Star Wars fans rejoice! ‘The Acolyte’ has delivered some of the best
lightsaber action we’ve seen in many years. Unfortunately, the good comes
with the bad. At least for the characters on the show. As expected, with
The Master/The Stranger fully entering the story, it meant that some Jedi
weren’t long for this world. That proved to be true more than I think
anyone expected. However, as Jecki herself said only last week, “It’s
always an honor to get to witness anything or anyone transform into the
Force”. Though I’m not sure she meant so soon. This episode was chock full
of brutal and surprising deaths and deep cut lore references, that I’m sure
satisfied even the nerdiest of Star Wars fans. And despite a character
reveal we all saw coming, many interesting questions remain unanswered as
we head into the final three episodes of the season. Julian and Rachel
break it all down, and predict what role the Sith have yet to play in this
story.
