00:00Welcome back everyone it is Amelia I hope you are doing well.

00:08While clone troopers turned on their JD commanders and generals all over the galaxy, Vade was

00:13tasked to kill those still within the JD temple.

00:17However, Vade was still wielding the blue-bladed lightsaber he'd built as Anakin Skywalker.

00:22As would later be revealed, this prohibited Vade from passing a critical Sith trial.

00:27One Palpatine would send him on the days following Revenge of the Sith.

00:31According to the ways of the Sith, a prospective apprentice must kill a JD without a weapon

00:36and claim their lightsaber Skyber before they can be considered a true Dark Lord of the

00:40Sith in service to their master.

00:42This is something that the Acolyte has further fleshed out.

00:45As seen in the first few episodes, Mae Anisea, a mandala Stenberg, has been tasked by her

00:50Dark Master with killing four JD masters, each of them tied to her dark past.

00:55Although Mae killed one with a knife and the second with poison, it's been confirmed

01:00that she was supposed to be killing them unarmed, tying her mission with the trials of the Sith.

01:04It's also been revealed that she could have also killed these JD with their own lightsaber,

01:09explaining her attempts to claim their weapons.

01:12While it's not yet been confirmed that Mae's master is in fact a Sith Lord, he certainly

01:17looks the part.

01:18To that end, the similarities between Mae's trial and Vade's post-Revenge of the Sith

01:22do suggest that Mae was being tested to see if she could become a Sith Apprentice.

01:27That said, it should be interesting to see if Mae will end up succeeding with the final

01:32JD she needs to kill by defeating them without a weapon, seeing as how the third, the Wookiee

01:37JD Kelnacka, was surprisingly killed by her master.

01:41As seen in 2017's Daath Vadir series from Charles Sewell and Jaisab Kamankule, Vadir

01:47found the self-exiled JD Master Kirak in Philae in the aftermath of Revenge of the Sith.

01:52A taker of the JD orders Barish Vao which meant that there weren't any clones nearby

01:56to kill him during Order 66.

01:59Flooding the nearby village that had been under Infilia's protection, Vadir used the

02:03force to snap Kirak's neck while he desperately tried to save the innocent.

02:08As such, this proved Vadir's worth as a Sith Lord by successfully killing a JD without

02:13a weapon.

02:14Vadir's victory also set him up to fulfil the final part of his Sith Apprentice trial,

02:19claiming Kirak's lightsaber.

02:21Vadir took the Kyber within and made it bleed, corrupting its power with the dark side of

02:25the force for his first red lightsaber as a true Sith.

02:28To that end, it will be very exciting to see if the acolyte might also feature a Kyber

02:33bleeding scene, an event that would be a live-action first for the Star Wars franchise.

02:43subs for more upcoming videos.
