Star Wars : episode 5 of The Acolyte surprises and impresses
Episode 4 of The Acolytethe new series Star Wars from Disney+, ended on a real cliffhanger. The public saw the apparition the mysterious Sith who has been manipulating Mae from the beginning. Her entrance left a lasting impression as she managed to send several Jedi flying with Force projection. Suffice it to say, viewers waited impatiently afterwards episode 5released online by the streaming platform this Wednesday, June 26. And in this case too, the series created by Leslye Headland has performed well important revelations, an impressive fight and more than unexpected tragic moments. Attention, The rest of the article contains SPOILERS!
It was promised to us a lightsaber fight capable of competing with the best of films Star Wars. In our opinion we remain far from the power of the clash between Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon against Darth Maul in The Phantom Menace (1999), and the emotional strength of that between Anakin and Obi-Wan in episode 3 of the saga. However, it must be admitted that the struggle between the Sith The Acolyte at Jedi in the Forest is quite mastered. First of all because it is readable. Then because it extends over almost the entire episode 5 of the series.
Furthermore, to everyone’s surprise, important people die suddenly : Young Jedi Jecki (Dafne Keen), later Yord (Charlie Barnett). She is pierced several times by the Sith’s saber, when the second time her neck is broken by the antagonist. Rare violence in the universe Star Warsand even more so in the Disney+ series, which it has brought part of the public to do a comparison with game of Thronesknown for his ease in killing characters.
An episode validated by the public
The audience therefore remained shocked in front of this episode 5 of The Acolyte, which nevertheless largely convinced. Some were very excited, just considering it.”the best episode of the Star Wars seriesThe choreography of the lightsaber fight was also validated, with a comparison with the video game The Old Republic (2011). The revelations about the identity of the Sith were also well received, although we would have preferred something more surprising.
In fact, below the Sith mask (designed first in Cortosis, a mineral capable of blocking and deactivating a lightsaber) was therefore hiding Qimir (Manny Jacinto), the little smuggler who accompanied Mae and who seemed harmless. He hid his game well and proved to be a formidable enemy. Not everything about him and his past has yet been revealed, but the antagonist has at least explained that he wanted above all to have an Acolyte, an apprentice who was faithful to him. Mae’s betrayal didn’t go away and he tried to eliminate her. Furthermore, since her face was revealed, she had to do it kill all witnesses. This is without counting on the intervention of Osha who fixed the Pip robot on the enemy’s back, which attracted the creatures and occupied the Sith for a moment.
Qimir Ren?
Episode 5 of The Acolyte It ended with an argument between Mae and Osha. While Sol was unconscious, Mae asked her sister to join her. Only, Osha still considered her a criminal. After this refusal, Mae managed to gain the upper hand on Osha. After cutting her hair and taking her sister’s clothes, she decided to pretend to be her with Sol and leave with him. Still inanimate, Osha will then be recovered by Qimir. We imagine that the latter will try push the heroine towards the dark side of the Force so that she in turn becomes his Acolyte.
Finally, a new hypothesis continued to grow following this episode about the importance Qimir might have in the universe Star Wars. Between his mask, the theme song associated with it, and his attitude, several fans could see it as a great nod to Kylo Ren. And for them, Qimir would therefore be Ren, who led the Knights of Ren before his son Han Solo. Considering that the eras are very distant from each other The Acolyte and the final trilogy Star Wars, we would be more inclined to a precursor of this group. To see if episode 6, broadcast July 3 on Disney+will give answers in this sense.
