Summary
Actress Jodie Turner-Smith alludes to the presence of an additional Force faction beyond the Jedi and Sith in "The Acolyte."Although her character does not belong to either the Jedi or Sith, she possesses the ability to harness the Force, implying the potential existence of a fresh or pre-existing faction.
