Anakin after the death of Mace: "What have I done"

[@brettholcomb3763]

Mae says to Osha, "You can't go. We're stuck here now" right before locking her in and burning her drawing. That is something you say when you have learned something new.

[@hoos3014]

Right. "Stuck here now" means Mae knew something had already gone down.

[@pixxiespit]

Mother Coral was the last person with Mae before she got all murderous… 🤔🤔🤔

[@seangargan]

Yeah, I think Mother Koril is the helmeted Sith (although I’m not sure if that works with the horns). I think Mae looked somewhat possessed when she was lighting the book on fire, and I think mother Koril had something to do with that

[@RaikenXion]

@@seangargan I think they're all possessed and that's got alot to do with why they have been hunted. They may act benevolent to eachother and believe their ways are right, but manipulating the force to get exactly what you want out of it, trying to create "Life" and even just a specific version, so like how they have all kinds of races but they're all FEMALE lol. That sounds very cynical to me, which is how Sith work and the darkside. I think the whole witch coven is possessed by Abeloth.

[@seangargan]

@@RaikenXion Abeloth? Hmm. I suspected Baylon was heading to Abeloth in the Ahsoka series. I didn’t suspect Abeloth here, though: interesting

[@RaikenXion]

@@seangargan Dave Filoni worked quite closely with Leslie on her Acolyte show, I'm sure he's influenced some of his own ideas in there.

[@berighteous]

Mae didn't kill them, the JEDI KILLED THEM. How can you come to ANY other conclusion. That's the the meditating jedi committed suicide. The Jedi came to take out the coven and take the girls, even though the girls were too old, and the planet wasn't part of the republic.

[@brettholcomb3763]

There is definitely more going on, but you are jumping to a lot of conclusions. I agree though; Mae's book burning didn't do all that lol. I would guess we will learn what brought the Jedi there, how the twins were created (and why the witches know the Jedi wouldn't approve), how Mae survived that fall (and got off that planet and is running with a Sith), as well as, the context of the spoiler-y trailer stuff that clearly takes place during the events of this episode (that I won't mention here).

[@motube4879]

Torbin also has a scar in the last scene so something went down

[@Killm33]

Episode 5 is nuts!! Prepare yourselves!!! 😳😳

[@erikolson4148]

I think the honor of being the bad guy would most likely go to the Master, not the Jedi directly, and that he likely *_did_* manipulate certain events from the shadows, seeing as he was conveniently able to find Mae not too long after this incident/tragedy happened, when Osha wasn't even on the planet to show that her sister was still alive and take her in as her apprentice to train her to become a Sith Acolyte 🤔🤨😓.

[@G1Transformed]

5:27 Isn't witchcraft the Force in Star Wars? I thought that was why Dooku went to Mother Talzin in the first place--he wanted an apprentice and witches already being Force-sensitive require little to no training using the Force. 12:20 I don't disagree with you, but this is going both ways. Mae wants to be a witch and is being supported by both parents to pursue that. Osha wants to be a Jedi and is being supported by the Jedi to do that. Both the Jedi and the witches are apprehensive about the other path put before the children. Mae isn't against Osha becoming a Jedi and Osha is against becoming a witch. Osha isn't against her sister becoming one, she wants Mae to experience something different anyway. Mother Aniseya is understanding, and open-minded, like Osha. Mother Koril is strict. I don't want to say that she's like Mae, but she is a bit protective (overbearing?) so in that regard, she's like Mae. The Jedi and the witches are on opposite ends of the spectrum in the same way the two mothers are, Osha and Mae are the Light and Dark Side of the Force. Surely, this isn't a coincidence, given that they were conceived through the Force via witchcraft, very likely the same technique Darth Plagueis will use in 90 years when he creates his own harbinger, Anakin. Don't you think we will revisit this story before long? We aren't seeing the full story, but half of it. We are being led to believe that the Witches' only concern was the four Jedi camped outside, but something else was at play--why was necessary to do the ascension that night? Why did their mother want them to protect their secrets in her death? Did she know something was coming? Why did she want the two girls to be together? Why is the power of two, the power of many, so important to them? Did Mother Aniseya shed a tear because one of her daughters chose a different path or because she knew that their time, the witches' time, had come to an end? Did the Jedi really slice the gate, as one of the witches claimed before the Jedi arrived, or did another? I don't think Indara, the lead Jedi, would have allowed them to slice anything. I think the Sith we saw Mae with earlier is already on Brendok, and I think the Sith came to Brendok for the same reason the Jedi did. The Jedi recruited Osha, and the Sith recruited Mae before helping her end her family.

@@G1Transformed I remember now the line was 'platform''. "The jedi have sliced the platform!". like ok.... i'm in the middle of a ceremony here.

[@G1Transformed]

@@stevena.7022 I know what was said, I'm just not sure what you're trying to say. The witches didn't want the Jedi there. They already formed an opinion based on fear and persecution of their kind. They wanted to be left alone. How would they know what a Jedi looked like...or didn't? To the untrained eye, Jedi and Sith would be indistinguishable. They both use the Force, dress in robes, and wield lightsabers. It wouldn't be difficult to mistake one for the other, especially if the galaxy hasn't seen a Sith for millennia--this story takes exactly one hundred years before the Phantom Menace and Master Ki-Adi-Mundi made it clear that the Sith have been out of the picture for a very long time. Even if his statement wasn't entirely true, it was clear that most of the Jedi Council believed his statement to be true. Mother Aniseya admits that their form of the Force is viewed as something dark by others--the witches have an affinity to the Dark Side of the Force. A great amount of Force being used at once is likely why the Jedi dispatched four to that location; they sensed great power coming from Brendok. If the Jedi could sense it, surely the Sith could too, one might argue the Sith felt it more strongly given the fact that witchcraft in Star Wars is more aligned with the Dark Side of the Force. This is proven by Mother Koril's fear of the Jedi learning how the witches used the Force to birth two children. Surely, it isn't coincidental that in 90 years Lord Plageius will use the same technique to create Anakin--he learned that technique somewhere and it sure does look like this story is telling us where! Palpatine, like other Sith before, sought knowledge of the Force; they hoarded that knowledge and made it their own. The Jedi were scholars of the Force too, but they shunned parts they considered to be unnatural, like creating life and cheating death, but I digress. We need to see the other half of this story. We were given Osha's side of events. What did Mae experience when she "pulled the thread?"

[@stevena.7022]

@@G1Transformed What I'm trying to say is simple. Delay the jedi with cordiality. If that's not an option.... explain. (not you the show)

[@UltimateMorales2099]

If you go back and notice a few things: Koril's body isn't anywhere to be found in those two scenes. Also Mother Aniseya was further away from the rest of the witches and the only one Osha noticed, also none of the witches had any of the usual scorch marks from lightsabers..

[@katesullivan4707]

I don't think Mae actually did it, she might have set the book on fire but then you hear the lantern crash to the ground. It was encased enough that she could hold it. But the rest of the witches, the fire hadn't reached them yet. And why was Sol there at all? There is also a fairly sound theory that wasn't even Mae in the room (and her seeming to wake up at the tree) but maybe she was being mind controlled. I tend to believe that because in the initial scene, Osha was doubting and Mae took a moment to try and come up with a solution, she'd know that anger wouldn't get Osha to stay but tears and fear might have been.

[@Killm33]

My number one suspect is the second witch in command. She seemed pressed into the girls wanting them to be witches

[@Ne0Nights]

One thing I think is interesting is we never SEE Mae start the fire. We only HEAR it. This episode was only from Osha’s perspective hence the one word title. We are definitely going to get another flashback exploring Mae’s perspective and learn what the Jedi ACTUALLY did because the witches’ bodies weren’t burnt 😉

[@TheMovieCouple]

Looking forward to Mae's perspective for sure.

[@Veronica-mg6og]

I even think Mae was mind controlled, just like Torbin, the same happen to "evil" Mae's eyes in Osha's force vision in ep2

[@Vulcanerd]

I think there’s a few possibilities. Mae may have or may not have set the initial fire, but I wonder if the mysterious Sith master was the one that spread the fire and caused most of the destruction given the short timeframe? If the Jedi were drawn to the power or specialness of Osha and Mae, I think it’s plausible that the Sith master was drawn to them, too? And used this as the catalyst to cause chaos and dispose of the rest of the coven/village. The only thing is this doesn’t account for Torbyn’s scar appearing after the fire so maybe it was the Jedi after all.

[@jodymartin2920]

There is definitely something more going on here. This is from OSHA’s point of view. I think the Jedi did more than they said here.

[@hohomon]

Waiting for Episode 4 is so agonizing! Do you think Master Sol could be connected to the fire incident in any way?

[@Killm33]

The show is great! Keep up the great work y’all!! Mae, in my opinion, is a scapegoat. Yeah, she wants to be a witch and is bad but I don’t think she caused all that destruction by herself

[@thedarkknight2221]

I love how you can see from both points of view why the witches and the Jedi are so wary of watch other. The witches: because they just want to live their lives away from the High Republic and the Jedi. And the Jedi: because they are worried about both the threat of dark force wielders and for the safety and well being of the twins.

[@brettholcomb3763]

It is not Jedi policy to take children against families' wishes. Do all Jedi follow this policy strictly? Maybe not. Are families sometimes coerced, pressured, or guilted into giving up their children? Probably, the Jedi order is still made up of fallible "people." I also think we shouldn't make a one-to-one comparison with our world. We don't have the "force" and it's hard to imagine how that would change our perception if we did. One way to look at it would be; if your child was born with a horrible disease and their best chance for living a healthy, full, and productive life involved never seeing you again. I mean, a child having force abilities is not just a fun attribute, it is also a sort of burden/curse. Only one in (approx) ten trillion "people" are Jedi. Being a force user is potentially a lonely, dangerous, and scary life. The Jedi are the Galaxy's treatment program to help children deal with the burden and become healthy force using adults.

[@hoos3014]

When the Jedi broke into the coven and interrupted their ceremony I got Canadian Indian Residential School vibes. That kind of power can easily be abused, even by people who start off with good intentions.

[@brettholcomb3763]

@@hoos3014 With the info we have that seems like a gross overstepping of their mandate. And like I said the Jedi are still made up of "people" who are fallible. I was (specifically) responding to the implication (of the discussion in this video) that the Jedi Order takes children even if families don't want them too. Also we only have the coven's perspective. We might get the Jedi perspective that paints a different picture. For example, what if one of the witches (or other credible 3rd party) was telling the Jedi stories of abuse in order to instigate a confrontation?

[@CCWGGuy]

so I dint thibk Mae killed all if the witches, pretty sure it was the jedi, because if you look none of the dead witches were burned

[@wileecoyote57flh22]

I've been thinking...what if the ramifications of what transpires with the twins in this series is the reason for the Jedi to only take children when they're very young...? As the Council said...Anakin was too old at 10 so I possibly see these events as a possible reason for that rule...! 🤔

[@proteuswest1084]

I was genuinely impressed by this episode and it's definitely my favorite of the show so far. I am really excited to see where it goes. I completely agree that we're not getting the whole story. I don't think it's as simple as the Jedi killed the coven and blamed it all on Mae because even though most of the Jedi we've met so far have expressed some level of regret, I didn't get the impression from any of them that they are a murderous bunch. I am interested to see what responsibility they do bear, because it's pretty clear they're not blameless, but there are a lot of really interesting places this could go. I also kind of wonder about Mae snapping and wanting to kill her sister. That definitely seemed like it came a bit out of left field, and I didn't think it matched up with their later interaction in episode 2, at least from Mae's side of it. It feels to me like there's something amiss with that whole situation, and I'm wondering if we're going to find out more later.

[@maureec]

😃👌Loved your review. I really got intrigued by this episode. Seeing the perspective of another religion on the Force as a binding thread was interesting and it makes sense that different cultures will describe the same thing differently. I was uncomfortable with how the Jedi came across as super entitled though. They voiced concerns about them training their own children yet in the next breath say they have the right to test for potential padawans and even insist on testing Mae when she wasn't interested in being Jedi at all. And was I the only one who nearly spit her tea out when they said the Jedi do not take children lol?😂Loving this exploration of new territory after so long focused on a single family line it's a breath of fresh air❤

That flashback sequence is going to be rashoman style. We're gonna see it from multiple perspectives before getting the whole story.

They're obviously leaning on the Darkside of the force, so right off that's NOT good! Doesn't matter how much you want to sympathize them. I believe this witch coven are all worshiping Abeloth and they don't even realize it. These "dyad twins" they seem like a failure version of that idea, "dark Magicks" and Arcane arts. I reckon Abeloth possesses Mae, and that's who she is in that anime style mask, look at the big smile with all the teeth.

"Nobody hates Star Wars as much as Star Wars fans." I thought this episode was🔥🔥🔥

[@Jasonstrickland-rl6ij]

"Woke" has little to do with the episode. The episode is a slap in the face to Anakin. The prophecy stating the Chosen One would bring balance to the force describes a singular being, that same prophecy wasn't created by Yoda, the Jedi, at least any within the last 2000 years. The prophecy predates Osha and Mai, at the rise of Palpatine's power Anakin was found on a planet, by a woman who had a virgin birth, all according to the prophecy. ""Only through sacrifice of many Jedi will the Order cleanse the sin done to the nameless. The danger of the past is not past, but sleeps in an egg. When the egg cracks, it will threaten the galaxy entire. When the Force itself sickens, past and future must split and combine. A Chosen One shall come, born of no father, and through him will ultimate balance in the Force be restored."" At no point was there any mention of two individuals, it spoke of one who would bring balance to the force. Look, canon can change, but it can also be completely dropped and forgotten, Ghostbusters 2016 is a great example, as are the recent Halloween moves.....maybe even a better one. BUT the likelihood this is canon for a extended period of time is very unlikely. I will level with you, if they can pull a Deadpool and Wolverine ie preserve Logan, and preserve Anakin's birth, keep it as sacred and important as it should be, then I don't really care that the Force created them. Now this is my unpopular opinion, but I honestly think someone coughcoughFilonicough, should bring Plagueis and Palpatine's Grand Experiment full into canon and use it to explain Anakin's creation. Edit: I actually liked the first two episodes a lot, they had a murder mystery feel to them.

@@Jasonstrickland-rl6ij You could roll with the whole 'it's a hundred years earlier and we're dealing with witches, who they've set up as a different faction altogether, and with their particular use of the force created the twins for their own purposes, and none of it has any connection to the prophecy that foretells Anakin'.

I don't think Disney understands that for a lot of hardcore fans, SW is a semi-religion. They follow the rules created by Lucas and subscribe to the Skywalker myth. The necessity to capitalize on the growing female purchasing power, (we have now more women well-educated and biggest earners), and the ever-present anti-men, and anti-white message is meant to drive away old-school fans and keep grooming the younger ones who grew up with female leads, (Ahsoka and Rey), and the female supporting characters, (Ventress, Sabine, Bo-Katan, the witches). What we see now across the internet is the result of that strategy and the end of SW as we knew it. This is not exclusive to SW, other IPs have been doing this for a while, (Marvel, HBO, Prime Video, etc). This is the normalization of the weak / evil men, and the rise of the non-binary female hero as dictated by Hollywood. In other words, welcome to the new western modern world.

​@@Ne0Nights...if I may.. it breaks canon, because it's clear that Anakin is the chosen "ONE". Not two or several. Was the only being ever created by the force. Have other people created by the force just destroys the UNIQUENESS, of the "ONE".

sorry but not sorry. Definitely am NOT a fan of this series. Aside from being boring, lackluster, and changing things about the force that makes it the force, there are also just too many agenda-based nuances sprinkled all over the place. I am practically choking on it. Issues don't have to be this woke just to portray a great story/writing/dialogue.

How is this changing the force if it's the witches and magic they've been canon to Star Wars ever since The Clone Wars with the nightsisters and if it's because of the mother creating the sisters did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis The Wise

I mean, “The Courtship Of Princess Leia” is one of the most beloved Star Wars books ever released and it introduced the witches way back in 1994. Just saying, this isn’t new.

Sorry, nothing in this show so far has negatively affected canon at all.
