“Are you all with the cult?” “We’re not a cult. We’re a coven of sapphic witches who create childre-“ “Yep this is the cult.”

If the force impregnated the witch, doesn't that make the force male? How the tables have turned

Girl raised by lesbian mothers immediately emotionally bonds to the first father figure to appear, the most realistic part of this show.

‘Those stupid jedi think the force is a power they wield’ 10 seconds later ‘Together we can wield the power of the force!’

"You can't stop me" "Yes I can" "How?" "I'll kill you." Brilliant.

"Your enemy will not warn you when they attack" later, "attack me with all your strength!"

Writing this bad should be considered an *OSHA* violation... 🥁

"There is no good or bad, only power" Villain line if Ive ever heard one

The moral code is completely broken. Sure, the jedi aren't saints in this episode, but this bunch of cultists -Immediately responded in hostility against the Jedi -Threatened to kill them -TORTURED one of them, even choosing the youngest one too -Pretty much manipulate their children We are supposed to feel bad for them. One of the actors had said in their interview ''Well Anakin [Fcking hell] killed the whole Death Star''. They might intentionally believe that the lesbian cultists and Mae aren't doing anything wrong. These people are psychopaths

That’s some major cult shit when the girl said she didn’t want to be a witch. “You only want to leave because you’re young. Don’t you know you wouldn’t be accepted by anyone but us?”

We’ve gone from: “They fly now” “They fly now” “They fly now” to “What have you done” “What have you done” “What have you done” See, it’s like poetry…

"It's not a power that you wield." A few scenes later: "This is about power, and who is allowed to use it." Did the Ahsoka writers work on this?

The quote “Evil cannot create anything new, they can only corrupt and ruin what good forces have invented or made.” Is the best quote to describe modern western entertainment. Nothing even comes close to that saying to describe these people. Such a brilliant quote.

"There is no good or bad. There is only power.." -The Voldemort trying to get Harry to join him.

"I don't want you to go become a Jedi because we'll be seperated for a long time, so instead I'm going to kill you which definitely won't ensure that I never see you again and in a manner that is sure to kill everybody else I love as well." This is an insult to the intelligence of children her age. Absolutely flawless antagonist.

Even if they later reveal that the Jedi actually killed all of the witches and destroyed their base. It still won’t redeem Mae for trying to burn her sister alive.

Star Wars went from "I am your father" to "They have no father." 😂🥶

The parents literally let the dark side twin do twisted stuff and attack her sister, then they acted shocked when they find out she hates her life and wants to leave. They are doing a hilariously bad job at bluring the line between good and bad.

"I won't let you leave!" "What are you going to do?" "I'll kill you!" "Um...won't that achieve the same result as me leaving? I won't be around either way." "First you want to leave, and then you use _logic!_ YOU MUST DIE!"

"Whatever is in your heart, say the opposite" Are we supposed to believe this coven of witches truly care for these kids?

Shoutout Fringy, MauLer, and Das for pumping out the Acolyte edits so quickly!

The jedi master took the poison because he knew what was coming, it makes sense now.

Im calling it now, near the end good sis is gunna have a chat with bad sis and they'll work together, but something will go down and they'll be like, "Oh no, we gotta use the force, but we don't have enough force, we gotta use both our forces for super force," and then they'll do the secret handshake thing and say the line, and it'll be a giant payoff and everyone will cry on Twitter and say, "Oh my God this is so sweet, Star was is so back"

"That gooberfruit was _destined_ to float into my hand." That's where we're at. That's what the writing leads to.

In Phantom Menace Qui Gon literally finds the most powerful force user in the galaxy who was born of the force itself and he does not even consider just killing the boy's SLAVER and just taking him. The republic i believe was anti slavery, but the laws of this planet allow slavery, so Qui Gon could not legally take Anakin regardless of what he or his slave mother said. Qui Gon had to use legal means to release Anakin from slavery, and on top of that Shmi insisted Anakin go with them as she knew this was no place for a child to be raised. The Jedi do not just snatch children, they do not break the law, at least not unless it's VERY necessary. Even in this very show, Osha goes off to train to be a Jedi, she learns she's not really fit to be one, and she LEAVES. She gets a job and just lives on her own. So if these space lesbians had just let Osha go try out being a Jedi, she'd have flunked out and probably just come back home a few years later. They just ASSUME the Jedi are evil and will never allow Osha to leave their prison. Like there's NO reason if she did end up becoming a Jedi she could never see them again either, the Jedi thing about attachments is you need to be able to separate yourself from them, because of.... Well, look at what happened when Shmi died, and Anakin couldn't accept her death and move on. That's what it means, no Jedi in any of these movies has ever said Jedi can never ever see their families ever forever. The Jedi's shortcomings were not because they were evil, they were in the details of how they're a bit too stuck in their ways and overly by the book. They were basically like the annoying lawful good paladin that suffers not even a white lie. Ok not quite that bad, but in that vein. Disney is just trying to recontextualize them as just another form of evil.

Evil sister’s flash back is gonna be that a space bee spooked the jedi into starting a second fire

"The Jedi are bad!" "The Jedi are good!" is actual dialogue in the episode, how do you even make fun of that

Spice-cream huh? So the kids want spice which as established in Book of Boba Fett is drugs. Excellent writing decision!

This is so much better than watching the Acolyte alone. That would send me to a dark place.

Wait, if there's no genetic material from the black woman, how did the alien carry two black human girl twins??

The "whadya bring me" at the end of every EFAP TV is the only thing that brings joy in my life.

When I heard give the children spice I’m like tf that is a hard core drug that is banned across the galaxy cause it’s so dangerous

Torbin felt so guilty for [watches episode 3] going along with other Jedi in a mission to recruit a youngling into the Jedi Order and got briefly frozen by a witch's power during that trip.

The amount of time that passes for Torbin to go from Padawan to Master doesn't add up to me.

They literally took everything that made Anakin Skywalker. His sacrifice didn’t mean a thing Palpatine survived. His bloodline is gone. Now he ain’t even the 1st one to be born from the force itself smh.

I thought I was apathetic, I was not near apathetic enough

the modern force is when you say vague philosophical sentences and close your eyes.

14:06 “Everything I need is here.” *Have you ever met a child who just… wasn’t curious at all?*

I used to think Star Wars was a tragedy I now realize… it’s a comedy

Actual line: "The Jedi are bad." Actual response: "The Jedi are good." F*ckin Shakespeare

"It's not a force to be used, its a thead you pull. You know, pulling, which is applying force."

Somehow this show turned into a commentary on homeschooling versus public education in the strangest way possible.

"Right now you want to be a Jedi, but as you grow, what you want, it changes, it shifts." This is the PERFECT anti-grooming argument, yet is in a Disney production. Headland should be very worried...

The Jedi and their relationship with kids has gone from “well, maybe the kid has talent but he has to prove he really wants it” to being the circle of mages from Dragon Age.

Cult leader lady said "Weapons down. No violence." just before the Jedi arrived and she psychically paralysed one of them without provocation or warning. Every spare moment reeks of first-draft syndrome. Also I'm glad that our stalwart team of reactors picked up on the missing half of the flashback story. A lot of commentators out there right now are making definitive statements about this when we don't have all the references yet. Guaranteed it'll be cancer but there's no reason to be inaccurate just to keep up with the zeitgeist. Patience. It'll get worse.

The final episode you realize there are no twins. It’s just a snow globe of an autistic child.

Did the prophecy made looooooooong ago by the Longman finally become reality? Is the Force, in fact, the Big Ghey? Praise the spiders!

The Shlurpolite, Episode 3 In a flashback episode, we get the origins of Good Shlurpo and Bad Shlurpo on the planet Shlurpo. Their mother was actually Black Anne Boleyn, who one day fell in love with Yaddle. "Scissor me timbers, you must" said Yaddle... And so, enough friction was generated that the Force was created that same day and, miraculously, Good and Bad Shlurpo came into existence. Many years passed, and the Shlurpo's wanted to initiate the twins into their totally not a cult. They were about to do this when Ho Lee Fuk, Darth Porkins, Dr Phil and whoever else is a Jedi Master, I don't know, brought in child protective services. Good Shlurpo wanted to become a Jedi, Bad Shlurpo did not. A massive fire broke out, apparently killing Bad Shlurpo and all the other members of the Church of Latter Day Shlurpo's, but Good Shlurpo survived, and there we are back in the present. Oh and there was an interpretive dance number in there at some point.

God this is going to be the same thing as Batwoman where the heroine keeps giving her psycho sister the benefit of the doubt despite her sister having no redeemable qualities

“Guys I think we need to fuck up the force some more”

I don't know why, but the name of the planet feels like the creators just took a name of their friend, Brenda, and changed the ending of it to sound more space like, turning it into Brendok. Brilliant writing. Well done.

YES! Ryan and Theo are still here 😊 They better be here the whole ride

This show is supposed to be "Kill Bill" meets "Frozen" according to Leslye Headland. I would love to hear what Quentin Tarantino thinks of this show.

All of the dialogue this episode felt like everyone was failing speech checks but there was no consequence for failing the checks.

Boba Fett, the crime lord, is like “We need to crack down on the spice trade.” Lesbian cultists are like “C’mn, give the children some Spice candy!” Are we supposed to be making values judgments on their use of drugs?

🎶🎶The power of one, the power of two, the power of looooooonggghh 🎶🎶

Witch fire melts steel beams.

The “No attachment” thing was always dumb and I assumed it was Lucas criticizing the Jedi for causing Anakin to go to the dark side. Luke clearly had an attachment to his father and his friends. Luke’s “faith in his friends” was how they won in Return of the Jedi

i'm so glad they created the High Republic era instead of trying to cram this nonsense into an existing era

Every single scene had the potential to go farther than 1 inch deep with the dialogue and explain what the fuck is going on with the motives and ambitions behind each character and EVERY SINGLE TIME it boils down to "I want to do this" "You shouldn't do that" "This thing is what is good and right" "We dont like x and y" It's pathetic.

I can answer the question about the rocks burning. It's the same material they were mining in the quarry in Kenobi. You know, the pile of rocks that set on fire to mildly irritate Obi Wan as he lay in them but then facilitated his escape when they set on fire again.

Imagine during a ritual, one of the witches fucks up and instead of giving the leader power, she force pushes her into the bottomless pit

32:00 _"Mae started a fire . . ."_ Totally agree that that's misdirection. We'll find out around episode 6-7 that the Jedi started the fire because . . . patriarchy or something. And the writers will think it's the most amazing reveal ever.

Why is gatekeeping important? This. This is why. Keep them out of anything you enjoy because this is what always happens when they worm their way in.

Even in space black fathers leave their kids, this show confirms it.😂

I really hope they address the fact that Torbin was already an old looking master when he went into his coma thing ten years prior, yet six years before that he was a young padawan lmao

This episode is great study material for inconsistency in writing. "This is your fate - you can choose." > "Hey, Republic Law!" "We will have to test your children - with your permission." < "I'm hostile to you and we aren't under Republic law and you said you need our permission. Oh sure, why not?" And by god, the amount of characters talking past each other or not addressing the core subject.

The Force isn't completely inconsistent and constantly being retconned, it's just female.

RIP Lesbian Witch Jonestown.

Oh my god, I know what Disney is doing. It's Jacen and Jaina, twins, one sith and one jedi. Fuck me

Watching modern Star Wars is like attending a closed casket funeral.

Funny thing is, you know that the angle they're going to go for is that the Jedi wiped out the witches and that's why Mae is secretly a good, misunderstood character. But, Mae literally tried to kill Osha here. Regardless of what the Jedi would later do, the fact is not changed that MAE LITERALLY TRIED TO MURDER OSHA. The Jedi's actions have no bearing on that.

The idea of a failed padawan and the jedi who taught them being thrown together again by a shared tragedy and the scars of the past is actually a pretty good pitch. Which is what makes this show all the more disappointing. You could have the father/daughter bond they have be the emotional through line and the reason things didnt work out in the past. She wanted a dad after losing her family and he was unwilling and to devoted to the cause to be that for her. She Failed her trials and once the inciting incident that frames her for something she didnt do occurs he goes rogue because he believes her. The plot being them trying to clear her name, and the emotional barriers they had between each other being knocked down.

"It's like every single set that they have is just, like, a city with a bazaar where people are sellin' stuff." --FRINGO STARR good gravy, it's perfect. that's _exactly_ right. Fringy has nailed it - the Disney Star War. that clean, corporate, boring feeling these projects have. the sameness of it all. and it's absolutely that bazaar atmosphere. I'm sure it would be too cynical to be true that Walt Disney World Resorts and Hotels, (Book Tickets Now Special Offer Link Here) all offered such clean, bizarre Star Wars bazaars at each of their parks. correct?

Jedi don't just take kids for training by force. Did we forget the plot of the Phantom Menace? Qui-Gon had to find a way to release Anakin, and discussed it with his mother. What a fucking trainwreck

Evil sister is 100% responsible, but the writers will tell us that it's the Jedi's fault. This is how it always goes. These people can't help but to write villain's as the hero because they don't understand good & evil.

is the coven supposed to be so entirely vague that anyone who feels persecuted against can insert themselves and feel validated?

The writers for this show want us to empathize with the Coven of Space Witches, but wrote them like the Jamestown cult... Why are they so stupid? * Rants about how their entire group needs secluded from larger society because larger society hates them: *Check* * Blames all issues on the fact larger society is so hostile: *Check* * Claims larger society is violent, which makes them bad, while they use that same violence: *Check* * Claims their culture is just misunderstood and oppressed, while they reject the idea anyone could choose to live any other way: *Check* * Forbids and restricts people from leaving, including responding violently: *Check* * Responds to any outsiders with aggression, even when those outsiders just want to (seemingly) establish diplomatic relations: *Check* * Will kill and torture outsiders, even the young, to set an example: *Check*

The force has impregnated more women than God at this point.

Alright Rags and Ryan should definitely write a Star Wars story. Mauler and Fringy as script doctors.

oooo- I just noticed Rags animated discord icon, I love the 8bit lipsync style!

Just noting that the "good" and "moral" witch almost Qyburned the twins for no reason at all.

"Where's momma?" "Momma's dead." "Which one? The black one or the horned one?"

19% Audience rating: Power of Manyyyyyyyyyyyyy

"you want to be a jedi now, but you're young" Is that episode a parallel to our times? Is it teaching us that children are not grown to make lifetime decisions they could later regret - like... I don't know... gender transition? I totally agree. Im not sure woke LGBT leftist writers intended such message, but I totally agree.

God, hearing their stupid shit about destiny makes me long for Jolee Bindo. "Everyone sees someone with great potential and suddenly they say Destiny! But sometimes swirling force is just swirling force"

This is the point of the funeral where they start playing Taps.

"There are no children here" ... WE CAN SEE THEM!!!!

“Old-man Youngman” I cried laughing to death💀.

23:45 The hardest I’ve laughed at Star Wars since that dragon spewed up an entire child. Even the edit felt like it was in on how dumb that was. EVEN THE CHILD ACTOR! 😂

Right around the 51:00 someone starts saying "the jedi should have been there from the start." Totally right of course, and it's another common problem among Hollywood writers: they write the episode in the wrong order. If the Jedi had their "they're here" talk first then establish the antagonistic relationship, you give Osha an alternative to being a witch you save the ceremony for later after actually exploring all the motives and perspectives after testing and after the weave talk. Or something like that. Its like they don't watch the finished product, or don't do storyboards or something. It's baffling.

As you guys elaborated on, Star Wars is NOT a difficult galaxy to write for. With some fleeting brainstorming between you, the bare bones of a far more interesting story was born and you didn't need hundreds of millions to put it together. It's sad that's where we're at with the franchise but that's the reality. Kennedyfilm's creatives are complete and utter brainlets.

Wow, a stone temple made of anthracite. What are the odds?

When the Wookie turned around and paused after the little girl got his attention, I swear to god I was ready for him to just start speaking English. Fuck it. They've ruined everything else, why not this?

Hooray. Another episode of the thrilling origin story behind Bender and Flexo. I forgot the part about the Lesbian Witch Moms, but I'm sure that's my fault.

They dealt with the will of the force so much better with Kreia in KOTOR 2. Not perfect, but so much better.

Not gonna lie, the last 30 mins of this video was some of the most interesting conversations I’ve heard in a while.

"This is about power...right now you want to be a Jedi, but as you grow, what you changes and shifts...unless it's your gender...then go with that."

The idea of the Jedi going to 'recruit' a child and the child and parents and community refusing is something that has NEVER been really addressed, and really, really needs to be. How do the Jedi deal with that? My guess is they'd keep an eye on them and warn the community they'll be back if there are signs they go bad. This is one of about ten different compelling ideas this story is completely missing and squandering.

To be a Jedi, you must have the courage to tell the truth. Their first ever interactions with the Jedi are them boldly lying. Astounding.
