    This is a 16 year old memory from the perspective of a traumatized 8 year old that fails to take in account:
    1. People say things to each other that they don't always mean when they're angry.
    2. The memory was shaped by Osha's negative feelings towards Mae.

    Here’s my prediction, based both on Mae’s change of heart and Osha’s increasing conviction that Mae is a murderer: Mae will continue to distance herself from the dark path and Osha will end up being seduced by the Sith master instead.

      I’ve thought about this and heard one or two people toss this out, but I don’t know. I see Mae distancing herself from the Dark Side, but I don’t see that from Mae? She’s still very fond of Sol, she seems to care of Jecki and Yord and she seemed disappointed that she wasn’t rejoining as a Jedi to go to Khofar.
      You may very well turn out to be correct so guess we’ll see.

    I liked the slow burn of this episode a lot. It felt *like* the more patient storytelling of Andor to me. Not at the same quality level, but stylistically. I get why folks (even at Lucasfilm) see shadows of Andor in this. It’s aiming for a more heady, mature storytelling style than most Star Wars gives, which I dig a lot even if it doesn’t reach Andor levels yet for me. But that ending reveal in the last few minutes? Dooooope. That elevated the whole episode, for me.

  • @Jeffjway
    @Jeffjway 3 місяці тому +2

    Guesses from me : I think the twist is that it's the reverse of what everyone is thinking. By the end of the series, Osha's anger and hate towards her sister and the death of her family leads her into the Dark Side and Mae's desire to repent leads her to the Light.
    Qimir is the Sith we see at the end of epi 4, but he is the Sith apprentice, not the Master.
    The Jedi were the ones that lit the fire in order to eliminate the witches, but the order to have the 4 jedi do it was a Sith inside the Jedi, Qimir's master.

    They litterally spent an episode showing us that Force Push is the specialty of the Brandok Witches. At Power of Two level, it was already sending people flying. That Force Push at the end of the episode was definitely Power of Many level.
    There is definitely a link to the Brandok Witches, whether it is Mother Koril or Qimir under the mask.

    I'm still not entirely sure Mae actually set the fire. Force wielders can manipulate perception and memory in a lot of ways. I wouldn't be surprised if the sith or even mother koril changed Oshas experience in ways she's not aware of or manipulated/controlled Mae. I just keep thinking back to that moment when the girls are on the bridge before it collapses. Osha asks where's Mama, Mae says she's dead, Osha yells "what did you do?" and Mae yells back "what did YOU do?"... I can't help feeling like Maes experience of that last day on Brendok is wildly different from Oshas.

  • @Vulcanerd
    @Vulcanerd 3 місяці тому +3

    I think Qimir and Koril are the easy, two leading candidates for the Sith master, but I wonder if it's Qimir over Koril for one reason we see in this episode. Other than it making some sense that a Sith master would keep tabs on their apprentice by being right under their nose and Qimir easily fended off Mae in ep 2, he also knows poisons (which, in and of itself, doesn't indicate Sithhood), but most of all, when Mae informed Qimir her plans to surrender herself to the Jedi and tell them what she knows, it was Qimir, as the Sith master, who knew he had to beat Mae to the wookiee and kill him to stop it.
    There was also the scene in ep 2 where, when surrounded by the Jedi, Qimir begged not to have his mind probed knowing that that would immediately give him away. Just some thoughts.

  • @thegreatjedi309
    @thegreatjedi309 3 місяці тому +1

    The Acolyte takes place a century before the Empire and the Clone Wars. Palpatine became a Sith Apprentice before he entered politics, and he killed Plagueis the day he became Supreme Chancellor.
    Depending how long Plagueis' species lives (however the dark side corrupts a body's natural healing ability, so practitioners tend to live shorter than average naturally, extending their lives via unnatural means), he must be the current Sith Apprentice/Master during the Acolyte. At a minimum, the Sith Apprentice in Acolyte may be killed and Plagueis would be the replacement.

    19:30 Palpatine took on the Jedi Council and dispatched all but Mace Windu in the first few seconds of their fight! I don't this Sith could do the same or worse--two fingers to get Osha out of the way and a whole hand to knock back an army of Jedi? Yeah, this one's gonna be a real threat.
    Qimir is being set up to be the Sith Lord, and I'm not mad at that--he's playing the bumbling/defenseless fool-type character Palpatine played when getting saved by Anakin and Obi-Wan in RotS, so I'm half expecting him to be the Sith Lord. That said, Mae's conversation with him says otherwise. I was under the impression that she has seen both their master and Qimir at the same time, though we have not.

    I don't care about a twist. For me, "twists" (in and of themselves) are the cheapest storytelling tool. But, I like the idea of Qimir manipulating Mae while pretending to be a harmless goof. If he is revealed to be a Sith Lord (likely an apprentice to a master) we will look back at these interactions with Mae and see the manipulations, like Palpatine manipulating Anakin in the films and the Clone Wars.

    This show sadly doesn’t even feel like The High Republic era it’s supposed to be. With the exception of Sol, Osha and Jecki, the rest of the Jedi don’t seem anything like the more compassionate, wise and open minded Jedi that this era is known for. Hell I haven’t even seen one cross guard lightsaber in this whole show, and a lot of the Jedi of the High Republic era had them.

      This show is at the very end of the high republic era, and the transition to the prequel era is well underway and has been for a while. Eventually hopefully Star Wars will go back further and show more of the high republic Jedi at their peak, before the transition is really underway. But this show is clearly set in the bridge period.

The wookie Jedi was clickbait and we never got to see any lightsaber action as they showed in the trailer. Then he is found dead at the end like wtf is going on lmao. The dialogue in this show is also cringe and comical. How does Disney wants fans to approve of this show?

    I disagree that Mae tried to kill Osha. I think future flashbacks will make this clear. My theory is Mae knows something new when she confronts Osha ("We're stuck here NOW"). She was trying to keep Osha in that room (instructed to?) so she said "I'll kill you" to scare Osha into doing what she (Mae) says. Mae took Osha's Jedi drawing and wanted to burn it, but the fire got out of control. (It's likely) we will see Mae run for help when the fire spreads and she will watch some version of whatever goes down between the coven and the Jedi.

    Personally I think Darth Grin is Quimir if you remember back in ep 2 Quimir overpowers Mae , when Mae is a skilled assassin I think Quimirs bumbling drunk is all an act ( just like Palpatine ) if you pay close attention to the dialogue in this ep his tone and inflection changes a lot from clown to serious ( just like the fantastic Ian McDiarmid did in the scene when Anakin confronts him in Revenge of the Sith ) but I guess we will find out next ep ,

    Not totally sold on Qimir being the main bad guy...he might be the Apprentice however, and the main Sith Lord might be unseen or show up in the last episode. Still a lot to unpack. As a further thought about the whole 'create life with the force', it may be where Tenebrous learned about it and passed it on to Plagueis, who decided to give it a go before Sidious gave him a 'bedtime snack'.
