After seven semi-eventful weeks, we’ve reached the end of the line. The Acolyte has been setting the stage for an explosive finale that will finally answer the many questions posed across its first season. Star Wars’ latest series has surprised fans by embracing lore from every corner of the franchise, while also taking a subversive approach to its central mystery, but across seven episodes, The Acolyte has also introduced far more questions than answers.

In the classic Star Wars trilogy, we all knew that the baddies had red lightsabers because they were bad, but oddly, an explanation as to why the blades were that color wasn’t firmly established in canon until after the prequels, and while the sequel films were underway. Hardcore Star Wars fans might know that all red lightsabers were once a different color, but what’s interesting, is that we’ve never actually seen this process happen on screen. That is, until now.

The Acolyte has delivered on a lot of what it promised. There was a deep dive into the philosophies of the Sith, plenty of elements from the non-canon Legends timeline were brought into canon, and we got an unprecedented look into Star Wars’ High Republic era where the series is set. But there was one character fans had been clamoring for who never seemed to appear — until the season finale, that all changed. Not only is this an Easter Egg for the ages, but it could also reveal Qimir’s true intentions in The Acolyte.

It’s the beginning of the end for the High Republic. The Acolyte had a daunting task ahead of it, and not a whole lot of time to do it. Its eight-episode season patiently unfurled an emotional tale of revenge, and flirted most thoroughly with the dark side in the process. For all its latent potential, though, some doubted that showrunner Leslye Headland could resolve the season’s biggest questions in one satisfying swoop. Could The Acolyte reunite its disparate twin sisters, Mae and Osha Aniseya (both played by Amandla Stenberg), and explain how they were created? Which side would Osha, a former Jedi padawan, choose in the end: the comfort of the light and her old master, Sol (Lee Jung-jae), or the lure of the dark with a new teacher in Qimir (Manny Jacinto)?
