Who is the Jedi cameo in The Acolyte episode 4?
You might spot a familiar Cerean in The Acolyte episode 4, who urges the Jedi to inform the High Council of the Mae situation. This is none other than Ki-Adi-Mundi, a Jedi on the High Council in the prequel movies. He’s been immortalised in the prequel memes canon thanks to his line “what about the droid attack on the Wookiees?”
If you were in any doubt that this particular Jedi is Ki-Adi-Mundi, you’ll spot his name in the credits, too.
Of course, you might be wondering how it’s possible that Ki-Adi-Mundi is present a century before the movies. It would seem Cereans have long life-spans: it’s not entirely clear how long, though.
You might also have spotted another familiar face in this episode – a member of the Kel Dor species can be seen.Fans have been speculating that the mystery Jedi is Plo Koonsince he was spotted in one of the trailers. But, at the moment, it’s not certain that the Jedi is definitely Plo Koon, as the Jedi is nameless in the episode and Plo-Koon’s name can’t be spotted in the credits.
