Translation: machine translated

Half-time: Luca Fontana, Patrick Vogt and Ramon Schneider discuss, analyse and dissect the fourth of eight episodes of "The Acolyte", the new, dark "Star Wars" series on Disney+.

It was a nasty cliffhanger with which the fourth episode of "The Acolyte" ended: Whilst Luca and Patrick are having a go at the shortness of the episode,Ramon is quite happy when things get a bit racier for once. Of course, this Spoiler Factory episode is also full of deep dives: Luca explains how the "Rule of Two" came about, which stipulates that there can only ever be one Sith Master and one Sith Disciple. Patrick, on the other hand, reads from his new book: "Darth Plagueis".

Hosts

Luca Fontana

Luca is living proof that our parents lied: There are no square eyes from watching too much TV. Rumour has it that he was already watching "Star Wars" films and reading Marvel comics in his mother's womb. Today, after many years of field research, he knows his way around the Disney universe better than Al Capone in 1930s Chicago. He uses the same password for his 14 streaming subscriptions because otherwise he would forget them. The only people allowed to interfere with his "work" are his two cats.

Patrick Vogt

The Force must be with Patrick, as he saw the light of day in the same year as "Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope" (if you know, you know). His love for "Star Wars" is so great that he practices fight choreographies in the garden on balmy full moon nights, with Bo-Katan Kryze's helmet on his head and Kylo Ren's lightsaber in his hand. When he's not saving the galaxy, he fights side by side with Gandalf and Legolas against Saruman's Uruk-hai army, deploys Wolverine's adamantium claws or swings through skyscraper canyons like Spider-Man.

Ramon Schneider

When Ramon isn't bringing his friends to their knees with board games, he creates entire worlds out of Lego that would impress even Hollywood. To recover from the offline world, he dives headfirst into series and binge-watches with total dedication. His motto: "One more episode to go!"

I’ve always wanted to say: «I am Groot.» more
