The Acolyte's latest episode gave us our first live-action look at one of the most fascinating Star Wars materials from the Expanded Universe: cortosis.
With a swing of a wrist gauntlet, and the head-butt of a sinister helmet, The Acolyte’s mysterious dark Stranger carved a path into Star Wars history this week with a single, shocking move: strikes that sent the laser blades of his Jedi foes sputtering out of existence. But while we’ve seen lightsaber-resistant material in Star Wars plenty already, what could cause this strange effect? An infamous material from the Expanded Universe.
While The Acolyte provided our first on-screen look at cortosis in action, it also seemingly introduced a property it’s never had before. While dueling Jedi Master Sol, the Stranger implies that his cortosis mask also inhibits telepathy somehow, telling the Jedi that he refuses to take his mask off so Sol can’t read his thoughts. Whether that’s grandstanding on the Stranger’s part or an actual new property of cortosis itself, however, remains to be seen.
