The season finale of Star Wars: The Acolyte has once again heralded the arrival of the Chosen One, Anakin Skywalker.
This is the second reference made in the series. The first occurred in episode 7, when Mother Aniseya warns Sol, saying, “One day, those noble intentions you all have will destroy every Jedi in the galaxy.”
In this final episode, the warning comes from Senator Rayencourt when she confronts Vernestra about her claim that the Jedi Order controls their emotions.
Rayencourt tells her, “You project an image of kindness and moderation, but it’s only a matter of time before one of you snaps. And when – not if – that happens, who will be strong enough to stop it?”
This is more or less what we see happen to Anakin, who was not very good at managing his emotions according to Jedi tradition. He lost his mind and dove headlong into the dark side, thus becoming Darth Vader.
No matter how much Obi-Wan Kenobi tried to keep Anakin at bay, nothing worked and once he was overwhelmed by the dark side of the Force, nothing could stop him until his son, Luke Skywalker, came into play and through a series of events helped Vader redeem himself.
