What is the deal with Star Wars introducing witchcraft into shows and movies now? Rise of Skywalker, Asohka, now this show. The force wasn't fantastical enough? Episode 3 supposedly makes it seem like the force and the witches/witchcraft are the same.

if done correctly, force capable "witch" covens would / could be pretty cool IMO. they are incapable of doing it in an interesting or cool way though, i'm sure.

You are correct but it’s a lot more sinister than that.


I was going to go deeper about how I think most of this lefty stuff right now is closet communist who are trying to get revenge for the cold war loss and China who is trying to use all these concepts to weaken its enemy from within. I think a lot of that Blackrock money is propped up by the Chinese communist. But, people would probably call me conspiracy nut.

Nor should they. It fricking sucks and if it's going the way it supposedly is it's going to lose a significant portion of star wars fan base.

The W.E.F. is funding Disney now. It’s a child propaganda apparatus and nothing more. People like Headland and Kennedy are just little girls playing dress up as Hollywood execs. Disney knows they suck but it doesn’t matter as long as the money keeps coming.

KOTOR is cursed. It was the alleged story that Dumb and Dumber were going to adapt before they screwed up GoT. The remaster of the game has been canceled 2-3 times by now.

I’m not positive, but I think they were in at least one of the EU books that came out in the 90’s.

I mean, I would've but there's no significant representation for stale-pale-males who look like me.

Over the past decade, I was incessantly taught representation is the sole guiding principle regarding a movie or tv series' watchabilty. The amount of, or in this case, lack of diversity in race/gender casting thus informs my viewing habits. The show runners made it clear this series wasn't made for me. Thankfully, I still have VHS tapes of movies & shows that were.

There seems to be two directions this story will go and I don’t find either of them a compelling “mystery”.

First one is the bad twin is either misunderstanding or being lied to by her master with how her “mothers” died. We can’t know for sure yet because she chooses not to tell either one she’s killed so far why she wants to kill them. Being that the second jedi seems to have killed himself willingly I’m leaning more toward this second option.

The good twin is being lied to and the two white, one Wookiee and one asian jedi killed her family and now the twins (both either good or bad depending on your perspective) will join up in the end. Good or bad depending on the circumstances of the killing. Were the jedi murderers, have a good reason or was it by accident?

I doubt the reason will be clear cut but so what to all of it.

Mediocre. I'll probably give it one more episode to see if it gets any better.
