Mystery and War of Galaxies Go to Manola Franquicia, during most of the half century, he has dedicated himself to responding to mysteries, large and small, about his galaxy, sometimes for good or bad. But it rarely has a galaxies war, history has been a mystery in terms of its gender and acolyte embraces that structure of all my heart from the first … and then with the rapid investment those head expectations.
“Lost/Found” and “Revenge/Justice”, the premiere in two parts of El Acoolito, begins to run challenging those typical tropes of the mystery genre with a one-two in its first 10 minutes. First, on the planet, we are witnessing the murder of teacher Jedi Indara (Carrie Ann Moss), at the hands of the MAE murderer, who manages the force. (Amandla Stenberg), creating a mystery that is simply more than “who killed this Jedi?” Mae almost wants to be known for what he does, wrapped in a layer but not in the shadow: he enters dancing to the bar where he is inquired, unscrupulously to show who she is to her enemy, and even growl . There is no mystery here. In the sense of a victim and an aggressor that must be analyzed by clues, at least not by the audience, of course, as the action is eventually addressed to Coruscant, we will establish the rest of the players in this “mystery”, which will develop He hardly in the course of El Acolitoes the season. What is here is not a mystery, but a catalyst.
The other turn hits us and the acolyla narration of Mae immediately after Mae calmly moves away from the scene of her crime: light years away in a ship of the Commerce Federation, Amandla Stenberg wakes up to continue her day. But this is not disguised, she is. Sister, Osha, a twin who has a very interesting story that becomes immediately evident when her day deviates with the arrival of a Jedi aboard her employer’s ship. It turns out that Osha not only has a story with the order and was a former Padawan, but now the Jedi have assumed, through the testimony of witnesses about the attack on Uda, that she is responsible for the death of Indara. It is a classic trope of mystery of murder, but once again, the acolyte is not interested in playing with those tropes directly. The case of wrong identity that is clear for the audience is not without clarifying the Jedi for a long time, or the strict boy scout with the rules and former friend of Osha, Yord Fandar (Charlie Bennett), which brings it, nor to the Master Sol (Lee Jung-Jae), Osha’s former teacher, who is assigned to investigate Indara’s death under the pretext of keeping things hidden.
This is that the acolyte really begins to tell you his true mystery, and while the backdrop of this broader story on the return of the dark side to prominence through Mae’s mission as acolyite in a trial for whoever his Masked teacher is there, his biggest question is not about the revenge of the Sith, nor a ghost threat. Nor is it the fact that Sol’s investigation is not necessarily about bringing to the murder They inspired their atmosphere so far) tells him, to ensure the embarrassing news that a Jedi is killed by one of his own, old or not, dating his political enemies. which brings together all these characters: Mae, Osha, Sol, Yord, the current Padawan Jecki de Sol (Dafne Keen), and the mysterious intermediary of Mae, Qmir (Manny Jacinto), joined to discover how they are really connected by their lives past.
We begin to receive fragments of that while Sol, Yord and Jecki are aim to try to locate Osha, who, after being arrested and sent to Coruscant with Yord at the beginning of the first episode, found a forced landing on the icy planet Carlac . We learned from that Osha was indeed telling Yord the truth, that he had a twin sister, who believed he had perished in a fire on his native planet, Brendok, in the inciteing incident in which Osha was recruited by the Jedi . We learn that not only was Sol there, also Indara, as well as two other Jedi, Torbin (Dean-Charles Chapman) and Kelnacca (Joonas Suotamo). What happened in Brendok clearly chased the Jedi involved: the sun’s face is carved in pain while slowly talks about how complicated this investigation is beyond its surface, a penalty that returns when it finds Osha in Carlac, at one time Equal parts the fugitive and clone wars’ “The wrong Jedi”, while she begs him that she was not responsible for the death of Indara.
But we learn something much more important than doing the acolyte the personal mystery of is much more complicated and much more connected to what the series means about the Jedi at this time. Moment in time: a point of passage between its supposed vertex in the high Republic novels and comics, and the recalcitrant dogmatic bureaucracy in which the ghost threat has become: whatever happens in Brendok, the order Jedi has been Minting in this regard for 16 years, to themselves and their members, their allies in the Republic, to the people involved in it and harmed by it, like Osha. And now, embodied by Mae and she tests teacher, she is exploding in the face.
It is this mystery that the acolyte weaves more masterfully throughout its debut episodes, even when the rhythm is accelerated once Osha has been associated with Sol, Yord and Jecki. To try to prevent their sister from killing the rest of the Jedi who were parked in Brendok. It is there when seeing Sol impresses how secret this investigation has to remain, and every time, she rejects it simply doing the work of investigating a crime, instead of resorting to the (raid) evidence they have to condemn Osha for it. He is there in the fact that Osha a sister is not included in the Jedi archives on her because she is a former Padawan, something peculiar, since you might think that not only losing a relative in the incident that recruited it was noticed, but It would have become a necessary trauma to face and overcome as part of your training. And it is there while the action is directed to the planet Olega, when we and mae alike directly learn from Torbin, who has made a vote of a decade of meditative silence, to avoid discussing what happened, which will choose death by the poisons of His murderer for admitting any role he has played, telling him with his last breath that, regardless of what the Jedi has done in Brendok, they thought they were doing the right thing.
That marriage between the personal interests of this mystery: Osha wanting to see what has been of the sister who believed to have lost, Sol pushed. And it was debated between its duty towards the order and its duty as Jedi, since the Mae itself was so driven by a need for justice. For everything that the Jedi did, pushing it to the arms of the dark side, and what the acolyte means about the Jedi as an institution that is full of potential. It is clear that the sparks are barely beginning to fly in these two episodes, especially in the brief confrontation of Sun and MAE with Olega in the climax of “Revenge/Justice”, and similarly in that of Mae and Osha. Brief meeting, when the latter tries to shoot a stun to his sister instead of connecting after all these years. But whatever. The acolyte has planned for its mystery is much more interesting than a murder or a case of wrong twin identities, that is clear.
The acolyte is now transmitted in Disney+.
