SSSW - The Acolyte S1E5 "Night"

Tower of Babble

Star Wars fans rejoice! ‘The Acolyte’ has delivered some of the best lightsaber action we’ve seen in many years. Unfortunately, the good comes with the bad. At least for the characters on the show. As expected, with The Master/The Stranger fully entering the story, it meant that some Jedi weren’t long for this world. That proved to be true more than I think anyone expected. However, as Jecki herself said only last week, “It’s always an honor to get to witness anything or anyone transform into the Force”. Though I’m not sure she meant so soon. This episode was chock full of brutal and surprising deaths and deep cut lore references, that I’m sure satisfied even the nerdiest of Star Wars fans. And despite a character reveal we all saw coming, many interesting questions remain unanswered as we head into the final three episodes of the season. Julian and Rachel break it all down, and predict what role the Sith have yet to play in this story.
