Bazil's actions were motivated by confusion and witnessing key events between the main characters.

Star Wars: The Acolyte showrunner Leslye Headland addresses a strange scene in the season 1 finale featuring Bazil. The Tynnan tracker has been an ally of the Jedi and has played an important role since his introduction in episode 4.

While speaking with Collider, Headland explained why Bazil sabotaged Sol's ship in the finale when the Jedi Knight is pursuing Mae. Check out Headland's explanation below:

I think he’s kind of like, “What is going on with this guy?” I love Bazil, I wanted to give him a hero moment. I wanted Sol to be completely on edge. I think that Bazil has witnessed the handcuffing, you know what I mean, because he's hiding in the ship. We don't cut to him because that would slow down this very important scene between two of the main characters, but I kind of liked the idea that he came in and was like, “What's going on in here?”

More to come...
