Worlds Biggest Facepalm
I have been broken yet again. How much can one person endure??
Episode 3 of The Acolyte gives the backstory of Osha and Mae.
Yes, Spoilers.
A sect/cult of female Force (which they call the Thread) users (who call themselves Witches) have been "[exiled], hunted, persecuted, [and] forced into hiding", because "some would consider [their] power dark." So, they retreat to an uninhabited planet and create a fortress in a rocky mountain.
The leader witch “pulls” Threads to create life in another witch's womb, resulting in the aforementioned twins. Why did she do this? We have no idea.
When the twins come of age, Osha declares that she wants to be a Jedi. Why does she want this? We have no idea.
Mae throws a tantrum over Osha’a decision, threatening to kill her. Why did she do this? We have no idea.
Mae throws an oil lamp on the floor, causing the entire stone fortress to burn and collapse. How? We have no idea.
The entire coven dies, each person collapsing where they stand. How? We have no idea.
Three Jedi Masters and a Padawan show up to investigate the twins. Why so much power for a Scout mission? We have no idea.
Master Sol saves young Osha from falling by grabbing her hand instead of using the Force. ...but saves adult Osha by using the Force. Why? We have no idea.
Adult Mae seeks revenge on the Jedi over the death of her Coven/family, which was caused by the fire she created. How did she forget that detail? We have no idea.
