Spoilers Star Wars: The Acolyte [Spoilers]

[Older Beholder]

So, with the Kylo music playing with the villain reveal, is anyone thinking he's the first Knight of Ren?

Also, any theories on what Sol might have done? There's a dark past there that gets hinted at each episode. I can't shake the scene where he took a blood sample from Osha before testing her on his ship. Was that used to bring Mae back, either by clone or by force?

I think Sol had crept into the Nightsisters complex to sneak Osha (and maybe Mae) out, but somehow (intentionally or inadvertently) made the fire worse. He may have even killed the Nightsisters (again, on purpose or by "self defense," which would be difficult to justify if he broke in and was sneaking around).

Anyway, this episode had some better action. I will miss Jecki and Yord, but they each had their moments of glory. Jecki pulling out Kalnacca's saber was a cool bit. Earlier in the fight when the lightsabers were fritzing out on the cortosis, I was thinking one of the Jedi would push Qimir's lightsaber onto one of his vambraces to short out Qimir's blade. Yord using the helmet was better and a more believable maneuver.

And what, Sol just leaves all the bodies there on Khofar? Jecki, Yord, and Kalnacca deserved better than that! And Sol can't tell Mae from Osha through the Force? Maybe we are seeing an early version of how Palpatine avoided detection by the Jedi for so long? Clearly Qimir knows he has Osha, and Bazil's supersniffer will alert Sol next episode, I think.

At first I thought he knew it was Mae, since he didn't use names and said sister. But he wouldn't leave Osha behind.... So, ya. He should be able to tell them apart easily.

Heh. Someone online was calling Qimir "Smilo Ren." The smile does make the mask creepier.

I just assume they send people to collect the bodies later, it’s not really relevant to the story.
As for the twin swap, it was unclear to me if either Qimir or Sol knew there had been a swap.

I think Qimir knows he has Osha because of her hair, and probably her tattoo.

Agreed. 100 percent.

 

[Hussar]

I’m pretty sure Sol knows exactly who May is. He has no intention of leaving the planet.

Here's an example of why I have stay off social media the day the new episode drops in future.
I saw this (not so) cryptic spoiler yesterday...

Also, just out of interest, is this the first time we've seen someone hold an un-activated lightsaber to someone else's head like that? I don't recall it happening before, it's such a dark visual.
