The Acolyte is not a Star Wars show for everyone, but it managed to find its audience all the same. Though its inaugural episodes were polarizing, everything seemed to click with its fifth episode, which reintroduced Manny Jacinto’s Qimir as a sexy (but still very evil) Sith warrior, aka The Stranger. The Acolyte gained viral word of mouth almost overnight, with a vocal group of fans holding out for a romance with protagonist Osha (Amandla Stenberg).
