    They could also recontextualize that some Jedi knew the sith were still active and chose to cover it up, similar to the discovery the Jedi council made during the Clone War that Darth Sidious orchestrated the entire war, and they chose to keep it a secret and continue fighting.

    David Harewood, who played the Martian Manhunter in CW's various Arrowverse series, is rumored to be in "The Acolyte" in a "small but pivotal role". What if he shows up in the last episode or two as a Sith Lord? The hand in the trailer looked brown to me, and Mr. Harewood is a Canadian of African descent. He also has a deep, resonant voice that would be perfect for a Sith Lord. He may very well be a "spare" apprentice employed by Tenebrous while he gets the teenager, Plagueis, up to speed.

    While it's true that Ki-Adi-Mundi said the Sith have been extinct for a Millenium, they also seemed very sure about the Rule of Two at the end of the film. Wasn't the purpose of the Rule of Two to help hide their presence from the Jedi? Or am I just making that up 🤔...? If so, the Jedi's knowledge of the Rule would surely suggest that, at least some of them, were aware of their presence 🤷‍♂.

    Now… how long does it take timewise for someone to become a ‘legend’? If this is only about 100 years before the prequels I’m guessing it’s not Darth Plagueis. And since the series is called THE acolyte, I venture to presume it’s singular… because otherwise, the Jedi would have known the Sith were still around. The lightsaber is red… the rule of two… so my guess is, it’s about a Sith apprentice being too eager to change the status quo.

    The problem is the sith has been in hiding, so much they had not been seen in a 1000 years. So if this is set 100 years before Phantom Menace (or approx 130ish years BBY), this can only be Darth Tenebrous, and will literally have to kill everyone so there is no evidence that they were seen. Plagueis would be too young. Darth Ramage.....maybe... (who I believe died around the time Acolyte is set).
    Or could this be a dark jedi which is probably unlikely considering the lightsaber was definitely looking like a sith red lightsaber from the trailer. Pretty confusing how to how this is going to be canon.
    Another theory is a rogue sith who Tenebrous and Ramage wouldnt know about, but this would also be unlikely.
    Another issue is by this time Sith had not been seen for 900ish years, are you telling me that not one single Jedi thought to have informed the Jedi Council of this sighting by making a quick call? Considering by the time of Phantom Menace they had not been seen for 1000 yrs.

    All the theories that it's not a Sith are predicated on the assumption the show will bother to maintain continuity with a relatively minor plot point from a 25 year-old movie. Occam's razor says it's a Sith because Disney says so don't ask questions.

  • @Necroscat

    The Jedi were the one's that created the Sith!!!!!!!!! The first Sith Lords were just Jedi that went rouge because they asked too many questions, & The High Council told them to shut-up!
    The Sith wanted to help people at first & using the Dark Side didn't mean you were evil right away! Look at Darth Revan. He was a Jedi that tried to get to The Jedi High Council to help out in The Mandalorians Wars, but the planets in need weren't part of the Republic so they didn't want to help. He turned to the Dark Side & became a Sith Lord & basically took half the Jedi with him to help. He was strong enough to resist the Dark Side & saved everyone, but was ultimately betrayed by his friend Alek (aka Darth Malek)

      Impossible, Palpatine wasn't born at the time of the Acolyte. The show is like 132BBY before Phantom Menace. This is a hundred year before that starts. Look at the Phantom Menace, he's not that old, that's a big gap from 32BBY to 132BBY because he would've looked old and decrepit which *MAKES NO SENSE TO WHAT YOU SAID.* He's not talking about alternative timelines, he's talking about a part of the timeline you're referring, he never said anything being changed.

    I won't watch this. This trend among modern feminists where they imbue every show or movie with misandry, which has become a problem for fantasy and sci-fi fans like me. What's worse is that if we comment on it, we're often called misogynists. This needs to stop.
    It's also extremely hypocritical and devious of them. They've become the very thing they hated in men. Stories used to have great women and men as characters, but now we see an all-woman casting and a repeating theme of demeaning men. True equality would equally represent both males and females, not just one or the other. This is creating more cultural problems than it's solving.
    As a published author, I think Hollywood needs to stop lazily shoving their hypocritical political beliefs into their productions. It breaks the immersion and creates more division and culture wars. Good writers with skill and care can create uplifting stories that have great plots, world-building, and character development. This is just fan fiction with surface-level writing that uses virtue signaling to attack anyone who critiques it.
