The Acolyte has burst onto Disney Plus, delivering a whirlwind of intrigue and action that has left viewers captivated. Leslye Headland’s creation weaves a complex web of storytelling elements, blending sci-fi combat, intense intrigue, and a rich foundation of High Republic lore centered on themes of vengeance, family, and corruption.
Among the many compelling characters driving The Acolyte forward, none has made a more significant impact than Master Torbin, portrayed by Dean-Charles Chapman of Game of Thrones fame. Torbin, a Jedi Master, had spent a decade in deep meditation shielded by a powerful Force field—an obstacle for Mae, who seeks Torbin as part of her vendetta.
Mae’s initial attempts to confront Torbin with force were unsuccessful, prompting her to adopt a more persuasive approach with a vial of poison and compelling arguments. In their final encounter, Torbin reveals unsettling truths about his mission on Brendok, Mae’s home planet, where he served alongside Jedi Sol, Indara, and Kelnacca. The implications of this mission unfold as the series delves deeper into its narrative.
With each episode of The Acolyte streaming weekly on Disney Plus, fans are eagerly anticipating how the revelations surrounding Torbin and Mae’s intertwined fates will shape the remainder of this ambitious series.
