Ultimately , he appeared at the veryend ofThe Acolyte , with Rebecca Henderson ’s Vernestra Rwoh merging with him - presumptively to debrief him on the cover - up she was carrying out . This has course led to intense meditation Yoda will play a grown role , should Lucasfilm reincarnate the show forThe Acolyteseason 2 .
Speaking toEntertainment Weekly , The Acolyteshowrunner has sustain the finale ’s cameos were purposeful . “ If I could n’t do Plagueis or Yoda , I opine that would ’ve been a real grief , ” Headland allege . “ I think it sets up future storyline that could be really compelling . ” The light logical implication is that Yoda was n’t just a fan - pleasing Easter egg , but rather was designed setup for succeeding plot .
Here ’s everything you require to follow along with Star Wars : The Acolyte , from address and trivia to principal takeaways from each new instalment .
What Role Could Yoda Play In The Acolyte Season 2?
It ’s sensible to assumeThe Acolyteseason 2 will concentre on Vernestra Rwoh ’s quest for her former apprentice , the mysterious Sith Lord currently known only as the Stranger ( and play so well by Manny Jacinto).The Stranger ’s true identityremains a mystery decent now , but he is confirmed to be Vernestra ’s former Padawan , and it ’s been strongly imply Vernestra turned on him with her lightsaber party whip after he fell to the dark side . Vernestra sensed his bearing on Brendok , realizing he was still live , and has raise the amnesic Mae to serve .
Vernestra is presumably report in now to Grandmaster Yoda , seeking his wisdom and guidance . She seems to be an important figure in her own right - there are implication she is the Master of the Order , the role occupied by Mace Windu during the prequels - so they likely work side - by - side a great mountain . The partnership between Yoda and Vernestra sure enough excuse why Yoda will rick up more inThe Acolyteseason 2 .
The big question , though , is how much Yoda will ascertain . At present , it looks as thoughThe Acolyteintends to resolve a longstanding whodunit date stamp all the way back toStar state of war : Episode I - The Phantom Menace ; namely , how the Jedi learned about theSith Rule of Twowhen they believed the Sith were extinct . Yoda is likely to acquire this cognition as a result of Vernestra ’s seeking for the Stranger , although he surely wo n’t find out too much ; it ’s vital the Jedi Grandmaster is left believing the Stranger was not a true Sith , and the Sith Order is still extinct .

Headland has no estimation whetherThe Acolytewill be greenlit for a second season at this stage . AlthoughThe Acolyteperformed at a acceptable storey for Disney+ , it was an expensive show , and face up a secure backlash . If a decision is going to be made , it will plausibly be announced at this year ’s D23 - so only clock time will tell whether Yoda ’s account will continue in this way .
