Disney+ has released a teaser for tonight's fifth episode of The Acolyte, and it looks like we might be in for more flashbacks.

Last week's episode concluded with the mysterious "Master" making his (or her?) presence felt by attacking the group of Jedi who had come to Khofar in an attempt to stop Mae from carrying out her assassination of Kelnacca.

Unbeknownst to our heroes, Mae had already decided to surrender to the Wookiee Jedi once she found out her twin sister, Osha, was still alive, but arrived to find that her Dark-side boss had already done the deed. The Master then floated into view behind Osha and the others, before unleashing a powerful Force-blast.

It looks like this episode will pick up immediately after that cliffhanger, but it seems we are also going to get more flashbacks, as we see Kelnacca attack what appears to be another Jedi with his lightsaber.

Was the Wookiee trying to prevent what happened to the coven on Brendock, perhaps?

Check out the promo at the link below, and let us know what you think in the comments section.

In The Acolyte, an investigation into a shocking crime spree pits a respected Jedi Master (Lee Jung-jae) against a dangerous warrior from his past (Amandla Stenberg). As more clues emerge, they travel down a dark path where sinister forces reveal all is not what it seems.

 The series stars Amandla Stenberg, Lee Jung-jae, Manny Jacinto, Dafne Keen, Charlie Barnett, Jodie Turner-Smith, Rebecca Henderson, Dean-Charles Chapman, Joonas Suotamo, and Carrie-Anne Moss.

Leslye Headland created the series, based on Star Wars by George Lucas, and serves as an executive producer along with Kathleen Kennedy, Simon Emanuel, Jeff F. King and Jason Micallef. Charmaine DeGraté and Kor Adana are the co-executive producers. Rayne Roberts, Damian Anderson, Eileen Shim and Rob Bredow are the producers.

Headland also directed the premiere episodes (Eps. 101 & 102). Directors Kogonada (Eps. 103 & 107), Alex Garcia Lopez (Eps. 104 & 105) and Hanelle Culpepper (Eps. 106 & 108) round out the directing duties on the series.

"I really wanted to tell a story about the Sith," showrunner Headland told EW in a recent interview. "That was kind of my dream Star Wars idea. But it felt like the time period to do that in would be something pre-Phantom Menace. That seemed to be the most interesting trajectory for the Sith: How did the Sith go from the Rule of Two and being quote-unquote 'extinct' to Palpatine coming into power without the Jedi knowing about it?"

Award-winning composer Michael Abels, known for his work on Get Out and Us, scored The Acolyte.

@JobinJ - They took one of the used prop masks from one of the Knights of Ren, gave it to their Art crew and said "Look, were on a budget with this one so just make it work".

@HashTagSwagg - what's especially funny about this is the budget is more than kenobi, and the pre production cost more than the pre production of rogue one.

@Ryguy88 - Can Rotten Tomatoes critics be trusted? cause if so, the answer would still be no.

@Ryguy88 - If you are serious I would recommend waiting until it's over and binging it. I don't think it works as well as a weekly IMO. It's not nearly as bad as people make it out to be, but it's not peak Star Wars either.

Sweet , looking forward to the episode as someone that has been liking the series!!.

My theory still is that Mother Koril got aggressive and did not want the Jedi to take Mae & Osha thus tried to take over Torbin as they did before hence Kelnacca fighting him and because of that , the situation spiraled out of control from there.

The big reveal is that it's Shooty Gotwadd underneath and they're all going to get in the reTARDIS for a ThreadForce Orgy.

This show is bad but it is not because of the woke things the incels predicate.

Forgetting all the messaging/pollical nonsense from both sides, this show is very uneven from episode to episode and not very good.

It's just another insult to the legacy of Star Wars. Like most of what has happened since Disney took over.

Best episode by far! Loved the action.

@Order66 - Its true, its the best episode. Its still a steaming pile of crap.

I wont get into spoilers yet but the writer keeps making the same god damn mistake.
ComicBandit

@CreateNowSlpL8r - I know right. Just bad writing, and serious laspes in logic and the dialogue sometimes. It's so unbelievably dry. But I enjoyed the action. For me better saber fights in this show than Kenobi and the last Star War movie trilogy.

They really upped the action in this one, and it looked great. Very impressed with the swordplay, and shocked with all the deaths.
Order66
Order66 - 6/25/2024, 10:42 PM
@BassMan - same. Loved the action and the deaths were shocking.
BassMan
BassMan - 6/25/2024, 11:09 PM
@Order66 - yeah did not see that coming. A massacre. The master honestly surprised me, because I thought they were too obvious to be the one. Curious where that goes.

@BassMan - I'll second all this. Great action and shocking deaths. Expected the 2 padawans at the end to survive, they were discarded pretty carelessly. Best episode so far and one of the best SW episodes in a bit for me.
FireandBlood
FireandBlood - 6/26/2024, 3:41 AM
@BassMan - They Rogue One’d it and it ain’t even over yet
BassMan
BassMan - 6/26/2024, 7:56 AM
@HeavyMetal4Life - agreed. Hope it keeps the momentum going
ComicBandit
ComicBandit - 6/26/2024, 7:56 AM
@BassMan - It was always one of the mothers or him. And once I saw that the wookie was dead I told a friend he's already on the planet and knew where the wookie was. So was obvious then. But was hoping they would surprise me. The worst thing about this episode is his motivation. He could have gone anywhere in the galaxy to do that.
