I couldn’t stand it when she said that “oh I quit the Jedi 6 years ago and those skills aren’t applicable anywhere else”. Telekinesis, strength, reflexes, precognition, NONE of that is useful? Really? Anakin was a pod racer using those skills, she couldn’t be a bounty hunter or a better mechanic or a pilot or doctor or anything else?

You think her killing Carrie-Anne Moss’s character was dumb? In the second episode the assassin actually convinces a random Jedi guy to just drink a vial of poison through guilt tripping. They’re not even trying lol.

@JoRoq1 Ай бұрын

The poison/suicide bit might actually have some validity in the pay-off (even though yes, it's stupid). They are building up the real mystery (as the murders are just a plot tool and not the real story) as what happened 16 years ago when the twins' family home was burned. Both girls survived, but each though the other dead. Sol rescued one girl, and intentionally hid that she had a presumed-dead twin from the Jedi records. 4 Jedi were apparently on that planet at the time, and the evil twin clearly has some undisclosed reason to think they were responsible for the fire (and thus seeks vengeance). The untouchable Jedi apparently did hold on to some kind of deep guilt for what happened. There is actually an interesting story hidden here, just being botched in the execution.

At the point of the prison ship scene we don't know yet that an evil twin exists and that Osha is innocent. Her actions during that scene contradict with that of the killer which is meant to do two things: Show her character, her values as well as throw the audience into a loop, because something doesn't make sense here. She cooperates with the arrest, as well as cared for the prisoner who gets "sedated" via that parasite. She refuses to take part in the prison break until the ship gets damaged and is about to crash (survival instinct). And even then she rescues that one prisoner. She puts trust in the Jedi and the system because she seemingly believes (though actually knows) she is innocent. In contrast we have seen the killer who uses deception and trickery to kill Jedi, involves, hurts and risks the life of innocent people to achieve her goal. Multiple personalities? Good acting on her part? Mind control? Changeling? Evil twin? Drugs? etc. There are a lot of theories that could have explained the contradictions we see between the killer and Osha. That whole arrest - prison ship sequence is meant to show that, show (part of) Osha's personality. The prison ship scene also gives an "excuse" as for why she didn't reach Coruscant and that they have to send a party out there who then can "operate on their own". If anything, that arrest as a whole and that they put somehow who's trained in the force and (allegedly) killed a Jedi Master in such a minimal security prison ship is just hilariously stupid.

"A Jedi does not pull a weapon unless prepared to kill" is contradicted by the fact that lightsabers exist. Lightsabers are a defensive weapon. Jedi very often use lightsabers to block blaster bolts. Not to mention, the heat of the saber instantly cauterizes wounds, so Jedi can incapacitate people instead of making them bleed to death. Shad's passionate response to that moronic line is very reasonable, lol

@JoRoq1 Ай бұрын

I think they pulled that line out of the horrible Western tropes regarding samurai and katanas (or some other form of code-based honorable warrior). They clearly wanted a heavy Eastern-influenced appearance in the show, as every Jedi apparently knows Kung Fu.

@Wustenfuchs109 Ай бұрын

The whole thing with assassination attempt of the Jedi master at the start - there were a lot of individuals who'd do that over the course of the story and one thing they have in common is - stealth. You, as an assassin, are going against one of the most powerful individuals in the galaxy, hyper-aware of everything going around them. You need every single trick to hopefully get one of them, and even then it is extremely risky, even if the assassin is a force user themselves. Unless the assassin is a Sith lord themselves, they would look to create a situation where the target is ambushed or otherwise at a disadvantage. They would NEVER just walk up to a Jedi Master and ask for a fight. Because, your whole goal is to kill the Jedi Master and not test your luck. Jedi Master would have sensed the dark force user a mile away and the moment she actually challenges her to a fight in a bar, with a bunch of civilians, a Jedi Master would slice her open without too much of a thought. Because, the alternative is endangering a bunch of civilians. Which is exactly why assassins that targeted Jedi over the franchise used stealth, ambushes, traps and all other kind of trickery. And they were outfitted specifically with gear that would increase their chances against the Jedi - like a flamethrower, saber resistant armor or weapons, multi-projectile weapons (like Mandalorian has, the Whistling birds) that might overwhelm the Jedi who's focus is damaged and many others. Dark force user just walking into a bar with a bunch of knives to attack a Jedi Master in the broad daylight - probably the most stupid thing in the franchise, and we are still on the first scene. Plus, the fact that Jedi Master does not slice her open the moment she takes out a weapon... Jedi are not idiots. One you threaten anyone with lethal force, you are going down. You'll at least get your hand(s) sliced off so you would not be a threat. And that assassin had NOTHING to counter the lightsaber. Absolutely nothing. Which is one more reason why assassins of Jedi tend to avoid direct fight with a Jedi - lightsaber resistant weapons/armor are very hard to find and damn expensive. In the realistic (for the setting) first scene, Jedi would sense her a mile away and walk out in a field or some other secluded area and play dumb. Stupid assassin would track the Jedi, get her hands sliced off the moment she takes out the daggers, and dragged before the Jedi council to figure out who trained her, why, and where can they find them. It is a 10 minute show in all.

@jaieregilmore971 Ай бұрын

Thank god someone say it there no way an actual Jedi master would lose like that and I found the whole not using the lightsaber was dumb they can end the fight quickly one slice in the arm there no point prolonging it. The assassin was dumb she didn’t even cover her track doing it in public was completely stupid.

Btw the line about the Jedi wont pull there weapon unless preparred to kill is supposed to be a jab at gun owners in America, cause of a saying we have due to the laws in place here. "You better not pull your gun unless you are prepared to kill with it". The reason we say this, is because if you use a gun in a self defense situation you can go to prison if the perpetrator survives as their lawyer can argue that you meant to maime them. This is why in the great state of Florida our sheriffs encouage us to disspatch home invaders with upmost discretion so they stop wasting our tax dollars on housing them in prison.

Not only that, but she survives both lack of atmosphere and being burnt to death on reentry because there are giant holes in the ship's hull!

Tolkien The point of this statement was not that the map needs to be done before any writing, it's that a map of relevant locations needs to be done before travel/temporal reasoning needs to be done for various things. Tolkien was very clear and intentional about the travel time of all actors in his Legendarium (especially LotR). Where were the Nazguul? Where was the Fellowship? Etc. Everything was well established based on travel times because he had a map. Modern writers think maps are for chumps.

So she's on the prison transport. She has a chance to escape the transport. She refuses because she trusts the Jedi. The other prisoners leave. The transport crashes. Then the prisoners who escape are ALL captured easily. The Jedi find the crash sight basically instantly. The Acolyte sees them coming to rescue and arrest her. She runs away because she doesn't want to be found by them. She's caught while running away from them within the same episode. WHAT IS THE POINT OF ANY OF THIS!? If you want the Jedi to know she's willing to run away from custody instead of standing trial, THEN JUST HAVE HER LEAVE ON THE ESCAPE PODS WITH THE PRISONERS WHO ARE EASILY CAUGHT ANYWAY! If you want the Jedi to know she's NOT willing to run away, DON'T MAKE HER FUCKING RUN AWAY FROM THEM WHEN THEY SHOW UP TO SAVE HER FROM A SPACESHIP CRASH!!!! Why would she run NOW, but not when it was SAFE to run? What's she gonna do, escape into a frozen wasteland she's never even seen before!? Keeping her on the ship so it can crash ONTO A PLANET FROM SPACE only to show her being COMPLETELY fucking unharmed after HOURS in the bloody snowy wreck is completely POINTLESS.

Darth Maul, falls down pit and lives. Palpatine, falls down pit and lives. Boba Fett, falls down pit and lives.

We are getting to the stage that you release the new franchised slop, it does similar numbers to the last franchised slop and everyone pats each other on the back and laughs at the alt-right trolls who cry about it. Nobody remembers the time when shows used to do ten times the numbers, they forget what success actually looks like so there is no reason to change.

I'm sorry you felt compelled to watch this. Wasn't really expecting anything else. And given how long the show was in production, I suspect the reason it seemed so disjointed and contradictory was because of the process that Doomcock refers to as scrapbooking. (If you aren't familiar with his channel, it might be beneficial to look him up, especially where Disney is concerned.) Scrapbooking is filming a number of individual scenes in a number of different variations for the purpose of being easy to string together in any preferred order. This is done to give the production more flexibility to deal with rewrites, retcons, and administrative changes. However it comes with a lot of downsides, including the narrative becoming disjointed, or self contradictory, because the pieces don't quite fit. The expense is also a downside, which is why a lot of the productions seem like they have a very inflated budget. Well, one cause. DEI bloat is assuredly another. But the disjointed and contradictory narrative you immediately mentioned made me suspect that this was the cause.

The time it takes to fly in hyper space: The whole reason that Han was proud of the millenium falcon is because it made the kessel run in whatever it was.... 12 parsecs. And in a new hope jumping from Tatooine to Alderan and they were in hyperspace for a considerable amount of time, denoting that while travel is fast, it still takes time. The prison ship coming out of hyperspace in an asteroid feild: Again a new hope, Han makes a significant point about the navigation being paramount when traveling through hyperspace for the express reason that if you collided with something at that speed your trip would be over real quick.
