Her story is darker than you think... 

I like Jecki death and the Ahsoka Clone Wars flashbacks because it really drives home the fact that padawans are just children.

Jekki = Darth Maul in the sense that they were the coolest thing on screen and were killed off too early.

Jecki is what happens when Ashoka doesn’t have plot armor.

Jecki has such gremlin energy in this episode. I could totally see them doing a bit where someone approaches Sol to ask how training his padawan is going, to which he responds by raising an arm from behind his back, reveling Jecki holding on with here teeth and growling

Not saying your analysis is any less plausible, but Dafne Keene gave an interview where she said that it was hard to get away from the raw and aggressive fight training from Logan. Apparently she couldn’t help screaming and being extra aggressive in which had the coordinators telling her to calm down and act more meditative and Jedi-like. Really glad she didn’t though, cause I think it really lends to how someone raw and inexperienced would fight in her situation.

She was becoming my favorite character in the show. I'm still devastated.

Honestly, I love this channel. Decent discussion on Star Wars and really astute commentary on mental health. We all need a mate like Allen! In the show, Jecki was a brilliantly realised character. I'm pretty sure that we'll continue to see amazing things from Dafne.

Sol: She was a child! Qimir: You brought her here. This really highlights one of the greatest flaws of the Jedi: blaming everyone else for the predicable consequences of their own actions.

After she bashed Qimir's helmet off, Jecki came at him yelling in rage and then he killed her. Her emotions were her undoing...as The Jedi taught and feared. Not many picked up on that.

I hope Jecki was hiding the fact that her vital organs were in her feet

What was Jecki hiding? She had to go so she could cameo in Deadpool and Wolverine 😂

I think Jecki’s greatest issue was not having the experience necessary to know when not to attack…

I really, really liked Jecki's little smile when her lightsaber came back on. Oh yeah, she was enjoying the fight. Her death bummed me. And that, similarly to early GOT, is one of the things I like about the show.

You're right. Losing Jecki kinda felt like that time we lost Ned Stark in season 1 of GoT. Surprised and gut wrenching. I really liked her charachter.

8:33 That is an amazing close up when he smiles at her. In my opinion you don't usually see transcendent acting like that in "Star Wars". I forget the name of the actor, but his ability to emote sincere kindness and warmth is exceptional. It was one of the early moments that sold the show for me.

Media literacy must be at an all time low based off how many people I’ve seen say she was bland and had no character

The last time i was this early, the Acolyte was getting hate before it released

I will miss Jecki. We didn't have her for very long but she made a great impact and I really enjoyed her character.

Every time I hear Vernesta I can’t help but hear Nebula from Guardians of the Galaxy. It’s not a bad performance but it’s all I can think about.

Jecki seems more of a 14/15 year old rather than a 12/13 year old. Remember, the High Republic Jedi were not threatened. Yord's padawan isn't seen after his first patrol. I think for Sol to take Jecki on these missions is very unusual. It sort of says she is the "Ahsoka" of her time (one of the more gifted padawans). None of the other Jedi in the rest of the Order seem to be operating the same way around the edges of the story. Heck, the only other master/padawan pairing we see is Indara and Torbin now that I think about it. And Torbin's definitely an older padawan when they confront the coven.

I really love what they did with Jecki's character, and I love your character analysis. I wish she lived longer, but I'm glad she got a memorable Star Wars death. Her fighting skills reminded me so much of whenever Anakin tapped into his anger. I saw a lot of that with Jecki.

Just look at Barris Offee she completely lost it due to the trauma she faced during the clone wars.

There is also the Dafne Keen factor, she is a fantastic actress and fighter, I wish she was the lead actress. Dafne Keen would have been a savage Sith Acolyte.

jecki is my favorite character in the series. i really felt it when she died, she had such a strong presence and personality and i expected to see more of her. i was shocked and sad.

You gotta feel bad for Jiord’s Padawan for losing her Master

Thank you for making sensible content, it is a breath of fresh air compared to some of the "other" SW channels.

My dad is a casual Star Wars fan from the sidelines, like he just watched the movies this last year. And even he is like yeah, it’s an alright show, especially if you’ve only seen the movies. Like there isn’t a crazy amount of lore you need like Ashoka.

Dude, Andor and the Mandalorian seasons 1&2 are great, but the Bad Batch is the best Star Wars show they’ve made so far, all 3 seasons. I have to look and see if you’ve made any videos about the at show. If you haven’t, you definitely should, mate.

Hey generation tech, I noticed in some of your vids you are tired and I get it’s hard . Thank you for keeping a positive mindset and for keeping the star wars fandom a better place 👍🏻❤️

Brilliant, finally a person with common sense who doesn't ride the popular wave of hate. And the golden sentence that when children are taken, sometimes the parents' house catches fire... this is pure gold. I'm clapping. Excellent analysis.😍

Those hits were very tactical too. He struct both lungs(to make her unable to breath) and likely the heart then struck he her spine to make sure she couldn't retaliate in the last 2 seconds of her life by paralyzing her. When I was being taught advanced hand to hand combat we were taught to not go for a kill immediately but to take away the opponents ability to stand, breathe or see. Once they were disabled in some way and you had an advantage then you go choose how you wanted to handle them.

Can't wait to see a video essay titled "The Acolyte was kinda great" in 10 years

Your commentary really hit the mark with this one. This is why you’re my fav SW tuber.

I usually root for the Sith and darksiders but Qimir really didn't need to do little Jecki like that. He could easily have chopped her legs off or something instead. SMH Sith do better.

I just have two points of criticism, but overall, I think your interpretation is very solid. 1. The original mission wasn't something dangerous. It was 7? Jedi serving guard duty for another, well-skilled Jedi Master. I don't think they were expecting combat. This is like when Yord brings his padawan onto the Trade Federation Ship. 2. While not perfect, there are outlets for emotion in the Jedi Order. The primary way is not combat, but actually meditation. It is meant to help Jedi clear the emotions from their mind. In addition, there are therapy services, (i.e. Jedi masters). Though I do have to agree, They are lacking. Jeki doesn't die because of that, though. It is because she is not adequately trained, sent on what was supposed to be an easy mission, and loses her mind when her whole team gets Killed. Fair given the circumstances, but not necessarily completely the Jedi's fault.

I am a 47-year fan of Star Wars, and I love The Acolyte. 😊❤👍

Jedi Hermione was becoming a really interesting character.

when you said a dropkick can land you on your hip as we saw with jecki later she is kicked on the same place she landed and is kinda stund by it. kinda cool to see after you said it

16:37 Jecki is too precious. She'll always be that mini wolverine from the Logan film lol.

I like how Jecki did have a soft spot for Osha. I rewatched it with my sister and we definitely shipped it until, you know. The stapling. 😂

i barely comment on any videos but this guy has been my favorite youtuber for the past 3 years. i’ve binged most of his videos and i can genuinely say i’m glad to be a star wars fan with Generation Tech around. thanks for your positivity and commitment towards the community. it means alot when a lot of my past favorite youtubers have gone down a rabbit hole with hating on a franchise for the clicks so again, thanks for being you Mr. Tech.

I feel like Jecki was totally using the Dark Side in that last battle, she was going full berserk on Qimir.

"This is what Anakin tries to use against Dooku in AotC, and things get out of hand for him immediately. " Nice

Hard disagree on checking your emotions, depends on how you check them. Emotional suppression is not a good way to check your emotions but have you ever been around someone that doesn’t check their emotions? They are unhinged. Interrogating your emotions, being introspective, and talking to others about how you feel is a good way to check them.

Jecki, being a hybrid, probably feels isolated among her peers and craves acceptance.

Of all the characters, I liked Jeki the most. I’m kind of heartbroken

Dafne Keen was great in His Dark Materials too. I was almost surprised to see her cast as a supporting actor but she made Jecki into a memorable character. Kudos to Dafne Keen!

I wouldn't even be mad if Jecki had a Reva comback. I just love her, and feel like her character wasn't explored enough. We NEED cyborg Jecki

I gave The Acolyte a shot and got attached to Jecki. I thought she had a bright future as a Jedi Knight ahead of her. I don't think I was this sad since Order 66. Edit: Yo, I was sad, why's there a fuckin' argument in the comments? Respectfully, cut the shit. Thanks.

The main thing to remember is that they were after Mae and sent like 7 Knights and 1 Padawan. They feared it was a rogue Jedi that was training Mae. It wasn't supposed to be that 1 Padawan fighting a possible Sith Lord. Age-wise, Jecki is allegedly supposed to be about 18. So, she had no involvement in the issue on Brendok. That's not to say that the Jedi haven't sent Sol and Jecki on other missions that may be nearly as scandalous. For sure emotion is fore in her mind, so she would see it as fore in everyone's mind. It is too bad that the Jedi were taught to suppress their emotions instead of control them. "Thought police" is usually a dystopian concept. Definitely was emotional vs Mae and then vs Qimir. That smirk when she went into jar'kai mode was clearly overconfidence. She did get quite aggressive and even had uttered a battle cry in the moment before she became a pincushion. As Yord said, "he gets into your head, and stays there". Qimir was certainly clouding and twisting everyone there, evoking and stoking their emotions so as to fuel himself even more (or at least unbalance the Jedi). Combine that with Jecki's innate passions and emotions, and she was bound to mess up sooner or later.

Awesome video. Jecki was my favorite character from the Acolyte, apreciate this deep dive on her

I liked Jekki as a character, and I think her death was fitting for the story and handled well.

I love Star Wars, but I'm not a die-hard. Why do some people compare the Acolyte to the prequels and sequels when they are two different eras? You can't compare the US government of the 1950s to today, even though judging by some channels they want to go back but that is a whole other topic

Nice room in Coruscant. Perfect for any streamer.

Episode 5 was a turning point for me. I was enjoying it passively until then but now I’m really interested to see how it’s gonna go

Hi Generation Tech - I was on the fence about watching this show because of all the drama BUT I took the plunge and decided to marathon the first 5 episodes WITHOUT having all the outside drama from all sides. I do have to say, I actually liked the show. If you can close out what's going on surrounding this show and go in with an open mind and just watch a show, I did actually wind up liking it and enjoy it. I will leave my crits surrounding the show out the door and just enjoy it for what it is. Your videos are awesome and love watching how you breakdown each show. Thank you and keep it up!!!!

This is hands down the best commentary and I have come across my Star Wars episode or movie thank you

Keep up the positive videos. I'm enjoying the show & your breakdowns always give me something to think about. Thanks

Jeki was my absolute favorite. I am sad she died but I love what it does to the story.

I’m glad you spoke about men and their emotions. You are respected, and people pay attention to what you say. A man who can express their emotions in a positive manner knows that it doesn’t detract from their masculinity in any way. You mentioned ways to release the stress of emotions, but being able to express them is very important, too.

Of the first five episodes, this is by far the best. To be brutally honest as a fan since the very beginning of SW. This the worst written of any SW project yet. But! It is original writing, unlike the last three movies, which I found to be a giant F.U. to the original trilogy. Jecki Lon was the best character except perhaps her master. The main star of the show, the twins, the actress can't act at all, and I find the writing to just be all over the place. I actually enjoy episode 5 much more after watching this Video Alan, thank you for that. By the way I always thought the perfect Jedi would be an Droid with a High Midi count...No Emotions at all, perfectly programmed to be the ultimate Jedi code walker...

Jecki was great, I was legit sad when she was gone. Same with Yord. It may not be the deepest show ever, but the actors did their part well.

Always appreciate your way of tying in deeper real world meaning to the themes of star wars, Allen!

Who ever casted jeki without plot armor is a Jar Jar bunk !!

I get a master might not know how dangerous a mission could end up being and being a Padawan is being in a mentorship program until you’re ready to be a Knight. But The fact that any and all of this was missions to hunt down a Jedi killer, a killer of a Jedi Master should have made this too dangerous and too high stakes for a Padawan to be a part of. Another side of the hypocrisy by Sol too. Jecki is seemingly old enough to take a life, but not lose her life.

I was bummed when she died. She was actually one of my favorite characters. Definitely after watching her fight.

Jeckie was pretty cool. She was kind and competant. She didnt take it personally when sol still had an attachment to osha. Jeckie also forced yord to be lighten up a bit. I didnt expect her to die so soon. She had a lot of skill for a padawan.

at least we have a star wars where characters actually die again.

I love Jecki so much and I am still in denial after what happened,,, in my heart she is still here

"she was a child" "You brought her here. Faith in your apprentice, misplaced it was"

Astounding character… I hope we get to see some pre-acolyte insight… she really held her own against a sith. Bravo!

Haha, got out of hand for Anakin. 😂 I really did laugh.

YT HID YOU FROM ME!!! IVE BEEN LOOKING OUT FOR YOUR VIDS, AND IM JUST NOW ON THIS VID SEEING YOU ON MY RECOMMENDATION. Big fan, (thats why i even noticed) and i recommend looking into it on YTs end.

14:16 "things get out of hand". Yeah, that hand went flying xD

I love your new background. Can't wait to see more epic locations

Jecki should've been sent back to the ship, maybe to alert the Jedi and or request assistance; she was too young for combat and her death achieved nothing, also he story arc had much more latent in it. Sol should've taken the lead, as he was the most experienced in combat.

Does she have the same anatomy as humans ❓

Yet another brilliant video essay and this time around centered on Jecki. And now I’m depressed all over again. You were a real one, Padawan. MTFBWY, Jecki Lon.

14:15 "Things get out of hand"... You could say Dooku disarmed him 😂

I really think the people who are hating this show wouldnt have liked star wars if it came out today

I have to applaud the show for making me feel EXACTLY how Sol felt in that moment. Especially when Kimir refers to Jekkie as "it." I wanted to beat the snot out of him too. But that's what a really good, slimy villain with no redeeming qualities should do. Complex, relatable villains are all fine and good but sometimes we need a good 'ol fashion utter scumbag villain, and Kimir just oozes pure evil. I hate him but I also can't stop watching him evilling it up on screen, it's intoxicating. Not unlike Palpatine. But Kimir is a lot more smug and slimy than Palps, which works great for the character.

as much as I wish Jeckie didn't die, she was by far the most likely to turn sith with her emotion-fueled combat

I love this deep dive into the characters of this show!

I really like how this show largely functions as a referendum on the baseline moral values of the Jedi. When Sol says to Qirim (sp?), "She was a child," and he responds, "You brought her," that's really powerful. I always personally felt it was ethically gray how the Jedi essentially baby snatch, I'm glad to see a show exploring this.

jecki Lon was 18 so she was crossing the threshold from child to adult chronologically . She was intellectual mature But you can see how the Jedi experience was holding her back on emotional maturity.

Jecki was so cool, was lowkey beginning to love her. Tbh, Yord too! He had his annoying quirks and Jedi rigidity but that was clearly the point. Anyway, what a gut-wrenching twist to see them both get brutally taken out but it was also so great. Gonna miss them but the way this raises the stakes was really nice.

I liked your channel before, but you have moved up to a favorite lately. Thanks being the one positive voice and waiting tell the whole stories told to judge the show.

Jeki was too eager to take on Qimir in the way Anakin was with Darth Tyranus… they should have taken him on together

14:50 they’re calling her a mary sue because she did tons of training and lasted a while against Qimir. Can't have SHIT in this fandom

The way you explained all this is AMAZING. Great job!

Your break down and analysis of Jecki has allowed me to see deeper into the story than Disney has allowed on screen, using the Lore that Disney seems to want to ignore, makes Jecki's screen presence more understandable and for that I am glad, thank you. from the moment she spoke to Master Sol I was not impressed, but now I get it and I think you called it well. as for Mae and Osha, and their origins, I like it because it shows the force IS universal as the Jedi allude to and they offer an alterative take that is not just the Jedi mandate and the Sith's adaption of the Jedi lore and use on the Force, The Witches make sense for the Force for parts of the galaxy/universe that have not been exposed to the Jedi/Sith influence but still knew of the Force. this also for me alludes to Jecki's attitude to Osha, as a former Jedi, former padawan of Master Sol and a former "witch" and also explains Mae in many ways too with her Sith master and her willingness to move on from him rather quickly. Thank you for enabling me to think deeper into the story at things I missed as a Star Wars fan who has been only a core fan and not aware of the Expanded SW lore and Universe.

There’s more traffic outside Alan’s room than there is flying around the Jedi temple…

I love that Alan just casually says that he drop kicked people twice in relating to Jecki, says it sucks, and then just moves on 😂😂😂

Allen thank you for not throwing the acolyte under the bus I watch many channels starwars related and your channel is the only one not bashing this show.

The death of Jecki is a tragedy in this story. An innocent child who potentially had a long life ahead of her as a great Jedi Master, but all of that was taken away from her, not just because of Qimir, but also her own Jedi master's shady past, which she knew nothing about and would likely have shattered her own beliefs in the Jedi if she would have lived to learn about it.

Jekki has been my favorite character so far, and I couldnt be happier that she died. I am sad that we wont be seeing that incredible actor anymore, but a story without stakes is boring, and Jekki died like a badass

Also, theres a reason sol is so chill and wise. People who have made mistakes with catrosophic consequences, whom truely regret their mistakes, often can be the best people, if they cant accept inside them their short commings.

If they can use the force to enhance their speed can you imagine what she could do with a drop kick...... ouch!

Another very thoughtful, well written analysis. I agree that we need to wait until the end of the season to judge the whole work product. It would be like fans getting up during the first screening of A New Hope and leaving the theatre because one of the major characters was a fur covered being who couldn't even speak English! We just finished Act 5 of an 8 Act play. And its a murder mystery for crying out loud! We have to wait until Poirot, uh, I mean Sol calls everyone togther and announces who the killer is.

I must admit, I loved Jeki, a Hermione ish character. When she fought, WOW! Loved it! 3 holes means Actual deadness folks😞 Brutal
