The Acolyte season 1 finale delivered a satisfying conclusion to Mae and Osha’s story arc.
Osha’s journey throughout the season leads her to embrace her dark emotions.
Osha confronts her former master, Sol, who reveals a shocking secret.
The changing color of Osha’s lightsaber crystal is a visual representation of the “bleeding” process.
– Red lightsabers are synonymous with the Sith in Star Wars lore. – Bleeding a kyber crystal symbolizes the corruption of the Force and the user’s descent into darkness.
While red lightsabers have been seen before in live-action Star Wars films, this is the first time the bleeding process has been depicted.
The concept of bleeding kyber crystals has been explored in Star Wars comics and video games.
