Summary The Acolyte's showrunner Leslye Headland confirmed in a recent interview that there will be a Kylo Ren connection in the Star Wars show's upcoming episodes—but what that is remains a mystery. The Acolyte episode 5 was packed with shocking twists and turns, from the reveal of The Acolyte's Sith Lord to the many character deaths in episode 5.

Ah, wish I could. It is there on purpose, but I can’t tell you why, and I can’t go into what it is. But you shall see.Related 5 Ways The Acolyte's New Sith Lord Mirrors Darth Maul The Acolyte's new"Sith" mirrors Darth Maul is a few key ways, though he also shares parallels with the sequel trilogy's Kylo Ren as well.

This would make a great deal of sense for a number of reasons. For one, Qimir's mask is so reminiscent of Kylo Ren's in the Star Wars sequel trilogy that he earned the nickname 'Smilo Ren' on social media . For another, this would also address the inconsistencies between Qimir's character and a typical Sith.

Having Qimir be the first Knight of Ren would create continuity between the sequel trilogy and the rest of the Star Wars timeline.
