re: 'The Acolyte' Megathread: The Grand Finale is now streaming

What I just said is essentially paraphrased right from Lucas other than maybe the part about Yoda but anyone can gather that from context clues.

The Dark side, even with just two Sith, causes imbalance because of how physically powerful they are. But they can't reach immortality with the exception of maybe a piece of Darth Bane. The Light is more powerful with everlasting life.

That's why Obi Wan doesn't care about Vader striking him down because "I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine."

I think you can say the prophecy balanced the Jedi and Sith, but not the Force as a whole. The Jedi and Sith are just parts of their respective sides of the Force. The witches of Dathomir use the dark side but aren’t Sith. The Inquisitors were dark side users outside the rule of two.

but having other children born from the Force is going to cause people, including myself, to lose their shite. Surely they didn’t allow that to happen…

Reading the Reddit spoiler thread, this seems to be taking one line of dialogue about their “unknown” creation, a mystery that will likely be explored in the second half of the season, and making it out to me some definitive thing. Here is the response for the Redditor who posted it.

Their mysterious creation is only mentioned in a single line of dialogue in the third episode. I'm sure there's more to come.

So I suspect that because there are twins, and this seems to be part of the mystery, that the answer to the mystery of the creation, won’t the same as Anakin’s.

And this Alan Ng guy going around, saying this will “ruin” Star Wars, especially based on the little information provided in the first half of the season, is just him either trolling for engagement or just pure histrionics.

Hell even if his interpretation ends up being correct, “ruining Star Wars,” is still histrionics and just flat out weak-minded, since this immaculate-type conception was introduced decades after Star Wars was a beloved property, and it was introduced in prequel material that was so hated, just like the new material, that the hatred was leading some of the actors to contemplate suicide.

So now of course, this is going to ruin Star Wars, because it MIGHT change the minimally explored lore, introduced in material that once “ruined” Star Wars.

In my opinion, the best representation of the balanced Force was the Bendu from Rebels.

I would say it was the Father, the Son, and the Daughter that Anakin, Ahsoka and Obi-Wan met on Mortis.

They are what keeps the force balanced, until they were killed, and the prophecy of the chosen one being Anakin was to take the place of the Father. When he does that, is when the force will be balanced again.

And how does no sith = balance.

That was the interpretation of the prophecy by the arrogant jedi's.
It makes no sense, and shows how out of touch they were and why they needed to be destroyed with the Sith.

Acolyte is worse than Boba Fett

Better than Holiday Special.

As gay as True Blood

Dialogue seems to be written by Rose Tico

You’re the one who rages over content you refuse to watch, because you watch rage bait videos instead, You’re like a fish who falls for the same bait every time, but the people who make the rage bait are laughing at how many times you’ll take the bait.

I honestly think that if Tolkien or Lucas could read your posts, they would be like “this dude doesn’t get it at all.” Obviously George could, but it’s unfair to make him suffer through it.
