Just another okay episode...not that great. And the credits did show that was Ki-Adi Mundi!...I mention it in my review after the episode Question - Who is the Sith?

Sith using the force to levitate down is something out of legends and Mae seeing her sister alive is what changed her motivations

Thank you for remaining as hopeful and positive as you can. I think this show will make sense when we finally see the whole thing laid out. We need a little something every week to help us as a fandom. This slow mystery isn't really working on a week to week pace. There haven't been enough reveals or explanations and the internet can't wait. This might have been better dropped every couple of days or all at once rather than this slow pacing.

Just did my reaction! ahhhh gotta wait a whole week now!!

I think that maybe the “dark side user or sith” was living on Brendok and was already plotting against the Jedi and suddenly the Mae/osha situation happened. he probably found mae and thought he could use what happened to her to start his mission against the Jedi. He probably didnt reveal himself to her because he maybe sensed that she wasn’t fully committed to him.

Yeah I think it’s understandable Mae cared more about her sister then anybody and as we saw Mae thought osha was dead also so maybe the sith made her believe she needed to kill the 4 Jedi to get revenge for her sister , but her sister being alive changes her whole perspective, side note would be dope if this sith we just seen is really just the apprentice haha would be a dope reveal

Yeah, it’s ok. Not the greatest, but I still enjoy it. Anyway, the Mae turn here seemed a little abrupt, but let’s see how it develops. Maybe it’s just the lighting and such, but Darth Venom seems like a physically smallish person, so, hmmm.

I think Mae is pretending to be leaving the Dark Side in a plan to overthrow her own master.

Did you get the tickets for Deadpool & Wolverine? Extremely Hyped for that movie.

There may not have been a lot happening to move the plot forward, but there were a lot of interesting moments and bits of dialogue that give us some clues and get us wondering. The whole conversation Qimir and Mae are having. When Sol tells Osha that he will explain everything later. Osha beginning to feel a connection to the Force again. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series.

I think this is the kind of show that will be much better to binge-watch. I'm still holding on to my two theories that Qimir will be the stranger, but the twist will be that he's actually Plagueis using a Force mask. Alternatively, the stranger could be Mother Koril, who, like Darth Traya, is tired of being interfered with by the Jedi, the Sith, or Force users in general. She might seek revenge for whatever happened with her coven and now wants to destroy the Force itself, just like Darth Traya did. She may also have ties to Abeloth and i only think that because of the mask and if they some how want to tie it back to Ahsoka some how but idk. I also wonder if we will see some nameless in this or even go to planet x not sure. Will be interesting to see what happens next.

No it's Mundy himself that's a problem he in Phantom Menance stated Sith have not been around for 1,000 years

Respect 💖

Everyone was excited to see a Jedi Wookiee in action, whether they like or dislike this show, and then they just kill him off screen..

i feel like it's the helmet itself with power if it's the dude helping Mae.

you are the best. most other reactions seem fake. the Wookie is dead lol

The witches say that the Thread is not to be weilded. Apparently it also applied to the lightsaber - so far it's been used for show (posturing,. shall we say), as a flashight and now a bug zapper but not a weapon.

Okay show, a solid C+ for me.

Unfortunately this isn’t Ki Adi Mundi’s great grandfather, this is Ki Adi Mundi himself. Normally he wouldn’t be alive in this era, but Disney decided to add him to the series anyway. Im not sure why they continue to change well known lore in Star Wars.

B- through the first three episodes for me, and probably back to a straight B after this one. I thought this was the strongest episode so far, and nothing particularly significant happened until the last 3 minutes. Biggest disappointment is the lack of time they've spent diving into Sith lore, which felt like part of the pitch for the show to me. I also don't think they've given the series' protagonists nearly enough to do so far. Jecki, Osha, and Sol need WAYYY more screentime and story beats.

I mean, Mae has been/is going down the dark side path. It wouldn't be outside the realm of possibility for her to have realized that Qimir is definitely lying to her about his whole deal and then lie right back to him to see what he might do. Which isn't me saying he is whoever ignited that red blade. Because that's a bit to obvious to be true I think. I also don't even think that whoever it is is the actual Master. Simply the apprentice.

3:13 I have a different take on this, though I have to admit I know nothing about Darth Plagueis' master, so the following opinion is made without that knowledge. I agree with the connection last week's episode made with Osha and Mae's coven and the Dark side of the Force--the episode used the exact words Chancellor Palpatine did when he was explaining the Dark Side of the Force to Anakin, "Dark" and "Unnatural." Mother Koril seemed to be confirming that their coven was indeed using the Dark Side of the Force when she voiced her concerns about the Jedi learning how Osha and Mae came to be. Star Wars, IMO, has always connected witchcraft in Star Wars to the Dark Side of the Force, with the possible exception of Dathmoir's Mount Clan Witches who had an obvious aversion to the Nightsisters. Darth Sidious and Tyranus kept going back to Dathomir for apprentices, probably because people attuned to the Dark Side of the Force don't need to be convinced to join their cause. We also shouldn't overlook the fact that Palpatine's design has always made him look like a warlock. His decrepit appearance, robe, hood, cackle, and walking stick scream warlock--the man shoots lighting from his fingertips like a witch/warlock casting spells; they use a lot of hands and fingers! Star Wars Rebels went out of their way to show us Palpatine using what looked like a witch's cauldron when he found Ezra in the World Between Worlds! With the Jedi hoarding all known knowledge of the Force and locking it behind lock and key on Coruscant in the Jedi Temple, the Sith weren't exactly in the position to choose how they acquired Force knowledge. The fact that witchcraft has an affinity to the Dark Side was just an added bonus. Personally, I think last week's episode coupled with what we learned from The Bad Batch and the prequels, is trying to tell us how Darth Plagueis learned how to manipulate the Force to create life, though I don't think that's how he planned to use it. Giving Shmi a child just because doesn't sound like a Sith thing to do, you know? What was Palpatine's aim in the prequel? I don't think it was just revenge for the Sith, that was a bonus. Palpatine wanted the knowledge the Jedi hid from the galaxy. Palpatine screwed up and he needed to fix it! I believe he killed his master before learning how to escape death. Palpatine is an old man who has already lived half of his life, and I think he wants to do what his master never had the chance to do, which is to transfer his essence into a vessel of Force. Anakin wasn't supposed to develop into the person he became, he was Plagueis' new lease on life, a new and more powerful skin. With Plagueis' secrets lost to Palpatine, he had no choice but to ad-hock his way to everlasting life with Kamino's cloning technology, but as we have seen in several stories now, it isn't impossible to create a vessel of the Force with the midichlorian count Palpatine desires, but cloning is all he's got. He's got to try. I mean, his lease on life was coming to an end. The best his team of cloners were able to do was create that decaying vessel dependent on the life support system it we saw in The Rise of Skywalker. Speaking of the Rise of Skywalker, I think we're missing a story, one that Dave Filoni might add to. Somewhere along the way, it would appear that Palpatine did manage to replicate Plagueis' technique! But something happened: the host fled and spirited the child away before Palpatine could transfer his essence into her unborn child. Rey's flashbacks show that someone (bounty hunter?) caught up with her parents, but they failed as Rey escaped, though her family did not, which explains why she saw nobody; her family died before she could bond with them. I think Rey is Anakin 2.0, not the child of a clone, but a child created the exact same way Anakin was and for the exact same purpose. Someone/something (the Force) got in the way of the Dark Lord's plans, allowing the child to grow into her own person, like Anakin before her. I don't think that vision Rey saw of herself with a red lightsaber was her, but Palpatine in his new skin, a possible future; the future that could have been had she accepted Palpatine's offer. Had she accepted his offer, I think he would have transferred his essence into her, not his power. I think he hoped to do the same with Ben earlier, but Ben couldn't let go of the Light Side of the Force and that kept Palpatine at bay all these years. Anyway, this is what I've been thinking about since the end of last week's episode. Now I want to know who's Mae's master. Is Qimir the master, playing the bumbling sidekick in the same way Palpatine did when Obi-Wan and Anakin were saving him from Grievous or is Mae and Qimir's master actually on Khofar with them? I cannot wait to see next week's episode! What a shock it was to see Ki-Adi-Mundi in this episode! Especially since it was he who told us that the Sith hadn't been seen for millennia in The Phantom Menace. He appeared to believe his words, while Mace and Yoda looked at each other as though was was said wasn't exactly true. Oh! Did this episode also give us Plo Koon too?!

The jedi all had there light sabers lt - then they get hit with a massive Force push - anyone taking bets that next episode none of them are injured? No accidentally cut off limbs? No burns? No cuts?

There's a lord and apprentice and the acolyte is the apprentice to the apprentice so if its qimir, hes only the apprentice to the lord

It’s funny you said it’s Darth Venom bc his name is Darth Venomous in the EU. He was Tenebrous’ other apprentice before Plagus

He is the Sith

Ive been watching this show and ive enjoyed it so far. Its not the greatest Star Wars content ever but it's definitely not gonna "DESTROY" Star Wars. Is Star Wars that weak in pop culture it can be so easily destroyed? This show should have been released all at once. Thats my complaint. Also, if i enjoy something no amount of KZfaq influencers are gonna change that, not sorry to those who choose the hate train.

What happened in this episode? Giant roly-polies.

Today is the moment of truth. I really hope it isn’t qimir or if it is him, hopefully it somehow connects to a sith we may know is around during that time. It could be possible the witches were working with Darth tenebrous.

First, Lord Yord will never get old! 😂 Soooo last week I almost commented but felt like I had nothing really positive to add as far as the overall episode, the writing, the acting, set design... you name it I just wasn't really feeling it. This week is almost similar but with added bonus of this episode feeling like it's the second 1/2 or the 1/3 act of episode 3. Which could've been edited down, with a few scenes removed and just made episode 3 longer. I still believe they should've dropped all 8 episodes. Here's the main issue for me. This show feels like a pitch for an idea for a Star Wars show that's not complete and is still in its rough draft. Or an idea for a movie. The editing and abrupt endings in these episodes are weird. I saw a short video on KZfaq with Leslie Headland (who's extremely talented) talk about her pitch to Kathleen Kennedy for the show. She had an idea for a time period that would allow her to tell a new story, giving her the freedom to tell that story with a "nuanced" perspective for the jedi. That pitch sounds cool, but your script better be tight and also work within that lore. Also, with a Disney budget and risks you're taking with a show like this, the set design also needs to match that ambition and not look like a cosplay contest at a comic con convention. I remember listening to Tony Gilroy on Marc Maron's WTF Podcast talk about his process and preparation in making Andor. Mainly the homework he did before writing it. Combining not only Star Wars lore but also world history and the various revolutions and uprisings in our history. He emphasized wanting to get it right and making it make sense on a grounded level. This show almost feels like, out of a bag of different/ bad Star Wars pitches, that included Zack Snyder's Rebel Moon, Headland's Acolyte got picked like Star Wars roulette/ bingo. Why do I find myself just rambling and asking the question WHY? after these episodes 😂😂, not a good sign Disney+ This show isn't terrible. I think there are Star Wars shows that have been worse or on par. Like I said at the beginning, there's an idea for a show here that feels like it still needs to be worked out or at the very least edited down to make possibly 3-4 solid episodes or maybe even a movie. I am interested to see where we are headed for the second half of this series now that our dark force antagonist has floated in, I'm Mary Poppins Y'all! At this point in the story, there's no excuse for the pacing to not pickup. PS... Master Sol continues to be what I most look forward to watching! Here's that Leslye Headland pitch short vid. kzfaq.info3ZFlDvfEWZo?si=mAWvxRne2mMeUOkR

This serious has me up and down. Near the end of this episode i was all ready to wait until the end of the season and then catch up, but the appearance of the sith lord (Qimir?) pretty much ensured I'll be tuning in at 9 next Tuesday 🫣

NO SITH!!!! I was looking forward to more Carrie-Ann Moss and KIlnacca. My problem is I've seen the interviews and I have nothing to lead me to the conclusion that we'll have an ending where we won't be saying "WTF did I just watch."

They got more than Kenobi. And we're not even getting 45 minute episodes. House of the Dragon Season 2 - also 8 episodes - also costing @ $ 20,000,000.00 per episode - average episode run time about an hour - and looks a hell of a lot better than Acolyte. Where did all the Disney money go????? There are supposedly receipts that show they paid $ 50,000,000 on luxury hotels and food alone.

I'm still l👀king 4 Yada

I´m enjoying this show for all the wrong reasons, the power of maaaannyyyyyyy lmfao

I wonder do you watch new rockstars easter egg and explanation of these show you should check him out in these

Qimir is Mae’s masked master

So, Ki Adi Mundi knew that the Dark Side was in action 80 years ago and that many Jedi Masters died and he lied in the counsil, so Qui Gon Jinn ran into a trap and died and could not train Anakin, so Ki Adi is to blame for all what happend? So the revenge of the force was to end Ki Adi through Oder 66 because he is to blame in the end for his death,too... So, Darth Jar Jar is a lie but it was Darth Mundi all along🤣😂😃 Qimir is the guy under the mask maybe ( it was a hand of a man). But no matter who is under the mask, this Drak Side user is the REAL Acolyte and serves a secret Sith Lord. And a witch is 100% involved because in the trailer we see witches and Kelnacca with black eyes. A witch must have taken control but it must not be the Acolyte or a Sith. Maybe the same witch made a deal with the Sith Lord, too ? Maybe he helped in creating the twins and Mother Koral had to serve him? My funny theories. Greetings from Germany❤

I'm feeling pretty much the same way you are about this show atm - not enough to get excited but willing to see out the season before judging its overall impact. This, for me, was the weakest episode so far because it was pure filler - just a journey ep that ended in a scene already partially-shown in the trailer (and a disappointingly premature death of a much-hyped character). Going to need a ramping up in quality in the second half of this season to make it worth the budget. Thanks for being honest with your opinions!

Why did I forget that Joss Whedon did lesbian witches first and better? And maybe it was better because it was so restrained (getting it past the censors) and not so blatant.

Shits getting real now 🔥🔥 who else thinks that supply runner dude is the master? He definitely was extra sus this episode

Don't sweat it in the trailers there is an image clearly a flashback of The Wookie Jedi lunging with his lightsaber fully ignited at master Torvin that is most probably how he got the scar on his face . I believe the final reveal is going to be that it is OSHA who started the fire, not Mae and that Master Sol use avJedi mind trick to wipe her memory to ease her trauma. I believe that the witches refuse to turn over OSHA and they decided to use Force to take her and the witches use their powers to possess the Jedi to attack one another and something went down and all hell broke loose! Remember when you were young and first saw Star Wars, I do it was the first movie I was able to see as a kid on my own when movies cost $3 in 1977 and I spent my allowance again and again going to watch Star Wars. I remember seeing the commercial on television and seeing that lightsaber ignited in Obi-Wan's Hut and that is where my love is Star Wars began and although nobody in Star Wars looked like me I was still able to enjoy it but when I did finally see Master Windu I saw representation that I hadn't seen until then,so today you can have Asians, gay people and young African-American girls seeing themselves in Star Wars and relate to characters the same way you did and so many others who saw themselves in Luke. And they will form a love of Star Wars as you did as a child. This is clearly not the best Star Wars up until this point anyway but it's also not the worst and it doesn't destroy Star Wars or ruin it because of Kathleen Kennedy and quote feminism .I'm looking forward to the lightsaber duel that's coming up cuz a bunch of those red shirts those Jedi we've never seen before they're going bye-bye! So I like you will reserve my judgment until the series is over. But I can say definitively this doesn't ruin in any shape or form my love of Star Wars. When I go back and look at the original series I can be critical of the special effects clearly seeing that these are models in the let's face it poor quality or let's say Limited lightsaber fights, I don't let Nostalgia blind me to all of the flaws in the original series, that once again I still enjoy, but there are others who prefer the prequels that a lot of people also ragged on and believe it or not everybody does not hate the last trilogy there's some people who actually prefer that it all depends on your subjective point of view and what time in life you became a Star Wars fan, because again the Star Wars fan base is incredibly diverse and the only thing that all Star Wars fans have in common is complaining about something in Star Wars !!Yet when I see the word woke or soy boy or Disney shill, or they use the words token white man, or freaking out and about them using pronouns ,I generally can tell what the racial makeup ,the sex and the sexual orientation and political leanings of that particular individual are. That's not to say that every criticism or everybody who doesn't like this is somehow a bigot, but the vast majority of haters are let's shall we say from a particular demographic! So I'm glad that you have an open mind, and are willing to give the show a chance. If the next four episodes are bangers then we can look back at this and simply say the first four or Slow Burn to lay the grounds of the mystery, fingers crossed that'll be the case!

It’s ok to just say this is hot garbage 😂. Canon and lore busting at its best. Sadly. Love the channel!

My wife is my wowtometer, she was out on the first episode, thats when I know there is nothing interesting in. I really wish they have a better history.

Everything we've seen is a red herring. When the mask comes off it's Kilnacca. "When you've elimated all which is possibile. then whatever remains, however improbable, is the truth." He was faking, It was his twin brother. The shortness of the sith was an illusion done with the sole purpose of keeping us from guessing who it was. I have no faith in Leslye Headland's writing skills, directing skills or "logical" thought processes.

I think we may have just gotten an explanation for why the Jedi thought the Sith has been extinct for so long during the prequel era. In this episode, while discussing who Mae is work with, they don't even consider the Sith. Maybe they end up fighting a sith without being aware that it's ansotht, coming away assuming it is just some random dark side user.

ACCORDING TO KI-ADI-MUNDI, "THE SITH ARE EXTINCT, THEY HAVE BEEN FOR A MILLENNIUM" PLUS KI WASN'T BORN YET ACCORDING TO LORE. THEY CONTINUE TO REWRITE CANON 🤔

The show is good..I'm baffled about how this "ruins" Anakin..but the story isn't finished telling it's point yet😅

Yap, looks like cheap for some reason...

We are not seeing Yoda i dont want him in this crap

Hate how Disney keeps breaking up the stories into unnecessary short episodes. Give us longer episodes. These short episodes gives the viewer more time to notice how absolutely awful the writing and directing is. Even Days of our Lives has better writing. It's impressive how this show keeps getting worse each episode.
