Ngl that choreography was lit. It was kinda refreshing to see that they did new stuff with live-action lightsaber duels. This deserved praise. It felt like it really was an entirely different era of combat (in terms of martial arts)
I fully agree on that, they did a great job on that. i felt like the first 4 episodes were a bit boring also bad written but not nec bad tho they made up for it in eps 5
Qimir is my most favorite Sith Lord. He breaks the dumb trope of them being broody unemotional psychos, and actually has a personality outside being a Sith.
Yeah, and of course most people hated it cause they just can’t deal with something different. They blamed Qimir’s lines in this scene on bad writing, but it’s very in character for him
@@Tradetek1 there were people who used it, just not often. Cad Bane used a cortosis bullet to kill Ord Ennicence in Legends. But during the prequel era it had become rather rare and expensive
Hmm, I have to admit, the guy playing the Sith seems to be pretty good, I like the dark humor he brings, reminiscent of Palpatine and Vader without being a copy, not bad. Overall, I'm not all that impressed by the show, but I'll praise what's praiseworthy. Plus I liked the reintroduction of cortosis.
I got HEAVY Obi-Wan vibes when the padawan saved Mae. And i’m not even sure why. Something about the way she landed with that downward slice??? Someone please help me remember what that resembled!
This is better than Palpatine vs. Jedi, as with The Senate fighting the Jedi, they stood around like idiots, jobbing in the most painfully obvious manner possible. But here? The Jedi put up a fight, but still get killed, actually making it clear that Qimir is a threat because his opponents are competent.
Qimir saying he needs to kill everyone there, because he was exposed .... COULD also be the reason why he wants every Jedi killed who were there on Brendok 16 years ago. You might ask why didnt he just do it earlier? Because 1 man going around killing 4 jedi who were all there during the Brendok incident is gonna tip the republic off, and make them wanna search for him. So he coulve manipulated Osha to do what he wants. Finish off the jedi who were there on Brendok stopping his plans, to do something serious on Brendok. My theory has been that Qimir was planninh something bad on Brendok using the witches, and the jedi stopped him
My guess is that plagueis was behind oshas creation as an experiment. When the jedi messed it all up he sent Qimir to clean it up using Mai as a tool to not risk discovery.
@@JTM610 Well I think the characters are forgettable, the only one who stands out me is Master Sol. Episode 3 was a total cringe fest. Mae's motivation is wack. First she wants revenge on the Jedi for a fire she started, then when she sees that Osha is alive, she switches sides and wants to turn herself into the Jedi but then she goes back on that. Sol can't sense it's Mae disguised as Osha. So much dumb shit happens.
Correct, I've changed it now. I just didn't want to spoil the gender of the Sith Lord since at the time of upload not everyone saw the episode and many were theorizing Mother Koral to be the Sith... hope that makes sense.
@@Deadpool-ts3tq First time on the internet? The Acolyte is being hate bombed. Now is all the controversy warranted? No. But many people do hate the show. What better way to bring them back than to kill off everyone they hated? You might like the character(s), but many do not. I think this is now a thing Hollywood does. They play with the emotions of fans for free publicity and then bring them back later. 100% abusive. We all know the next show after the Acolyte is going to get raving reviews by these same fans hating the Acolyte.
@@CameronKiesser Yeah, "The Acolyte", not Jecki All those "haters" that for some reason see every episode minute 1 it launches just to puke don't even know who is she, but for those who actually got invested on the character and the actreess, no one is hating on Jecki
Just like marvel and dc superheroes, the jedi...with all of their powers,...just prediminantly fight hand-to-hand or with the saber. Given all that power, they don't use it. Both of them could EASILY kill him if they worked together...if it was not a made for movie fight
Neither did dooku it depends how much they are letting the dark side flow through them. He could just be an exceptionally good fighter only tapping into the dark side at that moment
Here’s another thing the Sith Lord besides not having yellow eyes something tells me he’s the apprentice of someone much more powerful and deadlier with a lightsaber hence why he needs a acolyte a pupil so he may fufill his role in the rule of two in order to become master he must destroy the previous one
My thought at the series beginning was he was a Knight of Ren, but either the group REALLY degraded over the 150 years between this and the movies that shalt not be named, or I was wrong about his connection to the force sensitive anarchist biker gang we know about. If he really is a Sith and not just name dropping cause he thinks Sith equals Dark Side, I don't think he's from the rule of two, it's more likely he's from one of the Sith worshipping cults that Sidious would later bend to his will Edit: sooooooo, yeah. This comment aged like milk in an air fryer
Dude I'm offended by your comment master sol is the one who is holding up this show right now. and he doesn't just stand around he protects and defends like a Jedi should.
When sol attacked qimir. qimir said it "wasn't very Jedi of him" so sol through his lightsaber and let go of his anger. Also when sol was fighting qimir with jecki the cortorsis on qimirs helmet shorted out his lightsaber and jecki had already gone ahead to fight qimir so he wasn't much help. And yord was a Jedi knight who could take care of him self I see no reason sol had to interfere with yord fighting qimir.
Not when they are focused and plus. He’d have his force abilities protecting him and he’d sense the danger bc he’s honed for battle so he won’t be fooled so easily. The only time is when he’s too focused on something and distracted to sense someone about to use a force ability on him. But ngl, the snapping the neck scene was satisfying 😂
Sorry but did he just break the lightsaber dueling law ???? Every sith and Jedi knows you can’t be in the middle of the fight and just turn your saber on and off like that to get past the others defenses and if you can do that it make ALOT of other fights dumb if when they where locked in sabers the other could just deactivate it to go though the others and reactivate it when you can stab them
Ngl that choreography was lit. It was kinda refreshing to see that they did new stuff with live-action lightsaber duels. This deserved praise. It felt like it really was an entirely different era of combat (in terms of martial arts)
I fully agree on that, they did a great job on that. i felt like the first 4 episodes were a bit boring also bad written but not nec bad tho they made up for it in eps 5
I will fault this show for a LOT of things, the lightsaber duels is not one of them
Not going to lie but this episode was some of the best disney star wars ive seen
Qimir is my most favorite Sith Lord. He breaks the dumb trope of them being broody unemotional psychos, and actually has a personality outside being a Sith.
100%!!!!
Yeah, and of course most people hated it cause they just can’t deal with something different. They blamed Qimir’s lines in this scene on bad writing, but it’s very in character for him
He played the part of the dumbass thug so well, even Jedi Masters failed their Insight checks on him.
Same! I also love how cheeky and sarcastic he is.
Sol: Why risk discovery?
Qimir: Well I...I did wear a mask.
Him making a Jedi kabob out of Jecki and then snapping that other guy's neck... damn.
Ikr so Fricking Brutal 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💜🖤💜🖤! That mask scared the living shit out of me!🙈🙈🙈!!
No kidding. He was actually trying to kill Jedi. I appreciated this episode.
Well he didn’t make a kabob out of her, he did that with the unnamed Jedi
That helmet had to have been made of cortosis. Because only cotorsis metal can short out a lightsaber blade upon impacting it
Logical choice for an individual who's main enemies use lightsabers
Looks like u know the lore, do u know why no one used it during the prequel era?
It's more popular with sith tech, it's really old and really obscure
@@Tradetek1 there were people who used it, just not often. Cad Bane used a cortosis bullet to kill Ord Ennicence in Legends. But during the prequel era it had become rather rare and expensive
@@Tradetek1 Cortosis is one of the rarest known materials

have you seen the clone wars ? Perhaps when he fights against Maul and Savage during Hondo's pirates civil war

A hidden Light Dagger on the handle. That’s very clever.
It’s a shoto blade
@nickmiller9910 like a samurai has two blades.
@ yes
I like that Qimir is ruthless and unforgiving, one of the best fight choreographies.
This is a top 5 live action duel … he is instantly my new favorite Sith
This the type of lightsaber choreography I hope they input in Ahsoka S2. This was lit
Only after catching the Kylo Ren's theme beats throughout the episode
do I now notice they also play in the title sequence at 0:02
1:48 he is actually right a battle is no place for a child
1:09-1:10-1:12-1:16 And I thought General Grievous was brutal.
Well...I did wear a mask 😂😂
He is Absolutely my new favorite Sith

I may have some problems with this show, but I must admit, the battle was great.
The fights were amazing
As much as I dislike this show, I will give credit where it's due. Qimir is cold af. Great choreography.
I get it not being super interesting or a masterpiece but dislike?

@@PortugueseBadman many of those things were already explained, has that changed your opinion?
Sith lord reveals HIMSELF
Correct, I've changed it now. I just didn't want to spoil the gender of the Sith Lord since at the time of upload not everyone saw the episode and many were theorizing Mother Koral to be the Sith... hope that makes sense.
Jecki: (gaining the upper hand)
Qimir: Okay, time to end this before she ends *me*
0:24 she could have killed him but chose to kick lmao
Am I the only one who gets Orochimaru vibes from this guy
Anyone else enjoy the simple, Lucas-style dialogue here?
who is the jedi with the blue saber ???
You make a controversial hated show then you bring everyone back when the bad guy kills all your hated protagonists. Works every time.
Sorry, how was Jecki hated? But for sure made an emotional impact

A SITH LORD?????????
They shouldve added the sith eyes on him.
1:38 Sol..😢

He's no Sith Lord, doesnt have the yellow eyes indicating their connection with the Dark Side, but he is a Dark Side Force user.
Neither did dooku it depends how much they are letting the dark side flow through them. He could just be an exceptionally good fighter only tapping into the dark side at that moment
Here’s another thing the Sith Lord besides not having yellow eyes something tells me he’s the apprentice of someone much more powerful and deadlier with a lightsaber hence why he needs a acolyte a pupil so he may fufill his role in the rule of two in order to become master he must destroy the previous one
@pvtwalllllly Thats why I said Dark Side Force user. It doesn't make him a true Sith hence why Maul called Dooku a Sith Pretender.
@@talon532thank you! I was just about to bring that up 😂
@talon532 Doesn’t matter Dooku was more powerful than Maul regardless.
this was better than all sequels and disney shows(not mandalorian) combined
actually i tought this show would be a boring show. i didn't even thought of this massacre and awesome fights.
no
1:12 Padawan Jecki was killed by Qimir the Sith lord.!!
Master Sol was freaked out cause the Sith lord Qimir killed his Padawan.??
Osha saw what happened to Padawan Jecki.!!
We know....

July 20, 2024
My theory is Qimir the Sith who Laughs is the First Ren
I will be the only one but. I did’nt like the show, but i love the antisaber helmet and the fight… even if qui gon and hobi vs maul is unreachable
Best "sith"
i like hows you losers thought the sith was gonna be a huge character like young palpatine lmao. Turns out you were all wrong again
0:14
Gotta love the duality of fans of first shitting on this series, but after this episode literally sucking it off
"literally sucking it off" are we in the same universe here? I have heard nothing but (in my opinion quite unjustified) hatred for this show.
Shouldn't reveal so fast eh... Should keep as mystery first... Then it will be so much more syok to enjoy...
Everyone was convinced Qimir was the sith The hints were very obvious if you re watch every Qimir scenes thinking he is the master
@@grand_admiral_henrich4416Master? Maybe to Mae…
He’s an apprentice to another Sith. He needs a pupil so he can overthrow his own .
What's up with Disney hiring practices?
Wtf happen to sta r wars why the helmet did not destroy wtf?
Jedi Sol is the worst Jedi ever. He just stands around and watches people die.
Dude I'm offended by your comment master sol is the one who is holding up this show right now. and he doesn't just stand around he protects and defends like a Jedi should.
he also reminds me of qui gon. Explain what your problem with him is and maybe I will respect your opinion and not "he just stands around."
@@EliSha-k6p he's just watching when his Padawan is fighting the Sith. And just watching when Yord gets killed.
@@EliSha-k6p he didn't do force push or use any abilities at all...

Also when sol was fighting qimir with jecki the cortorsis on qimirs helmet shorted out his lightsaber and jecki had already gone ahead to fight qimir so he wasn't much help. And yord was a Jedi knight who could take care of him self I see no reason sol had to interfere with yord fighting qimir.
SO the jedi master can;t just use his power to fling the Sith lord back? Just a joke
Not when they are focused and plus. He’d have his force abilities protecting him and he’d sense the danger bc he’s honed for battle so he won’t be fooled so easily.
The only time is when he’s too focused on something and distracted to sense someone about to use a force ability on him.
But ngl, the snapping the neck scene was satisfying 😂
Rodriguez Brenda Harris Helen Young Angela
ANd that is what passes for a Sith now? 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Come on they couldn't possibly do better than that?
Sorry but did he just break the lightsaber dueling law ???? Every sith and Jedi knows you can’t be in the middle of the fight and just turn your saber on and off like that to get past the others defenses and if you can do that it make ALOT of other fights dumb if when they where locked in sabers the other could just deactivate it to go though the others and reactivate it when you can stab them
Banite Sith play dirty. There's a reason he wears cortosis to confuse Jedi and disable their lightsabers.
Far from being a Sith lord
For a WOKE Disney SW show to have a male the Sith Lord instead of a woman makes me wonder what is the point of this show.
The protagonist is female so
@@Tradetek1 Yes the MC is a woman but she random not a Sith Lord.
@@fliplife67 she was about to be it’s literally said in this scene
@@Tradetek1 Overall this show isn’t as bad as the rumors has it to be.
@@fliplife67 is it? I don’t have Disney plus so I never watched it and I honestly don’t plan to. All the Jedi are gonna die anyways
Great episode this puts Andor least favorite star wars show. Please dont waste money for a season 2 it really sucks
Amo a star wars. Pero a su fandom no.
