Translation: machine translated
The spoiler factory picks up speed: Luca Fontana, Patrick Vogt and Ramon Schneider discuss, analyse and dissect the third episode of "The Acolyte", the new, dark "Star Wars" series on Disney+.
The third round of "The Acolyte" is underway: Luca has dug deep into "Star Wars" lore to tell the true story of the immortality of Darth Plagueis the Sage, the subject of many a legend since "Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith" has been the subject of many a legend. Patrick, on the other hand, draws parallels with the high-fantasy series "The Wheel of Time", while Ramon didn't really warm to the third instalment - providing plenty to talk about.

Hosts
Luca Fontana
Luca is living proof that our parents were lying: 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, extends 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!"
