Spoilers Star Wars: The Acolyte [Spoilers]

Maybe he already knows and is just playing along.

I don't think he does, because he wouldn't leave Osha to just wake up alone on the planet. He would have confronted Mae.

Unless Sol is really... EVIL.

Oh another possible Han Solo Adventures callback. That also featured a small, non-mobile droid.

The young Jedi novels used a small translator droid for Lowbacca to use. He wore it around his neck.

Ok, so, let me see if I understand this correctly.

Sol, the Jedi master, who can tell that a wookiee is dead through walls, even though he never actually sees it, cannot tell the difference between the padawan that he trained for a decade, taught how to move, how to walk, basically everything, and her twin sister, who knows absolutely nothing about her twin, having thought she was dead for a decade or two after spending a few hours with her walking through the jungle?

And you think this is good?

And, just to be fair, I'm not saying that I hate Star Wars, so, posting snarky memes isn't helping. I'm saying that the last two episodes of THIS SHOW are full of so many holes that I am not enjoying it. Like I said, we'll see how this week goes and if it's on the same level as the last two episodes, this is going into my, "Welp, not watching that anymore" pile. I have an extremely low bar for a lot of entertainment. But, boring and insultingly stupid do tend to turn me off.

All I can say is

Yes.

I think it is good.

You consider these holes, and problems.

I can't say that I do. I don't need an in universe reason why Sol can't tell the difference. For me, for the story I think they are trying to tell, it makes sense. Does it make logical sense? Nope. Does it make objective sense? Nope. Does it make narrative sense? For me. Yes.

Because I don't see this as a story about objective facts. It is all about perspective. And how as Sol says in Episode 1 "You're eyes can decieve you, don't believe them." I think that is a major thesis of this show, and its narrative thrust. So, things like what you noted above, to me, are not concerning, because they simply aren't important to what I think they are trying to do in this show.

Which is totally fair.

At least you'll accept that these might be holes. That's a pleasant change from being told I'm too stupid to understand the show.

For me, it's just getting to be a bridge too far. Like I said, I get the narrative. I'm just not engaged enough by the narrative that I am willing to overlook these things. At the end of the day, I just find that I don't actually care about these characters and the, to me, glaring inconsistencies just get more pronounced.

What I think is that this is a minor plot hole as a Jedi Master wouldn't be fooled by the twin thing.

It's not nearly as bad as in Revenge of the Sith when Padme has twins and everyone in a futuristic society, as well as the Jedi in her life, were all surprised. And she had a name ready in about half a second! We'd have known that about those twins in about 6-8 weeks here on Earth.

Edit: That meme wasn't aimed at anyone here. I've just heard talk about some of the more rabid fans over time and thought folks would appreciate it.

There is a long history in Star Wars of the Dark Side being able to blind people. My head cannon is that it's like a perpetual mind trick, making people see what they want to see instead of what is right in front of them.
