The Acolyte
Summary
Dafne Keens’Jecki Lonshould probably have a bad feeling about the red - bladed shape in episode 5 ofThe Acolyte . It ’s not often that you see a Jedi Padawan confront off against a Sith Lord . But based onthe ending ofThe Acolyteepisode 4 , " Clarence Shepard Day Jr. , " and some trailer footage yet to be find out in the show , it seems that is on the dot what will befall in the next episode , premiering on Tuesday night .
Master Sol ’s second Padawan has avoided major peril thus far in the series , prefer for duty far off from combat . After all , she is still only a Padawan learner and has n’t even completed her lightsaber training ; this is her first military mission . And even though Jedi Knights ( and an adorable tracker ) environ her on Khofar , I do n’t thinkJecki has enough shelter to make it home in one part .
Here ’s everything you need to pursue along with Star Wars : The Acolyte , from reference and triviality to primary takeaways from each new sequence .
We’ve Seen Footage Of Jecki Attacking The Sith Lord
Come on, we KNOW how that will end
Lucasfilm has eject a number of thrilling trailers forThe Acolyte , and one shows Jecki dual - exert green lightsabers as she maintain herself againstthe mysterious Sith Lord . If that is indeed a Sith Lord under the mask , Jecki does n’t support a opportunity . It ’s also not a bully signboard that she is fighting the soma alone . If Sol or Yord were conscious , they ’d likely put themselves between the dark - sider and the Padawan .
It ’s also possible that the half - Theelin is n’t kill , but rather taken by the Sith Lord as a Modern learner . A young Force - exploiter who is already armed combat - train could be quite the addition for the Sith . And showrunner Leslye Headland may just be too fond of Jecki to kill her off . In a imperativeness excursion withCollider , Keen think of when Headland " say to me that her favorite species of alien was a Theelin , and she need to give that to me . ”
Amandla Stenberg Promised “A Girl Fight” That Gets “Gnarly”
And we’ve seen Mae’s knife to Jecki’s throat…
Meanwhile , Amandla Stenberg has teased agirl fight inThe Acolyteepisode 5- one she considers a high spot of the show . As she explain in an interview with Screen Rant :
" I do n’t desire to say too much , butthe stunt or succession that I ’m the proudest of is a female child fight that gets knobbed . "
This could , of course , be a fight between Mae and Osha , or even some flashback involving Master Indara . But the good bet is that Stenberg is cite a Jecki - Mae fight . Even if Jecki somehow pull round the Sith Lord , she will still have to consider with his apprentice .

Another shot inThe Acolytetrailers show Mae holding one of her throw knives to Jecki ’s throat . It ’s hard to believe that Mae ’s master would take into account her to keep the young Jedi live . And after seeing what Mae did to Indara with those knives , the assassin should be capable to throw out of Jecki reasonably rapidly .
Perhaps the trailers were designed to mislead the viewer . Perhaps Sol ’s Padawan hold up the ordeal on Khofar and lives out the eternal sleep of her days as a Jedi Knight . But all signs direct to a very bad end for Jecki Lon inThe Acolyteepisode 5 .
