"Think of diving into a great ocean" Padawan on Coruscant: "What's an ocean?"

[@KyleKatarnChannel]

🤣😭

[@bursegsardaukar]

Sol: A place where squid lives...

[@Skye_Writer]

This is my moment to say, "Um, Actually...there _is_ an ocean on Coruscant." Well, a sea, anyway...the Great Western Sea. In Legends continuity ti was the only body of water still visible on Coruscant, and in canon continuity it supposedly is a long way from the Jedi Temple. But it is there, and I would expect the children learn about it the same way we learn about our own oceans and seas in geography class. I would expect, too, that being in touch as they are with the living Force, they might even take a field trip there to learn about the sea life.

[@BravoDox]

@@Skye_Writer That seems unlikely? If only the tip of Coruscant's highest mountain is visible, how could a sea also be visible? I would have assumed that if there was an ocean on Coruscant, it would be somewhere below the metropolis level.

[@a.morphous66]

@@BravoDox It's artificial, unfortunately, at least in Legends.

[@bryannkam]

Fun Fact: Carlac is the planet that Ahsoka and Lux went to meet with Death Watch, meaning this is the planet that first introduced Bo-Katan.

[@Itta_Pupu]

You two and Blind Wave are the real gems of the Star Wars fandom. Creating a space to just nerd out on any new Star Wars content, love it. This show is great by the way too! Can’t wait to get some answers, and the choreography is top notch too. Love the use of wires to emphasize the force.

[@varunvijay9293]

I also really like Star wars explained. These three are really nice to watch since they like to see the positives of star wars content and it's just fun watching them geek out

[@DarksideGmss0513]

Because careful you'll get called a shill for liking these guys because you can't forget Kyle was invited by Disney for an advanced screening

[@ozyramirez8758]

Second this!!

[@luisalvarado945]

And whats awesome about this space, is even if you disagree with the content no one fights about it and it is a decent discussion which is refreshing

[@AirbenderHawk]

Indeed!

[@Ghostwhite1014]

The pilot droids turning into seats were sick!

[@endorparkranger4544]

I believe Mae saw Indara use the force to save the woman she threw off the balcony, that told her how distract her from the fight at hand.. as they said later, everyone has a weakness

[@artiemedley9369]

Thank you for being true fans. It's so nice to hear someone NOT complain that there was fire in space. Who gives a crap? Your appreciation of the practical effects, the score, and the new stuff introduced is refreshing. Keep up the great work!

[@jasonmarbach]

Thanks for the reactions guys, can’t wait to watch the rest with y’all

[@christiantorre1]

One of the best parts of a new Star Wars show is more Kyle / Bendu reactions 😭🙏

[@MarkSmith-vo1vn]

The thing I find strange is that they reacted to this 4 times, and act like it’s there first

[@tamiasrodentia21]

You guys are literally the only SW KZbin channel that I watch. I really appreciate the lorebeard knowledge and the lack of toxicity with you guys

[@Nalpha]

i also recommend Blind Wave. They do Star Wars reactions on their second channel called Wave Squadron. Very smart, zero toxicity and very big fans of Star Wars and the lore too!

[@jaredlynch150]

[@rikisulung9121]

U need to watch @louisejulie reactions too

[@Tuleinaarii]

Kyle Katarn & Blind Wave. The Reel Rejects and Heroes Reforged are fun too.

[@kereminde]

@@Nalpha I've said that before there - they're not toxic, but they do have moments where they go "I didn't like that as much", they just try not to hammer on negativity. If they *really* don't enjoy a series, they will abandon it (and have done so twice to my knowledge) rather than hate-watch through it.

[@BaronesaReturns]

I am really digging this series. So many questions... and i need MORE now...

[@kalh4907]

Solid start to an intriguing series. Loved the heavy practical alien presence, choreography, fast pacing and the shrouded mysteries already enveloped in the overall plot. I could nitpick on the CGI of that ship crash but that’s a very very minor tiniest criticism. I look forward to the entire series and we are in a privileged golden aged time to receive so much visual SW lore content! All the misogynistic/racist/phobic haters/doomers in every fandom just proves that those of us who truly appreciate sci-fi and fantasy rich content are eager, open & so welcoming. The cream of the crop gems of reactions are certainly you two: Kyle & The Bendu ♥️ THANK YOU. ♥️ P.S. Happy Birthday youngling! 🎂

[@MrTragedious986]

I’m loving the end of the High Republic era feel in this one since there’s a lot of signs that they are going to the Fall of the Jedi Order era.

[@dungeonmaster16]

If true rhat if get more seasons they will do time jumps. So each season will get closer to events of phantom menace. Fans hope by then we see a young palpatine and possibly plaguis. If so then the finale should be palpatine fully joins the senate and his grand scheme begins.

[@stmtom2811]

Episode two is when I really got sucked in.

[@princessoscar3089]

OMG YES FINALLY THE BEST REACTORS ARE HERE!!!

[@benjaminportilla9297]

I love that they don't mess around with Master Sol doubting Osha. She says she didn't do it and that Mae is alive, and he knows her well enough to know (at least she believes) that it's true. I think Master Indara knows the second knife is coming and that it'll be a kill shot, but looking at her face in the moment, she's making a choice to save the barkeep instead of herself. I know from the trailers that we'll see more of her in flashbacks showing the traumatic event that was covered up by the four Jedi that leads to Osha joining the order. Watching your reactions to this reminds me of how I feel when I rewatch something cool with a friend who hasn't seen it. So even though you guys have seen these already, thanks for sitting through it again with us and still being so excited to share it with your viewers.

[@auntvesuvi3872]

Many thanks to Kyle, Bendu and Nerd Chronic! 🌑

@@stevena.7022 very weird that your mind came up with that. Perhaps you shouldn’t be around animals.

[@betaich]

HI Kyle regarding your nitpik with the second knife, after I thought about it for a while now I think Master Indara knew what could happen but made a choice to safe the innocent and not act in preserving herself

[@susanwitkowski5802]

I agree!

[@hyphernoob]

Master Kyle, Remember that... Filoni has said that "No one ever dies completely in Star Wars"

[@AmanCreatesArt]

I didn’t know how much I needed the opening text read in old-timey newsreel voice until you did it! 😃

[@IronDad-ml3wq]

Your read of the opening text was fire hahahaha :D

[@jasonmarbach]

I already posted this comment lots of places, I know (including the discord and on the patreon vid), so forgive me, but I want to say again: Sol is already one of my favorite Jedi of all time, and I absolutely love the way they’re portraying Yord as more akin to prequel era Jedi: vain, a little arrogant, possibly corruptible, and quick to violence and drawing his saber every chance he gets, in stark contrast with more wise, peacekeeping Jedi like Indara and Sol.

[@monohedron9633]

This! Really diggin Sol. What a great actor Lee Jung-jae is! I generally like the show more than I expected. They took some lessons from Andor: no BS, nice screenplay, overall really nice.

[@tucmakukla]

TBH I read him mostly as young, inexperienced, edgy... Indara is more in line with the falling Jedi order, vain, aloof, arrogant... And probably pretty rigid. If anything the Jedi got even more rigid and were at odds with the more brash guys like Qui-Gon :)

[@sirmarshall9521]

Thank you for watching and discussing what's actually on the screen.

[@GingerGeek7567]

I appreciate that you guys still did a reaction to this even know you’ve already seen it ❤ I really enjoyed these two episodes looking forward to seeing what happens next!!! May the force be with you both 💛

Also, nowhere else will we get a Clone Wars voice over to start the show 😊

[@I.Lostalim]

Who needs an autopilot when your chair can become a droid 😆 4 times, saw your tour of Lucasfilm, didn't realize you both got invited to another little bonus. That's awesome, congrats to both of you. I am already so in love with this show, see you on the next one!

[@nomisunrider6472]

The sheer joy in your voice when you saw the Selkath was wonderful.

[@newhappiness4410]

Important point in this episode. It deals with loss and how it affects each person in particular the twin sisters and their path after that loss. Sol the best character already but really not looking forward to his fate from what we know later in the Star Wars universe. If I get another season of Sol I’d be onboard for that at least

[@starkillerrevan1094]

I always love your reactions guys, but I liked this one because, as has been mentioned, you actually enjoy new SW stuff. I've seen "breakdown" videos where the guys trash the show like they did with other shows. I like the show so far, so it's a bit annoying when some guys completely trash it just because they had I don't know what kind of expectations. Good work as always guys!

[@ItsDume]

It’s a shame many people wont even give this series a chance and are missing out.. I think this is really good from what we’ve seen

hey kyle happy belated birthday! I'm glad this show dropped on your birthday, a sick gift This drew me right in the second Mae walked into that outpost tavern and wanted Indara to fight her The mystery is juicy, the characters are becoming my new favorites (yes even Yord) and the lore is getting thicker with info that I never even knew I wanted! I can't wait to see how this unfolds!

Thank you Kyle and Bendu!!! I am loving this series so far and thankful for reactions like yours that are so positive! I just still love me some Star Wars!!!!❤❤❤❤

[@jackson857]

22:05 Actually I think it's just a force vision for Osha. Because we see in the 2nd episode that Mae doesn't know that Osha is alive so it can't be them connecting through the force otherwise Mae would know that Osha is alive like Osha knows that Mae is alive.

[@Ladmia]

My head cannon is that Qui Gon and Sol would be best friends, just like our favorite Best Friends.

[@bemasaberwyn55]

Who knows They might be hanging out in the netherworld of the force

[@Commander-Appo]

Lunch is Canon!

[@swampfireian41]

Regarding Indara’s lack of precognition: The one thing that jumps out at me is Yoda’s quote about the Dark Side clouding everything. The Acolyte takes place a scant 100 years before then, and as the Jedi grow more complacent, weaker almost, the Sith and other Dark Side factions are on the rise. I’d like to believe Indara’s not sensing the second knife is kind of a combination of the Jedi hubris and arrogance that leads to their downfall, as well as a sign of their diminishing power in the face of the Dark Side.

[@Fedaygin]

6:47 Yes indeed ^^ That Star Wars feeling is right there 🙂 Composer did very nice work & i look forward to hearing more of his talent as season goes on 🙂 Lee Jung's dedication for the role is pure goodiness. He learned more English for this & the way he speaks at certain situations is a la Bueno 🙂 Jord is nice character & slight smile that Jecki gave to Osha when in Jedi Ship was cool 🙂 Gonna restream first two episodes before third arrives on next wednesday. Doing via "65 Led Telly to wind-down at evenings 🙂 I have Forever Sub to Disney+. I sincerely give 8/10 to The Acolyte after first 2x episodes. Later i'll add them to couple websites & blog post 🙂 Leslye stated interest of working with Star Wars Live act show based on Knights of The Old Republic era. I'm all in for it as she's a talented director & not bad writer 🙂

[@tonybennett7681]

Using a saber as a flashlight reminds me of exploring dark times as Cal Kestis in Fallen Order

[@BravoDox]

Is it possible that the little "born as two" poem Mae and Osha share with each other is foreshadowing that they're a Force Dyad?

[@da-vidcargill4975]

yea

[@h2ohydrox]

Right before your reaction started, I was able to figure out what I originally thought was a problem with the story. Early on, Yord mentions the death of Osha's sister, and then later seems surprised when Sol mentions her sister. I realised his surprise is that Mae was left out of the Jedi records, not that she existed. Osha would've told Yord about her family when they were at the Temple.

[@kereminde]

I think it was the "twin sister" which made him stop and think a little.

[@Sharkeysays]

The “good twin” gonna kill her “bad twin” and become the bad twin. Qimir is sus.

I love seeing the older model droids. My favorites in the past were the astromech models in KOTOR.

[@ZafVirex]

It's amazing seeing the High Republic Jedi and world in live action. I was just replaying Jedi Survivor recently and really loved that aspect of the story, so this show feels so complimentary. They did a good job of making these Jedi and this world feel different from the prequels.

[@maxo.9928]

The cyborg guy's design reminds me of Jerec from Dark Forces 2, the way his eyes look. Is he possibly a memeber of the same near-human-but-without-eyeballs race as Jerec?

[@joeman99983]

Master Sol to Osha is what Qui-Gon would've been to Anakin. Sol will be one of the best SW characters by the end of the season. Guaranteed.

[@timothywhitfield8785]

Beside the story and characters, I love how the show made it look 'old' - The Droids and computer screens and all that look and feel 'lower' tech then the Skywalker timeline. Hard to do in a high tech fantasy worlds.

[@barkasz6066]

I enjoyed both episodes. Some of it did feel a little stunted and they chose kind of weird moments to end each episode, it feels like this is supposed to be one continuous movie or something, but I'm hooked. Mae / Osha are both great, I'm fascinated to find out more. And I absolutely love Mae's costume design and how she fights.

[@stevena.7022]

Leia didn't come back from her space swim like: "Hey you guys, you can still hear everything out there!" I'm a pedantic hater. Osha tanked a planetary re-entry impact. Did she learn that at space-firefighter academy? It's always the failed opportunity that hits hardest with these efforts. My suggestion scene: She's strapped in to her chair when she glances at a untethered mech-nic crate... unlocks it with her Swiss Army droid.... Yay a spacesuit, a star-warsie helmet, and some mag-boots! The ship's breaking up... osha struggles on the ''wing'' surfing atmosphere like it's Dark Star... a leap of faith (the force?)... Some free fall... a cool parachute... big shot of flaming inferno as she floats onto a desolate planet. More drama? Do the damaged chute trope and high speed impact into snow. She's got a sprained ankle oh no, and the Jedi save her from hungry space Yeti. Yes still ridiculous, but It connects her skillset to survival. It's epic, and It's narrowly plausible. But no, just ignore the campfire in space. It looks like her burned childhood trauma ok. duh.

[@NatashaSalgado]

One of the things I missed in other Star Wars films and shows are the names of the planets.

[@bemasaberwyn55]

Anybody else get "Airplane" vibes when the prison ship's pilots fold up into pilot seats? In both cases, the autopilot mode occupies the pilot seat(s) when engaged.

[@TrueKoalaKnight]

Seems ok so far.

[@chrishayes4323]

The comment about the person who has the most dangerous illegal job in the galaxy being named Osha was hilarious.

[@acdragonrider]

My favorite part of the show so far is the mystery tone. The idea of Jedi being put to the test. Will their code be a strength or a “weakness.” The sith and their allies are trying to exploit it to their advantage. My favorite characters: Sol and his padawan. Sol is awesome. Reminds me of Chow Yun Fat’s character. She’s got a bit of Ahsoka’s energy and has a bit of sol’s compassion. But she also believes in the rules to a degree. The score is so unique while also being similar to the mystery elements from The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones particularly when Obi wan is pursuing leads on Jango and Kamino.

The truth is that I loved it, I remember back in 2021 when the High Republic came out, youtubers and pseudo fans mocked and bastardized that time of the saga and what was coming out without having read absolutely anything... I included myself looking askance at buying the first novel And now that I've read almost everything, missing nothing more than a young adult novel and three comics, I think it's the best thing that's come out of the saga in a long time... and the series is going to be just as incredible

[@paulmurphy4723]

Yep. Went into THR (when it kicked off) with hope but also mild trepidation. Then Light of the Jedi happened and was one of my fav SW books (& I've read every legends & canon novel/short story/comic) IMMEDIATELY. it's new, fresh, can go anywhere & try anything, & it has. it's also planned out AF & those who constantly cry about SW kinda harp on that a bit, so you'd think they'd be happy about that but no, cos there are StROng WiMmIn & diverse mindsets, they automatically don't like that/them. 🤣🤣 they're more easily offended than fkn tr*mp supporters fgs. 🤣🤣😬😬

Arguably if you're viewing chronologically, you could start with Young Jedi Adventures since it takes place in 235 BBY, roughly a hundred years before this. That's if you can stomach sitting through a Star Wars show written for pre-schoolers.
