Warning: The following contains spoilers for The Acolyte episode 7.
Turn back now if you’re not up to date!
The Acolytehas finally lifted the veil on its closely-held secrets and the long-awaited answers are… disappointing?
But the episode doesn’t really accomplish any of those things.
The Jedi are on Brendok searching for a vergence, and they genuinely believe the planet to be uninhabited.
It just all feels rushed.
As she dies, Aniseya says she would have let Osha go with them.
Is Sol spooked by what is acting like a dark power, so acts reflexively?
Koril then possesses Kelnacca, and another well-choreographed fight scene plays out as the Jedi attempt to subdue him.
I have absolutely no idea.
Did Indara do something to them, or was it merely a side effect of their powers being countered?
It’s left frustratingly unexplained.
He makes an abrupt choice to save just Osha, leaving Mae for dead.
When the present is so fascinating, spending an entire episode stuck in the past is a misjudgment.
Could they be adyad?
We’ll have to wait to find out.
