"Stop, don't kill him!" Tell that to Yord's snapped neck!

"Stop! Don't kill him! If you do, you'll be just as bad as him!" "But...he killed our friends for fun..." "And if you kill one person, you're exactly as bad as someone who has killed 20! Now stand back and lets watch as animals eat him alive, morally and justly!"

Smilo knew he was in a Disney lightsaber fight, so he stabbed multiple times and decapitated just to play it safe 😂

"The Jedi won't leave me alone to use the force the way I want, so I will actively antagonize them and reveal myself to them to ensure they won't ever leave me alone" Genius

Mace Windu would've chopped Smilos head off without a second thought.

"The Jedi don't kill the defensless" My man he killed 8 people.

So Sol decide to leaves his dead padawan’s body with the moths. What a great mentor.

Squid Game standing there like a lemon and doing nothing is like he failed a QTE and watched as Wesker broke Sheva's neck.

>"I'm gonna let the Jedi arrest me so I can tell them what I know." >The Jedi attempt to arrest her >She resists 10/10 writing

"She was a child!" "You brought her here." Sol is gonna need some bacta for that burn.

“Jedi do not attack the unarmed” Says Sol to the guy who just murdered his friends and padawan and knows how to use the force

>kills pretty much every named character present with silly joker helmet >is deaf to industry plant girl literally announcing she'll do the thing and her subsequent running at him to do thing >gets jumped by moths, loses "This script... it's... it's BEAUTIFUL!" Dave Felatio

Every death here is a result of Osha deliberately letting her murderous sister escape in Ep2. However, she isn't alone. Stupidity is helping. Jecki is responsible for leading to her own death by shooting down Yord's confrontational plan and instead proposing that dumb disguise plan in Ep2. Sol is also responsible for agreeing with Jecki's dumb plan and then letting potion-Sith escape with a slap on the wrist, despite having assisted in killing a Jedi Master (not to mention the previous apothecary disappearing under mysterious circumstances from a guy dealing in poisons). Considering Yord's plans usually mean a more aggressive confrontation with the target and mind-reading, if they'd gone with his plan, they might all still be alive. Including the Wookie Jedi. So Yord and the unnamed Jedi are probably the only real victims in these series of events since Ep2. Victim, but Yord is still an idiot. But everyone is a colossal idiot in this show. Everyone dying landed with a dull thud. Just like their lifeless bodies. Honestly, I care about everyone dying as much as Sol apparently did. Hardly a wrinkle in his mood. He just got up and strolled out. Didn't even check for life from anyone and just dipped out. He didn't even accomplish the mission to see what happened to Kelnacca.

If only Master Tobin had awakened just for a few minutes during his 10-year sleep to teach a jedi how to use the force shield. Lives could have been saved. SMH!!

Yunnoh, Palpatine was an idiot in the prequels. He should’ve just said “Master Windu, I am unarmed! A Jedi would never attack someone unarmed!” Man, that example of killing Yord is the perfect example of why such a rule NEVER existed and if it did, would never be applied in such a way. If someone has demonstrated they are a threat to the extent that they have killed someone, weapon or not you do whatever to detain/neutralise them. Going forward, any deaths are in part, Sol’s fault. Just like every death here was partially Osha’s fault for letting Mae go.

That whole "Phrik" discussion had me in stitches.

Mae's motivations keep flip-flopping back and forth. She said that she's giving up on her revenge and that her loyalty's to her sister, last episode; but in this episode, she knocked out her sister, left her unprotected in the forest, and presumably is going to take her revenge on Sol. Also, if she wasn't responsible for the deaths of the other witches, she did a terrible job in clarifying that to Osha

“The Jedi do not attack the unarmed” SIMLO HAS THE FORCE. HE HAS KILLED WITH IT.

We all know the Fat Jedi is slowly catching up... and when he gets there.... ain't no force push/pull going to affect him!

People getting tricked into thinking this is a good episode just because of the fight scenes is truly aggravating. Acknowledging that the action is good is one thing, but to act like this somehow redeems the horrendous writing is another.

42:26 Now we need a scene of Senator Organa Sr. in a Frick-lined refrigerator surviving the destruction of Alderaan...

This episode really destroyed Sol, huh? Just doinking around while his friends get killed, leaving their bodies to rot in the Jungle, leaving Ezra Miller alive, not sensing something is off about "Osha"... What a loser.

Appreciate the quick turnaround on these videos! Alright Mauler you can let yourself and your team out of the editing dungeon...for now 😉

Also, how did 20 Jedi die on this mission and the council never learn about it? How did Ripoff Shrek manage to keep a Jedi massacre quiet?

The films themselves prove the logic of this series wrong. When the Sith finally do reveal themselves, not a single person or entity blames the Jedi. The Jedi are instantly made Generals of a galactic army to combat them directly with more power than they've ever had in history lol

The fact that Darth Tenebrous and Darth Plagueis didn't sense such a powerful dark side force user just cutting about with a red lightsaber getting their apprentice to target JEDI MASTERS is absolutely laughable 😂

The Death Star wasn't a weapon used by the Empire to instill fear, Palpatine just wanted to start a Phrik mining franchise

So she stopped Sol from killing Smilo all so she could sacrifice her droid friend to *maybe* kill Smilo. Osha's alignment is apparently Stupid Evil.

If he is strong enough to pull a jedi knight, he is definitely strong enough to force subdue the padawan girl... but he aint allowed.

They really should have introduced the cortosis earlier in the series. Have Mae use a cortosis knife to kill Trinity. It would be the thing that gave Mae the opening to kill Trinity. That way the cortosis could be introduced during the investigation and when Smilo Ren shows up in cortosis armor we know what it is and that it's a big deal.

"One major source of phrik was the phrikite mines of Gromas 16" is the most Star Wars statement I've ever read

I still think that an EFAP Movies arc of all the main Star Wars films would be fantastic. Similar to the LOTR reactions they can gush over their favourite parts and analyse in real time as the movies evolve through the prequels and Disney era. Plus, who doesn't want to see "EFAP reacts to TLJ"? It'd be a monumental event to see how that recording session goes.

What does Asian Ezra Miller want? He wants to be a force user without rules so he has to kill the Jedi, but even if killed all the Jedi, what does he want to do with his powers? Start a criminal empire? Run a shop? WTF does he want beyond the show?

I like how Darth Bane has to get weird parasitic force bugs from some ancient sith temple, go through absolute and constant agony to keep them under control as to not let them kill him or take over his emotions, and has to learn how to accomplish this through the teachings of an ancient sith from a holocron (an incredibly rare and effective teaching tool), in order to have anti lightsaber armor. And despite the various benefits of having incredibly strong armor covering a large portion of his body, making him largely immune to conventional weapons, it can easily be argued that the various drawbacks of the bugs were so severe that they were instrumental to his downfall. In the land of Disney on the other hand, almost everybody and their grandam's tiny dog apparently possess armor that is immune to everything from blasters to lightsabers... This is like the writers saying "Plot armor isn't obvious enough, lets step this up a notch."

Ah. Cortosis. That lightsaber-resistant material that was never even mentioned in the show, much less given an explanation, and then made it instrumental in the fight scene. Great. If only we had a character challenged to defeat Jedi without a weapon who could have been exploring options to level the playing field while adhering to the letter of the rule. That sure would have been a great way to organically establish cortosis in the show before it was sprung on us. Maybe it could have happened during an existing conversation in, say, an apothecary shop, or while walking in the woods, when a character was already clearly spitballing possible ways to kill a Jedi while weaponless. But who could _possibly_ have such a niche goal to fill that role?

I want to point out that it's incredibly dumb that the Jedi (looking at you Ki Adi Mundi) didn't know about this incident during the prequels but even more unbelievable was that Darth Tenebrous and Darth Plagueis didn't sense the presence of such a powerful dark side force user.

See, Squid Game couldn't save padawan girl and yellow lightsaber because he ran out of Force Points, and at the rate it was regenerating, he couldn't afford any of his powers.

I love how Mae thinks she can hide with Sol when he literally pointed out she has a new tattoo in the flash back lol

"No don't kill Smilo Ren, my master who told me to go around killing jedi, which I did!" "Don't kill him, even though he just recently killed several jedis and your young apprentice, I can fix him!" What the hell is this nonsensical writing?

anyone else remember that yoda could distinguish literal clones in the force. now you cant tell the difference between twins with vastly different emotions

Smilo Ren was discount Ezra Miller all along? Whoa, that was so unpredictable

Please, whoever is editing these, please add the Leslie Nielson Police Squad / Naked Gun thrown pillow scene when the cloak was thrown on Sole. It is perfect where Leslie is thrown a pillow and then grabs and holds it on his own face - it is _perfect_ I swear.

I swear to Yaddle, this was written my AI. The dialogue is 100% AI written. The vague nonsense, the forgetting what just happened, all of it. They used a last generation chatbot app to write this show.

Osha, Ep4: I feel really, really bad about my actions accidentally leading to the death of that bug monster. Osha, Ep5: Let's set a bunch of bug monsters on a Sith who will hack them to pieces with his lightsaber rather than me just escaping with Yord as Sol wanted, or work with Sol & Yord to kill SmilORen.

The lightsaber-shorting ore was specifically introduced twenty years ago in a book called "I, Jedi" as armor, but it gets dumber: the writer said that Palpatine armored his throne rooms and bedchambers with it. There's so much of it available to the rich and powerful that you can coat entire rooms with it.

The Shlurpolite, episode 5: The true mastermind reveals himself to be... Poggle the Lesser from the Prequels because I am running out of characters at this point. Poggle says "I am the Bug People" and then does a bag flip and fights all the Jedi, slaying many whilst the Techno Union provide the soundtrack. Meanwhile Bad Shlurpo has had an interesting character journey. She was loyal to Shlurpo, but tried to kill Good Shlurpo when she was a child, then wants revenge on the Jedi for killing Good Shlurpo, she takes out Jedi's then gets bored and says she wants to be a good Shlurpo. However, she finds out Jedi Master Porkins has died of diabeetes, so she decides to impersonate her sister Good Shlurpo to get closer to Jedi Master Ho Lee Fuk and kill him. She wears clown shoes, puts her hat at a jaunty angle and waves her flashlight back and forth just like Good Shlurpo. Hopefully they won't notice any difference despite the fact Bad Shlurpo has a tattoo that says "I am evil" written on her face. Tune in next week for whatever is next.

24:30 Osha sacrifices the robot 25:40 She has the robot again

The thing that particularly sticks in my throat, amongst all the other BS, is how Sol just leaves his Jedi dead (and lightsabers) to rot and be fed on by jungle carrion.... even his 'child' apprentice, What the F*@k!

Disney: has Ahsoka fighting zombies instead of giving Thrawn's armies cortosis armor, as Thrawn is canonically aware of its power. Also Disney: gives cortosis to a random sith who uses it on precisely two pieces of armor. Also how does he carry his helmet around with him?

In case there was any confusion on why Jecki and Osha had random heart to heart conversations in Episode 4, a certain death in this episode explains why.

Sol could've totally killed that guy instead of sparing his life and the series would have been over. We could have like two beach episodes after this!

Watching this after the RLM video where they desperately try to fence sit while clearly fighting back the urge to defend this trash, lmfao.

Dunno if anyone has pointed it out, but Dafne Keen (Jecki) is credited for all the remaining episodes. So she might still be alive lol. Yord and others are not.

My prediction for the "the sith have been extinct for a millenia" Sol reports to the Jedi that all his team except for "Osha" is dead. The jedi do some mental gymnastics along the lines of "you killed all the other witnesses of Brendok, killed the whole team and now you're saying the Sith did it? And the girl you have with you isn't even Osha. Master and apprentice - dun dun duuuuun" Basically, Sol gets framed for the whole thing and the jedi go "case closed"

*how did this happen?! we're smarter than this!* - sums up Disney Wars as a whole

I feel like the old rule was that it requires an exponentially higher use of force to attack another force user than it costs them to defend. So unless you were much, much more powerful than your opponent it wasn’t worth it

Last week, the "Yord Horde" were defending this show. Given he is dead now, I wonder if they will next week.

Disney Star Wars unintentionally delivered one of the most based character lines in the franchise when Qimir called Jecki "it". Guy clearly doesn't care about pronouns😂

I don’t know what cringe awaits us in this episode, but regarding the “splinter order” that keeps rumored around. The Expanded universe explained that the origins of the sith that they were Jedi who tried to take the order into the Gray area between light and dark and because of that they were expelled. Upon their expelling, they came across a planet called korraban that is inhabited by a species that woreships the dark side. They eventually befriended those aliens and together they created a new order, the sith order, so the sith ARE already a *SPLINTER ORDER FROM THE JEDI!!!!*

Jecki Stardust lasted way longer in that fight than she should have

The show not allowing sol to kill ezra miller because "he has no weapon" has the same energy as walker being labeled evil because he killed an unarmed supersoldier who was involved in multiple murders.

The fantastic metallic substance called Phrik is actually just the excrement of Babu Frik's species. I think this idea came from Futurama.

GUYS! SMILE-O REN IS QIMIR! I clapped because I know who that is! And his helmet was made of some cool metal that shorts out lightsabers! I clapped because it was so cool! I clapped for Star Wars!

Imagine, just imagine you've written your protagonist to care so little about her friends that even seeing them get killed in front of her doesn't elicit a response. Darth Gains here just murdered your friend with his bare hands, I really don't think he counts as "unarmed". Also, the thought that a cortosis throwing knife and a blaster could literally double tap any Jedi (that didn't already know what was coming) is kinda hilarious, just throw the knife at them, watch them block it like Trinity did, short out their lightsaber and then shoot them with your blaster, easy.

Smilo ren reveal... HOLY FISH PASTE ITS A GUY

Since the Darth Bane series was brought up, I believe it was stated in "Path of Destruction" that everyone puts up a barrier to resist telekinetic powers. It takes concentration to maintain it, so it could be penetrated. But since the EU was nullified, ya, there's no consistency to when telekinesis works.

If Sol would have just killed Smilo Ren in the forrest until Osha told him not to do it, the Sith would have been done and Sidious wouldn't have ruled the Galaxy as a dictator for decades. So thanks for that, Osha. The people of Alderaan are especially grateful.

L.: 'Noooo, H.. She was innocent. H.: 'You brought her here.'

I get that his helmet can turn off lightsabers but headbutting one is still kinda dumb. Like, what if your aim is off? Say goodbye to an arm.

"Wat'ch'a'bring'me?" is such a devilish way to keep us watching to the end. It's an addictive drug. I need the weekly hit.

Schlurpo runs the phrik and cortosis black market.

The Ride of the Mothhirrim was awesome story telling and action.

Star Wars Legends Cortosis ore was a very rare, brittle, fibrous material, the conductive properties of which would cause lightsabers to temporarily short out upon contact. This effect made cortosis a useful material for anti-lightsaber melee weapons, though with repeated strikes, a lightsaber could still cut through it. Cortosis, due to its energy resistant properties, was also resistant to blaster fire. Cortosis ore was used extensively in shadowtrooper armor, as well as the C-B3 cortosis battle droids during the Clone Wars, and the Force-using group known as the Jensaarai. The cortosis used for this armor was smuggled out from Bespin's Cloud City. The walls of the Imperial Palace were also lined with cortosis ore. It was also used to strengthen starfighter and capital ship hulls, and was woven into body armor. Cortosis was expensive to mine because it was so rare and it had to be absolutely refined. Pure, unrefined, cortosis ore was for unexplained reasons, energized, killing anyone who touched it with their bare skin, even Hutts, who had energy-resistant enzymes in their sweat. Miners had to have filtering equipment, or else the cortosis particles would accumulate in their systems, causing hair loss, sickness, and eventually death. The substance was energy-resistant, meaning energy tools (such as plasma torches) were virtually useless. The brute force of hydraulic jacks were used to mine it, though it quickly wore the head of the jack to uselessness and its dust would clog the pistons. Pockets of highly-combustible lethane gas often formed near cortosis deposits.

The power of many is nullified by the power of smylo.

How does Yord not remember those things are attracted to the light? He was standing right there

The writers not understanding the point of the Jedi's unarmed prisoner rule being "do not enact senseless violence if it is avoidable" as in "no random execution of POWs, no murder, no killing because you got angy, resort to violence only if you reasonably believe that you have to in order to protect yourself or the innocent" is frustrating. It's not that hard to grasp. The idea that it's like touching a thing during tag and shouting "save" except it's your weapon and you're save when *not* touching it is infantile.

Sol: What are you? Smylo Ren: You could call me a sith. Sol: That's impossible. The sith have been extinct for 900 years!

Rereading the old good EU stuff really puts into perspective how stupid Disney Star Wars is in. For context, in the Hand of Thrawn duology(SPOILER ALERT) there's a bit where Luke investigates a group of pirates and is ultimately captured. How he's captured is smart where the pirates lure him into a gravity chamber and separate him from his lightsaber. The pirates explained they had it built in case they ran into Jedi(note, the New Jedi order was just starting up and it's like 15 years after the OT) and they even accounted for Luke's force pull to his saber by positioning it in a way where he can't pull it or cut it free. So how does Luke escape? Well, he uses some battery packs of ammo which he levitates via the force(the cage he's in has bars but they aren't very big), floats to his saber and uses his saber to trigger an explosion which frees his saber and he can pull it and cut him free. This works because earlier, he's found out and he drops his blaster and when asked about his ammo packs, the pirates assume he won't be able to do anything with them. Now, I can see EFAP and members having issues with say the new Force powers within the old EU or even this setup possibly, but you can't tell me this entire thing I described is in the same league as this crap from the Acolyte? One that clearly had a lot of thought put in and showcased how resourceful Luke was as a character vs flashy lightsaber moves with characters barely doing anything?

The fact that people are honestly trying to defend this shit writing is endlessly more entertaining than the show itself.

Phrik is the new "isle of man"

He is willing to Kill Osha in this episode..but doesn't just gut her like a Fish in the end of the last episode. "You can't kill Jedi with a Lightsaber.." *kills like 5 Jedi with a Lightsaber in this episode* Sol's stock plummeted in this episode, He allowed a Sith Lord to go free in episode 2, every single death that occurs as a result of Qimir not getting arrested in Episode 2 is directly Sol's fault. Sol is the worst Jedi in the history of Jedi.

The fight scene was probably the best lightsaber duel of the Disney Era, (but what is the fascination with making them at night? Seriously all of the fights are so dim across all the tv shows) and I like lightsabers being lethal again… Too bad about literally everything else. (Edit): I've seen a remarkable amount of conversation on other videos saying the moths were fine because Star Wars is goofy, the old stormtrooper head bonk argument therefore criticism invalidated argument in full force again. Besides which I think the criticism is not that the moths were used as a plot device after being set up in the previous episode but the manner in which there were used, that rather than being a desperate gamble during the low point they were instead a inefficient method of execution purely for plot armor reasons. Smylo wasn't even unarmed in any real sense given so Sol's moral dilemma was pointless.

Man, sometimes you're just unlucky, I wish Sol had rolled higher on initiative so both his pupils didn't have to die while he was waiting for his turn.

I'm afraid they're going to do something even worse with the flashback now. I think when Mae says Osha was brainwashed, they're going to make that literally true, and the stuff we saw with Mae starting a fire never even happened. It's not just that Osha didn't see what happened, it's that the Jedi Force-manipulated her memories, and it was Mae trying to save Osha from the Jedi or something like that. They might even do the thing where the whole time, it was MAE who wanted to join the Jedi as a kid, and Osha didn't trust them, but then the Jedi basically kidnapped her and brainwashed her into remembering everything differently.

If these lightsaber fights made any sense, they’d all end in decapitations, severed limbs or people just cut in half. No one is going to just stab with a lightsaber, it isn’t a sword where there resistance and strength involved in the damage you do. You just have to be able to hold the sabre and you can do so much damage. This is so shit

OSHA straight up saved the main villain and got Yord killed by convincing him to go back.

I bet that green woman will go to the jungle planet to kill the Jedi who survived and also Smilo to keep the Sith a secret.

Image if they just captured/arrested him in episode 2 ... Why didn't they?

It's worse than budget, she said they cut the Wookie fight because it broke the POV of the show. The POV is, oh my goodness who killed the Wookie, and then they reveal it five seconds later anyway!!! Just show the Wookie fight ffs!

Mae is like Kylo Ren & Reeva combined: Her motivations are absolutely incomprehensible AND her actions constantly contradict them.

They actually explained why Saul did nothing... they said Smilo-Ren does not follow the rules of combat; those rules are indeed turn based combat. I go, then you, then him, then back to me. But Smilo-Ren cheated by allowing the jedi knight to go, then he went again, and Sol was confused - those seven seconds of inaction was because he was trying to figure out whose turn it was. It happens on tabletop RPGS all the time hmhmhm

This is where the fun begins.

I’m fully expecting mauler to be upset this dude wasn’t taken in for questioning in ep 2! These writers have no cleverness, so they write everyone dumb in order for things to happen. I miss Andor!

My grandmother told me, “I don’t care what they told you in film class, the mad goose wizard was sith”

39:50 He only came across as a red herring because the writers are bad at their jobs. They even had him do the ‘Excuse me, I need to be suspiciously unaccounted for during the murder’ thing. That’s one of the most obvious ‘this guy might be the killer’ signposts in fiction, and any even remotely competent mystery writer uses something like that that to add someone to a _list_ of suspects. Instead, he was the _only_ suspect, and I think the writers genuinely thought that they weren’t laying a blazing neon trail of evidence right to him and him alone. Because, again: bad at their jobs.

The "reveal" is somehow more disappointing than I expected. Oh, and the Force absorb ability Ryan brought up was called tutaminis in the EU; there's a great SWTOR trailer (I think it's called 'Hope') where Satele Shan performs it in a fight against Darth Malgus-it's the coolest use of the ability I've seen. Speaking of Ryan, his commentary on these videos is invaluable; his familiarity with the EU is much appreciated and adds a lot of interesting perspective and context. I was also annoyed with the Padawan's inconsistent power level. First she's doing beginner drills for some reason, even though she should be long past that kind of training and we're given no indication that she's meant to be helping to teach the class-then she's suddenly holding her own against what's, presumably, a Sith Lord? All while a Jedi MASTER folds to a Sith apprentice in the first few minutes of this show? Give me a break. And the drills make no sense either! Sticks? We've already seen in ANH and in AOTC how beginner Jedi are trained-even small children can safely use the lightsabers because they're special ones specifically for that (they're smaller for a reason) and are not made to cause grievous injury. So it can be reasonably deduced that the youngling sabers are set to stun or simply not used to maim and kill, making the use of bo staves pointless.

Quite the contrary Mauler, there is canonically a material called frik that can block lightsabers. It’s used by General Grievous Magna Guard Droid’s electro staffs

I'm laughing at the fact that in the first shot with lightsabers through the trees, we see a bunch of Jedi lightsabers off to the left just swinging away at nothing, or even each other while smilo is way off to the right. Peak disney right there

Ngl that three stab execution was sick 😂

Admittedly, even I was impressed by /some/ of this episode, like the triple tap kill, or Yorg using the discarded helmet to his fleeting advantage. Heck, my ol' nerdy self appreciated the chance to finally see cortosis get some live action love, but that discussion about Phrik brought me back to reality, reminding me how absolutely daft this franchise has become. Thanks a lot, Disney.
