Summary There was a hidden Easter egg in The Acolyte episode 6 that made a huge callback to Vernestra Rwoh's time in the High Republic novels. The Acolyte is set during the High Republic era, about 100 years before Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. The new Star Wars show is only the first to bring this part of the Star Wars timeline into live-action, though - it's been the focus of a wide array of novels and comic books for years now.

So who is Vernestra Rwoh and why is she in The Acolyte?
While speaking to Osha, the Stranger revealed that he had a large, winding scar on his back, and he said his former Master gave it to him. The scar seemed suspiciously like the type of wound a lightwhip might inflict, which has led many to believe the Stranger was Vernestra's former Padawan. If Vernestra was struggling with her attachment to Imri Cantaros while training him, it might have caused a rift between her and the Stranger.
