Episode 156: Reviewing The Acolyte Episodes 4-6 (SPOILERS) · Most Things Kenobi - A Star Wars Podcast

• 0:00
  Hello there, control your insolence and concentrate.
• 0:05
  It's time for Most Things Kenobi.
• 0:21
  Hi everyone, welcome to another episode of Most Things Kenobi, a
• 0:24
  podcast about Obi Wan Kenobi and all things Star Wars.
• 0:27
  I'm your host, Leanne. And I'm your host, Lauren.
• 0:32
  OK, now I know I said that we would be wrapping up The
• 0:34
  Acolyte, and that's because this dumbass thought that there were
• 0:37
  only six episodes. So when Lauren's like, did you
• 0:40
  watch the finale? And I'm like, well, yeah, like
• 0:43
  weeks ago. And she's like, no, it just
• 0:44
  happened. I'm like, there's more episode.
• 0:48
  So here I am walking around thinking that episode 6 was the
• 0:52
  last episode, and I was content with it.
• 0:54
  I was like, oh, major cliffhanger, lot of holes, but
• 0:58
  whatever. Yeah, I was ready for Season 2.
• 1:03
  Bring on Season 2. So we're talking about episodes
• 1:08
  4-5 and six, and then we will talk about the actual last
• 1:12
  episodes at a later date 'cause people are still watching it.
• 1:16
  So. Well, people have spoiled it for
• 1:19
  me already. For fuck's sake.
• 1:21
  People have a tendency to just send me stuff without asking if
• 1:24
  I've watched it and I'm like, I haven't seen it yet.
• 1:28
  I slow you gotta so you gotta you gotta give the preface
• 1:35
  before I start. Have you seen it yet?
• 1:38
  It literally takes 2 seconds in. This day and age I should know
• 1:42
  better, right? I should just watch stuff
• 1:43
  immediately. But.
• 1:45
  People are excited that's. All I mean, and it is, I don't
• 1:48
  know, I think it's been very entertaining.
• 1:51
  It's definitely got my attention.
• 1:53
  Episode 5, my jaw was on the floor for most of it.
• 1:57
  That's what we're going to spend a lot of time talking about.
• 1:59
  I think that and and like episode 4 was just the precursor
• 2:03
  to episode 55 was insane. And six was like, so I don't
• 2:09
  know. I have a lot of thoughts.
• 2:11
  We're going to discuss all of it.
• 2:12
  Yeah, I finished watching episode 6.
• 2:16
  I watched them all in a row, 4-5 and six all together.
• 2:18
  So they're kind of like blended together in my mind.
• 2:20
  I can't remember what happened where, but I just kind of turned
• 2:24
  off the TV and sat there and I was like, that was really good.
• 2:27
  It was good. I was I'm really impressed in in
• 2:31
  fact, like I'm disappointed in the OK, so here's here's how you
• 2:35
  do it folks. We're going to give a spoiler
• 2:38
  warning and if you haven't seen these episodes for any reason,
• 2:42
  turn away now. OK, all right, there's your
• 2:44
  break. Now I'm disappointed that
• 2:47
  everyone fucking died, because I was really rooting for the girl
• 2:53
  with the spikes in her head. What's her name?
• 2:55
  She was the Padawan Jackie. I was really rooting for her.
• 3:00
  Yeah, she's. She got the two sabers.
• 3:02
  She was. She was doing some Ahsoka shit.
• 3:04
  She was fighting back. She was arresting people.
• 3:08
  I'm so. Calm.
• 3:09
  She's dead. I know.
• 3:12
  And that was awful. Like it.
• 3:14
  It wasn't just like, oh, quick. He like, stabbed her three
• 3:16
  times. Yeah.
• 3:18
  And then? She's a kid.
• 3:20
  Yeah, I know, I know. Jedi.
• 3:23
  Jedi. Don't care.
• 3:25
  Then they killed the the dude who was friends with with.
• 3:30
  Oh, Ord. Ord with the gold.
• 3:33
  Like the magnificent hair? Yeah, the.
• 3:35
  Magnificent hair. He's dead.
• 3:38
  Like everyone's fucking dead. Now I knew he died 'cause
• 3:41
  someone spoiled that for me. Oh for fuck's.
• 3:43
  Sake gonna die? Yeah.
• 3:45
  All of it's so very sad because OK, so I I went and read why did
• 3:52
  everybody die? Typed it in, What was the point
• 3:54
  of this? And it turns out it all
• 3:56
  allegedly hinges on one line from Mother fucking Chiati Mundi
• 4:02
  from the prequels. Which one?
• 4:05
  Which is, he says, something like, how has the Sith risen
• 4:10
  under our noses? And it's like, well, everyone
• 4:13
  who knew about the stranger died and there was no like passed
• 4:18
  down information about any of this taking place.
• 4:22
  So everyone theorized that people would have to die to be
• 4:26
  an isolated occurrence that. Yeah, that makes sense.
• 4:29
  That would further trickle down to what we know about in the
• 4:32
  prequels. And I'm like, for real, we're
• 4:34
  gonna go off A1 line from Chiat and money like.
• 4:37
  Of all the Jedi, please. Please.
• 4:40
  But I don't know. It's not verified.
• 4:41
  It's just a theory. Maybe it is verified now that
• 4:44
  the show's over. I have no fucking clue.
• 4:46
  But like or like the seasons over.
• 4:48
  But I was really disappointed because I was liking those
• 4:52
  people and then it was just like loss of life everywhere you
• 4:56
  looked. They don't do that super often
• 4:58
  in Star Wars, just in Rogue One. Yep, that had a point too.
• 5:03
  Yeah. That they had to die.
• 5:06
  Yeah, it was. And like I get it if they are
• 5:08
  trying to like and unfortunately I've had it spoiled so I know
• 5:12
  what's coming like for that to happen and exist.
• 5:15
  No one else could have survived to tell the tell anyone, which
• 5:18
  makes me very worried about Master Soul.
• 5:22
  Yeah, yeah, I know. And I really love him.
• 5:24
  But I have a new favorite character.
• 5:27
  Go. Who's that?
• 5:28
  The Stranger, yeah, who doesn't have a name yet as of.
• 5:33
  Oh, he does. Six.
• 5:34
  What is his name? I don't know, I have to look
• 5:36
  does. He have a name.
• 5:37
  Yeah, it's like Kamir or something like that.
• 5:39
  Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Actually, now that you mention
• 5:41
  it, he does have a name. OK, so the the the bad guy, I
• 5:47
  fucking love him. I called it by the way that.
• 5:50
  Did you? Yeah, that guy was gonna be her
• 5:53
  Master. She just didn't know it, 'cause
• 5:56
  they're walking through the forest and he's acting all goofy
• 5:59
  and kind of stupid. And, and then she says something
• 6:02
  that they were talking about how, well, you've never seen his
• 6:04
  face. And I was like, well, that means
• 6:05
  he's, he's the guy. Because it would make the most
• 6:10
  sense. It's the most twisted idea.
• 6:13
  And I love that. The whole time she's been
• 6:15
  confiding in the person. I know that's.
• 6:19
  It's so smart. I love that and it's creepy.
• 6:22
  Then it you gotta watch your back.
• 6:25
  Yeah, it was great. I can't look up these people's
• 6:28
  names because I know I'm going to get spoiled.
• 6:30
  So I'm going to have what is his name?
• 6:33
  Can you look it up so that I can refer to him as something other
• 6:37
  than this? He was the stranger up until
• 6:40
  whenever and then I I find him to be extremely interesting.
• 6:46
  I find him deep. I find him.
• 6:49
  I just spoiled something else for myself.
• 6:51
  I'm sorry. No, I'm not going to.
• 6:53
  I can't stand the Internet. I mean, it's been out for long
• 6:58
  enough that I should have watched it, but anyway.
• 7:02
  Still, I mean, people have lives like I haven't slowed down in
• 7:05
  weeks and I don't have time for Star Wars to.
• 7:07
  Be I know. Honest.
• 7:08
  So it's like. Barely had time to squeeze this
• 7:10
  recording in today. Well, anyway, he, he, I find him
• 7:15
  to be the most intriguing of all of them.
• 7:19
  And after he and OSHA, is it OSHA?
• 7:23
  After OSHA gets to his island and they have a talk, they
• 7:28
  discuss things and he's questioning her.
• 7:31
  A lot of the stuff. I don't know if this is bad, I
• 7:34
  don't know if this is, I don't know if this is just bad, but he
• 7:40
  makes a lot of sense to me. Yeah.
• 7:44
  The points he's bringing up. That's the point, is that it's
• 7:48
  very seductive. And I think it's fun when the
• 7:53
  audience gets kind of like, seduced along with the character
• 7:57
  where you're like, yeah, I mean, he he's not wrong.
• 8:01
  Yeah, like Palpatine also wasn't really wrong sometimes.
• 8:06
  Wasn't really wrong either. I mean, some of the separatist
• 8:10
  stuff in isolated bits wasn't necessarily like, wrong.
• 8:15
  It was how they went about it, like, you know.
• 8:18
  Right, right, right, right. The sentiment is, I think
• 8:21
  natural, especially talking about OSHA and him apparently if
• 8:25
  he was actually as abandoned as he said he was and like cast out
• 8:29
  by the Jedi. Well, he said something to the
• 8:31
  effect of he just wants to be able to do what he wants without
• 8:35
  feeling boxed in. OK, That doesn't necessarily
• 8:39
  mean kill everybody, OK. But like, I get that sentiment
• 8:42
  of like, when there's so many rules and there's so many things
• 8:46
  you have to abide by, it can feel stifling.
• 8:50
  There's freedom in being able to go your own way.
• 8:53
  So if you interpret it in the way of like societal pressures,
• 8:59
  I, I get it if the Jedi, I mean, if that just doesn't jive with
• 9:03
  you, then you don't need to be a Jedi, just walk away.
• 9:06
  But also you don't need to kill everybody either.
• 9:11
  There's that balance. Thing it was interesting when he
• 9:14
  was trying to kind of get to her by saying it's OK to feel angry
• 9:20
  about the way you've been treated.
• 9:22
  I thought that was interesting because it's like it's you and I
• 9:26
  talk about this all the time, how we have you have to feel
• 9:29
  through your emotions and that's very difficult.
• 9:32
  And I guess the Jedi, it's not that they don't have these
• 9:37
  emotions, obviously, because Master Soul went off the fucking
• 9:41
  chain. He almost lost his school.
• 9:44
  He. Clearly felt angry, but the Sith
• 9:47
  I guess are using it to empower them and that's what's wrong
• 9:52
  about it. But I just.
• 9:53
  It was very interesting to hear a very rational, calm person.
• 9:58
  He wasn't like Maul. You can tell Maul's fucking
• 10:01
  nuts, Yeah, and that's part of the pleasure of watching him.
• 10:05
  But this guy was very controlled, calm, easy, super
• 10:09
  confident. He comes across as rational.
• 10:13
  Yeah, like sympathetic and rational.
• 10:15
  Not a psychopath. It was very interesting.
• 10:20
  I really enjoyed the the whole idea.
• 10:24
  I did wonder if that was Octo for a minute.
• 10:27
  Oh, me too. I thought so, too.
• 10:28
  I thought so too. And I was like, oh, we going
• 10:30
  back. But it was awfully rocky.
• 10:32
  It was very volcanic. It was, yeah.
• 10:34
  The little animals were so cute. Whoa, those were whole.
• 10:41
  Those were so precious. I was like, please don't let
• 10:43
  anything happen to them, please, please, please.
• 10:45
  But they had like a little family and they were all
• 10:47
  muzzling. I know I loved those.
• 10:52
  Those were really. They got me.
• 10:54
  They got me. They.
• 10:56
  Those were, yeah, just a tiny little soft touch to such a
• 11:01
  volcanic, rocky, scary teeth like.
• 11:04
  Yeah. You know, I like this little
• 11:06
  swimming pool. That was a nice little hot tub
• 11:07
  he had. Yeah, that was.
• 11:10
  I didn't have any problems with that scene.
• 11:12
  Why didn't we have what we want to do any of this?
• 11:15
  I don't know, maybe I I have no explanation.
• 11:18
  Oh wait, he was on Tatooine. Never mind, he got to go to an
• 11:22
  island for this shit. Shit.
• 11:27
  I mean, they kept saying that he smelled and then he needed to
• 11:29
  take a shower so they could have given us a scene, but.
• 11:34
  What any who I I I OK, so I find the the thought of his OK.
• 11:41
  He brought this up to me and text messages his helmet, which
• 11:45
  is it's fucking frightening. It's terrifying and I love it.
• 11:50
  Do you I, I, I I like the fact that it can knock out a Saber
• 11:55
  like a short circuit. Yeah, that's really cool.
• 11:58
  It's fair it it it's not best gar, but it's a mineral similar.
• 12:03
  I mean, it grows in that on that island, it's pretty grows it.
• 12:07
  It's produced, it's formed, it's whatever.
• 12:09
  It's very interesting. This guy is very resourceful.
• 12:13
  He lives alone. He's got his own thing going.
• 12:15
  He obviously minds whatever component this is that he
• 12:19
  creates his armor out of. He's very intelligent.
• 12:23
  And I give props to the actor because he comes across as very,
• 12:28
  like I said, sympathetic, rational, and a hint sad.
• 12:33
  Like, in order to persuade and manipulate someone, you have to
• 12:36
  feel something for that person, whether it's a connection to
• 12:40
  what they're saying. You have to feel sympathy or or
• 12:43
  like even feel bad for someone. Like, oh, this person doesn't
• 12:47
  deserve that. And he's working all of it.
• 12:49
  And he's coming across in his method of acting as just that.
• 12:55
  I think he's a fantastic choice for wherever this character
• 12:58
  goes. Oh yeah.
• 13:00
  I love it I. Think too, is he also in the
• 13:02
  beginning, when we first get introduced to him, he's like
• 13:04
  kind of kind of goofy, kind of derpy, kind of flirty, youthful.
• 13:10
  So. He's got all these sides, that
• 13:12
  which I think makes him more frightening, that he has the
• 13:15
  ability, yes. Like you could never trust that
• 13:19
  person ever. It's terrifying.
• 13:22
  Yeah, 'cause which version are you going to get?
• 13:24
  You don't know. And you never know if it's
• 13:26
  sincere. You could never be.
• 13:29
  I loved the helmet though. I love that it like made the
• 13:32
  voice. Growl.
• 13:34
  Yeah, a bit. Teeth bit.
• 13:36
  Teeth. I think the theme of the teeth
• 13:40
  is really cool because you said the island kind of had like a
• 13:43
  look of teeth and the teeth in the helmet, like that's a very
• 13:45
  deliberate choice. It's very predatory.
• 13:48
  It is. It's really, I just thought it
• 13:51
  was really great design. I really liked it.
• 13:53
  Well, from a combat standpoint, think about it.
• 13:56
  If that approached you, my eyes would go straight to the teeth
• 13:59
  part. Yeah.
• 14:01
  Like what the hell is this and why are you so scary?
• 14:03
  And then all of a sudden you're already thrown off your game.
• 14:05
  You're not focusing. Yeah.
• 14:08
  You know, yes. I mean, that's been a tactic of
• 14:11
  like ancient warriors for a long time to to terrify their
• 14:15
  opponents in battle is definitely effective.
• 14:19
  Well, fucking I know. Vader's entire get up is scary
• 14:25
  as shit, even though it's served a purpose.
• 14:28
  Yeah, but it gave him that presence that nobody wanted to
• 14:31
  fight. You couldn't see the eyes.
• 14:32
  You couldn't. You don't know what's under
• 14:34
  there. It's.
• 14:36
  It's. All black, all one color.
• 14:39
  OK, did you catch the Vader thing?
• 14:42
  When OSHA put the helmet on and she breathed, it was identical
• 14:47
  to when Anakin first gets the helmet put on him at on in
• 14:51
  Revenge of the Sith. Like when it clicks into place
• 14:54
  and it's just complete silence and it's the breathing.
• 14:56
  It's like the first Vader breath.
• 14:59
  Yes. And.
• 15:00
  That was really cool. I thought it was super
• 15:02
  effective. Yeah.
• 15:05
  I don't know. I think this show is really
• 15:06
  smart. It's a deprivation Chamber of
• 15:09
  sorts. Pretty much and not.
• 15:11
  Daters but this. This one, yeah.
• 15:14
  And he, he said if you put it on, then it's nothing but you
• 15:18
  and the Force. And since she has kind of, I
• 15:21
  don't know if she's blocked herself off deliberately from
• 15:24
  the Force, I don't think so, because she kind of felt those
• 15:28
  creatures, you know, which I hated that I didn't ever want to
• 15:31
  see that again. I like those I skipped.
• 15:34
  I skipped right through most of that, but that's very the vibe I
• 15:37
  was getting. Was Merkwood Forest in Lord of
• 15:40
  the Rings really instead of spiders?
• 15:44
  It was moths, which is even even.
• 15:49
  It's basically. Moths.
• 15:50
  Even keel with the same shit and.
• 15:53
  I literally just gave myself goosebumps.
• 15:54
  I feel like vomiting. That's not my favorite.
• 15:58
  Not my favorite, yeah. I don't.
• 16:00
  I don't want it to become Indiana Jones where we have to
• 16:02
  have some horrific creepy crawly scene in every Star Wars.
• 16:05
  But. I will say I love that planet.
• 16:08
  I love the entire planet. I love the vibe of that planet
• 16:12
  so much, the trees, the canopy of trees and the and the long
• 16:16
  things that and like the Hut that the Wookie lived in.
• 16:20
  Rest in peace. We hardly knew ye, you know.
• 16:25
  Damn, but another Wookie gone. Even that scene, I thought like
• 16:30
  there were elements that felt like a horror film in in, Yeah,
• 16:34
  where she comes in and you're just like, oh, something
• 16:37
  terrible has happened to your. Yeah.
• 16:39
  And it's like, oh, he's already been murdered.
• 16:41
  It was. Such a nice Hut, I know it.
• 16:43
  Was a very nice little house. I really I really enjoy that
• 16:46
  planet. I would live there.
• 16:47
  It seems humid, but I would probably have a Hut there away
• 16:52
  from the cockroach moths. Yes, very.
• 16:55
  Or I could be at peace with them.
• 16:56
  One or the other, maybe. Maybe they would stay away from
• 17:00
  you. You stay away from me.
• 17:04
  Oh. Hi, Claire.
• 17:05
  Oh. Oh, that was a loud one.
• 17:10
  So the fighting was pretty cool, I thought.
• 17:13
  I thought the fighting was fantastic.
• 17:14
  That's the fighting I want to see in Star Wars.
• 17:17
  That all of it all. Every bit of it.
• 17:20
  When soul like when ape shit. Holy shit that was cool.
• 17:25
  I give all of them credit, I really do.
• 17:28
  I know I said in the first couple episodes that like
• 17:31
  they're just backing away and not using anything and oh, I'm
• 17:33
  in control and watch me step away from you.
• 17:35
  But no, they've completely redeemed themselves.
• 17:38
  Yeah, I was, I was so excited when Jackie was doing the double
• 17:43
  Saber thing. I said this bitch has it on
• 17:45
  lock. She's got this.
• 17:47
  And then like bop, bop, bop a triangle of death.
• 17:51
  And she was she's gone. I mean, it was, it was a it was
• 17:55
  the Illuminati of poor. I mean, rest in peace.
• 18:03
  We hardly knew ye. I was just starting to like ye.
• 18:06
  And she's gone. I know she was awesome, I really
• 18:09
  liked her. Is there like chemistry between
• 18:11
  her and OSHA? Was that something implied that?
• 18:14
  The stranger then said Like you keep attaching yourself, like
• 18:19
  you fall in love with people that can never love you back.
• 18:22
  I thought that because they like kind of looked at each other a
• 18:25
  lot for a really long time. And it was almost like the
• 18:28
  stranger caught on to that. He was implying Jackie and
• 18:32
  implying master soul and how like.
• 18:34
  The vibe I got was that Osha's just looking for a friend and
• 18:39
  Jackie was letting her in a little bit.
• 18:42
  Just a little. I, I didn't get anything
• 18:43
  romantic. Are you implying a romantic?
• 18:45
  I could see that, but I I didn't see it at the time.
• 18:48
  That's cool. I wasn't.
• 18:50
  It wasn't like it was never said overtly, but there were like
• 18:54
  long lingering gazes and it it could have been friendship or
• 18:58
  could have been more either way. Like the point, I think the
• 19:01
  point was that the stranger was making the point that no matter
• 19:05
  who she gets attached to, whether romantically or just,
• 19:08
  you know, through tender feelings of friendship, like it
• 19:12
  can't be reciprocated because she gets attached to the Jedi
• 19:16
  even from a young age as a little girl.
• 19:19
  And they can't, like, love her back, but she can't detach
• 19:23
  herself from that need, you know?
• 19:26
  This goes back to our attachment as episode like what is right
• 19:31
  and what is wrong? How much is too much and how how
• 19:35
  little is too little? Yeah.
• 19:39
  I'll tell you who I don't like. Please.
• 19:43
  The bald headed green one with the the lasso purple.
• 19:47
  Over Vernessa. Vernessa.
• 19:50
  I'm sorry but that is like one step away from the Sigerian
• 19:55
  Laser. Yes, yeah, absolutely.
• 19:57
  I'm not a fan. I know people think it's cool,
• 19:59
  whatever. I do think that she is the
• 20:02
  master of. The stranger I.
• 20:05
  That's the connection there. That's what I.
• 20:07
  Oh, you think so? I do.
• 20:08
  I don't know. Everyone's probably like no.
• 20:10
  Or everyone's like, yeah, it's 'cause everyone's seen the
• 20:12
  finale, but whatever. I don't know.
• 20:14
  I think that giant scar on his back looks like it could have
• 20:18
  come from a lasso, and she seems cold enough to do it.
• 20:21
  Plus, you know, you know how we were talking about the Jedi
• 20:24
  Trials and how back in this time they were doing them, You mean?
• 20:29
  That she was his Jedi Master or his current Master.
• 20:33
  No, I think his Jedi Master. And he's like, I'm out.
• 20:37
  You hit me with your whip, I'm out.
• 20:38
  Makes a lot of sense, actually. Yeah, I buy into your theory.
• 20:43
  Do you buy into the theory? Well, it's only a theory now
• 20:45
  until we finish these damn episodes.
• 20:49
  Well, we might not know, like they might not wrap up, maybe if
• 20:52
  they're planning more seasons. Could just the way oh I did like
• 20:56
  how she has the the Quinlan Voss like she can feel and sense what
• 21:01
  happened in places by being there and touching things is
• 21:04
  very similar I. Really liked that they added the
• 21:08
  detail she gets like motion sick.
• 21:13
  Her assistant or whatever was like.
• 21:14
  Yes, yes. Are you sure you want to go?
• 21:17
  You get kind of queasy. When we do in hyperspace, yeah,
• 21:20
  yeah, I I did like that was a nice touch.
• 21:23
  It adds like a humid. There's not been a lot of humor
• 21:27
  like that. And like, those are the little
• 21:28
  gems that are special in Star Wars where, you know, like Han
• 21:32
  Solo. Oh, you're.
• 21:33
  Cold. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 21:37
  It's good stuff. I I enjoyed that they put that
• 21:39
  in there. That was pretty funny.
• 21:41
  You know I miss Han in times like these, you know?
• 21:44
  I know, I know. He was such a unique person.
• 21:47
  There's a just a lot of Jedi going on here.
• 21:50
  I which is the point. But I miss the rogue side
• 21:55
  characters that are very human, very nothing special, but they
• 22:00
  are special because of it. You know, I miss, I miss the Han
• 22:03
  solos of the world. Yeah, he's just special.
• 22:07
  I know it's really, it's cool to see the Jedi being badasses and
• 22:11
  I actually kind of appreciate that they're not doing anything
• 22:14
  completely fucking nuts like they do in the prequels where
• 22:18
  they're like flipping and I don't know, it's it gets a very
• 22:23
  extreme. This is fucking badass.
• 22:27
  And I believe it. It's like, yeah, it's believable
• 22:31
  to an extent. Like it is still like cinema.
• 22:34
  I get it, but it's more fun for me personally.
• 22:38
  I know I'm like really in the minority here.
• 22:41
  I I think it's more fun to watch people doing something that
• 22:44
  they're actually doing and it's not all CGI, Ed flipping and all
• 22:49
  sorts of crazy shit. I think this is really cool and
• 22:52
  I know that the actor who played the stranger did most of his own
• 22:56
  stuff. He said he had a dance
• 22:58
  background and so. He totally.
• 23:02
  Yeah, Mads Mickelson is the same.
• 23:03
  He has a dance background and he is so good at sword fighting
• 23:07
  it's insane. I mean, it is a dance, really.
• 23:11
  They say there's some like phrase that says like if like
• 23:14
  don't put a sword in a man's hand who has, has no dancing
• 23:18
  skills or something like that. And it's 'cause they're, they
• 23:21
  have control of their body in a way that most of us don't
• 23:26
  totally. But I mean, you can see it.
• 23:28
  I mean, this guy is so good and believable and, and same with
• 23:33
  the actor who plays Seoul. I think he does most of his own
• 23:36
  stunts too. Like they're just so good
• 23:38
  together. They're really excellent.
• 23:40
  And I really, I was just entertained.
• 23:43
  I predicted one thing about it and I'm OK with that.
• 23:46
  But it was still a good plot twist.
• 23:48
  I think it was still super smart.
• 23:49
  I'm not like disappointed to predict things all the time,
• 23:52
  just some other times. I think the cinematography is
• 23:55
  great. The acting is really good.
• 23:57
  The story has kept me really interested.
• 23:59
  Same. Same, so I'm giving this show a
• 24:03
  thumbs up so far. I mean I can't wait to see the
• 24:05
  last two episodes. Pleasantly surprised.
• 24:08
  I expected nothing from this show.
• 24:10
  I had nothing to go on because I I stayed away from any rumors
• 24:15
  any like behind the scenes photo.
• 24:17
  You know, people always take like on set photos.
• 24:19
  Here they are. I try to stay away from all of
• 24:22
  that and I literally have all of the keywords blocked on Twitter
• 24:27
  so that I really do not come across anything.
• 24:30
  That's great. It's.
• 24:31
  Smart. I mean, I, I do my very best to
• 24:33
  avoid anything so that I don't go in hoping for something and
• 24:37
  then I'm disappointed. I'd rather just have a clean
• 24:39
  slate, which is yeah, I've been, like you said, thumbs up,
• 24:42
  pleasantly surprised. The story's fantastic.
• 24:45
  I'm here for it. I like these people.
• 24:47
  I like the ones that were alive too, but sadly we'll have to
• 24:53
  have a very large memorial service and I'm really glad.
• 24:56
  So I kept waiting for someone to say like, we must gather the
• 25:00
  bodies and bury them because and they just peace out and left all
• 25:03
  these bodies there. I'm like, doesn't anyone care
• 25:05
  about the dead? They've returned to the Force
• 25:09
  now, Leanne, don't worry about it.
• 25:11
  Well, they got to be picked up because they're literally laying
• 25:14
  there like. Oh, awful.
• 25:17
  Yeah, it's like, at least straighten them, do something.
• 25:21
  And then Vernestra, I think Vernestra said that they they
• 25:24
  had to prepare the body. So I was like, thank you.
• 25:26
  Please. I'm hoping for more from her in
• 25:29
  the next couple episodes. I want more from her where she's
• 25:32
  less cold. But if that's gonna be her
• 25:34
  character, I can't accept that. I can.
• 25:36
  She's just the female Mace. Yeah, Mace Windu, Chiari Munde
• 25:40
  and honestly even Yoda sometimes.
• 25:42
  Yoda is warmer, I think as he ages, but they're all kind of
• 25:47
  cold. Yeah.
• 25:50
  Yeah, they're the kind of people I feel like if you cracked a
• 25:52
  joke, they would just wouldn't find it funny.
• 25:54
  They would blink at you. Yeah.
• 25:57
  Yeah, exactly. Well, two thumbs up for me.
• 26:03
  How about you? Yeah, same.
• 26:05
  I'm really excited to see how it ends.
• 26:06
  I mean, I know, I know the big plot twist, but I'm still
• 26:10
  excited to see how they put it all together.
• 26:17
  We'll join us back next week. We are gonna wrap up the Acolyte
• 26:22
  again. Yeah.
• 26:23
  For real this time. For real this time.
• 26:26
  We'll review episode seven and eight and then we'll be done.
• 26:31
  And I'm excited. I'm really.
