The Acolyte: 3 major predictions for episode 7

The Acolyte's final two episodes are bound to be mind-blowing, given Star Wars' track record of delivering amazing season finales.

Episode 7 is the penultimate episode of the season, which means that it needs to do a great job at expertly setting up an exciting season finale. With so many possible turns the story can take, here are three wild predictions for episode 7 of The Acolyte.

1. Brendok's Sithy Secret

The truth can't remain hidden for much longer. Chances are, with Kogonada directing episode 7, who also directed episode 3, "Destiny," this will feature a lot of flashbacks to Brendok. This means the return of the witches and possibly some more of Wookiee Jedi Kelnacca, Master Indara, Torbin, and more. I believe that either Mother Aniseya or Mother Koril survived and will reveal herself. A few fans have predicted that either Mother Aniseya may be Qimir's Sith master, which would be a real shocker.

2. Qimir's past and his age

Qimir's backstory has to be revealed at some point, which means we'll find out who his Master was. He could've been trained by Master Vernestra Rwoh or even Master Sol. You could make a compelling argument for either of the two. As Qimir seems to hint that he was a Jedi a long time ago, I guess that he is much older than he appears to be and has used the dark side to mask his true appearance, and when Osha sees what he looks like, she'll be stunned.

3. Master Sol's demise

Things don't look good for Master Sol, who's reeling from the shock of everything that happened on Khofar and the burden of whatever happened on Brendok years ago. There are clear signs that point to Master Sol being mentally disturbed at the moment. Although the series seems to point at all Jedi carrying a false sense of emotional balance, Sol has solid reasons for his emotional breakdown, some of which we're not fully aware of yet.

But with Sol gone by the time Vernestra reached Khofar, and the evidence pointing to the massacre being committed by Sol, I fear that the Jedi will never learn the truth. Sol will either die before he can tell them everything or be killed after he confesses the truth, as the Jedi may try to paint him as the bad one and sweep their mistakes with Qimir under the carpet.
