Warning: spoilers ahead for The Acolyte episode 8 finale. The season finale of Star Wars series The Acolyte has left fans of the franchise reeling – especially over two extremely exciting cameos. In episode 8 of the Disney Plus show, sisters Osha and Mae (both played by Amandla Sternberg ) have life-changing decisions to make as they flit between the Jedi and the dark side of the Force.
Jedi Master Sol ( Lee Jung-jae ) finally reveals that Osha and Mae aren’t twins, but are actually the same person...
shortly before he’s Force-choked to death by Osha for killing their mother when she and Mae were children. At the beginning of the episode, when Osha and Sith Lord Qimir ( Manny Jacinto ) set off on a mission to find Mae and Sol, it’s revealed that they’re being watched in the shadows by a legendary Star Wars character called Darth Plagueis. Then at the very end of the instalment, viewers are treated to a short glimpse of none other than Jedi Master Yoda , who made his last live-action appearance in the 2017 film The Last Jedi as a Force ghost.
While Yoda has also shown up in animated form – such as in the 2008 film Star Wars: The Clone Wars and in Star Wars Forces of Destiny – seeing him in live-action again in a blink-and-you-miss-it moment has thrilled viewers. ‘If seeing Master Yoda isn’t enough reason why The Acolyte should get a second season I don’t know what the hell is,’ Bella wrote on X. ‘The Acolyte Finale was great! We finally got to see Darth.
