The Acolyte
monition ! This place contain SPOILERS for The Acolyte !
Summary
Star Wars : The Acolytehas recognized one incredibly obvious aspect of Jedi relationship thatStar Wars — the prequel trilogy specially — was sorely miss . The Acolytedebuted with a two - episode premiere on Disney+ on June 4th , and it ’s already take major updates toStar Warsmovies and TV shows . From chunkier lightsaber designs to Force - Fu , The Acolyteclearly does n’t listen breaking with tradition , which makes sense feed its blank space intheStar Warstimeline .
As a prequel to the prequel trilogy , The Acolytehas a lot more flexibleness than otherStar Warsprojects have to change the rules of the plot ; after all , the High Republic Era , considered the golden age of the Jedi and the Republic , has yet to be shown on screen , meaning possibilities are widely loose . However , while some changes are really inventive , others are downright obvious . One such variety is all about the Jedi moral force , and , despite its obviousness , it was n’t evident in the prequels .
The Jedi Order is back and in full baseball swing in The Acolyte , but 100 twelvemonth prior to the Star Wars prequels , this show ’s Jedi Order is very unlike .
The Acolyte Remembers That Jedi Won’t Always Get Along
The Acolytehas drawn much more tending to the fact that , just because the Jedi share a philosophical system and a way of living , it does n’t mean they will work well together or even like each other . Yes , the Jedi had tense moments in the prequels ( mostly to do with Anakin Skywalker ) and Anakin was clearly ostracized , but there was a ecumenical sense of camaraderie that bury plenty of issues beneath the surface . out of doors of Anakin , who was certainly an unusual person in almost every room , the closest the prequels get to actual fight between the Jedi was Qui - Gon Jinn ’s defiance .
There was a general good sense of camaraderie that buried plenty of issues beneath the airfoil .
The Acolytehas already proven it wo n’t be following the prequel trilogy ’s pattern of harmonious decision - qualification and friendly relationship . In fact , although Master Sol convey sadness that Master Indara — whom he describe as his friend — had go , he remained emotionally remote while discuss her passing . Moreover , Master Sol already has n’t hesitate to review the Jedi ’s demand to conform to and come to an agreement over issues rather than take action at law when a trouble arise . So far , dynamics inThe Acolytehave been more redolent of the tense conversations among the New Republic senators inAhsoka .
Master Sol is a wise , highly respected , powerful Jedi Master , unassailable in the ways of the Force , who is going through emotional conflict .
Star Wars Has Forgotten That Some People Will Always Clash
Jedi Padawan Jecki Lon and Jedi Knight Yord also make clear that not all Jedi are going to get along . While , yes , Anakin and Obi - Wan had plenty of banter with one another , Jecki and Yord are much more genuinely incompatible to one another . In fact , Jecki clearly undermine Yord ’s plan at one point , and when Master Sol sides with Jecki , Yord is visibly get to . Ultimately , this is a much more realistic theatrical performance of how thing really would have work in the Jedi Order .
Jecki is the Padawan apprentice to Master Sol . Although she is young , she projects calm and conducts herself with matureness .
Yord , a Jedi Knight and guardian from the Jedi Temple , is an overachiever and a rule follower . His pauperism to be a by - the - book Jedi can cloud his thinker .

In truth , the Jedi of the prequel trilogy era were n’t really set about along so perfectly either . That ’s abundantly clear given the Jedi who left the club , from Count Dooku to Ahsoka Tano . There was mickle of tension , disillusionment , and even resentment within the Order that was going unaddressed .
There was plenty of tension , disillusion , and even rancor within the Order that was going unaddressed .
After all , sham to be Ahsoka ’s ally while really despising what the Jedi had become was how Barriss Offee initially successfully framed Ahsoka for execution . Perhaps this very unclouded being shake off upon the Jedi not always working well together inThe Acolytewill elucidate why the prequel trilogy Jedi , the Jedi Council in special , were so focused on being unanimously unified . For now , though , it ’s clear thatStar Wars : The Acolytewon’t shy away from the verity about the Jedi moral force inStar Wars .
