Master Indara Believed The Nightsisters Didn’t Raise Younglings

InThe Acolyteepisode 7 , Jedi Masters Kelnacca , Sol , and Indara and Jedi Padawan Torbin uncover the cosmos of the witches of Brendok . Unfortunately , Sol jump off to conclusions about the threat they pose , which has devastating consequences . However , because he is so intent on taking action to save Osha and Mae , who he falsely believes are in risk , the four Jedi seek to make gumption of who the enchantress are and what they want .

The Acolyte episode 7 last expose what really happen on Brendok 16 geezerhood ago , include that Sol defeat Mother Aniseya for complex reason .

In that discussion , Torbin sound what audiences had long been wondering about as well , necessitate if they could be Nightsisters . In response , Master Indara bewilderingly asserts,“Nightsisters do n’t raise younglings . Let alone train them . “This claim is a complicate one in light of Asajj Ventress ' birthing into the Nightsisters of Dathomir and even additional character like Morgan Elsbeth , who was revealed inStar Wars : Tales of the Empireto still be a girl when General Grievous massacred the Nightsisters .

distinctly , the Nightsisters do have , raise , and caravan younglings — or , at least they do in the prequel trilogy era . Yes , it could be argued that the Nightsisters ' practices change in the 100 years betweenThe Acolyteand the start of the prequels , but it seems much more likely that covens were simply concealing their younglings from the Jedi , who evidently attempted to control their power to raise progeny . In fact , this accurate moment could explicate Ventress ' tragical backstory .

Clearly , the Nightsisters do have , raise , and civilise younglings .

The Threat Of The Jedi Could Have Led The Nightsisters To Give Ventress Up

Ventress ' story is one of frequent tragedies . As an baby , she was sold into slaveholding by the Nightsisters of Dathomir . The man who take her , a Siniteen pirate named Hal’Sted , give-up the ghost when Ventress was still young . After that , Ventress was find by a Jedi Master distinguish Ky Narec . Sadly , he , too , was eventually cut down in front of her . Unsurprisingly , this serial of losses drive Ventress to the black side of the Force , which is how she ultimately came to dish out Count Dooku . To tote up insult to trauma , he finally tossed her forth like garbage , leaving her alone once again .

Ventress ' story is one of frequent tragedies .

While this chronicle is a brutal one , it oddly began with the Nightsisters of Dathomir deciding to give Ventress as a hard worker to the pirate . This seems very contrary to the room of the Nightsisters , who emphasize sisterhood and loyalty . That they would mold off one of their own , an babe no less , is on the face of it incongruent with their nature .

Mother Talzin , the drawing card of the Nightsisters , told Ventress that they had been forced to give her up , but the lot around why they were required to do so remain vague . While the Nightsisters seem to have switch over the child for protective cover , the exact threat is n’t identify . It very well could have been Hal’Sted himself , butThe Acolyteepisode 7 may have just reveal the on-key rationality the Nightsisters earmark a pirate to take the infant Asajj Ventress as a slave .

found on what transpirate between the witch of Brendok and the Jedi , coven would have good reason to dread the Jedi discovering that they were raising younglings . This could be the very reason the Nightsisters elected to give Ventress up . Perhaps once Hal’Sted unwrap them and the child , they agnise she was too big a risk to keep . alternatively , to avoid the Jedi invading their home and seek the baby out , they reserve her to go with Hal’Sted . In fact , the Nightsisters could have even learned what happened on Brendok , fuel their determination and their fear .

Covens would have near understanding to fear the Jedi discovering that they were raising younglings .
