Watch the trailer here.

Feel free to add whatever, as long as it’s relevant to this Star Wars show. Be warned, you may get spoiled if you bet in this market and don’t immediately watch the show.

Clarifications:

  • Disney Killed means that we’re unlikely to see many corpses on a Disney+ show. So if a character is thrown off a bridge, and we never see them again, this is Disney killed.

You can also bet on how well liked the show will be

@mattyb This resolution itself is a bit of a spoiler, but there’s two characters referred as a “Sith acolyte”: Mae and Osha. Mae starts a Sith acolyte and ends up with the Jedi. Osha starts as a former Jedi and ends as a Sith acolyte.

I’m not going to determine which one the creators meant as the acolyte, so I’m going to assume it’s both. 50% is fair

@mattyb The obvious ones are Osha, Mae, and The Stranger. However Darth Plagueis was later confirmed by the show runners as being the mysterious character shown in the finale. That makes 4.

@mattyb Jecki, Yord, Sol, Indara, Kelnacca

@mattyb My count is:

Killed by The Stranger (7): Jecki, Yord, Kelnacca, +4x Jedi found discovered by Vernestra (seen in Episode 6, at time 28:25)

Killed by Mae (2): Torbin, Indara

Killed by Osha (1): Sol

@mattyb Osha

@mattyb Mae goes undercover as Osha with the intent of killing jedi, as she’s still a Sith Acolyte then

@mattyb I found leaked scripts for every episode and they say “witches” every single time but for Osha saying “I don’t want to be a witch” in ep. 3

@PlasmaBallin lol, nope

@mattyb i don’t know who this is (got it from internet fan theories) but he’s definitely not credited

@mattyb wikipedia credits Darth Plagueis as being in the show, IMDb doesn’t. neither lists an actor playing him.

@mattyb nope, didn’t get picked up at all

@mattyb nope, no one mentions this line in the whole show, and Shmi hasn’t been born yet.

@mods this can resolve yes, show starts with a blue text preamble fading onto the screen.

+1

bought Ṁ300 NO

@mods this can resolve no, show starts with a text preamble

yep

If you're watching the show and one of these is resolved, post it and @mods (make sure to click the 'mods' in the autocomplete box so the @mods turns blue unlike this comment)

@mods are any mods watching this show? tricky case, because resolving these requires a decent amount of work and mattyb is off the site. if a mod is watching it and can handle resolutions, great. otherwise could rely on the attestations of comments? (or otherwise it won't be great when people looking for acolyte markets find this one and don't know it won't be resolving). up to you all (i can't help not watching the show sorry!)

I think attestations in the comments are fine. Eventually a second person will have watched the show and will be able to contradict it/make it reresolve if someone makes something up.

Haven't watched yet, I'm gonna turn off submissions unless someone wants to adopt this.

opened a Ṁ1 NO at 29% order

Yikes! Apparently this is now a one-and-done. Not a good sign.

New ‘Star Wars’ Series Canceled Just Months Before Premiere

@chris is this just for the first episode (same with your other one)?

@mattyb yes I'll update to be more specific

@Shrewdan so, when they’re first introduced, their face is hidden by a hood, and then revealed?

@mattyb Pretty much, doesn't have to be all the way hidden.
