The Acolyte
Warning ! This post contains spoiler for The Acolyte .
Summary
The Acolyteepisode 7 finally suffice the burning question aboutwhat really happen on Brendok , and it would be a monolithic understatement to say it reflected ill on the Jedi — Master Sol in particular . The Acolytehas been full of mysteries , but one of the most pressing was the lot ofthe witches of Brendok , the coven from which Osha and Mae spring up . At first , it seemed as though Mae had killed her own coven for reasons obscure ; however , The Acolytequickly have that into question .
In fact , inThe Acolyteepisode 3 , it seemed downright impossible that Mae was the killer of the witches , as she had allegedly done so by starting a flaming . While Mae did indeed take off a flame ( accidentally , as it turns out ) , the torso of the witches were notably not burned . Tragically , The Acolyteepisode 7 expose that the true cause of destruction for the hag of Brendok was so much worse and more lurid , as it implicated the Jedi , although Master Sol especially .
The Acolyte sequence 7 finally revealed what really happened on Brendok 16 years ago , including that Sol killed Mother Aniseya for complex reason .
Master Sol’s Attachment To Osha Clouded His Judgment
Master Sol ’s instant connector with Osha was perplexing , to say the least . On the one hired man , this seemed like a narrative issue . Neither the episode nor the show had provided enough data for it to be credible that Sol would have taken so powerfully to Osha in a matter of a twenty-four hours . In - universe , though , this was also bewildering ; Master Sol ’s deportment was completely contrary to the Jedi way .
Master Sol ’s conduct was completely wayward to the Jedi way .
The Jedi discourage worked up attachments in any situation , admit in relationship between masters and Padawans who have been working alongside one another for year . The Order would certainly frown upon Sol forming a connexion with Osha before he even truly know the child , and , had they been cognizant of this , they undoubtedly would not have paired Sol and Osha together as master and learner after on .

Moreover , though , even in terms of attachments inStar Wars , Sol ’s was a chip brain - boggling . Anakin Skywalker , for example , is perhaps theStar Warscharacter well know for his issues with attachment , most notably in his marriage to Padmé but also with his master , Obi - Wan Kenobi , and his Padawan , Ahsoka Tano . Even in Anakin ’s typesetter’s case , though , he did not become obsessional about his attachments until much later , after the death of his female parent .
Sol ’s behavior is obsessive almost now , specially because he believes Osha and Mae to be in danger . Even so , the extent of Sol ’s fastening to Osha was percipient when he just hesitate to drop Mae to her ( presumed ) decease to save Osha . In the goal , it was this very fastening that led Sol to make the bad potential decision and thrust Mother Aniseya , killing her aright in front of Mae .
Master Sol Completely Misinterpreted The Witches' Training
The Acolyteepisode 7 suggest that Master Sol dissemble in such irrational ways because he truly believed the twins were go bad to amount to impairment at the hands of the witches of Brendok . That seems to be a echt care he had , but it was deliver out of a complete misunderstanding of the coven . After minimum observation , Master Sol came to the conclusion that the coven did n’t care for Osha and Mae like children , and he seemed especially trouble by the at - times rough nature of Osha and Mae ’s training under their two mothers , Mother Aniseya and Mother Koril .
However , Master Sol ’s incorrect assessment of the coven reflects his ignorance . Master Indara herself name the witches of Brendok and their practices as"so strange,“and Master Sol seems to have take that to heart , identifying them as dangerous and harmful to Mae and Osha despite not intellect ( or trying to understand ) their customs . Had Master Sol paid a piece more attention and taken a routine of time to become unagitated and more intellectual , he might have mark that the witches of Brendok train Osha and Mae in a direction not dissimilar to the Jedi .
Yes , Mother Koril and Mother Aniseya were both harsh towards the lady friend at times — Mother Koril particularly . At one point , Master Sol celebrate Mother Aniseya using the Force to push the two girls down , telling them that their foeman would not give them monish before they attacked . For one , this is dead on target , and it is by all odds an crucial lesson to learn prior to a true conflict . More significantly , though , this education dash is in keep with Padawan breeding see inStar Warsshows and moviesbefore .
Specifically , inStar warfare : tale of the Jedi , Anakin Skywalker subjected his Padawan , Ahsoka , to brutal training with the ringer cavalryman , during which the clones shot at Ahsoka until the point that she literally crumble . When she came to , they begin again . This is inarguably much more barbarous than the training Mae and Osha experience with their coven , and that was happen within the Jedi Order .
Perhaps it was different in the High Republic Era , particularly as it was n’t wartime as it was during the Clone Wars era , and , of form , Anakin was a unique Jedi . It ’s likely this method was universally engage . Even so , Master Sol ’s reaction to this training seems like an overreaction .
Master Sol ’s reception to this training seems like an overreaction .
Master Sol Killed Mother Aniseya Out Of Fear
Like Master Sol ’s belief that Mae and Osha were in danger , his terrible decisiveness to shoot down Mother Aniseya came from a place of fearfulness . In the net showdown between the Jedi and the witch of Brendok , Master Sol and Padawan Torbin stomach in front of Mother Koril , Mother Aniseya , and many armed witch . When Mother Koril became poised to strike , Mother Aniseya yelled"No!“quickly turn to dope ( and , interestingly , Mae along with her ) . Scared by this power and misunderstanding this move by Mother Aniseya to be an aggressive one , Master Sol prod her with his lightsaber , killing her .
The Acolyte ’s witches of Brendok use a unequalled Force power that was antecedently used by the Nightsisters of Dathomir in Star Wars : The Clone Wars .
To give Sol the greatest welfare of the doubt , Mother Koril was belike going to attack him . However , it was n’t Mother Koril he struck but rather Mother Aniseya , who not only did n’t intend him harm but also had actively told Koril that she did not require to use fierceness . Sadly , this deed by Sol was therefore completely misplace , and it cost Mother Aniseya her life and place in motility the effect ofThe Acolyte .

Master Indara Was Responsible For Wiping The Coven Out
Sol was n’t the only culpable Jedi inThe Acolyteepisode 7 . Master Indara was at long last the reason that the intact coven fell , as she had to fight them off to release Master Kelnacca from his possession . However , Indara is arguably less at fault in this compositor’s case ; she was truly attempt to save Kelnacca , and it ’s unclear whether she intend to harm the witches in the procedure . In fact , these death were the most puzzling of the episode . It is n’t alone cleared how this upshot have them to conk out .
Moreover , Master Indara prove to be the most logical , intellectual , and calm Jedi in sequence 7 , which was a major twist based on her portrayal in episode 3 . Whereas in installment 3 , Master Indara seemed cold and even antipathetic towards the beldam , episode 7 revealed that she actually tried to abide by the coven and leave Osha and Mae with their family . In luminance of this , it ’s difficult to point fingers at anyone other than Sol , who made a series of very serious mistakes inThe Acolyteepisode 7 .
The last episode of The Acolyte releases on Tuesday , July 16th , at 9 promethium EST/6 PM PST on Disney+ .
