The Acolytehas loose its first three episodes , and it ’s already proven full of surprises . As the newest improver tothe chronology ofStar Warsmovies and TV show , The Acolytehas deal to live up to , but , so far , the show has rip it off by including lurid details in every single episode .
Although trailers forThe Acolytehad seemingly only depicted Mae — one character — The Acolytetwo - episode premiererevealed that there were actually two characters , mate Mae and Osha . Although the premiere set the twins up as being on two sides of the Force , Osha on the clear side and Mae on the iniquity , the third episode , " Destiny , " suggested that not everything is as it seemed . Now , the secret toThe Acolyte’slatest plot of ground twist may have been disclose in the most unconvincing place , more than a decade ago .
The Acolyte episode 3 answer some major dubiousness ; however , it ’s left audiences with even more questions about what happened on Brendok .
The Acolyte’s Showrunner Described The Show As “Frozen Meets Kill Bill”
The Acolyteshowrunner Leslye Headland name to the show as being interchangeable to the moviesKill Billand Disney’sFrozen . patently , these two motion-picture show are worlds aside in term of their mental object and their target demographic , so that description was like a shot of involvement . Between the two , Kill Billmade the most sense . Throughout trailers forThe Acolyte , grapheme spoke about a mysterious assassin buy the farm around kill Jedi , and Mae was show engaged in an epic battle with Jedi Master Indara .
The Acolyteshowrunner Leslye Headland referred to the show as being like to the moviesKill Billand Disney’sFrozen .
However , based on those very same plot points , it was downright bewildering that Headland would compareThe Acolyteto a Disney princess movie about two sister . Once it was revealed that Mae was not a solo theatrical role but rather a twin , this made a bit more sensation ; however , simply being sister was n’t a strong enough connection to the patch ofFrozenfor that comparing to make sensory faculty .

The Acolyte Has Already Hinted At Mae Not Being Fully Responsible
Osha and her former maestro , Jedi Master Sol , discussed what had happened in Osha ’s childhood , key Mae as the antagonist who intentionally glow down the twins ' home on Brendok , killing their entire family in the process . At first , this seemed more than likely . Mae had already been indicate kill Jedi in the first two episodes , and two more Jedi remained on her smasher tilt .
However , when Mae visited the second Jedi she killed , Jedi Master Torbin , she gave him the option of either taking poison or confessing what he ’d done to the Jedi Council . Not only did Torbin choose poison over confession , but also , he apologized for the mysterious event , telling Mae the Jedi had suppose they were doing the right-hand matter . This level of remorse suggest Mae might not be entirely at fault .
Moreover , inThe Acolyte’sthird episode , the event itself is depicted from Osha ’s percentage point of view . While Mae ’s perspective is yet to be revealed , the circumstance of the expiry of their mothers and the entire coven ofthe Witches of Brendokare extremely suspicious and nod toward Mae not being their cause of death . Although Mae does adjust fire to the twins ' way and menace to kill Osha , the bodies of the deceased Brendok beldam were not burned .
The bodies of the deceased Brendok witches were not burn .
Star war : The Acolyte has just let go of its third episode , and one key tragedy may have just give away the dark part of the Jedi ’s history .
The Acolyte Will Need A Better Big Bad
If this is the game twistThe Acolyteis setting up , then the show will need a much better baddie . Mae was positioned as one of two main adversary in the show ’s trailer , the other being a disguise Sith who has n’t yet been revealed . While she clearly is a villain in the show — she ’s killed multiple Jedi , after all — this twist would diminish her role in that regard . More importantly , Star Warshas already had a game twirl unwrap a villain lineament who was incorrectly incriminate of murdering people by sic a blast .
InThe Rise of Kylo Rencomic book , it was bring out that , contrary to what Luke Skywalker believed , Ben Solo / Kylo Ren had n’t set fire to his Jedi Temple . Rather , a deadbolt of lightning ( therefore , likely Palpatine again ) shine the Temple , pop out the fire , which appall Ben . Star Warshas had a fleck of a villain trouble ever sinceStar Wars : The Rise of Skywalkerbrought back Palpatine rather than lease Kylo Ren be the ' big badness . ' HopefullyStar Wars : The Acolytewill avoid repeating this mistake by ditch the recycled plot line and infix a brand - new , even scarier villain .
