The Acolyte: S01E05 “Night“
First Part is here โ This thrilling episode continues directly from cliffhangy moment where beautiful fourth ended. Almost whole twenty nine minutes i was close to edge of my -70’s style chair that can spin 360 ๐ I like it that Jecki was able to go so well against a bogey who did unusual combat style. None of the Jedi hadn’t experienced it for centuries. It was nice how she made the disarm & fought while dual wielding. Yord did a fine move before her when noticed Stranger’s gear advantage ๐ Knights of Ren ๐ถ can be heard during one Stranger’s scene. It’s about the group of warriors that got wasted with no head & tail in bad Sequel Trilogy ๐ Maybe he’s their founder or something. This episode of The Acolyte is stunning, from its lightsaber choreography to other beauty art โ
At least one new Lightsaber move combined with Force move is shown here. Stranger’s talk about Jedis sorta loonie stance & showing that his actions stem directly from them is el spot on ๐ Jedis believe that they alone may handle the Force & it’s powah ๐ For a long time i’ve disliked it & hope that now after le bad sequel trilogy there will be stories where also other folks use & can refer it as they please ๐ค๐ผ This deserves clean 8/10 & would be 8,5 with few changes & ten mins longer runtime. โ

The Acolyte: S01E06 “Teach / Corrupt“
Episode begins with Osha waking up in a small hideout set up by Stranger. The place is empty & she has a moment to wander around & take a look. Week before this lore in depth episode we got a violent el semi gory filled live act set into Galaxy Far, Far Away ๐ This one is mostly about conversation & looks into morality & priorities. It’s not a bad change at all as it fits well into pacing โ Every good viewer knows that no need to have two episodes of full action in a row. People had a week to recover from absolute banger episode ๐งโโ๏ธ This one shed more light into lore & even has goofy moment to balance things just lil bit in more darker tone Star Wars Live Act show โ Oh Master Sol why didn’t you travel straight into Coruscant ๐ I believe that here Stranger & Osha are on a planet Bal’demnic ๐ค It’s a significant piece of lore because it was once inhabited by Darth Tenebrous & his student, Darth Plagueis.
On that celestial object, Plagueis murdered Tenebrous. Neither has never had a live-action appearance. It could be that Plagueis is set to be in S02 & talented crew behind this show is gonna fill the semi gaps in timeline โ Maybe Plagueis was in Brendok’s tragic location & did the nasty finisher shown at end of el beauty fourth episode ๐ค Not the one by Stranger ^^ Star Wars 95: No Zeltrons in 1985 is a Book & Year when Lightwhip was introduced first time in beautiful Star Wars Universe ๐ Pip’s reset also adds to list of no witnesses at Brendok. On this less boom time i enjoyed the creature design shown at coastline. Jung-jae kept hitting the spotlight again ๐ฅณ Sol’s painful time feels so real that i almost literally felt sorry for him. Itโs a well crafted act of emotion for a character โ Bueno 7,5/10 ^^

The Acolyte: S01E07 “Choice“
This begins with eye massaging on location set in Wales. Galaxy Far, Far Away place is on Planet Brendok where Indara, Torbin, Kelnacca & Sol are taking samples from flora & fauna when do a field research for the Jedi Order โ Here we get reveals for what really happened on Brendok all those years ago. โChoiceโ gives us the events from the Jedis point of view. It’s up to a viewer to decide who’s the baddie. Many thought Mae to be responsible, but not quite as the actual truth is more painful. Some of it is because of understandable mistake that any sentient being with emotions could do, yes even a Jedi ๐ค At evening the group is relaxing by the campfire, where Kelnacca prepared fried Nuna leg to everyone.
Those who don’t consume carcass pieces are in trouble when decline Wookiee’s meal offer ๐ฌ Master Sol seemed to enjoy a double dish after work. He told to Indara’s Padawan the reason for the studies on Brendok โ Theyโre looking for a vergence, which is a high concentration of the Force. It couldโve created life on the planet. It was mentioned in ๐ long ago. Later on is revealed what Torbin saw when Mother Aniseya went into his mind. She basically isolated thoughts & speaking to his fears, desire etc. โ That beautiful scene is lil spooky & well done. Aniseya didn’t mean harm by doing so & knowing this & clash later, it’s kinda no wonder why Torbin took the Brash Vow ๐ค Okey 7/10 ^^

The Acolyte: S01E08 “The Acolyte“
Here first scene continues where sixt ended. Osha had lil troubles with the Mask. Same way that’s mentioned in Star Wars book long time ago โ
Earlier we thought Mae & Osha were the Vergence in the Force, but now knowing that they’re result of it. This means we still are a bit in the woods with this one. I guess more about it to be revealed on next season ๐ค๐ผ We also get more of eye candy here in S01 Finale in land & space. I look forward to su-mo when restream S01’s last two episodes at Disney+ ๐ I enjoy seeing hand-to-hand & kinda martial arts combat that’s not common in Galaxy Far, Far Away.
Also couple abilities got their first live act screentime during a well crafted encounter. One is where user could fire Force energy like a wave ๐ That is called Force Repulse, it can shove or knock down anyone within in close proximity. Few other things that i like in this: The grey hooded robe that Osha wears by the beach. One of many fine wardrobe picks on this season. General look of Jedi Temple, camera angles in several scenes & pacing not bad at all. Here good use of fourty five minutes runtime with a lot of eye candy treatments ๐ It also set up a lot of elements for beautiful season 2 ^^ Goosebumpy surprise & sorta two of em. Clear 8/10 & close to 8,5 if would’ve got gentle touch to smooth things. I’ll probably mention it at S01 spoily update by early – middle August ๐ The one where i talk more about this season.

Many questions & story pathways are in the wild now after mostly El Bueno S01. The Wait for S02 begins. Thanks to Headland, Kogonada, Culpepper & others who brought this eye & ear massage season to us ๐
About things:
S01 would be el perfecto if it got ten episodes, no matter what duration when pre end credits. What Is A Vergence? It is a space where the Force is strong & flows freely, allowing it to be manipulated or used by beings skilled with Force. It’s also been called a “Force Nexus” as it can be a meeting place between strong channels of the Force that give those around them even more power & access to it โ
The final move at lightsaber duel in ruined fortress is a nice tribute to samurai roots mentioned by George back in the days ๐ I hope that Master Torbin left his knowledge to databank in Jedi Holocrons. He was clearly very strong with Jedi mindpowah ๐ค
The Acolyte’s stunt crew should be hired to work also on other live act shows. Sol wasnโt wrong with thoughts he had about the incident in Fort used by Witches. The whole conflict started by Witch’s mind when invaded the padawanโs body without consent. I wish good time to everyone when stream this nice Star Wars Telly show at Disney+ & relax well in Galaxy Far, Far Away ๐งโโ๏ธ๐ต๐ฅช๐ I’ll add that spoily update when time is ready. Be kind to others & always help elder when see that requires assist ^^
