[@collegebro85]

The 3rd episode was meant to show the Jedi’s perspective (what Osha was told had happened)…but this episode showed the actual events as they truly happened.

[@christianwise637]

Between The Last Jedi and this series, I've come to the conclusion that an alarming number of people have never heard of Rashomon, let alone seen it

[@ShadowArtist]

Mae totally misunderstood what Mother Aniseya was saying about fear and sacrifice, my interpretation is that Aniseya was saying that Mae and Osha "sacrifice" a part of themselves such as giving up a personal want to grow into leaders of the Coven, as well as giving up fear, not letting fear influence them. Mae misquoted Aniseya in saying "everyone must be sacrificed" when that isn't what Mother Aniseya said at all. Mother Aniseya was shadow teleporting and Sol over-reacted. **The lamp was oil lamp and that spread to first part of the fire, the rest of the fire was the old electrical wiring in the door spreading the fire through the walls all the way to the power generator...**

[@B3J2AL]

Oh, wait - even if the witches were unconscious, they would still be killed by the fire.

[@wilhelmhedin8845]

Great episode. Crazed wookie, night sisters and a force split soul. Hell yeah.

[@icehawk86]

If we got this episode in the beginning, we would be going the whole show knowing what happened and watching Sol wanting to tell Osha. This now proves that Sol and Torbin are mostly at fault. Sol has lied on so many levels, actively chose Osha over Mae. Tobin was so easily manipulated and his eagerness to leave is what kicked off the catastrophe, Indara is the one is created the lie for Mea and hid everything from the council (which is a theme in this whole show). I actually understand Mea more because she watched Sol kill the mother while unarmed. Plus, the fire was destroying the power lines around the door. That seems to be what set off the major explosions.

[@yodasoda6372]

We know that Qimir desires a Padawan, and if he knew these girls had that much power in them, that's exactly the kind of Padawan he might want. Maybe the whole danger around the girls that Sol sensed was just Qimir. He could have taken advantage of the mistakes the Jedi made. Realistically, he could have just stood by and then grabbed a padawan falling from the sky. Or he could have thrown wood on the fire, the explosions were quite numerous, at one point exploding all over the place. When Sol confronted Qimir in episode 5, we know he sensed something familiar. Perhaps Qimir is not connected to the Order, at least when Sol was there, but he felt the same danger as he did on Brendok.

[@njebei]

I keep thinking this would be a better show without the flashbacks. Show the audience the truth from the beginning from Sol's perspective in episode 1 or 2. The audience knows why Sol is feeling guilty as he's trying deal with Mae's reappearance.

[@Skye_Writer]

Given exactly WHAT Sol saw -- Aniseya "attacking" the children in particular -- it's understandable that he feared for the girls' safety. And then when Korril readied herself to strike at Torbin, he saw Aniseya disintegrating into smoke and taking Mae with her, so it's understandable that he misread what she was doing. What WE see is slow-motion, but for him it would have been happening incredibly fast. He acted on instinct to protect the child. It is interesting to me, though, that he misidentified Mae as Osha in the moment she came calling to her mothers for help.

[@LoveThisRealWoman]

[@benjaminsehr2566]

[@RyeBread116]

I wish we had two more episodes of this to explain the ending We need one to explain how Qimir is involved (I am guessing he was a padawan of Vanestra and he finds out what happened on Brendock and confronts her when she tries to cover it up leading to him leaving the order) and then one of the confrontation of Mae/Sol and Qimir/Osha

[@bluesorcerie7816]

Are we supposed to assume Mae teleported and that's how she survived? Is that what that black smoke stuff was about?

[@tamelaculp57]

"That's not how you do it Leroy Jenkins!" has me screaming!!! 🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣

[@ECA2]

It seems the council was right both times. Mae and Osha resulted in a dozen Jedi being killed by Qimir; and Obi-Wan following Qui Gon's request, which resulted in Anakin being manipulated by Palpatine (Darth Sidious), and becoming Darth Vader. The council was trying to forsee the long-term outcome. In each case, individuals took the course that altered those favorable outcomes and resulted in the eventual decline of the Jedi.

내 생각에는 Jedai가 감정을 통제하기 시작한 것이 이 사건 때문인 것 같다. 에피소드 초반에, Indara와 Sol의 대화에서, Padawan을 대하는 방식에 대한 의견이 서로 달랐던 것을 보면 이것을 알수있다. Sol은 자신이 보았던 정보와 임무의 숭고함에만 의존하여 모든 것을 판단했고, 감정에 치우쳐 일을 그르쳤다. 결국 16년 후에, 이 사건 때문에 그가 광선검을 쓰는 것을 주저하고, 생각을 읽는 일을 기피하거나 (또는 제대로 생각을 읽지 못하게) 되었을 것이라고 생각한다. 그는 처음에 Osha와 Mae가 바뀐 것도 알아채지 못했다.

[@ValyrianPrince]

The thumbnail 😂

[@auntvesuvi3872]

Thanks to Robert and Vanessa! 🌑 The "we must be sacrificed" misquote little 'Mae' relayed to 'Indara' and 'Sol' had a huge impact. They literally thought the girls would be sacrificed. 'Aniseya' actually said, "It is about sacrificing a *part* of ourselves". 🔸 It's also wild to learn that 'Sol' was imposing his own wants (to have a Padawan... even though he might not be ready) onto the situation... and he even almost lost his temper on 'Indara' at the end. That shows a very un-Jedi-like conflict that adds to his motivations. 🔸 Ms. Headland says she doesn't like ending a series on a cliffhanger, so she made sure to end this one in a satisfying way. Hopefully, we'll feel that next week.

[@GattsBerserkArmor]

This was a series of fuck ups.🙃 Sol: let his prejudice over the coven bring the Jedi to meddle and investigate them.😐 Torbin: gets so afraid after being mind controlled than goes ballistic over the possibility of leaving the place using Osha and Mae as evidence of a vergence.😳 Toril: also goes ballistic. Inciting Mae to attack Osha and she was likely the one who put the fortress into self destruction mode. Her smile while she disappeared was most telling.😳 Mae: she did started a fire but lost control of it and she also incited the witches to fight.😲 Aniseya: she was way too passive and lost control of both Mae and Torill, and the coven in the process. 😳 Sol: fucks up again by confusing Aniseya's gesture as one of attacking while Torbin and Korill are facing each other.😨 Kelnacca: learns nothing from Torbin's failure and end up mind controlled. Forcing Torbin and Sol to hold their hits until Indara arrives to undo the mind control, killing the dozens of witches that were controlling them.😨 Indara: After being the voice of reason before and right after Sol finally comes to his senses she decides the best course of action is to hide the evidence and use Osha as a excuse?😨 And Let's not forget that Toril likely rescued Mae and led her to her revenge path with the Sith Qmir. After all there was no one else on the planet.😱

Torbin and Sol gave into their fear and desires. I understand why the Jedi did what they did, but they used Osha's feelings as an excuse. They didn't want to face the consequences of their action. As Palpatine told Anakin, all who hold power are afraid to lose it. The council would have punished them all for this failure.

[@JohnRaptor]

Did you recognize your fellow KZbinr?

[@dygz]

But they did show us different perspectives of the same incident. I didn’t mind seeing the same scenes again with more filled in. We were intended to hold out hope that this Jedi team were complete saints and empathize with Osha’s perspective for as long as possible and for Mae’s motivation to be a mystery for as long as possible. Kelnacca’s death hits harder when we don’t know why Mae would want to kill him. And it helps us anticipate that maybe Mae is driven by corruption from the Dark Side and entirely a mission from her Master, rather than Qimir just showing her a way a non-Jedi way to harness power. Were intended to think of Qimir as a Sith who of course wants to destroy all Jedi. But… now we can see that’s not really the case. Or at least not quite the case. Qimir was not really using Mae to kill Jedi. Qimir was teaching Mae his personal style of wielding the Force to help her fulfill her own vendetta. Qimir has no qualms about killing Jedi if they threaten him (or Mae), but it’s not the same thing as a pure EVIL Sith motivation. Seeing this after Teach/Corrupt definitely changes my interpretation of that episode from my perception that Qimir was completely motivated by a desire to corrupt Osha. Now it seems like he was “honestly” just trying to teach her a non-Jedi method of harnessing the Force. Kind of similar to the Witches. I also like having a suspicion, for several episodes, that maybe Indara is as culpable as Sol is or as Torbin feels he is. Once Torbin drinks the tincture Mae gave him, we surmise that Indara’s entire team might have done something wrong. Though it seems as though Sol only has good intentions. And we kind of hope Kelnacca only had good intentions. Better to delay that resolution until after Qimir’s attempted seductions of Osha. And delay the revelation that the whole team does not equally share the blame nor should they all equally feel guilt over what transpired. Also, having repeated scenes in a later episode does save me the effort of reviewing a previous episode to see how all the pertinent scenes match up. This flow of info keeps us firmly grounded in Osha’s perspective, rather than Mae’s perspective. We’ll have to see how Osha learns the full truth.

The fire went into the pipes and electronics of the old mining facilities and blew the old machinery. One little three-second camera shot of the fire in the pipes could have shown that. As for the show, I like the story and lore beats, but the execution is clunky. Hire Professionals to run your shows, not film school hipsters... That's where the Roshoman technique came from and you're right that it was a bad choice. It doesn't help this show that House of Dragon is putting out an amazing textbook on how to do a streaming show. Disney needs to stop releasing cut up movies and pace their shows like real television.

With only one episode left, I'm convinced this would've worked better as a movie. They dragged the mystery too much, in the end it wasn't impactful at all.

[@coreyschleder8418]

It could have. Start with the Qimir scene as a voice over. Do the indara fight then blend the necessary stuff from ep 3 one Osha meets the image. Trim and adjust the rest and you could probably pull around 3 hours. Or even condense into 4 hour-ish episodes.

So in my mind there is always going 2b a level of corny-ness & bad writing/acting involved. However I don't see/hear 12 year olds online complaining only "adults" I respect everyones opinion but I have to always be mindful of that...

This kind of Darkness probably wasnt what Lucas had in mind when did star wars. The witches came much later and well the powers have a dark side look and so its kinda an accident that sith like to cause so the Sisters and Jedi faith never became an alliance

[@NeterRafi77]

Stop justifying bad writing, story sucks balls. 🗑writing

[@Greenhawk4]

to be fair when there are witches and the word sacrifice would you really think it meant something else?

[@KarazolaX]

Literally anyone would have made the same assumption. The witch made no attempt to clarify what she was going to do. It looked absolutely demonic and they should have been wholly aware of what would have happened. She put the Jedi in a position where he thought he was saving a child from a gruesome fate. Her fault 100% not even an argument.

[@SFAutor]

Episode 7 was another plot disaster. The entire story has plot holes like a Swiss cheese. Two examples (of many) in episode 7, Sol used the force to hold the two parts of the broken bridge the girls were standing on until he gave up and sacrificed May. Why the hell didn't he just hold the two girls with the Force and let the bridge collapse? If I was a jedi, I would have come up with the idea, obviously not the script writers. Then the weird fight where the witches kept firing knives at Torban, all of which he fended off, but not one of them at Sol or Trinity. Does that make sense? Not to me. The whole show is completely amateurishly realised and in this episode we've seen at least 50% of what was in a previous episode. So my final question: Where did the budget of 160M USD go?

[@Bottlekap]

Darth trinity disconnected the coven from the matrix, Sol couldn't hold two children up with the force (but held the bridge they were standing on up), and Torbin killed himself because he was homesick. The pinnacle of storytelling.

[@Greenhawk4]

He offed himself because what happened was literally his fault. Also I'm pretty sure the witches died because she interrupted the ritual or whatever it was.

[@Bottlekap]

@@Greenhawk4 the fact no one even stopped him from getting on the speeder (and sparing us the awful speeder green screen scene) is embarrassing. “Torbin no don’t go, stop!… oh. I guess us 3 Jedi masters have no way of subduing a rogue padawan.” He killed himself out of guilt, I get that’s the story being told. But that is hilariously awful storytelling. The actress for Aniseya delivering the awful dialogue she was provided with is literally the only bright spot in this episode. That, and without context the choreography for the fight scenes were also nice to watch.

[@Greenhawk4]

@@Bottlekap How is it bad storytelling when it makes sense? Also in a alot of movies, shows and games there is always something obvious that could have been done but wasn't.

[@Bottlekap]

@@Greenhawk4 obvious things that happen occur often in storytelling. That’s how you end up with “well if x happened and caused y we wouldn’t have a story”. My problem with this episode, and this series as a whole, is that this crutch is leaned on so many times. Yes we could watch this together and we can say “ah yes this is why that happened”. That doesn’t make the story coherent, or good. This is obviously just my opinion but “this had to happen or the plot wouldn’t make sense or couldn’t move forward” happens so many times in this show that it’s almost insulting. This is often a massive problem amateur or fanfic writers run into. I won’t even get into my other problems with the show because the writing is my biggest problem. I’m not looking for Tolkien, but I am looking to feel like my time investment in viewing this story is rewarding. The only reason I’m watching now is to either hope something ties it together acceptably, and to at least personally feel I have a valid opinion since I’m at least watching it before giving that opinion.

[@Greenhawk4]

@@Bottlekap props to you for actually watching it before you give your opinion. I respect it.

If you notice, the fire speaded through the electrical wires. Those pass through probably the whole place causing the fire to spread faster.

[@NeterRafi77]

Not a single good male. Sol is not smart at all. Why would you kill the witch?????

[@leojs5673]

im surprised anybody still bothers with that mess of a franchise that star wars is and always has been

[@allenparker7142]

A Wookiee Jedi looking for a Vergence in the Force with a metal detector. What a joke!

[@talon7274]

He was looking for the 180 million budget?

[@IsiahBradley]

THANKS for this, LttP!!!! Help me love #TheAcolyte, folks!!!!

[@scotte3812]

Laziest writing in a penultimate episode. These D+ Star Wars shows have been disappointment after disappointment.

[@paulitik7]

Outside of a couple good action scenes, this show is just boring. Every potentially interesting character is wasted, falls into the trope of focusing the story on the annoying, uninteresting “chosen “children. It’s just literally double downing on what made the Phantom Menace terrible. There’s literally no surprises. Or what should be a surprise is not remotely interesting. It’s just all around bad.

[@Pamela-Captain-Peeps]

Ughhh I was soooooo bored and am so bummed out at this. I’m trying so hard to like it but…. So disappointed

[@adenlycosky]

Feels like some writer pitched this idea. You know how people were kinda put off by the whole ray and kilo force bond. Well ibhabe this amazing idea to make them think that was actually cool by wasting 180million dollars to make something horrible so that looks spectacular. So much missed opportunity just playing off the idea of twins conciebed through the force who took different paths only to meet face to face 16 years later. Sol is so unsympathetic with his jealousy and forced connection to a child he has no idea about just from following them. Sigh. Such potential with the idea. Total miss with the writing

[@kain772]

She's way above your pay grade dude. Make her breakfast 😂

[@Lowkeyakari1153]

Damn episode 5 was really the ONLY good episode 😵‍💫

[@happytrails151]

Last two episodes brought the show down. I liked it decently up until then. Episode 7 is shockingly inconsequential. Everything that was added didnt give a single "wow" moment or relevation. Its a show that lacks any kind of courage to make a firm statement or commit to a theme
