The Acolytestar Manny Jacinto has seen the Oshamir fan art – and he thinks there’s more of that romantic tension to come.
Jacinto plays The Stranger, AKA Qimir, in the Star Wars show, andThe Acolyte episode 6ignited a shipping frenzy when Qimir spirited Osha away to hismysterious islandand tried to lure her to the dark side. After the finale, which saw Osha agree to be Qimir’s pupil and Qimir tentatively take her hand as they watched the sunset together, the tension between them seems to be in overdrive.
“In the fan art I’ve seen, there’s a good amount that implies…somethingbetween Osha and the Stranger,” Jacinto toldGQ.
“That’s something that people, I think, have been yearning for in this genre, or at least in this IP, and I love that people are honing in on it and encouraging it,” he continued. “So I think people can look forward to more of that, possibly. If people want it, we can explore that in a subsequent season.”
Osha falling to the dark side wasn’t the only massive revelation of the episode, either.We also saw Grand Master Yodain a split-second cameo, as well as a glimpse ofDarth Plagueis. Senator Rayencourt was also introduced, which has spurred theories thathe’s secretly Darth Tenebrous, the Master of Plagueis.
We’ll have to wait and see what happens next in The Acolyte, however, as the show hasn’t been officially renewed for a season 2.
