Top 5 moments from The  Acolyte finale that left us speechless

As a devoted fan of “The Acolyte,” I was left absolutely speechless by the shocking moments in the season finale. The unexpected appearances and revelations kept me glued to my screen, leaving me with a mix of emotions and questions.


The last episode of “The Acolyte” raised many intriguing questions and featured some shocking twists that are sure to spark heated discussions among viewers for the foreseeable future.

Here are the 5 most shocking moments from The Acolyte episode 8, “The Acolyte.”

1. Darth Plagueis the creep

During the climax of the final episode, an ominous character emerges, peering at Osha and Qimir from the shadows. This unexpected appearance sparked amusement with the memes it inspired, but also left viewers on edge. Regrettably, it raised more queries than it answered. The length of Darth Plagueis’ stay on that enigmatic planet and whether Qimir is aware of his presence or works for him remain unanswered questions. This intriguing twist has fueled the belief among fans that a second season is indispensable.

2. Osha hears Master Sol’s confession

On Brendok, Master Sol confesses to killing Mother Aniseya, a revelation that Osha overhears. Although Sol’s actions on Brendok were despicable and likely left Osha feeling deceived, I can’t help but wonder if she had inquired about his motives. The events of episode 7, titled “Choice,” suggest that Sol made the decision in a heartbeat and instantly regretted it. In the series finale, Sol discloses to Osha that he committed the act to safeguard her. Unfortunately, this explanation does little to shed new light on the situation. The absence of a satisfactory reason for Sol’s actions is just as sorrowful as the consequences of his confession. Nonetheless, it comes as an unexpected and jarring moment when Osha reacts to Master Sol’s admission.

3. Osha Force chokes Sol

Several spectators anticipated that Osha would be the one to eliminate Master Sol, yet hardly anyone foresaw it unfolding in such a manner. In an unexpected turn of events, Osha gradually squeezes Sol’s throat with the Force, giving him ample opportunity to prevent her if he so desired. The sad irony is that Sol may have been expressing his love for Osha before she silenced him, and even in his dying breath, he expressed, “It’s all right.” Following this poignant moment, Osha’s lightsaber kyber crystal drains, transforming the blade into a menacing red hue, signaling her descent into the dark side.

4. Vernestra’s cover up

In her Senate tribunal meeting, Vernestra Rwoh immediately points the finger at Master Sol for every Jedi death, without any delay. I must confess, her accusation took me by surprise, expecting a blend of truth and falsehoods. Regrettably, she opted for an outright fabrication, resulting in Master Sol being labeled as the renegade Jedi responsible for all the fatalities. It’s disconcerting to witness a Jedi resort to such extremes, even if it’s for the sake of preserving the Jedi Order as an entity.

5. The little green guy

During The High Republic era, it wasn’t surprising to see Yoda despite his long life span, as he is a well-known character from that timeline in the books and comics. However, what was shocking was Darth Plagueis’ unexpected appearance earlier in the episode. As for Yoda, it’s likely that he’ll try to hide the truth when Vernestra speaks with him, but since Season 2 is uncertain, we can only speculate about the outcome of their conversation.

Honorable mention: Bleeding the kyber crystal

When Osha grabbed Master Sol’s blue lightsaber, it switched to glowing red the instant she activated it. This surprising scene was a fresh take, as we seldom witnessed such an occurrence on-screen beyond comic books and video games. The thrill of this unexpected moment was truly enjoyable!
