Critical Analysis of a Star Wars Episode

welcome back to the watch and uh I think we just enjoyed what might be one of the dumbest pieces of Television I've ever seen tyen yep no it's not a joke this was unbelievably bad in terms of the writing I've never thought that like just to sum it up every scene contradicts the last scene the characters contradict themselves in the same sentence it's crazy some of the most stupid things I've ever seen like so dumb I have trouble believing a person could be so elogical and devoid of common sense to write this slop like the most basic normal person who would look at so many things that happen would just think that doesn't make sense that this is all this is all [ __ ] like it is so bad I see something dumb while watching it and I'm I get like what the hell is that I'm about to get angry and then I'm get then I get hit by something else that's stupid and I I'm trying to recover from that and as I'm starting to try and comprehend that and I'm starting to get angry from that I'm like what that then I'm get hit with another thing I'm getting beaten down by the strippet to the point where like I'm almost Beyond feeling I'm almost numb from it all I can't believe this is where we're at one thing that I do want to say without a spoiler is that this is the worst depiction of Jedi I have ever seen in any sort of Star Wars media yeah they are not Jedi every single one of them is hyper emotional hyper like scared of things terrified of things do not act like Jedi in any sort of sense of the word at all and the problem is this is a Jedi episode it's all about the Jedi you see the problem there even the opening setup it turns out they were on the planet surveying things looking for the cause for why this planet has lots of life and I'm like I that's not a job for the Jedi don't they have like assistance and stuff to do like the Jedi are supposed to be peacekeepers and stuff why are they doing grunt work soil samples and it's like oh because they're searching for a virgin in the force and it's like oh yeah so you are just doing the whole this is Anakin before Anakin so therefore the chosen one means nothing great great job great job and and like there was actual reason to explain the virgin that created Anakin if you go into the EU about um uh was it plag and cidus trying to create Force sensitive being clone thing that they could inhabit or whatever and the force created and again to balance it out that is yes that's and I think that's a really good logical thing why did this happen because a bunch of lesbians wanted to just like that's what that's where this show goes and that's what basically what it does there's no reason or explanation for this and we will be going into the the you know breakdown Point by Point all all spoilers and stuff I I'm I'm still in awe I'm I'm recovering from the stupid in this and this is the flashback Episode by the way where the mystery is revealed so there's one more episode left one more episode left thank thank thank God there's one more episode left and this was an entire flashback episode and keep in mind if we actually just look at step back look at episodes one to whatever the hell we're up to not much has happened in the actual story barely anything and now this was an entire nothing episode like like they do do the refl flashback from a different perspective or point of view but let me put it this way does any of this flashback change the context of the story basically no like what did Jedi say at the end is that may started a fire and everyone died which is what happened is true that's exactly what happened like this show is trying to build itself up they literally promote it the sh us everything this is a mystery an intriguing mystery what really happened and this is the answer are you kidding me it's unbel like I had low expectations but holy crap like like we were kind of talking about it beforehand and I was thinking um all right I need to think of the dumbest you know choice that they would make for the story and they even went further than that I am constantly put in shock and a and surprised by how stupid they choose to be in the writing okay like we were trying to say okay uh something that what they could do right and and this was like some of the most bare minimum like low standards I was giving them that was like it'll probably be from OSHA's perspective sorry from May's perspective this time and oan could have been brainwashed to see may actually do the bad thing and and may actually wasn't doing that right no no it is May doing it but but keep in mind even if that was true that still doesn't change the context because the evil twins still went around and killed Jedi Masters making her a bad person so like you see what I mean by this that changes nothing and what we've seen changes nothing oh I mean it makes it worse actually cuz it's oh I I mean that we were expecting that the Jedi need would need to have killed everyone and and this was supposed to give May the motivation for wanting to be a psycho Mass murdering nutcase to kill I mean they kind of like it's so this the problem they're all dumb it it was legitimate self-defense now and the way that they all died is comically [ __ ] is crazy unbelievable right and they tried to paint the Jedi have done this unforgivable crime like I literally said I was going to be two extremes they're either going to ruin the Jedi by making do something so ridiculously evil that's unforgivable and they rule the Jedi or it'll be a nothing burger that no one should really take offense from I wasn't expecting it to be this much of a nothing Burger not only that they actually portray it that the Jedi are justified in what they're doing and will break it out it's unbelievable yes the the Jedi are justified in defending themselves how they get to the point of to defend them ex they're all [ __ ] like all it took for them to deescalate things and not to do it is just say we don't want you to take daughter and the Jedi would have said okay but they're so freaking stupid that they're like our daughter wants to do something that the parents disagree with but we have to respect the decision of a child but it's not in it's how we get to that point they go oh these are magical space Twins and then the Padawan goes right that's it guys I'm going to go kidnap the children like that's the progression of that scene and you're sitting there like hold on a second and then what's his name Soul goes wait Padawan you're not let to go and then the next scene he's like help me scale these walls and it's like what like it's like it's been written by someone who has split personality and forgets the previous scene or something like that that's why I said at the start like every scene contradicts the last scene of what their the character motivations are and you're just confused by the decisions people are making here it's like it's like a human should not have been able to write this so bad if they just understand cause and effect just basic logic reality it's Bonkers all right basically this is zero out of 10 this is a negative out of 10 this is not even on a scale of like this shouldn't be on television it's anti-art it is an insult to human intelligence okay so with that out of the way let's get into spoilers let's let's get into spoilers so by the way by the way uh uh Tyrant um you know like you come to work you got to work for a certain certain amount of hours and sometimes work sucks and you and you don't want to be at work and you think about like I don't want to be here if only I could go home right right if someone came to you and said hey by the way like you really want to go home don't you what if I let you go home now instead of later would that you like would that make me kill you yeah yeah would would that Temptation enough oh I could kill shad and just go home exactly no I was cuz I was sitting there thinking about the whole episode I'm like I've been homesick before and I've been really homesick but never to the point where I'm like I'm just going to kill everybody around me I'm going to turn evil cuz I want to go home like you would entertain Temptation from the most evil entity imaginable especially in a situation where you're surrounded by enemy combatants and you're in like you're in danger and the one of those people who's the danger goes you want to go home don't you you know you want to submit to me you want to kneel and you're like yeah I want to go home it's the character motivation for that Padawan ridiculous like I can we convey how stupid this is cuz that is the Crux Temptation that causes him to uh to want to kidnap children to submitting to the evil dark witches and literally disobeying his Masters and the Jedi way and everything all because he wants to go home to Kuran and he can go home anyway once the mission is done it's it's just it's not like he's barred from it he's just going home a little bit early it's crazy I'm I'm speechless by how dumb this is and then he thinks like that he needs to kidnap the child for proof of the virgins to complete the mission to go home when he already has the proof in the blood sample that's why they know it's a virgin yeah it's so [ __ ] holy crap cuz I could not think of a more out ofpl character motivation than that like you're in you're in you're in some unknown world you're surrounded by evil witches in the night you know they've all got their weapons and you're just sitting there like I really want to go home guys it's like okay sure but it's persistent throughout the episode all the decisions he makes is all hinges upon that I know and and it's not like his froto trapped in Mordor that he never see the Shire again he knows he will go be able to go home once they complete the mission they're literally on a nice green Lush Planet camping and the witch comes to it and says like the Jedi aren't letting you go home aren't the Jedi mean you I'll let you go home and then she's like go on ask me you know ask me and he doesn't even ask her he just says a statement he says I want to go home and she goes all right that's magic word I now control you and it's like hang on he didn't even do what you asked I know what I'm talking about and the thing is he actually entertains the Temptation is like yeah want to go you could help me get home it's like does this guy have a brain everything is [ __ ] I can't cop I and remember that's the Crux temptation that the events to and think about the comparon about beinged to the side Anakin loves a woman to save his child his wife you know wants to save everybody he has a vision of her dying and so he is obsessed with the fact that she is going to die in pain and he thinks that the dark side is the only way to save the love of his life and his child is a kid that wants to go home kid that wants to go home this it's just like yeah like I I'm I I can't I don't I don't like how but my brain is broken from this it's like what is and they unironically are pushing this forward as this remarkably written show with this great mystery no no no anyway should we go through yeah okay so the show opens up with the Jedi are being grunt like survey workers and not only just one Jedi I think this is like a job to to menial for even a Jedi Peacekeeper that you know has important stuff to do they got three and a Padawan well the okay the context is there are different cor Corps of the Jedi there are like ones that go do healing and medical work there aren't all fighters okay okay so like would a Jedi do this yeah okay they would probably send a survey team but it would have to be like Something's Happened Here we really know Something's Happened Here not like maybe something I know all they know is that this planet was baring 100 years ago it's really Lush now and it's like well that's actually pretty you know that's not out of the ORD it can be explained by any number of things but they're like no virgins in the force and virgins in the force so important four three and a half Jedi sent go and spend 7 weeks on the planet finding nothing yeah I like pause and just process this when I heard 7 weeks I was like what like they did show The Witches you know base on top of a mountain y right out in the open I'm okay with this because worlds are big surely they got scann as that can scan for buildings I would assume this as well because it's uh high technology but at the same time I'm not going to begrudge them for not know it cuz if they're doing the whole planet which is ridiculous we know they can scan for life forms and if they can detect a small group clumped together of life forms like Luke is doing that when he gets to um is it deab and he's like heaps of life forms when they scanning the planet and it seems like you can also scan for like animal life WS like they should have found this on the first day they arrived it's it's unforgivable and it's literally on top of a mountain out in the open not that far away from the camp yep seven weeks it's it's just like wow this episode is starting great like we can tell the Intelligence on display here oh my gosh and then of course they dro the um the Virgin right and the hilarious thing is Padawan working 7 weeks okay for that whole seven weeks he doesn't know why they're there they're only telling him now why they are looking and what annoys me more is like a good teacher just in a general sense understands the struggles of like their their pupils right and they're like this kid can't get his emotions right it's like he's been out there for 7 weeks and he's bored don't get me wrong like he didn't even do anything cuz they're sitting by the campfire and he's like we found nothing I'm kind of bored and she's like keep your emotions under control right I'm just sitting there like I mean I can see where you're coming from but I'm also from multiple angles he's on a pleasant camping trip on this nice idealic Planet sure but kids always don't appreciate that which is fine but like I have I have no problem with him being like I want to go home I'm bored I have an issue with like her being like Oh you're unreasonable for this and it's like bro he's a kid He does care well see I'm actually kind of on her side because he's supposed to be a Jedi or training to be a Jedi that has been like shouldn't he understand that from a young age yeah there's going to be some monotonous tasks you have to do as a Jedi if you can't hack that why the hell are you even training you know not all PES become Jedi right like some are just not Jedi material which all of these people aren't by the way yeah none of them I should add ah but anyway so yeah it's an Anakin ripoff The Virgins in the force thing has happened and they just bastardizing the law of what this really means what it can do H and they're making up nonsense to shoehorn and force their story in and we'll get to the whole um we needs to have been a great power to split one mind into two and that can only be done with the Virgin and all that it's all just nonsense arbitrary slop word salad to spew out pseudo bull crap to justify something dumb a plot device that is dumb um okay okay so Saul he decides to just ride off randomly somewhere and he comes across the girls he was told he was told to go to the west side or the oh yeah the place the place they hadn't checked yet which is I mean it doesn't take like you could get in the ship do some quick like surveying areas like flying over vast swaths that's also something that I found funny is that they're outside camping and they have like a caravan out there when they have a ship I'm so I was confused by that yeah that is something so he just stumbles a pot into girls um and that's when they're doing the whole outside butf creepy soul is creepy mhm he just happens upon these little girls and then he's like obsessed throughout the whole show I it's weird when I think about it he does feel like she is going to be his Padawan and he knows that for some reason but that's weird mhm though the fact that they are concerned for children being raised by a cult of now confirmed Dark Side users they are dark side users she literally says like give into your passions kind of thing to the guy right and the whole taking over someone's Consciousness against their will yeah this is all dark side Stu they didn't know any of that before they got there uh not until after the first meeting I agree um and so yeah soul then he he follows him because my actual thing about once they can confirm that these witches are dark side users that's a problem okay their actions you know following on even though they're contradicting the setup to it some of their actions are fully Justified and they're trying to betray it as the Jedi doing something really wrong and bad like what uh like defending themselves when the witches are ready to unleash a dark side smoke demon on them so the problem is they broke in someone my house like this is why it's so complicated because there's so many all of it is wrong on both sides the the setups are wrong first off the Jedi don't steal children they do do tests they're not mandatory or anything and that was a contradiction in the line that they said they it's the same line that they had in like episode three where it's like we have a right to test children with your permission of course like well that's not a right then there's contradictions like that everywhere but but that sets up something important that means the witches could just simply say no to the Jedi and the Jedi would leave exactly all this conflict is nonsense exactly so we have the issue of them portraying the Jedi as like well we kind of just want to take the children so we're going to take them anyway and we're Justified cuz we're good it's like well that's not really what the Jedi did then we have the issue of yeah they're Dark Side users but then it becomes a bit more of a moral quander where it's like well what right do you have to take someone else's child away and then if they are under abuse yeah sure you can there's clearly a line that's what I mean we're kind of in this weird give and take but the problem is even if there's proof of that which they don't really have they just are so convinced that they're going to take those children I mean Saul does see the girls being pre sorry he doesn't see them in the ritual but he sees them preparing for a ritual and he over hears and everything and the issue with this is you're in a galaxy filled with thousands of different cultures that have thousands of different rituals yeah there not who are you to decide what's right or wrong I mean if it was just a ritual I agree with you but if it's a dark side ritual I'm actually kind of starting to lean towards the Jedi they actually actually have a bit of right to police who's using the force or not because of the dark side as soon as you start using the force it means you're open to the Temptation Of the Dark Side the Jedi proven that they can for the large majority resist and responsible Force users but if they hear that there's a coven of witches using the force that are raising children in them and it's like okay they're using the force the first question I'd have light side or dark side if these people are dark side and then I'm seeing weird rituals going on and stuff like that I'll be like okay this is giving me bad vibes the problem is by what right yeah we're not at the right yet I think what's confirmed when the um witch overtakes the young Padawan guy that's a dark force ability I would say first off I would say that's an act of aggression exactly that's that's different what I'm saying is by what right do the Jedi have to enforce their beliefs on other people with Force Powers light or dark well this is actually one of the more complex discussions then about because the Pres of the dark side gives them some measure of policing Authority out the problem is the thing the isues is all of the dark side uh let's say emotions are all natural emotions so by what right do you say well my emotions better than yours and which is also a weird contradiction because all the Jedi are hyper emotional so like we're getting into a bit of more philosophical overarching style but it underpins the possible reasons for the character's actions which is why it needs it's worth discussing sure yet having said all that it's contextualized by the Jedi simply saying with your permission which is establishes all the witches need to do is say no yet they have this [ __ ] standard that our child can choose to leave her home and become a Jedi and we need to respect their decisions like hang on no no parents make those decisions for children CU children aren't old enough to actually weigh up all the pros and cons to look out themselves and all that stuff but and so it's this interesting standard that they have that if a child chooses their life path even before they're of age we need to respect it and gee I wonder where they're getting that kind of practice and belief from the problem we have with this is that Anakin in like The Phantom Menace when he chooses is because he's a slave so he's getting freed from slavery and his mother realiz his mother wants that to happen she's like yeah and first off you're going to go to cor like being a Jedi wasn't a bad thing as well so if a child chooses to be a Jedi most parents in the Galaxy are kind of like this is hard they're going to leave I'm not going to have my child anymore but at the same time they're going to go off to be turned into Jedi Knights and protect people so most people are kind of okay with it but there are obviously people out there are like I'm good you yeah and they show it the Jedi are seeking consent uh to do this but this is the problem is they they depict Soul as no matter what those witches say he's going to take those children that's the issue I have and so I think where I'm falling on this is that um his desire to take the the children without first knowing if there is abuse or dark side you know um brain washing going on feels way over the line uh but once they establish their dark force users and it's an evil witch of you know coven of witch and stuff like that I'm I was like okay that's a concern they literally want there's a line where they say that they are going to uh uh sacrifice a girl to her Destiny to lead their coven and that's a that's a freaking red flag it was in the um testing scene and we'll get to that but anyway Saul he goes he sees the the um cult rituals going on and the girl's there he reports back and is saying he he is too obsessed with the girls cuz I think the the primary concern is we have a cult of force users that very well might be dark force users uh we are researching a virgins in the force and we find these group of people that's a freaking red flag like yeah you would want to find out what's going on but then they're like we need to take the children now or whatever and they decide to just walk in and say how how's you going yeah well they break in but yeah yeah they break in yeah yeah yeah um they they hack the thing and go up there which personally as a someone who believes in self-defense if you break into my house you know all bets all so I'm there's I'm okay with this is the problem when I say both sides are like the setups here are wrong it's it's it's awful and would the Jedi actually break in like if they say that they need permission to do all this but we have a right to test with your permission wouldn't they just knock on the door and yeah that's what I mean is if they're not there for threatening they're not there to do anything why did they break in and because they said they did knock but no one answered right knock loud or wait for someone to come out did they knock I didn't think they knocked at all I think Soul knocked when he first tried to go in and no he went in and he went beep oh it's not opening oh better sneak in so they might not have even knocked and so then they're replaying the scene where there first confronting the witches but now we see what's going on with the Padawan boy whatever guy who who kills himself and he's actually being tempted and this is where I would have full confirmation that okay these witches are a dark side uses and then the Temptation is insane this is the whole stupid where you want to go home I can help you go home sooner sorry it's just I would love to have that scene edited with someone with like a Snickers bar like would you entertain the very thing you've been trained for years to not even you know want some candy but but you know just just pay attention to your emotions and your feelings indulge in them for like a sneers you you want a sneers don't you but it's that done but it's this time it's like you want to go home yeah it's ridiculous it's so stupid and then he does say like I want to go home and he he gets mind raped right like his mind gets overtaken and that's the whole where you do not go thing is though that's a pretty dark forci ability and the Jedi okay yeah they they broke in they're not whipping out their swords or anything like that um and so that that's an that's an act of escalation it is I would agree with that at the same time it's one of those things where it is a bit weird to have Jedi show up and be like we want to see your children yeah it is weird oh yeah I'd be like hang on a minute what do you want your child wants to uh pursue you know a future that she has identified with and if you disagree with that uh we with the power of the state will come and take it's very much like break they like we're not here to attack you we just want to see your daughters and I'm like okay hold on a second it's it's sus yeah um but anyway that that scene concludes the exact it was before where OSHA's like I want to be tested and the witches are just like well we just we have to respect the child's you know choices in this one thing I will add is that the the mother witch did seem reasonable cuz she she took over his mind and then she said you can have him back just go away which is reasonable okay yeah granted that would still be like as a Jedi dark for Ability is a problem but at the same time she's not attacking me she's telling me to go away which is fair so I I lost I I I I couldn't believe that um the guy was tempted by it and actually entertaining it there's the whole L your right to test um so they get back and soul is like they marked the you know the girl with dark magic and I'm like don't you mean the force would like yeah this is the problem with this is It's I like I'm supposed it's supposed to be the force cuz the the daughters use the force but the abilities that they use is just straight up magic yeah it's it's nonsense arbitrary pull out of your butt whatever you want it to do before anybody brings up like the night sisters the night sisters also just used random magic like this is a this is an issue the force used to have very uh limited applications which is basically telepathy and telekinesis in limited ways there's also lightning there's also like lightning was the only big introduction because it was like you know a dark for I'm talking about the original trilogy right origal Trilogy okay yeah yeah I know that's what I mean and that made sense for like you know um a particularly bad enemy I know that people are going to bring it up like Palpatine had other abilities to influence battles and all this sort of stuff yes yes fine but we're talking about like now it's healing mind control well now it's more like it went from a invisible ability to like just magic smoke like Scarlet witch in Marvel like they've changed it a lot I mean they had teleport you can teleport objects uh in the sequels and we're we're a it's just now whatever magic you know the force will be able to do anything and you just justify with magic now it's nonsense you can fly through space like mared poppin um and so I would be thinking like you know the the biggest concern they would have is like these are dark side users what are we going to do about a coven of dark side users that are you know um brainwashing children into their cult in I reckon that would be on their mind the problem with that is there wasn't a lot of children there was only two and it was their children yeah yeah so it's not as if they're going out and recruiting it seems it just seems like it's their children so there is a different scene where they show them trying to test May and may says that uh that her you know cult told her her mother told her that everyone must be sacrificed to fulfill their Destiny and their purpose is to to lead the Covenant mhm and I was just like hang on un ironically children to lead the coven and then yeah that line you must be sacrificed to fulfill your destiny again that's like that gives you Vibes of the dark side and I know that there's like Destiny on the light side and you know and embrace it and stuff but Vader was using that you know come to the dark side it is your destiny to join me type of stuff like yeah I I would feel like as a Jedi in this situation i' have enough evidence to say they're Dark Side users that doesn't seem more Dark Side to me that seems seems more like just communism like the individual needs to be sacrificed to the for the good of the collective uh which is also about equivalently evil so I'd also have red flags with that um then they send off a uh a this one is is amazing this annoyed me so much they actually send a message to the council now so the ji Council are fully aware Cult of dark side witches brainwashing children potentially sacrific stuff like that and the council's response was uh don't interfere you've already interfered too much well they say more than that they cuz first off the motivations of the little Padawan is like oh we can we go home guys is it time to go home and they go the council's upset they've said we've already interfered too much but we still have to stay here like what that that's literally a contradiction within itself yeah I like and there's layers because I I just have an issue with the council saying yeah they'll be fine leave him alone and it's like what you freaking kidding me no freaking way the Jedi would just leave a like their purpose is to partially police the Force and and pay attention for any Dark Side corruption no no cuz keep in mind this is the other thing if you're too old you can't take the trials and and that was like they did say she's too old anyway too old so that's why they they were kind of like yeah no we don't need that charge it's too old it's too late blah blah blah but then that's when Soul does the creepy kind of like we have to save them we have to go and get them no matter what and and then they decided to say they were told to stay on the planet and you're just wondering hang on hang on what okay and and I'm still got the questions like are they they even sus because they're not showing any concern that these witches are probably Dark Side users it doesn't even get mentioned the dark side in this episode even though they're literally taking over people's minds against will their eyes going black and they got this weird really dark vibe to them uh not doesn't even mention and then there's a line like do not alter this little girl's Destiny because of your feelings again the Jedi being way too emotional way too emotional uh and and so they finally get the uh the blood test back this scene is the logic here is it's all it's all nonsense it's I made up piece of bull crap with made up piece of bull crap to justify that and and so have you ever heard of a symbiance not a symbiosis but says the M count which they're talking about medore count which is standard I don't know but then they say the Sim something is exactly identical and then they do the oh identical and it's like they're trying to say DNA but no but they would have the same DNA being Twins and so they make up this new word which is some type of force detecting thing that I guess force users have a force ID uh DNA marker which is called symbiance it's basically that the conscience was once a one person theyve just split it into like it is such a uh defined understood thing that it is literally impossible for two people to have the same symbiance whatever that is in fact the only way two people could have the same symbiance is literally if their Consciousness was split into two yeah that's how which implies that it's one of a kind type thing yeah right but that's how like rock solid a symbiance is whatever the hell it is well keep in mind the Padawan knew this and all the other Jedi were just like yep makes sense Y and so then they extrapolate from this understanding that the fact that these two girls have the same Symbian they must have then cuz clearly this is just where the logic points right they must have their single Consciousness having split into two which would have required such great power only a virgin in the force could have achieved it and I'm just like you're just making up bull crap now it's just bull crap to justify whatever you want at this point yep and I'm not saying you can't make up worldbuilding elements to justify where you want in the plot but you usually have it underpinning by a vein of logic and reason to it that's also understood in place they're just injecting making up bull crap right in the very moment oh a symbiance can't be split into two H force and like a virgin right has that been defined in the EU anymore than like what Quon said I believe this is a vergence in the force and is like cuz in the context of the prequels that just sounded like a rare strange odity like does it matter anymore this is the thing that I come back to is like Canon means nothing anymore to anybody cuz everybody out there in the comments I bet you there's a whole bunch of comments like my head Cannon is this it's like great if your head cannons out it's great but what's the actual Cannon the actual Cannon is book of boba it's Kenobi it's the acolyte it's just whatever at this point so this is where we reach something comically dumb oh this is because this scene was like a special kind of bad so they've established that a symbiance is so rock solid that the only way it could have happened was conscious splitting into two great power needed virgins and the force the only explanation is a virgin in the force right then uh Padawan homeboy whatever he his name is he says that's it all we need and I'm paraphrasing but he Fally says all we need now is proof and we can go home Y and he said and he like we we have to get the girls to get the proof and I'm like hang on don't you already have the proof the DNA proves the the the uh Symbian which then proves The Virgins or you have the you have the de job completed but he's like no we have to get the girls to go home keep in mind he so first off he goes that's it I'm going to I'm going to kidnap those girls he goes and gets on his speeder surrounded by three Jedi Masters who don't try to stop him except for soul who says like who screams at is him like wait like you're not allowed to go that was the vibe right he then leaves and then in the next very next scene him and soul are both at the witch castle and Soul's like all right let's go help me get the girl Let's help help me break in this is what I mean by like the motivations from scene to scene don't even match up with what's happening it's insane and then it's like you know we have to protect the girls or something like that now and completely flipped but the very Catalyst of them needing to do it is contradicted by them introducing this world building thing showing that they already have the proof they need but they can't even pay attention to that and the cont like no we have to get the girls and it's insane where like hang on hang on you now are willing to kidnap girls from their home to get proof of a virgins when before it was we need to protect the girls from this Evil dark cult well even more than that think of like this the motivation for that padle one is just to go home right okay so if you go kidnap children I you're going to get kicked out of the order you're not a Jed you're not worthy is he that [ __ ] so why is he going to kidnap the children just so he can go home if you're willing to go that far just leave the order and go home dude like legit people Defenders trying and say his his brain has been addled by The Witches so he not thinking straight and it's like come on you don't have like he gave into the witches cuz he wanted to go home this was a this is the problem like like if he was so desperate to break protocol and Jedi rules to go home you know what he could do what hop in the ship and go home yeah he doesn't need a k like if he that if he's been tempted that much by the witches that is willing to do something [ __ ] to go home the ship is right there like give to the dark side you know or you know kidnapped children yeah it is this is what I mean by the motivations are so crazy for these characters it doesn't but for some reason he is just obsessed with the fact that he needs to kidnap the girls to go home now but this and think of it like Soul Soul's motivation for this like he's willing to he's willing to break the code kill an unarmed combatant break into somebody's house go against all of what the other Masters are saying and the council to kidnap children he's also not worthy of being a Jedi you see what I'm saying it's nuts it is just [ __ ] nonsense here okay and so again the the paraan motivations right like if he had any brains he would already realize yeah I've already got the evidence or we don't need to kid out the girls like there's a multiple ways to go home he doesn't need to be that this stupid but because the writers seem to be that dumb this is what they do and so there you go that's his ticket home that's literally what he says and I'm just watching he like are you [ __ ] what is going on oh and then so so right o uh May is like angry that oer is going to join the Jedi and and the horn mother comes in and says good girl get angry and then she's like letting she she is wanting OSHA sorry May to go nuts to stop OSHA leaving and it's like you're the mom all you need to do is say no yeah the Jedi said they need your permission just tell her no but instead she's going to RI up her psycho daughter to do something crazy to stop oan from going because it's that important for to stop oan from going she'll resort to that yet she can't realize and just think I could just say no and stop her from going it's so stupid and so that's what sets like May off and may you know is like I'm go to you know and so the whole she may goes and they're they're all letting her make the decisions now and decides to trash break the the door exit door and she's like no one can leave now yeah and I and and everyone else is on board with it and I'm like okay so if you broke the front door OSHA can't leave then yeah do you need to do anything else Pro problem a I'm okay with problem soled her being irrational cuz she's a child that that's the thing she's a child that's why they shouldn't lead and be dumb to put her in charge also why they shouldn't make life-altering decisions at you know however all Yes uh and and she does a whole bunch of dumb stuff and I'm like yeah that's that is a child so whatever but all the adults are going but the adults make the same I go Woody Dr decision but if even the child had half a brain she would realize well no one can get out now because I broke the front door uh but then she decides to go to OSHA again and oh wow this is comical um I'm okay with this scene I think it's hilariously dumb oh like the physics of it I think is ridiculous but the actions I can understand cuz I like there are videos on the internet of children doing dumb stuff like that why did she like the book cuz it wasn't it didn't have all the Jedi drawings and crap in it is that what the book was I thought it was just some random like witch book that they had there no I thought it was like her book that symbolized that she wants to go to the Jedi blah blah blah blah I could be wrong I don't care about the show because she's there she grabs the book and intentionally sets it on fire and it really looks like her intent is to light it up but then once it's on fire they trying to play it off like oh I got got to put it out I got to put it out and I she can't and then she drops it I'm okay with that because that happens in real life people do dumb things where they'll go they'll light something on fire and it sets on fire quickly and they go oh I'm so surprised like there are countless videos of idiots I don't think they explained why she set on fire well at all to me it that was the intent where it it really looked like all the way up she setting on fire to burn you know her sister and kill her sister her sister it just looked like she was trying to burn the book and then the book went on fire and she was I know that's what they were trying to S but that's why I mean why I feel it's [ __ ] because everything up to when it lights on fire felt like she was trying to kill her sister still they don't change any of the looks or the interactions like well the issue that I had with it was what happens directly after that where all the concrete and everything just because remember OSHA herd May literally tell say I'm going to kill you they don't contradict that they don't they don't even reshow it but in this episode episode three I think it is May literally says oh I can stop you from leaving by killing you oh I I didn't watch that yeah yeah but that that that's that's will I yeah and so then she she exits locks the door on Osha Osha is now locked in looking in she picks up the book sets it on fire all of that setup is not contradicting in that that episod that's what I mean I still think her intention is to kill her and then the fact that she's like oh no I'm really not trying to kill I'm trying to pull it out is [ __ ] nonsense but in this episode we uh get the true version of events right and in the true version she doesn't say that at all no they skip it they don't even reshow it yeah yeah but which indicates that that still happen in the telling of the other one because they don't contradict it so OSHA was still sorry May was still trying to kill OSHA if they wanted they would have re you know what I'm not cuz like I can think of reasons why but that's me doing J and it doesn't deserve that that charity and that's what I mean like everything in the leadup still shows May trying to kill OSHA and the fact that they're trying to now oh but she really didn't mean it I'm like piss off she said she's going to kill her oh my gosh and so that it continues on um it is not a decision to make but it is ours that's so the parents are discussing right um and yeah they say it's like uh one of the other witches says it isn't her decision to make it is ours and then her resp like no um we must be uh her wishes must be considered I'm like you're the parents no she doesn't she's going to make a a lifechanging decision like joining the Jedi and everything like that that's something that needs parental consent but the parents are like n you know you have to respect what the child wants again wonder where the writers are getting that logic and so I'm going to play Devil's ad advocate here cuz the exact quote is her wish must be considered okay okay which is like fair right but they're not stopping her from doing that's true but if your kid says to you I want some ice cream you can say no but you can go well if they want ice cream I can make the decision but you can take it into consideration but the actual actions show that uh you know she wants to go with the Jedi We Can't Stop her in fact the only way to stop her is for me to get her sister to go crazy yeah that's that's that's her plan to stop the Jedi cuz the the main I don't know the main witch leader she's like yeah I'm going to let her go that's what she wants to do she can go with the Jedi and then the other one's like n I'm going to fight them all you know type thing and by the way uh the concrete does light light on fire just as before this time they're showing a few more electrical Sparks but they are also showing that it is that those electrical Sparks and that fire that causes the reactor to explode yeah I have no idea how how does that work like a little bit of oil from that lamp goes on the floor but like it's still concrete talking about concrete and metal everywhere and we saw in the previous episode it like travels inside the other room and it lights up everything it isn't just from a single electrical panel sparking up yep it is as stupid as before if not more because now that is literally the thing that caused the reactor to blow cuz I thought in the previous episode uh May traveled after setting the door on fire travels to the reactor and rigs the reactor to blow up now they're showing that she didn't do that it was just a chain reaction I'm like holy crap who made the electronics in this building yeah it's crazy that even in even even in real world we have more higher technology if something trips the the circuit breaker goes and everybody's safe this is equivalent of your light bulb going out and causing your house to explode it's just like what is going on holy crap and okay so uh this is the confrontation uh soul and the Padawan climb up through the roof yep and they meet the witches and we can easily track the who is escalating what that Saul is trying to keep things calm well this is the problem no he's not because from his point of view what's happened is the witches had they had their test and then they've gone home then Soul has now broken back in and is now trying to take them again well I from The Witch's perspec from The Witch's perspective yes but the Jedi in their position are ready to deescalate like if they simply say please go away I think Soul would go okay you think Soul would the dude who just climbed a mountain side to save a child is going to be like yeah we can go home and the Padawan who's like I need to kidnap that child to go home you think they would just leave you might have a point it's really cuz the motivations are that's what I mean like because they they clearly say that they need their consent and I feel like if the parents just said no because I think soul is of the mindset OSHA wants to come with us that gives me the right to take her and the parents aren't saying yeah I think he's that mindset and and also in addition and you're not saying no to OSHA which means I have a right to take her if the parents should say yeah OSHA wants to go we're not letting her yeah he like if he then pushed it further that's like illegal everything keep in mind that Padawan has been like ready to to take him by force the whole time oh well the thing is though the the horn witch lady she gets her weapon ready to strike and that's what causes him to whip out his lights sa it was in response to her like get don't get me wrong guys I don't want defend these witch covers but they did break into their house and I am a firm believer in selfdefense so I can't sit here and go yeah the Jedi can just break into their house and take whatever like from The Witches perspective those Jedi have broken in and they're like get out but what if it like again there are a bunch of evil force users that are ready to um perform some wacky W ritual on a child that doesn't want it to happen like does that give I some measure of um legal authority to step in and and stop the cult ritual cuz they know that they know oan doesn't want that to happen to her yeah but do they have any proof of this other than the kids words well I think they're about to receive proof that they are absolute dark force uses and that's when the other mother turns into an evil smoke demon this one is so complicated because I'm of two minds of it I agree she does turn she she disaat whatever it is from Harry Potter you know the thing that bort does like again this is the force now just whatever magic right so she does look all demony and stuff but at the same time she's completely unarmed and soldiers kills her well well I I to me the force is a weapon and that's her using it as a weapon so I don't think she's unarmed but also I I agree with like ma Windu you know he like I think it was in line with the Jedi understanding of stopping bad Force users evil force users right to kill Palpatine even though Palpatine was an AR this the problem is like the core of Jedi is that they they are not the aggressors they are not they don't kill unarmed they don't that's the whole thing it's supposed to be good so on this one I'm I'm I like I don't have a strong stance either way because it doesn't make sense either way well see I I I have more I have a stronger stance because like with Palatine he already showed the aggression by killing several Jedi already and and so mace like yeah he needs to die is an evil but keep in mind this is what happened at the start of Revenge of the Sith when Anakin beats Dooku he's like kill him and he's like he's unarmed and he kills him anyway and he's like I shouldn't have done that that wasn't the Jedi way but no one judges him and says no it was justified cuz he they thought it was In the Heat of battle but I don't think they would have Justified him even if he that's why when we get to the end when Wu has uh Palpatine beat and he's unarmed like he still has Force line and he's still super dangerous but Wu doesn't know this and Anakin doesn't know this this is why he's like you can't kill him he's unarmed he has to stand trial and then W goes to kill him anyway and Anakin just goes see it's complicated there are complications right but even with like Dooku H sorry I mean uh Wu and Palpatine wo was going to supposedly just kill him without Palpatine act doing an additional Act of aggression to trigger it whereas with soul and the witch lady she turns into a smoke demon right next to him and it looks like she's going to kill everyone and so responds by killing her to stop it and I'll be like I'd probably do the same thing but whatever it is it's not them coming in and killing an innocent person to get to steal children it's it's defensible from the Jedi perspective and then the fact that they they want me to think the Jedi just came in and killed everyone they're evil that's not what happens I am fine with this uh in terms of like uh let's say In the Heat of the Moment he doesn't know what's going on and he kills someone unarmed sure the problem is the very next scene where he won't kill the other one who is attacking who was now trying to kill him that's see see the contradictions that's the problem here and and maybe it's the people try to defend us say it's because he regretted killing her and realized it was wrong I'll be like no no no no she turned into an a force demon uh so don't feel bad about that it looked like she was ready to kill you and kill everyone but then he's like now this other lady trying to kill me oh I feel bad for what I just did defending himself and then he's not going to defend himself against the other one but he he doesn't actually need to because she's a hopeless fighter and he just basically gets hit a couple of times shrugs it off Dodges everything else but then then the witches go nuclear with what they want to do next because again the only thing that needs to happen to stop at any point is cuz Soul now doesn't want to fight if the witch just say leave I have a feeling he'd leave yeah I agree with you with that because he shows is now reluctant I I'm ready to deescalate and the witches seeing that the Jedi are wanting to deescalate they decide to mind rape Kil Naka the the w Jedi and get him to come and kill the other Jedi this is also the problem that I see is like what was the whole point of like seducing the Padawan one if you can just magically choose which Jedi you want to take it was like one of those weird they just it was uh what should we say um bran becoming King you know like it's just one of those random things where you're like it makes sense if the the the Jeet the pan is the one with mind controlled and so by the way the the the witch that turned into the smoke demon right what was she thinking there it's a high stress situation right people have the weapons out they're ready to kill each other and she thinks I know what'll deescalate this I'll turn into a scary smoke demon that will stop that like if she was actually trying to stop the conflict that is the dumbest thing to do what happens is that's when the evil twin comes in screaming help me Mommy and stuff like that oh yeah because and so what my reading of what that what she was doing was she was going to she was going to disapparate like Voldemort and just transport somewhere else but then Soul killed her but we actually don't know what she was trying to do cuz we don't know what that did like when they disapparate but it was also doing it to the uh the evil little twin oh I can't remember when she did the magical smoke thing it was making the little one disappear as well was it oh so they probably were teleporting like what the hell is yeah they can just smoke teleport aerate like in Harry holy crap but but so after the smoke demon gets killed um all the witches start attacking right but may has come in and said we need help someone's just actually trying to save ocean now even though she literally said she's trying to kill him before okay it is a child so you know still contradicting flipping on a dime what they're do sure that children can do that I am much more forgiving of a child to go oh I don't want to do this now versus a fully grown adult Jedi Master but here's the thing the witches right they supposed care for these children they now are told that the children's lives are in dangered not only that they're trapped in the base okay and Saul says the girls are trapped we need to go save her and he says that to the witches and the witches think instead of saving the daughters from a base that is in the process of exploding we're not we to screw them let's kill the Jedi and I'm like what yeah what you are actively letting the children you care for die is the supposed mother letting your daughter die for the sake of trying to fight the Jedi now because the Jedi just need to die and I was like I guess they you know dark force users confirmed again cuz that's something what they like but that's their motivation no just kill Jedi in fact all the witches then decide to go onto this mind controlling you know uh cult chant thing and they overtake The Wookie Jedi's brain and The Wookie Jedi attacks and it's a lame fight scene with a Wookie Jedi oh that fight scene was bad yeah because keep in mind the wook Jedi is now being controlled by the evil Sith so he's trying to kill those other ones and there was so many times where he could have killed any of them and he doesn't I understand the hesitation was not trying to kill him that makes sense neither the Padawan was just trying to survive but the jet the wooki was evil now so he was trying to kill them but there was so many he just didn't yeah yeah I it was a crap fight scene and they can't they can't beat him and Sol is getting beat back and then of course Trinity what she's she's the she's the one she comes in pins the wook Jedi and I I I couldn't believe it because all through this I'm thinking all right so we know the Jedi actively killed one of the people I think it was more justified in self-defense cuz it was in response to a very aggressive smoke demon right um and I'm wondering how are all the other uh witches going to die yeah right it's like um is something going to happen where the Jedi are going to for be forced to kill everything because still I'm wondering what is going to motivate May to the point where the Jedi evil need to be killed uh in context like yeah she'll still be upset as my mom got killed but she saw her mom lashing out and that she understands the context of what happened there and I was like so that how are the Jedi going to kill the other witches and how it's done is laughable and it's absurd and as stupid as everything not clear on what actually happened she so the the Jedi Master chick she does like a force Power on the wook the restrained wook on his head basically a Vulcan mind m in Star Wars and all the witches are chanting they're doing their thing and then she frees the wook and they all just die like is ridiculous I I laughed out loud when that happened I she breaks the connection and that apparently kills all the other witches that were mind controlling him Power of One the power of many and then I'm like okay okay there are some things we need to break down with that because either they're dead or they're just knocked out and they got killed in the explosion when it blew up okay don't really know uh it could just be they they all got killed but either them getting killed or being knocked out that was purely at holy a defensive action by the Jedi to free a uh you know the the wook being mind raped and controlled by them right and so I do not blame the Jedi for forcefully breaking a mind control spell on him and if the oh the by practice they all die she didn't know that that would kill him she just wanted to free the the Jedi trying to kill everyone else I'm curious uh how many of the witches survived because all the Archer ones or the bow and arrow ones plus the uh the zabra one they all just they seem to just disappear they teleported so I'm are they out in the woods just safe I think the mother is still alive but this that's giving the writers too much credit where where you think there's a clear obvious Direction where the plot would logically go and unless they make it so painfully obvious that they wonder they can't be that blatant right with like the Ral unless they're that painfully obvious uh they never do what the simple logical thing is and so I can't give any there was no logic in this episode there was it was Bonkers episode possibly one of the worst pieces of Television cuz we're not even done yet something still happens which is bafflingly stupid do do you understand what I mean about like this episode was feeling like getting beaten over the head with a stupid stick where I'm trying to recover by something so dumb it's like guess what another one bang I'm like what is going on I wonder if this is what it's like to have Alzheimer's like every time you have a convers with someone the next conversation is just completely disjointed you don't know what's happening that's kind of what this episode was like oh wow so yeah that's how the witches die self-defense by the Jedi trying to free uh um the wook getting mind raped by them uh so no I I don't blame them and I think this is what supposedly set off May the Jedi so evil and it's like this is pathetic this is like I know they so dumb going up and there is good questions about do they have the right to take the children and stuff not but the escalation of what happens here is hold on those questions that we're talking about those complicated ones have existed in Star Wars for a long time that's not new because of this show those are overarching things they don't get credit for that and I think I by the way any sympathy I have for the witches right with who's right who's wrong died when they had the chance to save the girls and they say basically screw that we want to kill the Jedi by mind controlling this guy getting him to kill anyway especially when you have the ability to teleport they they had the ability to save the girls and they're like stuffen they can die it's like okay yeah it's pretty clear which side you know you should be on at the at this time Jedi completely Justified from there on and that the fact that they needed to kill them all even though they didn't know that was going to kill them to free them and stop them from one killing the every of everyone on their team and two saving the girls which they're still trying to do right the Jedi are fully justified in that and the fact they're trying to vilify him and that what we're doing this is insane and the fact that that's the thing that kills him is comically arbitrary and dumb it's just like okay sure that happened and then they have to kind of break like get free the other Jedi just need to leave cuz the base is about to explode Saul he wants to save the girls and so he then sees the girls but even that scene just before we get to that the the master lady uh she says go save the children and he hesitates he's like he's like she's like go save the children he's like okay it's like wasn't that your whole motivation this whole episode but they can't be consistent with that the writers probably forgot about it right and this is comical I can't but like so so it's the scene where OSHA and may are on this broken two halves of a broken bridge right and the Broken Bridges start to fall and soul big brain Soul right like he's going to save him what he does he stops the bridges from falling but they're so heavy he can barely hold on and he doesn't think hang on I can just force grab the girls who are much lighter and they're both there so I'm going to lift like 20 tons this is really hard guys instead of like 30 kilos each for the little girls with the force it's and it's even worse cuz they have shown him hold a person with the force from falling it was in episode two was it where ooser is about to fall and he literally glbs her with a force right so you know they can do it you know Sol is strong enough and so he's there struggling trying to hold the bridges and when thinking just grab the girls the force what are you doing no he has a better solution I'm just going to drop so then after struggling he like I'll let I'll let may die let may fall to a death to his knowledge double hands on the thing even though hands really shouldn't be you know directly Force Power and it's not really the size uh that should impact things but I thought Soul maybe he's emotional I thought Soul would he's such a maybe You' think you'd be a master that you know size doesn't really matter to him but this time it does that was the lesson from Yoda it's like you know size matter not yeah well remember Canon is just a suggestion at this point yeah so he is really struggling that he literally just like screw you m may you can die and then he still can't hold on to this bridge and just grab o [ __ ] you [ __ ] and then he lets it go it's falling and he runs forward and grabs her and saves her and that whole sequence I was just this is one of the dumbest things I've ever seen on TV yeah in context because the context is this this guy with the force yeah and he can just grab him like watching this causes you to lose brain cells it's that dumb yeah so then oser she is uh you know on the bed and there's a conversation before and they're all really like distraught about what happened I'm like hang on hang on all right all right you uh kick things off very poorly but then it got so bad that The Witches were ready to kill their girls and kill you and you were forced to defend yourself right this is all very defensible and explainable but they are like ripped up like they went in there and just slaughtered everyone like it was the Red Wedding all of these things of course cuz we have hyper emotional Jedi and this is what they retards this is what ruins ruins it for me cuz the only one who actually kind of act like a Jedi the whole time was the the master lady she was the only one who had like some semblance of being a Jedi and then right at the end she becomes emotional too and goes you can't do that you have to be there for her you have to it's like you're a Jedi you're not supposed to be forming attachments right now and it seems like all you have all done this whole episode is form attachments to things and their actual you know explanation is Justus like they were attacked and they defended themselves yeah that that's it but they're like we have to keep it secret and sa is like I must report to the I'm like yeah yeah do that but you wouldn't get punished for it because and keep in mind this is all the council's fault because they told the council and they said you you can't interfere anymore also stay there so I mean the council just as much I mean the the young Padawan guy he is a [ __ ] for running to the the things like oh that's our ticket out of here right didn't he become a Jedi yeah yeah he became a Jedi such a masterful Jedi that uh he could stop anyone hitting for hitting him at all yeah so uh that guy deserved to be a Jedi being a [ __ ] P that somehow had it his mind taken over and then tried to kill all his comrades he was still a Jedi yeah soul uh super emotional had to wanted to wanted to kidnap children uh he became a Jedi you know a master yep it just seems crazy these Jedi are super duper incompetent super duper emotional it's almost as if they're not Jedi yeah it's like almost as if the people riding this don't understand a freaking thing about Star Wars just put some robes on them and give him a lightsaber that's a Jedi but this isn't real Star Wars we've known this from the beginning this is Disney Star Wars a completely separate foreign entity of actual Star Wars and this is just an impostor trying to dup people in to give them money by wearing a skin suit of something far greater than what they're the slot that they're making and so then the the you know higher lady Jedi she's like we will tell them the truth OSHA started a fire and everyone died and I'm like but know but she says it like that's the truth that's that's the alternative truth but it's like no that was actually that's what happened you're like that's what I mean yeah she literally is presenting it like we're going to lie yeah instead they do say the tell the truth and look there is some stupid things that led up to it yeah and like there's a lot of things where like you did you all made massive mistakes sure but I even think if they stood on trial and in the council and there like all right they're acting aggressively oh one turned it was one was literally turning into Evil dark Side smoke demon okay Soul understandable right um and so when he says I must faceing counsel I was like for what defending yourself yeah going there is the iffy thing yet there's defense for it by saying it's an evil Covenant of dark side witches that are about to perform a ritual to sacrifice a girl that doesn't want it done to her I and I I know there's a counterargument but at least there is a defensible argument they could make saying it's like everything they they' done here is just indefensible and they have to hide it and make a big cover up and this is the m this is the mystery of the the show and I'm like that's it really holy crap and then and then the episode ends that's it oh wow one more episode left and like I said right at the beginning keep in mind the actual story this does impact at all it's just ridiculous the this entire episode and it's a flashback and now we only have one left to wrap up the actual it's not even a story the actual acolyte season oh but you know what I think they'll do now OSHA is going to find out that Soul murdered the mother when she was turning into a h smoke demon they won mention the demon part they would just say soul murdered your mother and so be like I'm sorry I didn't mean to do it and then OSHA's going to be like Jedi bad I am the acolyte now that's what I think they're going to do yeah yeah wow and they'll probably have a reveal that um Smiley Ren's Master is the mom there the the the the horn mum yeah straw the straw that broke the camels back man this show this is just it it it it hurts your brain it is like one of the worst pieces of Television I think I've ever seen this episode like at the beginning of acolyte I was thinking the writing isn't as bad as rings of power this episode 100% is as bad if not worth just the sheer density of contradictions and stupidity and baffling like this is a a constant issue we've had throughout the entire season is all the characters motivations just seem so flipping on a dime people are just doing the opposite they're flipping scene scene this one epitomizes all of that to an even worse degree gadriel was a narcissistic psychopath that wanted War um and corrupted sour on himself into being evil but at least she was more consistent yeah at least at least didn't she did she just you know she didn't want to go home you I just want to go home the Jedi will never let me go home I'm going to you know yeah be tempted by the dark side it's like go that's all we've got for you cuz honestly that's that's all I don't know what to say this is just crazy I'm in awe that this was made yeah in this state to this standard the only way it could have be made is that multiple not just one multiple people need to be unbelievably incompetent cuz I like even if they were sitting out intentionally to destroy Star Wars the way they would do it is to subvert make the Jedi out bad everything and still make it make sense and logical like this is making themselves look so bad the only explanation is unbelievable astounding incompetence of the likes I've rarely seen it it it it's it's to such a degree where you go it takes you out of the story cuz when you're sitting there and she's trying to seduce the Padawan and he goes I just want to go home you're sitting there like hold on we're talking about a Jedi Padawan in like an evil witch coven and the Darkness he's surrounded by mes and the only thing that he's thinking about is I want to go home yeah like and like there's a ship that he could just poop in go home at any time right and yeah he would strand him but if he's willing to like entertain the dark side I think that's a lesser thing just taking the ship off right but then the fact that he knows he's going to be going home a bit later anyway this is literally just like I get to knock off work a bit earlier and it's so like you know much of a Temptation he was is it's it'll betray his value his loyalty to the light side of the force and uh entertain the temptation of the dark side because he you all you could have done to just fix this ridiculous thing is like just make him a little bit like a bit of a have a bit too much emotion a bit too angry a bit too this and you know maybe prod him a little bit maybe goat him make him use his emotion make him lash out in anger and it would just make more sense this is just like it literally is like you want some candy you want to go home you want to go home it's worse than that he has candy at home that he can have and then they're like you want some candy even though he knows he's already it's that dumb and like there are multiple ways they could have tried to make when I say m thousands like yeah what if he was already getting tempted by the dark side and other things like that this is just nonsense thing of is he wants to go home so much he disobeys his own masters gets on a speeder to go to an enemy base to kidnap children which he didn't even need to do cuz he already had evidence for it about what in all of what I just said then what about that makes is anything to do with Jedi yeah like any of that and how could going home be the thing that pushes him so far to do such [ __ ] extreme contradictory even borderline evil stuff right holy crap but the writers unironically think that's that's the right there going yeah all right that's all cuz I'm done talking about dark I I'm wow but we have one more episode two we'll be there we're not giving up cuz that's yeah I know but that's what we do stay on watch [Music]
