All the neckbeard channels have been calling Master Nepo since episode 2.

So it isn't a surprise to a lot of people.

Not that I care what they think, but they did call that.

this show is trash and each week only adds to the pile of sh*t that Harvey Weinstein's assistant has given us. The characters (if you can call them that) switch their goals and motivations from scene to scene and sometimes within the same scene. They all have single-digit IQs.

The Cortosis(Kortosis?) namedrop out of nowhere with no buildup or backstory for how he got such a material breaks the PT and OT.

Sol acts like Mae is Osha until the plot demands he use the Force and recognizes she isn't who she's pretending to be.

Following the beaver/tracker/animal all around the ship for no payoff, he stomps on Mae's foot for no reason and raises no other alarm about who she is.

The dialogue is horrendous. Children can write better than this slop.

This show is a trainwreck.

What other objective facts do you need before you wake up and take Disney/LucasFilm's c*ck out of your throat?

Downvote all y'all want. Expect better content. Especially if it costs $180M to make.

it has its issues I dont agree with all your arguments.

I like some of the major characters and episode 5 was great. o haven’t seen episode 6 yet. I fell asleep last night putting my kid to bed.

this was the same problem Obi-Wan had.


It's as if a bunch of teenagers who have never written a show before were in charge.



and this last episode was terrible. So now everyone knows all those jedi were killed by a lightsaber, and the only person they can blame this on to not conflict with the prequels is Sol, b/c they can't hint that a Sith did this and the jedi council know that. So Sol either has to die before he can tell everyone what happened, or he has to be blamed for all those deaths and no one believe him. I guess strong green female character is going to find him and kill him to keep it under wraps.


Osha/Mae is a terrible actor, and is written terribly.


It's a shame this show is such arse, b/c they are wasting a good actor and storyline with smylo ren.

I've not seen one episode of this show, but do they know that this character shares a name with a canadian soap company?

They named this episode of a Star Wars series “The Parent Trap”. Like it’s a 90’s sitcom.

The only good parts of this show are the parts where Manny Jacinto is on screen. Even the Sol parts are bad now.


Now just watch and they’ll kill him off in the finale - the only interesting character and story worth pursuing.

I also forgot to bitch about the family friendly scene while Osha/Mae watches Smylo Ren get naked from afar creepily, then we get to see Smylo Ren come out the water in the nude and Osha/Mae clearly looks down at his dick.

A scene that served no purpose other than to have some naked creepiness, on what is supposed to be a family friendly show.



and wow, that specifically chosen weak looking gay white jedi that is talked down to and made to seem like a bitch to strong green female character, just wow.

This episode was Parent Trap meets The Blue Lagoon.

The writing continues to be trash.

Cortosis is from Legends. It's something from SW lore it wasn't made up for the show. I like it's inclusion.
It's weak against projectile weapons and Mando's Beskar Spear would go right through it.

The Dialog is mostly bad but SW was never known for good dialog.

The Beaver tracker thing told Sol about Osha/Mae the camera pans to him.


What I liked about this episode was Manny Jacinto, we know he's a dark side user, but he doesn't see himself as evil or he plays that he doesn't. In Star Wars the villians are always just pure bad. It was a big deal when Vader showed a small good side.
The Stranger/Qimir is an intriguing villian. He has a calm and cool personality and seems like a nice guy until he puts on the mask.
I'm interested to see afar the Jedi did to the Witches, why did Sol want to go before the council for his actions?

Although I don't like the character, Vanestra knows more than she's letting on.
