A close up of the Sith Lord with their fingers raised prepared to use the Force in The Acolyte Episode 4

The Big Picture We have officially crossed the midway point for The Acolyte, and this is truly where the fun begins — especially if you’ve been waiting to see the Jedi face off against the ominous Master, though that long-awaited battle was not without a shockingly high body count. From the very beginning, Leslye Headland’s series hasn’t been afraid to strike down the Jedi we’ve come to love, and Episode 5 is certainly no different.

Release Date June 4, 2024 Cast Carrie-Anne Moss , Amandla Stenberg , Lee Jung-jae , Manny Jacinto , Dafne Keen , Jodie Turner-Smith , Rebecca Henderson , Charlie Barnett , Dean-Charles Chapman Main Genre Sci-Fi Seasons 1 Studio Disney+ Franchise Star Wars Expand Who Is “The Master” in 'The Acolyte'? Close After four episodes of theorizing about who “The Master” might be, Episode 5 finally delivers a twist that the majority of viewers likely saw coming.

Sol is, understandably, devastated to see his young padawan brutally murdered by the squirrely man he let go on Olega. Qimir mocks Jecki’s death by referring to her as an “it,” but he makes a pretty good point by alluding to the fact that it’s Sol—and the Jedi’s—fault for bringing a child into a fight like this. As Sol tries to get to the bottom of Qimir’s motivations, Qimir holds Mae at lightsaber-point, expressing a sentiment that is one I happened to allude to after Episode 3.

Mae seizes this as another opportunity to make a run for it, but Osha puts a stop to her escape by hitting her with a stun blast. Sol and Qimir engage in yet another fight, but this time it’s a mix of hand-to-hand combat, which is honestly quite sexy of Star Wars to do, and Osha stops Sol from killing Qimir. As Sol holds his lightsaber to Qimir’s throat, Qimir plants seeds of doubt in Osha’s mind about her former master, alluding to a darkness in Sol that he hasn’t accepted.
