Enjoyed Qimir's interest suddenly peaking when Sol reveals how Mother Aniseya was able to create life. Qimir knows someone who will be very interested in that piece of information.

[@azk9218]

I honestly thought that was guilt. That he knew all along. That is the reason why he was so eager to teach one of the sisters.

[@rweishaar1066]

Remember, Qimir did not say he was looking for an Acolyte. He said he was looking for the power of two. Now, everyone assumes that means the Rule of Two. But he didn't say that. I think he is referring to the Dyad, the power of two force users bound to each other as one. So yeah, I don't think Qimir is looking for an apprentice to take over from Plagueis. I think he might be working with Plagueis to study the force dyad closer.

[@lucabestea6844]

Imo, I feel like Plagueis attempted to influence life, an early experiment to what he'll manage to accomplish, and it happened to coincede with the moment Mother Aniseya tried to make life. Therefore, Mother Aniseya used Plagueis' power to make the twins. Or perhaps sb(Mother Koril) sensed Plagueis doing that, given Brendok is a vergence, and bound it. Still feel like there's one bit of information about the incident on Brendok we have yet to see. Maybe Plagueis was battling all the witches in tandem with Indara trying to free Kelnacca and that's why they died. Then again, a dreamer's gotta dream...

I like how Sol’s choices, now matter how noble & well intentioned he saw them, were a mask to cover his flaws & insecurities as a Jedi. I don’t doubt that he truly loved Osha, but it goes to show that he was unable to express or even show his love for her when it came to the truth. In a way, Sol’s love for her was possessive from the moment he saw her on Brendok to his dying breath.

[@jasonwilkerson9497]

​​@@zerolegacy7821Yes!! Agreed!! Why isn't this talked about? Sol was very honest. He loved until the end even though others didn't get his awareness of the evil behind all this.

@@zerolegacy7821 you’re the only one taking this too seriously. Judging by your responses, you’re the only one mad about this. I never said Sol is covering anything, if you stopped to actually think about it. I said they’re a mask for his insecurities. His possessive love for Osha makes plenty of sense especially since he’s not really apologizing for what he did. Watch his interactions w/ Mae & Osha again & he’s clearly stating out loud that he believes what he did was right. He’s not apologizing for ruining their lives, he double downed on his choices and he paid for it. Your reasoning that Sol wanted to take responsibility is flawed because he’s only doing it out of shame. Indara only convinced to lie because he ruined Osha’s life & fully knowing the Jedi wouldn’t make an exception for her as a Padawan would condemn Osha to living alone w/ no one to care for her.

If you have none, fine, move on to someone else. If you don’t want to engage or think within the possibility that Sol’s “choices” to lie to Osha & his unwillingness to apologize are a mask for his guilt & insecurities as a Jedi. Then that’s your choice. But in ep. 8, Sol’s refusal to take accountability for his actions all in the name of Osha & his love for her, doomed him to be killed by her.

[@IggyStardust1967]

@@ryanpayne4401 Late to the discussion, but I think that part of it WAS "shame", believing that he did the right thing, for the wrong reason, or with the worst result if nothing else. He never intended to harm the coven or Mae. He simply wanted to give Osha the life she wanted, and made a shitload of mistakes to make that happen. Sol not only "doubled down" on trying to justify his actions that night, but "quadrupled down" on them. Sol simply couldn't accept the fact that he actually DID cause all of this to happen. From the incident on Undara with the coven, lying to Osha, failing to rescue Mae, leading Jecki to her death (as well as all of the other Jedi on that mission)..... So he "justified" all of his choices by lying to himself and everyone around him. Also, "A Certain Point of View" comes into play VERY heavily in this series. Such a tragedy COULD have been avoided, but if it had, we wouldn't have such a banger of a series, would we? And yes, I **LOVED** this series! To the Jedi, both Qimir and the witches were "evil", when all they REALLY wanted was to not have to answer to the Jedi Order, and be left alone. Look around our own world.... do you see the mirror being held up to it?

I think Sol's death and how Vern used it to cover her own tracks will lead to the end of the high council and the high republic.

really ? he's apeairng the worst way.... COnsider his imoortance.

[@TheFallofTheEleventh]

@rocknroll1973I believe the suggestion is that Plagueis is currently “researching” vergences in the Force the same way the Jedi were in the season. And how seeing Osha and Mae being essentially one mind split into two bodies who were created by the Force is what ultimately inspires him to go into his work that Palpatine spoke about in Revenge of the Sith where Plagueis was able to use the Force to create “life” and save others from death. So basically the idea is that Plagueis got the idea to use the Force to create life from Osha and Mae and that’s what possibly lead to Anakin’s creation either because Plagueis or Palpatine used that knowledge or because the Force was reacting to them attempting to manipulate life with the Force

[@MrElfyrion]

@rocknroll1973 it's the way he is shown here.. So dumb. no climax, no suspense.. And he was teased, Yoda too... As usual in the series : some good ideas.... very bad editing, acting, writing.

[@dice268926]

Plagueis is a HUGE character in lore, so to debut on a show in his era called Acolyte even though it wasn't about him shows his powerful presence in the past (like Yoda)- & opens questions on if he went looking for Qimir on purpose, is he Qimir's 1st Sith Master, was he or they sharing the planet and he just now found others were there. Either way, it also hints that the witches legacy was what led him to learn to create life. How? We'll find out, but I'd like if he absorbs Mae & Osha which makes Palpatine look 4 a vergence he can absorb or merge with eventually (Anakin/Vader). He didn't need a line or much time, the story told us it's about him. So, to include him is a cherry on top 🍒

[@S20SP]

[@rawkmode6315]

Plagueis and Venamis (Qimir) are fellow apprentices of Darth Tenebrous. Plagueis is the true apprentice and a Sith, while Venamis is a false apprentice and technically not Sith due to the Rule of Two. Venamis is attempting to overthrow Tenebrous and Plagueis, and Plagueis is most likely on the island spying on him. In the original story, Venamis fails in his rebellion because Tenebrous already knows everything and is several steps ahead. Plagueis sneaking around on the island provides an explanation for Tenebrous' ability to stay ahead of Venamis.

Not going to lie i was quite surprised to see that Osha bleed Sol's lightsaber in her anger and even use Force Choke on him, he even seemed to have accepted it by the end. I was quite surprised how Sol was not repentant at all for killing Aneseya. It seems that hiding the secret for so long he started to rationalize excuses for his actions, like care for Osha or making sure the Jedi learned about the vergence. Great lightsaber sequence between Sol and Qmir. Despite everything Sol was still a very skilled fighter to be able to win against a darksider who defeated 7 Jedi. And Venestra was indeed Qmir's master.Also all her talk about how Sol was a good man who let a mistake fester and change him it was so obvious she was talking about herself and whatever happened with Qmir. She was even lying to the senate and i bet she won't tell the whole truth to Yoda. She is going to use the now without memory Mae to hunt for Qmir and maybe will even end up with the same fate as Sol. I think she will tell the truth about Sol, Indara, Torbin and Kelnacca but hide the part about her old padawan, let it be some unknown Force user that she needs to investigate. I get the feeling trying to kill Qmir wasn't something sanctioned by the Jedi Council before. And so the cycle of lies done by the Jedi keep going until they are fully trapped in the Sith's web. By the way I think Plagueis was spying on them. Wonder if looking for future prospects or checking a possible competition. Great episode and we need a season 2 of this now!😁

Osha was always going to kill whoever was responsible for her Mother's death.

​@@zerolegacy7821well I think its supposed to show that while the Jedi do aspire to be these great champions of peace, very few are actually able to find the balance to do so. Indara was the least affected by what happened, Sol's grief and regret kept steadily building over the years, Kelnacca went into a self imposed exile, and Torbin felt so guilty over causing the coven's death that he willingly poisoned himself. These are not perfect and just jedi like Qui gon, they are flawed and irrational, sad as it is.

@zerolegacy7821 I think Torbin felt guilty just being a PART of what happened. Imagine that, being responsible for the death of so many people and tearing apart a family as well. While he was not solely responsible, his part in the incident and then lying about what happened to the Order and to Osha about her family must have just worn Torbin down until he was desperate for absolution which eventually appeared in the form of Mae.

[@kevinhansen8211]

I'm guessing now that the unknown world is Muunilinst, and the island is Plagueis' island lab from legends, if so, it is nice they brought it into canon. This was an interesting finale, Sol, in the end, refused to take responsibility for his actions. He wanted to kill both Quamir and Mae, to cover up what he did, and in the process turned someone he claimed to love to the dark side. It ironic that people talk about how old Plaguies looked, if this is a hundred years before Revenge of the Sith, that makes him in his sixties. Palpatine would be born in about twenty years, and Plagueis would be in his early hundreds.

[@Heretic451]

I'm glad to see there are people as excited as I am about certain aspects of this show, instead of prejudging it all and posting vids of their nit-picking and sighing through the whole thing.

[@Heretic451]

@@zerolegacy7821 I'm aware. You can also give a show a chance before deciding it's bad. Too many people can't find anything good in this show, and it's clear they made that decision before even watching it. They huff and sigh at everything, and I mean everything, from start to finish. So, just like they shouldn't watch something they find so painful to watch, I won't be watching their reaction videos anymore. Easy.

[@droidherder3234]

The jedi won't charge Mae - Vernestra's story is that Sol merc'd his comrades, and that's now the official story

[@ethancampbell5916]

I’ve watched all of y’all’s reactions to Acolyte. Even if I really didn’t enjoy the series, I really like having fun with Star Wars watching you two. Being about to see the positivity in all of it. Thanks you two so much.

[@Scottyjscizzle]

I got the vibes that the island is plagueis and qimir just has a small area of it. That was him popping in like “ya winning son?”

[@Obbe79]

The 4 jedi were all killed by different people. Indara by Mae, Torbin killed himself, Kelnacca by the Stranger and Sol by Osha

[@maskofskin]

It's been a joy watching this series with you two. Love the excitement. It's like watching with friends.

[@scottboa2738]

The best things about this episode, were the brief cameo by Lord Plagueis, and the first Canon use of Force Shatterpoint.

[@orphicprince8854]

The crystal and the saber changing was so Visions and I am so here for it.

[@TK_Brainslug]

I think Sol just gave up when Osha force choked him to death, he was at peace

[@Fedaygin]

Yeah could be.. He shouldn't have done it because sixteen years ago he acted as any person would've done when see other one turn into black mist. Also young girl kinda did at same time 😒 [Rest in Peace Sol, you were great Duelist who beat Sith Wannabe twice. Renew The Acolyte. Kindly: Forever D+ Subber] 🤞

[@henryhammond7393]

I always found Plagueis to be intriguing… I never thought of him as scary… until now. That was some straight up nightmare fuel. And I don’t get scared easily. 😱

[@WC-PO]

THIS is the reaction I've been waiting for! I'm super sad about Sol, but I still want a season 2 SO BAD. And I want it to actually focus on the Sith this time; I need more Qimir and Osha!

[@frenchmambo8503]

Fight director here. Easily some of the best choreography we’ve had in Star Wars. Excellently performed as well. Please let them keep this fight team!!

[@tetsuoshima9682]

Love your guy's reactions, you two seem really fun to hang out with. Keep it up! Cannot wait for a season 2!!!!!!!!

[@neil2242]

A Mirialan and a Martian meet in a control room... 😆

[@DanielDaniel-wk1up]

In the first episode Osha reacted in anger when Yord told her that Indara was the one putting her out of the Order. "It was my decision". In the third one, baby Osha expressed her fear about the ascension, claiming that she didn't want to do it, wanting to have her own thing beyond the congregation. When she stoped Sol before he could said "Because I love you" and went harder to make him suffer when he said "it's ok" I saw it as Osha not wanting Sol to own her jump into the darkside, stopping him from having any kind of control above an act she was feeling as her own doing with anybody power being able to take no control over it. She was looking for power. Her own power / own thing, and she fought to avoid Sol from take any credit or power over it

[@kathyjumper6991]

My son and I enjoyed the series. The ending was excellent and we are hoping for a second season.

[@JS-td8yp]

Thank you both for being a positive voice during the insane amount of unwarranted hate this show has been receiving. Not a perfect show by any means, clear issues in the writing and acting, but review bombed and the fandom is so full of hate. Loved your reactions, can’t wait for the next ones! ❤

[@Ch40ticC4su4l]

I love how excited you guys are about the show while still being properly critical and still having fun! A lot of Star Wars "die hards" are pretending this shit wasn't super cool. Things can be good and bad. It is possible to like something and still look at it critically. People should be critical of what they like, but throwing it all away as trash is a straight up subjective lie. That Sol/Qimir fight was insane. Based. Seeing a Kyber Crystal being bled in live action. Based. IDC, y'all are lying if you can't see how cool that is, even if you don't like the show.

[@ace360]

Worth The wait!!!!🎇 Priceless Reaction Kyle and Bendu! 😂 22:33 Kyle last night in the Hype stream you said you would do something lol Really hoping for a Season 2 now right! Awesome Ending with are little Green Friend 💚

[@juanmanuelortega5954]

TRUEEEE THEY ARE BETTER THAN THE HATER OS SW THEORY

[@FloundFahrdienst]

Its great to finally see Plagueis in liveaction. But the problem is that If He was Quimirs Master at this time already, that means He would be Like between 120 and 130 years old in the Phantom manace. That sadly doesnt add Up. They should have used Plagueis master Darth Tenebrus

[@godinez917]

Hey hey!!! There’s the dynamic duo!!!!! AHHHH CANT WAIT TO HEAR WHAT YOU GUYS TALK ABOUT :)

[@Qui_Gon_Ben]

I loved this show! IMO the show set the bar when it comes to Force Duels. Moving forward all future star wars shows will have to match that level of choreography along with badass force moves.

[@Bean-hm4ob]

Interesting how in channels that hate the show you only find hate comments about the show but here not a single hate comment about the show. Shows you how divided the fans are and that's sad

[@Lunar_Tears]

That was Darth Plagueis hiding on the island and at end we got to see Yoda from behind

[@frankdaniels9819]

How is it that, the one person who wanted to tell the truth from the beginning gets blamed for it all. Sol felt that and was like, "Go ahead and do it."

[@auntvesuvi3872]

Thanks to Kyle and Bendu! 🌑 Great to see the first canonical depiction of 'Plagueis'. 🔸 And how wild to see a kyber crystal actually being bled?! #RenewTheAcolyte

i don’t know why a lot of the fanbase is so incapable of just trying to have fun with some of these shows. they’re not perfect but they don’t need to be, the only way to improve is to learn from mistakes. The Acolyte can only improve from here

​@@TheeWandaStan bc it fucked sw in the ass with a rusty pipe. Having fun only goes so far when the shoe fucks the lore. Real fans actually care about tbe details and inconsistencies.

My go to for SW content. I get constructive criticism...I have lots for the show, but I am really tired of the negativity for the sake of negativity. A bro/sis duo complained about looking off into the sunset...like Luke and others have done to end a movie/show?

[@sakisaotome6753]

she gave him a choice while he was behind his meditative force field, he took down the force field, apologiezed and then drank the poison. he choose to end his life rather than go to the jedi. in fact he choose death over continueing to sit there in his untouchable trance. so yes these were all choices that he made. he killed himself. all mae did was bring poison and give him a choice that she couldn't back up.

[@TaeTrice1]

I don’t give Mae the Torbin kill. He made that choice under his own agency. She gave him an out and he took it. It’s no different than handing someone a gun. They’ve still gotta go through with it.

[@camhan]

I just gotta say. I love this channel. u guys have so much knowledge, about star wars. and I myself told Kyle about my past that star wars rescued me way back as a child when i went thrue a lot of bad stuff. ad for me its important to let them know that is just as important for me to watch the series/movies and get a reaction from these guys! i learn alot watching them. so i cant wait to see more. Big ups to Kyle and bendu. u guys are the best. and if i never get to see one of u in the future in a star wars series/movie i ll get pissed haha! respect, much love. i once asked if i could create a intro music sequens for u, im a producer so that would be so cool. untill next time.

[@Ch40ticC4su4l]

@KyleKatarn If you watch the first episode with the twins, Osha is actually the FIRST to try and choke the butterfly. Go back and watch. She stares at it, and then it starts to quiver and shake, but she lets it go, either because she doesn't understand what she's doing and it freaks her out, or she simply fails. Either way, Mae steps into the scene and ends up being the one to choke the butterfly, leading us to believe that Mae is the "dark" one. But Osha tried to do it first. That was my first hint that they were the same. Also, so long as one remembers, both will remember. This will be the key to Mae's memory returning. Calling it now.

[@rashaundaily5438]

I think plagues is a apprentice at this time and he is looking for his acolyte to take down his master and use osha or qimir to do it

[@jasonmarbach]

Senator Rayencourt was lowkey spitting 👀

[@TheHipsterGamer]

It was like a clash between Star Wars fan ideologies, some fans view the Jedi as the ultimate good guys, others see them as deeply flawed.

[@jasonmarbach]

@@TheHipsterGamer correct! And the second group of fans is correct. That’s the story that Lucasfilm has been telling for 25 years now about the Jedi Order.

[@G1Transformed]

50:29 There wasn't a fight, and that's why we didn't see it. If the Jedi couldn't sense Qimir with his helmet on, why would Kelnacca? Qimir caught him unaware and waited outside to reveal himself to everyone else. What a finale! We need a season 2. Everyone did an amazing job, particularly the fight choreographers!!

[@fredrico665]

Poor Sol felt, so bad for him...Plagues!

[@Retailman100]

Evil Pip: "That's my purse!! I don't know you!!"

Mae won't be prosecuted or found guilty because Sol was blamed for all the deaths. That's what Vernestra was saying about making it right...she is free and clear in the eyes of the law and the Jedi and can start a new life.

I loved how hyped you two are for all the cool stuff. Your reactions are so much fun - this is the energy I want in my Star Wars 😁 So much to digest and work through after this ... and season two cannot come soon enough!

[@themoviefan9990]

Episodes 5, 6, 7, 8 were all bangers

[@Hellscream420]

Saw a theory that explained why they twins both switch sides so easily. Them being the same person means they have to be opposite of each to balance Everytime one becomes dark the other because light each time they seem to change ideology they other does the exact opposite they are always in opposition of each other

[@lonelybanshee8593]

I was half expecting Rayencourt to add, "And then what happens when one of you snaps and helps a secret dark wizard manipulate his way into leadership and then engineers a proxy war in order to consolidate power while ostensibly championing democracy, then exterminates your entire order with a random numerical input that sounds like a fry cook's ticket, then converts the Republic into a 40-year fascist machine that deliberately buries all knowledge of your order until an unlikely farm boy blows up their space station and converts the guy who snaps back to the good side for two seconds, causing the guy who snaps to be erroneously lionized by multitudes of different people until the end of time, even after the secret dark wizard is resurrected as a clone abomination who can only be stopped by the farm-boy-trained-daughter of the dark wizard's clone offspring, who will then go on to rebuild the image and function of your order however she wants? Hmm? Who will be powerful enough to stop him?
