The Acolyte episode 6 deepened the relationship between Osha and Qimir, after the recently unmasked Sith took her to an unknown island to try and convince her to become his pupil. The dynamic between them, as well as the persistent use of Kylo Ren’s score, has lead to some major comparisons with another Star Wars pairing: Rey and Ben Solo.
And according to a new interview with showrunner Leslye Headland, there was a link between the characters. Speaking to Collider, she explained: "With Kylo and Rey, there was really just one moment that was sort of the seed that planted the tree of this relationship. It was just Adam [Driver’s] delivery when he says, ‘Join me,’ and then they cut to her and then he says, ‘Please,’ in this incredibly vulnerable, almost heartbreaking way, where you understand how lonely and lost this guy is because he murdered his dad."
