Warning: Spoilers observe for Episode 3 of The Acolyte.
The third episode of The Acolyte raised one massive query for Star Wars followers, however in accordance with sequence creator Leslye Headland, there isn’t any clear-cut reply to it.
Episode 3, ‘Future’, pivots 16 years into the previous to fill within the particulars in regards to the tragic journey of Osha and Mae. We meet the twins’ moms, Koril and Aniseya, and study that Koril was chargeable for bringing “these women into the world” and that she “carried them” whereas Aniseya “created them.”
Nevertheless, followers had been notably to know what Koril meant when she requested, “What occurs if the Jedi uncover how you created them?” The dialogue suggests there’s extra to their existence than meets the attention, resulting in questions on their creation, however Headland has indicated the reply just isn’t so easy.
“If you happen to preserve watching the present, we do discuss that and discover that,” Headland teased in a latest interview with Entertainment Weekly in regards to the flashback episode. “I’d say there is not one reply to it. Some characters imagine sure issues and different characters imagine different issues when it comes to what she means by that. So you are going to have to observe and determine which facet of that argument you are on.”
Aniseya confirms throughout an change with Jedi Grasp Indara (who returns for the flashback episode after struggling a deadly blow final week) that “there isn’t any father” in Osha and Mae’s origin, which prompted followers to attract parallels between the twins and Anakin Skywalker regardless of there nonetheless being some variations between them.

Anakin was created by the Drive itself and is the Chosen One. He was nonetheless particular. We nonetheless do not understand how Osha and Mae had been created, seemingly by means of some arduous ritual.
Additionally the Jedi had been introduced nearly as good and properly intentioned on this episode. Nobody is painted because the villain

I don’t assume they’ll have been created in a literal sense by the mom character. the entire two as one factor. I feel osha and Mae had been as soon as one they usually did some kind of nasty ritual and Mae is principally the darkness separated from Osha

Anakin is the Chosen One; Osha & Mae (& Rey) had been all created by means of interference with the Drive, whereas Anakin was created purely by the Drive.

Osha and Mae aren’t the chosen one’s. They weren’t created by the drive, they had been created utilizing the drive. Two very various things. Anakin can also be not presupposed to be the one product. If it had been, the council wouldn’t have been so skeptical about him being the chosen one.

It additionally had individuals pondering that the present is threading in a connection to Palpatine’s grasp, Darth Plagueis — a strong Sith Lord who might use the Drive to affect midi-chlorians to spawn beings. Some viewers assume Plagueis might have had a direct hand in creating Osha and Mae, and others imagine the dual’s existence acted as a possible catalyst for him to experiment with midi-chlorian manipulation.
Alright, Acolyte idea time…
Qimir and Mae are apprentice to Darth Plaguesis who created Mae & Osha.
Plaguesis was the unique Sith rumored to have means to create life. It was inferred that Osha & Mae had been born in a peculiar means with no father..

Additionally, not saying that the Sith on this sequence is Plagueis (might be Tenebrous or another person) however he’ll hint his information of Midi-chlorian manipulation again to the Brendok coven.

I might considered this, I additionally considered the way it may tie in a bit to Ahsoka’s sequence in the event that they intend to discover The Mom. I really feel like each this coven and the nightsisters observe a type of connection to the drive that permits them to control life itself (creation/reanimation).
— Amber (@AmberVeee) June 12, 2024
I positively assume we’re seeing one thing associated to Darth Plagueis on this episode. Maybe the witches have made some kind of take care of him however I feel the Sith are concerned with Osha & Mae’s delivery. #TheAcolyte #TheAcolyteSpoilers

There was no additional phrase on the identification of Mae’s Sith ‘Grasp’ this week, however the newest installment nonetheless gave followers lots to unpack.
