Many surprises have emerged from the latest episode of The Acolyte, yet one detail stands out. Our newest potential Sith, the Stranger, sports a bronze helmet instead of the expected black one.
If you’ve seen the recent episodes featuring this eerie villain, you probably noticed the helmet’s peculiar color. Right after the episode aired, Hasbro unveiled images of its replica helmet in bright bronze, which was surprising. In the show, many assumed it was black.
The likely explanation is either natural wear discoloring the helmet from battle damage or simply cinema magic where lighting alters its appearance. Lucasfilm has yet to clarify this but remember it’s happened before
. Han Solo’s jacket in The Empire Strikes Back exemplifies this dilemma: it appears blue on screen, though in reality it’s brown.
For four episodes, we only glimpsed the Stranger from afar, seemingly clad in all-black akin to Kylo Ren. However, the latest episode offers a close-up revealing a mix of bronze and black.
Perception makes the debate intriguing. While merchandise adhering to studio references might designate certain colors, fan perception often differs. Whether you prefer your Stranger in bronze or black and Han’s jacket blue or brown might just be a fascinating discussion.
