The Acolyte is LYING To Us! Crazy Star Wars Theory Changes Everything! The Secret Sith REVEALED? 

Who do YOU think will be revealed to be the Sith Lord? 👇 P.S. HAPPY FATHER’S DAY TO ALL THE DADS OUT THERE! 💫 ❤️

absolutely love that you keep your feet grounded in the lore. rather than drama or getting into that world with other creators. keep it going meg.

You and Generation Tech are now my favorite Star Wars channels, keep it going.

Classic movie murder mystery: You will see the actual villain within the first 5-minutes of a movie.

Sol has quickly become one of my favorite characters, but I've never thought he could have these little cracks of darkness in his light that could be telling. I have to admit I really like this theory that Sol turns out to be the Sith Lord. Great video, Meg.

I’m not feeling the Sol theory. His name literally means light and Osha is a play off Ashla which also represents the light. This is why he was naturally gravitating towards her. I love the conversation though. I just don’t agree with it.

I think the Sith was posing as a witch and a possessed Torbin killed all the other witches, I don’t see it being Sol. He had a disturbance in the force reaction when Torbin died

Okay this ACTUALLY makes sense! Don’t forget Leslye is obssesssd with Kreia, who was once a Jedi turned Sith Lord who spends the entire Kotor 2 game as an ex Jedi master with a different view of the force. Sol would be the perfect character to do that to! Kotor 2 ended with Kreia as the final Sith Lord that the protagonist has to face. I can see that being a similar finale for the show!

The Space Witches committed group suicide when they thought the children were dead. This is what cults do remember.

This is an interesting theory. So Sol could be Tenebrous and Qimir is the apprentice before Plagueis. Kinda sucks they would retcon the species but when you look at the canon page of Tenebrous on Star Wars fandom it’s unknown. I wonder if he had a hand in the making of the twins, which causes the force to retaliate by creating Anakin.

Other options for the sith…OSHA I love that I’m theorizing about Star Wars again. That’s all I’ve ever wanted.

Precisely. Qimir is not a master. In Legends, Darth Gean was a Twi'lek Banite follower who disappeared around 500 BBY, _which breaks the millennium thing Ki Adi said,_ but it could be her. She could have returned she was in stasis, carbon-frozen, or died. One way is obviously to wake up, the second is to thaw, but the third is the most interesting. She could have imbued her helmet or an artifact with essence transfer. If the person under the helmet is being guided to bring back the Sith, it could become significantly interesting.

The signs of a good theory are both plausibility and believability. Sol being the Sith would be a fantastic twist, however, if Quimir is the Apprentice, and the conduit between Mae and the Sith, his interaction with Sol when he was being interrogated about the poison would've had to have had revealed Sol's identity. Sol has an unmistakable voice. One I'm not sure could be easily altered. The plausibility box is checked, but the believability box is not. But, if they manage to create a voice altering box for the Sith, or some apparatus like that, then I'm all for this twist.

your videos about this show are refreshing because they are having fun analyzing and theorizing rather than focusing on the drama and politics surrounding this show and Headland. so thank you for that!

I do hope we will get answers to why Osha doesn't remember what happened. I don't remember seeing her getting injured and passing out, so her memory may have been wiped somehow.

Utidiiiiiii ❤😂🎉. And Happy Father's Day to all the Dad's out there ❣️

I am puzzled why everything seems to assume the helmeted figure is the Master, when previous helmeted figures were always at most the Apprentice. I don't think it's too obvious that Qimir could be the Sith Master, while the helmeted figure is the Sith Apprentice. Anyway, I do suspect Sol has done some sort of "memory wipe thing" or whatever it is Jedi do to Osha. But I think it would be more interesting if he earnestly did this entirely as a loyal member of the Jedi Order, rather than a secret Sith. We're supposed to see that the Jedi aren't so great, and it would be better for this to be seen in the form of an actual Jedi rather than a secret infiltrator or betrayer. I keep coming back to the idea that the Sith wants to destroy the Jedi dream. Well, how would the Jedi dream be destroyed by some outsider instigating evil things? That's just business as usual. But the Jedi were disturbed by the possibility a former Jedi had murdered their own. That was something that they needed to keep discrete. That was something that troubled them in a way no outside enemy could. So, I feel like Sol is culpable for some very bad things, but not as a secret infiltrator. He's a loyal Jedi Master. But the Jedi aren't all that.

This is what @starwarstheory used to be. Love your page-critical where it fits, open when it doesn’t, and focused on piecing together more. Thanks, Meg!!!

When I rewatched Ep 1 + 2 one thing that jumped out at me was Sol's odd behaviour. He aggressively inserts himself into the investigation, he's very quick to believe Osha, and doesn't put Osha in handcuffs to the great discomfort of the other Jedi. And there's something in his voice, I thought it was Lee Jung-jae's limited English, but now I think he's playing Sol as somehow who's wearing a "mask" and that flat wooden tone is the "mask", hiding his real intent. If we run with the Osha/Mae one person, then protecting the Sith assassin Mae, means protecting Osha. One option might be Sol is the Master, and the Apprentice (Ximir?) is trying to use Mae to kill him.

I really hope that there’s an end credits scene in the season finale where we get to see the Sith Lord behind the whole events

The Apprentice is Yord. That is why Osha is surprised to see him as a Jedi Knight. And Yord covers for Osha when Mae poisons the Jedi.

I’ve been saying Sol is the Sith Lord all along. I agree that something is off with him in his scenes. Also, the logo for the Acolyte has an eclipse in the “O” which everyone, including myself, assumed it represented the twins, but could it also represent that Sol is a dark side user? Sol means sun.

I love this kind of speculation. Very interesting theory; as was the MAE/Osha dual personalities theory. Will be fun to watch the rest of the series with these in the back of my mind.

Ep1 one of sol’s younglings senses a fire sweeping ready to consume everything and Sol brushes it under the rug pretty quickly; plus I think the Actor said sol’s fighting is rooted in fear (at least I could have sworn this was said somewhere) Edit: I still think it’s more likely Oscha has the alter ego killer (the Mae personality)

*Mae* *is* *really* *dead?* I do love the theory that Mae is really dead and Osha has taken in Mae’s personality. It’s true what Allen Xie said that we never saw older Mae and older Osha in the same frame. If they’re dyads, Mae’s spirit might have taken over Osha’s body and mind. Think *Moon* *Knight.* The younger Mae and Osha were portrayed by twins but were not identical while older Mae and Osha are portrayed by one person. Mae could really be dead. Osha has two personalities in her. Mae the Force be with you, Osha. “You're with me, I'm with you. *Always* *one,* but born as two.” Happy Dyad’s Day, everyone! 😂 The Acolyte Ep 1-3: C- (that’s forgiving) The Boys S4 Ep 1-3: B- (worst start for it) Time for House of the Dragon S2 to save the summer. We get Blood & Cheese in Ep 1 tonight and Battle at Rook’s Rest in Ep 4.

Mother coral is the sith. But she’s not the Sith master

I think it's possible, but a good mystery has multiple suspects so I'll keep on open mind for now.

Thanks Meg! May The Force Be With You...Always

Maybe space Trinity is the Stih Lord ! 😋 Because you can work better in the shadow when everybody think you are dead .

Chuck windig's aftermath novels have a gang of youths who worship the sith and collect sith items including masks which seem to possess the wearer They call themselves the acolytes of the shadows or something like that, and it seemed to be what was going on with Kylo Ren and Vader's helmet in episode 7, but went in a different direction in the films.

Interesting theory, but I don’t think it’s going to be that complex. The Sith Master is probably just Tenebrous or Plagueis, and they probably won’t show up at all unless there is a cameo at the end.

Darth Gaen was Tenebrous Master

Interesting theory. Here is what I think might be Darth Plagueis is the master and Qimir is the apprentice and of course Mae is the Acolyte. Mother Koril for some reason I suspect has some connection to the Sith and aided in the killing of her sisters (not sure how this fits in yet). On the other hand it could be Darth Tenebrous is the Sith Master and Sol is him in disguise and Qimir is the apprentice, BUT here is yet another theory I have. It's either Darth Darth Tenebrous or Darth Plagueis who is the Sith and Sol is the apprentice who is in disguise as a Jedi to help find Acolytes for the Sith. Oimir in this later theory is probably another Acolyte or someone who helps the Sith.

Sol has told a few lies: How did he know that Mae started the fire unless he was already there? He told Osha he tried to save Mae. Nope. He arrived after Mae had already fallen. How come Osha didn’t remember Mae started a fire when she woke up? Sol told Jecki that he met Osha when he was stationed on Brendack. Another lie. Brendack was an uninhabited planet. Why were the Jedi only interested in Osha, when Mae seemed more powerful? Who deleted the fact that Osha had a sister from her file? All of this seemed planned by a master mind.

I think it's possible that Leslie is also reflecting upon her own life as being two people and I'm not trying to sound insulting. I honestly am not if we're looking at dual personality or dual physical traits or dual Force users being light side and using darkseid and not realizing it... Parallels

There's something more here.. it's elusive but probably once we all see the rest of it well....

This theory rings true to me. That Sol doesn't let Qimir get mind interrogated by Yord and Sol doesn't do anything that way after Qimir confesses and pleads to be let go supports it. As does episode 4 when Qimir tells Mae how fond Osha seems to be towards Sol and seems to be evaluating or influencing her. Maybe helping her to kill Kelnacca without a weapon by having someone else do it like Smilo Ren (Qimir). Even if first unintentional by Mae she will still learn the lesson, just some more crazy thoughts to fuel the fire

The villain is always the biggest role saved for the biggest actor.

It's funny that I like the jedi that hasn't been in the movies or shows alot. Qui-jinn, Mace, Sol, Baylyn Skol

I think there are some other things to suggest that he is training Mae. He said that he wanted to save them both which seems like a regret that he is still carrying. He wanted to face her alone when allowing Osha to face her would have created enough of a distraction to capture her (but that would have made a short series...lol). Their fight seemed like a master and apprentice fight to me, he removed all of her weapons in their fight (her master insisted that she kill the Jedi without a weapon), he tried to determine who her master was which could also be a test to ensure that the Jedi would not be able to find out by reading her mind. Also he quickly went along with hiding the possibility that one of their trained (Osha) could be responsible for Indara's murder knowing that justice would be swift, this suggests that he could be at odds with the Jedi ways but is playing along and manipulating the outcomes.

Interesting theory, Meg! I'm getting the same vibes with The Acolyte. What we think is going on is wrong.

I just watched the episode 5 promo, and in it, it said, "They slaughtered my sisters," coming from the Sith, which makes me think it's mother Koril.

I think you're right. Because at the end of episode 3 he promises her that it would never happen again. Just how Anakin promised padme.

The big problem with the jedi philosophy trying to repress their fear instead of managing it.

I love the idea that Sol is the Sith Lord!! This show has a pretty rough start but the potential is great so I hope the show utilizes it well

In the last episode, I find out that the TREAD is one of the force knowledge. Thanks Dave. May the force be with U..

You’re spot on Meg!! Always are!!

If Sol were the Sith Master, then that would blow my mind. Sol knows more because how would he independently know that May started the fire? The Jedi have some flawed ideology; so I do not see Sol acting in accordance to his feelings and attachments as a bad thing.

Remember the Sol vs Mae fight where he used no weapon, then the line at the end of episode 1 "an acolyte fights without a weapon."??????? When you watch that fight again with this theory in mind it kinda looks very plausible

Awesome theory Meg….i don’t particularly love this series, but I don’t find it as bad as most people seem to. I’m waiting for episode 5 to blow everything apart, and reveal that we’ve been misled, or are just seeing part of the story (didn’t they say that episode 5 would be the most shocking or most crazy or most something?). I REALLY like your theory of this video, and Sol being the bad guy (i thought it was a little too obvious in episode one that the “good guy” would be named “Master Sol” (equating his name with the sun, or “light”, when in reality, he DARK!). I think your theory will end up addressing a lot of critics complaints about the story…but unfortunately, by that time, many of them will have stopped watching. Fingers crossed that you’re right Meg….nice thinking!

Much as I like Star Wars, I wouldn’t describe any of it as “well written”. So, every time anyone says this show is badly written, I’m like, “yeah, and …?” I mean, that’s not why we’re here is it?

Ive actually had this thought because I feel like Sol is very focused on emotions...as well as some of the things he said that were not in line w the jedi philosophy.

We may not know who the Sith Lord is from Season 1 of The Acolyte. One thing is for sure… it is NOT Sol. We may want to start looking for evidence it is VanEstra, Sol’s boss at the Jedi Temple. She seems to be using Sol for her own Sith needs.

Wasn't Mae granted the knowledge of the witches in the ceremony? So see might have seen/ remembered that time differently. Osha might have Deen fooled as she didn't finish the right of passage that night?

What if osha died, Sol saved Mae and the Jedi tried to wipe her mind and make her osha. And Mae personality is breaking through

they didn't start writing the show around the "who is the sith lord" plot line. they started with "lesbian relationship and screwing up anakin's origin story " and then built the rest of the show around that.

Very good theory. That Sol is the sith . In the end of EP 3. 3:40 . How can Sol know that Mae started the fire ? He tells Osha that is waking up that Mae killed everyone. How could he known all these details when he wasn't there to see it.

OSHA/MAE is under the helmet. I like the idea of Sol being the big Sith reveal: It explains away a lot of the timeline issues.

Appreciate you for making actual theory videos about new star wars content, unlike other "theory" youtubers

going with this theory... if it is Master Sol, and he finds this Virgance in the force, he may be looking to use it the way palpatine used it... almost like this is how the sith are trying to win, and they are doing this, like the rule of two, until they perfect it, which they think they did in the original trilogy era.

Thanks Meg! 🙏

I can already see people using the cap as rage fuel lol

Does anyone really believe the creative team can execute any quality ideas at this point? There may be a "Suprise" reveal, but will it be so full of logic holes that it is just gratuitous and not gratifying?

I think it’s the bald Mirialan. And I don’t think Sol trained Osha, I think he trained Mae, they made the switcharoo at the chasm, and Mae went along with it because, well, what choice did she have?

People seem to be missing an interpretation of Mae's order of "kill a jedi, without a weapon". It all depends on where you put the stress. My interpretation of it is kill an UNARMED jedi. The true villain is likely to be Master Venestra

I do think it's possible Osha had run into Sol in the forest before.

So hear me out and bear with my long comment… I have the feeling that it’s osha that has the alter ego as Mae. Or… the ghost of Mae tends to take possession of oshas body. I think the reoccurring hallucination of Mae leading OSHA into certain scenarios has been an ongoing thing. She’s been haunted by Mae who gets her to follow her and takes control over her to do her biddings. There’s a reason why the twins were not identical as small children. That was deliberate because they actually were NOT identical twins. If Mae were actually alive she’d be portrayed my a different actress with similar physical attributes as Amandla. Idk if someone is responsible for that wether it’s a Sith Lord creating these hauntings with OSHA, it could be sol,But I don’t see a reason. It could be mother koral seeking revenge on the 4 Jedi But my guess is that torbin has a role to play in it. His involvement in this incident caused him to take precaution to hide his involvement and possibly the identity of the sith, so he takes the baresh vow to maintain secrecy. When Mae visits him it was a sign for him that the plot is starting to unravel and his cue to take his life. He’s been in possession of the bunta since his time in brendok. I’m betting that The scene where Mae gives it to him didn’t actually happen but took place in his mind. He may have been backed into a situation where that was the only way to protect his fellow Jedi. So he took his own vile of bunta. I’m almost certain he had something to do with it because there’s a scene in the trailer which shows telnaca doing a jump attack on torbin with his saber. And at the end of ep 2 with telnaca not wearing Jedi garments suggests that he’s in exile. Along with indara calling for OSHAs training to be discontinued. I think torbin may have manipulated all this to happen. I think master sol might know about osha either being manipulated, possessed or having an alter ego and he’s going along with it to unravel the mystery. Definitely some dark force magic going on. But one things for sure, we haven’t seen the end of mother karal. We never saw her in the pile of dead bodies. Maybe she’s a Sith Lord who either infiltrated the coven or she aligned with the Sith and betrayed the coven. Karal seemed hard on osha so I’m guessing that she might be the sith and wants to unlock oshas potential and her attachment to mother aniseya was holding her back and her wanting to leave the coven were used to as a a motive to get to that point. So she destroyed the coven, causing osha to join the Jedi to lay the foundation for tapping into the force then acquire her as an apprentice. I think qimir is the acolyte and OSHA is being set up to be the apprentice and the black figure is the sith which could be mother karal. That is my definitive theory.

There will be no Sith in it. The Jedi are "evil" in this.

This was my theory as well! I think the “hunting the 4 jedi” thing is more than Mae’s revenge, I think its Sol orchestrating the elimination of the three jedi who know the truth about what happened to the witches. Killing witnesses. He only targets himself-including himself in the 4 hunted jedi- as a decoy.

It would be nice that the next couple of episodes be the POV of all the players

When i was watching i thought straight away that there was something a bit off with Sol just appearing like that when the fire happened. It had only been burning for 10-20 mins maximum - the length of time it would’ve taken Osha to escape and run down a tunnel (which weirdly led her to the one place in a massive hollowed out mountain-castle where May was standing but that’s another of many dumb things) - and there he was. How? Why?

If we actually hear the words. "No, I am your mother " I'm not going to believe it or maybe I should believe it. It's Disney Star Wars

I might be completely alone on this boat but I personally had no issue with ep 3 of the acolyte, I don’t think it cahnged or recton s anything we know about the force, these witches just have a different view in the force than the Jedi, no different to the Zeffo from fallen order who saw it as the life wind. Mae and Osha were created by mother Anaseya using the force to manipulate the michlorians, unlike Anakin who was created Purely by the Force.

It is an interesting theory, however i don't think we can draw any conclusions from what we have learned so far, because the writing is so bad that where you see a clever potential plot device, might just turn out to be something Lesley didn't even give it a second thought We just cant play "what if this means this" because the writing is bad enough to allow for too many wrong conclusions In interviews she has more or less said outright that she was "faking it until she makes it", and that she "had no idea what i was really doing" She said this was how she got through the interview, and then how she set about trying to decide what to actually write about Is Master Venstra hiding something? Or is that just bad acting that happens when you are not hired for your talent, but because you're married to the writer?

Why choose OSHA as a Sith apprentice? When Sol had so many impressionable young ones under him at the temple?

It would make sense and a cover up by the Jedi would easily explain away with a cover up as to why in the prequels it is stated that the sith hadn't been seen in a thousand years as they would be ashamed to acknowledge one of their own, a respected one at that, had turned to the darkside. Hence a grand cover up with only a small handful in the time of the prequalls would have been around for it

Why not Indara being the Sith lord? She dies too easy, just at the beginning of the show. And mother Coral being her apprentice

Great theory Meg. It reminds me of the film Angel Heart. Much to be revealed there is!

David Harewood who was cast in an undisclosed role is the Sith Master😊

I assumed from the frist episode that the Sith was the acolyte's master, NOT the master of the Sith apprentice. This is something people are just now figuring out? I thought it was obvious. I thought we all knew that an acolyte is the apprentice of the apprentice of the Sith master. What show was everybody watching that I wasn't? SMH

I don't believe Sol is a closet sith.. It's possible, but I believe highly unlikely. What about Venestra Rwoh? The parallels between her and Palpatine are there. A bureaucrat, manipulating the system, while secretly a sith. Increasing the dogma within the order, setting it up for some sith further down the line (eventually Palpatine) to destroy it. Her apprentice is Plageus.

Sister Corolla is my bet she can possess the jedi with the force and you don't see her killed

Hi Meg, awesome news update, I am just gonna wait and see who the sith is and I love your videos thank you SWM

I like the theory but I think the negative attention on it has done too much damage and it wouldn't matter who was introduced as the sith.

Thanks for the review. Leslye Headland seems to be doing a mystery box approach to the Acolyte. I personally don't buy the idea of Sol being a Sith Lord. The Jedi appear to be negligent rather than villainous.

Sol would not be on the kill list if he was the main baddie

There are some great ideas here. This is why the show is good for me. These questions and possible paths the story could take are exciting and fun to think about.

witches leave - Red foreman

If sol was a sith wouldn't his lightsaber bleed red?

Surely Master Yoda senses something.

Thanks Meg 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🌹

“Today’s Star Wars Theory” indeed

Sol as the Sith Lord was my gut feeling from the get-go. It'd be way dark if it's true.

I’m thinking there is some twist. I don’t know or have a theory, but what we have now is basic and disappointing. I’m only watching for something more like some of the theories out there. There has to be more to this show. I think the sisters are in reverse. Mae is the good and Osha the evil one.

I think the twins got it wrong from their differing and self serving points of view. Sol knows what actually happened even if he wasn't directly responsible. He was complicit with the conspiracy.

Vernestra is in this show for a reason she’s either the Sith Lord above quimir or she does to quimir

If Sol is the Sith (and it would be cool if he was), then the strategy of infiltrating the Republic and masking his dark side echo is one, he would pass down the line to his eventual apprentice and further on all the way to Palpatine. Which would vibe with Maul saying that they finally will reveal themselves to the Jedi. Which MIGHT mean, that Sol was never found out. Imagine that.

A very interesting and juicy theory you present here.

Well then, let's all continue watching with an open mind and stop the obsessed SW prequel hate .... I'm into your theory. I still think the Witchers are not of this Galaxy and crashed here like a banished Thrawn, but that's another story. Good stuff Meg 👏🏼 Will continue watching

The let a kid play with the lightsaber moment was really weird so maybe. The show does a good job disorienting the audience. Probably too good of a job based on the bad reviews. I kinda wish they had first done a straight forward High Republic jedi show with just hints of the sith and then did The Acolyte as a cool second High Republic show.
