Warning: The following contains spoilers for 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Acolyte episode 8! Turn back now if you're not up to date with the Star Wars show! 

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Acolyte finale features a seriously call lightsaber mom🗹ent – and it has the internet debating Star Wars canon. 

The♛ episode saw Osha finally fall to the dark side, though it didn't look entirely intentional. As Osha Force choked her former Master Sol to death, the kyber crystal in the li💟ghtsaber she held flickered to red.

After she committed the murder, Sith Lord Qimir went to comfort her, and Osha lashed out with the lightsaber. The blade then changed from blue to red as she watched in shock. This is what's known as bleeding a kyber crystal, when a Force user channels n🌞egative, dark emotions into a crystal to corrupt it, which turns the lightsaber red. 

This is the first𓆏 time the process has been shown in live-action, so, naturally, Star Wars fans are discussing how it fits into Star Wars canon.

"I'm glad they did it but wish it was more like how they did it in Jedi Survivor," , referencing a moment when Dagan Gera i𝓀ntentionally bled his kyber crystal as Cal Ke𝓀stis watched. 

"I꧑ like how it was shown in two different ways. One where it was a very deliberate action and one where the dark side became so strong t🐽hat it just sort of happened," is . 

"Personally prefer it being more intentional – Anakin'🌠s blade stayed blue all through Mustafar," .

"I liked both. I thought it was fitting there were still flashes of blue in the sa🌠ber blade for a few seconds. Resembled her hesitation in the ജmoment of if she would truly fall," is . 

The episode ended with Qimir and Osha together on that mysterious island, which 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史🌜查询:also seems to be home to Darth Plagueis. Expect b﷽ig things to come 🐷if The Acolyte is renewed for season 2, then.
