its wild how unbiased you are lol. while we have some channels like star wars explained which is the cnn of star wars and then star wars theory which is the fox. youre like a solid npr lol. always love watching your videos bud keep up the great work and i hope a big channel helps bump you up or you randomly start getting tons of more traction from the community because you deserve it.
Thanks so much...that's very kind of you to say. I've enjoyed Star Wars since I was a kid and now my son is a big fan as well. So we enjoy watching the show together each week. Is it a perfect show? No, I have issues with it here and there (the umbramonths flying away with Qimir was abit on the goofy side for my taste). But overall I'm really enjoying the multi-layered mystery and it's fun to try to guess where it's going from here. Really appreciate you watching the vid and sharing your positive feedback. Many thx!
Sol’s thoughts as he was leaving: Good job my apprentice delivering Mae to me. She will make a good Sith. We certainly fooled the Jedi about the rule of 2. See you and the rest of the gang of 4 at Morriban soon. Together we will resurrect the glorious Sith Empire!
PHEWWWWW WHAT AN EPISODE! Little disappointed about Qumir, but the performance was just really really good. Also Jeki… so so sad, but god she was such a bad ass!
Yeah, I had kinda been accepting that Qimir was our masked guy, and that it may have been intentionally telegraphed in Ep 4, since the mystery now moves to who is Qimir's master. And it was indeed a bummer to see Jecki go down, but she went down fighting. Dang she kicked butt!
Felt a little unrealistic that she was so hard to defeat when we see her still practicing flurries with a bo stick while her opponent relatively easily took out Jedi that I think probably had more training and experience than she did and those Jedi were attacking him roughly simultaneously. A lot of times it was just Jekki vs ZipperMouth one on one.
@@willfilmon182 I agree...on the surface it seemed abit hard to believe Jecki could hold her own when the other Jedi went down so quickly. But ofc the padawan level Obi-Wan Kenobi defeated Darth Maul by himself when the combo of Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan (as well as the solo fight with just Qui-Gon and Maul) was unable to defeat Maul. So I wonder if the original Jedi were so thrown off by the brutality of the Sith that they just weren't prepared while Jecki had watched it all go down and was more mentally prepared to put up a stronger fight? But yeah, I agree that it was strange that Jecki did so well in the fight.
I think Mae flipped because after threatening to reveal what she knows about her Master, Qimir kills Kennaca then reveals himself. That takes away her bargining chip, sets her up for the murder and sets up his killing spree to protect himself. Mae realises this then tries to adjust to the new situation he created.
Yea ppl are talking about "she keeps changing her mind" but the situation keeps changing around her. The choices she makes all come after finding out new crucial information. Her sister is alive, then the Jedi she plans to turn herself into is dead She still tries to escape w her sister butis then rejected by sister. So she assumes sister's identity and leaves with sol. It's questionable whether or not she still intends to kill hum. But I'm guessing in episode 6 they will confront one another and we will get another flashback perhaps from each of their perspectives
Well said...that's what I feel as well. On the surface it seems like she's just changing her mind over and over, but I think the events happening around her are the reason for it. If you consider all that's happened to her in just the last few days, it's been quite a roller coaster ride of emotions.
@@evok993 It's hard to judge at this point, tbh. Once we get to episode 8, I think we'll be in the best position to tell if the overall story was well developed or not.
I think Yord's confusion about the moths is probably because he's shaken, as a Jedi in this period he's used to sorta strutting round being one of if not the most knowledgeable and powerful person in most rooms, that had just been stripped right away from him and one of the main threads of this show has been how arrogant and pompous the Jedi are in this period, so yeah after seeing the little bit of the fight that he saw, as well as him no doubt being able to sense the other Jedi dying the whole time he's rattled since he (as well as the other Jedi present) was not prepared to be caught on the back foot to that degree. I also get the feeling Qimir (not sure how to spell it) is more a Maul or a Dooku than a Sidious, I suspect his master is gonna be one of the mothers from the coven, just because there were references to him sharing some abilities with them, could be wrong but I definitely get that feeling.
Good point about Yord. Yeah, I imagine that was indeed why he seemed so rattled. Great analysis. And I agree, I think Qimir is more of an apprentice and that the Master is still waiting in the shadows!
Excellent point! Yeah, Mae must be going crazy right now, because every option she has keeps getting cut off and it's leaving her little choice for what to do next. I agree, getting arrested was no longer an option once she discovered Kelnacca was dead.
I love how Qimir is so scary, ruthless, insanely powerful and fast, and terrifying, that the Jedi are referencing him as "it" and not he." Jecki asked, "What is that?" Yord said, "That thing is too dangerous." And Master Sol asked, "What are you?" He is beating them up so bad, killing them so brutally, and they are so confused, that they are dehumanizing him. 😂😂😂
You know, I did indeed think that was weird. Maybe Sol was so surprised to see Qimir he didn't think to read his mind at that point. Or...if they do indeed have a hidden past together, then Sol likely didn't need to read his mind as Sol knew everything he needed to know as soon as he saw Qimir's face.
@@willfilmon182 I have never figured out why we don't see more force pushes throughout all of the Star Wars movies and shows. It's so effective, yet we rarely see it done. Maybe you're onto something in the regard that it takes alot of effort and energy and so it can't be used very often?
@@AbitofEverything4U Didn't he question him as the one who made the poison for the Jedi's self deletion, saying he could be let off with just a warning if he cooperated? I think if Sol didn't sense anything at that time then he shouldn't have sense something about him this episode (except maybe if his force senses were kinda recognizing him b/c they'd met that previous episode).
He didn't get defeated by ants he got defeated by himself. His variants nerfed him. And he only got a little of his power back. And he managed to take over the Quantum Realm. He only started to lose when MODOK betrayed him by sabotaging his power and suit. And MODOK was built by him. He is Kang tech. Kang's arrogance and whatnot along with MODOK sabotaging him caught him off guard which aloud the super ants that are super smart with strength and other powers to charge at him. And all they did was break his already sabotaged suit. And even then he was kicking two Avengers asses. And they still had their powers. He only lost because his Multiversal core thing which was already breaking was further sabotaged and sucked him in. If anything it was him and his technology that beat him.
@@movielover7565 Great points...yeah, after reading your excellent commentary I think Qimir getting beaten by the umbramoths was far worse than Kang's defeat. No way those moths would take Qimir down. Oh well, Star Wars loves to inject a bit of silliness here and there, so I can let it go. But I definitely didn't like that scene.
The action in this episode went so hard. I was really shocked to see two of the main characters get killed off. By the way, "Jedi 1" is actually the Kel Dor identified online as Ithia Paan.
Yeah, the action was amazing. Loved it! And thanks for the heads up on Ithia. That's sorta weird they didn't use that name in the close captioning, but perhaps they figured people didn't make the connection? Anyway, thanks for sharing that. Very cool!
This was probably the best episode by far I was so sad when Jecki kicked the bucket and Yord began to grow on me Something in my mind was telling me that most of the characters probably weren’t gonna make it
Still watching and loving the videos as always! I’ll remember to try and comment more, as I’ve been really busy as work while listening to your commentary. Thanks again for having such quality coverage! You always do!
Sorry work has kept you so busy, but I know how that can be. Thanks for still finding time to listen to the vids while making it though the day. Really appreciate it!
Man after a few weeks of being incredibly busy it’s awesome to come back and catch up on your videos, this is an awesome episode. The only real point I want to make is I would be VERY surprised if sol didn’t know it was Mae, one of the jedis main things is that they can sense the sith, and the dark side. It’s even mentioned that Sol can sense the familiarity with the stranger, so if he can’t sense Mae that’s going to make zero sense imo.
I 100% agree...I think Sol knew it was Mae from the start, but if he didn't catch on while they were on the planet, he definitely caught on when they reached the ship. So yeah, I think he was toying with her abit until he had a chance to stun her.
Darth Teefs really impressed me. I just really hope that he’s not *THE* Sith Master and he’s merely an apprentice. I also suspect his real name is Darth Venamis and his master is indeed Darth Tenebrous. And notice he keeps using the word Acolyte in his vocabulary a lot which means he is indeed an apprentice to someone else. Also, it’s clear that Darth Teefs is powerful enough to kill his master and fulfill the Rule of Two but Mae messed it up for him.
@@alexneff in Legends. But this is canon anything can change. And besides he might not be Venamis. Tenebrous had multiple secret apprentices as well as Plagueis
@@GalvatronStudios I think Qimir is in kahoots with the sith but isn't one. At the end, Kylo Ren's theme plays, so this could imply that he is a member of the Knights of Ren rather than a sith.
I think he's an early reject he eludes to being their own brendoc 16 years back so has spent alot of time involved in this including waiting to be woken up by Mae not to mention someone like you might call me a sith could mean if he's not one he's out for his former master who's probably already feeling some bs coming his way the dark side grew with each jedi death and there's no way that the master doesn't feel that
I have a hard time believing that Qimir's helmet actually does anything against mind tricks and such. Even without the helmet, Qimir is likely too strong-willed for Sol to get into his head. Kylo Ren can't do it to Rey, and she barely even knew what she was doing. It took Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Mace Windu just to get into Cad Bane's head, and it still didn't even really work, it just tortured him, and while he's a Duros, he's still not Force Sensitive either. On the Star Wars Explained aftershow for this episode, there was the suggestion that because it's not a direct face to face interaction, it would be harder to focus if you even attempted to do anything. Technically the Force allows you to choke people across space, but being in a holographic conversation with the visual will help, and even making the choking motion with your fingers will also assist in manifesting your desires, so say there is some kind of mind battle between Sol and Qimir, it will be easier if Sol has a face to look into. This is only a theory though. Qimir is likely just playing with everyone, taunting and even running away from a final blow just to chase someone else and keep them all off balance. There's also likely no real symbolism behind Jecki's death, but it's definitely a stab in each lung and then even one through the trachea, so if anything, it's a rather quick death because she likely can't breath. She's a Human-Thaleen hybrid, so whatever alien phisiology she has, it's still very likely vital organs were struck and she died quickly. If her death with three stabbings is indicitive of anything though, it's a commentary on how lightsaber stabbings don't hold as much weight as they once did. Placement is key, but Qimir using the Shoto Lightsaber and getting her not only in vital spots, but multiple times, too, was to really strike a blow to the audience that one of the main characters died, it wasn't just going to be the cannon fodder that was expected. And then with Yord, two were down, and he wasn't even killed with a weapon, just good old fashioned tactical blocks that lead to a position for a snapping of the neck. I think next week is likely to be the flashback although there's a lot of talk of how episodes 3 and 7 have the same director, which leads fans to think that 7 is the flashback, and I can't deny that. At the same time, Payton Reed directed the Ice Spider episode and then the Finale in Mandalorian Season 2, so you don't have to have very similar types of stories to be the director of two episodes. Whatever episode eit ends up being, the flashback will probably be called Choices or Decisions as that would be the opposite of Destiny, which is often used in Star Wars to mean as one's fate, and fate is predetermined. Osha was given a decision that altered her destiny, but it was through a series of others' choices and decisions. I suppose it's also possible the episode could be called Manipulation. Qimir clearly knows way too much, he could have orchestrated certain things to happen in secret that are then blamed on the Jedi, the Jedi react in a way that they are ashamed of, and the Coven dies; so many uncertainties. It's a heck of a time discussing the potential directions this show is going to head, and that's been my favorite part of the series over watching it. The show hasn't been bad, however it hasn't been as gripping as it could be. Episode 5 was incredible though, and it is likely in part because of that slower build up over the previous episodes, but even just seeing the character interactions here has been so much better, too, because it lead to so much more speculation.
Love the commentary on why Sol couldn't read Qimir's mind. You have some great theories that it wasn't the helmet, per se. Excellent points. And yeah, I am starting to think it could be episode 7 that is the flashback. If so, I like your title of "choices" really well. I also heard the suggestion of "freedom", since that's what the witches (and it seems Qimir) wants...freedom from the Jedi's rules.
@@AbitofEverything4U It depends on if the episode is complete flashback, or if they have some stuff happening in the present. Part of why I also suggested Manipulation is that perhaps Qimir is maipulating events. Sol has manipulated Osha by concealing the full truth of what happened that day. Mae could have been possessed (ie. manipulated) into acting the way she did with that fire. Freedom feels like it could be a possible title for another episode, maybe even the Finale because everything will have finally been finished. If Qimir survives, he's likely killed everyone else and he's free to do as he pleases. If the Jedi stop him, they'll believe that Freedom has been secured for the Galaxy. Knowing the truth also sets Mae and Osha free from being manipulated. I'm usually never this active in speculation, but there's something about the Acolyte that's really getting to me. It's far from my favorite show, but it has really got me thinking about what could happen next since it's a mystery. I'm usually more just go with the flow and at worst rationalize what I just saw than try to piece together what future installments will be.
Well said...I agree, The Acolyte isn't my favorite show by any means, but I do find it very interesting and the mystery and speculation really keeps me engaged with it. Hoping they stick the landing with the last three episodes!
when Osha tells Yord to turn off his lightsaber everybody watching was like "dude turn off your lightsaber! the moths!" I think they deliberately had him keep it on too long just to get people riled up. he's a guy you're supposed to be annoyed with. there was no force healing btw, he just rolled her over. I thought he was going to do that too.
3) because they have to stay hidden. 5) they killed all of the witches even though not all of them were attacking. 6) Koril for sure survived. 10) she's a mash up of Yoda and Mace/ she's there to take the blame without ruining those legacy characters. and she hid this from the high council. 12) because they believed it was a rogue Jedi, splinter group or another group such as the knights of ren.
I agree, we were definitely supposed to be annoyed at Yord and it sure as heck worked. lol! Also, great theories on where the story is going. Thanks for sharing those!
this may sound silly but i think the 3 stabs are about the grand inquisitor surviving cause of his 2 hearts (or stomachs i forget) maybe qimir was making absolutely sure or disney showing the audience jeckis really dead
Good points...yeah, it could very well be that Qimir realized Jecki was a worthy opponent and didn't want her coming back at him, so the three shots made sure she was dead.
Jecki was so cool this episode! So sad shes propably not around any longer, she really grew on me Edit: also I think question 3 is kind of answered. Killing a jedi without a weapon makes sense as revenge if the jedi did attack the coven (and qimir?) when they were unarmed. So maybe not completely answered without the flashback, but I think we get the theme already
I agree...was a shock to see Jecki go. At least she went out fighting, but what a bummer. And that's a good point on question #3...I think we are very close to getting that answer and that your theory makes alot of sense!
So far the strongest thing going for this show, in my opinion, is Qimir!! We still have to discover what happened with the flashback night involving the witches, Qimir, the jedi, and the twins... Hoping Qimir survives and branches out into something that ties into the knights of Ren just because he has such strong character development and he would be a waist to discard... he could be venemous?... Still hoping the big bad reveal as the true Sith to be Tenebrous over Plagious! Wanna see Plageus's story have depth and context over time!!
I totally agree...Qimir is the standout from the season and I hope he has many more stories ahead...if they get a season 2, he needs to be a big part of it!
I have heard that the flashback episode from someone else's point of view will happen in Episode 7. The same director that directed episode 3 will direct episode 7 and this will be the episode that explains what happened between Master Torbin and Kelnacca...as well as the horrible thing that happens that Sol has been living with since they all left the planet Brendok. I think you are correct that the statement Osha makes to Yord about her Mom being able to control Jedi's minds will definitely have more meaning to us after we see episode 7.
Oh man...I don't know if I can wait two more weeks for that flashback episode. I'm dying to see what happened in it. But your theory makes sense...episode 7 is the likely time that we get it. And yeah, it sure feels like Aniseya controlling minds will come into play in that flashback. Can't wait!
@@AbitofEverything4U Yeah my dude...I am having a ball picking this mystery a part. I have rewatched episodes 4 & 5 so many times. I'm not even sure Aniseya has as much to do as to what happen than Mother Koril. And of course the million dollar question is whether or not Qimir was actually there on the planet Brendok when all of this went down. I'm with you. My excitement is on 1,000. Hahaha
The opposite of Destiny might be Freedom, however Justice/Revenge aren't strictly speaking opposites, and the title of the Mae flashback will more likely reflect her take on the events. But I agree that for symmetry's sake the next episode must be a flashback.
Yeah, good point...justice and revenge aren't necessarily opposites, but I wonder if they were going for the angle of justice (i.e. someone found guilty in a court of law) vs. revenge (i.e. someone taking the law into their own hands). In that regard, they are sorta opposites. And I do like "freedom" as a title, as we heard Qimir saying he just wants freedom from what he views as the oppression of the Jedi.
@@AbitofEverything4U You've probably heard by now already, but it seems that episode 7 will most likely be the next flashback, so apparently we'll get a space chase in episode 6. Apparently Quimir is a Sith apprentice and we will meet his master this season, and this season's story will be resolved by episode 8 and not in a future season.
I wish they dropped all the eps at once . So hard to wait every week . But that just means it’s a great show because everyone keeps coming back . I wonder how the rating numbers are because it’s obvious everyone is watching including the haters.
Yeah, I'm the same way...I'd love to have all the episodes drop at once as I would binge them right away. That said, there is something nice about the fact that we're able to talk about each episode one at a time and really get a chance to theorize about them. So I definitely see why Disney+ drops them once a week. But man, it's so hard to wait!
I agree...fantastic episode from start to finish and it was such a bummer to see Jecki go. I was really warming up to her and getting excited about her character and just like that...she's gone. Heartbreaking!
I agree...there is definitely some history between Qimir and Sol. What if Qimir was originally Sol's padawan. That would be wild. But yeah, something definitely went down between those two!
Didn't Sol question him as the one who made the poison for the Jedi's self deletion, saying he could be let off with just a warning if he cooperated? If Sol didn't seem to recognize him at that time then why does he recognize him this episode?
@@willfilmon182 Yeah, it does seem a Sith can block others from sensing him, such as how Qimir likely did it during that earlier meeting with Sol. I mean, Palpatine hung out with Mace and Yoda all the time, and they never sensed anything. But it also seems that the StarWars.com website is saying the metal can block a Jedi's mind probe: www.starwars.com/databank/the-stranger-s-helmet. So ig they are adding it as an ability for the metal?
After Force Pushing so many opponents away, unless it was really fatiguing, Smiley should've used Force Pushes more often I think. Jedi should've utilized them more as well, maybe it's not a common Jedi skill?
I have never figured out why we don't see more force pushes throughout all of the Star Wars movies and shows. It's so effective, yet we rarely see it done. Maybe you're onto something in the regard that it takes alot of effort and energy and so it can't be used very often?
Jecki is hella dead. The fakeouts with Sabine and Grand Inquisitor have led us to expect jedi to survive these types of wounds so I think they did 3 on Jecki just to reinforce the finality of her death. Triangle symbolism for the sith and badassness was just an added bonus.
Great points! Yeah, the recent fakeouts with sabers has gotten me ready to expect everyone to survive a saber blow, but it sure seems like Jecki is gone. Bummer, as I was really getting into her character, but that ofc made her death all the more shocking!
Great point...they never said it directly in the episode, but I think it was on starwars.com (I'll see if I can find it) that they later confirmed it. It's definitely an interesting idea and a cool addition to canon, assuming I read it correctly.
@@AbitofEverything4U I just watched that part back, sol said, show your face and he replied and let you read my thoughts, so that could be the helmet or just something to do with recognising him or something along those lines.
I agree, the episode avoids giving us a definitive answer. I found the Star Wars website that mentions it was the mask keeping Sol from reading his mind, if you are interested: www.starwars.com/databank/the-stranger-s-helmet. Not sure if this site is considered canon info from Lucasfilm or not. Either way, I do hope they tell us more at some point in a future episode as I'd definitely like to know the answer.
19:02 Sadly only Yord was able to talk to Tynnan buddy. So Basil gonna get the message to Sol if he pulls out a telegraph or something close to it 😒 I'm hoping that Sol noticed Mae in Osha's clothes & cutting hair was for nothing. Then inside the ship Sol asks her to give the Lightsaber 🙂 I'll restream this beautiful Live Act Star Wars episode via D+ on saturday evening, but i'll skip those (you know what..) 2x moments..😐
Good point...Sol doesn't know Bazil's language, so it's gonna be interesting to see what Bazil comes up with to communicate with Sol. Would a game of charades work?
Why is it that the probability of KiAdiMundi is the lying, cover-up agent who kept this Sith return a secret… why do we still want the prequel Council to be infallible… Mundi is the definitive coward that would quickly deny anything that threatens his cover… WHY DO WE WANT HIS PREQUEL STATEMENT TO BE TRUE??
My big theory: Sol is the master, since he and the two girls and bazil are now the only ones that know of the sith. I don't know why he would do those, though. Beyond that, I'm not 100% sure there will be a master. Qimir is already called a master, and a master of a master can be complicated for the average viewer. Your number one question is that qimir has a master, but this hasn't been commented on in show. Also, I love the robot flashlight guy, I hope nothing bad happens to him.
I think that's why the word Acolyte is used. He isn't seeking an apprentice. Bc he's am apprentice himself. In Legends, while Darth Plaguies was alive, Maul also called Sidious "Master" and didn't know about the existence of Plagueis
Yeah, you make a good point that since Qimir was referred to as "the Master" several times, it could be confusing for him to then have a Master. If they go that direction, I hope they explain it very clearly. And yeah, I hope poor little Pip makes it though okay. Been a rough couple days for that little droid!
@@Electiger-y5k That is indeed the question of the hour. My guess is that Acolyte isn't the same as apprentice and that you can have many Acolytes w/o breaking the rule of two. But I agree with you that if they go that direction, they need to explain that very clearly.
Ah, you know, "fate" is a great title. And yeah, I suspect we'll have to wait for Episode 7 to get our next flashback. Man, I don't know if I can wait two weeks!
Probably flashbacks? I'm hoping. Or they just have it documented in such a way that wouldn't have caused spoilers? Tbf if we know before the season starts that she's suddenly not in the last 3 episodes, that kinda ruins everything.
I would guess through flashbacks, or lucasfilm wanted to make it a surprise that she died so didnt unlist her as a main cast member, something along those lines
Interesting... I didn't know that about the IMDB entry...it would be a wild twist if she returned. But I kinda hope she doesn't, since her death was so shocking. Maybe a flashback with her in it would be cool, though!
Perhaps he was a Padawan during the raid on the witches but was left behind? Perhaps he was taken over by the mother and stayed on the path of the dark side.
I suspect Qimir is the first Ren. He never called himself a sith, he said the Jedi would call him sith. He looks very similar to a knight of Ren. And the first Ren appeared around this time too.
yord forgetting about the moths is honestly crazy. do they think this is gonna be the first episode people watch? The amount of handholding sometimes is a little insulting to the viewer
Yeah, from an in-universe standpoint, I suspect Yord was just frazzled by all that had occurred in the battle and he simply forgot about the umbramoths. But from an irl standpoint, the writers assumed it was we the viewer that forgot about the moths and that they needed to remind us. And honestly, that's a bit strange, since the months did appear in the "previously on" segment. I mean, in the end, it's a small thing, but I did think it was pretty weird writing.
I admit that I liked 3, but I know it wasn't very popular with alot of fans. But yeah, 5 and 6 were an improvement, I feel. Hoping the upward trend continues with 7 and 8!
Jedi can use it but the technique is ancient and lost to time but not for the Sith. The Sith have knowledge of many force abilities that the Jedi forgot about. Sith Holocrons are much deadlier than Jedi Holocrons. Ezra used a Sith Holocron to unlock force techniques that the Jedi didn’t even know how to use.
Yeah, I'd love for them to go more into the lore around the force healing. I wonder if they will end up tying Qimir to Kylo Renn together and perhaps this is a practice they are both familiar with?
I still think Qimir is working together with mother Koril for Darth Plagueis, I think he was Sol's original padawan, who was there and saw what the Jedi did, I think after the fire start the jedi blamed the witches of controling Mae and training her to be a Sith, the witches deny and attack, in the fight Sol kills the Mother of the twins, what leds to an all out brawl that leds to the death of all the witches, he them goes to save Osha and lies to her, Qimir is left behind in the planet and it's pressumed dead, that's when he meets Mother Koril, and they are both recruted by Plagueis, along with a young Mae, Qimir and Koril are kept hiddem from Mae, but manipulate her for her entire life so she can become a Sith, due to her being one half of the force dyad created using the force itself, she is believed be Plagueis to be one of the most powerfull force users, Plagueis end goal is have Mae (or Osha) as his aprentice, because of their power, that's my theory, Qimir is the lower boss, Koril is the middle one, and Plagueis is the final boss.
I'm really trying to enjoy this show, the action definitely took a step up this episode so I have to give credit. But the plot holes are crazy. How does Sol not notice the switch at the end of the episode? Hopefully, this gets explained next episode
@bulbasaur-dx5wy as I said plot holes are fine but it's about filling them in. And I know they look alike, but Sol can read minds with the force so much so that the Sith didn't wanna remove his helmet. So he should be able to read the girls mind an tell she's not the right one. Did you watch this video?🤔 he says it himself, just like he says there is a chance Sol already does know. That's just plot that need filling in
Yeah, Sol not noticing the switch really took me out of the episode as well. I hope he did notice it or that they explain that he's really out of it mentally due to all that's happened. That, plus Qimir being flown away by the umbramoth's were my least favorite aspects of the episode. Otherwise, I really enjoyed it. The action was incredible and the deaths were shocking. Gotta give them credit for killing off both Jecki and Yord.
The first half of this episode was my favorite yet. Then the second half was my least favorite. So many writing issues. I wish this was separate from Star Wars and just was its own thing. It wouldn’t have to deal with the canon then. It doesn’t feel like Star Wars to me anyways despite having all the trappings of it. Andor felt way more like Star Wars to me.
Yeah, the second half of the episode wasn't as strong as the excellent first half and I had some decent sized issues with it (I'm looking at you, umbramoths). That said, every time I think the writing was weak, the next episode helps give it more context. I wonder if this would have been alot better if it was able to be binged. But I'm still enjoying it overall and I really want to know the answers to the mysteries they've given us. Hoping they stick the landing with the last three episodes!
@@AbitofEverything4U Usually the writing issues are self-contained within the episode. I agree about withholding judgement on the larger questions until the series is done. But it’s been the writing within the episodes themselves, how the episodes plot is driven forward and how the characters act, which has been atrocious imo and completely breaks any immersion I had with the show. But if it doesn’t break someone else’s immersion and they can still believe it and enjoy it then that makes me happy!
@@M3333 Agreed...there have definitely been moments where I was very surprised by someone's actions (especially Mae), but I do think upon reflection that her decision not to let the Jedi arrest her this episode was due to her seeing Kelnacca killed. It means she would be blamed for yet another murder and also that if the Sith Master was powerful enough to kill Kelnacca, then he was likely going to kill her next. She realized he was unstoppable enough that she felt her best bet was to apologize and beg his mercy. So when Jecki went to arrest her, the last thing Mae wanted was to be restrained as she wouldn't be able to fight back against the Master if needed. But...I totally agree, that at first viewing I was like "what on earth is going on with Mae!"
