All last episode they made a point of how committed Mae was to her tribe/culture, and to the destiny her mother insisted she shared with Osha. It makes sense she'd be committed to that promise once again upon realizing Osha was still alive.

[@chgamer2445]

My theory - The mothers learned how to manipulate the force to create life which sent ripples through the galaxy. Both the sith and jedi went to investigate. Sith want to learn this power. To prevent the knowledge from being shared, the jedi eliminate the cult. Maes tests are basically to get her to learn how to force choke. The force can be manipulated to both destroy and make life. The twins are all that is left to unlock this knowledge

[@UnhandyCandy280]

I like that idea !!!

I agree with the mother but I figured she'd be the apprentice but then she would be the one searching for future apprentices for when she takes out the master. The actual Master might not be part of this at all and the apprentice is prematurely calling herself Master. I had no opinion on secret Jedi backstabbers though.

[@Tuleinaarii]

The Zabrak mother is the Sith, and Qimir (the poison guy) is her Apprentice. An acolyte isn't a real "Sith'', just a lesser follower, like an assassin. Asaaj Ventress basically was an acolyte to Dooku. So he's secretly been deceiving and training Mae to be their acolyte.

I think I felt exactly the way the show intended me to feel with Mae's turnaround. We just assume that she's embarked on a personal vendetta, but we have also seen Qimir and The Master pressure her and frame it as a test. If it was truly her motivation making her kill, she wouldn't need to be coaxed or overseen. We also saw how happy she was to see her sister alive and we've seen that she has a kind heart throughout. Also...it was pretty obvious that she was faking exhaustion and becoming distrustful of Qimir. She was clearly planning something.

[@teacherhomieg]

Osha and Mae are a dyad like the Ying/Yang drawing Kelnacca had in his home at the start of the episode. Mae is the dark side and Osha the light. The Sith couldn’t kill Osha without ruining the dyad so he just force pushes her out of the way.

That Final Scene with The Sith Master was So Awesome but I do wish The Episode was a little longer instead of a very abrupt Cliffhanger.

[@DanielRDrew]

I don't think this would be Plagueis's master's era or older, I think this is Plagueis's era. Sheev was in his 50's ish (Maybe 52?) during Phantom Menace, which means he was born only around 50 years after this show. Which suggests that Plagueis would be running around somewhen near this time period. That's assuming Muun's lifespan is fairly substantial. I actually thought he was going to kill Osha there and then and the Jedi would have to take Mae in. I think what would be interesting is if this season ends with everyone dying, but the Sith keeps going and if we get a second season, it's a little while later and we get more of them as this age comes to a close. Cuz this is literally the time when the HR ends. the 100 years after now is the start of the era that the prequels happen during. So there really has to be some kind of larger end to this era. I mean maybe we'll get a couple time jumps on the publishing side since the Trials of the Jedi phase of publishing is set 197 years before Phantom Menace. So, the 97 year time period has to encompass the rest of the publishing side and this show really. I also wouldn't say no to (if they do all die) a second season being some other completely different aspect of the end of this era still related to whatever the Sith is (or are) doing. Though that could be something don in the comics or novels too. Gah! So many possibilities! ^__^ I love Star Wars.

I'm with you, though -- I would love seeing it. I'm guessing that the mark that Mother Aniseya put on Mae was the coven's collective knowledge of "The Thread" and their abilities, so she, potentially, is the one to give Plagueis the knowledge of causing the midi-chlorians to spontaneously conceive.

@@howdyusayou keep telling yourself that

[@TWD77710]

1. The only way the line in Phantom Menace works is if the jedi group gets killed by Qimir/Darth Venamis, OR if the survivors decide to keep it to themselves and never tell the rest of the Order. Even though Ki Adi Mundi was in the meeting here they never mentioned the Sith in fact they thought it was "one of their own" aka a Jedi or Dark Jedi. Also the jedi are hardheaded and stubborn so ofc Ki Adi Mundi wouldn't even consider the Sith here. 2. As to how Yoda and the high Council knew about the rule of two but not that the Sith were still around well it's easy, somewhere throughout the 1000 years they probably figured this out through Sith holocrons or artifacts, but still believed that eventually they went extinct. Assuming that the acolyte prevents this Sith from being discovered by the rest of the order, it should keep canon intact. 3. As to who "The Master" is, it's one of 6 options. The least likely is Darth Plagueis and Tenebrous. More likely than that is probably one of the Witches (Aniseya is credited for 6 episodes so likely her but Koril only credited for one so prolly not). After that my biggest theory is that it's Qimir, and my hot take is that Qimir is Darth Venamis, making his actions an attempt to overthrow Plagueis and become the only Apprentice to Tenebrous or even kill Tenebrous himself.

*What could’ve been:* ✅ Sith perspective story similar to Darth Plagueis or Darth Bane novels; Sith warrior and inquisitor stories from SWTOR. ✅ Mature and grounded story similar to Andor but with the mysticism of the Dark Side. In-depth look at Sith philosophy as we follow a master/apprentice two vs an entire galaxy story. ✅ Well-written Sith protagonists part of a two-person organization in a thousand-year conspiracy to upset the Galactic status-quo. ✅ New Star Wars timeline. Reality: ❌ The Acolyte…. “The power of one, the power of two. The power of many.”

I'm with Greg, I care more about getting answers to the mystery than I do about the characters, I don't dislike any of them but I'm not really attached to any of them. My favorite so far is definitely Master Sol. Also I think it's pretty obvious the Sith Lord is Qimir (at this point the real twist would be if he wasn't Mae's master).

[@loftyguy11]

There's definitely something we're missing and people just don't know for to wait for things these days. Too used to being able to binge things.

I like it. SW fans seem to think in pack mentality these days. What one hates, all hate. If it was easy to write timeless, epic classics... all movies would be. So it's not a life changing experience...so what ? You don't like it ? so what ? I hated The last Jedi, I actually quite liked Rise of Skywalker. The Acolyte isn't without things I don't like but I'm intrigued. Not everything has to tie into something else from somewhere else.

[@Corvid76]

It's absolutely Koril, the twins other mother who never wanted the children tested and hated the Jedi to begin with. And then the Jedi caused everyone she cared about to either die or be taken away. It's just obvious 101. It's also why she force pushed Osha away instead of just stabbing her at point blank range when she had the chance, then using the very same mass force push that she taught to Mate and that we saw Mae use to escape earlier in the season. There's so Sith lords here, no great mystery, just logically predictable outcomes.

This show sadly doesn’t even feel like The High Republic era it’s supposed to be. With the exception of Sol, Osha and Jecki, the rest of the Jedi don’t seem anything like the more compassionate, wise and open minded Jedi that this era is known for.

My guess for the person in the mask is Mae's Horned-headed mother who may have survived and goin to town on the Jedi. Teens never listen so she had to act fast to take out the Wookie. My theory at least. I'd love for Mae's mom to maybe be Darth Mauls' down the line.

[@XionDarkblood13]

So I was not a fan of Andor, for many reasons but a big one was how comically evil the ISB was. I was really hoping for something more like Kalus. People who genuinely believe they are doing good for the people of the empire. Also there wasn’t any of the “we did so much bad stuff we can’t have it be for nothing” from rogue one and I really wanted to see the “dark side” of the rebellion. This show delivers on what I wanted from this eras Jedi. They are “the guardians of peace and justice”. Like actual knights of the republic. But they are also showing their arrogance and shady ways. They are clearly concerned with appearance more than truth and are willing to hide things to maintain the facade that they are always right and what they do is for the greater good. The line from “the master” about “killing the dream” was chilling and amazing and everything I want from a bad guy. I’m with you guys on something feeling off but I’m willing to wait for the entire series to be out before I pass judgement. I think Mei wanted revenge on the Jedi for killing her sister because that’s what she saw. So Osha being alive completely changes everything she believes. About what happened and who is to blame. Her entire quest for revenge is a lie. They could have shown that a bit better but I think that’s why she changed so quick because who told her the Jedi killed her sister and family? The master. As to the identity of the master… It could be the drug dude. Pretty meh reveal but i can see it. Plaguies is a possibility because sheev was pretty old by the time of the prequels. I wonder if it is Carrie Ann Moss character? That would be a stretch but it did seem like Kelnaka didn’t put up a fight and was cut in the stomach. He would have seen his attacker and he didn’t fight back? He most likely knew his killer and didn’t think they would kill him. I mean it could have been the meditating apprentice guy. Drank the poison, knew that it was going to happen and prepped and antidote and faked his death. But that makes less sense because he had apparently been meditating for years. Unless the Sith thing we see is a puppet… Like a body he controls with the force… So he could have hundreds of those around the galaxy and so it always seems like he is everywhere but in reality he was sitting and meditating right under the jedis noses the whole time. It’s a massive stretch but I am betting it was someone kelnaka knew and trusted that killed him and is the Sith we see. Unless it’s Sol… Did he separate from the group at any point? Obviously he isn’t the one in the mask but… Puppet droid? Decoy kinda deal? I could totally see Sol “dying” and then come back with a short, slick backed haircut like an anime villain and being super cool but these ideas keep getting wilder. TLDR is its got something to do with Plagius for sure. Could be one of the four minus kelnaka obviously. I think it would be cool if making life wasn’t hard for plagius but the catch was it was always twins, light and dark, and he is experimenting to make one child that is both. A chosen one that brings balance…

[@aprilshighfantasysoul5891]

It's interesting to see people surprised at Mae turning away from her master the moment she finds out Osha is alive because to me, it was set up immediately that Mae isn't some evil psychopath. She didn't kill a single civilian in the bar even though she could, she's angry at the jedi because she feels they attacked unarmed people, I doubt Torbin would have taken the poison from her willingly if she didn't have a point, and the moment Osha is brought up you could feel the pain in her scream when she thought Osha was dead and Sol was taunting her - then her drop of guard when she saw Osha and called her Oshie. To me, it would have been odd if finding out Osha was alive DIDN'T change anything for her. I think what the Acolyte is doing is pushing back against our typical assumption about dark side users that they're all just psychopathic, unfeeling monsters who are just flat evil - which is again, odd, because even the OG trilogy showed that anyone can turn back from doing horrific things because of their love and compassion for those they care about.

[@Ginger-ux9tg]

Really can't help but think this series might have been better received had they released everything in one go.... me personally I quite liked the first 2 episodes, then the 3rd came out (oh dear)... and we had to wait a whole week after a truly shocking episode to then get episode 4... not to be a "hater" but literally nothing interesting happened until the last couple of minutes lmao

Im thinking the alchemist is the sith lord with the jagged smile; he is like a jar jar or yoda like character, introduced as a clumsy funny part but is revealed to be much more powerful (if you believe in the darth jar jar idea) He went and killed the wookie after he told mae to rest; he came back and was snared which is why the sith showed up behind them.
