The Big Picture Following the fast-paced two-episode premiere, The Acolyte is slowing things down this week, and throwing things back to the past. Set sixteen years before the main storyline, Episode 3, written by Jasmyne Flournoy and Eileen Shim, introduces audiences to eight-year-old Osha and Mae and their witchy origins on Brendok.
As Osha and Mae make their way back to their village, they are intercepted by their mother Koril who is livid that the girls slipped out of the village. She’s clearly worried that they’re being watched—and she’s right to be concerned. As she herds the girls back home, Sol is watching them from behind a tree. As noted child thieves, it’s entirely unsurprising that the Jedi would be watching a pair of Force-sensitive twins.
'The Acolyte' Episode 3 Explores an Ascension Gone Wrong The ascension ceremony is a truly stunning sequence. From the vocalizations and ambiance that felt torn straight out of a music video for Clannad to the unwavering faith on display within the coven, the ascension ceremony is far more beautiful than anything we’ve witnessed with the Jedi.
Sol presents Osha with his lightsaber to try out and suggests that she would make a good Jedi, which is met with disappointment from both her mothers and her sister, but Osha remains far more excited about this prospect than she was about the ascension. Their tender moment is cut short by Aniseya using her power to essentially torture Torbin as a means of getting the Jedi to back down from their dreams of taking her children.
When Osha tells her twin about her decision, Mae is incensed in a way that is rather shocking for a young child. Mae declares that she would rather kill her sister than allow her to leave the coven, which is a rather extreme reaction. It’s on par with Anakin’s violent overreaction to the loss of his mother in Attack of the Clones. Mae snatches up Osha’s sketchbook, where she’s been drawing the Jedi emblem, and sets it on fire before locking her sister inside her bedroom.
