Loved your reaction. It's good to see someone enjoy a Star Wars show as it should be. Thank-you. The kyber bleeding was really cool. She had so much anger and confusion built up over the years that it just reached a breaking point.

I'm rewatching (well, listening is more like it) some reactions while I do boring data entry for work and there is one thing I didn't catch the first time around. Joel tells the soldier he was selling to "The more you kill people, the harder it is to sleep, I guess". And then you see him take pills and alcohol to be able to sleep, and twice Ellie says "You mumble in your sleep". Then, he tells Tommy he has nightmares every night...
How/why Osha is doing what she is doing isn't explained. she hasn't used witch magic or the Thread in 16 years, but she can use it now as if she were a Mother? Its only been a day at most and she trust's Qimir? why? Sol, should of disarmed Mae. He said just a few minutes ago he needs her alive, so I doubt he was going to kills her. the ship doesn't have a hyperdrive so she can only go as far as Brendock. Then that lil *hit rat basal. wtf is his motivation? And all of this makes the chase pointless and just eye candy. The scene with David Harewood, should of been the absolute first scene of the whole entire series. It sets up the stakes. And what is sad is 2 minutes of David is better than most of the characters in this show, not all, but most. When senator asks who will stop the rogue jedi. Any competent writer should have Venestra speak up. "The jedi have guarded the Republic, even to our own detriment for Eons. And we will always be there to defend it as we did against the Sith...." it cuts the momentum that the Senator built up, and it would show that Venestra knows how to play that game as well. This show has given me no faith that they know how to do Plagueis justice, so I wish he was never even cameoed, especially since he should be a late tween to into his teens right now. but hey just a birthday right? Sol runs from the Jedi, just to turn on his transponder now? why? At the bare minimum he should of turned to Bazil and said "if I don't come back by such and such time, turn on the transponder and wait for the Jedi to arrive." how do you get the lift operational? you blew up the generators, its been 16 years of degradation. How does Qimir get in? new force power Force Teleportation? Why is there a hole in the roof? should of had Osha Force Push Mae out of the room, and then she disappears, because the "batmaning" is getting old and over used. Also her use the Force on Mae and looking at her hands just adds more credence to her regaining her powers. I get he was trying to use the helm again, but you have your lightsaber on the opposite side of Sol's blade. TAKE the bloody shot! his head is right there! Sure he destroys the main saber, but your Shoto saber is still there, and you have to have 2 crystals for 2 blades. Sol has trounced Qimir two times now, but Mae can disarm him with ease? Lightsabers are built to be durable, but a toss onto something suddenly breaks this one like its a dollar store toy? Mae has spent the entire season looking to kill the Jedi, and suddenly she wants Justice? Where did this come from? Its rather convenient that Sol never gets the chance to say "your mother was turning into Force demon, and was vaporizing Mae. I did what I thought was best to protect Mae and you Osha. My only choice was to strike down your mother." "Without Mae there was no proof" What about the blood tests? The fact that Mae and Osha had identical resonance signatures in the Force? Crazy how the writers forgot about that. Osha bleeding a crystal by accident is not only wrong logically, it literally goes against Disney's own lore. How many Men, women and children did Anakin kill? his saber never changed. There should be Rage, heartbreak, outrage in Osha to even begin to bleed a crystal. I'm talking about all but foaming at the mouth!... I don't see any of that on Amandla's face, until after he is dead. She should still be angry when he lashes out at Qimir.. instead she's puzzled? Its also sad that Venestra has all the powers every other Jedi should of had in this show, aside from her use of Psychometry. She tells them to set up a 5 klick Perimeter, and yet ALL of the Jedi are following the Rat?! that is not how a perimeter works! "You are going to do what you were meant to do?" What exactly is that? hmm? it literally is not established at all in the show. And what is established changes at the drop of a hat. Memory Wipe.. great Qimir can do it... so why didn't he use it before hand? just a tease of it somewhere earlier in the show to leave that lil bread crumb. So when he uses it here your like aah ok. Then Yoda.. looks as old as he did in the OT. Why couldn't they spend the money to either make a younger puppet, or just CGI him as was done in the Prequels? Where was Yoda? he could feel Order 66, but not these Jedi dying? But worst yet, instead of making the Jedi look fallible. they did nothing but make them look incompetent, absolutely corrupt, and if she comes clean with Yoda then that makes him complicit in the corruption. I can't claim most of the things I pointed out as my own ideas, in fact i've gathered them from many people from youtube. But they are all valid points. Most of these just come from this episode, with just a few extending back to the beginning of the show.
I absolutely love all your reactions in your other videos but to say they wrapped this whole thing up is a stretch. This was a mess in writing and acting. Let's hope to god there's no season 2 and if there is, it is as far away as possible from Harvey Weinstein's secretary.
That's fair, and we can agree to disagree. I will say that they probably could have condensed this and then given us more of the Plagueis involvement, Qimir training Osha and how Mae goes forward with the Jedi. That would have been even better in my opinion. However, I think they wrapped up the story of this season pretty well and they left enough open and intriguing enough, imo, to do a second season. As for the writing and acting, I'm not going to say that it was the greatest Star Wars ever or anything. But, there were some great performance in my opinion, especially by Lee Jung-jae and Manny Jacinto, and Star Wars writing has always been hit or miss, but I still like it.
Quite the twist that the season was about Osha becoming the Acolyte when we thought Mae was the Acolyte. It was also surprising when Osha's vision came true but she saw herself consumed with anger rather than Mae. I am also looking forward to Season 2. I don't think the season needed to longer but there are a few spots that felt like scenes or key dialog were missing. I still don't understand Mae's sudden turn when she told Qimir she was done with the Master and planned to turn herself in. The fact that decision was completely gone in the next episode makes it even more baffling. Was it genuine but something happened to change her mind again, or was it a ruse to get Qimir to reveal himself? Also, why did Bazil sabotage the ship? Did he fear for his own life seeing Sol become obsessed with catching Mae, was he turned by Mae, or was he under orders from Vernestra to do so? Not everything in a story needs to be spelled out, but it's nice to have enough information to draw an accurate conclusion.
I'm glad that Osha and Mae both ended the season in a place that they chose for the first time in 16 years. We probably will never know why Mae had the change of heart or what she was trying to do since her mind was wiped. It'll be interesting to see how/if she moves forward with the Jedi. I also could use like a short or two of Bazil and what his story was. Thanks for watching!
Hey! Thanks for a great reaction to a great episode! :) The bit at the beginning? Osha was using the coven's powers like her mother, unconsciously taking over Qimir's mind while tapping into the force cos of the helmet.
Thank you so much for watching! That's a good catch that it was Osha getting into Qimir's mind. She definitely has a lot of power, like her mother, and I hope we get to see her tap into that more next season!
The season has felt super short, from the runtimes to just having 8 episodes. Like I want the next season NOW. But also, I’m glad it’s over because I saw the absolute worst takes in Star Wars fandom history every single week for every episode of the show. It was really tiring, just people hating the show and trying to convince other people to hate it too; that was the worst part. Side not: I like the yin yang idea between the “sisters”. Since they’re the same person, their emotions are on balance. When one falls, the other rises. The show experiments a lot, and I appreciate it.
Yeah, it should have probably been 10 episodes but being left wanting more isn't a bad thing...just as long as we actually get it lol. I couldn't agree more about THAT side of the "fandom". It was exhausting.
It seems each generation's senses of self importance and entitlement grow exponentially, and it truly is exhausting. In recent years I've started to watch plenty of shows that I thought were terrible, but I simply stopped watching rather than try to convince others they are wrong for liking it.
Agree, really liked the way they wrapped this up and great way to set the stage for the next act (hopefully there will be a next season). That was Darth Plagueis in the cave (as in Palpatine's master)!!! The question now is whether Qimir knows he is there, is he currently his apprentice, is Plagueis finding out his apprentice is breaking the rule of two, how much does he know of the witches creating life, etc. This now sets up the bigger story of Plagueis/Qimir/Osha on one side and Yoda/Vernestra/Mae on the other, with the senator as the political antagonist of Vernestra and the Jedi. I think it will be a wild ride if/when we get it!!!
I think it would be more shocking if we didn't get a S2 with how much they set up. So cool that was Plagueis, would love to see more from him! Thank you so much for watching!
Thanks, Kevin! 🌑 That hooded Muun in the shadows, according to Wookieepedia, is the first canonical depiction of 'Darth Plagueis' who we first heard about in THE PHANTOM MENACE. 🔸 And how wild to see a kyber crystal actually being bled in live-action?! 🔸 I think 'Bazil' was being protective. After he saw 'Sol' stun and restrain 'Mae'... and then put her escape ship in his crosshairs... he was worried 'Sol' might lose his cool, I think.
That’s so cool that was Plagueis!! Never knew what he looked like! That’s a good call on Bazil, probably did it for Sol’s own good. Thank you so much for watching along this season!!
The arrogance of the Jedi existed long before the fall of the Republic. Sol must have assumed Aniseya was somehow sacrificing Mae and reacted without thinking to protect her. If only everyone listened to Indara and Aniseya. When Mae dropped the lantern it spilled fuel all over, which is why it spread around the door frame into the room. It also got into the open power conduit panel, and since a lot of the energy is produce by chemicals like Rhydonium and reactors using Coaxium the fire spread to the base's main reactor.
Thanks, Kevin! 🌑 The hyperspace disaster is depicted in the novel, LIGHT OF THE JEDI. 🔸 The "we must be sacrificed" misquote little 'Mae' convey to 'Indara' and 'Sol' had a huge impact. They literally thought the girls were in mortal danger. 'Aniseya' actually said, "It is about sacrificing a *part* of ourselves". 🔸 It's also wild to learn that 'Sol' was imposing his own wants (to have a Padawan... even though he might not be ready) onto the situation. He even almost lost his temper on 'Indara' at the end. That shows a very un-Jedi-like conflict that adds to his motivations. 🔸 And don't get me started on 'Torbin' being all immature from boredom and homesickness. 'Indara' turned out to be the most reasonable one of all.
Electric fire overloaded really old power generators which then caused cascading explosions. Sol was really afraid that Osha was going to be sacrificed, given the bits he observed, as Mae was marked and she was not...so when he saw Aniseya becoming a dark cloud and taking Mae into the cloud with her, he reacted out of instinct and fear. You can tell by the look on his face that he instantly regretted it. Though no one has clean hands in this, I would say Koril is the direct cause of all the deaths...she primed Mae to feel her anger, which led to the fire, and she threatened attack first, which caused Aniseya to try to stop everything or escape with her daughter, the terror of which caused Sol to react and then it was all over. I think the vergence was there already, like on Ach-to and Dagobah, and the coven came upon it/were drawn to it. It hid them, like Yoda was hid, and allowed them to create this dyad. Future storytelling will have to fill in all the blanks of how and why.
those scars looks like it could be from that spacewhip, lightwhip, that the green lady has. meaning Sol is probably not the only Jedi with something to hide. so the senate wanting to investigate the jedi sounds justified
He is a very compelling villian, and I can't say that he's completely wrong. The whip marks definitely feel like they might have come from Vernestra's lightwhip...So many Jedi are keeping some dark secrets.
Thank you, Kevin! 🌑 Ahch-To is where 'Luke' sought seclusion. I'm guessing those little elephant-mouse-birds were meant to underline that it's a different planet. If they wanted us to presume it was Ahch-To, I imagine they would've shown porgs. But time tells all! Either way, it was a lovely locale. 🔸 Indeed, next week's episode has the same director as the previous flashback episode. I'm ready for it!
That would make sense as to why they made it a point to show them multiple times. Thanks for the info about next weeks director, I'm excited! Can't wait to find out what actually happened, or at least see another point of view. Thanks for watching!
Qimir's scar is whip-shaped...and Venestra's look is very interesting, like she knows who really killed everyone on Khofar. Was Venestra Qimir's master who tried to stop him before he fell to evil...maybe she had a vision in hyperspace about him (they nod to this power she has when she talks about hyperspace). Anyway, great mood change ep after last week's very kinetic onslaught! The deeper we go, the more intriguing it gets!!!
Oh that is a good point. And she did mention that she knew Sol when he was a kid so she is older than she looks. That would be quite the twist, but they did set the stage for it in this episode!
isn't it funny HoTD and this show seem to be following weekly themes.😅 Last week it was "twin switching"; this week it's "nudity". Jokes aside, yeah, I want to believe that planet is Ahch-To but the absence of the ubiquitous Porgs is telling.
Super happy that you're reacting to The Boys this season! I wonder where they're going to go with it, it's feeling pretty hard out here for our boys so I'm holding out for some hope soon 🙏🏻
Great reaction! I have a theory on Mae's turning herself in. She knows her sister is alive, so she was lied to. She probably thought better about taking on a Wookiee Jedi, unarmed. Because she thought her master was nowhere near them, she figured that strength of a Wookiee Jedi, and all the other Jedi, would be her best defense...all knowing that if she failed to kill Kelnacca, she said her master will kill her. THEN, when she finds Kelnacca already dead without much of a struggle, extreme fear and panic set in and she didn't think any of them could protect her, so she gave up her plan entirely. And, impersonating Osha could get her back on her master's good side. Square one. Keep up the great work!
My interpretation is, once Mae realized her master was there, she knew her master would kill them all. So for Mae, surrendering to the Jedi became a death sentence, rather than an escape. Thus her trying to run from everyone.
Well that was shocking. They made it so obvious Qimir is the Master that we ended up dismissing the idea. Double twist. They also added all the nameless Jedi so we'd expect them to die, making the death of main characters even more shocking. I appreciate the real stakes, which we haven't seen since Rogue One. We know Mae screamed and then we heard the lantern break. I am so curious to learn what really happened on Brendok.
Right?! I almost thought it was too obvious. And we’ve just been conditioned to think that our main stars will make it through, especially mid season. The episode really did a great job of playing on that. Hopefully we get some more clarity on the Brendok situation next week.
What's up dude! Yeah, it was almost too obvious that it was him, but I'm not mad about it lol feels like the show is really finding it's stride. Can't wait to see the rest.
