The Acolyte's Sith villain won't get a big origin story in Season 1.

In its fifth episode, Star Wars: The Acolyte finally pulled back the curtain on its big villain. The unmasking twist wasn't a massive surprise, with plenty of fans guessing the Stranger's identity ahead of time, but the devastating way in which the reveal was executed helped make it such a memorable sequence. We know exactly who the mysterious Sith lord is now. If you want more about the character's history, though, you'd better hold out hope for Acolyte Season 2 .

"Because it's Osha's story, you don't know much about the Stranger's background and you're not really going to learn much about it," Headland told EW."But there are a bunch of things in Episode 6 and Episode 8 that are really big clues as to why he is the way he is and why his philosophy is the way that it is."
