The last episode before the big finale effectively built upon the unexpected turn of events set to take place in Episode 8. Titled, Choice, Episode 7 was a trip down memory lane that offered glimpses into what sparked the burning desire for revenge in Amandla Stenberg’s Mae. Therefore, viewers are taken back 16 years ago in Brendok, taking up the narrative of a Jedi this time.
Lee Jung-jae’s Sol was disclosed as the one at fault for the tragedy that unfolded years ago. In the quest to save him from persecution by the Council, young Mae was falsely blamed as the person responsible, resulting in hatred and despising by Osha.
