澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Acolyte breakout Yord may be the internet’s new favorite Jedi, but being the subject of countless memes from a new fanbase – the Yord Horde – doe꧅sn’t exclude you from any theorycrafting. 

Case in point: some Star W♛ars fans think Charlie Barnett&🐬rsquo;s Jedi Knight is the mysterious Sith Lord teased during The Acolyte premiere.

, it appears a small corner of viewers have identified Yord as the man behind the toothy mask in The Acolyte.

"Hiding in plain sight," one after a suggestion was made that Yord is the Sith who has sent Mae (Amandla Stenberꦍg) on a path towards killing multiple Jedi.

"Contꦰroversial opinion: I think Yord is e🍰ither gonna turn to the Dark Side and become ‘The Acolyte’ OR he is the sith character that Mae is trying to impress," another . "I'll happily be proven wrong but something is making my theory brain tingle."

🔴Some, though, aren’t so sure – and are already second guessing themse⛦lves.

"Yord feels like he's so obviously the plot twist Sith that I wonder if it's just a red herring for us nerds trying to pr🥃edic🐠t," one on Twitter.

Aജnother on said, "My current thoughts are Yord is another dark side user … ju🍸st not sure if he’s full Sith."

A m♑ajor rebuttal to the Yord Sith theory is that the Jedi can be seen fighting someone holding a red lightsaber in pre-release marketing. 

Of course, those sorts of misdirects are possible – the Star Wars show did hide the whole twin thing pretty well until its debut – but this feels concrete enough that Yord could be ruled out. Besides, we still think Qimir (Manny Jacinto) is at the top of our Sith leaderboard. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The signs are there…
