Turn back now if you’re not up to date with the Star Wars show!

It’s the biggest moment yet forThe Acolyte.

The Acolyte

To begin with, it’s not long before we finally find out the identity of thatmysterious Sith Lord.

Another crushing death is young Jecki (Dafne Keen).

Still, she went out like a hero, taking on Qimir alone.

The Acolyte

He just proved too much of a match for the Padawan.

Thanks to those major deaths, it’s truly edge-of-your-seat stuff.

It’s a relief that he survived this installment.

For now, we just have to wait.

Qimir, intriguingly, looks like it’s capable of Force healing, like Rey andGrogu.

Where the story goes from here is anyone’s guess, but I’ll be watching with bated breath.
