Spoilers The Acolyte

[Orac]

Wait.. Basil wasn't the same race as the rodent played by a little person from the cantina scene in Star Wars but comes from a comic book? Is the rodent played by a little person still in Star Wars or was she replaced with something else like the wolf man was in 1997?

 

[Ithekro]

Basil is from a race introduced in one of the Han Solo novels ("Han Solo's Revenge") in 1979. A Tynnan.

Not a comic, it's from one of the Brian Daley books from 1979. Aside from 'Splinter of the Minds Eye' and a handful of comic strips, it's about as deep of a deep cut you can get when it comes to EU material. Nothing to do with the Special Edition changes, or even Lucas at all for that matter. And if you can't tell the difference between either this; which is a straight-up pointed nose and all rat halloween mask, and Bazil; who looks like half-way between an otter or a beaver, then I really don't know that to tell you except perhaps to get your eyes checked?

You could also benefit by going easy on the throwing around of the pejoratives, there's a good chap.

Mae I’m pretty sure is also taking her master’s request too seriously. He’s being metaphorical, he doesn’t want her to kill a Jedi literally. Remember what he says at the end of episode 1, kill the dream.

Wow, you're really worried about being offensive are you.

 

[Orac]

Sorry, you got me; I'm a bigot.

My sincere apologies to all who suffered the indignity of being offended by my insensitive use of the English language to belittle and demean them.

I shall henceforth be a pariah amongst the denizens of the trekbbs. Known not as Orac, but as Orac the big ol' bigot: User of inappropriate words who is disrespectful of others identities.

I've edited my post in at attempt to preclude all potentially offensive language.

No longer shall I fill this thread with my vile hate.

Au revoir.

 

[Reverend]

How ever shall we recover from such a tragic loss of eloquent insight? Truly, we are all diminished by the absence.

 

[Jedman67]

I think the show wants us to believe Qimir is Darth Teeth, but I think it's a little too convenient. I rather suspect we"ll find Qimir still roped up or disposed of.

Another possibility is that Kelnaca faked his own death to lure Teeth and Mae into a standoff. I find this unlikely, but entertaining to consider

 

[comsol]

One question I have is if Mae didn't know that Osha was alive before the confrontation on Olega in the second episode, who or what was behind Osha's vision on Carlac in the previous episode?

 

[Ithekro]

One wonders if it isn't Osha that is the unstable one. Did they go into why she left the Jedi Order?

Good question. Memories? The Dark Side? Osha and Mae being connected through the Force without realizing it?

I don't think she was very good at it, but that probably stemmed from being "almost" too old when she signed up. However before the clone wars, I suspect that 90 percent of the Jedi never had to use their light sabres in a fight.

 

[137th Gebirg]

Possibly true. They seemed more like fussy police people with puffed-up chests and endless bluster than philosophical warrior monks back in those days. I've been generally very disappointed at how they've been depicted. Maybe it's intentional, to show how lax and self-absorbed they've become as an institution, but their Padawans seem to have better sense and situational awareness than those who have been granted the rank of "Knight". Jecki, for example, seems the only one who's actually capable and possesses more than a half-a-clue than anyone else, whereas Yord is a freakin' imbicile.

I want some Jedi based on Knights Templar. People saw those dudes coming, they walked the other way.

 

[fireproof78]

Probably have to go back another century or so when being a Jedi meant more.

In Three Weeks ‘The Acolyte’ Has More Audience Reviews Than Three Seasons Of ‘The Mandalorian’

You may not like The Acolyte, but don’t look me in the eye and tell me it’s not being review bombed to hell and back.

www.forbes.com

The show has more reviews after three episodes than three seasons of the Mandalorian.

 

[Captrek]

Let's hold off on judgement. Sidious killed multiple Jedi in seconds. We haven't seen that yet from the new guy.

How about now?

 

[Tuskin38]

Oh neat, he had cortosis armour.

 

[The Wormhole]

The rather obvious revelation is balanced by so many unexpected deaths of main characters this week.

Spoiler: concerning the ending

Although, assuming Mae really has switched places with Osha, which seems to be the case, wouldn't a Jedi sense through the Force to tell which identical twin is which?

 

[cooleddie74]

Maybe not, since even Yoda couldn't sense that Palpatine had a sinister, darker side he was hiding much less being a Sith Lord until well over a decade after he took office as Supreme Chancellor. Jedi psychic abilities can be notoriously imperfect.

 

[Captrek]

What was with Sol screaming as he fought Qimir? Seems un-Jedi-like. Was he channeling the dark side?
