Star Wars The Acolyte

[DisneyYoda]

Yep a solid episode. What’s so bad about the dark side anyway? That seems like the cool end of the force spectrum!

On cripes…I’ll be voting reform next 😂

I do feel I owe the program an apology. Another pretty good episode.

[DisneyYoda]

Hmmm... this was a step back for me... I do have questions...

So, what was it that they did that was so bad that Torbin meditated on it for years then killed himself? His biggest desire was to...'go home' cos he didn't like the botany part of the Jedi job description? It doesn't seem that he did anything particularly bad.

Why exactly did Sol kill the mother? She starts to turn into smoke and in goes the light sabre. Is that the big bad they did? He jumped the gun?

So, the witches possessed the wookie and when they were 'ejected' they ALL died? Huh!

Nope...the witches/twins storyline is just really weak for me. That's a shame cos I really enjoyed the last couple of episodes. It's a a house with some very nice rooms but it's built on very dodgy foundations.

BTW - Anyone else watched the Charlie Hopkinson deep fake Jedi reaction videos yet? Nailed this episode.

I enjoyed this week's episode looking forward to seeing how it all comes together next week.

Glad you had same questions as me!

All the female witches (was there a dozen of them? ) all died when 1 Jedi took control back. Hmmmm

I do agree that I don’t think the Jedi were completely in the wrong. Yes Sol killed the mother but I think he thought she was going to hurt someone when she and mae turned to smoke

[DisneyYoda]

Season Finale - So many things wrong with this... light sabres changing colour? Selective memory wiping? Chucking in a couple of last minute teasers for no particular reason? Just really poor. I did like the fights though which were very cool.

With just one or two good episodes out of 8 the show must be finished. Can't see a second season which is a shame because with some better story telling/writing this could have been excellent.

Right...onto Loki Season 2.

It was a missed opportunity. Some of it was so bad where other bits I enjoyed. I still can't get over how terrible they made the jedi look.

I'm pretty sure though in regards to the lightsabres changing colours thats been in something previously(maybe Rebels or Clone Wars) the kyber crystals do change colour based on your leanings towards the force.

I loved the little look at Darth Plagueis.

Blaming Sol hid the rest of the Jedi from learning about the Sith not causing issues later for The Phantom Menace.

Highly unlikely we will get a season 2 but hoping they do something will Plagueis now they've shown him.

Overall I enjoyed watching but it's a one and done like a lot of the other series on Disney plus

She bled her kyber crystal by taking a life. Can’t remember exactly but when they turn to the dark side they force the change by bleeding it. I think it was in the Vader comic
