STAR WARS: THE ACOLYTE ÉEPISODE 6, THE DYAD IS CONFIRMED
While Star Wars: The Acolytecontinues its plot on Disney+, things are tightening up. The Jedi are finally beginning to take stock of the threat that comes from the side obscure, after years of relaxing on Coruscant, the Sith Qimir proves more intriguing than ever, and the twins Mae and Osha make us think more than ever of theirs. the Rey/Kylo Ren dyad seen in postology. This is all the more striking since the role reversal at the same time. The end of episode 5, Osha ending up with Qimir, and Mae with Master Sol.
THE MYSTÈ RES AROUND QIMIR’S HELMET
The episode entitled “Teach/Corrupt”(very evocative) also gave us some keys to understanding around the helmet of the Sith Qimir. This helmet which seems inspired by from Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic ismade of Cortosis Ore and is resistant to lightsabers. This rare and fibrous material is best known for its tendency to bend. temporarily deactivate weapons such as sabers.
But we also learn via a conversation between the Sith and Osha that the helmet has “sensory deprivation” properties. Understand: it allows you to avoid any attempt at mental control on the part of your opponent. These words echo those spoken during the duel against Jedi Sol. When the latter demands that his enemy show his face, Qimir declines. «So that you can read my thoughts? No, no.»

But things don't stop there. Obviously eager to place this relic at the center of the episode, showrunner Leslye Headland offers us a final sequence showing Osha donning Qimir's helmet, repaired by earlier in the episode. While the sequence wants to show us that the former padawan of Sol seems to embrace more and more the side of herself. dark side of the Force (hence the reference to the title “Teach”), it offers fans an obvious nod to the Force. Darth Vader.
The point of view of the helmet lowered on Osha's head and the view from inside it is reminiscent of the transition from Anakin to Vader in Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith. Then comes the muffled breathing characteristic of that of Dar Vader.
What can we understand from this final scene magnified by a musical theme more distressing than ever, if not a new nod to the past? the legacy of George Lucas? Will Osha tip over to the right side? obscure, when Mae – on the contrary – will see in the Jedi Order a real meaning to her life. his life? The last two episodes of the Disney series will perhaps give us these answers.
