I don't think it's possible to see someone come out the water naked and not look. Humans are drawn to nudity.

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


I think it was to show vulnerability. I would also argue this show isn’t family friendly. It’s also not a good show. Its getting better, but the bar is low.

This is Star Wars. There's no sexuality shown in it ever, which is crazy considering it's almost all males that love it.
The closest thing was Lando hitting on Leia telling her she truely belonged with them in the clouds, and Leia's bikini in ROTJ, which yeah i guess that was pretty sexual even though not a single person in the movie acknowledged it in any way.
I remember when Adam Driver took his shirt off in whatever that 2nd movie was, and it was weird when it happened to me b/c that's just not something you see in Star Wars. And that wasn't sexual, it was just weird and pointless.



It was just a completely unnecessary scene, well, the whole episdoe was unnecessary and could have been condensed into about 3 minutes long to get the necessary information from it.

who's vulnerability? I don't know which character youre talking about b/c the show is so shittily written. I can't imagine you're talking about Smylo Ren, b/c he's not vulnerable to Osha/Mae. He's in complete control. If you're talking about Osha/Mae, then whatever. I honestly don't care about her character at all, and of course she's vulnerable. She's a prisoner to a guy who just killed a bunch of jedi by himself. Again, just a very unnecessary scene.
I don't think anyone cares what happens to Osha/Mae. The only thing important in this show at the moment is what really happened at the lesbo coven, and who Smylo Ren is, where he came from, and where he's going.

I'm interested to see afar the Jedi did to the Witches, why did Sol want to go before the council for his actions?

For all the buildup, this better be good.

Dooku was not pure bad.

I'd even say Darth Maul wasn't pure bad. He may have done bad things, but i dont think he was purely bad like Sidious was.

I blame George Lucas.

For everything.

Had he not sold out, none of this would’ve happened.

He was a slave doing what his master told him to do.
He was brought up as a slave. He knew no other way.

Who he became in the Clone Wars wasn't pure evil, once he started thinking for himself for the first time in his life.

Jesus frick. This is like Hallmark StarWars trying to be sexy and hip and it comes off too cringy to even laugh at. AI could write a better script. Probably act better than Amandla too.

No one stared at her, in the movie, or said anything to her about it, in the movie. She was eye candy for the viewers. That's what i mean by no one acknowledging it, unlike what just happened with Osha/Mae checking out his dick.

Hell i find her sexy in the white sheet in a New Hope, titties just bouncing around with no bra.
