I recognize that it has been a long time I have gotten lost in the expanded universe of ‘Star Wars’ between series, novels, video games and comicsbut I can’t help but have an unusual curiosity about ‘The Acolyte’, set in the High Republic era that we’ve barely heard about. There is one month left until it is released but its new trailer, as it could not be otherwise, has given a lot to talk about. The reason? His villain.
Sith sense
And in the teaser, We have been able to see for the first time the Sith who is killing the Jedi throughout the Republic, but the mask prevents us from seeing who is behind it. Obviously, the imagination of the fans has been triggered, believing that it is a clear nod to that Behind her hides a character from the franchise already introduced previously.
Most shots They point to Darth Plagueis, Palpatine’s master, one of the most powerful Sith in history… and the least talked about canonically. Of course, that would be a refreshing surprise for most fans, but there are those who double down and They say that behind the mask is Plagueis’ own master, Darth Tenebrousalthough he is not nearly as well known as his disciple and is only barely canon.
What if he is a Jedi who has already converted to the Dark Side? Or maybe it’s someone pretending to be a Sith or wanting to be accepted into the order? Can he be an “acolyte”, precisely? Doubts are in the air, and There are those who are already rubbing their hands thinking they guess and make canonical a piece of ‘Star Wars’ history that until now had remained only rumors. We will have to see if the Force is with them.
