The Acolyte Ep 3 - A step in the right direction for this Star Wars show? 

Funny that everyone is saying that they liked ep3 the best. It’s the opposite for me. Was on board for 1 and 2. 3 kinda lost me. And like you, the only reason I’m going to keep watching is the Star Wars branding and I enjoying listening and joining the (healthy) discourse around the shows. Hoping it gets better from here

I really feel the complete opposite, i liked episode 1 and 2 and really didnt like or feel this episode at all

I thought the first 2 episodes were ok but this one lost me- I just thought it was rather boring. The acting and dialogue was especially bad this episode. Instead of creating a new sect of witches, I wish they would’ve just went with the night sisters of Dathomir, I felt these new witches were again just kind of boring. The sets and the costumes again I’m not buying it, very CW look. Hoping the quality improves over the season.

I think we will the same flashback from a different point of view in a future episode.

Words of advice guys, never build your home out of flammable stone bricks!

I LOVE that you are covering this show!

I can't wait to get the other two versions of how the fire started

Something as subtle as What did you do? They each delivered that line from their perspective which i think we will see Mae's interpretation of that night somewhere down the line.

I'm so glad to finally have you talk about a Star War 🙌

I kept hearing online about how we were all gonna hate episode 3 of The Acolyte, but I really liked it! I don’t really understand this mass hysteria of hate for this episode.

I agree with you, not every show has to be for you and this one definitely isn't for me. I'm more familiar with the OG movies and characters [Han, Leia, Luke, Darth and Chewie] and these new stories are just boring to me and the acting is sub par. But if people like it, good for them.

Koy, I get it. I personally got into it from the beginning but. Everything isn't for everyone, and I appreciate non combative way you're handling this way. Very adult of you.

I enjoyed the first two episodes but this one was weak.

Yeah guess I'm in the minority from what I've heard so far, I'm not sure why everyone who saw this early was saying this episode was mind-blowing, it was my least favourite so far. Maybe it's because I have a super low tolerance for petulant, bratty kids. I don't think it massively changed the lore of Star Wars either like people were saying either. I dunno the writing, direction and acting all felt like a step down from episodes 1-2 to for me. Jodie was great though! Also no way are we 3 hours into this story so far...with these episode lengths its more like an hour forty-five

This whole take is a joke right? Surely you can’t be serious? Waiting for you to say….just kidding! Wtf?

there's a lot of crap Star Wars reviews, this was good. PLEEEEEASE clean off your phone tho dude

Thanks for covering Acolyte. Love hearing your opinion as a casual Star Wars fan

I definitely agree that a slight reworking of this episode would’ve made a better first episode. I also really appreciate having this kind of conversation and discourse because it is important that we do. Being able to talk about something you don’t like without completely shitting all over other peoples enjoyment is so important. And especially realizing that people come into things with different expectations and experiences. Because the Internet is already full of people who don’t like it for disingenuous reasons and don’t come at it in good faith. At my local comic book shop I would always have conversations with the manager about Star Wars and we didn’t always agree, but we both loved Star Wars and it didn’t devolve into a yelling match. It usually ended with huh interesting point, I’ll consider that.

“Baby face old beard” lol …Same I feel this should have been the first episode

Agreed! Loved seeing another Zabrak species (Darth Maul species) in live action! Don't get to see much outside video games and comics. Ep 3 definitely picked up the interest of the story! Thanks for sharing Coy!

180 million...jesus.....

Thanks for the review Coy. I didn't listen to your reviews for a long time because you said something to the effect of when reviewing something if you can't say something nice don't say something at all. Which isn't the best approach when trying to get an honest assessment of the content being reviewed. Honesty, positive or negative should always be paramount. Glad you're taking that approach now. Never stop doing it like this because it's appreciated.

Great video Coy, very intriguing in the real world comparisons you saw within The Acolyte. Aniseya and the magic/sorceress group is very interesting. From outfits it seems they aren’t apart of the Nightsisters’ but I am interested to see what makes Aniseya and her clan distinctive to the Nightsisters. 5:29 I see your point and it is very interesting, like how Aniseya explained the Thread, where one person couldn’t push back Aniseya’s force, while when 2 people work as one could compete against it. So for. That view point I could see where Osha and Mae inhabits one body.

This was a great episode for me, Im always a fan of seeing different factions that have different ideas or beliefs of the force, having this coven be exiles from potentially Path of the Open Hand or offshoot of the Nightsisters. Plus, using dark magick to potentially Clone....hell yes. The Marvel series of the Phases of High Republic are pretty good reads for Star Wars Comics.

Like you, I feel only a few characters are standing out. My main point of interest for this show remains the mystery of what happened, which we're starting to get more info on, but there's definitely still more to learn. I'm also intrigued by the coven's perspective on the Force, that they don't see themselves as dark side; it adds more complexity to that part of the Star Wars universe than I think we've seen in any of the live action media. Because of this I'm still keeping an open mind,; however, I can't help but compare it to reading The Da Vinci Code, where the mystery meant I ploughed through the book, but it wasn't satisfying when everything was revealed. I'm hoping that this show will build to a strong ending; the potential is definitely there; what did the Jedi do that led to Torbin's decisions to take a vow of silence and immediately drink the poison?

I think they didn't start with the flashback to prime you to not just believe everything you're seeing. I think the show is really focusing in on challenging your preconceived notions of what the truth is - you first see Mae attacking a Jedi (someone we've been told are always good and just) at it looks like she's just another dark-side person who hates the light. We see that Osha believes the Jedi to be perfect, good saviors who rescued her and she's 100% willing to see the worst in her sister, having believed her whole life that she killed her entire family (something the Jedi told her happened though she didn't actually see Mae do all of that). And then we got Torbin clearly feeling guilty enough to kill himself when facing Mae again. I think if we got the flashback first, we might not have questioned Osha's belief that her sister was dead/started the fire and killed her family. Knowing Torbin killed himself and apologized to Mae lets us know that what we saw this episode wasn't the whole story. By keeping us in the dark of what the characters saw that night, until now, it allowed us to think we knew what was going on, only to realize that we let our own pre-concieved notions and their own take of events guide the way we viewed all the characters. I think it's much more impactful to make the audience have to confront assumptions they made after they've been allowed to settle into them - having seen the breadcrumbs along the way that the story we've been told might not actually be the case The Acolyte seems to be in the position to really be able to point out propaganda and the re-writing of history and how different groups view the same actions which is a great thing to explore in a story like star wars that is filled with powerful organizations claiming what they're doing is what's best for the galaxy. Of course, we haven't seen everything yet, but I'm hopeful they can stick the landing just like Andor did. For me, the characters/concept was investing from the start once I realized that it was going to be about indoctrination and how people deal with discovering everything they thought they knew (were taught by an authority) and then acted on (devoted their life to) might not have been correct. I can see so much potential for them to explore this with Osha and Yord and perhaps we'll see more about what Sol knows/doesn't know and why the wookie jedi has chosen isolation after what happened. Maybe it's just that I'm interested in seeing deconstruction from high-control group stories because it's so close to my own experience, but if that's not something that is in your wheelhouse, then it might be more difficult to identify with the characters

I love how honest and upfront you are with your thoughts. A dangerous thing to do in the fandom! But you are doing it the "right" way. Offering your personally opinion, and supporting people's who differ from yours. Can we clone you? Is that an option? We need a million more Coys in the world plz

1 / 2😮Coy. I have been racking my brain to come up with a simple straightforward comment to you about the Jedi and I cannot do it. No matter how I approach it in my head it never ends in a good way. If you look at the Jedi as if they were like Buddhist monks then maybe that might work, but the problem is in the world of Star Wars if the Jedi do not have an adversary to justify their existence, then all they have is the idea that there is this all encompassing mystical power that if you are not trained by us in controlling it you could become evil or consumed by the lust for the power of the force. So what happens if there’s peace in the galaxy, then what they are doing is then going throughout the galaxy looking for people who have the ability to tap into this power and then take them away to train them in how to control it. I also read that there’s a division within the order, that if you do not become a night or a master or even a Padawan, there is literally a council of reassignment where I am assuming they train you for I guess civil service or something else and I also think there’s like an option for you. Just just go back home again, which is weird because I seriously doubt the Jedi would let anybody who has forced sensitivity to just go home and not keep an eye on them. Either way I know this is just fantasy stuff but in the long run, it just looks bad in general for the Jedi as an organization not saying that they are bad but as an organization, they have a lot to lose if something goes down to make the order look bad because now they literally have a reputation to maintain.

I really wanted to like this show and I thought we were in store for another Andor quality show, but it just isn’t there after 3 episodes. I agree the writing has been lacking a lot of substance, but I disagree on the acting. Sol is the only actor in this show holding it up right now (the poor dialogue is hurting more.) I just can’t escape this ”fan faction” quality the show puts off. I think it’s going to be a 3 strikes your out for this show. If a show is unable to hook you after 3 episodes, and it’s been a headache to get through, there’s no point in continuing. Happy for those who are able to find something to like

Coy, at 180 million $ this show has to be for everyone.

2 / 2😮 it’s like how Sol said in the first episode they have political enemies trying to take them down. Why are the Jedi concerned about political enemies?

Child acting was awful, Jedi are colonial oppressors… Begun the Woke Wars have

Coy it's like the transition therapy,if you are so young did you really decide to transition or you were manipulated.

I don't have any issues with this series yet course i have a feeling Sol knows whose pulling the strings somehow..

Too bad there were not any man around to eastblish fire saftey protocols😅. Guys relax its a joke i have no stakes in the american culture war.

Side note: This episode was the thing to truly show me why people think that Jodie Turner-Smith would make a great Storm.

Hey Coy! I've been enjoying the show so far. I definitely think this was the strongest episode. I'm a fan of linear storytelling, but I can appreciate jumping and flashbacks when done well (Reservoir Dogs). So I would have liked to see this maybe be the first episode. Maybe using this as ground work to invest us into the main character better. So I hope they keep picking up episode by episode, pulling us in a little more each time. One can hope.

That was the worse thing I ever seen associated with Star Wars.

I also liked this episode more than the first two. I even liked it as a stand-alone. I’m generally ok with flashbacks (probably from growing up reading comics and missing issues all the time, and then reading them out of sequence months later 😅), but not sure yet why not start with this episode. Anyway, let’s see what the writers are doing as the story unfolds.

Hahaha Good Minus is how I’d sum this one up. Still enjoying the show, my favourite star wars live action since Andor. But it’s missing something to really invest in.

The episode order was wrong. This should have been the first episode. RU-vidrs overhyped this episode and it was just meh. It doesn't break anything. Two religions interpreting the force. I think it's closer to George's Star Wars than Dave's. It reminds me of the Knights of the Old Republic twins story.

I need to watch this episode again, liked parts of it but some parts were venturing into the cheese area. I wanted that ascension ceremony to be awesome and it just wasn't.

I haven’t started the show yet but you got me hyped I know I can always trust you 😌

No lie I think this should’ve been apart of the premiere and had it been that finale episode for the opening week would’ve held more weight and just watching it this weeks episode just felt outta place for me

Coy I’m so glad I got to see you and Hector and Benny the Comicstorian talk comics at least once. Wish it could have been more but at least it happened. R.I.P Comicstorian

Honestly, I thought this was the worst episode of a Star Wars Disney+ show yet. If this had been the first episode, I probably would have tapped out already. Undecided if I want to continue.

I JUST realized that the actress who plays the older twins is Rue from Hunger Games and also Bodies Bodies Bodies. Loved this episode. Teared up during the conversation with her mother as she makes her choice.

Coy if you're a casual STAR WARS fan than this show was the wrong one to start your journey with, you probably should start with The Mandalorian or Ahsoka. Those shows were set in the aftermath of The Original Trilogy and had more simple story lines, more recognized characters and lore than The ACOLYTE, which is full of Expanded Universe references and lore that a casual just wouldn't connect with right away. I'm sorry but that is the case with this particular show, but it's good that episode 3 has brought you in a little bit more now. May the Force/Thread be with you. ☺️😉

For me, idk I just didn’t love it but there was enough intriguing things that I’ll keep watching. I like some of the concepts they’re shooting for, just don’t love the execution. Guess we’ll see where it goes.

No new information or development 🤷 I'm out 👍 Episode one - they tell us that Osha had a sister and family. They died in a mysterious fire. Episode two- Characters discuss that Osha had a sister and family and they died in a mysterious fire. Episode three- here's Oshas sister and family, watch them die in a mysterious fire. I guess the show is running on a thrilling 3 episode "tell, tell, show" system... Y'know, to make sure we've really chewed our food before we swallow. This show is terrible and I've lost so much respect for channels who's insite I'd usually admire, my heart sunk when I watched the Reel Rejects suck Disneys dick dry over this show 🤦 it's not just bad Star Wars, it bad overall entertainment. That apparently you're not allowed to not enjoy.

The Acolyte budget-180 million Dune 2- 190 million Yes, one is an 8 episode series. But with the run times not being radically different considering these budgets, what the hell? Disney could pick up a few lessons from Dune. Just like George Lucas did.

I'm so glad I finally came to your channel cuz after watching your first vid on the show this one is like your reading my mind now. 💯 💯 💯 Should have been EP 1. Such amazing acting in this ep but it's hurt by the writing for sure. The chanting was terrible!! Something seemed off about the end as well...maybe we saw a false backstory. I think I only identify with the wookie.

Love from Belgium 🇧🇪 ❤ I watched the 2 first episodes but I didn’t liked it. Hope for the best for the show ❤

The position of power has already been tackled, and better in High Republic Phase 2 books which is 300 years in the past. I'm glad you enjoyed it but for me after episode 3 I will not continue to watch and just stick to high republic books where better writing thrives.

Pagan Witchcraft, and cringe modern progressive politics aside changing the force that George Lucas established the last 50 years is going to have devastating effects on the story. I'm fully convinced Leslye Headland never watched a starwars movie or she's intentionally rage-baiting SW fans as a gotcha moment.

Definitely think they should’ve just given us the first four episodes all together. This episode low key dragged for me, probably cuz the story telling and dialogue.

I have no issue with the females witches nor the lesbian couple in it. What really doesn't make it a show for me is a few things. One, the dialogue. The dialogue feels very pedestrian and simple, like its extremely watered down. 2, it doesnt feel epic as Star Wars normally is. It feels like a fan made the show. And not knocking on any fan made films. The recent wolvernine is my favorite one so far. And that felt more grand than the Acolyte. I mean c'mon the wookie jedi doesnt look like a wookie at all. It looks like a regular guy in jedi clothing WITH a wookie mask on.

What I like about the series so far that it does feels like an onion. Now we’re seeing the Jedi in a more good light, but is it really? I would oppose a reorganization of the episodes orders because of this very reason. I think the commentary here is about Jedi as a religion / colonizers and what is the ‘right’ way to use the Force / Thread, who has the right to wield it and why the coven should abide to the Jedi rule. Another interesting point is that just like Anakin, Osha and Mae don’t seem to have an actual father but the Force / Thread. I’m actually very intrigued by this aspect of the Jedi’s dogma getting explored and how the Force at end of the day supersedes and outlived both the dogmas of the coven and the Jedi.

What did the Jedi do that was so bad they need to be killed by Mae? Why did the Jedi Torbin need to drink the poison because he didn’t do anything wrong? Mae should be getting hunted because she killed everyone. How did Mae start a fire that burned brick everywhere? Why are all the witches not burnt but supposedly dead, so how did they die? If you watched episode 3 and didn’t think the writing was dumb, I can’t feasibly care about your opinion moving forward.

I agree that I would have prefered to see this episode as the first one, it would have given a lot more context to Mae and Oshas relationship, and the extent of their powers. I am also curious what powers Mae could have gotten from "ascending", maybe Osha could go back to her home planet to try to "ascend" to be able to fight her sister. We saw Osha's ceremony got interrupted by the Jedi, so i wonder if that could be causing some sort of power imbalance in the girls "thread".

They hate you for what you were born into the world as. STAR WARS is dead now......

Also, are we just gonna ignore the fact that grown up OSHA and MAE are identical twins yet episode 3 had them as kid sisters that weren’t identical but fraternal? I suppose that’s not bad directing or casting and we will pretend it wasn’t noticeable.

I agree that Jodie Turner Smith was excellent. She exudes a powerful regal quality.

Coy,how come you want the Jedi to be deconstructed so much? Is Superman the only character youre cool with being truly altruistic?

The episodes are BARELY 30 mins. So we've only seen 90 mins, not 2hrs and 40 mins 😂

I didn't like the episode execution-wise, but its themes and questions totally point in a compelling direction adding to the prior two episodes thus far.

I liked this episode but I was left feeling a little wanting… Thanks for sharing your thoughts as some of it spoke to what that possibly was.

I feel like there is a cool payoff that is coming but I do agree that maybe by the time it happens the journey may have not been worth it with the quality of the episodes.

Hi Coy, Great to see you talking about The Acolyte again. I very much enjoyed your take on this. I've just finished watching the episode. I'll start with my overall thoughts. I thought it was alright, I didn't absolutely love it, and I definitely didn't hate it. I really enjoyed the witches interpretation of the force. I'm always really confused by fans that have to be SO strict when it comes to the lore of star wars. Surely with something like the force there will be different interpretations of it depending on the characters outlook. This is just the way this coven of witches interpret it. I liked that. I have also seen fans annoyed that they think it totally breaks canon by having two witches using the force to create life. Remember, this was 100 years before the phantom menace, and clearly done in secret. The jedi might not have even known about this, and by the end of the show they could all be dead so the story wouldn't have even been passed on. Also, even if they are left alive at the end, I very much doubt they'd want to go around telling everyone that this ability exists. I imagine they'd keep this a secret. I also find it bizarre that people would be annoyed at the portrayal of a group of women, and two shown to clearly be in a relationship. We have covens of nuns in real life. I imagine some of those nuns may be gay, and possibly be in hidden relationships. It seems a silly thing to lose your mind over and definitely not something that "RUINS STAR WARS" I hope we get to see how that one little fire managed to destroy the entire facility, as I did think that was a bit of a plot hole, so I really hope we get to see more of what happened to Mae and the Jedi/Witches during that bit. I do have one little criticism, this being the music during the ceremony. I thought the non-diegetic song being the same words as the witches were saying was a little cringe, but it didn't ruin the episode for me. Overall, looking at the continued backlash of this show online, I honestly don't know what Star Wars "fans" actually want from a Star Wars show any more? This is the first fully new/fresh story we've had from Star Wars in years, actually focusing on a time period we've not seen before, including a whole set of new characters we've not seen before. It's far from a perfect show, I'm going to reserve my entire judgement until I've seen it all, but so far it's definitely not something I think is dreadful. My last comment I'll leave is to all those people that spend their time totally outraged, making videos about how "THIS HAS RUINED EVERYTHING..BLA BLA BLA", there are PLENTY of other amazing shows out there to watch, even in the sci-fi genre. Spend your time watching stuff that is superb, shows like Severance, Silo, Dark, Foundation etc. There are so many good shows you could use your channel to talk about. Don't constantly live in a negative mindset and start giving other shows their due deserve. Cheers

They want us to believe that the Jedi killed all the witches without showing it? That’s not believable and is why people are so pissed!

The chant was cheesy? It's a show directed at a younger audience, so it's hard for me to peg that as a flaw, but to each his own I suppose! I did like the subplot you mentioned there, so with you on that! Also having another view of the force was interesting, it's always cool to see how another sect views what we know of as The Force. The likability of characters isn't an issue for me yet, but I think that could have been fixed if they simply didn't make these episodes so tight. For example: A scene of the Jedi's before they arrive just chatting about whatever would have helped, then seeing the contrast of how they talk to each other, as opposed to how they talk to other people. That just would've helped for character development and contrast. I'm hopeful that episode 4 will be the _this is why you're watching this_ kind of episode since it's halfway into the story. As always it's nice to see how you view things without being all toxic about it. It's very interesting to here opinions like this born not of negativity.

Anyone who liked epidode 3 .. really needs to put their taste in a rehabilitation center .

Glad you liked it. The show being this decisive will kick the normies off of the series, which I’m worried will hurt future Star Wars projects.

The actresses playing young Osha and Mae are pretty awful.

Lol. Hilarious. You are basically a meme at this point

Jury is still out for me on this show. I’m hearing episode 5 is going to be the best of the series. Let’s hope it just keeps getting better and better!

I feel like the best Star War shows are the grittier smaller scale stories like Andor and Mandalorian where the main characters aren't Jedi or anything crazy just normal people for the most part. But these shows with much bigger stakes involving Jedi and Sith like this, Obi Wan Kenobi, and Ahsoka always sort of feel cheap and a little goofy at times. Say what you want about the movies, they (mostly) captured just how big of a deal the force users are, the shows makes it feel like I'm watching watered down jedi for some reason. And I absolutely feel the same, like I'm only watching out of obligation because it's Star Wars, not because I am super interested in what's going on, even if I don't think it's that bad.

The major issue i have with this show is it's predictable. Whatever this cult is isn't really important whether they are a sect of night sisters or another force cult. The mystery is did the Jedi eradicate them out of fear and they were actually innocent. The answer is obviously the Jedi acted out of fear , probably provoked by the witches and the Jedi slaughtered them in what they thought was self defense, and in doing so wiped out the last of their kind , and then justified it as taking care of a threat. Then later they realized they made a mistake and covered it up from the council. while mae the survivor was found by a sith, told her story to him and that sets the sith up to move more aggressively with their plan . Darth Sidious destroyed the Jedi without using a weapon ( for the most part) which again is the sith way as quoted in this show. Maybe I get some small details wrong or more small details are added but that's the story. A story that was done a lot in 70s thrillers and devil movies. Just because you port that into Starwars doesn't make it suddenly original.

Some said this feels like CW quality of episodes. Are they right? I will say, the Mandalorian was great, Kenobi had good moments and was not bad, Andor was fun (but i need to remove biases and rewatch it), Tales of the Jedi was great, Mandalorian s3 needed work, Ahsoka was similar to Kenobi but was overall a good time, Empire was fun but missed the ball for me, and Acolyte should have used a different era in my opinion. Old Republic could have been touched. Or the Plagiues Novel or Bane, however, this show does struggle to push a sense of joy for it. It is new, however, the spirit of Star Wars seems to be lacking. I realize adding my preferences above would be as confusing

Blimey - you saw this Episode as an improvement over 1 and 2..?? For me this was one of the worst Star Wars things I've seen - In truth I'd rather watch the old Holiday Special....!!! The writing and some of the acting here are something out of a school play rather than an expensive supposedly 'professional' production. The score is totally forgettable and the volume makes the show constantly feel claustrophobic with no real sense of scale..... How the heck did Hedland get this gig..??

"It doesn't feel cohesive." This is why I'm not interested in The Acolyte at all. Also, I've never been interested in seeing witches within the Star Wars franchise. There's too many of them right now, and it makes me sick. It complicates The Force, and George Lucas always had a wiser plan than this.

Definitely tapping out of this show unfortunately. I still cant believe this was put to our screens. How can they spend so much money on something so terrible? There is absolutely nothing except Sol that is redeemable.

This was actually my least favorite of the three. I just didn’t really care for the flashback and the pacing felt a lil slow. Also knowing there’ll be other perspectives of that night made me not as interested.

I love most Star Wars. This episode was terrible. Born from the force? Fires that destroy stone buildings ? Why did she kill everyone? How are they even dead?

it´s 100% disney star wars at its finest, yaaaasss, yaaaass

Since they killed off mama. Do we get to actually know how she created them? probably not right! another hole.

I didn't like a single thing about this. The writing was terrible. The acting was just god awful. I know the two young girls were kids but they were stiff, bland and boring. One sister wanting to kill the other just because she wanted to leave, is absurd. There was not a single redeeming thing about this one for me, at all. That's ignoring all the hidden meaning stuff that is in this episode, which makes it even worse.

So...this episode is what Osha was mind-tricked to believe what happened, right?

I’m glad you liked this episode more Coy. I am more mixed. I think it’s because episode 3 has a lot of good individual parts but taken as a whole, it feels incomplete. The structure of the episode makes me feel that it doesn’t work on its own as well as Ep 1 or 2. If anything Ep3 and 4 should have been paired together instead of 1 and 2. With that being said, it may improve on a rewatch because there’s a lot of little details that seem to be bubbling beneath the surface.

love your stuff and thinking which is why i say this with out any negativity: you gotta fix your lighting situation man

I thought this was going to be more about bad cops but this is more like bad Jedi cult that snatches kids from their family, totally not on my bingo card. A lot more darker on the Jedi than I thought it would be. I didn't also expect this would be a lot about the Jedi gatekeeping who can use the force. So far it's interesting but i hope they explain more and not be too mysterious

😎

How does stone burn? Why would torbin commit suicide over doing nothing wrong?? Howd he age 40 years in 15 years?? How were the kids created if anakin is the chosen one completely ruins that? If they can create children out of nothing just make an army of them make a million of them?

Maul is a Zabrak, and the female Zabrak is of a different variantion of the species. The Dathomirian witches are similar. However, they tend to race the dead. The withces and ancient Sith had many dark arts that parallel the evil power of the sorcerers of Marvel

I agree. This should’ve been the first episode. I hope the series continues in this manner instead of the first two episodes. Tone and writing was working for me way more.

It is. Straight over the edge.

My problem with the episode if comes in the second half of the episode. Like what was up with Mae turing into a evil brat? She legit tried to kill her sister because she wanted to leave. Like what???? That instantly made the first 2 episodes worse because they were tyring to make her sympathetic that doesn't work if she's this evil devil child.

😂 coy You did a wonderful job on this video, but I have to admit I was more distracted in a loving way to your kitty in the background was head kept popping in every once in a while that was awesome. That was so adorable.😊

#Humblebrag congratulations on the 26 K heres to 30 and on. Love how your guys "accidentally" sneak in early promos for the channels on Capes and Cowells keep em comin. Glad you liked this one better, is it perfect no, but im still vested.

I mean, it's actually been less than two hours lmao. 40 minutes per with 5 minutes of credits, we're about 105 minutes (I know, splitting hairs here) I really appreciate the approach you're taking with this. I didn't really feel episode 1 & 2 and if anything, I might have had the opening scene and that's it. I would have gone right into Episode 3 right after that kind of 'prologue' with a Jedi murder and then moved the story on from there. which I felt was way better (& emotionally affecting) I think there's a section of the internet that relies a lot on that incel/white supremacist grift where the criticism is not just in bad faith, but pretty well hate speech. So when I see a channel examining it from a casual Star Wars fan who is deeply insightful on all the other topics, you know I have to hit that subscribe button. Cheers.
