The Big Picture The horror genre might not be the first thing one associates with Star Wars, but the sci-fi saga is no stranger to eerie moments. Whether it's Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru's charred skeletons in A New Hope, Luke Skywalker's haunting visions in the Dagobah swamp, or Rogue One's Darth Vader slaughtering helpless rebels, when the franchise employs horror's stylistic trappings, it employs them well.
The Khofar setting does considerable heavy lifting in that regard. The wide, mountainous landscapes shrink into a claustrophobic forest covered by heavy fog — invisible to see through from the ground above, and up-close, crowded with alien creatures who are dormant unless they're disturbed. Sol felling a massively tentacled umbramoth with his lightsaber allows for a mildly suspenseful rise-and-fall beat, but nothing outrageous.
The Acolyte's previous glimpse of the anonymous Sith Lord is deliberately brief. After killing Jedi Master Indara in Episode 1, Mae meets her nameless teacher on a beach. As she watches from a distance, the Sith activates their red lightsaber, standing elevated on a jagged chunk of rock. The master and apprentice's positioning, the implicit yet tempting threat behind a Dark Side lightsaber, and Mae's vicious deference, speak volumes.
