The Acolyte - Episode 6 - 1X6 - "Teach / Corrupt" | REACTION + REVIEW 

Manny is one of the best things in recent Star Wars. His mannerism, facial expression, line delivery, swings of mood depending on the context. He truly looks like master of deception.

The part about Vernestra finding hyperspace travel "unsettling" is relevant to her character in the books. She gets hyperspace visions.

Her lightsaber is purple and yes it has a whip abilities.. It's mentioned and part of her character from the High Republic books. So is the fact that she gets sort of ill in hyperspace travel. Sometimes she sees visions when she travels in hyperspace as well.

If the helmet blocks out his senses..so he fought all those Jedi blind...yoooo..this dude is bad ass on another level

Great video Mike! You’re awesome!

If the moths are attracted to light, which we've been told clearly, why did that moth do anything?? It was daytime and it was already just relaxing and no lightsabers were on. Think it was just to reveal the whip lightsaber. (Which could be the source of The Stranger's scars).

If you rewatch you will understand that Sol knew from the beginning. Plus there's a parallel between Sol-Mae and Osha-Qimir. Both sisters have similar experiences but from different perspectives.

Can we all agree Bazil trying to act all threatening was sooooo cute!

If he doesn’t sense her, he’s not a good Jedi. You mean like Yoda working with Darth Sidious for 20 years?

The line about Vernestra feeling sick in hyperspace is a callback to the High republic books in which she usually experience deep and unsettling force visions in hyperspace

Already knew about her light whip from the books....cool to see it live

Mando Helmets are high tech with full visibility, multi-spectrum display and scanner info like lron Man's helmet. We've seen a few shots in first person view like when Dinn and the Nightowls attack the Imperial cruiser.

Sol knew it was May from the beginning. You need to watch the scene again where he stuns her. Sol's clearly the bad guy. He turned off the comms. Basil (for our benefit) reacts that Sol is doing something out of character.

If you haven't seen The Good Place, you now understand why there's so many people who love Manny Jacinto, he has a weird attraction and giving him the Force just explains everything, lol.

As for Vernestra's light whip, that was also initially brought up for her character in the High Republic books. Also, light whips also appear in some of the old Legends books. One of the Sith apprentices have one in the first Darth Bane book.

the theory with the Cortosis helmet at the end there is that Osha will connect with Mae right as Sol is about to explain the whole back story in nect weeks episode (the cortosis will connect the power of 2 in my guess, im sorry you guys are not enjoying the series so much im really enjoying it and there is a lot more depth to the characters and actions they have and do that you seem to be missing in the moment of watching the episode (no disrespect i love you guys) Sol even though he was distraught was holding of on the reveal of knowing Mae's deception was evident to me last week when he specifficaly said to her when he assumed she was Osha "where is your sister" rather than call Mae by name thinking that Mae was Osha, anyways i enjoyed the episode and also was a cool way for see how the seduction of the dark side can be used (similar to Dooku where dooku as a sith used the truth to try to turn someone a forced dark truth but the truth non the less, it is the jedi who dont quite tell the whole story and that ends in their destruction. either way im excited to see the 2nd part of the flash back and you get that with every good mystery. I think also Venestra was Qimirs old jedi master the lightsaber whip is the kind of mark it would leave in Qimirs back as its a burn scar mark.

I like you all. Im SWOG77 - teenager who fell in love with SW 1977. I loved it! Totally fun show

I can't imagine we'll have to wait more than 1 more week for the fuller picture of what happened on Brendok. Episode 3 (flashback episode) and Episode 7 are the same director. I don't mind that we don't know yet, but I agree the "teases", only to be interrupted each time, are getting annoying. Ep1: Leslye Headland Ep2: Leslye Headland Ep3: Kogonada Ep4: Alex Garcia Lopez Ep5: Alex Garcia Lopez Ep6: Hanelle Culpepper Ep7: Kogonada Ep8: Hanelle Culpepper

Mat, reference hyperspace sickness is from the books

This ep was more coherent, albeit the anticipation for the complete backstory can't possibly have a good enough payoff. Also noticed Pips lights switched from white to red, maybe something, but not sure this show is that smart 🤔

Vernestra’s lightsaber whip is purple, not pink.

We watched him partially heal her, right? There was still a wound there.

Anyone else notice the ADR'd line "prepare these bodies for burial"? Was that done because they were literally going to leave the bodies there until someone thought "huh, that's kinda of terrible". Then they just forgot that the jedi burn their dead? This show is very poorly written.

I'm glad you're also getting annoyed with the "I'm going to tell you everything"......random interruption/go to credits crap. I'm 100% fine if they wait until episode 7 or 8 for the reveal, but the repetitive, lazy, teases are getting old. Once or twice during the whole season is fine, but it's being done to death. Either tell us the secret or shut up about it. We don't need the same tease without a payoff over and over again.

Darth Osha 😁

16:02 force echo is the term you're looking for

I want a good written show about Qimir without Mae and Osha who are really boring. HIs story is much more interesting....❤ Qimir and Sol are the only reasons for me to watch the show. Greetings from Germany💕 PS: I will dream about Darth Biceps and how I will join him everywhere he invites me...😅

Where the heck is Sol jumping to?

I like these more realistic reactions. Sometimes it seems like some reactors like just about everything they watch.

Fell asleep halfway through.

Twilight bad.

This is awful, 180 million dollars budget.. there are stretching this out because season 2 has already been canceled!!!!

Such a bad episode,,laughable show this

Glad you like the episode but to me it’s very boring and bland just because he said 1 speech so she decided or probably turn to the dark side without any hints or motives just looks and feels flat the show needs intelligent writers better dialogue like they do with house of Dragon in my opinion

Master Sol not recognizing Mae, is somehow a problem for the two of you let's see Darth Vader not recognizing his own daughter Leia! Or a wise Jedi Master Yoda working with a Sith Lord for decades to destroy his own organization! And this show again is a mystery of course they're going to drag it out to the very end!
