Warning! This post contains SPOILERS for The Acolyte episode 4
Summary
- The Acolyte is likely to kill at least five Jedi, most likely in episode 5, signaling the rise of a powerful Sith Lord.
- The new villain in The Acolyte has emerged as an apparent Dark Lord of the Sith, overpowering a team of Jedi Knights.
- Expect major lightsaber combat in the next episode with multiple Jedi deaths, potentially leaving only a few main characters alive.
Wookiee Jedi Master Kelnacca come face-to-face with a new villain who very much appears to be a Dark Lord of the Sith. Despite their greater numbers, it doesn't look as though they'll be emerging victorious.
The Acolyte is set during the High Republic Era, taking place 100 years before the events of The Phantom Menace. The start of the Skywalker saga, The Phantom Menace established that the Jedi believed the Sith had long been extinct for hundreds of years before the emergence of Darth Maul. However, it seems as though a small group of Jedi did encounter a Sith Lord all the same, though that doesn't necessarily mean that they'll all be living to tell the tale.
Star Wars Movies In Order: How To Watch Release Order, Chronologically & With The TV Shows
What's the best way to watch Star Wars? Here's everything you need to know to watch in release or timeline order, and how to include the TV shows.
There's No Way All These Jedi Are Going To Survive A Sith Lord
Episode 5 Is Going To Be Brutal
Aside from the former The Acolyte episode 4 ends with this apparent Sith Lord igniting his lightsaber before using the Force to effortlessly throw all eight Jedi off the ground.
The Acolyte episode 5 promises to feature some major lightsaber combat, though it will likely see the Jedi brutally outmatched despite having greater numbers against his powerful new Sith. Keeping that in mind, viewers should certainly expect to see multiple Jedi deaths in the near future. Following Kelnacca's murder, there's no way that all of these Jedi will survive. It's a safe bet that at least five Jedi Knights will meet their end in the next episode; those who were just introduced in The Acolyte episode 4 and have yet to be named (or were only named in the credits).
Which Jedi Will Make It Out Of The Acolyte Episode 5 Alive?
Most Likely Only Sol, Yord, and Jecki
The killing of multiple Jedi at once will certainly be a testament to the power of this new dark side who will likely be revealed as a genuine Dark Lord of the Sith in future episodes of The Acolyte. That said, one can imagine that Osha will survive, having been thrown to the side while the Sith faced the team of Jedi. Likewise, it's also safer to assume that Master Sol, Jedi Knight Yord Fandar, and Padawan Jecki Lon will all survive to continue the Star Wars show's ongoing narrative. However, The Acolyte could certainly throw in some major plot twists by having one of these leading Jedi characters meet the wrong end of a red lightsaber.
The Acolyte episode 4 is now streaming. New episodes release Tuesdays on Disney+.
