The Acolytehas come to an end.
We begin with Osha and Qimir, picking up whereepisode 6left off beforeepisode 7was entirely devoted to a flashback.
The duo travel to Brendok, which is where Sol and Mae are.
Mae escapes pretty quickly and goes on the run down to Brendok, where Sol follows.
It’s another emotional moment that could’ve landed more effectively had it been given more room to breathe.
Osha then chooses to become Qimir’s student, on the condition that he allows Mae to live.
It’s not confirmed, but it would seem that this is none other than Darth Plagueis himself.
It’s a dip into the bureaucracy the Jedi are mired in by the time of the prequels.
He even seems afraid of her noticing him, which is an interesting side to his character.
But, whatever happened between them is a mystery for another day, as we get no further details.
The Acolyte is streaming onDisneyPlus now.
