More horrid writing. BoBF, Obi Wan, Mando S3 and Ahsoka were horribly written. If Kathleen Kennedy can't oversee the products quality consistently, she isn't suited for the job to run Lucasfilm. In sports, a manager/coach running a team for 12 years, to have more failures than wins would warrant a change. Star Wars with good stories and characters is a license to print money. Doesn't Disney like money?

She basically was stalling with Qimir when she feigned needing rest, and wanted to set the trap (plus she needed to be able to find him in the first place). Now, weakly executed, but the idea of wanting to come peacefully but instead fighting your arrester makes enough sense when it reaches the point that your scary master is here and the Jedi don't actually stand as much chance as you thought. Being angered too by Jecki's attack fits with the fact that Mae is a bit on the unhinged side.

He just lets everyone get killed - Lightsabers can just be turned off all the time? - Not sure why Jedi can sense the two girls on the witches planet but no one at all could sense Smilo Ran? - Where is Tenebrae etc?

@@GalaxyGeeks My wife talked me down from some of my frustration. There are some forgivable bad decisions the writers made. For instance we can give Sol the Benefit of the doubt that he doesn't recognize Mae over Osha in the Force. He may be closed off with sadness and guilt. Osha is worse than Mae. Osha wants absolutely nothing of interest. She wanted to explore the galaxy and be a Jedi. She got kicked out . . for some reason. She didn't even want to deal with her sister at first. But now she wants to arrest her sister . . . . MAYBE because her conversation with Sol makes her think if she does that, the Jedi will take her back. But it isn't clear . . . Mae's desires should have been the easy part for these writers,. but they dorked it all up. Many people are asking, what does Mae even want? I THINK they are going for that her sister rejected her offer of family, so now she's just going to carry out her vengeance . . . but now for herself and not for the Sith. The Sith keep calling her vengeance quest a "deal" - why? What is it the Sith will offer her? IS the deal "you get to be an apprentice"? - Why would Mae want to be a Sith Apprentice? They are asking us to roll with all of these questions until they reveal the truth of the witch massacre. And its asking a LOT of the audience. The problem is, when you flip flop so quickly on your vengeance, its like crying wolf . . . even though her sister rejected her, she no longer is relatable. The BIGGEST mistake they made was for her to suddenly betray her vengeance quest in a delayed reaction from learning her sister was still alive after 30 minutes of walking through the woods. The hinged the whole plot on this decision . . . and it was too soon. Osha should have captured Mae with that stun blast she missed on purpose - and from THERE we should have learned the truth of Mae's point of view. All of this bad storytelling is coming from trying to extend a story to eight episodes when it should probably only be about 4 45 minute episodes long at the most Or at best a four hour movie. Whatever the Length of Kill Bill Part 1 + Kill Bill Part 2. Instead all these contrivances (not to mention some weird episode chopping) amount to about 4 kill bill movies. All boils down to this - They don't have ENOUGH story here to fill the episode request.

The twin storyline isn't compelling, this is a big problem.

Qimir didn't say he was a Sith, he said its probably what the Jedi would call him. Qimir also had cortosis armor which he was using to short out the Jedi saber, which is why they would come back on after a few moments. That's also why he could tank the stun blast. A stun pulse relies on disrupting the neurological activity in your brain for a split second, knocking you out, but Qimir was wearing a cortosis helmet so it didn't work. Also, I'm willing to bet that Qimir isn't the master, he's the apprentice. The actual master was present in the flashback scene when Mae and Osha were kids. He's standing behind the witches in a fully cloaked outfit, then peaces out when the Jedi arrive. Qimir wants an acolyte as a step toward taking out his own master. When "nice guy" Qimir is telling Mae he owes the master and all that stuff, he's not cleverly referring to himself, he's actually talking about a whole separate person that we haven't seen yet. The master is probably Darth Tenebrous, the master of Plagueis, since he's the main Sith lord present in the time period of the show. If this ends up being true, that means that Qimir is Darth Venamis, the illegitimate second apprentice of Tenebrous.

That being said as much as I did not like the first four episodes this one was much better, though keeping in mind that the four previous episodes set the bar pretty low. A big problem is there is no character development and I just don't care about any of the characters, except maybe Dafne Keen's character and that's probably more due to the fact that she's X-23 more than this Padawan she is playing.

OK, the material in Darth Smiley's helmet/armor that disables lightsabers and protects from stun bolts is cool. Mae had every intention of turning herself in until Darth Smiley showed himself, and now she's back in fear mode. It was unfortunate Jecky immediately attacked her, further escalating her fight or flight response. This episode had some of the best fight choreography of any Star Wars live action, and it looked cinematic, unlike Ashoka. There are still multiple unanswered questions that they will have to address in the upcoming episodes, but overall this episode definitely made the series much better. That said, Kristian it feels like you are looking for things to hate about this series rather than allowing yourself to enjoy what is actually being shown. Is it great, no, but it is also not as bad as you were making it out to be.

The co-writer of ep 4 & 5 said they had to "split" the episode, it would've been too long as one, IIRC.

Yeah it was obvious they split it in half. But the thing is THEY make the rules! They can make a 45min or hourlong episode if they want to. No one is making them do such short episodes

Last Scene will be the reveal that the Zabrak witch is Darth Tenebrous she'll off Smilo Ren then take Osha as her apprentice.. Cue dramatic music, arise my young apprentice henceforth you shall be known as Darth Plagueis......... cut to black

The Fight scenes were AWESOME in this episode. Unfortunately, they were so awesome it made the weakness in the writing even more stark in contrast. For instance, why was Mae trying to kill Jaeki if she was going to surrender? Also, I think Manny knows that it is Osha who was unconscious by the gentle way he placed the coat on her. He is going to try to get her to turn.

So he can force push and fight Jedi but he can’t handle a few bugs?

There's not that many characters in the show. So there were only 3 real options for the master to be. Either a witch, the guy with Mae, or one of the Jedi. If it wasn't one of them, then it could only be a yet to be introduced character.

Idc what anyone has to say about this episode or show, just happy that I don't have to hear Kristian cry about the sith being a witch every 3 seconds anymore lol.

I feel like you were way too hard on this episode. Def stuff that wasnt the best but I liked a lot of other stuff. Manny's acting was great as the sith and he looks sweet and has a cool lightsaber. Action was great, Sol and Jecki were also great. I liked how they killed Yord and Jecki. On the other hand, the twins were pointless

they don took out bro with the Killmonger dreads

Kristian during this episode and previous viewings: KAM already knew the Sith existed (even as the holo video is only a video of Mae)! Then this episode: The Sith can keep his presence a secret if the wipe out the Jedi here). But, you said last week KAM already knew about the Sith... Are you going to miss with the stun gun again like you did last time?? /Osha stuns Mae/ Oh. Sith reveal: I was wrong... but, I knew it! But, I was wrong... but, I wasn't surprised! Best part of these reviews is watching Kristian winding himself up in a tizzy 😂 (Sol not knowing it's Mae is my biggest complaint of this episode, for sure)

Do Jedi title matter in this show? We seen Jedi master fall with ez and then see the Sith struggle with that girl Jedi who is a Padawan LOL

This not the first time this has happened in Star Wars even before Disney acquired it.

This show is going to take a gymnastic plot twist to turn around and make sense. I have no idea where the money was spent, for the length of these episodes it must be panning out at roughly a $1m a minute. As for Manny or Quint or Quantum of Sith, whatever the name is, he does say (and I assume this is the get out jail card) "you might call me a Sith"... and he has no name, if he were Sith, he'd be knighted as a Darth, so it seems he just wants to practice the Sith religion without actually being from the lineage of the Sith. Either way, it's so convoluted.

I'll admit, the lightsaber stuff was pretty good. Doesn't save this series from being trash.

Damn…… 😞I’m sorry Kristian. I feel bad that Star Wars keeps letting you down. Damn 😞.

If he really used the darkside that much shouldn't his eyes be yellow?

@4:36 min mark...when Mae walks out of Kilnaka's TREE HUT......the wooden door made of planks and tree bark ....CLOSED ELECTRONICALLY!!!!!

Loved Yord

6:49 😂

It's hilarious to see the Star Wars gatekeeping community in complete turmoil about this show. Gotta love it! 😂

I’ve been totally on board with you Kristian for the first 4 episodes but ya gotta admit this one was pretty awesome - those battles were fantastic and they actually killed people off! Thought you were a little hard on the ep. Especially after it was revealed your worst nightmare did NOT come true - hallelujah! Lol Thank GAWD it wasn’t the witch… I know you had Manny 2nd and everyone else did but ya gotta give the show some credit for not making it the witch like you thought. I thought he played it brilliantly once the reveal happened and he showed his dark side he was pretty intimidating and makes a dope Sith… this episode got me back on board.

6:49 This was the look I made as well 😂. Personally, I’m glad they made finding Mae his priority during the fights. It was a good way to show why he wouldn’t just immediately kill everyone during their initial combats.

Yeah, you can tell that Kristian is over this show and there is no coming back. I almost want him to stop reacting to it because there is no energy coming from him 😂 Credit when credit is due though. That was a really good fight scene and even though the reveal was terrible, Qimir was actually a pretty interesting fighter. Osha and Mei continue to be the worst part of this show.

Agreed

Some of the criticisms are silly considering no one has issues with those same criticisms in “beloved Star Wars”. Yoda, Windu, etc didn’t sense Palpatine yet no one was crying over that?

What the hell kinda set up is this? 😜

They should have introduced more possible people who could be the villain.

Disabling lightsabers is a thing now?? Cmon man.

I kinda liked it...

I enjoyed this episode out of the 5 so far, lot of action don’t make sense but I will watch to see where this show goes

11:38 Kristian pulling a Jennifer Lawrence

Kristian has me dying, he’s so over it haha. “They didn’t even ask about the little rat he could’ve been out chasing birds” haha.

4:26 A lightsaber is not a Jedi weapon? WTF are you smoking.
