I actually liked episode 3 better than 1 and 2. I am left wondering what we don’t know about the fire May set. .
It just seems odd that not one witch ran to safety when the two kids were able to run around for some time after everyone else was on the floor.
I also don’t see what you’re thinking goes against the lore that George Lucas introduced.
How exactly do you think it tried to “re-contextualize everything and anything”? Did you feel the same way about Morgan Ellsbeth at the end of Ahsoka?
Morgan Elsbeth is a former night sister. Night Sisters Magic is just a different manifestation of the force that taps into the dark side through again force and the supernatural.
But the nights sister manifestation of the force rivaled what it was leading to people like Darth Sidious to eradicate the night sisters in The Clone Wars because he saw them as a threat.
The Coven of Witches in the acolyte have ousted themselves as witches so they aren’t force users in vain to Jedi or Sith. They use the analogy of a thread that and be plucked or pulled which through a jedis perspective would be viewed as perverse.
The Force doesn’t bend to anyone’s will it responds on its own sentiment depending on where it is pushed. This often led to it not being balanced and is why the Jedi fell during the prequel era. It’s why Anakin was created by the force and was always the chosen one and brought balance back to the force at the end of the Return of the Jedi.
The Head of this Coven in acolyte went on to say that the force isn’t a power that can’t be wield but again contradicted what she said with the thread analogy.
I won’t go into the argument about the immaculate conception of the twins, simply because it’s messy and quite frankly makes no sense how this sub sector of Witches were able to conceive force sensitive twins when in pre established canon various groups tried to create force sensitive life and failed.
Liked the last episode but I must admit to being disappointed that the Wookie Jedi is already gone.
Let’s talk Ki Adi Mundi and the Wookipedia
Firstly, Ki Adi Mundi… Mr “Impossible, The Sith Have Been Extinct For A Millennium” graces the small screen in this weeks episode.
I want to add that people cite that Ki Adi Mundi had a canon birth year, but that’s just not true. Mundi only had one in Legends.
A lot of discourse happened because of this and this promptly led to some quick Wookipedia edits that had errors to retcon what was there to fit the shows narrative.
Ki Adi Mundis involvement in the Acolyte doesn’t necessarily bother me in terms of his age and what year he was born, but how it conflicts with his appearance in the Phantom Menace.
He had certainty that the Sith wasn’t need in a very long time. But now he has awareness of the Jedi Murders and the Force Wielding individual.
So yea, just a glaring discrepancy that makes no sense given the context of the future.
Can’t say what the next few episodes will bring, but there’s no reason (yet) to believe that the bad guy in this show is actually a Sith, so there may not be any discrepancy after all. Not all dark side users are “Sith”.
What Ki Adi Mundi says regarding the Sith, can still be true from a certain point of view.
There are several ways they can go about this. Either they all die and is never able to confirm their attacker.
They don’t all die, but don’t make the connection to the Sith. It’s a waste galaxy and plenty of Dark Side cults.
Or the current Jedi council plays politics and covers it up.
I don’t believe that anything Dave Filoni is involved in would make such a big canon contradiction. The show still has 4 more episodes to round out the show and tie up lose ends or possibly a season 2.
The writing and the phasing isn’t very good. It’s kinda clunky.
I’m not disappointed by the show, I hoped for something on the level of Andor. Yet it’s another okay/good show.
Filoni had no direct involvement with The Acolyte. Between writing, directing, and producing he has no credits.
All he did was guide the Showrunner with that part of the timeline since it’s the High Republic. he had no direct involvement with the show and its creation/production process so any lore related additions have been the Showrunner and her Staff.
It’s already been stated by Sam Witwer that Dave Filoni isn’t the end all be all, all knowing with canon especially given during the production of the Clone Wars they almost had a scene involving Shmi Skywalker and Dialogue about how “She should of met Padme” or something along the lines of that, but Sam interjected stating that they met in Episode 1 which is true.
There is just so much Star Wars “history” even with Disney killing off huge swaths of it with the EU becoming legends. They are never gonna be perfect.
I just saw ep 4 and am enjoying each episode more and more. I really thought we were in trouble when 1 + 2 came out. Now it’s at least fun and interesting if not wonderful. Shame it can’t be as good as Andor, but will anything ever be as Rogue/Andor? Maybe if we get a Tarkin show that is all imperial politics and they manage to do it really well.
He’s still the chief creative officer at Lucas film. He doesn’t need to be a writer on the show to dictate what they can or cannot do. I believe he’s has far to much influence over Star Wars, if the rumours are true, this isn’t Leslye Headland true vision. It’s certainly not the show that was pitched. There are reports coming out that “confirms” that Dave had a lot more involvement in the show and it’s direction. This fits with the industry reports that been circulating for a while inside the industry and several big movie podcasts.
I believe this has Filoni and Kennedy written all over it. Asked me 4 year ago, he should run everything. Today, keep him a consultant.
The old EU has been Legends since 2014, the exception were Films and The Clone Wars. The history you mention and where the discrepancies occur are from the mainline films.
I’m in the camp where if you’re creating a Star Wars Project or pitch at the very least watch and take notes with your team about the main nine films figure out stuff you can do and can’t do.
It’s why I don’t recommend the EU for a lot of people cause like Legends it’s a lot for people. It’s an acquired taste and I’d only recommend it to devoted fan who want supplementary material.
Like you would only know this if you’re familiar with legends but the Jedi had a black site prison that only one Jedi ran with a bunch of robots and had no communication with the outside world.
Over half the prisoners sent to said prison was by Anakin of all people and after revenge of the Sith Vader goes to the prison and releases the prisoners only after the strong killed off the weak recruiting them to help destroy a coup on coruscant.
As of now I don’t regard the canon comics and books as real canon. Dave Filoni certainly doesn’t and it shows. There are some great arcs, but there are certainly also a lot of rubbish. Currently there are far too many instances with big contradictions.
I only regard the movies, tv-shows and games as canon. Then there are comics like the Vader comics I’m willing to see as canon, since it have been consistent with the main part of the series.
Just a general statement, but this shouldn’t dissuade people from looking into the stuff if they want some Star Wars content.
I’ve braced myself with The Acolyte by supplementing Star Wars content via Legends so at the very least I get my Fix.
You can find a lot of good Stories within the comics, but not everything is worth your time. It jumps around a lot and sometimes you need to read prior runs to get the full story.
I’m wrapping up The Empire Omnibus Vol 1, and I have Vol 2 on my shelf with Vol 3 coming later this year. So far it’s been great, I won’t jump into Vol 2 right away but that’s cause I wanna read Rise of the Sith first since it takes place before and leads up to Phantom Menace
And Episode 5 is out and the Sith people were adamant could just be Dark Jedi and or just a Dark Side Wielder has officially said is a Sith.
Probably the better episode of the series so far though.
Edit: also The Masters armor being made out of Cortosis is a bit OP since that metal is like the kryptonite of Lightsabers.
Who claimed this? It’s always been obvious that the bad guy was a sith. If I’m not mistaken the synopsis for the show back when it was announced, pretty much said as much or at least alluded to the involvement of the Sith.
That said I don’t think that the sith shown in the show is the Master. Rather the apprentice, seeking his own pupil.
I enjoyed this episode and I was glad to see how many of the Jedi died and I highly doubt that Sol will make it back to Coruscant. Keeping the Sith presence undetected until Maul. As of now the Jedi overall thinks it’s either a splinter order or a rogue Jedi.
People within the community as a large, between Reddit, discords, etc. very adamant that the master wasn’t Sith and gave very contrived reasons on why.
It has to be, otherwise it has to be a cover up. If neither then oh boy.
Firstly, what was actually said was “your people might call me ‘sith’?”… that’s not exactly an admission that he is actually a Sith, but regardless, so what? Unless some one else besides Master Sol knows about it, it doesn’t mean anything.
Now if in the next episode we have a scene with Sol running back to the temple and telling Ki Adi Mundi about the Sith he saw, I’ll happily eat crow on it, but so far, I have not seen anything to suggest that A) he’s actually a sith and B) that anyone else knows about it besides Sol.
