Who Are Sith Acolyte In The Star Wars Franchise?

Their Capabilities And Strength
Sith Acolyte are the new forces hence they are on the path of becoming Sith themselves. As they haven’t earned the rank yet, they’re in constant danger as they have to sacrifice one of the two Sith and also need guidance side by side. There always has to be a master and an Apprentice.
As they learn new ways of the darker side, they play a similar role to Apprentice as they move along the process of change. But as they train in the darker realm, they constantly need an Apprentice but from a master seeking their Apprentice.
The position of Acolyte is an exception in the famous role of the two(there must be a master and an Apprentice). The only way we can tell Acolyte and Sith apart is that, Acolyte doesn’t have the ‘red lightsabers’ of a Sith. ‘The Acolyte’ show will have the warriors a long way to go, but the Slith won’t let the Acolyte go far.
