The Acolyte
Summary
A thrilling newStar Warstheory revealsThe Acolyte ’s Sith have been hiding in manifest mint all along - because thewitches of Brendokare in fact a Sith offshoot . Led by Jodie Turner - Smith ’s Mother Aniseya , the witches of Brendok are a powerful Force furor whose irregular dark illusion get them a threat even to Jedi . Their true origin is purposefully hide ; even the Jedi just refer to them as witches , speculating they ’re touch base to the Nightsisters , but fleetly concluding otherwise .
The Acolyteshowrunner Leslye Headland has suggest she knowsthe origins of Mother Aniseya and her witches . In her sentiment , Mother Aniseya is tie to some pre - existing Force cult - either from canon or caption - but she deliberately select not to spell out the details . Is it possible she ’s hiding her Sith in unpatterned raft ?
Here ’s everything you call for to follow along with Star state of war : The Acolyte , from reference and trifle to principal takeaway from each young episode .
The Acolyte’s Witch Coven Clearly Use The Dark Side
The crone of Brendok possess a wide range ofForce powers , include some that are typical to the Jedi and Sith - notably psychokinesis . When they use these powers , they do so aggressively , out of a strong sense of self - preservation . Even more importantly , though , there ’s a decidedly dark side tint to the additional abilities they have mastered . They are able to penetrate even a Jedi Master ’s creative thinker with shocking comfort , subject Torbin to haunting visual sense and Kelnacca to Force knows what .
Philosophically , the witch of Brendok appear to believe there ’s no such thing as the short or dark sides of the Force;there are similarities between their scene and the so - name " Potentium Heresy " ofStar WarsLegends . This theme was bear of the Sith , and became a useful room for the Sith to make inroads among the Jedi Order . Those who deny the reality of the dark-skinned side are easy prey to it , after all .
look beyond the witches ' views on the dark side , though , there are surprising similarities between their notion in the " Power of Two " and the Sith " Rule of Two . “Star warfare : The climb of Skywalkerrevealed the Rule of Two was a rottenness of the far older Doctrine of the Dyad , of two beings joined in the Force who would become an ultimate conduit of its power , andit ’s possible the Power of Two is the same variety of corruption of the Dyad . All these similarities are strike , and seem to suggest Mother Aniseya has some sort of link to the Sith .

The interesting question , though , is whether they are tie to the line of products of Darth Bane - or to something far aged . Darth Bane believed he had wipe out rival Sith factions , but this was n’t true in Legends , and there ’s no reason it has to be true in canyon either ; this could be a breakaway group who have existed for coevals , subtly influenced by Sith lore . or else , it ’s potential Mother Aniseya was herself once a Sith Acolyte , who chose a unlike track - but remained charm by their pedagogy . There ’d be just the correct degree of poetic caustic remark to that idea for it to work on well inStar war .
Could Mother Koril Be Linked To The Stranger?
This may well build the tie between the witches of Brendok and the mysteriousSith Lord named the Stranger . The Acolyteepisode 7 affirm that Mother Koril endure the massacre at Brendok , and one line of dialogue hints she ’s been with Mae all these geezerhood ; at one point Mae told Osha that she had left " us , " not just " me . " If that ’s the case , thenMother Koril may well have her own connexion to the Stranger .
It seems unlikely that Mother Koril is in fact the Stranger ’s master ; it would n’t make sensation for her to enroll Qimir when she ’s already seeking to trail Mae . But their interests could well concur , meaning she has taken Mae to the Stranger for the next footstep in her education . Mother Koril intelligibly want revenge on the Jedi , and Mae would be the stark tool to fulfil this , especially if she were trained by the Sith .
How Would The True Baneite Sith Respond To This Crisis?
This theory assumes that , although the hag are Sith , they are not theBaneiteSith . Their teachings and doctrines come out connect , but not indistinguishable , most notably in the factthe Baneite Sith would never be uncoerced to permit their pedagogy to spread so widely . It ’s reasonable to assume the Baneite Sith would not take kindly to the continued existence of a Sith coven being revealed to the Jedi .
If this is the casing , thenThe Acolyte ’s finale is setting up a very unlike confrontation to the one TV audience are expecting ; not between the luminousness and the dark , but between the dark and the darker still . The true Sith will surely come forth from the tincture to close these pretenders down before they draw any more attention , and presumably that is how they also memorise the enigma of Mae and Osha ’s birth - an origin that experience suspiciously close to the powers coveted by Darth Plagueis , known to be active around this period in the timeline . The Acolytecould be head in a very exciting instruction indeed .
