Summary
Star Wars : The Acolytehas made one of the Jedi ’s most basic powers into something incredibly impressive and compelling . The Acolyteis showing us a completelydifferent kind of Jedi Order . As the show takes place near the end of theHigh Republic epoch , around 100 years before the Skywalker saga start , the Jedi are approaching the end of their Golden Age . Soon enough , they ’ll be overwhelmed by fright and dark , retreating in on themselves rather than reaching out a helping hand across the galaxy . One Jedi Master in the show has already embodied this shift .
InThe Acolyte , we ’re introduced to Jedi Master Torbin ( Dean - Charles Chapman ) , who , years earlier , took theBarash Vowand has been in soundless communion with the Force ever since . Though the origins of the Barash Vow are tragic – some Jedi use it to seek remission of sin , as Master Torbin seemingly has – The Acolytehas proven the meditative state a Jedi enters , whether for noesis or the Barash Vow , is not just for mull over the will of the Force . It seems to make their forcible connexion to the Force that much stronger , too .
The Acolyte has eventually premiered on Disney+ , featuring a massive ingathering of exciting Easter egg and references in the first two episodes .

Master Torbin’s Meditation Was Staggeringly Impressive
speculation is a tool used by all Jedi , regardless of their place within the Order . They use it to feel nearer to the Force , to center themselves , find their strength , and even to decompress . One of the things I love about the High Republic era is that it establish Jedi experiencing the Force otherwise while in a ruminative state . Some experienced it as a song , others experience it as a pictorial tapis of color , and so on . In Torbin ’s case , it seems it also allowed him to utilise the Force in one of the cool , most Jedi - like ways potential .
The Force field that wall a levitating Torbin during his speculation was undeniably telling . It ’s been imply that Master Torbin took the Barash Vow to atone for some gloomy deeds in his past involving Mae and her baby ; it ’s potential that it involve some configuration of violence . So , in his meditative state , Torbin was able-bodied to create an fantastically powerful Force playing area to block out the outside world – a shield , as it were , which , in my mind , is what the Jedi should always strive to be , and likely what he wishes he had been that fateful night , too .
There Was Only One Way Mae Could Beat Torbin
Mae did her best to perforate Torbin ’s broody Force field , but nothing worked . The only way to get to him was by preying on his guiltiness and his need for forgiveness . The forcible world could n’t come home Torbin ’s telling shell , but the painfulness and torture they both find could . Torbin accepting the toxicant Mae offers him not only proves just how agonizing that night must have been , but it also proves thatthe solution to the Jedi ’s problems ca n’t always be found in the Force , even after years of tacit speculation .
The forcible world could n’t get through Torbin ’s impressive carapace , but the painful sensation and anguish he felt could .
I ’ve always thought that the Force should n’t solely be relied upon to bring Jedi inner peace . That ’s something they need to find for themselves . Torbin communed with the Force for days and was n’t capable to see the absolution he was searching for . Though his physical feats during his meditative state of matter were undeniably coolheaded , I think there ’s something to be say for finding an emotional balance , too , without the guidance of the Force . Torbin may have been incredibly connected to the Force , but his death inStar war : The Acolyteshowed that disappearing into meditation can not work all the Jedi ’s trouble .
