Star Warshas officially canceledThe Acolyte , leaving these 11 unanswered doubt hanging in the balance . Many had anticipate thatThe Acolyteseason 2 would be add toStar Wars’upcoming TV display , yet when that declaration did n’t come at D23 2024 , question start to be raised about whether this most recentStar Warsshow was being regenerate at all . WhileThe Acolyte’scontroversieswere significant , many spectator like the show , and a 2d time of year had been to a great extent teased by the showrunner for quite some time .
Now , however , Star Warshas confirmed thatThe Acolytewill not be return . While this is a shame for a number of reasons , ranging from lessStar Warscontent to the pretermit opportunity to bring some brilliant actor back to the dealership , this decision also means thatseveralStar Warsmysteries introduced in the show may never be excuse . Of the questions that remain followingThe Acolyte , these 11 are some of the most significant .
Will The Acolyte time of year 2 happen , and if it does then what ’s next for this ultimate Star Wars prequel ? Here ’s everything we know to date !
11Do Osha And Mae Ever Reunite?
Osha And Mae Parted Ways But Agreed They Would Find Each Other Again
InThe Acolytefinale , Mae and Osha were forced apart yet again , as Osha agreed to train with Qimir , and Mae was captured by the Jedi . Knowing that the Jedi would attempt to use Mae to get to Osha , Mae agreed to have her memory wiped by Qimir . In the end , her prediction was correct , and Mae was taken into detention by the Jedi and later on question by Jedi Master Vernestra Rwoh . Of naturally , she had no answers to give Vernestra because she had no memory board of Osha whatsoever .
Despite the severeness of completely pass over Osha from Mae ’s memory , the counterpart seemed convinced they would see one another again someday . In fact , the finale more or less promised an eventual reunification between the two . Now , though , withThe Acolytecancelation , Star Warsis improbable to ever reveal whether Mae and Osha reunite . While , sadly , their relationship did not end up being one of the most compelling expression of the show , it ’s a shame that this will presumptively everlastingly remain a mystery .
10Did Mother Koril Survive?
Koril’s Body Did Not Seem To Be Among The Dead
Mother Aniseya certainly seemed to be the more central female parent of Osha and Mae , but Mother Koril ’s fate finish up being the more interesting of the two . Specifically , although the witches of Brendok meet a horrific luck inThe Acolyte , Mother Koril did n’t seem to be among the dead . Moreover , in interviews , The Acolyte’sshowrunner Leslye Headland betoken that Mother Koril not only may have survived but also could have ended up joiningthe Nightsisters of Dathomir .
Some viewers had even speculated that Mother Koril may have been the occult Sith master all along , although that proved not to be unfeigned . Even so , her history contain incredible potential , and this could have prove to be a very interesting tie - in to the Clone Wars era through the Nightsisters . Unfortunately , it ’s unlikely that Mother Koril ’s narrative will ever be research in any groovy detail now thatThe Acolyteis not being renew .
9Does Yoda Help With Vernestra Rwoh’s Cover-Up?
The Final Shot Of The Acolyte Showed The Back Of Yoda’s Head
One of the biggest revelation ofThe Acolytewas Vernestra Rwoh ’s character in a Jedi cover - up . It was Vernestra who uncover ( most of ) the truth about what had happen throughout the show . Vernestra was cognizant of Master Sol ’s responsibility in the destruction of the twins ' mother , and she was well cognisant that it was n’t truly Sol who had killed the other Jedi or himself . After all , it was her former Jedi Padawan , Qimir , who had been at the heart and soul of many of these venomous flack .
However , Vernestra did what she had to do to safeguard the future of the Jedi . The Senate was clearly develop progressively concerned about the Jedi Order , as made clear-cut in the very pointed accusations by Senator Rayencourt . To guarantee that the Senate would not establish a full - blow investigating of the Jedi ( as Rayencourt wanted ) , Vernestra lied and implicate Sol in all the atrocious result that had transpired .
Master Yoda ’s cameo at the end ofThe Acolytealso intemperately hinted that he , too , helped with this cover - up .

Interestingly , Master Yoda ’s cameo at the end ofThe Acolytealso heavily suggest that he , too , helped with this masking - up . This is particularly surprising , as it suggests that Yoda hump a dark was growing prior to the prequel trilogy era and perhaps was not all that dismayed when Darth Maul emerged . Sadly , neither the full covering fire - up plot of ground nor Master Yoda ’s likely blameworthiness is likely to ever be bring out inStar Wars .
8Did The Lightwhip Cause Qimir’s Scar?
Qimir And Vernestra Rwoh Clearly Had History
The Acolytemade it abundantly clear-cut that Vernestra Rwoh and Qimir had a complicated account that decease far beyond Qimir being Vern ’s former Padawan . In fact , the show intemperately hinted that Qimir ’s gruesome scrape all across his back was because of Vernestra Rwoh ’s lightwhip . unhappily , not only didThe Acolytenever confirm that history , but it also fail to show the lightwhip sincerely in action ; Vernestra used it at one point in time to kill a glitch - similar animate being , but she never used it in struggle .
Both the absence seizure of the lightwhip throughoutThe Acolyteand the tarry mystery about Qimir ’s scar are rather disappointing . This was the lightwhip ’s live - action debut , and it is n’t clear when or if the weapon will return toStar Wars . A flashback confirming that Vernestra and Qimir had once had a brutal conflict would have been a howling path to show the lightwhip in action and let out what had truly transpire between maestro and apprentice .
This was the lightwhip ’s alive - action entry , and it is n’t clear when or if the weapon will return toStar Wars .
7Was There Actually Something Romantic Between Osha And Qimir?
The Two Seemed To Be Much More Than Master And Apprentice
One of the aspects ofThe Acolyteviewers seemed to most bask was the bud romance between Osha and Qimir . Although Osha initially turn down Qimir in more ways than one , it was clear that Qimir wanted more from Osha than just her agreeing to be his acolyte . In fact , after mutilate multiple Jedi inThe Acolyteepisode 5 , Qimir had an odd moment of tenderness , hatch Osha with his cloak as though it were a mantle . Then , both episode 6 and the conclusion episode saw Osha and Qimir growing more and more cheeseparing .
Thrillingly , in the finale , Osha agree to train with Qimir , and one of the last snapshot of the show was Qimir and Osha restrain hired hand . This was really exciting , asStar Warshad yet to truly show a kinship of this kind ; both Anakin and Kylo Ren had ask their respective love life interests to conjoin them , but Padmé and Rey had refused . lastly , Star Warswas showing a charwoman who made a completely different option . Devastatingly , though , this family relationship is unlikely to ever be develop , robbingStar Warsaudiences once again of a dark-skinned side family relationship .
6Was Qimir A True Sith?
There Was Considerable Speculation That Qimir Was A Pretender
While Qimir was doubtlessly one of the fictional character audiences care the most inThe Acolyte , his reliable status in the enfranchisement was debatable . In installment 5 , he tell apart Master Sol that the Jedi may call him Sith ; however , he did not himself take on the title . Of naturally , Qimir showed many other signaling that he was a Sith , from his red lightsaber to his mastery of the glum side of the Force . Yet , plenty about Qimir paint a picture he was n’t a Sith Lord at all .
For one , Qimir seemed to have no Sith master , and he did n’t seem to be one himself ; he was seeking an acolyte , not an apprentice . For another , Qimir was incredibly sinewy , but he also seemed immature and undisciplined . He just did n’t gibe withStar Wars’most powerful Sith . If anything , he seemed much more like Kylo Ren , who was also a dark side force play - user but not a Sith . Presumably , there was an interesting inherent tale here , but now , it is unlikely to ever be uncover .
5Is This How Darth Plagueis Learned To Create Life?
Many Thought This Would Be Anakin’s Origin Story
AlthoughThe Acolytewas mean to be a standalone show , it terminate up give a number of lineal link to the prequel trilogy , some more popular than others . One very controversial conclusion the show made was to reveal that Osha and Mae had been created with the Force by Mother Aniseya . Immediately , many viewers were outraged , as there was concern that this infringed upon Anakin Skywalker ’s uniqueStar Warsstory andthe Chosen One prophecy .
However , when Darth Plagueis was revealed in a cameo in the finale , many begin to ruminate that , rather than stealing from Anakin ’s story , The Acolytewas building upon it . Specifically , it seemed as thoughOsha and Mae ’s creation may have helped Darth Plagueis pick up the ability to create life , perhaps leading to the creation of Anakin — this seemed even more likely once Plagueis was shown take in Osha on the unsung Planet . WithThe Acolyte’scancelation , though , Star Warsmay never answer whether this was indeed how Anakin was create .
4How Do Osha And Qimir Factor Into Palpatine’s Origin Story?
Plagueis Was Palpatine’s Sith Master, So How Does Palpatine Fit Into This Story?
In addition to possibly revealing more about Anakin ’s ancestry , it seemedThe Acolytewould inescapably reveal more about Palpatine ’s chronicle . Darth Plagueis is confirmed to be Palpatine ’s Sith master in canon , so Plagueis ' appearing at the end ofThe Acolytesuggested that Palpatine was set to tie into the show in some way . This was peculiarly interesting , as Qimir and Osha both seemed like possible Sith apprentices to Darth Plagueis , raising question about how Palpatine could factor in in .
Some speculated that Plagueis might ultimately put down them both , strike Qimir was little more than a Sith pretender after all . However , there were a phone number of exciting theory , including that Osha betray Qimir and join Plagueis or that Palpatine came along and wipe out them both , shew himself to Plagueis . It ’s really a shame that these possibility will likely never be explored , as a Sith write up of this sort has n’t been see in the enfranchisement before .
3Will Darth Plagueis Ever Return To The Star Wars Screen?
Darth Plagueis' Story Is One Of The More Interesting Possibilities From The Acolyte
OutsideThe Acolyte , Darth Plagueis has only been advert on - screen once inStar Warscanon , inStar Wars : Episode III - Revenge of the Sithwhen Palpatine shared Plagueis ' story ( or ' tragedy ' ) with Anakin Skywalker . This do the cancelation ofThe Acolyteeven more unsatisfying . This seemed like the franchise ’s biggest chance to truly say the story of Darth Plagueis and reveal the full strength and big businessman of the persona . In fact , collapse the timeline , The Acolyteseason 2 could have even seen Darth Plagueis in his prime .
In an idealistic earth , Star Warswould merely interchange focusing , perhaps introducing a brand - new show focus on the level of Plagueis and Palpatine . In fact , this could even be a spin - off show ofThe Acolyte . However , give the franchise ’s rather spry and disconnected decision to offset the show , this seems very improbable . It is truly a shame that this act for the worse forThe Acolytemay mean Darth Plagueis ' one and only appearance on - projection screen .
It is unfeignedly a pity that this turn for the worse forThe Acolytemay signify Darth Plagueis ' one and only appearance on - blind .
2How DID Yoda Learn About The Rule Of Two?
In The Phantom Menace, Yoda Knew About The Sith Master And Apprentice Dynamic
inquisitively , inStar Wars : Episode I - The Phantom Menace , Master Yoda describedthe Sith Rule of Twoto Mace Windu , clearly exhibit some level of familiarity with the Sith dynamic . However , it ’s unclear precisely how Yoda came by that information . In light of Vernestra Rwoh seek Yoda ’s assistance with her covering - up , though , it seems possible that Yoda may have either had lineal transaction with the Sith betweenThe AcolyteandThe Phantom Menace , or , at least , been concerned about the restoration of the Sith and sought that selective information through ancient schoolbook .
deplorably , Yoda ’s level of awareness of the Sith ’s return and the manner in which he learned about the Sith Rule of Two will likely always be a whodunit inStar Wars . This is yet another truly disappointing aspect ofThe Acolyte’scancelation . The tale of Yoda ’s find of the Sith and the determination he made to keep the Jedi in the darkness prior to the prequels could have proven riveting . Now , it ’s more likely that Yoda ’s participation in the concealment - up will stay a mystery story .
