TL;DR – Another flashback episode that I didn't think we needed to have, yet it grew on me as time went on.
Disclosure – I paid for the Disney+ service that viewed this series.
The Acolyte Review –
In the last episode with Teach/Corrupt, I championed how this series was able to keep up the momentum of its narrative after the shocking events of Night. Then I opened up this episode, and the dreaded sixteen years earlier appeared on screen. I had wondered if we would ever come back to Destiny and see what happened from the Jedi's perspective, but I didn't think that it would take up a whole episode.
So, to set the scene, 16 years before the events of our time, the Jedi Sol (Lee Jung-Jae), Indara (Carrie-Anne Moss), Torbin (Dean-Charles Chapman), and Kelnacca (Joonas Suotamo) were on a mission to the planet Brendok. It should be lifeless after a hyperspace explosion, but it is full of life, and the Jedi want to know why. Could this be a great convergence point for The Force, or is something else at play? However, as Sol explores the northlands, he finds a young Mae (Leah Brady) and Osha (Lauren Brady) playing under a tree that looks like nothing else on the planet, and history is made from there. Now, from here, we will be looking at the episode as a whole, so there will be some [SPOILERS] ahead.
