‘The Acolyte’ Delivered Its Most Infuriating But Highly Predictable Death, Proving that Mae Was the Jedi Osha Could Never Be

‘Star Wars: The Acolyte’ yesterday released its final episode. While we’re waiting for season 2 to be possibly confirmed, we’re left dealing with the consequences of the finale episode and everything that was revealed.

Two major characters have been teased in the episode, that have a possible influence on the potential season 2, however, we lost one important character, a fan-favorite. No matter, how predictable his death was, fans are still angry for the way it ended.

We are of course talking about Master Sol, an extremely flawed Jedi Master who was directly responsible for the death of Mother Aniseya and indirectly responsible for the death of the entire coven.

Master Sol kept the truth hidden from Osha for 16 years, and when she learned about the role he played in her entire family dying. She snapped, force-choked Master Sol, and in the process turned her lightsaber red, bleeding the Kyber Crystal.

As I’ve already mentioned before, the death was predictable beacuse for the continuity to stay intact, all who witnessed Qimir stating he was Sith had to die. The show already took care of the vast majority of Jedi in episode 5. The final episode took care of Master Sol, Mae’s mind was wiped and Osha joined Qimir.

However, death was still infuriating, not beacuse Sol did not deserve to face the consequences of his actions, but beacuse it was delivered by the wrong person through the wrong means.

Ironically enough, Mae who suffered the most from Sol’s lies, and basically had her life uprooted making ends meet through the galaxy following the death of the coven, showed enough restraint and refused to finish Master Sol. She wanted him to face the Jedi Council, the Republic, and the Senate, she wanted to clear her name through and through.

Osha is the one who delivers the killing blow, proving that her inadequacy to be the Jedi had nothing to do with her sister or Master Sol, it was her all along. She is highly impulsive, highly naive, and easily led astray, and I’m going to be extremely angry if she eventually gets a ” redemption arc” while Mae’s character is thrown under the bus once again.

If ‘The Acolyte’ continues, I really hope that we’re going to see Mae become the Jedi, the girl who defeated her inner darkness in more ways than one. Which is ironic considering that she was shown as the impulsive sociopathic one.
