    Star Wars The Acolyte Finale episode 8 Series 1 the conclusion of the series that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. This series has been an stunning collection of bad interviews, marketing choices and even a diss track. Many of which put the shows already awful story, in an even worse light. But the finale was meant to wrap up the whole thing, it didn't. Instead it largely set up season 2, while contradicting everything we already knew about the series. It wasn't meant to, I just don't think the writers are morally capable of understanding what they wrote. It seems that you're meant to be rooting for Osha and Mae, that you feel sorry for them and see the Jedi as evil. Yet it failed, Sol didn't nothing wrong, the whining sisters are evil, and you're left with a series with no satisfying ending, as no villain got what they deserved. That's only true if you think Sol was the villain. But what do you think of what you saw? Let me know your thoughts down below and as always, thanks for watching :)

    The most evil thing about this show is the writers 😂

    Poor Squid Game Guy. He went through the long process of learning a new language just to play a creepy weirdo who gets girlbossed to death (and happens to own a lightsaber). I'm willing to bet that he'll be content to stay in Korea from now on. And that his agent is already fired.
  • "I want to kill jedi" - Mae "I want to surrender to the Jedi" - Mae "I want to kill Jedi (again)" - Mae "I want to escape from the Jedi" - Mae "I want to get my memory erased and join the Jedi" - Mae ..that's not a plot, that's a mood disorder.

    Sol: I killed your mother because she looked like she was doing something to your sister! I wanted to save you both! OSHA: 😡 Mae: I burnt everything down with you in it but only because I didn't want you to leave me, I'm sowwy... OSHA: 🥺

    I need to ask at this point. Does Disney KNOW that Darth Vader.... Had a RESPIRATOR? Like he wasn't just breathing heavily for dramatic effect, his LUNGS were burnt to cinders so he needs a respirator to SURVIVE. Putting on a helmet doesn't immediately result in mouth breathing.

    "youre guilty of murder" "but i dont remember murdering anybody" "oh okay then."
  • @matane2465
    Green Wench: A rogue jedi named Sol killed everybody. Ghost Sol: She's lying. This is BS.
  • Blame every death on Sol, even though the first episode showed he not only wasn't on the same planet when the Jedi master was killed, there was a witness who pointed out who killer her. AND the second episode that showed him being around other people when the second Jedi master was found dead...Disney Logic at it's core
  • So in the end the murderers go free and unpunished. Something tells me that this ending is based on the personal experience of Leslie Headland.
  • "...we need to talk." "GREAT deception I sense. Think me blind, do you? BLAMELESS, Sol is! Take over this investigation, I shall - a Jedi, YOU are NOT."
  • This is the most expensive therapy session that has ever been made into tv show. I hope you feel better, Leslie Headlamp.
  • @SammEater
    Gotta love how they are still pretending this is a morally grey tale. As out of character as they tried making the Jedi, they were STILL 100% in the right about the witches.
  • @Kyle-sr6jm
    'Hotwire' implies there is power to reroute. The place is burnt out. Power generator is toast. WTF is there to hotwire?
  • This episode shows how the people behind this are actually evil, they are unable to comprehend what is good morality.
  • Osha in Ep6: “That’s the path to the Dark Side.” Osha in Ep8: Turns to the Dark Side and kills Sol.
  • Man sol is the most tragic character ever. Killed a bunch of darkside witches in selfdefense, watched as all his friends killed, his padawan kills him, and is framed for all of it. If there's any justice in this world someone will try to clear sols name, hunts down osha and quimir, and exposes jedi master nempo.

    Remember when force choking had a very specific sound cue that gave the silly pantomiming some weight, because otherwise you just have someone gagging hilariously?
