The Stranger (Manny Jacinto) in an official poster for The Acolyte
The Big Picture Star Wars being heavily influenced by classic martial arts movies is nothing new, and the latest episode of The Acolyte continues this decades-long tradition. In "Night," it's finally revealed that the face behind the Stranger's mask is Qimir , the otherwise quirky and mysterious companion of Mae Aniseya , everything followed by a ruthless bloodbath by the Sith Lord. What is inspired by martial arts movies, however, isn't the fighting itself, but the reveal.
In Come Drink With Me, Golden Swallow is the daughter of the governor of the state of Two-River and has the task of rescuing her brother, who has been kidnapped by a gang of bandits led by Jade-Faced Tiger . As she fights her way against the gang, strange things happen, like her sword mysteriously flying back into her hand after she loses it, distractions confusing the gang out of nowhere, and so on.
'Come Drink With Me' May Offer Other Hints About 'The Acolyte's Story Close In The Acolyte, Qimir does have his fair share of action before revealing his true identity. In Episode 2, "Revenge / Justice," it's implied he kills an apothecary to steal their shop in order to help Mae kill Master Torbin at the Jedi Temple on Olega. Later, he quickly overpowers Mae as she jumps on him at the gates of the citadel.
The Shaolin power struggle between Drunken Cat and Liao Kung feels a lot like the kind that goes on within the Sith. According to the Rule of Two, there may only ever be a master and an apprentice, meaning that there are often conflicts between candidates for one of these roles. In the now-Legends continuity of Star Wars, Darth Sidious' master, Darth Plagueis, had to face another Sith postulant, Darth Venamis, to consolidate his role as the apprentice of Darth Tenebrous.
