A proper cliffhanger ending for this episode, smart move! Salute the serial roots of it all.

yeah that was pretty good like ???

also that mask is cool as hell

force pushed the conclusion into next week

I will say that if, as they weren't entirely shy about suggesting, Qimir is in fact our bad guy in the mask, the idea that Jason Mendoza is an evil Sith lord is kinda fantastic, and I await the endless memes.

Darth Bortles

that’s what i’m hoping!

I think Jason Mendoza is a red herring and the real bad guy is the green skin bald Jedi. When she said they shouldn’t involve the high council all my alarm bells went off.

I accept this argument! Guess we'll find out!

My kids and I were debating whether this is the worst Star Wars tv show (they are easily swayed by the strong opinions of YouTubers). I argue that Obi-Wan and Boba Fett were both worse because not only were they generally unnecessary, but they also retroactively ruined or deflated parts of the original movies. This, at least, exists on its own merits and can be cherished or forgotten with relative ease.

Feels inconsistent that any one force user is strong enough to force push that many other force users at once. For Jedi masters, they kind of suck at everything to do with using the force?

(this show is way more fun than any other Star Wars TV series I've watched, because it's goofy and moves right along... Andor was better but also bleak and depressing)

I'm just happy w/ Acolyte because it's exploring a time period in the universe that is mostly just explored in the comics. like it's thrilling for once to not have a goddamn legacy character in the damn thing.

well until we find out the Darth is actually little Sheevy Wonder

"these are show muscles, not go muscles" - basically

Given all the High Republic stuff so far in print/comics etc it does feel a little weird that their skills would have atrophied that quickly after the Nihil came through. But hey.

maybe their teacher was Gareth Southgate

Timely!

I want to see a fleet of brand new Millennium falcons , like the most current model

Yes, with an elon musk cameo

Agree. I feel like this show is the first Star Wars TV show I’ve seen with the zippy old school Lucasfilm adventure energy of the first trilogy. The other shows have been either bad and silly or good but too ponderous. Andor is the wonderful exception. Why don’t YouTubers like the acolyte, dare I ask?

not enough white people

Yeahhhhh! Darth Bortles, baby! Bring on the Force-powered molotov cocktails!

Finally got to put those dancing skills to good use

rare SW show that I wish had longer than 30 min episodes, every episode so far has felt so rushed. RIP Jecki and Yord, we hardly knew ye
