So episode 3 is finally here and we need to break it down. So let’s get straight into it. We begin the episode on Brendok, 16 years before and we see Osha admiring the local fauna and demonstrating her force abilities. Mae interrupts Osha’s alone time and there is an interesting detail where we see Mae also use the force to hold the flying creature in place, but unlike Osha, she uses two hands in the way the witches would have taught them. Whereas Osha uses the force almost like how the jedi would, a more casual use of a single hand. Which really does set these two apart, with Mae being more committed to the coven then Osha. You could potentially also say that the fact Mae has to use two hands to hold down the creature while Osha only uses one, might suggest that Osha is the more powerful of the two. We learn from Mae that Osha is sitting under a Bunta tree, which is of course used earlier as a poison to kill master Torbin. We learn that Osha is dreading something called the Ascension and we hear the two of them recite their childhood saying. The two are found by Mother Koril who tells them they should not be out here. Mother Koril is of course a Zabrak, the same species as Darth Maul, and in the distance we see Sol spying on them. The twins are returned to the settlement of witches where they are then introduced to Mother Aneseya, the leader of the coven.
Koril and Aneseya discuss the Jedi sightings and the twins, and Koril says that the twins are not normal children. Which I initially thought simply referred to the fact that they can use the force, but as we learn later, it is much much more than that. We are then introduced to how the Coven perceive the force, something which they call a thread. Mother Aneseya goes on to say that some people call it the force and claim to use it, which subtly references the Jedi, and she goes on to say that the force or thread is not a power you wield. Instead it is something that binds you to others. And while Mother Aneseya clearly means it as a rejection of the Jedi way, in many ways what she is saying also closely mirrors Yoda's teachings on Dagobah (scene). Aneseya provides a demonstration and commands them to block her as she pushes them with the force. And notice how Mae immediately assumes a defensive position while Osha chooses to step behind her sister. It's an interesting dynamic and important detail that will be important later on. The training is interrupted when the mothers sense something and notice how Mother Korill immediately looks at this device that seems to be charged with electricity. The same device that seemingly explodes in later scenes.
Osha and Mae get ready, and Osha refuses to let Mae see her book. And as Osha asks Mae if she wonders what else is out there, Mae tells her no. And this is really just a reminder of how different the two are. Their diverging personalities and to that extent the different journeys they will embark on. There is also a moment where the twins mention that they are the only children around and we see the two witches doing their hair just sort of glancing at each other momentarily. It really just adds to the mystery of the whole situation. As the Ascension ceremony gets underway we learn that these witches are in supposed exile and persecuted by what seems to be alluded to as the jedi. Aneseya then talks about the miracle of life, referring to the birth of the twins, but as we see later. This might not very well be a miracle but an orchestrated event. In the background we see two planets crossing over each other and a thin line intersecting them, representing the thread. And as the ritual continues, you can see Mother Aneseya collecting the power of the witches which translates into this purplish glow. Mae takes the oath and the inscription that we see in her older version appears on her forehead. Osha is then about to take oath when they are then interrupted by the jedi. Mother Aneseya tells them to set aside their weapons, and as we see the Jedi walk in, it kinda feels as though they are strangers. There is this uneasy suspicious feeling that comes along when seeing the jedi from the perspective of the witches. Indara tells the witches that they did not realise the planet was uninhabited and Aneseya makes fun of them by remarking sarcastically that the all knowing jedi were unaware of their surroundings. Which is a call back to a very common jedi teaching of being aware of said surroundings (scene). Osha regards the jedi with curiosity and wonder while Mae is more distrustful, we then learn that the Jedi are here to...
