In my review of the first episode. I said this was Star Wars as a mystery.
In the end there was no mystery here, apart from how this rubbish was ever greenlit.
As I may have mentioned before. I'm not really a Star Wars fan, more of a Trekkie. So I never view it as a fanboy, especially the toxic kind that froths like a mad bovine on YouTube.
The finale is an incoherent mess and I dread to think there could be a second season of this garbage.
Sol is a rubbish Jedi, it's like he passed as a Jedi master because someone felt sorry for him. He gets the basics wrong and that means explaining to Osha and Mae how their mother really died.
The Acolyte has no good guys. Osha and Mae have effectively gone over to the dark side. The Jedi are also lying, deceitful monsters. No wonder Senator Rayencourt has their number.

Bad acting, bad directing, bad writing, and bad production are what define this series. So its not a surprised this episode is the same. Situations occur, as it did with the episode before, that were suppose to be shocking, but they weren't. Its not shocking because you know they were going to happen, and they were written poorly and occur for no logical reason other than they wanted to write a shock or they wrote themselves into a corner. We already saw that the Jedi did nothing wrong, that there is no reason to cover up anything, and they were clearly defending themselves. But the writers continue to push this false and illogical narrative that they did. It's just lazy and bad writing. Just like how people constantly swing their motivations in changing directions for no real reason other than the shove the plot along. The writers are literally telling us, "Look, the Jedi are bad, that is the way it is and I can't think of why or how they are, just accept it. Stop criticizing me for my lack of skill in writing. You're the problem, not me." The show as a whole is just horrible. It's just plain garbage.
The season finale was above average for Acolyte's standard throughout it's 8 episodes. That's not a compliment though.. It's better than terrible but worse than good.
In terms of their "sith focused" show that was sold as "Frozen meets Kill Bill" - I didn't see anything remotely Sith, Frozen or Kill Bill..
The writing was bad. It seemed like the writers knew where they wanted to go, but had zero clue as to how to get there. From there the story was simplistic with no complexity. Empty on Star Wars lore, depth or mythology which I guess is why they added the twins? - To add some drama to this otherwise empty show.
The storytelling was even worse. With an estimated $180 million budget - it looked terrible. It sounded terrible. How does it sound terrible?! This is STAR WARS?! Or it should be.. Sound have been Star Wars' stronger side?!
Character design and development were bad. Almost every set looked feeble, small in scale and often fake. Every jedi looked generic and the acting was even worse; Except for Lee Jung-Jae, he did brilliantly.. Too bad his character wasn't written brilliantly.
"A good novel tells us the truth about its hero; but a bad novel tells us the truth about its author."
And this show tells us a lot of truths about it's writers..

- The plot, the themes and the dialogue are somewhat contradictory. They do not line up, which give the episode finale and series in general, this sense of being "all over the place".

Every character decision changes without sufficient reason.
. Series that doesn't understand the spirit of the story at all.
. Nothing new, None Logic, Silly character, Every character = Bad performance.
. .
The end of a simple lie unreasonable. Insulting both the characters and the audience.
. There's only the director who doesn't know about this universe.
Storytelling, investigating, using powers, thinking, just simple writing. On post-it paper Then take and paste them together. Without knowing how logical and lore the story written in the novel or real life. People are not stupid.
. .
End-credit (Cameo) look Stupid!!!

If you ask me, whoever created and wrote this episode and this show did not understand what Lucas' Jedi and Sith were and were about, let alone getting a grip of the Force.
There are some great actors in this who do their best with what they're given, but what they're given is not exactly good. I'm sorry for them. They'd deserve better, as they're obviously better. (The top names that come to mind are Carrie-Anne Moss, Lee Jung-jae and Manny Jacinto. David Harewood was also cool in this episode.)
Also, the fight scenes were quite good in general. It's a pity the story itself wasn't in such expert hands.
Maybe next time, right?

¿Sabías que…?
- TriviaFirst time in a series or film that the process of bleeding a kyber crystal is shown, the only other time the bleeding process has been seen on screen was when the fallen Jedi Dagan Gera's (who was from the High Republic era) rage and hatred corrupted his kyber crystal while he was dueling former Padawan Cal Kestis in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor (2023). The reason ligthsabers carried by the Sith and Dark Jedi are red is because the kyber crystal has been corrupted by the dark side of the Force, a dark side adept uses the Force to bend the crystal to their will, this process changes the color of the crystal to red. The canon comic book "Darth Vader" reveals that when a Sith Lord makes their first lightsaber they must kill a Jedi in combat and take the crystal from their lightsaber and bleed it to use as their own, which is why the Stranger tasked Mae to kill a Jedi without using a weapon. The canon novel "Ahsoka" (2016) also reveals that the light side of the Force can "heal" a red kyber crystal and remove the corruption, turning the crystal's color white. Which is why Ahsoka Tano's lightsabers in Star Wars Rebels (2014), The Mandalorian (2019) & Ahsoka (2023) have white blades, she took the kyber crystals from an Inquisitor's lightsaber after defeating him in a duel and healed them with the light side and used them in her newly constructed sabers.
- ErroresWhen Sol killed Mae and Osha's mother he did so because it appeared she was trying to absorb Mae's life force into hers, Mae could even be seen beginning to vanish. He thought she was killing Mae, yet he doesn't explain this to either of the sisters. He tells them he did it to protect them but without explaining what Mae's mother was doing, or at least what he thought she was doing, his claim of protecting them doesn't make as much sense.

Senator Rayencourt: You don't like me. You think my campaign for an external review of the Jedi is a personal vendetta.
Vernestra Rwoh: If you want my honest opinion, yes.
Senator Rayencourt: Good. Here's mine. I think the Jedi are a massive system of unchecked power, posing as a religion, a delusional cult that claims to control the uncontrollable.
Vernestra Rwoh: We don't control the Force.
Senator Rayencourt: Not the Force. Your emotions. You project an imagine of goodness and restraint, but it's only a matter of time before one of you snaps. And when, not 'if', that happens, who will be strong enough to stop him?
Vernestra Rwoh: That's certainly an opinion, and not one shared by the rest of the Senate.
Senator Rayencourt: The majority of my colleagues can't imagine a galaxy without the Jedi. And I can understand why. When you're looking up to heroes, you don't have to face what's right in front of you.
