The Acolyte 1x1: Lost / Found | Rewatch And Discussion 

You guys and Blindwave literally allow me to enjoy all the Star Wars content.

Fun Fact: Carlac is the planet that Ahsoka and Lux went to meet with Death Watch, meaning this is the planet that first introduced Bo-Katan.

"Think of diving into a great ocean" Padawan on Coruscant: "What's an ocean?"

You two and Blind Wave are the real gems of the Star Wars fandom. Creating a space to just nerd out on any new Star Wars content, love it. This show is great by the way too! Can’t wait to get some answers, and the choreography is top notch too. Love the use of wires to emphasize the force.

Thanks for the reactions guys, can’t wait to watch the rest with y’all

I believe Mae saw Indara use the force to save the woman she threw off the balcony, that told her how distract her from the fight at hand.. as they said later, everyone has a weakness

One of the best parts of a new Star Wars show is more Kyle / Bendu reactions 😭🙏

The pilot droids turning into seats were sick!

Solid start to an intriguing series. Loved the heavy practical alien presence, choreography, fast pacing and the shrouded mysteries already enveloped in the overall plot. I could nitpick on the CGI of that ship crash but that’s a very very minor tiniest criticism. I look forward to the entire series and we are in a privileged golden aged time to receive so much visual SW lore content! All the misogynistic/racist/phobic haters/doomers in every fandom just proves that those of us who truly appreciate sci-fi and fantasy rich content are eager, open & so welcoming. The cream of the crop gems of reactions are certainly you two: Kyle & The Bendu ♥️ THANK YOU. ♥️ P.S. Happy Birthday youngling! 🎂

I am really digging this series. So many questions... and i need MORE now...

Thank you for being true fans. It's so nice to hear someone NOT complain that there was fire in space. Who gives a crap? Your appreciation of the practical effects, the score, and the new stuff introduced is refreshing. Keep up the great work!

Episode two is when I really got sucked in.

You guys are literally the only SW RU-vid channel that I watch. I really appreciate the lorebeard knowledge and the lack of toxicity with you guys

Many thanks to Kyle, Bendu and Nerd Chronic! 🌑

You guys are my new favourite reactors. Never nit pick never complain you just love what’s in front of you.

I’m loving the end of the High Republic era feel in this one since there’s a lot of signs that they are going to the Fall of the Jedi Order era.

Master Kyle, Remember that... Filoni has said that "No one ever dies completely in Star Wars"

Your read of the opening text was fire hahahaha :D

Thank you for watching and discussing what's actually on the screen.

OMG YES FINALLY THE BEST REACTORS ARE HERE!!!

I read yesterday that Lee Jung-jae spent 4 months practicing his English so he could play the role of Sol. I just found that inspiring and awesome.

I already posted this comment lots of places, I know (including the discord and on the patreon vid), so forgive me, but I want to say again: Sol is already one of my favorite Jedi of all time, and I absolutely love the way they’re portraying Yord as more akin to prequel era Jedi: vain, a little arrogant, possibly corruptible, and quick to violence and drawing his saber every chance he gets, in stark contrast with more wise, peacekeeping Jedi like Indara and Sol.

It’s a shame many people wont even give this series a chance and are missing out.. I think this is really good from what we’ve seen

I love that they don't mess around with Master Sol doubting Osha. She says she didn't do it and that Mae is alive, and he knows her well enough to know (at least she believes) that it's true. I think Master Indara knows the second knife is coming and that it'll be a kill shot, but looking at her face in the moment, she's making a choice to save the barkeep instead of herself. I know from the trailers that we'll see more of her in flashbacks showing the traumatic event that was covered up by the four Jedi that leads to Osha joining the order. Watching your reactions to this reminds me of how I feel when I rewatch something cool with a friend who hasn't seen it. So even though you guys have seen these already, thanks for sitting through it again with us and still being so excited to share it with your viewers.

Ahem, Young Jedi Adventures will be first on *my* chronological rewatches... 😂

HI Kyle regarding your nitpik with the second knife, after I thought about it for a while now I think Master Indara knew what could happen but made a choice to safe the innocent and not act in preserving herself

I always go to you guys, Blindwave, and Star Wars Explained for my Star Wars experiences as you guys aren’t negative like those other clickbait cites.

I didn’t know how much I needed the opening text read in old-timey newsreel voice until you did it! 😃

Regarding Indara’s lack of precognition: The one thing that jumps out at me is Yoda’s quote about the Dark Side clouding everything. The Acolyte takes place a scant 100 years before then, and as the Jedi grow more complacent, weaker almost, the Sith and other Dark Side factions are on the rise. I’d like to believe Indara’s not sensing the second knife is kind of a combination of the Jedi hubris and arrogance that leads to their downfall, as well as a sign of their diminishing power in the face of the Dark Side.

My head cannon is that Qui Gon and Sol would be best friends, just like our favorite Best Friends.

22:05 Actually I think it's just a force vision for Osha. Because we see in the 2nd episode that Mae doesn't know that Osha is alive so it can't be them connecting through the force otherwise Mae would know that Osha is alive like Osha knows that Mae is alive.

I always love your reactions guys, but I liked this one because, as has been mentioned, you actually enjoy new SW stuff. I've seen "breakdown" videos where the guys trash the show like they did with other shows. I like the show so far, so it's a bit annoying when some guys completely trash it just because they had I don't know what kind of expectations. Good work as always guys!

Always love and appreciate your guys’ vids!!! you guys are always so positive and just clearly enjoy watching the Star Wars universe! Wish more people are as positive towards the franchise as you guys are

Master Sol to Osha is what Qui-Gon would've been to Anakin. Sol will be one of the best SW characters by the end of the season. Guaranteed.

The “good twin” gonna kill her “bad twin” and become the bad twin. Qimir is sus.

Carlac is the planet where Ahsoka first meets Bo Katan.

Lunch is Canon!

This is the reaction I been waiting for

She struggles to use the force the same way Cal does in Jedi: Fallen Order

Right before your reaction started, I was able to figure out what I originally thought was a problem with the story. Early on, Yord mentions the death of Osha's sister, and then later seems surprised when Sol mentions her sister. I realised his surprise is that Mae was left out of the Jedi records, not that she existed. Osha would've told Yord about her family when they were at the Temple.

Beside the story and characters, I love how the show made it look 'old' - The Droids and computer screens and all that look and feel 'lower' tech then the Skywalker timeline. Hard to do in a high tech fantasy worlds.

Important point in this episode. It deals with loss and how it affects each person in particular the twin sisters and their path after that loss. Sol the best character already but really not looking forward to his fate from what we know later in the Star Wars universe. If I get another season of Sol I’d be onboard for that at least

We saw Qui-Gon use the Force to calm Jar-Jar in the bongo through the Naboo planet core trip -- Jar-Jar falls unconscious and Obi-Wan says, "You overdid it."

Is it possible that the little "born as two" poem Mae and Osha share with each other is foreshadowing that they're a Force Dyad?

Yes!!! i am so glad you guys did the reaction!! i loved the show, so hyped to watch the darlings enjoy this ^.^

I love how Pip is a cross between BD-1 and a cassette player 🤣 (Also, I think that Indara /did/ see it coming and made a Decision, microanalyze her face journey..*mumbles* ep2 *mumbles*)

Who needs an autopilot when your chair can become a droid 😆 4 times, saw your tour of Lucasfilm, didn't realize you both got invited to another little bonus. That's awesome, congrats to both of you. I am already so in love with this show, see you on the next one!

Master Dooku, Master Sol and Master Qui-Gon would have been a great trio.

I appreciate that you guys still did a reaction to this even know you’ve already seen it ❤ I really enjoyed these two episodes looking forward to seeing what happens next!!! May the force be with you both 💛

6:47 Yes indeed ^^ That Star Wars feeling is right there 🙂 Composer did very nice work & i look forward to hearing more of his talent as season goes on 🙂 Lee Jung's dedication for the role is pure goodiness. He learned more English for this & the way he speaks at certain situations is a la Bueno 🙂 Jord is nice character & slight smile that Jecki gave to Osha when in Jedi Ship was cool 🙂 Gonna restream first two episodes before third arrives on next wednesday. Doing via "65 Led Telly to wind-down at evenings 🙂 I have Forever Sub to Disney+. I sincerely give 8/10 to The Acolyte after first 2x episodes. Later i'll add them to couple websites & blog post 🙂 Leslye stated interest of working with Star Wars Live act show based on Knights of The Old Republic era. I'm all in for it as she's a talented director & not bad writer 🙂

Thank you Kyle and Bendu!!! I am loving this series so far and thankful for reactions like yours that are so positive! I just still love me some Star Wars!!!!❤❤❤❤

Thanks for saying you've seen it already, not many reactors say. Still a great reaction, Enjoying this so far Love it!

The sheer joy in your voice when you saw the Selkath was wonderful.

I'm thinking the daggers were dipped in poison from her home world.

The cyborg guy's design reminds me of Jerec from Dark Forces 2, the way his eyes look. Is he possibly a memeber of the same near-human-but-without-eyeballs race as Jerec?

"It's Lobot, but all bot." LOL

It's here!!!! This show has made me really happy so far. All the aliens, all the amazing acting & choreography. Cannot wait for your new on the ground reactions for the new episodes 😍

Leia didn't come back from her space swim like: "Hey you guys, you can still hear everything out there!" I'm a pedantic hater. Osha tanked a planetary re-entry impact. Did she learn that at space-firefighter academy? It's always the failed opportunity that hits hardest with these efforts. My suggestion scene: She's strapped in to her chair when she glances at a untethered mech-nic crate... unlocks it with her Swiss Army droid.... Yay a spacesuit, a star-warsie helmet, and some mag-boots! The ship's breaking up... osha struggles on the ''wing'' surfing atmosphere like it's Dark Star... a leap of faith (the force?)... Some free fall... a cool parachute... big shot of flaming inferno as she floats onto a desolate planet. More drama? Do the damaged chute trope and high speed impact into snow. She's got a sprained ankle oh no, and the Jedi save her from hungry space Yeti. Yes still ridiculous, but It connects her skillset to survival. It's epic, and It's narrowly plausible. But no, just ignore the campfire in space. It looks like her burned childhood trauma ok. duh.

I couldn't help but imagine your reaction when I saw the retro Gonk.

The comment about the person who has the most dangerous illegal job in the galaxy being named Osha was hilarious.

Using a saber as a flashlight reminds me of exploring dark times as Cal Kestis in Fallen Order

Qui-gon calmed Jar-Jar’s mind

Such a refreshing series, love the high republic is finally getting adapted to the screen

It's amazing seeing the High Republic Jedi and world in live action. I was just replaying Jedi Survivor recently and really loved that aspect of the story, so this show feels so complimentary. They did a good job of making these Jedi and this world feel different from the prequels.

I'm sorry but it's gotta be said....Carrie Ann Moss who Disney has been pushing to the forefront on all video promos is killed in the first 5 minutes..........yeah the first 5 minutes.

On a few forums and comments I could see comparisons to the Kotor soundtrack

Anybody else get "Airplane" vibes when the prison ship's pilots fold up into pilot seats? In both cases, the autopilot mode occupies the pilot seat(s) when engaged.

One of the things I missed in other Star Wars films and shows are the names of the planets.

One of my favorite Star Wars reactors along Louise Julie.

Sol seems VERY Qui-Gon to me

Kyle and Bendu GET IT!

I enjoyed both episodes. Some of it did feel a little stunted and they chose kind of weird moments to end each episode, it feels like this is supposed to be one continuous movie or something, but I'm hooked. Mae / Osha are both great, I'm fascinated to find out more. And I absolutely love Mae's costume design and how she fights.

Glad to be back boys

Osha has an solid alibi for the 1st murder. Case closed.

I enjoy this Star Wars channel. It's becoming a favorite.

hey kyle happy belated birthday! I'm glad this show dropped on your birthday, a sick gift This drew me right in the second Mae walked into that outpost tavern and wanted Indara to fight her The mystery is juicy, the characters are becoming my new favorites (yes even Yord) and the lore is getting thicker with info that I never even knew I wanted! I can't wait to see how this unfolds!

My only issue with the show so far is some of the comedy did not land for me but besides that I've enjoyed the first 2 episodes and it has a great hook regarding whatever this Sith plot is along with the fire backstory. A solid start and I hope it only gets better from here

While I can agree that most channels might be going to hard on some minor stuff and likely wanted to hate it. I also cant imagine calling the writing in this show thus far any thing better than spectacularly mediocre in my opinion. It’s a problem for me.

This show and everything in it is amazing and Kyle I’m so jealous you got to go to the red carpet Hollywood world premiere of The Acolyte, that’s so awesome

I have been looking forward for this

My first time watching I believed Mae was one person with some kind of mental disorder causing her to black out and turn evil (assuming most people thought that), then of course we find out about her sister 👏

I love seeing the older model droids. My favorites in the past were the astromech models in KOTOR.

Really enjoyed your reaction, esp. given the drama some other channels stir :) As for "Why didn't she see the knife"? Again hubris, underestimating her opponent and too much focus on one thing. I mean why didn't Jedi sense the Order 66?

Seems ok so far.

The truth is that I loved it, I remember back in 2021 when the High Republic came out, youtubers and pseudo fans mocked and bastardized that time of the saga and what was coming out without having read absolutely anything... I included myself looking askance at buying the first novel And now that I've read almost everything, missing nothing more than a young adult novel and three comics, I think it's the best thing that's come out of the saga in a long time... and the series is going to be just as incredible

Arguably if you're viewing chronologically, you could start with Young Jedi Adventures since it takes place in 235 BBY, roughly a hundred years before this. That's if you can stomach sitting through a Star Wars show written for pre-schoolers.

04:25 Carrie-Anne Moss. Thank you. Those other guys didn`t notice that.

Sol = Qui-Gon Yord = Obi-Wan (Ep.1, specifically) Mae = Anakin

Yes! My favorite two humans are back with yet another reaction to yet another Star Wars series! I loved this episode. I appreciate y'all so much and your thoughts/perspective/theories. Looking forward to hearing from you guys during The Acolyte.

FIRE IN SPACE....

Also the Swiss army droid pip is my new favorite droid of all time

What's up with the blue letters at the opening instead of the classic crawl?

Good to see you were as hyped as I was when I noticed the Selkath

Sol is the best character, a mix of Qui Gon and Obi Wan. Can not wait to see more of Indara in flashbacks.❤ Sol and Indara are the only reasons for me to watch this show🤘 Greetings from Germany

24:55 is that island they’re on Ach to from the sequels? If so that’s a great tie in!

What level of irredeemable am I that I got excited at the sight of Neimoidians and the mention of the Trade Federation? I really am the Glup Shitto person for Phantom Menace stuff.

Love the clone wars introduction voice reading the opening lines! First two episodes were epic! Really like Master Sol one of my new favorite characters!

amazing start to a new series. I'm really excited to go on this journey

My favorite part of the show so far is the mystery tone. The idea of Jedi being put to the test. Will their code be a strength or a “weakness.” The sith and their allies are trying to exploit it to their advantage. My favorite characters: Sol and his padawan. Sol is awesome. Reminds me of Chow Yun Fat’s character. She’s got a bit of Ahsoka’s energy and has a bit of sol’s compassion. But she also believes in the rules to a degree. The score is so unique while also being similar to the mystery elements from The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones particularly when Obi wan is pursuing leads on Jango and Kamino.

I like master Sol, he reminds me of master Qui-Gon
