There’s some proof to help the Plagueis idea, together with The Stranger’s use of cortosis, which the Sith Lord mined for his grasp Darth Tenebrous in Legends. Then there’s The Stranger’s base of operations on an ocean planet. In Legends, Plagueis mined cortosis on the ocean planet Bal’demnic, which can also be the place he finally killed Tenebrous. Are these connections extra than simply coincidence?
Not Darth Plagueis, But Darth Tenebrous?
While Plagueis is the most well-liked idea concerning The Stranger’s id, others suppose he’s really Darth Tenebrous, Plagueis’ grasp as established in each present canon and Legends continuity. Yes, Tenebrous was a Bith in Legends, however that’s not set in stone in canon, and if it hasn’t been established onscreen anyway, there’s nothing stopping the present from making Tenebrous a human Sith Lord.
Just like Plagueis, Tenebrous had a connection to cortosis and Bal’demnic in Legends. The fundamental cause some consider The Stranger is Tenebrous is due to the present’s place on the timeline. In Legends, Tenebrous was the reigning Sith grasp till 67 BBY (Before the Battle of Yavin), when Plagueis killed him. Since The Acolyte takes place in 132 BBY, Tenebrous would match this particular time interval, if the present decides to comply with what was established in Legends.
Mother Koril Is the Sith Master Pulling All the Strings
In the penultimate episode of the season, we discovered what actually occurred on the planet Brendok 16 years earlier than the beginning of the present. A sequence of very dangerous decisions led to the slaughter of a coven of witches. It’s revealed that Mother Aniseya died by Sol’s hand, whereas the remaining both perished within the hearth by chance began by Mae or have been killed by Master Indara by the Force.
But there’s one witch we by no means really watched die within the flashback episodes: Mother Koril, Osha and Mae’s different father or mother. While the sequence made a degree to point out the our bodies of witches littering the flooring of the bottom, Koril was not among the many victims. Instead, her whereabouts are presently unknown, main some to consider she would be the huge dangerous of the sequence, pulling the strings from the shadows because the Sith grasp whereas her apprentice, The Stranger, does the soiled work and recruits Osha and Mae to the Sith trigger.
Koril additionally occurs to be Zabrak, the identical race as Darth Maul. Surely that’s no accident?
