This is REALLY not looking good

Master Sol was left an emotional wreck at the end of episode 5 of the Acolyte, this has caused him to make some mistakes in the aftermath of skirmish on Khofar. I think this leaves him in a very vulnerable position, something that Jedi Master Vernestra Rwoh could easily take advantage of.

My theory is it depends on the "strength" of the echo. Like the stuff Cal Kestis and Quinlan Voss pick up/touch is too faint for most Jedi, but in a situation like the bombing or the attack on Khofar, there's such an instant, and violent shift in the force (loss of life), that the echoes are "louder" allowing other Jedi to hear them.

It’s so weird how Jedi teach each other to be the moral police and in tune with the force but the minute something goes wrong, they’re the first to point fingers and throw each other under the bus. I think Vanestra is framing Sol, just to take the heat off of herself. You could see it in her eyes when she realized it was Quimir. The more I get to know about Jedi practices, the least I like them. As much as I wanted him to stay with Luke, I can definitely understand why it wasn’t very hard for Baby Yoda to choose the path of becoming mandalorian.

"The road to Hell is paved with good intentions." That should be the Jedi's motto for this era. They're trying so hard to not appeared flawed, that their flaws are being exposed. I'm wondering who originally sent the Jedi to Brendock. Was it Vanestra? She seems to be in charge of the investigation division of the jedi, if that's even a thing. The clues being dropped in each episode just bring up more questions. It is unfortunate that this show isn't doing that well. As much as I enjoy Legacy characters, I'd rather see some new characters and some new stories set in this Universe.

She seems to be acting with more authority than she should be. Senators are reporting to her instead of council members, she's sending Jedi on missions on her own and getting them killed, and she seems to report to no one.

I just thought of something. What if the real cover up is silencing the Jedi that knew about the Brendok incident? What if all of this is to cover up what happened because the Brendok incident would reveal parts of the Sith's plan and Mae is just a scapegoat.

You are right about the hindsight. I've been watching week to week: First I suspected Yord, he was so straight laced and quick to palm his saber when ANYTHING seemed amiss (A Jedi doesn't pull her weapon unless prepared to kill), so I thought maybe he was mad at the looseness of the jedi and thought secretly they were a lie. Then I thought it was Mother Coral. Then I thought it was Mother Coral force wielding Qimir. I was almost disappointed when Qimir was revealed, until he started speaking with Sol and Mani is so good at the roll. I love that almost every guess I've had is wrong. My only issue with the last episode was they didn't address whether they found Newbacca's (Kelnacca's) body in the ship-hut or not. Wierd since he's the only Jedi that was actually known to be there. Or did I miss it? Great vid.

Yes, you're putting my unorganized thoughts into words again :D What I also really like and missed is the one week waiting to see what's coming next. The theories building in my head and just waiting for wednesday. After episode 5 I feel like no character could be safe! It's the 2012 Game of Thrones feeling. And it's all about the cracks, the faults at the hightime of the Jedi. Similar to Andor showing us the cracks and faults of the empire, birthing the rebellion. The series won't beat Andor :D That's for sure. Andor is a masterpiece, but right now, it's a solid. It could blow me away with the next episodes and this is so engaging. I also feel like the ones rating The Acolyte badly haven't watched a single minute. You said it in one of your other videos. Most who rated Andor, haven't even watched the show!

I am pretty sure they will waste this potential, but let's hope they won't. Instead of the Acolyte, I would like to see something in more distant past or future, this is too close to prequels and they are limited by that. That massive hate of Acolyte before it was actually released is stupid and I don't watch channels like Nerdotic anymore, I thought they are serious StarWars channels before, but now I know they are not, you are vice versa one of only few big StarWars channels who is serious and don't automatically hate everything just becuase it's created by "some LGBT woman" or something.

This is so nice. You’ve cultivated a good audience

[@philjohnson1744]

Roe is pretty intimidating. Well done character so far.

[@jordanklap9685]

Love these videos and the level headed takes. It’s sad seeing the fan base divided like this… I hope someday they can come together again

[@BowserFX89]

As I’ve watched the series week by week, it becomes more clear to me I should have waited til the season finale night and just binge watched to see the whole thing like one long movie.

[@babytoshiro7014]

You can still do it.

[@brettshaff8772]

"Casualties were heavy." Then 'The entire team'. Shades of Rebels Ghosts of Geonosis with the flying troopers.

[@maxwell_j_R]

Not sure yet it is better than 'Ahsoka'. Those middle episodes are soooo good, and they can be enjoyed as standalone episodes imo. (Sure, the end has Thrawn stumbling into a "win", but we haven't seen the ending of 'The Acolyte' yet to say if it sticks the landing.)

[@Jeppe_P]

I dont think Vernestra is a sith but its very possible she was Qimir's master after we saw the whip marking on Qimir's back. Very possible for her to have trained him during the era she had left the Jedi. I think that would be a good solution, have Qimir either lie about being a sith, or just frame it that way because of how the jedi view dark side users. Its just his mention of the power of 2 being so similar to the rule of 2 that makes me think he might have become darth tenebrous acolyte of sith apprentice at some point, and have been discarded.

[@jameshewitt2146]

I have to admit brother I really do appreciate and value your opinion and how you see the show more than most people covering it, I really love how you can also see how this "culture war" has effected the show to a drastic and completely unfair level. I also like the show and find so many parts interesting, yeah it has slow buts and maybe a bad episode or 2 but what series of television doesn't? All the best to you my man, thank you so much, I'm always looking forward to hearing what you have to say and it's just nice to know their is still someone out their that doesn't let clips and "anti wokeness" cloud your judgement :) All the best to you bro and to anyone else reading this, your all amazing and I hope you have an amazing time :) Keep up the amazing work my man 😊 ❤

[@torlumnitor8230]

when you only get 8 episodes you cant afford to have a bad one.

[@meisteckhart]

So far this is my second favorite live action show. Andor is far and away the best.

[@bordergoly]

The best about this channel it’s how with calm exposes the sithy views on other YT channels

[@brittonnevans2208]

This show is only building on the disillusionment of Luke in TLJ. You look back and the Jedi aren’t the gleaming beacons of hope they were built up to be.

[@OswaldPHaygood]

If you are old like me, for years, the only Jedi we knew existed were Obi Wan and Yoda. That is who we believed they all were- wise, patient, grandfatherly monks with laser swords and magic powers. The prequels created a whole new reality that us OTers could never have even imagined. Wait, Sam Jackson- Jules Winnfield- is a muthahf*ckin Jedi? 🤯

[@martinmp19]

I think you need to look to the prequels for whack ass Jedi.

[@clark85]

but thats BS because the Jedi were quite succesful for 1000 years so this whole premise makes zero sense

[@OswaldPHaygood]

@@clark85 except for the whole allowing a sith lord to infiltrate and destroy the order over a period of decades, you mean 🙄

[@PityOnlyFools]

Nothing more Star Wars than extra content being written to explain the movies and fill in the gaps.

[@Imhotep397]

I think Qimir is Darth Venomous manipulated by Tenebrous from a Bith to a human looking being.

[@statickaeder29]

I really like the show, and hope that Sol isn't blamed and buried. No, it's not as good as Andor, and it's a good Star Wars show. I'm really glad to get to know Yord and Jeki. to see such variety among the Jedi, and I am looking forward to seeing how they finish it. I have high hopes.

[@eileenhadley2731]

I like your take on this. I'm liking this show more than, Kenobi, and Ahsoka.

[@jeffreycarman2185]

I’m really liking The Acolyte. I think the set up has been great, I really hope they can stick the landing.

[@maradjade1848]

Thank you for validating my love of this show. Its really good and different Disney needs more shows like The Acolyte. (I also love mysteries in general.)

[@dionysisnance4204]

Master sol has better change at surviving Squid game then Disney star wars

[@aidanrandall7438]

yeah

[@deedee2455]

😂😂😂

[@TheSlayeroftruth]

Chance* and than not then. Also, did you not watch the full video? Stop fueling the culture war mate.

[@stubrice9726]

lol!

[@lostchilde8922]

Bow

[@niallsneddon5202]

I agree with you Alan and great video and content as always

[@debbralehrman5957]

Thanks Alan 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@foxinaboxy12]

It's still so weird to me that this show gets more hate than Book of Boba Fett, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Ahsoka when The Acolyte is better or at least definetly not worse than most of those other shows.

[@Mr-Rinn]

In Episode 4 Vernestra does tell Sol in that briefing about Mae is that she’s concerned that something is happening that could tip the scales.

[@ericklozada2440]

I believe qimir is the former padawan of master roh.

[@arctrooper47]

I'm intrigued about what kind a reception Skeleton Crew will get.

[@ElijahNMitchell]

Plot twist, Sol becomes Qimir’s acolyte

[@truth_e-lectric50]

Sol seems strongly capable of turning to the Dark Side

[@PrintNPixel]

I can see it happen when he is framed and the girls dying in a fight over what the jedi did or didnt do. That would push him over the edge

[@kittydreamz86]

This is one of my favorite series theyve done so far and I think your take on it is spot on. It seems like theyre building up steam and popularity with completely new fans to Star Wars so im hopeful for more seasons.

[@Sardikar]

You skim through the crazy comments so we don't have to. Thank you for your service.

[@Crocthunder]

I just really despise how so much of the constructive feedback is burried by legit assholes on youtube/twitter. Cause like how is lucasfilms suppose to even see anyone trying to help them improve . But its all just TWISTING/YELLING anger HATRED , why is people who hold starwars up to religious levels seem to break the foundational rule starwars taught ? Hyperbole has truly killed off discussion

[@jasonmcintosh3661]

The dark side is strong on the interwebs.

[@torlumnitor8230]

the actors don't help either when they make music videos about being 'oppressed'. Like lady you play make believe for a living.
