THE ACOLYTE Theory Links "The Master" To Dave Filoni's Wider STAR WARS Plans And [SPOILER]

There's a lot of intrigue surrounding The Acolyte's mysterious Master, and a new theory links them to Dave Filoni's wider Star Wars plans and a certain group of God-like beings. Read on for details...

This article was originally published on SFFGazette.com. Head there now for more on Star Wars and The Acolyte.

We first met The Ones - later known as the Mortis Gods - in The Clone Wars as ancient beings thought to have been there when the Force first came into existence. The Father, who loves his children equally, represents the balance between the Light (The Daughter) and Dark (The Son).

Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, and Ahsoka Tano eventually encountered The Ones, learning The Father hoped Anakin might take his place due to the Jedi's conflicted nature. Instead, The Son accidentally killed The Daughter, and The Father took his own life to rob his Son of immortality (allowing Anakin to deliver a killing blow to the out-of-control God). 

Ahsoka ended with Baylan Skoll standing atop a statue of The Father as he hunts down a source of power believed to be strong enough to bring peace to the Galaxy. 

The prevailing theory is that the being calling to the former Jedi is The Mother, a.k.a. Abeloth. 

An Expanded Universe/Legends character, she was a servant to The Ones who eventually took on a mother-like role in the family. Despite initially keeping the warring children in check, she fell into temptation and her own quest for immortality saw her draw from both the Font and Pool.

As a result, she became wildly powerful and transformed into a monstrous and near-unstoppable Dark Side being called Abeloth. The Ones, horrified by her betrayal and what The Mother had turned into, imprisoned her on an unnamed planet. 

She remained safely imprisoned until they died and, with her cage weakened, Abeloth was ultimately freed by the son of Han Solo and Princess Leia, Jacen Solo (not to be confused with Jacen Syndulla). She wreaked havoc across the Galaxy as an even greater threat than Emperor Palpatine but was eventually stopped by Luke Skywalker.

Now we've brought you up to speed, what does any of this have to do with The Acolyte and, more specifically, The Master? 

There's a popular theory online suggesting the mysterious villain is not a Sith, but a servant of the Mortis God, Abeloth. The basis for this appears to be the fact The Master's helmet has sharp teeth and a mouth which closely resembles how she's classically been portrayed in the EU. 

We know the prequel series will introduce a coven of witches who use the Force but are neither Jedi nor Sith and they may also have ties to the villain trapped in a distant Galaxy. 

In Ahsoka, we know Skoll isn't a Sith but is a Dark Side user and, aside from his red lightsaber, there's nothing that currently links The Master to the Sith lineage which eventually leads to Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader. Instead, he may be one of Abeloth's first followers, tasked with weakening the Jedi so the Dark Side can rise again (heralding her return, in the process).

This would be a smart way to link The Acolyte to Dave Filoni's wider Star Wars plans and even links up to James Mangold's First Jedi movie which we're convinced will explore the Mortis Gods' origins.

@DarthOmega - What's the spoiler? Not watching, just genuinely interested in the drama surrounding it.

@Blergh - The force is renamed and explained different than it has ever been in past movies.....the two twins were birth by lesbo's witches who were thrown off the world they lived on for being such....people like them have a special connection to the force that other force users can not tap into only people like them(yes they are really going there)....the Jedi are very bad bady stealers who are out to kill people like these two women....and wait for it....the "force" is actually a female being.

@Blergh - Not watching is the best way I think. But to each there own. Some people actually like the show. That's cool. Even I like the sets. But I can see the direction Disney is going. And I just can't follow. Not until they course correct.

@Blergh - Anakin was never special. These lame twins are also virgin birth "Chosen Ones."

Kennedy has replaced Anakin and his singular role in bringing balance to the Force (by bringing down the Sith AND the Jedi) with these twins on one side of him and the Rey on the other side of him.

Anything and everything Lucas has created is undone. Star Wars isn't Star Wars anymore, it's just an IP being used by Disney and Kennedy to push THE MESSAGE.

@jst5 - Yep. This is what's happening. And if anyone can defend this nonsense then I don't even know what to say.
CorndogBurglar
CorndogBurglar - 6/6/2024, 5:53 PM
@Blergh - Its what reviews are saying for people that had early access to the first 4 episodes.

I don't know how anyone can defend this crap. I know the first 2 episodes seem normal and tame, but just wait until episode 3.

It fundamentally changes Star Wars as we all know it.
CorndogBurglar
CorndogBurglar - 6/6/2024, 5:56 PM
@Blergh - The Master is 100% going to turn out to be the twins' mother from the lesbian witch coven. Mark my words, when they do the reveal she will say some kind of variation of "I AM YOUR MOTHER!". Just because Kathleen Kennedy hates Star Wars fans and wants to stick it to them any way she can.

jst5 - 6/6/2024, 6:00 PM
@Blergh - It's real...three different YouTubers who do reviews already watched all 4 and they broke it down...and I agree with what all three ended with...this is probably what will end up taking Star Wars off of life support and will die.Heck ...one of YouTubers is about as gay as it gets....and he was pissed off by what he watched...but then again he's an actual Star Wars fan.

@jst5 - I‘m about as lib as it gets, I don’t mind moralizing storytelling. But that’s just lore breaking for no reason other than to piss people off.

Didn’t mind Reva, really embrace focus on female characters (SW has always been pretty pro feminism) but that’s clearly a terrible choice. Demystifying the Force was a bad choice in the prequels, it’s even dumber that way.

I’d prefer a second season to Obi Wan, really weird how McGregor wants it to happen and Kenendy is shooting him down.
Ashoka was pretty good. Not sure how Filioni would be open to that choice

@jst5 - lol if this is true I'll keep it in mind for a certain user here. He genuinely believes "the force is female" is just a shirt and kennedy isn't putting any feminist propaganda in her star wars projects.

@CorndogBurglar - I said "I am your Mother" the other day, it's just the way of them saying Anakin's birth isn't special and it takes away the shock value of what Vader said to Luke.

@jst5 - This is so deliciously retarded that I can't wait for it. They have just begun the final bedshitting.

Can't wait for all the coping cucks on here to make it make sense and say it's not gay or how they're going to retcon it into meaning.

Maybe a few of them will have their balls drop and they'll see the light...nah.

They'll just pretend they like it so they're not going against the MESSAGE

@Origame - There are lots of really naive and stupid people who roam this rock.I spent a little over 15 years in the Marines...I've seen most of the world...and that is one thing that is clear to me.It's only getting worse because the younger group is next level worse.

Origame - 6/6/2024, 7:42 PM
@jst5 - as a teacher, I can't agree with you more.

I had a 6th grade class for health. As punishment for them misbehaving in another class I had them write an essay to define what health is and why it's important. No joke, multiple students came up to me asking "what is health".

Somehow didn't learn that in 6 years of school, nor did they get an idea of what health is from all the talks and projects we had about fitness, cardio, and nutrition.

And they're going to high school in 2 years 🙄

CorndogBurglar - 6/6/2024, 7:55 PM
@marvel72 - Exactly! They are replacing it with a female doing it so now nothing was special about the white males of Star War's history.
CorndogBurglar
CorndogBurglar - 6/6/2024, 8:17 PM
@Origame - @jst5 is 100% telling the truth. At least the truth as we know it from reviews by people that have seen episodes 1-4.

Episode 3 is a flashback episode. We learn that the group of Jedi we've been following went to a planet to find someone that's Force sensitive. What they find are twin girls that are force sensitive and they live with a coven of lesbian witches. Not a single man to be seen anywhere and they're all rubbing each other's faces and stuff. And they literally say they were exiled because "The galaxy doesn't welcome women like them." So they are lesbians and victims. Oh, and pronouns are used. So there is now homophobia present in the Star Wars universe. Did you ever think you'd see the day?

We learn that the "mother" of the coven birthed the twins with another female member of the coven....somehow. Through scissoring apparently. Or, even if it's a force pregnancy like Anakin, it still flies in the face of "The Chosen One" and makes Anakin less important.

So there's also a scene of the mother explaining the Force to the twins and she says "Some call it the Force. We call it a thread. Pull on it, and you can change everything. 1 is powerful, 2 is stronger, and many is more." Or something along those lines.

So now we also get a totally different explanation of the Force. And it's hinting at people being stronger in groups, like the didact between Rey and Kylo. And it's heavily hinted that the Force is basically the living embodiment of ancient twins mentioned in this article. The female twin represents the light side, and the male represents the dark side, because....OF COURSE! and this is also why Rey is so powerful as a Jedi and why Sith are almost always males. Because women are stronger in the light side, and men are stronger in the dark side.

This is what's being reported by people that have watched episodes 1-4.

And if this turns out to be true, then I don't know how anyone can support it. They can spout their usual "You just hate strong WOMEN" nonsense all they want. But OG Star Wars never had some BS rules to make one particular gender or race more powerful in the Force. No rules that would say women will always be the more powerful good guys.

And when you think about it, it calls into question a lot of things. In the prequels, the Jedi Council was led by males mostly. Were they never going to be good enough to stop Palpatine's rise to power, simply because they were male? Makes you think...

Anyway, if this turns out to be true, I'm done with Star Wars. Kathleen Kennedy hates the Star Wars fantasy. She has made all kinds of comments about the fans being prejudice. And we all know that attacking the fans is always smart.

But regardless, if this is true, I'm done. At this point I give it all a chance. But I won't be doing that anymore of even half of this stuff is true.

CorndogBurglar - 6/6/2024, 8:20 PM
@Origame - Oh, and I forgot to mention, when the Jedi go to the witch coven planet, they are there to take the twins. The witch coven dies in a fire that starts while the twins are fighting. And the Jedi take the good twin. The first two episodes already laid the ground work to say the Jedi killed the coven so they could take the kids. And that's the "revenge" that the bad twin is talking about wanting to get by killing the Jedi. So basically, the Jedi are being portrayed as baby stealing murderers.
Origame
Origame - 6/6/2024, 9:09 PM
@CorndogBurglar - this is like just doing what South park made fun of them for 🤣

Also, their description of the show always confused me, because how are you gonna convince me jedi are maybe evil and sith are maybe good. Now I know the answer is to just suddenly make them baby stealing murderers, despite how the jedi have always been portrayed.

If done correctly Abeloth would be a fantastic piece of cosmic horror. And especially having an entity beyond "mortal bounds" as a villain for Star Wars could throw it into an age of higher fantasy.
Would love for the series to go further into the future and present us with an almost high-fantasy take on the series. Force demons, ghosts, dragon like creatures with the backdrop of what the world of SW would consider "modern". Would be a blast to create a new era in this world.

TheVisionary25 - 6/6/2024, 5:32 PM
Hmmm , this could be a possibility though I think Leslye Headland saying this series will be standalone gives me pause.

I do like the theory though and would be cool with it if it’s true since that could give us a very interesting antagonist for the future in Abeloth.

Anyway , what are people’s feelings of Qimir?.

He’s an interesting character so far and I like Manny Jacinto’s portrayal in which he can go from dopey & disheveled to unnerving & intelligent , dudes slippery which I like so far.

However , he definitely seems to be another Acolyte since he knows about Mae’s mission and her master…

Plus dude handled her with relative ease when she attacked him in ep 2.

I don’t think he’s the master as people are speculating but he’s definitely more then he seems which I hope we find out about!!.

@TheGreenRanger - Virtue signaling will prove to be quite costly for Disney/Lucasfilm. Pandering to a base that doesn't even like your product to begin with, all while demonizing your core base as nothing more than a bunch of racists and sexists. When Star Wars becomes a dead brand they've only themselves to blame... But of course they won't. They will still blame us.
TheGreenRanger
TheGreenRanger - 6/6/2024, 6:10 PM
@DarthOmega - I’m convinced they hide behind the review bomb buzzword to justify it to the investors and what not. Never holding themselves accountable.

Or,

It’s the California/ Hollywood hubris that doesn’t care. Either way, it’s all tainted and ruined at this point
Batmangina
Batmangina - 6/6/2024, 6:50 PM
@DarthOmega - It already has been costly AF. NOBODY goes to the movies anymore and damn sure not to see Mary Sue Palpatine ever again.

How many losses of Biblical proportion have they had on what should have been huge moneymakers?

The streaming side has never made money. How long can this actually last?

The Parks are dying:
DarthOmega
DarthOmega - 6/6/2024, 7:25 PM
@Batmangina - They recently got rid of a beloved fan favorite ride there and replaced it with a film hardly anyone watched or cared about. The only reason they did so is because the character was black and it fits in with their virtue signaling.

Well when Bob Iger viewed it earlier this year he said it was boring. So do many of the guests after it opened recently. They just can't sustain interest and they seem to be clueless as to why.

DarthOmega - 6/6/2024, 7:29 PM
@TheGreenRanger - It's the California bubble. These people went to the same overpriced schools, go to the same overpriced coffee shops, shop at the same overpriced stores. They work, eat, and play together all in a tightly concealed echo chamber.

The second someone else has a difference of opinion they short circuit. The people of America must like hearing endlessly about identity right? It's what we here in Commiefornia are obsessed with so surely the rest of the country likes it right? WRONG! Turns out we liked to be entertained not preached to by a bunch of goofy leftists

@DarthOmega - I haven't gone to Disney in 25 years - don't miss it at all.

My favorite thing at the moment is Gen Z on TikTok after filing their taxes - the shock and awe and realization that nothing is free and the tears of sorrow are delicious.

DEI departments across the country are being shuttered and shut down.

The guilt trip worked for a minute but the reality is nobody actually cares about sexuality or race or gender from either side except for a fraction on the fringes of either side.

@BruceWayng - A lot of people seem to gloss over the fact that Grogu & Anakin were both born around the same time and the same age and gloss over the fact that Grogu could technically be the chosen one and not Anakin. Anakin was just a cover for Darth Sidious to distract the Jedi Order in his attempt to get Grogu. If we break down the "New Star Wars", Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker were just pawns in a greater scheme by The Emperor to build replica clones of himself while the Empire & Rebellion battled.

@BruceWayng - I heard about the rumor. Umm, wasn’t this originally theorized to be a part of a popular character’s origins. It makes sense that of certain people to attempt to manipulate the force to suit their needs. It makes sense. And it sounds cool. Makes these people play god.
