But it surely feels extra probably that this can be a new character we haven’t truly met but, a forefather of Palpatine’s plan to destroy the Jedi as soon as and for all. What’s necessary is that that is the primary Sith the Jedi of this period have ever encountered, as evidenced by Grasp Sol (Lee Jung-jae) asking the crimson lightsaber-wielding villain, “What are you?”
As we all know from the Excessive Republic period books and comics, the Jedi have been having fun with a little bit of a golden age at this level within the timeline. The Sith have been regarded as all however extinct after millennia of battle, though we all know that’s something however true. The villains simply spent centuries in hiding, quietly planning and manipulating occasions from the shadows, ready for the best second to strike in opposition to the Jedi and the Republic, which they ultimately did within the Prequel Trilogy. In the meantime, the Jedi Order let their guard down in opposition to their best enemy, which is why assembly a Sith lord who can single-handedly tackle a complete group of Jedi Knights, together with a number of masters, is a little bit of a shock for Sol and firm.
There are such a lot of inquiries to be answered about this Sith lord, however right here’s a key one: is that this thriller Sith the grasp or the apprentice? Both method, Sol needs to be very, very fearful.
Grasp Sol and Mae’s Connection
Whereas there’s been a lot of hypothesis surrounding the present’s central character, a former-Jedi-padawn-turned-rogue-warrior named Mae, it’s nonetheless unclear whether or not she’s the Sith acolyte of the title. Both method, the trailer makes it clear that she not has any love for the Jedi, as she tries to kill a number of together with her dagger, together with her former grasp, Sol. In different phrases, it seems to be loads like Mae is behind the crimes Sol and the opposite Jedi are investigating. Sol even says within the trailer that he needs to be the one to carry her in as he skilled her within the methods of the Power.
What led to Mae turning in opposition to the Jedi—and maybe even becoming a member of the Sith (we’re speculating right here)—continues to be not clear, though a shot of what seems to be like Mae working by means of burning woods as Stenberg’s voiceover says to a sufferer that “it’s time to face the previous” appears to have one thing to do with it.
