In my head canon, most force sensitive Wookies become tribal shaman, not Jedi. It's not worth the risk to grab force sensitive Wookies when they lose 3 Jedi to the forest on the way. Wookies are a lightside culture, Jedi don't need to keep them down.

The Empire being humanocentric was an early Legends concept that was basically written out by George Lucas in the prequel trilogy. Even at the end of Revenge of the Sith when Palpatine has pretty much everything he wants, he still has two non-human aids with him that are the same two we've seen for a long time. Palpatine doesn't think humans are better than everyone else, he just thinks he's better than everyone else.

In some ways, there are sometimes members of a species who don't agree with it. We often see this in Star Trek with a character like the Ferengi, Nog, and several other species that aren't UFP signatories, but apply to Starfleet anyway as they see it as a good opportunity or agree with their principles even if their overall culture doesn't. I can see plenty of cases where there may be those of a species who don't agree with their government and have a force sensitive child that they happily give away to the Jedi to get that kid away from their culture. Plus, let's be honest, the Jedi had seldom cared who they abduct to become a youngling as long as they were force sensitive, as they will grab them at an age where they will not have formed their own cultural ties and will instead have the Jedi culture forced onto them. There are likely plenty of human bad fits in the Jedi order working in the agri-corps or some other mundane area simply to make sure they aren't running loose. The Jedi are in the brainwashing child soldiers business, so they would care very little where you came from as long as you are force sensitive and not from a dark side culture. Slavers may be immoral, but that doesn't make them dark siders.

@kevinstillman974

I always figured Wookiees are at least as prone to force sensitivity as other species. But their connection is more intuitive/ less dogmatic than the Jedi, who would fail to notice any kid not conspicuously floating building blocks around their crib.

A possible head canon idea for a zygarrien jedi. Since the zygarriens hated the jedi so much, a force sensitive child would have been an embarrassment or disgrace to their family, and cause for contempt. This zygarrien jedi would have just been fortunate enough to have parents who loved her enough to give her to the jedi

Right now I'm hopeful it reaches a level similar to the Fallout show. The Fallout show has some absolutely atrocious writing and CGI that would have looked bad in the 80s, which is even worse on a rewatch, but it's still great fun and that is the point of television. The Acolyte at least has enough intrigue and thought going into it that it's actually better on a rewatch, so I remain determinedly hopeful for now. I'm sure this won't end badly.

And we've seen alien planets in various Star Wars media, such as the Twi'lek and Togruta homeworlds where there are few if any human residents.

Generation Tech 826K subscribers I do remember the Zygerians, as they had a powerful and vast slave empire. The Zygerrians (Star Wars) are very much a lot like the Orion Syndicate (Star Trek), because they're infamously and notoriously well known for being greatly feared and notorious slavers and pirates. But it is always nice to see a fewgood, kind, and friendly individuals members of these two hostile species from their respective franchises fighting on the side of good. D'Vana Tendi one of the main characters from "Star Trek: Lower Decks" for example is a friendly female Orion who joins Starfleet and teaches us that not all Orions are bad.

Tasi Lowa’s background doesn’t necessarily have to be negative. She may just be from a family that had left Zygeria several generations before and abandoned some of the negative aspects of their culture.

Well, that's certainly a take. This sounds an awful lot like saying all Rodians must be incompetent bounty hunters because the one we saw was. Even if 99.999% of Zygerrians are massive dickweeds, that still leaves the possibility of the rare Zygerrian who isn't. Even if we assume they're all as bad as the one queen and her court (which is a bit of a stretch), why would the Jedi turn one away to grow up in an evil culture with Force powers? That's like asking to make a darksider.

I’m not sure what race this Jedi/Sith was, but they were aboard the Yuuzan Vong ship when they tortured the one tuskan Jedi, who became Darth Krate (def spelling wrong) and they looked kind of similar, are they the same race?

Thank god I’m not the only who caught that!😂 right when she appeared on screen I was like “what’s going on here”

(Here's me not wanting to spoiler myself this time but the thumbnail actually made it click for me 'Oh! She's *Zygerrian, isn't she.* ' I had this nagging sense of familiarity I couldn't place with her. )

I'm trying to figure out why each species has to be a monolith. Some aliens can be born off there home world and not have an allegience to the homeworld especially if the parents will allow there child to join the Jedi.

So when is a cat girl not a cat girl when she is in a Disney Star wars tv series.

A idea of how small the material is and how unstoppable a good man can be, ohh calm down man means people THE RACE OF MAN ON EARTH. A MAN ON THE MOON......

I should note that Tasi Lowa wasn't the only Zygerrian Jedi. Just 100 years before The Acolyte, we had Farzala Tarabal from the High Republic Adventures comics.

Her journey to the Jedi Order would be interesting to explore in a comic.

You know, I've never realized why people hate that the sequel trilogy is essentially a re-telling of New Hope. I LIKED that, they brought back most of the characters we used to love, and we found out that the galaxy hasn't changed that much. The refurbished plot was a shout-out to New Hope (as was bringing back as many of the core characters as they could) is the way I saw it. I saw the new trilogy as kind of resetting the stage for a new cast of heroes - considering Ford wouldn't stay, and how old the original cast were. We lost two of them, or was it three, during the course of the sequels - the real actors passed.) Honestly the only thing I had against the series was that they set us up to have three main characters; and in the last movie the two guys were only barely in it. I mean, what might have been neat is if Rey got captured by elements of the New Order and the guys had to band together to rescue her, or some other important personage had been captured and the three of them had to work together to free the person. Maybe though that would have been a better plot for movie 2, but the guys should have played some prominent role in the last film. I tend to think that this is a big part of the reason everyone hates Rey as a "Mary Sue" - not because she was exceptionally talented (her grandpa was the Emperor for cripes sake, he was one of the most powerful Force Users ever. And he was deliberately trying to find a way to clone Force Users so he could get a proper clone of himself.) Part of the lore says that the reason Jedi are not supposed to have children is because the child of a force-user is almost always more powerful than their parent(s) - and it can be difficult to teach an abnormally powerful child any sort of morality when they can make you "kiss" every wall, floor, and ceiling in the house with bone-breaking force during a temper tantrum. Imagine the "Terrible Twos" with a child that can throw you through walls when they get upset. Or maybe Mind Trick you into giving them their way every time. There's an old Twilight Zone episode I think was called "It's a good life" where this entire town is held hostage by a remorseless, selfish kid who can make his every wish come true. That's kind of what having a Force Sensitive child could be like period without the Jedi to teach them (and teach them that bad behavior has consequences with the power to enforce it). And it would be worse with an even stronger Force Sensitive child of a Jedi who can't compete with their own child. If Rey was a Mary Sue then what does that make Luke? He gets a couple weeks of training with Obi during transit to Alderaan, and a couple months of training with Yoda on Degobah, and suddenly he can go nearly toe to toe with Vader. And in RotJ he could have taken Vader, he didn't want to, it wasn't his Destiny. Somebody had to push Anakin into fulfilling his Destiny - and doing that was Luke's Destiny. Palpatine WANTED Luke to kill Vader because he knew Luke was stronger than Vader. I also don't quite get why people are angry about Luke's death. He died a heroes death, saving his sister one last time. He'd turned away from The Force after a terrible mistake, blinded himself to it, and managed still to Mind Trick Ren's entire army from halfway across the galaxy, to save his sister. That's pretty epic IMHO. At the same time he stopped Ren from killing his mother, and maybe forcing him to reconsider some of his actions. Brief note; the Jedi almost never kidnapped children; just like we saw with Anakin, instead he and his mother were talked to and ASKED to let Anakin become a Jedi; that is how it was USUALLY done. The Jedi would tell the parents they have two choices; they can keep their child, but the child will be untrained and eventually probably forget their connection to The Force; or the child can join the Jedi Order, be trained to use their gifts, and possibly become galactic-level heroes. But the latter would come with sacrifices. I can imagine that many parents would have to take serious thought about this. They can keep their child by their side knowing that their child will probably end up just like them. Or they can give up their child for the child's own sake so they can make the most of their lives. Do they do the selfish thing and keep their child by their side, or do they do the selfless thing and give up their child to the Order knowing the Order will do their best with them? Also "taking a child from their parents against their will is troubling and morally incorrect" - what if the parents are abusive and a danger to the child's life? That was MY childhood, my entire life would have been so much BETTER if I had been taken from them against their will. I might have actually had a decent life without them. Now I'm almost 63 and I'm alone. I've never been married, I have no children, and I barely know any of my blood family. I have to take daily medication to help me deal with the trauma of my childhood with my parents. I know I'm not alone in this either, I've met dozens of others who had similar, or even worse, families. Good, you mentioned the Wookie Padawan from Clone Wars. Wookies are almost certainly one of those species derived from human colonists that evolved to survive on their planet. Almost certainly the ancient Rakata Force manipulated human genetics to make us more adaptable then we already were - it was why humans were their favorite species of slaves and a big part of why there are so many worlds with humans living on them. Sorry for this long post, I always seem to get these ideas when listening to your show. I deleted a longer one for another pod-cast just yesterday.

I’ve been watching you for years and this is the first time I’ve commented (I think) I just wanna tell you that you’re the best Star Wars KZreadr/Content creator. I enjoy The Acolyte and you’re the only one analyzing and making positive videos about it instead of crapping on it 😂. Disney isn’t perfect I agree and I don’t like the sequels too much but all of their shows have been great to me! Never stop making videos. You have the most in depth immersive Star Wars videos on the internet! Thank for the entertainment lol

I can live with a fat Jedi, though. As another commenter already pointed out, there are different roles for Jedi and not every Jedi will see combat, so they serve Order and Republic in other ways. Corpulence is not a problem when all the Jedi does is working in an administrative role. Hell, he could even be a great spy, because who would think this fat guy is actually a Jedi?

Thank you for always giving a balanced outlook on the lore of Star Wars! ❤️

Thoughtful analysis of the show, finally. I'm sick of all these weird, highly critical reviews by dudes who clearly have something against women, or something. I enjoyed the backstory on the various alien species, it helps flesh out the show. I'm still on the fence as well, and definitely share some of the overall concerns (fire in space, etc.), but I do find that a lot of these SW shows need the entire arc of the season to reveal how well (or poorly) executed they were.

It's a critical weakness when one can't say that each episode is at least decently written. It shouldn't take watching the entire series to decide the time spent was worth it.

I love how this man is writing more interesting canon in his head by reading between the lines than the writers can express explicitly.

Thank you for your continued discourse, Alan.

Now I wanna make a Zygerrian Jedi character in SW5E.

I remember seeing at least one zygerrian civilian in the background during the clone wars season 5. It's possible not all of them are slavers aside from tasi lowa.

It’s really nice to see someone actually talk about Star Wars instead of the toxic fans making the same stupid points over and over and pretending to be Oscar writing geniuses. Subscribed

When organizations are high, they make mistakes....

The Zygerrian is just lucky she wasn't around when Anakin was a jedi. Her death in Order 66 would not have been pleasant

the quick little 40k disclamer is perfect

"I can't wait to see more of Kalnacca." Well... That aged poorly...

the fact that you think any thought went into these characters at all is funny

I get it when GL wanted the OG species and race lore a little more boxy. the Wookie cannot be a Jedi as Mandalorians cannot be Jedi and others. he wanted Wookies primary roles as the strong primal race. it's like marvel comics as The Hulk is strong, unstoppable force while Venom as symbiote nemesis to spiderman with wicked powers. Marvel have often combines these two elements as the Hulk Venom fusion is better than their counterparts. now turn Wookie into a Jedi and you get a Hulk/Venom thing going on on star wars and looses the value of what Chewbacca brings since you create a hands down more powerful Chewbacca and if that becomes common, then the beloved Chewie just becomes a Wookie grunt. but race wise it's not all bad since Wookies are probably natural affinity to light side of the forces. they are primal in a savage world, live almost as long Yoda species and a natural knack for justice and honor. But leave Mandalorians alone. they are too proud to be members of the Jedi cult in their own words.

0:05 ... Yeah, I think it's very telling that you have to open like that. I don't hate it. I just don't understand who they're trying to tell this story for. I thought they were supposed to have learned some kind of lesson about who their demographic is and who they need to be selling Star Wars to. If you want to kill a franchise, then tell your largest demographic that the franchise is no longer going to cater to you. It's not for you anymore. 😂

Thank you for posting a video that's actually about how the show fits into the Star Wars universe rather than what others are doing. Thank you!

Visually, Tassy (Tassi?) reminds me of Ambassador Delenn from _Babylon Five_ - very nice

I wish I was excited for any TV shows and videogames but everything just feels so shallow and empty to me now.

While most Force-sensitives can be found all over the galaxy of almost every type of alien species known to the Republic, I do have to agree that a Zygerrian Jedi probably isn't the best idea. Now unless the Zygerrians asked the Jedi to take her because they found out she was Force-sensitive, I might understand that. Otherwise, it's not a good idea.

The horns and the facial structure... maybe she's half-zabrak?

For me, there are 3 things I accept. 1. I generally like every new show or movie that comes out in live action. Because they try to give us what we liked in animation. 2. With legends, there was so much info that you couldn't include it in new shows/movies from the start. Slowly add it and correct the errors that the books created. 3. No matter the show/movie. Fans are going to hate it, because it didn't do what they feel it should of done. Maybe years down the road they'll accept it, but they'll still hate it for that reason.

She is not the first zygerrian Jedi that we have seen on Star wars, there is also master Tosan from the obiwan comic.

Tasi, I believe, is a hybrid of Zabrak and Zygerrian. Yes, Zygerrian's have horns, but they aren't on the tops of their heads.

I sure wish people would stop Retcon Star Wars, the movie by referring it to as "A New Hope" or "Episode IV". In 1978, they released "Star Wars". Yes, much later they released a new movie "Episode IV, A New Hope" which reused many scenes from Star Wars. But that didn't exist in 1978. But at least for those who actually saw "Star Wars", there is a significant difference.

@kirkdarling4120

The first move was "Episode IV" from the very beginning in 1977. I saw it the first weekend of its release. "Episode IV" was right there at the top of the scrolling prologue, as the movie was intended to emulate an old-fashioned Saturday matinee.

The show starting 150yrs plus before the battle of Yavin, it would give the series more wiggle room if it gets multiple seasons.

I'm finding the series interesting, especially given the includion of the Nightwitch Coven as a huge Nightwitch and Ventress fan, but there are a few things that don't make sense. We see Osha use telekinesis as a child, then presumably she continued to use it during her jedi training, so how is it she couldn't use it to get Pip during the prison breakout scene? Even if you went without using telekinesis for some time after leaving the order such a basic use should have been well within her skillset. As well, how did that fire spread so far and so fast given that most of their settlement was made of stone? My only real theory is that the jedi attacked the coven and killed the sisters, which honestly makes a lot of sense given their apparent guilt, but did they also start a fire and it's just a coincidence that Mae started a smaller fire at the same time? Did they detect the fire and intentionally spread it to cause chaos and cover up their crime? Idk, the fire just doesn't seem to make sense to me. As well, why would the jedi induct a nightsister into their order? This coven didn't seem as dark side as the ones on Dathomir but it still seems like such a risk given Osha is old enough to remember her past and her existing training, she's less likely to completely fall for the jedi indoctrination. Maybe Osha's story and age is what gave Yoda such pause with Anakin given their similar age when joining the order but it still seems pretty out of character for the jedi just given she was specifically part of a coven unlike Anakin who was ignorant of the force when he was discovered. Overall I'm enjoying it so far, I just hope we get sone more answers in coming episodes.

I wonder if the Zaigerian padawan was sold by her own people. Considering their history with the Jedi, they could have seen her as an inherent threat, and sold her cheaply - she then could have been noticed and inducted into the order. Much like what should have happened with Assage Ventress, had her master not been so busy fighting criminals.
