The Barash Vow: Explaining the Star Wars comics term referenced on The Acolyte

Jedi Master Torbin in The Acolyte.

The latest Star Wars TV show, The Acolyte, is now streaming on Disney Plus, with its third episode hitting the streamer today. As noted by the official Star Wars Twitter account, however, the second episode of the show, 'Revenge/Justice,' contained an intriguing link back to Marvel's Star Wars comics.

In 'Revenge/Justice' the assassin Mae attempts to kill Jedi Master Torbin, only to find him silently meditating (and floating several feet off the ground). It turns out he was practising the Barash Vow - an oath of penitence taken by members of the Jedi Order that involves detaching themselves from the rest of the Order to concentrate on communing purely with the Force.
