The Acolyte

Season 1: Episode 1: Lost / Found

It starts off by saying, "A 100 years before the rise of the Empire, it is a time of peace. The Jedi Order and the Galactic Republic have prospered for centuries without war".

Then it says, "But in the dark corners of the galaxy, a powerful few learn to use the Force in secret".

"One of them, a lone assassin, risks discovery to seek revenge..."

I love this start of the show. It gets you eager for the start of it. It starts on the planet Ueda. And you see a cloaked teenage looking girl entering a town. She offers a coin and asks someone where their Jedi are and in a foreign language is told where they are at.

She goes into a building and looks around and finds who she is looking for. A Jedi named Master Indara. The girl tells Master Indara that they have unfinished business to tend to and tells her to attack her with all of her strength. This gets some laughter from the other people at her table and she moves her hand to motion them to stop.

Master Indara tells the girl that she has no quarrel with her and the girl tells her, Attack me, Jedi! Indara calmly explains that Jedi do not attack the unarmed.

The girl replies to Indara, yes you do. Then the girl proceeds to attack the members at the table forcing Indara to start fighting the girl after all other members are down. Master Indara asks the girl who trained her. The girl doesn’t reply and they keep fighting.

Master Indara has hold of the girl and pulls her mask down and sees who it is, then goes to move the girls hair and you see a marking of some kind on the side of the girls head. Master Indara asks the girl, what are you doing here? The girl replies, I am here to kill you and using the force she blasts Master Indara backwards.

There is a noise and they realize someone, the bar owner, is still around below them. The girl distracts Master Indara by throwing a blade at him. Master Indara stops the blade from hitting him, but ends up taking a blade to her heart. The girl retrieves her blades and leaves.

Then you see what looks like the same girl, but with shorter hair waking up on a ship. She talks to this little droid named Pip. We find out she is a mechanic, meknek, on a ship and her name is Osha. An alarm went off that there was an emergency and she finds out she needs to fix the shields on this ship.

A fire starts while she’s trying to fix the shields and she freezes and starts to remember something from her past. She snaps out of it and puts the fire out just in time to see another ship fly by. She realizes they are Jedi.

The Jedi board the ship and we find they are looking for her. Yord, the Jedi and Osha know each other. We learn that Osha joined the Order when she was 8 but when that didn’t workout she became a meknek about 6years ago because she needed a job. Apparently she didn’t make it in the order because she was mourning the loss of her mother, sister and village in a fire.

Osha finds out she’s a suspect in the murder of Master Indara and that master Indara was the one that told the council to discontinue Osha ‘s training, but ultimately it was Osha’s decision to leave the Jedi Order.

The Jedi had the owner of the bar that the girl had let live made her as the one that killed Master Indara and trashing his bar. They took her into custody. Osha tells them they are making a mistake and she is flown to Coruscant.

Mater Vernestra interrupts Master Sol’s class to tell him the bad news of having his old Padawan of his, Osha, in custody. Master Sol doesn’t believe that Osha could do something like that. Osha saw him and Master Indara as protectors.

Master Vernestra tells Master Sol, if it were to become public that a Jedi killed one of their own…and Master Sol replied with, Our political enemies could use it against us. They agree discretion is needed. We learn that Master Sol still has an emotional attachment to Osha.

Osha is on a ship with other inmates and the other inmates are planning an escape. Osha didn’t want a part of it and ends up crashing with the ship.

His Padawan reminds him that this pastime encourages sentimentality and nostalgia and both of these can lead to ... He replied with our memories are lessons. If we don’t meditate on the past. She replied with, we are doomed to repeat it.

They found the other prisoners and find out the ship went down and they go to get her. Meanwhile Osha wakes up on a snowy planet, Carlac. The ship is badly damaged. Osha sees someone out of the corner of her eye and goes to run after her. When the person turns around it is Mae her twin sister when she was a girl. Then they are some how back on Brendok and everything is on fire. Then they end up in their bedroom. Mae is chanting, " You are with me. I am with you. Always one, but born as two. As above sits the stars. And below lies the sea. I give you, you. And you give me, me." Then Osha asks Mae if she killed Indara and Mae answers, yes. Then Osha wakes up and she is on the planet Carlac in the wrecked ship.

Master Sol and his Padawan are talking and he tells her that 16 years ago, he was posted on Osha's home planet, Brendok. That he was there when her sister started a fire that killed her and her entire family. That is when he took Osha to be his Padawan. The Padawan asks if it is possible that the twin is still alive. Master Sol says no, I saw her die.

On Carlac, Osha sees the Jedi ship coming in and leaves the ship she was in. They are saying no one could have survived this but you get the idea that Master Sol can sense her presense and they go after her. She ends up cornered. Her options are to go with them or jump to her death. She sees Master Sol and tells him she didn't do it and slips off the edge. Master Sol saves her. Osha tells him that Mae is alive. He tells her that he believes them.

The next scene you hear a voice saying, The Jedi live in a dream. A dream they believe everyone shares. (You see who we now know is Mae walking across some rocks.) The voice continues, If you attack a Jedi with a weapon, you will fail. Steele or laser are no threat to them. But an acolyte. An Acolyte kills without a weapon. An Acolyte ... kills the dream. (You see Mae looking at a person that turns their lightsaber on and it is red.) And that is how it ends. I do not know about you, reader, but I am super excited to go on with the rest of this season.

Season 1: Episode 2: Revenge / Justice

We start out seeing that the setting is a planet called Olega and at the local Jedi Temple. You see a little girl throw something at a circular object on a wall. It turns out to be a "door bell". The droid sticks its head out of the circle and said, Who did that? Kid, the Jedi temple isn't a place for games. The little girl looks and you see Mae watching what is going on. She presses the button of a device in her hand and it goes back to the little girl who says, Hello! I'm over here, come on! The droid starts talking in it's language and Mae walks and throws somwthing ontop of the droids head. It goes back inside and opens the door. Mae pays the little girl some coins for helping her and enters the temple. She walks through the temple and finds who she went to go see.

He is sitting there floating in air and she walks around him. She says Master Torbin. We have unfinished business. He remains there just sitting, eyes closed. She gets ready to block like she did with Master Idara and says, Attack me with all your strength. He continues to just sit there. She goes to try to hit him but there is a a shield of air around him. She tries to hit him a few more times and cannot get through. She tries to hit from above and tries to get through with her knives. She hears voices and escapes. A guy walks in looking around. And looks up, where you can see it opens to the sky, frowns and walks out.

Osha wakes up and sees Master Sol's Padawanmessing with the controls in the room to work. Osha says, Hey Padawan, you can try repolarizing the power couplings. The Padawan tries it and it works. Then she says, Thanks. You must be a pilot, then? Osha says, No. I am a meknek. The Padawan says, Wow. That's dangerous. I thought that only R2 droids did the outer ship work. Osha replied with, well, any astromech can do the job, but I am better company than a droid. And, um, way more flexible.

Then Master sol walks by and Yord tells him, I must protest over not restraining the prisoner. She has escaped once before. Master Sol says, You still think she killed Indara. Yord says, You don't? Even in her sister were still alive, Mae would not have the training to defeat a Jedi Master. To which Master Sol replies, Osha hasn't trained in six years. Then Yord says, let's say this twin theory holds true. They could be working together. Master Sol says, Yord, don't let fear affect your judgment. Then Master Sol walks away.

In the next scene you see Master Sol talking to a holagram of Master Vernestra and you hear her say, Twins? Osha has a twin sister? Master Sol says, Her name is Mae. She was presumed dead 16 years ago. But I believe she is responsible fo Indara's murder. Master Vernestra says, I am inclined to agree. There's been another incident. A suspect matching Osha's description broke into a local Jedi temple. Master Sol asks where? to which Vernestra answers, Olega. She could hardly be in your custody and committing another crime at the same time. Master Sol asks, Would you like me to investigate or bring Osha back to Coruscant? Vernestra says, Go investigate. Take Osha with you. She could be an asset.

In the next scene Master Sol says, Set a course for Olega. Osha says, Torbin is on Olega. Yord says, We are not escorting the prisoner to. Master Sol cuts him off saying, Osha is coming with us. I believe she can help. Yord says, Master OSha is not --. Master Sol says, The Jedi agree with me. Yord says, Setting course for Olega.

In the next scene you see Mae walking through a street of Olega. She goes to see this guy, Qimir. She finds him and he is sleeping. SHe throws a cup to wake him. He tells Mae that he waited up all night for her. Where was she? Mae answers with, Risking my life. Qimir says, Oh yeah. So, did you kill him. She tells Qimir how she couldn't get through and couldn't hit him. She asks him to make a poison and hands him a bag. Qimir opens the bag and says, Bunta. Really? Mae says I am running out of time. Qimir says you're running out of Jedi. If you think a sleeping monk is tough, good luck defeating a Wookiee. Mae says, I have two Jedi to kill after Torbin. And I will kill one of them without a weapon and please the Master. But I need to do this my way. Qimir is talking while making the poison. He says, everyone has a weakness. The Jedi justify their galactic dominance in the name of peace. And Peace. Mae cuts in saying, Is a lie. I know. Qimir says Torbin is not the serene and, as you say, impenatrable meditator. Like every Jedi, he only thinks he's found peace. What he really needs is something you can give him. Absolution. QImir hands Mae the poison and she says, Thank you. And starts to walk away. She stops and turns and says, It would not bode well for either of us if you told him about this. Qimir says of course.

In the next scene you are on the ship and Osha is working on her little droid Pip. Master Sol walks over to her and says, What is that? Osha says, it's a Pip droid. I am trying to sync him to your ship so I ca get some fuel levels, and some vitals, and. Master Sol interrupts her and says, I mean that. And he points to a tatoo on her right arm. She chuckles and says, Oh, uh. I got this in CorpSec. I was a crazy night with some of my crew. And you hate it. Master Sol chuckles and says, It doesn't matter what I like. Then he says, Do you believe that Mae is behind Indara's murder? Osha says, it is the only way to explain all of this. She must have survived somehow. Even though we saw her... Master Sol says, I wanted to save you both. Osha says, What happened that night wasn't your fault, Sol. I've told you that. Master sol replies with, you did. And I have made peace with what happened on Brendok. Osha says, I know you have. It was a lesson you tried to teach me, many times. To accept what I lost. And I wasn't a very good student. Master sol replies with, Perhaps I wasn't a very good teacher. Then you hear Yord on the PA that they are coming up on Olega.

The next scene the group is walking a street in Olega and are greeted by a Jedi who says, wlcome to Olega. We didn't think Coruscant would be interested in our little break in. Master Sol says, This crime may be connected to another open investigation.

In the next scene you see Mae swinging down into the room with Torbin. Then it goes back to the scene with the group talking to the Jedi. Yord says, Please, walk us through what happened last night. The Jedi says, Someone spotted a hooded intruder and alerted me, but we searched the temple and found nothing. Another Jedi approaches with the little girl that threw something at the circle object and says, But before the gatekeeper droids failed, they caught this little scoundrel, messing around our portcullis.

Then it goes back to the scene with Mae and Torbin. Mae says to Torbin, Do you remember me, Master Torbin? I know why you took the Barash Vow. (The Barash Vow is an oath in Star Wars that allows Jedi to temporarily stop taking action on behalf of the Order to focus on the Force. The vow is a form of penitence that can be used to atone for mistakes or to provide respite after a traumatic event. Jedi who take the vow may enter a state of silent meditation for years.) She continues, You thought this life would give you the peace you seek. But your past still haunts you.

Back to the scene with the gorup. The Padawan kneels down and asks the little gir if she activated the security droid. The little girl nodded yes. Then the Padawan asks why she activated it. The little girl says, she paid me to. The little girl points at Osha and said, She had a hood on but it was her. Master Sol tells the Jedi, I would like to speak with Master Torbin, please. The Jedi says, Master Torbin hasn't spoken to anyone in over 10 years. Master Sol says, He will speak to me. I'm an old friend.

Back to Mae and Torbin. Mae is telling Torbin, I offer you a choice. Confess your crime to the Jedi Council. Or receive the forgiveness you seek... she sets the posion down on the ground and says, Right here. Right now. From me. He opens his eyes.

Back to the group. The are walking through the halls towards Master Torbin's room. Now back to Mae and Torbin. Mae is telling him to face the past. He is staring at her. He floats down and says, I've been waiting for you, Mae. Then it goes back to the group. Osha hears something and sees Mae as a little girl. She separates herself from the group and follows her. Yord sees her leave the group. It goes back to Mae and Torbin. Torbin says forgive me and takes the poison. He says, We thought we were doing the right thing. He drinks he poison. Then it goes back to the group walking through the halls. Master Sol senses something and goes running.

Then the next scene is with Osha walking down some stairs. She sees Master Torbin lying on the ground. She picks up the vial and smells it. Her eyes widen. She looks up and then closes Torbins eyes. The group runs in and the Jedi yells, Hey! Step away from the body. Osha says, I know what this looks like, but I can explain. The Jedi tells her, Do not move. The Padawan says, maybe start explaining. Osha says, He was poisoned. The Jedi says, How do you know? Yord enters the way Osha entered and says, She didn't do it. My sights were on her the entire time. I followed her when she broke off. This Master was dead when we arrived. Osha thanks Yord. Osha gives the vial to Master Sol. The Padawan says, There are no signs of struggle. Master Sol says, He took this poison willingly. The Jedi ask, Why would Master Torbin kill himself? Osha says, This is Bunta from my home planet.

The next scene shows Qimir walking down the street and you hear Osha saying Bunta is a poison. My sister and I were taught to use it in hinting. If it's distilled its effects don'e last very long, so it had to have come from nearby. The group is on a balcony overlooking the street Qimir just walked down. Osha asks if this is the only apothecary in town. The Olega Padawan answers, It is, but that's not our regular guy. I don't know who that guy is. They are looking at Qimir. Yord says, was he alone? Jecki, Master Sol's Padawan replies with, I've seen no signs of Mae. They make a plan and finally decide that Osha goes to talk to Qimir acting as if she is Mae. Jecki says, If he's Mae's accomplice, we can send her in, she can talk to him. We can record him and monitor the conversation. That way we have a lead on Mae, plus we also get a confessin from him. It seems like the most logical way. Osha says, I am in.

Osha goes into the apothecary. Qimir asks Osha if she is alright. and says, you're back so early. Osha says, I wanted to see you. Qimir says, Mae, uh, are you okay? Did the poison work. Jecki says, that's all we need. Let's pull her out. Qimir can be heard on the comms saying, You're acting so strange. Wait. You killed Torbin without the poison. He will be so pleased. Osha says, No, I used it. I just wanted to thank you. He takes a step towards Osha and says, You look exactly like her. She backs up and pulls the gun out. Qimir is like Woah, Wait. Yord comes in and says, Back away. Then he asks Where is Mae. Qimir is trying to escape. Jecki comes from behind and says, We know you supplied Mae with the poison that killed Master Torbin. We've got your confession. Qimir says, Wait. That was her thing. I didn't know what she was going to do with that stuff. Master Sol says, If you cooperate, we will consider letting you go with a warning. Qimir says, Okay, thank you. Thank you, sir. Please don't do the memory wipe thing or whatever it is you guys do. Master Sol says, What is your relationship to Mae? Qimir says, I am just her supplier. Yeah, I started out gun running for the Hutts. Now I supply people like her with what they need. For the right price. Qimir is moving around while he is talking. Yord says, Well, maybe you can supply us with the truth. Master Sol says, Who is "he"? Qimir said, Uh, I thought he was with you? and he points to Yord. Master Sol clarifies. Does Mae have a Master? Is someone training her? Qimir says, Listen, I have no idea what's going on with that girl. All I know is that she wants revenge on four Jedi. If you want to get to her, she'll be back here tonight. I'm holding some things for her.

Master Sol says, Yord, secure the perimeter. Keep an eye out for Mae. Jecki, get to the ship. He tells Osha, you're coming with me. We return tonight.

The next scene is it is night time and they are waiting for Mae. Osha and Master Sol argue over who will confront Mae. Master Sol said, I didn't know you were still so angry. Osha says, She killed my family. She destroyed my life. Master Sol said, This is grief. Let it go. Osha gets mad and says, You are not my Master. I do not need your permisson to go out there and confront her. I deserve justice. Master Sol says, You want revenge. Look what revenge has done to your sister. I couldn't save her when you were children. Let me try now. He starts to walk away. Osha said, She wants to kill four Jedi stationed on Brendok 16 years ago. Indara, Torbin, Kelnacca, and you. She wants to kill you. Master Sol said, Have faith in Mae. she shakes her head and Master Sol says, Then have faith in me.

The next scene they are waiting for Mae and spot her.Master Sol calls out and says, Mae? You survived. You killed Indara and Torbin. She throws a knife towards him and they start to brawl. Master Sol says, You attack me without a weapon. Why? She keeps brawling with him. Master Sol was able to get all of her knives while brawling and you see her looking for them and he tosses them on the ground. Master Sol says, You have misunderstood the Jedi arts. Your Master has failed you. Tell me who trained you.

The next scene is with Osha. She is listening to the comms through Pip. Jecki tells Yord she will turn on Master SOl's comms. The next scene Master Sol is holding Mae above the ground, he caught her mid fall, and he says, I see your Master has taken great pains to hide his identity. Even from you. You couldn't tell me who he is, even if you wanted to. Mae tells him, Get out of my head Jedi. And then flips up right. She lowers a blade into her hand. Master Sol says, Even after all this time, your thoughts still go to your sister. Mae screams, My sister is dead. Master Sol says, Osha is alive. Mae screams, You lie and throws the dagger and Yord grabs it in the air with the force and catches it. He says, He speaks the truth. Osha lives. Mae goes to run away but Yord jumps down in front of her.

Jecki comes with the ship saying, In the name of the Galactic Senate of the Republic, You are under arrest. Lay your weapons down and surrender. Mae looks down and you see the dirt moving from the presense of the ship. The group is watching her and she takes a step back. Master Sol holds out his hand for her. She steps back and blasts dirt everywhere. Shes gone. The head toward the city gates to try to stop her from leaving Olega. Osha hears this on the comms. Mae is running down the street and is hit by a speeder. The driver gets out of the speeder to help her. She throws him to the ground and gets in the speeder. Osha is there and raising a gun at Mae. Mae sees Osha with the gun. Mae says, Oshie. Osha starts to slowly pull the trigger and misses. Mae takes off in the speeder. Osha steps out and raises her gun again and shoots and misses a second time. Master Sol is now there and Yord joins him.

The next scene the group is back on the ship and Master Sol is talking to a hologram of Master Vernestra. She is saying, I have convened a small council to discuss next steps. We are awaiting your arrival. Master Sol says, With all due respect, we don't have time for talks, Master Vernestra. She says, Our problem has changed. Your old Padawan going rogue was one thing. But now a trained outsider is responsible. We need to strategize. Master Sol says, But we know where she's going next. We must move ... Master Vernestra interrupts saying, We don't make decisions like this without meaningful discussion, Sol. We will see you soon.

Back on Olega you see Qimir looking around. Then Mae all of a sudden starts brawling with him. He pins her. Mae says, You sold me out to the Jedi. Qimir says, they are right there. Mae said, They're everywhere. I should kill you for betraying me like this. Qimir says, I can make it up to you. I can get us out of this city. Mae says, and go where? He says, Khofar. Mae says, What the hell is Khofar? He says, A relaxing forest retreat in the Outer Rim where the Wookiee Jedi lives. She says, You found Kelnacca? He shakes his head yes. Mae says Osha is alive. He says, I know. The Jedi realize Qimir is gone and so him and Mae run.

They are showing the planet Khofar in the next scene. They show weird animals chitter and then you see someone talking in Huttese saying they are lost. The other person says, I can't believe I let you talk me into coming here. The other guy exclaimes A crashed ship! I bet there's a hyperdrive we can strip for parts. They see a sign in a foreign language and one of them says, What does it say? The other guy says I don't know. It pans out and you see a Wookiee behind them. Walking towards them. The Wookiee roars. The guy goes to shoot him and the Wookie uses the force to get the gun and he breaks it in half. The scavengers run off and the Wookie goes inside. And that is how it ends. We see where Kelnacca lives.
