Also disagree with Sol reading creepy. Dude just senses something wrong/power in the twins.

 

I can see how it can look creepy. A grown man feeling that a child is meant to train under him. But I think we have seen enough force users have similar feelings about how things should happen that we can take it as simple as that the force is nudging him in that way. I don’t think we are meant to view Sol as being creepy in that way. We are seen where he makes poor decisions because of that nudging, but I don’t believe his intentions are anything but pure.

 

The root cause of everything Sol does is fear. Not a great way for a Jedi to operate. It's why he killed Aniseya. It's why he said they had to take the girls. It's why he decided to go on with Torbin instead of taking him back to the camp in this episode.

 

I was caught off guard that stabbing a smoke witch actually killed her. Thought it would have gone through her, since she was, you know, smoke.

 

Perhaps the smoke effects we have seen are merely an illusion?

 

i liked sol in episode 1 and 2 but now I need him to die

 

It is telling for me that the only character I actually like and care about is Qimir lol

 

Justice for Kelnacca

 

Jecki died too soon

 

it just means that you have exquisite taste

 

Again would like to point out the David Harwood still has not appeared in this show yet and we have one episode left....

 

I was thinking sol might be the bad guy but turns out he’s just a moron ?

 

im starting to think he just got cut since it was never officially confirmed he was in it or he's plageuis in which reveal it earlier

 

Was his casting ever official? Can’t find anything on that.

 

I think now is a good opportunity to restart the Plageuis book

 

Nah. If they go that route, the book itself doesn’t become canon suddenly. They may use aspects of it, or they may just use the character as they have largely done with Thrawn.

 

…I just liked it when I started it and want to finish it Greg lol

 

Oh. I thought you said it as if we should all reread it. But I guess I didn’t pay full attention to the wording and took it as more reread. But yea, that’s not what you said. My b.

 

Lol no worries. I started it a while ago and have just been thinking a lot about that character so figure now is a good time to dive back in.

 

So the finale is apparently 43 minutes? Doesn't seem like enough time to properly wrap this up.

 

not much i can say that hasn't already been said about this one. it was fine, but wow they need to wrap it up. if this was set up to truly be a multi-season story, i'd probably be fine with the pacing here, but Leslye has said they're mostly gonna have everything answered by the end of the season. given that a second season isn't guaranteed, even if they answer everything in the next episode, it still doesn't bode well for how the other episodes have been structured.

re: Sol, i initially read his desire to train Osha as some sore of implicit self-fulfillment since he was talking about not having a Padawan at the beginning of the episode, but i also can understand his desire to train her as he senses it might be a net positive.

i ultimately liked the conflicting motivations between the four Jedi, but i found Torbin's desire to rescue the twins as a means to go back to Courscant just kind of meh. i get that it's supposed to be fitting for his character given that he's a Padawan and is supposed to be naive, but trying to rescue two children by yourself against a coven of 50 should at least give you a little bit of pause.
the action in this was great, although i wish Carrie-Anne Moss got to fight in this one as well. she was by far the highlight of the episode.

definitely want to know about the smoke thing with the witches. i'm assumption Aniseya was trying to help Mae in the moment and whisk her away from the danger? would also love to know more about that machinery as well.

idk. i want this to work, and it seems like this was trying to set up big stuff with implications for future Star Wars projects, but i just don't know how all of that can be resolved in 43 minutes without feeling rushed or anticlimactic.

 

I would much prefer them just using ”midichlorian” over “m-count”

 

I would care if they just said it, but it’s also funny if it’s the word that must not be said.

 

Even though it’s not canon anymore, the Darth Plagieus novel is a top tier SW book. If you like the Sith, it’s a must read and still totally worth your time.

 

not sure how I feel about the first 10 minutes of this episode mostly being scenes we've already seen despite how short these episodes have been and with only 2 left
