Spoilers The Acolyte

Well, that was certainly a story set in the Star Wars Galaxy. While I don't have the histronic hatred of the show that some on the internet have, I have to say that it really didn't do much for me. Despite there still being ground to cover, I found myself not really caring about seeing a second season. Despite that, that very last shot of the show certainly got my attention.
Maybe its because I read the High Republic novels but Yoda didn't do anything for me. I wanted to know more about the guy in the cave. Was that the actual Sith tracking him down so they can eliminate him.
That actually was my guess as well.
Obviously not, or there would be more guardrails in Imperial facilities.
I don't think this series has recanonized anything except the lightwhip and Bazil's species.

Madclaw as well
Was cortosis already canon? I thought not.
Our first alien (per se) Chancellor in live action.
Seems like it. Glad they kept his Muun origin as part of his design.
Not to my knowledge.
If Anakin had killed Obi-Wan and taken his saber, that would have turned red.
So, why did Basil sabotage Sol's ship and cause it to crash?
I was loving how everything was clicking into place at the end...right until the memory wipe trope.
Right when Osha and Mae finally reconciled and forgave each other's past sins and pains, they immediately pulled away again.
And why? A fruitless attempt to evade the Jedi.
Yes, they didn't know Vernestra would cover up Sol's cover-up and pin his memory to Mae's crimes. But even before that reveal, the memory wipe trope had already left a bitter taste in my mouth. Not just because it's such an overused trope, nor was it just because it played right into the forced-yet-expected "the good sister becomes the apprentice of the bad guy" end point.
No, what bothered me the most is that the two sisters stood up against both their mentors and their adversaries to stand strong together...only to decide to split up again to join with the very ones they rightfully stood against.
I get it was suppose to be a tragedy for both of them precisely because of that schism. But that thematic shift still sits very poorly with me.
I fully grant this comes out of having heightened expectations and endless discussions of what might happen and "too easily predicting" what may and will come. However, the most important theme of the whole show was the relationship between Mae and Osha and I wanted them to succeed together.
Again, I get we weren't suppose to have that in the end because of light and dark and so on...but I was hoping for something different this time.

My take was that he thought that Sol was being reckless and would get them both killed.
Was she actually the good sister, though?
