Hello my fellow Star Warriors and welcome to my SPOILER ALERT review of the second episode of The Acolyte. May the Force be with you!

I have said it before and I will say it again - the silhouette parade of Star Wars never gets old, because it triggers memories of characters past.

I mean, come on, Darth Vader, R2-D2, C3PO and other old metalheads getting together with Mando and Boba Fett is quite awesomax, frankly.

Nostalgia is a powerful emotion, as you may know if you have read In Search of Lost Time by Marcel Proust. It's an old book, yes, but it has inspired me to create my Android series, and I named the first volume An Android Awoke, to be followed by An Android Dreamt and continued with An Android Lived. You can check out my travel book, A Life Afloat, if you are interested in how my mind works through the words I write.

But enough self-promotion, which I deem a bit necessary in today's life.

The first episode set up the series nicely, as a sort of Face/Off scenario. I loved that movie, with its very weird premise and over the top acting by two extraordinary actors I admire, Nicholas Cage and John Travolta. Pulp Fiction is on my wall, and I make shorts which are gone in 60 secs.

Read my review for more about E1 as we step into the second episode! :)

Straight off the bat, the titular Acolyte begins a fight against another Jedi Master, after - SPOILER ALERT, AGAIN - killing Carrie Anne-Moss's Master Indara in the first episode. I know, Indara is yet another rip-off of Indian mythology, after Ahsoka being two letters flipped from Ashoka.

I paraphrase Jedi quote 3 : "Don't let fear interfere with your judgment."

Yeah? You see what I did there? I love alliteration, in fact I did a whole footballing terms video about it, watch it here if you like football, too.

There is a pop-culture reference to Men In Black with the memory wipe.

That was a good first movie too, with Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones. I was reading The Salmon of Doubt by Douglas Adams and he compared it to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy when it was not yet filmed.

And two more callbacks to stock Star Wars phrases: I have a bad feeling about this, and "IT'S A TRAP" [Admiral Ackbar, parodied in Family Guy].

This is the kind of neat little spiral I am constantly noticing in my life. Just yesterday Adwitya my little baby daughter and I watched that 2-part episode in which they make fun of yet another Star Wars movie.

The episode title is name-dropped in the dialogue between Master and Padawan. Sorry, former Padawan. I'll make a short on this for Instahyre.

Circling back to face offs, the twin sisters reconnect for a bit, only for one to shoot at the other and miss. Isn't that what families are about?

On that note, we come to an end of the second episode of the Acolyte.

Share with me in the comments what you think about Star Wars, and life, the universe, and everything. Thank you so much for watching! :)
