It was the in unison “Ohhh! Pieced him up!” for me 💀🤣

I can’t believe Jeckie is gone. I hope to see Dafne Keen return as Lauren/X-23 in a cameo in Deadpool and Wolverine

The helmet and vambrace that the Stranger is wearing is imbued with a metal called cortosis, which is mostly from legends but has appeared in a couple canon books and comics too. First time it’s been used onscreen though, very exciting. It can short out plasma weapons (not just sabers, but blasters too) but it’s much more brittle than beskar, which is why Jecki could break it. It’s extremely rare and powerful/valuable, so when a new vein is discovered, it usually becomes a massive mining operation almost overnight.

13:44 Palpatine did the same thing when he was courting Anakin--he played the bumbling fool on Grievous' ship; he could have saved himself, but he wanted to see Anakin in action, and he wanted to corrupt him. Qimir was testing his pupil, he needed to see how far she was actually willing to go. Don't we as people do this too? We rarely show our true selves to people we don't know well, but as trust builds over time, we do. I think Sol knows this is Mae--he spent the entire season up to this point calling both Mae and Osha by name, so why did he go with "she" and "your sister" at this moment? This mission was a bust! He just lost everyone on a mission that was supposed to extract Mae. He wasn't going to make this mission a total failure. Instead of calling Mae's bluff, he went with it! Get her @$$ on the ship! What an episode this was! Did you guys catch the tune playing in the background when Qimir healed Osha? 12:58 Doesn't it sound like this to you? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-q7rVMSo2r0A.htmlsi=UwYQGfCBFOzjAXI9&t=31 What are the implications of this reveal? In fact, we can hear this theme at the start of the episode too, when Osha is coming to. I can't wait to see your reaction to this week's episode. It's good too =) Congrats on the new job, Madison =)

1:40 Best Double What Reaction 😮😂

Qimir went from "some random character" to "the MOST interesting character" in this series within 5 minutes. You'll learn more about the helmet and the vambrace(s) later. I have my theories about Qimir at this point, but take every word he says into account. I mean EVERY word. He's telling a lot about not only himself, but about "Dark Side" Force users. "The Jedi say I should not exist".... and he's absolutely right! Go back to last episode, as soon as the Jedi saw him, out came the lightsabers, and they went on the attack. He literally defended himself. Once they knew what he looked like, his only recourse would be to eliminate all witnesses because, as Palpatine said in Episode III, "The Jedi are relentless. If they are not all destroyed, it will be civil war without end." This series is bringing the Jedi under scrutiny, and I'm all here for it. I have a TON to say about all this, but I'll save it for another time.

Congratulations on the new job. And considering u also got a baby u guys are doing great I enjoy everything when u get it up so thank u.

i still think Darth Tenebrous is his master and he’s an acolyte himself

jACK, she proved to be above a padwan, and faced the enemy much more experienced than her, and was winning the fight.

Congrats on the new job!

Acolite episode 5 is the best star wars thing I have ever seen. These fights and choreography surpassed both the Phantom Menace movie and the clone wars episode. That helmet and arm armor is made from Cordosis metal it was in Star Wars Legends and in Star Wars Canon in Thrawn first book Where he was with Anakin on mision during clone wars. And in Vader comic during Imperium.

1:38 lol I loved the synchronized “What???” by you two. 7:42 one of the coolest ways someone was taken out 9:08 this was cool too but I wanted a little more fight from Yord 9:37 lol yall were in sync today Really enjoyed this episode. The fight choreography was great. Enjoyed your reaction.

Great reaction! Congratulations on the new job.

Well, if that death of Jecki hurt about you a lot, now imagine what X-23's death would be like.

RIP X-23 😞

Welcome back! Glad y’all are back on this BANGER ❤️

Congrats on the new job! I love in the ATX, and the job market is tough but better than many places. I hope your new job is fulfilling. Love the channel you two.

always love yalls reactions, thank you!~

Cortosis. That is how he is doing that.

yeah we as the audience are trained so much when it's obvious that we automatically think it must a red herring. I'm so sad for Jecki, this was her last trial before becoming a Jedi knight

Metal gotta be Cortosis it is first time we see it on screen, but in legends material it has been known to temporarily short out lightsabers :D

I've been lukewarm on this series because its been difficult as a non-bookreader to connect it to previous movies and shows. The more I rewatch it with reactors and hear the different observations, the more I appreciate it. I think you'll enjoy Ep. 6 and hope you'll watch it before Ep. 7 drops. I'm expecting Ep. 7 to be really good.

Easily the best episode of the season, thus far, with arguably the best lightsabre action seen in live action? (Maybe only just behind Qui Gon & Obi Wan vs Maul and Anakin vs Obi Wan). Just a shame we couldn't have had more episodes like this. I'm all for non-action episodes that character build and help develop the plot, but that requires a certain level of dialogue and acting to help facilitate that approach to a scene......something which, unfortunately, this series has lacked. But this episode was a banger.....straight 🔥

qimir is one of the best sith we've seen after one episode./ even more so in the next

I like that we're getting more backstory but this show, man, so many cool moments, so many slow af moments... really wish this show could be remade w/ a whole ass different editing team ... also, congrats on the new job Madison!

Its nice to see fans. Ive been getting nothing but anti DIZNEY/MARVEL/STAR WARS /haters in my feeds. note...JEDI and a SITH but just not by that name are easy kickable..

I still can’t believe they named the South Korean actor Sol. The next American they hire will be named Washington DC. lol.

Hey guys, Cortosis! Very Cool!! Now we're getting some where😎 Great reaction Lv ya mean it ❤️

I forgot the name of the material but the material makes lightsaber short out for a bit. Smart sith.

Love the content, you guys are great!!❤️ Is it possible we can get two reactions of the last two Indiana Jones films?🤠

Common people Sol its true dark lord of sith

dajtecludi asol is the true dark lord of the sith

I love everything about this show...except the characters Oshea and May...which is unfortunate as they are kind of the main characters. Lol Enjoying the show regardless.

I am just here to watch the characters I disliked get killed.

Congrats on the new job! I love in the ATX, and the job market is tough but better than many places. I hope your new job is fulfilling. Love the channel you two.
