The Acolyte Reveals The Force Power Used By Darth Plagueis & The Sith
Crafted By The Witches Of Brendok
InThe Acolyteepisode 3 which reveals Osha and Mae ’s origins , it ’s revealed that the Witches of Brendok lead by Mother Aniseya were living in exile , their powers and belief in the Force as " a great screw thread " being met with veneration and intuition . To that end , the Force cult was actively undertake to keep their action hide out from the Jedistationed on Brendok . This is especially true regarding the existence of Aniseya ’s and Mother Koril ’s twin daughter .
in the lead of the unseasoned girl ' ascension ceremony into the coven , Osha and Mae were discovered by the Jedi when they left the coven ’s chemical compound . This resulted in a series of events leading to the coven ’s plain devastation , Osha go away with the Jedi , and Mae believed to have died . However , it was also give away that Mae and Osha have no father . Instead , the twins were produce by Mother Aniseya through the Force and conceived in the existing womb of Mother Koril .
With Mother Aniseya confirming that this incredible ability to create life history was escort as " affected " , it ’s no wonder that they tried to keep the female child blot out from the Jedi Order . Likewise , this looks to be the very same big businessman wielded byDarth Plagueiswho could influence the midi - chlorians to make lifetime . While this is a very cool connection to the greaterStar Warscanon and a unexampled chapter for the bequest of the Sith , it also debunks a belief about Anakin ’s similar conception .

Anakin Skywalker Could Not Have Been Created Using This Method
“There Was No Father”
Even thoughAnakin Skywalker was also conceived without a father , the outgrowth of creating life used by Aniseya looks to be limited to just females in an be womb . After all , all babe start as distaff before the gain of a Y chromosome that comes from a beginner as interpret with natural birth . As such , Osha and Mae being born as twinned females supports the idea that Aniseya ’s power to create life only goes as far as female person .
To that death , the hard prefiguration in this installment that Darth Plagueis will learn ( or has already learn ) this same Force power would mean that he did n’t actuate Anakin ’s birth as many have theorized since the button ofRevenge of the Sith . While this was an estimation George Lucas had in early drafts of Episode III , he ended up shift his thinker . Likewise , it ’s also been affirm that Palpatine did n’t trigger Anakin ’s nativity either . To that end , these exciting divulge inThe Acolyteepisode 3 strongly suggest that one of the prevalent Anakin stock theories has officially been expose .
Anakin Really Was Born By The Will Of The Force
Born To Be Its Chosen One (Without Sith Manipulation)
Even withoutThe Acolytesupporting the idea that the Sith had nothing to do with Anakin ’s conception , it ’s still an left theory that they were somehow able-bodied to control the Chosen One prophecy to such a degree . rather , it makes much more sensation that Anakin was either conceived by the midi - chlorians or the Force itself . After all , the Force ’s power to make life would presumably be not as special . As the Chosen One , Anakin ’s parentage is still far more miraculous , tying into the correspondence of the Force itself .
To that end , it ’s an of import eminence that whileMae and Osha were born using a power that Darth Plagueis likely wielded himself , that does n’t mean he was behind Anakin ’s conception , nor that Mae and Osha are somehow " Chosen One " predecessors . That said , The Acolytecould still very well unveil the similitude ' existence as a knock-down Force Dyad , not unlike the sequels ' Rey Skywalker and Kylo Ren .
The Acolyteepisode 3 is well out now . New episodes are release Tuesday nights on Disney+ .
