Saw a clip of that fight. What was it showing other than two mentally handicapped characters having a pillow fight?

that they were mirroring each others moves because they are the same person

It was laughably bad choreography and lacking any semblance of athleticism.

The yoda member berries was worse than the fight scenes

He does all of this for Osha whole he loves like she's his family, and she thanks him by killing him like he was nothing to her. You would think she would have struggled with having to kill him, and also how the hell does she suddenly become so powerful. Smh
Sol came off like he had a creepy pedo obsession with Osha lol.

Looked like a little kid spinning in circles only they shot her doing it twice and just put the two clips together. I’ll say this for the series, just when you think you’ve seen the worst episode of SW TV ever they keep lowering the bar somehow.

Nothing in the episode made any sense.
When viewed as a whole, now that we have the full context of the show, this was the dumbest Star Wars show yet.
Worse than TLJ (by far the worst SW movie)
Worse than the Holiday Special.
It was woefully inept in the writing and showed contempt for the lore. The only decent acting came from Manny and Sol. And even with them, they were bad 50% of the time on-screen. Amanda was laughably bad in this. Just horrendous.
Got a couple mid lightsaber fights. That's it.
When I am deriding Disney Wars fans going forward, I intend to refer to them as "Acolyte fans". I feel that would most quickly convey the message I would be trying to convey.

They definitely made it clear Bazil was on a side but no explanation given why. Remember earlier in the season he seemed to realize it was Mae pretending to be Osha but gave Sol no warning.
Also, so Osha made the decision to be Qimir’s apprentice in exchange for Mae being given her freedom. Did it seem like that was a decision that even needed to be made? Qimir was quite clear to Osha that she was free to choose whatever she wanted and she could have left at any point while they were on the island. If they wanted Osha to go with Qimir why not just let that happen? Why make it seem like she was having to save her sister by doing it? It’s one of my biggest gripes with the writing. Nothing is done simply for good or evil. Everything has to be conflicted and it’s so forced it just becomes nonsense. That and so so many arbitrary actions with no rhyme or reason.

That scene was the biggest issue for me in the entire show. It's like they needed it to happen but cut the reason why. If they needed Osha and Mae to split for the story they should have came up with a viable reason why or just had her get caught. I guess they needed the memory erasing to happen but why couldn't Qimir just do that as she got caught or trapped or something?
Oh well. The show was a good popcorn flick and I'll tune in if there is a season 2.

Where does The Acolyte rank among the live action TV shows? I'd rank them like this:
Andor
The Mandalorian
Ahsoka
Obi-Wan Kenobi
The Acolyte
The Book of Boba Fett
Andor
The Mandalorian
Ahsoka
Obi-Wan Kenobi
The Acolyte
The Book of Boba Fett

Yea I was giving you your answer as to why the place blew up. There was no reason for it to blow up. It blew up because the writers want it to. You imbecile.
You have a comeback for everything, your latest is "they are mirroring each other because they are the same person". You mean 2 girls that trained for a decade under different people and different arts?
I'm interested to see your next reason for whatever next retarded thing the writers did.

quote:Boba Fett was dumb as shite, but is better than The Acolyte in 2 ways:
Andor
The Mandalorian
Ahsoka
Obi-Wan Kenobi
The Book of Boba Fett
The Acolyte
1) Plot makes sense, even though the follow-through is weak.
2) Basically becomes the Mandalorian 4 episodes in

They were also connected to each other through the focce the entire time they trained. Sol stated they aren't sisters. They are the same girl, split in 2, light and dark
I find it weird someone would watch a fantasy/Sci-fi show then reject everything the show tells/shows them in favor of how things happen in real life.

As this isn't even really Star Wars, if you want to see a really GOOD show about 2 sisters who become rivals, I'd strongly suggest Arcane.

This show sucked balls. And then the finale arrived which sucked even harder.

The last 2 don't exist to me. So:
1. Mando
2. Ahsoka
3. Obiwan
4. Andor
