The Acolyte: Day / Night (Season 1, Episodes 4–5)

Surprise! Just like Mae and Osha, we’ve got a two-for-one special this week: We’re recapping both “Day” and “Night” (The Acolyte S1, episodes 4–5).

We dive deep into the twisting forest of Khofar this week. Our discussion covers the secrets of the Sith-like Stranger, the hypocrisies of the Jedi, and the razor line between light and dark. 

We also recap these episodes’ spectacular saber fights and how they’re stylized—with far more finesse than flash and bang. And of course, we sing praises to our favorite Padawan, Jecki. Sadly, Bae Watch is looking more like Death Watch this week.
