In the ever-expanding universe of Star Wars, The Acolyte has captivated audiences with its complex plotlines and characters. Among these, Master Sol stands out as a particularly mysterious figure. As the series unfolds, fans are left pondering one pressing question: What is Master Sol’s dark secret? In this article, we will explore more about Master Sol’s potential darkness.
What is Master Sol’s dark secret in Star Wars: The Acolyte?
In The Acolyte, Lee Jung-jae’s Master Sol is a respected Jedi known for his strength in the Force and his role in training younglings. However, Sol’s tragic past intertwines with Mae’s quest for revenge. This hints at a darker side to Master Sol’s character.
Episode 5, which premiered on June 25 on Disney Plus, suggests that Master Sol may be hiding a significant dark secret. Although it is not revealed what exactly the secret is, there’s speculation that it could be related to Brendok and the mysterious fire that occurred on the planet 16 years ago.
During a confrontation with the Sith villain Qimir, Sol’s emotional response to the taunt, “I’ve accepted my darkness, what have you done with yours?” marks a pivotal moment. This moment, along with Sol’s evasiveness regarding the fire on Brendok and the separation of the twins Mae and Osha, implies that Sol is concealing a significant secret related to these events.
Whether it was about killing Aniseya and the other witches, or purposely leaving Mae behind on Brendok, or something else remains to be seen.
Did Master Sol kill Mae and Osha’s mother, Aniseya?
As of episode 5, The Acolyte shows that Mae and Osha’s mother, Aniseya, was killed in the fire started by Mae, which also took down the entire coven. Therefore, up to this point, it has not been confirmed that Master Sol was responsible for Aniseya’s death.

While fans see Mae ignite the fire, it’s possible that Sol and his Jedi companions were involved in the events that drove her to set their home ablaze. Fan speculation also suggests that Sol might have killed the girls’ mother, Aniseya, during the blaze to be able to take them off Brendok.
Alternatively, the fire might not have been the actual cause of the clan’s demise. Instead, the Jedi could have used it as a cover to eliminate Mae and Osha’s entire community. This theory gains traction considering Mae’s vendetta against the Jedi.
Fans can uncover the answers to these questions as The Acolyte continues to unfold in the coming weeks.
