Sol doesn't clarify that she was turning into a shadow monster?

He realized that was wrong as soon as he killed her. Maybe he could've explained why he thought that, but it would've come across as making excuses. The rest I don't disagree with.

He could have explained it still and it would have been fine if Osha just doesn't accept it, but you should at least get the truth out there & make sure your communication is clear.

In fact having her deny it may have been more interesting. Have it clearly show how revenge or hate were clouding her mind from logic and understanding.

I mean he knew she wasn't turning into a shadow monster. He reacted because he thought she was killing Mae, and he could've said that, but it wouldn't make it any better because he was arrogant and fearful of any use of the force outside of the Jedi way. That's not any kind of exoneration even if he had explained it.

Why was he wrong though? She's either mind controlling or killing someone by going all evil shadow like that. Her doing that is totally a justifiable reason to react the way he did. Especially since she already mentally assaulted the padawan in their first meeting.

It's been a minute since I've watched it, but as I recall she was just teleporting or something. The dark shadows were just a visual to get there. They telegraphed this a short while earlier. I guess I have to rewatch it since it's in question, but at the time of watching it I felt it was clear that's exactly what was going on.

The only other person we see go all shadows is the horn lady, and then wookie jedi starts attacking.
