Apparently, even Wookiees yes, Wookiees can be Jedi.

THE ACOLYTE

I dont mean it as an insult when I say that it gave offLand of the Lostvibes.

So it goes here.

Sid and Marty Krofft would be proud.

Theres more to this story than just a Wookiee-hunt.

Mae, meanwhile, confides in Qimir that shes losing confidence in her Masters plan.

How is she supposed to kill a Jedi without using a weapon?

And if she fails to complete her assignment, what becomes of her?

(I just owe him, he mumbles.)

So as they close in on Kelnaccas home, Mae sets a crude trap for Qimir a classicStar Warsrope-trap!

and announces her intention to surrender to the Wookiee.

When they do arrive, Kelnacca has already been assassinated.

His chest-wound, which looks like a slash from a lightsaber, is still smoking.

Presumably, this is Maes Master, taking matters into his (hers?

It could be Qimir, freed from the trap and all masked up.

Or Qimir couldve been the Master all along, manipulating Mae up close by pretending to be her friend.

Something to keep in mind, for sure.

Alas, the show has other plans.

Kelnacca barely appears in this episode.

(But what should its title be?

Happenstance, perchance?)
