      Nah, if they found out that he is dead, the jedi would have had one more reason to actually arrest Qimir, because being a criminal, making the poison that killed a jedi master and him being their only tangible lead to Mae and her master (at that time) obviously wasn't enough for them to do that, for plot reasons. I suppose this was another hint that the jedi are arrogant? Guess the showrunners don't know the difference between arrogance and brain damage.

    The lightsaber fight is actually laughably bad if you examine it beyond, "fast movement looks fancy."

    Absolutely agree. The claim this is the "best one" is total B.S. It's just as awful as the rest. The useless, disposable jedi with their nonsensical decisions and incompetent fighting are just awful. The sabre proof helmet, the fact the sith guy can throw them around using the force (jedi are supposed to be able to block this with their own powers, which is why you don't see it in the original movies), and so many more silly things ...there is zero consistency. The claim that this one is somehow better is just wrong.

Seth had only been her apprentice for a few days. She would sense him if he was in close proximity, as she would ANY individual who possessed a powerful affinity for the force...".

    Andor, Rogue One, Jedi Fallen Order and its sequel are the only Star Wars I’m still invested in at this point. While flawed in parts, they are the only films and series that respect the lore, have compelling characters and writing while keeping nostalgia to a minimum and focused on compelling story telling. The rest is, at best, terrible fan fiction or at worst the Acolyte and the Sequels which are determined to break the franchise, fuel culture wars and insult the lore. For me these films and series simply don’t exist.
