Oh man, things happened this week The Acolyte. We learn the identity of Mae’s mysterious Sith master. We saw the deaths of several important characters. We saw the beginning of a whole twin magical subplot. And we saw that the payoff of various clues and suggestions since the beginning of the season was worth it. We also get a whole new kind of defensive Force technology: a helmet that can protect your thoughts from a Jedi.
But did you know that there are similar devices in Star Wars comics before? It’s true. And it’s just one of the many Easter eggs, hidden secrets, and little details you may have missed in the latest episode of The Acolyte, “Night.” Why do lightsabers keep shorting out? What metal is the Sith’s helmet made of? We just saw the first live-action saber launch Star Wars history? For answers to all these questions and more, check out all the Easter eggs in the video below:
