After Qimir was unveiled as The Stranger in ‘The Acolyte,’ Leslye Headland hinted at the presence of another Sith in the show. We expect to discover the identity of this second Sith tomorrow with the release of the final episode.
Many theories suggest that Master Sol is a Sith Lord or that Darth Tenebrous will be introduced. However, based on Episode 7, the truth seems much simpler than these speculations.
If you suspect that Mother Koril is a mysterious Sith Lord, I have to agree with you. The show, particularly the latest episode, has dropped some significant hints in that direction.
Let’s consider who opposed the Jedi the most in Episodes 3 and 7. Mother Koril was antagonistic from the start and significantly contributed to the tension between the Witches of Brendok and the visiting Jedi.
Additionally, Mother Koril advocated for a tougher approach to raising the twins. She was extremely opposed to the twins being tested,...

This week, we’re anticipating the finale of ‘Star Wars: The Acolyte,’ one of the most controversial entries in the Star Wars franchise. The show has received a lukewarm critical reception and a notably negative social response, much of which is tied to factors unrelated to the show itself.
Nearly every aspect of ‘The Acolyte’ has been scrutinized intensely, largely due to its marketing as the “gayest Star Wars show ever.” Despite not living up to its “woke” label, the show has disappointed in terms of quality, in my subjective opinion.
In recent weeks, there has been speculation about potential plans for a second season of ‘The Acolyte.’ Showrunner Leslye Headland expressed her desire for at least three or four seasons, admitting that she put everything into season 1 but could still introduce new mysteries for season 2. She acknowledged ongoing conversations about the show’s continuation, though it’s too early...

In an era where audiences are peddled an onslaught of remakes, sequels, and requels, few attempts at adapting existing works really manage to stand out. That one of these precious few was immediately trashed by critics who didn’t understand it and mismanaged by a company that was too scared to court controversy, is a shame. That show, though you may not expect it, was none other than Paramount’s own “Heathers”, which aired in 2018.
The series, created by Jason Micallef, had the same basics as Daniel Waters and Michael Lehmann’s film of the same name, fixating on a group of students at Westerberg High School in Sherwood, Ohio, and the deeply messy politics and behavior that comes with that. It retained the main crew of three “mean-girls” Heathers, along with the blasé “good person” Veronica and her faux-tortured murderer love interest Jd.

The Acolyte Showrunner Plays Coy on Qimir's Potential Connection to Knights of Ren - Main Image
The Acolyte showrunner Leslye Headland recently weighed in on the popular fan theory surrounding Qimir's potential connection to the Knights of Ren.
Since episode 5's reveal of Qimir as the mysterious Sith Lord, fans have speculated that he might have tie-ins to the Knights of Ren, especially since the "Kylo Ren Theme" was briefly played during the episode's final scene.
So far, the series has not fully explored Qimir's backstory or his overall master plan, but the theory continues to be discussed by fans heading to the first season finale this week.

One of the most contentious elements of ‘The Acolyte’ centered around the coven of witches residing on Brendok. Introduced in episode 3, these witches possessed the ability to conceive children without male involvement, strongly implying the twins as a precursor to The Chosen One.
Among the prominent figures in the coven is Mother Aniseya. While she did not bear the twins herself—that role belonged to Mother Korin—Headland clarified that it was Aniseya’s power that brought them into existence. Aniseya holds leadership within the witch coven.
Aniseya and the entire coven were depicted with ambiguous morality regarding their actions. They harbored suspicions toward the Jedi and sought to integrate two young girls into their group. Aniseya experienced heartbreak upon Osha’s desire to leave them, yet in her final moments, she acknowledged she would have permitted it.

The Acolyte is nearing the end of its first season, with several controversial revelations plaguing the show’s tenure. The series was heavily criticized by Star Wars fans for breaking the franchise’s lore on several occasions. However, the revelation of the twins being created by the Force was arguably the most controversial.

During a recent interview, showrunner Leslye Headland talked about the twins’ origin being similar to Anakin Skywalker’s, which some fans argued made the latter less special. Headland revealed the twins’ fate, settling the debate once and for all. In the process, she also restored George Lucas’ original lore, and here is what she had to say.

We’re slowly coming closer to the final episode of ‘The Acolyte,’ and the story of Osha, Mae, Qimir, and Master Sol will hopefully be wrapped up. We’ve left two major cast members behind in episode 5 when fan-favorites Jecki Lon and Yord were brutally killed by Qimir, proving how menacing and dangerous he is.
Headland recently explained how the big twist of episode 5 wasn’t the indemnity of The Stranger, since it was obvious from the first scene that it was a “goofy” poison seller, the big twist was that the showrunners did not shy away from eliminating two major characters more than halfway through the show.
During her recent press release, Leslye Headland was asked whether fans can expect to see more of Jecki and Lon, and she sort of teased that there is, but perhaps not in a way that we would expect:

It's become clear in recent weeks that The Acolyte, while not the disaster some hoped, has made some missteps. A second season is far from guaranteed as we write this and it's starting to feel like the show will leave us with a long list of unanswered questions, many of which will no doubt be addressed in future books and comics.
In that sense, it feels like the sequels all over again; now, though, showrunner Leslye Headland has finally elaborated on what The Acolyte's mysterious Sith villains want during this High Republic Era.
"As we started to break it out and started to think about, 'If I'm a Sith living in hiding during this period,' and what I know about Sith from watching the prequels, as well as the sequels, what is the holy grail for the Sith?" she told Collider (via SFFGazete.com). "Not what do they quote...

Leslye Headland has a plan.
Much like how she drew on her love of the “Star Wars” Expanded Universe in setting up her reveal of who the Sith Lord is on “The Acolyte,” the showrunner of the Disney+ series says she knows exactly how the events of her show connect with Darth Plagueis and Palpatine (a.k.a. Darth Sidious), the Sith Lords who will be active decades later.
In an interview published July 10, Nerdist asked Headland, “I’ve been waiting many years for Darth Plagueis to show up. Do you know how the whole story of the galaxy far, far away, from ‘The Acolyte’ to him training Palpatine, connects?”
Headland said, “Yes, I do. If I continue to get to tell this story, I know how I would like that to play out. And I would say I think it’s pretty complicated and messy.”
Well now.

The Acolyte Showrunner Addresses Osha and Mae's Connection to Anakin Skywalker After Episode 7 Reveal - Main Image
The Acolyte showrunner Leslye Headland recently addressed the fan theories surrounding Osha and Mae's powers in comparison to Anakin Skywalker.
The flashback episodes of the series revealed a shocking twist regarding the origins of Osha and Mae as they confirmed that they were created by Mother Aniseya's coven using a Force vergence.
Not only that, the recently-aired episode 7 also suggested that Osha and Mae may not be biological twins after all and they are two bodies that were split by a single consciousness based on their M-count.

Since The Acolyte episode 8's reveal regarding Mae and Osha's origins, fans have speculated that the twins might be more powerful than any Jedis and have a similar power level as Anakin Skywalker.

This week's penultimate episode of The Acolyte, "Choice," brought us back to the tragic events of Mae and Osha's past to reveal what really happened on Brendock all those years ago.
As we all suspected, the Jedi - Sol, in particular - played a much bigger role in the destruction of the coven and the death of Mother Aniseya than either of the twins realizes. We also learned some interesting new details about Mae and Osha, and how they came into existence.
It's suggested that the sisters aren't actually twins at all, and were "created" by the coven via a Force vergence on the planet and are essentially two halves of the same being. Details were left intentionally vague, but showrunner Leslye Headland has now confirmed that we will find out more in next week's season finale.

This week's episode of The Acolyte may have essentially just retold the events of the third episode from the Jedi's perspective, but new comments from showrunner Leslye Headland suggest it sets the stage for the finale in a more significant way than first expected.
Fans were quick to point out that we didn't see Mother Koril die in "Choice" but does that mean she's in cahoots with The Stranger and potentially even his secret Sith Master?
"No body, no death. That’s what I’ll say about that one," Headland told Nerdist (via SFFGazette.com). "[Koril and Qimir] do not know each other. But what I will say, as a tease, if we are able to explore this story more, her species will tell you a little bit about where she ends up."

This week’s episode of ‘The Acolyte’ brought some new information to the live-action canon of the Star Wars franchise. We’ve gotten some expanded information regarding Force Vergence and we’ve finally learned the true origin of the twins Osha and Mae.
We’ve speculated before that their origin was different than that of Anakin, they were presumably created by the Coven’s twisting and manipulation of the Force. As it turns out we were wrong and they are truly oddly similar to Anakin.
Fans have been afraid that Osha and Mae will be Anakin ripoffs ever since the famous sentence “they have no father” was uttered. It’s unclear whether the girls are the Vergence or Vergence was manipulated merely to create them, still, their origin as “the chosen ones” of the High Republic Era is clear. Something I was hoping that the show wouldn’t lead into.

‘Star Wars: The Acolyte’ stands out for several reasons. It is the first and only live-action Star Wars series set during the High Republic Era. The show has become highly polarizing within the franchise, with some fans praising it as the best live-action series and others deeming it the worst.
Given the show’s unique setting, most fans did not expect to see familiar characters from other live-action entries. The notable exception was Ki-Adi-Mundi, whose cameo ended up causing more controversy than satisfaction.
Given that the show takes place 100 years before ‘The Phantom Menace,’ it is set in a period when the Jedi believe the Sith are extinct. Despite this, the show introduced Qimir, also known as The Stranger, adding significant elements to the canon. With Leslye Headland hinting at the presence of another secret Sith character, fans began theorizing about connections between Qimir, Darth Tenebrous, and Darth Plagueis, potentially leading to Palpatine,...

‘Star Wars: The Acolyte’ is a special show for several reasons. First, it’s the first and so far only live-action Star Wars show set during the High Republic Era. It’s also one of the most polarizing shows in the franchise, with some fans considering it the best live-action show, and some considering it the worst.
Due to the unique setting of the show, not many fans were hoping to see (or hear references) to characters they’ve seen in live-action, with the exception being Ki-Adi-Mundi, whose cameo caused more problems than it resolved.
Considering that the show takes place 100 years before ‘The Phantom Menace’ this is a point in Star Wars’ timeline when Sith are considered to be extinct by the Jedi order. The show still introduced Qimir aka The Stranger, with some major additions to the canon. Now since Headland was teasing that there is one more Sith in the show,...

Leslye Headland, the showrunner of The Acolyte, recently shared some intriguing insights about the series’ future and the fate of one of its key characters, Osha. Speaking with Entertainment Weekly, Headland was candid about potential future seasons and how they have prepared plot points that could expand the narrative. The Fate of Osha In the intense final minutes of the episode titled ‘Destiny,’ Osha finds herself in a harrowing predicament. Her sister Mae traps her in a burning room, rejecting Osha’s desire to leave their life together on Brendok behind. Osha manages to escape through an adjacent series of pipes...

This week’s episode of ‘The Acolyte’ was met with mixed reactions, mainly due to the portrayal of the Jedi but it also cleared the connection between Osha, Mae, and Force Vergence, and introduced some new Force abilities, beyond what we’ve previously seen in live action.
At several moments during the episode, the Witches of Brendok, mainly Mother Aniseya and Mother Korin managed to transform themselves into an ethereal black smoke.
Seeing this led Master Sol to completely lose hold of his senses, and it caused him to kill Mother Aniseya, sparking a chain of events that kickstarted the whole plot of ‘The Acolyte.’
The power looks cool, despite clearly being associated with the Dark Side, but in her latest interview with the Nerdist, Leslye Headland cleared up that we’ve already sort of seen this power in action, as it’s closely related to the transformation into Force Spirit.

Next week marks the release of the final episode of ‘The Acolyte.’ The series has had a tumultuous journey, filled with controversy, epic moments, and a highly polarizing reception.
As the cast members build excitement for the finale, Leslye Headland is hinting at the show’s future. While there is no official news about a second season, its fate likely depends on viewership and profitability assessments. However, Headland has shared some updates, leaving fans hopeful.
In a recent Nerdist interview after Episode 7’s release, Headland confirmed discussions about a potential second season for the show. However, she remains uncertain about when a decision will be reached.

In the fifth episode of The Acolyte, The Stranger approached a downed Osha as Kylo Ren's familiar theme could be heard playing subtly in the background. Then, if you waited through the credits last week, the familiar musical cue was impossible to miss.
It's back in "Choice" (you can read our recap of the episode here), this time when the mind-controlled Kelnacca attacks Padawan Torbin. It's an odd place to include it, albeit one which makes us wonder whether the coven has ties to the Dark Side group - the Knights of Ren - that Ben Solo joins and takes charge of upon becoming Kylo Ren.

The latest installment in the Star Wars franchise, ‘The Acolyte,’ premiered a month ago and sparked considerable controversy. Even before its release, statements from the cast and showrunner were deemed scandalous by many, leading to significant fan backlash.
In my opinion, the show didn’t meet expectations, but the personal attacks directed at almost everyone involved were entirely unwarranted.
Amandla Stenberg, the star of the show portraying twins Mae and Osha, faced more criticism than other cast members. She even released a song addressing her “haters and racists” online. Despite this, she maintained a positive outlook on the true essence of Star Wars.
George Lucas has occasionally stated that Star Wars is about politics, while in more recent interviews, he described it as a kids’ movie.

Could Mother Koril Be the Real Sith Lord? The Acolyte Fans Think So - Main Image
The latest episode of The Acolyte just revealed exactly what happened on Brendok that led to the destruction of Mother Aniseya’s coven. However, some questions remain about the overall story—specifically about Qimir.
Many fans are convinced that Qimir is working for someone else pulling the strings, and the latest episode, Choice, may have just given a hint on who exactly he’s working for and how they were tied to the coven.
Is Mother Koril a Sith Lord?
Following the latest episode, fans deduced that Mother Koril orchestrates Qimir’s actions. She trained him, shaping him into a tool for her vendetta against the Jedi.
As some fans have pointed out when Torbin and Sol clash with the witches, Koril uses the same technique Aniseya uses: she turns into a mist but never reappears.

There’s only one way to judge a new Star Wars property in this day and age: Watch it yourself.
Leslye Headland’s “The Acolyte” premiered on June 4 and earned positive response from critics for the first four episodes. The audience ratings are far lower, a combination of disappointed Star Wars purists, bigots, and probably a few trolls. Mileage varies in a major franchise, but rarely this much — and for potential viewers who are curious about the series, it creates a confusing cacophony of shouted disagreement.

Elden Ring is the latest Soulslike game developed by FromSoftware and the gaming community is enamored with the unique character designs of different enemy types. However, some players jumped in without fully comprehending the difficulty of the genre and went in blind.
The developers did not hold back with this project and upped the creativity charts to the maximum limit. It can be daunting to be on the opposite end of an attack by this massive eye sore but it is a testament to the unique approach of the developers to make the players uncomfortable from a distance.

Leslye Headland’s The Acolyte, which is part of the Star Wars saga, sparked high hopes. While the show was initially well-received by fans, it soon became embroiled in issues and controversies.

Now a new controversy is brewing around the corner, this time pulling Disney into it as well. The series once again demonstrates what occurs when a studio inserts excessive limits on an IP, setting it up for failure.
The Acolyte disappoints fans yet again
The most recent episode of The Acolyte has received a lot of attention, but not in a positive manner. While there was a lot of hype surrounding episode 6 of the show, the crowd was disappointed, to say the least.

Even before ‘The Acolyte’ was released, the show generated significant controversy due to statements made by its creator, Leslye Headland. In Headland’s show, the Jedi are depicted as having a monopoly on the Force, a power they exercise regularly, as illustrated in Episode 3 when they confront the Witches of Brendok.
Some of Headland’s pre-release statements suggest that the Jedi are portrayed as the antagonists due to their systemic power.
As you know, ‘The Acolyte’ takes place during the High Republic era, around 100 years before the events of ‘The Phantom Menace.’ This period marks the height of the Jedi power, their golden years, from which everything began to decline. This downfall is partly due to their ego and the lack of threats to their power or authority for centuries.
The Jedi Order was also being undermined by the influence of the Republic’s politics, with rampant corruption and politicization of issues within the order.

This week’s episode of ‘The Acolyte’ revealed a completely different side of Qimir, also known as The Stranger, the newest Sith Lord in the Star Wars franchise. Following episode 5, where he eliminated almost all the Jedi on Khofar, episode 6 presented him in a naked and vulnerable state to Osha.
Showrunner Leslye Headland confirmed much about his motivations and hinted at a developing relationship in the show. She also revealed that she intentionally gave Qimir “female-coded” traits.
In a recent interview with Collider, the show’s creator, Leslye Headland, discussed the dynamics of Qimir and Osha’s current relationship. She explained that Osha will be “seduced” quite literally by the dark side. When asked if Qimir appeared “softer” than Osha on purpose—citing examples like Qimir cooking for Osha and Osha wearing pants—Headland confirmed this was intentional.

Disney’s latest Star Wars venture, ‘The Acolyte,’ debuted on Disney+ on June 4, 2024. Despite facing controversies and review bombing, the series remains one of the most discussed shows currently airing. This isn’t entirely surprising given the immense hype and controversy it generated.
Showrunner Leslye Headland has been a focal point of controversy due to her remarks and responses online. Despite the criticism directed towards Headland and her decisions, ‘The Acolyte’ continues to generate significant buzz. It appears to be expanding its own narrative universe by skillfully leveraging existing lore.
Recent episodes have shifted their focus to Osha, now isolated with Qimir. The series appears to draw from previous examples, which can be viewed positively or negatively depending on perspective. Nevertheless, Osha has now joined the ranks of iconic characters such as Darth Vader and Kylo Ren.
In Episode 5, Mae orchestrates a classic switcheroo involving Osha, who finds herself alone with Qimir.
