Star Wars: The Acolyte Ep 3: Destiny, Reviewed: Have These Witches Broken The Canon? Was That An Ancient Sith Species And Was This Episode Any Good?
Description
We continue the new era on-screen; Acolyte set during the High Republic! Tune in each week for Mike & different guests, and this week is Clone Wars Conversations co-host; Maff!
This week brings forth the lowest rated live-action Star Wars episode ever (as of recording this), so Mike & Maff ask the questions; is this episode any good? Do the witches break the canon? Is Mother Naasa a member of the ancient Sith species? The duo discuss their thoughts on the flashback, the many witches of Star Wars, force-sensitivity, the controversial “immaculate conception”, characters, toxic fandom and more!
Mike, Dave & Maff discuss episodes of The Clone Wars animated series every month and they’re currently in Season 3, so tune in wherever you’re listening to this and you can even watch on YouTube! https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcO1Ib_BGD8Y79aRWUxSWwdy3eyNrbXBl&si=fBj8GSeS3xZDLlsI
