The Acolyte - Episode 2

Although her assassination attempt on Olega is thwarted by being unable to reach Master Torbin (Dean-Charles Chapman), Mae‘s  (Amandla Stenberg) the attempt clears Osha (Stenberg) of any crime given she was in the custody of the Jedi at the time. Although we’ll have to wait another episode to start filling in Mae’s motivations, the second episode of the series does confirm the exact number of Jedi she’s hunting and their relationship to Mae and Osha’s homeworld of Brendok.

Tales of the Empire - The Path of Hate

“The Path of Hate” is a disappointing end to the Morgan Elsbeth (Diana Lee Inosanto) storyline.

Of all the possible stories to tell over her life, this seems one of the least interesting as its giving us basically the version of the character we’ve already seen in The Mandalorian rather than expand her story by showing us something new as she brutally kills and destroys rather than gives in.

Will Smith and Martin Lawrence return once more, this to to clear the name of their former captain (Joe Pantoliano who appears in flashbacks and shitty artsy-fartsy dream sequences). Thrown in are the obvious bad guy hiding in plain sight along with the returning Vanessa Hudgens, Alexander Ludwig, and Paola Núñez.
