What a surprise, a modern star wars writer is able to relate the most with an egotistical murderer. Though after seeing the interview she did alongside Amandla Stenberg, it only makes too much sense.

[@andrewnoonan5275]

Re-edited. corrected a "flaw". I don't think many are gonna look too much at slight inconsistencies. On the whole, was not looking for intellectual drama, only escapist fun. Here's what i would do with inconsistencies- In earlier timeline, Sol stops & pauses, then looks at osha. Osha instinctively asks what's wrong. Sol replies, saying he can't empathically sense any thoughts or feelings from her. But strangely could when younger. Sol privately wonders if now older Osha has developed a more "mature" barrier against him. In his experience, it's not the first time this has happened & suspects it won't be the last either. During the battle with the "adversary" in helmet, Sol ponders on whether Mae has this same innate ability to block his senses of her. As the battle begins, sol looks for Osha & is concerned that Mae might use this time to get to Osha, use her as a hostage to flee from here. Or worse, persuade her to follow her. Sol calls out to her. He quickly looks back & sees 2 Jedi fall. He Quickly stops calling for her. Putting his fellow Jedi first, he rushes towards the fray. The Sith expertly draws them further away from Sol, widening the distance between him & the skirmish. By now, The last of the day's sun leaves the horizon & as "darkness" envelops all, a palpable feeling of fear seems to "preternaturally" radiate out towards Sol & jedi in waves. As if the darkness itself was strengthening this strange sith. In each jedi mind, their training against fear & mind manipulation takes over. They whisper their taught mantras against this attack. "Fear is the killer of thought & strategy. I shall not fear, for the force is my strength & guide" One of the jedi falters & literally, he begins to shake, then go "rigid" as uncontrollable fear literally freezes his actions. The others ignore this, but "position" themselves between the victim & sith. Light flashes from their sabers, then coruscate as theirs clashes with the sith. The sith attempts to reach the frozen victim, but now sol enters the fray. As he does so, the Sith "smiles", & as he smiles, a sound of cracking branches & heavy breathing, faint at first emanates mere inches away from Sol. Sol's actual feeling of fear this time feels it's "a warning" to turn around. He quickly whirls around, while the other 2 confronts the Sith. Sol gasps !! Surprise & shock sets in momentarily as the force "manifests" an "ethereal" Sith, garbed in ancient old republic era. An ancient sith ghost conjured by this sith ??? Sol always theorised that if the jedi could call on the dead, then maybe the sith could as well?? But an incorporeal capable of fighting them ? Sol sees the ghost is unarmed, but nevertheless strikes diagonally down at it !!... ....Nothing happened ?? Sol strikes again ! Again the light saber passes harmlessly through this ghost. The ghost looks to the Sith, as if waiting for instructions. While the sith feverishly battled on, the sith stole a moment to quickly glance at the ghost, then towards the frozen victim. The ghost sith understood, then moved straight through Sol, then "thrust" his hand deep into the chest of the frozen victim. A silent scream flashed across the face of the victim as his heart is violently squeezed. Blood trickles from victim's mouth as he gasps his last breath ! By now, Jeck Lon has eventually overpowered & handcuffed Mae, but hearing the ongoing battle feels she might be needed. Sol, seeing Yord & remaining knights are still alive orders them to attack sith while he confronts the apparition. Sol uses the force to "push" the ghost away from battle. Then he closes his eyes & concentrates, trying to telekinetically "rend to shreds" the apparition. The ghost "falters & wails" momentarily, then "re-coalesces" & laughs !! One by one the ghost focuses on each jedi, deliberately leaving Sol to the sith, quickly moving "through" sol & thrusting his hand over each victim's heart. Yord valiantly fights on as Sol continuously tries using the force to push away and rend the ghost. By now, sol is weakening. Just as Yord gains the upper hand, the ghost snatches at yord's heart. Yord grimaces in sheer pain & looks at helpless Sol, whose face by now is contorted with emotional frustration & helplessness !! The sith hovers over yord & laughs. The sith quickly raises his saber & cuts off the arm of yord whose still alive. Sol lunges at sith while his friend agonisingly dies. Just then, the full moon" comes out from beneath the clouds & bathes the apparition in white light. The ghost howls & fades to nothing. Now the battle is even !! But sith manages to cut Sol's saber, disabling it. Sol, now defenceless backs away. Osha, who watches on helplessly now has an idea. She charges her stun gun to overload & uses it as an EMP bomb. Sith's saber dies out. Quickly, osha attaches 2 found light sabers to the side of her "floating bot" companion, then orders it to sol. With sabers on outer side of bot means sith cannot see them. The sith senses the danger & sends out a force grip towards the bot flying towards sol. But the bots "slippery" suspensor fields causes sith to loose grip. However, "one" of those sabers, partly caught by force grip drops to floor. Sith sees it & force pulls it successfully to himself as Sol grabs the other. By now, Jecki Lon has arrived at the scene. Sol, still unsure of his odds sees Lon is way too inexperienced & quickly orders her to escort osha back to the ship & leave !! Just as lon escorts osha away, she notices a glint of shiny metal reflecting the moon's light in the dirt ground, strangely drawn to it, she realises one of those in battle had dropped it ?? She picks it up & as she does so, an enchanting "whisper", only she can hear, whispers into her mind. Sol Shouts at her again, shaking her loose of this whispering. With senses regained, she beckons osha to follow her. As they pass through area where creatures are, osha says she has an idea. She quickly orders her "hovering/flying" droid to "light up". The creatures above "shriek" then dive to her. Osha "holds onto" flying droid tightly then orders it to fly as fast as possible to sol ! Lon screams at her, but can do little. The little droid dodges between ever thickening clots of tree trunks & branches as creatures gets nearer & nearer. Osha screams as teeth bites into her leg. She desperately tries to kick it off & orders bot to fly faster. Another bites into her arm, but bot zaps it with an extending probe. Osha can feel the poison sinking into her & begins to loose grip. At that precise moment, the bot arrives, just as sol is losing ground. As Osha loses consciousness she orders bot to fly & attach to the back of sith, then slips from the bot to the ground at high speed ! The bot, travelling at high speed, slams into back of sith, sending him forward to the ground. The creatures race in & engulf both !! The bot switches off it's lights as many sink teeth & poison claw into sith. The sith manages to kill a few, but more engulf him, carrying his fighting body away. Sol, caught by the impact of both is also sent flying, but now unconscious !! Delirious with poison, osha gets up & walks aimlessly into the forest. It's then mae finds her. Not knowing if the sith is still alive & sensing her sister might not make it, she decides to take her place. Dowsing the "front" of her hair in wet, stench bog", she then uses the saber to cut off that part. The muck/slime & stench masks any possibility of saber burn smells. She remembers her tattoo on forehead & promptly uses found saber to burn off tattoo.

[@LordHollow]

Looks like Jeckie hit his helmet with her hilt twice, which supports the brittle nature of the metal that shorts out lightsabers, iirc.

[@Gavcool31]

Yall will never understand how peaceful life is when you just watch shows and find things you like about them. The hate for this episode is crazy because that ahit was fire asf. Sure it had some points that didnt make total logical sense but its a fucking show it doesnt affect your life in any tangible way

[@EpicFudgemuffin]

16:39 He was speaking figuratively. Smilo Ren implied that Sol hid his "true face" from his padawan by obfuscating what happened in Brendok. 26:44 Cortosis is brittle. It's only good against energy-based weapons. 35:08 I got the impression that the saber lights weren't bright enough to activate the bugs, just make them irritable. The flashlight was clearly much brighter.

[@nathanroyster1324]

it actually would've been dope to play up the bugs during the saber fights. Qimir could've used it as a tactic. Engage then turn off his saber and let the bugs snatch up jedi into the night.

[@LordHollow]

Why didn't the bugs attack when all of those lightsabers were ignited?

Wait until the Sith Lord turns out to be a Trans Sith Lord, once one of the witches. What is disrespectful is that the Sith’s dialogue is actually Headland speaking to her parents. 180 million dollar therapy session. Mae is a coward, she switches to whatever side she thinks is going to win.

[@jeckjeck3119]

Subverting NO expectations is a good thing. Remember game of thrones and the last jedi? Sometimes, we are better of without stupid twists.

I honestly thought Osha would say "they were attracted to the light" here 34:58, you know "target audience".

[@quitwastinmytime]

I will point out that scientists just figured out that bugs aren't actually attracted to light. They simply orient themselves by keeping their backs to the light. Works pretty well with sun or moon light being so far away, but it causes them to just orbit around lightbulbs. Very sad. I guess the bugs long, long ago hadn't realized this yet

It's crazy that people want to hate on the show. George Lucas has said lots of times that star wars is made for kids. 12 year Olds he said. He also said that these are his stories and he past them down to the people he trusts to continue his story. But grown people that can't get past Luke and Vader chose to hate on everything after the original. Get over it! Star wars wasn't just made for your expectations. It's for the next generation of kids. To keep star wars alive. But lots of you think you know better then George Lucas!

lol, that really is nothing to complain about. We are talking about a galaxy as big as the milky way. But of course star wars makes every planet seem like its just a few miles down the road.

[@fionnaitsradag5152]

@@anthonygordon9483 I guess my question is, why couldn't he use Force push on the bugs? He can use it on multiple Jedi.

[@anthonygordon9483]

​@@fionnaitsradag5152 The bugs were coming at him at all directions. Jedis can be distracted. For example a enterage of laser bullets to block. My point is that there is far more worse things on the show to complain about then that. Jedis can be distracted. The show proved that by having Mai kill the first jedi by distracting her. And I think that is a play on how much a jedi can block lasers. They can only concentrate on so much before you have a opening to kill them unguarded. Another better question would be why didnt the bugs attack all the jedis and sith when their light sabers were glowing. For the fact that they were fighting with light sabers should of attracted the bugs on everyone.

[@JoeNasr123]

I know throwing a lightsaber LOOKS cool, but damn that’s gotta be the stupidest thing you can do. Even if you can control it with “the Force” - what’s to stop a Jedi from slicing it in half with a well timed strike? Or grabbing it, if they’re skilled enough. Then who’s laughing, Smylo?😂

[@weilam03]

or force pushing it back at you. then you have a force saber yo-yo going back and forth

[@Alpha___00]

It works against non-forceusers fine. Against force users you really should be wary about those things. Especially if there are more than one.

[@Infrared-nyne]

By that logic you're also criticizing Darth Vader as that is a move he definitely uses. If you wanna go down that route then Vader also uses "stupid tactics"

[@dariovirga7711]

There was this cool variant in Jedi Academy with the 2 saber style: bladelock with one blade and forcemaneuver the other in an arc to slash the opponent across the back

[@spartanMN300]

Or, because of game physics, it gets stuck behind a pillar while you’re getting shot at!

[@omnianimator8468]

Are Jedi's power rangers, why aren't they "allowed" to escalate? You think a cop won't pull a gun on a violent criminial because the criminial doesn't have a gun, so now they have to win in a one on one fist fight. Thats a silly rule.

[@differssmith4434]

Use of force model, cops do not escalate. Which is pointless in this as even without a light saber a Jedi/sith is not unarmed.....they literally trained to use unarmed fighting

[@Re-PhantomZero]

It is complete nonsense and a complete lack of knowledge of the lore, the Jedi used deathly force endlessly throughout the franchise, the Jedi are not even close to anything related to our reality, they are not cops.

They killed off every single Jedi who was in the main cast except the main one. I can’t even remember names at this point and I’m like “now there is barely any cast?!” And I was like “oh they killed that Jedi that I don’t even know their name” how can I form a bond to them if they don’t have a personality…..I had zero bond to these people.

That brings me back. Loved those two shows .

[@nerferx]

Cortosis ore was a very rare, brittle, fibrous material, the conductive properties of which would cause lightsabers to temporarily short out upon contact and has been brought into canon. What erks me with this episode is how useless the Jedi Masters are in combat, and how a padawan fights better than all the masters that die. The writers and directors definately don't understand power scaling.

[@predat11]

I would've liked them making the sith more methodical and sadistic where the padawan struggled even to match blows flinching from his strength making him laugh, maybe even put a hand behind his back to taunt her effortlessly blocking what she can do playing with his food giving time for the master to return instead, of course, making the female padawan somehow be able to hold her own like a master can. Even threw away the guy who had the upperhand coming to ambush him because he was male. Really makes all of them seem so incompetent

[@randalx]

My theory is Mae succeeds in killing a Jedi unarmed and Squid game never informs the Jedi. Therefore Master Forehead never finds out about the Sith underbite. And I believe she succeeds not by killing him but getting him to give up being a Jedi. I think the four Jedi actually killed all the witches and Mae knows this. So she’ll guilt trip him into giving up. Hopefully they don’t overdo it and have Squid convert to the dark side as that would be too unbelievable. I’m sure they would not allow such bad writing on a multi million dollar show.

[@Alpha___00]

I think they were patting each other backs because “we foreshadowed all of it, we are so smart”. Well, CW SW it is

[@xtrafunk]

weirdly enough I found stuff to enjoy in this episode even though it still clocked at least 3 unintentional laugh out loud moments. the fight choreography is solid and several of the better characters got screentime. kind of a bummer that mae and osha are still the weakest link, both in terms of storytelling and acting.

[@JoeNasr123]

Wow you got this review up FAST! Good stuff, thank you. Also I love your wardrobe, that black jacket is slick. That being said, I do have to disagree about Jecki - you said they should’ve built it up, I think this show did WAY too much telegraphing of everything else, lol. So it was the only truly pleasant surprise of the episode to see her turn out to be a total bad ass! 😂 Cheers!

[@Kiwi-Araga]

When Jar Jar's stupidity isn't killing people, his luck does help others. That makes him more useful than the protagonist of this show and anyone else. Also the choreography of the fights does not hide the fact that those Jedi were asking to be killed. There many opportunities for them to deal some serious blows to the totally not a Sith dude, yet they were either doing nothing when they had an opening, or charged in without a single thought. If Jar Jar was there with a baseball bat probably would have defeated the bootleg Kylo Ren in two minutes due to some weird circumstances.

[@J3335]

Sol and Qimir are likely brothers/cousins, Qimir means Moon in Arabic. Maybe they came from a dark side family - Sol was also taken by the Jedi against the family's wishes??? and so when Qimir questions showing his face, he means Sol has only ever put on a mask of his real feelings/intentions about the Jedi. Who knows?

[@J3335]

Of course they could be going for a play on the Ra/Apophis thing, the light and dark, but I don't know if they're that deep.

[@AliceBowie]

I don't think so, because Seoul saw Smylo's face back in the apothecary shop. Maybe he never met him, but I think they would force recognize the family connection.

Too bad Darth Gimp killed X23. With all that angry screaming and aggressive fighting.... She was surely destined to be a sith. I've never seen a Jedi Scream during a battle. They usually hide all emotions. But that's asking a lot from a female.... Even a Jedi. Which makes me wonder.... Can a female version a Jedi without eventually going dark side? I say no. Which makes me think that bald yoda is probably the real sith lord behind Darth Gimp.

[@Nightc1tyronin]

Hand to hand combat when you have access to lightsabers is so goofy. This is Star Wars, you’re Jedi and “Sith”. Use the force and duel, not karate. I’m not saying there isn’t a place to hand to hand in the universe, but in this situation it feels silly. 90% of the Jedi on planet have just been wiped out by this dude (who happens to be Mae’s master), get serious and cut them down. We want lightsaber duels in Star Wars, not Enter the Dragon kung fu. This is the only show in the franchise that made up this stupid “a jedi only draws his weapon when he intends to kill somebody” rule. This rule has been proven false a hundred times now. Also, head butting a lightsaber is one of the most ridiculous things I’ve ever seen. Yes Cortosis is a thing, but 1. They haven’t explained it to people who don’t know the lore , 2. We’ve never seen this happen before, and 3. Lightsabers are highly deadly plasma swords that can cut through almost anything, seems silly to not be able to cut through a tiny helmet. If they wanted to show Cortosis off, it could have been implemented in a much better way imo. This show is so unserious and goofy. I’m blown away that people genuinely think that this episode has saved the show and erases every other shitty thing about it.

Smilo Ren is kinnda badass ngl. Helmet is stupid tho.

[@dariovirga7711]

The point is, he's scrawny, so the helmet makes his head enormous

[@chinitopinoy1726]

@@dariovirga7711 he looks pretty cut. Look at his arms. lol

[@BadBrucey]

Honestly I thought they were going to pull a Black Widow and reveal that Smilo Ren was Mommy Many.

[@krakalicious5277]

The dust is spice. The wookie jedi was a spice farmer on the down low. why are the saber battles SO DARK! it's like a rave.

[@a.a.werding2620]

Twist: the secret Sith master is Ki Adi Mundi, don‘t tell anyone😂 and he‘s wearing a couch cushion under a bald cap.

[@adriankuban2904]

That helmet and arm armor is made from Cordosis metal it was in Star Wars Legends and in Star Wars Canon in Thrawn first book Where he was with Anakin on mision during clone wars. And in Vader comic during Imperium.

[@octaviovaladaoferreirinhad2689]

One of the most interesting things about your commentary is that, unlike conservative viewers who lose their minds from the beginning because of the show's ideology, you were able to focus entirely on describing how simply stupid this show is.

[@gclcreativedesigner2611]

I think Darth Wataryu is awesome, especially 1 Sith can kill lots of Jedi.

[@mrplimbles7803]

I enjoyed this episode, my one gripe is that not one of the ten Jedi that got stibbed got a single echo of emotion from anyone bar Sols reaction to Jeki. You would think seeing our colleagues and friends getting massacred around you would illicit some response

[@nmmrg]

Mae is a bad character and Osha is underdeveloped. Imagine what they could have done if they just ditched the twin gimmick and developed a single character in that screen time.

[@linthitmyo8969]

So this is the fight that's gonna rival phantom menace? A bunch of lightsabers swinging behind the trees.

[@Zyklon_B_still_and_know_God]

One of the few actually analyzing this as a production and not just crying about political stuff

[@jhipoulter775]

Look this has been peace time for the Jedi, I like the idea of the Padewan having sharper light saber fighting skills being fresh out of training compared to the others who have gotten rusty then Sol being great because he stays sharp teaching. Still poorly written arc though

[@raziusx5933]

If this train wreck gets renewed for two more seasons, THIS will become the fastest-growing KZbin channel. I’ve watched around 20 reviews (for each of the episode) based on the view count and yours are the most fun! They better keep the same team, especially the showrunner and the scriptwriters, and bring back all the dead Jedi for season 2: “somehow, the Jedi have returned!”. This show could thrive on its controversy alone. It's so bad that I no longer want it canceled - I’m having too much fun and find myself more impatient for the reviews than the episodes themselves.

[@EraldoCoil-ce1vz]

What I got from this episode is that in episode 2 if they just went up to him and tried to use the force to make the dude confess he would have been outted as the sith then and there by either having his mind read or resisting the force with his own power so not doing that was just for the sake of the plot and nothing else

[@Stark-Cinema]

Smart input where I respect it

[@lenajohnson6179]

Good. Subverting expectations is stupid.

[@Stark-Cinema]

What I meant is that it didn't subvert expectations with the plot and how dumb it is again lmaoo

[@justhereforthetragedy]

Nah, my money is still on the green bald jedi as the final boss.

[@Nightc1tyronin]

1000%. I’d be blown away if they didn’t make her the final boss.

[@PersonallyPerhaps]

27:52 they did the most obvious thing because they thought how I used to think as a child the the most obvious thing is too obvious for people to think of.

[@durere]

hate to break it to you, but that's how the actual world works apparently. Case in point: the pandemic.

Pathetic. You can tell they are on a set

you mean thats not a real fantasy forest that doesn't match our own? wow.

[@RaymondSanders-f8c]

Disney Space Show TV Series is Canon 😂😂 oh my goodness

[@RaymondSanders-f8c]

I do love all the fun new Content about new Disney crud 😁😁

[@normansioson1337]

I finally figured out why Master Sol is mostly absent in most of the fights and suddenly appearing... He actually got Master Trinity's "High Ping"... Also, he also has the force capability to pull Jecki and Yord away from Smilo Ren to prevent their deaths but... he got the "High Ping" now... Also, in retrospect, Master Sol and Jecki are to blame to all of this because they went with their idea about Qimir on the apothecary instead of Yord's in episode 2...

[@Stark-Cinema]

Absolutely brilliant. Best comment of the day 😂

[@charleshartley9597]

So Osha runs *away* from Yord with a wounded leg, Smilo pursues, Sol shows up, and in the intervening minute or two we have to watch the red saber flying back and forth, and Yord shows up next to Osha? Why didn't he attack Smilo? He *should have* been coming up behind him. Instead, he circled around to show up there? Seems convenient.

[@Skjorrious]

I just caught myself in thinking ;"yes! New Acolyte episode". I must've now fully converted from enjoying watching Starwars to enjoying watching the shitshow unfold and tear itself down.

[@lilmovieperp3599]

lol sad u have to virtue signal this

[@Skjorrious]

@@lilmovieperp3599 ... virtue... signal? Last I checked disliking the Acolyte and Obi-Wan wasn't a virtue. But maybe it should be? And in that reality; sure - my virtue signal is the size of the fucking Batman symbol

[@tylercoker9767]

ur lights in the back look like the lightsabers in rebels i fw it

[@mydreaminorbit9297]

I can see how easily people can be pleased by lightsabers and pew pew. Sure, this episode had some decent action but that doesn't take away the horrendous writing surrounding it. The same people that hated Andor love this crap.

[@Stark-Cinema]

Some people are so mad at me for whining about this shit and I wonder if they even understand the value or logical analysis and quality of story telling to any degree
