Master Sol - Blog Posts

Right??!!

And adding onto this, Indara tells him multiple times not to project his own emotions and wants onto the twins but we are very clearly shown that he does.

He says he feels a connection to Osha and that’s why he wants to save her but when Mae runs outside to get their mother he can’t tell it’s Mae and not Osha.

And on top of that, I do truly think that he’s trying to be what he perceives as good and morally right, but his own biases against the coven blind him. He falls back on the mindset that the show has criticized in past episodes where the Jedi supposedly think everything that isn’t their way of using the force is the dark side. Which… isn’t necessarily how the Jedi as a whole think, and Indara as the wise and leading Master on this mission proves it, but it is the same principle that we apply in irl debates where a few loud voices overshadow the minority. Sol, in this case with his actions not his words, causes a catastrophe that is based in this mindset and ultimately proves mother Aniseya right.

Of course it is not solely his fault (and I love how ultimately nuanced the situation is and not just “Jedi bad”) but him projecting his perception of the situation and acting out based on biases and assumptions are the catalyst that escalates everything. And, of course the most blatant thing that shows this, is him saving Osha over Mae, because Mae is already “tainted” (aka marked).

Overall I think this episode, combined with the other flashback episode, portrayed beautifully how biased we are in our own stories and perceptions and how this can affect the stories and perceptions of others.

the character work with sol in this episode was SO good. the way the show has built him up to be this ideal jedi, and then this episode strips it away, showing his hubris, showing how quick to judgment he is. throughout the episode, he insisted on interfering, over and over, because he was so sure of himself, so sure that the twins were in danger, that he knew what was best for them; he killed mother aniseya because he assumed that whatever magic she was using - magic that presumably was meant to transport mae away and save her - was violent in nature. and then she tells him in her final moments that she was going to let osha go, and there's all that guilt, that crushing realization that his assumptions were wrong, and at the end of the episode he wants to purge it all by telling the council - but indara is the one who points it out as selfishness; by confessing, he would be assuaging his own guilt while also destroying osha's chance to fulfill her dream of being a jedi. and so he takes osha on as his padawan, and he carries that guilt with him, every single day of his life. "i've accepted my darkness; what have you done with yours?"

Can we just agree that Kelnacca was the most sane one in this whole show in this new episode No bad dialogue, no confusing characterization, no crappy fight scenes.

Nah, this man just showed up, kicked ass, then died. What a legend.
