The Acolyte

This in my eyes is another banger. What would you prefer? Do have an evil twin or to have split personality where one part of you has a crime filled life while the other is gentle and noble. This is the story at the heart of this installment that has made me particularly intetested in the star wars. There are hints back and forth of terms and expressions that draw me in msking me want to learn more. The series makes you want to know a lot more about some of the older characters weaving an intinate tapestry which causes you to thirst for a lot more. 

We begin with a story of two young grils who are split up after an invasion of their previously hidden existance. They havwgrown up under secretive circumstances nursed and nurtured by a mystery mother who leads a cult of other practitioners of the magic arts-witches really! 

Their origin is just as mysterious which is why the Jedi feel like they must be stopped. The confrontation between Jediandthis cult results in chaos that drives a wedge between the sisters and forces one to seek revenge. We meet them at later stage in life where one is hell bent on vengence while the other just wants to be more than she is and reclaim the glory of days long gone. 

The story thus revolves around these two trying to make sense of each other’s grievances and heal while embracing the darkness and light that is before them and a future that seems to be causing them to further come into conflict. 

Amandla Sendberg does an amazing job in the show. You can tell she was destined for great things after her performance as the young Colombina a young daughter of a Colombina drug enforcer who dies but before he does manages to pass on some intek to his daughter sendibg her to the US with this info to save her life. 

Amandla also makes an appearance in The Things Hate U give. THUG which is a play on a set of words or letters that are dominant in poor neighborhoods. My most telling scene in acolyte comes from a rescue or confrontation between the powers of darkenss and those of light when the Jedi have an encounter with the witches. One of the Jedi less protected finds himself attacked by one of the witches as the others are chanting. The curse is broken and those who are fighting against the weaker Jedi also end up dying after which tragedy strikes. So much to glean from this one situation.
