The Acolyte – Episode 8


Nicely that is it, now we have come to the ultimate episode of the season for The Acolyte and I’ve extra questions than I’ve solutions. This present has been messy along with his characterization of the beloved Jedi. They’re proven to make errors, have flaws and hold secrets and techniques. Under no circumstances the Jedi now we have grown up understanding or have we simply been blinded – a query that Senator Rayencourt is posing. Talking of Senator Rayencourt, what a shock to see actor David Harewood from Supergirl again on the display screen. 

The episode opens with Qimir serving to take away the masks from Osha, who sees Mae kill Sol with no weapon. They’re bonding quite rapidly, did anybody else discover this? After we subsequent see Mae and Sol she makes use of Pip to flee her restraints whereas Sol tells her killing her mom was an accident however he doesn’t remorse his choice. Earlier than he can clarify additional, she assaults him and will get away. Everybody heads to Brendok for the ultimate battle. 

Grasp Vernestra has to maneuver Senator Rayencourt by talking in circles concerning the state of affairs at hand. Ought to there be one other season, I might like to see these two proceed a battle of wits. After we get again to Brendok we lastly get to see Qimir and Sol struggle with the sabers and it’s completely every little thing I wished in a lightsaber battle. The struggle choreography right here was a few of the finest I’ve seen on any Star Wars present. 

One other nice second was seeing Osha and Mae have their very own struggle. It should take loads of work for one actress taking part in twins to choreograph a struggle like that. It was nice to lastly see Osha lose management and to see what she may do. Their struggle is interrupted with the ship of the Jedi together with Grasp Vernestra arriving. Mae takes off to search out Sol. 

Simply as Sol bought the higher hand over Qimir, Mae steps in and will get Sol to confess to his half of their mom’s loss of life. He additionally lastly explains that Osha and Mae aren’t twins, not sisters, however one individual that their mom created utilizing the planet’s energy. Osha was listening from the shadows and made her presence recognized. Sol tries to clarify however Osha chokes him with the Drive and tells him to cease speaking. As she crushes his windpipe he tells her it is okay. She kills him and as she is holding his lightsaber it turns pink. The imaginative and prescient Osha had was of herself. 

As Grasp Vernestra steps off the ship she senses Qimir, who she thought was lifeless, her former pupil. When she finds the physique of Sol she makes use of the Drive to see the reality about what occurred on the planet. After we subsequent see Osha and Mae they seemingly make up and Osha agrees to go together with Qimir to coach so long as he lets Mae go. He agrees and wipes Mae’s reminiscence so that they can’t be discovered. 

We see Osha and Qimir again on the island staring out to the ocean and Osha has a glance on her face that’s not good. Appears she’s going to flip to the darkish aspect absolutely due to Sol’s lies.
Again on Coruscant, Grasp Vernestra tells the council that Sol was answerable for every little thing and he or she questions Mae who can not keep in mind something previous the fireplace. She doesn’t keep in mind Osha. Plainly Vernestra will use this to re-train Mae within the methods of the Jedi. It’s revealed that Grasp Vernestra’s grasp is Yoda. 

Whereas I loved this episode a lot greater than final week’s, I’m nonetheless left with questions. I’m not certain if I desire a second season of this present. It began off so promising however the center was tough and the ending, minus Yoda – undecided was well worth the wait. I imply, it is like they wished to destroy the repute of the Jedi. General, I give the season a 6/10.
