Howdy friends! Another episode in the bag. Of course, my lovely brother was kind enough to grace me with his presence.

This episode was mid. Not terrible, not great. You can definitely see the writers are beginning to drag out some of the plotlines.

Yes, this does help create more mystery. However, it annoyed me more than it intrigued me. You have Osha and Mae. One is trained as a Jedi but doesn't make it. The other is trained by something. Is "The Stranger" (Qimir) a Sith or an Acolyte? What is an Acolyte? Not sure if we're going to find the answer.

This episode is broken up into thirds. Osha and Mae have swapped places. Mae, disguised as Osha, is now with Sol. Osha, disguised as Mae, is taken by Qimir aka "The Stranger" (according to Wookiepedia) and is now on an "unknown planet."

Master Vernestra leaves Coruscant with another cohort of Jedi to find Sol and his team, who were supposed to bring in Mae. All the while, Sol and Mae are onboard the ship with the tracker. Shortly after they take off, Mae has the opportunity to kill Sol, but he eventually discovers her.

He then binds her, and they jump to hyperspace and return to Brendok. At the same time, Master Vernestra arrives at Khofar. She begins to unravel what happened here.

We don't really learn much in this episode. The best parts were with Osha and Qimir. We learn why his armor could temporarily nullify a lightsaber. Other than that, we ended pretty much as we started. I'm distracted, so I'll stop rambling.

Howdy, Spacefarers!

Welcome to another episode of the Star Wars Rewatch Podcast! Today, we're diving into another exciting episode of The Acolyte, and once again, we're mixing up the order. Despite this, the episodes we've covered so far have been some of the best in the series.

Episode Highlights:

• Friends Become Enemies, Enemies Become Friends: This episode is packed with intense action and surprising twists. While the show has its flaws, the action scenes are a definite highlight that keep us entertained.

• Avoiding Spoilers & Reviews: I'm steering clear of other reviews and critiques of The Acolyte until I've seen the entire season. This way, I can share my genuine thoughts without any external influence.

• Dafne Keen's Role: I was thrilled to see Dafne Keen, known for her role as Wolverine's daughter in Logan, in the show! She plays Jecki, who forms an interesting friendship with Osha.

• Spectacular Lightsaber Fights: The lightsaber battles in this episode are top-notch, surpassing even some of the iconic scenes in Ahsoka, including the one featuring Hayden Christensen. The combat choreography is exceptional for a TV show.

I won't give away any more details to avoid spoilers, but the episode's action scenes are definitely worth watching!

Thanks for tuning in!

Howdy, My Fellow Spacefarers!

Thank you for being patient as we work on releasing our episodes. We appreciate our 22 subscribers on YouTube and many more on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and other podcast platforms.

Episode Order & Highlights:

We're doing things a little out of order here. Why? Well, there are no rules in podcasting! Also, episode four of The Acolyte has been the best by far.

Series Progress & Personal Insights:

The series is beginning to pick up speed. Yes, we will go back and record episodes for the ones we missed. I've been avoiding other content and media to keep my opinions unbiased.

I've seen some overwhelmingly negative opinions on Reddit, but also some strong counterarguments. The sense of mystery in the show is captivating. It makes you wonder who is telling the truth. Is it the Jedi? Mae? Sol? Qimir? We'll have to watch and see.

Standout Moments & Impressions:

The standout moment in this episode is the reveal of the dark warrior with the red lightsaber to the Jedi. What an entrance! It was a definite supervillain introduction, reminiscent of Ian McKellen's Magneto in the X-Men franchise. The character's design, with jagged teeth, is very threatening and adds to the mystery.

I'm looking forward to the next episode and revisiting the previous ones for a deeper dive into hidden details.

Thanks for listening!
