  • We're back with the most incomprehensible, terribly written show in a long time. This week we have to assume everyone in the show is an absolute MORON for any of this embarrassing clown show to make sense.

      Star Wars is known for having helmets... it's a pretty straight up Star Wars thing for baddies to have fancy or 'frightening' helmets, and for better or worse, I think this one is actually one of the cooler ones in Star Wars history... ESPECIALLY for a Sith who WOULD be looking to appear intimidating to people. It makes him look like a grinning psychopaths, and a Sith would think 'this is cool!' cause deep DEEEEEEP down, all Sith are coomers.

    A 3-year-old toddler was given a gift: a whole series of Star Wars action figures and he played with them in the garden for half an hour every day for a week. He uses a cardboard box imagining it to be the inside of a spaceship, a space base, different places. He uses a bush in the garden to make a forest scene. He makes a scene with the good guys and bad guys fighting by banging the characters against each other. His parents film him while he is playing because they are proud of what he does. After a week he gets bored and throws everything in the box and never looks at them again. Ladies and Gentlemen: I present to you The Acolyte. ( A better version I mean......cheaper too........)

      however it needs to be explained how it got here, in the book its a kind of secret project of Palpatine, and Anakin destroys the factory.
      It is in the meanwhile explained and showed as a material that absorbs blaster fire and turns lightsabers off on contact.
      The main issue is, where is the dam explaination and how did it get here worked into armor? Bc the main issues before the secret project was actually working the material into something useful.

    The armor that shut off the lightsabers is known as Cortosis, a rare and brittle EU/Legend material. This show doesn't explain what it is and expects you to just roll with it.
    I've seen people say that they're fine with it not being explained in the show because they already knew about it, which is dumb. Just because you knew doesn't mean the next person does. An easy solution to this would be during the Jedi's investigation in an earlier episode, a padawan stumbles across raw Cortosis and asks about it. They get a brief explanation of what it is and what it does, and adds to the mystery of why Cortosis is in play and who would have access to it? Then we get our answer in this episode of what that Cortosis was being used for.
    edit: Well, at least they mentioned it now in episode 6.
