10Jecki Wielding Dual Lightsabers Should Be In Episode 5
Her Twin Green Blades Have Been Seen in Trailer Footage
While it ’s have a go at it that there will be a big conflict between the Jedi and the orphic Sith Lord inThe Acolyteepisode 5 , the details of that battle have been sparse . However , trailer footage has show Master Sol ’s padawan , Jecki Lonwielding two fleeceable lightsabers as she make on the Sith Lord . My suspicion is that she ’s taken the 2d blade from a fall Jedi , which likely means she wo n’t be the first take on the Sith .
Lightsaber combat that engage two blades is known as Jar’Kaiand has been used by both Jedi and Sith . Jedi like Anakin Skywalker and Kanan Jarrus have been known to wield a 2nd blade when outstrip by an opposite , let them to take on a more defensive position . It ’s unclear if Jecki ordinarily uses Jar’Kai or if the Jedi ’s battle against the Sith Lord is a special circumstance , but either way , it will be exciting .
9Mae Coming Face-to-Face With Her Sith Master
She Hid At the End of Episode 4
The end ofThe Acolyteepisode 4 saw Mae narrate Qimir that she plan to turn herself in toWookiee Jedi Master Kelnacca , only to find the Wookiee numb in his habitation . Knowing that her Master was there , Mae remained inside Kelnacca ’s shanty as the Sith Lord made his presence known . It ’s decipherable the Sith also knows that Mae is there , and will in all probability come face - to - face with her . Will he kill her for going against his will , as Qimir and Mae believed ?
The Sith Lord is also likely cognisant of Mae ’s affection for her twin babe Osha and may use it against her . If the Sith threatens Osha , Mae might take action to salvage her sister . While Mae does n’t currently wield a lightsaber that has been watch , it ’s possible that she guide one from a fallen Jedi and duels her master copy . Based on how scared she was of the Sith , it ’s likely she wo n’t shine back in line and follow his order .
The former Padawan of Jedi Master Sol , Mae gets swept up into a sinister mystery — one that puts her into the centre of a battle in unexpected ways .

8Finally Getting to Know the Identity of the Sith Lord
Has Anyone’s Theory Been Correct?
One of the bounteous mystery remaining inThe Acolyteis the personal identity of the deep Sith Lord . So far , he has only been refer to as “ him , ” and as Mae ’s master . Very little is cognize about his quality , and it seems even the other villains in the show do n’t bed much about him . Mae does n’t get laid his name and has never attend his facial expression . Qimir commented inThe Acolyteepisode 4 that he“collects people”but it ’s undecipherable what he means by that or how Qimir got involved with him .
Many theories are floating around online , many of which point towardsQimir being the Sith Lord , but nothing has been confirm . Other theories indicate he might be Master Indara who faked her death , or an evil twin of Master Sol . Some possibility have direct towards James Luceno ’s now non - canon novelDarth Plagueisand propose the Sith Lord is either the title of respect quality or his Master , Darth Tenebrous . With the Sith Lord ’s masquerade being so large and his robes hide much of his body form , it could be anyone .
7A Jedi on Jedi Lightsaber Battle on Brendok
The Witches' Magick Might Have Compromised A Jedi
IfThe Acolyteepisode 5 boast a series of flashback to the incident on Brendok , hearing will likely get to see what happened with the Jedi . From preview footage , it ’s known that Master Kelnacca will be attacking who looks like Torbin while on Brendok . Additionally , interview still have n’t ensure Master Torbin get his facial scar . If there is a Jedi - on - Jedi conflict , sequence 5 may be the perfect station to see that .
It ’s been speculate that thewitches of Brendokwill corrupt one of the Jedi as they did with Master Torbin inThe Acolyteepisode 3 . It ’s believed that Kelnacca will be the Jedi whose creative thinker will be hijacked and forced to assail his allies . It ’s rarefied inStar Warsto see a Jedi battle another Jedi , so if this happens inThe Acolyteepisode 5 , it will surely be a must - see episode .
6Seeing the Different Perspectives of What Happened on Brendok
Headland Promised a Homage to the 1950 Film, Roshomon
It was quite obvious thatThe Acolyteepisode 3did not show the whole news report of what happened on Brendok , and that it only followed Osha ’s linear perspective of thing . The Acolytecreator Leslye Headland aver that she select intake from the 1950 filmRoshomonto show the event that go on on Brendok . Roshomonwas the first time a story told the same events from multiple perspectives all with immensely unlike interpretation . The Acolyte will likely explore the events of Brendok from other perspectives including Master Sol , Mae , and maybe even one of the Brendok witches .
These view may also just be interpretations of the Sojourner Truth , with all of them together showcasing the indifferent accuracy .
Seeing all of these different perspectives will hopefully countenance audience to get the full picture of what happened and how the coven of witch really perish . These perspectives may also just be rendition of the verity , with all of them together showcasing the indifferent verity . A story like this has never been see inStar Warsso it will sure enough be a Modern experience for all , and hopefully , The Acolytecan stick the landing place .
5How Mae Survived the Fire on Brendok
Audiences Are Still in the Dark About Her Survival
While it ’s clear Mae survived the fall she took inThe Acolyteepisode 3 , it ’s not clear how that happen or how she avoided the Jedi in the fire ’s aftermath . The final shot of episode 3 showed Mae come back to the Bunta Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree where she often met Osha , but it was never unveil how she would eventually get off of Brendok . Mae also seemed relatively unharmed , which is odd considering the Jedi presume her deadened after falling in the cavern .
There have been hypothesis that Mae did not set the fervor of her own destitute will and was instead being manipulated by either one of the Wiccan or a Jedi ; however , that has yet to be proven . It ’s also odd that Mae suffered no sick effects from the fire and bullet . It seemed that Osha was brook from smoke inhalation at the ending ofThe Acolyteepisode 3 , but Mae seemed unmoved . This , too , seems foreign - and suggest something else was run short on
Mae was the one who to begin with get going the fire on Brendok .
The Acolyte is a television series set in the Star Wars universe at the end of the High Republic Era, where both the Jedi and the Galactic Empire were at the height of their influence.

4The Battle Between The Jedi and The Sith Lord is Going to Be Amazing
This Might Be The Most Highly Anticipated Aspect of the Coming Episode
The Acolyteepisode 4 ended on such a vast cliffhanger when it comes to the coming fighting betweenthe mystical Sith Lordand the Jedi . The Sith is obviously incredibly strong , and there have already been short barb of the conflict in trailer footage . What might be the most interesting is how the Jedi aim to take on the dark side user . It was clear that Jecki and Yord were n’t sure what the Sith Lord was when he first appeared , so I ca n’t wait to see how the Jedi adapt .
In this sense , the Sith has the advantage as he knows the Jedi ’s custom well . It ’ll also be interesting to see if or how Osha and Mae will fall in the battle . Both are near unarmed , and - despite Mae ’s preparation without a lightsaber - she ’ll in all likelihood still be outmatched against her master . Some of the Jedi are not expected to make it out of this battle active , but hopefully , The Acolytewill spare the characters hearing have grown to love over the show ’s first four episode .
3Learning Why Kelnacca Was Drawing the Symbols of the Witches of Brendok
They Were Everywhere!
In the opening ofThe Acolyteepisode 4 , audience start to see the interior of Kelnacca ’s home as he ready food for himself . All over the paries were the circular figure of the witches of Brendok were etched on the wall . These symbols are most notably find in the middle of Mother Aniseya ’s forehead and the corner of Mae ’s os frontale . Because hearing have seen so little of Kelnacca , it ’s still a whodunit what purpose he ’s played in Mae and Osha ’s ancestry story .
Trailer footage has show Kelnacca jump with hit lightsaber towards who looks like a young Torbin . Many trust that Kelnacca ’s eyes front shameful and that he had been taken over by one of the witches . This would explain why he remember these orbitual symbols so well — they might be ghost him . This could also be why Torbin take theBarash Vow , so he could forget the images that troubled him .
The Acolyte will stick in spectator to a whole new part of the Star Wars timeline - but how does this next Disney+ television set show correspond with the Skywalker saga ?
2What Happened to Qimir After Mae Left Him
Is He The Sith Lord?
One of the leading theories about the Sith Lord ’s identity is that he ’s been in front of consultation the whole fourth dimension in the form of Qimir . No matter the validity of this theory , it ’s not clear what happened to Qimir after Mae strung him up by his ankle and give up him in the forests of Khofar . The last audiences saw of him , he was hanging there ask Mae to trim back him down .
At first , he was begging to be allow down , then he try reasoning with her by differentiate her that the Jedi would imprison her , then lastly in cold blood told Mae her master will kill her .
It ’s worth remark that Qimir definitely knows more than he lets on and this has been subtly picture inThe Acolyte ’s first few episodes . Additionally , once Mae revealed that she plan on turning herself into Kelnacca , Qimir ’s demeanor changed . At first , he was begging to be countenance down , then he tried conclude with her by telling her that the Jedi would remand her , then finally in cold blood told Mae her master will pour down her . It ’s possible that Qimir is still flow there , or he could have been tailor down by the Sith Lord .
1Learning How (or if) Mother Koril Survived the Fire on Brendok
We Never Saw Her Body
Of all of the witches on Brendok , Mother Koril was the one that audiences drop the most time with besides Mother Aniseya . Mother Koril require what was best for Osha and Mae , but felt that the twins needed to be a bit more disciplined . InThe Acolyteepisode 3 Osha was run through the destroyed fort with Master Sol and see the numb bodies of the witches of Brendok . However , Mother Koril ’s body was not among the fallen witches .
Some hypothesis point to Mother Koril as being the Sith Lord , explainiing why Mae has never look her font . The Thread that was taught by the enchantress of Brendok was described as being dark and unnatural , which is n’t so far off from being capable to exert the sour side of the Force . It could be that Mother Koril perished with the other witches , but she also could ’ve been kill offscreen , or even survived . Either means , it ’ll be interesting whatThe Acolyteepisode 5 reveals .
