The Acolyte Episode 3 BREAKDOWN! Is THIS Missing Something?

The Acolyte episode 3 is HERE!
And the flashbacks to Brendock we have been asking for have arrived!
BUT only from Osha's perspective, and it does NOT tell the full story!
Now we will have to wait!
HOWEVER this episode did tell us why Osha and Mae are so important AND gave us so much information about The Witches in Star Wars and how they use the Force or The Thread!

What do you rate episode 3 out of 10? 🤔

[@DarkJediFarkas]

6/10 it was my least favorite episode so far. But not gonna lie they made me curious.

[@brandonbaker3208]

I give episode 3 7/10

[@agahnim0196]

6.5... because it lacked resolution... it might get higher or lower depending on the grander context of the next episodes.

[@Mandounited]

I need to watch it again as there was a lot going on! I am thinking around 7/10 at the moment, it left me with more questions than ever 😁

[@Xyma-YT]

8/10

[@CATDRL2]

We waited for a flashback, but like the previous two episodes, the flashback not only gave us new information but also raised so many new questions. Yes, an additional episode from a Jedi or perhaps Mae's point of view is in order. Whether or not that occurs next is a new question. Maybe we go back to the current time and return to this later. Learning so much more about Witch and Jedi knowledge is exciting, paralleling what we have seen before and introducing new concepts, especially child creation. I agree that the episode is not as good as the previous two, but I give it a 9 for world-building, cultural development, and gaining more knowledge of the Witches and it's liken to a "Tales of the Witches" episode. It's wonderful to explore another cultural aspect of "using the force." Star Wars is really expanding its storylines, and that's exciting for all of us and the fans need to be open to this. Well done breakdown, I love your sarcasm and your great voice.

[@stevena.7022]

Did you have a question from episodes 1-2 that was answered in episode 3? I'm trying to understand what the mystery is exactly.

[@aguywholovesstarwars]

Thanks Tony! Yeah there is so many unanswered questions! and I thought this week was going to answer some of them BUT it only added more!!!!

[@susanfreehan4098]

Thankyou for the update and for not dissing the episode just because it was different----Im glad to be seeing such new handling of the jedi and star wars history ---want to see the whole season as the creators roll it out

[@aguywholovesstarwars]

Of course! Thanks for watching the videos!

[@unafearless342]

I give the episode a 10/10, I really liked it even though it raised more questions. 😅 Good breakdown video, yours is the first I watched right after I saw the episode. Yes, I just got up and the Acolyte was the first thing on my list for today. 😊

[@aguywholovesstarwars]

NICE! And thank you! Yeah I enjoyed this episode quite a bit! Wasn't my favorite episode so far BUT cant wait for more!

[@schutzaustin]

To me the show feels like it is trying to be an origin story for Darth Plagueis, beyond what it is already doing. I've enjoyed it so far.

[@freakzeke6404]

This was definitely from a certain point of view with Osha as the focus and I can't wait to see the full scope of this incident. Another intriguing mystery to have solved is the creation of the twins which is something very interesting to find out how similar or different it is to Anakin's birth.

[@aguywholovesstarwars]

Yeah that was cool to see! But I want to see the other points of view NOW!!!! lol

[@josephricci6255]

The Master who is Vernestra Rwoh killed the Wicthes. Remember when Vernestra Rwoh says "I remember" in Episode 1. HINT HINT!

[@aguywholovesstarwars]

No I don't remember lol! Maybe you are right though! I have to go back and check

[@josephricci6255]

@@aguywholovesstarwars Hi Mike. How are you? I want you to look at something else too please. I want you to confirm what I am sharing with you to be true. It involved 3 scenes with "both girls talking". The first scene is at the Bunta Tree. The second scene is outside in front of the Jedi ship. The third scene is at the Broken Bridge. In all 3 scenes the "two girls" talk to each other. Mike, watch those 3 scenes very carefully. Listen to the words very carefully at the Tree and at the ship. Watch and listen very carefully when the camera flips back and forth from one girl to the other. The girls name's are in reverse. Watch it a a few times. Did you see what I am trying to explain to you? It is only ONE GIRL. Osha has a DOPPLEGANGER. Can you confirm that what I explained makes 100% sense. Furthermore I also know that a HORROR WRITER wrote every episode. His name is Jason Micallef. He was the Lead Writer in the Writer's Room. Additionally, Vernestra Rowe is the Master and she gave it away in Episode 1 when she said "I remember". Have a good day!

[@starchipsixtysix6844]

Great breakdown Mike. Watched it before I went to work. Do you get any sleep? I'm going to rewatch the episode for more clarity. So many questions, I need answers. This wasn't my favorite episode, but it does keep me wanting more. BTY, great watch party.

[@aguywholovesstarwars]

Thank you! And I went to bed after this posted around 5am! long night lol BUT worth every second!

[@joseocasio6733]

I like that the Force is the only thing to create a chosen one The whole purpose that palpatine tried to create force users and failed Mixed feelings

[@ngarciajr]

"Use the Thread, Luke" 😅

[@aguywholovesstarwars]

HAHAHAHA that would be awesome! Someone should go edit every time the force is used and replace it with Thread lol

[@rampapandiontinling]

So it seems like using the force is really just manipulating space-time. So dropping into sub-space to move stuff around without even knowing it.

[@Xyma-YT]

17:20 - Probably by / due to / because of the rubble that fell down on them!

[@aguywholovesstarwars]

Really? You think that they all just died due to falling rocks? I dont think so!

[@Xyma-YT]

@@aguywholovesstarwars idk tho ; might be too obvious =P

[@chrisschultze6974]

I rate episode 3 .... 8 out of 10. I thought really gave us more pieces of the puzzle and really, in my opinion, stuck to the Star Wars lore, especially about the Force and the legends of the witches. So I was pleased with the episode. Yes, I did have many questions with this episode and then I realized that it was a flashback of only one of the two twins' point of view, namely Osha. Then that last seen when we "see" Mae looking at the tree really opens the door to more "missing pieces to the puzzle". If this is Osha's point of view, then she would be thinking Mae died and therefore not be looking at the tree. Also, how and why would Osha be reminiscing about Mae looking at the tree. "Don't trust your eyes. They can be misleading." I'm seriously moving more and more to the split personality theory. This series is really , really good with much intrigue. I am digging it. I don't think we are going to see the other point of view flashback until later in the series. Maybe episode 6. Just my thoughts. Mike, your review here was spot-on and added more detail that I really think are important and I originally missed. 8 out of 10.

[@aguywholovesstarwars]

Thank you Chris! Love the take! There are definitely more flashbacks on the way its just a matter of when!

[@pcb462]

Really great breakdown. You can tell you have a lot of dedication to Star Wars and getting it right.

[@aguywholovesstarwars]

Thank you! This one took me a LONGGGG time lol

[@ChristopherStandardTime]

Great review, thanks for making it!

[@JediKnight_Revan619]

Great breakdown, well done as always 👏 🎉

[@aguywholovesstarwars]

Thank you! What do you rate the episode out of 10?

[@Sith_Vicious.]

Just a heads up, the zabrak species is weird. There is actually 2 types of Zabraks. The Maul/Ventress types from Dathomere, then the other more pink skin type like I think Eath Koth and that mother Koral who are from Irodonia. The Irodonian females have horns still where Dathomere females do not.

[@scycholistic]

Iridonians like Bao-Dur are technically the same race as Zabrak?

[@persephone342]

I wonder why the girls don’t share any Zabrak features with their mother that carries them. I’m wondering if Koril was nothing more than an incubator? The way the two girls blew past Koril and affectionately greeted Aniseya and my spidery senses activated. Those girls see Koril as they’d treat anyone else in the Coven. I felt sorry for Koril in that moment because I know it deeply hurt her.

[@randyrodriguez2398]

Good that the good vibe is still up/on, this show deserves it so far, i like it, it seems it could be something great, that's why maybe i don't like the nickname you give the master.. it can be funny, but if this series gets to be as good as I hope it can't have a meme adversary, but it`s just my opinion, keep rocking and stay safe!

[@aguywholovesstarwars]

Yeah no worries! I actually didn't come up with it! But it is easier to talk about the character if he has a name!

[@randyrodriguez2398]

@@aguywholovesstarwars yep, hope that sometime soon we can know who the master is, thanks for the answer!

[@rawar2132]

I gave it an 8.5 out of 10. We finally get a back story shown without breaks in it

[@brandonbaker3208]

I give episode 3 a 7.5 and I thought it was a interesting episode and the witches and their coven were very interesting to see on brendok and seeing it from Osha's perspective is interesting and seeing the acolyte's logo was cool and I think we wiil see the fight between kelnacca and torbin and sol in next week's episode and good breakdown video mike

[@user-zl9sh9mz6h]

Female Datomiri have always been shown as pale white, with no horns. Mother Koril has beige skin and horns, so she's an Iridanian Zabrak.

[@hoaxialcable]

So do you get passes and benefits/priviledges from Disney/Star Wars in any way that could easily be revoked from you by them?

[@StingRayZzy2]

This video was one hour ago from now?? Dang. Bros on a grind! 5 a.m! :O

[@aguywholovesstarwars]

Yeah it was a LONGGGG night lol! But it still took like 6 hours to fully finish!

[@agahnim0196]

Well... maybe the girls are a chosen one "prototype"... but the only way to contain that much power was to split it in two and make the twins... and Mae will pass down the knowledge to her own apprentice, who might end up being Plagueis.... and he will find a way to create a force life form that can contains all the Power in one single being, Anakin. But that's just a Theory... a Star Wars theory.

[@aguywholovesstarwars]

Yeah I'm working on a FULL video about this right now! This might be what leads to the creation of Anakin! Great minds think alike! And love the joke at the end lol

[@MikeSammusic]

6/10 not bad but definitely not as good as the first 2 episodes. Feels like it was just confirming what sol said in the first 2 episodes! Can’t wait to for next week though! Great breakdown!

[@aguywholovesstarwars]

Thanks! And I kinda agree! There was a lot of new info about the witches and how Mae and Osha were created! Hoping for MORE next week too!

[@kaygee2121]

Here's a theory for you.. The force created Grogu too. He was born around the same time as Anakin.

[@aguywholovesstarwars]

I don't hate it but I just think its more likely that Yoda and Yaddle had some off screen activities...

[@kaygee2121]

@@aguywholovesstarwars naturally of course 😜

[@persephone342]

What if Grogu and Anakin being born on the same day is actually part of the force’s plan? What if there is more than “One” person that is meant to bring balance to the force. In Religions around our own world, there is always a promised person meant to bring change, destruction, chaos, along with rebirth, respect for all living things, and love. Perhaps in an attempt to re-balance the force, different sects all have a version of this “prophecy” and the One. Anakin’s couldn’t be everywhere all at once. I think the show is trying to say that it takes Crew to pull off a mission. One person can not do what many together can.

[@shamrock73]

I think the Jedi destroyed the building not Mae.

[@aguywholovesstarwars]

Interesting! Do you think they were at least provoked by the witches OR did they do it on their own?

[@Simon07564]

That's actually a good theory that explains why master torbin felt so bad about what happened on brendock

[@dustinkennedy7055]

I really like this show so far I wonder who the Mysterious Dark side user/mr. smilie is ?

[@aguywholovesstarwars]

I know me too! Hopefully next week will give us some clarity on that!

[@georgelewis8831]

They want us to believe that the 4 Jedi killed all the witches - which is why fans are so pissed!

[@Morgansquad]

That’s why you think we’re pissed!!? Delusional

[@aguywholovesstarwars]

I actually think they might have! But not because they wanted to! The Witches most likely attacked first and took over Kelnaccas mind and had him fight against the Jedi! (we see this in the trailer)

[@forcehook]

@@aguywholovesstarwarsthis could also be the reason Torbin drinks the poison

[@carlosandres7006]

Fans were always pissed.

[@jdcsteelers498]

I honestly don’t hate this show. Yes, I hate the sequel trilogy but I have enjoyed the Star Wars shows actually. Mandalorian and Andor are top tier. Ashoka and BOBF had their moments. Love tales of the Jedi and empire. The issue with this show is the trailers sucked, the director has said some dumb stuff that’ll piss off the whole fan base and disneys personal agendas. I do think that people didn’t give this show a chance at all because of those things. This is a new story in a time period that we haven’t seen in live action. And a lot happened between then and the phantom menace

[@aguywholovesstarwars]

I agree! There is a lot that this show can give to us that will be VERY cool! I hope by the end we look back and say "wow that was a surprise to be sure but a welcome one!"

[@JediKnight_Revan619]

This episode should have been episode 1. This would have been a great episode to open this series for The Acolytes.

[@TheMandaloreAnimation]

Yeah actually it is.

[@aguywholovesstarwars]

I actually don't agree! If this was episode 1 fans would be even more confused and probably wouldn't wait for episode 2 to find out what's going on!

[@JediKnight_Revan619]

@aguywholovesstarwars how would fans be confused? We get the backstory of Mae and Osha and how they end up like they are now. Episode 1 would become episode 2, and episode 2 would be episode 3

[@TheMandaloreAnimation]

@@JediKnight_Revan619 yeah truthfully

[@alecjoncas7764]

Yeah but bro cmon now, the witch’s of dathomier still had men, the women were just the dominant sex. This is completely different, they literally somehow just created two babies out of thin air (or the force somehow). Like it’s not the same thing. Listen Ik you love starwars and I do too. I’ve defended, read and watched everything possible involved with Star Wars, and I don’t even think this is like super horrible in regards to the characters and I don’t care at all about any of the “woke” stuff. But what really just makes it bad is the production as it relates to writing, acting, and plot. Ik it’s a show but stuff just happens too fast and a lot of it just doesn’t make logical sense. There are so many parts where they could’ve cut some scenes out and put something else in and then it would actually be a pretty good show. But I catch myself every 3 minutes saying “that was strange, that didn’t really make sense, why did they do it like that, how is that possible, etc etc” right now I’m finding two extremes on each side, one absolutely hates it and points out the tiniest of details that aren’t really problems, and the other just completely ignores how bad the production is and acts like it’s a great show. If we’re all being honest it’s probably around a 4 to 5 out of 10 so far, it’s just eh, like nothing really great has happened yet but for sure some bad things have happened so it gets a little below average at 4 or if you wanna give it a break it’s right at average at a 5. It could for sure get much better and turn into a 6 or 7, but I can’t go higher then that since the first 3 episodes were just not written well

[@aguywholovesstarwars]

There are no men with the Witches on Dathomir or in any other witches coven lol! There are Men ON THE PLANET but those are Zabrak not witches

I think she has less affinity for the force so she is not able to wield it as good as Mae. That is the part of Ahsoka I liked the lest with what they did with Sabin. I think they should have kept her not being able to use it.

[@sollody]

She's let her abilities fade. Just like Sabine (most definitely) (:

[@aguywholovesstarwars]

GREAT question! She uses the force at the beginning on the Butterfly looking thing but is only able to hold it for a second! (she is untrained) But she goes off to the Jedi temple and spends the next 10 YEARS training! which is followed by 6 YEARS of NO training! So she is just out practice!

[@scycholistic]

I was irritatingly confused about how Osha had even heard of Jedi watching this. Didn't notice the ruins, but I'd give the episode a 4/10. Another flashback might clear some more of my confusion, but I can't let the poor dialogue and odd character choices throughout go.

[@sonnyhernandez9607]

Your video had me laughing so much because everything you said was very true and I agree with everything and your sarcasm clearly should remind people of a few things, especially how witches work by common knowledge, but we don’t know everything in Star Wars.

[@JediHangout]

I really liked this episode, it resonated with me. The element of Witchcraft and magick is very similar to the Force and the Jedi. I know this because I am a Witch and a Star Wars fan. I am uncertain why people always place Witches as female only because in real life they are both as it is a religion. The ritual they did in actually is called an invitation to the craft, but it does have the same connotations. They view The Force as Thread, which makes sense. Magick is energy and of course The Force is energy, both of which are created from all living things. Witches use Thread or Web as a terminology of magick. The Force has many elements of magick and I am not surprised about this because George Lucas did study Anthropology which has the study of religion, ritual and magick. If anyone has a problem with this, then they are not looking at the deeper concepts of the force and have not seen that magick is views as a balance of light and dark, male and female. Now on the plot of the episode. I really liked how things unfolded. I don’t think the Jedi were being viewed as a negative force and neither were the witches. I think both had no negative intentions for the other (except for Coral who I think there is more to her evilness than meets the eye. More on this later). We will see more of these events from the eyes of Mae and then the Jedi. Right now it’s from the eyes of Osha. Here is what I am suspecting. The fire that Mae started couldn’t have destroyed the entire coven with a burst of a huge fire. I think someone started it after the fire that Mae started. Here is where I think Coral comes into the picture. They were supposed to have a meeting that night and we didn’t see this meeting. So whatever happened in that meeting, this fire was the end result. I think that Coral might have turned against her coven. This is what I suspect. There is one other thing that I suspect that involved Coral and Mae. Notice that Coral was not among the bodies of the witches. Could Mae have died and Coral transferred her spirit into Mae’s body?

[@aguywholovesstarwars]

No I don't think Koril is still alive! BUT I am intrigued to see how Mae survived that! Really happy that you liked the episode!
