It’s so weird how Jedi teach each other to be the moral police and in tune with the force but the minute something goes wrong, they’re the first to point fingers and throw each other under the bus. I think Vanestra is framing Sol, just to take the heat off of herself. You could see it in her eyes when she realized it was Quimir. The more I get to know about Jedi practices, the least I like them. As much as I wanted him to stay with Luke, I can definitely understand why it wasn’t very hard for Baby Yoda to choose the path of becoming mandalorian.

My theory is it depends on the "strength" of the echo. Like the stuff Cal Kestis and Quinlan Voss pick up/touch is too faint for most Jedi, but in a situation like the bombing or the attack on Khofar, there's such an instant, and violent shift in the force (loss of life), that the echoes are "louder" allowing other Jedi to hear them.

"The road to Hell is paved with good intentions." That should be the Jedi's motto for this era. They're trying so hard to not appeared flawed, that their flaws are being exposed. I'm wondering who originally sent the Jedi to Brendock. Was it Vanestra? She seems to be in charge of the investigation division of the jedi, if that's even a thing. The clues being dropped in each episode just bring up more questions. It is unfortunate that this show isn't doing that well.

I just thought of something. What if the real cover up is silencing the Jedi that knew about the Brendok incident? What if all of this is to cover up what happened because the Brendok incident would reveal parts of the Sith's plan and Mae is just a scapegoat. Qimir only reveals himself when Mae decides against going ahead with her revenge mission because Oisha is alive. Qimir's relationship with Sol is still a mystery though.

It's true that the Jedi shouldn't have entered the power play of the Republic's politics. Plagueis remarks this as the Jedi supported the Republic's policies as the will of the Force. He even commented that the only way the Jedi order could have stopped the Bane line Sith was to break away from the Republic and tend to the study and true will of the Force.

You are right about the hindsight. I've been watching week to week: First I suspected Yord, he was so straight laced and quick to palm his saber when ANYTHING seemed amiss (A Jedi doesn't pull her weapon unless prepared to kill), so I thought maybe he was mad at the looseness of the jedi and thought secretly they were a lie. Then I thought it was Mother Coral. Then I thought it was Mother Coral force wielding Qimir. I was almost disappointed when Qimir was revealed, until he started speaking with Sol and Mani is so good at the roll. I love that almost every guess I've had is wrong. My only issue with the last episode was they didn't address whether they found Newbacca's (Kelnacca's) body in the ship-hut or not. Wierd since he's the only Jedi that was actually known to be there. Or did I miss it? Great vid.

Last scene: Tenebrous to Sol "You wanted in live in peace. Instead, you will die in pieces." Slash.

I enjoy your balanced take. Keep doing it. The show should be rated on its merits or faults and not on a culture war. It does deserve props for giving us a brand new story

We really differ here. I like it when they follow the lore. Hence why i watch.

The prequels were a deconstruction of the Jedi, the OT was a reconstruction.

The series won't beat Andor :D That's for sure. Andor is a masterpiece, but right now, it's a solid. It could blow me away with the next episodes and this is so engaging. I also feel like the ones rating The Acolyte badly haven't watched a single minute. You said it in one of your other videos. Most who rated Andor, haven't even watched the show!

This is one of the things I actually really love about The Acolyte: it's too easy to say "[some group] are evil," but its never actually that simple.

I like that they are exploring something different. We know from the prequels that the Jedi are not so balanced. This little mystery serves to reveal some of the subversion and complacency within the Jedi as an organization and just how strong it was. The Jedi seem like a corrupt Police Department in this Republic era. I hope we do get know more about the other forces users, what happened to them, who did it to them and why. I for one am still very interested. Just why is it that ONLY the Jedi can train force sensitive children in this Republic? Until further notice, it still does look like the Jedi came after the Covenant for doing exactly what the Jedi do, train children. I wonder if the Acolyte is here to show us the degradation of the Jedi.

I like your take on this. I'm liking this show more than, Kenobi, and Ahsoka.

Not sure yet it is better than 'Ahsoka'. Those middle episodes are soooo good, and they can be enjoyed as standalone episodes imo. (Sure, the end has Thrawn stumbling into a "win", but we haven't seen the ending of 'The Acolyte' yet to say if it sticks the landing.)

Maybe at some point he would have, but at the moment it looks like he's accepted his fate and will face the music, at least for what happened to the coven. If they tack on the current events, they simply might not believe him. They might say his recounting of the coven incident is trying to besmirch the murdered jedi.

I would not say it's literally better than Ahsoka, but I like how some speeches in The Acolyte are more deep and make sense, like when Osha was speaking with Qimir on his secret planet, most of those sentences were pretty well written, which is shocking for Disney era StarWars and fight choreography is a massive step forward for Disney era, but after all, I am still looking forward for Ahsoka season 2 more than Acolyte season 2 because you have whole new galaxy there and anything can happen there. I am pretty sure they will waste this potential, but let's hope they won't. Instead of the Acolyte, I would like to see something in more distant past or future, this is too close to prequels and they are limited by that. That massive hate of Acolyte before it was actually released is stupid and I don't watch channels like Nerdotic anymore, I thought they are serious StarWars channels before, but now I know they are not, you are vice versa one of only few big StarWars channels who is serious and don't automatically hate everything just becuase it's created by "some LGBT woman" or something.

So far this is my second favorite live action show. Andor is far and away the best.

When he's getting in the water, stripping away his dark clothes, he's being transparent and vulnerable to Osha. Mae has never known her master's face and he's trying to do it "right" this time. He was carrying his white clothes. He set them down offscreen. We'll find out what happened to the coven. Koril probably controlled both sides of the battle so the Jedi look bad. The helmet will show Osha the truth and Sol will tell Mae his truth. Sol is not weak-minded so maybe he knows the truth and went along with [whatever Koril did] to get Osha out. Vernestra doesn't know the whole truth but knows it's someone else. Sol's biggest secret will [probably] die with him without telling her. The other three Jedi think they did something bad. Sol knew it was Mae even before they left for the ship. There's one thing that will change everything for me. If the witches are revealed to survive in the end, there will be speculation for years about whether they ever died or if Koril brought them back. Koril might be the big boss-ness and a tie to the Sith returning. Her ties with If it were me, I'd end the series with Osha and Mae testifying, Mae earning her redemption with Qimir (Darth Guns) expressing how she learned from her weakness, how to kill the dream. They plant the seed of doubt that grows dogma within the Jedi Order beyond recovery and have them fade into obscurity without anyone else knowing about Qimir. That's my perspective and theories. Destiny / Insecurity-Skepticism Deviance?

Suggested nudity in Star Wars 🤣

Thank you for validating my love of this show. Its really good and different Disney needs more shows like The Acolyte. (I also love mysteries in general.)

It makes me mad the reasons I hear people not liking the show. One person pretty much said they didn’t like that it was too diverse and didn’t like females being star wars stars. Even Bane took on a Female Apentice. I like Qimir’s character. How quick does it take a Sith Lord to seduce one. Not to long. I am hoping for another season where they explore more of the dynamic between a Sith Lord and his acolyte. I be interested in seeing the many trials she must complete.

I'm actually a big fan of the show who also likes the risks and direction. The criticism of this show always feels like that person doesn't get Star Wars in the first place.

When Qimir lifted his shirt to reveal the scar on his back, Osha asked where he got the scar, by which he replied someone who threw him away....then Osha asked if it was his jedi master...Qimir is quiet, as if they were worthy of being called jedi. Before in the episode, Qimir said he used to be apart of the jedi but he was thrown away. It could have been Venestra who threw him away.

I’m really liking The Acolyte. I think the set up has been great, I really hope they can stick the landing.

I dont think Vernestra is a sith but its very possible she was Qimir's master after we saw the whip marking on Qimir's back. Very possible for her to have trained him during the era she had left the Jedi. I think that would be a good solution, have Qimir either lie about being a sith, or just frame it that way because of how the jedi view dark side users. Its just his mention of the power of 2 being so similar to the rule of 2 that makes me think he might have become darth tenebrous acolyte of sith apprentice at some point, and have been discarded.

Lore and canon is decided by the creator, not us fans. I understand this. I also understand that the overzealous fanboy influencers that don't like change or deviation, either from The New Hope Era or the Phantom Menace Era, are dead set on forcing their stagnant views on their followers. I'll admit that I felt this way because I was focused on a continuation of the same tale with the same characters. Movies like Rogue One and Solo changed that. I've even grudgingly accepted the Force Awakens Era. Andor and this still tie in to the universe, but the standalone storylines should remind fans that the SW universe has a myriad of stories to be told, and they don't have to follow canon exactly. Personally, it gives some mystery back to the Force. There's been such a push to explain Dark and Light, and for it to be understood, the sudden unknown events in this show and Ahsoka, are making the "magic" of the Force and it's influence of individuals, a curiosity again.

I think Qimir is Darth Venomous manipulated by Tenebrous from a Bith to a human looking being.

This show is only building on the disillusionment of Luke in TLJ. You look back and the Jedi aren’t the gleaming beacons of hope they were built up to be.

If you are old like me, for years, the only Jedi we knew existed were Obi Wan and Yoda. That is who we believed they all were- wise, patient, grandfatherly monks with laser swords and magic powers. The prequels created a whole new reality that us OTers could never have even imagined. Wait, Sam Jackson- Jules Winnfield- is a muthahf*ckin Jedi? 🤯

Nothing more Star Wars than extra content being written to explain the movies and fill in the gaps.

Definitely think the show is better than Book of BF and Obi-Wan, but would happy for it to be a one season arc and be done. The longer the story goes, the more probable it becomes that the Sith are revealed to more Jedi and they need to be invisible for the next century.

This is one of my favorite series theyve done so far and I think your take on it is spot on. It seems like theyre building up steam and popularity with completely new fans to Star Wars so im hopeful for more seasons.

I have to admit brother I really do appreciate and value your opinion and how you see the show more than most people covering it, I really love how you can also see how this "culture war" has effected the show to a drastic and completely unfair level. I also like the show and find so many parts interesting, yeah it has slow buts and maybe a bad episode or 2 but what series of television doesn't? All the best to you my man, thank you so much, I'm always looking forward to hearing what you have to say and it's just nice to know their is still someone out their that doesn't let clips and "anti wokeness" cloud your judgement :) All the best to you bro and to anyone else reading this, your all amazing and I hope you have an amazing time :) Keep up the amazing work my man 😊 ❤

when you only get 8 episodes you cant afford to have a bad one.

You skim through the crazy comments so we don't have to. Thank you for your service.

Cant wait for the flashbacks episode im sure the jedi did not kill the witches without a good reason

"the Sith have been extinct for a millinia." That's the quote that had wookiepedia changed and certain fans crying foul. Without the mistake and cover up, they wouldn't have a respect argument, but that's not what happened

In Episode 4 Vernestra does tell Sol in that briefing about Mae is that she’s concerned that something is happening that could tip the scales.

Roe is pretty intimidating. Well done character so far.

I love your reviews of the Acolyte, always extremely well thought out and thought provoking, and also at times amusing. That being said, PLEASE stop giving the “culture wars “ and the people who shat on this series ANY airtime or thought. They are taking away from this series, and the soul of Star Wars. They are taking away from us enjoying these series. Screw rhem. Let them stew in their little caves of hate and stupidity and waste their OWN lives thinking about that crap. The Acolyte is a good show, it has covered some very dark topics and I personally don’t think it’s made for children at all. I am very much looking forward to the remaining episodes AND hopefully for a second season. This era in the Star Wars timeline deserves so much more attention.

It felt pretty obvious to me that Sol knew it was Mae the whole time and was stringing her along.

If Sol outmatched Qimir at full rage, what was the plan to take all four Jedi masters out, one-by-one? There's no way Osha could've taken Sol on with her knives. Sol wouldn't have fallen for the death that befell Indara. Was it the dyad? Did Qimir see into the Force and know this was the path to take? Not sure why there was an accusation made at Sol. The Jedi of this era don't seem to use their Force abilities. I'm assuming that Qimir did more than take Osha's word for what happened on Brendok, why she isn't scarred or burned? Someone had to save her, judging by Sol saving Mae, that pit was deep. Someone used their abilities to grab Mae. Someone who cared..
