Ok So In The Wake Of The New Acolyte Trailer I Decided To Finally Keep Reading The High Republic Books

ok so in the wake of the new acolyte trailer I decided to finally keep reading the high Republic books I've been meaning to get to, more specifically 'light of the jedi' and I read something I absolutely adored

so avar kriss

she has a very special connection to the force, needs to find a hunk of a damaged ship in the whole star system.

she sits down in a field of farmers crop saying that the force is extremely strong here, it's all around her. she floats up her saber and makes it start to spin like a windmill in front of her, she then uses this lightsaber and adjusts it's speed to channel the force to find the object like a kind of force magnifying glass to put it simply if crudely

i really love this and think it's a genius push to the boundaries of what can be done with a lightsaber when paired with the force and it got me thinking of maybe alternative ways that a lightsaber could be used.

what if a Jedi needs to push something that's far away, so they throw their saber in that direction, ignite it with the force and use the blade like an extension of themselves to push said object away? that would be so cool!

id love to see more of this in the new show, fingers crossed!

ps. avar kriss' lightsaber is so gorgeous and I love it

couldn't agree more, it's everyone just tearing into it because it's Disney starwars but this show just needs to have its own time to breathe so we can enjoy it

One of the things I've realized is most of the reviewers of The Acolyte are...incredibly childish.

I've seen people complain about not understanding why Qimir's armor was shorting out the lightsabers.

They tell you about it in the next episode.

People complained about Sol not realizing it's Mae...and they explain why...in the next episode.

Take a minute...breathe...and maybe shut the hell up before you start tearing into an unfinished story.

I've been wondering for a while how to put everything I've seen about the acolyte finale into words and this is it here, plain and simple. it was an amazing finale.

The Acolyte spoilers:

It’s wild to me how much discourse there is about points from The Acolyte that I think were pretty obvious lol

People arguing about Qimir being a Sith or not. He explicitly said he was looking for an acolyte. An acolyte is an apprentice to the apprentice of the Sith master. Then Qimir said he wanted the power of two. I mean what more evidence do we need lol

Also about Plagueis being his master. I’m not 100% sure, but I’m 99% sure he is lol my theory is, is that Plagueis has heard about these twins and has ordered Qimir to train one or Qimir is doing all this on his own cause eventually he needs to overthrow his master (we know the future, this won’t happen).

The bleeding crystal. The argument is “but anakins lightsaber didn’t bleed!$&&/“ yeah because his crystal wasn’t exposed. Did we miss the multiple shots of Sols exposed lightsaber and the blue crystal????? Osha bled the crystal cause she was touching it.

Was it romantic at the end? YES.

Anyway just needed to get this off my chest or hands whatever lol cause I’m seeing too many people not get this

literally the first thing I thought of!!!

Ahsoka vs Marrok (Ahsoka) | Sol vs Qimir (The Acolyte) ↪ for @azurecanary

when it's "burn the witch" they're shrieking

when the truth comes out it's quiet

I lose myself in a daydream

my girlssssss

I love when Star Wars is alien girls dual weilding green lightsabers
