You and your Dad have such a positive vibe about Star Wars in general. Much needed in time where there is so much toxicity! 👏

I came for the Star Wars talk, but I stayed for Major Dad saying 'hawk tuah'.

Something that should be said is even though Ki-Adi-Mundi dismissed Qui-Gon's fight with Maul and Qui-Gon tells the High Council "I believe it was a Sith warrior", Ki-Adi-Mundi says "nope. don't believe you. they haven't been around for a thousand years." That does NOT mean in canon that the Sith haven't been around for a thousand years. In that same movie at the end Yoda says "ALWAYS two there are...". Last time I checked the definition of ALWAYS it is defined as "at all times". There have always been Sith they have simply been in the shadows. Ki-Adi-Mundi being in The Acolyte reinforces the canon because just like he dismissed Qui-Gon's experience, he did the same to Sol 100 years prior by dismissing Sol's belief that Mae doesn't know her master, he also dismisses that Mae was trained by "something darker" than a splinter group. Ki-Adi-Mundi is in Star Wars as THE poster boy for the arrogance of the Jedi not wanting to believe the Sith are around.

He didn't say "I'm a Sith". He said "The Jedi would call me a Sith" . That's very different. He's a nameless untitled darksider who wants to follow a Sith path , but Darth Tenebrous or whoever the current hidden master hasn't been uncovered. He did demonstrate how to kill a Jedi without a weapon though. Sol isn't going back to the order, I guarantee that.

Major Dad is right on the money about being easy to please when it comes to Star Wars. I absolutely love everything Lucas and Disney has made! You guys are the best Star Wars react duo

"The material is called cortosis. It's very rare- I've heard stories about it, but never seen any. It's rumored to have unusually high energy absorption and transmission coefficients, to the point where many energy weapon blasts will be dissipated along the fibers without damaging the fibers themselves." ―Mitth'raw'nuruodo[2] (It's from Thrawn's Legends books and Doctor Aphra's comics)

So many are taking 'Qimir's' words to be an admission of being a Sith, but what he actually says is that he has no name and that it's the JEDI who would label him a Sith. Think that might be an important distinction. Thought the fight choreography was refreshing and brutal, and though I'm sad to have lost Jecki and Yord, at least their deaths were memorable!

Me, last episode: I'm really enjoying this show, especially Jecki and Yord, they are my favorite new characters. Me, after this episode: 😢

You're one of the few channels that keep reacting to this show always with positivity and so much joy. I love that and respect it. Keep it up! 🙌

People keep saying nobody knows about the Sith, but at the end of Phantom Menace Yoda and Mace clearly were aware of them. How would they know there is always a master and apprentice unless the Jedi (even if only the Grand Masters) were privy to this knowledge. The original rule of two concept was in effect when Phantom Menace came out and the rule of two wasn't devised by Darth Bane until after the Jedi-Sith war concluded and the Sith thought wiped out. Some Jedi had to have encountered a Sith duo at some point in those thousand years and reported it for Yoda to be aware of the rule of two. If the Jedi are aware of the prophecy, then they should know that at the end of a thousand years the Sith would return. Implying they are still around in hiding even if they never encountered one.

He is the best Sith ever created in Star Wars. Simply put. Better aesthetics, better combat skills, more imposing (with that toothy mask...). Overall, he generates an intense sense of danger. Honestly, if you compare him one-on-one with the ones we know: Dooku, Palpatine, Kylo, or even Maul... this one is better. I would say he's only comparable to Darth Anakin/Vader from Rogue One.

The Jedi of this era are no strangers to lying and deception. Sol kept Maes existence from the Order. Master Vernestra wants to keep this investigation a secret. So it is absolutely possible that Ki-Adi-Mundi either lied in Episode I or he never learned that a Sith was involved in these killings.

Major Dads speach at the beginning needs to be heard by a lot more people, especially the once going around trying to ruin the fun for everyone

RIP Jecki and Yord! I knew the Red Shirts were doomed, but I didn't see them going! Cortosis is a metal that shorts out lightsabers. First time seeing it in live action.

Major Dad saying "hawk tuah" was more traumatic than Yord and Jecki's deaths

my theory has been that the twins will switch sides and i think that is what they are doing.

MAJOR DAAAAADD!! 🫡

Apparently the stranger's/master's/Qimir's helmet and brace/band around his left arm is made of a very rare material that is called cortosis. It can deflect blaster fire, stun rings, and lightsaber strikes, and can temporarily negate/short out lightsabers if it touches/hits the emitter of the lightsaber blade. However, it is fibrous and much more brittle compared to Beskar armor, because with repeated strikes, a lightsaber can still cut through it 🤔.

I love me some non-toxic Star Wars channels (I mean watching with your dad is pretty wholesome anyways) 10/10 episode.

Yeah, I don't get how peeps keep saying this breaks lore when the lore is that Sith have always been around. We have a long lineage of masters and apprentices from Palpatine on back. That said, I don't think Qimir is actually a Sith Lord. He has no name and used force heal on someone else.

Never said he was a sith but Jedi might call him a sith but he’s a REN and probably the first knight of REN

Goodness, Major Dad!

I’ve loved watching everyone’s reactions, my favorite recurring one might be, “oh, there’s jecki”

Great fights, but I am going to miss Jecki and Yord. I can't wait to see what happens next week.

"I have no name" suggests that he is an apprentice but hasn't earned his Sith title yet

Glad you are feeling better!

I cant believe Jecki is played by that one girl from Logan. Shes great

Amazing reaction, gentlemen! Now that was some brutal lightsaber/hand to hand action!

cool reaction! The Acolyte is a really cool show. Just two things. He didn't say he was a Sith, he said the Jedi would call him a Sith. Also, not sure Sol would be able to tell. Remember how long the Jedi didn't notice Palpatine. Also, I'm sure Sol has just a few other things in his mind 😅

i was so stoked watching Jeckie fight. I was like serious Ahsoka vibes, then Smilo turned her into swiss cheese. I was so upset at that moment. But damn them fight scenes were epic.

Still heartbroken forJecki.

Jecki just seemed like such lost potential. She gave me Obi Wan padawan vibes as she brought the smoke to the Stranger.

That opening duel is how the Jedi vs. the Senate duel should’ve gone.

Acolite episode 5 is the best star wars thing I have ever seen. These fights and choreography surpassed both the Phantom Menace movie and the clone wars episode.

Sol can 100% report that he encountered a Sith to the Jedi. They just can't believe him. Everybody loves to bring up that scene from the Phantom Menace and Ki-Adi-Mundi's line but most people forget what is happening in the scene. Qui-Gon has just reported that he thinks he's encountered a Sith and the entire Jedi Council refuses to believe him. They refuse to believe that the Sith could still be active without them knowing. George Lucas is trying to show the arrogance and failings of the Jedi.

Brutal

@Kat&Sonny, 23:43 I think Sol does know that he's with Mae--he spent the entire series up to this point calling Osha by name, Mae too, so why did he drop the names when he turned to Mae to ask, "Where's your sister?" I think Sol chose his words carefully. He and the others went to Khofar to extract Mae, so why jeopardize that by calling her out on her bluff? Get her on the ship so she can't run, again! "You're with me, I'm with you Always one, but born as two As above sits the stars, and below lies the sea, I give you you, and you give me me." --Mae & Osha's mantra They are two sides of the same coin. One represents the Light Side of the Force while the other the Dark Side. Their Mothers Aniseya and Koril hoped they would learn to work together, presumably to balance each other out. The Thread quite literally binds them together, much stronger than Luke and Leia's connection in the Force. Mae going with Sol and Osha being taken by Qimir will likely do what their mothers wanted, as they're going to learn things that'll fill their respective voids, giving them balance. Mae sees herself as the hero here. Why? We need to see the other side of what happened 16 years ago. I think we're going to learn that Qimir was there. One of the witches told the coven that the Jedi had sliced through their platform just before they walked into court without weapons in hand. Was the witch mistaken? Why did Mother Koril really get the girls out of the forest? It was implied that she was worried about the Jedi, but are the Jedi who she really feared? I think Mother Koril and Aniseya knew that they weren't the only ones on Brendok. The witches' coven and Sith more than likely formed a pact; they were both on the run, and they both wanted the same things. More importantly, Star Wars has already established that witches and Sith have a history of working together. Darth Sidious and Darth Tyranus both went to the Nightsisters looking for apprentices. Personally, I think Sith are witches. Palpatines whole look screams witch/warlock! His decrepit look, bony fingers, and sickly eyes gave off witch vibes way back in ROTJ--he shoots Force-lightning from his fingertips like a witch casting a spell! Star Wars Rebels went out of its way to show Palpatine standing before a galaxy far, far away witch's cauldron--watch the scene where he finds Ezra in the World Between Worlds. The Sith are witches! I don't know if Qimir is the same type of witch Mother Aniseya and Koril were, but they are a witch of some sort. We also can't overlook the fact that this series tied this coven to Darth Plagueis via Mae and Osha's creation, but also mother Aniseya's explanation of the thread and Chancellor Palpatine's description of the Sith--the exact same words were used. That wasn't coincidental! I wouldn't be surprised if next week's episode is that much needed flashback that shows us Kelnacca fighting someone and the yet to be seen footage of Indara in a cockpit or something of the like? The episode after that will likely be the one teased with Vernestra igniting her lightwhip or whatever it's called. I can't wait to see how they wrap this up!

He did not say he was Sith but the Jedi would consider him Sith. He seems to consider himself his own thing.

When he mentioned Sith, he did say "might call". As K-2SO would say, "I find that answer vague and unconvincing" 😉

Many thanks to Sonny and Major Dad! 🌑 It's great to see the energy absorption metal *cortosis* brought into live-action.

It's great to see people enjoying Star Wars with trashtalking because it's Disney. I think The Acolyte is a missed opportunity about the High Republic, but still not a bad show, even if it's the weakest Star Wars live action show imo. Thanks for the positive !

Qimir's is probably an apprentice of Sith Lord Darth Tenebrous before the apprenticeship of Darth Plagueis; who was the master of Darth Sidious.

That was an episode! The fight scenes alone redeem the show for me. I'm enjoying the heck out of it. Kind of surprised it's getting so much hate.

There's also another way the Jedi would not learn about the existence of the Sith. Master Sol joining the Dark Side. He'd be a valuable asset to "Qimir", and seeing how fast he unleashed his darkness this episode (granted, he just witnessed his Padawan's and Yord's death, but still) it doesn't seem like a far-fetched idea.

Did you pay attention to the music at the end where the master goes to osha and takes her away - we've heard it before

Nice

I will never understand Star Wars fans questioning why Sol didn't kill Qimir. He's a Jedi and they don't kill the unarmed. "That leads to the darkside of the force" This has been in lore since the beginning.

Thanks for your show appreciate it.

I cant believe pop's just said "Hawk-Tua". LOL

Best episode so far

Hey Sonny and Major Dad!! What a great episode!!! I am truly liking this series and it is getting better as it goes. Still needing more answers. Looking forward to the last half of the show!!😊

18:21 He didn't actually say he was Sith. He said "I have no name..but you might call me Sith". I have a feeling that subtle distinction will be central to how they tie the canon back together.

Is anybody else thinking that the Sith will be exposed by the end of the series but the lower level Jedi will cover it up from the Jedi High council and the Republic, for political reasons.

The Stranger is not a Sith... yet But he clearly aspires to become one. Hence his search for an Acolyte/Apprentice

I’m guesssing all will die except for one of the twins who will continue the sith legacy.

Ki-Adi-Mundi could also have simply meant the actual Sith SPECIES hadn't been seen for 1000 years.

There’s still some scenes from the trailer of young kelnacca and Indara, so more flashbacks to come for sure.

I love that Qimir can sense the darkness in her. Qimir also said “a Jedi LIKE YOU MIGHT call me.... a sith” he didn’t say he WAS a sith. He’s saying the only thing the Jedi know is if you’re not light side you’re Sith... but the witches proved the Jedi wrong. . But the Jedi simply CANNOT be wrong .... but the POINT of the Jedi is that they ARE wrong. They preach no attachment no darkness you must fight this way ect ect ect. The entire POINT of this show is that the Jedi ARE A CULT. They kidnap children. They take them into extremely dangerous situations.... I don’t know when fans are going to FINALLY realize the Jedi ARE THE BAD GUYS. ugh. fandoms are as toxic as the Jedi. They are made for each other. Awesome reaction gentleman ♥️

Quimir is not a Sith, that was misdirection, I believe that he was trained by a surviving witch. He is what I imagine it would look like, if you took a psychopath, and trained him in the Jedi arts.

New Rock Stars said that this had the same fight choreographer as Shang Chi.

hawk tuah lol

@KatSonny on episode 3 there’s a theory during the ceremony behind the mother witches there is a mysterious sith figure in black robes not showing his face at all could be plagues or his master or smilo ren in robes

Thank you Major Dad for the haka tuah! It took me out instantly...

He did not say "I am a Sith". He said "Jedi like you might call me... Sith".

Intense episode. In order to maintain canon they all did have to die.

The action was really well done. And seeing cortosis in live action was pretty cool.

Only Star Wars reaction I'm able to enjoy and have fun with. Thanks, Sonny and Major Dad! Keep up the great work as always! Love ya!

he doesn’t say he’s sith. he says the jedi would call him sith, but he has no name

Really interested to see where they take the next three(???) episodes after this now that it's just Sol, Osha, Mae and Qimir as the major players. I know we'll have to eventually get a flashback to see what REALLY happened on the night with the witches and the fire, just hope it doesn't take up too much time. Thought this episode was great action-wise. Really didn't understand why Mae started fighting and running away from the Jedi immediately after deciding to give herself up in the previous episode? From that to going back to saying the Jedi are the bad guys? Maybe I missed something, but I really don't get that switch up. Have to say I really did roll my eyes when Sol was interrupted from and then decided not to kill Qimir. Disney SW seems to keep coming up with ways to get the Jedi to just...give up and walk away from their fights with mass murderers it seems? Even though they've made it clear they intend to kill again?

Jedi has rules but when a jedi fight with a sith, the jedi Wil not have compassion to erradicate the dark because his enemy choose a path with no way back

Qimir didn't say he's a Sith. He said you'd call me that and that he has no name. There is a difference.

They don't have to die in order for that one line from Phantom Menace to make sense. The Jedi seem to not want their political enemies to know about this at all because it would weaken their position and people in the galaxy would lose faith in them. They could easily hide what happened in order to protect their standing.

I appreciate your Dads wisdom

Hell yes, been so excited to watch this absolute BANGER with you guys.

Don’t really buy it that canon breaks just because Sol survives. Qi-Gon Jin also warned the council about Maul and they didn’t believe him first either. Without solid evidence they will just dismiss any claims about Siths. Great reaction guys!

Now THAT was a star war.

I’m not certain Osha knows Qimir is Mae’s master.

Seriously probably the best 30-40 min of disney star wars. Luke in mando s2 is close, snoke chamber fight in tlj is close. But damn. RIP yord you kinda sucked but were ok. RIP jecki you were a real one and absolutely gave it your all. Most capable padawan since obi wan.

I'm still catching up on this series but this was one HECK of an episode. I'm sorry that Yord died so brutally but I can't believe he said this guy "doesn't follow the rules of combat". Maybe Yord was in shock from his wound but this was a wacko thing to say. Yord this dude is straight up trying to murder you...THERE ARE NO RULES OF COMBAT!!!

The fight scenes were great but the writing on this show is off. Why did Mae suddenly decide to turn herself in to Kelnacca because of her sister? But then when Jecki goes to arrest her, she fights her? Then at the end, she leaves Osha with her old master, who could kill her. Her motivations don't make sense. Had she just said I'm not killin this wookie, I'm out, that would have made more sense than claiming her sister being alive has changed everything. I'm enjoying show, but writing needs to be better.

The reaction I’ve been waiting for 😊

So Ki-Adi-Mundi saying The Sith have been Extinct for a Millennia was lying?

I originally had a pretty negative opinion of this show but I also don’t want to be a part of the toxicity that this show has brought out on both sides. I want to enjoy Star Wars and although I believe this show has some issues, I’ve decided to not take the “throw out the baby with the bath water” approach and keep going and enjoy what I do like about the show. I can say episodes 4 & 5 have been the best so far. Withholding my judgement about the potential lore breaking Sith revelation until we see how it’s resolved. I’m not convinced he’s actually a Darth titled Sith. I do have to say that the lightsaber choreography has probably been about the best in Disney era live action. I also like the EU references to cortosis, I think this is the first cannon reference at least outside of comics.

Some people have felt Maes actions are inconsistent, but I disagree. Posted on last one, coming to terms that Osha is alive so revenge/justice is no longer her primary goal. Reuniting w Osha is. So she's going to turn herself into the jedi before her master can catch and kill her. But then here comes Qimir like... No. Well now turning yourself in to the jedi is a death sentence. She knows he's there to kill them all. Her only choice is run and hide. The only fighting she does is to get away. I think she's prepared to kill to get away, like with Jecki, bc Jecki is not giving up and if she is arrested that = death. Once Jecki is distracted by Qimir, she bails. In every fight, as soon as she thinks she can get away, she runs. Bc his only objective is kill everyone here and she knows it. Then she wakes up and he's not there, but she sees Osha and Sol. Being with Osha is her ultimate objective so she knocks out Sol. Osha is not having it and is "brainwashed" and we still don't know the truth of what happened, but whatever it is she feels she can't get thru with just words. So now she's taken her place. At this point, if she wanted Sol dead she could have killed him when he was knocked out. So what's her plan... She might still kill him, as a means to an end. She knows Osha cares about him tho so that could push Osha away. It's possible she wants to find evidence/expose the jedi to show Osha proof? Maybe? Idk, but I'm super curious as to where its going.

I think the next episode will be another flashback but from Mae's point of view

It was not "Perfect Jedi" Kel Dor Master Jedi Plo Koon of Dorin that was killed in there but a female Kel Dor Jedi Knight called Ithia Paan of Dorin

i love this episode!

The metal on his helmet and bracer are made from a metal from legends, cortosis, when struck by a lightsaber it shorts them out for a short while, thats why they kept turning off.

Great reaction as always. I also think its just crazy that people actually think a Star Wars show is going to break canon, its been completely obvious from the start that there will be a cover up, or all involved will die (Ki Adi will either cover it up and lie, or my guess is they will not tell him about the Sith). As you rightly said, people need to 'relax' and just watch the whole thing before making themselves, and the people who listen to them, look foolish by the end of the show (who's the bigger fool, the fool, or the fool who follows him!). To me its like reading a book, you dont finish a chapter and say the book is rubbish because something hasnt been explained yet or doesn't seem right, you finish the whole story before judging!

I can't wait to see Kelnacca with black eyes under witch control in a flashback in Episode 7 (IMDb) fighting Torbin and Sol!❤ I think Sol will recognize Mae. She may be able to hide her mark on her forehead, but she doesn't have a tattoo on her arm like Osha🤣 Very interesting how Qimir proved that it is possible to kill a Jedi without a weapon and without Jedi rules. It's very ironic that he killed Yord, the Jedi who lived strictly by the rules! I found the Kylo Ren Theme, which played when Qimir found Osha at the end, interesting. Maybe he was the first Knight of Ren? Greetings from Germany😊

They ended on a cliff hanger then skipped over what happened. Is this everyone that is working on this project first film making project?? WTH

Multiple comments for engagement! Also to separate my thoughts bc otherwise 1 comment would be like... rudely long. General feelings: bummed about Jecki and Yord. Those fights were incredible. Give that choreographer a raise. Thoughts and theories... Was he somehow trained by one of the witches? He can do mind tricks the same way they did. Like, if he turns out to really be sith, is he actually the #2 looking for his apprentice to train and help him become the #1? Alternative to the sith, people have pointed out that twice when Qimir was doing his thing, the Kylo Ren music played. Does that mean he is an early Knight of Ren. Or maybe he is the first Ren? All we know about them is that they were around before the galactic civil war, supposedly for centuries, but idk stories of the boogie man can be weird and unreliable. But they were around. Everything else we know is from Kylo's time when a group of raiders who claimed to be them or named themselves after the legend of the knights popped out of obscurity to fill the force power void left by the fallen jedi and sith. So maybe this is Qimir Ren, who actually starts the knights... collecting the acolytes he so desperately wants. Maybe Mae and/or Osha will be his first knight(s) at the end of the series. His vibe and outlook on the force is verrrry similar the theirs. If he is the first Ren, that would mean he's not a sith, no formal training or adherence to the sith ways, but there's not yet a name for what he actually is bc he hasn't yet formed the knights. And that's why he's like... Eh I'm not this, but it's the closest you can get so that's what you'd call me if you needed a label.

"For the canon to make sense they all have to die..." Ki-Adi Mundi: "O.O... "

Woo very excitedto see the iconic duo get round to this episode, slow pacing to the series but really paid off here (: Though i think longer episodes or releasing all in one go would have been a better model i am pleased for some of the characters and actions were are getting top notch on these fronts (:

I think Sol struggles with his darkness. I think he turns by the end of the season..

I'm very much enjoying the story this show is telling. Very intriguing at this point in the show.

that was a crazy episode!!!

Great action, but the story and dialogue is still very hit or miss!! The twins are the least interesting thing in the show!! Quimir being the darth who laughs we knew when saw osha in episode 2 but he was awesome!! Them switching places, Just creates more questions!! And nothing other then knowing quimir is kill kill jedi guy we still don't know nothing!! It's dragging the story down IMO.
