"Are they that blind?" Uh, the Jedi didn't recognize that Palpatine was a Sith lord right under their nose. I think hubris is their kryptonite, always.
35:18 yeah, but they’re squashing any other way of looking into the Force because every other group we’ve seen is EVIL. And confronting evil is the destiny of the Jedi.
Hi! Love your coverage and discourse on all topics Star Wars! Stopping in to present a small idea I haven't seen mentioned anywhere. I suspect that Qimir is actually a very young Palpatine. He's not been named Sidious by Palgueis -- IE he has no name. This offers an explanation on why Qimir/Palpatine would have been working with the Witches -- furthermore explains his eventual connection to the witches of Dathomir. Also explains some of his behavior in the Acolyte series. Hiding, and manipulating from the shadows, only difference is he's young and makes the same mistake that Maul did on Courisant prior to Phantom Menace. Theres nothing to say that Palpatine didn't have many "acolytes" prior to Maul. Additionally, they've already augmented canon characters ages -- though in Palpatine's case, it could be explained away that Palgueis knew how, and did keep him alive for significantly longer than he would have normally lived through dark side sorcery. Again thank you for being a paragon of the Star Wars community! Keep up the amazing work!!
Manny was great being sinister and still throwing in a goofy "Hello". The choreography was spectacular. This should be watched as a double episode Day/Night. Force healing has been in Star Wars video games long before Rise of Skywalker.
What are you talking about Yord died because of Osha Sol told them to leave Osha brought him back. And Jeckies amd Yord were killed by the man Osha just saved so what are you talking about?
I believe they mean that all these events are happening because of Mae, Qimir used Mae’s past and personal vendetta and Mae, being the dummy she is, followed through it until she found out Osha was alive
@@hawkeyemihawkgettingmoneylord this whole chase is because Mae started killing Jedi. Indara, Torbin, so the Jedi came to this planet to stop her. What are you talking about?
@@ceezyjeffezy2213 wtf does that have to do with jedi law? She was ready to have Yord kill Mae because she's afraid she couldn't. But now she's willing to let the killer of all her friends live? If she was willing to allow Mae to die why not the person way more evil? And Yord death is on Osha yord and osha were supposed to leave Osha make yord turn back so you cant even put that on Mae.
@@hawkeyemihawkgettingmoneylord wtf are you talking about. When she asked Yord to kill her they had no idea Mae was having doubts, she was on her way to kill a third Jedi after killing two. They were expecting a confrontation. Mae wasn’t absolved of the two murders just because her Master turned psycho. Osha and Yord went back to help Sol and Jecki against a Maniac Sith who Mae brought to the planet. It’s on Mae. To paraphrase Qimir. “Mae brought him here.”
Indeed. Earlier today before i came here i wrote same to person in Facebook page about the episode. I guess that person was part of rude Fandom 'Karen' Menace because what i got back was nasty meme 😮💨 I'll restream S01E05 via D+ on saturday evening, but without those 2x 😐 moments 🙂
Unpopular opinion: Qimir should’ve been the protagonist of the Acolyte. No twins. No witches. Just “Qimir” training as a Sith apprentice and navigating the galaxy.
Yord was being realistic about lightsaber combat. The only beings that can really use lightsabers effectively are jedi. For non force users a blaster is much easier to kill with. So the only real experience any jedi has against another lightsaber is dueling another jedi trained by jedi.
Because Qimir refers to Sol as master, maybe Qimir was "recruited/abducted" by the Jedi as a small child and Sol could sense the force and great potential in Qimir. Sol starts to train Qimir as an apprentice but then begins to sense the dark side within him and halts his training without explanation and abandons him, or even tries to unalive him because of the darkness within. Qimir then feels isolated and betrayed by the Jedi and Darth Plagus senses his intense emotions and power and is introduced to the dark side and the way of the Sith. Sol has a hard time recognizing Qimir because his mind has been so corrupted and clouded by the dark side that he is essentially a different person. Or Sol does recognize him and is so full of guilt he cant even admit it to himself. Just a thought.
He has no Sith origins. When asked what he was he merely said “you would call me a Sith.” It just meant “I don’t fall in line with your bs” and am still going to use his power as he sees fit. As he can’t be a witch, he’s not a Jedi so… I guess you’d call me a Sith.
@@RelixYGyou don’t have to bring autism into it like it’s a negative… Agree that just because it’s a show about Sith doesn’t mean Qimir is actually a Sith. It could be about how “modern” Sith came to be, and they aren’t actually connected to the race of Sith that came before? Idk that much about Sith history, but also don’t know what is canon there anymore.
This! She got hyper fixated on that and every time I was like no hes just being "respectful" Master Jedi is something that gets thrown around all the time
I’m not saying either way, but the reason sidious was doing that may have been because of his preexisting relationship with Yoda. In both cases, they are using “master” ironically - or maybe sarcastically. Or something. Not sure the word to use there 😅. Just a possible explanation.
When Qimir kills Jecki lon. That was a filipino martial arts move. Kali, also known as Arnis or Eskrima, is the martial art of the Philippines. Kali emphasizes fighting with tools like sticks, knives, swords, improvised weapons, as well as empty hand techniques. Manny Jacinto is filipino.
FINALLY somebody mentioned it 👏👏👏. the reveal of Qimir behind weapons that partially hides his face is an Arnis defensive posture. iirc Arnis have already been peppered throughout Star Wars fight scenes for decades, but gained special prominence when lightsaber fighting extended to include 2 weapons instead of just one.
They used real light-up devices with battery packs in them for this show, so kinda kills Erik’s thing for the choreography around the placement of where the beams “would be” (and also explains why the hilts are thicc hogs)
Osha will kill Sol in the final episode without a weapon and this will be when she completely turns and fulfils her sister's original objective and becomes the Acolyte.
Sol killed her mom - I wouldn't be mad at it. Jedi had no business on her planet looking for kids to test & take to Coruscant. Torbin apologized cause he knew it was wrong asf
I mean yeah its just dumb/another dumb addition that they keep shoving in dumb shows so in the grand scheme does it matter when they cant do simple things well.
@@ChrisSmith-tu9buguess what? Instead of being such a constant killjoy that feels the need to comment and complain in every thread. YOU CAN JUST TURN YOUR TV OFF AND NOT WATCH THE SHOW. Incels just can’t let anyone enjoy anything
it was a small wound its not like he stopped her from dying so it didnt matter but thats exactly why I think it does kinda matter as either to point to who he really is or purposely make us think we know who he is
@@andrewurycki168 If critiquing a piece of media is such a killjoy then u probably shouldn't go 2 Rotten Tomatoes 'cuz hardly anything there gets 100%. If u r 1 of those people who say they hate negativity then please don't critique a stranger this way, especially don't call them an incel.
Is he really a Sith though? Or is he saying that any Force user who is not a Jedi tends to get lumped under the Sith banner when they may just be a dark Jedi or just a force user who does not adhere to the Jedi dogma.
No telling CLEARLY this show despises Cannon...he probably comes from a colony of Sith and they could be all gay guys having sith babies...At this point theres no limit to the amount of Cannon the writers just ignore to suit whatever jacked up story theyre going for
Sith is a very specific thing. Thats like hearing im Christian and just lumping me in with Judaism thats saying " ehhh close enough". But in reality no is completely different
@@hawkeyemihawkgettingmoneylord I mean the dude could be lying but the show is making up its own cannon as it goes...Im sure if they were writing a Muslim character itd be a pig farmer and love making sausages..its so badly farcical while ignoring so much of the other lore no telling whats happening... I imagine they thought him saying you can call me sith because yall cops wont let me be me sounded cool and jived with their whole there is no evil world view and the good guys are the bad guys storylines they love.
@@ChrisSmith-tu9bu What canon is it making up you haven't said a single thing that they've made up. For the love of God just stop watching the show if you don't even know what your talking about
The choreography in this episode was fantastic, one of the best lightsaber battles we have ever seen. A story focusing on Qimir should have been the direction the show focused on.
Glass half full. Glass half empty. I'm a half full guy but I do realize many of the fandom can only see the top half of the glass that has nothing in it. Sucks to not be able to recognize the fact that there is yummy yum yum in the bottom half of the glass. Typical! and boring...
@@ichigen511 it is what it is, some people enjoy complaining about the toys they got rather than the ones they wanted. This show has its ups and downs, I just love going on new adventures, and it is an adventure regardless of fandom toxicity.
@@boiledodenproductions Thank you for the reponse I misread your comment. Cheers brother you see the yummy yum yum at the bottom half of your glass, you just wish you had JUST a little bit more yum yum. 😅
Guys (and Maude). We KNOW he is tied into the story of the witches because of what Osha told Yord. She told him her mother knew how to get inside the heads of the Jedi. Just like Qimir did to Yord. Who tought Qimir? Hmmmmm???????
I just want to give a Shoutout to Stunt Coordinator Mark Ginther, Junchang Lu & Manny Jacinto. Because it can be seen how much Love they put into this episode. The fact this shows that you can kill a Jedi without a weapon (just snap their neck). Also gotta give it to Jecki (Dafne Keen) hopefully the next time we see her drop kick someone she has claws (X23). The Power of 1, The Power of 2.... the Power of Manny!!!!
Yeah I wish the direction had been a little better but man they really knew their stuff and choreographed some beautiful fight scenes. i thought the same thing with the opening..Too bad the wasted it on such a badly written and directed show but at least they gave us SOMETHING the fans might like.
I think Qimir and his master were at the ascension ceremony. There are two mysterious figures flanking Aniseya, and you can see their breath, so I don't think they are coven members. I think Qimir's master is actually the one who can force possess people, they just made it appear as if Aniseya was doing it. I think Aniseya would be reluctant to "pull the thread." I think Sol cuts down Aniseya when Kelnacca is possessed, thinking it would sever the tie, but then realized he killed an "innocent" when the force possession tie was not severed.
@@JPSRCE1987 Thank you. I believe this is why Qimir is so preoccupied with mind control/mind reading and wears a helmet that protects him from mind control. His master does it often. This is also how his master kills jedi without a weapon. He possessed other beings that kill the jedi.
I am waiting for the secret Dark Side master to be Mother Abeloth, who is not a Sith Lord, but is far more powerful and dangerous than the majority of Sith Lords that have ever existed. On a tier list of strongest dark side users to ever exist in Star Wars, she would be S-tier and happens to also be female, which is something the showrunners would've definitely been interested in exploring. Smilo Ren also literally has the same smile as Abeloth, and it makes sense that a witch coven with mind magic would be affiliated with Abeloth. One of Abeloth's specialties was mind-controlling Jedi knights, and she was able to turn Jacen Solo into a Sith Lord. Mother Abeloth would also want specifically one male apprentice / acolyte and one female apprentice / acolyte, because she is looking to recreate her Son and Daughter (from her family known as The Ones).
What if Qimir and Sol are brothers separated by the Jedi.... I also noticed that, at times, it seemed as if Qimir was trying not to kill the Jedi. As though - until they saw his face, he wanted to further make the Jedi think something evil, yet unrelated to the Sith was causing their issues.
Remember in the first episode when Osha complains that there are no other children on Brendok? Looking back, was there more to that line? Does it have a pay-off? Was Qimir also there, perhaps hidden because it was an all-female coven? Is that how Quimir is attached to Mae and Osha and, by extension, to Sol and the other Jedi?
Qimir found a pamphlet on the ground that said "So You Want to Be a Sith...?". He opened it, and it had quotes from L.Ron Hubbard, Ayn Rand, and Anton LeVay.... 😅
Imo, Qimir is not really a sith......otherwise he would have responded Darth something...... just a former jedi using the dark side..... proclaiming himself a sith..... no one heard of them in 1000 years........ no big deal to 'use' the name..... who would know... BUT...... wait until he comes face to face will a real sith......😲....
I remember a while back there was a rumor about Keanu being cast in a SW role for a project. I fully beleive that it was for the role of Qimir and it was changed to Manny. Given he would have worked a bit with Carrie Anne, it seems like it would have made sense. Thats the theory im going with, exp since in this role Manny does look a lot like it could have been Keanu
In Legends, one of Luke Skywalker’s descendants practiced force healing ,but in that book (i’m sorry I forget which book it is, but it takes place many decades after the new Jedi order), when he did it in that book force healing was frowned upon as a dark side trait.
I agree. Since Mae (actually Osha) has disappeared, he need to take action quickly and he should also report the presence of the Sith as soon as possible.
Uhmnm .. because A.)Either he assumes the Sith is dead and is STILL rushing off the planet for no reason...He, didnt even check to see if the Wookie was still alive B.)He thought Osha was with him but why didn't he go apprehend who he thinks is May. C.)ALL Jedi are force sensitive and Sol is supposed to be this high level guy whos a mind reader yet cant tell theres a switch D.) Why wouldn't you make sure the Sith is dead E.)Why would you leave incredibly rare and dangerous lightsabers all over the woods. I mean they LITERALLY MAKE SUPER WEAPONS out of the crystals that power them..its like leaving Uranium laying around F.)Does this dude not have ANY respect or care for his friends? Would an actual medieval Knight leave a dead comrade's body to be eaten by animals after a battle was over and the enemy assumed eradicated....I mean THE ENORMITY OF THIS BAD WRITING WOULD BE UNPRECEDENTED...if we didn't already have She-Hulk...it is insane about how either incompetent or lazy these people were. Its like a skit show and certain characters are just SUPPOSED to be in certain locations which works in a goofy comedy because it's just comedy bits...this is just scenes without ANY reasoning...if they predecided they wanted certain scenes in a TV show they could have just out-sourced the script to a bunch of high school kids that could brainstorm WHY these people would be at certain places... because as is they never make sense...and if the scenes were oscar worthy maybe it wouldn't be so bad but the scenes are normally boring asf or just disjointed.
So all the LIGHTsabers don’t attract the bugs but just that one at the right time does? And he can whoosh away 10 jedis so easily but is helpless to get carried away ? If he has no rules why don’t he just take out his enemies immediately with the force. Crush their heads or just totally cripple them physically?
Sol meet Qimir the day before. At that time Qimir asked Sol not to do any Jedi mind tricks on him. Qimir was mocking the fact that Sol could not sense the dark side user standing in front of him yesterday. Qimir is taunting this fact and provides another clue, when he refuses to take off his helmet, stating this wouldallow sol to do Jedi mind tricks. The main reason he would not take his mask off was he needed to hide his identity and it gave him an advantage in a light saber duel.
I don't understand the focus on force healing. It's been a thing in Star Wars since some of the earliest games and books. Just because most aren't taught or can't use the ability doesn't mean it hasn't been there for the shows and movies to use. I love that they used cortosis, but i hate they didn't explain it for the new viewers that might not have read any books over the years.
It feels like Qimir was somehow on Brandoc... Probably way off but what if he was the Witches 1st attempt at creating a Force child, but he lacked balance and was all darkside... So when they tried again they had twins in order to create balance between light and dark? I suppose Osha saying that her mother also knew how to get in a Jedi's head might have just been a red herring though.
I know lots of fans are saying Qimir is the apprentice, that he has a master, but why would his entire goal be finding a new apprentice? And he has master powers, he went through jedi master, Knights, padawans, so out numbered, not alot of sith apprentices that I can think of, could have done that, he just seems way more of a master sith to me, even if he shouldnt be in this show, but this show is changing some lore, wouldnt suprise me if they dont use a big name sith, and just created a new one for the show...
What was with the random jump cuts to the sith dude into different locations, can he teleport? They didn't highlight that well enough for me to understand what was going on, is he nightcrawler or batman
Watched this live and it was funny cuz Maude was out there cosplaying as a stick in the mud but this time the big boss came onto set and he's enjoying the show so we got a lot of facial expressions this episode lol. I did not like OWK. That's actually a bad show in my opinion. To me this show is good as hell but a bit flawed. It's kinda like those in love see no flaws. Fall out of love and you nitpick all flaws. I'm somewhere in between where I see the flaws but I refuse to give a flying fuck about them? Kinda thing. This show is like being at the beach and having a good time. I can toss on my headphones and ignore the idiots making all the noise and laugh at all the people like Maude just actively trying to have a bad time in a fun spot. A bee might buzz by and piss me off but that doesn't ruin my day. "You had a bad moment not a bad day." is how I try to view negative experiences. You're obviously gonna feel what you feel but ... that has to suck for you cuz I'm literally just happy to watch a pretty good series visiting new planets in a new time period. Everything is new and can be broken down and bits of legends get brought in so I get to watch hours of extra content covering those topics as well. I am getting a LOT out of this series and it's fucking great. That outweighs pacing or awkward delivery on some lines or whatever small stuff I'll notice and laugh at but ultimately just... not care about. It's not the important part about the story being told and intentionally giving it weight is a choice.
Regarding "everyone having healing now" (not a direct quote)... Don't forget, we've seen healing right from the beginning: Obi Wan healed Luke after Luke was attacked by the Sand People. We also saw Sidious heal Anakin on Mustafar after the fight with Obi Wan.
I think the Vern whip shot is gonna take place on Brendok. I think it’s all leading back to there. I am expecting two flashback episodes, showing off Mae’s, Qimir’s and Sol’s POVs. Last one is gonna be Vern coming in and dying. Qimir will live, but only him.
He doesn't say "im a Sith", he says "I have no name, but the Jedi, like you, might call me Sith". He might be saying he's a Sith here, but another way to look at it is that he's saying he's something else, but because the Jedi are so black and white, they dont leave room for something else, so they would just call him Sith even though that's not what he is.
Remember when Mae came back to him after switching places and cutting her own hair, Sol asked her “Where’s your sister?” Not where’s Mae at? So he definitely has to know something is different.
It sounds like theyre eluding that he knows Sal killed everyone for whatever reason. I think the witches thought the jedi were burning the place down and forced them into a conflict that led to them killing them all. They also mentioned he used the same technique as Oshas mom. Also Sal said he can tell hes no jedi basically saying hes had no jedi training. Id bet the witch that carried the twins in her womb lived and decided to have another baby but this time it was a boy and raised him to be a Sith and exact her revenge on the Jedi.
11:24 but he exposed himself! He intentionally revealed himself to the Jedi! Like there’s no reason for him to do that, it doesn’t make sense. “Mae was gonna betray him and tell the Jedi everything.” Tell them what? It’s already been established that she doesn’t know anything! She doesn’t know his name, she’s never seen his face, what does she actually know? Like that’s the whole point of him using Mae as this assassin so that he could remain hidden per the Rule of Two. Nobody knew who he was. Even Sol asks him “why reveal yourself?” And he says “well, I didn’t wear a mask.” But that’s not what Sol was asking. Even if the helmet had stayed on the Jedi know there’s a Sith running around! In canon comics Maul uses his lightsaber a few times to fight people in the Coruscant underworld, and Sideous nearly murders him. Because if the Sith reveal their presence too early the Jedi might, oh I dunno, institutes some preventative measures that might stop the Sith from infiltrating the Senate and dissolving it into “the first, Galactic, EMPIRE!” And just ruin hundreds of years of Sith plotting. But now Darth Qi’mir is just openly out here? It’s just not consistent.
8:54 but Jecki isn’t supposed to be this combat master. She’s a Padawan, and a low level Padawan at that. The Sith, even a Sith Apprentice, is supposed to be significantly more powerful than even Jedi Knights. And Qi’mir just slaughtered 6 or 7 other Jedi Knights with ease. But this little girl Padawan makes him struggle? He should annihilate her. It shouldn’t even be a thought. It should be effortless. He should cut through her like it’s nothing. The only time we’ve seen a Padawan defeat a Sith was Obi Wan defeating (sorta) Maul during Phantom Menace. But that wasn’t anything to do with Obi Wan being more powerful than Maul because remember, Maul won the duel portion of that fight. It was only when Maul allowed his hubris to distract and blind him that Obi Wan was able to get the upper hand for a split second and cut Maul down. Even Anakin as a Padawan was easily dispatched by Count Dooku. And Anakin is supposed to be one of the most proficient swordsmen the Jedi have ever produced. And he couldn’t defeat a Sith. But we’re supposed to believe this little Padawan held her own against this Sith?
But he did! I think those 3 light sabers wounds showed that he was far superior. Also, I think he a little more respect for her cause she was loyal. She was a good fighter and adept in the force even more so than Yord. I don’t think her “rank” was that important. But again I was never offended by so called Mary Sue or Gary Sue characters. It’s fiction. It’s a story
@@jenniferwilson2217 yeah, he killed her. But he struggled. It took him much longer and she was the one besides Sol to get some hits in on him. Her rank absolutely has something to do with it. Because he has significantly more training than she does. She’s a student. She’s learning. She’s supposed to have less training than the multiple Jedi knights he’s slaughtering right before that. She shouldn’t do as well as she did
Am I the only one that thought child Osha was a jerk? Because they did belong to that coven of witches, but they were always kind and loving to them, so Osha exposing them to the Jedi was total betrayal. Also… I think those Jedi did something shady af in that flashback and killed them in cold blood, because Master Torbin wasn’t killed. Mae gave him poison and told him she was giving him a chance to repent for what he did. He willingly took it and apologized to Mae as he did… so WHAT DID THEY DO?!
My guess is that like many dark side force users he was a mixed-up kid tormented about this or that and some enterprising Sith master came upon him and decide to recruit and turn him to the dark side and train him to help fulfill their personal agenda. E.g. Sidious with Maul, Dooku (admittedly no longer a kid) and Anakin, Dooku with Asajj, Maul trying to do this with Ezra, Sidious/Snoke with Ben, Ben trying to do this with Rey, etc. It's not that complicated and the process is well-known at this point. It's probably how Sidious was recruited when he was a kid. The real question is who recruited and turned him, and how that relates to the broader SW story line and the events that led up to the Jedi's fall 100 years later.
In my honest opinion, Sol is Darth Tenebrous. Qimir is a nobody early Apprentice of Tenebrous. And Osha becomes Darth Tenebrous new Apprentice by killing Qimir after Qimir kills Mae. This was the plan all along from Episode 3 when Sol/Tenebrous starts his plan to remove Qimir amny years back when he takes on osha as a Padawan while he is hiding in plane sight as a Jedi.
52:50 and that’s why this show is bad! Because the Jedi are supposed to be good! And the Sith are supposed to be bad! 53:15 Qi’mir isn’t “choosing freedom.” He’s evil. He’s murdering people. He’s a Sith, he wants to rule, he wants to oppress, he wants control.
🌪️ that’s always been the big debate about Star Wars in reference to what maude was saying at the end. When we started with Star Wars with the first three movies all you had was the last Jedi versus the last Sith so it was easy to set up good versus evil no problem. Even in the sequel series with ren it was still leaning towards good versus evil as far as the force was concerned because you had ren vs Palpatine. The province starts with the prequel series where you have the Jedi shown as a religious/political force within the world of the existing government. That’s where things got complicated and a little gray area. You literally established a religious organization involved with government and everybody knows that is a very bad idea unless that was the whole point that George Lucas was going for in the movies. If he was trying to establish that it’s a very bad thing to mix church and state because it can lead to bad things then OK if that was his original intent, I don’t know. I’m not a Star Wars, I’m just approaching it from the movies going crazy with the novels and comics and stuff. I’m just going by what I’ve seen of the trilogies.
🌪️ oh yeah, here’s another problem. I got with Star Wars in general now. Lucas was inspired in originally by Dune for some of the ideas for his Star Wars and also he introduced concepts of sword and fantasy in space and a bunch of other stuff basically he mix together a bunch of genres into one movie. I’m a one hand he has themes Of monks and orders, which is a religious theme, then you have your samurai theme because of the light sabers, Then you have your war theme with the rebels and the Empire. It’s like he was leaning towards one way, but then kind of threw a bunch of other stuff in there cause it was cool. Like if this series was just straight up samurai themed mystery I think I would’ve been fine with this thing.
Nothing unusual about Qmir saying Master Sol…. All Jedi in the movies were called that by non Jedi…….even Palpatine said Master Yoda, Master Kenobi etc……..
🌪️ here is probably another unpopular opinion. A Star Wars should just stop trying to create new characters and just go ahead and make stories with characters that over exist in the novels and comic books because that’s a huge source material. They have right now. Trying to create new characters and then trying to, jigsaw them into the world of Star Wars make much sense right now. Unless you jump centuries ahead and leave everything behind and just create a whole new world for Star Wars maybe on the other side of the Galaxy.
🌪️ I think I’m slowly starting to get upset again because I like Star Wars as an idea and as fun fantasy, but when you break logic for the sake of breaking logic, it drives me insane. The fact that for a Jedi, it’s OK if you fight someone in battle and you kill them you’re good but if you strike them down out of anger or revenge then that’s it. You are part of the Darkside and there’s no coming back or the ideas. If you strike someone down in anger that’s it. You can never be part of the light side. You have no choice, but to be a follower of the dark side. I think that is complete bull crap and that’s a thing that they created to force characters to do things without dealing with their emotions. It really is a core ridiculous thing that Star Wars did.
I been hearing some theories about how Jackie and Yord isn’t dead but severely injured. For instance Yord could be just paralyzed from the neck down due to his neck being snap since in some tv shows it shows that if they don’t do it correctly it would leave them paralyzed instead. Which would make Yord the first paralyzed Jedi. As for Jacki I don’t know if her species birth the same way we do but two out of three lightsabers stab just hit her arms so if the third one would be non fatal then she could survived with two badly damaged arms.
🌪️ still going to watch the show the way through because I just wanna see how they’re gonna end this. But I do have to say that as a franchise Star Wars is really difficult to create new stories for because I feel that there is so much stuff written for the universe of Star Wars that everyone is trying to find a link to what’s already been done. The example is basically when Eric where is making comments about the show and then he starts revising books and comics and novels and the history of the Knights of Ren and how they could link that. That’s the problem with Star Wars so much stuff has been put out that people are looking for links for stuff that already exist.
“It’s more than just his arms guys !!!!!!!” 😂 To true, he’s got the next “one” written all over him. Great comp with K Reeves. Great job trying to keep them on track, very funny banter.
perhaps these 4 jedi all had dark-side tendencies, and found a way to lock-away aspects of their own psyche, to conceal it from even themselves. Then they found Osha, who was dark-leaning, and after osha tried to kill Mae (instead of the other way around) they did the same thing to her...
🌪️ I think I’m having trouble getting my point across. The whole base concept of the Jedi, looking for balance and peace with the force and at the same time they are a militant group who uses swords is weird unless you look at them like what the samurai were, but they’re not doing that, so that you want them to be peaceful order but you’re still training your acolytes for combat one doesn’t drive with the other.
Maybe the show is trying to play with the semi sorta nationality of Sol and Qimir. But listen to this far out there scenario if nationality is my reason for this idea. Sol and Qimir maybe related and my far out part is what if there is an age related reason why they look different and they are TWINS like Osha and Mae. Cuz Qimir said what happened to your dark side. I know this is a very very long stretch. But I still feel they are related in some why.
🌪️ oh man, I totally forgot about that whole Jecki scene with osha. If the philosophy is that when something dies, it becomes part of the force and that’s a good thing why is Sol having such a problem with everybody dying unless he has issues with his emotions and he is more clingy than most of the other Jedi. That’s another thing from the beginning is coming off a lot more emotional than any of the other Jedi you’ve seen up to now. All the Jedi are very stoic and focused and have their emotions in check but not Sol.
🌪️ I thought this was going to be like an isolated incident kind of dealt with whatever issues or a couple of Jedi had with whatever this mystery killer thing was, but then it turned into again trying to tell a small little story in this big universe of Star Wars, which they cannot help to do. They just cannot help themselves trying to link something small into the bigger universe of Star Wars and I think that’s where it all went wrong.
I think the 4 Jedi (including Sol) that came to take the twins killed the whole coven. I also like the idea that Osha completed Qimir's test. Overall I cant wait for next Tuesday.
this is not star wars. check out the new star wars game that's coming out called outlaws from i seen there are know jedi in it but you know its star wars. my god People do you know anything about the origin of the jedi. long story short jedi pulls naturally from both the dark and the light. for example mace windu and count duku
Didnt Force heal. I know it kind of looked like he was, but the wound didnt heal over. Think he was just turning her over. Maybe using the Force to determine she was still alive, but dont think you can have Force heal and the wound doesnt heal.
Sith made a deal with Witches having to do with the dyad twins, Jedi found out somehow, tracked them to Brendock where we see Sol try to recruit Osha. Sith instigates fight through witches where they control the Jedi to fight themselves, leading to the destruction of the witches and Sith swoops in for the seemingly stronger twin but the will realize he got the wrong one. Thats all I got so far
The hubris of the jedi and the fsct that they give in to dark side inpulses all the time is a huge theme in this show. It's such a brilliant exploration of why the Jedi Order failed and why they have never been able to completely eradicate the Sith.
My read was Qimir. Saying ‘Sith’ was him commentating on how Jedi are so black and white. He’s ’s using the dark side so the Jedi will think he’s Sith. His healing shows he’s something else right?
You know, as you guys were talking about Force Healing, a thought came to my mind that maybe Disney might have originaly got the idea of Force Healing from the Naruto anime.
"Are they that blind?" Uh, the Jedi didn't recognize that Palpatine was a Sith lord right under their nose. I think hubris is their kryptonite, always.
35:18 yeah, but they’re squashing any other way of looking into the Force because every other group we’ve seen is EVIL. And confronting evil is the destiny of the Jedi.
Hi! Love your coverage and discourse on all topics Star Wars! Stopping in to present a small idea I haven't seen mentioned anywhere. I suspect that Qimir is actually a very young Palpatine. He's not been named Sidious by Palgueis -- IE he has no name. This offers an explanation on why Qimir/Palpatine would have been working with the Witches -- furthermore explains his eventual connection to the witches of Dathomir. Also explains some of his behavior in the Acolyte series. Hiding, and manipulating from the shadows, only difference is he's young and makes the same mistake that Maul did on Courisant prior to Phantom Menace. Theres nothing to say that Palpatine didn't have many "acolytes" prior to Maul. Additionally, they've already augmented canon characters ages -- though in Palpatine's case, it could be explained away that Palgueis knew how, and did keep him alive for significantly longer than he would have normally lived through dark side sorcery.
Again thank you for being a paragon of the Star Wars community! Keep up the amazing work!!
Manny was great being sinister and still throwing in a goofy "Hello". The choreography was spectacular. This should be watched as a double episode Day/Night. Force healing has been in Star Wars video games long before Rise of Skywalker.
OSHA just saw Yord and Jecki killed because of Mae and y’all are confused why she doubles down on the Jedi law and order?
What are you talking about Yord died because of Osha Sol told them to leave Osha brought him back. And Jeckies amd Yord were killed by the man Osha just saved so what are you talking about?
I believe they mean that all these events are happening because of Mae, Qimir used Mae’s past and personal vendetta and Mae, being the dummy she is, followed through it until she found out Osha was alive
@@hawkeyemihawkgettingmoneylord this whole chase is because Mae started killing Jedi. Indara, Torbin, so the Jedi came to this planet to stop her.
What are you talking about?
@@ceezyjeffezy2213 wtf does that have to do with jedi law? She was ready to have Yord kill Mae because she's afraid she couldn't. But now she's willing to let the killer of all her friends live? If she was willing to allow Mae to die why not the person way more evil? And Yord death is on Osha yord and osha were supposed to leave Osha make yord turn back so you cant even put that on Mae.
@@hawkeyemihawkgettingmoneylord wtf are you talking about.
When she asked Yord to kill her they had no idea Mae was having doubts, she was on her way to kill a third Jedi after killing two. They were expecting a confrontation.
Mae wasn’t absolved of the two murders just because her Master turned psycho.
Osha and Yord went back to help Sol and Jecki against a Maniac Sith who Mae brought to the planet. It’s on Mae. To paraphrase Qimir. “Mae brought him here.”
Qimir out there cashing cheques and snapping necks
Best part of the ep or the show so far ...
You just revealed your UK status lol
As soon as I saw them arms, I became a Qimir girl through and through.
He do got some canons attached to them shoulders.
Yesss!!! 😢👀🍿🥰
Sol went to the ship to report the incident. He left the scene as is because the Jedi will want to investigate the scene.
Qimir didnt call himself a Sith. He said that the Jedi would call him a Sith. Not exact;ly the same thing.
nice catch
I think that’s very important, great catch!
Indeed. Earlier today before i came here i wrote same to person in Facebook page about the episode. I guess that person was part of rude Fandom 'Karen' Menace because what i got back was nasty meme 😮💨 I'll restream S01E05 via D+ on saturday evening, but without those 2x 😐 moments 🙂
Unpopular opinion: Qimir should’ve been the protagonist of the Acolyte. No twins. No witches. Just “Qimir” training as a Sith apprentice and navigating the galaxy.
Training as a sith under who?
@@smokeykenobi1653 darth tenebrous...
Just say you don’t want a show with a woman protagonist
Probably not as unpopular as the acolyte is in general. Qimir is by far the most interesting character of the show. It's not even close.
Yeah. Unpopular for a good reason. Sorry you didn't get the toys you wanted for Christmas. I did.
Yord was being realistic about lightsaber combat. The only beings that can really use lightsabers effectively are jedi. For non force users a blaster is much easier to kill with. So the only real experience any jedi has against another lightsaber is dueling another jedi trained by jedi.
Especially in this time period.
Because Qimir refers to Sol as master, maybe Qimir was "recruited/abducted" by the Jedi as a small child and Sol could sense the force and great potential in Qimir. Sol starts to train Qimir as an apprentice but then begins to sense the dark side within him and halts his training without explanation and abandons him, or even tries to unalive him because of the darkness within. Qimir then feels isolated and betrayed by the Jedi and Darth Plagus senses his intense emotions and power and is introduced to the dark side and the way of the Sith. Sol has a hard time recognizing Qimir because his mind has been so corrupted and clouded by the dark side that he is essentially a different person. Or Sol does recognize him and is so full of guilt he cant even admit it to himself.
Just a thought.
He has no Sith origins. When asked what he was he merely said “you would call me a Sith.” It just meant “I don’t fall in line with your bs” and am still going to use his power as he sees fit. As he can’t be a witch, he’s not a Jedi so… I guess you’d call me a Sith.
Meanwhile the shows writer said this story is about the Sith. Stop with the mental gymnastics
Thank you for saying it.
The word usage and it's delivery is interesting and I haven't seen anyone mention it.
@@JBurnz001you got tism if you think it’s mental gymnastics.
@@RelixYGyou don’t have to bring autism into it like it’s a negative…
Agree that just because it’s a show about Sith doesn’t mean Qimir is actually a Sith. It could be about how “modern” Sith came to be, and they aren’t actually connected to the race of Sith that came before? Idk that much about Sith history, but also don’t know what is canon there anymore.
I'm still with @winterso1dier on that one. Qimir does not see himself as a Sith. Just a (dark) force user.
Acknowledging a jedi as a master isn't uncommon. Sidious called Yoda "master Yoda"
This! She got hyper fixated on that and every time I was like no hes just being "respectful" Master Jedi is something that gets thrown around all the time
I’m not saying either way, but the reason sidious was doing that may have been because of his preexisting relationship with Yoda. In both cases, they are using “master” ironically - or maybe sarcastically. Or something. Not sure the word to use there 😅. Just a possible explanation.
When Qimir kills Jecki lon. That was a filipino martial arts move. Kali, also known as Arnis or Eskrima, is the martial art of the Philippines. Kali emphasizes fighting with tools like sticks, knives, swords, improvised weapons, as well as empty hand techniques.
Manny Jacinto is filipino.
Nice. Thanks for the info that's fucking awesome.
thats dope that they know trakata in the philippines
FINALLY somebody mentioned it 👏👏👏. the reveal of Qimir behind weapons that partially hides his face is an Arnis defensive posture. iirc Arnis have already been peppered throughout Star Wars fight scenes for decades, but gained special prominence when lightsaber fighting extended to include 2 weapons instead of just one.
My coworker trains in a class with escrima sticks. Super cool - like nightwing
They used real light-up devices with battery packs in them for this show, so kinda kills Erik’s thing for the choreography around the placement of where the beams “would be” (and also explains why the hilts are thicc hogs)
Osha will kill Sol in the final episode without a weapon and this will be when she completely turns and fulfils her sister's original objective and becomes the Acolyte.
She’s gotta control his mind/get into his head
Sol killed her mom - I wouldn't be mad at it. Jedi had no business on her planet looking for kids to test & take to Coruscant. Torbin apologized cause he knew it was wrong asf
Nailed it
More Unpopular Opinion:
The force healing isn’t really that big of a deal
I mean yeah its just dumb/another dumb addition that they keep shoving in dumb shows so in the grand scheme does it matter when they cant do simple things well.
@@ChrisSmith-tu9buguess what? Instead of being such a constant killjoy that feels the need to comment and complain in every thread. YOU CAN JUST TURN YOUR TV OFF AND NOT WATCH THE SHOW. Incels just can’t let anyone enjoy anything
The wound didnt heal, so not force healing
it was a small wound its not like he stopped her from dying so it didnt matter but thats exactly why I think it does kinda matter as either to point to who he really is or purposely make us think we know who he is
@@andrewurycki168 If critiquing a piece of media is such a killjoy then u probably shouldn't go 2 Rotten Tomatoes 'cuz hardly anything there gets 100%. If u r 1 of those people who say they hate negativity then please don't critique a stranger this way, especially don't call them an incel.
It should be Illegal to have this much fun
Is he really a Sith though? Or is he saying that any Force user who is not a Jedi tends to get lumped under the Sith banner when they may just be a dark Jedi or just a force user who does not adhere to the Jedi dogma.
No telling CLEARLY this show despises Cannon...he probably comes from a colony of Sith and they could be all gay guys having sith babies...At this point theres no limit to the amount of Cannon the writers just ignore to suit whatever jacked up story theyre going for
Idk the RED light saber isn’t a tell? 🤨
Sith is a very specific thing. Thats like hearing im Christian and just lumping me in with Judaism thats saying " ehhh close enough".
But in reality no is completely different
@@hawkeyemihawkgettingmoneylord I mean the dude could be lying but the show is making up its own cannon as it goes...Im sure if they were writing a Muslim character itd be a pig farmer and love making sausages..its so badly farcical while ignoring so much of the other lore no telling whats happening... I imagine they thought him saying you can call me sith because yall cops wont let me be me sounded cool and jived with their whole there is no evil world view and the good guys are the bad guys storylines they love.
@@ChrisSmith-tu9bu What canon is it making up you haven't said a single thing that they've made up. For the love of God just stop watching the show if you don't even know what your talking about
Watched live on TH-cam. Back for seconds 🤣👍
The choreography in this episode was fantastic, one of the best lightsaber battles we have ever seen.
A story focusing on Qimir should have been the direction the show focused on.
Glass half full. Glass half empty. I'm a half full guy but I do realize many of the fandom can only see the top half of the glass that has nothing in it. Sucks to not be able to recognize the fact that there is yummy yum yum in the bottom half of the glass. Typical! and boring...

@@jonathanrodriguez871 LOL. Do you need a hug?
Guys (and Maude). We KNOW he is tied into the story of the witches because of what Osha told Yord. She told him her mother knew how to get inside the heads of the Jedi. Just like Qimir did to Yord. Who tought Qimir? Hmmmmm???????
I just want to give a Shoutout to Stunt Coordinator Mark Ginther, Junchang Lu & Manny Jacinto. Because it can be seen how much Love they put into this episode. The fact this shows that you can kill a Jedi without a weapon (just snap their neck). Also gotta give it to Jecki (Dafne Keen) hopefully the next time we see her drop kick someone she has claws (X23).
The Power of 1, The Power of 2.... the Power of Manny!!!!
Yeah I wish the direction had been a little better but man they really knew their stuff and choreographed some beautiful fight scenes. i thought the same thing with the opening..Too bad the wasted it on such a badly written and directed show but at least they gave us SOMETHING the fans might like.
🎯 AWARD shows NEED to have a STUNT PERSON category. THEY DESERVE!🤩
WHAT'S TV/MOVIES WITHOUT THEM?
I think Qimir and his master were at the ascension ceremony. There are two mysterious figures flanking Aniseya, and you can see their breath, so I don't think they are coven members. I think Qimir's master is actually the one who can force possess people, they just made it appear as if Aniseya was doing it. I think Aniseya would be reluctant to "pull the thread." I think Sol cuts down Aniseya when Kelnacca is possessed, thinking it would sever the tie, but then realized he killed an "innocent" when the force possession tie was not severed.
Damn that's a good theory right there
@@JPSRCE1987 Thank you. I believe this is why Qimir is so preoccupied with mind control/mind reading and wears a helmet that protects him from mind control. His master does it often. This is also how his master kills jedi without a weapon. He possessed other beings that kill the jedi.
Maude Garrett, you are totally awesome. LLAP 🖖
My son and I knew he might be one of the first knights of Ren, who do not follow the rule of two…
I am waiting for the secret Dark Side master to be Mother Abeloth, who is not a Sith Lord, but is far more powerful and dangerous than the majority of Sith Lords that have ever existed. On a tier list of strongest dark side users to ever exist in Star Wars, she would be S-tier and happens to also be female, which is something the showrunners would've definitely been interested in exploring. Smilo Ren also literally has the same smile as Abeloth, and it makes sense that a witch coven with mind magic would be affiliated with Abeloth. One of Abeloth's specialties was mind-controlling Jedi knights, and she was able to turn Jacen Solo into a Sith Lord. Mother Abeloth would also want specifically one male apprentice / acolyte and one female apprentice / acolyte, because she is looking to recreate her Son and Daughter (from her family known as The Ones).
I know a little inside information !!!!May taught him from her mothers powers …..he has her powers now becoming the sith
How come everyone missed WHY Qimir force healed a saber wound on Oesha that she never received before Mae knocked her out?? MAE STABBED OSHA???
That’s right?!? When did she get that wound?!?
Maude, I’m with you. I was ready for my red lightsaber as soon as I saw the arms 🤣
What if Qimir and Sol are brothers separated by the Jedi....
I also noticed that, at times, it seemed as if Qimir was trying not to kill the Jedi. As though - until they saw his face, he wanted to further make the Jedi think something evil, yet unrelated to the Sith was causing their issues.
The amount of time it took Eric to open that lightsaber 😂
Remember in the first episode when Osha complains that there are no other children on Brendok? Looking back, was there more to that line? Does it have a pay-off? Was Qimir also there, perhaps hidden because it was an all-female coven? Is that how Quimir is attached to Mae and Osha and, by extension, to Sol and the other Jedi?
Did you see my theory? I have proven that Qimir is at the temple along with Mae and Osha
A😮
Maybe Qimir was the one that fanned the flames, literally and figuratively.
I think it was just meant to elude they are force made kids soley born for a ceremony
I love Maude so funny 😂
YAAAAS… so glad they played into Manny’s sexiness. Hottieeeeee…. With a body (of work)
Qimir found a pamphlet on the ground that said "So You Want to Be a Sith...?". He opened it, and it had quotes from L.Ron Hubbard, Ayn Rand, and Anton LeVay.... 😅
Imo, Qimir is not really a sith......otherwise he would have responded Darth something...... just a former jedi using the dark side..... proclaiming himself a sith..... no one heard of them in 1000 years........ no big deal to 'use' the name..... who would know...
BUT...... wait until he comes face to face will a real sith......😲....
I remember a while back there was a rumor about Keanu being cast in a SW role for a project.
I fully beleive that it was for the role of Qimir and it was changed to Manny. Given he would have worked a bit with Carrie Anne, it seems like it would have made sense.
Thats the theory im going with, exp since in this role Manny does look a lot like it could have been Keanu
In Legends, one of Luke Skywalker’s descendants practiced force healing ,but in that book (i’m sorry I forget which book it is, but it takes place many decades after the new Jedi order), when he did it in that book force healing was frowned upon as a dark side trait.
Why is everyone mad about Sol leaving the bodies. There needs to be an investigation. It’s a crime scene and the Jedi are essentially police.
There are witnesses… no need to investigate too hard
I agree. Since Mae (actually Osha) has disappeared, he need to take action quickly and he should also report the presence of the Sith as soon as possible.
Uhmnm .. because A.)Either he assumes the Sith is dead and is STILL rushing off the planet for no reason...He, didnt even check to see if the Wookie was still alive B.)He thought Osha was with him but why didn't he go apprehend who he thinks is May. C.)ALL Jedi are force sensitive and Sol is supposed to be this high level guy whos a mind reader yet cant tell theres a switch D.) Why wouldn't you make sure the Sith is dead E.)Why would you leave incredibly rare and dangerous lightsabers all over the woods. I mean they LITERALLY MAKE SUPER WEAPONS out of the crystals that power them..its like leaving Uranium laying around F.)Does this dude not have ANY respect or care for his friends? Would an actual medieval Knight leave a dead comrade's body to be eaten by animals after a battle was over and the enemy assumed eradicated....I mean THE ENORMITY OF THIS BAD WRITING WOULD BE UNPRECEDENTED...if we didn't already have She-Hulk...it is insane about how either incompetent or lazy these people were. Its like a skit show and certain characters are just SUPPOSED to be in certain locations which works in a goofy comedy because it's just comedy bits...this is just scenes without ANY reasoning...if they predecided they wanted certain scenes in a TV show they could have just out-sourced the script to a bunch of high school kids that could brainstorm WHY these people would be at certain places... because as is they never make sense...and if the scenes were oscar worthy maybe it wouldn't be so bad but the scenes are normally boring asf or just disjointed.
Sol can’t move bodies to the spaceship by himself. They need a squad with proper transportation vehicles to carry them out of forest.
didn't Yodi dismiss death as simply rejoining the force - I don't think it would have crossed Sol to give them a proper funeral
Maude is in this, I'm watching.
So all the LIGHTsabers don’t attract the bugs but just that one at the right time does? And he can whoosh away 10 jedis so easily but is helpless to get carried away ? If he has no rules why don’t he just take out his enemies immediately with the force. Crush their heads or just totally cripple them physically?
Sol meet Qimir the day before. At that time Qimir asked Sol not to do any Jedi mind tricks on him.
Qimir was mocking the fact that Sol could not sense the dark side user standing in front of him yesterday.
Qimir is taunting this fact and provides another clue, when he refuses to take off his helmet, stating this wouldallow sol to do Jedi mind tricks.
The main reason he would not take his mask off was he needed to hide his identity and it gave him an advantage in a light saber duel.
I don't understand the focus on force healing. It's been a thing in Star Wars since some of the earliest games and books. Just because most aren't taught or can't use the ability doesn't mean it hasn't been there for the shows and movies to use.
I love that they used cortosis, but i hate they didn't explain it for the new viewers that might not have read any books over the years.
Really with the spoiler thumbnail? I know we all suspected it, but come on.
Sol knew that wasn’t Osha when she didn’t react to Jecki’s dead body.
They set up in episode one that Sol knows about Osha's tattoo. That is how he will know.
The writing isn't that deep, he knows Sol from the apothecary and that's it
Is Brandon really Vince Vaughn?
It feels like Qimir was somehow on Brandoc... Probably way off but what if he was the Witches 1st attempt at creating a Force child, but he lacked balance and was all darkside... So when they tried again they had twins in order to create balance between light and dark?
I suppose Osha saying that her mother also knew how to get in a Jedi's head might have just been a red herring though.
I know lots of fans are saying Qimir is the apprentice, that he has a master, but why would his entire goal be finding a new apprentice? And he has master powers, he went through jedi master, Knights, padawans, so out numbered, not alot of sith apprentices that I can think of, could have done that, he just seems way more of a master sith to me, even if he shouldnt be in this show, but this show is changing some lore, wouldnt suprise me if they dont use a big name sith, and just created a new one for the show...
What was with the random jump cuts to the sith dude into different locations, can he teleport? They didn't highlight that well enough for me to understand what was going on, is he nightcrawler or batman
Watched this live and it was funny cuz Maude was out there cosplaying as a stick in the mud but this time the big boss came onto set and he's enjoying the show so we got a lot of facial expressions this episode lol.
I did not like OWK. That's actually a bad show in my opinion. To me this show is good as hell but a bit flawed. It's kinda like those in love see no flaws. Fall out of love and you nitpick all flaws. I'm somewhere in between where I see the flaws but I refuse to give a flying fuck about them? Kinda thing.
This show is like being at the beach and having a good time. I can toss on my headphones and ignore the idiots making all the noise and laugh at all the people like Maude just actively trying to have a bad time in a fun spot. A bee might buzz by and piss me off but that doesn't ruin my day. "You had a bad moment not a bad day." is how I try to view negative experiences.
You're obviously gonna feel what you feel but ... that has to suck for you cuz I'm literally just happy to watch a pretty good series visiting new planets in a new time period. Everything is new and can be broken down and bits of legends get brought in so I get to watch hours of extra content covering those topics as well. I am getting a LOT out of this series and it's fucking great.
That outweighs pacing or awkward delivery on some lines or whatever small stuff I'll notice and laugh at but ultimately just... not care about. It's not the important part about the story being told and intentionally giving it weight is a choice.
Your qoute "You had a bad moment not a bad day” is spot on. 🤌🏾

Regarding "everyone having healing now" (not a direct quote)... Don't forget, we've seen healing right from the beginning: Obi Wan healed Luke after Luke was attacked by the Sand People. We also saw Sidious heal Anakin on Mustafar after the fight with Obi Wan.
I think the Vern whip shot is gonna take place on Brendok. I think it’s all leading back to there. I am expecting two flashback episodes, showing off Mae’s, Qimir’s and Sol’s POVs. Last one is gonna be Vern coming in and dying. Qimir will live, but only him.
Love from Belgium 🇧🇪 ❤ Thank you for the love on TH-cam ❤
Maude Squad represent
He doesn't say "im a Sith", he says "I have no name, but the Jedi, like you, might call me Sith". He might be saying he's a Sith here, but another way to look at it is that he's saying he's something else, but because the Jedi are so black and white, they dont leave room for something else, so they would just call him Sith even though that's not what he is.
Yes good question, how can Sol leave Jekky's body on the ground, left for the wolves? Fighting was good but writing is horrendous.
Sol definitely looked uncertain about Osha (Mae) when he looked at her.
Remember when Mae came back to him after switching places and cutting her own hair, Sol asked her “Where’s your sister?” Not where’s Mae at?
So he definitely has to know something is different.
It sounds like theyre eluding that he knows Sal killed everyone for whatever reason. I think the witches thought the jedi were burning the place down and forced them into a conflict that led to them killing them all. They also mentioned he used the same technique as Oshas mom. Also Sal said he can tell hes no jedi basically saying hes had no jedi training. Id bet the witch that carried the twins in her womb lived and decided to have another baby but this time it was a boy and raised him to be a Sith and exact her revenge on the Jedi.
I think he was in the woods on Brendok wispering into Mae's ears.
@@MrLee-cy1pw oooo good one
I always knew I couldnt trust Sal from the hit tv show Impractical Jokers
@@snowwhite1494 bro he just cancelled his pods I'm actually upset
11:24 but he exposed himself! He intentionally revealed himself to the Jedi! Like there’s no reason for him to do that, it doesn’t make sense. “Mae was gonna betray him and tell the Jedi everything.” Tell them what? It’s already been established that she doesn’t know anything! She doesn’t know his name, she’s never seen his face, what does she actually know?
Like that’s the whole point of him using Mae as this assassin so that he could remain hidden per the Rule of Two. Nobody knew who he was. Even Sol asks him “why reveal yourself?” And he says “well, I didn’t wear a mask.” But that’s not what Sol was asking. Even if the helmet had stayed on the Jedi know there’s a Sith running around! In canon comics Maul uses his lightsaber a few times to fight people in the Coruscant underworld, and Sideous nearly murders him. Because if the Sith reveal their presence too early the Jedi might, oh I dunno, institutes some preventative measures that might stop the Sith from infiltrating the Senate and dissolving it into “the first, Galactic, EMPIRE!” And just ruin hundreds of years of Sith plotting.
But now Darth Qi’mir is just openly out here? It’s just not consistent.
8:54 but Jecki isn’t supposed to be this combat master. She’s a Padawan, and a low level Padawan at that. The Sith, even a Sith Apprentice, is supposed to be significantly more powerful than even Jedi Knights. And Qi’mir just slaughtered 6 or 7 other Jedi Knights with ease. But this little girl Padawan makes him struggle? He should annihilate her. It shouldn’t even be a thought. It should be effortless. He should cut through her like it’s nothing.
The only time we’ve seen a Padawan defeat a Sith was Obi Wan defeating (sorta) Maul during Phantom Menace. But that wasn’t anything to do with Obi Wan being more powerful than Maul because remember, Maul won the duel portion of that fight. It was only when Maul allowed his hubris to distract and blind him that Obi Wan was able to get the upper hand for a split second and cut Maul down.
Even Anakin as a Padawan was easily dispatched by Count Dooku. And Anakin is supposed to be one of the most proficient swordsmen the Jedi have ever produced. And he couldn’t defeat a Sith.
But we’re supposed to believe this little Padawan held her own against this Sith?
But he did! I think those 3 light sabers wounds showed that he was far superior. Also, I think he a little more respect for her cause she was loyal. She was a good fighter and adept in the force even more so than Yord. I don’t think her “rank” was that important. But again I was never offended by so called Mary Sue or Gary Sue characters. It’s fiction. It’s a story
@@jenniferwilson2217 yeah, he killed her. But he struggled. It took him much longer and she was the one besides Sol to get some hits in on him.
Her rank absolutely has something to do with it. Because he has significantly more training than she does. She’s a student. She’s learning. She’s supposed to have less training than the multiple Jedi knights he’s slaughtering right before that.
She shouldn’t do as well as she did
He is not a Sith.
@@SIMON_SAYS_SO he is a Sith. The actor has said so, the writers have said so, Lesley has said so. He’s a Sith.
Am I the only one that thought child Osha was a jerk? Because they did belong to that coven of witches, but they were always kind and loving to them, so Osha exposing them to the Jedi was total betrayal. Also… I think those Jedi did something shady af in that flashback and killed them in cold blood, because Master Torbin wasn’t killed. Mae gave him poison and told him she was giving him a chance to repent for what he did. He willingly took it and apologized to Mae as he did… so WHAT DID THEY DO?!
My guess is that like many dark side force users he was a mixed-up kid tormented about this or that and some enterprising Sith master came upon him and decide to recruit and turn him to the dark side and train him to help fulfill their personal agenda. E.g. Sidious with Maul, Dooku (admittedly no longer a kid) and Anakin, Dooku with Asajj, Maul trying to do this with Ezra, Sidious/Snoke with Ben, Ben trying to do this with Rey, etc. It's not that complicated and the process is well-known at this point. It's probably how Sidious was recruited when he was a kid. The real question is who recruited and turned him, and how that relates to the broader SW story line and the events that led up to the Jedi's fall 100 years later.
In my honest opinion, Sol is Darth Tenebrous. Qimir is a nobody early Apprentice of Tenebrous. And Osha becomes Darth Tenebrous new Apprentice by killing Qimir after Qimir kills Mae.
This was the plan all along from Episode 3 when Sol/Tenebrous starts his plan to remove Qimir amny years back when he takes on osha as a Padawan while he is hiding in plane sight as a Jedi.
52:50 and that’s why this show is bad! Because the Jedi are supposed to be good! And the Sith are supposed to be bad! 53:15 Qi’mir isn’t “choosing freedom.” He’s evil. He’s murdering people. He’s a Sith, he wants to rule, he wants to oppress, he wants control.
🌪️ that’s always been the big debate about Star Wars in reference to what maude was saying at the end. When we started with Star Wars with the first three movies all you had was the last Jedi versus the last Sith so it was easy to set up good versus evil no problem. Even in the sequel series with ren it was still leaning towards good versus evil as far as the force was concerned because you had ren vs Palpatine. The province starts with the prequel series where you have the Jedi shown as a religious/political force within the world of the existing government. That’s where things got complicated and a little gray area. You literally established a religious organization involved with government and everybody knows that is a very bad idea unless that was the whole point that George Lucas was going for in the movies. If he was trying to establish that it’s a very bad thing to mix church and state because it can lead to bad things then OK if that was his original intent, I don’t know. I’m not a Star Wars, I’m just approaching it from the movies going crazy with the novels and comics and stuff. I’m just going by what I’ve seen of the trilogies.
🌪️ oh yeah, here’s another problem. I got with Star Wars in general now. Lucas was inspired in originally by Dune for some of the ideas for his Star Wars and also he introduced concepts of sword and fantasy in space and a bunch of other stuff basically he mix together a bunch of genres into one movie. I’m a one hand he has themes Of monks and orders, which is a religious theme, then you have your samurai theme because of the light sabers, Then you have your war theme with the rebels and the Empire. It’s like he was leaning towards one way, but then kind of threw a bunch of other stuff in there cause it was cool. Like if this series was just straight up samurai themed mystery I think I would’ve been fine with this thing.
Nothing unusual about Qmir saying Master Sol…. All Jedi in the movies were called that by non Jedi…….even Palpatine said Master Yoda, Master Kenobi etc……..
🌪️ here is probably another unpopular opinion. A Star Wars should just stop trying to create new characters and just go ahead and make stories with characters that over exist in the novels and comic books because that’s a huge source material. They have right now. Trying to create new characters and then trying to, jigsaw them into the world of Star Wars make much sense right now. Unless you jump centuries ahead and leave everything behind and just create a whole new world for Star Wars maybe on the other side of the Galaxy.
🌪️ I think I’m slowly starting to get upset again because I like Star Wars as an idea and as fun fantasy, but when you break logic for the sake of breaking logic, it drives me insane. The fact that for a Jedi, it’s OK if you fight someone in battle and you kill them you’re good but if you strike them down out of anger or revenge then that’s it. You are part of the Darkside and there’s no coming back or the ideas. If you strike someone down in anger that’s it. You can never be part of the light side. You have no choice, but to be a follower of the dark side. I think that is complete bull crap and that’s a thing that they created to force characters to do things without dealing with their emotions. It really is a core ridiculous thing that Star Wars did.
I been hearing some theories about how Jackie and Yord isn’t dead but severely injured. For instance Yord could be just paralyzed from the neck down due to his neck being snap since in some tv shows it shows that if they don’t do it correctly it would leave them paralyzed instead. Which would make Yord the first paralyzed Jedi. As for Jacki I don’t know if her species birth the same way we do but two out of three lightsabers stab just hit her arms so if the third one would be non fatal then she could survived with two badly damaged arms.
🌪️ still going to watch the show the way through because I just wanna see how they’re gonna end this. But I do have to say that as a franchise Star Wars is really difficult to create new stories for because I feel that there is so much stuff written for the universe of Star Wars that everyone is trying to find a link to what’s already been done. The example is basically when Eric where is making comments about the show and then he starts revising books and comics and novels and the history of the Knights of Ren and how they could link that. That’s the problem with Star Wars so much stuff has been put out that people are looking for links for stuff that already exist.
“It’s more than just his arms guys !!!!!!!” 😂
To true, he’s got the next “one” written all over him. Great comp with K Reeves.
Great job trying to keep them on track, very funny banter.
Noticed that when mae and osha hug, the sun is rising behind mae and its still shadow behind osha… idk if im just looking too much into it tho
perhaps these 4 jedi all had dark-side tendencies, and found a way to lock-away aspects of their own psyche, to conceal it from even themselves. Then they found Osha, who was dark-leaning, and after osha tried to kill Mae (instead of the other way around) they did the same thing to her...
🌪️ I think I’m having trouble getting my point across. The whole base concept of the Jedi, looking for balance and peace with the force and at the same time they are a militant group who uses swords is weird unless you look at them like what the samurai were, but they’re not doing that, so that you want them to be peaceful order but you’re still training your acolytes for combat one doesn’t drive with the other.
Maybe the show is trying to play with the semi sorta nationality of Sol and Qimir. But listen to this far out there scenario if nationality is my reason for this idea. Sol and Qimir maybe related and my far out part is what if there is an age related reason why they look different and they are TWINS like Osha and Mae. Cuz Qimir said what happened to your dark side. I know this is a very very long stretch. But I still feel they are related in some why.
🌪️ oh man, I totally forgot about that whole Jecki scene with osha. If the philosophy is that when something dies, it becomes part of the force and that’s a good thing why is Sol having such a problem with everybody dying unless he has issues with his emotions and he is more clingy than most of the other Jedi. That’s another thing from the beginning is coming off a lot more emotional than any of the other Jedi you’ve seen up to now. All the Jedi are very stoic and focused and have their emotions in check but not Sol.
🌪️ I thought this was going to be like an isolated incident kind of dealt with whatever issues or a couple of Jedi had with whatever this mystery killer thing was, but then it turned into again trying to tell a small little story in this big universe of Star Wars, which they cannot help to do. They just cannot help themselves trying to link something small into the bigger universe of Star Wars and I think that’s where it all went wrong.
I think the 4 Jedi (including Sol) that came to take the twins killed the whole coven.
I also like the idea that Osha completed Qimir's test.
Overall I cant wait for next Tuesday.
this is not star wars. check out the new star wars game that's coming out called outlaws from i seen there are know jedi in it but you know its star wars. my god People do you know anything about the origin of the jedi. long story short jedi pulls naturally from both the dark and the light. for example mace windu and count duku
Didnt Force heal. I know it kind of looked like he was, but the wound didnt heal over. Think he was just turning her over. Maybe using the Force to determine she was still alive, but dont think you can have Force heal and the wound doesnt heal.
Sith made a deal with Witches having to do with the dyad twins, Jedi found out somehow, tracked them to Brendock where we see Sol try to recruit Osha. Sith instigates fight through witches where they control the Jedi to fight themselves, leading to the destruction of the witches and Sith swoops in for the seemingly stronger twin but the will realize he got the wrong one.
Thats all I got so far
The hubris of the jedi and the fsct that they give in to dark side inpulses all the time is a huge theme in this show. It's such a brilliant exploration of why the Jedi Order failed and why they have never been able to completely eradicate the Sith.
My read was Qimir. Saying ‘Sith’ was him commentating on how Jedi are so black and white. He’s ’s using the dark side so the Jedi will think he’s Sith. His healing shows he’s something else right?
You know, as you guys were talking about Force Healing, a thought came to my mind that maybe Disney might have originaly got the idea of Force Healing from the Naruto anime.
