What Happened In The Acolyte Episode 6?
The Acolyte Episode 6 Left The Show’s Final Two Episodes Finely Poised
Before exploringThe Acolyteepisode 7, it is worth recapping what happened inThe Acolyteepisode 6. TheJedi massacre ofThe Acolyteepisode 5marked a major turning point in the series; Yord and Jecki were unceremoniously killed, and Qimir was unmasked as the mysterious Stranger practicing the ways of the Sith. After the many lightsaber duels and Jedi deaths inThe Acolyteepisode 5, Mae and Osha switched places as Master Sol reckoned with events, leading to an interesting albeit exasperating story inThe Acolyteepisode 6.
The Acolyte Episode 6 Review: Star Wars Entry Draws Rey & Kylo Ren Parallels In Frustrating Story
The Acolyte episode 6 slows things down after episode 5’s massacre, resulting in a mixed bag of equally intriguing and unnecessary plot lines.
Qimir Began His Corruption Of Osha
Undoubtedly, the most compelling aspect ofThe Acolyteepisode 6 was the story of Qimir and Osha. After the latter switched places with Mae, she was subject to spending time with Qimir on a faraway planet. Through a flirtatiously antagonistic connection,Qimir began sowing seeds of doubt in Osha’s mind about the Jedi Order. Not only didThe Acolyteepisode 6’s Qimir revealsprove that he was once a Jedi himself, but he also began to probe Osha about why she left the Order.
Qimir stoked Osha’s anger and resentment by endlessly questioning her on why she failed the Jedi, doing so with notable Sith manipulation. While asking Osha why she left the Jedi, he reminded her of the Jedi’s inability to hold attachments and the one-sided relationships she formed with members of the Order. This eventually culminated in Osha’s anger overflowing, stating that she failed. Qimir’s corruption then sinks deeper, with the Stranger telling Osha that only after they lose everything can they finally be free.
Master Sol Promised To Finally Tell Mae The Truth
On the other side ofThe Acolyteepisode 6’s story were Mae and Sol. This storyline was admittedly more frustrating than Osha and Qimir’s, primarily due to the murky, unclear motivations of Mae sinceThe Acolyteepisode 4. Despite trying to kill Sol inThe Acolyteepisode 6, Mae was continuously interrupted by power outages, ship issues, the ever-vigilant Basil, and Sol himself. Throughout the episode, Mae confronted Sol about the events on Brendok, and why the Jedi had not yet told her - or Osha - what really happened that night.
Sol states that he has spent 16 years figuring out what he would say to Mae if he had the chance, before telling her that he will finally explain what happened on Brendok…
At one point, Sol almost told Mae what happened on Brendok before being interrupted. However, after discovering her deceit, Sol stunned Mae and handcuffed her on his ship. Sol states that he has spent 16 years figuring out what he would say to Mae if he had the chance, before telling her that he will finally explain what happened on Brendok. As Sol states this, the episode ends, promising big things forThe Acolyteepisode 7.
The Acolyte Episode 7 Is Expected To Be Another Flashback
The Shrouded Events On Brendok Will Finally Come To Light
Thanks toThe Acolyteepisode 6’s ending,The Acolyteepisode 7 is expected to reveal what happened when Osha and Mae were children. The conversation between Sol and Mae, as well as Osha communing with the Force by donningThe Acolyte’s Sith helmet, positionsThe Acolyteepisode 7 as a flashback episode. For the first time sinceThe Acolyteepisode 3, the show will return to Brendok and explain exactly what happened on the planet that set the events of the series into motion.
The Acolyte Episode 6’s Sith Helmet Scene May Be More Important Than I Realized
The Stranger’s helmet may have a connection to an ancient Sith Lord, and that would spell serious trouble for Osha’s future in The Acolyte.
Some other behind-the-scenes elements support this. For one,The Acolyteepisode 7 is directed by Kogonada, the filmmaker responsible for directingThe Acolyteepisode 3. As such, it is likely the director will provide audiences with the missing half of the story he told on Brendok, detailing the deaths of the witch coven and how Mae’s seemingly small fire resulted in the destruction of the entire fortress. This will undoubtedly answer several of the mysteries that were left behind inThe Acolyteepisode 3, giving more context to the entire story before episode 8’s finale.
One thing that has endlessly been teased about Brendok’s tragic events is the Jedi’s involvement. Masters Sol, Indara, Kelnacca, and then-Padawan Torbin undoubtedly had something to do with the destruction on Brendok, whichThe Acolyteepisode 7 is expected to reveal. Similarly, how Qimir fits into things is expected to be touched on. It is entirely possible that Qimir was on Brendok all those years ago, trying to harness the Power of Two from the witches, which itself was mentioned as anAcolyteepisode 6 Easter eggby Qimir.
Finally,The Acolyteepisode 7’s flashbacks will delve further into the mystery of the Sith. Despite revealing more about Qimir, it is still unclear whether he is a Sith Lord, apprentice, or even a Sith at all. WithThe Acolyteoriginally billed as an exploration of the Sith infiltration that leads to Palpatine’s plan in theStar Warsprequel trilogy, more about the wider motivations of the dark-siders will likely be revealed inThe Acolyteepisode 7 when it releases on Disney+ at 6:00 pm PT, 9:00 pm ET, and 2:00 am BST on July 9.
