Agree with your theory. I recently finished the Plagueis novel and when I heard Qimir say “you may call me Sith,” I started thinking he was illegitimate and discarded by the real Sith master and apprentice. I hope they keep the Muun and Bith species intact.
They won't, these Star Wars shows don't have the ability to write "Alien" characters, if the Acolyte even goes into the Plagueis territory and uses them as characters with relevant screen time, they will be made into human minorities. I personally see Plagueis being a woman, because behind every great man (Palpatine) is a Woman!
Well the Sith are by no means boy scouts. If he was "discarded" by a Sith Master, wouldn't the Sith Master just kill him (and ensure he is actually dead) rather than just "discarding" him and risking their discovery? If I wanted to stay in stealth, I probably would ensure there isn't somebody floating around who knows about me who might spill my secret.

THANK YOU! Ive said it for weeks now. I also think the teeth on the mask is similar to Venoms in Spiderman and also he made poison for Mae which is handmade venom. Bosh
That Theory was what I always kinda assumed. I thought that he himself was an acolyte who either needed to kill Jedi without a weapon to become a full time apprentice ( manipulating Maye- is a way of killing without a weapon) or he had already been cast aside.
Would love to see Tenebrous and Plageuis. One thing I wish was different in the Acolyte is they haven’t showed many aliens that look sufficiently different than a human (Bith, Rodian, Ithorian, Muun, etc); most of the Jedi are all humans (except the Green skinned one and Jecki; but they really just have makeup and there’s no puppet / mask). Similarly how in the Kenobi show they made the Grand Inquistor just have white makeup instead of making him look like the guys on Utapau in episode 3. Using actual masks / prosthetics
Pretty much everything about Venamis (and Tenebrous) comes from James Luceno's 2012 "Darth Plagueis" novel, which is now Legends material and not part of the current canon.
Gotta read legends. Ice been knowing how this story would go down since the first trailer. Obviously some kinks were added, but even those seem heavily informed by Legends content. We'll see how these last 2 episodes play out
I too like the idea he is not a Sith but a fallen Jedi/padawan or something else. Seems that the only people that would know about Sith at this time would be Jedi, Sith , or Witches. A bit camp to burn the Witches thought. I feel like the idea we would know who all the Sith are in Cannon is weird. Not to mention all the force users that are out there in a whole galaxy. It is fun to speculate but I often have to remind myself to let the storyteller tell their story.
Sadly, you're assuming the writers actually know the lore to for this to be a possibility. They're a bunch of hacks who were told to actually not watch the old movies or get familiar with the lore.
I agree with the title however I do not agree with the subject matter in the video nor do I believe he was trained by Tenebrous. They said there would be no larger characters in The Acolyte. Mundi is the most we are getting so I am going to have to figure he either started down the Darkside alone and bumped into Sith artifacts and training material (Hence the cortosis) or was trained as a Jedi for a time and then left to figure his own way which included finding a Sith of some sort and training with them. I know the purple whip carrying woman has something to do with it, maybe she turned and taught him and then somehow came back to the light and ditched him. It would make so much sense that she was a Sith Acolyte or assassin, infiltrating the Jedi ranks to see what they have and what's going on.
Have you ever heard the tragedy of Qimir the “Venamis”? It’s a sith legend. Qimir wore a Cortosis helmet that could short out lightsabers and he also stabbed 4 Jedi, one of them was a padawan who he stabbed 3 times just to piss off one of the Jedi masters.
I’m just happy that he Is skill not only in lightsaber but also manipulate in such a way that you haven’t seen since add ting so from knight old republic after all, he says there’s a way of drugging them gassing them lust impatient and all that if he can just combine all that with much more, I believe you can be more
Tenabrous wouldn’t train qimir though. He did not like humans. His entire plan centered around taking over the body of his apprentice as well in the later years, which is why he trained his second bith apprentice.
I say he is a Fallen Jedi who was either partly trained by a false master, or found a Sith holocron after he fell and learned how to bleed his crystal. He has some very powerful skills and aspects of the dark side, but he is notably completely missing others, such as Sith lightning (Plagueis taught this to Sidious some years in), creating fear in others via the force and more, while being able to sense thoughts, and more like force glide to meet the jedi. 16 years with an apprentice, and all he could muster in her was a lot of skill with a knife and a kind of assassins skill in the force. He could not pass on the right skills because he did not have many of them himself, even as he had MUCH more power. He is like an incomplete puzzle with several of the needed pieces, but clearly missing others. This is why he dances around the proper terms and titles. He doesnt have much, or any knowledge of several aspects of Sith life.
I wish that this theory would be true but honestly I highly doubt that the people who are in charge of the acolyte are going to incorporate this. After all everyone who was recruited to make the acolyte ( including the writers, producers, directors, and even the cast ) haven't ever seen any of the original 6 star wars movies, or any of the shows, or even read any of the books or graphic novels, so it's wishful thinking.
While this may be an good theory, I do question one thing. Supposedly Plagues is/was the Sith master to Palpatine, right? Yet The Acolyte series takes place 100 years before Episode 1 (about 110 years before Ep 2). So, how young would Plagues be then if he was in The Acolytes time? For that mater, what about the age of Venomous? What is the lifespan of Muuns and Biths? Given that, I doubt Qimir is either of them, given that well... he's human, so would have likely died of old age (if not by some other means) before Palpatine is born. Also, I find it a bit odd how so many have seemingly jumped onto what is effectively still a fan theory, that Qimir even is a Sith of any kind. Just cause he said that the Jedi might call him a Sith, doesn't mean that he is claiming to be one. Its just a generalization. As far as we know from the show, he is just a Dark Jedi. Likely fed up with the lies and restrictions of the Jedi order (as shown, the Jedi do cover up and lie about a lot of things, even to those within the Order) and so left to study the force on his own and use it as he sees fit. Which is also something he said, he wanted the freedom to use the force how he wanted.
I really hope this is what they are doing. I think it would give me hope that they would fix some of the issues with season 1 and be more focused on this story line going into season 2
I like to think of The Stranger as more of a dark Jedi than a Sith. He seems to be basically the Star Wars equivalent of a Libertarian. He wants to be left alone by every organization so he can do what he wants unmolested.
I Love listing to the videos, I have been pointed to so many comic titles that I would had never read. But is seems to me that the ones making the movies have never even looked at any of the thousands of books, comics, etc out there. You would think it would be better to bring to life charters that have searchable back stores to them, rather they make some charter up and going with a funky story line, when there is already SO many that are great they can pull from. Thanks all for listening.
Here is another theory ... one i actually like: Qimir is neither a Master, nor the Apprentice ... he is just a Jedi who found some kind of Sith teaching, and started to teach himself ... and Plagueis, or Tenebrous will appear sooner or later to kill him, since he is not part of Rule of Two. Wich would explain why he wanted to get an Acolyte ... 2v2 is better than 2v1. ;)
I suspect he may be a lapsed Jedi who briefly trained with a Sith lord and decided to dip out over the Rule of Two nonsense as he wanted to be truly free
If a fully trained Sith apprentice started murdering Jedi, then the order would obviously know the Sith still exist…. This storyline seems like a waste of time either way unfortunately. Great analysis though!
Quimir only said he was what the Jedi called a Sith. He never confirmed that he was. Ventress in legends did claim she was a Sith, and Dooku laughed at that. Legends Aurra Sing was a dark Jedi even as she had killed Jedi. Set Harth considered himself a dark Jedi.
Okay, so, you can force levitate a starfighter or heavier object, right? So why couldn't any strong jedi/sith levitate themselves essentially creating flight? I always wondered about this. I know it would take a great deal of concentration but if you were strong in the force and practiced it should become subconscious.
I'm still going to hold out on my theory that Qimir is going to be the Dark Jedi that was defeated and have let the Jedi know the Sith Rule of Two. Which Yoda repeats later in The Phantom Menace.
I think Qimir was trained by Ro (based on the whip like scar) and became a dark Jedi. Perhaps doing his own research on the dark side. Regardless of how the writers are deviating from what we consider as fans to be cannon or "hard facts", I don't think they'd stray that far as to replace a character like Venomous (spell check, I never read the books lol). But we'll see won't we? 😅
This theory is what i was thinking after watching the series. I really hope that they make a longer second season, hopefully with different writers and really dive into proper sith lore.
to me he was person who discovered a Sith Holocron, then called himself a sith. starting a new sith order independent from order of two. which to be fair should have happen many times since bane started the order of two
So, at the risk of sounding dumb, I often have this question about Darth Maul, even, and it could equally apply here; why do our Ro2 Sith train their Operatives in focusing on lightsaber combat, specifically? Palpatine totally intended to use Maul as his tool; send him out to deal with issues he couldn't, and risk exposure, but even for Sidious, who might have been approaching a time when sone of that secrecy wasn't mandatory, he still wasn't necessarily just hoping to scream "the Sith are back!", so why didn't he push Maul to learn practically any other weapon? Maybe killing people with the Dark Side won't always attract Jedi, but lightsabers do make rather unique wounds, and whether you cut someone in half, decapitate them, or simply hack off some limbs, before running them through, it will be clear a lightsaber was used,and lightsabers are used by precious few, outside the Jedi, and their ancient foes. A slugthrower gun, with cortosis rounds, and a vibro-weapon, could do much if the same work, and while it still might look like means tailored to kill Jedi, they do know that they have enemies, even in the modern day. Explosives, and other less identifying means can also work. I get that it's important for us, the audience watching, to see lightsaber duels, for the fate of the galaxy, but inverse, it seems odd both Maul and Teeth are so well-trained to use the one weapon that, while I get it is efficient against the Jedi, with their identical weapons, also so advertise who had to be using it.
When Plageuis and Palpatine were still a thing, they both planned the entire Sith plot that takes place in the prequels, the Clone army, Separatists, rising thru political ranks to become Emperor, etc. To that end, Jedi destruction and final revelation of Sith rule of the galaxy. This means Sidious, Maul, Dooku, etc were at the point where the Sith plans were reaching their peak and there wasn't a need to hide anymore.
Not a bad theory. I do not think he is Sith. He's had Sith training, yes, but I'm not sure he views himself as one. He even says to Sol, *"You* would call me Sith," by the default fact of their narrow minded point of view of him being a Dark Side user. All that said, ScreenCrush believes that Qimir may be a Knight of Ren, since Kylo's theme has played a few times when he was on screen.
I don't think that Qimir is a Sith. In episode 5, he NEVER said that he was; he told Master Sol that "Jedi would call me Sith". I think that Qimir is a member of a dark side faction or cult. Also, I believe that we may see Darth Tenabrous or Plagueis in next week's finale. Sith Lords tend to kill those who say they are Sith and are not.
In my opinion Qimir isn't a Sith, nor do I think the Jedi see him as such. I believe that they see him as a failed Jedi. If you remember from The Phantom Menace, Master Ki-Adi-Mundi stated the Sith have been extinct for a millennium. Meaning both Tenebris and Plagueis kept in hiding along with the long line of those who passed along the knowledge of the Dark Side from Bane. Sith were great at hiding who they were or how powerful they were. Any risk of more than 2 Sith coming into the lineage, 1 Sith had to be killed to keep the rule of 2. As Sidious challenged both Maul and Savage to the death as he sees Maul as a rival for having made Savage his apprentice. Darth Vader was able to sneak around that by making Acolytes, those who used the dark side that were not granted the title of Sith. They became more enforcers. Qimir is more like Exar Kun, he discovered the dark side and saw it as a way to increase his power, leading him to be removed from the order. Now he seeks revenge for feeling as though they turn their back on him. He is skilled in saber combat, possibly by studying a dark holocron, able to learn about cortosis and make armor from it. He'll either see his end by a main character or by a Sith in hiding to keep to ruse that Sith are gone. Lets see what future episodes have in line next.
He’s a clone that’s why he has no name. And he was supposed to infiltrate the Jedi order but he tripped on a rock and said “fuck” and they threw him out of the order.
Is it possible he was Venamis' secret apprentice instead or something? Changing his race would be quiiiite the retcon. Honestly that feels even worse than being a fully separate lineage.
I disagree. I don’t think he’s anything more than a fallen or dark Jedi. I think Plagueis’ cameo was just him talent scouting. He searched for an apprentice for quite a well before meeting Palpatine.
Finally!! I think this is probably accurate. After all, Qimr cant be an actual sith, it has to end with revealing that he wasnt really a sith, and was impersonating one, for some reason... that would keep it legit storyline wise right? The dead jedi are explained because it wasnt a sith who killed them, only "an impersonator" which would make Ki-Adi-Mundi not a lier
Qimir didn’t even have Sith eyes, Anakin did after the Jedi temple purge, the Mustafar slaughter and the decapitation of his limbs. The Acolyte is piss weak, waste
Qimir is Venamis and Plagueis is stalking him and going to try and capture him just like the novel. Not kill. Plagueis could do that easily. But capture. Which would be tough, even for a Dark Lord of the Sith, as Qimir is very talented and skilled, obviously, dude killed more Jedi at once than 99 percent of Sith Lords in canon. So Plagueis must watch and observe his prey!!!!

Pretty much everything about Venamis (and Tenebrous) comes from James Luceno's 2012 "Darth Plagueis" novel, which is now Legends material and not part of the current canon.
Gotta read legends. Ice been knowing how this story would go down since the first trailer. Obviously some kinks were added, but even those seem heavily informed by Legends content. We'll see how these last 2 episodes play out
“Artificial high ground”
I too like the idea he is not a Sith but a fallen Jedi/padawan or something else. Seems that the only people that would know about Sith at this time would be Jedi, Sith , or Witches. A bit camp to burn the Witches thought. I feel like the idea we would know who all the Sith are in Cannon is weird. Not to mention all the force users that are out there in a whole galaxy.
It is fun to speculate but I often have to remind myself to let the storyteller tell their story.
He recited half the Sith code in the chem shop.
If we’re throwing out random theories. What if Qimir is just the Son in human form?
Thank you for FINALLY saying this since people couldn’t put these pieces together on their own
Qimir is the acolyte!
I mean Vanamis kinda sounds like venom as in posion and he made the posion for Mae
This is before plagueis. Yoda was alive for 900 years. Plagueis was alive for around like 120. It’s a different with all together
Sadly, you're assuming the writers actually know the lore to for this to be a possibility. They're a bunch of hacks who were told to actually not watch the old movies or get familiar with the lore.
Good for you for trying to make Acolyte a semi-cohesive, good addition to Star Wars lore!
It may be so. But then, I fear the show's developers did not think that far. Remember how many theories we had about Snoke.
Qimir is Venamis!!! i just watched the finale
interesting theory but disney lack crsativity
If someone killed a whole Jedi task force, the Sith would know and they would like to find out who did it
I agree with the title however I do not agree with the subject matter in the video nor do I believe he was trained by Tenebrous. They said there would be no larger characters in The Acolyte. Mundi is the most we are getting so I am going to have to figure he either started down the Darkside alone and bumped into Sith artifacts and training material (Hence the cortosis) or was trained as a Jedi for a time and then left to figure his own way which included finding a Sith of some sort and training with them. I know the purple whip carrying woman has something to do with it, maybe she turned and taught him and then somehow came back to the light and ditched him. It would make so much sense that she was a Sith Acolyte or assassin, infiltrating the Jedi ranks to see what they have and what's going on.
Have you ever heard the tragedy of Qimir the “Venamis”? It’s a sith legend. Qimir wore a Cortosis helmet that could short out lightsabers and he also stabbed 4 Jedi, one of them was a padawan who he stabbed 3 times just to piss off one of the Jedi masters.
Awesome theory 🤩 I’d love to see an ending to the acolyte where the true Sith come in and slap him up
I’m just happy that he Is skill not only in lightsaber but also manipulate in such a way that you haven’t seen since add ting so from knight old republic after all, he says there’s a way of drugging them gassing them lust impatient and all that if he can just combine all that with much more, I believe you can be more
Tenabrous wouldn’t train qimir though. He did not like humans. His entire plan centered around taking over the body of his apprentice as well in the later years, which is why he trained his second bith apprentice.
He didn't own the title, or he'd be calling himself Darth. He said he has no name, the jedi "might" call him sith because he utilizes the dark side.
I say he is a Fallen Jedi who was either partly trained by a false master, or found a Sith holocron after he fell and learned how to bleed his crystal. He has some very powerful skills and aspects of the dark side, but he is notably completely missing others, such as Sith lightning (Plagueis taught this to Sidious some years in), creating fear in others via the force and more, while being able to sense thoughts, and more like force glide to meet the jedi. 16 years with an apprentice, and all he could muster in her was a lot of skill with a knife and a kind of assassins skill in the force. He could not pass on the right skills because he did not have many of them himself, even as he had MUCH more power.
He is like an incomplete puzzle with several of the needed pieces, but clearly missing others. This is why he dances around the proper terms and titles. He doesnt have much, or any knowledge of several aspects of Sith life.
This video is better than the whole acolyte show (they really dropped the ball with that one)
I wish that this theory would be true but honestly I highly doubt that the people who are in charge of the acolyte are going to incorporate this. After all everyone who was recruited to make the acolyte ( including the writers, producers, directors, and even the cast ) haven't ever seen any of the original 6 star wars movies, or any of the shows, or even read any of the books or graphic novels, so it's wishful thinking.
this held up very well after the finale. Don't think he'll be slapped as venamis, more maybe as Plagueis' first apprentice.
While this may be an good theory, I do question one thing. Supposedly Plagues is/was the Sith master to Palpatine, right? Yet The Acolyte series takes place 100 years before Episode 1 (about 110 years before Ep 2). So, how young would Plagues be then if he was in The Acolytes time? For that mater, what about the age of Venomous? What is the lifespan of Muuns and Biths?
Given that, I doubt Qimir is either of them, given that well... he's human, so would have likely died of old age (if not by some other means) before Palpatine is born.
Also, I find it a bit odd how so many have seemingly jumped onto what is effectively still a fan theory, that Qimir even is a Sith of any kind. Just cause he said that the Jedi might call him a Sith, doesn't mean that he is claiming to be one. Its just a generalization. As far as we know from the show, he is just a Dark Jedi. Likely fed up with the lies and restrictions of the Jedi order (as shown, the Jedi do cover up and lie about a lot of things, even to those within the Order) and so left to study the force on his own and use it as he sees fit. Which is also something he said, he wanted the freedom to use the force how he wanted.
Sith do not gain the Darth moniker by killing their master. Darth Vader and Darth Maul are both examples.
I really hope this is what they are doing. I think it would give me hope that they would fix some of the issues with season 1 and be more focused on this story line going into season 2
I agree, he feels more like a Dark Jedi than a Sith Lord, I think Qimir is the true acolyte
I like to think of The Stranger as more of a dark Jedi than a Sith. He seems to be basically the Star Wars equivalent of a Libertarian. He wants to be left alone by every organization so he can do what he wants unmolested.
Hardly an enemy, a curiosity or a tool at best.
I Love listing to the videos, I have been pointed to so many comic titles that I would had never read. But is seems to me that the ones making the movies have never even looked at any of the thousands of books, comics, etc out there. You would think it would be better to bring to life charters that have searchable back stores to them, rather they make some charter up and going with a funky story line, when there is already SO many that are great they can pull from. Thanks all for listening.
Bro I put this theory out on Twitter a few days ago!
Here is another theory ... one i actually like:
Qimir is neither a Master, nor the Apprentice ... he is just a Jedi who found some kind of Sith teaching, and started to teach himself ... and Plagueis, or Tenebrous will appear sooner or later to kill him, since he is not part of Rule of Two.
Wich would explain why he wanted to get an Acolyte ... 2v2 is better than 2v1. ;)
We will find out the truth this week or next
Hopefully
With this in mind I like to think of Qimir's Sith name as another disease themed name. Darth Prionis
You give one cause to wonder how many Qimirs are out there that neither the Sith nor the Jedi know about.
Literally just read that chapter today while reading Plagueis LOLS
I suspect he may be a lapsed Jedi who briefly trained with a Sith lord and decided to dip out over the Rule of Two nonsense as he wanted to be truly free
If a fully trained Sith apprentice started murdering Jedi, then the order would obviously know the Sith still exist….
This storyline seems like a waste of time either way unfortunately. Great analysis though!
I feel like Qimir is more of a dark jedi that just wants to be a sith master
Good theory. But have too say that I doubt anyone planned this
If Qimir ever took the Darth title, it'd probably be Darth Seducious.
If this was the story I think it would be so interesting. But I have doubts about Disney’s willingness to pull that story off
Quimir only said he was what the Jedi called a Sith. He never confirmed that he was. Ventress in legends did claim she was a Sith, and Dooku laughed at that. Legends Aurra Sing was a dark Jedi even as she had killed Jedi. Set Harth considered himself a dark Jedi.
Okay, so, you can force levitate a starfighter or heavier object, right? So why couldn't any strong jedi/sith levitate themselves essentially creating flight? I always wondered about this. I know it would take a great deal of concentration but if you were strong in the force and practiced it should become subconscious.
I'm still going to hold out on my theory that Qimir is going to be the Dark Jedi that was defeated and have let the Jedi know the Sith Rule of Two. Which Yoda repeats later in The Phantom Menace.
I think Qimir was trained by Ro (based on the whip like scar) and became a dark Jedi. Perhaps doing his own research on the dark side. Regardless of how the writers are deviating from what we consider as fans to be cannon or "hard facts", I don't think they'd stray that far as to replace a character like Venomous (spell check, I never read the books lol). But we'll see won't we? 😅
This theory is what i was thinking after watching the series. I really hope that they make a longer second season, hopefully with different writers and really dive into proper sith lore.
I would love to see this build up to see some Sith battling each other for the right to be the true Sith Lord.
to me he was person who discovered a Sith Holocron, then called himself a sith. starting a new sith order independent from order of two. which to be fair should have happen many times since bane started the order of two
So, at the risk of sounding dumb, I often have this question about Darth Maul, even, and it could equally apply here; why do our Ro2 Sith train their Operatives in focusing on lightsaber combat, specifically? Palpatine totally intended to use Maul as his tool; send him out to deal with issues he couldn't, and risk exposure, but even for Sidious, who might have been approaching a time when sone of that secrecy wasn't mandatory, he still wasn't necessarily just hoping to scream "the Sith are back!", so why didn't he push Maul to learn practically any other weapon? Maybe killing people with the Dark Side won't always attract Jedi, but lightsabers do make rather unique wounds, and whether you cut someone in half, decapitate them, or simply hack off some limbs, before running them through, it will be clear a lightsaber was used,and lightsabers are used by precious few, outside the Jedi, and their ancient foes. A slugthrower gun, with cortosis rounds, and a vibro-weapon, could do much if the same work, and while it still might look like means tailored to kill Jedi, they do know that they have enemies, even in the modern day. Explosives, and other less identifying means can also work. I get that it's important for us, the audience watching, to see lightsaber duels, for the fate of the galaxy, but inverse, it seems odd both Maul and Teeth are so well-trained to use the one weapon that, while I get it is efficient against the Jedi, with their identical weapons, also so advertise who had to be using it.
When Plageuis and Palpatine were still a thing, they both planned the entire Sith plot that takes place in the prequels, the Clone army, Separatists, rising thru political ranks to become Emperor, etc. To that end, Jedi destruction and final revelation of Sith rule of the galaxy. This means Sidious, Maul, Dooku, etc were at the point where the Sith plans were reaching their peak and there wasn't a need to hide anymore.
Not a bad theory. I do not think he is Sith. He's had Sith training, yes, but I'm not sure he views himself as one. He even says to Sol, *"You* would call me Sith," by the default fact of their narrow minded point of view of him being a Dark Side user. All that said, ScreenCrush believes that Qimir may be a Knight of Ren, since Kylo's theme has played a few times when he was on screen.
I don't think that Qimir is a Sith. In episode 5, he NEVER said that he was; he told Master Sol that "Jedi would call me Sith". I think that Qimir is a member of a dark side faction or cult. Also, I believe that we may see Darth Tenabrous or Plagueis in next week's finale. Sith Lords tend to kill those who say they are Sith and are not.
Venamis didn’t “claim” to be a Darth. Tenebrous had made him one. Plagueis didn’t need to murder Tenebrous to become a Darth, either.
This is a great theory, and for that reason it is not going to be true because the writers would have to be good in order to enact it
In my opinion Qimir isn't a Sith, nor do I think the Jedi see him as such. I believe that they see him as a failed Jedi. If you remember from The Phantom Menace, Master Ki-Adi-Mundi stated the Sith have been extinct for a millennium. Meaning both Tenebris and Plagueis kept in hiding along with the long line of those who passed along the knowledge of the Dark Side from Bane. Sith were great at hiding who they were or how powerful they were. Any risk of more than 2 Sith coming into the lineage, 1 Sith had to be killed to keep the rule of 2. As Sidious challenged both Maul and Savage to the death as he sees Maul as a rival for having made Savage his apprentice. Darth Vader was able to sneak around that by making Acolytes, those who used the dark side that were not granted the title of Sith. They became more enforcers. Qimir is more like Exar Kun, he discovered the dark side and saw it as a way to increase his power, leading him to be removed from the order. Now he seeks revenge for feeling as though they turn their back on him. He is skilled in saber combat, possibly by studying a dark holocron, able to learn about cortosis and make armor from it. He'll either see his end by a main character or by a Sith in hiding to keep to ruse that Sith are gone. Lets see what future episodes have in line next.
A well considered theory.
He’s a clone that’s why he has no name. And he was supposed to infiltrate the Jedi order but he tripped on a rock and said “fuck” and they threw him out of the order.
I appreciate this theory. Sadly, I think it's being held hostage for a season 2
Is it possible he was Venamis' secret apprentice instead or something? Changing his race would be quiiiite the retcon. Honestly that feels even worse than being a fully separate lineage.
I disagree. I don’t think he’s anything more than a fallen or dark Jedi. I think Plagueis’ cameo was just him talent scouting. He searched for an apprentice for quite a well before meeting Palpatine.
Finally!! I think this is probably accurate. After all, Qimr cant be an actual sith, it has to end with revealing that he wasnt really a sith, and was impersonating one, for some reason... that would keep it legit storyline wise right? The dead jedi are explained because it wasnt a sith who killed them, only "an impersonator" which would make Ki-Adi-Mundi not a lier
Tenebrous and Venamis were proof clones could have force potential and are not outside of the ftce
I'm waiting for the full season to drop but from what I've gathered qimir is the acolyte and the girl is caught in between
Qimir didn’t even have Sith eyes, Anakin did after the Jedi temple purge, the Mustafar slaughter and the decapitation of his limbs. The Acolyte is piss weak, waste
That was actually my first though on the matter
I've been calling him a rival since the start.
What do people think about the beat the jedi without a weapon thing? I wonder why Qimir is so insistent on that...
Qimir is Venamis and Plagueis is stalking him and going to try and capture him just like the novel. Not kill. Plagueis could do that easily. But capture. Which would be tough, even for a Dark Lord of the Sith, as Qimir is very talented and skilled, obviously, dude killed more Jedi at once than 99 percent of Sith Lords in canon. So Plagueis must watch and observe his prey!!!!
He's just like venemis - he's gonna die yo
I was thinking the same, or a discarded apprentice of tennabris
I'm pretty sure the writers have no clue who Plagueis and Tenebrous are.
