What To Expect From The Acolyte Episode 4

Two Timelines Of Context Will Coalesce In The Acolyte Episode 4

Interestingly, the story ofThe Acolyteepisode 4 will combine the context clues from two timelines. These timelines include the story told inThe Acolyteepisodes 1 and 2, and the backstory context provided byThe Acolyteepisode 3. Everything that has been learned in these three installments will likely come together in a new light inThe Acolyteepisode 4, potentially providing more sympathy with the likes of Mae and Osha now that their history is known.

Also,The Acolyteepisode 4 will likely build on the cliffhanger of the premierethat featured Kelnacca,The Acolyte’s Wookiee Jedi. However, the show switched focus in episode 3, meaning Kelnacca’s fate is unknown after it was confirmed he was next on Mae’s Jedi hit list. As such,The Acolyteepisode 4 will likely continue where this left off and focus more on Kelnacca, only with the added context of what happened on Brendok decades earlier.
