3 Things Acolyte Fails At

Since the premiere Novicefound himself at the center of controversy. First, for stirring up all sorts of controversy, and then for seemingly directly questioning the Canon star WarsThe story of Osha and Mae (Amandla Stenberg in a dual role) not only challenges fandom is more conservative in its approach to the franchise’s core themes. It also makes it clear that the saga created by George Lucas faces the challenge of developing and exploiting its core elements without losing its essence. In fact, the series tries, and in some ways succeeds. But at other times he seems to lose the pulse and firmness to explore the most striking turns of his argument.

Specifically, the very last episode in the universe star Wars is faced with a dilemma. It is a story about an era that has never been delved into. live action and do so in such a way that his arguments are consistent with everything that has been said so far. Which leads to Novice to thinking about some of the most important scenarios of “Star Wars”. What is the Force and who has the right to use it against the nature of evil. The truth is that the plot delves into all sorts of situations and circumstances that imply serious changes in the Canon of G and the special, Literary Canon. AndIn particular, in the interactions between the Jedi, the Sith, and the history that both versions of the Force share with each other.

However, despite his attempts (some of them interesting), Novice fails to embrace its ambitious premise. Much more, clearly telling everything that the plot seems to encompass, amid a map of increasingly complex situations. To demonstrate this, we leave you with three of the production’s most notable failures. From its way of explaining an essential moment to an unexpected twist with little context that distorts its central theme. Demonstrating that Star Wars has yet to find a balance between its most repetitive ideas. spread your story to a new generation.

A little explanation about Force sensitivity.

Most of the history Noviceexplores three main ideas. On the one hand, the historical moment when the Jedi Order was at its most powerful, with all the political and moral consequences that entails. On the other hand, everything about their actions, as a consequence of the above. Meanwhile, this topic has always been discussed in star Warsabout who should use the Force and how to do it. Can this ability be spontaneous and without any control? Or should the Jedi always have direct intervention in circumstances that require it?

This is not a new theme in the franchise. In 2017, Star Wars Episode VIII – The Last Jediturned Canon on its head by suggesting that the Force was an attribute that the Jedi didn’t need. So much so that the structure of the Order became completely unnecessary. Of course, this perception shocked fans, and the saga took a step back. Star Wars: Episode IX – The Rise of Skywalker (2019) But despite everything, the possibility raised by Rian Johnson remained open on the matter.

Novice He gets back to business, but he does so clumsily. Following the example of The Witches of Dathomir, he demonstrates a new form of Force sensitivity. This time, it concerns a coven of witches living in exile on the planet Brendoc. But the argument not only fails to delve into the origins, much less what surrounds this powerful group. Instead, it focuses solely on showing what they are capable of. This includes creating life through the Force in unnatural ways.

An important concept that contradicts itself without much explanation.

Who, how, and in what way can use the Force is of great importance in star Wars. Not only that, it’s what allowed us to better understand the importance of the Jedi. Also the position of the Sith. So the plot of the series is only intended to show that there are other ways to use the mysterious energy. This seems unimportant compared to how significant and vivid this point of view is.

If there are covens scattered throughout the universe, and they can all create life — and in the case of Osha and Mai, they are Force-sensitive — this twist will carry a lot of weight going forward. Not just for understanding the mythology of the franchise, but how such a scenario is expressed. Novicedoes not do so, but leaves such a question open to a kind of free interpretation. Which, of course, undermines and detracts from the solidity of its plot.

Layers of situations that are not resolved sooner or later

The series began as a procedural, centered around the murder of Jedi Master Indara (Carrie-Anne Moss). It was soon revealed that this was not just a random crime, but something of a series of connected deaths. This led to the emergence of the Jedi Order, specifically the Temple on Coruscant. to confront what seemed to be a threat to a group of its members.

But the identity of the killer was revealed hastily and without much ceremony. Mai, the twin of former Jedi Osha, corrupted by the dark side of the Force, was carrying out what seemed like a ruthless vengeance. Which downplayed the significance of Indara’s death. Or at least, it ceased to be relevant in future productions, other than being the cause of it all. The same could be said for the mass murder of the Brendoc witches, and then the death of the Jedi team on Hofhar. Novice continues to accumulate serious and increasingly complex events, which are never fully resolved.

Especially when they seem completely unrelated to what should now be the show’s main theme. Master Sun (Lee Jung-jae) has shown that he’s not entirely trustworthy. Or at least that there’s a dark dimension that hasn’t been revealed yet. So all of the above becomes weak, because it can’t match what would undoubtedly be the show’s biggest event. There’s a big question mark over many other circumstances that the show doesn’t address. A mistake that is difficult to overcome, given his ambitions.

And now… Amazing sexual tension.

In Episode VI, with Osha in the hands of the dangerous Kimir (Manny Jacinto), the former Jedi seems closer than ever to falling to the dark side. It seems to be on the verge of happening when, at the end of the chapter, he dons a cortosis helmet in search of what appears to be the sensory deprivation the Sith mentioned. This is when explaining the workings of one of the most terrifying items in his arsenal.

But to get to that point, the show had to go through a scene that doesn’t make much sense in terms of how the nature of the Force has been explored so far. Up until that point, Osha and May had disagreed on the use of the mysterious energy because of their beliefs about its use, and in the latter’s case, their thirst for revenge. How to get to Osha’s corruption point? According to the same show, it must be because it’s connected to his past. and his inability to overcome the pain of loss he experienced very early on.

However, Kimir ignores all this and points out Osha’s secret vulnerability… Which apparently turns out to be a hidden desire she feels for him. Thus, it is shown – and hinted at – in an erotic manner, to the point of maintaining what seems to be a sexual tension that no one has yet foreseen. The easiest way Novice? Without a doubt, this is true, but also the least reliable. in the web of data and information he has so far woven around his characters.
