Osha Kills Master Sol | Yoda Returns | The Acolyte Episode 8 | Disney+

‘The Acolyte’ Episode 8 Recap And Review: A Terrible Season Finale Despite Cliffhangers And ‘Star Wars’ Cameos - The Acolyte was a mess from start to finish and Tuesday night’s jumbled season finale only strengthens my belief that this was a show that needed about three more drafts before going to production.

5:15 My review on Acolyte

Everything about this show is rough and messy, and the two very fun cameos in the finale (which we’ll discuss below) can’t save it from itself. Spoilers, naturally. I suppose we shouldn’t be surprised that Osha goes to the Dark Side this episode, and that Mae—by dint of losing her memory—goes over to the good guys. After all, Osha was wearing black by this point and Mae was all in white. How subtle! Then again, it’s hard to tell who the good guys are anymore, or who the bad guys are, because The Acolyte is just so angsty and edgy. It’s Star Wars for adults! Or something. Let’s be real, subverting expectations and deconstructing the Jedi is just so 2017. The Acolyte seems hellbent on portraying the Jedi in the worst possible light and I might be able to accept this if it were just the coverup at the end when Vernestra somewhat bizarrely pins all the killings on Sol when she goes before the Senate tribunal. But this show wants very badly for us to think that what the Jedi did on Brendok is some horrific crime, when I’m right there with Sol: He was trying to protect children from what very much appeared to be a terrifying Dark Side witch cult.

    I don't understand how they couldn't let Sol live through this season. So now all four of them have kicked the bucket. Very lame. The actor who played Sol made the show watchable.

    Yoda be like "Fucketh up the cannon did you woman!"
  • @CrimsonFIame
    Even though this series was horrendous I hope the actor for Sol gets more roles in future shows/movies. He learned english for this abomination
  • @Don-gj4iw
    Bruh she has the same Facial expression for 8 episodes 😂
  • You can't just bleed a kyber crystal that easily. In the comics, darth vader struggled to bleed his crystal. So i dont get why its done so easily here
  • The fucking lightsaber changing colors like a mood ring is just fucking disgusting
  • I love how Osha can bleed a kyber crystal in two seconds because she's "angry" while Anakin Skywalker, the most powerful Jedi ever and a guy who LITERALLY MURDERED CHILDREN and loathed Obi-Wan, doesn't automatically do the same to his crystal. Like what–
  • Poor Master Sol… he ended up killing the mother in fear that she was gonna do something bad to Mae and had every right. Then his own friend put the blame of EVERYTHING on him.
  • Man he was about to say "because... I love you" they did him so dirty and this show humiliated the light side of the force man.
  • @raycruz1756
    So Venestra lies to Yoda and he believes her .. WTF
  • well, they killed the best character in this series, well done...
  • Acolyte was probably the best Star Wars story since Star Wars part 4 Another Hope.
  • Star Wars Jedi Survivor did the bleeding of the crystal… Wayyyy Better than that 💩
  • @Iron375
    2:11 It was so terrible, she doesn't even try to pretend that she was trying to hit it.
  • @mazukai6525
    She just force choked a Jedi Master like it's nothing? Please dont make a season 2.
