This clause contains spoiler for The Acolyte episode 3 .
Summary
But the mystery is n’t what it seems to be . Most viewer assumed the central question surround the Sith assassin Mae , who has targeted four Jedi for death . The Acolyteepisode 3 peeled back another stratum , revealing the honest mystery surrounds events that took place some 16 old age ago . These events separated thetwins Osha and Mae , with one becoming a Jedi Padawan ( for a time ) and the other apparently becoming a Sith bravo . The Acolyteepisode 3 advisedly told only half the story , Osha ’s compass point of scene , and I think I ’ve reckon out Mae ’s beforehand of a second inevitable flashback episode .
Here ’s everything you need to follow along with Star Wars : The Acolyte , from references and trivia to independent takeaways from each new instalment .
There’s Clearly So Much More To The Story Of Brendok
Master Torbin’s death proves that
For me , the key to Brendok lie not in the flashback sequence but in the death of Master Torbin . A Padawan during the issue at Brendok , Torbin eventually retreated from Jedi affairs after taking theBarash Vow- an cuss of penitence for a Jedi who believe they have failed . When Mae confronted Torbin , she offered him a alternative between taking a poisonous substance call Bunta and confess " his crime " to the Jedi Council . The clear deduction is that Torbin and the Jedi on Brendok did something 16 years ago , something they ’ve been covering up but rue deeply .
Supporting this possibility , it ’s pretty reset the Jedi have their own ( mis)adventure unseen inThe Acolyteepisode 3 , which only shows Osha ’s point of view on those fateful events . Osha is almost killed when her sister lights a ardor , one that she believes killed all the rest of her family of witches on Brendok - but those consistency are n’t burn at all . In contrast , when the Jedi saving Osha , they are already disheveled and seem to have gone through a battle . Torbin in special is scarred and injured . Osha missed a lot , and the Jedi are hiding something .
Mother Koril’s Absence Is Deeply Suspicious
Is she a Sith Darkseeker?
But that brings me to the next question : how did a Sith discover Mae , claim her in as an acolyte?The Acolyteepisode 3 shocked viewers by reveal the coven on Brendok seems to have a Force might that ’s only been mentioned before - the power to coax the Midi - chlorians into creating sprightliness . This power is alluded to by Mother Aniseya in one conversation with Mother Koril , and she hint that the Gemini were born because of this Force power . This power is associated with Darth Plagueis , Palpatine ’s mentor , and this must be where he get word it .
The Darkseekers scoured the galaxy look for potetial rival dark side cults .
But where are the Sith on Brendok ? My suspicion is that they are hiding in sheer sight . In ancient times , aSith faction screw as the Darkseekersscoured the wandflower face for possible rival dark side cults . The Darkseekers tended to infiltrate other cults , learn their secrets , and then kill them . When I watchedThe Acolyteepisode 3 , I could n’t help but be prompt of the Darkseekers , especially because the coven finish up wipe out . That means I was in particular funny when Mother Koril ’s eubstance could n’t be seen among the fallen witches .

I think Mother Koril is in fact a Sith infiltrator . She ’s the one most implicated about the danger of the coven being find out by the Jedi . Even more disturbingly , when Osha decides she wants to go with the Jedi , Mother Koril is asked to take Mae outside to lecture to her . The next thing we see , Mae is test to kill her baby . Meanwhile , if Mother Koril were a underground Sith it would explain how Mae got postulate with them , ultimately becoming an acolyte .
Here’s What I Think Happened On Brendok 16 Years Ago
The Jedi never knew the truth
I recall it ’s possible to put all these pieces together , figuring out what really happened on Brendok 16 year ago . If I ’m right about Mother Koril , she is a Sith infiltrator who could n’t put on the line the Jedi find out how hefty the coven really were . She took extreme measures when Osha make up one’s mind to fall in the Jedi , control Mae into starting the flaming . Meanwhile , I think she kill the coven through poison - through the poison from the bunta Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree Mae is see tolerate in front of at the end ofThe Acolyteepisode 3 .
But what about the Jedi ? Here ’s where I think the story becomes peculiarly dark . The Acolyteepisode 3 disclose thewitches of Brendokhave the power to own others , even managing to bypass the mental shell of a Jedi Padawan . I guess Mother Koril - or , perhaps , other members of the cult she ’d manipulate - possessed the Jedi , turning them against one another . It ’s even possible Torbin was the one who poison the witch ' water supplying , explicate his guiltiness . The Jedi do n’t empathize what happened , but believe they ’re to fault .
This theory is utterly in keep with the method of the Sith . They excel at subterfuge , and they work heavily to ensure others take the blame for their action . If I ’m correct , the Jedi believe they were responsible for for an atrocity 16 years ago , and they truly finger a deep sense of guilt and regret ; but they have no estimation that their actions were due to the pervasive influence of the Sith . It ’s a dark hypothesis , but it would be utterly in keeping withThe Acolyte , and it would fit perfectly withStar Warscanon .
