Didn't you hear? It killed Star Wars

dapper spruce
#

If this killed Star Wars then Star Wars was dead when they released BoBF, Ahsoka or Kenobi

star wars was killed in 1977

Dude looks finished

mossy stag
#

lmao

lean shard
#

wait

#

which one had the tattoo in the first 2 episodes

mossy stag
#

But yeah there's a lot more to what happened in the fortress. Mae's fire didn't kill the people upstairs, and I don't think she directly had anything to do with the reactor exploding.

lean shard
#

alright so no bait and switch plot twist then

#

but yeah i think theres gonna be some other flashback/plot twist where it turns out something bad happened upstairs

#

that was unrelated to the fire

mossy stag
#

For sure

(It's the Sith Lord)

#

When Osha wakes up on the Jedi ship, in the background Torbin's face is messed up, which we see the scars from when he's an adult. So we've only seen what happened from Osha's direct POV.

lean shard
#

plus torbin feels guilt so something (probably an accident) happened

lean shard
#

bad eye, he lost it

(Not Torbin's he lost one)

Ayyyy

witches in star wars don't use the force!! They use green magic!!!!!

It's super obvious that the "fire" is a red herring. Yet all the comments on twitter

Wtf I was told this episode would kill Star Wars, why tf isn’t it dead yet???

white kindle
#

Hahahahahahahahaha

#

The force is female my ass!!!

#

Star Wars is destroyed!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

#

This episode was okay but it's my favourite so far

#

It's stronger than the first two though I noticed quite a few weak points.

#

This was just a different interpretation of the force

#

It's still the same

#

This changes nothing except making a new POV on it

#

I cannot wait for the trasnphobic/sexist/whatever people to react to this episode.

#

Ok just watched Theory's review. He's got a point that this goes against what we've known in the past - in a way it does. I just think this show is being overhated. I've enjoyed it so far, despite the controversy surrounding it versus prior Star Wars lore.

obsidian basin
#

haven’t watched the new ep yet

#

what would you guys rate it

white kindle
# obsidian basin what would you guys rate it

7 or 6.5 out of 10. It was enjoyable and better than the last episode, but the quality is all over the place still. It wasn't the most noticeable for me, though. Besides the whole force controversy, which you'll understand when you watch it, the episode was fun.

#

I'd recommend you ignore some of your prior Star Wars knowledge if you really want to go in this with an open mind.

#

I’d recommend you ignore some of your prior star wars knowledge if you want really want to go in this with an open mind

#

A quote to be pined

#

Yeah bro forget everything you know about star wars if you want to enjoy this

So clearly a 7/10

#

Fucking christ lmao

Whatz try not to fall for and promote outrage culture challenge (impossible)

"outrage culture"

#

When it dogshit

#

The writing was awfull from the start and it has nothing to do with outrage culture

like there's good criticism i.e. bad writing, poor acting, etc, but criticisms such as this are embarrassing

#

even in Disney Star Wars it has been done before and actually worked

#

lmao

#

not the too dark complaint again

#

also

#

Star Wars fans don't be sexist challenge: impossible

#

however you format that thing

lament peak
#

The new episode was kinda mid ngl

#

Nowhere near the worst stat wars though

white kindle
#

agreed

obsidian basin
#

wherever did he go

#

rebels bad fella

obsidian basin
lean shard
#

in the fanfiction i read, yeah

obsidian basin
lucid glen
#

There has been way worse SW and you agreeing with the Forbes guy saying it's the worst thing ever is clearly disingenuous

obsidian basin
hot parrot
#

if you compare it to others star wars tv. Yeah its mid. If you compare to the global tv show history. Yeah its dogshit. Especially coming from such a big production

obsidian basin
#

= outraged

#

i’ve yet to watch it

lucid glen
#

Calling it the worst SW ever, yeah that's being outraged

obsidian basin
#

it is not looking good

hot parrot
lucid glen
obsidian basin
#

too hard

lucid glen
hot parrot
#

im watching it for Sol

obsidian basin
#

^

hot parrot
#

do it for him

obsidian basin
#

but from what reviews have been posted

#

and what bro said about “forget what you know about sw when you watch ep 3”

#

yeah

#

hesitant

#

oh well

hidden lake
obsidian basin
#

i see

lucid glen
#

It's almost like SW fans make shit up to fuel the hate train

#

This isn't anything new

#

Everyone should've stopped taking internet opinions seriously when they started making fire in space a problem

#

Anyway imma talk about the actual episode for a bit. The whole conflict with "Jedi are giving my village no choice!" is non-existent. They literally had a choice all along to not allow their kids to go with the Jedi

#

You could argue that the witches were meant to be portrayed as dumbasses, but that doesn't introduce any moral complexity regarding Jedi taking children into the plot.....it's just them being dumbasses

lean shard
#

yeah whoever thinks that the jedi were bad in that episode is an idiot

hidden lake
lean shard
#

me when the jedi are portrayed as good guys

lucid glen
#

"Republic law states that you can't train Force sensitive children by yourself 🤓 ☝️"

"We're not in the Republic."

"Uhm uhhh well you're still hiding kids!!!"

lean shard
#

yeah the jedi cant really take them forcefully because of that

#

plus its very much "we need to keep an eye on force sensitive cults" because of the dark side etc

lucid glen
#

Would've benefitted from some scenes from the Jedi POV ig

lean shard
#

we'll probably get that in another episode

#

shows the jedi pov in the disaster

lucid glen
#

L pacing

lean shard
#

keeps the mystery

lucid glen
#

Also isn't kelnacca or whatever confirmed for next episode?

Okay nah nah nah I'm thinking 7-8 if this quality keeps up

#

Fuck that 6-7 rating

lament peak
#

||I can't wait for the kelnacca and torbin fight||

#

Spoiler for future episodes

#

But its in the trailers

#

So

mint orbit
#

REAL mf jedi, not that goodie two shoes bullshit!!!

lament peak
#

It breaks the lore!!!!!

#

Or something

mint orbit
#

I cannot fathom how many stupid angles you have to take just for that to make sense

#

Glad to see the rumours about chosen one was horse shit too

#

As they always are

obsidian basin
#

guys

mint orbit
#

It's just some witch mumbo jumbo

obsidian basin
#

use the thread

mint orbit
obsidian basin
#

thread push

#

thread pull

lament peak
#

Also i think we can all agree that mae was evil mind tricked or something to cause the fire but the scene felt weird

#

I hate threads!!!

mint orbit
#

wait if you make a thread with the force, but then you become one of these witches after the fact...

lament peak
#

Or maybe mae is just a bitch idk

mint orbit
#

Is that a thread thread

#

Cool power

lament peak
#

But then mae is like trying to reunite with osha like a minute later so

#

Maybe she's stupud...

mint orbit
#

Plus Mae for some reason thinks osha killed their mother or had some part to play in this

mint orbit
#

So clearly they're leaving that dangling for pondering

lament peak
#

It was osha's droid that caused it

#

The true mastermind

mint orbit
#

It was proxy

#

Proxy is now canon (but what the Frick is a Starkiller)

mint orbit
lament peak
#

Making proxy canon but not starkiller would be really funny

mint orbit
#

They're setting up mysteries

#

Dummy

obsidian basin
#

not very well

#

it’s obviously kelnacca

lament peak
#

Also in the final scene of the episode torbin has his scar

mint orbit
#

If you're dumb yea

obsidian basin
#

the evil mastermind

lament peak
#

Idk if anyone pointed that out yet

#

Here anyway

obsidian basin
#

i just don’t find it interesting atm

#

lacks, something

#

i know it’s early

mint orbit
lament peak
#

This episode was kinda weird but i liked episode 1 and 2 alot

mint orbit
#

Why do people hate this episode so much

#

Thought it was the best of the 3 ngl lol

obsidian basin
#

i’m hoping it’s weird because we’re missing details, but even then, it just feels offs to me and i can’t place why

lament peak
#

Episode 3 is like a 5/10 and the others are an 8 or 7/10 or something

mint orbit
#

Ah yes the famous Acolyte criticism

lament peak
mint orbit
#

"idk why I hate it"

obsidian basin
#

mae setting a book on fire obviously doesn’t lead to an entire coven burning down and every single one of its witches dying, so time will tell

mint orbit
#

Brudda

#

What part of mae

#

Accusing osha

#

Did u not get

lament peak
#

The reactor was sabotaged

mint orbit
#

Mystery doesn't work if you're dumb dumb

lament peak
#

They literally pointed that out

mint orbit
#

Fr

lament peak
#

Earlier in the episode

mint orbit
#

Multiple plot points

obsidian basin
#

i saw it mate

mint orbit
#

With a blindfold on

hidden lake
#

Doesn't change that Mae still tried to kill Osha specifically

lament peak
#

The fire is the most obvious red herring ever

lament peak
mint orbit
hidden lake
mint orbit
#

What is the dark side

#

Never heard of it

lament peak
#

Based on maes reaction in episode 2 i doubt she did it on her own will

#

Or she was influenced atleast

hidden lake
#

Yeah no this screams dark side.

#

Maybe the Jedi were being baited by the "Sith"

mint orbit
#

I think it's just gonna be escalation

#

Only OSHA was de-escalating

#

Now she's jailed

#

At least thats why the jedi started attacking I bet

lament peak
#

The sith was probably watching the group at the same time the jedi were

#

And wanted to train osha and mae so they sabotaged the reactor

mint orbit
#

Mother would never believe Mae tried to set fire to osha. She'd insta blame the jedi

lament peak
#

And influenced mae to start a fire

#

And told the mother the jedi did it ig

mint orbit
#

That sounds like an option

obsidian basin
#

i was thinking it could have been jedi way before accusing the sith

mint orbit
#

The squid game guy is on fucking fire with his English and acting tho. Bro absolutely nails "holy shit this kid is a treasure and deserves love but I really can't get attached cuz jedi"

hidden lake
#

He still asks for permission for her to be trained after she's been rescued. It's peak

lament peak
#

Zabrak lady is probably gonna be important

#

Also that really old lady is probably gonna show up again...

lean shard
#

||torbin probably gets possessed and kelnacca fights him||

lament peak
#

||torbin showing regret in episode 2 makes me think he messed up somehow but it would make sense because they already showed him being possessed||

lucid glen
#

I doubt that was his crime tho

#

He probably does something worse in a future episode

lament peak
#

||and it could explain why kelnacca basically exiled himself after because he hurt torbin and regretted it||

lucid glen
#

Oh wait

#

You're talking bout him being possessed again

lament peak
#

||we know kelnacca and torbin fight during the time of episode 3 but we don't know why||

lucid glen
#

Bro probably beat him in a sabacc game.....

lament peak

Great character moments

More of jedi wanting to be attached but not allowing themselves pls

That guy smashed that role

im more interested in that band of jedi

#

more than that boring ass witches plot

Yeah how dare they set up the origins of how there's a dark side force user in the high republic era where there's 0 sith

#

Hang them tbh

# hot parrot Seriously , you find it interesting ?

i kinda understand where you’re coming from but at the same time i really don’t, try and imagine it from my perspective, i’m not exactly thrilled or on edge with the 3 episodes we have now but i’m not dreading the rest of the season either, it’s more sw content, as a fan you should be generally happy that you’re getting more shit to watch, even if it’s not EXACTLY what you expected, did you really think it was going to be an all out sith vs jedi battle from the very start? what we currently know is that the jedi are at their very strongest, but right around this current timeline (i think) there are a few powerful sith lurking around, give it time

#

so eager to hate

#

i didn’t exactly like s3 but that doesn’t mean i dislike it either, it’s setting shit up

#

perhaps it’ll lead to actual steaming dogshit, perhaps it’ll be kino

#

i’m a bit of a pessimist so i’m not expecting much, but i also get giddy when it’s something i genuinely find interesting, feats, features (i am an occasional cameo enjoyer everyone in here can cry about it) and plenty more i can’t be bothered to type out

obsidian basin
#

or was it the vibe of the show he didn’t like

obsidian basin
#

if that’s not something to look forward to idk what is

dapper spruce
#

People are struggling to grasp the concept of a mystery thriller, if they gave up the entire plot straight away then what would be the point

jade pelican
hot parrot
# obsidian basin i kinda understand where you’re coming from but at the same time i really don’t,...

Yeah maybe i'm setting the bar too high but again thats what i'm expecting from a multi-billions company. Im sorry but that witch plot is freaking weak and uninteresting. And I literally don't care about Sith/Jedi, I like SW for all of its content when it's good and original.

And yeah I don't care about having "new things" to watch if they are dogshit. This shit remind me of True Detective s4 trying so hard to match the energy of s1 but badly. Otherwise the jedi are great, Sol is probably the best thing, and I hope the "sith" delivers.

#

Look at Andor, they brought back Imperial meeting scenes but with a new approach, showcasing the inner working of hierachy and group work. Honestly that was great and interesting, while being perfected by decent actors like Dedra and Partagas.

lucid glen
#

It's always "the writing is dogshit" or "it just felt off" or "the show isn't interesting but I can't explain why"

hot parrot
#

The prison scene in episode 1 is a good example

lucid glen
#

A good example of what

#

"bAd WriTiNg"

hot parrot
#

of bad writing

lucid glen
#

Lmfao

#

Fucking called it

hot parrot
#

Why it is so hard to accept ?

#

It's either that or you dont watch a lot of good tv

#

and thats okay

lucid glen
#

Because it's meaningless, you're not explaining why, you're just saying random shit

hot parrot
#

They put under sleep some angry dude but didnt restraint the dude with a large tentacle on his head

#

she refuse to be freed to then struggle to free herself

#

like

#

this two thing

#

wtf

lucid glen
#

It's like you have the memory of a goldfish. Your downloaded internet takes must have file priority over any new information

#

I already explained why they could've done that

hot parrot
#

alright

#

you right my man

#

its peak tv

lucid glen
#

You're being silly again, I never claimed it was peak

#

More evidence why SW fans are incapable of seeing the middle of the spectrum

hot parrot
#

Well. It's hard to take this show seriously when Shogun came out like 2 month ago. The difference in quality is embarassing

#

I know its star wars

#

but yet , they could make an effort

lucid glen
#

This feels like arguing in bad faith. I agree more of an effort could be made writing-wise but it's not like they're NOT making ANY effort

#

Again, it's mid

hot parrot
#

No no you right

lucid glen
#

Not peak but also not complete dogshit

#

Such is the case with many SW media

hot parrot
#

It's just that, after the dathomir witches, i was expecting something fresh on the witches take

#

We'll see in the next episodes how it goes

lucid glen
#

There are differences in the behaviour of these witches and the dathomir witches, we don't know the history of them. They could be an evolutionary offshoot from dathomorian exocolonists, or just something else entirely which on the surface looks very similar

#

I'm just glad it's a Force sect that isn't Jedi or Sith

hot parrot
lucid glen
#

Could they have gone for more unique and established Force sects like the Zeison Sha or the Matukai? Yes

hot parrot
#

hahah

#

yeah

#

Remind me of the Bando Gora from BH

#

Witches again like ?

#

They could have go with any kind of force sects

lucid glen
#

I can understand wanting to do your own thing....but that sorta requires fleshing out the new thing

#

Hopefully that happens in future episodes

mint orbit
#

See tbf tho I see the potential in what you're saying, because I'm imagining a sect similar to Chirrut or something and how that could also bring compelling ways to explore that similar concept

#

I tend not to call a mystery show shit by episode 3 when they're still setting things up tho.. lol

white kindle

use the thread luke

jade pelican
#

L pacing

warped python
#

Im pretty sure Mae was being controlled its the only thought because any other outcome would be weird knowing she's as confused as osha

lament peak
#

Yeah

#

She was probably evil sith mind controlled

warped python
#

the pacing is slow but I also believe they want us to understand that there are multiple ways of using the force and people are mad about that instead of trying to understand where the story is going

lament peak
#

I didn't particularly like this episode but alot of the complaints being "It doesn't make no sense!!!!"

#

Like

#

Yeah no shit it's a mystery show

warped python
#

its a murder mystery

#

the first two episodes were about Mae getting her revenge... ok, we got the flashback in ep 3 and mae doesnt know whats happening during the fire

#

this only gives us the concept that she was controlled by the darkside of the force...

#

Who ever this darkside user is clearly framed the jedi for the murder of the witches and has Mae on a killing spree due to the fact she was surprised her sister was alive in ep 2

#

thats funny because as im thinking now this makes all perfect sense they fell at the same time of the fire but Osha was saved on screen while off screen someone clearly did save Mae... Jedi are framed and someone clearly doesnt like the good guys so of course there is a sith in the High republic era its literally after the old republic of star wars 😂

#

Copy and pasted Eternal twins from the old republic but downgraded

#

I really hope the KOTOR remake will come out someday

#

otherwise, I hope KOTOR returns in some form someday

Enjoy decently moderated criticisms

With admitting to good parts

#

It's not perfect but he actually went further than "writing bad" lol

#

The more the video goes on, the more he falls in to the clichés lol

#

Also I'm getting sick and tired of surface level Andy's thinking the twins are like anakins conception. My brother in Christ, NOBODY created Anakin. The force willed him in to existence. The twins were a FORCED conception, in more meanings than one. It's like comparing a miracle baby to a test tube baby

like yeah

#

cause it didnt

mint orbit
#

Honestly the most valid criticism I've heard is that the initial fire wouldn't engulf that fast because stone building lol

#

But then right after that they cry about the whole place being in fire

#

Like bro nobody said that one fire caused it all

#

You're assuming that in a MYSTERY SHOW!!!!1

lean shard
#

filoni fans shitting on the acolyte then its revealed that filoni helped work on the acolyte

mint orbit
#

I hate on Filoni haters but I would pay real money to watch that

#

It would be so fucking funny

lean shard
#

and the best thing is theres nothing that they can try to cope or excuse it with

#

hes CCO now

#

hell i think even mauler made a good point about it

#

no wait, wires crossed

#

Unlike the Ahsoka show, where people only remember a Darth Vader key jangle, The Acolyte will be remembered as one of the worst additions to Star Wars.

Interesting to know it was guided by Dave Filoni, Chief Creative Officer of Lucasfilm...

A bright future, indeed.

@mint orbit read the comments if you wanna see some cope and seethe

people are unironically blaming filonis wife

literally ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING is to blame instead of just admitting hes shit

i've heard that she ghostwrites everything thats why hes bad now

Near lethal dosages

and because hes CCO now, theres no one else at lucasfilm they can blame

mint orbit
#

Ngl this is exactly why the star warsy stuff makes sense

#

And why non star wars fans are being regarded

hot parrot
#

The issue also is both side are getting even more extreme

#

both arguments fall on deaf ears

mint orbit

Honestly valid

The reaction to this show has solidified my exodus from the fandom, it’s not perfect no, and episode 3 was very middling, maybe even below mid but jesus christ we’re 3 episodes in and people are treating this show like it’s the start of nuclear winter

#

Why doesn't this mystery show give me all the answers

If acolyte is the worst star wars media ever made, isn't it automatically better?

Clearly flawless fandom menace logic

Might have been a different fan film

velvet aspen
#

ok continuing from the star wars channel moving here lol. My main worry is that by the end, the point is gonna be that ||Palpatine and Plageus did their research and work for the perfect force being because these uninteresting characters "did it first." Which would suck because it would A: undermine Anakin's conception by the force and B: also be hypocritical since this whole time the main msg has been that new star wars isnt gonna be about the skywalkers anymore and we're moving into new territory||

mint orbit
#

Bro is prefiring his outrage

#

That's crazy

velvet aspen
mint orbit
#

Fax

velvet aspen
#

i said im worried

#

after episode 3 it kinda seems to be veering in that general direction so we'll see

#

i would love to be worrying for nothing in the end. that would be awesome\

mint orbit
#

You fed in to your own worry by the looks of it. Everything after "which would suck because-" is definitely starting to sound like being pre outraged

#

I also have zero idea why anybody thinks this undermines or conflicts with anakins birth whatsoever

#

Anakin was a complete miracle child. These twins were forcefully created somehow.

velvet aspen
mint orbit
#

I know you're not right now, I didn't mean to imply that

#

My bad

#

We shall have to see what they do with it. I'm enjoying the set up and intrude each episode adds so far

velvet aspen
#

its all good. 🙂 , my only hope is that we get a spin off about Jedi Master Trinity lol

#

i might be alone in this but that fight scene had me on the edge of my fucking seat. it jumped up to my top 3 star wars fights easy

mint orbit
#

It was amazing to see she's still got it for stunt work lol

#

That's the best "stair jump" I've ever seen ngl

velvet aspen
#

it looked so smooth !

#

like it was effortless for her

mint orbit
#

Fr

#

Hoping for many more great martial arts scenes

#

Definitely the highlight of the show

velvet aspen
#

im not sure why people are so upset about the coven though tbh. there's so many different force religion offshoots, why cant there be more?

#

there's one i forget the name of that manifests its force powers as orange flames! why is this a problem lol??

mint orbit
#

Me neither. Seeing the chant scene being called almost as bad as the vespa scene was a crazy take

#

They've clearly been setting up magick more and more. Why is this one suddenly so offensive?

velvet aspen
#

i mean, the only thing i can think of is the gay thing sad to say. i was watching this stream on youtube of people discussing it and little by little i started noticing they were SUPER hung up on the witch thing lol. then i felt super dumb cause turns out it was a super christian star wars channel i had no idea existed. Echo Base or something?

#

then suddenly i was like "OHHHH THATS WHY they wont let the gay witch thing go!!" XDDD

mint orbit
#

Ehhh, I checked a couple opinions that challenged mine and it seems to be that the chant is low quality writing (I mean it could be better than power of one, power of two, power of many but also.. it doesn't need to be) and the complaint about "we don't use the thread as a weapon" despite threatening to make a jedi lose his literal mind in a later scene

#

There's unfortunately plenty of "anti woke" clowns though as always

velvet aspen
#

i love them expanding the politics and religious aspects of star wars

#

i just want some better writing and less squandering of amazing actors like Carrie ann moss

mint orbit
#

I agree, new perspectives are key to star wars moving forward imo. We've explored what we know so much, that the best way to expand is to see it through a different lens

#

If they wanna make lots of slop, at least make it worthwhile slop

mint orbit
#

Just not present day

velvet aspen
mint orbit
#

And?

velvet aspen
#

it sucks that theres no future for such an amazing character lol

mint orbit
#

Okay TRUE

#

I think it's mostly because of her actions though, we haven't got enough about her character yet really

#

We'll learn a lot more soon I reckon because they're about to start unveiling what happened to start a fight

velvet aspen
#

aalso true. im just being petty about the jedi matrix fighting if im being honest lmao

#

i want more

mint orbit
#

Fr

#

Hopefully the saber stuff is still fine tho if it becomes a focus at points

velvet aspen
#

yea i hope so. i think that with the level of "shit eating grin" on the showrunners and actors demeanors in interviews, there is some good shit coming as the story unfolds. at least i hope so. because they're giving off big "im about to shut you TF up" energy lol

white kindle
#

Though I can't help engaging in any stuff on YT and whatever

lucid glen
#

Acolyte is standard quality for SW but people have the same right to ask for higher quality writing than the fans do for enjoying it or critics do for critiquing it

#

It's mainly all about expressing the opinion - "the dialogue felt weak at times" versus "this is absolute dogshit"

lean shard

Wanting more is fine. Calling it utter dogshit and refusing to elaborate is not.

I was expecting something awful

It's not even that bad

Although I thought it was less cheesey this episode

#

There was no combat so maybe that's why people didn't like it

#

I thought it was quite an emotional episode

Yea

#

Which is silly

hidden lake

You get it

lament peak
#

Ruined the chosen one!!!!!

#

Ignoring that the twins were created by two people using the force and anakin was created by the force (or maybe palpatine depending on who you believe)

velvet aspen
#

SWT didn't say night sisters weren't using the force, he believed they used magic and the force but then during a stream his friend proved him wrong that the force and sorcery are in fact the same and he conceded

lean shard
mint orbit
#

Now I've gotta know why

lean shard
#

i just explained that i didnt like miles because hes kinda forced and copies peters stories

#

bascially anything ive said about him here

mint orbit
#

Wtf that's extremely reasonable lmao

#

I've never seen you say anything remotely racist about him as of yet

#

Wait that gave me a flashback

pseudo blade
#

kek I dont think Ive seen the original

lament peak
#

I thibk miles would work better if he already knew Peter before spider man 1 or didn't get his powers in the very first game

#

Meeting miles and him getting powers in a few hours of gameplay is kinda silly

#

I do like miles alot though

#

His game is fun

mint orbit
#

I mean tbf memesoon and I were discussing the entirety of the character

#

I actually really like how the games did it. Felt like a slower burn of spider verses arc

#

Got to explore that mentor role for a bit which was awesome for a spider person because naturally Peter had to live for years with no figure helping him or understanding him

Oh for fuck sake

mortal reef
#

Using the force to conceive a kid in a place absent of males seems like it'd be a thing at least one niche force faction does

#

Cloning is about as outlandish, just with tech instead of magic

mint orbit
pale sky
#

I imagine in star wars the reason cloning isn't a big thing is because the force complicates the process a lot

mint orbit
#

Yes

#

Cloning has been mastered

#

If they have sensitivity. They decay

#

Nobody could work out the equation

#

The kaminoans only achieved it once it seems and so far she's barely showing signs lol

I'd wager that the witches used the force to kinda just... create genetic code. otherwise the twins would have zabrak horns and two hearts each

Yeah the mother interactions were really well done I think. The way she was adamant on it not happening, but when she sees it cause turmoil to Mae.. she becomes open to it and loving and supporting

white kindle
#

A criticism I agree with from one of the annoying fans is that the show couldn't decide whether the Jedi or witches were bad in this episode.

#

That was annoying

#

I hope the negative reactions show Disney that they really need to rethink their strategy about making these shows.

mint orbit
#

Whaaaat

#

That's literally the point

#

It's a weekly released mystery show for a reason

#

You're not meant to know or form a true opinion until you've seen the entire story. It's a common literary device to dangle said carrot in front of the audience and make them want to see the full picture

lucid glen
#

Nuh uh we SW fans can only see in black and white!!!

#

We need a bad guy to hate and a good guy to root for!!!

mint orbit
#

The whole point of the high republic era is that it's all nuanced and character driven Vs the war times of PT 😭 why waste that on good v bad

lucid glen
#

I mean the Jedi are still pretty clearly the "good guys" universally but there is room for nuance in this era when the only major threat to them is themselves

#

Until we see the Nihil on-screen anyway

Oh wait the Nihil should be gone by now......

It is definitely one of the shows of all time

Its def very interesting

Idk how I feel abt it yet

#

Honestly not a fan of how they did the twin thing with like them being on screen at the same time in the “16 years ago” thing bc i could never tell who was who until the mark

mint orbit
#

What, they look nothing alike tho

#

I thought it was an issue because twins weren't twins lmao

mint orbit

Kinda crazy to watch

The only diff was their clothes

mint orbit

When they're adults, sure

I like the shows (i cant think of an example) where its like

As kids, it was jarring how different they looked

last rain
#

This character is always on the left, this chsracter is always on right

mint orbit

Wot

#

That's a weird solution

last rain
#

Like fred and george

#

In harry potter

mint orbit
#

I literally have no idea which is which because they did that lol

last rain
#

They always had it so u knew who was who based on who was standing on which side

#

I thought the young twins looked super similar

#

And I was always like “ahhh which is which”

#

Its a super interesting storyline though, idk how i feel abt it yet

mint orbit
#

Yeahh imma wait for my final opinion. Rn it has potential to be anywhere from a 6-8 for me depending on the future of the season

Do u know anything about the witches?

Is this a new type of witch?

Theyre introducing a lot of force sects

Forgot about them tbh

Star wars seems to be answering "what would the force look like in the bum fuck of nowhere with nothing to sway their view"

No men or mfs around

And the taking over the Jedi's mind seems quite Dr strange too lol

My point was just that it's science fantasy so going "that's ridiculous" is only so helpful because anything can happen. Star wars has had stranger things happen than that lol

I'm not saying I subscribe to the fan theory lol, I'm just trying to be open minded because they did say this show would "change star wars forever" or whatever. So who knows? 🤷. Legends saw a lady essentially take a magical bath and become an immortal force thing XDDD

the scene where she teleports into the water to save cal from vader

at the very end

and assumedly, teleports them all back to the ship
