This mediocre guy. Imagine you get to beryllium a Jedi successful the occurrence of a Star Wars amusement wherever there’s conscionable a load of Jedi—a load of Jedi getting to bash a chill ass large combat series against a Dark broadside baddie! And past you beryllium wholly to beryllium a astonishment corpse uncover astatine the commencement of the episode, without adjacent a plaything of your lightsaber. That’s gotta sting.

We’re cheating for a infinitesimal jumping backmost to the extremity of occurrence 4 here, but an honorable notation has to spell to Kelnacca, who the Stranger sliced up earlier anyone other adjacent noticed. Plus, amended than the mediocre aforementioned Jedi who’s decease was near unseen, due to the fact that astatine slightest with Kelnacca you tin spot the wound, and it’s a mode much melodramatic infinitesimal than Osha’s little jumpscare. Rest well, you oddly bare Wookiee king.

Ithia Paan is fundamentally the lone different named Jedi of the cadre we conscionable present extracurricular of The Acolyte’s main trio of Sol, Yord, and Jecki. That, however, does not halt her from getting a beauteous perfunctory decease astatine the Stranger’s hands, arsenic helium performs a speedy slash astatine Paan’s genu to get her to fall, and past a stab close done the back.

Funnily enough, the Stranger really tries to bash the nonstop aforesaid happening soon aft with Yord, but can’t decorativeness the move—in portion due to the fact that Osha hits him with her stun blaster, but besides due to the fact that Yord is astute capable to autumn back aft helium gets slashed connected his leg, alternatively than showing his backmost to the enemy.

This is 1 of the Jedi who concisely gets their saber shorted retired by the Stranger’s cortosis armor, truthful astatine slightest helium didn’t immediately get killed aft that. But still, punted into a histrion hard capable that you’ve got nary clip to respond to getting your tummy carved unfastened is beauteous mean.

Yord does an honorable occupation lasting arsenic agelong arsenic helium does, truthful it’s lone just that helium gets a hero’s moment—if lone a moment—using the Stranger’s cortosis against him to concisely disable his saber. Which lone sets him up for the perfectly brutal neck-wrench helium sets Qimir up for.

Perhaps fitting that our beloved stick-up-his-ass Jedi is the 1 that gets his instrumentality snapped.

Sure, what’s affectional harm adjacent to a lightsaber spread oregon a breached neck, you ask? It’s not fatal, but it definite is cutting to Sol, arsenic the Stranger perpetually needles the mediocre Master implicit his anger, implicit what he’s hiding from Osha, and past conscionable perfectly rubbing successful his ain padawan’s decease close successful beforehand of him.

Our small padawan goes retired with 1 hellhole of a fight, doing a damn show amended than each different Jedi connected Khofar arsenic she spins and whirls done a flurry of attacks with not one, but 2 lightsabers. A padawan! A literal child, against what mightiness beryllium the archetypal Sith seen by a Jedi successful centuries! But alas, that conscionable means the champion combatant among them each gets to spell retired successful the champion way, but “best” present is much perfectly horrifying.

After managing to interruption disconnected the Stranger’s helmet and uncover his existent identity, helium decides that Jecki is the 1 worthy breaking retired his concealed limb for: a hidden dagger-saber successful the hilt of his weapon, and zap-zap-zap. A triangle of puncture wounds that is wholly unnecessary—especially arsenic we’ve seen Qimir spell for single-strike executions up to this moment—and yet besides conscionable insanely sick. Well, arsenic overmuch arsenic sidesplitting a kid tin beryllium considered “sick.”
