How do you think Mae and Osha were created?

[sandervanelslander]

Osha and May are the same person gone schizophrenic from spice cookies is now my favourite theory.

[mavowar]

Tommen committed suicide…. Again. This time in Star Wars

[nicholasjenkins]

You’re putting more lore and theory into this than the writers did 😂

[ThylesGaming]

Another hint, that we haven't seen everything that happened in this situation, and only one twins (Oshas) perspective, is the episode title: while the first two have double titles (Lost/Found and Revenge/Justice), this one only has one, Destiny.

[secla_SC]

I'm a big fan of the thick hilts, I agree it makes them feel more real and also kind of intimidating for an opponent.

[OttoHIGHtower]

The power of one, the power of two, the power of maaaany 🤣

[Captionjones]

What if the show’s tittle “the acolyte” has nothing to do with the twins & more to do with this hidden figure. They’re the true apprentice of either darth plageus and darth tenebrous

[guardspeedy]

Darth Tenebrous did have a secret apprentice in breach of the rule of two named Darth Venamis.

[Acekhan]

I could like the Indara fake-out twist because I thought her "friends" att the noodle bar seemed like very unusual company for a Jedi.

[Brodie_Loman]

The line on the blue moon is a vertical ring.

[BornUnready]

doesn’t make much sense to me that the Jedi Order wanted to recruit these kids that are already 8-9 years old. when it’s been pretty well established that that’s way to old to begin jedi training. only reason anakin was an exception was because of Qui Gons dying wish

[robertallen]

Sol is the best part of the show. Easily

[yusamuel]

The tread is not a power to wield. Immediately uses it in action and mind controls Tommen

[ReeseRizzerspoon]

I hope these 2 are the precedent for when Anakin was deemed too old to be trained... because they look just as old if not older than him in ep.1

[leo-ivxx]

somehow smoke inhalation is more dangerous than any jedi seen so far lool

[johnmiwa]

The Jonestown reference was particularly insightful.

[BloodofEli]

Me - How many bots are in your chat?





Rockstar - Yes!

[donnajanveau]

When Osha woke up in the ship near the end of the episode and asked what happened that felt out of place to me. She should have known what happened. I think the Jedi there wiped her memories or blocked some in a manner. She doesn't know what happened that night, only what the Jedi told her for some reason.

I think this is because what happens is the following:
- The jedi get controlled and begin attacking the coven, killing them. The jedi are the ones that destroyed the place.
- Osha is going to find out from Mae or through the story that it was the jedi that killed her coven and thats going to be like her "low hero point of doubt"

[Saimeren]

So do we think that Torbin went out of his way to boost up his Force shielding ability after he got mind controlled? In the last episode he was untouchable. Just makes you think that maybe he never wanted anything like that to happen again, so he worked on his force barrier.
