With just one episode to go, there’s still a big Sith mystery The Acolyte has yet to resolve: what is The Stranger’s true Sith identity? Have we been watching the story of a Sith Lord from Star Wars‘ past all along or is he someone completely new? More importantly, is he the master or the apprentice? While The Stranger has already shown that he’s very powerful in the dark side, is there an even more terrifying threat preparing to reveal itself in the finale?

[Ed. note: This post contains spoilers for season 1 of Star Wars: The Acolyte.]. Darth Plagueis has made his live action debut thanks to the season 1 finale of The Acolyte. The show didn’t make much mention of the Sith Lord, deciding instead to simply show him peering out from behind a rock in observation of the Stranger (Manny Jacinto) and his soon-to-be-padawan, Osha (Amandla Stenberg). Even still, it’s a pretty monumental moment for longtime dorks who know the tale of Darth Plagueis the Wise by heart.

Star Wars: The Acolyte episode 8 review: "Major cameos and excellent fights, but a shaky landing"

Warning: This article contains spoilers for The Acolyte episode 8. Well, The Acolyte season 1 sure went to some unexpected places, huh? Disney Plus actually did a good job of keeping a lot about its first High Republic era series under wraps ahead of time, so much of what it had to offer — including its twin protagonists, the shocking deaths of halfway through, and its bold deconstructive take on the Jedi — came as pleasant surprises (well, except for the deaths part).

The infamously temperamental Star Wars fandom has hit The Acolyte hard, and it seems to have spooked Lucasfilm into quietly moving away from the Leslye Headland-created series. Since purchasing Lucasfilm and all its incredibly valuable IP from founder George Lucas in 2012, The Walt Disney Company has found its major...

Warning: This article contains spoilers about the episode 8 finale of Star Wars: The Acolyte. Everything was turned upside down heading into the July 16th season 1 finale of The Acolyte. Mae (Amandla Stenberg) went undercover as her sister Osha (also Stenberg) only to be discovered by the man she wanted to kill, Master Sol (Lee Jung-jae). Meanwhile, Osha was making nice with the mysterious Stranger (Manny Jacinto), who had just slain multiple Jedi right in front of her face. She even tried on his creepy helmet, which was probably not the best sign of her direction moving forward.

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)?

We, too, would freak out after being stuck in a sensory deprivation helmet that required the Stranger to free us. But Osha’s concern in The Acolyte’s season finale on Tuesday had to do with the vision she saw of Mae with a lightsaber — though her sister hadn’t used it.The Middle's Eden Sher and Brock Ciarlelli Recap Pilot of Cancelled Sue Heck Spinoff, Share Never-Before-Seen Photos -- Watch



The Stranger was intrigued that Mae might be able to kill without a weapon, after all. He and Osha then agreed to go after her together and see who got to her first.
