I found this episode interesting. It actually increased my interest in Sol as a character because I was surprised at his behavior. I had expected Indara to turn out to be the main instigator of the group. This was probably because she was the first one Mae went after and when she said the Jedi don't attack the unarmed, Mae called BS on it. It made me think indara in particular had done something in the past that Mae saw as unforgivable. Sol has been kinda overly emotional at times in the previous episodes, but it was also at times that would make the typical person emotional, so i just thought it's human even if it's less stoic than i interpret the typical Jedi to be. When "qimir" asks him what he's done with his darkness or when he says "you tell me" to Sol's question about what kind of master hides their face from their student, i thought qimir was messing with him, trying to twist his mind. And he is, but he's also zeroed in on something in Sol. He knows the dark truth of what happened on Brendock. And it's true sol hid this from osha, he hid the part of himself that did this from her. She doesn't know he killed her mother, or why. Sol makes a lot of assumptions about what he's seeing with the twins and the coven. Back in episode 3 i didn't think the twins were in danger from their people. I thought koril was kinda toxic and i understood why osha might long to see the world beyond their coven and meet other children, and i thought mae seemed really possessive of osha. In ep 7, Sol immediately starts thinking the twins are in danger and like nearly instantly starts thinking osha is supposed to be his padawan, and although he spies on the witches he doesn't see enough to understand much of anything about them (and it's not his business anyway). This is where the episode kinda gets into the authority the Jedi have. They are backed by the Republic and they have a lot of power. This is why the witches are afraid of them. They are on a planet outside of the Republic but the Jedi find them there and start making demands - they break into their home and start calling dibs on their children. They overstep their bounds (even the Jedi council thinks so). And all this because Sol has been flying away with his assumptions. They are witches so he assumes they must be on the verge of performing some dark ritual on the girls. He doesn't consider or see the love aniseya might have for her children until after he has killed her. I really thought Torbin was influenced by Aniseya. She wanted the Jedi to leave the planet because she was trying to protect her children from them. So she invaded the mind of the Jedi who wanted to go home and i think she was trying to intensify that desire (using the dark side). Before this encounter torbin is whining about how he wants to go home, but after he is singularly obsessed with the idea. This backfired for aniseya. Torbin is terrified of the witches afterwards and ends up seeing the twins as his ticket home (because they couldn't have been created without the vergence and are therefore proof of it). Ironically, torbin pushes things from testing the kids to taking the kids (which again, the Jedi have no right to do). Koril imo is another instigator. She's been butting heads with aniseya this whole time about how to raise the kids and how to deal with the Jedi. She suggested killing the jedi and grudgingly accepted aniseya's judgment that they can't use violence until aniseya is actually considering letting osha go and sol and torbin come back. These are koril's moments to do things her way. She eggs little Mae on towards the dark side (which proves disastrous) and finally she can try to kill the Jedi as she's been longing to do this whole time. But still imo the witches on the whole are acting in self defense. It's the Jedi who broke into their home and threaten to take their kids. And cooler heads didn't prevail on either side. But the Jedi had a responsibility not to abuse the authority and the power they held, and they didn't fulfill that responsibility. Anyway I am hoping we will learn more about Sol in the last episode - why he had this deep need to have a padawan (it reminds me of the hole Anakin has inside him from the separation from his mother that he later tries to fill with padme and then falls to the dark side when he's afraid he might lose her). Anyway when one tries to covet or possess another person to fill a hole like that in star wars, the dark side is in operation. There's so much to cover i don't know how they can cover it all in just one more episode. I feel like the show didn't give itself enough time to tell this story. The story has come off as kinda choppy and missing things to me. I think the show is very star wars because it's about the interplay of the light and the dark. It's the light side in Sol for instance who wants to save and protect. It's the dark side in Sol who wants to take and possess. I really wonder what he has to say to Mae since she saw what happened. Does he want to save her, or does he need to save her to save himself? I understand mae much better after this episode.

Thank you very much for your reactio and your smart analysis! And of course you're right: so much anti-Jedi, anti-canon, anti-Star Wars is almost unbearable! Thank you for your honesty! All the best from Germany!

Sweetie the jedi look like that only because the witches pushed. Or did you miss that part. Having the witch start first at fault. She took over Torbin's mind gave dark thoughts too. Also having the May talk about sacrifice help push the Assumption Sol made which help to the situation. Some would say funny how all these small but big mistakes is the dark side of the force pushing in on the light. Upsetting the balance since the witches messed with the force. Same reason Aniken was born.

What just happen 🤔🤔🤔

Honey they are untrained, Why would you expect them to know soul was watching them?

I'm surprised you aren't self medicating at this point

it's so silly to get mad when the show doesn't blame the Jedi, the fault is only torbin's and sol's, why all the Jedi have to fall in this if the council clearly said no and these 2 did what their emotions told them, this series is the one that has more sense among all of late stuff out except Andor, but at the end is a thing of opinions and taste, good of you to see it and like it or not, not everyone gives it that chance, i'd say if it angers you so much to not watch it anymore but we are only one episode away so let's finish it and see how everything is wrapped up, don't think that it will get another season with all the hate it had, i really wouldn't want it because there are more eras to work but no doubt this was something different and risky and that's good, finally a rest to the skywalker saga

Oh no!! More fake fan tears!!😂😂😂😂

So remember how t v shows work cliffhangers.Especially at the end of the season. Don't fall into all the star wars fan hate
