- SITH REVEALED W/ Many Lightsaber Fight Scenes!! The Acolyte Episode 1x5 Full Reaction Watch Along: / thereelrejects
The Acolyte Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis, Spoiler Review, & Theories! In Episode 5 of The Acolyte, the mysterious Sith Lord, revealed to be Qimir, engages in a fierce battle against the Jedi, resulting in the deaths of several Jedi members including Jecki & Yord. The episode is filled with intense lightsaber duels and high-octane action. The episode starts with Osha waking up to Qimir attacking her, and she witnesses him killing multiple Jedi. Master Sol directs Yord to take Osha back to the ship while Osha senses they need to return to help. They lure umbramoths to try and use them against Qimir. During the fight, Jecki manages to knock off Qimir's helmet before succumbing to her wounds. Qimir, now unmasked, engages in a battle with Master Sol, claiming Sol has lied to Osha and Mae and that the Jedi make the rules. Osha tries to sway Qimir but fails, leading Mae to swap clothes with Osha and cut her hair to match Osha's. Qimir, not noticing the switch, returns to "Mae" (Osha in Mae's clothes) and takes care of her. The episode ends with the twins swapping roles and the Jedi order facing a devastating loss.
The cast features Amandla Stenberg as Mae, Lee Jung-jae as Master Sol, Carrie-Anne Moss (Trinity from The Matrix) as Indara, Manny Jacinto as Qimir, Dafne Keen (X23 from Logan) as Jecki Lon,
Charlie Barnett as Yord Fandar, Jodie Turner-Smith as Mother Aniseya,
Rebecca Henderson as Vernestra Rwoh, Joonas Suotamo as Kelnacca, a Wookiee Jedi. We just had the end of The Bad Batch Season 3, Tales Of The Empire, and now we await Star Wars: Dawn Of The Jedi, The Mandalorian & Grogu movie, Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, Star Wars: Lando, & perhaps more!

Guys, Reel Rejects. Watch Dark Matter. If you like cinema. If you like sci fi, if you like a good show instead of The Acolyte. Watch Dark Matter. Post your reaction. I can’t speak highly enough of this show. I’ve watched acolyte and the. I watched Dark Matter. It’s film students (acolyte) vs seasoned professionals (Dark Matter). Greg, please.
Qimir is a Ren not a Sith, he refers to his pupil an Acolyte not an Apprentice coz he never consider himself as Sith, he said he has no name coz there's no terminology for a Ren at that time.
I will leave.
You guys are not men😢
Wow so many subtitles ! Even for French, thanks guys, even if i understand you correctly in english : )
The reason why the lights sabers are going out is because his armor, ect is made out of cortosis. It makes a lightsaber temporarily not work
Stupid rare metal that is cool to be in canon now!
@@Fantasmaa9 it is from the comics and books from 10 years ago
@@Fantasmaa9it's literally part of the galaxy🤡
@@Fantasmaa9 cough Beskar cough ;-)
Lets just make up lore to cover for bad writing
Jecki was the stand out. She had the best fight between herself and Qimir. Dafne Keen is great at action just like in Logan as X23. I hope she is in Deadpool and wolverine.
Even though we only saw her fight in one episode she covered it ALL. Single saber skills and then double saber skills, she really was a great fighter. None of them just got any expiernce fighting a dark side user😢. But she still put her all! RIP my girl!
Lets pour one out for her at the cantina.
Yea she was great…can’t wait to see her in more stuff especially Deadpool hopefully
Definitely a good performance but a really underdeveloped character and kind of a waste of a great talent that could have been in another Star Wars project with much more to do other than get killed off for shock value. I have a feeling she is not in that movie cause they really don't want to mess with Logan but I hope I am wrong cause it would be cool to see her as X-23 again
Wish we could have got more of her. She had potential to be a long standing character.
Qimir was never supposed to be the big reveal. The big reveal is whatever really happened 16 years ago.
Agreed!
When you mask someone up for most of the series, who it will be is a big reveal, and this one was so obvious and sucked.
Agreed! Plus each reveal leads to a greater reveal
Qimir himself literally said to Osha "did you seriously not know it was me?"
The show isn't pretending that he is a huge reveal
@@Icybubba Exactly, I saw this as Qimir winking to the audience that we suspected him all along
Me *seeing the villain reveal*:
Oh no he’s HOT!
why do i hear squidward's voice in this? 🤣
😂 I can already imagine the fanfictions
😅😅😅😅 I was saying the same thing
Ayy makes the show even more enjoyable to watch 😏🥵
Good Place legend
The Jedi had thought the Sith were extinct for 1000 years, prior to The Phantom Menace. This show takes place 100 years before The Phantom Menace so 900 years after the Sith's supposed extinction, the Sith survived in hiding for that long by abiding by the Rule of Two, this as far as we know is the first time the Jedi have encountered a Sith for 900 years, so no Qimir is not the first Sith he's one in a long line of Sith.
That's why Qimir said that they all had to die, to keep the Sith's existence a secret from the Jedi Order, which we know will last for another 100 years. The Jedi master that you mentioned from the previous episode is Master Ki-Adi Mundi who is from the prequels. He said the line about the Sith being extinct for a millennium in The Phantom Menace but it's not really a retcon because they never mentioned the Sith during his scene.
@@camdamelio4334 ”A jedia like you might call me a sith” was the phrase Qimir used. So no he dont belive himselfe to be one, he rejeckts the jedias binary thinking of jedi/sith.
I think this is why this series uppsetts so Manny. You are all chaght in the binary Theocracy thinking of the jedi.
@@camdamelio4334 Qimir: “I have no name though you might call me…Sith”
Qimir/Sol could die, though personally I feel it just showcases the arrogance of the Jedi, they are willing to ignore any possibility that the dark side has grown in strength.
@@ObsessiveGeek the arrogance is that the jedi thinks they Can decide what is the light and the dark side.
We all me inkluderar have been chaufför by the jedias way of binary thinking due to the introduction we got and How simpel life would be if ther was just light and dark. If ther is grey jedis why not grey sith and if ther is grey then the binary breaks down.
That’s one thing I’ve brought up, is how many times do you think Jedi have actually encountered a Sith over that 1000 years but never made it back to tell anyone?
😊 "Alright, Jecki, my girl!!!"
*a few moments later*
"NOOOOOOOOOO!!!" 😭😭😭
I know! But we must all remember that she was the one who busted the sith's helmet off for the reveal. She was kicking his ass for a while and played a huge role in whatever comes next. RIP Jecki, we salute you ⚔
I was yelling yessss cause disney finally learned how to quickly kill off a character without giving a tribute send off lol
Oh so it was all of us😭😭😭. I was waiting for her fight style to emerge, to see if she really was up there in my top fav Jedi and lost her not 10 minutes later😭
No one here seeing the issue with her standing toe to toe with a guy who’s probably almost as strong as Palpatine lmao especially when he one shot 8 Jedi and Jedi masters lol no one?
I loved the double use of the second lightsaber. She turned the fight around with that, but so did he. That was awesome.
How do you kill a Jedi without a weapon… you turn them
I like this a lot - Sol is the Acolyte to be.... I'm here for that
Not gonna lie initially I thought you were talking about Yord LOL
I'm sure the answer is "you snap their necks".
@@simonwookey7598 osha will end up the acolyte. With Mai pulling a twin swap, the next few episodes will be osha traveling with the Sith and seeing the sith way of life and Mae will see the Jedi way. And the show will end with osha beating Mae and then turning on Sol in a past betrayal.
@@craghey I’ve been thinking it’s Osha too. Maybe that’s the biggest mystery of the season - who is the acolyte?
real quick, i've watch a lot of reactions - the reason Mae isn't trying to be arrested despite saying she was gonna turn herself in is because now she knows her master is here and if she doesn't run she dies.
right
Right?! Turning herself in is no longer safe.
Fr, so many people are confused about that, beyond lots of other things. Use yours brains everyone
Imagine she's arrested, put in handcuffs and guarded by the Jedi... then the master kills all the Jedi and all that's left is her... handcuffed... against the master.
Its better to just run. lol
Good assessment thank you for that. I was a bit confused by it but that makes sense.
Dang, they gave Yord and Jecki NO plot armor! 😮
Sad and amazing at the same time!
@@thewrongagendapodcast9782 absolutely right, I’m glad they had the courage to do it but at the same time I wanted to like the characters more and it didnt seem earned. I wanted to see more of them before they did it
They had plot armor for a few minutes, enough to make their deaths more impactful, especially Jecki's.
To be fair Jecki as a Padawan held a 1 on 1 with Qimir, and before that Qimir was sheeshkebab-ing actual Jedi knights. She had at least a lil bit of plot armor. Definitely didn't give Yord plot armor though, Qimir didn't even need a lightsaber lmao
Honestly really sad jecki died bc it seemed like she was really the only good Jedi that wasn’t sol and she didn’t annoy me
Jecki reminded me of Ahsoka. Fearless, aggressive, and very skilled for a padawan. Sad to see her go so quickly
Ahsoka in the Clone Wars not in the show cause she was slow and moved like a 50 year old women touching a lightsaber for the first time in that show.
Big mistake to kill her off
@@jimmysmith6373lmao it’s a live action version almost every live action Star Wars is slow, but they’re supposed to be moving pretty fast
@@alexp601disagree, they all have to die, she was a goner as soon as she saw the red lightsaber
@@jimmysmith6373 Now wouldn't it be silly if Rosario was hopping about like an animated child. Seriously they bounced around like Looney toons characters in Clone Wars sometimes.
I dunno why everyone is missing the point of Mae..
Mae was willing to go to Kelnacca and apologize for her sins and wait for the Jedi to pick her up.
But he's dead. And the Jedi think she killed him
So her only option is to let the master and Jedi duke it out, and try to escape.
Meanwhile the reason why the master left the fights, he only wants Mae. The Jedi don't know he's a sith, so he's only focused on Mae.
So when his mask comes off he immediately goes for the kill shot.
Plus he's egotistical and prideful and 100% the apprentice, wanting his own pupil so he can become the master.
I mean I understand the story isn't that well written but the character motive made perfect sense to me
So I'm confused. He wants a pupil but senses that Mae no longer will come with him because she found hope in her sister, right? So he now wants to kill her. Is he now hoping he can turn Osha, is that why he's keeping her alive? I assume Osha's memory of what happened is false, and Qimir will show her the true events of that night. I wonder if we'll get a swap with the sisters.
@@lockekappa500 I think all of those details are things we're supposed to be confused on, it's very much anyone's guess what happens
I’m not a tough critic and easy to please so I wasn’t complaining too much about this and only was fairly confused but thanks for explaining this so I understand better
... But Mae’s already killed other Jedi before Kelnacca. Two of them. And was still intending to turn herself in before the Kelnacca moment. So why would them thinking she killed one more Jedi change anything? Mae’s motivations feel extremely bipolar and make zero sense to me.
And then if the Jedi actually played a bigger role in killing the twins family (which they’re strongly hinting at) -- it makes even less sense why Mae would have that moment of wanting to turn herself in. She’s been seeking vengeance all this time. Kills two Jedi. Finds out her sisters alive. Suddenly is fine with the Jedi and down to turn herself in because Osha’s alive and being with her sister is her priority. And then proceeds to... secretly take Osha’s place and leave Osha behind with the Sith? I just cant see anyway for the rest of the story to explain away these decisions.
@@Metaphorically7 Yeah, it's very much "plotitis" where she's changing how she feels for the sake of the plot, or we don't have all of the information. They HAVE done a lot of hiding of motivations, so who knows what else they'll reveal.
Qimir being hot was the best part of the episode
So based
I was CONFLICTED when he off’d MY GIRL and 2 seconds later was just a buffed armed, slick talking, slightly drenched muf*ker with a truly unsettling and unpredictable aura.
Me: 😭😳☹️😩🤔😗😵💫😭😭
Lol ikr!!!!
The force pull showing off his ripped arms did something for me…
best boy of all star wars 😍😍
Gotta be honest the lightsaber choreography really suprised me. Well done Acolyte.
But does it rival TPM like they were claiming it would be?
it's the best ive seen so far
@@edwardmccoy490 I say absolutely yes. Qimir's choreo is right up there with even RotS for me.
Best in Disney Star wars but still has some problems. Not like the prequels yet
@@edwardmccoy490 definitely. It's the best saberwork in any Star Wars imho.
Qimir was a badass...there...I said it
genuinely terrifying and charismatic
Darth zipper face , smilo Ren , Darth so serious or kill kill Jedi guy was awesome!!!😂 But jecki gave him that work!!!
Agreed
I don't think you know what the word "badass" means
@@cowetascore8476 I don’t think you know that it’s my opinion. Reason I said “there..I said it” knowing it’ll piss marks like you off
Although it was obvious it was him. I think the actual reveal is who exactly is he. He knows about the incident with the coven…it’s deeper…
I think it was still a toss up between the mother and him. I think the main issue with it being Qimir is...who cares? Like sure he might end up being someone that matters, but now, there was no big reveal at all. Simply that it was someone we've seen with our eyes, but has no meaning or value to anyone.
Made him a bit more mysterious. We thought we knew he was. Not some silly character.
@@GacMan47 Yea because the Sith were STILL hiding in the shadows so they have to survive in some way. A disguise is one thing. Qimir pulled off a Palpatine.
Maybe "he" is tranzzz jender?
I think it’s more impressive that he acted as good as he did with such bad story telling all around him. Between the plot holes and the awkward one liners I think he did a good job lol it’s actually impressive 🤣
A lot of people aren’t mentioning or noticing this, but Qimir proved to Mae this episode that it is possible to kill a Jedi without a weapon, just snap their neck
Technically, your arms are a weapon too😂
@@OrionInSpace yords neck is the weapon
@@codysias2265 how?
kungfu jedi man
I still can’t believe Manny Jacinto went from Jason Mendoza from The Good Place, to one of the most badass and fearsome Sith we’ve ever seen.
.... it's called acting...
Rip Yord and Jecki 😭
F Yord but RIP Jecki.
Yord sucked but yeah RIP Jacki
Both sucked.
@@lanebatts26 She was a Padawan and she stands in a fight with a guy that just bodied Jedi Knights like they were rookies, she was an extremely powerful padawan well trained by Sol, in terms of lightsaber combat she was absolute beast. However, Yord was very disappointing in terms of combat.
@@lionssinofpride7817 It seemed Jecki was flirting with some of the Dark side ala Windu to get some power to fight Qimir more evenly. However she let it get to her too much and the second she started losing control (The scream and the wild attack) is the second before she dies. The girl had huge potential to be one of the best lightsaber fighters of her era but her inexperience caused her downfall.
Michael Will Return
Wish Michael well. He is one of my favorite Star Wars reactor.
Unfortunately 😔
Hahhah the perfect youtube post credit scene
Michael is such a positive attitude in the Star wars fandom, please have more of him on the show. We need his voice to be heard. I'm done with the negative engagement everyone seems to be following for their wallets. Cool not to like something, people have been taking a step too far with their negativity however.
OMG I WAS HEARTBROKEN PLEASE DO A SECOND REACTION WITH MICHAEL BACK ON IT!!!! 😢 IF POSSIBLE.
They did not hold back this episode!
It’s really not that difficult to discern why May didn’t want to be arrested by the Jedi this episode, her master has literally shown up, you see how scared she is, she knows if she stays she’s dead, so she’s trying to run away, why would she stay to get arrested by the Jedi when she knows they’re gonna die and just prevent her escape anyways? Come one guys this is basic logic
exactly - she went to turn her self in and seeing her master all she wanted to do was to run. She knew the Jedi were no match for her master - she was correct
Coy was hate-watching, nothing will make sense, no even easy to pickup moments because that's not what his brain was trying to do. He had a predisposition through the episodes, as he made clear starting the video.
Criticism and preferences are normal and understandable, but this responses put people in evidence
I get that, but she didn’t No the Jedi were going to die. Definitely not all of that. She was 100% made a conviction to turn herself over because she chose to be with her sister. She chose the size of your sister. Now one episode later literally a moment later. She’s changed. I get what you’re saying but it doesn’t make sense in the timeframe and she made a complete 180 for her entire evil story arc now turning over good.
@@jordanglasper1064 no, we saw already in the previous episode how scared she is of the master. She was expecting to be taken to safety, and reunite with her sister, but everything became unsafe. It's easy to be confident when you're far from danger, but when the person you are most scared of is right there, many would lose nerve. It's not strange at all that she decided not to let the Jedi handcuff her.
@@vintersaga2177 I agree, but not when she tried to kill Jecki.. How would that make the situation better if she did escape..
RIP Jecki and Yord
Rip Jecki. Jord kinda sucked
Reckon they'll be back. Osha will really piss off Yord and resurrect him using dark side witch magic.

I genuinely think Sol may fall. He’s the last Jedi left that Mae needs to ‘kill with out a weapon’ and one way to do that is for him to fall - he clearly feels things much more than your average master and his padawan has just been murdered…
Also Sol 100% knows that it’s Mae who’s with him.
Mae's kill a jedi without a weapon mission doesn't matter to her anymore because the person who gave her the mission is trying to kill her.
The only reason she's with Sol now is to kill him out of jealousy and revenge for what happened on Brendok.
Yeah Sol isn’t Making it out alive , nor is qimir. I think only one of the twins survives . If anything if sol survives , he’d go into seclusion. But he’s probably gonna sacrifice himself and apologize to Osbo for whatever he’s hiding. BUT at the very end , we are gonna find the Master to Qimir
Sol is so dead man
everyone that saw the Sith will die
or else dumbass fan gonna cry cry about sith not been seen for 1000 years lol
they still think that the jedi council is watching Acolyte with us and saw the Sith scene appearing on TV from a galaxy away
She was going to turn herself in when she thought the Jedi could protect her…. Turns out, no. So now she is just trying to escape. She fears him, and rightfully so. This is a slaughter.
Qimir being goofy is just a Yoda reference - hiding the master behind a carefree, comic relief facade is pretty standard Star Wars. It's the whole reason "Darth Jar Jar" is a thing.
(Point being, I don't think anyone really questioned whether being too committed to the bit would actually make sense...)
The lightsaber fight scenes in this episode was cool! 👍
star wars has *become* silly, sure okay thats a recent thing and didnt start in 1977.
They literally watched the Star Wars Christmas special on this channel but now it’s silly to them….what a joke😂
Star Wars has always been silly. However, the writing has never been shitty until Disney acquired it.
@@officialthomasjamesPrequels
@@officialthomasjames ewoks beating stormtroopers, i recall people not being fans of that
Very funny how people like you have to tear down the OT to defend Disney star wars everytime.
Best episode so far. I have to ask though with a budget so high, and a decent cast of people, wouldn’t the show have been way better if they took their time with each episode, given more time for character development, the deaths would have been way more heartfelt. Qimir in one episode, despite how poorly they tried to conceal his truth, was leagues more menacing than kylo ren. There’s moments of brilliance here kind of ruined by underwhelming storytelling. 6/10 for this one. Qimir is top character, Sol in second. Jecki was also my favorite, I didn’t like Yord but his death was so brutal I felt so bad.
Apparently they spent $120m for reshoots the show should’ve just been cancelled…
@@TripleeVFX Every time they reshoot or fire people for “creative differences”, I feel like they had someone who tried to do something special but since it downs talking with their views they let them go.
@@effyontheedge5133 100% plus it’s Leslie who is directing it lol
@@TripleeVFX She’s running the show, but I noticed most of the episodes have different directors like Mando or boba did. Otherwise yeah her hands are all over this project.
It's because Disney doesn't actually care about SW. That's becoming more and more clear to me. They treat these shows like they don't matter, and don't want to put the effort into them. We could've had HOTD or Last of Us quality shows in the SW universe, but instead they give up 25min eps and the entire show ends up being a disappointing mess.
You gotta respect them killing of Yord and Jecki. So many other shows would have let the miscellaneous Jedi be cannon fodder, but let the core characters survive.
I mean to be fair there’s no way given the sith implications that any of them can survive
Well that and the character development is so bad that you pretty much don’t even care that they died. Which I guess from their point is probably why they have them so underdeveloped…the show is bad so I guess it’s as good as it can be lol
I would argue that ALL of Star Wars is like a soap opera. Not just this show.
It's not usually this cheesy or corny.
@@kevthepoet
"You love me? I thought we had decided not to fall in love. That we'd be forced to live a lie and that it would destroy our lives."
"No, I am your father." (Big time soap trope moment and arguably the moment Star Wars is most known for.)
"Somehow Palpatine returned..."
I could go on.
@@Whispie Honestly - the love dialogue in the prequels is famously painful lol
@@kevthepoet~ I've grown to love it all. Though I never hated it. I was a kid when the prequels started coming out. I was mostly just in it for the action and the occasional quips. But something about all the dialogue has become more and more charming with time. And many years ago somebody pointed out that it was like a soap opera and I feel like I've understood it all so much better since I heard that.
It surprises me how many people don’t seem to remember how cheesy Star Wars has always been.
Jecki was amazing in this episode knowing she was outgunned she took on a sith head on. Also I think theres gonna be a big switch up with mae being a jedi and osha being a sith. I think Qimir has a master, there's no way he would've known about the Sith unless he was chosen as an apprentice to a sith lord.
Yes he said he was searching for an acolyte, not an apprentice, that's him.
I laughed when she got wrecked
Has Star Wars not always been kinda silly? Besides the weird Mae/Osha stuff that episode felt like classic Star Wars
Yes, it has and this is something that I think even the most diehard of diehard Star Wars fans or at least fans that think their fans these days failed to forget. Star Wars has always been inundated with plot holes, silly stuff, and cheesy dialogue that doesn’t really come off that great. I think even when George was making those prequels, his major focus was really to tell a good story and have enjoyment to it. He didn’t really care that much about dialogue and directing actors which has been proven if you’ve listened to him in interviews. That’s why I always referred to the prequels as entertainingly bad movies.
Coy: why can’t we see the fight
1second later we see the fight
Coy: why can’t we see the reunion
1second later we see the reunion
Literally never lets a full scene play out before a complaint. Please let’s have a redo with Michael. We need at least one of you to be non cynical. Star Wars has already been a goofy space opera but it’s kool to be negative for literally no reason🙄
Post rant: Qimir is the hottest Sith I’ve ever seen🫶🏾🥵
This frustrated me so much tbh! They kept saying "x better not happen" and then it didn't end up happening, so just have some patience and watch the show instead of being so pessimistic lol
I'm wondering if Qimir is even in total control of himself. Maybe who he is isn't what Sol sensed as "familiar", but the power and person controlling him instead. Mother Anaseya would know all of the history with Sol, and Qimir says the Master "collects people." He could just be part of her collection, all the while believing himself to be the Master.
I miss Michael
Yes, of all the episodes to miss.
He would've been more positive, probably
@@daurydavis3983 The show sucks no doubt but it’s still Star Wars and something to watch, I do agree Michael would have been more positive about it
@@daurydavis3983 He woulda been losing his fuckin mind lol! :( I NEED HIM.
man i for sure thought jecki could’ve been the next new gen young Ahsoka
This reactions, and especially Greg seems like he’s trying to hop on the bandwagon and nitpick every single thing. Basic things don’t need to be explicitly explained and most of this stuff isn’t even objectively new
seemed like they enjoyed it, nothing wrong with having critiques
@@tomclaydon92it didn’t come off like that to me despite them saying they’re “trying”. And yes real criticism is fine and necessary but I was more so talking about the multiple times they nitpick and just act ignorant. For example when they said “what’s this guys objective? Why does he keep leaving the fights” when it’s obvious to find Mae. Or similarly when they didn’t understand why she was trying to run away after saying she’d turn herself in. Or when they were questioning why Yord would even pay attention to someone’s fighting style in combat as if that doesn’t happen literally all the time throughout Star Wars. Those are some examples of the basic little things that shouldn’t need explaining but they seem to have a problem with
Ki-Adi-Mundi says that there hasn't been a Sith seen in 1000 years or something of that nature and, as of this episode, he still hasn't seen one. So, it really depends on what Sol reports or how the rest of the show goes down. We've already seen the Jedi covering things up, so even if Sol reports seeing a Sith, I can absolutely believe that it gets covered up. Especially since, dark side users with red lightsabers don't automatically mean Sith. I mean, they questioned whether Maul was a Sith after all.
I agree the Jedi have pretty much admitted to optics lol 😂 they will cover this up since it makes them look weaker
Mae also could kill him.
He’d report it to the counsel 100% atleast. Even if they ACT like the Sith are extinct they know they aren’t which ruins the 6 Star Wars movies,
Palpatines plan would be found out, No Darth Vader, No empire, No Luke. This show literally just broke Star Wars lol
@@thecrimsomcardyugioh9810 it really didn't lol episode 6 isn't even out and ur acting like it is.
@@Greenhawk4 Do you really think the Jedi counsel wouldn’t find out? How many Jedi were killed by the force and lightsaber wounds? There would be a ripple in the force. Come on lol have you watched the movies? This is 100 years after the Sith had gone “extinct” and now all of a sudden there’s a Sith? Whatever happens in the next episode, the lore is broken. 8 Jedi KILLED by the someone using the dark side of the force, the counsel already would know! Master Yoda couldn’t feel 8 Jedi! Being mowed down by 1 guy using Sith powers? Come on lol
I knew from start before this episode every jedi in that forest was going to die
Well, they never fought an evil force user before. Haven't seen a Sith in how long and never fought someone as aggressive and unpredictable as him.
not really a surprise, 4 named characters and a bunch of red shirts
Yet, was unprepared for how they would die.
But you didn't know for sure, unless you'd read the script
It reminded me a bit of the fan film from some years ago ... "Darth Maul: Apprentice"
Mae surrendered because she wanted Osha to go back and they could be one person again. When Osha wasn't for that, she didn't care anymore.
The lightsaber duels were amazing
I don’t think Star Wars diehards realize Star Wars was NEVER HIGH ART! it was revolutionary in many ways, but man it was always campy with laughable dialogue, major plot holes and leaps in plot logic… Star Wars’ current haters are reminiscing about a past era that never was
100%
hear hear
As a diehard fan myself, even I am able to recognize that this franchise is filled with some of the same critiques that the acolyte has. Just the other day some supposed “fan” really tried to make the point that the Jedi not sensing Qimir showed how bad they are and how badly written the show is. That very “fan” for some reason failed to realize that that has already happened once before. In the prequels when the Jedi are all sat around Palpatine they are just not sensing him at all. So yeah, Star Wars has always had this kind of stuff.
That doesn’t mean we should accept mediocre content and treat it like it’s amazing.
Haven't you heard? It's trendy to shit on star wars for absolutely no reason these days. Nobody watches just to enjoy the story anymore.
6:30
In defense of Mae deciding not to turn herself in. Her master is killing all of the Jedi. She knows there’s no way they can protect her from him. Turning herself in makes sense when he’s not on the planet and the Jedi would take her beyond his reach. But he’s there already. It makes more sense for her to run at this point.
Jecki’s death was the hardest for me to process! She went out like a champion! Smashing the mask of Qimir! It was hard enough Jecki died then just had to kill off Yord a few seconds later! Oh and Coy being there “surprise to be sure, but a welcome one”.
I'm SO pissed they killed Dafne Keen! 😡
Slipknot looking dude being a sith lord is tight
Poor Jecki and Yord….
NOT JECKI!!! 😫😫😫
The force brought me here, because CZcams Notification certainly would never
unless it's a short, then even three weeks later they'll notify you as if it was just uploaded.
It was strange that Osha had essentially NO reaction to the deaths of Jeckie and Yord. Like, absolutely nothing. She was practically looking Yord in the eyes. A guy she’s known for years, a friend, and there’s absolutely no change on her face.
That's because she can't act emotion out, lol
Her and Yord were on rocky ground, so I can maybe rationalize that, but her and Jeckie were looking almost like a thing for a bit there. So strange to not get a more emotional reaction out of her for that death.
She can’t fight or use the force she’s lame
Honestly I don't hate the show as much as others, but alot of it is wonky, kinda reminds me of the prequels (which I loved)
It's because she's a terrible actress lol
Welllll.....what did we all thinnnkkk??
My favorite episode so far, the reveal wasn't too surprising imo but I still liked it, I'll still wait till the last episode to have a complete opinion over the story
Saber fights were the best Disney had given us. Imagine if obi wan and Vader fought like that in the obi wan show
I think this Sith will turn out to be Darth Tenebrous apprentice before Plagueis the timeline lines up cause Plagueis should be in like his 20s right now, so Darth Tenebrous should be around.
Well that's if the people that wrote this show knew the history of Star Wars. I like this show for what it is there's some characters I enjoy some I don't care for. I enjoy the fight scenes, sith is cool but if he is a sith master idk how that makes sense really. Also that Jedi master that is in the prequel movies that is in this show, in canon is not supposed to even be alive yet by a couple decades I believe that's why people have a problem with him being in this show
This Sith is already a better fighter than Kylo Ren who couldn't even defeat Rey lol I like this show more than The Last Jedi and Rise Of Skywalker tbh
Phenomenal episode!!!
10/10 for me. Was that kylo ren theme song at the end
I know we all want to stay with the fighting but that’s not all Star Wars is, I like the story they have been telling regardless of the lack of lightsabers
The story has sucked the only decent part was the fighting so far
Then u have really bad standards. You can like it all u want, but I just can’t fathom how people can call it good when the writing is abominably bad. Like it’s literally being open with how bad it is at this point.
Same I really love this Show so far!
@@TimDaco how?
Finally a Lightsaber Stab that actually kills
🤣Darth Teeth went all stabtastic there.
No bacta tank then. Qui gon is satisfied
Everyone who got stabbed will turn out to still be alive 😆😅
He stabbed Jecki in the heart sooooooo, yeah
Sol knows its not Osha, just as the Sith knew its not Mae...its obvious. I still think Sol turned but was rehabilitated but will turn again. He was about to kill Smiley Ren.
Kinda like Cere. She has moments in the first game where you can see the dark side creep out, and Vader even says she would've made a good inquisitor
Yeah you can tell he has a moment before he gets up, you can tell he knows there.
This episode really surprised me. Top tier fights and light saber fights, brutal death of so many characters at this point. Standout episode really. Still Qimir being bad guy wasn't hardly a surprise at this point. He is good villain in this Episode. Its bit frustrating that poor writing is hindering villains to have their full potential but I agree what others have said. Qimir is more intimidating than Kylo Ren ever was. There's that brutality of Vader in him what we saw bit in Obi-Wan and in comic books.
I find going into something expecting it to not be good or thinking it’s going to let me down just makes it not enjoyable. I think this episode was really fun
Look Acolyte isnt a perfect series, first 4 episodes were slow and could have developed characters better for us to be invested in them. But this episode was amazing, credit where its due. The Sith absolutely obliterated the Jedis, lore conflict aside.
Yes the choreography was decent, that’s about it.
Stop lying mate. It was nowhere near decent. Look how they butchered the lore. It feels like they absolutely abandoned "the chosen one" for the sake of woke LGBT propaganda nor the writers and directors actually understand the lore. By the way, the show is cancelled. I felt so bad for the korean actor as it was his debut in Hollywood and because he really did a good job in portraying a Jedi in High Republic era but then again he's already paid.
@@user-pm2b47ar8dwhat is the "woke LGBT propoganda" of this show?
@@user-pm2b47ar8dWell the show is trash but somehow this episode is good as how it looks like
Yes she said she was going to turn herself in but when her master arrives she’s trying her best to run away and not get cuffed by the Jedi because she knows how deadly her master is and that he is capable of killing all of them.
1:54 not only sinister music but the Dies Irae, an omen of death, as soon as I heard that I knew some pretty important deaths were coming
Gonna be honest, the constant making fun of easily explainable parts of the show is kinda annoying
This!
Yup very annoyed by the constant ripping on everything didnt enjoy the reaction
I really dislike this constant necessity to be flippant about every show you watch. I find it tiresome.
Same
Yup. I was thinking “why don’t I like watching their reactions much?” Then decided to watch this and I remembered.
Mae said she would turn herself to Kelnacca... that was before she discovered his body, and the reveal of her master's presence. Surrendering to the jedis was no more an option since they were being slaughtered by the "stranger". In her situation, I would have run as far as possible, to gain time and reconsider the situation, at least.
7:58 "You're not in like a tournament"
My brother in christ he's talking about saber combat form
WHAT A EPISODE WAS THAT KYLO REN THEME AT THE END!!!!!
I’ve seen other people online mention it more 👀
Ren (the guy from the Kylo comics who Kylo defeated to become the leading Knight of Ren) mentions in another comic (a Vader one I think) that he took the title from someone else, so it would be really cool if this is secretly the origins of the first Knight of Ren way back a century earlier
@@tyrannapusandfriends6254that’s what I hope this is. If so, the show gets boosted up for me
Yup
No
Gotta say the snide comments the whole episode were really annoying. You act like star wars is masterpiece theater.
Master Sol is the sole survivor of the 8 Jedis that faced the Sith.
9:40 - He abandoned his fight with Sol and Jekki because his objective is to stop Mae before she can tell any Jedi what he is
what a episode this was man I loved. Solid 9/10 for me. Got a few more questions but this was great especially the ending
Sol & Darth Ezra Miller are the Best Characters in this Show rn😂
Smylo Ren* Get it right.
I really like Sol! I hope we see him in future Star Wars projects but I have a bad feeling that won't be the case
"What are you?"
"I have no name. But the Jedi like you might call me... BORTLES!!!"
Tarkin calls the Jedi a religion in the first Star Wars movie
Wish I felt more connection to literally any of the characters that died, but I loved how he didn’t keep any of them alive for the sake of plot, it truly felt like he was showing his full ability and wasn’t holding back for the sake of holding back, which I liked. Excited to see where the series goes, now that Osha and Mae have swapped places
“I wish I cared more about the Jedi who died” says the guy who discounted the set up of 2 fan favorites hating the prior *eyeroll*
the best part about Acolyte is
Qimir, Sol, and Jeckie
probably that tracker pet too, bet they can sell tons of merchandise
Damn Dafne Keen killed it in this episode. Wish she could've stayed alive
Wait a damn min.... He kills like 7 Jedi but loses to moths. And how is he a Sith? The Sith are only 2, Master & Apprentice and they are in hiding. But it's a Sith running around killing Jedi 100 years before Mauls reveal? How? who taught him? Is this Tenebrous or Plagueis? How does Ki Adi think the Sith have been extinct for 1000 years, if a possible Maul level Sith was running around in his lifetime? And where the f*ck was Sol while all those garbage Jedi were being killed? This just make the Jedi look like weak fodder and incompetent. How is Sol not trying to contact the Jedi Council and warn of the return of the Sith?
I think one thing people may sorta rage about lore wise is that this bloke mentioned being a sith (by Jedi naming things) but also that this series is not yet over and the only two people to hear him say that is may and sol. So here’s my idea: considering may is the kind to hightail it and leave without word or warning, assuming she survives she’ll just disappear. Sol, on the other hand, probably ends up dying and this sith apprentice is killed by vernestra, who hasn’t been informed about it OR heard him call himself sith. there, issue solved, now nobody in ep 1 knows bout the sith.
>>Sol, on the other hand, probably ends up dying
@@alexmuenster2102 we don’t know what happens and it’s speculation for a reason mate. are you just trying to find any molehill to turn into a mountain?
@@splatoonistproductions5345 I think he's implying that for your theory to work, Sol would have to not do the very thing he should do in the next 10mins of Ep6. So we shall see.
@@lockekappa500 guess we’ll see hopefully. At the end of the day I see him dying in some way and mae getting away and just hiding since she’s obviously burnt her bridge with that sith “master” and no mention of this master coming up to the high council or anything else
@@splatoonistproductions5345 Yeah I hate that she burnt the bridge with the sith master, and then completely turns her back on Osha in the very same episode.
Idk why people are saying it was obvious for them that the guy from the shop was Quimir… I had NO clue and was very surprised. 😮
KAM outrage is a nothing burger. The video he watched of was a rogue Force user who wouldn't stand a chance in a 'fair fight' against a Jedi Master and nothing in it indicated a Sith and neither was the term, Sith, used in that meeting. Now, if Sol goes back and tells Ki-Adi-Mundi about it? Then, fine. But, now? People are just piling on to find excuses.
🙏🏽Michael 🥰
If you've already decided that you were not invested based on the first 4 episodes, I'm not sure if you should keep watching. It's the writers' fault, but why are you still wasting your time watching a show and then comment that you are not invested. I don't get it, stop watching.
It’s content to monetize 32:50
Well why are you still watching their reaction if you know they aren’t enjoying it?
@@IanSmith2814 They actually said it was OK. But I don’t think any of them knows about SW as much as the regular guy. There has not been any Canon violation yet. Even if they were, Lucas himself didn’t care. But to answer your question, I do not watch Debby downers or sexist haters hating on a show. I’m looking for constructive criticism from people who actually like this universe.
What has SW become when the only fun we have watching it is when we’re taking the piss
I don’t understand the Ki-Adi Mundi uproar. He did not see a Sith. He has seen a cctv tape of a fighting force-user that Vernestra said was trained by a Jedi. It now depends what Sol will report back. I‘m pretty sure he won’t tell the small council that he has seen a Sith
I'm agree with you, people are mean
Besides Ki Adi Mundi is a high example of what's wrong with the Jedi Order its very likely that they would cover a Sith up
Then you don't understand Star Wars or the basics of good writing.
>>Sol will report back. I‘m pretty sure he won’t tell the small council that he has seen a Sith
@@alexmuenster2102 Because the Sith knows something dark and wrong about Sol's past and he is afraid, have you watched the episode without any preconception??
I’m so glad I enjoy this show. This was THE best choreography since the prequels. However now I’m even more upset with the choreography in Ashoka
I agree the choreography in Ahsoka sucked so much in comparison
@@shippendales8543 I always felt that Rosario was moving so stiffly. Of course I don’t expect her to move like animated Ashoka since that’s impossible, but I would have liked to see her move faster and more agile, since that’s Ashoka’s entire technique
BlueChew for lightsabers was so good 😂😂😂
I liked this show and episode quite a bit. I like Jecki and Yord, so those who said they would not care, sounds like a problem with those watching.
SW: Reva gets a whole B-story in Kenobi
Fans: Focus the story! We don't care about this side character!
SW: Ok, we'll give you guys the bare minimum on the back stories of characters like Jecki and Yord
Also fans: You didn't give us enough to get invested into any of these characters!
SW: ...
😂
You guys are so focused on finding faults, it's no wonder you can't enjoy watching any new Star Wars material. Imagine if someone was telling a great campfire story and everyone was capitavated by the tale and the flames and the orator's delivery and the stars above, breathlessly awaiting the next event... and then you showed up and chimed in, questioning the events and challenging the orator...
Complete buzz-kill. And nothing says "insecure nerds looking for affirmation" more than video commentaries acting like they're smarter than the creators of the story and laughing about how silly it all is.
Actual writers put time and energy and heart into creating this story. As did all the other actors, producers, and physical facilitators. There are young people at home, excitedly watching these episodes at home- maybe pointing out their name in the end credits to their kids.
I personally thought ep.5 was pretty baddass. Sure, I noticed things... like I don't think those trees would've fallen backward against the angle of the cuts they received.
But please shoot me if I ever become the guy pointing that out while everyone else is just trying to enjoy the movie.
Genuine question: If you don’t like commentary on media then why are you watching a CZcams channel that is about commentating and reacting to clips from the episodes instead of just watching the episodes yourself and taking it in? Why intentionally come here and make yourself angry then lash out at people when you knew ahead of time you didn’t want to hear other opinions? Most of us come here after watching the episode ourselves to hear other people’s thoughts and express ourselves own/discuss film because we enjoy it. If that doesn’t interest you that’s completely valid but I don’t understand why you felt the need to be a jerk to others and wind yourself up when you could have avoided the whole thing by just not clicking on the video in the first place. If you are not in a great place right now I know it’s hard, sometimes you just need to vent but there are other human beings on the other end of the comments section. Those people are affected by what you say. There are better ways to cope with emotional distress than taking it out on others. I hope you are able to find a more positive way to express yourself in the future. Wishing you all the best!
Y’all weren’t even this hard on The Flash and that was deplorable. Please bring Michael back one negative Nancy is tolerable but just like Sith the rule of 2 is difficult 🫠😂
This is the first honest review they’ve given this show🤷♂️
“Wear him as a suit.” 😂😂😂
This was an amazing episode but imagine if this show had andor level writing with acolyte level fighting. It’s a good show don’t get me wrong but it could’ve been way better. This episode was 10/10 though
I agree that if this show had Tony Gilroy's (Andor) writing, it would be amazing. As it is, it has too many plot holes and inconsistent character actions to have me enjoy it beyond the action scenes. One test I have is to binge watch a series' episodes back-to-back and if they still work, it passes the good writing test. With weekly episode drops, it's easy to forget or overlay the current episode over what happened prior. Andor completely passes this test but with the Acolyte, it highlights the weaknesses in the writing.
The executive producer said she was interested in hearing feedback for future seasons once this was done
I know she's in heavy makeup so it makes doubling even easier but I'm reminded I NEED Dafne Keen to appear in Deadpool & Wolverine for a fight scene!!!
I think she was going to surrender but then when her master showed up she panicked
So jason mendoza's acting is way better than everyone else.
The best episode so far.
ugh. hated the vibe of this. feels like more of a roast than a reaction.
Yord went out in the most brutal fashion possible.
I still stand by theory that she was going to turn herself in because she knew that she couldn't kill a Wookiee Jedi with her bare hands, panicked, and took advantage of the fact that the Jedi was her best defense against her master, thinking that he was nowhere near. However, finding Kelnacca already dead caused her to reverse her thoughts, and had her panic even more. She knew she had no shot against a Wookiee Jedi, unarmed.
