      It was a long way away and there were trees, as well as interesting samples of grass and moss to look at… they were distracted, it happens. Also Jedi aren‘t trained to go vagina fortress hunting, it might have freaked them out or something. There‘s myriad explanations for these simple things you bring up.

It was the door mechanism that then caught fire which then started a chain reaction. Which makes sense, as that was a mining facility and why would they not design a mining facility to be so easy to explode if a door lock caught fire.

    I thought this was, overall, a really good episode. It gave a lot more depth to Sol and his present-day actions. Mae being alive gives some redemption to a major mistake in his life.
    I think you're misinterpreting how the vergence plays into the twins' creation. They aren't the vergence themselves (like Anakin), but a vergence of the Force on the planet (a location, as noted in the episode) was drawn upon to create them, like a reservoir of power. Also, Indara saying the coven wasn't Nightsisters was based on her assumptions about the twins and an incomplete understanding of the situation; it's still very possible they were Nightsisters, or some splinter branch of them. I don't know if that will be addressed in the finale or not, but we don't currently have a definitive answer.

    The mother be like: Remember those Jedi that fear us? Well they're here, even that one that I randomly possessed threatened with dark magic a day ago right in front of everybody, and they want the child they politely and consensually asked to train, the one that wants to go with them, the one I've even privately but consensually agreed for them to take. My coven really doesn't want to listen to me and honor the kids wishes, this is a really tense situation. I better settle this down and avoid escalating things. I'm going to randomly, for seemingly no apparent reason, turn into a spooky ghost thing that can easily be interpreted as an attack now...because it'll look really cool! And all while my coven shouts violent threats at them and then act shocked when I'm stabbed. But the Jedi are the bad guys!
    Why did she do that? Why? WTF? How could she have EVER thought that was a GOOD idea?! The Jedi are there during the fire because, well, Torbin wants to go home. I swear to God, you can't make this shit up. They all feel unending life-long guilt...over this? Torbin and Kelnacca didn't even really do anything. THIS is why Torbin kills himself? This? And as for Sol, ah, ever pull a gun on a cop? SHOCKING when you're shot, isn't it? ...Sol didn't do anything wrong either. It LOOKED like an attack. And the reason for how the fire spread, the twist, is that there isn't one. It just did. And the real reason for why the witches died? ...I don't fucking know, none of us do. They apparently just read the Rian Johnson playbook and decided to die for...reasons. Did Indara kill them? Did the separation from possessing Kelnacca kill them? Did they just faint and the fire killed them? I don't fucking know. They just died because...they did. This feels like a third graders creative writing project.

But the real stroke of genius is calling you a racist sexist homophobe when you question anything, or apply constructive criticism to any of their products.

    Great video as always. Side note: I really think that the piece of carrot cake to the left of the one you chose was the better choice 😂

    How come Sol could hear OSHAs outside the fort through mountains but couldn’t realize Mae had switched with Osha in the ship. Crazy S**

    I am so happy that you are watching this and reacting to it, honestly, I have not had to watch it. Could not make it past the first two without feeling sad that it was time off my life I will not get back.

    I need to know why the squid game guy operates a large Ghostbusters trap in the beginning of the episode. And not in the end when he could capture the smoking girls...
