We also got a totally new sort of Force-defensive technology: A helmet that can shield your thoughts from a Jedi.

Contains spoilers for "Star Wars: The Acolyte" Season 1, Episode 5 — "Night" Whether you saw the big villain twist on "Star Wars: The Acolyte" coming or not, seeing Manny Jacinto's Qimir in full villain mode is a thrilling experience. The Disney+ show uses Jacinto's mellow "The Good Place" vibe to convince the Jedi — and possibly the viewer — that Qimir is a simple smuggler ... right up until this episode, where he unleashes the deadly power of the dark side on Jedi Master Sol's (Lee Jung-Jae) team. Still, while Qimir is a dangerous villain in his own right, some fans have noticed that he might have a connection to a far more major antagonist: none other than Ben Solo, aka Kylo Ren (Adam Driver), whose theme song makes a cameo in some of the episode's Qimir-centric scenes.

In yesterday's episode of The Acolyte, The Master was unmasked and revealed to be the mild-mannered Qimir. That was all just an act, of course, and it quickly became apparent the Jedi assembled on Khofar were no match for him. Claiming to have no name, the villain told Master Sol...

There are many powerful Force users in the galaxy far, far away. From Jedi to Sith to Nightsisters, to everyone in between, the ability to wield the Force comes in a variety of forms and skill sets. Some channel their powers for good, some for power and control, and others forge their own unique paths entirely outside of the Jedi and the Sith.

This Star Wars: The Acolyte article contains spoilers. Not since the Order 66 montage in Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith have we witnessed such a bloodbath. Episode 5 of The Acolyte, suitably titled “Night,” didn’t just kill off the nameless Jedi redshirts we all expected to die when the mystery Sith Lord showed up on Khofar in episode 4 but also two members of the show’s main cast: Jecki Lon (Dafne Keen) and Yord Fandar (Charlie Barnett) in one fell swoop. It’s a shocking turn of events that immediately raises the stakes of the show and reveals the dark side this Star Wars murder mystery has been promising to unleash since its very first trailers. Now, all bets are off, and it’s so refreshing.

The Acolyte Episode 5’s Big Deaths Just Changed the Game for Star Wars

Lucasfilm is looking for a new hit Star Wars series, and it is not afraid to retcon the beloved Rogue One (2016) in order to do so. Disney+ came strong out of the gate in 2019 when the streaming service premiered The Mandalorian and Wandavision as its first live-action Star Wars and Marvel Cinematic Universe series, respectively. Since then, Disney has seen diminishing returns for both Lucasfilm and Marvel Studios, with subsequent series struggling to achieve the same audience numbers and critical acclaim.

Warning: This article contains full spoilers for The Acolyte episode 5. As soon as The Acolyte, a show all about Dark Side Force users set during the days of the High Republic, was announced Star Wars fans were already complaining about how it was going to destroy canon. After all, how could the series depict Jedi battling the Sith when the Jedi thought the Sith had been dead for centuries in The Phantom Menace?

Warning: This article contains spoilers for The Acolyte episode 5. The Acolyte‘s fifth installment, suitably titled “Night” given its dark themes, well and truly shut the haters up by delivering one of the most thrilling episodes of TV Star Wars has ever had. What’s more, unlike last week’s misguided cameo for Ki-Adi Mundi, it even features a callback to the Skywalker Saga that’s got the fans hyped.

‘The Acolyte’ episode 5 Easter egg I’m almost certain you missed reveals how it’s tying into ‘The Rise of Skywalker’

Part wuxia epic and part pulp mystery novel, The Acolyte demonstrates what's possible when Star Wars embraces new characters and genres while abandoning the Dark Side of nostalgia. There isn't a Skywalker to be seen (at least in the four episodes I've watched), or any characters you've met before. It's not trying to fill gaps in pre-existing lore. It's simply a kickass Star Wars story, with perfectly executed action choreography, a bevy of talented actors and a story that feels genuinely fresh. And, best of all, you don't have to be caught up on The Book of Boba Fett or 208 episodes of animated shows to enjoy it.
