Star Wars The Acolyte Specs

I’d be very surprised if there was anything put in this series that has influence on what occurs within the 100 years between this show and the prequels. Seems like a renegade witch colony now only survived by the twins. My curiosity is of the ‘creating’. Why mention it and then kill her off without clarity of how?

There’s still more to come obviously, but I am as far away from an answer as I can get considering:

ACOLYTE:

  1. One who assists a member of the clergy in a liturgical service by performing minor duties
  2. One who attends or assists a leader

Why is this a big deal as a Star Wars series and why should I care? I’ll watch to the end of the series to find out as it’s too early to bow out.

Additionally, how in the he!! did this cost $180M to make?

As of right now, I’d say they are simply a vehicle for the Sith.

The Sith at this time are operating in the shadows while at the same time the Jedi Order is becoming very dogmatic and regimented.

This is a far cry from what the Jedi were during the height of the High Republic, and likely what caused them to grow “deaf,” for lack of a better term, to certain aspects of the Force during the prequels/republic era…you know, the part of the force that would help you sense a Sith (Palpatine) sitting right under your nose.

Making Mother Koril a Sith apprentice of Plagueis would be cool. Did we see her dead in the aftermath? She obviously has all the motives in place to hate the Jedi and join the Sith.

I’m not sure if she was there or not, but yeah that would be cool.

I know none of the people looked like they died because of fire. They were slaughtered by something or someone, but it didn’t appear to be a fire. Hopefully, we see more next week.

Yeah, as soon as it was over I was like a fire couldn’t have killed them all. Something else happened that we don’t know yet. My guess is the red hair horn head lady is the “sith”. With the emphasis on all that boring training bull$hit in the third episode, let me guess, the two girls are going to use their combined bull$hit to defeat the “Sith” person after it is revealed she killed the black lady mother in an argument after letting Osha choose to be a Jedi. This episode was boooooring. Disney just pandering to itself.

Sol is the Sith. That’s the only thing that can save this show.

I don’t think anything can save this train wreck at this point. Totally pointless series that will end and not tie into anything nor be renewed.

Yeah a lot of people hated the first episodes of Asoka, first episodes of BOBB, and first episodes of Mando. Than later on “Oh my goshhhh best series ever!” Lol.

I say let it ride and see where they take us.

Below are two very good summaries of episode 3 and speculation of what is to come. Watching these made me have a much better appreciation of where the show is now and what is likely coming next. Plagues is coming…in fact he (or she?) might have already appeared…

I will definitely check those out! I’ve watched those before and been blown away by things I missed that were actually important :joy:

Thank you

So you set a fire to kill your sister so she can’t leave, but then you are sad when you think she is dead. Makes sense.

She’s an unstable young kid who has been influenced by Koril. She’s obviously seriously troubled emotionally.

My favorite review on the list above is the person who gave 5 stars ‘criticizing’ the review bombers, then proceeds to call the show ‘hysterical if not pitiful’.

Reverse UNO 5 star rating?

You’ve created something … interesting, when people simply ‘hate watch’ your show :rofl:

The reviews for the Acolyte are bad. The story is hard to follow because too many storylines do not make sense. I hope it will turn around.

Last night’s episode seemed to be a lot of “walking around” going nowhere…finally picked up at the very end just to be continued next week. What really bothered me was when Mae suddenly had a change of heart at a moments notice…just decided after killing a few Jedi, “this acolyte thing just isn’t for me…”

It is very hard to follow for the casual fan, for sure.

Seems like Qimir is the “master”…although a I have a feeling he is an apprentice to Darth Plagueis…and only a “master” to the Acolyte.

Beginning to think osha died, and her conscious is actually within Mae…and these 4 Jedi had somehow played a roll in that transfer, which is their dark secret. A lot of hints there…it’s like the show has intentionally not had the two in the same scene except briefly when osha “misfired” at Mae…and Mae has all the “power”, while Osha has shown really no ability…like she’s a force projection.

I think when they tell the flashback story from Mae’s POV, Osha will be the one who died…and we’ll see the Jedi actually/unknowingly rescued Mae.

I think the concept very interesting…but I think the story could be structured better. Ready for/expecting some big plot twists though.
