In The Acolyte Episode 3, “Destiny,” one question is specifically raised: Are the Jedi good or what? This proactive debate is at the center of the entire show, unpacking the nitty-gritty of what we thought we knew about the Jedi for the past several decades. Just in case you’re confused, Episode 3 makes this dichotomy painfully obvious when Mae screams, “The Jedi are evil!” at young Osha, who counters with the powerful rejoinder, “The Jedi are good!” This attempt to discuss the ethics of the Jedi is interesting, even if it’s clumsy.
