The Acolyte Recap: The Seizin’ of the Witch
Getting the Jedi perspective on the Mae-Osha origin story fills in some gaps but also opens some new ones.
Back in episode three of this season of The Acolyte, we paid our first visit to the planet of Brendok, 16 years ago, to witness the moment when the young twins Mae and Osha were separated, with each believing the other to be dead. The other half of the Mae/Osha origin story arrives this week; and while “Destiny” was told largely from the perspective of the girls and their mothers, Aniseya and Koril, this episode (titled “Choice”) gives us the Jedi point of view. This chapter has some gaps of its own too — primarily involving what we’re not seeing back on Coruscant, where the Jedi Council is presumably weighing Indara’s reports about Osha and Mae’s “high M-Counts” and identical “symbionts” and the possibility that the girls are actually the same artificially created consciousness housed in two bodies (!).
