We’ve finally arrived, dear readers, the end of The Acolyte — a confusing one, to be sure, but at least our watch is over. I’m not sure what I just saw; suffice it to say that, just when I thought the show couldn’t get any dumber, The Acolyte Episode 8 more or less hammers the final nail into the coffin of this utterly insane Star Wars series.

Anyway, let’s get to the final episode. There’s little to summarize, because like so many chapters in this unnecessarily long-winded series, nothing happens during the painfully slow 40-minute running time. Characters move from one place to another, like lines, and occasionally hit each other with shiny sticks. When I think of The Acolyte Episode 8, I want to curl up in a ball and sleep for the next two decades.

The Acolyte Episode 8 opens with Osha, wrapped in Qimir’s metal hood. She senses her sister, Mae, murdering Sol and decides to try to stop her. Qimir, suddenly an ally despite having murdered a group of Jedi the day before, goes along.

Meanwhile, Sol tells Mae exactly what she already knew: that he accidentally killed her mother while transforming her into a demonic vampire. Mae has no sympathy for this foolish man. She breaks her bonds and escapes! Damn, just when Sol was about to tell her something important.
