The Acolyte
Summary
The Acolytehas just one episode to go , and these 10 major mysteries still have yet to be addressed . The Acolytehas brought something genuinely singular toStar Wars , not only because the show correspond a stain - new geological era oftheStar Warstimelineto be demo on screen , but also because it is the first ofStar Wars’movies and television showsto be a mystery thriller . This has imply a social structure very different from otherStar Warsprojects .
Rather than one major plot gimmick ( such as the franchise ’s most iconic , the reveal that Darth Vader is really Luke Skywalker ’s Fatherhood inThe Empire Strikes Back),The Acolytehas had innumerable shocking twists and reveals throughout its seven episodes . However , at time , this approach has also made room for countless lingering questions and , arguably , even some gaps . With just one episode leave , The Acolytestill has to address these 10 whodunit .
The Acolyte episode 7 has convinced me that Qimir is n’t the true Sith Lord in the show after all , and I think I sleep together who the existent Sith headmaster is .
10What Is Mae’s Reaction To Sol Telling The Truth?
Master Sol May Have Come Clean, But He Now Has To Face Mae
InThe Acolyteepisode 6 , Master Sol realized it was not Osha with him , but Mae , who had taken her baby ’s position to carry out her plan to kill Sol . While Sol uncovered this plot , it was n’t revenge or Mae ’s arrest or even a fight he was seeking . Instead , he simply want to revealwhat really take place on Brendok , presumably as a manner to ameliorate some of the price he ’d done and , perhaps , lessen his own guilt trip moderately .
Although episode 7 is not narrated by Sol , it ’s clear that , as the episode draft what happened on the nightthe witches of Brendokdied , Sol is tell apart Mae in the present 24-hour interval . However , it remains to be seen how Mae will oppose to Sol ’s confession . In the true , the events ofThe Acolyteepisode 7 make Sol look very much at break , so while he may hope this reduces Mae ’s desire to kill him , it could have the opposite effect . presumptively , instalment 8 will nibble up right where episode 6 left off and ultimately confirm Mae ’s reaction to Sol ’s storey .
9Is Mother Koril Still Alive?
The Witches Of Brendok Died, But Mother Koril May Not Have Been Among Them
The dying of the witches of Brendok inThe Acolyteepisode 3 was one of the show ’s most important mysteries , as it was immediately unclouded that all was not what it seemed . At first , Mae was presumed to be at fault for the decease of Osha and Mae ’s total coven , as both Osha and Master Sol referenced Mae starting a fervor that killed their folk . However , episode 3 fuddle that into question when it show the beldame ' consistence , and they were notably not burned . Ultimately , episode 7 confirmed that Mae had not in reality stamp out the witch .
Mother Koril could have make it that massacre on Brendok .
or else , Jedi Master Indara wipe out most of the witches in the coven ( possibly circumstantially ) when she was trying to aid Kelnacca be released from his ownership . However , Mother Koril did not seem to be among the dead . In fact , Koril ’s body was not shown among the organic structure of the return witches , nor was her dead body separately shown later , as Mother Aniseya ’s was . This means that Mother Koril could have make it that massacre on Brendok . If she did , The Acolytefinale has an incredible opportunity for one of the most shameful tress yet .
8What Is The Unknown Planet?
Qimir’s Island Planet Is Still A Mystery
The Unknown Planet is one of severalnew planet inThe Acolyte , but this one is easily the most cryptical and compelling of all . Obviously , the satellite does not have a name , but what makes it most enthralling is its importance to the plot and its connection to otherStar Warsshows and movies . In condition of the plot , the nameless Planet is presently the locating of Osha , The Acolyte’sprotagonist who seemed to so firmly be on the promiscuous side of the Force , and Qimir , the formerly masked scoundrel presumed to be a Sith .
While that would be delight enough , sequence 6 also heavily hint that a Romance language is brewing between the two , and it seems to be drawing Osha further and further away from the visible light . In terms of the largerStar Warsconnection , though , the Unknown Planet is highly remindful of Ahch - To , Luke Skywalker ’s obscure major planet in the continuation trilogy and the locating of the first Jedi Temple . The unsung Planet is confirm not to be Ahch - To itself , but in light of that connexion , it ’s intelligibly important . It will be up toThe Acolytefinale to identify exactly what this major planet is .
The strange Planet is support not to be Ahch - To itself .
7Is Qimir A True Sith?
There’s Been Plenty Of Speculation, But The Acolyte Still Has Yet To Confirm Qimir’s Sith Title
Qimir / the Stranger is likely the most celebrated character inThe Acolyte , at least in terms of interview reactions , and it ’s no surprise why . After roleplay the goofy pal character perfectly , The Acolyteepisode 5saw Qimir give away his true nature as a unpitying killer . In that installment alone , Qimir killed multiple Jedi , and he chillingly referred to Jedi Padawan Jecki Lon as"it"after killing her . He has since gone on to quite literally endeavor to seduce Osha to the dark side , taking a quick dip and then marching up to her shirtless on the Unknown Planet .
While this call the dour side of the Force , that does n’t needs intend he ’s a Sith . In fact , there ’s still plenty of debate about whether Qimir is a Sith or something else entirely , especially because there have been a number ofclues Qimir is n’t really a Sith Lord . Star Warsalsohas a number of other option , the most popular being that Qimir is rather the first Knight of Ren . Hopefully , The Acolytefinale will finally put this give-and-take to rest , confirming one agency or another if Qimir is formally a Sith or some other form of dark side Force - substance abuser .
6Does Master Sol Die?
Master Sol Is The Last Surviving Jedi On Mae’s Hit List
From the very root ofThe Acolyte , Mae ’s mission was clean . She wanted to hunt down and obliterate the four Jedi who had been stationed on Brendok when she was a shaver : Indara , Torbin , Kelnacca , and Sol . She very swiftly pop Indara and Torbin , and Qimir finally dispatch Kelnacca , meaning thatSol is the last Jedi standing . presently , Mae and Sol are effectively alone with one another , and while he may have her restrained for now , that ca n’t last forever .
From the very beginning ofThe Acolyte , Mae ’s missionary post was unmortgaged .
IfThe Acolyteis only move to be one time of year long , it would make signified for Sol to die in the stopping point . While it would be pitiful , as he is also a beloved character , his end would nail this electric arc and excuse why the Jedi of the prequel trilogy were n’t cognisant the Sith were alive at this time . However , The Acolyte’sshowrunner , Leslye Headland , has been very vocal about require more than one time of year , and , lately , Star Warsaudiences have verbalize that desire too . Of course , Sol ’s fate may be decided in the terminal sequence either way .
5Does Qimir Have A Sith Master?
If Qimir Is A Sith, He May Be The Sith Apprentice
It remains to be seen whether Qimir is a Sith , and there are inviolable opinions on both side of the debate , butif Qimir is a Sith , he almost certainly is the learner , not the overlord . For one , Qimir himself said he was seeking an acolyte , not an apprentice , which indicates that he is not presently a master . For another , though , Qimir is quite unlike from the other Sith overlord inStar Wars . Yes , all the Sith have a bit of recklessness in them and , for many of them , even immaturity , but Qimir would palpate developing as a Sith passe-partout .
Qimir would feel underdeveloped as a Sith captain .
Not only was Qimir unmask by a Padawan , but he also revealed himself to the Jedi rather than stay on in the shadows . Sure , otherStar WarsSith have made grave errors and odd choices at various clip , butQimir only does n’t seem train enough to be the Sith master . If that ’s the case , though , this still leaves the thrilling theory thatThe Acolyte’sfinale will in conclusion reveal the rightful Sith master , which could be an unbelievable plot of ground twist .
4Did Vernestra Rwoh’s Lightwhip Cause Qimir’s Scar?
Qimir’s Scar Seems Perfectly Fits With A Lightwhip
However , it ’s unclear exactly what that face-off would have bet like . While Qimir connote that it was his Jedi overlord who gave him the scar , he also said that he was very old — presumably , much older than he looks . In that case , it ’s uncertain whether Vernestra being his master would make sense in terms of timeline . It ’s possible that Vernestra was actually his Padawan and she attack him all the same . Of course , it ’s also more than possible that Qimir is an unreliable source and has intentionally misled Osha with these details .
3Does Osha Join The Dark Side Of The Force?
The Acolyte Episode 6 Heavily Hinted That Osha Is Heading Toward The Dark Side
One of the most lurid moment ofThe Acolyteepisode 6 was when Osha decided to stress on Qimir ’s masquerade party , signal a major step toward the dark side of the Force . ThroughoutThe Acolyteup until that point , Osha seemed securely on the light side ; in fact , Mae and Osha seemed to be reverse of one another in that way , with Mae on the dark side and Osha on the light . However , Qimir ’s corruption was understandably working , as Osha elect to put the helmet on after being tempt by it .
Osha ’s fealty remains up in the gentle wind .
Now , Osha ’s allegiance rest up in the air , and the finale could conceivably reveal that the twins have switched places , with Osha now on the disconsolate side , and Mae on the Light Within . Even if Mae does not forgive and conjoin Sol , though , Osha seems headed straight toward the dark side , perhaps even agreeing to become the acolyte Qimir so desperately seeks . As with most items on this list , this seems like quite a spot of story for one final episode to take on , but surely this is one motion that must be answered .
2Are Qimir And Osha Going To Have A Full-Blown Romance?
Audiences Went Wild When The Acolyte Suggested A New ‘Ship’ Is Brewing
Of course , Osha ’s decision about becoming Qimir ’s acolyte has received considerably less care online than the idea that Qimir and Osha might be leaning in a more romanticist way . This commence in instalment 5 when Qimir interrogatively draped a cloak over Osha and scratch her arm before taking her away to the Unknown Planet . installment 6 then doubled down on this , with Qimir take off his dress in front of Osha , teasing her about joining him , and then get physically tight to her several times , let in by stroking her weapon as she held a lightsaber to his neck .
This would n’t be the first timeStar Warsrevealed a relationship between dark side and wakeful side Force - users , and ' Reylo ' connexion have already been drawn by the showrunner herself . But now the question remains , will the finale really confirm a romance between Osha and Qimir?It seems , based on hearing chemical reaction on societal media , that many are hop it does .
1Will Osha Learn What Really Happened On Brendok?
Sol Might Have Told Mae, But He Hasn’t Told Osha
If Osha does n’t join the obscure side for Qimir , she might terminate up conjoin it anyway once she memorise what truly transpired on Brendok . Mae is surely lead to be furious upon get word Sol ’s confession , but for Osha , this pain will be so much worse . Mae has viewed Sol as the foeman from the beginning . Osha , solely to the opposite , sees Sol as a Church Father form , andshe has no thought that the Jedi on purpose misled her about what they did that night and pinned their law-breaking on her baby .
For Osha , this annoyance will be so much regretful .
It would be hard to blame Osha if she reacted this way to learning the truth ; while the Jedi clearly stand for well , they set aside Osha to intend her sister had kill their total family for well over a 10 . Frankly , what they did was cruel . It will be enthralling to see howThe Acolyteaddresses this major plot point , and these other remaining enigma , in the show ’s upcoming final episode ; the finale certainly has its work cut out for it .
The final sequence of The Acolyte releases on Tuesday , July 16th , at 9 PM EST/6 PM PST on Disney+ .
