However, this is a moment that could have a huge impact on the present Star Wars Continuity.
During the opening act of “The Acolyte,” acolyteIn the eighth and final episode of the season, Osha decides to form a tenuous alliance with a mysterious dark force known only as The Stranger.

Is this really Darth Plagueis?
Turns out if it looks like Darth Plagueis, it probably yes. While the episode itself never explicitly states that the figure is Plagueis – aside from the creature’s Sith-like red eyes, and elongated face associated with Plagueis’ race, the Munn – it doesn’t seem like acolyte Showrunner Leslye Headland has been wary of the idea of the character if the show continues to air. But producers have now definitively confirmed that the character is indeed Plagueis. “Plagues has always been in every version of the ending,” the show’s producers told IndieWire in a new interview. “I’d love to have a cameo appear so early if it means I can sum up these characters in this way: [Osha and the Stranger’s] The final shot isn’t that he’s been pulling the strings the whole time.

The Phantom Menace, the two work to further Plagueis’ plan to unlock the secrets of immortality itself. Plagueis and Palpatine focused on a variety of avenues: scientific research, trying to directly influence the midi-chlorians inherent in all living things to manipulate the living Force, practicing Force transfer abilities, allowing one person to replace another’s consciousness with their own. A living vessel and seeking to use his apprentice to create a duality within the Force itself, a Force bond that predates even the ancient Sith belief in the Rule of Two.
Plagueis also supported Palpatine’s rise to power as a senator for his homeworld and Jomel Sector, and joined the Republic Senate in 52 BBY (80 years after his appearance) acolyte), training his students in politics as much as he did the dark side of the Force. However, their alliance did not last long. As Palpatine eventually told Anakin in The Tragedy of Plagueis the Wise, he was betrayed and killed by his apprentice in his sleep, unable to react quickly enough to exploit the darkness he had dedicated his life to Art to cheat death.
