And while Osha followed Jedi teachings before becoming a mechanic, Mae has been on a completely different journey, and her desire to get revenge for a past tragedy has only grown. Accompanied by Sol (Lee Jung-jae), her former master, and the Jedi Jecki (Dafne Keen) and Yord (Charlie Barnett), Osha, after being suspected of having committed her sister’s crimes, will do anything to find him before her. she commits more murders.

Because yes, since the first episode, The Acolyte surprised everyone by eliminating a character much awaited by fans. He is Master Indara, played by Carrie-Anne Moss. The iconic actress of the saga Matrix seemed to play an important role in the series Star Wars. But creator Leslye Headland reserved a tragic fate for him from the first minutes. A decision that did not satisfy everyone.

Carrie-Anne Moss’s fate is going badly

As we have seen on social networks, and in particular on X (formerly Twitter), the reactions were immediate after the two episodes of The Acolyte were put online. Some have praised this start to the season, appreciating the style of the series Star Wars. But for others, Carrie-Anne Moss’ disappearance goes badly.

I’m sorry, but you killed Carrie-Anne Moss in the first episode!? I’ve already lost interest.

Keanu Reeves better show up to avenge Carrie-Anne Moss’ death.

How can you promote Carrie-Anne Moss and kill her 5 minutes into the show?

I have to give credit for at least surprising with what happens to Carrie-Anne Moss… Too bad though, I would have liked to see her more.

The designer’s explanations

Leslye Headland justified her choice to kill Indara so quickly by explaining it to her EW that she had wantedcreate a cold open that shocks the audience“. The creator also took the series as an example breaking Bad.

I don’t want to compare myself to Vince Gilligan, but the opening scene of Breaking Bad is one of the best of all time. Every time I sit down to write something, I say to myself, “I couldn’t do this better, but in my series, what’s the version of this opening?” I felt the best thing I could do was kill Carrie-Anne Moss. It was the icing on Trinity’s cake and everyone was like, “Excuse me? What’s going on there?”

Despite the annoyance of some, The Acolyte has so far been received quite well by the press 88% positive reviews ON Rotten tomatoes. We too were convinced by the first 4 episodes made available to the press. On the other hand, we will have to see if the public will be able to keep it hooked for the entire duration. At the time of writing, the series Star Wars it has only 46% positive reviews from the public. A score currently obtained by only a few hundred accounts. Finally, for Carrie-Ann Moss fans, know that the actress not only appears at the beginning of the series, but also in significant flashbacks.

The Acolyte will continue on Disney+.
