Star Wars' latest Disney+ series just got a stunning new look as it nears the end of its first (and potentially only) season. TheofficialAcolyteX accountrevealed a new poster from artistMarko Manev, who has previously worked with Star Wars before as recently asThe AcolyteEpisode 4. The new poster shows Mae and Osha standing in the middle with Qimir on Osha’s side and Bazil, Sol, and Vernestra all on Mae’s side. The two twins switched placesat the end of Episode 5, and now Osha is traveling with the Sith Lord who she watched kill several Jedi, and Mae is being held captive by the Jedi who, to her, destroyed her home and kidnapped her sister.
Themost recent episode ofThe Acolytegenerated major conversationfor the palpable chemistry between Osha and Qimir.Manny Jacintohas been putting on a show with his performance without raising his voice or acting violent, but instead taking a different approach bolstered by patience, charisma, and a sinister but subtle attitude you’re able to still smell from a mile away.The Acolytehas turned fans on their heads, murdering even more beloved characters such as Yorde and Jecki Lonn, taking theGame of Thronesapproach by proving to viewers around the world that no one’s favorite character is safe.
How Did the Stranger Get That Scar?
One of themost shocking moments inThe AcolyteEpisode 6 comes when The Stranger/Qimir takes off his shirt before going for a dip in the pond while Osha is watching, only to reveal a grotesque scar on his back. He remarks to Osha that others have discarded him the same way the Jedi discarded her, but he refuses to provide any additional context about how the scar got there. We also know that The Stranger used to be a Jedi, buthas since left the order and resorted to the dark side. When the scar is first shown, it’s far from traditional; it resembles a long and winding road going down and up his back. As soon as the first look at Qimir’s scar was revealed, fans immediately began speculating thatQimir’s former master was Vernestra Rwoh, and that she was the one who left that scar on him. Rwoh has a lightsaber whip, so the shape adds up. If Qimir was once Vernestra’s master, expect this information along with much more to come to light in the the last two episodes of the season.
The first six episodes ofThe Acolyteare now streaming everywhere. Check out the new poster above, stay tuned to Collider for future Star Wars updates and coverage, and streamThe AcolyteonDisney+.
