The Acolyte Fans Fawn Over Padawan Tasi Lowa
Tasi Lowa first appeared in The Acolyte episode 1 titled Lost / Found, where she accompanied Yord Fandar on a cargo ship to seek Osha.
At the time, Yord wanted to confirm whether the rumors had been true, that it had been Osha who executed Master Indara behind their backs.
Tasi also happened to be the interrogator of the scene by dropping the bombshell on Osha, "The suspect matched your description. Where were you last night?" In that short yet charming entrance, fans fell head over heels! Check out some of the fan reactions below:
While Tasi Lowa is described to be a Zygerrian Jedi of the Jedi Order living in the High Republic Era, some of the fans claim she may be a hybrid of that and Zabrak, considering that Zygerrians have fangs and fur, while Tasi only has teeth and horns.
While little is still known about the role Tasi Lowa plays in The Acolyte, you can get to know more about the actress who plays her, Thara Schöön.
