THE ACOLYTE Episode 7 Features One Ominous Line Foreshadowing Anakin Skywalker's Evil Deeds

For the most part, I’m not impressed by the writing in The Acolyte, but I am listening when I watch it, and there was a line of dialogue in episode 7 that stuck out to me.

This dialogue teased what would happen hundreds of years later in the Star Wars universe. It foreshadows Anakin Skywalker’s journey and the evil deeds that he would do.

There’s a scene in the episode where Sol goes to the coven to take Osha away for Jedi training, and when he shows up Mother Aniseya and the rest of the witches are there to meet him.

At this moment, Mother Aniseya warns Sol, saying: "Someday, those noble intentions you all have will destroy every Jedi in the galaxy.”

This ominous line actually comes to pass. Around a 100 years later, Qui-Gon Jinn finds himself on Tatooine where he meets young Anakin Skywalker.

Qui-Gon Jinn has nothing but noble intentions to take Anakin and train him to be a Jedi. This act started a chain of events that led to the fall of the Jedi Order with the Jedi being exterminated, and the rise of the Empire and the dark side. 

When Sol attempts to take Osha as his Padawan a fight breaks out, and Sol ends up killing Aniseya, while the witches either die or are knocked unconscious by Indara breaking their mental control over Kelnacca. 

There was also a pretty cool lightsaber battle in this episode with the Wookie Jedi, Kelnacca.
