This episode is from another perspective, Sol’s perspective- not necessarily the Jedi - so like memories, some things are vague, missing, parodied - and wrong. So we might not find out what happened until all major characters have their viewpoint to have a voice -

I feel like Sol obsession's with having a padawan if it had been known from earlier in the season would have made the death of Jecki have a bigger impact.

@voiceinthenoise3357

24 күн бұрын

Exactly, we just needed more backstory to explain that Sol was restless and insecure about not yet having a padawan, and this desperation to prove himself or find meaning as a Jedi (his frustration with the Jedi council for not seeing him as worthy of being a master/having a padawan?) made him make brash choices and false assumptions that suited what he wanted. This would explain how he could have convinced himself, in the urgency and confusion, that the twins' needed protecting from their mother.

Episode 6 ended with Osha putting on the Cortosis helmet which cuts off her senses save her connection to the Force; since she and Mae have an identical Force-print, she is witnessing Sol’s confession to Mae via their bond.

Maybe Sol was taken by the Jedi when he was young (say 4) and Qimir was his younger brother who was a baby later resented Sol leaving him and their family and though he also was strong in the Force, had a grudge against Sol for abandoning them and him not being allowed to join his brother. Leading him to seek the dark side of the Force. That's my thoughts about a week ahead of the finale!

25:25 THIS is probably EXACTLY what 7 should have revealed. That in that moment that Sol chose Osha over Mae on that bridge/catwalk, Sol created Qimir and it was Qimir that saved Mae. Or even that the witches had somehow made that possible with their little group trance deal. The reason Qimir is as old as he indicates is because the witches did not die cause the wookie was broken free...but the wookie was broken free cause the witches completed their ritual of passing their spirits to create a new life...using Sol's inner turmoil as the catalyst. So combining all the lives of all the witches that passed their spirits to create Qimir would make him older than he appears. Making Qimir a mix of all those witches and Sol...which would explain why he is so powerful.

I honestly don’t even think Torbin’s motivation is written well either. He says he misses Coruscant, but why? 7 weeks seems like a short stint on a planet for a Jedi. Is this his first mission away from Coruscant, and he’s homesick? Does he miss the temple? Does he miss his Friends? They don’t explain why he wants to go back really and without context as to why he misses Coruscant, he just seems like a whiney spoiled padawan.

Mother Koril is probably the one that saved Mae on the bridge. Koril must have been the force that was pulling Mae away from Sol's force grip.That is why it felt so difficult for him to save both. His main focus was not trying to hold up both sides of the bridge. Koril naturally was trying to pull Mae to herself cuz they are both the "dark" forces in their respective pairings (Aniseya/Osha: light, Koril/Mae: dark), and Sol could feel less resistance with Osha so he saved the twin that he knew he could definitely save and wanted to be his padawan. Maybe Qimir, being a lost Jedi at the time of the Brendok incident, was attracted to the planet for the same reason the Jedi were cataloguing it. He incorporated part of Koril and Aniseya's forces into him when they parished which is why he has the connection to the twins and knew about their dyad. Koril and Aniseya's forces probably live on through Qimir who is using their dyad strength for his own purposes. Come on, let's see it! P.S. Once Aniseya and Koril decide to go into a disintegrated form, they are essentially "sacrificing" themselves for that power and can no longer return to their previous physical body.

I dont understand the issue people have with how some of fight scenes in episode 5 were shot. I'm sure it was intentionally shot like that. First of all, the fight is sort of being shown from Oshas perspective (sort of!) and so we're not going to see every angle and the perfect shots. We're going to see it through the trees and trying to make out whats going on like Osha would be. And trying to make out whats going on, for me personally, was intriguing. It added this mystery to The Stranger. We don't fully understand at that point who this character is, and we dont fully understand his fighting. I dont know if that makes sense, but i just don't think it was bad because we couldnt make everything out.

I've seen a lot of people complaining that episode 7 was character assassination of the Sol we've come to know. But this older, wiser person was the result of his past. If they had revealed his past to the audience it wouldn't have felt so shocking to see him behaving like he did. Plus we, the audience, would have had the whole season to watch him struggling against some of those old demons: of letting his emotions take over, of needing to save people, of being impulsive. Plus it would mean so much more to us when he learns that Mae lives. I think they sacrificed a much better story for the sake of having a mystery box.

@@xtrafunk I think the term is being applied more generally to mean any use of the force that messes with someone else's mind/will. Aniseya is clearly using a force technique very different in nature from the old familiar Jedi mind trick, but it makes sense to put them in a similar category of "mind tricks." The effect is all happening inside the victims mind, i.e no external witnesses can observe it. Obi wan's manipulation of the storm trooper could also reasonably be called "mind control." We don't know what that trooper's inner experience was... it might have been kinda f--ked up.

Not really.

I was thinking that Qimir would somehow turn Sol to the dark side, maybe to save the twins, but that would be him killing a Jedi without a weapon.

Can’t apologize for this show anymore. Gave it a fair shot and was open to it. I have never spent so much time trying to rationalize the story, decisions, characters and find the answer being: it just doesn’t matter. The characters have no depth and nothing pays off at all. The pacing took forever only to reveal what already happened with just a little more detail. There’s no way this season was written to be concluded in the last episode. Andor is the pinnacle of a Star Wars series. At every moment, you felt attached the characters. You know what they want, what they are motivated by. They make rational choices. The story pays off entirely, I’m not filling in the blanks. This show is exhausting to discuss.

I want to know the backstory of Kimur and Mae. Did he raise her? He must have for her to get strong enough to defeat a master Jedi. Or if not then how did she survive?? whats she been doing all these years. We know everything about Osha.
