I'm assuming this coven of Witches were exiled from Dathomir and were another parallel tribe to the Nightsisters, just like the Mountain Tribe of Dathomir in the Tales of the Empire. Wish we had a name for this particular coven.
No, they already said they aren't related. The showrunner and writers thought about making them Nightsisters and Dave filoni said "Not every witch needs to be a Nightsister". These are unrelated witches.
@@cole5953 yes like I said, another tribe of witches that weren’t night sisters, just like the Mountain tribe of witches shown in Tales of the Empire. There are many tribes and covens of witches both in Canon and Legends other than the Nightsisters, but most of them do share Dathomir as a home and this coven said they were Exiled.
@@jed1mstr All witches having ties to one particular planet is stupid. A good example of star wars being as large as an ocean and as deep as a pond. I would hope they wouldn't be connected to them at all.
Something that I never understood, not just about this episode, but in fantasy in general. How the bloody hell does a stone building catch fire? There was nothing around that door that should be flammable. A metal door, stone walls, ceiling, floor, yet the fire continues to creep in, what exactly is burning?
Something else definitely happened cause the witches didn't look like they died in the fire except for the mother speaking of the mother when she said she created the twins it reminded me of Darth Plagueis and his ability to create life
They did say the ritual to spontaneously create the twins was forbidden. But I definitely think Mae's "Power of One" was greater than their "Power of Many." In her psycopathic determination, if anyone said "Osha must be allowed to make her own choice," Mae would likely lash out at them, even their mother. She might on some level regret the action, but if it meant Osha would stay it would be justified in her mind.
You, Kyle Katarn, Blind Wave, and others who are positive Star Wars RU-vidrs are the best, and very blunt. Also, you guys are not as toxic as other youtubers so this is refreshing. I am so ready for Episode 4.
@@ThePresat0r Now now, let's not mention grifters on here, pal. Unsubscribed to him, I had. Best to move along with your life, got no time nor patience with toxic ass people.
Definitely a Rashomon situation going on. My guess is the Jedi sensed the fire and went to help, the witches thought they were coming with malicious intent, and drew their space bows in defense. The Jedi then drew their sabers and things spiraled out of control. Mai said at very beginning the Jedi don't draw their weapons unless prepared to kill. The Jedi being more skilled fighters ended up killing them. Torbin Tommen, being the youngest, would likely be the most affected.
Torbin drinking the poison and saying “we thought we were doing the right thing” certainly implies the Jedi must have done something that he himself considered morally questionable at best
3:26 she does have lovely hair. The music in the show goes well in setting up the scenes, the show is actually good. I wonder if people even watched it or just seen a video saying it's WOKE. I may be new to the channel but love your vibe ❤
I think the episode is telling this event from Osha's point of view. We have not seen things yet from Mae's point of view. There is always more than one point of view and in order to get the truth, you have to have all points of view. Though as Sebastian Stark (James Wood, TV series Shark) would remind us, "Truth is relative. Pick one that works." Also consider that whatever did happen, it is something that Torbin was willing to take his own life for. He said that "we thought we were doing the right thing" right before drinking the poison that Mae had placed on the floor. My view of this is that the Jedi returned to the coven that night, intent on taking the twins regardless the wishes of the coven, the coven resisted, and things escalated to violence. Let's face it, Sol was there PDQ, and that suggests that he was there before any fire started.
23:35 Aniseya the character who deserves more screen time. Actress played her very well 🙂 She would rock as Storm character in X-Men Live Act movie / telly show. Yes S01E03 episode of Beautiful The Acolyte is good & indeed the episde rode on pre-established Lore 🙂 Good times when streaming so far El Bueno S01 via D+ 🙂 Always dark room & 5.1 headphones when stream content 🙂
Mae: "You can't go. We're *stuck* here now". That sounded as if things were *already in motion* to create the chaos. How did the fire spread so quickly? And where was Mother Koril's body? Also, where was Kelnacca?
@@seangargan In 1 of the trailers, Kelnacca and Torbin seem to be fighting each other, and back on the ship, Torbin's face is scarred and Kelnacca's not in sight. Like just about everyone else, I'm spit balling questions.
"The Jedi do not take children!" They arrive, test potential children, and offer to take them along; the fact that most children say yes means they are "accepting" the children, not "taking" them. That the children are too young to make the decision for themselves is debatable, but Sol's statement was true, from a certain point of view. To prove the point, they probably also knew Mae was lying, but because she wanted to fail, to stay, they didn't force her to come along. Osha wanted to go, and though the Jedi would do what it took to fulfill her wishes, at least in this instance, they weren't taking her against her will.
Very happy to know I wasn't the only person to nearly spit her tea out when they said "the Jedi don't take children " LOL 😂 I think this was my favourite episode thus far #istilllovestarwars ✌️😄
My take is that Mae only intended to burn the picture, but the fire got out of hand and she dropped the lamp. Also, definitely sometime went down upstairs while Osha was escaping. For sure a Rashomon unreliable-narrator situation happening, and we'll surely learn more later.
@@crankfastle8138right because a guy kills himself because he was so mad a kid started a fire I wonder if the fire isn’t because of her is the show better or are you just so bitter that you comment on a reaction channels comments just to be a dick?
@@Ozymandias-ri6gz no, but I also have kids and I know they say stuff like that without really meaning it. I didn't think you can take her at her word, just like you can't take the narrative at face value.
@@benjaminportilla9297you have to consider the possibility that this wasn’t entirely an unreliable narrator situation and the stone temple burning down was just bad writing. They also previously in this same show had a fire burning in the vacuum of space. Continuity errors are a realistic possibility.
I'm so thankful for you and a few other youtubers who remind me that this entire fanbase isn't garbage. I'm loving this show so far, and it's so damn refreshing not to hear the words Skywalker or empire for once. Love all that stuff too, but we really need to get out of that time period for a while. Thank you for being so positive! 🙂
Liking or disliking something doesn’t make someone garbage. But treating people who don’t agree with you disrespectfully certainly isn’t the most constructive way to go about things.
Something happened between the Jedi and the witches during the fire. When Mae woke up, you can see Torbin had the wounds to his face. Maybe the witches thought the Jedi started the fire and things just escalated.
The guy killed himself and said we thought we were doing the right thing also the mom said we will consider your request not that you will also why was Mae so confident that the Jedi wouldn’t be a problem
My working theory is that when the Jedi came to pick up Osha, mother Koril doesn’t want that, she attacks the Jedi, the Jedi kill her and the other witches in self defense, Mae comes down only to see the Jedi kill her mom but doesn’t see how the fight broke out which explains her need for revenge, now while I can’t explain why Torbin killed himself, maybe he just felt guilty for robbing two girls of their mothers, it’s still just a theory
Sol is how I foresee the ideal Jedi, how a Jedi should be. He is kind, selfless and compassionate, but at the same time can be strong when needed. I always felt to many Jedi end up looking down on others, as if they are superior.
No need to apologize. Worth the wait. The actress who plays the young twins is no young Leia in acting quality, but nice bit of back story. I hope Yoda shows up at some point. He would only be 800 ish now. :)
With adult Mae saying how Jedi only draw their lightsabers to kill and that they do attack, I'm assuming the witches and the Jedi blamed each other for the fire and fought, and young Mae see's the lightsaber wounds on the bodies.
You twigged to it like most of us did - there’s definitely some missing (or outright fabricated) details from what really happened in this. We’re getting only a portion, and the portion we’re getting may not even be reliable. But that tracks, given that LH said the big influence from this episode was Rashomon. Tuesday can’t possibly get here soon enough.
I knew more witches would be exciting for you, & its good to see new/more, for lack of a better term, factions with their own interpretation of the Force. I have many questions regarding what happened here. Hopefully, they get answered in the coming episodes; I'm very confused with what happened. This is still a story about 2 sisters on different paths.
This is Roshimon in space. So we've only so far got one perspective so, we still have to see the perspective of the Jedi, and Mae. Leslie did say this was basically killed Bill meets Frozen now I've seen killed Bill but I've never seen Frozen so that remains a mystery to me but, in Kill Bill the Revenge was justifiable for what they did to her so I'm going to assume that Jedi did something horrible because after all master Tobin chose to drink poison instead of confessing what he did to the Jedi Council! And when he was on the ship when Sol was talking to me he already had the scar so something went down we didn't see which we will in upcoming episodes to gain a greater perspective of who is quote good and who is quote bad! I've got a bad feeling about this because I think Sol also did something he regrets although he says he's made peace with it whether he just help cover things up because after all the Jedi archives didn't mention anything about her having a twin sister so there's something Shady going on with master Sol!!
Thanks so much for the comment that their style of powers is different from the Dathomir witches! That's what I felt, but I wasn't really sure. My guess is that Sol is culpable for what happened, but I am guessing his actions came from excessive love (for a Jedi). Like, I suspect he tampered with Osha's memories to try and help her feel better. When Vernestra said that she underestimated Sol's attachment to Osha, he doesn't actually deny it. But when his Padawan Jecki asked him, he basically replied with a half-truth that contemplating the past can serve as a lesson not to repeat it. I feel like Sol knows better than to try and pull that sort of thing on Vernestra, but his Padawan is deferential to him. Bottom line - Sol does have attachment issues with Osha. And my suspicion is that this will have been the cause of ... problems. I am guessing that he also felt attachment to Mae, but he could see in her heart that she wished to stay. Maybe this will have caused some friction between him and Indara. We'll see when we get Mae's perspective, maybe. My guess is that whenever things went down, Indara ordered Sol to go look for the twins and get them to safety, while she dealt with the confrontation. So maybe Sol was calling out for Mae also simply to follow orders. Or maybe it was more...
I love how lately they've been exploring different peoples' perception of the force. Its everywhere out there, and Jedi may have numbers but they're certainly not the only ones that are force sensitive, so who's to say that the popular way is the right way?
I’m confident we haven’t seen the whole backstory yet. There’s going to be some Rashomon elements and there’s some perspective we haven’t seen yet. What did this sect do to get banished, and why were the Jedi so concerned about training children? I love witches in Star Wars. It’s interesting to see other ways the Force is manipulated. We need that to have more stories. Otherwise the Sith is the only dangerous threat out there. Though, we know in this series the Sith are in the background.
regarding lothal. the common way of stating years in star wars by fans and those who lived post empire is to use the BBY/ABY before that other epochs were used. one for example is set to the year of the ruusan reformation. one of the oldest epics that exist in star wars lore is the LY or Lothal Year. to my knowledge the only epoch set to the year of the formation of the republic is older the Lothal calender. so it very very old and was once quite prominant enough in star wars history to its own calender system.
I love how you can see from both points of view why the witches and the Jedi are so wary of watch other. The witches: because they just want to live their lives away from the High Republic and the Jedi. And the Jedi: because they are worried about both the threat of dark force wielders and for the safety and well being of the twins.
This is definitely "from a certain point of view" - Lucasfilm are definitely hiding something here, and whatever it is we now clearly see is what gave Torbin his scars. Did Master Indara and Padawan Torbin confront the witches? Did Mother Koril confront the Jedi? Did Darth Smiles come to collect Mae and mess everything else up... Guess we wait and find out! This was such a fun episode of television, figured you'd love the some more Witches showing up 😁
My theory is that we only saw what Osha saw and interpreted. I hope that many questions get answered in a later episode during a confrontation between Osha and Mae where Mae reveals what truly happened.
The one guy killed himself and said we thought we were doing the right thing also the mom said we will consider your request not that you will also why was Mae so confident that the Jedi wouldn’t be a problem there is an entire story they are telling
I agree. This episode was only from the point of view of the twins. I think that we in a later episode will see what happened between the witches and the Jedi.
Yeah this is rosheman in space. Leslie did say this is Kill Bill meets Frozen so I got half of the concept cuz I seen Kill Bill but not frozen! So the revenge is I'm assuming justifiable, Master torbin did willingly take the poison instead of confessing what he did to the Jedi Council, so it must be bad it. To me the number one question is whether or not Sol participated in it. Unfortunately I think he did even if it was just a cover it up because there was nothing in the Jedi archives about her having a twin!
See, I'm looking at everything through either an Andor lens, or the animation (both have been exceptional) This was the first episode that got me hooked in the way those two properties did. Was the writing (or the acting by the two girls) strong? I would not say that. But I think we're too married to one concept of what Star Wars is - it's a big galaxy. And I'd rather see someone really go for it and take a few chances and have different perspectives other than the Jedi & Sith (which is why I appreciated the witch content) And tbh I love seeing the queer & diversity representation. I'm sorry but when Star Wars starts serving looks like this, even if it gets messy sometimes, bring me all of it. I will give you all the chances. So I'm definitely looking forward to episode 4.
Someone said the filming style in this episode is like some other show, so it's likely we'll get another flashback from possibly Mae's perspective. I've a suspicion that wasn't actually Mae who started the fire. She spoke too creepily, like the Force vision Mae in episode 1. If you look at the bridge scene, Mae didn't seem surprised to see Osha there, she didn't seem eager for her to die, and she's even questioning what Osha might've done to cause all this. I suspect Mae might have just returned from her walk with the Zabrak mother and found the whole fortress destroyed, Mama Aneisaeya dead, and Osha the only one alive. Maybe Mae had witnessed Torbin and the rest doing something (killing the witches?), which is why she had this vengeance against them. I also suspect the Sith might have a hand in this. Maybe they're the ones conjuring up visions and moving the pieces? It's too convenient how Mae ended up (presumably) in their care. Also, there's the whole talk about how the twins might have been conceived through unnatural means (no father, something the witches don't want the Jedi to find out). Considering where we are in the timeline, this may be knowledge the Sith might've been pursuing with these witches. There's no way the Sith could've known of such things from Mae, as the twins aren't aware of this fact. The witches must have some contact with the Sith. Maybe it was them who didn't want Osha to go with the Jedi, as she would become a threat to the Sith? Perhaps the events of this series would be what ultimately inspire Plagueis to devote his studies into the creation of life, ultimately sparking the sequence of events towards the birth of Anakin Skywalker eight decades later…
I agree that I have more questions after this episode. As some have mentioned something else must have happened for the witches to have died. Also, the fact that Torbin unalived himself makes me think the Jedi have more to do with it than what we just saw. I’m a bit torn by Sol, I want to be on his side but he does seem too attached to Osha. Not very Jedi like. Still, I am thinking HE had nothing to do with the coven dying. What I also liked about the episode is the idea that perhaps the Jedi have too much control over force sensitive beings. I was thinking that other beliefs of what ‘the force’ is was interesting. However, they MUST have a better chant than ‘the power of one, two, the power of maaaaaaanyyy’ TOTALLY CRINGE!!!
@@LouiseJulie_I’ve been seeing these cultists on every reaction video and they’re certain any reaction that isn’t absolute hate must be bought and paid for
great video! thank you so much for being a positive voice in this fandom. A lot of the negativity has been getting to me lately and your take on this episode really cheered me up. This episode was so cool. I loved seeing a new group of force users with the coven, and seeing the main characters family. I also love the not great light the jedi are seen in this ep. They basically pressured the coven to let the girls take the test. And Osha and Mae only being 8 I get the idea of letting Osha choose her own destiny, but she is also only 8 lol most parents wouldn't just want to let their kid be taken by some people at 8 to never be seen again, so I cant blame like Korril for being super against it lol. I am so curious to get more answers about what happened that night. The main thing I noticed is the scene when their mother is training them and talking about the force they hear a noise from the next room, that generator room and when Koril goes to look there is nothing. I wonder if the Jedi or someone else tampered with something. So excited for the rest of this show
I don’t like this show at all, but if you do then you should ignore people that disagree and continue liking it, the same way I wouldn’t change my mind just because someone said they didn’t agree with me. At the end of the day we all have our right to our opinions and we should respect other people’s right to have their own, even if they disagree with ours.
I enjoy this show and all your Star Wars reactions. Any crime mystery like The Acolyte takes time and patience to unfold. There are a lot of new themes that intrigue me, such as the imbalance of power between individuals and societies. Instead of only a fight between good and evil, we see more of one for who gets to wield power. How they get it is also insightful, such as Mae gaining power over Osha when the uninvited Jedi barge in and interrupt the Ascension ceremony. Unintended consequences of overzealous Jedi who do that may have saved Osha from becoming the witch she did not want to be, but it also led to Mae's power grab after meeting with Mother Koril. We don't see them together at the end of the episode. We know that the other mother and a lot of witches die. Mae sits alone under the Bunta tree on Brendok after we see Osha regain consciousness for some still undisclosed reason and mysteriously unaware of what happened. Where is Koril? How does she use Mae's new power? And what would or who would induce Mae to leave the planet where she says she had everything she wanted? I like all of that.
I am so glad you enjoyed it. So many reactors on here were shitting hard on this episode. A lot of them were even saying that this episode alone would be the end of Star Wars. Most of them were hating on the fact that we saw the first interaction between the twins moms. All that happened was Mother Aniseya but her hand on Mother Koril's face and that was it. Also, I think some are also shitting on the fact that a younger Sol had been watching the twins for how ever long. I think this and the so-called lesbian scene was taken way out of context and people just need to F'N relax. I appreciate the fact that you didn't get all wishy washy like some of these other idiotic so-called reactors did. I don't waste my time watching those people's reaction. Btw, I think some of these reactors had a problem with the fact that Brandok was populated by only women and some of these reactors are women themselves. I just don't get these people sometimes. It's damned if you do and damned if you don't. Smh
Your only bringing a piece of why everyone's so mad at Disney's Star wars. It's not just because of THIS ONE EPISODE, but if u liked this good for you. Star wars has changed and we all have to accept it. I personally won't support this new Star wars since ray and kylo I been trying but not for me. Meh.
@@always4everjuly156 My point being is I haven't seen so much hate for this show until this 3rd episode. That's not to say there haven't been reactors hating the show before this episode. Because there were, but it was nothing like after this last episode. If you look at the graphic and title of these reactors videos it's so, for the most part, abundantly clear what they were upset about. It's whatever though. People are gonna hate what they wanna hate. I just feel, IMO, the reasons behind the hate are just petty. Making it out to be more than it really is.
thanks for a great reaction! the cause of the witches' death is still a mystery. there's no way that little fire could've caused all of that destruction. it also remains to be explained exactly why the jedi were there to begin with. what was shown here was also not a reason for torbin to kill himself.
I'm really liking all the nuance we're getting from this show. You get the sense that the Jedi aren't perhaps the good guys, or at least not as good as we've always been led to believe. Certainly you see that not everyone in the galaxy buys into the "guardians of peace and juxtice" line, which makes it more plausible how people could turn against them so easily later. I also like how we're seeing that there are other ways of viewing and using the Force than Jedi and Sith.
Watch the clone wars and you will find that many planets didn't buy the jedi way. So I was not surprised by their fiew. What surpised me more was how both mothers teached their daughters not to follow their hearts but to lie.
This is just my opinion, but I don’t think a story with a literal “light and dark side” is the right place for nuance or moral equivalency. The Jedi weren’t perfect, but they’re supposed to be a symbol of good. Their flaws were supposed to be arrogance, stagnation, being overly dogmatic, and ironically, getting too involved in politics. So when Luke Skywalker went into hiding in the Last Jedi, that didn’t sit right with me. Jedi aren’t cowards. It just doesn’t make sense that he would do that. And in this show, when Torbin drinks the poison, that doesn’t make sense to me. Jedi don’t allow guilt to consume them. Especially when he said “we thought we were doing the right thing”. And the stuff with “maybe the Jedi aren’t the good guys” in regards to their pursuit of Mae and Osha, I don’t like that either. Why was Sol creeping on them in the woods? Jedi don’t hide in the shadows, Sith do. Why did they lie “oh we didn’t know anyone was on this planet”, ok then what are you doing here? Jedi don’t lie. I don’t mind the Jedi being imperfect, if they were perfect they never would have fallen. But I think some flaws, like being cowardly or domineering, go against core Jedi values, and therefore don’t make much sense to me. I like stories that make you question the morality of the characters, I just don’t like the Jedi being painted with that brush as being moral is one of their core values.
Whats the problem with the Witch's training children.................Seems the Jedi dont like competition is the vibe I get and less what their actually teaching them
Right?! I do understand, to an extent, asking for Force-sensitive children from parents that are not. The parents dont have any means to control the kid, might get hurt, etc. But asking for them from not just parents but a whole community of Force-sensitive adults who are also outside of your jurisdiction? Nah, thats not cool.
The Jedi were the institution at this point in time, and they made the rules. There was an arrogance to the way they approached things, and I think that arrogance led to their downfall in the prequel era
i believe the reason the jedi are so twitchty about others training chidren is because most force cults that they have encountered turn out to be evil. i mean we can go back to the beginning with the Sith who after they split off with the jedi spent the next several thousand years waging war on them and the republic. in high republic era there were other force cults like i believe the way of the open hand who believed that using the force was bad and so attacked & killed people who did. and for as much as we love witches in this channel, the nightsisters who are the most prominent sect of witches in the star wars universe are not known for the beneficence. so its not a matter of not liking "competition" or arrogance because they are the established state force religion. its that the members of every other force cult they have come across end up being dark side users who end up attacking and hurting others. they do so out of caution due to past experience. the dark side is generally easy and corruptive. dabbling it in generally has led to bad outcomes. obviously i dont know how the jedi would treat others force cults that share a similar light side path like the mountain tribes of dathomir. maybe they'd make exceptions for cults that have a good track record of not wanting to kill people and/or take over the galaxy. or maybe they've been bitten so many times that they're closed minded about letting even those with good track records, but their reasoning is ultimately because all the other guys turn evil! if the jedi had found palpatine before the sith would we have had all the suffering that resulted in and from the empire and later the first order? likely not. obviously, at least from the point of view that we are being given in this episode, the way the jedi dealt with this was bad. but is that because that the way all jedi would handle it or does that stem from master indara? i imagine that had Sol been alone or at least in charge things would have gone drastically differently. but that wasn't the case indara was the lead jedi of this party and we get is because of her and her leadership.
I love that Mother Aniseya knows that saying no would only be the same as the people who said no to her when she was younger and it would simply lead to Osha hating her
Hola Louise, yo creo que las Brujas y los Jedi tuvieron un enfrentamiento por la niña y mataron a las bruja y despues lo ocultaron porque es una vergüenza para ellos lo que hicieron, esa es mi teoría, saludos con mucho cariño desde PERÚ.✌😎❤🇵🇪
Glad that this episode came out in a sense as we can all finally see who are the real shills without a shadow of a doubt. Now I know which channels to watch for authentic reactions.
Welcome back! Thank you, thank you, thank you for answering open-minded, positive reaction. The only problem I had with this episode is that, for a full episode of backstory, I was left with even more questions...and there's only 5 episodes left! I thought they portrayed a Coven of Witches that had been hunted and exiled very well. They looked like they were surviving and just trying to mind their own business, so as to stay out of any prying eyes' spotlights. I really hope they stick the landing, too!
Yes she is a real person. If you’ve followed this channel you’d know she’s just a genuinely nice person who puts a positive spin on everything. You can disagree but having followed this channel for a while I can say I honestly believe these are her genuine reactions.
@@ErikDayneyep so here’s just some food for thought... THAT’s one of the issues people have with “reaction” people like her; ok great, you wanna put a positive spin on everything... awesome! I’m all for that... But fans actually care about STAR WARS... and this girl has a massive platform with which to do that publicly. It’s not as if she qualifies everything she says across social media with “but don’t listen to me, I’m happy about everything”; no, she’s perfectly happy to expect her views to be listened to, unless someone critiques them and all of a sudden the only thing that matters is if people are being positive or not?? Sorry, I don’t think you get to have both. So ultimately if you enjoy this kind of empty content, that’s great. But don’t pretend like you suddenly have a leg to stand on when people start making criticisms THAT ACTUALLY PERTAIN TO THE STORY IN QUESTION!!
@@Recrussiohonestly these days I think people just want confirmation bias. That’s one of the reasons that politics never change, nobody wants to gather new information and update their opinions, they want to be told they were right all along. So the people that don’t like the show want to be told all the reasons they’re right, the same for the people that do like the show. They can’t fathom that someone could just disagree with them, and they need to fabricate ulterior motives such as they’re being paid to promote the show, or people are review bombing it out of prejudice. Maybe some people like it and some people don’t and maybe they’re both being honest.
I enjoyed the reaction. I personally thought the episode was meh, but it's cool if you like it. I'm seeing many comments just upset at you watching and enjoying something. If they don't like it that's fine, but there's no need to act so smug and be an ass to someone who likes something they don't.
This show isn't brilliant, but it's pretty good and has some really nice ideas (in amongst some poor writing). Your reactions improve it greatly. And knowing just how badly you're upsetting some of the worst people on Earth must be a lovely thought, keep it up.
I love the series and the story it's telling... I know you've already done episode 4 so you probably have heard this by now... but there's a lot we don't know from this backstory. Even though it's subtle because he's blurred in the background, Torbin starts the episode fresh faced and then on the ship when Osha wakes up he is scarred. And, at least as I am understanding it, these are an early version of, or off-shoot of, the Night Sisters... on this I could be very wrong.
The episode started and ended at that beautiful yellow tree which was clearly comminicated to the audience that it was poisonous. Meanwhile at the end of the episode all the witches are death on the ground without any burn marks or wounds. I can't help but think that the witches were poisoned from the tree. How exactly, I haven't figured out. Maybe the Witches wanted to poison the Jedi and something goes wrong when the Jedi show up and it backfires and poisons them? I don't know exactly how it all comes together but I do feel like the poisonous tree is Chekhov's Gun and later episodes we will find out how it went off.
Another thing to keep in mind is that the Bunta tree poison was used by Mae to kill Torbin, and Qimir noted the significance of it. So, it's possible that this Chekhov's Gun already went off, but I'm guessing we'll see more of its significance when we see the other Rashomon views of the Brendok incident. Also one more little thing ... the witches use Bunta poison for "hunting" - not "trapping". This suggests the poison is used to tip some sort of weapon, like arrows or spears, rather than put in bait.
I don’t hate this series, but have my personal issues how the story is presented (I’m kinda being a SW purist). Watching Louise’s reaction and enthusiasm of what it is to be a true ride or die fan, really makes the Star Wars Community a better place.
Cheers to Louise for being a real one. The toxic folks can go kick rocks. It's ridiculous how much hate this show is getting. It doesn't deserve that hate. Can't they give something an actual try and think for themselves for once? I've been a fan since I was a kid in the 80s and I'm perfectly fine with exploring another fold into the mythos. Wasn't the concept of good or neutral witches hinted at in Tales of the Empire? When what's her name was the last survivor of the coven on Dathomir? And she stayed with those folks on the mountain? It makes sense to me that if there's a dark side witch with the Night Sisters that there would be good or neutral witches. The Force seeks balance doesn't it? I'm curious as to the whole picture of what happened that night because we only saw things from Osha's perspective in this episode. Also, I love that Sol takes the kind, honest, and patient approach. I like his character. And you could tell that he felt some guilt for what happened and it's probably why he has a strong connection to Osha. Like he felt obligated to take care of her more, because he felt responsible. Curious to see how things will play out. Stay a real fan Louise! I'll be looking for your reactions after I watch the new episodes. May the Force be with you!
I don’t think you need to like this show to be respectful to people that do. I personally am not a fan, but my issues are with the people that made the show, not fans and content creators who are enjoying it. I think a lot of people could benefit from practicing disagreeing with people in a respectful manner, not just with this show but with all things.
Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo! Pray forntgis show to get cancelled and become uncanonized like the Willow series! Worst piece of media to ever existed! The Power of Losing MoooooonEeeey! Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
This show does not deserve all the hate with just 3 episodes. I also like the different Force interpretations. It is like the different religions in the real world and their interpreations they have.
For real. Christians say “God,” Muslims say “Allah,” Jewish folks say “Yahweh,” but they’re all talking about the same entity. I love seeing other interpretations of the force, it’s so interesting to me.
Sure it does. People are not lying about hating it, I think most people who watch it would love to find it good - they just don't. A lot of people love Star Wars, so they are hugely disappointed when there is so much opportunity/money wasted making something this terrible. Or "niche" if we want to be nice. Of course there are people who love it, those are the ones that the show is made for. But it's not for most people, hence the reactions. It only gets worse when you realize that the showrunners/Disney are trying to push an agenda using the show as a ploy, rather than actually telling an honest story - which makes it a lie and even more susceptible to garnering hate. And hate with a not insignificant amount of vitriol. They know the show is not good, so does the Disney execs - yet they release it anyways. And that's the problem.
@@PLF... Honey, there is one difference between this show and most other Star Wars: gay people and POC are centered. There are people who don’t mind that and are watching in good faith (the reaction for whom mostly ranges from “it’s okay, nothing special” to “it’s great”). Then there’s the other group of people, who decided they hated it before they ever saw it because some outrage grifters online told them they should. There’s not really much in between those two groups at all, and I think you know that.
Probably the most disliked episode of Star Wars ever made. I've never seen the majority of fans all turn on Disney to this level. And it is justified. It really felt like the writers had never even seen Episode I. Really disappointing.
Wait, what? This episode and the series is like a love letter to Episode 1 and Episode 3. You can tell that writers and creators absolutely love the prequels and EU Star Wars lore, and are building on it.
@@ChimeStudioyou cannot be serious, in no way can you actually believe that. Depicting Jedi encountering dark side force users inside a thousand years before Ep1 renders Mundi, Windu and Palpatines lines in Ep 1 and 2 either ignorant or overtly deceitful TO THE AUDIENCE; not just the in-universe characters. It blatantly and proudly violates the prequels. THAT is why it’s a failure; end of story.
@@Recrussio No it doesn't? They specifically frame it as Sith in Ep 1. Dark Side users clearly existed prior to Ep 1's encounter with Darth Maul. Probably best to wait for the end of the show before making absolute statements, but it seems like this show is setting up Ep 1 / Sith experiments messing with creating life (contrasted with Anakin as a genuine creation of the Force in and of itself / free of Sith manipulation). We clearly don't have all the story here yet.
@@Recrussio When faced with counterargument, resort to insults. I've been a Star Wars fan since I was child in the early 80s, have seen all the films dozens of times at minimum, have done multiple full chronological watch-throughs / read-throughs with my kids (including all episodes of all shows and, for our current round of it, all published materials in canon). I almost certainly have more education in textual analysis / interpretation then 99% of the people you "debate" with. If I erred, make an argument. If I did not, then admit you are wrong. It isn't complicated.
I don’t think a “hater” is just someone who doesn’t like something. To me a hater is someone who goes out of their way to trash people that like things they don’t. I’ll give you an example. I used to like Game of Thrones, but I stopped liking it after the final couple seasons were bad. I haven’t had any interest in House of the Dragon, even though it seems to be getting good reviews. But I’ve never once gone into a HotD comment section and tried to tell people that they’re wrong for liking it. If they like it, good for them, I’ll focus on the things I do like. If I went out of my way to try to tell people they shouldn’t like it, that would make me a “hater”.
@@ErikDayneI will continue to make fun of people like you and these shills for supporting this woke trash, I don’t care if you enjoy something, cringe like this needs to stop
Was looking forward to this reaction so much. I see you had many of the same thoughts and mild confusion about what went down as the rest of us. I kinda wish Kalnaka didn't just sound exactly like Chewie. Maybe if they slightly pitched his bear sounds up or down? I feel like we need more variety in Wookie voices. Although I love Sol, he does seem to have a way of gently getting what he wants sweetly. I feel like I know from experience as a child to my mom, lol. He has the power of persuasion in a completely non evil way. Like (reads mind)"This little girl thinks my lightsaber is cool, I'm gonna fan that flame SO HARD". "You can't go. You're stuck here now" - Mae I'm a little confused about what Mae meant by this, she said this before she started the fire and threatened Osha with death. She's saying it if as if she's already done a thing in addition to and prior to setting the fire. But the Jedi seemed to be able to escape fine.... sooooo???? Might be relevant to any reveals in future episodes. Just thought of this for the first time as I'm writing right now while watching, so the theory might be FULL of holes.... maybe it could be possible Mae tried to poison The Jedi so Osha couldn't leave, but she accidentally poisoned the mothers.... by adding what grows on that tree to Spice Creams? Just an alternate scenario that popped in my head other The Jedi killing them.
I am loving the series so far and looking forward to more. I think Mae went crazy and kill the witches. I don't think the Jedi did it but we shall see. I am happy there are others that like the series as much as me, there are so many others that do not.
I don’t think people are giving The Acolyte enough credit. It’s actually a good show. Sure it has some issues but at least it’s not worse than the sequel trilogy.
