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?

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!
