A Small Part of a Larger Plan

“I sense this is only a small part of a larger plan,” Vernestra Rwoh (Rebecca Henderson, and the only High Republic-era novel character we’ll be seeing in The Acolyte so far) tells, presumably, Master Sol, as we seemingly go back to that flashback with Mother Aniseya and her coven performing some kind of ritual.
Still in that flashback, we get something even more intriguing—one of the Jedi Sol is with (in previous footage we’ve seen the Wookiee Jedi Kelnacca, played by Chewbacca performer Joonas Suotamo, and Master Indara, so we’ll get to at least see a bit more Carrie-Anne Moss even if she gets killed off early!), named Torbin by the official Star Wars website. His description there is vague, simply just that he’s a Jedi Master at a Jedi outpost, but here we see his eyes turn completely black as he falls to his knees before the witches. Love a creepy dark magic moment!
