Elysia and John are back to break down episode 4 of The Acolyte season 1 – “Day.” One calls it half an episode, the other the pivot point in a mirror image. Their scene-by-scene walkthrough picks out telling character moments, the most important lore, the silliest hashtags, and what the actors have said about their motivations in scenes. And then Elysia drops another non-Jedi/Sith Force-user lorebomb, mining Canon and Legends alike for some of the most unusual types of Force users in the galaxy.

A flashback episode set 16 years before everything we saw in the first two episodes of The Acolyte offers the beginnings of answers – and Elysia and John mine episode 3: “Destiny” for all possible hints of what happened that night, what we might see next, and lore worth knowing.

But first, fellow Lorehounds host David joins them for a soul-searching opening conversation on the nature of power, parenthood, the place of science in fantasy, and what it means to be a Jedi.

We now know who is killing Jedi – so in this deep dive into the second episode of The Acolyte on Disney+ John and Elysia ask why. Is it for “Revenge / Justice”? They break down means and motives, Jecki and Qimir's jokes, Force witches, the relative sussness of all the characters so far, and as always Yord's hair.

The mystery deepens. The wookiee Jedi roars “GET OFF MY LAWN!” Sol shines as a beacon of hope…so far.
