My wife was asking if they meant "mothers" in a Night Sister-esque way, but we're hoping for space lesbians.

Yeah I assumed mothers as in culturally they are raised by women.
I do hope the show gets better though. There was just something missing for me and there’s NO way they actually killed “her” right? That be tremendously stupid but still left a bad aftertaste.
Also the chair droid scene had me tipping so bad. The coolest scene so far.

Not bad so far. I do have a bunch of "WTF, wait, I don't get it?" moments
and I'm surprised no one else is talking about it.
So I'll ask it here... What's up with Mae thinking her sister is dead?
Is this the whole Skywalker thing and keeping the twins apart, raised by two different Jedi groups?

We’ll find out more of that over time but I’d just wager the fire separated them and it seemed the other was consumed from their own respective perspectives

oh...see I'm thinking the Jedi saw both sisters and saw darkness in Mae and purposely left her. this angers OSHA and she turns to the dark side by episode 5.5
that's why they have to atone and Torbin felt guilty
vivid mortar
the Jedis are definitely guilty of something
probably started the fire and blamed it on Mae
in efforts to "kill" her, but Jedi don't kill the unarmed
I think the Bioware MMO Star Wars Game "The Old Republic" is Legends/EU status now, but it reminds me of the two twin brothers who were kind of on opposite sides of the Force

I like all the characters so far, especially Yord.
My only complains are the CGI shots of the ship are janky as fuck. Got that Phantom Menace era CG look to em, but most of the show is on the ground so thats fine.
I'll get some shit for it but I think Sol was a miscast. Its so jarring seeing him with long hair like that but maybe I blame Squid Game. Sol looks like he's cosplaying a jedi, like he's wearing a wig.
I'm enjoying the plot so far. Curious what happened on Bendok.
I am very aware that English is a very foreign language to him but its hard to see him struggle with it in this show
But its really clear that he's not getting the intonation needed to showcase his emotion. At least he's very expressive with his face.
And did they really just kill Indara off like that lol
Also does anyone find it weird that Mae's supposed to kill these jedi without weapons, and yet she keeps grabbing for their hilts? but after she kills Indara, she doesn't take her saber?

swift heart
The first episode is alright. Knew it from the first episode she had a twin. 
its pretty slow so far
vivid mortar
I don’t even really know but I feel like there has to be some other twist there
the twist is that Darth Teeth Helmet Guy is her dad. Raised by her two moms, but conceived via IVF.
the Jedi saw that Mae could be "evil" via the dark side of the force, and started the fire
Mae was told that her family died in the fire, and was kept on Brendock. Osha was told Mae started the fire and her entire family died, and was taken offworld to train as a Jedi Padawan.
exotic yacht
I do think you’re right with the fire, but honestly I think darth teeth might end up being irrelevant in terms of a big reveal
haughty wharf
idk that they started the fire, maybe it was always burning
vivid mortar
(Honestly, the twist will probably be that the twin's mothers survived the fire that the Jedi set, but were grievously injured by it. Mae was probably still with them for a bit, but was left orphaned, and she likely discovered that the Jedi set the fire)
exotic yacht
iirc the head writer said an acolyte is basically an apprentice to an apprentice, which makes me think that someone (probably qimir) is the actual Sith Lord above earth teeth
vivid mortar
I read articles that people are speculating that Qimir is Darth Teeth, but I don't buy it.
vivid mortar
iirc the head writer said an acolyte is basically an apprentice to an apprentice...
the apprentice to an apprentice thing is intriuging though. That's essentially what they did with that The Force Unleashed games.
exotic yacht
Yeah, I think qimir might be worried that darth teeth is gonna betray him, and so he’s manipulating mae into taking him out basically
vivid mortar
This is all way after the whole Rule of Two with Darth Bane... I could see Darth Teeth as still being the main Master and that he's been working on raising Mae as his apprentice. I do wonder if we'll see Osha turn to the darkside as it appears the Jedi have been lying and hid that she's a twin, and that Mae lived.
Then if Mae and Osha are both Acolytes/Apprentices of Darth Teeth, it'll be an interesting thing where there can be only one...
fight to the death!

Episode 1 done. I hate prequel Jedi, so I'm happy to see that the actual protagonists are *real" Jedia and not "I must become entirely detached from reality" Jedi.

watched some weird theories by eric voss/new rockstars.
I imagine he read all the same leaks/rumor docs that have been put out there, so maybe he's just putting out some weird theories of his own to throw people off
in leaks ||it's reported that Manny Jacinto was using a lightsaber. Apparently the Yord actor said how it was impressive that Manny could do spins while doing some flip, while he still couldn't. This was at Celebration last year.||
So maybe the whole theory of the Qimir character being the Sith is true... or ||after reading some rumors, what if he's also a twin from the same planet as Osha and Mae. Apparently Osha and Mae's mothers are part of some Witch Coven. Maybe the only way that they have kids is through witchcraft in the force, all in efforts to have the force dyad stuff in place. The Jedi recognize this, and see the potential for evil in Mae, and start the fire to separate the sisters, and end up killing the other mother (who's also a twin, LOL).||
snow osprey
It's probably as simple as ||Manny's character actually being the one guiding Mae who was masked up. It's a trope they'd easily do of the master hiding in plain sight and while he played stupid most of the time, he was pretty insightful about the Jedi. More inciteful than just a contact to get her things.||

So much better than the first two episodes. Bit disappointed we don’t see more yet of what really happened though. Definitely a show better enjoyed binged than weekly. Are the witches suppose to be relegated to the Nightsisters? Reminded me a lot of the Wheel of Time.

They're making it kinda obvious that the bad guy is Qimir. Conveniently never seen his face, never in the same scene, already on Kofar.
I hope it's just a bait and switch and that it's not Qimir. Or that he's a twin too...
Better yet. He's a triplet.
"the power of one" - mother aniseya
"The power of two" - Mae and OSHA
"The power of many" - Qimir and his triplets 😂
My latest theory ||Qimir's evil twin is the actual Acolyte. He's not the Apprentice. He was being tested by the Sith Apprentice and has to do the "kill a jedi without a weapon" and is using/manipulating Mae into doing the Jedi killings for him. He's a little further along in his training, but once he's able to finish this last task, he'll be the Acolyte.||

Star Wars details are fun, but GOOD LORD, anyone who gets THAT worked up about his timeline needs to get a life.
That's coming from the guy who practiced lightsaber forms with a PVC pipe instead of going to a Jr. High dance.

Also it’s like the point that the Jedi council hides shit and even refuse to believe qui-gon that a sith is out there.

I was really hoping that ||qimir was a red herring, it seemed like they were making it too obvious to hint that it was him. Especially since the order implied that the bad guy could be a former Jedi, I thought that it would be someone new and older, introducing a new character that may have even killed the witches that night||
Still, it’ll be interesting to see how the rest of the series unfolds now
vivid mortar
My guess is that Qimir is still the Apprentice, and that he has a Master, but is looking to overthrow his Master, and has been searching for an apprentice of his own, hence why he was trying to get Mae. The conversation between Mae and Osha seems like the Jedi were entirely in the wrong, and that they kidnapped/brain washed Osha. I'm guessing that Mae will end up killing Sol to try and be back in Qimir's fold (else he's going to kill her). I think Osha and Mae will end up reuniting after Qimir tells Osha what the Jedi really did, and he'll take on both the twins as Acolytes and look to overthrow his Master in Season 2.
It's already pretty dark for this last episode, but I'm guessing the end of Season 1 will be like ESB. All the main Jedi characters are dead, and this Sith Apprentice and his two twin Acolytes are out and about.

Essentially, the quote is pretty similar to some Jordan Peterson person, who is very anti-trans, and opposes "identity politics". The reddit post ends with "I'm interested to see where this character goes, but if my hypothesis is correct, it's ironic that this show might finally start to appeal to previously hostile audiences via the very phenomena I suspect it is critiquing. If we're only interested in Star Wars when toyetic men are stylishly violent, did George's original message fall upon deaf ears?"
I can see where now that this guy ends up killing most of the cast, isn't a black women (but is still a POC), that it could be made relatable to the same people that give the show so much grief and are doing the ratings bombing.
The ratings bombers = Sith.

Ooh interesting
It might be further calling out the haters than appealing to them though. I’m sure the creators knew what they were doing in that aspect

Its a little weird that Kelnacca was being mind controlled, yet he could swing around his lightsaber with ease and precision. Think about how awkward it would be controlling a huge wookie for the first time with 15 others all giving input.

Even though he could swing it and such, his movements seemed kind of brutish with wide-sweeping swings, like someone who hasn't used a lightsaber much before.
Plus, he messed up Torbin's face with his claws. Using their claws as weapons was a MAJOR no-no among Wookiees, with most being banished if they dared to do so. Kelnacca wasn't in the driver seat during that attack, but having thirty witched in one's head at once has to mess someone up.
Poor dude spent the last part of his life painting witchy stuff on his walls in exile.
He deserved better.

Me when they did the transition from the hand to hand fight to the saber duel

This was good for the opposite reason Andor was good - Andor rules because the showrunner didn’t give a shit about Star Wars, The Acolyte rules because the showrunner gives an extreme amount of shit about Star Wars
Straight up I think my favorite fight scenes in the whole franchise
However disney needs to chill on the forced episode count and lengths next time
That hurt the pacing

could be denial? she didn't believe there could ever be a reason for her to kill Sol at that point, so she assumed it was Mae?

Catching up on the last few episodes rn
Why did the mother act to the Jedi like she didn't want Osha when she made her decision?
Like I was kinda confused why she told the witches I'm choosing mother, but with the Zabrack she kind of threatens them, then she gets stabbed she drops the act? But why was she pretending to threaten them?
Like I get what the logic/what the character is thinking but I think the pacing of the episode makes it confusing
