The Acolyte starts off a hundred years before the end of revenge of the Sith.
The premise is that the Jedi have lived in peace for hundreds of years, until now, where a dark side user grows their powers in the shadows.
The show begins with Mae, the evil twin hell bent on killing 4 Jedi masters on some crusade for reasons we don’t know yet, enters a village bar and challenges carry Anne moss to the death, she is bested until she throws a dagger at the bar keep to which Jedi trinity saves, leaving her guard down to die by a dagger.
I was surprised to learn that daggers are more lethal than lightsabers after the Kenobi show and how Anakin’s lightsaber through Reva’s chest wasn’t effective, and then Vader’s lightsaber through adult Reva, as well.
We see Mae’s lightside twin, Osha who wakes up on a ship, when her buddy brags about the wild night he and the crew mates had on Nar Shaddaa, nar shaddaa is like Star Wars Vegas. Not much law, crime world ran by the Hutts.
Neimodians no longer have their asian accent that George Lucas had all throughout the prequels, maybe these guys are from a different part of the galaxy…
The Jedi arrive on the ship and led by Jedi knight Yord and another Jedi, who fills the audience on what the story is. Osha left the order 6 years ago, she was found in a fire when she was around 8, and then they accuse her of killing a Jedi master. But of course, it was her twin.
They take her in a prison transport for questioning to Coruscant.
It’s nice to see coruscant again, as Master Sol trains younglings, when he speaks with Master Vernestra.
The backstory is, that Sol saved Osha and saved her from a fire on her home on Brendok as a kid, he doesn’t believe that she killed the Jedi Master Trinity.
They decide to keep this possibility hush hush as if it were to leak, their political enemies could use it against them.
Osha is on the droid ship, it eventually goes down, and she escapes, after saving one of the last inmates, he takes the last pod and she crash lands on some ice planet.
As Master sol observes his former apprentice’s hologram, we see how he still has attachment to her. He’s like a very weak version of Qui-Gon Jinn. Kind of does his own thing, but not as confident or stoic as Qui-Gon. He recognizes the Jedi aren’t always right.
Osha wakes up and she has a vision of Mae and herself when they were young, during the fire on their home of Brendok. They speak with each other and I feel like there’s some force connection dyad thing going on between them to facilitate this.
Sol gathers two other Jedi, Yord and dafnee keene’s character Jecki, who is a Padawan which is indicated with her braid.
He tells the story of Osha and Mae, revealing that they are twin sisters, and that Mae started a fire when they were kids, this fire killed their whole family.
They find Osha on the ice planet, she tells them she didn’t kill the Jedi Master, Sol believes her, and they take her with them.
Mae walks by the beach as she comes to her master, who is saying a Jedi is essentially invincible to metal or lightsabers, except against an acolyte, who fights without a weapon, and just stealths their way through everything.
An acolyte kills the dream.
Overall I thought was meh, I’m not invested in the characters yet, so it’ll take some time. You can’t just start killing people off and expecting the viewer to be totally invested in the death of these characters. You have to spend an episode or 2 to get used to them, build their story, let us connect with them, then in episode 3 or 4 or something, they start dropping like flies, and everything just takes off super fast because of the exposition from the first 2 episodes.
