His helmet and gauntlets are Cortius weaves. I'm so happy that they brought this to live action and I hope they keep bringing stuff like this because one of the main criticisms that have always existed with Star Wars fights since the very first movie is that due to the extremely validity and 360° cutting edge of the lightsaber, you lose a lot of Dynamics that exist in Ariel's sword fighting such as the ability to avoid a downwards drive from your opponent step on his sword so he can't move it and then kill him while he's exposed. Because they added that sort of countermeasures as well as some of the clever choreography. This has been the most dynamic lightsaber fight since the duel of the Fates, and I really hope whoever designed these fights get to work on every future Star Wars fight with even more prep time and a higher budget.
I gasped at Jakie's death. That was nuts. N Yord got Steven Segalled n tossed aside. But man Jackie held her own using Jarr Kai. I want to know how quimir disabled their lightsabers like that. The next few eps are gonna be nuts. 1. Mae is gonna be with the jedi so she will learn things that will probably get her to turn to the light. 2. With Ohsa now with Quimir he could be training her to be his next acolyte. Which I'm thinking is to take out the true sith lord so he can as he say "be free to use his power" cuz even in the sith free from the rules of the jedi he needed to remind hidden. N he doesn't want to do that. I'm thinking he was training one of the twins to help him take the sith lord out. N he will do so by unlocking memories of her past n showing her why Sol couldn't be trusted. N it could push her over the edge to join. Quimir. I'm excited for the next ep. How will high council react to the deaths of these jedi n the sudden emergence of the sith. Will they sweep it under the rug or what? Cuz in ep 1 they still believe the sith to be extinct. It wasn't till master Qui gon Jinn's encounter with Darth maul on tattoonie that the high council starts to slowly investigate Qui gons claims. N only after his death n Master Yaddle's death did they start to make their moves
I really really hope they keep him around for a couple more seasons and don't kill him off at the end of this one. We don't have enough longer lasting villains in these shows
“You brought her here.” I feel like this line is so crucial to indicate how far the Jedi are slipping, because Jecki was in her late teens at this point, and a hundred years later, the Jedi are sending 12-14 year old Padawans to the frontlines of war, fighting alongside 10-year-old mass produced soldiers.
@@talisredstar1543 The entire point of the Clone Wars was to show that it *wasn’t* the Jedi’s duty to act as soldiers and generals, at the beck and call of the Senate, as that was part of what led them astray. And Master or not, you’re putting a preteen in the frontline of a galactic war. That’s not duty- that’s irresponsibility and negligence, at best. Honestly, it’s child abuse.
For real! She not only humbled Mae but went toe to toe with a dark sider that sliced through more experienced knights. Jecki and Sol fighting together is now my favorite scene in the show
@@karl-niclas_burner Qimir killed the wookie it looks like. Presumably to stop Mae on her plan, because Mae told Qimir that she was going to surrender to Kelnacca.
@@lso8000 - yup. She said the master would kill her if she failed. That caused her to panic and betray him. And that made it so everyone had to die, rather than him being revealed.
Fucking brutal, did not expect that move in a disney show, cool that you stab and then force pull another guy onto the same blade but then do a decapitation of both of stabbed jedi, I was shocked at that scene but I fucking loved it!
guessing that after the complaints of the non-fatality of lightsaber stabs Disney wanted us to know for sure that he was definitely killing them. probably also why he triple stabbed Jecki.
If the head is at an extreme angle such as chin to chest or all the way back (looking straight up) and the head is violently twisted, Boom…broke ass neck. Likewise, if you have someone in a rear naked choke and you suddenly drop to the ground, that’s a broke ass neck and, possibly a crushed windpipe. So yes, possible but must be done extremely violently and with the person’s head at an extreme angle in order to work.
For those who dont know, the Siths armor is made out of cortosis. Cortosis has the properties of shutting down lightsabers and absorbing blaster bolts. But its also extremely fragile to impacts which is why its not viable for weapons. Its also the reason the siths helmet broke from the apprentice bashing her lightsaber on the helmet
Can we talk about how badass Jecki was on her 2nd ever mission. A fully grown Jecki would have been a true sight to see, she was awesome. Dafne Keen did such an amazing job 👏 🙌
Basil can smell the difference between Osha and Mae, but only Yord could speak Basil's language, so who's he gonna be able to tell? Basil's gonna be screaming at Sol and he gonna wonder what the heck's his problem, 😄
I am pretty sure his music towards the end is almost identical to kylos music in awakens, and that shot of osha shooting him is eerily similar to Rey shooting kylo. He also doesn't want an apprentice but an acolyte which seems to fall outside the rule of two. I think we may be seeing the start of the knights of ren here, and there is a sith lord pulling his strings and the girls as well
@@EricDKaufman I don't think so. He himself states that what he is has no name, but that the Jedi might call him a Sith. He doesn't deal in black and white (AKA no absolutes) which is another point against him being sith. Like yes, he knows the Sith code, or at least part of it, but that just means he has knowledge of the sith, not that he is one. He doesn't seem to answer to anyone, he just wants to live his life in the dark side with a pupil of his own. The man is not sith, he's just a dark-side user, and the closest term the jedi have for what he is, is Sith
Yeah off course while its obvious for everybody Putin is the closest to modern nazi, he still says the ukrainians are nazis...... evil doesnt think they are evil.
BTW, Qimir does not have tattoos on his arms. According the “Descriptive Audio” track, “his muscular arms are covered with bruises, grime, and battle scars.”
I just want to say I appreciate how non-toxic your channel is. I know you'll be critical about certain things but you're consistent. You haven't gone in to the grift that comes with hating all things Star Wars. I'm seeing so many channels suddenly amplify some really bad people - it's really disappointing because they've fronted as progressives but now that there is more money in hate, they're going all fascist with it. So kudos for not being those kind of people. Also I LOVED THIS EPISODE 10/10 FOR THE CHOREOGRAPHY ALONE.
One thing that stands out is the fact that the Jedi hadn't fought anyone who knew how to use a lightsaber in centuries. It's how he took so many out so fast. Sol was the most experienced so he was able overcome. Jeki was young but a natural which is why she was able to fight him for so long.
Thank you for being a positive influence on the Internet man. So many people just hate things for content and clicks, but the Internet has made us forget we are fans first.
I really like this show, i don't understand ppl that hate it... Honestly, they haven't read anything from the expanded universe, this show has a lot of SWTOR vibes
I’m glad that you guys are watching and enjoying this show, most other platforms are totally bashing this show. We gotta enjoy what we have instead of looking for the worst in everything. Thanks
We honestly don't need to look for it though. It's like saying you going to a restaurant and they served you a plate filled to the brim with horse manure and dead maggots, your kids complain, as they should, and you say to them: "well, we shan't be going about LOOKING for the worst in everything now, shall we?"
Qimir or whatever his actual name is said that a Jedi might call him Sith, but he might not actually be trained by someone of the line going back to Bane. He might have uncovered forbidden knowledge independently. It's possible this ends with the Jedi concluding that he was not a true Sith and the whole thing was a false alarm. Or Sol gets killed and no one ever knows wtf happened. Guess we'll see.
One of the things that I love that they're keeping up is that essentially not only because of their core methodologies. But after the sith Empire fell during the Old Republic that because they've had to slim down with the rule of two and in the minority they've now basically adapted ninja techniques. You really see that in this episode with arsith character. It's just nothing but deception all the way down. Is also interesting and hilarious because the Jedi also have similar tactics such as Yoda and Luke Skywalker and some degree Obi-Wan Kenobi. Being portrayed as feble and weak when in reality there's some of the most scariest powerful forces imaginable.
I'm usually a silent watcher, never really commenting but I absolutely love watching both of your reactions. When you said, "They're not going to kill the main three." Me 😵💫 after having gasped, jaw dropped a few times, and was so shocked by the turn of events. 😢
I've been following you guys for a while but you're now my new favorite reactors. You know Star Wars lore so much and love this show for what it is. I'm so tired of other Star Wars fans and reactors hating on this and Star Wars now in general just for clicks. Thank you for your giddy enthusiasm .
The way Qimir made a kebab out of two jedi then slit their throats 😨 for a bunch of new characters with zero legacy, this is IMO the best attempt at good saber choreo and drama in a long longtime.
i appreciate you guys so much. I’m one of many that didn’t like this show for writing but! i do appreciate a lot of others effects costume. I also just like the fact that you guys aren’t purely hating this show. 💯 all the other star wars channels are just pure hate and i don’t want to just hate it
This episode was awesome, the fight scenes were insane wow !!! The master with no name was a badass, I want more!!! I’m really sad that Jecki’s dead 😢 RIP Jecki and Yord. Another great reaction May the force be with you guys ❤
I love how Qmir's "HELLO!" to Mae is similar to his and Osha's "Hi.... Hi................... hi...." fake friendly voice exchange in episode 3, but to Mae instead.
The thing is Qimir didn't say he was a Sith, he said the Jedi would call him a Sith, Qimir said he had no name. Also, I have seen on Twitter that at some point Kylo Ren's music was playing with Qimir on screen, might be an origin story for Knights of Ren.
Thanks to Kyle, Bendu and Nerd Chronic! 🌑 It's great to see the energy absorption metal *cortosis* brought into live-action. 🔸 Did you notice a bit of the 'Kylo Ren' theme played as 'Qimir' approached 'Osha' and knelt, near the end?
@@KyleKatarnChannelAcolite episode 5 is the best star wars thing I have ever seen. These fights and choreography surpassed both the Phantom Menace movie and the clone wars episode.
There's actually a VERY similar if not identical theme figuring already in E1. With that and the kintsugi helmetwork, have TKOR been hiding in plain sight all this time? "You'd call me a Sith" - i e he's not saying he IS one. I can try to return with the time stamp, but it's highlighted in @starwarsmusicalanalysis review of E1, and I really think his channel deserves much more attention. Good music is often not only "there" to create a mood, it's telling large chunks of story that we otherwise miss, making connections, nuancing characters, and planting various Easter Eggs.
The Bracer and the Helmet are TOTALLY Kortosis. Also, I don't think either Mae or Osha have the Full story... Here is my Take on what happened... The Jedi came to get Osha, and Mother Koril saw it as an Invasion. She then Mind controlled Kelnaaca and Mother Anasaya tried to step in to stop it and got sabered. This is when Mae comes in and sees her "Mother" get cut down by the Jedi. Then it was all out battle leaving everyone dead. Sol & Mae go to get Osha(from different directions). We see Mae fall and Sol rescue Osha and when they get back to the ship there is some kind of mind wipe on Osha to have her not recall what she saw. And she wakes up on the ship some time later, after Korbin's wound is healed.
I have a sinking feeling that how we see Sol is about to be heavily challenged; we’re past the halfway point now. We feel like Osha in the way we trust him and I dunno about yall but Qimir gave me an unsettled feeling when he made that comment. Yorde was right, he got in my head and STAYED😭😭
Have to disagree with Bendu here. Qimir is pure evil, he's not similar to the witches at all. The witches r like "we're a religious community that's not fully ok, but neither r u tbh, let us exist". Qimir (and the sith in general) is like "I'm gonna blow up this hospital full of babies because I'm free and I can". He is however very good at making himself seem similar to the witches, which he does on purpose.
Thank you for the continued positivity. Great breakdown! Quimir strikes me as a youngling or even former padawan that was over aggressive and petulant, and probably kept building up anger for being kept in check. Classic anime villain origin story.
Your reaction was sick. I love watching people who genuinely love Star Wars for Star Wars watch this show. It might not be the perfect show, but it has some super cool moments, and seeing you light up in excitement makes me not feel so alone in appreciating some of those moments.
Loved this episode. Struggling to care about Mae and Osha because I'm not a fan of the actress' line delivery. But seeing people still crying online about this show over absolutely nothing reasons is just insane. People complaining about his helmet short-circuiting a ligthsaber when it's clear Cortosis shows that these people are crying for the sake of it and don't care about the lore which they apparently cared about so much when it came to Ki-Adi-Mundi's age. Leslie Headland clearly knows the lore and is loving putting this stuff in. Is the show perfect? Absolutely not, but people are hating on it before it even came out because of her comments about Females in Star Wars. Twitter especially is a just filled with hate for this show but they never give genuine reasons.
I loved this episode I know everyone is obsessed with that quote the sith have been extinct for a millennium but people forget what Yoda said ah hard to see the dark side is
Hell yeah! After the drama of what happened in real-life on the socials recently, we most definitely needed the impact of this episode. Holy cow! What an episode! The choreography was phenomenal! So many people died, and even though I had a feeling that Jecki and Yorde might die. my God, they actually did. Gone. But the biggest question remains... WTF did Sol do that many years ago at the witch's convent?
The action choreography in this series has been extremely good. This episode in particular, reminds me SO MUCH of the cinematics for the video game Star Wars: The Old Republic. Darth Teeth had some Malgus level cold blooded ruthlessness as well as abilities. Favorite episode by far so far, but I think it's skewed by the incredible action sequences lol
Ok, I think this episode is making me lean into the possibility that Qimir IS The Acolyte. What if he is trying to get a pupil to help take out an apprentice Sith Lord that has been training him to do the same thing to the Master. His clothes are very reminiscent of Ventress' clothes when we meet her. And he says " I have no name". We know how important a Sith getting his name is. Mae has been a red herring the whole time.
Mae is not inconsistent in her constantly reverse statements. She is a sociopath. She is always on her side. She will say whatever suits her to achieve whatever she wants. The only true desire she has is to harness the power of the twins for her own gain. If she cant have Osha for herself then even Osha means nothing to her.
If Mae thought the only way to avoid her master killing her was to turn herself in to the Jedi, that idea would have been erased after he starts killing them off left and right. So it was back to plan A, which was running away.
First episode I actually enjoyed for the most part. We got some cool and brutal fights and have to say Smilo Ren is officially my favorite character. He interesting, dangerous, snarky anf and a legit badass.
i'm so glad they didn't attempt to subvert expectations with the qimir reveal. it was like the audience was invited to be in on it and that qimir was begging mae to see through his bumbling fool act. the whole your eyes deceive you theme is so strong.
Talking about the marketing - they even used IMDB to lie to us. After the premiere curiosity of "do you really get Moss for like 5 minutes." got the better of me. It listed basically everyone as 8 episodes and her as 1... Then e3 dropped and they changed her to 2. And today they've obviously shortened a few other numbers ... This episode was so great and I'm still reeling for words, but wow - makes me really want to see next week. See you folks over there.
One thing I noticed is that he said that a Jedi like Sol would CALL him that, it doesn’t mean he is that. Because the only true force wielders in the Jedis eyes are the Jedi. I also am surprised no one so far in my eyes notices how he doesn’t have the sith eyes
Absolutely brutal episode, I can't wait to see what actually happened with the Witches and I love the fact that it may be Sol responsible. The absolute beauty in the writing if they make you love Sol to reveal that it was his fault all along would be incredible.
The cortosis helmet headbutt to short out the lightsabers was something i never knew i needed to see
His helmet and gauntlets are Cortius weaves. I'm so happy that they brought this to live action and I hope they keep bringing stuff like this because one of the main criticisms that have always existed with Star Wars fights since the very first movie is that due to the extremely validity and 360° cutting edge of the lightsaber, you lose a lot of Dynamics that exist in Ariel's sword fighting such as the ability to avoid a downwards drive from your opponent step on his sword so he can't move it and then kill him while he's exposed. Because they added that sort of countermeasures as well as some of the clever choreography. This has been the most dynamic lightsaber fight since the duel of the Fates, and I really hope whoever designed these fights get to work on every future Star Wars fight with even more prep time and a higher budget.
I had to rewind when I saw that happen. Just, wait, does the guy have cortosis for his helmet and brace? That was pretty neat!

It's like saying you going to a restaurant and they served you a plate filled to the brim with horse manure and dead maggots, your kids complain, as they should, and you say to them: "well, we shan't be going about LOOKING for the worst in everything now, shall we?"
It’s kinda wild that two shows (The Acolyte and HotD) both did a twin swap in the same week!
I heard about that! I just caught up on HotD, and that's just so funny to me.
Qimir or whatever his actual name is said that a Jedi might call him Sith, but he might not actually be trained by someone of the line going back to Bane. He might have uncovered forbidden knowledge independently. It's possible this ends with the Jedi concluding that he was not a true Sith and the whole thing was a false alarm. Or Sol gets killed and no one ever knows wtf happened. Guess we'll see.
One of the things that I love that they're keeping up is that essentially not only because of their core methodologies. But after the sith Empire fell during the Old Republic that because they've had to slim down with the rule of two and in the minority they've now basically adapted ninja techniques. You really see that in this episode with arsith character. It's just nothing but deception all the way down. Is also interesting and hilarious because the Jedi also have similar tactics such as Yoda and Luke Skywalker and some degree Obi-Wan Kenobi. Being portrayed as feble and weak when in reality there's some of the most scariest powerful forces imaginable.
I am guessing he is a former padawan, somehow connected to Sol, maybe even Sol's son.
"Heal" is a light side ability.
You guys are so good with the lore, which, perhaps not surprisingly, the haters are not. 😂
Qimir makes Kylo look like a chump XD
The hello from Qimir was creepy and got me nervous and creeped out.
I'm usually a silent watcher, never really commenting but I absolutely love watching both of your reactions.
When you said, "They're not going to kill the main three."
Me 😵💫 after having gasped, jaw dropped a few times, and was so shocked by the turn of events. 😢
I've been following you guys for a while but you're now my new favorite reactors. You know Star Wars lore so much and love this show for what it is. I'm so tired of other Star Wars fans and reactors hating on this and Star Wars now in general just for clicks. Thank you for your giddy enthusiasm .
You two are the best for providing details and positive vibes about SW. Keep up the good work.
Jecki was one of my favorites and this episode broke my heart!
The way Qimir made a kebab out of two jedi then slit their throats 😨 for a bunch of new characters with zero legacy, this is IMO the best attempt at good saber choreo and drama in a long longtime.
i appreciate you guys so much. I’m one of many that didn’t like this show for writing but! i do appreciate a lot of others effects costume. I also just like the fact that you guys aren’t purely hating this show. 💯 all the other star wars channels are just pure hate and i don’t want to just hate it
This episode was awesome, the fight scenes were insane wow !!! The master with no name was a badass, I want more!!!
I’m really sad that Jecki’s dead 😢 RIP Jecki and Yord. Another great reaction May the force be with you guys ❤
Sol "Who needs a saber when you got these hands?"
The choreography in this show is insane and mannu jacinto as a sith is something i did not knoe i needed
Darth Tenebrous was Darth Plaguegis' master in case people forgot. Those fights were nuts! Best episode yet!
I love how Qmir's "HELLO!" to Mae is similar to his and Osha's "Hi.... Hi................... hi...." fake friendly voice exchange in episode 3, but to Mae instead.
The thing is Qimir didn't say he was a Sith, he said the Jedi would call him a Sith, Qimir said he had no name.
Also, I have seen on Twitter that at some point Kylo Ren's music was playing with Qimir on screen, might be an origin story for Knights of Ren.
I thought I was the only one who noticed that musical cue, glad to know I'm not alone
The actor who played Qimir confirmed he is a Sith Lord
@@MaiaGothmog no he didn't, my understanding is the interviewer said he was, Manny didn't confirm or deny it.
I am still shocked, sad, and excited all at the same time! Love this show. Let's go!!!!!
Thanks to Kyle, Bendu and Nerd Chronic! 🌑 It's great to see the energy absorption metal *cortosis* brought into live-action. 🔸 Did you notice a bit of the 'Kylo Ren' theme played as 'Qimir' approached 'Osha' and knelt, near the end?
Kylo's theme AND force heals? The sequels got some love tonight 🔥
@@KyleKatarnChannelAcolite episode 5 is the best star wars thing I have ever seen. These fights and choreography surpassed both the Phantom Menace movie and the clone wars episode.
@@KyleKatarnChannel Absolutely! 💥
There's actually a VERY similar if not identical theme figuring already in E1. With that and the kintsugi helmetwork, have TKOR been hiding in plain sight all this time?
"You'd call me a Sith" - i e he's not saying he IS one.
I can try to return with the time stamp, but it's highlighted in @starwarsmusicalanalysis review of E1, and I really think his channel deserves much more attention. Good music is often not only "there" to create a mood, it's telling large chunks of story that we otherwise miss, making connections, nuancing characters, and planting various Easter Eggs.
@@MiaNilsson-x6m It's true, Mia! 🤓
The Bracer and the Helmet are TOTALLY Kortosis. Also, I don't think either Mae or Osha have the Full story... Here is my Take on what happened... The Jedi came to get Osha, and Mother Koril saw it as an Invasion. She then Mind controlled Kelnaaca and Mother Anasaya tried to step in to stop it and got sabered. This is when Mae comes in and sees her "Mother" get cut down by the Jedi. Then it was all out battle leaving everyone dead. Sol & Mae go to get Osha(from different directions). We see Mae fall and Sol rescue Osha and when they get back to the ship there is some kind of mind wipe on Osha to have her not recall what she saw. And she wakes up on the ship some time later, after Korbin's wound is healed.
I have a sinking feeling that how we see Sol is about to be heavily challenged; we’re past the halfway point now. We feel like Osha in the way we trust him and I dunno about yall but Qimir gave me an unsettled feeling when he made that comment. Yorde was right, he got in my head and STAYED😭😭
Have to disagree with Bendu here. Qimir is pure evil, he's not similar to the witches at all. The witches r like "we're a religious community that's not fully ok, but neither r u tbh, let us exist". Qimir (and the sith in general) is like "I'm gonna blow up this hospital full of babies because I'm free and I can". He is however very good at making himself seem similar to the witches, which he does on purpose.
Thank you for the continued positivity. Great breakdown!
Quimir strikes me as a youngling or even former padawan that was over aggressive and petulant, and probably kept building up anger for being kept in check. Classic anime villain origin story.
Well, the red-shirts sure got red-shirted, but then they were like, "But WAIT, there's MORE!"
Worth the wait Kyle and Bendu!!!!🎉⚡🤘 "Not killing are main three" Oh Priceless Stay awesome guys 🙏🎆
The easy, level-headed, no-foam-in-the-mouth responses I see to this show have been refreshing.
He specifically says he’s nothing, but that the Jedi will call him Sith. He doesn’t even have Sith eyes.
Neither did Dooku
I was thinking the same. He said he's nothing but that's what the Jadi would call him.
One thing that stood out to me during the fights is something eerie: you don't hear Qmir walking or running. His footsteps are silent...
Your reaction was sick. I love watching people who genuinely love Star Wars for Star Wars watch this show. It might not be the perfect show, but it has some super cool moments, and seeing you light up in excitement makes me not feel so alone in appreciating some of those moments.
The good twin sister may turn BAD -SITH and the bad twin may turn GOOD.
Loved this episode. Struggling to care about Mae and Osha because I'm not a fan of the actress' line delivery. But seeing people still crying online about this show over absolutely nothing reasons is just insane. People complaining about his helmet short-circuiting a ligthsaber when it's clear Cortosis shows that these people are crying for the sake of it and don't care about the lore which they apparently cared about so much when it came to Ki-Adi-Mundi's age. Leslie Headland clearly knows the lore and is loving putting this stuff in. Is the show perfect? Absolutely not, but people are hating on it before it even came out because of her comments about Females in Star Wars. Twitter especially is a just filled with hate for this show but they never give genuine reasons.
I loved this episode I know everyone is obsessed with that quote the sith have been extinct for a millennium but people forget what Yoda said ah hard to see the dark side is
His helmet amd gauntlet are made of cortosis, its a brittle metal able to disrupt lightsabers from legends
Made this comment before I got to yall realizing it was cortosis XD
As a huge fan of the Bane trilogy, I screamed “CORTOSIS HELMET” in pure joy
GREAT fighting Choreography 💪🏾
Hell yeah! After the drama of what happened in real-life on the socials recently, we most definitely needed the impact of this episode. Holy cow! What an episode! The choreography was phenomenal! So many people died, and even though I had a feeling that Jecki and Yorde might die. my God, they actually did. Gone.
But the biggest question remains... WTF did Sol do that many years ago at the witch's convent?
yord's death was the lesson to Mae. That's how you kill a Jedi without a weapon.
They have nailed the fighting, it was the best lightsaber fighting in the Disney era, LOVED every single second of it!
The snap ...then the rag doll force toss.Bad Man Style
Episode 5 of each of the live action Star Wars shows. Every damn time.
Well also Ep. 6 Of TBoBF....
This was really epic and brutal. Jackie and Yord? Damn
The action choreography in this series has been extremely good. This episode in particular, reminds me SO MUCH of the cinematics for the video game Star Wars: The Old Republic. Darth Teeth had some Malgus level cold blooded ruthlessness as well as abilities. Favorite episode by far so far, but I think it's skewed by the incredible action sequences lol
16:39 so that insanity power is what palpatine uses when he screams in ROTS
The slow spin you did in your chair when Yord died 😭😭
Kyle, you know people really enjoyed this episode when they are seen in their yards with their kids playing with their lightsabers. 😊
I have been looking forward for this and is so cool to see cortosis in action
That fight choreography was insane! You two always have the best reaction.
Ok, I think this episode is making me lean into the possibility that Qimir IS The Acolyte. What if he is trying to get a pupil to help take out an apprentice Sith Lord that has been training him to do the same thing to the Master. His clothes are very reminiscent of Ventress' clothes when we meet her. And he says " I have no name". We know how important a Sith getting his name is. Mae has been a red herring the whole time.
Qimir is the Apprentice but who is the Master?
Darth Tenebrous
@@MaiaGothmog I wonder if they’re actually doing a version of Darth Venamis and Qimir is a canon version of Naat Lare.
@@Lilac-and-Gooseberrieswas thinking Derth Venamis too
Mae is not inconsistent in her constantly reverse statements. She is a sociopath. She is always on her side. She will say whatever suits her to achieve whatever she wants. The only true desire she has is to harness the power of the twins for her own gain. If she cant have Osha for herself then even Osha means nothing to her.
Right. Last episode she wanted to turn herself in, and instead of letting Jecki take her in, she fought against her
If Mae thought the only way to avoid her master killing her was to turn herself in to the Jedi, that idea would have been erased after he starts killing them off left and right. So it was back to plan A, which was running away.
First episode I actually enjoyed for the most part. We got some cool and brutal fights and have to say Smilo Ren is officially my favorite character. He interesting, dangerous, snarky anf and a legit badass.
For me he felt like a character from SWTOR being a terrifying sith but yet funny. But I
Mourn Yord and Jacki so so much
One of the best battle choreographies I've seen in SW. Just my opinion.
Just when Qimir begins to heal Osha's wound. The kylo ren theme plays and a monotone trumpet reprise. I have a feeling he is the first knight of ren
That dual lightsaber dagger is sick af
This episode was truly insane we knew a lot of them were gunna die but it still hurts
i'm so glad they didn't attempt to subvert expectations with the qimir reveal. it was like the audience was invited to be in on it and that qimir was begging mae to see through his bumbling fool act. the whole your eyes deceive you theme is so strong.
YES! I love how he was basically Evil Yoda with that act.
Talking about the marketing - they even used IMDB to lie to us. After the premiere curiosity of "do you really get Moss for like 5 minutes." got the better of me.
It listed basically everyone as 8 episodes and her as 1... Then e3 dropped and they changed her to 2.
And today they've obviously shortened a few other numbers ...
This episode was so great and I'm still reeling for words, but wow - makes me really want to see next week. See you folks over there.
And Qimir proved to Mae a Jedi can be killed without a lightsaber… lol she had a front row seat for his demonstration.
I’m so curious about Qimir. Like I want to know who his master is and how the Two Sith eventually get to Plagueis and Palps.
One thing I noticed is that he said that a Jedi like Sol would CALL him that, it doesn’t mean he is that. Because the only true force wielders in the Jedis eyes are the Jedi. I also am surprised no one so far in my eyes notices how he doesn’t have the sith eyes
Absolutely brutal episode, I can't wait to see what actually happened with the Witches and I love the fact that it may be Sol responsible.
The absolute beauty in the writing if they make you love Sol to reveal that it was his fault all along would be incredible.
Haha I love katarn “he came straight outta dark crystal and someone handed him a gun “😂😂😂😂
Great episode. Qimir's screen presence is chill inducing
I suspected that Qimir (Manny Jacinto) was the Acolyte Master when he easily overpowered Mae in the alley.
