InThe Acolyteepisode 3 , the death of Osha and Mae ’s coven seemed extremely suspicious . Although Mae was pose as the sea wolf , it seemed impossible that the fire she part was the suit of the witch ' destruction , peculiarly since their eubstance were n’t burned . Now , Star Warshas confirmedwhat really hap on Brendok .

It was n’t Mae ’s fire at all , but rather a battle between the Jedi and the witches that led to so much loss of life .

Sol Mistakenly Believed Mother Aniseya Was Going To Fight Him

The Acolyteepisode 7 was full of mistaking and miscommunications , which had devastating effects . For reasonableness that remain a bit muddy , Sol believed that Osha and Mae were in risk on Brendok and needed to be economise . This led him to sense intense fear and anxiety , which muddled his read on situation throughout the episode . Sadly , this included the final face-off between the Jedi and the beldame , when he believed Mother Aniseya intended to attack him .

The Acolyteepisode 7 was full of misunderstanding and miscommunications , which had devastating burden .

Yes , Master Sol had seen both mothers be a chip harsh with the girls , particularly while training them , but he misconceive this to think that the witches mean them harm . More significantly , in terms of Mother Aniseya ’s death , he viewed the beldam as vehement and dangerous . This was truthful of Mother Koril , who began to attack Sol , but it was not unfeigned for Mother Aniseya .

In fact , Mother Aniseya had cried"no!‘about the impending attack and turn to smoke seemingly to hold on the battle from happening . Out of fear , Sol rashly stabbed Mother Aniseya in her smoke form , which bring her back to her body and , tragically , ended in her dying . uncollectible of all , Mae was stand there the intact metre , which finally explains her mission to vote out the Jedi .

The Acolyte ’s witches of Brendok employ a unique Force power that was antecedently used by the Nightsisters of Dathomir in Star Wars : The Clone Wars .

Mother Aniseya Had Already Decided To Let Osha Go

One of the most tragic aspects of Mother Aniseya ’s death is that she had already chosen to be a mother over being the loss leader of the coven . Despite the infliction it intelligibly caused her and the outrage of the beldame , Mother Aniseya was going to get Osha leave Brendok and become a Jedi . In fact , this is even what she said to Master Sol just before she die .

This revelation made the pain of the moment that much more intense , and it was cleared that this add together to Master Sol ’s guilt trip considerably . It was at that moment that he realise he had completely misunderstood Mother Aniseya , but it was too late to redress the grave wrong he had already done . However , that guilt clearly was not quite enough for him to accept his wrongdoing as , in the end , the Jedi frame Mae for the end of the intact coven , Mother Aniseya include , allow Osha to think the very worst of her sis for near two decades .

The Jedi framed Mae for the death of the entire coven , Mother Aniseya included .

Sol’s Action Was Rash & Impetuous, But Understandable

Mother Aniseya did not merit to die , and that Sol killed her is a grievous error on his part . In truth , Sol ’s guilt about the situation is warranted ; he acted rashly and out of care , two things counter to the Jedi way . Had he take heed to Indara and not let himself be led by his feelings of fright and perhaps even anger ( or , at least , outrage at how he believe the Wiccan of Brendok were handle Osha and Mae ) , he might have had enough pause to not stab Mother Aniseya in what seemed to be a terror .

Sol ’s guilt about the position is guarantee .

However , it ca n’t be overlooked that Mother Koril also had a monumental shock on this situation , which do Sol ’s sudden attempt more or less more understandable ( although that does n’t make it correct ) . Whereas Mother Aniseya was compassionate , calm , and explicitly anti - violent , Mother Koril was aggressive and antipathetic , and she promote Mae to tap into her wrath and therefore , presumably , the dark side of the Force . Mother Koril being poised to attack surely factored into Sol misread Mother Aniseya ’s intentions .

Moreover , Sol had somehow gotten it into his head that the witch think to harm or perhaps even give Osha and Mae , so when he ensure Mother Aniseya begin to evaporate and Mae ( whom he wrong believed to be Osha ) along with her , he had a genu - jerk chemical reaction that tragically be Mother Aniseya her life sentence . The implications of this revelation still persist to be seen , as Osha has no mind that her beloved former master killed her mother ; surely , the final episode ofThe Acolytewill address this lingering head .
