The Acolyte is keeping the identity of the mysterious Sith Master a secret, but after the events of episode 4, many clues have surfaced. Mae and her loyalties have shifted towards the Jedi, leaving her mission unfulfilled. However, when she is in trouble and surrounded, her Master shows up and fights off multiple Jedi, revealing a fierce power with a distinctive helmet.
Many believe that the Master is Qimir, played by Manny Jacinto. Qimir’s interactions with Mae, his disappearance from the narrative, and his cunning personality all point towards him being the secret Sith Master. However, the show’s tendency to withhold information suggests that there may be more to the story. Some speculate that Mae and Osha are triplets, and the missing sister could be the true Sith Master, adding a new dimension to the plot.
Another theory suggests that Mother Koril, the Zabrak witch and mother of Mae and Osha, could be the Sith Master. With a strong motive and connection to Mae, Mother Koril is a compelling candidate for the role. Vernestra Rwoh, a Jedi Knight from the High Republic books, is also under suspicion. Her disillusionment with the Jedi Order and mysterious past raise questions about her true intentions.
A more outlandish theory proposes that Keef Girgo, a name assumed by Cassian Andor in “Andor,” could be the Sith Lord. The name’s significance and potential ties to a long-dead Sith Lord add an intriguing twist to the speculation. Lastly, the infamous Jar Jar Binks theory resurfaces, suggesting that the bumbling Gungan could be the secret Sith Lord manipulating events behind the scenes.
As the plot thickens and tensions rise in “The Acolyte,” the true identity of the Sith Master remains a mystery. With multiple theories circulating and no definitive answer in sight, fans eagerly await the next episode to unravel the secrets of this thrilling Star Wars series.
