The Jedi are using metal detectors to find out where the $180 million for this show went.

[@jsbcody]

I think someone made some bad investments in cryptocurrency……or have massive embezzlement scam going.

[@aapzot]

I am sure they found it with the director and her lover.LOL

[@johnmcquaid6966]

The metal detector scene was reminiscent of a Mel Brooks movie called Space Balls which was far better than the Acolyte . I reference the scene where lord Helmet had his men “combing the planet” lol 😂

[@CarlWheatley-wi2cl]

lmao that's right. So many contrivances on display that one slipped me by. They would have detected it from orbit before they even landed. Then the Jedi recon team was pissing about with moss for nearly two months while they were right next to it haha, Sol spotted the girls and only had a short walk up the the fortress.

[@RU-qv3jl]

It was a long way away and there were trees, as well as interesting samples of grass and moss to look at… they were distracted, it happens. Also Jedi aren‘t trained to go vagina fortress hunting, it might have freaked them out or something. There‘s myriad explanations for these simple things you bring up.

[@JustinTrudeau1971]

It’s not bad writing. I mean, it is. But it’s really done to provoke Sol into killing her so the plot can advance, which makes it terrible writing. It doesn’t stem from character but plot.

@@JustinTrudeau1971 no it is bad writing It's forcing a situation through shit writing because they couldn't think of a smart way to get their story across. The whole plot of this show has so many problems it's just simply bad writing. It does also stem from character because the characters are written poorly as is the story. As is the production.

I thought this was, overall, a really good episode. It gave a lot more depth to Sol and his present-day actions. Mae being alive gives some redemption to a major mistake in his life. I think you're misinterpreting how the vergence plays into the twins' creation. They aren't the vergence themselves (like Anakin), but a vergence of the Force on the planet (a location, as noted in the episode) was drawn upon to create them, like a reservoir of power. Also, Indara saying the coven wasn't Nightsisters was based on her assumptions about the twins and an incomplete understanding of the situation; it's still very possible they were Nightsisters, or some splinter branch of them. I don't know if that will be addressed in the finale or not, but we don't currently have a definitive answer.

My Childhood Shattered by Disney's Destruction of Star Wars My childhood in the 1990s was indelibly marked by the epic saga of Star Wars: Episodes IV, V, and VI. A cinematic masterpiece that exploded my mind and transported me to an unforgettable galactic adventure where good triumphed over evil. But that admiration has now turned to disdain. Disney, after acquiring the franchise, destroyed all the nostalgia I held so dear. Episode 7, despite its flaws, still managed to hold things together. But Episodes 8 and 9 demolished the legacy of Star Wars, leaving it on the brink of death. A brief glimmer of hope emerged with "The Mandalorian." We believed that Disney had finally understood what the fans wanted. But the illusion soon shattered, giving way to a torrent of mediocre content. The infamous "Acolyte" was the final nail in the coffin of Star Wars. Disney seems more interested in pushing political and ideological agendas than in simply telling good stories. They sacrifice quality for profit, hiring incompetent friends and cronies of the King (and Queen) instead of talented professionals. 180 million dollars were wasted on the "Acolyte" series, while a movie like Dune was made for the same amount. They could have made 10 Godzilla Minus One movies with that money! This is pure and simple money laundering. They fund this ideological and political war of the King's (and Queen's) friends and cronies, ignoring the pleas of the loyal fanbase that just wants a good story, just wants to escape from the real world for a few minutes. The 86% disapproval rating on Rotten Tomatoes is a reflection of what Disney has done to Star Wars: a complete abomination. And anyone who disagrees is labeled a misogynist, homophobic, or whatever. They destroyed the few good memories of my childhood and the nostalgia I felt for Star Wars. Enough is enough! My time consuming Disney, Marvel, and Star Wars is over. No more giving my hard-earned money to this soulless corporation. If I could, I would demand a refund for all the games I've bought. We need to send a message to these white-collar vultures: boycott, cancel Disney Plus! Stop consuming Disney content. If you want to watch their movies, download them from torrents. Games? Pirate Bay. Shirts and statues? Artisans and sculptors with no ties to these scumbags! Enough feeding this institution that only destroys and corrupts. Let's value true audiovisual art, made with love and respect. Or let's move on and focus on other hobbies, leaving this in the past. FAREWELL!

Which makes sense, as that was a mining facility and why would they not design a mining facility to be so easy to explode if a door lock caught fire. As South Park sung "dum dum dum dum dumb"

[@jaredbezes7806]

More so I need an explanation as to why Mae didn’t kill Sol when she had the chance to, because she literally witnessed sol kill her mother in front of her. I mean what was she even trying to find out? She knows who killed her mother. That, in itself should’ve drove her to the dark side. But no, she has bipolar issues and apparently Alzheimer’s disease

[@LordFleaBottom]

Dumbest scene ever: Once Indara dispelled Kelnacca, all the witches die. Who writes this shit? A.I. can write better. Sol didn’t even intentionally kill Aniseya. She was doing some Raiders of the Lost Ark shit with demons coming out of her and he only whipped it out to protect himself and it looked like Mae (who Sol mistook for Osha) was ready to disappear into ash like Spider-Man in Infinity War. Then you can see Sol’s stunned face when Aniseya went back to human form and she’s dead. Then Sol doesn’t even attack Koril. It was an accidental kill and Indara had to lie about it to protect Sol. None of this was cold-blooded murder. Why did Torbin feel so guilty about it? The one who should feel the most guilty is Sol. And that’s the only one Mae should’ve targeted to avenge her mother’s death. I think the writers didn’t want to include another fight scene with Torbin fighting Mae. Their $180M budget wasn’t enough for it. So when he drinks the poison, it adds more mystery to what happened in Brendok only to discover he did nothing wrong. And if Torbin speaks more, he can spoil the story. Ep. 4 has a deleted scene of Kelnacca fighting. Why not include it? The episodes are already shorter than they should be. Let’s go back to Ahsoka from last year. So a Jedi Master in Indara can get killed by a small fruit knife but Sabine is totally fine after a lightsaber cuts through her abdomen? Sol is too weak to Force hold the twins that he had to choose only one but Sabine can Force push a grown ass man up to a ship when she couldn’t even push a cup a couple of episodes earlier? A spiritual entity can be killed by a lightsaber but Sabine can’t while in human flesh? Even if you combined Ep. 4 & 5 together, it still didn’t offer any new info or be as long as some of the House of the Dragon episodes. F**k this show! This was the big reveal after three episodes of mostly nothing? The only good part from this show is Manny Jacinto and the cool kills The Stranger committed. Smilo Ren can Force push 8 Jedis and Force pull a redshirt Jedi into his Sith kebab but Sol can’t do this with one of the little girls. I will stick to House of the Dragon and wait patiently for Andor S2 next year. I would rather watch Daemon Targaryen become Bob Vila / Tim “The Toolman” Taylor and help renovate Harrenhal in his The Money Pit (1986) subplot than watch more of this Lesbian Headland shit.

[@geniuse8332]

8:07 The only thing I can think of is the facility may have been built on top of an underground methane deposit, that was actually leaking up into the facility. Which would mean that all of the witches were actually high af the whole time and every demonstration of power was actually a form of delusion and hallucinations. The leader forgot that she actually slept with Sol years ago and ran off with the kids after he refused to leave the order. Sol had been secretly looking for his daughters this whole time because he sense the pregnancy the last time he saw the mother. Then, after seeing their behavior in the forest, decided that Osha was the better candidate to be inducted into the Jedi Order. The real cover up is really just the secret of Sol not being a virgin.
