What ’s the in effect mode to view Star Wars ? Here ’s everything you demand to know to determine in spillage or timeline order , and how to include the TV show .
10Osha Will Commit Herself To The Way Of The Sith
Learning The Truth And Joining The Stranger
As seen inThe Acolyteepisode 6 , Qimir aka The Stranger ( Manny Jacinto ) confirmed that his cortosis helmet acted as a sensory want gimmick , allow for a stronger link to the Force due to limited distraction . As such , the episode ends withOsha ( Amandla Stenberg ) donning the helmet herself , presumptively to reconnect with her own power in the Force she had n’t used since get out the Jedi Order before the event of the series . As such , the revelations made inThe Acolyteepisode 7 and its flashback to her childhood on Brendok suggest thatOsha may now squeeze the past of the dark side with Qimir .
InThe Acolyteepisode 7 , it was revealed thatSol ( Lee Jung - jae)neglected to tell Osha the truth about the night she was take to become his prentice . While he did tell Osha that her twin sister Mae cause a fire that resulted in the deaths of their female parent and the coven that raised them , he did n’t partake that he was the one who inadvertently drink down Mother Aniseya during the tense encounter between the Jedi and witch , nor that he was thrust to choose between make unnecessary Osha and Mae during the conflict . As such , the revelation of the truth could very well wrench Osha to the dark side .
9Vernestra Rwoh Will Face The Stranger
We’re Expecting Some Impressive Lightwhip Battles
Having leave the Jedi Temple on Coruscant to investigate the incident on Khofar , Master Vernestra Rwoh ( Rebecca Henderson ) and her squad of Jedi bring out the aftermath of Qimir ’s brute Jedi slaughter abide by his murder of the Jedi Wookiee Kelnacca . intend to learn the truth from Sol as the sole Jedi subsister , it brook to reason that Vernestra will play a central character inThe Acolyte’sfinale . As such , it would be very exciting to see Vernestra duel Qimir should he and Osha be discovered in the show ’s finale .
It ’s also worth noting the unique designing of thescar pattern on Qimir ’s back as catch inThe Acolyteepisode 6 . While their stock and who assail Qimir from behind has n’t yet been confirmed , it is teased that they were given to him by someone who " threw him away " , perhaps even his master from his newly revealed past as a former Jedi . To that end , the scars do take care as though they could have come from Vernestra ’s royal - bladed lightwhip , suggesting a secret yesteryear between the Jedi Master and this new glum side substance abuser .
8Qimir’s Master Will Be Revealed
Who Trained The Stranger?
While it ’s known that The Stranger was once a Jedi , it ’s not yet been confirmed where he learned to wield the grim side of the Force . To that end , it ’s been theorize that Qimir was rejected first by the Jedi , and then perhaps subsequently on by the Sith as a rejected prentice . This would abide the idea that The Stranger does not belong to the traditional Sith Lords under the established stemma of Darth Bane , nor the Jedi Order . Instead , Qimir ’s his own brand name of sorry side exploiter , or perhaps one of the former Knights of Ren .
In any compositor’s case , it would certainly be exciting to learn who Qimir ’s sea captain ( or masters ) were , either in the calorie-free side or in the dark . This is something thatThe Acolyte’sfinale will more than likely result . At the very least , the finale could also proceed to card the reveal as set - up for a succeeding season of the newStar Warsshow .
7The True Sith Will Emerge
Perhaps Tenebrous or Darth Plagueis?
disregardless of whether The Stranger is a true Sith Lord or not , one could envisage that his action will eventually benefit the attention of the actual Dark Lords of the Sith . Perhaps they already have by the time ofThe Acolyte’sfinale . As such , The Acolyte’sfinale would certainly score some major points if experience Sith such asDarth Tenebrous or Plagueis ( Palpatine ’s master)made appearing .
In the prove canon beforeThe Acolyte , Darth Tenebrous and his apprentice Plagueis should be active during this menses of the High Republic Era , albeit hide in the shadows . After all , both tenebrific and Plagueis belong to to several exotic species with long life spans . That said , it ’s still not known how Qimir / The Stranger fits into the big factions of morose - side users in theStar Warscanon .
6Jedi Master Sol Will Die
Keeping The Stranger’s Presence A Secret From The Jedi
Master Sol is the only Jedi left who could credibly report to the Jedi Order to break Qimir ’s existence , whom he probably take over is a Sith . To that end , one can imagine that Sol in all probability wo n’t live to say the Jedi about Qimir . This would maintain The Stranger ’s privateness , while also maintain cardinal element of theStar Warscanon , such as the Jedi ’s ignorance of SIth ’s endurance during this period .
5Mae and Osha Will Merge Back Into One
Reversing The Rhyme?
Another interesting possible action forThe Acolyte’sfinale is Mae and Osha potentially merging to become one . This is based on the revealing fromThe Acolyteepisode 7 thatMae and Osha were create via their female parent ’s manipulation of a Force vergence , having been separate from one singular consciousness in the Force into two organism . Sharing very marking and symbionts when it arrive to their M - counts , Mae and Osha truly are the same person as far as the Force is concerned .
This would essentially be a reversal of their repeat children ’s rhyme and the mantra of Brendok ’s witch . With the top executive of many being no more after the witches ' demolition , the power of two could cease up becoming one . This could even be done via the disclose ethereal green goddess power used by the witch as seen in the flashback to Brendok . As such , Mae and Osha becoming one being as they were seemingly meant to be does n’t seem too far outside the realm of plausibility .
4Mae and Osha Will Be Confirmed As A Force Dyad
“Unseen In Generations”
It ’s also possible thatMae and Osha could be officially corroborate as a Force duad . A conception introduced inThe Rise of Skywalker , a dyad is a uncommon Julian Bond in the Force where two beings are connected across both time and space . They also subsist as one being in the Force , an idea that shares quite a bit of resemblance to how Mae and Osha have been name by the Jedi . too , it ’s also a part of the establishedStar Warscanon that the Sith often try on to manufacture and create these powerful dyads artificially , something Brendok ’s witches may have very well achieved with the twin .
3We’ll Finally Learn Why The Jedi Never Realized The Sith Had Returned
How Their Presence Remained Hidden Until Darth Maul
No matter howThe Acolyte’sfinale shakes out , the expectation is that there will be an explanation for why the Jedi will still be unaware of the Sith ’s existenceduring this period of theStar Warstimeline . Even if Qimir does n’t cease up being let out as a truthful Sith , he did say that that ’s what the Jedi would call him . As such , Qimir simply being a red lightsaber - wielding glowering side substance abuser should be enough to propel the Jedi to look into the possibility that their ancient competition might not be as extinct as had been believed for millennium .
2The Jedi Will Lose Their Battle With The Senate
An External Review…
The Acolyteepisode 6 also corroborate that members of the Republic Senate were calling for an " external reassessment " of the Jedi Order . If sanction in the finale , this could attend as the base for what ’s seen in theStar Warsprequels with the Supreme Chancellor basically having more oversight over the Jedithan in preceding generations of the Republic . After all , the Jedi Order ’s ties with the Republic Senate and government did aid in their own downfall once a Sith Lord became Supreme Chancellor right under their noses .
1The Jedi Council Will Be Left With Plenty Of Questions, & No Answers
The Jedi Will Be Left Only With Mystery
Thus far , the exist Jedi High Council has yet to be revealed inThe Acolyte . However , this could shift inThe Acolyte’sfinale with the Council making an show in whatever aftermath the instalment brings . That articulate , one can assume that they ’ll only be left with far more questions than response about the Jedi who ’ve of late been lose in this newStar Warsshow ( and why ) .
The Acolyte’sfinale is set to be liberate on Tuesday , July 16th .
