Same Galaxy, A Little Long, Longer Ago - Acolyte Season 1 Eps 1 Reaction 

"No fire in space:" Gotta go back and watch the original trilogy and tell George that lol

The girl with one of the most dangerous jobs in the galaxy is ironically named OSHA 🤣

Fire in Space is 100% possible. If the pipe was leaking Oxygen into space then at the area immediately around the pipe would have oxygen and could burn. Explode a spaceship or a spacestation and there will be fire in space because there are massive oxygen tanks and the entire pressurized cabin is full of Oxygen which will cause a Fireball.

Look. THere is SOUND in Star Wars space. Their space is just....different.

What I find really amazing about this show is that Lee Jung-jae (Sol) learned english for this, i would never know from his line reads, he sounded like hes been speaking english for years.

I really don't understand the hatred for this show. The first episodes didn't blow me away but there's some definite potential. The characters are interesting and there's some fun places this story could go. I am interested to see what happens next.

So what I got from the monologue at the end was, In the time of the high republic, the Jedi were kinda viewed by a lot of people as these super powerful beings. To kill one was difficult, but one dying from a weapon of some sort wasn't impossible, but would usually be attrbuted to the strength of said weapon. So to kill one without a weapon, not only kills the individual jedi, but it kills that idea of them as all powerful. It shows them as being weak. "Kills the dream." Also on the robes. In the High Republic Jedi had two sets of robes. Their Temple robes were generally white and gold, and used for either around the temple or special events (Basically a dress uniform.), and their Mission robes, which were usually more earth tones and didn't look as regal so they would be more personable and approachable.

Why is everybody so certain we are never going to see Carrie Ann Moss again? She is in multiple scenes we havent seen yet in the trailer, and even if you havent seen them, there is clearly a past there. There will almost certainly be flashbacks. We dont have all the info yet. Almost like we are 2 episodes into an 8 episode series and there is still 75% of the show left.

She is an acolyte, and has to kill Jedi in different ways, to prove she is worthy of her master. Trials.

"No fire in space." *Modern rocket-propelled spacecraft would like to know your location* Fire needs fuel and an oxidizer, not an atmosphere.

So happy to see some himbo representation in the Jedi order

9:01 That actor is the same one who plays Gi-hun, the winner of Squid Game, s. 1

Sol is the best character and I want to see more of Indara in a flashback and also liked X23🥰

Adam's been wearing glasses for so long now that I almost forgot there was a time when he didn't

Fire can exist in space, it can't start on its own due to no oxygen, but All you need is a strong oxidizing agent and a spark / explosion. The flames on the ship could very well happen, as it may not be oxygen that is burning.

Adam entering the fifth dimension to find his memories of obscure Dark Horse comics was hilarious. And don't worry, they explain a lot of your questions in the next episode.

Adam: There is no fire in space! The Sun: 🥺

Thank GOD they are using planet title identifiers. Their absence has been a pet peeve of mine for years now.

They informed us in the opening “scroll” that this takes place a hundred years before the rise of the Empire. This is the tail end of the High Republic. There technically should be some characters from the series timeline we’re used to. Chewbacca, Yoda, Huyang, Jabba the Hutt, Yaddle, Bendu, and Maz Kanata are somewhere in the galaxy in The Acolyte’s timeline.

I’ve left this comment lots of places, including on the preview’d discord, but I have to drop it here for my favorite boys and the algorithm goddess too: This show is incredible so far. After 2 eps, Sol is already one of my favorite Jedi ever. And I *love* how they’re showing a character like Yord and how he’s more akin to prequel era Jedi (vain, a bit arrogant, maybe corruptible, quick to violence, draws his saber every chance he gets) as compared to more wise, peacekeeping Jedi like Indara or Sol. I really, *really* love that they’re showing the order moving that direction slowly and organically.

Jay is the R2 to Adam’s 3PO.

Adam, were you thinking about theTales of the Jedi comic about Ulic and Cay Qel-Droma? They were also twins, with one falling to the Dark Side and the other one staying with the Light Side.

"Was that guy wearing a big Wookie pelt?" "Perhaps I killed a Wookie and took it from him"

SW has sound in space

Jay’s droid would drive Adam crazy because they’d fight like siblings 🤪🤣❤️ (love you Adam! Just funning)

Did we need to see the last 30sec, no... Are we glad they gave it to us though... Hellz yes!!!!

Adams Droid would hate Jay's Droid. But Jay's Droid would think they are best friends.

Fire is possible in space if an oxidizer is present. They're currently studying how fire behaves differently in space. So it may not look exactly like that, but there can be fire.

"Noodle Wheel" 🤣 I love you guys!

I will say that I agree with the take on that ending scene in that it is placed and shot very weirdly. I think the Sith Lord’s proclamation that an Acolyte doesn’t kill the dream with a weapon is more of a metaphorical killing of Jedi Philosophy of not attacking an unarmed enemy (We see Mae try to get Trinity to fight her without a weapon and taunts her about using her saber) however the way in which he gives the speech out of nowhere and ignites his lightsaber Darth Maul in Solo style to tell the audience he’s bad does feel a little out of place with the rest of the episode. Still enjoyed the episode overall so far and I’m hopeful for more of the good

“I see fire.” “I see rain!” “I see summer days that I thought would never end.”

pretty clear the final scene is there to show Mae is working for a sith without having to actually say it. Red saber, guy in black, hates jedi, all shorthand for "this character is a sith or related to the sith". And the "kill with no weapon thing" is explained next episode not much point getting into that.

In the High Republic books, white robes are for ceremonial/Coruscant temple attire. Brown robes + the vambraces are for mission attire.

The film reel noise is a wonderful touch. Keep that in any time you need to have a good think for sure. ;)

"Woah! Inside voices." beeoowaawaa?" (Is this better?)Thank you" Ship: BEEP!!!BBEEEEPPP!

High Republic Jedi have multiple robes. Basically have dress robes for temple and combat/mission robes.

They are in the shield bubble, there has always been some atmosphere in the ships shields. The fire starts because she fixed the shields. It's also how Liea survived in TLJ. This goes all the way back to original Expanded Universe lore back to the old Marvel comics. Even Han Chewie and Liea were in space while swallowed by the Space Slug in ESB and didn't need full space suits.

The fire is still going because there is fuel running through the lines, meaning there is a source for the flame to continue burning. I would imagine it would go out if it were just a quick flash fire without the fuel line.

1:35 Adam ❤ Brooklyn 99-Jake: Who wants to see the undercover video of Amy Santiago buying drugs with perfect grammar? AMY (ADAM): There is nothing wrong with asking, *May I have some coc@ine?*

First of all, fire is 100% possible in space with appropriate fuel. Second, there has been fire in space in Star Wars since 1977, so I don't know why suddenly everyone is bothere by it

Showrunners: An Acolyte kills without a weapon. Also showrunners: Dagger dagger? Showrunners: Daggers don't count.

There’s been fire in space since 1977

Adam's disgruntled face when Indara gets killed is all of us.

I had a brief thought about fire in space... but then again, this is a fantasy universe where all the planets have: 1) atmospheres breathable for all species, 2) the same gravitational force, 3) one biodome across the entire planet

Adam, Ned Stark was all over the posters too. So was Drew Barrymore in Scream.

I think what the final scene does is tell us there is someone pulling her strings (sets up the larger conflict, and that she is not yet an Acolyte because she used a weapon, he's telling her she didn't pass the test and has to kill again, this time without the knives.

I’m so excited to watch this with you. I really hope it’s gonna be awesometastic!!

You’re not wrong. But I will say that there have been explosions and ships on fire in space in Star Wars many times. Haha

I'm generally pretty keen to see where this show goes. Everyone seems pretty interesting, Sol especially. Honestly, I thought the worst part was that last scene. Just weird and clunky. "An acolyte kills without a weapon"...he says to someone who literally just killed a Jedi with a knife. And like you say, it's just out of place. Unless...May's evil cult nickname is "Wins Without a Knife"? Now THAT would be a weird reference :P

That, "not only is that a Jedi, that is Trinity" is so real 😁

When they say the acolyte kills without weapons they mean the killing of the dream. The weapons aren’t important because weapons can’t kill hope

By the way, did you notice X-23? You know, the actress who happened to play as Wolverines daughter in Logan?

I know everyone is different, but I really am shocked y’all aren’t really vibing with the show as much as I thought you would, based on other reactions I’ve seen. Adam seems more critical and nit-picky than I’ve seen him before. We’re only two episodes in, and it’s a mystery-thriller tv show, so of course there’s a bunch of weird questions you’re gonna have; it’s a mystery TV show, and you’re not about to get all the information you need in the first two episodes. The episodes end in a classic mystery-thriller way, with an ending that leaves you upset there’s not more (so you will stay tuned for the next episodes. For me the first two episodes made me extremely intrigued in the plot and invested in the characters, particularly Osha, Sol, and Mae, along with spectacular sets, the classic Star Wars feel, the cinematography and special effects look like cinema, the use of the force in ways we haven’t seen much of before, and the incredible fight choreography. The acting is amazing too, and it hits just the right emotional beats. I think this is already the best SW show, but I’ll wait until it ends to say for sure. Hopefully you guys will like it more as the show move along.

If I had a droid in real life, it would absolutely be a Gonk - I'd always know what they were saying and power outages? No sweat, baby.

Lmao. Adam totally sounds like a narc, but he's Pretty Fly for a White Guy! 😂

I don't think the final scene with Baddy McRedsaber was needless at all, nor do I think it was just "showing a red lightsaber for the heck of it." If I recall correctly, in order to progress in their training, an acolyte of the Sith must defeat a Jedi without a weapon, either killing the Jedi bare-handed, or by taking the Jedi's own weapon and turning it against them. Only then may the acolyte be allowed to take the kyber crystal from the Jedi's lightsaber in order to "bleed" it, turning it red for their own use and becoming a true Sith. This is why Mae initially challenged Indara empty-handed, and also why they put so much emphasis on how Mae tried several times to grab Indara's lightsaber during their fight, yet ended up leaving it behind afterwards. Mae knew that she had failed to kill Indara "properly," having relied on trickery with her knives instead of on skill alone, so she was not permitted to take the saber. Her failure here, then, is why her master scolded her in the final scene, igniting his own red lightsaber to remind her of what she must do to obtain and "bleed" a kyber crystal for herself.

At 4:51 Keanu Reeves should walk in, reach into her chest and get her heart going again...

It's Star Wars... It has fire and sound in space.

I’ve never been so fast! Let’s go!

What if the flammable gasses are being expelled from the ship and fueling the fire?

I mean I’ve been operating on the assumption that because there is fire in space, sound in space, and vehicles that fly in space like airplanes do in atmosphere, the Star Wars universe must have something like aether. A non-pressurized, non-breathable, light atmosphere that fills all of their galaxy and makes all those space-creatures and asteroids that have atmospheres make a whole lot more sense, as well as the other things mentioned above.

You guys crack me up on these star wars shows lol

Guys, go back and read the opening scroll again. She is going against her training to get revenge. She doesn't care about anything else.

i see 1 bad mother who dont take no guff from no one

I mean, i’m not gonna lie the fight choreo is on point, it just feels that there’s a secret something that seems to be lacking

So I’d agree about fire in space, however, It’s Star Wars and Also All Star Wars ships have something in their schematics called an “Aether Rudder.” Which means there is some kind of gaseous Medium in the Space of the Star Wars universe. There are two theories I’ve seen: 1: The Star Wars Galaxy is so far back into the past near the Big Bang that this Gas is left over from the creation of the universe and hasn’t dispersed yet…. 2: Star Wars just isn’t another Universe, it’s the Previous Universe with different laws of Physics. However it’s also Just Star Wars, Just repeat to yourself it’s just Fiction, and really just relax.

I think the part i am most interested in is how she kept trying to take the ligthsaber. Kinda feels like the old native american rites for touching an armed enemy while unarmed.if thats real i read it online

Who said there is no fire in space? What is his evidence? Plus, the fire was on the ship,”in space” means you light a torch and throw into space and it keeps being on fire. 😮

16:12 this scene reminded me of The Fugitive with Harrison Ford. I thought, "Oh no! She's going over the edge!" I like being wrong. Occasionally.

Just thought of something at 5:48 that Adam would have a droid like Chopper.... LOL

There were a lot of fire explosions in Star Wars, an also there's not sound neither and we had a lot of pew pew. Star Wars is like this haha

theres an air and space museum

I was surprised about Carrie Ann Moss too, haha. It's such a treat to see her do this kind of stage fighting. But I'm guessing we'll get her in some flashbacks. Also, even if we don't, my sister sagely quipped that the intro was maybe all the Trinity they could afford $$ lol

You know it’s funny when I was watching the show as soon as they mentioned the main girls name I immediately thought about you guys and how much you were going to riff on it. I’m glad to see I wasn’t disappointed.

Regarding the fire if there’s a powerful full source to feed the flame it can happen. We see that in real world rockets like todays Space X launch that was a complete success

Adam now needs to invent a jawa version of Cypress hill.

There has been so much fire in space in star wars lol sometimes I wonder if people watched star wars beforexD

Definitely agree the aesthetics of this show are its best features. Personally I’m liking it, eager to see where it goes

Can we please stop and appreciate Jay’s Robin Hood reference?

Her name is Osha and she had a work related accident in the first episode.

Solid start! However, her having a twin was way too predictable. I figured it out as soon as the first Jedi questioned her. If that did not uncover that plot twist, then when she wasn't able to force grab her droid should have been a clue.

THE UMBRELLA ACADEMY TRAILER HAS BEEN OUT FOR DAYS YOU GONNA ACKNOWLEDGE IT

My thought, "Ooh, plasma fire in space." Does Star Wars use plasma?

14:40 Caleb would like a word.

No fire in space in our space. Their space? Don’t know. Every one I’ve watched has pointed it out.😂

*there is no fire in space* (in the fantasy about space ninja monks with intergalactic travel, laser swords, fully autonomous intelligent robots & aliens that speak English......)

*"The Jedi live in a dream. But, an Acolyte kills the dream."*

There is fire in space if one of the lines which broke is an oxygen line and the other is a fuel line. This is literally how all rockets work.

I love how in episode 1 we already got 2 new padawans to watch grow as well the main character.

It's giving me Star Wars action-mystery vibes, and I'm cool with it. Looking forward to future episodes to see where this goes. Could Yoda make an appearance???

Definite video game sort of vibes from this one. If that's deliberate I hope it leads to them giving us a proper retelling of Knights of the Old Republic. But yeah, don't see why there's hate for this so far. It's sticking to the Star Wars foundation of 'Western in Space' with the Seven Samurai-esque influences.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 who has my bong? I passsed it to Adam and now it's gone🤓

Carrie Ann Moss's character literally yanks a knife from the Acolyte's hand and then 45 seconds later watches with FOREKNOWLEDGE of where she plans to throw a knife and allows the throw and then must do a full 90 degree turn to attempt to force grab the knife AFTER the fact.....c'mon writers. If you wanted her to die that badly in 1 fight at least make it more believable.

Those white cloaks make them look like a high school production of Camelot.

Definitely not perfect, but it's good Star Wars. I am very interested. I really like our main cast of Jedi/Osha as of episode one and our look into the beginning of the fall of the Order

There's also whales, mynocks, worms etc in space. The fire in space thing doesn't really mean much after all of that.

their faces at 11:23 kill me LOLOL

"Ride horses on a MOTHERFUCKING STAR DESTROYER!" remember? This is like Spelljamming space not real space. It's D&D space.

Thanks to Jay and Adam! 🌑
