She simply chokes an unarmed man who has been her friend all her life and then spends a happy time with her new friends, complete with upbeat, emotional music that's meant to make us identify with her. This show is so absurd.

She goes to brief Yoda. She either a) tells the truth and he helps cover it up, which makes him complicit or b) tells a lie, and he doesn't sense it, and is therefore a fool, presiding over a farce of corruption and darkside influence. How on earth is the audience supposed to buy that? BOTH options are catastrophic for his character.

She also blamed Sol for killing Indara, a murder that happened in front of multiple witnesses.

Yoda: "Tired of all this sh*t, I am. Overdose on deathsticks, I am going to. Forget about everything that happened, I will."

Osha: Spares the life, listens to and joins forces with who she knew only since he murdered her closest friends before her eyes 1 day ago. Also Osha: Learns that her master, rescuer and almost stepfather killed her mother 16 years ago by accident and murders him on spot without a question.

At this point Spaceballs is more Star Wars than Disney Star Wars

This show makes Solo look like The Godfather.

The fact that so many of the disney writers seem to identify more with the Sith really seems to tell you about the character of the writers of the disney era

The Acolyte is like the ‘Last Airbender Movie’ for Star Wars fans: we all agree it never existed, and if someone brings it up, we act like they’re talking about a bad dream.

What kind of moral compass does Lesley Headland even have? Osha joins Quimir (who murdered Yord and Jecki) she force chokes Sol to death when a better choice would be to hear him out, and as Mae (of all people) suggested , make him confess the truth of what happened on Brendok to the Jedi council. Also Osha and Mae "love " each other but agree to separate and essentially lobotomize Mae so Osha can go be a Sith, leaving Mae with the mind of an 8 year old and in the jedi's custody. So the twins, knowing the truth and finally reunited, instead of exploring this decide to separate again. Mae never faces consequences for the murder of Torbin and Indara (who did nothing wrong except to free Kelnacca from mind control and accidentally kill the coven). The witches themselves are never held to any accountability. Vernestra, who was Quimir's jedi master, lies about the whole thing and frames Sol for crimes he never committed. He screwed up and acted impulsively on brendok, he was not a butcher, and he did not kill the other Jedi. I hope there is a backlash to this show so Headland and the other creators can see where they went wrong.

So let me get this straight. Yoda can sense Anakin slaughtering the Tuskins and the Jedi getting wiped out in Order 66, yet couldn't sense Smilo Ren slaughtering the Jedi left and right from the very beginning? WTF is this? And to add insult to injury, Vernestra and The Jedi covered up all evidence while Sol died like a chump and then they blamed him for all the deaths that was caused by Smilo Ren? Unbelievable. This entire show went from stupid to disgustingly insulting, its mind boggling.

How the fuck did he get accused of Torbin's death when he was with the group that found his body. He didnt even sneak off with Osha and get there before everyone. WTF!

Well, it looks like the acolyte broke Thor's spirit, and it's not hard to see why...

So many online now think it was so 'cool' when Osha's Lightsaber blade changed color when she apparently (and seemingly unconsciously) bled the Kyber crystal. Anakin chops off Mace Windu's hand, leads a battalion of troops into the Jedi Temple to kill everyone, personally kills a bunch of Younglings, Force Chokes Padme and has a long fight with Obi Wan, all the time, his lightsaber remains blue. Osha force chokes her former master and immediately she bleeds it and it becomes red. This is typically stupid effects to get the easily excited and mentally dull viewers excited without any thought to continuity to other events. If the 'Chosen One' couldn't quickly turn a Kyber Crystal red unconsciously, why would Osha be able to? Because she (and Mae) are a Vergence in the Force? Anakin was as well. Continuity, Lucasfilm, continuity!

I like how Mae forgets to say that her mother started to turn into a ghost thing and turn her into a ghost thing too. This caused Sol to kill her mother to save Mae...

This show is the most nonsensical thing I have seen in a long time. It’s baffling how the script got approved.

I really don’t know what I’m meant to take away from this show. Osha flips sides, becomes evil, joins her friends murderer and holds his hand at the end while swelling music plays. Am I meant to feel she’s the hero, am I meant to identify with the protagonist here? Genuinely, fuck this show. They made the Jedi evil, murderers, people who cover up crimes, framed as a crazy cult. They made Yoda complicit to, I mean wow. And on top of it just being bad, it’s boring, they wasted minutes of screen time just showing Sol walk around yelling “Mae!”, like why do we need to see this, we’re already limited on time. This show will not get a season 2 unless Disney likes to just set money on fire. I think I just need to stop watching Disney Star Wars, because even though it’s not canon to me, it’s still ruining some things for me. The audacity of Headland to insert so many of her crazy ideas like this is kind of angering, to make these “twins” the first to do all these things, to break Lucas canon to the extent she has, man it’s painful.

I'm sorry, every time I hear the name Osha, I keep thinking "Occupational Safety and Health Administration". I don't think Star Wars. I remember when Lucasfilm was making "Return of the Jedi". The original title was going to be "Revenge of the Jedi", but George felt that revenge was not in line with what a Jedi was supposed to be about. Thus, it was renamed to "Return of The Jedi". When that announcement came out, I remember my 15 year old self was thinking that make perfect sense. This - this just doesn't seem to make sense.

The last thing I wanted the show to do was drag Sol's reputation through the mud, but they dragged it through No Man's Land. Probably the most compassionate Jedi the order has had for decades, he gets pinned for murdering his best friend, a defenseless meditating man, a wookie, and 6 other jedi including his own padawan. And now the history books of Star Wars will forever shit on the name Sol without knowing the truth

No actual Jedi were harmed in the production of this show.

Dark Helmet described the Jedi, "Evil will triumph because good is stupid. "

All it took in The Phantom Menace was for Qui Gon to say his adversary was trained in the Jedi arts and to SUGGEST that it might be a Sith Lord for the Council to take the possibility of a Sith return seriously and task him with rooting out Maul. At that point in the movie, no Jedi were even harmed. In the Acolyte we have the same scenario where the Council, albeit a lower council, very clearly say this assailant must have been trained in the Jedi arts but nobody seems to want to finish that thought to the conclusion of it being a Sith, and there were already two bodies. Now with them all gone, apparently that's call for a complete coverup to allow for the rise of the Sith and the downfall of their Order in a hundred years. And yes, this now means Ki Adi Mundi is a slimy weasel who was complicit in all of this, and attempted to downplay the severity of the presence of Darth Maul in The Phantom Menace. This is not even the worst part - for now the only person who cared about the droid attack on the Wookies turns out to be a traitor to the Order

On Twitter, cat moms and h*rny teenagers are already going crazy about how wonderful The Acolyte is... This is what Star Wars has become - fan fic smut... I'm sad that beautiful years of canon being built have been reduced to a cheap romance😢.

This show set out to make the audience question the Jedi Order and left the audience questioning the IQ level of everyone behind this show

I was waiting for Spock to beam in and start slapping everyone while saying “This is completely illogical.”

I genuinely cannot believe that we are supposed to root for the main character to join the bad guys. What has Star Wars become?

It is genuinely depressing how George Lucas’ philosophy of how the Jedi and the space opera/western feel is essentially dead and destroyed. He was right when he said the fictional space lacked simple heroism. Everything today has to be “gritty” “realistic” but no longer fantastical. I’m not even angry about this just sad because the dialogue about this show will be for the wrong reasons.

When they thought that a former Jedi padawan killed a Jedi Master, Vernestra thought it needed to be covered up because it will look bad on the Jedi… So her cover story is that a Jedi Master killed a dozen Jedi… wait, how is that better?

at the end of the show when the green Jedi lies about sol killing everyone - the first Jedi that got killed by Mae was in a CROWDED BAR WITH AT LEAST 40 WITNESSES. The bar tender identified osha for the Jedi 😭

The whole thing seems like Headland once had a therapist who had her do one of those therapy writing exercises to work through certain feelings of guilt, and it somehow got used as the basis for a show. "The bad guys aren't evil, the good guys are!"

Didn’t watch a single episode. Just can’t.

Star Wars didn’t die, it was murdered. Murdered by a combination of malice, incompetence and investor money from less than moral individuals. Me and my father have loved this franchise for so long, it was the only thing that we both enjoyed, a piece of connective tissue between father and son. Something George wanted from his films. That love is gone now, destroyed violently, to the point that neither of us care anymore. That connection torn to shreds by people who couldn’t care less. They look down at us, they call us bigots and all manner of names, when all me and my father wanted was a story that we could enjoy and connect with. Thank you Thor for all that you do, but I don’t know if I can continue to watch anything Star Wars related. The apathy has passed setting in, I just don’t care anymore and if I try to all I find is pain. Once again, thank you for being a beacon of common sense in the Star Wars community, I hope that one day we can all enjoy Star Wars once more.

Twitter: OMG Osha and Qmir are holding hands and staring off into the sunset! So romantic yessss! 😢❤ Qmir: I murdered innocent people. 💀 Leslie Headlan: I murdered Star Wars. 😊

@9:35 Didn't the Jedi already have proof of the vergance from the blood sample and M-count reading they got from the flashback? That data would have showed the "twins" being basically identical in every way. Why does Sol need Mae as proof? Vernestra was even aware of Mae but thought she was dead so its not like the fact that Osha had a sister that died was hidden from anyone. I really don't understand Sol's motive for needing Mae.

Hey Thor! I thought you might like something I calculated. Rotten Tomatoes’ rating for Star Wars series, calculated by Critic’s score + Audience score divided by two: From top to lowest rating: Star Wars: The Clone Wars series: 92% Andor: 91.5% Star Wars: Rebels: 91% The Bad Batch: 86% The Mandalorian: 84% Ahsoka: 75% Kenobi: 71.5% Star Wars: Resistance: 68.5% The Book of Boba Fett: 57.5% The Acolyte: 48%

Darth Plagueis definitely watched Osha and Qimir mess around-

My disbelieve was suspended too much in this one... The Osha-Mea thing still does not work at all. They killed one of the 3 good characters and had him act like a lobotomite AGAIN. The actor pulled so much out of what was given to him. Sad his role was written like it was. And whats going on with that rat-person, is he just an agent of chaos?!

At this point, I get the feeling that Disney Star Wars is sending us the message "women in positions of power absolved from the consequences of their actions lead to dark times and the collapse of society". It starts with Vernestra here and Hera Syndulla (with Leia's blessing) being defiant in front of a legislatory body and leads to Palpatine and The First Order, respectively. Apart from this being rather ominous, it also signals that Disney Lucasfilm is actually a hotbed of internalised misoginy and Acolyte is actually extremely offensive to women holding any power...

Thor, this channel has been one of the only sources of stability in this storm called The Acolyte. I want to thank you for all of the time and effort you've done coming at this show at as much as an objective angle as you possibly can and explaining why many of us simply refuse to acknowledge this series as good like many people blind to its faults want us to. I read a comment saying that people criticizing the Acolyte and giving it less than stellar remarks are "engaging in a special kind of toxicity in going out of your way to ruin other people's fun" and that despite all the irreverent treatment of the Star War in this show, that the "existence of The Acolyte does nothing to degrade the experience of watching other parts of the Star Wars universe, just like the existence of Andor does nothing to improve the Rise of Skywalker". The comment even goes as far as to say that this "toxic fanbase" is motivated by "the dark side" and that we "want to destroy joy, to obscure stories, and take away the ability for people to experience things on their own without prejudice, and make their own decisions." I can't help but feel so detached from this point of view where someone receiving even a smidgen of (in my opinion necessary) push back in regards to the handling of the show just sticks their head in the sand and calls everyone toxic when trying to explain and elucidate the many flaws that this piece of media has. I can't fathom it. If we can't have any grounds of objectivity in dialogue when judging a piece of Star Wars work we may as well get rid of canon all together.

In the end, we can be glad that someone at Disney was able to dissuade Leslye from writing Vulcans, Daleks and the One Ring into the series.

The “you missed the entire point of the Prequels” crowd is incapable of understanding that being flawed is different from being in the wrong. Just because the Jedi are flawed doesn’t mean their ideals are unjust.

I swear, this show is written like something written by a person who has literally never written anything before in their life!😳🤨

Back in the olden times a senate council would meet in a teeny lil broom closet where they barely fit. Back in those same olden times people had a different goal every two minutes. One minute you were fighting a deadly stranger with Jedi like powers the next minute you were getting force chocked by a mechanic. It was wacky. One minute you're tossing people 30 ft. with a flick of your fingers the next minute you're taking orders from them. What a world. A world of Wars and Stars.

So let me get this straight. Harvey Weinstien's Personal Assistants Wife is the big bad and most important at the end? Im shocked, shocked i tell you

~ Light sabers are now Mood sabers ~ Red saber: angry Blue saber: calm Green saber: thinking about the money you're getting paid for phoning it in Purple saber: pimpin' it Yellow saber: didn't take a "break" before the long trip Orange saber: Didn't take a "break" and now very angry about that!

No Thor, thank YOU for watching. I'm grateful to you for taking that hit for us.

What did I just watch ? Does nobody care at the Temple what has happened? Yoda felt nothing ? I can’t even begin to understand what this was ! The defenders of this series can argue with themselves, I give up !

Why did that rat sabotage Sols ship and nearly get them all killed?

So, the Jedi council didn't question Bazil the sole survivor of this mission?

You forgot the biggest mystery of all: Why the heck did the gopher yank out the wires in the ship when Sol was chasing down Mae? 😂

"It took the combined ingredients of idiocy, ineptitude, and total disengagement for this farce to have reached the full apex of incredulous disaster."

"Shit in a box and call it a day" apparently this is the new motto over at Disney Star Wars

My biggest problem with this episode - and indeed the entire show - is that it only left me thinking things like "What?" and "Why?" Even when we were given answers to some of the "mysteries", they still seemed to raise more questions than they answered.

It was weird that she made a Kyber Crystal just by holding the hilt...Vader was doing it wrong

Weinstein’s assistant should never be allowed to create another tv show.

If it wasn't obvious before, they totally tipped their hand when the senator gave his speech about how he felt towards the Jedi. That monologue was 100% Disney's Lucasfilm projecting their true feelings about the Jedi into the show.

They really did drag Plagueis into this mess

You know, Disney just made this worse for female directors and female leads for now on because if you think about this that green alien lady. She is the reason for the downfall of the Jedi. Because of her, the Jedi are led to ruin because SHE wants to keep up appearances. That makes it worse in so many different ways and I don't even think they realize it.

Hey Thor, sorry this is a bit long. I hope this all makes some sort of sense. This episode may be my least favorite Star Wars thing since The Last Jedi. I want to say that there were at least some interesting parts in there that got my mind churning. But everything, from the Plagueis? and Yoda cameos to the bleeding of the crystal, just felt hollow. I don't care about, or really understand, any of these characters or their motivations. But let's forget about the nonexistent plot, or the weird dialogue, or the compulsive behavior of nearly every character. Those are bad, but not the worst thing this show did. I ended this episode with this pit in my stomach, and I wasn't quite sure what was different this about episode than the others until my brother said something while we were talking about it. He said something like, "Turning to the dark side should always be a tragedy, and this show seemed to try to make it feel heroic." That was exactly it. Thor, you have touched on this sentiment many times in recent weeks. The clarity of selfless vs. selfish, light vs. dark in Star Wars can't be blurred. That is the failure of this show. It takes one of, if not the most important themes of Star Wars and tosses it aside.

Whats next Qimir and Osha have a baby and name him Palpatine? Like this feels like a rewrite to Sidious origins and makes it like Plaguiese is the architect behind the scenes trying to find a true apprentice.

My jaw hung open in disbelief the entire time. Can’t believe what I saw.

That was fast! Which must mean, you really couldn't stand it. I'm with you, Thor.

Man. Harvey Weinstein did a number on Leslie headland. This story is messed up.

This is really the first time that I have heard Thor sincerely let down. You can genuinely hear his pain :(

“What did I just watch?” Was exactly what I thought after finishing the episode. I swear like the last 10 to 15 minutes was so rushed I did not know what was going on.

They turned a Sith Legend into smeagol … really great intro

If they need proof, Then Why NOT SEND THEM THE BLOOD TEST RESULTS to the council? Didn't they say earlier that the results are literally identical. Something only a vergence in the force can produce.

“You can’t say it will be bad before they even release it,” they said. I don’t need to step in 💩 to know it’s crap.

The legacy of this show, as far as I'm concerned, is that it doesn't exist. I won't return to it, won't watch another second of it, and it has no place within the saga. It's a non-thing.

My condolences Thor, you have suffered.

Takes a full council to wipe REVANS mind, but one sith can wipe may in a blink...not only did she manage to fuck up continuity w the movies, but the best story outside of them too

Wow, it’s finally over. Thank God. I wondered if maybe the end episode would tidy everything up into a nice logical package. Boy was I wrong! There is so much to dislike - or hate-about this episode, my mind is almost numb where to begin. I think the big thing to me is how poorly written this episode was and how it all felt like something some rank amateur writer or high school kid would come up with and think it was clever and brilliant. You can see that they used a lot of the budget to make this episode flashy, but the terrible, illogical plot, poor acting and absolutely maddening outcome made it all worthless. All series long they have flirted with making the Jedi look bad and the Sith (or whatever) look good, but have usually backed away just enough to keep the debate good over whether they would or not. Tonight they crossed the line and made the Jedi - especially Master Sol and Vernestra-look stupid and (in Vernestra’s case) evil. There was no deep character development, no real reasoning or anything, the plot just jerked along. Mae is back to her old self and of course Sol had to take them to where it all began 16 years ago because…of reasons. I’m not clear exactly why, something about the Vergence and being able to prove it now. Mae, using the odd little droid, escapes, and for ….reasons…the obnoxious little tracker, Basil, helps her by sabotaging the ship. They have a silly trip through asteroids though they could have gone around it for…reasons. Sol’ s ship tailgates Mae’s for…reasons. Mae’s ship crashes, but doesn’t explode, and though Sol’s was out of control to some degree, a few scenes later he is shown landed. He runs around the ruins of the witch’s coven shouting “MAE!” far too long. Then we have Osha in Qimir’s Sith helm, she gets a Force vision of the future (which I don’t think actually ever occurred) and Qimir has a tough time getting the helm off her head. His eyes turn solid black as he tries for…reasons. They decide to go to confront Mae and Sol as Osha now knows where they are. Suddenly Osha seems to be the master and pretty much dominates Qimir, who lets her do it. Before they leave, we see a shadowy figure in a cave nearby, who is likely Darth Plaguis (sure, why not!) They head out to Brendok and then we see Vernestra meeting with a stupid senator who of course hates all things Jedi with no real reason given, just for…reasons. After the meeting she is informed that Sol has turned his transponder back on, so Vernestra (who we later learn is a member of the Jedi council) gathers up 15 Jedi (all likely as inept as those that went with Sol the last time) and off they head to Brendok as well! Of course by now they’re sure Sol is a mass murderer and even Qimir when he is later fighting Sol tells him that the Jedi are not heading there to get him (Qimir) but Sol. Anyway, back to Brendok, and soon Mae and Osha encounter each other and about the same time Qimir puts on his Darth Smiley outfit and confronts Sol and yet another lightsaber battle ensures. A few cool matrix like ‘bullet-time’ scenes and meanwhile, Osha confesses to Mae that she couldn’t get past her anger and that is why she was never successful as a Jedi. Mae is now going full force with the ‘Sol killed our mother’ tale, never mentioning how she turned into a black mist and seemed to be turning Mae into it too before Sol attacked. Not important! Jedi are bad! Osha doesn’t quite believe it yet, but clearly she is heading that route quickly and the two separate for what will now be the GRAND FINALE! Sol manages to defeat Qimir but just before he is about to finish him, here comes Mae and Sol of course has to explain to her that she and Osha are one being made by magic! All the while Qimir just stand there. Osha arrives at the dramatic moment, Sol confesses that he killed her mother saying it was the right thing to do and some stupid stuff about giving her the life she wanted. Of course Osha goes darkside over it and then successfully kills a Jedi without a weapon by Force-choking Sol to death while saying ‘stop talking’. He, a Jedi Master, can’t stop her either. The typical emotional release scenes occur as Sol’s lifeless body lies on the ground, after all he MURDERED their mother! He had no reason to do so! Osha grabs Sol’s lightsaber and immediately bleeds the Kyber crystal, the blade turning red to show Osha has gone all Sithy! Mae and Osha huggy-kissy make up (which was poorly done as same actress plays both girls). After Force-choking her former master, now we’re supposed to feel all warm and fuzzy over Osha and Mae. The Jedi with Vernestra have landed, and somehow they get Basil to lead them to the site of the battle as fast as his tiny legs could carry him. Vernestra senses Qimir, and obviously he was her padawan, BIG SURPRISE!!! Osha and Mae now turn to gentle master Qimir for help and he tells them that he will use his Sithy powers to erase Mae’s memory of her sister for…reasons. They agree and Mae waits for the Jedi while Osha and Qimir escape the 15 Jedi, Vernestra and Basil looking for them. Gee, no one thought to find Qimir’s ship and intercept them and of course no Jedi stayed on their ship to monitor anything. No, in true Keystone Cops fashion, the fifteen Jedi jog behind little annoying Basil as he leads them to where Mae is, which is beside the yellow tree. But before this, they come across the scene, find Sol dead, Venestra sends them all off and she takes Sol’s body, gives him a Viking funeral and begins formulating her plan to explain everything and piss off all loyal Star Wars fans in the process! I can see why she did it though, it would be hard to keep his body around and tell the Jedi he killed himself by Force choking himself to death! The Jedi find Mae, she passively awaits them looking like she was stoned and the next scene is Coruscant where Vernestra makes up a terrible story to cover everything up to the senate. Sol MURDERED the witches and with the other three Jedi, covered everything up to protect Osha, then, when Mae reappeared, he apparently lost his mind, killed more Jedi for…reasons… and then committed suicide on Brendok due to guilt. Sure, that explains everything! We see Mae brought to see Vernestra, who repeats the lie about Sol to her. She needs her help to find her master and she doesn’t even remember her sister. Nevermind that Mae killed Indara and convinced Torbin to commit suicide, that was all forgotten! Vernestra doesn’t worry about any of that, she has to keep her cover-up alive and well for a season 2 of this series!

So they not only disenchanted the whole Anakin chosen one thing but also completely took away the mystique of Darth Plagueis - all while effectively making the Jedi corrupt cops. What the fuck man

It also makes absolutely zero sense that a Jedi would cover up something as big as the Sith returning

Where are all the trolls who were so vocally attacking anyone who dared criticize this show not more than just a few weeks ago?

The best thing about the series, ‘The Acolyte’? It makes The Book of Boba Fett, season 3 of Mando and Ahsoka all seem much, much better. The polar opposite of ‘Andor’ in all ways. Andor had no Jedi, no lightsabers, no mention of the Force or even darksiders, few people watched it when it first came on and later on most fans realized it was the best Star Wars ever. The Acolyte has lots of Jedi, many lightsabers and battles with them, frequent mention of the Force and darksiders, few people watched it when it first came on and most fans realized it was the worst Star Wars ever.

It’s finally over! 🙏

Thor starts his review... AW FUCK THIS SHOW!... ends review

Learned light sabers are secretly mood rings lol.

According to Disney the title of "Return of the Jedi" should actually be "Return of the flawed Jedi".

Wait, you want to tell Green Lady who is played by wife of producer of this show, is the most important person in the Galaxy?😄 I've see that nepotism is forever alive in Hollywood - no matter which political side is in charge...

Darth Leslye Headland strikes back and puts the force to sleep

This whole thing is like the guy who is cutting a tree branch while sitting on it.

Imagine in TPM when Obi Wan comes back and the jedi would be like "ah yes, Obi Wan clearly killed Qui Gon"

Yoda "Bullshit, I sense"

Remember, Dave Filoni approved this.

This entire story is so nihilistic. There is no value in honesty, trust, humanity, compassion or redemption. People are entirely instinct-driven and unreliable, corrupt, out for themselves. Everything is superficial and there is no meaning to anything other than power seeking or preserving.

No one on the council wants to investigate the vergence? this astronomically rare force event and they send what is basically their D-team.

I think the implication of Vernestra lying to the council when we know many other Jedi already know the truth was that ALL the Jedi are in on the lie and cover up. This is why Basil turned on Sol and sabotaged him when he was chasing Mae in the ship. The point they kept making is that the Jedi have actually the bad guys the whole time. That’s also why the show ends with the Sith looking hopefully out to the horizon, a Sith take on the ending scene of Empire Strikes Back.

I wanna point out, since literally EVERYONE is pointing out that she absolutely cannot act for the life of her, that Headland literally wrote the role of the twins for Amendla Stenberg. She didnt audition for it. She didnt have to have an agent to get the role. She didnt have to come up through another show/movie to be recognized and pointed at for the role. The role was written specifically to cast Amendla Stenberg in this series as the main protagonist and antagonist. And she couldnt act her way off an improv stage while people boo her. And then she had the audacity to go make that stupid music video.

Well, we now have a taste of pure fanfic making it to the screen...for 180million dollars.

16:45 It's ok Thor, we all.know you meant to say "f*cking" instead of "freaking".

Dont work folks, they showed 2 seconds of Darth Plagueis looking behind a rock and the back of Yoda's head..Arent you excited?! Lol Star Wars under Kathleeen is a joke

There has been one consistent element in this show: characters have acted erratically, especially Mae and Osha. That the two of them are actually the same person, and that they have a light side / dark side oscillation between them, might explain their flip flopping behavior. Both have gone back and forth between selflessness and selfishness. But the show has given no firm clue to back that idea up. If it did, that could turn out to be pretty freakin' cool. But other characters, Sol for one, have acted inconsistently as well...diminishing any weight to a Mae/Osha force anomaly explaining their erratic choices. Vernestra seems to be a developed character in the High Republic lore, her wiki is a mile long. But the show seems to be setting her up as some kind of internal threat to the order. I finished the last episode asking the same question, "What did I just watch?" But I still want my questions answered. Alas, I doubt the answers, if there are any, will make any sense. Nothing has made sense so far.

How, how did this get approved? It would have to go though so many people before it got approved! Many levels of people. I'm truly in shock.

Better questions is “why are we shocked”? This whole show is just a nightmare. They break so much lore and make things “work” for the sake of working by ignoring everything else that’s been established. Plagieus gets inspired to create Anakin via stalking osha. Yoda can’t sense a grip of jedi just die. And he can’t sense Vernestra lying, or a growing dark side. No Jedi can sense that I guess. Osha can just kill a master Jedi? Cause she got angry? Wasn’t Mae angry this whole time and got actual training? Yet Osha can just bypass that and force choke a master and break his force shield despite not training, practicing, being cut off from the force? And she was so angry she “bled” a Crystal? But Anakin’s lightsaber never changed. Why is this show?

Yeah I'll check out Andor S2 and then just be done with any new Star Wars

All Star Wars fans dream of movies and series where the original themes and the adventurous, wondrous feeling of the Galaxy Far, Far Away is portrayed. So how did this series do in keeping this dream alive? To quote Darth Smiley in the first episode of ‘The Acolyte’, “The Acolyte kills the dream.”

Thank you Thor. Keep doing what you do.

"If you don't want anything ruined..." M8, my day would be ruined if I watched that crap, so I'm just gonna enjoy your review without suffering through the episode itself.
