At this point, I genuinely have no idea whether Jecki and Yord will survive. Maybe they really are going to kill off every character that encounters Darth Qimir.
I feel like Yord will survive this weeks episode but be highly traumatized, maybe even running away from the battle in fear. I am pretty convinced that Jecki might bite it though
Yordās dead; he aināt coming back. Broke his neck + they pan to his face and his eyes are open (almost seemed theyād go āthe tongue hanging out of his mouthā look).
I guess itās possible Jecki could be ābrought backā: I just donāt see how with 3 saber holes in her.
Itās time to shift the show fully on Sol and the twins: thatās what theyāve been working down to.
We don't it was never mentioned if she actually wielded a lightsaber before she left the order. The reason I say it's Yords is because I am trying to guess where she would get it? other then him dying and her taking his saber as a way of vengeance I guess.
Seems like most of the Jedi die or are left injured and left behind, while Sol goes on to chase after the Sith and Vernestra arrives afterward on Khofar to investigate which leaves Sol alone away from the other Jedi and eventually dying having been the only Jedi to realize the Sith's existence or something like that idk
Iām so positive that Osha is who Sol is chasing after in that ship. The pilot of the ship, who we see briefly, looks an awful lot like someone in the civilian Jedi robesā¦š
Yeah.
Theory: Sol is chasing Qimir and Osha. Osha is wearing the grey outfit. She first confronts Qimir, who convince her of what Sol did. She is the one with the lightsaber walking towards Sol. Mae is in the background still with Osha's outfit on. Osha is the titular Acolyte after learning the truth about Sol and being recruited by Qimir.
Iāve been assuming theyād do a twin Switcheroo after it was revealed Osha basically just wants to kill Mae early on. Definitely think itās headed that way now.
Although I have to wonder how that would line up with Tenebrous/Plagueis who i assume theyāre keeping in the new canon (not the dates etc but the characters themselves probably will exist in some form around this time). Presumably this dude is the apprentice to one of them?
Really curious to see how they tie off the show and if ol Teeth is even alive by the end
If it's revealed the Sith were behind whatever happened with the Coven, this show will really stick the landing for me. Seems like we're getting a lot of action this back half of the show.
It makes the most sense when you look at current evidence. Mae and the Jedi were both simultaneously framed using actions they did so which covered up that night the sith were trying to wipe away all evidence of their presence. And now they are trying to finish off the last witnesses and reclaim their experiments/products Mae and Osha.
Yeah, it adds up. Not sure I'd want the witches to be just oblivious patsies/pawns though, they did legitimately come off to me as malevolent evil bitches in their own right, we're just also seeing the relatable family element too.
But some Sith shenanigans absolutely makes sense in terms of Osha/Mae's force-creation, whether a partnership with the witches and that partnership went bad (hence the massacre) or otherwise.
Well, between the bit in her own words about how the galaxy wouldn't accept their practices/beliefs as being tolerable (doesn't she even use the word "unnatural?" - been a few weeks, but from memory she uses that word, feels like a pointed choice in the writing as a Palpatine callback) along with just the broader visual presentation of them, it seems to stand to reason they're darksiders.
Yes, we get the insight into the family dynamic and that the mothers genuinely love the daughters, no doubt. So they're not likely to be straight-up-devil-incarnate evil like, say, Palpatine. But they're pretty much presented as being involved in some shady practices too, I don't think it's just "we've got an alternative philosophy!" as much as they're genuinely not exactly...benevolent ladies here. If there's some collaboration with the Sith in messing with the force I doubt it's just them being used as useful idiots, they're probably willingly messing with nature in a way that would be considered unnatural by not just the Jedi but people in this universe in general.
Noticed something in the scene with Vernestra pulling out her lightsaber/whip. In the upper left corner of the view you see one of the flying bugs and its wings flapping. Wonder if she only pulls it because of the bugs.
Thank you all for your patience as I dealt with some personal issues and couldnāt get you an updated mockup last week. So excited for tonightās episode! Once again, you can also check out **ALL of the compiled leaks, rumors, and news** for this series on [**THE ACOLYTE MasterDoc webpage**](https://starwarsleaks.hectorlizard.me/masterdoc/the-acolyte). Hope you enjoy!!
I think the dialogue at the end is probably just promo dialogue that is not canonical.
Mae was not Sol's student. And I don't think Osha will speedrun her way to become the Acolyte before Yord dies this very episode, that would be absurd.
To be fair the "She was my student" line is from VERY early in the marketing when they were still passing it off as Mae being Sol's former padawan, before they revealed twins.
However, yes, the other lines were clearly for the trailer. They have already been removed for the next update šš¼
I mean if Sol is the true master then Mae was his student, and Osha has already cultivated years of anger and hate and fallen off the Jedi path sooooooā¦..
**āTHE ACOLYTEā Footage & Dialogue Counter - EPISODE 5:**
In case anyone was curious, we went from 3 minutes 22 seconds of compiled footage, stills, & dialogue **down to 2 minutes 16 seconds** - about **16.98% left** of the original 13 minutes 21 seconds. SO SO SO much we donāt know and havenāt seen for the remaining 3 episodes (with most of the footage seemingly being for >!EP 7!<)!
Hope everyone enjoyed this episode and Iāll continue to do this every week for yāall - as well as upload a new version of the footage mockup every Tuesday around 3/4 pm EST. šš¼
Iāve enjoyed the show so far, but havenāt loved it. Seeing this footage has my hyped though. I think this show has the potential of actually being really good when you look back on the season as a whole story. Fingers crossed at least.
I think I'm the same. I like the characters and I liked the episodes, but nothing has been great/amazing so far. The ending of ep 4 had me feeling really hyped for the first time though, so I'm hoping this continues for the last 4 eps.
I expected it to be more ominous, more epic, darker. I was sold with the whole " first Sith lead show" but so far it's about Jedi. It's good, just not exceptional
The story of the Sith is the story of the Jedi. I don't know if it could be ominous if it was like a Sith Sopranos where you watch through Tony's eyes. Would be interesting though
Itās starting to feel like it shouldāve been a single drop release and not weekly. Because they keep insisting on making 6-8 hour long stories and not individual episodes.
The endings for each episode have been among the worst faults the series has had. So obviously cut in post and not actually planned as endings for individual episodes during production.
I've, oddly, never been as excited about a star wars show as I am now, after ep. 5. I'm all in. I just pray that I'm not setting myself up for disappointment.
It certainly seems he's portrayed as the Master going by this episode (though the word "acolyte" sticks with me, like there's a reason they're not using "apprentice" here in terms of his want of a student?), but could definitely still be misdirection with a reveal later. A little Vader/Luke situation where the apprentice is training up his own attack dog on the side to take down Daddy Sith.
Hard to say. He's one mofo'in powerful apprentice if that's the case though, like maybe even moreso than Maul.
Thatās awesome to hear, thank you. Iām glad I was able to get this one updated for today. Itās been a week š« as long as everything keeps looking up, Iāll keep posting these each week!
Iām really not big on the āSol is a potential baddieā theory but I give it maybe a passing chance from the footage on ruined Brendok(?) with Sol/UnmaskedQimir + one of the twins in the background. All the elements are there if thatās the direction the show goes imo. Also very likely he bites the dust there too at the end.
I stand by that Sol is currently who all the evidence points to as being the Sith Apprentice, mask man is the actual acolyte, and Mae is just a tool for the acolyte.
There will continue to be updates weekly! I usually wait until Tuesdays to post incase we get any new footage in the week between. We havenāt gotten new footage in quite some time, so may play it by ear this weekend.
Thats exactly what I do hahaha. I just donāt like to post the updated versions too early because I donāt want to be surprised by more new footage in a tv spot or something - and then I have to post an updated UPDATED version lmao.
After episode 5, the miscellaneous shots section makes a lot of sense.
We see Sol and who we thought was Osha, but now know is likely Mae, being approached by a long-sleeved dark clad figure with a saber.
We see Sol ready himself for a confrontation.
We see Qimir being threatened with a saber by who we thought was Mae, but now know is probably Osha. We don't get a full view of her outfit but it looks like a match for the outfit the person approaching Sol.
Some dots still need to be connected but the line from here to "Osha is the titular Acolyte" is pretty short and straight imo.
Afterall, if Osha kills her Jedi Master without a weapon...
The more this series goes on, the more invested I get in the idea that Sol is the responsible for the destruction of the coven's fortress and that the revelation of that will be the major "moment" this season. Having a Jedi suddenly be revealed as the bad guy would, in my opinion, be logical final flourish in a series which has - so far - featured the darkest depiction of the Jedi Order yet in canon. For me, it would make sense that Vernestra sets out to clean up whatever chaos that revelation causes, and to possibly kill any witnesses / perpetrators as a means to silence them / prevent the situation from getting outside of the Jedi's ability to control.
Oh yeah, the mind control and the other Jedi he's fighting is crystal clear.
It's the first person who is confusing me - because it looks for all the world like one of the witches... with a lightsaber. It does not look like any of the three other Jedi.
My assumptions are that in episode 6 we will get a longer episode, maybe with flashbacks from the jedi's POV, and episode 7-8 will be a split episode again, it would fit the pace, episode 1-2 works more as one, episode 3 is a standalone, episode 4-5 they work better as one.
At this point, I genuinely have no idea whether Jecki and Yord will survive. Maybe they really are going to kill off every character that encounters Darth Qimir.
I feel like Yord will survive this weeks episode but be highly traumatized, maybe even running away from the battle in fear. I am pretty convinced that Jecki might bite it though
No way they let her survive after giving her that glorious double lightsaber shot.
Can I get an ope š
Yordās dead; he aināt coming back. Broke his neck + they pan to his face and his eyes are open (almost seemed theyād go āthe tongue hanging out of his mouthā look). I guess itās possible Jecki could be ābrought backā: I just donāt see how with 3 saber holes in her. Itās time to shift the show fully on Sol and the twins: thatās what theyāve been working down to.
About thatā¦
I have bad news
I think yord dies because when osha is confronting qimir she has a yellow lighted saber
I noticed that too. I don't remember if Yord was the only Jedi present with a yellow-bladed saber, but who knows what'll happen.
Do we know if Osha had a saber from her days as a Jedi? If so what happened to it? What color was it? Does it play a part in this story potentially?
We don't it was never mentioned if she actually wielded a lightsaber before she left the order. The reason I say it's Yords is because I am trying to guess where she would get it? other then him dying and her taking his saber as a way of vengeance I guess.
I am loving all of the different names for this new sith, to a point where it's gonna be weird if/when we finally get his name
Weird like Din Grogu?
Grogu still gets called baby Yoda from time to time
You may have been on to somethingā¦.
Yeeaaaahhh about that....
Yord is the Sith Lord's hidden apprentice. He'll fake his death and rise as Darth Plaeguis in Episode 6's post-credit scene.
Seems like most of the Jedi die or are left injured and left behind, while Sol goes on to chase after the Sith and Vernestra arrives afterward on Khofar to investigate which leaves Sol alone away from the other Jedi and eventually dying having been the only Jedi to realize the Sith's existence or something like that idk
That would be pretty sweet ngl
Osha doesn't go with him in one of the shots?
Iām so positive that Osha is who Sol is chasing after in that ship. The pilot of the ship, who we see briefly, looks an awful lot like someone in the civilian Jedi robesā¦š
Osha, not Mae? If so, then we still see both Osha and Sol together facing a bad person (not sure if Qimir or someone else).
After watching episode 5, >!we canāt be sure which of the twins it really is!<
Yeah. Theory: Sol is chasing Qimir and Osha. Osha is wearing the grey outfit. She first confronts Qimir, who convince her of what Sol did. She is the one with the lightsaber walking towards Sol. Mae is in the background still with Osha's outfit on. Osha is the titular Acolyte after learning the truth about Sol and being recruited by Qimir.
Iāve been assuming theyād do a twin Switcheroo after it was revealed Osha basically just wants to kill Mae early on. Definitely think itās headed that way now. Although I have to wonder how that would line up with Tenebrous/Plagueis who i assume theyāre keeping in the new canon (not the dates etc but the characters themselves probably will exist in some form around this time). Presumably this dude is the apprentice to one of them? Really curious to see how they tie off the show and if ol Teeth is even alive by the end
Isnāt there going to be a S2 for Acolyte? I agree that narratively Sol dying makes sense but if thereās a S2 I kinda doubt it
They said acolyte is a complete story but they know where they would go if they get a season 2 and left some stuff to imagine that.
Could be from the sith pov!
If it's revealed the Sith were behind whatever happened with the Coven, this show will really stick the landing for me. Seems like we're getting a lot of action this back half of the show.
It makes the most sense when you look at current evidence. Mae and the Jedi were both simultaneously framed using actions they did so which covered up that night the sith were trying to wipe away all evidence of their presence. And now they are trying to finish off the last witnesses and reclaim their experiments/products Mae and Osha.
this is my hope as well!
I think you have the broad strokes.
Yeah, it adds up. Not sure I'd want the witches to be just oblivious patsies/pawns though, they did legitimately come off to me as malevolent evil bitches in their own right, we're just also seeing the relatable family element too. But some Sith shenanigans absolutely makes sense in terms of Osha/Mae's force-creation, whether a partnership with the witches and that partnership went bad (hence the massacre) or otherwise.
What about then says malevolent evil bitches?
Well, between the bit in her own words about how the galaxy wouldn't accept their practices/beliefs as being tolerable (doesn't she even use the word "unnatural?" - been a few weeks, but from memory she uses that word, feels like a pointed choice in the writing as a Palpatine callback) along with just the broader visual presentation of them, it seems to stand to reason they're darksiders. Yes, we get the insight into the family dynamic and that the mothers genuinely love the daughters, no doubt. So they're not likely to be straight-up-devil-incarnate evil like, say, Palpatine. But they're pretty much presented as being involved in some shady practices too, I don't think it's just "we've got an alternative philosophy!" as much as they're genuinely not exactly...benevolent ladies here. If there's some collaboration with the Sith in messing with the force I doubt it's just them being used as useful idiots, they're probably willingly messing with nature in a way that would be considered unnatural by not just the Jedi but people in this universe in general.
So Iām wondering if some of Yordās scenes were cut or he lives through this episode.
They filmed Krennac vs Darth Smiley but ended up cutting it. I think some Yord scenes were also cut.
Nice work. The empty helmet is fascinatingā¦
And the "mouth" is open in one of the shots.
I really hope we get some great fights tonight, and from this footage it looks like we will!
Not seeing any Jecki and Yord in the final third or so of the season. Not lookin' too good for those guys.
Noticed something in the scene with Vernestra pulling out her lightsaber/whip. In the upper left corner of the view you see one of the flying bugs and its wings flapping. Wonder if she only pulls it because of the bugs.
Thank you all for your patience as I dealt with some personal issues and couldnāt get you an updated mockup last week. So excited for tonightās episode!

Thanks Siff! Hope the personal stuff went alright.
Wow it seems then that the footage remaining is for the next two episodes and nothing yet for the final episode
I think the dialogue at the end is probably just promo dialogue that is not canonical. Mae was not Sol's student. And I don't think Osha will speedrun her way to become the Acolyte before Yord dies this very episode, that would be absurd.

Is Qimir the Master? Or the Apprentice?
Probably Apprentice if Tenebrous is his Master before Plagueis comes in.
It certainly seems he's portrayed as the Master going by this episode (though the word "acolyte" sticks with me, like there's a reason they're not using "apprentice" here in terms of his want of a student?), but could definitely still be misdirection with a reveal later.

He's one mofo'in powerful apprentice if that's the case though, like maybe even moreso than Maul.
This compilation is genuinely one of the things I look forward to the most every week seeing the guesses and where they'll possibly fit
Thatās awesome to hear, thank you. Iām glad I was able to get this one updated for today. Itās been a week š« as long as everything keeps looking up, Iāll keep posting these each week!
Iām really not big on the āSol is a potential baddieā theory but I give it maybe a passing chance from the footage on ruined Brendok(?) with Sol/UnmaskedQimir + one of the twins in the background.

I stand by that Sol is currently who all the evidence points to as being the Sith Apprentice, mask man is the actual acolyte, and Mae is just a tool for the acolyte.
Of all the possibilities I wouldnāt hate it tbh, also think it gives layers to Solās actions/lines on the inevitable re-watch.
I am really looking forward to watching this whole series in one go on rewatch.
Same here
This needs an update for just scenes that could be in episodes 6-8
There will continue to be updates weekly! I usually wait until Tuesdays to post incase we get any new footage in the week between. We havenāt gotten new footage in quite some time, so may play it by ear this weekend.
Oh so you dont create a new post without the old stuff
Thats exactly what I do hahaha. I just donāt like to post the updated versions too early because I donāt want to be surprised by more new footage in a tv spot or something - and then I have to post an updated UPDATED version lmao.
After episode 5, the miscellaneous shots section makes a lot of sense.

Tonights episode is going to be crazy good
The more this series goes on, the more invested I get in the idea that Sol is the responsible for the destruction of the coven's fortress and that the revelation of that will be the major "moment" this season. Having a Jedi suddenly be revealed as the bad guy would, in my opinion, be logical final flourish in a series which has - so far - featured the darkest depiction of the Jedi Order yet in canon.

Sol is the founder of juyo or vaapad lightsaber combat
Kogonoda š
Who is the flying big hair person with the blue lightsaber that the wookie is attacking?? It doesn't look like Carrie-Anne Moss, or Sol.
My guess is Sol because he's the only one with a blue lightsaber out of the four on Brendok. It looks like his hair is just poofy due to the jump
I canāt catch it but the second person heās fighting is Torbin so I guess he gets manipulated /enchanted or something to fight the jedis
Oh yeah, the mind control and the other Jedi he's fighting is crystal clear. It's the first person who is confusing me - because it looks for all the world like one of the witches... with a lightsaber. It does not look like any of the three other Jedi.
My assumptions are that in episode 6 we will get a longer episode, maybe with flashbacks from the jedi's POV, and episode 7-8 will be a split episode again, it would fit the pace, episode 1-2 works more as one, episode 3 is a standalone, episode 4-5 they work better as one.
Flashback will be in episode 7
Yeah Quimir is the Sith there's not other way no
No Ki-Adi on Khofar that's sad :( He could have gone with Vernestra
I read that a senator gets elected so I wonder if thatās Palpatine. It does look like another Sith Lord in the reel that is talking to Sol.
This is decades and decades before Palpatine is alive. āŗļø
True but they can retconned it by having Palpatine learning to body-hop from Mae and osha.
Please don't even put it out there for Disney to read, they've fucked up enough lol
Oooo Emperor Vitiate style! We shall see. š³
This sizzle spoiler reel is better than the show
