A flashback episode set 16 years before everything we saw in the first two episodes of The Acolyte offers the beginnings of answers – and Elysia and John mine episode 3: “Destiny” for all possible hints of what happened that night, what we might see next, and lore worth knowing.
But first, fellow Lorehounds host David joins them for a soul-searching opening conversation on the nature of power, parenthood, the place of science in fantasy, and what it means to be a Jedi.
