Star Wars: The Acolyte

Qimir is a great Sith Lord btw.

When he said “You don’t remember me?”, do you think he was just talking about their previous encounter in EP2, or there is more to it?

Im really hoping hes the Apprentice. Having an Acolyte the way Dooku had Ventress.

Because Qimir comes across too much of a Sith bro (to me) to be the main Sith.

So Sith bro Qimir is implying he's older than he looks. And is trying to restore Rule of Two. So I guess he probably will be the Sith Master.

Story is getting so stupid though. The depths of idiocy they have to go to stop the Jedi from finding out...

He said he is a former Jedi... I don't think he's a real Sith. I mean, a Sith belonging to the Rule of Two lineage. He's a fallen Jedi who follows the Sith code

^ That makes sense.

I'm caught up to ep 6, aside from the pretty good sabre duels, this show doesn't have much to offer, writing just gets worse and more dull.

I did like the inverse ninja jedi law being on display.

Oh well rip Anakin for good lmao

Fight coreography was great though

Laughable episode.

Another episode of backstory and it's basically a repeat of the first? Plus all the "reveals" were obvious as hell. Every one of "reveals" were a big dud. Absolutely not worth the wait. Heck, if anything, the most surpising aspect is how little the Jedi are to blame. Sure, the Jedi made some mistakes but I don't blame Sol for attacking the witch leader when she turned into a smoke demon and Mae started dissolving into smoke in a very tense situation. So, yeah, got no clue why Jedi Tommen (don't know his actual name) was so guilty he killed himself.

And the character work was complete nonsense. Tommen starts going stir-crazy after a mere 7 weeks on the planet and this homesickness is his entire motivation in this episode... Then you got Sol getting completely obsessed over Osha after spying on her for a short time.

Yeah, especially Indara and Kelnecca were completely innocent, Indara more than anyone else. Sol maybe is to blame for not stopping the padawan, and the padawan is to blame for rushing to get the twins even though the council denied it. Anyway yeah i don't know why the showrunner assumed we would have blamed the Jedi. They weren't perfect but didn't act bad either. What was even Mother ANiseya trying to do by turning into smoke?

Well, here's hoping the next SW show is more like Mando and Andor quality.

seeing Osha

use force choke

on Sol and then when

Spoiler:
she bled the crystal

holy shit that was excellent to see

great choreography this series has had

God this show was truly awful.

They try so hard to make Sol out to be the bad guy and it doesn't work. Then you've got Osha going with Qimir (and seemingly having a romantic relationship with him?) despite the fact that he murdered many of her friends. Probably the worst part of this episode though was the Gopher dude just randomly betraying Sol and sabotaging the ship. WTF was that about? lol Just baffling, nonsencial choices. Almost nothing any of these characters do makes any sense.

But there was a Plagueis cameo! Yoda! Glup Shitto! I CLAPPED! I CLAPPED WHEN I SAW IT!

The funny/sad thing is plenty of "fans" think that way. A 5 second cameo and they all too happily start praising the show as the second coming.

Wow. WOW this was awful. I cannot put it into words.

PS was the implication that

Spoiler:
Darth Plagueis learned how to create life from the lesbian witches

Probably. I'd prefer Plagueis being the one to create them or at least have taught the witches. But of course that won't be the case.

I’m so sad, this show has great lightsaber duels… too bad everything else makes little sense. Why did Osha kill Sol? Ok, he killed her mother, but he just told you he did it to protect you. Not saying she should trust him like before, but why hate him so much? Also, Sol or not, nothing changes the fact that Mae literally tried to set her on fire and that huge explosion which caused the whole hideout to be destroyed was caused by her.. WHY IS MAE PARDONED BUT SOL ISN’T??? The lightsaber changing from blue to red gradually without her corrupting the crystal is also a little plot hole… I also hate that they’re trying to make us think those 4 Jedi did something wrong… Sol letting her choke him was bullshit “I deserve this” NOOO YOU DON’T. I hated Sol’s death so much

The issue is the people behind this show lack any sense of coherent morality. They think that the Jedi were entirely in the wrong, that they deserved to die, and that Qimir was more "heroic" than Sol. We are meant to be happy that Osha killed Sol and joined up with Qimir. And Mae is meant to be "innocent". Notice how she is wearing white, portrayed in a (literally) very heroic light when Osha sees her again, and how she selflessly she sacrifices herself.

Another big issue is they treat the Jedi as an analogy for real world religious oppression. But unlike the supernatural in various religions, the Force has a real tangible effect on the temporal world. The Force is not merely a belief, it is FACT; and the threat posed by dark siders are all too real.

Why did Mae "sacrifice" herself anyway? She could have just gone with them. Absolutely brain-dead writing.

Mae betrayed Qimir, I think he would have killed her

Sol was the only good thing about this show. Fights were cool too.

But yeah none of the characters or plot twists made any sense. And what was even the point of this show? Qimir and Osha are just loose ends in canon now.

Yeah that was strange. Defo her own fault if Sol misread that as her killing Mae.

I dont know why she did that. Given she still hated the Jedi.

None of the characters made any sense. Except for Sol.

Okay, why didn't he?

Because of Osha I guess. She did make the deal with him to let Mae go.
