SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary The Acolyte episode 3 was one of the most mysterious entries in the Star Wars show so far, but a new piece of artwork may have begun to unravel it. Viewers were left with multiple unanswered questions after The Acolyte episode 3, which was a flashback of Mae and Osha's childhood on Brendok.
The artwork features many of the most important parts of The Acolyte episode 3, from the fire to Mae and Osha, but it also includes some interesting aspects that weren't present in the episode itself. In the background of the artwork, both The Acolyte's mysterious Sith Lord and the Jedi were standing on opposite sides of the Bunta tree on Brendok.
The New Acolyte Image May Answer So Many Questions From Episode 3 Close It's possible that this image is just an artistic representation of The Acolyte episode 3, and that the Sith Lord was only included to illustrate the duality between Mae and Osha. However, there's some evidence suggesting this is a legitimate hint of what's to come in the show.
There are also a few clues within the artwork itself that the Sith Lord had a hand in Brendok's fire. The smoke and flames in the image are coming from behind them, which is a visual cue that the two are related. Additionally, everything in the image centers around the Bunta tree, which is where Mae got the poison she used to kill Torbin in The Acolyte episode 2. That could be a hint that poison is more important to Mae than just as a weapon.
