I watched all 5 episodes for the first time last night, and I think the show works. If it had been released all at once, or had been a film, it would have been received much better. This sith will turn out to be plagueis, as an apprentice of the horned mother who was driven to the sith seeking revenge on the Jedi, and this version of plagueis will have incorporated the witches methods of creating life into the sith religion. Think of him as the joker in Star Wars, I think that’s what they’re going for, a political/religious anarchist who will go on to train palpatine to take down the entire republic and jedi order from within. Btw, the first time we meet qimir, he’s sleeping, it’s the foreshadowing of his eventual fate.
@@clarkkent6921 I have pondered the possibility that Qimir could be a shapeshifter, who steals a Muun's identity to become Plagueis. However, both Tenebrous and Plagueis were into Essence Transfer, so perhaps that's what's going on here. For example, Qimir might have been Koril or Aniseya, before using Essence Transfer to become Qimir. And he could use Essence Transfer later to become Plagueis.
Here we go, Lost Acolyte breakdown! Thanks so much for all the lore details! I'll be honest ... I haven't been dazzled by the action scenes in Star Wars as much as this .. ever. I mean, the Prequel light saber battles had more refined elegance, but this was. This was brutal. Visceral. Spectacular. Honestly even more stunning than Star Wars Visions. Anyway, I agree that Sol and Qimir have more of a history, and Qimir has some personal beef with Sol. But if so, why didn't he worry about Sol recognizing him in the potion shop? Could Qimir be a shapeshifter? Could he be Koril? Could he be Plagueis? I'm probably overthinking this, but ... maybe? I know people have pointed out a shadowy hooded figure among the witches in episode 3, but I feel like it's a real weird stretch to think Qimir was just hanging out with the witches. I find it far more likely that the hooded figure was just some random witch who happened to have a poorly lit face randomly. Why would the witches have some random man hanging out with them? But if Qimir is a shapeshifter, he could be Koril or some other witch. Oh. Another thing I need to rewatch on ... I read someone interpret Sol backing off as him letting Qimir pick up his weapon - so Sol could kill him without breaking his Jedi code. My thought is that if Mae hadn't intervened with the umbramoths, the result would have been something like Return of the Jedi where Qimir would use the threat of turning Osha to push Sol over the edge. Or vice versa. My point is - the way Qimir said he wanted a new acolyte ... I thought it was pretty clear he was talking about either Osha OR Sol. That sets up a RotJ style choice, further clouding Sol's judgement.
Qimir faught like a cornered animal, fighting for his life. I loved it. Just found your channel... Will watch all your breakdowns now! Great work, keep it up 👏🏻
Oh, another thought ... I love Andor. I LOVE Andor. But Andor is never going to give me a full-throated Star Wars action spectacle on this level. That's just not what Andor is. I had a good feeling about Andor. And even so, Andor really outshone my expectations. I had a good feeling about The Acolyte. But I was keeping my hopes tempered by the fact that I just really didn't expect something on the level of Andor. And it's not Andor. But between episodes 1, 2, and 5 the action scenes alone have blown me away far above my expectations. I love Andor, but it's always going to have somewhat niche appeal within Star Wars fandom. I feel like The Acolyte is going to be received like the prequel trilogy - heavily disdained at first, but it's going to be beloved by Star Wars fans.

Perfect, you have it down correctly, I fully agree. The best theory I've read makes sense.
How can it be plagueis? Plagueis was a muun. He has a large and elongated head.

It's like the dumbest switcheroo ever. Jedis literally have force sense to know who is who. Plus Mae has those circles on her head.
