Will there be a season 2 of The Acolyte?
While there has been no official announcement of a second season of Star Wars of a second episode, it does not feel like a far-fetched dream. Fans of the show are trending their demand for the renewal of The Acolyte ever way before the last episode was aired. The last episode saw Osha and Mae learning about Sol’s truth and the whole chase back to Brendok and Venestra not mentioning the twins or the presence of Qimir, as reported by The Wrap.
A lot needs to be resolved according to the events of episode 8. Beginning with the biggest question is who watched Osha and Qimir leave for Brendok right at the beginning of the episode? It was hard to identify the figure with gnarled hands, dark red eyes and a dark hood. The next question is what is the connection between Qimir and the Knights of Ren? It is undeniable that everything from Qimir’s helmet to his fighting stance has a resemblance to the elite group of dark side warriors and Kylo Ren’s theme song is played every time Qimir is on screen.
One of the prominent mysteries to be solved is unveiling the mask of Qimir’s master. Also, the appearance of Yoda raised questions about his role in the plot and will be playing a bigger part in future.
