Presumably, we would have seen more Yoda, too.
What was Darth Plagueiss plan?
But what was that plan?
What happened between Qimir and Master Vernestra?
The finale makes clear that Qimir and Jedi Master Vernestra Rwoh have a history.
Perhaps we would have seen all that backstory as a new set of flashbacks in season 2?
What is the Strangers Sith name?
Fans speculated for weeks about this detail, even looking back to the old Legends continuity for clues.
Is The Stranger actually Darth Tenebrous?
Or is he Darth Venamis?
What happened to Mother Koril?
Did Mother Koril survive the chaos on Brendok?
The last time we saw her was right before Kelnacca became possessed.
Her corporeal form vanished into black wispy smoke, not to be seen again on the show.
But without a second season, well never learn whether we were right about Mother Koril or not.
With its final shot,The Acolyteteased that Yoda would be at least tangentially involved in season 2.
In the shows final scene, Master Vern enters Yodas chamber for guidance.
But before we can hear what wisdom Yoda imparts to the Jedi Master, the screen cuts to black.
Presumably, season 2 would have explored this scene further.
What Yodas role might have been beyond that is unclear.
What did the next part of Mae and Oshas stories look like?
The Acolyteends with Mae and Osha effectively switching places (but not identities this time).
Maes memories have been wiped of Qimirs existence and the knowledge of Oshas survival.
Her last memory is of the compound on Brendok burning.
In the final scenes of the finale, Mae is taken into custody by Vernestra and brought to Coruscant.
That would become complicated for two people who consider themselves equal.
We may have also seen whether or not her relationship with Qimir progressed in a more romantic direction.
Take that as you will.
Maes journey forward is less clear by the end of the series.
What the heck is up with the vergence on Brendok?
Perhaps Plagueis would have paid the planet a visit with Osha at some point in season 2?
Or would the Jedi have sent more knights to investigate Brendok further?
How this would have all played out will unfortunately remain a mystery.
What we do know is that Headland had a lot planned out for the shows future.
you’re free to tell I love these characters.
