In most instances, acolyte differentiate oneself from others Star Wars——Whether it is from position in timelinepredating the prequel trilogy by a hundred years, it aspires to focus on New characters and exploration, rather than the familiar one. But that doesn’t mean there no Some interesting connections…
…Or, some familiar faces. Enter acolytewe are told that although the play is set at the end of the Republic, only one character from high republic A novel and comic will appear on the show, Vernestra Rwoh by Rebecca Henderson. Other than that, we didn’t know anyone else. This is real! from some point of view. Because although we don’t get other people from the world high republic In today’s cross-media initiative we did find people we know from the movies.
In a brief scene at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, Venestra and other Jedi cadre discuss with Master Thor where his murder investigation should be Take him next. It’s a brief moment, but in addition to one of the other Masters discussing the potential Jedi rogue sect behind the assassin, we also see a Jedi from a familiar race join the discussion: a large-headed Sirian dressed in white and a beige version of the High Republic Temple Robe. You think for a moment, this is impossible. But he has yellow eyes. His hair is gray and longer, but similar in style. Yeah?
Yes. As Day’s credits confirm, this is indeed Ki-Adi-Mundi, played by Derek Arnold, a future member of the Jedi Council and a A concerned person pointed out Attack on the Wookiees (Honestly, this makes his presence in context more interesting), and acolytefirst major Star Wars Cameo.
Ki-Adi-Mondi’s appearance is fleeting and fleeting – you don’t even notice he’s there until his name appears in the end credits, it doesn’t matter, he could just be any of the Serian Jedi ——An issue that attracted the attention of a large group of people. Not the boring kind, like what that meant for his lines The Phantom Menace Something about the Sith that hasn’t been seen in millennia: In this scene, the assembled Jedi, including Kiadi, can’t even imagine that May could be trained by the Sith, instead leaning towards a rogue Jedi – even so, this It was a meeting that the Jedi were explicitly told to keep when they left. all This information is kept confidential. Jedi are good liarshey, if Ki-Adi Mundy is no longer involved in this investigation from now on, he’ll never appear in acolyte Then again, well, it’s true that he never actually met a Sith anyway.
no, like chair robot In front of him, the question here is more existential: how old Is Ki-Adi Mundy here? This was 100 years ago phantom menace, he looks like an adult here. Was he really that old during the Clone Wars? We know very little about Serian society or biology Star Wars Now canon, but in the old Expanded Universe, the Sirians actually aged much faster than their The female population is much larger-A male Cerian in his 60s believed to be actually quite ancient. But now, thanks to acolytewhen Ki-Adi bit into it, it seemed to have been pushed to at least 130 or 150. revenge of the sith (From repeated blaster bolts to the chest, not old age, of course). With that in mind, how long has he been on the Jedi Council? The way he’s mentioned here, he’s not involved yet – he’s just one of many Jedi Masters. But what about the High Council and the members who may have served on it for hundreds of years? Yoda, Yaddle, Yarael Poof, and now Ki-Adi-Mundi… why doesn’t anyone set term limits!
At least, these questions are not actually about acolyte itself. This is good! His presence here is not like, say, Luke Skywalker or Ahsoka Tano appears in The Mandalorianor Mando himself dominates Few sets boba fett books. Yes, it’s a cameo, but it doesn’t quite take over the episode’s narrative, and it’s not even emphasized as a cameo to the point where you’re distracted when the show pauses to go “Look!” You know them! Kiadi comes, he has a few lines in Jedi, he goes, and the episode continues. A surprise indeed, but a welcome one.
