I was not expecting them to kill off both Yord and Jecki in this one episode, that was wild! The show needs MORE of this, the dynamic between the Jedi and Sith and their perspectives & motives. This episode is definitely my favorite so far. I think it was kinda obvious Qimir was the Sith, but he still felt pretty intimidating even after his mask got broken off.
He did. I didn’t know how well he could play the villain but he pulled it off. Made him sinister enough with keeping some of the looseness for it to not be too dramatic.
I loved that the mask the Sith used was obviously cortosis which is why he was able to disable their light sabers with a headbutt and slap them away with his armband I wasn’t expecting that it looked so cool also the split saber he used to kill the padawan was badass he stabbed her in 3 different places in the chest, such brutality now that’s what I call a Sith
Can’t wait to see more of Qimir. I don’t think he’s the final big bad. It’s why he’s searching for an “acolyte” and not an “apprentice”. God I love being inspired to theorize Star Was again. Don’t think I’ve really done that since after TLJ’s credits rolled.
@@isaacdrum8009 ??? No, dude. Star Wars fans just like good, live action lightsaber choreography. Which we really haven’t gotten since the prequels (until now).
What’s the bet sol is gonna get the blame since the jedi already thought he was too attached and found it suss that he hid stuff about the witches. They’ll think he fell to the darkside along with the twins and the Sith are still thought to be extinct by the end of this
@@starwarssith66 still, the jedi council are definitely gonna have questions since 9 Jedi have died which an amateur like Osha wouldn’t be considered close to powerful enough to accomplish such feats even if she kill 3 masters who went easy on her. Sol may not die by the end of this but it seems like he’d be the fall guy by the end of all this which confirms Mundi beliefs the Sith is extint in the prequels!
@@starwarssith66 100% i think if they make a season 2 it’s gonna be OSHA starting her darkside training and it’s reveal that there’s a Sith master they’re trying to overthrow similar to the old republic Sith but weaker Sith gang up on a more powerful Sith master.
This episode completely changed my mind about this show. If they keep it up like this, I'll keep watching for a season 2. This was hands down the best jedi. Fighting episode, I've seen in so long. Maybe ever don't overthink it, but so many things happened. That just shocked me. I'm all for it
Fighting choreography was incredible. Those involved with the Obi-Wan show should take notes. Regarding the plot progression, I do think the greater reveal as opposed to Qimir has to be in the last episodes, possibly the true Sith (or his master) intervening because of his messiness?
@@starwarssith66I want to know how he fits in. Was the rule of two branched off? Is he Venamis? He didn’t quite seem clean enough as a the big baddy. Like an apprentice trying to find his own apprentice to make a move.
Helmet must be made with Cortosis weave, have they covered that in previous episodes? Cortosis - disrupts lightsabres, created in either Sith alchemical techniques or difficult manufacturing process in the expanded lore. First came across it mentioned in the Dark Side source book for the Star Wars D20RPG published under WotC.
Probably the best episode so far. The chorography was really good imo. Surprised to see some main characters go but it shows how strong this sith warrior is. Im not sure this series will have a happy ending.
Personally think the saber fights in this are better than anything in star wars (with the exception of Empire, Jedi, and half of the Obi-Ani fight). Way better than Ep 1 and 2 (The maul fight is really only cool when it's obi vs maul one on one.) Kylo musical theme nod was cool. I actually like Yord. His armor (Cortosis armor?) causes a feedback that disables a lightsaber momentarily. that's why they malfuntioned and turned back on. very cool.
Manny Jacinto (the actor playing Qimir/The Stranger) said in an interview that he did a lot of the stunts himself. Even while under the mask. I also saw a video on twitter of him training for this episode. The dude is a total beast (and freaking ripped too).
@@LIGHTLORD_MASTA_RAWRGER i think he flicked it on and off three times but he also could have stabbed her seeing how short the blade was and how his arm was moving but idk calling it three flick doesnt sound as cool XD
I’m thinking Qimir may not be from the line of Sith that led to Palpatine. There’s some kind of history between him and Sol, which makes me think that maybe he’s a failed Jedi turned Dark Jedi trying to harness the legend of the Sith? I could see the ‘true’ Sith appearing at the end and killing him to retain their secret and the Jedi realizing Qimir wasn’t a ‘true Sith,’ protecting the canon.
@@starwarssith66 It would also explain why he could Force Heal, but didn’t use any Sith Force abilities - lightning, choking, etc. He harnesses the Dark Side but isn’t trained in its unique abilities?
I say that Qimir and Sol have some kind of history... Like they are related, or trained together as kids or something.. i know they first met at the apothecary but I have a feeling it goes further back.
I dont think hes a Sith. He never said I am a Sith he technically said a Jedi like you might call me Sith. Especially since he has no Sith name either.
Mae was wondering how she was going to kill a jedi without a weapon and Qimir showed her exactly how its done against Yord. I also loved that they made cortosis armor canon.
I enjoyed this episode very much. So many deaths I was actually suprised at some main characters dying. It was too obvious so they got us haha. My issue here is how short the episode was we really need 1 hour episodes especially since we only get 8. Fun stuff im excited for more fights and reveals.
that helmet and arm band is like the Cortosis that is used in the for the null blade from Dr Aphra and i think it was used in the clone wars as well, by the separatists? I can't remember I'll have to look it up. edit: Wookieepedia seems to already call it Cortosis now, and yup it was in the Clone wars as well as a bunch of other stuff.
I'm still having trouble understanding how Mundi you're still going to be able to say what he says in episode 1. That's why I'm waiting to pass judgment
Qimirs helmet and gauntlets are made from cortosis which was briefly mentioned in a legends novel that it’s a metal that shorts out lightsabers that’s what that was all about.
Technically, when Sol asked, "What are you?" Qimir said, "I have NO NAME, but a Jedi (like you) MIGHT call me Sith." So, it's still vague whether he is Sith or that is just how a Jedi what a Jedi might call him. I think he is Sith, but it's still vague.
Hello There, it's the best episode of the series, I have a quick question, does Lucas Films plan on having a second season of the Acolyte, when they're basically getting rid of all the characters? 🤔🤔 amazing lightsaber battles as well.
Not sure, but they need to take out all those Jedis for the line in TPM to make sense so thats good so far it looks like thats happening, if Qimir survives and one of the sisters the second season could be him training her and then we learn more about Qimir back story and the Sith in general possibly
This was by far the best episode in my opinion! I agree they need to lead with more Sith. Smilo Ren is easily the most compelling character in the series. This episode doesn’t make up for the previous 4, but it’s a step in the right direction.
Honestly, i think Osha, the protagonist, is going to be the true Acloyte. and I'm not ready for it. The master is going to reveal what Sol did (kill the witch covern), which is going to enrage her, and not trust the jedi. meanwhile Mae is going to see the good in the jedi, after posing as her sister to escape. and Osha test is to kill Sol and Mae.
Yo that was a dope episode wasn't it?! Goosebumps man straight goose bumps I had a feeling the sith was gonna be him I just knew it. 👍🏻Great commentary my man keep it going🎉
Yooooooo Scruffy! Thanks for watching appreciate that! and yes finally this episode gave me everything I wanted for a show thats suppose to be about the bad guy. The fighting was awesome!
@@starwarssith66exatamente, lembre-se que Plagueis e outro disputaram pra vê quem era o aprendiz Lord Sith do Tenebrous , Quimir pode ser ou o Plagueis ou o outro , até porque eles tem que aparecer nessa época
@@starwarssith66 look the best way to save what’s left of this show it to make him a sith assassin rather than a Sith Lord. A Sith Lord would never do anything this risky unless they had too. This Sith in this time are politicians and bankers. Trying to control things from the inside.
@@Beymaster20247 I agree, I would think if he was a rule of two sith he would say it. Maybe at the end of this season he gets delt with by the actual sith for drawing attention to them.
So glad to see a fellow Star Wars fan enjoying themself and doing what they should be doing: having fun with a fictional show. Also, I think Qimir’s armor is laced with Cortosis ore.
This episode was BEYOND SICK!! Dang I wasn't ready for it, definitly. I just saw some of the best lightsaber fights in all the franchise, I have no doubt. Besides that the script is awesome, so many intriguing misteries we are waiting to be revealed, intereseting characters.... I'm LOVING The Acolyte! 🔥🔥🔥
They made the characters interesting, gave them brutal terrifying deaths, gave us a powerful and unstoppable Sith Lord, and gave us some top-tier fight choreography. This show is actually getting good.
At least something interesting happened even for a short time but I long said goodbye to the show. So it’s better to read reviews than watch it. I don’t wanna be part of Disneys view list for this.
@@RM-rh3mzya politics are getting very involved for some odd reason. Because the show was advertised as “woke” if you dislike the show you are labeled right winger. If you enjoy it you are super liberal. Extremely stupid Star Wars fans are becoming insufferable
Qimir didn't say he was Sith, he said, "What I am has no name...BUT a Jedi like you MIGHT call me Sith." That's a fairly significant difference. I think Qimir is the illegitimate "false" apprentice of Darth Tenebrous which he took in addition to his legitimate "real" apprentice, Darth Plagueis. A false apprentice is not technically Sith, and can never carry the title of Darth. In the lore, this second apprentice hated not being the real apprentice and considered Plagueis to be his enemy, leading him to attempt to overthrow Tenebrous and Plagueis and replace them with himself and his own apprentice. Seeking out his own apprentice I think is what the whole Osha/Mae story line is about, and is something he would probably do in preparation for his attempt to kill Tenebrous and Plagueis. If I'm correct about this (it feels correct, but who knows) then that would mean that Qimir is Darth Venamis...although he was the only person who added the "Darth" title to his name, and neither his master nor his master's apprentice would have referred to him by that name. Again going by the lore, Darth Tenebrous owned a rare cortosis mine, which is where Qimir/Venamis would have got the materials to create his helmet and bracer. Interestingly, the complex that the witches lived in on Brendock was a seemingly abandoned cortosis mine. I think this is likely the mine owned by Tenebrous, which is why Qimir has so much information about the twins and what happened when the Jedi showed up. On the other hand, Disney may be doing what it has already done so far, which is to mine Legends for good story material, change some details and then present it as an original story. For example, Ben Solo/Kylo Ren is really just Jasen Solo with a name and some details changed, and Rey is really his twin sister Jaina Solo with the names and details changed. This is why they had to come up with the whole "Force dyad," business. Originally, Jasen and Jaina had a deep connection in the Force to each other due to their natural connection as twins. In order to replicate that connection without them being twins, they invented this dyad situation. Something similar may be happening here with Qimir who might not be Venamis specifically, but is still clearly a character based on Venamis. I guess we'll see. Also, I just want to say that Qimir is the most accurate depiction of what I think a younger Sith or Dark Side warrior would be like and I think the characterization is fantastic.
Very cool fights, still not clear on the intentions of the sith here, as I see they are gonna push what really happened at chapter 3 to the end. Ending felt weak, just a classic twins mixup? Thats good for a cartoon... but...
Good thing he didn’t claim to be a Sith since there’s already 2 Sith following The Rule Of Two which at this show’s time period would chronologically be Darth Tenebrous/Darth Plagues, not every darkside user is a Sith as becoming a Sith requires the Title of Darth being given hence Darth Bane, Darth Tenebrous, Darth Plagueis, Darth Sidious, Darth Vader, Darth Tyranus, Darth Maul etc. The Rule Of Two is very strictly enforced during these 1000 years from Bane to episode 3, only the title of Darth makes someone a Sith.. there are darkside users like the inquisitors or Savage oppress or Ventress who use it but that’s all they have in common as they weren’t actual Sith nevertheless choreography was astonishing
@StarWarsSith on episode 3 there’s a theory during the cemetery behind the witch mothers there’s a mysterious cloaked sith figure not showing his face could be pleague or his master or smilo ren and it wasn’t a witch
@StarWarsSith even I think smilo ren is the origin and first knight of ren and leader and ancestor of the knights of ren and I think he’s been trained and taught by a witch
@StarWarsSith cuse of the getting in a Jedi head mind trick and levitating and I think he has the same witch symbol on his back of his shirt like the witch envelope symbol that mae took and burned
@StarWarsSith I think the witches are followers of abeloth cuse of the black eyes that was on mae and torbin and the smiley grin on the mask I think they worship her
@StarWarsSith and smilo ren has the cracked lines on his mask like Kylo ren without the glowing part that’s why it broke separately I bet it was fixed by the same person or material like kylo rens
Since most of the cast is dead hopefully the dialogue will pick up for the rest of the series lol 😂😂😂 but some nerds be mad at the filler/ flashbacks when they enjoy them in animation but not in starwars live action gtfo 😂😂😂
The Smilo Ren meme has officially become a canon, Qimir is indeed a REN not a Sith! Padawan is Jedi's pupil, Apprentice is Sith's pupil, and whose pupil is Acolyte? Thats right, Acolyte is a Ren's pupil!
Dude that was so badass!! I’m still feeling all buzzed off that shit 🤯🖤 I was actually starting to really dig Yord so damn…I can’t believe they just did all that. It’s a 10 for me. Really enjoyed ur reaction and thoughts on this too. Cheers🍻
Never suspected Qimir fr. Guy looks too young and not menacing enough to be a Sith. Got a really strong feeling he have a stronger and more terrifying master yet to be revealed. Well let's see
I have similar thoughts/feels as @NostalgicGenius & you stated. This is what I wanted from the beginning & lil better writing throughout. I did like the “sith” dude red saber & mini saber/ cort helmet it was clean af.
If they stick the landing on this season…I mean some of the first episodes were clunky, with awkward dialogue and sketchy character development, but this episode went so hard! They have a chance to really kick it into high for the rest of the season and maybe give us a glimpse of the sith master
@@starwarssith66 so I also watched other YT reviews, SWT+, G+G, K. Harloff, I don't understand why they were so upset, it was like they wanted to hate this show no matter how badass the lightsaber fights were, the only fair reviewer was Tyrone M. Anyway i thought i'd reply back.
@@kranwa15 me either i gave up trying to understand other peoples mindset lol if they dont like it thats fine i know i had a good time thats all that matters to me🤷🏻♂️ dont even watch there thoughts on it now cause I dont wanna kill my vibe
@@starwarssith66 The Dark Side actually can heal, it's a method called Dark Transfer, although it's a Legends Dark Side ability. Except I don't think Qimir was trying to use it.
The action is the only saving grace. I still have issues with it breaking cannon and overall just being a bad show. It just raises more questions. How in the world did Sol not immediately alert the council? If that isn’t answered there’s a problem. Because everyone should have been alerted. As soon as he stepped foot on that ship. First action call EVERYONE……… There’s this guy who just whipped our fucking ass and murdered everyone. Call the fucking Calvary. But I will say finally a good 15 minutes
Yeah i think Mae is going to kidnap Sol and there will be that space ship chase in the trailer we saw. I dont think Sol will make it home at all. He cant
@@starwarssith66 why would he wait to get home??? They have advance communication technology. You’re basically there talking to them in person. Call a meeting immediately don’t wait He already said “I can’t let you know I’m alive. I’m not letting you potentially catch me in a space ship. Also it’s fucking dumb that he let him go. At least cut off an arm or leg. Sure if you’re a Jedi don’t kill him I guess…….even though he just killed 9 people. But you can prevent him from harming anyone else. Cut off his hands
Great episode & great story… Watch though, haters are still gonna hate & pick out something insignificant or on screen for a second to fit their anti Disney Star Wars agenda. They just can’t help it lol.
oh exactly and I am not even interested in hearing any of those types of people out. if they didnt like it cool. I went to bed happy yesterday with how much fun this episode was so im good!
Not familiar with the lore of Ren, but Qimir’s outfit looks suspiciously familiar to Ren in the comics and they played a remixed Kylo ren theme in his last scene
Strange how Qimir says he has no name which hints he’s just a mid- tier acolyte, and not an official apprentice. His training probably comes from not a Sith Lord (cuz he woulda been given a name by now), but a witch mother?
@@williamyee1704 I agree with you. Even Yord mentioned how his fighting skills were different. And then osha mentioned how her mother used the same mind tricks. I my opinion this is a good series. Makes you think and get a different view of the force and how different individuals weild it

I think he might be more of a sith assassin rather than an actual Sith Lord
Thats makes more sense. But still Maul was a Sith Assassin and his name was Darth Maul. This dude having no name is odd. Like hes a pretender.
I still do not think he is a sith. He said "a jedi like you would call me a sith" but that is not confirmation nor denial.
@@starwarssith66exatamente, lembre-se que Plagueis e outro disputaram pra vê quem era o aprendiz Lord Sith do Tenebrous , Quimir pode ser ou o Plagueis ou o outro , até porque eles tem que aparecer nessa época
@@starwarssith66 look the best way to save what’s left of this show it to make him a sith assassin rather than a Sith Lord. A Sith Lord would never do anything this risky unless they had too. This Sith in this time are politicians and bankers. Trying to control things from the inside.
@@Beymaster20247 I agree, I would think if he was a rule of two sith he would say it. Maybe at the end of this season he gets delt with by the actual sith for drawing attention to them.
it was so good i could cry.
Yes!!!!
So glad to see a fellow Star Wars fan enjoying themself and doing what they should be doing: having fun with a fictional show. Also, I think Qimir’s armor is laced with Cortosis ore.
Yes exactly! and yeahhhh 100% Cortosis!
@@starwarssith66 didn’t I beat Retney to the punch, telling you about Cortosis last night? 😅😂🤣 #Credit But FR, keep up the great work!
@@omorales81 i saw it first on IG then second in my comments! Lol thank you tho!
@@starwarssith66 dang. Silver medal. LOL. 🥈
@@omorales81 😂😂😂
This episode was BEYOND SICK!! Dang I wasn't ready for it, definitly. I just saw some of the best lightsaber fights in all the franchise, I have no doubt.
Besides that the script is awesome, so many intriguing misteries we are waiting to be revealed, intereseting characters.... I'm LOVING The Acolyte! 🔥🔥🔥
Yes this episode is finally what we wanted from this show!
They made the characters interesting, gave them brutal terrifying deaths, gave us a powerful and unstoppable Sith Lord, and gave us some top-tier fight choreography.
This show is actually getting good.
This episode was great!
🔥🔥🔥🔥 Episode, need more like this, this episode might be top three (or five) for me, out all the tv shows
Yeah exactly. More of this’
Loved it! OUTSTANDING for me!
Yes so good!
Omg I didn’t like it when those birds took him away either.
I loved jecki fighting , she did so good
She did so good!
At least something interesting happened even for a short time but I long said goodbye to the show. So it’s better to read reviews than watch it. I don’t wanna be part of Disneys view list for this.
I can respect that.
Best episode yet!!!! So freaking EPIC!!!
So epic!!!!
The Episode We’ve Been Waiting For! Super RAD!!!
Right! Exactly. Finally!
Thank you so much for not being a right-winger grifter shitting on this series, love the positivity in this reaction brother
Thanks! Yeah im just me no nothing right left im just a fan that likes what i like lol 🙏🏼
Right winger? Like politically in US politics ? Isn’t this starwars ?
Dude i was looking for early reactions to this cuz it was so fun. And i found the grifters. It was so sad.
@@RM-rh3mzya politics are getting very involved for some odd reason. Because the show was advertised as “woke” if you dislike the show you are labeled right winger. If you enjoy it you are super liberal. Extremely stupid Star Wars fans are becoming insufferable
What does having problem with the writing and story have to do with being right wing?
Off the hook!
Yes!
this director should make the whole season 2 of Acolyte.
Lol right
Waited for the reaction to Yord 😂
I didnt expect him to go out like that! So savage!!!
Qimir didn't say he was Sith, he said, "What I am has no name...BUT a Jedi like you MIGHT call me Sith." That's a fairly significant difference. I think Qimir is the illegitimate "false" apprentice of Darth Tenebrous which he took in addition to his legitimate "real" apprentice, Darth Plagueis. A false apprentice is not technically Sith, and can never carry the title of Darth. In the lore, this second apprentice hated not being the real apprentice and considered Plagueis to be his enemy, leading him to attempt to overthrow Tenebrous and Plagueis and replace them with himself and his own apprentice. Seeking out his own apprentice I think is what the whole Osha/Mae story line is about, and is something he would probably do in preparation for his attempt to kill Tenebrous and Plagueis. If I'm correct about this (it feels correct, but who knows) then that would mean that Qimir is Darth Venamis...although he was the only person who added the "Darth" title to his name, and neither his master nor his master's apprentice would have referred to him by that name. Again going by the lore, Darth Tenebrous owned a rare cortosis mine, which is where Qimir/Venamis would have got the materials to create his helmet and bracer. Interestingly, the complex that the witches lived in on Brendock was a seemingly abandoned cortosis mine. I think this is likely the mine owned by Tenebrous, which is why Qimir has so much information about the twins and what happened when the Jedi showed up.
On the other hand, Disney may be doing what it has already done so far, which is to mine Legends for good story material, change some details and then present it as an original story. For example, Ben Solo/Kylo Ren is really just Jasen Solo with a name and some details changed, and Rey is really his twin sister Jaina Solo with the names and details changed. This is why they had to come up with the whole "Force dyad," business. Originally, Jasen and Jaina had a deep connection in the Force to each other due to their natural connection as twins. In order to replicate that connection without them being twins, they invented this dyad situation. Something similar may be happening here with Qimir who might not be Venamis specifically, but is still clearly a character based on Venamis. I guess we'll see.
Also, I just want to say that Qimir is the most accurate depiction of what I think a younger Sith or Dark Side warrior would be like and I think the characterization is fantastic.
That was the peak, all down hill from here. Definitely liked the episode - though very short.
Yes super peak. I cant see the next 3 topping this hopefully the story makes sense and ends good
Very cool fights, still not clear on the intentions of the sith here, as I see they are gonna push what really happened at chapter 3 to the end. Ending felt weak, just a classic twins mixup? Thats good for a cartoon... but...
Lol i hear that
This episode will get multiple rewatches from me. I'm actually shocked the sith wasn't a female... P.S. If I was Sol I would have killed Smilo Ren
lol yes!
This episode was FIRE!!!! Quimer was taken out Jedi left & right! Yord!!!! DAMN!!!
So crazy!
Hi! I'm new here 😄Your reactions were similar to mine, I'm glad you enjoyed this episode!
Thanks! Welcome appreciate you being here and checking out the content!
Mae and Sol are now together & Osha and Qimir are now together after this Episode! Mae is pretending she is Osha now! What a twist!
right???
crazy twist
Good thing he didn’t claim to be a Sith since there’s already 2 Sith following The Rule Of Two which at this show’s time period would chronologically be Darth Tenebrous/Darth Plagues, not every darkside user is a Sith as becoming a Sith requires the Title of Darth being given hence Darth Bane, Darth Tenebrous, Darth Plagueis, Darth Sidious, Darth Vader, Darth Tyranus, Darth Maul etc. The Rule Of Two is very strictly enforced during these 1000 years from Bane to episode 3, only the title of Darth makes someone a Sith.. there are darkside users like the inquisitors or Savage oppress or Ventress who use it but that’s all they have in common as they weren’t actual Sith nevertheless choreography was astonishing
Exactly!
@StarWarsSith on episode 3 there’s a theory during the cemetery behind the witch mothers there’s a mysterious cloaked sith figure not showing his face could be pleague or his master or smilo ren and it wasn’t a witch
@@lion4611 what?!? I gotta go look!
@StarWarsSith even I think smilo ren is the origin and first knight of ren and leader and ancestor of the knights of ren and I think he’s been trained and taught by a witch
@StarWarsSith cuse of the getting in a Jedi head mind trick and levitating and I think he has the same witch symbol on his back of his shirt like the witch envelope symbol that mae took and burned
@StarWarsSith I think the witches are followers of abeloth cuse of the black eyes that was on mae and torbin and the smiley grin on the mask I think they worship her
@StarWarsSith and smilo ren has the cracked lines on his mask like Kylo ren without the glowing part that’s why it broke separately I bet it was fixed by the same person or material like kylo rens
Dude. . All other episodes were lame until the Sith was involved. . He is awesome. This is all Star Wars fans wanted. .
Exactly i wanted the Sith from the beginning thats the only story part i care for and wanted in a show called Acolyte
I didn’t care too much for Yord, but man I’m gonna miss Jecki
Yes!!!
Thank you very much !!..........
🙏🏼
Since most of the cast is dead hopefully the dialogue will pick up for the rest of the series lol 😂😂😂 but some nerds be mad at the filler/ flashbacks when they enjoy them in animation but not in starwars live action gtfo 😂😂😂
😂
This episode was crazy!
Yes so crazy!
The Smilo Ren meme has officially become a canon, Qimir is indeed a REN not a Sith! Padawan is Jedi's pupil, Apprentice is Sith's pupil, and whose pupil is Acolyte?
Thats right, Acolyte is a Ren's pupil!
Yeahhhhhh I can see some Ren stuff potentially coming!
Dude that was so badass!! I’m still feeling all buzzed off that shit 🤯🖤 I was actually starting to really dig Yord so damn…I can’t believe they just did all that. It’s a 10 for me. Really enjoyed ur reaction and thoughts on this too. Cheers🍻
Thank you appreciate it! Yes im still buzzing too!!
Never suspected Qimir fr. Guy looks too young and not menacing enough to be a Sith. Got a really strong feeling he have a stronger and more terrifying master yet to be revealed. Well let's see
Yeah for sure he def has a master above him!
I have similar thoughts/feels as @NostalgicGenius & you stated. This is what I wanted from the beginning & lil better writing throughout. I did like the “sith” dude red saber & mini saber/ cort helmet it was clean af.
Yessssssss! Exactly
If they stick the landing on this season…I mean some of the first episodes were clunky, with awkward dialogue and sketchy character development, but this episode went so hard! They have a chance to really kick it into high for the rest of the season and maybe give us a glimpse of the sith master
Yes exactly!
I love Star Wars Villains 🤤🔥
I need his black series helmet 😱
Yes!!!!!!! Me too
Best episode for sure 😎
hands down.
I actually liked the choreography with smilo ren and jecki this episode just wish the plot of the story was alot better
Yes!
Yeah, agree, i was entertained, watch it twice.
me too! had too!
@@starwarssith66 so I also watched other YT reviews, SWT+, G+G, K. Harloff, I don't understand why they were so upset, it was like they wanted to hate this show no matter how badass the lightsaber fights were, the only fair reviewer was Tyrone M. Anyway i thought i'd reply back.
@@kranwa15 me either i gave up trying to understand other peoples mindset lol if they dont like it thats fine i know i had a good time thats all that matters to me🤷🏻♂️ dont even watch there thoughts on it now cause I dont wanna kill my vibe
I'm mad about Jecki 😢 ( but not about Yord hehe)
I didnt think she would go this early!
@@starwarssith66I know I gasped out loud lol
@@Alicia_1970 yes!
Jecki you gonna be missed a lot 😢😢😢
I was amazed at Jecki’s lightsaber and fighting abilities. She’s better than Ashoka
Smilyo Ren is 🔥 I want a figure of him now RIP to the fallen Jedi, Jecki went in hard fought better than her master Sol
Yessss i want a Hot Toy now of Smile O Ren!
YOU CANNOT FORCE HEAL WITH THE DARK SIDE!
Right? That part we need more info on like was Qimir a jedi before thats how he knows Sol.
@@starwarssith66i think he just remembers sol from when he was interrogated
It's forbidden for Jedi to use dark side powers but it's not forbidden for Sith to use light side powers.
If you paid attention to the episode the sith says he doesn't play by the rules of the jedi
@@starwarssith66 The Dark Side actually can heal, it's a method called Dark Transfer, although it's a Legends Dark Side ability. Except I don't think Qimir was trying to use it.
NAH WHY DID SOL JUST LEAVE YORD AND JECKI'S BODY LIKE THAT! T_T I AM SO BROKEN OMG #Yordhordeforever
So crazy!
The action is the only saving grace. I still have issues with it breaking cannon and overall just being a bad show. It just raises more questions. How in the world did Sol not immediately alert the council? If that isn’t answered there’s a problem. Because everyone should have been alerted. As soon as he stepped foot on that ship. First action call EVERYONE………
There’s this guy who just whipped our fucking ass and murdered everyone. Call the fucking Calvary.
But I will say finally a good 15 minutes
Yeah i think Mae is going to kidnap Sol and there will be that space ship chase in the trailer we saw. I dont think Sol will make it home at all. He cant
@@starwarssith66 why would he wait to get home??? They have advance communication technology. You’re basically there talking to them in person. Call a meeting immediately don’t wait
He already said “I can’t let you know I’m alive. I’m not letting you potentially catch me in a space ship. Also it’s fucking dumb that he let him go. At least cut off an arm or leg. Sure if you’re a Jedi don’t kill him I guess…….even though he just killed 9 people. But you can prevent him from harming anyone else. Cut off his hands
Those lightsaber fights were very cool. I still feel like the second half and some parts in the first half were extremely boring.
Yeah i can see that. I just loved all the lightsaber combat and everything involving the Sith! My fav parts.
Great episode & great story… Watch though, haters are still gonna hate & pick out something insignificant or on screen for a second to fit their anti Disney Star Wars agenda. They just can’t help it lol.
oh exactly and I am not even interested in hearing any of those types of people out. if they didnt like it cool. I went to bed happy yesterday with how much fun this episode was so im good!
Such a sick ep
Yes!!!! So good
Not familiar with the lore of Ren, but Qimir’s outfit looks suspiciously familiar to Ren in the comics and they played a remixed Kylo ren theme in his last scene
Yeah i noticed the Kylo theme at the end too!
Are they gonna say it was originally Qimir’s theme and Kylo just recycled it & that’s where Kylo’s helmet got inspiration ?
Nah Kylo had it first. Unless Qimir is the first Ren and its just the Rens theme.
Dew it Sol! Embrace your anger!! 😅
Let the hate flow Sol!
It was painfully obvious Qimir was the Sith Lord... no surprise there. But the fighting was cool.
💯
Excellent episode. The only question I have is. Who trained him? I still think there is someone over him... How did he get soo powerful
We need those answers!!!
Strange how Qimir says he has no name which hints he’s just a mid- tier acolyte, and not an official apprentice. His training probably comes from not a Sith Lord (cuz he woulda been given a name by now), but a witch mother?
@@williamyee1704 I agree with you. Even Yord mentioned how his fighting skills were different. And then osha mentioned how her mother used the same mind tricks. I my opinion this is a good series. Makes you think and get a different view of the force and how different individuals weild it
