The Acolyte...Episode 2

THEORY SABERS - theorysabers.com/
Acolyte 2
As we enter the Jedi temple on Olega, Mae infiltrates quite easily, as she finds Master torbin, who hasn’t spoken to anyone in 10 years as he sits there and meditates in mid air.
Mae tries to fight him but he has the force field shield to keep her out.
Osha meets Jecki, and Sol speaks with Yord about the twin theory and how they could be working together. Yord is very uptight and like a super strict book worm.
Vernestra speaks with Sol on hologram and confirms it’s Mae, Osha’s twin as another attack broke out, which was the one on sleepy master torbin.
Mae goes to speak with a potions master who knows about her identity and her Sith master.
He talks about peace being a lie, and Mae says yes, rapidly, that’s part of the Sith code which makes me wonder who this dude is. And why they are reciting a part of the Sith code.
He makes her a poison for Torbin, and she leaves, when she tells him not to tell the master about this, as she’s going against his order to not use a weapon.
As Sol heads to Olega to speak with the Jedi temple of rejects, Mae makes her way in and speaks to Torbin, telling him she knows why he took the Brash vow. The first time we heard of the brash vow, was from the Darth vader comic from 2017 where Vader fights Kirak Infila who took the brash vow vowing to remain abstinent from activities of the Jedi, refocusing themselves on the force only. For example Kirak infila took the vow and didn’t hide after order 66, which is how Vader found him.
She tells him his past still haunts him. Makes him feel guilty for the past. He finally opens his eyes and speaks to her, saying he’s waited for her for years. He takes the poison and ends himself due to guilt. He says he thought he and the Jedi were doing the right thing. I guess he was there at the fire all those years ago.
He drinks the poison and dies. The Jedi arrive at the scene of the crime and Osha tells them the poison vile smells of Boonta, from her hometown.
They visit the apothecary as Osha wears a wire on the poison maker, who admits Mae killed Torbin and that their master will be pleased.
The Jedi infiltrate him at his shop and he says all he knows, which is about getting revenge on 4 Jedi. 2 of which are dead, I guess the others are Kelnacca the wookie and Sol. Any Jedi who was stationed on Brendok 16 years ago.
Mae and Sol fight, and he easily beats her. Yord watches from 2 meters away with binoculars to make sure nothing bad happens to Sol.
They corner Mae when she uses force push to create some smoke and sand to escape.
As Mae runs through the city, she steals a speeder and Osha and her see each other. Osha tries to shoot a a stun blast at her but misses, probably on purpose as she has used one before.
Sol speaks with Vernestra, she put a small number of masters together for a council meeting, she says it was one thing his apprentice went rogue, she speaks of Osha, but it’s another an outsider is killing Jedi.
As Mae meets with Snape, the portions master, she is informed of Kelnacca’s werabouts, on Khofar. Where we jump to the forest planet, as we see Kelnacca take out some hunters, pulling their blaster to him with the force.

1: "Attack me with all of your strength." 2: "No, I don't think I will." 1: "Why not?" 2: "The way you asked was cringe."

[@jedsithor]

The overweight Jedi bothers me. I'm a heavy guy myself so this isn't fat shaming, it's me trying to think logically, specifically about the heavy Jedi guy. It doesn't make sense to me that a Jedi would be overweight. Jedi are trained from childhood in the Jedi Arts. I'd expect there to be a level of fitness and discipline for Jedi Knights. They don't all need to be buff by any means and before someone brings up the "Size matters not" argument, I'm not talking about whether a heavy person can be a warrior or not. I'm talking about the philosophy of the Jedi. Greed and gluttony are traits of the Dark Side. I'd absolutely expect to see overweight Sith who gorge themselves but I'd expect a Jedi to only eat as much as they need to function healthily. They'd have learned this discipline as a padawan. I recognise that it's a weird thing to focus on but it kinda took me out of it. Also, I hate the LED lightsabers Disney have been using in recent years. The blade look too wide and yeah, they help in casting natural light, which is good but they don't look quite right.

[@Mark2_D2]

The Potions guy is the Sith Master. He is engaging in a deceptive game with Mae by pretending to be her helpful supplier. Hiding in plain sight. Remember how he effortlessly defended against her and thwarted all her attacks with ease? To me he revealed his true self when he quickly realized Osha was impersonating Mae. Additionally, he was very impressed when he believed Mae had killed the Jedi Master without using the poison, momentarily dropping his act in both instances.

I watched the first 15 minutes before disengaging and letting it become background noise. I just couldn’t stay engaged. If these recaps make the story seem more engaging as the show progresses, I’ll go back and watch. It’s not necessarily a bad show, but it just hasn’t been my thing thus far.

The apothecary is the figure we see with the red lightsaber. He hides in plain sight so that he can monitor her progress. He also knows the whereabouts of the wookie jedi. Also notice how he acts just like Palpatine. A sly, approachable man who can act innocent when it suits him.

[@Mark2_D2]

[@CJ-442]

Don’t forget how he caught Mae’s arm when she tried to kill him. She was trying to be stealthy and sneak up on him. No way some normal “scum and villainy” type is able to casually subdue an assassin that’s capable of squaring up against Jedi Masters.

[@titanbro5871]

I disagree on the mannerisms of the Jedi of Old. I think Sol definitely represents that of what a Jedi should be and how he handled the situation with that one youngling who saw fire that consumed all. But I found their reasons for wanting to put an end to The Acolyte and why they were worried that it was Osha. They were worried how it would affect them politically... maybe I forgot or missed something but the Jedi being worried about politics is just something I found so interesting. Its like watching the seeds of their own destruction since this show takes place 100 years before The Phantom Menace.

[@Brikkyy13]

The only people I see hating on theory are the true believers over on reddit r/StarWarsLeaks, and while I have no concrete proof I’m 99% sure at this point that that place is used by Disney as part of their astroturfing marketing. I was banned for posting real leaks that didn’t fit in with their narrative. Lucasfilm has been caught using bots on Twitter as recently as this year so it’s really not much of a stretch.

[@niteowl1914]

With all the internet controversy over the show and crazy comments by Leslye Headland, I was expecting much more of an ideological nightmare than we got in the first two episodes. However, I can already see the show setting up for some major ideological statements that I'll strongly disagree with, especially if the rumors about ep. 3 are true. Ideology aside, overall, I just feel that Disney is making shows to make them. The story so far is bland and lacking any real originality or complexity. How did it get $180 million? It would be better if Disney had a tournament each year with different fan-written scripts and the fans vote for which script ends up being made into a show!

I agree with you on your point that it would’ve been a much better story if they would’ve given us an episode or two to see the characters and Jedi and get a feel for them rather than immediately jumping into the thick of things. I think that’s the problem with doing shows like this, you have so much story and plot you need to fit into a 30-40 minute episode with a relatively small episode count that you lose the ability to flesh out the little details that make a great finished product.

[@AceEverett]

They really need to just stop picking an episode number and cutting things until it fits. Everyone is streaming nowadays. Who cares if it's 8 episodes or 9, 10, 11. They don't all need to be the exact same length either, just kinda close.

[@luisavilez09]

I couldn’t agree with you more than what was said here, I too would have loved to see more depth into the characters that we’ve been introduced before they died but with only 2 episodes who knows maybe things get better for the show and us the audience

[@krankinthehog4984]

Guys. Smilo Ren is gonna be the twins mother! Incredible writing at Lucasfilm. Shes gonna be a misunderstood villian hunting the jedi down for taking her kids and burning their home lol prediction is in

[@ZombieGojira]

After she gets her revenge she will go back to the other mother and scissor her with all the hate in her heart. So brave, so stunning.

[@j02savage9]

I really enjoyed this show I feels like Star Wars and it’s done well no expositional bs it moves with minimal wasted time

[@POISONSHANK1]

I have no idea what all these false stories are. It's nothing like the bad hype. It actually pretty good so far.

[@Mdubya88]

I was wondering if possible for the dark side masters reasoning for not using weapons as a trial to rely solely on the force and more specifically the dark side of the force, perhaps a nod to Palpatine's dislike for weapons especially the lightsaber.

Butvits Gay as fuk bro get with it! It doesn't matter what the story is as long as its super gay its good 👍 -the ministry of truth approves this message

[@tomtomturnaround4924]

It's a little bit too much Martial Arts, but i'm amused and exited too see the next Episodes👏

[@howwq]

IT'S TORBIN TIME

[@TReeseTV]

I appreciate this, cus I dont have to waste time watching this garbage, aswell as they will never get the view from me because I don't want to support it. You have done the OG Star Wars fans a massive service. Much love

[@Evilducttapeman]

People are just hating on this show and it beginning to look like the fans don’t actually like Star Wars anymore. They hate is from left field, is the show perfect, no, but it’s way better then those hating on it are saying. And most don’t even point out any specifics on what makes the show bad

[@extrojan22]

Not a bad show just mid at the moment. For example, let’s not put fire in space (I get that it was to symbolize what happened to her in the past). Also, an assassin is lethal and so far even with cool fight choreography and cinematography I’m not threatened by her in the slightest. Knife is greater than a lightsaber (really) ok fine it’s stealthy. A droid only operated prison transport For a “Jedi killer”. It’s just not believable and during the press she was saying they wanted it more grounded in reality and it’s far from it. I’m hoping it gets better I really do but it’s way too predictable right now.

[@Evilducttapeman]

@@extrojan22 nothing in Star Wars makes sense. You like light sabers because it’s cool. Science will tell you it’s impossible. Most of Star Wars is dumb and people like it. Then point out that it breaks immersion. So the fact that the majority of the galaxy is the same species and most are the same skin color doesn’t break it…. Right

[@joaodecarvalho7012]

The episodes are very brief, especially for something that cost so much.

[@JFHardman]

Pros: - Pacing is really much better than Mando for example, it doesn't deel like the episode run time is being wasted - the plot is moving closer to a movie pace, we have a ship, a crew, a mission and a mystery set up - The Jedi, I was expecting this show to shit on the lore. So FAR it hasn't, Sol straight up said the force was about finding balance, thumbs up. Lets get some Qui-gon type Jedi characters have their fair representative and then i don't mind a stoty about the jedi got fogged by political corruption - Set pieces and aliens, very awesome to just see this around. Shout out to the droid chairs, little stuff like that is just fun - So far, i don't actively dislike any of the characters, so we're already miles above rings of power for example hoho - Wookie Jedi Cons - Dialogue is fairly simple but hey, i can deal with that - Same twin hair style is ridiculous lol. I'd have hoped for more differences, why is she thanking a poison merchant, she comes off as just an angry clone right, not a trained assassin - Pacing although much quicker is choppy in some places - agree with Theory that its difficult to care nuch about the assassinations, no set up We'll see how this pans out

[@zachcoles4296]

When it comes to the assassinations I think it's meant for us to question she's killing them and we'll end up finding out later, but I do understand yours and theory opinion on it

[@5150Reaper]

I give these 2 episodes 4 out of 10. Because I didn’t get the feeling to re watch them. Like the classics or prequels or mando.

[@iangill3876]

I don’t think it’s been bad so far, but I also don’t think the show has been all that good. It’s kinda just ok and I hope it gets better (Master Sol is great tho)

[@moneimanny375]

I’m just glad we get more Star Wars 🤷🏽‍♂️ show is cool it’s different for sure

[@titanmedia3181]

Your explanation of this show was 10x better than the actual show.

[@GodFire91]

They already i believe confirmed we won't really see any characters like Yoda and anyone that would be alive.

[@Helv3tii]

This honestly was fine. It’s a Disney + show I’m not expecting it to be written by Tolkien or directed by Nolan. For what it is I think it’s interesting and the hate comes from the lingering effects of corporate decisions and past work. The show itself is not bad so far. Arguments?

[@liamd9497]

I loved everything about it then. ? Maybe it's just me but looking forward to the rest 😊

[@dkgong]

I won't be watching it, but it's good to hear the recaps from Theory.

[@jeanpagette5019]

Your no fun

[@kgmoneyman]

Better than Ahsoka’s first two episodes IMO.

[@jeromystafford2537]

there's no fat navy seals, there should not be a fat jedi

[@nemersaad7785]

That’s master bloat

[@BG.994]

They have no true treats in this era and not all of them are knights

[@dylankroll]

I can hear the disappointment in your voice that it wasn’t as bad as everyone hoped. Honestly, it’s better than book of boba or kenobi first two. I wanted to hate it too.

[@ShodakonFury]

In the comparison of Obi-Wan and Yord, Obi-Wan also at least had personality. All and all, I find Sol and the briefness of Carrie-Anne Moss to be the only small saving grace of this show and I want to see the rumored horrific episode three to witness for myself. With how badly they’re treating the fans and the rumors of what it’s going to do, I’m prepared to mourn for Star Wars.

[@PFMFIT]

Shows mid just like every other disney original serries. I thought ep. 2 was better and more exciting tbh cuz the twin sister reveal made it interesting. Although the squid games guy is stealing the show which I don't mind. I'm semi excited to see where the story goes.

[@ItsGreasy-qf6yw]

5:55 I’m pretty vernestra is talking about how the situation is different when the accused was Osha vs Mae. Not that Osha has already done something in the past, but that they thought Osha was the assassin and now they know she isn’t.

[@Alexander-ry3dx]

Surprisingly good so far...

[@joeramsay6269]

I’m loving Acolyte so far 🤷‍♂️

[@NasTalkz]

I liked this because it was a new take on Star Wars, and it felt fresh and new. I’m tired of the typical zero to hero stories.

[@Swaglander]

Ngl… I didn’t like some of the flaws about the poison stuff but I did enjoy the two epsiodes
