The Acolyte
Summary
Qimir / the Stranger ’s helmet inThe Acolytemay have a connection to a formidable Sith Lord , which could have grave implications for Osha’sStar Warsfuture . The Acolyteepisode 5revealed that it was Mae ’s confederate , Qimir , who was really the man behind the masquerade party . Although several hints had already been dropped regarding his indistinguishability , his translation was nevertheless disgraceful , as he went from a seemingly harmless chum to a cruel killer . Certainly , The Acolyteepisode 5 ’s Jedi deathsare more than enough proof of that .
However , episode 6 developed his character even further , specifically through his interactions with Osha . After taking Osha off Khofar , Qimir brought her to a remote island , presently only identify Unknown Planet , with the intention of turn her to the dark side . While this at first seemed far - fetched base on how devoted Osha was to the light , she surprisingly became tempted throughout the episode , at last even putting his helmet on herself . Now , it seems , the import of Osha wearing this helmet could be even greater base on one ancient Sith Lord .
The Sith Lord of The Acolyte get into a very unequalled helmet , but it was n’t just a coolheaded mask , it also helped him in battle in a few surprising way .
Qimir’s Helmet May Possess The Same Powers As Darth Momin’s
While Osha ’s decision to try on Qimir ’s helmet was shocking in light of all that had precede it , The Acolytemay have a good account , tied to another Sith Lord . Darth Momin , a Sith Lord inStar Warscanon , also had a helmet , and it wield incredible power . When Momin died , his helmet retained his cognisance , and it had the ability to corrupt someone to the dark side of the Force .
One specific style a person could be corrupted by the masque was if they were pull up stakes alone with it in an confine space , although in Darth Momin ’s slip the masque did so with its shine crimson eyes . Notably , this seems to be precisely what happened to Osha . Even without the glowing eyes , Osha is left alone with Qimir ’s mask , and she seems oddly drawn to it . However , Momin ’s masque could also amply possess and control someone once they ’d break it .

Interestingly , another massive hint that QImir ’s helmet may have a connexion to this Sith Lord is the helmet ’s appearance . Like Qimir ’s , Darth Momin ’s mask was fracture and collapse . InThe Acolyteepisode 6 , Qimir can be see welding his helmet back together after Jecki Lon had cracked it in installment 5 , which is how Qimir ’s true identity was discover . Of course , Momin ’s masquerade is n’t the onlyStar Warsmask that had similar crack ; Kylo Ren ’s , like Qimir ’s , was ruin and want to be reconstruct .
This Would Explain Osha’s Sudden Change
If QImir ’s helmet does have powers like to Darth Momin’s , this would explain why Osha go from decisively aligned with the Jedi to being tempted by Qimir ’s helmet . Yes , Qimir had attempted to debase her throughout the instalment by take the Jedi had throw her out ( and , arguably , by swim around with no apparel on in unmixed view — a more literal take on seducing someone to the dark side ) . Even with those endeavour , though , Osha ’s sudden shift merit further explanation .
Osha ’s sudden shift merit further account .
This is particularly true in visible radiation of the level of Qimir ’s very recent ferociousness and cruelty . Osha even pointed this out to Qimir as he was attempt to corrupt her , saying that Qimir killed Yord , a friend Osha had since they were younglings , and Jecki , an sinless Padawan . It would be very unknown and disappointing narratively for her to just change on a dime without some larger influence .
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. This sci-fi thriller sees a former Padawan reunite with her former Jedi Master as they investigate several crimes - all leading to darkness erupting from beneath the surface and preparing to bring about the end of the High Republic.
I believe thatThe Acolyteis work to take this Darth Momin connection one step further , and it would make this plot line so much good . Even if Darth Momin is never named , it seems plausible that Qimir ’s helmet similarly draw Osha in and corrupted her . After all , she was left alone with the mask , and she was carefully eyeball it before walk over to it and putting it on . Now that she has put it on , I believeThe Acolytewill reveal her to be in full have .
This would be an incredible secret plan twist and would explain any impending shocking behaviors , such as Osha plow on Master Sol . WhileThe Acolytehasn’t confirm that this is taking post , it seems likely , as Qimir represents a possible new master for Osha . A rightful dark side possession would credibly explain why Osha would go from a devoted student who distinctly even loves Master Sol to someone unforced to vote out him .
This would also be peculiarly in effect as a plot note now , given thatThe Acolytehas two remaining episodes . This is n’t tolerable fourth dimension to precede a fully formed arc revealing Osha to have committed to the sour side . Osha being possessed , however , would . Moreover , The Acolytehas get considerable negativeness and backlash , with many arguing it is n’t aware enough ofStar Warslore . Now , The Acolytehas an excellent opportunity to connect to an ancient Sith Lord ’s story , reinforcing its connection toStar Warsstories before it and perfectly explaining Osha ’s corruption .
