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.
