Star Wars: Acolyte

Whats her face from the matrix apparently killed them after they possessed jedi wookie, however, i am unsure exactly how that happened.

I thought, for a second, that they died not unlike Luke died projecting himself through the force.

oh yeah..she did some mind thing..surely dark side shit..

I think this is intentionally still unclear. The coven combined their power (the power of one, the power of two, the power of MAAAAANNNYYYYYY) to posses Kelnacca's mind and control him. Indara breaks that possession/ connection. Not 100% sure what she did, whether it was just using the Force to push them out or a kind of mind wipe, etc. But she pushes them out.

We then see the coven collapse. I don't know if we're meant to believe they are dead at that point or if we're meant to believe they passed out from their effort to invade Kelnacca's mind and Indara's rejection of them. But I don't think we're meant to interpret anything Indara did there as Dark Side stuff.

Either way, if they weren't dead by Indara's actions, surely the died in the fire.

But I think it's intentially left open-ended as to what EXACTLY happened.

So Im assuming this show is setting up the birth of Anakin and how that came to be,

But there was only ever one vergence of the force and that was Anakin. So now the lore needs to be changed.


BUt I do like they are using the twins as the inspiration for Palpatine and Plageuis scheme which ultimate backfired.

There was a good series somewhere here. It was just executed/acted poorly IMHO.

[epilogue]

My guy, there are a lot of examples of Force vergence in Star Wars canon. Anakin is far from the only one.

The show isn't setting up the birth of Anakin. That sorry has already been told.

i dont know where you got any of that ^ from this series

I still don’t know if I’m going to watch this

this will not surprise anybody here

[wease]

I kind want to, because Star Wars, but I can’t really raise any kind of desire to pull it up and play it. From what most of you are saying, there’s nothing really “must see” with it. If there was, I’d probably be much more excited for it.

Some of the lightsaber battles are cool. Some of it looks like a cheap TV show. All of it is boring.

[epilogue]

The fights are outstanding. Probably the pound for pound best in SW

Pablo. The story group fella. On the bleeding of kyber crystals.

(The crystal in the lightsaber when it went red in the acolyte for those asking)

“Bleeding” kyber crystals came out of the backstory of “The Gathering” episode of S5 The Clone Wars. Didn’t really surface in a story until the Ahsoka novel and then The Rise of Kylo Ren comic.

The one you ratted me out to

I guess it was from the fact Plagueis was seen lurking in the background and the twins being created by the force.

Is this what gave Plagueis the idea to create a being using the force which ultimately led to the birth of Anakin ??

I have seen it theorised on other websites so Im not crazy but it could be long bow

the witches were using magic though. Not the force. The jedi have just interpreted it as the force as that's their worldview. And as we've seen in this series their view is extremely narrow and often wrong.
I sorta thought that was the entire point of it all.

the story doesn't reflect forwards on palpatine or plageuis when it comes to Anakin at all. They didn't 'make' him or have any hand act or part in his being born.
Plagueis only interest in the book was creating life and afterlife.
i would avoid any wild theory sites like those ones as their just there to create click revenue tbh.
the same ones screaming disney are retconning anakin!! and a million versions of that..it's nauseating and just their to drive rage bait which leads to revenue for them

dime, you make the show sound even more boring than it already was.

i'm just trying to clarify mud here

it's thats murky and unclear, but its down to the storytelling in the show and it just isnt handled well. So if everyone comes away with mental theories its kinda fair enough.

it is worth watching though. Theyre short enough episodes and some great ideas in there. not delivered or finalised to their full potential lets say.

[epilogue]

The Plagueis book isn't canon. It's important to remember that going forward. So, this show can do pretty much anything they want with him. However, Headland is a huge EU fan. So I imagine she'll try to stay close to that material as long as Lucasfilm lets her.

My take is that the coven were using the force. But I do think it's interesting if that was just a misconception by the Jedi. I do like that take.

In the Vader comics there was a scene where Anakin/Vader meditates and sees a vision that Palpatine created Anakin with the force. The writers and Pablo have been very clear that it was not intended to be a reveal. It's just a fear that Vader has. The same as Luke in the Degobah cave. It is not canon at all that Palpatine created Anakin. The folks on charge have gone out of their way to be clear on that.

there was a thing in the new canon books with Luke and travelling the far reaches of the galaxy and meeting new cultures, and theyre using the force, but they dont call it the force, and theyre definitely not tied into the rigid rules of cant do that and cant do that, the jedi are.
these other cultures are using it in entirely news ways (to him)

the one story im thinking of the people in it called it the tide? i think?
and he lives with them for a while and learns all about water as a metaphor for the force and how to fish (its a water planet and it ties into him skewering that giant fish at a great height, in Last jedi)

i think thats what the witches are doing.. using parts of the force the jedi have no concept of and cant use, see the mind invasions for example. the jedi rules forbid anything like that but they havent evolved to experience anything like that and so have no answer to it or protection from it when it happens..

something like that

i wanna sammich

I believe they used the force or the "thread" as they referred to it to create the twins. Both Osha and Mae have a high midichlorian count just like Anakin. And I always believed Plageuis and Palpatine trying to create life is what created the chosen one.

Any way this was by far the most disappointing live action series.
