The Acolyte (Star Wars, Disney+) TV Show • Page 11

I'm usually irked that TV shows are too long these days, but that felt like half an episode.

 

That felt like a very DBZ ass way to end an episode

 

apparently the credits say it was him. and the other Kel Dor was not Plo Koon, but a different character.

 

The "we can't tell the high council" stuff was interesting. Kind of an early sign of the toxic institutional attitude that becomes more prominent within the Jedi high council itself during the prequel trilogy a century later. Justifying lies and secrets for the greater good. Also is a good way to explain why we won't see Yoda this season.

 

So Ki Adi Mundi is not only a liar but also now way older than he’s supposed to be. Odd thing to break canon for lol

In 1 of his 3 lines in the entire prequel trilogy he clearly says the sith have not been seen for a millennia…so why make him the character at the end of this episode…

So now he either has memory loss or he’s a liar.

 

i love the implications that Ki-Adi-Mundi's presence has in this regard. gives that line in TPM more weight.

don't think it breaks canon if the material specifying when he was born isn't considered canon (if it did, i'd imagine the Story Group would step in), but it definitely is a bit of a stretch for sure if everyone's assumption was that he was much younger.

 

You’re right. The material stating his age was already wiped from canon. I keep forgetting everything pre Disney isn’t canon anymore

 

There are plenty of fan theories about Mundi where "he's a liar" kinda tracks. I just looked it up and you can right now find least a half dozen video essays on YouTube about how Mundi is a piece of shit and emblematic of everything wrong with the Jedi during the prequel era based on how he's been portrayed in the animated series/books/comics/ect. All roads here lead to him likely being central to a Jedi cover-up of the Sith being around and active

 

That would be insane if true. Can never trust those cone-heads.

 

The new episode is far better than the one last week. May favorite thus far.

 

I also think they did a really good job establishing the stranger as a true threat. Like him seeing a wall of Jedi and just walking right on up was pretty sick.

 

Man if Qimir isn't the Sith lord then they must want us to think that as a misdirect, because holy shit it seems so obvious lol

 

my hot take is that if his character isn't (or at least not some sort of lackey), then his role feels completely pointless other than mild comic relief and reassurance of Mae's mission. there's no way he's not involved to some degree, but if he's not the big bad, i'm hoping the revelation isn't so jarring that the reception is "nice fakeout, but what does this character actually do?". and if he is the big bad, they probably could've done a better job seeding that information.

 

I'm also thinking it's almost too obvious and he's just a red herring at this point.

Also didn't realize Mundi was such a shithead

 

Yeah. With Mundi being the one to say that the Sith have been gone for forever, this was absolutely a purposeful choice to further set him up as a dunce.

 

Exactly. There’s gotta be a twist explanation for that coming.

 

Also Vernestra said that she thought Mae was being trained by a Jedi. So I bet they actually think at this point that they did end the Sith.
And now Mundi is gonna deny that there’s a Sith around when they put 2 and 2 together.

 

Jesus I hope so, because if not it just kind of comes off like really bad writing..

 

In Star Wars? You're kidding.

 

see, that's why i'm ultimately hopeful for Mae's storyline, because the whole idea that the apprentice has to overthrow the master with another apprentice in tow hasn't been explored in this show yet, and Leslye Headland said it's one of the cruxes of the show. it would be interesting to see if Mae's assigned mission is preparing her for her master trying to overthrow his own master, and it would be even cooler for her arc if she went a step further and tried to ascend in the ranks beyond him (i.e. her potential ulterior motive)

 

Reddit is shitting their pants over Ki Adi Mundi and crying. WHO gives a shit.

cool episode, way too short and whack ending

 

This explains why he cared so much about the drone attack on the Wookiees

 

I dunno why. I actually think him being there sets up some cool interesting stuff.

 

Star Wars fans love to hate Star Wars.
