Podcast Stardust #757: The Acolyte – Episode 8 – The Acolyte

by Podcast Stardust

The season finale of The Acolyte brings Sol, Osha, Mae, and the Stranger into a dangerous final confrontation while Jedi Master Vernestra Rwoh investigates.

After seven episode of intrigue, the table is set for the season finale of The Acolyte. The last episode revealed the truth of what happened on Brendok 16 years ago. Now, Osha, Mae, and Sol must deal with the fallout. The Stranger’s presence only amplifies the tension and danger. Plus, Jedi Master Vernestra Rwoh has a strike team of Jedi Knights ready to swoop in and bring this all to a resolution. In this episode of Podcast Stardust, we are discussing the season finale. We are addressing the questions that were answered and turning to the questions that were then raised. There is a lot to get into, so thank you for joining us for this episode.

In this fully episode of Podcast Stardust, we discuss:

  • Osha’s vision when she puts on Qimir’s helmet,
  • More about who and what Osha and Mae are how they were created,
  • Senator Rayencourt’s meeting with Vernestra,
  • Whether we have sympathy for Sol and whether he is solely to blame for everything that happened,
  • Why the Jedi are always portrayed as deeply flawed,
  • How this episode and prior episodes foreshadow the original trilogy,
  • The epic fight scenes,
  • The conspiracy the Jedi engage in to cover everything up, and
  • The cameos in the season finale.
