Vernestra and Sol in The Acolyte
The Big Picture Although the Star Wars franchise has had some wild fluctuations in quality within the last few years, the overwhelmingly positive response to the first few episodes of The Acolyte has indicated that the universe has a future. The Acolyte is a distinct entry in the saga for many reasons; it’s set over a century before the events of Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace, and features no oblique references to the Skywalker family.
Star Wars: The Clone Wars TV-PGAnimation Sci-FiActionAdventure Jedi Knights lead the Grand Army of the Republic against the droid army of the Separatists. In “Senate Murders,” Padme and her group of allies attempt to solve the murder of a fellow Senator who is poisoned after the passing of a critical vote. In the previous season, the Roadian senator Onaconda Farr had briefly considered forming an allegiance with Nute Gunray and the Trade Federation but ultimately decided to swear loyalty to the Galactic Republic and represent his people in the Senate.
As with any classic murder mystery,“Senate Murders” was exciting because of why Farr was killed, and not just who. Although she initially suspects that Farr’s political rivals may have wanted to dilute his influence in the Senate, Padme realizes that he was poisoned by Lolo Purs, a fellow Rodian Senator. Lolo was convinced that Farr was too “weak” to properly defend their planet during a galactic crisis, and killed him in order to amass political power.
