Darth Plagueis as Sith leader for season 2 of The Acolyte?

The one called The Stranger in the Star Wars series deciphers the season 1 finale.

The least we can say is that the victory was resounding for the dark side, in the season 1 finale of The Acolyte. So how do you analyze it? Manny Jacinto ? Attention spoilers!

After having turned Osha, defeated Master Sol and launched the foundations of the domination of the Sith, the mysterious warrior will be able to answer to his great Master hidden in the shadows, who is clearly the famous Dark Plagueis, who came out of his cave for a second in this last episode:

“At this point I cannot confirm or deny that this is indeed Darth Plagueis.” said the actor in EW, who admits that, when he was shown the series, this sequence did not exist. So like you, when I saw the creature appear in this finale, I was in shock. So I have to talk with Leslye, the creator, to understand the implications of this unexpected roommate… I have so many questions, just like you. If that’s the case… fans have always talked about it, and I too am experiencing its possible arrival in the saga like a fan!”

It should be remembered that Plagueis the Wise is a legendary Sith Lord, who was Palpatine’s Master. He is mentioned at length to Anakin Skywalker during Revenge of the Sith. We learn that he was obsessed with immortality, attempting to manipulate midi-chlorians to create life and cheat death. Which the “Vergence” of the Force, on Brendock, clearly allows.

While waiting to see Dark Plagueis actually integrated Star Wars In The Acolyte and discover how he turned The Stranger, this former Jedi, played by Jacinto, who was Master Vernestra’s Padawan: “They had a very strong mother-son relationship, from what I understand from my discussions with Leslye. That will definitely be a dynamic to explore in Season 2. When you see him with that sense of fear on his face, it’s very much like a childish fear that only one person in particular can provoke. For him, that person is Vernestra. Why? I have no idea, but I hope we explore that later. I understand that there was this very tender, very special relationship between those two. And it was shattered in a traumatic way.

So, a lot of things are on the table for season 2 of The Acolytenot yet ordered: “Do we jump forward a bit? Maybe five or ten years? To see how the relationship has evolved with Osha and Qimir? Or do we pick up with their training dynamic and the two characters getting closer? Yes, there are a lot of threads” concludes Manny Jacinto.
