKristianHarloffHe pretty much caused the downfall of the whole covenant
Though this episode was extremely disappointing, it did explain that. He caused the whole thing by rushing off to gather up the “vergence” so he could go home to Coruscant. So lame.
I thought that was ok being indirectly responsible for deaths and others having to live a lie. A person would be a mess misrepresenting himself like that.
I’m not usually nitpicky but in THIS particular episode I think they took the Jedi too far with the dishonesty and not well intentioned.
Every week, I ask myself...I wonder why Torbin drank the poison?...maybe he just wanted to leave the show lol.
Wow, what an episode! This is the first time in my life that I am dropping a show with one episode remaining. This was awful. The majority of the episode was the same thing we already saw, but from a different camera angle. The rest was either new stuff that didn't need to be shown or stuff that did not make sense and just was poorly portrayed. One thing did surprise me though, I never expected end credits music to any show making me like I've been kicked while being down. May be a good song, I don't care, but I don't think it fits for Star Wars.
They should have just dumped this all at once man . The cartoon cat wrote this episode he’s back .
I actually liked it but I get that we already knew for the most part what was going to happen. There were some scenes that were new and interesting. The fight scenes are always really good.
How about that pop song in the credits though!? (Note: sarcasm heavy)
I legit asked myself a few times if I had seen this episode already
I’m with you, it was bad bad😬Lucasfilm needs to reevaluate after this show.
Oh and when the pop song played in the credits😂
As Han once said, “That’s not how the force(Star Wars) works!”
"We didn't start the fire!" - The Jedi
It all came together, and everything makes sense now....😂😂😂😂
The Power of two is a banger during the end credits
Pleas NEVER stop saying what you think! Stay genuine!
Dude, someone tampered with this script. How else does something this poor come out. I mean total nose dive from the already iffy first 6 episodes. No way these half baked ideas were filmed without more that got cut out. Oof. Made me sad.
DEI Forced-Hirong of Talentless Fools who Just Happe. Tnchecknboxes for Race, orientation, Gender & etc... Instead ofnhirngvthe best people fr the jobs.
The fact that Headland was planning for a season 2 means next week’s episode will reveal little.
When is award season again? That Zabrak Witch mother has got to be nominated for something with those acting chops. Wtf was that?
So bad
I thought the last two episodes were pretty decent, but this one was bad. Character decisions that make no sense, awkward dialogue, and I've seen no reason why all this had to be structured like a mystery.
This STOINKS!!!!!!
Haha
@@TheKristianHarloff like bless the guy’s heart, Sol feels a connection with Osha through the force but somehow continues to not be able to tell the twins apart even though only one of them has a face tattoo.
I have been 100% in agreement with you on this show.
