Mae lighting the fire is a misdirect (duh).
This show is great, I have the feeling we’ll get another extended flashback down the line showing the events of ep.3 from somebody else’s perspective (the Jedi? or several perspectives). But anyway, I saw on a previous page that someone was recommending some youtubers who discuss this show, I’d like to chime in and give a shoutout to the What The Force podcast, I like their discussions because they analyze star wars from a mythological/storytelling perspective and this show has a lot to unpack in terms of symbolism and archetypes and such. They delve deep, just a little tease: they unpack how the poison tree is supposed to be a representation of the force.
By the way, do we think the sith apprentice teeth mask person was also present the night of the fire and thus integral to the whole plot from the start? Or nah
