However , the show has yet to show the Republic Senate , despite making references to it . These brand - Modern robe for Master Rwoh could suggest this is about to vary .

The High Republic’s Senate Could Be Making An Appearance
Given that Vernestra Rwoh ’s high senate robe were very thoughtfully and on purpose designed forThe Acolytebut have yet to make an coming into court , presumptively , Vernestra will be wearing them during the upcoming final sequence .

Indeed , the episode 5 Jedi deathswere some of the darkest moments ofThe Acolyte , but they were also monumental turning point in the plot . While a numeral of events have transpirate in the two episode since — including Vernestra deal a team of Jedi to Khofar to recover the torso — it is the execution of these Jedi and the revelation about Qimir that still must be address by the Jedi Order .

This would also make Vernestra the perfect person to go on behalf of the Jedi . With Sol and Osha both on their own freestanding paths and far from Coruscant and no other Jedi attestant remaining , only Vernestra can supply insight into the horrible events of episode 5 . Moreover , outside Jedi Master Indara , who was sadly toss off inThe Acolyte’sfirst installment , Vernestra seems best suited to this sort of diplomatic work .

Vernestra seems well suited to this sort of diplomatical study .
It will be fascinating to see howThe Acolytewraps everything up in its one remaining episode , as that seems like an awful mass of ground to enshroud . The fact that the episodes are loosely only a half hour to 45 minutes in distance ( although it is n’t confirmed that the final sequence will follow that pattern ) makes this even more perplexing . Even so , this update fromStar Warssuggests thatThe Acolytemay finally reveal the Republic Senate of the High Republic Era , a thrilling notion to be sure .
