I think you’re right but it’s a strange coincidence don’t you think?

No. She was literally only cutting her hair to pass as he sister.
She still had feminine hair.
You're looking too deep into it.

She wanted to pass as Osha but the giant Nutria seems to know the truth. I think Darth Teeth does too as he put the cloak on Osha where he wanted to kill Mae.

Lmfao are you really this slow? You know that SJWs cut their hair short to appear “non-binary”, right? You think that didn’t play a factor here?


No, she cut her hair shorter to look like her sister who had shorter hair.

it was still shoulder length and no one is referring to Osha or Mae through nonbinary pronouns. they’re just women.

Go back to the Poli board

Is the idea that she is trying to get to the Jedi from within now? I don't understand the motivation.

Also, is she OK with her sister being in the bad guy's custody?

Could’ve sworn they had identical haircuts the whole time. My eyesight is failing me, getting old I guess.

The lightsaber fighting was some of the best we’ve gotten in a long, long time.

Despite that, it’s still so poorly made that one decent episode can’t overcome all the shitty groundwork that was laid out before

$180 million dollars and they can’t even show the Wookie Jedi fight/death but they can devote time to hair cuts and “Power of one!”

But it was undercut by constant transitions

it was pretty awesome.

It’s cool to see someone use force powers, a lightsaber and whatever his lightsaber killing equipment was in a really integrated way.

I have been pretty uninterested with a lot of fight choreography lately. This was fun.

there is an episode of Star Wars Vision where a jedi is fighting a sith and the sith is using force lighting to basically block the jedi’s lightsaber over his head. The Jedi just turns off his lightsaber and turns it back on under the Sith’s guard. It was one of the coolest moves i’ve seen in’s Star Wars.

I’m still of the mind that there’s no way a Wookie could even be a Jedi but if you’re going to have one he’s at least got to fight. It’s typical key jangling with no payoff from Disney, their attitude is “look it’s a Star Wars thing you know” only to completely drop the ball with the payoff.

if we never get to see the wookie swing a lightsaber it would be a disappointment.

there are some clips in the trailers and we have 3 more episodes and definitly there will be flashbacks.

I would prefer they not cover the wookie jedi at all in this show and address it as a focal point in a standalone movie/show.

I think the premise here just like in the Clone Wars(animation series) and in the movies is the Jedi are arrogant and blinded by it. How did Master Yoda did not know the supreme chancellor was a Sith lord and shared the same space.

The whole downfall of the Jedi was their arrogance and Anakin saw it earlier on. The first episode in this series the Jedi Master was arrogant that she could not be killed. This show is at least speaking to that.

The episode was the best so far but not sure the season is going to provide any major answers. This is setting up season 2 just like with Ashoka. Her show was a huge build up to Thrawn coming back which we knew was going to happen.

I have a feeling we may find out, or she will find out, from the Sith that the witches died at the hands of the Jedi not the fire. Their bodies were just lying dead before the whole thing caught on fire. Why the one Jedi drank the poison of out guilt.

They can currently make a very very loose argument that Ki Adi Mundi technically doesn't know there is a Sith yet. So, basically everyone that has run into him and heard him refer to him as a Sith gets killed and no report ever gets back to him that he was a Sith, then it technically wouldn't break canon, from a certain point of view.

As I said, it is a very, very loose argument.

They could also just go the cheap route of pretending he is a Sith the whole time, and then be like oh gotcha, he wasn't "actually" a Sith.
All bad routes.

I think throughout the show we’re supposed to see the sorta slide of the Order as it becomes more powerful and more political.

They are very concerned about the appearance of these
murders more than maybe the murders themselves.

There is also a big point that jedi are living creatures, and while they preach things like detachment, it goes against most human nature to have no attachments (and humanoid nature I guess)

The Jedi are ATF. The witches are Branch Davidians. The green jedi woman trying to keep this all under wraps is Space Janet Reno.

Also, I’m pretty sure the lightsaber move where Qmir turned his one lightsaber into two pieces was a move borrowed directly from Jedi Fallen Order. Pretty cool detail.
