- In an age of light, a darkness rises. Join Jaby and Achara for their reaction to “The Acolyte” Episode 5. Set 100 years before the rise of the Empire, this gripping Star Wars series introduces Osha, a former Jedi apprentice turned meknek-a cosmic grease monkey with secrets to unravel. As sinister forces emerge, respected Jedi Master Lee Jung-jae faces off against a dangerous warrior from his past, Amandla Stenberg (The Hunger Games & The Hate U Give).
This series also stars Jodie Turner-Smith (Queen & Slim), Joonas Suotamo (Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens), Amy Tsang (Velvet Buzzsaw), & Carrie-Anne Moss (The Matrix, Memento, Fido, Silent Hill: Revelation & Jessica Jones). But beware-the path they tread is shrouded in mystery, and nothing is as it seems. Buckle up for a thrilling ride through the High Republic era, where ancient enigmas collide with galactic intrigue. The Force awaits, and the stakes have never been higher.

Sith reasoning, "I killed a child, but you brought her here so it's your fault." 🤣
By his logic, the Jedi made her a combatant. She died fighting like they instructed her to.
Whoever the choreographer is for this series should be permanently hired to work on the entire Star Wars franchise.
its nowhere near as good as it was in the prequels, the thing that is tricking you into thinking the fights are good is the editing and camera movements. if you want to see a good fight scene search up the macbeth sword fight
Fighting choreography from this episode it's totally different from what we see till now, dialogue etc. it's was quite ok .
@@kitlow2970everything you just said goes into making fight scenes. It was good end of story stop hating and give credit where do
@@kitlow2970 hell nah people try so hard to be on denial, im a huge fan of prequels but this was better than most of the duels in the them ngl, those camera tricks have always been used with choreographies, even in the prequels
Dont try to take away the merit from everything, to be honest, the only mindblowing duels from the prequels were when Obi Wan was alone against Maul, and the Anakin VS Obi Wan duel, the rest are normal duels who are easily at the level of this
@kitlow2970 I disagree. The prequel fights were ass. Especially when they involved a cgi Yoda hopping all over the place. It just looked goofy. The only one that anyone ever remembers is the Duel of Fates fight, and in my opinion, I thought the Maul fight was better. The thing about the fights in this show is that they look like actual fights. Like the characters are actually trying to kill each other. Whereas a lot of the prequel fights (and the sequel fights too) look clearly choreographed. Like one person does their action and then they wait for the other person to make their move. And it just goes back and forth. Watch the Ahsoka show if you really want to see what I mean. They are the worst offender of bad fight choreography.
The metal is Cortosis( Beskar is an alloy) and it can withstand the blow of a lightsaber and briefly short out its blade.
Question, since the new Thrawn books are canon: in the Legends, cortosis was a metal, but in the new canon books wasn't it depicted as a fiber, a mineral that had to be woven or fashioned into armor with another base material? Either way, yeah, it's cortosis.
this. Also like the detail they fight through it. Cortosis only protected him from lightsabers but when he got hand to hand smacked in the face it didn't protect him at all, the helmet just broke and fell off. 😂
I'm so glad they introduced this element because not only does ark and back to the Jedi sith War, which I imagine both factions had very samurai like armor and fighting tactics, which I hope we get to see one day, especially on the big screen. But one of the biggest problems with just lightsaber battles is that because of how lethal and the 360 cutting edge of the lightsaber removes a lot of the sword fighting Dynamics that you would see in actual sword fighting, such as on a downswing stepping on your opponent's sword so it can't move and then you get a free strike kill. Adding lightsaber, resistive stuff and other elements is what makes these sword fights actual fights and I hope they keep this up.
@benschroeder4036 so it's a essentially THREADED through the armor....😂😂. I'm excited they included this, great defense to block a lightsaber and creates a weakness with it
Keeps talking small non canon stuff from legends.
stabbed 3x with lightsaber... me waiting for healing factor to kick in 🥲
she's X-23, so she will be back soon. I hope so lol. She died too soon...too soon...can't believe it.🤧
They stabbed our girl three times to leave no chance for "somehow she survived" 😭😭🤣🤣
Maybe Kophar is the place they'll discover bacta... Everyone wakes up in a few days, all injuries healed. 😅😅😅
Honestly I'm just waiting for her to send a distress beacon next episode, or a later episode, saying that she's alive. Disney's made lightsaber stabbings as lethal as a papercut or broken arm. Kylo Ren survived cause Rey is a Mary-Sue, Grand Inquistor survived, Reva survived TWICE, Sabine survived, and most likely, Barriss survived being stabbed. That's 6 lightsaber stabbings that people have survived since Disney took over with only Han Solo dying from being stabbed.
Then the claws come out and she starts slicing.
"There's a kyber crystal in there, why would you leave that behind?"
To be fair, bodies are dropping in that forest at a rapid pace and Jekki just went one on one with a Sith Assassin, who, may I remind you, disappeared when she looked down. I don't think the first thing she's thinking of is, "I better collect these before we leave."
So many reactors are so negative at the start of this episode lol, saying "there's no action!" only for the rest of the ep to be all action.
“Oh we know him he’s not gonna die.”
Just a crick in the neck he’s fine 😬
😂😂 he'll walk it off
Zod's snapped neck
He's a force ghost now.
The most surprising thing this episode did is bring Cortosis armor from the books and comics into live action. It’s a material that nullifies blaster shots and temporarily disables lightsabers. It’s incredibly rare and even harder to refine into armor.
and don't forget fatally toxic to organics, they mainly used it in droids
And even better it kepts its properties from legends too! It was noted on old canon Cortosis, in pure conditions, is remarkably brittle... So it getting broken by Jecki is really cool.
I only know of it due to it's use in Jedi Outcast, where the Empire's Shadow Troopers used it.
I think that's something they've done a lot in this series. Someone picked up the Star Wars encyclopedia and pulled a lot of hidden gems from books, comics and games.
sounds like a very good plot armor
Jeckies fighting is the exact shit i wanted to see Ahsoka do in her show. Honestly some of the best choreography we've had in SW live action tho
Agreed!
In the Disney era
@@hawkeyemihawkgettingmoneylord I won't speak on the OT since they kinda do their own thing so i think it's dumb to compare, but these fights were so much better than those in the prequel movies. Only one that stands on top is duel of the fates
@@Exnaut_ Prequel fights are the best in star wars.
Jeckies was a fierce fighter R.I.P
Y'all. These Jedi have ZERO experience fighting a Sith. None. They don't know what he is even. That's why they're taken by surprise.
He made them also angry and frustrated. That's what happened to Jecki 😢😢😢
Let's also not forget that he got in their heads like yord mentioned to osha. But what really hurt then the most isn't so much that they aren't used to fighting with anymore but the general disdain of the Jedi in this era of actual lethal combat. They lightsaber training had at by this point in time essentially become armed yoga. It was just an exercise routine they practiced but didn't really take seriously. I'm fact they considered the more aggressive forms like form 5 as being too violent looked down on actually training in it.
@@sakisaotome6753 I love how "Darth teeth" is doing every he can to win like attacking the hilt and using other people as shield. Dooku, Ventress, Kylo and even movie Vader were trained as jedis and play nice swordmanship. Maul was trying to prove himself and the Inquisitors were padawans or novice jedis. But this is how a sith or at least how a real dark user would really figth.
Qimir's helmet and arm guards are probably made of cortosis weave armor, which was resistant to lightsabers and could create an energy feedback loop that would temporarily shut down a lightsaber.
it may be canon but that is some fan fiction level bs. if that stuff actually existed all the sith would wear full body armour of it, darth vader would be covered from head to toe in it.
@@kitlow2970 I think it was supposed to be super rare and very fragile raw until it was woven into armor. In other words, not everyone would have it and even when they found it, there was a process to working into armor.
@@kitlow2970Yeah just like How modern-day soldiers have armor that's entirely made out of titanium encrusted in diamond. 🙄
Respect To Jecky The Most, Cause she Went Out Like A Full True Jedi Being the MVP Of this episode against The Sith Master, RIP Gonna Miss her alot for Sure ! ! !🫡
Darth Smily (likely Venamis) is a sith apprentice, not a master, hence the student is called an acolyte. His master is most likely Darth Tenebrous, master of Darth Plagueis. The latter is Darth Sidius' (Palpatine) master.
@RM1969RM makes quite of Sense even Tho i still find it Intresting that some Peapol Are Refering him as a first Knight of ren kinda or perhaps being An Inspiration for Kylo ren Helmet with his actual theme that's slipped in there.
@@groundbreaker1052 The first knight of Ren is Ren himself, and I'm not sure he was even born by the time Acolyte took place. As far as the helmet goes, Sith helmets all look similar: A sith helmet's purpose is to amplify powers, and its roots go back thousands of years to their their warrior era during which Sith armies fought Jedi armies in mass in battlefields across the galaxy. You can notice similarities with Mandalorian helmets because they have the same ancient origins. However as time passed, the Mandalorian helmet took a more warrior-like look (resembling spartans) while Sith helmets took a more German Stahlhelm look (tyrranical). Most sith stopped wearing helmets in the last centuries as they changed tactics from direct combat to deception, and the mask became a relic of a bygone era. This coincides with the Sith growing stronger as a whole in recent times through the rule of two (more force divided by fewer individuals), a more selective apprenticeship (fewer but more talented Siths) & having Darths who lived much longer (due to being hidden, practicing and not being lost in endless wars). Darth Venamis, who is the one in this show, is one of the WEAKEST modern-age Siths, which might explain why he needs the helmet!
@@groundbreaker1052that is because the Kylo Ren theme played when seeing Qimir here.
I'll never treat the beginner cortosis blade I get in KoTR badly ever again.
Achara sees Yord: we know him he's not gonna die
*Palpatine cackle*
ironic.gif
He took them out at break neck speed 😂
Achara literallly every single person watching this show knew who the master was.
😂😂
😂😂 Darth Gimp was an obvious reveal indeed.
It was the Asian dude, right?
It was like that Sauron revelation in Rings of Power LOL
"Imagine they just skipped the fight." Y'all weren't ready lol
"Do they not have the budget for a choreographer?" Before one of the best, most complex, most intricately-crafted, longest fight scenes we've ever had in Star Wars.
I'm mostly kidding, I had the same thoughts at the start of the episode bc we've seen Star Wars and Marvel pull the same thing so often where they cheap out on the budget for action sequences. But this episode delivered on that front at least.
Achara’s takes this episode were pretty… off lol
@@Lillian.Gao.it’s a play by play. Her reaction is happening in real time and we show that.
@@CinePals Yeah but at the end of the episode you’re still complaining 💀
@@ozeramo just keeping our feelings transparent and real.
@@CinePalsAcolite 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.
Why is the choreography in thia fight better than any of the choreography in the sequels?
Whoever was responsible for that fight should be put on the next Star Wars movie.
Better than most of the prequel fights too
If they fought like this in the sequels people would still complain about Rey and Finn automatically knowing how to be expert fighters. Plus, Kylo Ren used his lightsaber like a broadsword.
Only answer: Christopher Clark Cowan. Look him up!
shang chi choreographer. insane!!!
I think the opening text was referring to Qimir as the lone assassin, who risks discovery to seek revenge. Mae wasn’t really out for revenge, she was on a mission that was given to her by her master. Qimir was the one who was out for blood.
First live action use of cortisis, exactly like in the books. It disrupts lightsabers but was rare.
Also, Sith reasoning, "Jedi, you won't let me murder with impunity, run amok and cause chaos! How dare you!"
There is no way Sol doesn't recognize May..
Never underestimate a Jedi,especially a Master Jedi.
I think he knows, but is going along with the charade. Sol is not whom he says he is.
Disney..
He definitely will in the future, but keep in mind that he just watched his apprentice and friends die. In addition, he's still struggling with whatever is making him feel guilty. He's definitely not in his right mind right now, and it would make sense if "Osha" was acting a little strange after "killing her sister."
@@VykeKing are u stupid?
Its the best episode so far.
If I'm being honest, I think you're being extra nitpicky and critical of this episode just for the sake of it. The consensus even among people who didn't click with the previous episodes is that this one totally slaps. It's fine to praise the fight choreography unreservedly, no need to caveat it. The choreography WAS excellent, fluid and smooth and had a level of frenzy not seen in a long time.
No they are not. The fights were good. The story telling and implications were still lazy and bad.
They keep talking about mystery, repeatedly like they are trying to imply it so many times over all these episodes without any info. If you dont wanna reveal it yet, stop mentioning it every second scene. It gets jarring after the 5th time.
The way that mae keeps flip flopping, is bad and doesnt make any sense.
Sol not realizing at the end that she is not osha is also cheap and so dumb considering he is a master.
There is even more things that are just lazy or bad and they didnt touch on any of those so no, they are not being nitpicky
It was certainly a better episode, but that does not eliminate the subpar writing still present in the show
it seems like Star Wars fans have little media literacy nowadays. Short attention spans where they want everything revealed all at once and they don't consider any subtext unless its explicitly mentioned to the camera by an actor
It;s a mystery show, of course they're going to mention the mystery. I agree that its dragging, but buildup is what makes it impactful, people with tiktok attention spans want everything spoonfed all at once
Mae's "flip-flopping" makes sense because shes in a changing situation. She learns her sister is alive, so she doesn't need to work with the master anymore because the main manipulation is disproven. She learns her master is here, so she runs to avoid being killed or forced to be his apprentice again. She has an opportunity to get closer to Sol, and we'll get to see if you actually let the show tell its damn story.
Sol definitely knows its Mae from sensing, her hair, her demeanor and her tattoo. He is going to see what Mae's plan is, as well as get an opportunity to explain his guilt to Mae (like we saw with the other three Jedi from that day).
Again, let the show tell its damn story.
@@Nalphawhy is everyone using "media literacy" or "media illiterate "? All of a sudden? It's hilarious how people just parrot one another.
Disney was right when they say star wars fan destroy star wars
they could even hate this episode fight scene when its so good
exactly
So his helmet and bracet are made of cortosis, its a brittle metal that can short out lightsabers
Cortosis is a Material that disrupts lightsabers used mainly by anchient Sith Before they discovered how to make thier own Sabers. It was first shown in 90 SW Dark Horse Comics.
Jaby can be so frustrating because he knows that story should not be told but revealed. Also, he finally recognized that the show runner is making a show as if it was a movie split in 8ths or 10ths.
1:20 "We know him , He is not gonna die " xD
“Oh i can’t kill a sith”
Bro….Is in your jedi employment contract. Wtf.
10:25 "he's too dangerous to be left alive!"
Manny Jacinto's the bomb. I wanted more Jecki after that. Really enjoyed the episode. However . . . Sol really isn't going to notice the tattoo or can't sense it's the wrong twin (or can't smell burnt hair?) Agggghh, the writing on this show is still so unnecessarily subpar. Also, when Qimir floated down after escaping the insects, they played Kylo Ren's theme which was an interesting choice. One thing I haven't seen/heard is maybe Qimir is a Knights of Ren type instead of part of the Sith duality usually wandering around. This could side step the problem with the fact Darth Tenebrous is supposed to be the Sith of this era.
The knights of Ren weren't a thing until Kylo REN himself..
I interpreted Qimir saying "And let you read my thoughts" as meaning, that showing his face allows Sol to read his expression, not his literal thoughts.
Mmmm no, we see Sol read Mae thoughts in the 2nd ep. You couldn't tell me who your master was if you wanted" And Yord says that the Sith was getting in his head and staying there again bringing up force mind reading.
Sol clearly has that talent.
We need to see the events from Mae's perspective. That flashback ep felt VERY one way.
I honestly love how brutal and aggressive Qimir's fighting is.
This Sith Lord is by far the most deadly one we have seen!
Wow...I didn't know the Sith guy is jacked af! I thought he was a regular slim dude. 😂
15:43 It's Cortosis. It shorts out Light Sabres. Which is why they spark for a bit and then come back on. The Siths arm guard and helmet were made from Cortosis.
"Why would you leave a Kyber crystal behind" Yeah you're right, she shouldn't help with the fight and start cleaning and disassembling all those sabers for their crystals
That’s not what was suggested in the slightest. Characters in this universe are clearly able to keep items with them and fight.
@@CinePals What do you realistically expect? To start disassembling a saber and get the crystals?
Inside the story wouldn’t make sense, even if it takes 5 seconds, priority is the fight, as a show wouldn’t make sense, would be bad tv, you complained about looking at “Osha’s perspective or other stuff and not the fight” but you wanna watch tech support???
@@ozeramo just put it in your pocket like a glow stick? 🤣
@@CinePals But you realized you complained when we didn’t saw the fight? “Why are we watching Osha’s perspective” sooo…
And do you realize, the main goal is help on the fight? If they win they can pick them up later, if they lose… well wasting time on picking stuff didn’t help huh?
@@CinePalsOkay, but your comment about them being rare wasn’t really accurate. In this age, a trip to Ilum to find yourself a crystal is basically like a trip to Disneyland for Padawans. A very important trip mind you, but they aren’t in the slightest rare lmao.
The hate is so forced lol, this was fucking amazing
It really is at this point. This episode gives fans a lot of what they were asking for, even Cortosis makes an appearance but people are doing their upmost to be upset about everything. Skyman was complaining about the bloody trees
@@DarkRaven40011 Exactly brother 🤷🏻♂️
star wars fans destroy star wars
at this rate the hate is getting real pathetic
they totally discredit the fight scene wtf
@@loucipher7782 You’re damn right, They hated George Lucas on the prequels so much that they are the reason he left, animated Ahsoka… the list just goes on and on
I LOVED this episode, he's the most accurate portrayal of the sith. Everything he does is to gaslight his enemies and instill doubt and rage within them. He shows that he doesn't care about killing any of these Jedi, they are just in his way to killing his betraying pupil and doesn't commit to killing them until his helmet is removed and they see his face.
This episode has put this series in the top 10 of all star wars content.
Some good choreography doesn't atone for 5 episodes of bad writing.
Imagine caring this much
Leave him/her alone you guys. Everyone has the right to enjoy this series.
This episode actually saddens me, because it's a clear reminder of what the rest of the show could've been had they put a bigger effort in writing and directing. Such a wasted potential...
@@georgezee5173 u are pathetic
Cortosis is a long running Star Wars universe metal that resists lightsabers. It was cool to see it used here.
We need to KNOW the characters before the fighting means anything to us! We weren't going to get this right off the bat!
You’re right. Feels like I knew them. And now they’re all gone.
14:08 Yep that happens with several Telly Shows & is good way to keep the suspense till end credits 🙂 Please Basil stay safe when you're planning the right moment to inform Master Sol.. Even i think that Sol already noticed her being Mae when he got up 🙂 I hope he checks her on time so Mae can't kill him with a surprise Lightsaber ignition 🤞
I hope Basil is able to telegraph the problem to Sol. Yord is the one who could speaks to him.
@@marshsundeen Oh i sorta forgot that Yord was the 'translator' for the group. Yeah Telegraph or hand signs 😁 If Sol didn't notice already & decide to take a chance even without checking Mae for weapons 🤔
You guys, the nitpicking during the entire episode... come on. Painful watch.
I know, they should turn their brains off and watch 😉
All jokes aside, the fight scenes were cool.
This is two fold. There has been frustration particularly from me over the last two episodes. Achara has been feeling some of that frustration but favoring positivity in her response. So there was a sense of being ready to be frustrated. Our reactions shown are happening in real time and are honest for both the positive and the negative. You have already seen in it and know what’s to come. You’re seeing us discover it. And we complimented this episode. If you skip the discussion you miss more of us breaking down our feelings on this.
@@CinePals The frustration is justified honestly, they gave us nothing for the first 4 episodes. The only thing it had going for it was the action scenes, the rest doesn't even feel like a normal dialogue, especially whenever the two sisters are talking to each other, it's just cringe to watch that interaction. Their actions are way too chaotic and not paced right, going from lovey dovey two is one, to ima kill ya sis.
I personally was watching for the commentary just so I can confirm im not crazy and that my perspective on the show is justified. I had a similar reaction to the Dune movies, being too long and all visuals and way less storytelling than i was expecting. There was a huge mix of opinions on that one too, praising the movies to being god tier. The Acolyte I noticed less of a mix tho and seems more leaning towards terrible in general from everything ive witnessed so far and reviews.
Honestly tho what do you see in this show? I'm genuinely curious because i've only witnessed negative feedback about the show from majority of the channels ive checked out. Seems like the audience is leaning towards disliking the show. So, i am curious what are some positive things you have to say about it.
If you never seen the show, keep in mind the videos are edited so you don't see everything that takes place in the episodes.(not that ur missing much anyway, just it could potentially give you a different perspective if you have).
We all knew the Sith was going to be the Ezra Miller looking guy
lol, my thoughts exactly!
Kyber crystals are formed not made. They make the saber; they find the crystal after it's formed on the planet Ilum.
Well not only Ilum, if u take a look on the old republic...There was even cave on Dantooine.
@@rosomak6900 didn’t say it was exclusive it’s just where the Jedi get their main stash.
"I have no name, but there are some that call me...Tim." Name the movie reference.
Next ep mvp... Basil knows... Basil's nose.
Great fight but Mae was gonna SURRENDER last episode! WHAT HAPPENED?!?!
Mae's plans changed when she found out her master was on the planet. She knew he would kill them all, so instead of being taken prisoner by the jedi (who were getting slaughtered) she chose to run.
@@JB-sc1tg right and the Master was defeated, she ended up blasting Sol, pretend to be OSHA and then left with Sol. Why not surrender after the Master was defeated?
@KenFromchicago because the opportunity presented itself with her master out of the picture. Mae does not align with the jedi because she seems to know what they really did to her home. That's why in the very next scene, she tells Osha that the jedi brainwashed her.
@@KenFromchicago she was gonna turn herself spill the dirt on her master in exchange for Osha. But now they already know all about him, even his identity she had no leverage.
Her master showed up and slaughtered a bunch of Jedi. That's "what happened". Obviously she wants to run away while they are busy fighting, before he can kill her.
That Metal is call Cortosis
Jecki was my favorite! 😫 And the sisters annoyed me SO MUCH this episode. 😤
To be fair, it wasnt that hard to figure out who the Sith was, and what the Jedi did.
I agree w/Jaby, Sol does walk that line because of his emotionality and ties to the past. My prediction is Sol turns by the end of the season.
So with the info he was given in the meeting they thought it was a roguenjedi or a splinter order not a sith, so unless they get back to the temple and tell higher ups then his line still makes sense at least for now😊
Why am I just figuring out that the way Qimir said "You don't remember me" to Sol wasn't a question, but a statement of fact? Sol got brainwashed too.
they didn’t catch or pay attention to anything besides the fights 😂
This can be seen from his battle scenes or from what Yord said or Jeckie demonstrated during his fight.
The Jedi of this period may be called masters and padawans, but their experience of sabre combat is still in its infancy, and technique evolves with time and experience.
Unfortunately for the Jedi, this period is the most peaceful it's ever been, and they're only as powerful as they are because they've never had an opponent to threaten them.
We're a long, long way from Obi-wan vs Anakin...
Correct. Is the exact Midway intern between the end of the sith Wars and the beginning of the Clone Wars. Would argue even the Clone Wars never saw this type of action because again they were not prepared to go against armored force wielding Warriors that had similar philosophies. This fight actually made me really excited that when we eventually see the Old Republic and those Jedi sith Wars that we will actually see something I've been wanting to see go outside of Cannon which are large-scale lightsaber battles where both Jedi and sith are wearing armor and are using very lethal exotic kyber weapons to try to destroy each other just like jedkaichi epics like Ran.
dude even in Anakin era Jedi sucked
they got totally destroyed by storm troopers
let that sink in
pew pew
“A little bit of ED on the lightsabers” 😂😂😂
Bruh… it’s a murder mystery, reveals are suppose to take time 💀 you don't stop a movie halfway and complain about what they haven't revealed, and even less with a movie/show that's a murder mystery
Damn I used to love this channel, but the hate is really so forced, specially this episode
Murder mysteries done right lead less to frustration and more to fun/exciting discoveries and cliffhangers. This was the best episode in terms of action. The story telling I can’t say for sure until the season is complete. But it seems like forced suspense instead of it feeling natural.
@@CinePals I'm not frustrated at all, maybe it’s the need to find something to find and not just sit and enjoy what was frustrating, I’m not joking, for real, just sit and enjoy, you are trying so hard to find flaws, real criticism, cool, but the complains were crazy
You complained about the action during and at the end…
The storytelling has been so much fun, a love letter to star wars, not forced, feels natural and we have been discovering new stuff every episode, you don't like it? Fair, agree to disagree, but make it real complains, not something you are forcing
A murder mystery? it's either Mae who killed everyone or it's the Jedi's who slaughtered them or the witch queen girl. Either way it's terrible writing. If it's Mae who killed them, then that means a huge stone fortress caught on on fire from a single book and caused severe damage to the structure of a non flammable stone fortress and instantly killed everyone. If it's the Jedi's then that means Jedi's slaughtered a large group of unarmed planet dwellers all for some random girl named Osha who ends up leaving anyway. If it's the witch queen girl then it means she did a mind control on a Jedi and forced the Jedi to slaughter her people, the same community she was building for so long and then let the Jedi's walk away unharmed.
If you were eating shit and then ate a snickers right after, it doesn't negate the fact the first meal you had was shit. Same thing applies here, the first episodes are shit. Doesn't matter how good the last 3 episodes are, they still fed us shit.
I know you have hope for the series to be good, because I originally was hopeful too when i first heard of the timeline they were entering for the story. Unfortunately, it turned out to be not as great as we hoped.
@@sgtpepper1456 lol “not a murder mystery but x or y or z did it” Buddy hahahaha there’s the mystery, you can say you don’t like it, good for you, but that’s literally a murder mystery 😂😂😂
I mean if you didn’t like it, and FOR YOU it’s shit, and you keep watching it, the only one “eating shit” it’s literally you budd, so 🤷🏻♂️
Why would you leave a Kyber crystal behind? To me (and what do I know?) it looks as though the top of the lightsaber has been destroyed, and, mostly likely, the Kyber crystal as well, or, if you wish to go down a more philosophical route, attachment to things is forbidden, and, in this case could probably get her killed...
Also Jecki had more pressing issues at the time.
Also Kyber crystals are rare but other then to the Jedi and Sith not that valuable.
i was refreshing for so long lol thanks for the reaction guys!~
also incase anyone hasnt answered yet Jaby, the metal of the helmet and the bracer is from EU and Legends stuff. it has immense energy absorption ability, and is even known to interrupt sabers and stop blaster shots. cool thing that immediately confirmed it is when he got shot at with the stun blaster was nullified. but the ability to stop Force powers isnt a previous thing. it might be that you need to look into their eyes but i would imagine it could definitely interrupt the force powers as well. using the force is pulling or pushing energy so i could see that. him having that really hammers home the idea that he is really well set off. i do wonder if he is purely dark side though because he healed her arm at the end there and covered her. to my understanding the Healing ability is a Light Side power, its possible he studied both light and dark sides of the force. also perked my ears up when he said "A Jedi like you would call me Sith" like ok he isnt calling himself a Sith, he is saying that a Jedi would see in black and white and call me a Sith because i use dark side powers. but its entirely possible he is something else. There is an Order from the SWTOR MMORPG called the Revanites who study the dark and light side and practice a balance. i could imagine him being someone who fell upon the information from Revan and has struck a balacne within himself. he says "i came to peace with my dark side" and that REALLY had me thinking he could be someone like Revan.
"Did we not have a budget for a fight"... show proceeds to show you some of the best fight choreography in Star Wars live action history.
Patience padawan, patience!
The helmet coming off doesn't necessarily lead to Sol being able to mind control Qimir. It's been mentioned things like the Force suggestions only work on the weak minded which probably won't work on a Sith and Osha specifically mentions that her mom could control minds so that leads me to believe that Qimir just doesn't want a Jedi probing into his mind for any secrets or details of what he knows and plans.
Jecki got that triple tap treatment. Dude said too mamy of ya'll survive the single wound to the gut.
Isn't it cool when we see a dark side user that actually knows what he's doing?
The main issue with Mundi(conehead) is the fact hes not even born yet... lol
That ending was like Deadpool dying in Deadpool II
Lets bet the guilt Sol feels is of a similar sort like we saw Yoda, Obi-Wan and Luke experience- not having been able to prevent something bad from happening or having done something that set of bad things in motion.
New Rockstars says that this has the same stunt person as Shang Chi.
Obi wan is supposed to be the first Jedi to kill Sith in 1000 years, I hope they don´t bust it.
I screamed when that annoying dude got killed, I was just SO happy. But it was very shitty to kill off the Padawan so early. That was so sad. 😢
Did yall really just blur out Yord getting his neck snapped 😂
Editors choice. I left it alone. Might as well be safe. CZcams is intense these days.
@@CinePals I understand bro. CZcams is too sensitive
"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]
That material seems OP as hell. Imagine an entire suit made of it.
@@JB-sc1tg along with its properties to absorb the energy it is toxic to organics at least it was in the eu, it was mainly used in droids
@@JB-sc1tg It's from legends as well. And it is OP but that's why it's very rare.
@@JB-sc1tg Supposedly it's brittle.
The Jedi are In a time of peace. Jecki did not have real combat experience and everything up to this point has been a training exercise.
It's not just the Jedi who limit Force sensitive people from using their powers, its the Republic as well. Some 1000years ago when the Sith became a separate Sekt there was war and suffering everywhere, and hoping to ensure peace, the Republic (and Jedi) obviously wanted to limit the number of bad people using the Force. Not all Force-sensitive children join the Order, if you never learn or use your powers they "disappear" and weaken like an unused muscle.
😤🗣 I Literally don't care what anyone says , The ACOLYTE has proven to be a Phenomenal series so far ‼️ And episode 5 just proved it even more , and now the Majority of NEGATIVE People , that's been talkin' a lot sh*t about the Show , wants to switch sides Lol Cringe
I think my biggest issue of the episode is that Sol and Osha seem to have a special connection and was her master for nearly 10 years or whatever while having spent nearly 0 time with Mae, but can't tell them apart.
But haircuts. And to be fair, he just had a gnarly battle. Surely his spidey senses will feel it later.
i know, twins right
i know some father who cant differentiate their twin daughters
i cant differentiate my twin friends too especially when they swap hairstyle and clothing
maybe they can be identified by their behavior but certainly take some time not at first glance
Qimir/The stranger is not a Sith
He said that the Jedi would call him a Sith because that's the closest thing that match him in their codex (advanced dark force user using a red lightsaber)
He's at best aspiring to be one as he knows about their rules and beliefs and look for an Acolyte
Headlin was like "im doing one time ao im killing errbody!" Lmao!!
The show doesn't have enough small teases to distract people from the main plot tease. Once those things are reveal then it's roll credits. Just like a romance story.
I feel like qimir, the only person to know the difference between Osha and meg
Jecki was the MVP of the group while being the least experienced. The other jedi (masters? Knights?) all died without doing any damage to Qimir, while Jecki was the one that could remove his mask and fought way above her status/experience. Idk if with a 1 vs. 1 Sol could have gotten the helmet off and survived. Given the helmet material’s effect on lightsabers, it seems basically like a self sacrifice play to get the helmet off.
Overall loved the action, but some of the dialogue from Qimir seemed kind of cringe.
about Sol not attacking to save Yord,
I think he was simply afraid.
What this episode made me realize is they should've ditched the twins and focused on Daphne Keen's character.
19:50 Why wouldn't make sense? Damn this is crazy 🤡 brother you are having trouble in finding what to hate
I was accounting for Star Wars fan being particular about lore rules and stuff that maybe I am not privy to. With regards to attacking May, when you see a super powerful move used where you’re nearly raffling an individual and your friends lives are in danger, it feels weird to do anything else. It’s like introducing a gun in the middle of a fight but choosing to throw a fist when your friends could die. Overall, the show is more flowery, so it’s fine. It’s just hard not to notice when it’s on the heels of seeing so many Jedi getting executed like fish in a barrel.
@@CinePals Nothing canon or lore has been broken, if you are nitpicking, well 🤷🏻♂️
We are watching fiction, sooo, bare with me, try to understand a fiction logical reason as to not spam the same op move, like, why would thor not use the infinity war move on everything? Or whatever other example
They’re flawed characters, maybe heat of the moment, maybe Mae’s priority is getting out of there and not helping, maybe it needs a recharge, maybe it’s, as you say it, “super powerful” that it makes you tired… so much stuff
Anyways, you answer to several comments, don’t know if you read them all, but I’ll say it again, was a big fan, loved your reactions, but, staying on theme, you went to the dark side, the hate, the nitpicking is so forced 🤷🏻♂️
✌🏼
Sol is falling by the end of the series 100%
Jaby is impatient. This show is a mystery. We've only seen the first half and the second half jsut started and he's all like "Give it to us NOW." Buddy, we all feel the same way, you jsut gotta chill out and let what happens happen, if you can.
Did bro just say "making those are very difficult"
You don't make Kyber 😭
Making lightsabers, not the crystals
@@CinePals oh lmaooo I was like ?!
@@CinePals Can you guys please react to Kung Fu panda 4 and hazbin hotel
It's a 1/10 for breaking lore for me. You're absolutely right about Ki Adi Mundi, the Jedi that was in the meeting in episode 1 of the show and is on the High Council in the Phantom Menace. Him being there would mean that he would most likely have gotten information about the Sith. Only way that he doesn't is if everyone, including the twins, are killed by the Sith. The fighting was by far the best we've gotten from Disney so far, but it was still not Prequel level. It was far more fun than watching Rey and Kylo swinging their sabers as if they were bats. Also, can we talk about how the evil twin was somehow able to fight and kill a Master in the first scene of the first episode, yet loses to a Padawan? And how the Padawan was able to put up a far better fight than 5 no name Jedi and Sol who are more trained and have more years of experience than her? And I can't believe they are actually trying to pull off 'Parent Trap in Space'.
I think the witches controlled some of the jedi and had them slaughter some witches so Mae would see it. And Sol came too with bodies around him and his saber activated.
Man you guys are just hating for the sake of hating
They have a power level issue in this series. Why does Mae struggle with a padawan (Jecki ) when she had already demonstrated her ability to kill Jedi masters. Why does discount Ezra Miller (the presumed Sith Lord but will likely turn out to be an apprentice to another Sith Lord) struggle against a padawan (Jecki ) when he was shown to be powerful enough to easily take out Jedi masters...
At this point, I wouldn't be surprise if one of the Jedi masters turns out to be the real Sith Lord (maybe Vernestra)
I didn’t think the person the master turned out to be was going to be the one because it felt too obvious, felt like a red herring they added so they could deliver a big surprise reveal later when it’s someone else, but I guess the script is not that layered, feels a bit like ChatGPT wrote it…
I mean he’s the obvious reveal. Anyone could guess it’s him.
Osha just helped the Sith guy escape... Honestly, and technically...
Well.. we're in the middle of battle and mind reading takes some concentration. We can't risk multitasking here. That's how I would explain not reading Qimir's mind. When Sol asked Qimir to show his face Qimir responded, "and let you read my thoughts?". "Let you" being key, implying he has to comply in order for someone to read his mind.
I liked the dark tone of this episode, but the writing and dialogue was still so weird. I didn’t enjoy episodes 1-4 at all, but I did enjoy this episode, aside from the weird stuff, like the butterflies taking the Sith guy away😂
Sol is the sole Jedi who knows that the Sith have returned and if Mae does not kill him on the way to Coruscant I don’t believe that any of his colleagues are going to believe him especially Kiadi Mundi and they certainly won’t believe the civilian tracker on board because he is a civilian and he knows nothing of official Jedi business.
Umm homie hacked the archive science and I am pretty sure Sol abandoned him.
A story is been told in episodes for a season just like chapters in novels. I think viewing and critiquing it episode by episode is counter-intuitive. Not all stories need to entertain from start to finish. Comments like this episode is an improvement of the previous ones is kinda lame.
A well told story doesn’t leave the viewer frustrated but excited and intrigued. I have no expectation that the entire thing should be resolved in one episode. That’s not the issue. Chapters or episodes need to disguise the fact they are deliberately leaving out information that is being revealed later. That’s the magic of a good writer(s). A great story with mystery has you asking questions and answers it in a way that leaves you just satisfied enough but still wanting more. True Detective (S1), Breaking Bad, 24, Arcane… all shows of different genres but each episode had me so engaged, giving me just enough satisfaction at the end of an episode but left me wanting more and coming back for the next episode. It’s the job of the tv show to stay interesting otherwise the viewer might not come back. It’s completely fair to say this episode was an improvement if the overall quality was better than the prior. If the previous episode was only a set up for this episode and wasn’t interesting on its own as a mini story, that is not good writing. Lastly, I don’t think chapters and episodes are 1 to 1. Have you ever read a Patterson novel? Some chapters are a page and a half, some are several pages. And the rules are totally different there because it’s a novel.
