It was a crime she didn't feature Plagueis (And Master Yoda!) since the first episode. They thought bringing in a "mystery-aspect" would interest the fandom. Not unless you have good writers!!!

@writingref 2 месяца назад

My unfounded observation there is a low key internal war at Lucasfilm. It all started back at the Sequels. Some people wanted to honor George Lucas' drafts for the sequels that he gave Disney. Rian Johnson, Gareth Edwards, and eventually Ron Howard were among these. (Rian Johnson is unique in that he thought he could have it both ways - to honor what Lucas wanted to do but at the same time try some new stuff.) Dave Filoni would of course support Lucas ideas, but he was not part of the sequels. Other people, Kathleen Kennedy and especially J.J. Abrahams wanted to distance Star Wars from Lucas the Prequels and wanted to do their own thing. This is why Midichlorians are still called "M-count". They were forced to admit the ideas of Lucas were probably the best way to go but they still dance around it instead of committing to the connection between nature and the spiritual world and explaining it. They are the ones with hubris. Headland is like Kennedy's Sith Apprentice just as Filoni is the Padawan of Lucas.

It would've been so much cooler if they revealed that Plageuis created the twins, and manipulated the witches. That it was his first attempt, and it failed by the twins actions, and maybe even them getting killed in the end or something. BTW. Think you could've told this whole season in a 3 part mini-series of 90 minutes each. The cliffhangers did not pay off. Loads of wasted moments, and characters.

@thedarkknight2221 2 месяца назад

The only time bleeding a Kyber crystal red has ever been done right was in the Darth Vader canon comics. After Vader kills a Jedi without a weapon he’s then told by Emperor Palpatine that her has to take it to a place that is strong in the dark side of the force, Mustafar. He takes it deep into a cave and after he extracts the crystal from the saber he then channels all of his fear, anger and hatred into the crystal. He sees his memories of him and Padme and Obi-Wan and even a possible future of him turning against the emperor, tracking down Obi-Wan and kneels before him awaiting his judgment. Vader fights back against that vision and after an enormous amount of effort manages to bleed the crystal red. And sadly in both Jedi: Survivor and now The Acolyte, neither come even close to that incredibly powerful moment.

@j11nk 2 месяца назад

There’s a clear disconnect between how hard it was for Anakin to bleed his crystal in the comics (almost drove him mad) and how natural it was for Osha. I don’t have much of a problem with it, but that took me out of the show for a moment.

If you look in the comments you'll see several explanations, none of which are definitive despite what people think.

You see this?! Got questions!? Better demand a season 2 then as that's where you will find out" It's just a cameo version of the "mystery boxes" we've been endlessly pushed since Ep.7 all over again except arguably worse than what happened in Ep.7 as the next installment was at least already greenlit for the film whereas there is no guarantee of a second season for this show (and it's not earned it)

@jamaalellison3076 2 месяца назад

If this was basically a police story set in the Star Wars universe, as implied, what was the message behind Sol's arc? The Witches brainwashed the twins into thinking they would be hated for who they are and their beliefs. They act in bad faith, forcing Sol to intervene, killing the twins' mother. Then, he's forced by his superiors to cover up the botched mission. Mae ultimately says she wants Sol and the Jedi's to pay for their crimes. He's killed without pleading his case and has his name and legacy tarnished.

@ludwigvanbeethoven8448 2 месяца назад

I don't like it when people endlessly try to shoehorn real world politics (or more specifically specific instances of real world politics rather than politics in general) into StarWars but I can't shake the feeling that the subtext of this show in Sol and the Jedis arc is supposed to leave viewers kind of questioning whether law enforcement and child services type agencies are people with good intentions doing very bad things in the name of the state. When most viewers seem agreed that, as presented in the show, there's not much to make us think the characters actually did something "wrong" and we side totally with those characters the show seems us to want to question or to see as tragically flawed heroes rather than just nornal heroes in very unfortunate situations. It feels like the motivation was some grand narrative to make us reflect on the nuance behind various events in the real world but the show executed it in such a way that, not unlike real world politics, it's left many people pushing back in the opposite direction thinking it's trying to sell a revisionist narrative that can't be substantiated by its own evidence. I can't help but think the whole show is a masterclass in what not to do when it comes making a plot outline, narrative arc, and setting up likeable characters. No one questions for the production quality from a fight choreography and VFX point of view - it never failed to LOOK like Star Wars in the way many previous projects have done. It's just the execution of the whole thing that's so baffling for a show where the "pitch" had enormous potential.

One of the rules of star wars is that one can be gifted in the force but without training it will fade.

If one is powerful with force it's through extensive training, earned. Not emotionally gained without understanding how you got there

@@TheKristianHarloff I agree, Osha successfully using the force choke on Sol, who just displayed his super strong abilities in the force is ridiculous as he should be able to deflect and protect himself from her. I was just thinking that the act of a force choke might be instinctual when tapping into the dark side and not necessarily needs to be trained. I also think that your idea of Jecki being the main character with her as a Jedi turning to the dark side would have been much better and more powerful character moment if she had been the one force choking sol and then killing her master. Especially since Osha literally said she never became a Jedi and wasn’t trained at the temple for all those years. Horrible writing and execution of a show idea that could’ve been so much better.

No, Steph, the rest of the wtiches died when Indara successfully exorcised Kalnaka from being possessed by Mother Koril. Indara restores Kalnaka to sovereignity over his body and in that moment, all the witches go from sitting and swaying "kumbaya style" from side to side to dead. The idea that Indara used the Force to snap everyone's neck remotely and then all the witches die is like Mike thinking that Osha's Force choke was somehow significant. Well..... at least you pantomimed the Stevie Wonder looking head/body side-to-side thing. Good on you for that; it shows you were actually watching. "You started that fire; you locked everyone in!" "Because the Jedi invaded our home! Everyone in there died because of the four of you!" "It was right for us to intervene. My biggest regret was that I wasn't able to save you both" Kristian, you are misinterpreting the dialog and assigning to Mae a motive she didn't have. Mike, she (I'm assuming your talking about Mae) never says, "I locked them up to protect them," or anything like it. Like, nothing. She says nothing even vaguely like that. Some of that scene was fine, some of it was not so great; the only part of that whole sequence that made no sense is why Basil the Nose (what do you call him? Shit Weasle?) sabotaged Sol's attempt to do....something? What thing? Was he going to try and shoot Mae down? Did his ship have a tractor beam? We don't know?

Overall I enjoyed the show. Reminds me a lot of how I felt about the Prequels. I was really liking Sol but they lost me these last 2 episodes. It was never clear why he suddenly wanted Osha as a padwan. Then him continually bringing up this episode that Mae and Osha were not twins seemed like exposition for us but I don't get what his point was in saying that as some justification of why he was sus about Anisea. I think the show was trying to make Sol an overzealous cop but by the end the motives were confusing.

@Sgt.Leonardo 2 месяца назад

The only justification I can see about the force choke is that they did train in the force as kids. They trapped/froze the bird or butterfly in the ep 3 I think. Can probably trapped or freeze a throat. 100000% agree about not making a complete season 1. So many questions! You can see the budget, looks good but not in the writing.

I think they did massive reshoots without changing dialogue in the finale. Torbin suicides, Sol is guilt ridden, Osha and Mae are beyond anger over what Sol and the Jedi did, and what the Jedi was shown doing is *checks notes* tries to rescue kids from *checks notes* a witch cult. Like, think back to college when you wrote a paper and then had to hamfist some essential points into the middle, but don’t really feel like sweeping the whole thing to make sure it all has the new correct connective tissue, thinking “eh whatever its good enough.”

David Harewood, the actor who played the senator, was in the sitcom "Selfie" with Karen Gillan, John Cho, and Samm Levine (who played his son-in-law).

How could Sol possibly be implicated in Indara’s death when he was on Coruscant? That would be very easy to check. He was with younglings later where you aren’t supposed to remember that.

I didn’t hate the show. It’s a very soft 7/10 for me. But the stuff that doesn’t work is pretty bad. There’s no doubt in my mind it would’ve been better as a 2 hour movie. Just like every Star Wars and Marvel show. No more shows. Back to movies forever.

Kristian, you got it correctly! Osha ended up being Qimir's acolyte. I couldn't stop laughing during this episode. "Plagueis" is shy. 😂 Didn't I hear Sol say to Osha, "I lov....". Before he was thread-choked. Btw, Mae wanted Sol to pay for his crimes. But she allowed Osha to take vengeance?!?? The writing throughout this entire series was "dumb". To those that liked the show. "Respect". EDIT: Sweet background! Nice job on the wall, Brett!

As someone who is totally on board with the opinions you Mike and Steph set out in this episode - very fair minded opinions, good faith opinions - Id be so interested if the three of you could have an episode with StarWarsExplained as guests discussing this show. I like their channel and I know youve worked together before, so it would be fascinating to see how you/they reconcile being on such different ends of the spectrum about this show. As when I watch their guests on their channel to find out and try to understand more why some people have been lapping this up and are unmoved by the poor writting choices the showrunner made, I feel like its not even disagreement, its not different opinions on the same stuff, its like two different spheres of discourse entirely. So I think it would be genuinely fascinating to see a sensible friendly good faith conversation about it. I know it wont happen, but listening to you and Mike and nodding along, all I can think about is "what if someone who hasnt been expressing these concers and who knows every minute detail of the lore were in the room? What would THEY say to all this if a conversation was held in good faith". Because im someone who follows and remembers all the lore, and with all that knowledge I HAVE to conclude the answers to most of the questions youve been asking are left ambiguous on purpose for a second season. Which, if behind the scenes a second season hasnt been gjven the go ahead, is an awfully arrogant and mean spirited thing to do to people watching your show.

Do you think they filmed, the plagues scene later after all the back lash. Depending how hard it is. It’s a very fast shot

I’ve enjoyed the show quite a lot. I understand clearly why people don’t, but I’ve been able to focus on the positives and more or less ignore the negatives. The thing that I really don’t understand though is why did they have to leave Mae behind ? They could have taken her with them, or drop her off anywhere out of the Jedi’s reach. It felt like a titanic door situation to me.

The senator in the last episode was Martian Manhunter in the CW Supergirl show. He was awesome in that too.

Darth Plagues is beyond this show. Shouldn’t have been no where near this series’s.

The lightsaber turning red is called 'bleeding' the lightsaber. The only other time I've seen it was the new Jedi Survivor game. But It was a new concept to me at that point. But I think it's an interested representation of the corruption within.

@Anthonycheesman33 2 месяца назад

I think the show is just okay I’m giving the season a 6.5 out of 10 not the worst thing I’ve seen but not worth the 180 million dollar budget either .I have the same issues with this show that I have with every Disney plus show not just Star Wars but in general . 8 episodes 6 episodes with 35 min runtime just isn’t enough .

Did Kristian ever catch up on the final season of The Bad Batch? I recall that he wasn't watching the season because he was busy with his move at the time, and I don't think that he's ever mentioned it since. I'd be interested to know his thoughts on it.

My Wife, who likes this show, had this conversation with me. ME: So the main writer for this show is a lady named Leslie Headland Wife: Oh Ok So Didn't Dave Filoni help? Me: No he wasn't involved with this one at all. He was not promoted yet and still working on Ahsoka. Wife: Ah. Well it shows.

@auburnjedi 2 месяца назад

This is the first time I've seen the Venestra actress Rebecca Henderson, but like you I was wondering about her acting chops... then I saw she is Headland's spouse. So maybe she is acting exactly like Headland saw the character, or she just can't act.
