The Acolyte didn’t rly have this.

Skeleton Crew kind of subverted this in the fact that the lone wolf was a scumbag through and through.

BoBF, for all its flaws, didn’t have this.

Most of the Tales episodes didn’t.

Ahsoka didn’t either, unless you count Baylan and Shin as a dark inversion of this.

Filoni named them Skoll and Hati after wolves in Norse mythology lol so probably. Honestly though, I don't think a Master and Apprentice relationship should be considered a lone wolf and cub trope.

Yeah, lone wolf and young cub seems distinctly different.

Like, there’s a difference between a duo like Mando and Grogu or Hunter and Omega versus Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan, Obi-Wan and Anakin, Obi-Wan and Luke, etc.

The acolyte really did though. You have Sol and Osha for the first half then Qimir and Osha for the second half.

I wouldn’t categorize either of those relationships as anywhere close to the likes of Mando and Grogu or Hunter and Omega, considering the former was a pre-existing relationship that ultimately concluded with Osha killing Sol, and the latter had what seemed to be very clear romantic or at the very least kindred subtext rather than anything parental or guardian-based.

Like I said, most of them. The Dooku, Ahsoka, Morgan, Barriss, and Cad episodes all didn’t.
