Nobody is safe, even background characters with almost no lines.

Mundi is a secret sith himself. He even faked his own birth to appear 40 years younger - and everybody on the council fell for it!

Palpatine set his Mygeeto demise up personally offscreen. “This is for my grandmama”

Mundi😂! Mundi is word for a persons head in india

A surprise to be sure but a most unwelcome one.

Is it character assassination? Because they didn't make him act in a way contradictory to how he was established. They had him exist in a place that was impossible. It's so much more dumb of a blunder than what we typically see when describing something as "character assassination." The incompetence on this one is honestly hilarious to me.

It's the Free Space.

You pay attention, I think your saying this is a continuation of what the emperor described to rey in last jedi, about dead sith manifesting in force power within someone and how its strictly a sith oriented power.

Nah, it was actually the fumes of the wookie's incinerated chest hairs that did him in. There must've been about a decade's worth of spilled meals in there if the tracker managed to find him from a year-old piece of cloth.

@@wishuponamonkeyspaw2458 You know, an easier explanation for the tracker would have been "Kalnaca is probably the only wookie on this planet, he's visitied this village recently, and they have a strong, distinct smell." rather than them just having a rag on standby.

I know it's never really explained, but wouldn't a lightsaber boil your blood the moment you get stabbed with it? Like it's so hot it would just melt your insides, not leave a nice hole with nothing flowing out

Unfortunately the poor wookie wasn't wearing his plot armor.

@@ZeSgtSchultz No, they don't emit heat. They only incinerate whatever touches the blade. Otherwise you couldn't even hold them, they would boil the flesh off your bones just by igniting it.

I’d argue even more than 40 years, since this occurred 40 years before he was born, but here he is already aged… unless of course that’s how a literal baby looks like for their species

Turns out, fans care about established lore.

The thing is, I could care less about ki adi mundi being alive at this time, because his birth date is based on material that disney has already decanonized, but man is it absolute dumbassery to have him be the one to deliver the line of the sith, even if the jedi order come to the conclusion that this darkside force user was definitely not sith, you cannot make me believe a dude who witnessed the events of a "splinter order" would be this skeptical to a dark side force threat, especially when according to a qui-gon, a master jedi, it was a definitely a sith in

Agreed. Also, it's just part of the whole "making Jedi evil" thing. And trying to "solve" the lore breaking of Mundis line in The Phantom Menace. Essentially, "see, we didn't break canon! Mundi was just lying in TPM as part of the Jedi cover up!".

She’s single-handedly made the argument to outlaw lesbians from being in any position of any authority, even as lowly as unlocking public toilets, due to the sheer magnitude of incompetence they embody.

Where's the money, Lesbian Headlamp? 180 million, where did it go? These people are not even cool enough to have a crippling cocaine addiction. So where is the money, Lesbian? Bob Iger should be asking this while Kathleen Kennedy watches, as goons go to work on Lesbian's kneecaps. But we all know why Lesbian Headlamp is protected, why Kathleen Kennedy is protected. Lesbian Headlampo was Harvey Weinstein's personal assistant. She scheduled his meetings, booked his hotel rooms, handled his private communications with VIPS and assignations with, uh, people. She was as connected to the dirt going on as any studio exec. Being that close to criminality yet you walk unscathed? She turned on dear old Harv and bought this future. And she is failing, hard

I mean, that’s not even far off lol. In the High Republic content he just up and vanishes for the majority of the initial “phase” of content, presumably so he doesn’t solve a shitload of their problems singlehandedly. I think they explain it as him going to find some secret knowledge to stop the current threat or something.

The writer was asked about Mundi on Twitter, and she replied it was originally planned to be Yoda but apparently he was "unavailable" you can tell by the words she uses that the studio was not willing to let them use his character. So Filoni did something right at least.

​@@a_fine_edition2746Ah-ha, but dontcha know, friend-o? Yoda in the new canon is no longer the epitome of what it means to be a Jedi; nor is he any longer the strongest or most impressive.

Ryan is more knowledgeable on Star Wars than literally anyone I have ever ran across. He is so knowledgeable it makes Star Wars Theory look like a brand new fan. (I love Theory, but I'm js)

The only person I have ever met who potentially knows more than Ryan was this waiter at Applebee's who was my waiter for my 10th birthday party. He had a nokia phone with a star wars ringtone and told my friend and I there were many ranks above Jedi Master. Thats probably not canon anymore tho

Because the people writing this doesnt care. They are just making marxist propaganda.

@@Joe-rq9tdI recall there being two ranks above Master. Master of the Council (Windu) Grandmaster (Yoda). They're equivalent in rank, Windu is the logistical leader of the Jedi (CEO), Yoda is the spiritual leader (Chairman). Not all Masters sit in the Council e.g., Qui-Gon, so Council members might be Master+ or something 😂

OMG that rings bells! Either that or I can just easily hear Mauler saying that in my head… Either way, course he fuckin did 😂

The answer is yes.

Mauler has the power of the spiders on his side.

She's a female & a person of colour. What on earth made you think she would stay the bad guy or be defeated or in any way be held responsible for her actions of directly endangering innocent people & murdering people? It's like you haven't been paying attention to Disney priorities.

I would bet, that they didn't even had 8 episodes, but cut some of them up to get to 8. Would explain the short runtime of episode 4 and the harsh cut at the end. Also I would bet, that we get at least 2-3 more filler episodes before the finale.

I’m a writer, and the story I’ve written would take like three seasons.

Same...I'm finding a lot of this interesting for other reasons than that it is a comedy masterpiece as well. Watching all these reviews of it, I learn way more about Star Wars lore than I have ever known due to real fans correcting so much that they have made up. ALL ideologies of this class of people revolve around deception, and being parasitic of something that someone else created. Every aspect of their ethics, morality, and souls trends to evil. Shockingly they were honest enough in interviews to have someone say that Harvey Weinstein's personal assistant, Leslie Headland was a "Sith". NOTE: Post will be auto-deleted like all of mine are because "not woke". Only you might see it in your notifications.

This show doesn’t look like it cost anywhere near $180 million

This trainwreck costing 180 million vs Godzilla minus one costing 15 million to make simply does not add up. They are either pocketing a ton of money or about to crash harder than the Hindenburg.

Hence why she gave her wife a role: gotta double-dip into that budget.

They just told that to get headlines and engagement. It probably cost around 18 million. But that doesn't sound outrageous enough.

pretty much a standard Adam Sandler style money-laundering operation. (Allegedly) Just get all your friends to show up and kick them all a couple million of that sweet sweet DEI money.

“I’m oppressed despite being the lead in a 200 million dollar show” *twerks*

I love the retcon- I mean the world between worlds, it makes everything I write make sense!

This reminds me of that Teen Titans episode where Raven and Starfire got body switched and, because Starfire’s powers are based on being emotional and Raven’s are being the opposite, Starfire kept activating Raven’s powers and that was, like, the drama. Those two learning how to control the other’s powers and bonding over that. Even if you don’t do body switching-which Star Wars shouldn’t-that would still be something neat to explore

But shadow is actually cool though.

What kind of organisation would keep year old dirty laundry of their members 😂

That gopher wasn’t the only one sniffing laundry

You're right. Even in Disney shows like The Clone Wars, Palpatine is very much keeping tabs on the dark side wielders adjacent to him. And yes, that's _Palpatine_ and he is very powerful indeed, like a spider sat in the middle of it's web. The example I am referring to, demonstrates Palpatine sensing the rise in Asajj Ventress's power from Coruscant, while she was fighting over Bothawui. Keep in mind that this is totally canonical. Palpatine is sat on Coruscant, and can feel Ventress getting a bit stronger. That is obviously a concern to Palpatine because he doesn't trust Dooku and thinks that if Ventress gets strong enough, Dooku and Ventress _combined_ might bring him down. Pretty basic stuff and entirely logical, according to the Sith. Palpatine immediately ordered Dooku to execute Ventress, having the rest of her fleet open fire on her even as Obi-Wan and Anakin seemed to be in the process of capturing her (Dooku, reluctantly ordering the rest of her fleet over Bothawui, to open fire on the ship Ventress had landed in, before retreating from the lost battle) Dooku didn't really want to execute her, but Palpatine pulled rank on him and used the excuse of her defeat. The moment Darth Maul and Savage Oppress became slightly too big for their boots on Mandalore, Palpatine cracked his knuckles and went in to personally kick their backsides himself, for becoming a rival to the true Rule of Two (himself and Dooku/Tyranus, at that time) It's quite possible that Dooku had no idea that Palpatine had done this, come to think of it. After all, Dooku could have been sent to Mandalore instead, being stronger than Maul and easily able to slay Savage. But because TCW nerfed Dooku to insane levels, with wildly inconsistent portrayals (sometimes somewhat badass, sometimes quite pathetic), that didn't happen. Palpatine just handled it himself. I guess the Senate wasn't busy that day (in more ways than one) It was really Palpatine breaking lose and enjoying himself, one might say. If Palpatine can do that, why not Yoda? Well, 'the Shroud of the Dark Side' had fallen, and in Episode II Windu mentions how the Jedi had to tell the Senate that their 'ability to use the Force had been diminished'. It's an often forgotten and maybe throwaway line in Episode II, but it is absolutely part of the canon as one of the main, episodic films in the Skywalker Saga. Now, sure, the Sith are essentially obfuscating and spoiling the clarity of how the Jedi can use the Force to understand things. That is what is implied. But Jedi can still, you know, sense each other - whether on-world or even if they are many planets away. Yoda senses Anakin's pain from Coruscant, while Anakin is on Tatooine. That's some range. And yes that's _Yoda_ aka the Grand Master of the Jedi Order himself. All the same, many Jedi could attune themselves to such long range sensory ability, if you think about it. Why not Windu, or Dooku before he turned to the Sith (and he'd definitely be able to afterwards, as a Sith Lord) There are such skills as masking your Force signature (in the old lore, Dooku and Obi-Wan Kenobi do that a lot, respectively, during the Clone Wars) Palpatine is clearly the most terrifying at that ability, because he can casually sit in a room with the strongest and 'wisest' of the Jedi Masters in the entire galaxy, and work as a Senator and then the Supreme Chancellor in the Senate around them all the time for decades (13 years as Supreme Chancellor, and many years before that as Senator for Naboo) These are skills that exist for reasons in Star Wars, and in Palpatine's case, obviously his specific reasons for doing that were horrifying, because of what he really is. Disney kind of forgot, though.

This is the story, they’re just wasting money and not caring how it’s spent.

At least this show doesn't ruin Yoda. If he was in this show, he'd have to be as dumb as the other Acolyte characters.

@@dragonknightleader1 Well, yeah, I'd prefer they just not show the Jedi Temple at all... It doesn't make sense they do anyway since there is a ticking clock here. It's just telling Disney thought: "Oh! Ki-adi Mundi!"

That sounds like hard work though. Disney producers and directors don't want to do that.

This is the easy and logical way to fix the problem

This can only make sense if nu-LucasFilm resurrect some Legends/Expanded Universe lore, which says the Jedi Order carved out an exception to the "no marriage" rule for male Cereans due to their naturally low male birthrate. Ki-Adi-Mundi in the EU has multiple wives. The new canon wiped off this exception so as much sense this would make to fix the timeline issue, only LucasFilm's stubbornness to avoid paying EU authors royalties stands in the way.

Sadly, the lightsaber colours were chosen entirely based on aesthetics and have nothing to do with matching the wielders personality.

Trinity does not get points for not pulling her saber until the fight is almost over.
