Well now we know that The Acolyte’s mysterious Sith Lord turned out to be (SPOILER ALERT) Qimir. Did the reveal work? To most fans watching the show, Qimir was the obvious (and maybe even only) suspect in the cast. But is it bad to be obvious? And how will this reveal impact the remaining three episodes of the season? That’s the subject of our discussion of the latest Star Warsepisode. Our panel of experts discuss how Qimir’s reveal alleviates some of the issues we previously always had in The Phantom Menace, why Qimir is a more interesting villain than Palaptine, and whether the way the show ...

Oh man, stuff went down on this week’s The Acolyte. We learned the identity of Mae’s mysterious Sith master. We saw the deaths of several significant characters. We saw the beginnings of a whole twin magic subplot. And we saw the payoff of several clues and hints from the very beginning of the season paid off. We also got a totally new sort of Force-defensive technology: A helmet that can shield your thoughts from a Jedi. But did you know there have been similar devices in Star Wars comics before? It’s true. And it’s just one of the many Easter eggs, hidden secrets, and little details you migh...

The following post contains SPOILERS for Star Wars: The Acolyte Episode 5. The latest episode of The Acolyte answered the biggest question on the show to date — namely the mysterious identity of Mae’s Sith Master. (It was Qimir! The guy who looked like the obvious red herring was … actually just the bad guy all along?! Huh.) But the new Acolyte episode also raised some new questions along the way. Mainly viewers are puzzled by one recurring element of “Night”: The fact that the Jedi lightsabers keep sputtering out and malfunctioning during the battle with the Sith. This is something that’s alm...

There are a few mysteries in Star Wars: The Acolyte,but none bigger than this: Who is the Dark Master and what is their big plan? Clearly, this strange, disturbing Force wielder is manipulating Mae to kill these four Jedi who she blames for this tragedy that occurred during her childhood. But why does the Master want Mae to murder the four Jedi? What do they get out of her revenge plan, whether it succeeds or fails? And how does that connect to the identity of this mysterious Sith (is that a Sith?) under that hideous helmet? That’s the subject of our latest Acolyte video which examines all the...

The third episode of The Acolyte introduces viewers to a coven of Force-sensitive witches. But how do these characters connect to the witches previously seen on Star Wars: The Clone Wars and on the recent Star Wars: Ahsoka TV series? What makes one Force witch different from another? In our latest Acolyte breakdown video, we’ll explain just where all these witches come from, how they are connected, and what makes this particular clan unique. We’ll also point out all of the Star Wars Easter eggs, hidden details, and little secrets you might have missed in this week’s episode, “Destiny.” We’ll d...

Star Warsis charting a new course with the Disney+ series The Acolyte, which is set 100 years before the events of the Star Wars prequels, and features a group of Jedi we’ve never met onscreen before investigating a series of murders during a period where they stand totally unopposed by the Sith. The Acolyte is something different for Star Wars; part mystery series, part detective procedural, There’s no Empire. There’s no Darth Anybody. Through the first two episodes there are no space battles. But is it different enough? In our latest video Ryan Arey, Matt Singer, and Dodson Seitz get togethe...

As most Star Warse movies and shows do, The Acolytebegins with a text card explaining the basic premise of the series. But there’s something cool about this particular version of this trope. The text is colored blue, a callback to the very first “A long time ago, in a galaxy far away” in the original Star Wars. But the font the words are typed in is different — it’s actually the font used (in yellow) in the classic Star Wars crawl. So this opening actually combines two different Star Wars tropes into a single image. That’s just one of the many secrets, hidden references, and Easter eggs in the...

Star Wars’ new Disney+ series The Acolyte takes fans into an era of the galaxy far, far away that has never been explored in a live-action TV series before. Known as “The High Republic,” The Acolyte is set roughly 100 years before the main Star Wars movie franchise, at a time when the Jedi remain the main Force wielders in the universe, and the Sith are almost non-existent. The High Republic has been the subject of novels and comics and other Star Wars stuff in the last few years, but The Acolyte is the thing that is really going to bring it to more casual Star Wars fans for the first time. An...
