This was a waste of time and it should have just been in part 3. We are in episode 7 and these people been gone for 4 episodes and we don't care anymore. Plus one less episode and the budget would not have been 180 million instead 150 million. All in all this episode deserves a rating of 2

So the terrible thing that happened was that Sol kill the mother because she turned herself into a dark smoke and attempted to take the girl away instead of talking like a normal person. So the reason why that man killed himself was because he wanted to go home and went to the temple with Sol. All he did was reflect some arrows and a mind controlled Wookie Jedi. What wrong would he kill himself over?

[@larynOneka8080]

You can't break into someone's home and kill them because they won't let you kidnap their child. Breaking into someone's home, Kidnap and murder are crimes pretty much everywhere, including the fantasy world of Star Wars.

[@fmaries7000]

The padewon let his emotions and desire to leave that planet allow him to make the bad decision to just run towards the witches. As an adult, he still feels responsible for being the catalyst of everything that happened after he made that "choice". All the witches deaths were on him for the one choice he made.

[@gr8tbigtreehugger]

Torbin has full-on PTSD, plus he knows he was the reason it all happened and dozens died. Indara told him so quite bluntly.

[@Secretsongs20]

Mae is mistaken as to what her mother said. It makes a big difference. Mother Aniseya says « the Ascension is about sacrificing a part of yourself ». Mae reports it as « everyone must be sacrificed. » so it could be that the twins’ lives were not in danger at all and the Jedi misunderstood their intent

[@exoticcarfactsofficialchan7050]

Exactly. It's just a case of a "child" misunderstanding something that an adult/parent says and then repeating it badly and without any context

[@officermurdoch4120]

This is clearly the case. Sol feared the kids would be sacrificed.

How was the power of one able to defeat the power of many? That defeated the whole premise of the of the series.

[@Jiraiyashouse666]

Truth...I was like so much for the power of many lol. Let's all join together so we can get killed at the same time!!!

[@payne6454]

Because their collective weight was dangling by a thread, which Indara easily cut. So power of many has a super vulnerable weakness apparently :D Which is even more stupid, because why sacrifice the power of many to just force control 1 person, you already outnumber them, just overwhelm them in numbers since power of many is so powerfull WTF :D You literally balanced the situation out of your favor by converting many force powerfull witches into 1 single foe. So 32 witches vs 4 jedi became 1 vs 3 :DDDDD

[@togeika]

it was a backlash. Obviously they were not weaponless and their mind weapons when cut, fell upon them.

[@madisonbordenave4869]

My thoughts exactly. In episode 3 they show that the power of one is still stronger than the power of two when the lead mother pushes back the two witches by herself lol. Also if the whole ascension is about putting OSHA and Mae back into one body then it also contradicts the importance of the power of many. The things set up in this show are immediately contradicted in the next scene and motivations for characters appear and disappear on the dime. This episode was so bad it retroactively made the rest of the show even worse somehow

[@russellstevens9927]

A Jedi vs a bunch of witches in a cult? Get outta here!

[@AngryPug76]

So the mother turns into smoke to attack the Jedi who are there for Osha instead of letting Osha go, which she still intended to do according to her dying words just so there could be a fight in the story? Just like how Mae kept trying to kill the Jedi she was trying to surrender to just so there could be a fight in the story? The characters are literally insane. And it makes no sense that Jedi who routinely take away people’s autonomy with mind tricks would be THAT guilt ridden over what they did while being mind manipulated by dark side users. The writers of this show know less about writing believable people than they do about Star Wars and they obviously know next to nothing about Star Wars.

[@fmaries7000]

At that point, mother Anisaya made a bad "CHOICE". She did not turn into smoke to attack the jedi. She chose that time to try and converge her consciousness with mae cus she was going to let osha go. Sol took it as an attack on mae. We see how convergence works when mother Coral* converges her consciousness into kalnaca in order to use his body to attack the other jedi.

I don't have any connection to those witches. They feel so forced to me. It is a little like many of the deaths in episode 5. I only knew Jecky and Jord and that only a little but I knew none of the many faceless Jedi who died in the fight. And that is similar with the witches. The only one whose motivations I can understand is mother Anissea but even Coral. I do not know why a mother who loves her child should get violent because she explicitly expressed their wish to train somewhere else. She will not loose her child only it goes to University on a different planet. I believe all the witches , maybe exept mother Annisea are alive. The agression came clearly from the witches. And I feel it self righteous and stupid to use Sol as a scapegoat for the whole desaster.

[@Johnny_3_Putt]

I’m trying so hard to shut off my brain and enjoy this show. For the most part I can, but once I start thinking it really falls apart. Things like why didn’t Sol hold the girls up instead of the bridge? Why was Kilnaka combing the forrest with a metal detector? And who did the casting? The Zabrak Mom’s acting is so abrupt and strange that it pulls me out of the story. I think there is a good story to be found in this show, but I’m not sure we’re getting the best version. But hey, it’s the only new Star Wars we have, so I’m going to try to enjoy it.

[@skofijak]

Maybe it was easier to grab the bridge as it was like closer at least the front part? I don't know I never used the force. You ask the force to do something, maybe force wanted to save only one girl, or only one girt to be with Sol, they are created by the force and will be killed by the force. Its a fantasy series not scifi.

[@ichigen511]

What you said makes sense. Especially your last sentence. I've been getting disappointed with Star Wars since I was 11 years old in 1983 and got mildy disappointed by Return of the Jedi. It felt like a huge tonal shift from family friendly/borderline mature to a movie made for children. BUT. I still loved the movie because cool ships, lightsabers, cool droids, speederbikes, etc, etc. There is ALWAYS something in any Star Wars movie of TV that I can get excited about. It's enough for me just to be in this galaxy, far, far away. As much as I roll my eyes (ever since 1983) I still have fun in George's sandbox. For example, just seeing Kelnacca with a metal detector propbably annoyed many fans but I liked it. Anyways, cheers!

[@Hemlock-wi3vj]

I still don’t understand what traumatised Torbin and Kelnacca

[@TheHestbech]

The black eye takeover? Even though the witches are dead, they apparently left some of their stuff inside Kelnaccas mind - hence the drawings and whatnot in his hut. I guess same thing with Torbin. Forever feeling schizophrenic😬

[@ace1insuburbia2100]

well Torbin because he was following his personal feelings to want to leave that planet after 7 months which is why he went with Sol to get Osha and go home Kelnacca because he knew they were wrong in the 1st place and was just following command but he knows the truth vs the Lie they are going with

[@exoticcarfactsofficialchan7050]

Torbin was weak and fell to the Darkside, Kelnacca felt remorse because he attacked a person with his claws (a mad claw) which is a huge no-no in the Wookie culture. Sol was just a poor excuse for a jedi. Very undisciplined and prideful and that led to the whole disaster

[@andweknow8287]

I was really hoping we would get some kind of hint or clue to how Qimir is involved in all of this. That to me is the real mystery

[@officermurdoch4120]

It will be revealed in the last episode, for sure.

[@discobroccoli198]

As someone who’s been enjoying this show, this episode was quite disappointing. I was getting visibly irritated about how much time was being wasted showing things we already saw in episode 3. All week, I was hoping that only half the episode would be a flashback and the rest of the episode would focus on Mae and Osha’s reactions to learning the truth and more of Qimir’s corruption of Osha. And on top of all that, the reveal of what really happened wasn’t even that crazy or interesting. I struggle to see how they will rap all this up in one episode next week especially with the length supposedly being the same as this one.

[@togeika]

It is interesting. Sol has Mae but she already knows the truth. She was there when it happened. Sort of a plot glitch. It is Osha that wasn't present when Sol killed the mother and Idara kill the rest of the Coven with the Jedi severing that blasted the witches, except for the horned mother.

[@Airhead348]

Yup I thought the same. We got 35min left and this episode did nothing.

[@ays0nable]

The show was a tribute to Kurosawas Rashomon. If you watch it, it depicts two different perspectives of the same scene. Which is why we saw this again. Don’t be mad, just understand the why this was done first.

[@aguywholovesstarwars]

Hmmm interesting, but then wouldn’t the fire kill them after the Jedi left even if they were still alive?

[@LIGHTLORD_MASTA_RAWRGER]

Or the Jedi forced killed them all to cut the link on the controlled Jedi

[@fmaries7000]

I think sol thought the witches were going to sacrifice the twins and that's y he becomes so desperate to save the twins. Keeping in mind that the episode is called CHOICE, YES! there were a ton of bad choices made by pretty much everyone. Also at 19:22 of this vid, mother Anisaya* is talking to the other witches. If you look behind her there is a person standing against the wall in a black robe. Very sus. Check it out. Perhaps it's Qimir?

[@countwild3522]

Btw: I now know why Kelnacca went into seclusion … after the connection with the witches was broken by Indara those 20 witches were stuck in his mind. Must be quite a beehive inside his head since then.

[@impactsuit9871]

So, the "real answer" to what happened was, the most obvious possible thing every one could´ve figured out since episode 3? So, basically to this show to work, the characters, specially the jedi must work out of their character all the time, just for the sake of making the p0lot progress? amazing

[@yoyomayne]

I think Mother Aniseya was just doing what mother Talzin has done in clone wars to escape danger, turn to smoke and dissapate away

[@stevena.7022]

Probably don't do that mid conversation 😂

[@mykotron]

I think Vernestra threw away Qimir and Tenebrous took over his training as a Sith. As a gift Qimir helped Tenebrous find the “vergemce” the twins… and is bringing them back to him since Tenebrous created them with the witches. The witches did something to create the twins that the Jedi would not like. Hence they wanted to hide how they created the twins from the Jedi. They did it with the help of a Sith, Tenebrous. So Mae will leave the Jedi like Qimir did to become a Sith… but I think Qimir will be killed by Tenebrous. To retain the power of two.

[@russellstevens9927]

The only thing Sol did wrong, was killing Mother Aniseya (who was clearly unarmed). The rest of it was totally within reason. Mother Koril was the one that encouraged Mae to do something crazy. Qimir is clearly the bad guy here. 😂😂😂

[@stevena.7022]

If you turn into a Dementor out of nowhere you get lightsabered.

So Osha still doesn't know since Sol confessed to Mae.

[@aguywholovesstarwars]

She was trying to teleport herself and Mae out of there. Mother Talzin does the same thing but in a green mist.

the witches were knocked out by indara but the fire that Mae started ended up killing them.

[@JediHangout]

Did you catch Kylo Ren's Theme in this episode? It was slightly there, there is something for sure connected. One thing from all the reviews on KZbin, most of those who are hating it have not even once mentioned about Kylo's Theme nor is even recognizing there is some kind of connection. Let's see what the connection is next week.

[@frederickkeith8054]

Indarra tells Sol that the council decided neither to allow them to bring the twins to Coruscant nor to separate them from the coven. She wouldn't let Sol talk to the council, and she wouldn't let him face judgement. Sixteen years later Yord and Jecki mention to Sol that there is no record in Osha's file that she was a twin. Sol pauses and looks like he just realized something. At the time I wondered if he had accidentally revealed information he hid from the Jedi. If Indarra talked to the council about the twins, and Indarra reported that Mae started a fire and the coven members died, why does Osha's file not mention a sister? Sol realized the Jedi never knew about Mae. Indarra never told them Mae existed. Sol never questioned it because he didn't want to bring it up. Then, sixteen years later when Mae is revealed to be alive, who is not only unsurprised to see her but even says he's been waiting for her? Indarra's apprentice. I feel like Indarra did something significant that we haven't seen and maybe Torbin learned about it later.

[@dominicbroome9381]

After some research the concept of Vergence has been brought up in Panthom menace when Qui Gon actually calls Anakin a vergence in the force. Even Mace Windu was surprised that a vergence was concentrated around a human.

[@freakzeke6404]

We get the incident in full and it's between Sol and Torbin who let their emotions overtake them due to fear and misunderstanding. Indara remained level-headed and it was most impressive how show freed Kalnaka from the power of many witches at once. The great hyerspace incident being relevant to what we now find out is responsible for the twins being made from Force vergence is very interesting and a nice way to tie the start of the High Republic era and this tale towards the end.

[@user-zl9sh9mz6h]

Was that broken bridge/catwalk directly over the mysterious hole that the witches were worshipping at earlier? If so, falling into that hole may have actually SAVED Mae, rather than killing her. Another issue: We know how Aniseya died, but we still don't know how the other witches died. They were controlling Kelnacca, and Indara kicked them out of his head, so the witches died from psychic feedback, or what? I still want answers!

[@exoticcarfactsofficialchan7050]

I don't think that the witches died from that. They were in the process of completing/trying to complete the ascension ceremony and once Mother Anasaya got killed and Mother Quarrel vanished, the rest of the many just dispersed

[@boatymcboatface666]

​@@exoticcarfactsofficialchan7050no, they were controlling the Wookie and just died after they got the boot, really nothing more to it. You give these writers far to much credit!

[@changingspiritually9540]

The Mother (Leader) was trying to save her daughter and stop the fight simultaneously as She had already said "There will be no violence" (I might be paraphrasing). Yet the Jedi were ignorant of the different practices the Coven of witches had and biased in how one should and shouldn't use the "force" and took action based on what he thought he saw...Even Yoda said "Fear is the path to the Dark side. Fear leads to Anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering" But Ocea's master was like nope let me kill her because I have no idea what she is about to do... Great! So the Jedi are clearly shown to have made a VERY BIG MISTAKE... and LIE AND...COVER THEIR ASSES...But somehow Disney did something wrong when we are clearly shown that the Jedi are NOT PERFECT. Basically, they did EVERYTHING they were NOT SUPPOSED TO DO as they had BASIC PROCEDURE they ARE SUPPOSED TO FOLLOW. How is the coven in the Wrong? Because they had a different belief system and "their ways are strange"? Could you make it make sense? The guy was told to basically not externalise or "confuse his emotions with someone else's"...he's clearly not a padawan but shows he's not mature enough to make: calm, clear-headed or cool-minded decisions. And why does how they use the "force" make them look evil?

[@sikeyin7623]

My thoughts about the witch's force dust is just doing teleport instead of becoming one

[@m.b.boyack2228]

The only way moral ambiguity i.e., a grey area, can be introduced to the narrative, is if the Jedi are written in such a way as to contradict their own moral and professional codes of conduct, literally make the Jedi act in opposition to their own ethics. Which is exactly what happened, e.g., using lethal force on an unarmed civilian, the forced extraction of children from their families or hiding/with-holding information from superiors and the Jedi Council, etc.

[@BathBombTheRussians]

I feel bad for the Jedi if they have to consider a powerful and mind controlling witch as “unarmed” 😂 there are a lot of holes regarding their “mission” on this planet but it was at least a somewhat interesting take.

[@UscruOutlaw]

I thought the scene with Torbin and the mother could've been done a lot better, and couldve been really trippy and eerie

I liked the last 2 episodes more because we had a bit too much of an overlap to ep3 here. So the content was no that much of a surprise for me. Still the battle with Kelnacca was veeery cool and I‘m looking forward to the conclusion. Its a 6/10 after the last two episodes were a 8/10

[@TWD77710]

Complete Canon Knowledge on the Force according to my own notes after this episode: Force Nature: Cosmic Force(Time, Space) creates the universe (galaxies) and Midi-Chlorians(first-life), which spread and create rest of life, which generates Living Force(Life Energy), which replenishes Cosmic Force and allows existence of universe to continue as a cycle. Living Force can be unbalanced by Force Users dividing it between Light and Dark, disrupting the replenishing cycle that keeps the galaxy alive. All organic sentient beings can use Living Force and speak to Cosmic Force, but potential depends on Midi-Chlorian amount and control. Midi-Chlorians attach to normal living beings and their functional birthed clones, but not to dysfunctional replica clones which have no Life Energy. This makes them nearly impossible to artificially harness or replicate, as Moff Gideon and Darth Sidious learned through failed science. Sidious failed to make a replica clone with functionality(due to loss of Kaminoan cloning expertise) and Midi-Chlorian attachment, had to resort to using essence transfer to store his consciousness and constantly fading Life Energy in multiple dysfunctional replica bodies upon his death. Took years to travel as an essence to Exegol and actually do this. Later, he began manipulating an amalgam of DNAs with residual Midi-Chlorians(Snoke) to prepare Ben Solo as a living host for his essence. He was simultaneously aware that his functional birthed clone(Dathan) had created a force sensitive daughter(Rey). Sidious wanted her killed due to her threat level but when Ben Solo became attuned to the lightside, he decided to try to use Rey as a host instead. However, he would also discover that a force dyad had brewed between Ben and Rey, which he used to replenish his own dysfunctional replica clone through the darkside force ability drain. However, he was eventually permanently destroyed by Rey and many Jedi Force Spirits in this form too(no host ever allowed access to his essence and he had no dysfunctional replica clones left). Knowledgeable Force Users are also capable of manipulating Midi-Chlorians to create life in a certain manner(Sith experiments of Darth Plagueis and twin creation by Coven of the Thread Witches). But if this manipulation affects the replenishing cycle of balance in any way, the Cosmic Force retaliates against those happenings(direct activation of the Chosen One prophecy). Force History: Three Celestials(The Ones///Mortis Gods) originating from the planet Peridea become the first force users, as well as the most powerful. They become interconnected with aspects of the Living Force(Father is Balance, Son is Dark, Daughter is Light), directly affecting the force itself as Force Avatars. With help from Cosmic Force they seemingly create World Between Worlds, a conduit Force Realm that grants aspects of the Cosmic Force but only accessible through their presence, connection, or knowledge. They also teach Zeffo and Dathomiri Witches about magick force usage. Eventually they bring extreme chaos and imbalance (reason the Zeffo and Dathomiri Witches flee their galaxy through the Purrgil or go dormant if they remain, ending the Witch Kingdom but establishing the various Witch and Zeffo descendants in the main galaxy), so the Father and Cosmic Force create conduit Force Realm Mortis to serve as the cage for him and his children as he keeps them in control for ages. Eventually other force users come to exist, like the Jedi(Light) and the Sith(Dark). Cosmic Force decides it needs a contingency plan against Force Users and prophecizes the rise of a mortal to create balance, the Chosen One(Anakin Skywalker). Father discovers this, and by extension also the Jedi. Cosmic Force further continues to work towards balance by creating Force Entities such as Bendu, Morai, Loth-Wolves, and Force Priestesses to assure their knowledge positively aids Force Users (such as Jedi learning how to become a Force Spirit). Ages later the prophecy activates after direct imbalance resulting from Sith Midi-Chlorian manipulation , and the Chosen One is conceived by Cosmic Force. He eliminates the Mortis Gods with the Father's help, which eliminates their possible imbalance, and then later brings further balance by affecting the amount of power the Jedi and Sith reach(Order 66, Fall of the Empire, Total Destruction of the Sith). Force Abilities: --Miscellaneous: Physical Enhancement(Mobility, Jump), Levitation, Flight, Mind Manipulation(Control Tricks, Probing, Debilitation, Memory Wiping), Telekinesis(Pushes, Chokes), Vision(premonitions), Shapeshifting(switching body appearance), Dyad(two Force Users temporarily connecting through same Life Energy which allows sharing of consciousness and uncontrolled teleportation) --Lightside: Heal(cures body systems by sharing amounts of Life Energy), Shield(blocks physical attacks) Deflection(reflects force attacks), Echo(recalls past events), Nature Manipulation, Projection(physical extension of Life Energy), Essence Ascension(become a tangible Force Spirit after physical death by keeping all your consciousness and Life Energy) --Darkside: Lightning(electric expulsion), Stasis(freeze matter in place), Infection(shuts down body systems), Essence Transfer(moves consciousness and a diminishing Life Energy to another host after physical death, which will fade away in time unless host is living and not a dysfunctional replica clone, this means user will need to be allowed access by living host first and then eliminate their consciousness to gain THEIR Life Energy), Drain(steal Life Energy to attach Midi-Chlorians to the host while removing them from the enemy), Alchemy(Superficial Force Realm Access, Illusions, Flame Attacks) --Magick: Resurrection(animating dead beings), Controlled Teleportation(instant travel), Mutation(body enhancement), Mind Melding(while still alive, users can forcefully share a consciousness with another host, this severely exposes their Life Energy and may easily die as a result), Possession(allows consciousness to thrive without Life Energy after physical death by forcefully attaching to a host or object), Sorcery(Voodoo, Energy Manipulation)

Sol's wants of taking Osha as his Padwan in this episode somehow reminds me of Darth Maul.

So aparently apparently the jedi master broke the mind control. Then they just died. Was it a group coven ritual spell using their shadow force and died from forced break? Or did the jedi master use some sort of sith death curse.

Not in the context at that moment. The head witch didn't need to do something to provoke Sol. Mae shows up, the head witch says, hey Mae come on over here. No one dies.

Plus all the nonsense, like torbin being homesick so he decides to go abduct children.. and one of if not the main part of the main mystery of this whole show was how did the witches really die and they die cause they all got disconnected from the wookie.. wow what a good payoff for that mystery right? No chance, oh hell even the fire spreading across stone or sol not lifting the kids instead of the bridge.. the show is absolutely trash

[@enbentz]

@@jacobjackson2787 You seem pretty invested in the show, but you call it trash. Interesting way to spend your time, wasting it on self-proclaimed "trash". I think your argument that everything is contrived is silly... every fictional story that has ever been written is contrived by definition. I've never held that opinion about any story UNLESS I was looking for a reason to dislike it, and unfortunately you're just nitpicking. None of what you've pointed out is actually outrageous in any way and makes sense within the framework of each character that has been established and what occurs within the story. At the end of the day, it's a story. If you think it's trash, that's fine, you're allowed to think that; but why go on and on about it online - why even watch it? Please don't hit me with "imagine telling a Star Wars fan not to watch Star Wars", because I'm not telling you to not watch, I'm asking you WHY you're watching?

[@steveglean9289]

Thanks for an honest review

[@chrisschultze6974]

My original comments were erased. Thanks, unnecassary pop up ads. SMH. Grrrrr. I am not going to rewrite it, but I'll say, for the most part, I liked and enjoyed this episode. It was more good and entertaining than not. However, there were several parts that bothered me in this episode. A put part of the blame for this episode to the writing and story. There was disconnect of continuity and character development. Again, just for this episode. Most of the blame, though, I'll put on to Disney+ and limiting this show to 8 episodes and certain runtimes. I'm never against runtimes but I wanted a little more character drvelopment in this episode. It gives the viewer more reason to relate to what the characters are feeling. I didn't get that from this episode. I was also confused as whose point of view we are witnessing. Was it Sol? If so, there are many scenes that Sol was not involved with at all and thus could not give a truthful point of view. For example, the possession of Torbin. Though it was a great, chilling scene, there is no way that Sol would know what was going on in Torbin's mind. I don't feel that there will be no definite conclusion to this story in the finale. We will still have questions: such as, who rescued and how did Mae survuve? How does Qimir fit in all this? What happened to Koril? Are all the witches really dead? I guess, we'll just have to wait till the finale next week. Again, for the most part, I liked this episode and thought it was good. I really liked the fight scene between Kelnacca, Torbin, and Sol. I didn't like how it ended, though, with Indaria being the sole induvidual to remove the possession of 50 witches. The "power of one" is stronger than the "power of many." I, specifically, loved the call forwards to The Phatom Menance and the discussion of a discovery of a vergence and to Order 66 from Revenge of the Sith. This episodes opens the door to the question, if Sol and InDaria told the complete truth to the council, Order 66 could have been avoided and the Jedi will not fall. Hmmmm. Interesting point, I think. I also loved, loved, loved the callback to the Great Hypespace Disaster which was 100+ years before this. I am so glad they brought that into canon with a mention. I hope they make a series of all the High Republic books. As you can see, I am not completely disappointed and still feel this show is great, I just wanted more from this episode, in particular. This wasn't my favorite episode of the series. In my opinion, it was the weakest. There were some problems with it with the continuity of the story. The acting, direction, cinematography and choreography were grear! The mystery and the "misleading coverup stories" still continue. I can not wait for the finale and looking forward to a 2nd season. I'll give this episode a 7.5 out of 10. Still a good, fair review. For the entire series, so far, I give the series 8.3 out of 10. 👍

[@Xyma-YT]

14:52 - i think she tried / wanted to teleport her consciousness into Mae! Like Palpatine did: teleporting his consciousness into a force sensitive being!

Seemed more like she was giving her life to transfer her force power over to her. Otherwise why would she make it seem like she was gonna give Osha over.

So Light sabers can kill ethereal life force but not Sabine?

[@deadred80]

I believe what we saw was essence transfer just like is implied towards the end of the darth name series . Where he transfered his consciousness into xana . It is also my belief that it is implied here that mother koral was another being before hand . Possibly plageius. And that was the point of the ascension to make plageius whole again like Palpatine in the rise of Skywalker. I think this was an attempt to tie legends with the prequels and the sequels . However I was also dissapointed in the reuse of already seem footage .. I believe that this was lazy and I am still trying to figure out what the actually did with the budget this series had . It certainly wasn't spent on filming ,considering the reuse of existing footage.

[@exoticcarfactsofficialchan7050]

She was actually giving Mae the power to go save Osha...She was being a good mother and got interrupted by selfish Sol 😂

[@alxbolt6225]

Should a Jedi choose the dark side evil twin or the light side twin?Yeah sure, a Sophie's Choice level decision. Lets ignore Luke can lift an entire fighter ship out of water. This Jedi can't lift two kids off a rickety bridge. Yep, that works. Meanwhile the entire Jedi council has a brain fart and believes you can set fire to a stone fortress. In the end it was a misunderstanding triggered by the evil twin kid who says, "help", nobody asks what happene, and they start killing each other. This is what happens when there are no adults in the room.

[@MausiMisty]

“The power of 1, the power of 2, the power of many.” Mae “help me” Her mother, who was going to let Osha go, then proceeds to do something… we don’t know what that something was… but it was clearly in response to helping Mae. I don’t think she have been trying to use the girls just to merge with them when she was also ready to let Osha go.

Mother Aniseya turning into a demon/ghost seemed like she was going to hurt them...come on. Sol should not feel bad about what he did, the witches escalated the situation. This is a dumb show. I like the lightsaber battles...but the writing is sloppy, the acting is rough, and I barely know any of the characters' names because there is no reason to care about any of them. Sol was the best one until this episode. I also don't understand how they will end this. I'm trying to like it, I really am, but it's hard to be into something so...blah.

In order for this episode to work, Sol has to be completely selfish and almost dark side with his actions, and Torbin has to be a fragile, shitty Padawan. This Jedi team was awful.

[@AFoxInFlames]

@andweknow8287 well yeah, this wasn't supposed to be a Qimir focused episode, judging by how it ended and it was Sol wanting to explain what happened and he wasn't involved at this point. I think maybe, I cannot spell the other Mothers name, the Zabrak, maybe he's possessed by her. Perhaps she still possessed Kelnacca and when Qimir killed him she got out, just a theory probably wrong but I think it's going to lead to, he was trained by her or someone else and I hope it does lead to him and knights of wren, and the last episode is obviously reversed for that end of the story, which is mor3 interesting to me anyway. I love the show this episode, didn't add anything for me besides a couple scenes we hadn't seen, and I hope they end it on a stronger note. I think they should of done this episode earlier and I wouldn't of felt rhe same way I do. I just didn't care for this episode but I do have high hopes for the finale.
