Yeah, I keep telling myself not to call them night sisters, then it slips out.  

lol.  I also totally forgot that Mae said “He’s here” which totally means it’s a woman.

In Legends stuff. All the EU stuff that came before Disney’s reboot of the expanded universe. A LOT of background stuff that about species has changed. Nothing was known, afaik, about Cerean lifespan in the new EU before now. 

I’m just shocked nobody busted my chops for saying coffee instead of caf.

Too much creamer, this coffee has

I’m still pretty convinced that this is the case. Whoever killed the wookie did it just before Mae arrived (the wound was still smoking), so that lets out anybody else. 

It seems like a misdirect to me. The more textual obvious answer is that it is one of the sisters who is out for revenge against the four jedi. That would tie the hidden master into the flashback story and show motive. It also gives a reason for the hidden master to prefer Mae (and telling her not to use a weapon to

It’d be kinda funny if this was like the medieval Kings of England, where every important person is named Edward, Charles or Richard.

I can’t buy Manny Jacinto as a truly evil bad guy. He’s just not... deep enough.

Yep. And, since I don’t watch the credits I would’ve never been the wiser. 

Then you get 10,000 articles written about what it means and how they will work him into the plot later, and double the streams of the show. 

I mean, I would actually love it if they had Yoda in the background casually walking out of the bathroom or something and calling absolutely no attention to it whatsoever. In my book, that’s how you do a good cameo.

I’m disappointed. I was told by a coworker The Acolyte was about “lesbian space witches”

When I saw him, I didn’t think, “Oh hey, Master Ki.”  I went, “Hmp.  It’s one of those tall-headed dudes.” and went on with my life.

If true, that’d be

Yeah I saw that Kel Dor Jedi and thought the same thing too, but apparently they’re named Ithia Paan

Fallout prompted people to complain a lot about it dropping all at once. People argued that they wanted community and engagement and simmering anticipation.

I don’t really mind having some appearances since this is only 100 years earlier, as I’m okay with species having varying life spans. I appreciate that this is a glimpse of the jedi knight Ki-Adi-Mundi, at a different point in his career, and otherwise not about him.

Hey at least they didn’t have Yoda casually waking by in the background with a coffee or something... yet. You know the temptation has to be huge.

Since his first appearance, I was convinced Manny Jacinto’s character was indeed the hidden master of Mae. Totally doing the hidden-in-plain-sight like Palpatine. But is the reveal of the character too early? Seems like they’re really trying to make it obvious now that he killed the wookie Jedi.
