The Acolyte
Summary
The Acolyteepisode 7 flesh out many of theStar Warsshow ’s mysteries , but it also had one glare flaw that impacted the whole plot . In plus to revealingwhat really happened on Brendok , thereby absolving Mae of the accusation that she killedthe beldam of Brendok , The Acolyteepisode 7 substantiate , sadly , thatthe Jedi commit a atrocious criminal offence . Sol , in particular , was at fault for much of what transpired , especially as he was the one to kill Mother Aniseya ( in front of Mae ) .
However , all four Jedi post on Brendok at the time — Indara , Kelnacca , Torbin , and Sol — were blameworthy in some means . After all , it was Master Indara who unfeignedly wipe out the coven , even if she was doing what she conceive was right and may not have even meant to shoot down them . However , it was Torbin ’s plot line inThe Acolyteepisode 7 that was really a weakness in the show for one cardinal reason .
The Acolyte installment 7 finally expose what really materialise on Brendok 16 old age ago , include that Sol killed Mother Aniseya for complex reason .
Torbin’s Motivations Made No Sense
Although Torbin was introduced early on inThe Acolyteas the mysterious Jedi who was guilty enough over what bechance on Brendok that he was unforced to take poison rather than confess , in instalment 3 and installment 7 , he was just a Padawan . This made him believably uneasy and impatient , butTorbin ’s larger motivations throughout episode 7 made no sense . By the end of the episode , Torbin is fundamentally responsible for for the decease of the witches of Brendok ; yes , Sol killed Mother Aniseya and Master Indara kill countless enchantress , but Torbin extend them there .
His ground for doing so was flimsy at well .
His reason for doing so was thin at best , however . Throughout the sequence , he bug the Jedi , Master Indara in finicky , about at last get to go back to Coruscant . For indecipherable grounds , Torbin is obsessed with the approximation of fall base , enough so , apparently , that he is unforced to infiltrate a coven ’s fortress in an seek to prove that their two baby , Osha and Mae , are a vergence in the Force . Sadly , this just was n’t compelling or believableas a driving motivation .

Looking Like Anakin Skywalker Wasn’t Enough
Presumably , this weaker plotline was intend to work because Torbin resembled Anakin Skywalker , although he really only slightly did . Both had dirty blond / light brown coil , at least , andStar Warshas been known to expend such visual connections to subtly underline a point . This is incisively why the youngling who demand Anakin what they are go to do during decree 66 inStar war : Episode III - Revenge of the Sithresembles young Anakin so powerfully .
presumptively , this weaker plotline was meant to work because Torbin resemble Anakin Skywalker .
However , looking a fleck like Anakin , who was known for being brainish , impatient , and a bit whiny , was n’t enough to explicate Torbin ’s behavior . Anakin ’s impatience had been gain over the form of multiple movies , whereas Torbin ’s character simply had n’t been developed enough to make this oeuvre . Sadly , the motive of desperately wanting to get back to Coruscant was n’t compelling enough to make it credible that Torbin would rush into the Wiccan of Brendok ’s home , and it affectedThe Acolyteepisode 7 for the worse .
