its just copy and paste the so called antagonist goes out their way to betray their former master its all just the same πŸ˜‚

fickle tide
#

just because you didn't like where the plot went. Doesn't mean the plot isnt moving lol

lean shard
#

plus theres still half the show to go

#

who says mae doesnt turn again out of fear of smilo ren

fickle tide
#

smilo ren lmao

lean shard
#

also

#

1v7 lightsaber fight incoming

warped python
lean shard

#

WAIT WHAT

#

ITS ACTUALLY KI-ADI MUNDI

fickle tide
#

yep

#

was in the credits lol

fickle tide
warped python
fickle tide
warped python
#

his grandfather

lean shard
#

nope its him

#

in the credits

#

(hes seething)

fickle tide
#

he was seething the whole episode lol

lean shard
#

invents reason to get mad at it and then gets mad

mortal reef
#

i wonder if the smilo ren dude is actually a sith

#

I mean, if he is... that does some weird shit, especially of any of the main cast survives and just... doesnt tell anyone that the Sith are still out there

#

maybe he is just a dark jedi?

lean shard
#

or a force sensitive outcast

#

or maybe just some guy possessed by a helmet idk

mortal reef
lean shard
#

1v7 gonna be peak...

warped python
#

bet it's not gonna happen too early in the season lmao

mortal reef
#

i wanted to see the duel!!! but no! cliffhanger!

fickle tide
#

anyway, I feel like I enjoyed this episode a lot more than last week's

mortal reef
#

yea

#

this is a somewhat better way of subverting expectations than last time
felt a lot more natural and not like... chucking away the saber immediately upon recieving it

warped python
#

yeah because it was a flashback... I'd be pretty surprise if someone like a whole episode dedicated to a flashback

warped python
#

wasnt talking to you

mortal reef
#

use reply function

lean shard
#

thats not luke!!!!! thats jake!!!1!

fickle tide
warped python
#

or just maybe if it doesnt apply to your message dont get technical and say anything lol πŸ’€

warped python
mortal reef
#

i like to follow conversations and context to messages
it is frustrating to see something seemingly unrelated and not being elaborated

warped python
#

new flash no one caresFinnSmile

warped python
#

it's a good thing some scenes were present day that episode lol

fickle tide
#

yeah, people were definitely praising the present day scenes in that episode for sure lol

#

πŸ™„

mortal reef
#

werent people whining about jacen's whole shtick

lean shard
#

probably because it took valuable screentime away from anakin

warped python
#

the transitions to the next flashback help the watcher

lean shard
#

anyway i expect the show will end with osha and mae teaming up to defeat smilo ren with one dying in the process

the power of one, the power of two etc etc

mortal reef
#

focus on narrative issues. the flashback episode gave pretty important context to Osha's view of her past

warped python
#

what are you on about bruh

fickle tide
warped python
#

were talking about the ahsoka flashback transitioning from present day to flashback πŸ˜‚

fickle tide
lean shard
#

ahsoka flashbacks make no sense

what are they there for?

mortal reef
warped python
fickle tide
lean shard
#

the literal start of the episode says "16 years ago" in bold letters on the screen

fickle tide
#

Heres your transition

lean shard
#

man live action ahsoka sucks

warped python
lean shard
#

doubt

mortal reef
lean shard
#

cosplayers did a better job

mortal reef
#

rosario really wasnt the right pick at all

fickle tide
# lean shard man live action ahsoka sucks

Rosario imo has got the looks, but thats about it lol. If I'm gonna be super charitable, maybe they were directing her to act a certain way, but she definitely lacks the choreography

lean shard
#

honestly i'd have cast ashley, disney has the money to train her in fight choreography

mortal reef
#

indeed

fickle tide
#

I think my Rosario blackpill moment was realizing while watching Morgan fight in the Ahsoka series was that the fight between Morgan and Ahsoka in Mandalorian S2 wasn't slow and stiff because of Morgan's actress, but because of Rosario's lmaoo

mortal reef
#

they got Mikkelsen in for Thrawn

lean shard
#

plus ashley even cosplayed ahsoka once (it was okay)

mortal reef
#

though lars already did live action stuff and didn't actually do any action as thrawn

fickle tide
#

It was just a fun low budget cosplay so I won't give her shit for it

mortal reef
#

yeah ashley could've pulled off ahsoka. disney has the money to get the good costume and the training

lean shard
#

of course it'd make a certain crowd mad though

mortal reef
#

what crowd

lean shard
#

probably accusing of whitewashing ahsoka

mortal reef
#

ah

#

yeah. whitewashing. an orange-skinned alien.

lean shard
#

"bro shes black in facial features!!!!1!"

in a heavily stylized show
....where in rebels she looks white as hell

mortal reef
#

...stares awkwardly at Tropic Thunder

warped python
#

nobody cares about skin color in these films the only reason people would be mad is writing πŸ’€ people are mad because their pushing the "Gay" narrative more in star wars

fickle tide
#

here we go lol

lean shard
#

make ahsoka gay

obsidian basin
#

aren’t togrutas and twileks supposed to be any race/ethnicity

mortal reef
#

I wanna see Ahsoka kiss Mon Mothma just to make them mad

obsidian basin
#

i feel like ashley could have played ashoka for sure

warped python
lean shard
#

no, 5 examples of a gay narrative being pushed

fickle tide
#

nah give us 5 of those reasons too actually lmao

mortal reef
#

oh hey its on Paramount+ now

hidden lake
#

FUCK i forgot about today's ep

fickle tide
#

I can think of 1 reason right off the bat YodaHmm

Like clicking on a source on wikipedia and it telling you to look it up, ffs

warped python
fickle tide
#

bro there's just so many of them I can't name em

mortal reef
#

Do you gotta go back to college just to learn how to cite your damn sources?

#

Oh... wait...

warped python
#

ryan kinel posted some lol with a good source of critics on the good and bad 70k viewer count go check it out

#

its just a long ass pod cast a couple days ago πŸ˜‚

mortal reef
#

I'm not sifting through a long-ass podcast for you

lean shard
warped python
#

for me ?

fickle tide
#

you know we're getting peak journalism right here KEKW

mortal reef
#

Watch it yourself, timestamp each of your sources, and show it to us

warped python
#

I dont type essays lol just watch it lmao

fickle tide
#

clearly not

mortal reef
fickle tide
#

link the podcast I only see short form videos on his channel

mortal reef
lean shard
#

you made a claim that disney has a gay agenda

i asked for examples for you to prove this

you are refusing to post any examples (e.g "they made thus character gay") and instead directing us to watch youtubers

fickle tide
#

it's giving... Mike Zeroh

mortal reef
#

even criticaldrinker can be more nuanced and the guy is about as three dimensional as a piece of paper

warped python
#

who's mike Zeroh πŸ’€ a youtuber?

fickle tide
#

You'd probably like him, he talks about, Kathleen Kennedy and 'woke' a lot

mortal reef
#

Don't forget Doomcock

fickle tide
#

I don't see this podcast, was he on someone else's podcast?

fickle tide
#

w8 i think i found it

#

I found one from 3 weeks ago

warped python
#

these other creators like "not obi wan kenobi and screencrush"

fickle tide
#

I'm gonna assume you're talking about a different podcast because this one doesn't have any points that back you up lmao

#

I thought this was pretty funny tho ngl

#

As much as Rise of Skywalker in my opinion is one of the most dogshit pieces of Star Wars media I've had the displeasure of witnessing... bro could have atleast pretended to have seen the film

hidden lake
#

I see tonight's entertainment is in here today

fickle tide
#

Rey... did get hurt... did get overpowered... and... did die

#

and was saved... by a man lol

hidden lake
warped python
#

but if you want one so bad just watch that i guess

fickle tide
#

if I go

#

"theres too many Sith!"

#

and someone goes

warped python
#

It cant get that much simpler 😭

fickle tide
#

"Name 5 sith."

#

and I go

#

"uhhhhh, uhhhhh, uhhhhhhhh, theres just too many bro!"

#

kinda makes it seem like I don't know wtf I'm talking about huh?

hidden lake
#

Lol that video. You're going too deep into the fandom menace stinkhole.

warped python
#

I said "people" what makes you think i know everyones name that im watching when i clearly said I listen to all good and bad 😭

hidden lake
#

Who's "good" who's "bad"

#

That's very subjective matter

warped python
#

"people" bro I like to listen to both critics and others' opinions on star wars

hidden lake
#

What are your own conclusions then

#

Because Star Wars critique has been plummeting in quality. You need to be careful in whom you listen to

fickle tide
#

Alr I watched this video. So in the video he lays out that Disney has more female leads than male leads across shows and movies

#

Which is, untrue.

#

There are 7 female leads in Disney projects. Rey, Ahsoka, Omega, Osha, Jyn, Barris, Morgan.

#

There's 9 male leads. Han, Hunter, Cassian, Din, Boba, Obi-wan, Kaz, Ezra, and Dooku

#

so roughly even

#

Secondly, he makes a list of all of the LGBTQ characters he can think of period in Star Wars, but prefixes it by saying that "During George Lucas, there were no gay characters." while in his list, he lists Cade Skywalker and I'ra Saa, who were characters introduced during Lucas's era... not Disney

warped python
fickle tide
#

He then says that Lucas didn't focus on orientation of characters. whatever that means?

#

Then finally he says the whole point of his video is that. "When you introduce DEI, you no longer get Star Wars"

#

Star Wars is when... no gay

fickle tide
#

he's a consoomer

warped python
#

whats wrong with just hearing out other people's thoughts on the franchise lmao, I dont just listen to critics πŸ˜‚

#

people like screen crush and their reviews is what i really watch

fickle tide
#

See, here's what I like to do, when I listen to someone make an argument, I listen to determine whether or not their argument has merit. In this video alone, this indivdual was factually incorrect on at least two of his points, and doesn't actually elaborate on what he believes and why he believes it. Then I go well, why does he make these errors in his video? Did he make them because he is ignorant of what he is talking about? Or did he make them purposefully to set an agenda? Then we go from there.

I don't listen to people just to listen to them.

#

That's why we have so many people who go around and parrot misinformation and make sloppy arguments for things they're been told to think or agree with.

warped python
#

well did you tell him that or just waste your time telling us instead of him πŸ’€πŸ˜­

fickle tide
#

I'm telling you that. Because you're the type of person I am describing in the last sentence.

hidden lake
#

That's why I've also been asking you what you believe in since you listen to so many people

warped python
#

I said that people are saying that disney is pushing a gay narrative how is that misinforming you lmao

#

Not in the slightest bit did i say i agree with them πŸ’€

hidden lake
#

Who even brought this up first.

#

I see what you mean but where did this come from

warped python
#

they were talking why people were upset with recasting ahsoka or whoever was in it then i said thats not true that people would get mad at that because clearly some people are mad that disney is pushing a gay narrative more in starwars

hidden lake
#

You said people don't care about skin color when you have groups (in the star wars community) that both encourage and oppose diversification of casts.

#

(We saw this extensively during Acolyte's pre-release)

warped python
#

they recast people all the time that wouldnt be a major upset... but its clear that these critics care about a certain motive of sexual identity being more of a priority than a nicely written story, that is what seems to be a bigger upset for these critics 😭

hidden lake
#

It's maddening

warped python
#

yeah well you cant win them all right πŸ˜‚

sour goblet
#

so, we all think the greasy asian dude is actually mae's master, right?

warped python
#

they might pull a Scream 6 on us lol

#

This is all Kathleen said and they're asking for her head on a pike again

#

This fanbase is a fucking joke. I'm sick of seeing star wars on a non star wars community and knowing the discussion is just toxic and bad faith and degenerate. If I tried to speak facts on the good Kathleen has also do, then I would get ganged up on by the mob mentality

#

Seriously losing interest in the fanbase as a while, it's not even humorous anymore

#

Oh for fuck sake.

#

Now I'm really malding

mint orbit
# mint orbit

Also fucking ridiculous that the thread responding to this quote are clearly male dominated and very personal insults. Zero self awareness.

#

/end of a malding

lucid glen
#

Still need to watch the episode, is Star Wars killed yet?

hot parrot
#

Just in a coma

#

Hope to finally see the sith in action in this episode

#

Bcs Ki Adi cameo and pronouns moment aint gonna cut it

mint orbit
#

If only bro could hear himself

#

Crying about they pronouns in a franchise surrounded by androgynous aliens is truly regarded

mint orbit
#

Some weird edits in this episode tho ngl. Felt like my putting a star wars wipe in a meme video on my phone.. it continues to appropriately build intrigue for me though and where it could go

#

But I once again stress, if it fails all this build up at the finish line then it fails pretty hard

hot parrot
#

Alright

#

That cliffhanger

mint orbit
#

It's forced because you're an insufferable closeted bigot that any amount of tolerance cannot be tolerated by you

#

Like fucking of COURSE there's species with no gender in star wars. That's how aliens often work.

#

Fucking crybaby snowflake god damn

hot parrot
#

Nah , it's forced because anyone with half a brain can understand that corporations use these social trends to make money, while you praise it thinking its progress

#

for example, that dude/girl hero in GenV was an interesting approach on the gender debate

#

That was great

#

But here, it's just cringe

#

Anyway, boring episode, hope the next will have some substance

mint orbit
#

But you're so desperate in your agenda of protecting Star wars from the wokeism that you've gone blind with arrogance

white kindle
#

this episode was eh

#

the ending was sick though

#

but it was pretty boring despite there being some interesting points

#

I kinda feel like giving up on this show but at the same time I'm watching it so I have something new to watch.

white kindle
hot parrot
#

This is what I'm trying to explain. This scene had no purpose other than to check the pronoun box

hot parrot
white kindle
lucid glen
#

Bro Sol's actor is so fucking good with his english acting considering he didn't know the language before this show

white kindle
#

ikr

#

and of course we have people like this

hot parrot
#

Yeah well ,can't stop the grifters

#

It's hilarious how they all release the same video, saying the same shit

white kindle
#

true

#

gotta love that mob mindset

hot parrot
#

They are just making money of these people

white kindle
#

yeah

lucid glen
#

Pronouns?? In MY Star Wars?? What next, adjectives???

mint orbit
lean shard
#

reminder that theres still nothing to say that smilo ren isnt tech

white kindle
#

he has time travelled!

lucid glen
#

That emotion makes him more compelling than the MORE stoic and emotionless Jedi Masters around him

lucid glen
#

Don't tell me people are crying about that...

white kindle
#

just say "are they..." if you are unsure about someone's pronouns

lucid glen
#

Jesus christ have you never messed up accidently?

white kindle
#

yeah

lucid glen
#

Most people default to he for someone they don't know the pronoun for

white kindle
#

but I have learned to just ask them or use "they"

lucid glen
#

SHE USED THEY

white kindle
#

people will correct me if need be

#

then make it sound natural

#

not "oh you used the wrong pronouns so you need to correct yourself"

lucid glen
#

It sounded very natural, she was curious about the alien whose gender was not clear, she defaulted to he like 80% of people then corrected to they

#

I've done it before irl a couple times

#

I've heard others do it irl a couple times

white kindle
#

eh ok

lucid glen
#

SW fans need to stop being pathetic and criticise the things that actually deserve criticism

#

I'm gonna resume the episode before I get too worked up

white kindle
#

some dialogue was pretty stupid anyways

#

it's more due to poor writing there

lucid glen
#

The dialogue has been strong so far and I'm 1/3 of the way into the episode

#

Definitely stronger than the previous episodes, esp in the scene where Sol convinces Osha to help them find Kelnacca

hot parrot
white kindle
#

most of the time it's fine

#

but yeah

#

it's definitely stronger than 1-3

lucid glen
white kindle
#

lol

hot parrot
#

Please answer the question

#

Bcs you saying the dialogue is "strong" is actually alarming

lucid glen
#

Please stop whingeing about pronouns

hot parrot
#

so i want to compare

white kindle
lucid glen
#

Obviously it's strong relative to other SW shows

white kindle
#

the dialogue could be a little less plot related

lucid glen
#

And obviously it's weak compared to shows like sopranos or the wire

white kindle
#

well have a few more non-plot bits of dialogue

lucid glen
#

This isn't the gotcha you were planning for it to be

white kindle
#

like don't talk about the plot 100% of the time

hot parrot
#

no need to gotcha on something as stupid as this

lucid glen
#

So go back to pounding the floor like a baby over he/they being used in a show

hot parrot
#

I was just curious

white kindle
hot parrot
#

Nobody is pouding the floor

white kindle
white kindle
hot parrot
#

If you cant tell the difference between jobless grifters making money over young and stupid people and actually legit criticism. Its pointless to argue

lucid glen
#

Ah yes your "legit criticism" which amounted to....what exactly?

#

A natural bit of dialogue designed to inform us the name of the tracker?

hot parrot
#

the fact that this pronoun scene was pointless. And even more in such a badly written show

white kindle
#

they are doing almost the same thing as I did

hot parrot
#

Cant they just fucking focus on quality

#

For christ sake

#

is it too much to ask

lucid glen
#

SW fans try not to nitpick over 5 seconds of footage in an episode challenge

hot parrot
#

the same way those grifters jump on any detail to create drama and engagement, you people cant stop yourself from jumping on your high horse hoping to get the moral high ground

white kindle
#

huh

#

tf are you on?

#

all this nitpicking is annoying is all he is saying

#

I am guilty of it myself

lucid glen
#

He's rambling to justify his hatred same with every other episode

hot parrot
#

Ofc people are going to nitpick

#

its made by disney

lucid glen
#

This repeats weekly

hot parrot
#

millions of dollars are invested in this

lucid glen
#

We should make a separate thread just for whatz's bitching

hot parrot
#

It's should be absolute peak

lucid glen
#

You can bitch there to your heart's content

white kindle
#

the thing is they aren't making the effort to make some valid criticisms

#

e.g. the writing was poorly done because of such and such

#

not this episode was bad because there was a fire in space

#

and that's one of the worst examples of fans being super nitpicky

hot parrot
#

Yeah , the same way people are nitpicking over high profile production

#

Look at GoT. Everybody was betting on the failure of HOTD

#

but it was good and well made

white kindle
#

I really don't see why you're arguing

#

we're making the same points

#

just talking about two different quality levels

mint orbit
mint orbit
mint orbit
# hot parrot Cant they just fucking focus on quality

Why can't they just make star wars for everyone and everyone has favourite content that they can pick and choose from a plethora of genres, quality focuses, set designs, choreography, plot writing, tones etc etc

Why must everything be mature and gritty like Andor when you and everybody else was introduced to star wars when they were young and what was coming out. Always has been.

hot parrot
#

Im just asking for quality man

mint orbit
#

Star wars has never had compelling writing or dialogue. If you came to star wars expecting these time and time again, then YOURE the problem. YOURE setting your expectations up to fail, not Kathleen lol

white kindle
#

same

hot parrot
#

they can put anything in it as long as it's good

mint orbit
#

And vice versa

hot parrot
#

what

mint orbit
#

I've seen people say Shawshank redemption was boring writing lol

hot parrot
#

yeah bcs some people have bad taste

mint orbit
#

Like you

#

We can go that route if you like

hot parrot
#

Like for example, i really dont like fantasy setting; Like elf and dwarf

#

I dont watch it

#

but im not saying its dog shit

mint orbit
#

I bet you had plenty to say about ring of power tho

hot parrot
#

Writing and acting is not a matter of opinion

#

Its either good or bad

mint orbit
#

You can be objective as possible, but there will always be subjective elements to it

#

That's impossible to remove

hot parrot
#

Yeah ofc

white kindle
#

def

mint orbit
#

So when someone says the dialogue is pretty solid... They're not wrong

#

Neither are you

#

You're too close to the line, it's become grey

white kindle
#

what do you mean by too close to the line?

mint orbit
#

This is why people are saying stfu until it's done and dusted

mint orbit
#

It's impossible to simply slap an objective label on it rn

white kindle
#

mhm

mint orbit
#

You can say "it could turn out shit" or "it could turn out great" but you cannot say definitively what it is rn

lucid glen
mint orbit
#

Think of it like this... Andor worked in 3 episode arcs right? Build up for 2, final act in 3rd? Acolyte is doing that over a full season

#

If Andor has shit final acts, it wouldn't be s tier

#

Same here

#

It has to be worth it

lean shard

dave filoni retcons an entire book
awww you're sweet

they change ki-adi-mundis age from legends
HELLO HUMAN RESOURCES??!

better than kenobi, bobf and ahsoka

mint orbit
#

#

but thats not a high bar

mint orbit
#

Im gonna say something wild... I'm enjoying it as much as the new season of boys. Acolyte gets many points for attempting to be innovative at least

lucid glen
#

I quit watching boys after the 522nd "kill homelander but fail then try again" plot

lean shard
#

smh they made the boys WOKE

lucid glen
#

I do like how certain parts of the viewerbase are just now realising that they were the ones being made fun of in the show

Interesting that Ki Adi Mundi made a cameo. Apparently makes him much older than his legends counterpart.

Were those ki adi mundi and plo koon

white kindle
hidden lake
#

There was a Kel Dor in the episode. No idea if it was Plo or not

lean shard
#

it isnt

white kindle
#

I think Plo would be about the right age

#

he was 385 when he died

#

no idea where that info was from though

lean shard
#

they contradicted ki-adi-mundo's legends age, this is what happens when you hire for woke ESG points😀

white kindle

Also they could have shaak ti appear because her age isn't confirmed and force sensitive togruta can live up to like 200 years oldDarthLonen

#

Hey guys is Star Wars dead yet

#

Oh ok they got Ki Adi Mundi’s age wrong, that’s it, I’m done with Star Wars

#

Disney has gone TOO FAR

mint orbit
#

Star wars would never retcon information

#

It is unheard of

#

/s

lament peak
#

He doesn't even have a age in canon

#

People are 100% gonna complain though

fickle tide
#

Gotta be a red herring

sour goblet
#

because this show has a history of not doing predictable things? or?

fickle tide
#

Tbh I wasn't expecting Kelnacca to already be dead πŸ’€

sour goblet
#

fair

fickle tide
#

They got me

#

Side note, every time I see people complaining about Pronouns, this clip is just ingrained into my consciousness

sour goblet
#

its a nothing argument. its the equivalent of the "that alien isn't a guy?" trope. we've seen it in literally every sci fi franchise known to man.

i couldnt remember his name

#

qimir

mint orbit
#

I do not buy in to that theory, no. I think it's just some new villain shmuck they're gonna introduce

#

(it's actually Yoda standing on Grogu's shoulder after they travelled back in time from the World Between Worlds as they are now multiversal peacekeepers)

#

Do you think the smiling dude could be the apprentice while another sith master is soon to be revealed ?

mint orbit
#

Smiling dude?

sour goblet
#

his helmet looks like a smile

hot parrot

yeah "the master"

#

even if they call him the master

mint orbit
#

I was just gonna call him Killo Ren

sour goblet

i think the internet has dubbed him "Smilo Ren"

#

LOL

#

They've been combined

sour goblet
#

i dont know if another sith will be revealed (at least this season), but i do think Plagueis and his master are already canonized in Disney canon, so it'd have to be an apprentice.

#

Probably a Vader-Starkiller/Maul-Savage situation where the apprentice is trying to get an apprentice of his own to overthrow the real master

mint orbit
#

Imagine it was fresh apprentice palpatine LOL

#

The rug pull...

mint orbit
#

I mean they already fucked with Ki Adi's age

#

Palpatines return #3

sour goblet
#

that one might be a bit more immutable. There's a 2023 encyclopedia that includes High Republic stuff and has Sheev's birthyear listed.

#

which, ironically, retconned it by 2 years compared to the last source of Sheev's birthyear

mint orbit
#

Yeah I know, I'm just being provocative

#

It's a super high chance it's what you said

#

Interesting how powerful they've made him tho

sour goblet
#

ye

#

i dunno, tho, sith apprentices have always been kinda powerful. especially Sith apprentices that have previous beef with the Jedi Order, which if qimir's dialogue in Ep 2 is any indication, i think he might.

#

See: Dooku vs Nightsister assassins, Dooku in Ep 2, Vader in anything between Ep 3 and 4.

hot parrot
#

i mean dooku was a sith "apprentice" but he was a jedi master

sour goblet
#

right, that's what i mean tho. sith apprentice isn't the same as a jedi apprentice, they're not younglings in training, they can be powerful.

hot parrot
#

Yeah , i also think its another way to show the jedi arrogance, thinking they can rush a threat like that without thinking

#

I hope he wipes the jedi squad, grievous style

sour goblet
#

There's definitely some redshirts in the squad they've got there.

lucid glen
#

Straight up did a Force wave

mint orbit
#

Like I hear ya but dooku is a special case

#

Maul too

#

There's a reason these were considered the return of the sith

sour goblet
#

i mean we dont know this masked guy in the acolyte isn't a sith lord. he just isn't in sideous' "lineage" of masters.

Let's say for simplicity's sake the "real" sith master is Plagueis' master, Tenebrous. Smilo Ren could be a sith lord, like dooku or vader was, but still have Tenebrous as a master. If he gets killed off (we assume he will be bc we haven't heard of him), Tenebrous just replaces him with Plagueis. Like Sideous replaced Dooku with Vader.

mint orbit
#

He can't be tho

#

It would destroy that plot thread in the prequels

#

I think he will simply be a dark side user essentially.

#

Or just a sith apprentice but not a sith lord

sour goblet
#

its a moot point rn, grasping at an explanation as to why hes so powerful. but whether or not he's a sith lord really doesnt matter, it only matters what the jedi report him as, or if there are any jedi that survive the encounter long enough to report what he is.

mint orbit
#

Yeah that's fair

#

We've already seen they're willing to hide things for the order

lucid glen
#

He is a knight of ren

sour goblet
#

nailed it

hot parrot
#

I really hope smilo ren aint Qimir

silver pasture
#

I feel like this is going to neatly tie into Project Necromancer, Osha and Mae being the first force capable strandcasts, the Sith in the episode being Darth Venamis, and Darth Tenebrous being his master. This of course means Darth Plagueis is involved

lean shard
#

the ki-adi-mundi thing gets funnier

#

"they edited the canon page for his birth year!!!!"

#

turns out said age was added in june
....with no source

#

so someone edited it in, the it got edited out

lament peak
#

Wookiepedia is all made by fans anyway

#

And is wrong all the time

warped python
#

Changing written dialogued characters from George by writers that have no experience with any star wars labels lol

#

tenebrous is definitely around because this show takes place like 88 years before phantom menace

lean shard
#

does tenevrous even still exist

warped python
#

Pretty sure because he was killed in 67 bby i believe

#

Penguinz is funny asf with his star wars reviews πŸ˜­πŸ™πŸ½

lean shard
#

the "the pee pee poo poo drama is insane" guy?

warped python
#

the long haired guy yeah

hidden lake
#

What'd they even change other than his age

warped python
hidden lake
#

...
Why is his age suddenly relevant, it changes virtually nothing about his character and it gives him more opportunities to appear in extended media

#

And regardless he hasn't had a canonical age since the EU was disbanded

warped python
mossy stag
#

Funniest part is people acting like it's shitting on George, as if he ever cared about EU/Legends canon, let alone what Ki-Adi-Mundi's birthday was

warped python
#

something about a line he said in ep 1 but it was such a small line

mossy stag
#

Which is also easily explained away like 3 different ways, and we haven't even seen the rest of the eps yet

hidden lake
warped python
#

Its understandable... what else would you call a man sending his apprentice to kill jedi because i sure as would call him a sith lol πŸ˜‚

mossy stag
#

I mean that mini-council immediately didn't jump to that conclusion

hidden lake
#

Because, as Ki Adi Mundi would reflect apon 100 years later, they thought that the Sith were extinct

warped python
#

yeah them undermining that fact is a reason theyre going to die in 100 years πŸ’€

hidden lake
#

Anyways we've yet to see if "Smileo Ren" is actually de facto sith or merely a dark jedi.

silver marsh
#

That’s how we got Andor

#

People writing a good show first and writing SW second

regal carbon
#

Only thing I do like about acolyte is that we call the masked sith Smileo Ren XD

silver marsh
#

Doesn’t automatically make it better that they haven’t seen it but there needs to be a balance of non fans and fans on the writing staff

warped python
regal carbon
#

Other than that I really don't like Star Wars Acolyte. There's just too much lore breaking.

#

One thing that I felt was very unnecessary was the pronoun scene in episode 4. It felt odd. I have nothing against that scene, it just felt weird to have.

#

That's just my personal opinion. I'll keep watching the show but so far I REALLY don't like it 😦

warped python
#

that scene caught me off guard

#

πŸ˜‚ like since when did star wars care about pronouns

silver marsh
#

People have those

#

It’s not really a SW thing it’s more like a general existing thing

#

Still haven’t watched it tho so I’ll get back about the lore breaking

warped python
#

But nobody in star wars has cared wether it was a "he/they" or whatever they said lmao πŸ˜‚

regal carbon
#

It just felt very unnecessary to have, I think we all know what they were trying to do with it which again I really have nothing against but if it is that case it was poorly put in and not exactly what I want to listen.

#

Like... I don't care about pronouns, why should I care about it if I'm watching a show? I could just use their name.

silver marsh
#

Everyone has them some people have different ones it is what it is

#

Nothing to make a fuss over

#

Don’t make me tap the sign

regal carbon
#

I'm not making a fuss over it, it just felt really odd.

#

Eh maybe. Delivery has been hit or miss.

regal carbon
#

I just think it could have been executed better XD

silver marsh
#

Probably

#

That’s the Star Wars TV way

regal carbon
#

Other than that and the lorebreaking I'll keep watching until the end.

#

Just don't remind me the power of many song. XD

warped python
#

I honestly think it was their way of being funny

hidden lake
silver marsh
#

I haven’t seen it yet but I am preliminary giving it a 7/10

#

Probably 6.5/10

#

From the discourse I’ve heard

regal carbon
#

Hold on

#

Gotta find it

#

Ki-Adi-Mundi is apparently alive at the time of acolyte which is not accurate with when he was born.

hidden lake
#

Actually he still doesn't have one, he's just older

regal carbon
#

Uhhh yes he did?

#

Canonically he was not suppose to be born until 39 years after Acolyte

#

If he was alive during acolyte, then he would know about the sith.

#

Which would mess up one of the quotes he would say in the Phantom menace.

warped python
#

Pretty sure i wasnt the only one that read those star wars character biographies that had their birth years or am i tweaking

lament peak
#

He has no backstory in canon

hidden lake
#

Problem:
The term "sith" has not been said throughout the show's runtime until this point

#

I think

lament peak
#

It hasn't

#

Because the jedi have no reason to think it's a sith

regal carbon
#

Technically no

hidden lake
#

But yeah, regardless, we still don't know if Smiley is a sith or a pretender

regal carbon
#

I think you mean Smilo Ren. πŸ˜‰

regal carbon
#

There's also episode 3 which I'm really not going to go into because of how so many things just don't make sense in it.

#

Too much to explain about it

warped python
#

I've never heard anyone say dark jedi at all in any film or am I missing one

regal carbon
#

Nope

#

Anyway I'm going to hop away, just wanted to share my thoughts.

See you all on next episode.

You can't find a cool way to leave them on the ground and the dark sider standing over them? We're gonna cut mid force push? Mmkay then

they should have cut when mae realize smilo is here

@hot parrot opinions on his entrance?

You can't lie it wasn't cool af

I love how they presented "what the fuck is a sith" mentality from the jedi

Because its online and confirmed by her twitter back in early june about the writer never seeing star wars... everyone knows that πŸ˜‚

hot parrot

she actually said to have watch TPM around 40times when she was young

Which implies you think the age change came as a result of her never watching SW

(which is insane)

Bro is talking to himself

warped python

that bit of inexperience does affect smaller details

lucid glen

No andor has shown that writers who don't give a fuck about SW can still make a good show

it's almost like experience with SW has no bearing on a show's quality

More so, the quality and calibre of the writer

well tell that to the people that dont like this show

Besides, fixing contradictions and keeping the lore intact is the jobs of the story group guys whatever tf they are named

(so far)

I find the show actually decent and these minor errors dont depict wether i dont like it i just point them out lol

Ki Adi mundi is the one who says "But the Sith have been extinct for a millennium!" in TPM

Besides like stass allie and a few others he's probably the bottom 5 least popular prequel jedi

And lore nerds don't like him either because he's an asshole in legends

At least he showed up for landing at point rain

Probably his most important appearance

lament peak

I'm glad tcw gave alot of PT jedi their own episodes

# lucid glen Again what errors

I for one think that the acting is good and the quality is decent.. errors im talking about is for story telling-wise like how this episode was exceedingly dragged up until the end. these small talks about nothing and watching these guys ruck through a forrest doing nothing.. there was no excitement, it was just pure anticlimactic until we get a cliff hanger

Im just stuck on the fact that im hoping this show has a huge turn around because what could you have possibly done with 180 million and one of your episodes is under 30 minutes πŸ€·πŸ½β€β™‚οΈ

Let the woman kill the damn jedi, i wanted to see a fully trained wookie jedi fight

AND THEY KILL HIM OFF SCREEN

And the cliff hangar at the end before the fight was not it

Thats just my opinion though

I think he looks like a knight of ren which is what I'd expect most outcast dark sider from high republic to look like tbh

Let the woman be evil

She gives in to the dark side often is my current interpretation. Nobody taught her what voices to ignore

Has she not been getting honed by this mystery sith guy

After killing two jedi

I’ll laugh my ass off if she turns herself in and the jedi are just like β€œyou want us to let you off? You killed two jedi….”

# last rain That 180 out of nowhere kinda got to me

i dont think it was that jarring. they were little kids when she made the threat, little kids don't always think about what they're saying. and ||i really dont think mae actually started that fire, which is why she blames the Jedi for what happened||. Regardless, tho, her actions were bc she loved her sister and didn't want to be separated. Now that shes older and knows her sister is alive, she decided to try to do what she could to be together again. Not that big a leap.

God this reminds of this stupid ass penguinz0 video where he "critiques" acolyte for having boring and uninteresting characters to the point where he doesn't even remember their names....but namedrops qimir perfectly

but since that one meditating jedi willingly took the poison as punishment, i think he knows the jedi did something bad

Especially for osha’s master

Or however u spell her name

its not about the jedi, its about being with Osha. Like she said to qimir "My sister being alive does change things"

She wanted to surrender to kelnacca so she could meet with the jedi

I think thats the big thing, is that theyre just doing stuff and theres so much more we wanna learn beforehand. Like Im still not satisfied with the characters they just introduce with no explanation or backstory

When a character in a mystery show acts weird and they don't talk about it for 2 episodes because they're hiding it... Is that bad writing?

It happened so quick and abruptly that I fully thought she was lying to get closer to the jedi so she could fucking STAB them
