Spoilers for Star Wars: The Acolyte, episode three: The new episode has caused the internet to go crazy.

Tuesday, June 11, marked the release of episode 3 of Star Wars The Acolyte. This flashback episode delves deeply into the show’s philosophical premise while incorporating fantastic performances from the ensemble, a hint of imagination, and flashbacks.

The latest episode concentrated on historical events and how they happened during the High Republic era, following the first two episodes which detailed how Mae and Osha’s lives are what they are today. The audience’s responses to the new chapter have been intriguingly prompted by the program.

The third episode of The Acolyte expands on the show’s mystery.
The story of the twins’ early upbringing by the coven captivated viewers in the flashback episode. The episode takes place sixteen years in the past. The narrative suggests Mei’s motivations for killing the four Jedi and how the Sith were involved in the proceedings. The episode filled in the blanks by giving the current events some background. The reason behind the twins’ differences and their predicament with the Jedi is explained in this episode.

As expected for the third installment of the eight-episode series, IGN found the episode to be both interesting and annoying at times.

The episode’s most intriguing aspect, though, was how it begged further questions. After Osha managed to escape the fire that Mae started, she discovered that all of the witches had perished, leaving only Mae and Sol. After Mae appeared to have died, Sol took in Osha. However, Osha saw the entire event from his point of view, and Mae’s perspective is the only one that can now identify Sith, the villain, and the unidentified assassin of the witches.

In the end, fans determine whether an episode or a series is successful. Viewers’ responses to The Acolytes’ third episode were not quite unanimous. On social media, viewers discussed their opinions about the program. “Wow, eight minutes into The Acolyte episode 3 and I’m already done,” a user commented on X. This isn’t even the “controversial” part, in my opinion. This is no longer Star Wars. This place is awful. “Since “Star Wars is dead” now and The Acolyte is pure “woke propaganda crap,” we shouldn’t be hearing from these folks who complained so much about episodes 1 and 2, said a second user in defense of the show. In episode three, they won’t subject themselves to agony before moaning even more, right?

A remark was made by a user, saying, “I always love seeing the different interpretations of what the Force means to different cultures throughout the galaxy. #TheAcolyte’s third episode was very interesting & very, very unique.” Even though it’s the same energy, not everyone feels the same way about it. Fantastic episode

One more person said, “It was a complete pile of s**t.” This narrative is on par with that of Power Rangers.

As they wrote, “Okay then,” other users questioned the hate the show is receiving. I’ve completed watching #TheAcolyte, Episode 3… What specifically was the issue? Many people have said that this episode will stink and ruin Star Wars, and I believe them. What precisely was it that I missed? A second person concurred, writing, “Episode 3 does not deserve all the hate it got over the last week. Am I crazy? That was probably the best episode out of the first three so far lol.” Online, the “woke” elements were exaggerated despite being extremely mild.

Review of House of the Dragon Season 2 Episode 1: A solid, albeit sluggish, comeback with more discussion and less action

There are high hopes for House of the Dragon’s nearly two-year return. The first season of the prequel series to Game of Thrones raised the bar by placing viewers squarely in the thick of action and including rich character development spanning about 20 years in the Dance of the Dragons. The second season picks up just after the horrific events of the first, in which Prince Aemond Targaryen (Ewan Mitchell) and his dragon killed Rhaenyra Targaryen’s (Emma D’Arcy) youngest son, Lucerys (Elliot Mitchell). Now, intent or lack thereof is irrelevant. There’s been bloodshed, and the fallout will be far bloodier.

Fans of Game of Thrones may be reminded of the strategic war table scenes in which the protagonists scheme and plot in poorly lit interiors and consult council to choose the best course of action in the first episode of the second season, “A Son for a Son.” This time around, viewers should anticipate a more engaging comeback if the first episode is any guide. To be honest, it’s a pleasant diversion from the previous season’s unrelenting presentation of the developing conflict between the Blacks and the Greens. This season seems to be taking a much more methodical approach, focusing primarily on the internal conflicts. Peace is undoubtedly unattainable, but in the pursuit  for revenge, what also meets the eye is the reclamation of power, and the expression of grief.

Emma D’Arcy is fierce from the moment they first appear, adding a hint of melancholy and sorrow to the cunning world of things. However, Daemon (Matt Smith) is not to be trusted because he has his own ideas about who will succeed him. He doesn’t understand why pursuing retribution must wait when it may be completed right away. He reasons, “The mother grieves as the queen shirks her duties.” Additionally, Alicent (Olivia Cooke) and her daughter Helaena (Phia Saban) need to go beyond being remorseful spectators. By the end of this grim tale, we realise exactly why Helaena says she is afraid of rats.

The first episode immerses viewers in the discussions and betrayals that take place in the council chambers and chambers. It takes a confident and poised stride towards intensifying hostilities. While some viewers may be taken aback by showrunner Ryan Condal’s approach, which emphasises character-driven intrigue over grand schemes and spectacular action scenes in the beginning of the season, the show delves deeply into themes of war, betrayal, and legacy. We do get a deeper look at the hopelessness and inner demons of these men who pleasure in killing and retaliation, which makes the first episode promising even though it is a little too inconsistent and constrained for its own benefit. Even now, the first episode is personal and moving, laying  the necessary groundwork for the battles that will inevitably follow as the season develops.
