THE ACOLYTE: Episode 7 - The Idiotic Jedi Cover-Up REVEALED!

THE ACOLYTE: EPISODE 7 shows the events of Episode 3, from the Jedi perspective....and the revelation is a solid contender for "most unfulfilling part of this mess". Here are my thoughts...

Why does Tommen Lannister kill himself? I don't see any reason he should feel guilty about literally anything. Etc. etc. etc. This plot is being held together by duct tape.

I wouldn't even mind it, if they did it well, but it's written with the same care as a clickbait article from the 2010's: "Here are 26 reasons why the jedi are more evil than you thought." The characters aren't "morally grey" they're just dumb. Nothing morally ambiguous really happens on screen. The Jedi are just incompetent, the witches are acting needless ingressive, and Qimir is murdering Jedi for no reason. Beyond the sisters and qimir basically looking at the camera and saying "I think the Jedi are the real villains" there isn't any ambiguity. Worst of all, it's just saying the same thing as the prequels: The Jedi's ridged dogma and moralism is turning people to the darkside, rather than saving them from it. It's copying the second most prolific story within Star Wars, and acting like it came up with these ideas on it's own, and worst of all, it's doing it a lot worse, and still patting itself on the back.

The show's got problems, for sure (and one hell of a weird choice for a closing credits song). But some of the things that can be answered (not necessarily defended): • "M Count" was first used (to my knowledge) in Bad Batch, though there was no explanation for why there, either. I get the sense that they are trying to have their cake and eat it, too, by adopting, basically, Midchlorians for all intents and purposes but without using the word "Midichlorians" to leave room for fans to imagine that it could potentially be something other than that word they hate. • We don't know yet whether or not the twins are the vergence. Or if there is even truly one. • We've known for a long time now that the jedi order (not necessarily the jedi faith) had hubris, complacence, and self-righteousness festering within it. Wasn't that the whole point of the prequels? Wasn't it all those things that led to the deaths of Clone Troopers Tup and Fives (indirectly sending Anakin deeper into his spiral) and unjust manhunt against Ahsoka?

Jeremy Jahns doing his own version of Pitch Meeting seems to look so easy. Barely an inconvenience. 😉

[@JS-pn5cn]

I can’t WAIT for the Pitch Meeting on this show. What he did to Rings of Power was great, this will be…splendiforous.

[@GodlessG0D]

I think the reason Trinity didn't tell the council was because the Jedi wouldn't have accepted Osha after all that and she would've lost her family for nothing along with her chance to become a Jedi. I mean, I'm not defending this show's many poor choices in writing, acting, dialog, etc. But I understand Jedi Trinity's thinking (that's what I'm calling her). I think she also took pity on Jedi Sol and his moment to finally get a padawan. I'm not saying she made the right or wrong choice but I understand her motivation.

This feels like the Prometheus of Star Wars shows. Provides more questions than answers and characters doing random crap for no reason

[@anubusx]

I agree. Prometheus and Covenat ruined the Xenomorph.

[@tyhar7493]

The lack of moral consistency for the characters and the Jedi overall is more telling about the world Lesley and the writers inhabit than anything attributed to Star Wars lore.

[@cylonscotty7418]

Underrated comment here. This. It’s this.

[@3NewDay]

Absolutely. They embrace the "dark side" (fear, anger, hate) and they want us to validate it because they feel "misunderstood".

[@NCMonefaith]

That means there's potential scandals in the future then with these guys

[@JacobPaul-ix7oc]

I'm going to leave a fairly comment here, and with that being the case, I will need to ask you to look up a couple of things in your free time to fully understand what I am trying to get across. Yuri Bezmenov, "Four Steps for Communist Ideological Subversion" Reverse Psychology Hegelian Dialectic (Problem, Reaction, Solution". I'll get you started with step one of the "Four Steps.." Demoralization - this is a process which can take about 15-30 years to perform (a generation). *During this stage, the moral fibre and integrity of the country is put into question, thereby creating doubt in the minds of the people. To do so, manipulation of the media and academia is required to influence young people. As the younger generation embraces new values, such as Marxism and Leninism,* the older generation slowly loses control simply through attrition. Again, true facts no longer matter during this stage, but rather creating perceptions are of paramount importance. Communism and Religion Abolished - all religious and metaphysics is rejected. *Engels and Lenin agreed that religion was a drug or “spiritual booze” and must be combated. To them, atheism put into practice meant a “forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions.”* --Where does the US/West get moral values and ethics from? Is it not from Judeo-Christian teachings? These Liberal, Marxist activists like Leslye Headland want you to question if good is good, or evil is evil. They want you to begin to think that morality is not given by a God Who is the absolute authority and Judge of moral behavior, but it is instead "subjective" to the individual and is shaped by a relationship of oppressor and the oppressed. Eliminating American exceptionalism, fundamental change of national identity, *structural deconstruction of foundational principles, elimination of religion. Embedding a new societal design upon the psyche of generations through ideological academia, peer pressure by elites upon academics and society to convince that prior values were inherently flawed, racist, prejudiced etc.* National identity is diluted with aspersions toward historical references. *National History is re-written, re-defined, and molded to fit the new intended behavioral model and create the new values.* ---Star Wars has been around for nearly 50 years. It is a part of our national, social, cultural and individual history, so they must mold it to fit their ideological narrative. *“[T]he useful idiots, the leftists who are idealistically believing in the beauty of the Soviet socialist or Communist or whatever system,* when they get disillusioned, they become the worst enemies. That’s why my KGB instructors specifically made the point: never bother with leftists. Forget about these political prostitutes. *Aim higher.* [...] They serve a purpose only at the stage of destabilization of a nation. *For example, your leftists in the United States: all these professors and all these beautiful civil rights defenders. They are instrumental in the process of the subversion only to destabilize a nation. When their job is completed, they are not needed any more...They will be lined up against the wall and shot.”*

"This planet is uninhabited" - The Padawan says as he's literally sitting in front of a carved stone structure

But I feel really guilty and it will probably lead to poor training and her failing out of the order anyway. Kalnacca was like, Im so ashamed, im going to live on a planet all by myself. Also Ill become a vegetarian. Jedi Tommen was like: Dang I DID leave my porn stash out where the cleaning lady can see it. Glad I rushed back to Coruscant before she saw it. ALSO Im going to become a full fledged Jedi, then a MASTER, then I'm going to go into a trance and float above the ground like Doctor Strange, I mean Luke. Like Luke.
