Amandla Stenberg as Osha and Manny Jacinto as Qimir in The Acolyte

The Big Picture The Acolyte has tread a lot of new ground in the Star Wars universe by exploring the past, but in doing so it also relapses on its own storylines, perhaps more than necessary. Focusing on force-sensitive twins Mae and Osha , the third episode of The Acolyte, “Destiny,” takes us back 16 years to explain the rift in ideologies between the two sisters.

Flash forward to this week, only to find that Episode 7 provides no follow-up or relief to the previous tease. Instead, it throws us back into the same period as the third episode and keeps us there for its 43-minute runtime . The episode, “Choice”, chronicles the identical happenings of “Destiny” but from the Jedi’s point of view instead of the twins. However, the choice means we see a lot of “Destiny” rehashed and cut with new scenes.

While we shouldn’t take for granted more of Carrie-Ann Moss’ Jedi Master Indara after her abrupt death in the premiere, The Acolyte’s priority should lie in covering as much track as it can in its already limited run time. In the streaming age where popular competing shows like The Boys or House of the Dragon have an entire hour per episode, The Acolyte’s runtime rarely exceeds forty minutes.

1 Is ‘The Acolyte’ Setting Itself Up For Future Seasons? By not jumping back to the present day in Episode 7, The Acolyte has killed the tension and excitement it spent several episodes building up, but maybe that’s the plan? While it still doesn’t make sense to waste The Acolyte’s penultimate episode on an event 16 years in the past, perhaps the larger story will unfold across another season and the finale will serve as a part one of sorts.
