Am I the only one that felt like they spoiled the whole plot in the first episode? Like the twin thing could have been a big mystery but we already know what’s going on. Also we see the evil twin’s master (whoever it is), so we know it’s a Sith plot.
for the record, it could be a generic Dark Jedi, not a Sith.
We still don’t know who they are. We also don’t know why they’re making a big deal about not using weapons. it could just be a generic assassin rite of passage thing… and it’s Disney so they probably won’t go any deeper there even if they set it up… but it could also be some sort of very intriguing philosophical beef.
I’m leaning Sith right now if only because Jason Qimir started in on “peace is a lie” for that split-second.
I do think “philosophical beef” is probably the right answer, though. Because if some random orphan, taking Forcin’ classes part-time on a beach with some shady-lookin’ drifter, can not only match but surpass a Jedi master in a Force-off… That’s gotta do some serious damage to the Order’s reputation, right? Especially if it comes out that the Jedi specifically failed to train her identical twin? Imagine you’re one of the parents whose child went off with the Jedi because it was the “best way to realize their cosmic destiny”, never to see them again because the order drills “attachments are spiritual poison” into their heads from childhood, and suddenly you find out that, basically, homeschooling was an option the whole time? Now you start thinking maybe those “enlightened peacekeepers” training your kid to “harness their spiritual potential” might just be… kidnapping children and indoctrinating them into their weird death-cult to raise a galaxy-spanning theocratic paramilitary with a forced monopoly on psychic phenomena, against which the common denizen has no defense — who are, incidentally, hoarding all knowledge pertaining to their Order’s history, philosophy, training, and religious practice on inscrutable magic prisms that only they know how to open and read, which they keep in a locked vault in the back of their heavily-guarded stronghold. Trust in the Jedi erodes, maybe folks are a little more hesitant to send the youngsters off to Force Camp, and the Jedi Order either stagnates without new recruits or they start taking drastic measures which will, of course, only erode the public trust more, rinse and repeat until the Jedi go exctinct, and the Sith kick back with a couplea space brewskis and have a grand ol’ chuckle. “Kills the dream” indeed.

I’m hoping this means they have gotten the “too obvious” plot points out of the way and can now dig into some other aspects of the story.
The twins and the Sith are both things anyone could have predicted, just from the trailers.
Fingers crossed: Sol has a really compelling character arc.

I’m actually kind of glad they resolved the twin thing right away, dragging it out would have belabored the point.

Exactly. But the sith and dark Jedi have a lot of history, it’s possible the creed was adopted by the sith from the dark Jedi.
Also, that’s exactly what the Jedi do. Depending on the era, the my stole babies because they were easier to

Remember what he said? They don’t kill the Jedi. They kill the dream.
