But it was pretty clear by the end of that episode that we still hadnt heard the whole story.
Also: Most episodes ofThe Acolyteare titled with two opposing words, while episode three is just called Destiny.
A few weeks ago, I half-jokingly suggested that the companion episode to Destiny might be called Happenstance.
Honestly, that wouldnt have been a bad title.
What do they see?
In short: a series of mistakes and misjudgments.
The JediandAniseyas order of Force Witches end up making an awful mess.
To put it inStar Warsspeak:Poodoohappens.
The title Choice is apt too, because none of those blunders are accidents necessarily.
Sol just wont let Indara handle this situation alone, by the book.
He fervently believes he has to rescue this kid.
This, folks, is some Dark Side stuff.
Koril sets Mae on a path of rage, which ultimately leads to the covens destruction.
A later lightsaber battle which Ill return to in a moment is properly kinetic.
But a few issues hold this episode back.
Koril then dissipates while the coven possesses Kelnacca, manipulating the Wookiee into attacking his fellow Jedi.

He echoes a cover story that Indara comes up with and says, curtly, Mae started a fire.
Cue the closing credits.

But its easy to lose those disciples once they inevitably find out how hazy the truth actually is.
Force Ghosts
How responsible is Indara for everything terrible that goes down on Brendok?

Could she maybe have shut down Sols Osha crusade on her own?
