The hosts call the episode a zero and say it changes canon around the Force.

1. Lost Hyperspace Podcast’s ANDOR After Show discusses ACOLYTE After Show Episode 3 and treats it as a major Star Wars controversy. 2. Matthew Manchester joins as co-host, and the hosts use their back-and-forth to argue about canon, the Force, and Disney’s choices. 3. The episode asks whether ACOLYTE Episode 3 is changing Star Wars lore or simply expanding what the Force can do. 4. The hosts focus on the idea that the Force can now help create children, and they compare that directly to Anakin’s mother being described as having no father. 5. They bring up George Lucas, Episode 4, and the line about the Force surrounding living things to argue that earlier Star Wars kept the Force mysterious. 6. Their discussion turns to Osha, her twin sister, and the witches who raise them, with repeated confusion about who the mothers are and what the group believes. 7. They say the witches use the Force, and they compare that setup to Nightsisters and Mother Talzin from The Clone Wars. 8. The hosts describe a scene where the girls are told not to go into a territory, then later return and face a food-related consequence. 9. They also talk through the children’s ceremony, the choir, and the cramped staging, which they compare to Disney Park props and a play. 10. The episode returns to the fire sequence, where they argue that a small fire from a burned book should not have destroyed so much so quickly. 11. One host says the episode feels like the worst Star Wars episode ever, and he gives it a zero or even a negative one. 12. They say the show introduced a new meme and that the black-screen aftermath is one of the few positive takeaways. 13. The conversation also covers a budget claim of $180,000,000, which they contrast with what they think the episode looks like on screen. 14. They repeat that Star Wars needs a “good story” first, and they reject the idea that representation can compensate for weak writing. 15. The hosts say they want a Star Wars story they can recommend as “good,” not just “OK” or “kind of back.” 16. They frame canon as central to their reaction, saying the episode destroys what they consider important Star Wars continuity. 17. The tone is heated, repetitive, and opinion-driven, with the hosts interrupting each other and circling the same complaints. 18. The format is a two-host reaction discussion that moves between plot recap, theory talk, and broad franchise criticism. 19. Star Wars fans focused on canon and lore complaints. 20. Viewers wanting a balanced review of ACOLYTE Episode 3.
