My favorite Sol line from the show..
“You have a lightsaber , but you are no Jedi !”
Loved that .
No offense but this whole serious is just a bunch of communist goobleygook.
This finale was deeply disappointing and it distilled the most frustrating parts of the series: characters making choices that defy their own motivations and making wild swings between loyalties. Mae was ready to go to the jedi just before the first fight with Qmir, Osha was ready to go to the jedi just before the jedi find them under the tree, Mae was ready to back with Qmir but suddenly wants to have her memory wiped so that Osha can go instead. It was bizarre, unprompted, and stupidly clunky.
@StarWarsExplained the Disney – Lost & Found – are calling you to come pick up your cojones 🍒
What if the Yoda scene is actually a clip from season 2?
Why would Mae flip and want Jedi justice vs revenge?
Funny how the only jedi character that survived is Leslye Headland's spouse. In general i disliked the show due to how confusing the characters are, they never seem to know what they are doing. This, the bad acting and stupid plot solutions killed the show for me.
I knew this last episode would be abysmal based on her zoom interview on Star Wars Explained. She literslly said, "Star Wars is about the betrayal of the father"
Show was so bad
hope they do season 2 or even go straight cinema, This is for me the best starwars
You are always so positive 👍
Why is no one talking about Vernestra's 'phone call' with Palpatine? That's right, play it back again, it's him!
This channel is huffing something. You HAVE to be high.
Is this guy serious?? A second season why
Very disappointing show overall. Had good fights and the last two episodes where somewhat good and finally told some story. But having 6 bad episodes till then was is huge mistake IMHO.
The show always felt like low budget and very weak production wise. Characters, dialogues and the pacing where mostly useless and annoying to witness. Sol was the only character that actually had some variety and deepness but it took them so long to show that to us.
Also wtf was the point of basil in this show? Why did it get so much time for being absolute useless and infuriating to look at. This is just one if many examples why the show was so weak.
I really hope there won't be another season of this mess.
8 30 minute episodes weren't enough.
Who was the worst character…the most stupid smart guy in the room Sol, the self destroying witches, Osha the mechanic without power that hates her 'sister' but now she hates 'Sol' so she is the most powerful force user ever. Green Jedi, lets cover up my mistake that everyone will go along with for some reason and ignore the emergence of the Sith..the new Jar Jar, Basil, Hot Sith Nude pervy guy, Mae the boring mass murderer good guy or Darth Plaguies, Creepy voyeur fidling in the shadows….this damn show, all as bad as each other…Action scenes were cool though, em yeah thats all…
God, this show was so much better that Ashoka. I hope it gets a second season.
What if “Kill a Jedi without a weapon” didnt mean “kill a Jedi without (using) a weapon” but actually “kill a Jedi AFTER TAKING their weapon”
Tying to show Mae how to bleed a crystal. I wouldn’t put it past a Sith to be cryptic like that
Bro this sith can erase memories of jedi trained force users. Nah he way to powerful. And why doesnt he use this in the beginning.
Why is nobody talking about how that was clearly Palpatine that Venestra was talking to? Can't believe nobody seems to have recognized Ian McDiarmid's voice in that scene.
It answered a lot of questions to you?
I wish Leslye had said she wouldn't confirm or deny Yoda being in the series. I can see Alex's point but I think even the back of his head still counts as an appearance and she shouldn't have fibbed about it. That said, I loved the show and hope it gets a second season!💖
It's so crazy that Mae giving Osha her blessing to train with the Sith is framed as a good thing. I think it's a sign of the times that 'what do you want' has become more important than 'what is best for you', in my opinion. It's like someone saying to her sister, 'go on and become an evil murderous hate-filled cultist, if it's what you want. You know best.' Really?
This is first positive review I've seen of this, or at least one review with a positive spin anyway. Welp, you do you.
I came to get a breakdown not a feel-good review. The show was trash sorry!
Definitely the best episode of the season. However, overall I was not impressed. The acting by most of the cast is bland, and I was unable to care about any of them because they had no real emotions or personality. Plaigus was cool, I would have been happier without yoda, only because I feel he’s too good for this show. Finally Basil is the best character, the only one with personality but his actions are confusing.
The "love" Sol had for Osha. Errrrrr what??????
I wish it was a one episode season. Better not be a season 2. What a waste of time as Disney absolutely destroyed canon.
This show should not get second season
Need that shirt!
1:20 If you look closely her eyes aren’t red it’s a reflection of a red lightsaber (most likely from her vision.
This show was absolute trash
This is the first Star Wars show I’ve disliked so much I can’t bring myself to finish it yet! I’m sure I will but it really saddens me when I finish a bad SW show cos it’s now official canon.
There won't be a second season of this poorly written series. The viewership and ratings support my statement. That's not opinion. That's a FACT.
The show was horrible. I’m very glad it’s over. The show was marketed as the Sith, manipulating and hiding in the shadows, controlling cartels controlling governments, moving small things to their favor so that the galaxy is always under stress. Nothing of that sort was given to us. This show was very lore breaking. And real Star Wars fans know it even this channel knows it, but I think they have an obligation to stay positive due to the wrath of Mickey Mouse.
We came together as a people. Revolted. And won in the end. Show is dead. 🫱🏻🫲🏼
Sol did nothing wrong
Controlling your emotions is not what the Jedi do. They manage their emotions. And there is a difference. Anakin doesn’t break because the Jedi are telling him to control his emotions, he breaks because Palpatine tells him to embrace his darkest inclinations. Obi-wan and the Jedi falter here because they can’t help Anakin manage the fear growing in him. This is a communication issue. The Jedi are overwhelmed and can’t give Anakin the attention he needs, Obi-wan is turning a blind eye to Anakin’s emotional state, and Anakin is not being fully truthful about what is going on. It’s not because the Jedi as an institution are too controlling. So I do not agree with the Senator’s impression of the Jedi.
This review is a disgrace
All the thematic links in the world cannot save this show from the clunky characterisation, poor acting and bad pacing. Motivations are unclear or inconsistent and generally the writing is very flat. Made the Phantom Menace look like the Godfather.
