Summaries

Plot Summary

This is a show that reflects the Light and Dark side of the Force. Not only by using twins that become Jedi7Sith, but also in structure. Th first half of the show (4 episodes) are bland, sanctimonious white lies, about how the Jedi help the weak against evil forces. They were the episodes that raised all critics: bland, derivative, dull. In episode #1, we learn a young assassin attacks - and successfully kills - a very powerful Jedi master. The description corresponds to a Padawan that abandoned the Jedi order many years ago - Osha. We learn Osha has an evil twin - Mae - and both come from planet Brendok where something happened 16 years ago, and now Mae is after revenge. In episode #2, we know more about old secrets being kept by the Jedi order about what happened in Brendok, and why four specific Jedi are being targeted. We also learn the two twins are most loyal to each other than to their purpose. In episode #3, we flashback to Brendok where, 16 years earlier, 3 Jedi and a Padawan find a coven of Magik-using witches, who are preparing two young twins to some evil magical ceremony. The Jedi intervene to protect the twins, and the envy of the evil twin causes an accident that provokes the death of the witch coven. But the good twin is saved by the goody-two-shoes Jedi, to be raised as Padawan. In episode #4, the hunt for the evil-twin reaches a planet where the last Jedi is hiding. Both the evil twin and her sidekick, and the good twin and her Jedi friends arrive at the same time, to find the Wookie Jedi had already been killed by a sith warrior that ambushes the Jedi. Mae decides to abandon the sith path to side with her twin sister. Enter second half of the show, the dark side: four amazing episodes! In episode #5, the sith warrior, who was disguised as the evil twin's sidekick, wreaks havoc in the Jedi forces, while a young Padawan named Jecky tries to capture the evil twin Mae. Several lightsaber battles end in the inevitable deaths of the Jedi at the hands of the sith. In the confusion, the evil twin takes the place of the good twin. Only the Jedi leader, Sol, escapes with the evil twin, unknowingly leaving the good twin at the mercy of the sith. In episode #6, we learn the sith is looking for an acolyte for years, but Osha seems reluctant to abandon the Jedi practices. In the meanwhile, Sol finds out he saved Mae, not Osha, and calls for help. In Coruscant, his leader, a former warrior called Vendresha (from the Star Wars games), is hiding some secrets too, as she resists to alert the council about the Jedi mission. The episode ends with Osha trying the sith helmet... Episode #7 is the mirror image of episode #3: in Brendok, 16 years earlier, a group of Jedi is looking for a life-creating Forve vergence. They find a coven of witches and, although they have no right to disturb them, Sol is taken by his own feelings for Osha and invades the coven, once the Jedi find Osha and Mae are not twins - but the same Force-created entity, split into two different bodies sharing the same midichlorian symbionts. It is the foolishness of the Jedi that create the chaos that kills the witches. The Jedi decide a pact to hide the truth from everyone, thus setting the plot for Mae's vengeance. Episode #8 ends with Osha finding the truth about what the Jedi did to her family. While Mae refuses the sith, the former Padawan Osha feels betrayed and surrenders to the dark side, killing Sol with a force choke and turning his blue lightsaber into a red one. Vendresha finds Sol's body and lies to the senate about his death, to protect the Jedi who are under political scrutiny for abuse of their power. The show ends with the sith warrior and Mae, hand in hand, in a mysterious planet, and the secret unravels: the sith warrior was not searching for an acolyte for him, but for his master, for the sith need TWO acolytes. The sith warrior can now start his apprenticeship alongside Mae, for their master: DARTH PLAGUEIS.
