eh? they are not the same person? not triplets?

I love a lot of what they’re giving us with this show but I do feel like the short episode lengths are doing it a disservice. I really wish we had hour long episodes so we could really get into it - it feels like we’re just skimming the top. That’s the only thing I’ve struggled with. Or like you said, a 2 hour movie.

How do you kill a Jedi without a weapon? By turning them into a Sith

Thank you, gentlemen, for being a refuge for those of us who enjoy SW content and wait until a series is DONE to judge it

No it is not that famous Kel Dor Jedi Master Plo Koon from Dorin, although the character that you saw was also a Kel Dor specie from planet Dorin. It's a female Jedi Knight by the name of Ithia Paan. Jedi Knight Ithia Paan wore brown Jedi apparel with gold accents, and wielded a lightsaber with a green blade. Like the majority of Kel Dor outside of Dorin, Jedi Knight Ithia Paan wears an antiox breath mask due to her Kel Dor physiology.

I love the venom movies, I not the observational, movie critic type. But they are fun to watch for me 😊

I have a feeling kalnakka is gonna be in a flashback in the next ep showing other sides of what happened when mae and osha were kids. There's still a lot unknown about what happened during that incident. They blame Mae and the lit book but there has to be more and we'll see it before the season ends.

Best reactions😂

Every time they said Bazil, I thought of Manuel in Fawlty Towers calling for his pet rat, named after Basil Fawlty :)

Other force users that refer to the "force" as something else and not calling it the "force" or not realizing its the same thing is actually a really interesting idea for this franchise. Like how different cultures have different gods or views of spirituality.

That “Sith” is a woman

The end of the Episode , 1 vs the Many, So yeah I feel this could be Mother Koril and she has no love for Osha hence force pushing her away, although I would have thought she would have killed her with the saber if it was, Unless it's Mother Aniseya and she faked death, she created the twins, it wasn't said how so maybe she can stop people from dying in this case herself, in some down the road Darth Plagueis type of deal.

People need to understand everything can not be like the originals or even the prequels.. there are different stories in the SW universe.

I agree with Adam. I think it's the surrogate mother, as we never saw that particular Witches body as far as I can remember. I think it's too obvious with Qimir, and who could have saved Mae when she fell all those years ago if not Mother Koril?

Love everything you guys do! Please take the time to rewatch (on your own time) the Obi-Wan series as a 2.5 hour movie. If you research “Obi-Wan Kenobi, The Patterson cut”. This fan made version is 100% better than Disney+. Keep on being positive and awesome muchachos

Great reaction! I agree with all of the points you guys made afterwards.

14:22 - I think she had been thinking of doing that the whole time, she just needed to be led most of the way there. 16:04 - Lost a wookie but gained a bazil😊.

Yes, that is Ki-Adi Mundi, but that is not Plo Koon. That character is a female and her name is Ithia Paan, she’s a Kel-Dor like Plo Koon

Its not a quick 180 when your whole young adult life you were told your sister was dead, killed by jedi, and then you see her with your own eyes...context much

Agustin, I am sure we will see the wookie jedi in another flash back. The jedi on the mission has the wrong lightsabre color to be Plo Koon.

I recall in one teaser trailer a two second clip of our Wookie Jedi fighting another Jedi in the witches domain. Something tells me at least he got taken over and things didn't go well for all. I can't remember but at the end of episode 3 when Osha was being comforted on the ship, if the wookie was in frame.

Seems like most fans want the same stories told over and over and over again. I can’t tell you how many channels I’ve had to delete from my recommended do to the vitriol.

Well said, Hector. When I rewatched Kenobi at one time, it was a much better experience. My one critique of the show is that the dialogue is very clunky. It feels more in line with a fan film than a premium series on a leading streamer. But, at the end of the day, it’s more Star Wars and that’s a good thing.

Guys I am dissipointed ... You dont know "Who's the Master?" its "sho Nuff!" lol IYKYK

It is a refuge indeed friends.

Qimir is the Acolyte and he's the one trying to kill a Jedi without a weapon. He asked Osha if it was cheating if you used the Jedi's lightsaber, because that's what he's doing by using Osha to kill for him.

I think people's feeling that Mae's switch came out of nowhere is what this show is doing so well - it's really revealing our preconceived notions about what is happening and what people's intentions are. We see red lightsaber and black cloak and immediately assume 'sith', we see Mae learning from them and immediately assume 'Mae wants to be a sith and gain power and control through the dark side', we see Mae attacking a Jedi 'for no reason' at a bar and assume she's just killing random jedi because that's what sith do, and we see her liking the witches who we assume to be evil dark siders because they aren't jedi despite the fact we never see them do a single dark side or harmful thing. (and by 'we' I mean people who are giving in to those preconceived notions and holding to them despite the evidence rather than interrogating their assumptions) Mae didn't kill a single civilian in the bar - she was ONLY going after Indara - whom she believed murdered her entire family. In any other property, someone getting justice by hunting down those who killed their family would be considered a protagonist who's murder is at least justified by the narrative. She even sat down and talked with Torbin and he killed himself - no mind tricks necessary, just him facing his own guilt - so Mae has some truth to her belief the Jedi did something wrong on Brendok. People keep pointing to 'she wanted to kill Osha last episode!!' yet those were the words of an 8 year old terrified her family was being ripped apart AND very clearly from Osha's POV which I have a feeling was skewed. If her whole deal was she didn't want Osha taken away from her, why in the world would a grown ass Mae now want to kill her sister she's just found out is alive and there's the chance they can be together again? I think our preconceived notion is that anyone on the 'darker' side of the force will only have their emotions lead them to doing bad things rather than good, but love can lead people back to the light and away from the darkness too (hello Darth Vader). I just think it's great that the show is really just handing us situations and not really making it clear 'these good guys - root for them no matter what; those bad guys - they're bad no matter what' but rather just saying 'yup - these are things that are happening. Messy, huh? Let's see what they do about it'

Great reaction

Thanks for adding positivity and constructive criticism to the Star Wars community. We are sick of hate.

What's interesting to me is that I like everything about this show except for the acting and storytelling lol The show looks great (except for bearded Torbin, he looked baaad and I didn't like the Sith design, his head is huuuuge and makes his shoulders look tiny, that helmet somehow reminds me of a toned down and kinda boring version of the dude from Chainsaw Man... you knwo, the one with the chainsaw?!). I also really like the worldbuilding it does, but the acting feels so chopped up, it doesn't flow, it doesn't feel real. Compare that acting to what we see on House of the Dragon or The Bear, to me it feels like there's no connection between the actors and their characters, it's just not good. And the storytelling so far is a bit boring. I wait for the show to really grab me, I hope it will and that the story is good enough in the end that I will be like "the first 4 episodes felt a bit lame but now it makes sense". It's fine Star Wars content and seeing a different era is fun, even though it would've been great to see more technological differences to Episode 1 but whatever. I'm looking forward to the next episodes.

Also, I love that Rue from The Hunger Games is now a freaking Jedi

You guys should see Dafne Keen in the His Dark Materials TV show from BBC.

Completely agree with you about how the cut these episodes. I do feel like they do write these as a long movie and just say cut here, cut here, cut here. It annoyed me in this episode, because like Adam I wanted that pay off to the tension that was building up. It was like we got to the climax of the moment and then it dissipated and it was annoying. That being said, I enjoyed the episode and Im enjoying Acolyte. Also completely agree with needing beefier episodes. I wish they would just have 45 minutes and fill those 45 minutes with content. I think it could help with some of the pacing issues. And they need to stop establishing time. Mae mentioned they only had 3 hours til night but Sol and team come much later and they meet at Kelnacca's hut. And I just want to say that I really appreciate the way you all discuss this. You have your gripes about the story, pacing etc but you do it in a positive manner. You're one of my go to channels after a Star Wars show airs because of this.

Luckily we will get to see Wookie lightsaber in flashback

Don’t get the short comment in episode length last 3 were 40 plus minutes like any other hour standard tv show on tv while this was the shortlist at 34 minutes like this been the most constant with good length

My biggest issue with the show is I just don’t care about any of the characters…the writing is so surface level….feels like they are trying to sell this big surprise twist at the end but it’s predictable and I just dont care :(

I love this channel because not only the Mexican like me (even adopted familia Adam ), but you guys just bring an enthusiasm in watching these shows. I don’t get the hate. I read the high republic novels and comics, and enjoying this show. But I’m viewing it from a perspective as these shows are for younger audience like my daughter who loves it.

What I find really funny about all the hating and "oh no they are changing to Lore", I'm 57 I was there in '77 (UK) when Star Wars first came out and when the Prequals came out, we all went "oh no they are changing to Lore, Anakin is meant to be evil". Yet those who grew up with the Prequals accept Anakin more readily...... Now the "Lore" seems to be shifting again and newer fans are upset. This is what Stars Wars does, suck it up

I don't particularly love this show. The writing and acting aren't really up to snuff imo (except sol who is a treat). But that's where it ends, I don't understand that hatred. Like if u don't like it just move on to something else. I might finish up the show just to give it a chance and finish what I started.

I'm normally in agreement with you about not piling on these shows with all the hate. Been happening for a long time now. But I've actually been pretty disappointed in this one. I think it's okay to hold these writers and actors to a higher standard than what is being put out. There are people farming hate engagement, but there are also companies farming views with subpar material because they know you love the name. This show is okay-ish if you follow all the insider news about what they are planning with the perspectives, but if you don't know that, the show isn't properly setting that up. And honestly, a lot of the acting is pretty subpar, the writing really clunky in places and the few really cool moments are overshadowed by long stretches of nothing. I think some of the critical feedback about this show is justified, although that isn't true of everything that's been coming out.

“Red Shirt” reference 😂 My thoughts every time I see unarmed people in sci fi 😅

I think the season is going to end with the Jedi misled about the situation. They’ll think it was just a random force user, when it was really the birth of the Sith of the saga.

This show would've vastly benefitted from a binge drop instead. We're just getting 8 weeks of negativity and the mystery aspect of the show is making people coming at this show in bad faith be able to come up with more and more nonsensical reasons why the show is breaking canon or "doesn't make sense". Plus waiting a week for 26 minutes of story flat out sucks

The Haters of this show just want to generate clicks $$$$$$ there aim in my view is to manipulate and influence Star Wars fans towards there narrative. There stuck in the past with the original trilogy and unless George Lucas brings in the ideas they refuse to let anyone else bring new ideas. The reality is that it’s Science Fiction not real life 😂.

Thank you for being a voice of reason in social media. Love your reactions and discussions!

Whats the matter guys? You didn't like seeing the Jedi hiking through the woods all episode? By the way, the writers wanted to use YODA instead of Mundi in the show, but Dave Filoni said No. Dave saved Yoda's entire character integrity with that one. But here's my ultimate gripe with the show...it seems like the show is trying to bend Star Wars to fit their story, instead doing the research and creating a story to reinforce the tone set by future SW events (Ex: Tales of the Jedi). This just feel likes the "Secret Invasion" show all over again, where in that show they created this OP character that really shouldnt exist. My point is that the nuisance of good writing is to blend things into a story seamlessly. This show is failing to do that so far. But there's still 4 eps right??

13:44 So Mae just suddenly switches her whole motivation in a blink? Bad storytelling and definitely not an earned moment for the character.

"A white guy in Episode 4. Maybe AntiSJWs will calm down a bit 😂" I said when I saw the Jedi Master at the start 😂

The fact that people who like the show are being attacked by the mindless parrot just proves AntiSJWs don't matter. Can't wait for the next episode ❤

I think the show is ok. Disappointing but ok. This is the second time they kill a main character too early. First with Indara 5 minutes into the show, then Kelnacca. Wasted opportunity. If budget was the issue, Kelnacca is a more exciting character than Torbin! They could have made the 2 Torbin scenes into 1 and keep the fight between the Sith Lord and Kelnacca.
