@@yseson_ Absolutely. He was very conflicted and bothered by his actions in the past and in the end, I truly believe he wanted the best for and loved Mae and Osha. The story itself has its problems but Sol was a dope character. Had a big heart but at the same time was a formidable fighter, like a warrior tending to his garden. Wish they kept the character around for at least another season
@pissedoffdude1 I blame the show for not showing the viewers Ansseya using this power before. Viewers of the Clone Wars and players of Jedi Fallen Order are familiar with Nightsister force magick and realize she was teleporting to save Osha once Mae said there was a fire, something viewers of afore mentioned media are familiar with. The writers should've shown the viewers this power before instead of keeping them in the dark as Sol was
So Sol was holding back this whole time. We can see how powerful and talented he is in using the force and wielding light saber. It’s his guilt that led to his demise.
Yeah I seen the show but the problem is that wasn't Sol's mistake. As if I just tranformed into a red demon right in front of you but not explain it you at all. You're nuts if you act like it's normal thing and don't shoot me in the face. I appreciate you trying to tell why he would but the show didn't justify it unfortunately.
@@Very-old-manthe unedited versions yeah. They had the lightsaber rules. The sabers weight between 2 and 5 lbs they aren't lasers, there is a strong gyroscopic effect so it's hard to get them moving fast, they like to stick when close but will violent rebound when to close because of the magnetic containment. Revenge of the sith Anakin vs obi unedited shows how it should be with those rules. Most "sword guys" on youtube think the blade is easy to move and rapier like distance control would work which it wouldn't. The fencing thrust would just catch the defenders blade and he'd just cut back in on you. So the spins in ros uneded make sense. Also they are Jedi they are literally trained to fight opponents from every direction without looking. Turning their back to an enemy doesn't mean the Jedi can't see them. Anyways enjoy then giggle at "this is how light saber fights should work" . Ros unedited is the bible
Lee Jung-Jedi’s acting was so good expressing his emotions through his facial and eye acting. Sol needs to appear in Season 2. Hope Vernestra to hide him somewhere.
@@alstjrqkr689 He learned quite a bit of english for this series, but for some of it he was just reproducing the sounds without knowing what the words actually meant. Thats speaking phonetically.
This is the best lightsaber choreography we've had since the Prequels. I love how they combined that graceful feel but also keeping the intensity of the OT.
I would argue that it isn't. It just looks like any fight from asian kung-fu / other martial arts movie. Just doesn't fit in Star Wars lore. And I am a big fan of Star Wars and Asian martial arts movies. I immediately knew that qimir character was also asian by his fighting moves.
I'd argue that it's even _better_ than in the prequels. There, the fights are elaborate and fun, but they look very choreographed, more like a dance than a fight. Half the time it doesn't even feel like the characters are trying to hit each other. Here, combat is much more visceral, intense and aggressive. It combined the best parts of OT and prequel fights. The Acolyte is an insanely underrated show
@@Thebutterlord-1000 Yes. I watched the prequels. Almost every day for several years. I know most of the fights by heart. I watched the behind-the-scenes test footage. And I have choreographed, directed and animated fight scenes of my own. I'd say I'm pretty experienced in the matter. So I can confidently say that yes, this fight is not only amazing, but better than most, if not all prequel fights.
@@guicaldo7164 damn idk that's just your opinion I think the slow motion is unnecessary and bad, the girl Osha or whatever she's called couldn't have trounced Sol since they made him so strong defeating this Sith also the story of the show is bad so it makes the fight seen worse. it's no duel of fates or obione vs General Grievous. it's better then what Disney did before but it's still not the best in my opinion. they don't understand power scaling because of the Osha seen
Master Sol was amazing. Truly one of the most powerful Jedi we have ever seen on screen. Wrecked the Stranger twice and was saved by plot armor. Wish they kept him for season 2
@@sniperaim333 you are right I’m insane. But disney Star Wars absolutely sucks. Andor goated. At least in this show they weren’t afraid to be violent and have lightsabers be fatal🤣
Kylo didn't have the training either of these do. This was approaching the height of the Jedi. Kylo only really had Luke and what Snoke taught him, neither light saber masters. Kylo and Rey were worse to show the decline of training and skill that happened.
Agree , I like how they even bothered to incorporate the canon lightsaber styles into the duels, it makes re-watching them & analyzing each characters fighting style, really fun.
@LucianPosey yes! I thought showing off the Shoto? (Short) saber by suprise like that was very cool. Also adding in the saber resistant bescar was great They had it going for them in some episodes but ruined the whole thing. What they did good though I won't take away from them just because the writers weren't reviewed more
I hear one of the goals with this show was to give us the best lightsaber duels since the day of the Prequels. Say what you will about Acolyte, but they definitely accomplished that much 😊
2:57 I don't understand why he didn't just quickly pull out the Shoto saber and counterattack / keep fighting here. There was a silly long pause and everything.
saber battles have long been reminiscent of old samurai tales/duels. its about respect and acknowledging he lost i guess. but also, you never know: he's a sith. i was thinking bro is 100% feinting a surrender
Because using a shoto against a lightsaber leaves Qimir at an extreme disadvantage in terms of reach. Sol can just keep distance with him and Qimir would never be close enough to land a hit, all while being within reach of sols blade. It's too much of a risk for not enough benefit, especially when Qimir knows sol wont kill him unless forced to.
"This is the best fan SW film duel I've seen" "Wtf who is this kid" - (at the end) "Oh its her--oh wait, this is "canon"?" thoughts I had watching this.
Yanno out of the whole series I didn’t have any complaints over the saber fights. They were well done and manny deserves his flowers for this ultimate mad man performance when he’s fighting he’s ruthless and unpredictable he’d fit in nicely in that modern era (prequels) he def would’ve given obi wan and Anakin a run. Qimir was probably the dark lords apprentice before palps (if we’re making this canon- I don’t really want to but if it is it is) I’m more or less open to a series with manny but he’s gotta be the main character
Awesome scene,... Sure beats the pitiful choreography in the acolight with Ahsoka vs whoever,... you can always see the difference between someone who understands realism.
I haven’t watched a single episode (and likely won’t) but these fights are top notch. Excellent lightsaber work here from Disney -an unexpected if welcome surprise
Since whenever they feel like it? We know little about this era and it's Jedi or their traditions at this time. I REALLY want to know about that 'whip' lightsaber. Sooo cool....and different. Scary bad in a fight imo
I'm partly surprised they didn't have Sol kill Qimir only for Osha to go nuts about him attacking and killing someone who was unarmed, despite the fact they'd been fighting for the last few minutes.
The Jedi do still duel, just ceromonially. Plus, its probably more instinct and trusting the force to guide him than actual experience. Sol is clearly talented.
A good Jedi would always be ready for the unexpected in combat. Sol is obviously a great Jedi in combat AND sensitivity given what was was shown. And pure force push was sick
This movie is about embracing Yin AND Yang both… Light & dark (Ocea & Mae), accepting that light & dark are not “good or bad” or “right or wrong,” but just another natural polar opposite as up & down or cold & hot. EVERYONE has a dark side within; a bright light WILL cast a dark shadow. It’s just nature. The movie explores a cult of witches that tattoo themselves with a yin/yang symbol repping their appreciation & embrace of that balance. The witches were a private culture minding their business, embracing their powers like any tribe would practice its own religion. They use the force as a natural talent to its fullest, open-minded potential and we empathize Qimir’s ideas that the Jedi are the bad guys; like cops abusing their power. Making rules, limiting potential… Forcing entry into this witch tribe’s home & literally stealing their children in the name of “what’s best for them” like Child Protective Services. I knew yin/yang would flip in the end, & Ocea would end up being the acolyte. I promise if you re-binge every episode, you will enjoy this a hell of a lot more.
Image if we had a show or better yet a movie trilogy about Revan defeating the mando forces in 3976 BBY and then turned to the Dark Side by Vitiate becoming Darth Revan. then the trilogy after is about The Eternal Empire with Satele Shan, Darth Malgus and Lord Valkorion. Fans would go crazy seeing the Eternal Twins cut down Jedi and Sith left and right as them dominate the galaxy. End Game level of a cinematic fight Could have Revan be redeemed by his own great grand daughter Satele Shan (a real power house unlike Ray) and they destroy Lord Valkorion and the Eternal Empire together!
This was an incredible duel (and I think it's one of my favourites). The actors did a terrific job with their roles. Kudos to them. I just think it's a shame that the overall story was terrible. The character of Master Sol would have been amazing if it was utilized properly.
The show definitely isn't perfect, but it does so many things so well that I honestly really hope we get another season. The portrayal of the Jedi, Sol's complex character, the dynamic between the Osha and the Stranger, and the unbelievably cool fight choreography genuinely made me excited for the last few episodes. (They referenced wuxia, and kendo, and aikido, and all the other martial arts forms and media that inspired the original trilogy!! I honestly don't care about inconsistency in the lore, I'm a DC Comics fan, a little bit of contradiction doesn't scare me.) Honestly, just get someone to revise the dialogue a few more times and I think this could be up there.
I'm not exaggerating when I say this has been my favorite of all the SW shows. I didn't think it was possible to replace Ahsoka as my favorite but sure enough. Acolyte pulled it off.
@@blasterare12 AND HIS BICEPS ARE SO GOOD. I'm glad someone said it because I was scared to but... he's perfect. Honestly I hope the show doesn't get cancelled because if I don't see more sith Manny Jacinto doing choreo and walking around shirtless I'm going to be distraught!!!
@@eddie6198 Yeah no, it's honestly thematically pretty strong. Even the people I've seen who hate it are like “...Okay, Sol's arc is extremely compelling.” Sol and the Stranger represent really real and understandable reactions to scenarios that, while fictional, are meant to be paralleled to our own. The choreo is good, the casting is good, the set design is good, and I even really like the use of forested environments (which, while bog standard in sci fi thanks to British Columbia production costs, are always fun no matter what).

That helmet, never seen one soo effective in battle . Thing shuts off your lightsaber.
Yah there’s an entire lore of the material used. It’s a shame that show was so trash that it turns the mask a joke.
Image if we had a show or better yet a movie trilogy about Revan defeating the mando forces in 3976 BBY and then turned to the Dark Side by Vitiate becoming Darth Revan.
then the trilogy after is about The Eternal Empire with Satele Shan, Darth Malgus and Lord Valkorion. Fans would go crazy seeing the Eternal Twins cut down Jedi and Sith left and right as them dominate the galaxy. End Game level of a cinematic fight
Could have Revan be redeemed by his own great grand daughter Satele Shan (a real power house unlike Ray) and they destroy Lord Valkorion and the Eternal Empire together!
This duel between Sol and Qimir is decent just like all the other lightsaber duels in this show.
Honestly one of the best in the franchise, the choreography definitely beats a lot of the prequels
If you dont know pls dont talk
This was an incredible duel (and I think it's one of my favourites). The actors did a terrific job with their roles. Kudos to them. I just think it's a shame that the overall story was terrible. The character of Master Sol would have been amazing if it was utilized properly.
They used nerve agents, nukes, atomics, shapeshifting alchemy, and weather and weapons on me.
The show definitely isn't perfect, but it does so many things so well that I honestly really hope we get another season. The portrayal of the Jedi, Sol's complex character, the dynamic between the Osha and the Stranger, and the unbelievably cool fight choreography genuinely made me excited for the last few episodes. (They referenced wuxia, and kendo, and aikido, and all the other martial arts forms and media that inspired the original trilogy!! I honestly don't care about inconsistency in the lore, I'm a DC Comics fan, a little bit of contradiction doesn't scare me.) Honestly, just get someone to revise the dialogue a few more times and I think this could be up there.
Qimir's biceps are good too
I'm not exaggerating when I say this has been my favorite of all the SW shows. I didn't think it was possible to replace Ahsoka as my favorite but sure enough. Acolyte pulled it off.
@@blasterare12 AND HIS BICEPS ARE SO GOOD. I'm glad someone said it because I was scared to but... he's perfect. Honestly I hope the show doesn't get cancelled because if I don't see more sith Manny Jacinto doing choreo and walking around shirtless I'm going to be distraught!!!
@@eddie6198 Yeah no, it's honestly thematically pretty strong. Even the people I've seen who hate it are like “...Okay, Sol's arc is extremely compelling.” Sol and the Stranger represent really real and understandable reactions to scenarios that, while fictional, are meant to be paralleled to our own. The choreo is good, the casting is good, the set design is good, and I even really like the use of forested environments (which, while bog standard in sci fi thanks to British Columbia production costs, are always fun no matter what).
@@eyeballplanets ew lol when did starwars become twighlight
Me : have you heard the tale known as the tragedy of Master Sol??...
Me: He died. The end
One of the best lightsabre fights
