Poor Jecki’s face in anger as she went for that last strike. A sad but truly important lesson about keeping your emotions in check.
Jecki was a beast (totally going in no holds barred) while flowing from emotions I think she was also matching her Masters ferocity. The way she kept going in for the kill. Qimer had killed multiple Jedi. She knew he needed taken down, it was her time to fight like a Knight of legends she undoubtedly heard about. Had she not been blindsided by the shoto she may have fell into defensive position. Sol can definitely be proud of the way he trained his padawan.
Had she survived to become a knight and eventually a master I believe she would have been one of the best duelists of her time
@@natethornnstuff1783 I fully agree, for a padawan she was beast level in dueling, matching the Skywalkers and Ahsoka in skill at the same age.
She could’ve vibed with anakin in an alternate universe
Btw I thought qimir was exar kun cuz of hes skilled fighting style but he power is equal to a ancient sith lord from legends
This analysis is refreshing. I know some RUclips creators don’t like The Acolyte and spend the majority of their time dunking on it. But it was nice to see you just analyze what’s happening on screen especially in such a long light saber fight in a previously untouched era of Star Wars (live action).
The Jedi embody the quote by Mike Tyson.
“Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face.”
Mike Tyson is a sage
@@GenerationTech Then there is plan B.
What do you do when that punch to the face didn't work ?
rinse and repeat, either punching starts ruining their plan or they fail to get back up...
endurance.
@@jasonmast7769i seen my brother fuck up a few people pretty bad after getting punched in the face. Like someone would punch him once in the nose and id be like oh shit that guys gonna die, my bro discribed it as he would see like red tunnel vision and let every ounce of rage out on people like he would usually punch them in the throat and then the nose and then just rapidly right hand beat the dudes face in and blood would be flying everywhere and when dude would go down my bro would jump on him and just keep full force beating dudes face in and id usually have to pull him off so he didnt kill them cuz he would just be fueled with pure hate and if i didnt stop him those dudes would probably have died or needed reconstructive face surgery. One time i seen my bro get punched in the face and then crack this dude in the head with a 30pk of beer and the kid fell down a flight of stairs, my bro chucked the case down the stairs and then he straight sprinted and did a flying running jump down the flight of stairs landed a superman punch on the dudes face with his entire body weight / momentum. he painted the wall with that dudes face from the flying punch. then follow it up with rapid fire punching dude into a brick wall until the kid finally dropped to the floor and then my bro just sat on his chest constantly rapid fire punching his face into the concrete floor. I had to throw my bro off the guy cuz i thought dude was dead and i was like we need to get the fuck out of here. the whole fuckin hallway looked like a massacre, just covered in blood everywhere. The kid ended up getting arrested for under-age drinking after we left and his mugshot was in the newspaper with a picture of him just completely unrecognizable, his face was fucked. So yeah when somepeople get punched in the face the plan goes out the window and thats not always a good thing for the person who threw that first punch.
@@krispalermo8133go for the groin
Maan the amount of times i replayed Qimir vs those original 4 jedi was insane 😅.. Yord neck snap was unexpected 😮
Glad fans got to see how a Sith fights when their not old or disabled 😅.
He probably isn't sith because it would kind of break established canon
He might be a Sith apprentice depending on what will happen in the next episodes. If Sol won't survive to rely the message to The High Council and Qimir is killed my his Master, canon won't be broken.
Qimir doesn’t even need to die if Grand Master Green Face pulls some cover up to keep power in the senate.
No it wouldn't. I presume you're talking about Ki-Adi Mundi saying, "there haven't been any Sith in a millennium". That's not true. Darth Tenebrous, Darth Plagueis, and Darth Sidious ALL existed within that 1,000 year period. Ki-Adi Mundi... was wrong.
In no way does it break canon 😅. Tenebrous & Plagueis are the master/student. A Sith can have multiple apprentices as seen with Dooku, Palpatine. You can literally create an untold amount of sith apprentices and it wouldn't matter since none of them would become master except Plagueis
RIP Yord and Jecki, you both are the real ones and went down fighting....
2 most annoying characters died
@@Exar-Kun-fakeYord was more goofy than annoying, and Jecki was a kid who hasn't fully developed yet.
And yet she fought better than a bunch of masters @@mreggs3731
@@Exar-Kun-fakeeveryone is annoying if you don’t want to like them
@@cael4065 indeed
Rip Jecki. Hands down my favorite light saber performance
I was impressed with the combat, that seems to be the best aspect of this show so far.
It's the only thing I like.
So, like in the prequels. Without their fights they are pretty avarage or lame
@@ultronemperor3525 I'm kinda digging it, honestly. I think people are hyper-fixating on a couple of cringe moments as if they're the end of the world, but I agree with Allen here, the hate is really over-the-top. I know, I know, there were lesbian space witches. Return of the Jedi had Ewoks, let's not pretend like cringe is some new thing in Star Wars.
It's fair to call out cringe for what it, but acting like this is ruining Star Wars is bizarre. A bunch of people showed their hand earlier and it was obviously about the diverse casting, and now they're trying to backfill like that's not what it was about. If we're being honest, the Boba Fett show was similarly cringey (and way more pointless), but this lightsaber fight topped anything in that show.
I absolutely loved the fights. I loved that they had the balls to off EVERYONE but Sol and the Twins.
The Bazil: "CHIP CHIRP CHP CHP!"
So far.
I haven't been too big a fan of the Acolyte so far, but this episode was actually quite good. Manny Jacinto's acting skills are incredible, and the choreography has to be the best Disney has done so far.
In the end, Master Sol was the 'sole' survivor of the 8 Jedis.
Yord: Lived like a Gryffindor, died like a Gryffindor.
yeah he totally would be like a beater on the quidditch team
He died the one time he decided to go against an order!
Running straight at the enemy worked out for Mace Windu when he faced off against Jango Fett lol
that is true lol but jango had a blaster
@@GenerationTech this is also true 🤔
When your enemy has a range advantage on you you get in close, but the clones have similar range to the genosians
Qimir's fighting style reminded me a lot of how Dao (Chinese Broadswords) are used one handed. Whenever his swordarm was doing anything, his offhand was either using the force, blocking with his corthosis bracelet (reminds of how Hung Gar Rings sometimes are depicted in old Hong Kong films), used as a counterbalance, or used for grappling. He at least once redirected a lightsaber blow from right to left with the blade pointed down and turned that momenrum into a direct counterattack, which is a classic dao move seen in a lot of forms from different Kung Fu styles.
It is a pretty agressive, while elegant fighting style that has to close gaps a lot and never forgets using the offhand, which seems to be one of the inspirations for his lightsaber form.
this is really interesting - thanks for explaining!!
@@becca9451 you're welcome. Despite all it's writing flaws, I absolutely adored the martial arts aspects brought into the fights here. We now have Chinese Martial arts with Qimir and the Jedi here, Japanese Swordsmanship with Ahsoka and European Longsword techniques with Bailan Skoll that were inspirations for specific combat styles.
Jeckis Death was brutal, but damn she shined
Qimir getting inside the Jedi's head reminds me of Darth Zannah and Banes duel on Tython against the Jedi strike team. Also Qimir's style being unknown to the Jedi makes me think its primarily Juyo. Juyo is known for being unpredictable. Qimir also uses dunmoch quite effectively against Sol.
Samurai trained their feet when running backwards, they shuffled and didn’t lift them more than an inch or so off the ground when moving in close combat. They knew the importance of foot work as the average person will get their feet tangled or lift a foot too high and slow themselves down.
It’s really refreshing to see a Star Wars channel that’s not just blindly spewing hate over this Acolyte show.
@salopro86 I know it man, this show is waaay better than Kenobi.
@@tonygoldenthesecond3805 That isn't saying much...
@@zufalllx True. But by what you hear people online say about this one in particular you'd think it was the worst thing to ever happen to film. But uptil now it was actually pretty good.
@@firstname8637 POV: You're a lgb activist
@zufalllx your right kenobi was terrible but The Acolyte is more..... paint by numbers
I love that among all the shitshow and spewing hate, you sound like a voice of reason. I see the problems and weaknesses of the show, but I think ep5 and the fight scene was absolutely brutal and amazing at the same time. I'm sad about Jecki and Yord, I didn't think I'd connect to them this much, but loosing them in such a terrible way does have an impact.
19:30 Woah there! Didn’t know Generation Tech was also a boxing fan. Feels like we’re few and far between these days
The visual of the three stabs emerging from Jecki's back was one of the most metal things Star Wars has done for a while
The lightsaber battle may not be on par with Maul vs Obi Wan and Qui Gon but it is a great Lightsaber battle reminds of the The Old Republic Cinematics.
I hadn't realized it until now.
Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan knew they'd probably face the Sith Lord from Tatooine again when they returned to Naboo.
The High Republic Jedi were initially just trying to find the Wookie Jedi and get out before the assassin arrived.
Also the lack of true coordination amongst the High Republic Jedi shows us just how well Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan worked together in their duel against Maul.
Nobody can beat Sato Ichi . Blind swordsman. Close second, Wolf and cub.
This episode reminded me of the Darth Bane books where the Jedi fall into Darth Bane's trap.
interesting how sol is awol during the first 1v5 fight and only pops out of the trees to save osha
Maybe he's the Kendrick Lamar of the Jedi.
Probably shaking off the knockout from the force push. Concussions are no joke
I mean same w Jecki. And yord tbh. Only steps in after like 2 jedi have been killed
@@etazeta674Dude murdered 8 people but cant be touched if he drops his weapon...dumbest writing ever
@@jonathangardner3694 Sorry just having trouble understanding what this is supposed to mean, I do agree though that I woulda liked to see at least a scene of sol coming back to consciousness, but dude you wanna see the dumbest writing ever watch book of boba fett and secret invasion.
0:37 i've never heard that much sarcasm in a single sentence
I know it's dated, but I half expected a Jedi to yell, "Leroy!!!"...
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
someone should make a meme edit of that
High Republic Jedi may as well. They are woefully unskilled compared to the latter eras. The Darkside has honed it's pupils while the light has dulled them. Peace is truly a lie.
I like Qimir. As a fighter, as a character. Everything. Its the 3 dimensional bad guy in real time ive been waiting for. Like if Dooku had been a fully explored character before episode 3.
This was such a sick fight, I hope we'll se more of this.
I'm very grateful to you for being critical without being abusive or hateful. It makes for a far more interesting, informative and enjoyable watch...
That Jecki fight really killed me inside. I really liked her character and fighting style.
Much respect sir. The controversy surrounding this show has made it hard to pay attention enough to form opinons. He is the most level headed star wars active youtuber. Hell i dont even wanna call this man a youtuber. Hes a star wars analyst!
The Way Qimir fights kinda reminds me of Ventress. Like Qimir, Ventress is implied to not be following any specific technique and is mostly just cutting loss. They both compensate for their unrefined forms with their use of their strength in the darkside and their wits.
On the topic of Ventress, this fight scene also reminds me of Ventress's duel with Luminara. Where Luminara gets bested by Ventress due to her unconventional approach towards fighting. The Sith assassin slashed pipe releasing hot steam inorder to blind Luminara before cutting multiple pipes to trap her under. Luminara even notes that Ventress was unlike any other opponent she faced implying she’s note use to fighting someone who’s constantly fighting dirty.
In both these duels the Jedi get their asses handed to them because they’re not use to fighting someone who doesn’t fight by their terms which causes them to be caught off gaurd.
JECKIS DROP KICK IS MY FAV.
I really like how knowledgeable you are about all things Star Wars. I never feel like you’re excusing bad Star Wars but you do a great job of explaining bad or good Star Wars and why you feel that way. You know the history of the movies, books, comics and all of the tv shows. Your passion and love for it is why I will continue to visit your channel. Keep up the good work.
I'm glad they dimmed the brightness of the lightsabers or made the lightsabers less thick like how they where in the Kenobi series
I loved Jecky (or is it spelled Jecki)…she left us too soon. Yord was just Yord. Although I will say that that three stab saber combo that Qimir did with the hidden shoto blade within his main blade was impressive.
Just thought I'd put this out there 'cos I thought it was pretty cool: the whole 2nd saber thing and the manner of Jecki's death was Manny Jacinto's idea. I don't know if he's actually knowledgeable about Star Wars, but it seems like he has pretty good instincts as to the nature of the Sith:
"We were talking about how this guy doesn't play fair. He just doesn't abide by the rules. So I was like: What would be cool is if he had a hidden dagger somewhere, and that he could use it and he could bring that up because that doesn't feel Jedi. It feels like it's like a cheap shot, almost. Then I was talking to Guillermo, one of our stunt coordinators, and I was like, “It'd be cool if he could just get another saber, and that's how he would kill Jecki.”"
Epic fight breakdown, Loved every bit of it thank you!
I nearly screamed when Jecki when down. I was really hoping she would make it to the end.
you nailed it right on the head with how you described their fighting style when all of them went all in like that. And it's true they are at the peak of their arrogance right now. And this fight scene depicts that perfectly. And I love how he's using his cortosis here, I think the shows been doing good in capturing the Jedi for this era. And how they've been unperpared for dark side users since long before the clone wars. I've been ignoring most of the negative and politics surrounding the show on most social media. It's just an echo chamber and doesn;t need to have energy put into it.
I really like these analysis. And that Coruscant background, keep it.
I love this channel so much.
Cool visual note: when the camera goes to sol after he mentions hiding his face, most of his face is blue from his lightsaber, but a tiny bit of it is red, hinting at what he’s hiding
This whole sequence was so good and Idk what my favorite part was; on the one hand, Jecki dual-wielding was incredible, on another hand, Sol and Jecki vs Qimir was awesome, but then there's the fisticuffs between Sol and Qimir at the end and there's just *something* about a fight sequence like that boiling down to the last two combatants left standing just beating the snot out of each other
The long shot behind Jecki's back after Sol's saber was shorted out was SICK! Fast and intense. That Padawan had Heart
The one criticism I had about the fighting is when Qimir kept putting himself in harms way by trying to fight more than one opponent at a time, from more than one direction at a time since he moved between them early on. Though to his credit, he did keep moving.
When you fight multiple opponents, your best option is turn it into a series of one-on-one fights and not let them surround you.
Sol was for sure flustered, but... the wording and his expression, I am not sure he was tricked by Mae. We'll know for sure in a few days though.
Jeki's death will probably be even more tragic when we find out what really went down on Brendok, because it's probably Sol and Indara's fault.
I interpreted Yorns comment about no pattern to his movement as Qimir using Juyo along with Force Fear
I'm loving this sith mask. It can be used to block lightsaber that badass
Both when Qimir gave Jecki the 3 piece with no biscuit and used Yord's head as a beyblade, I yelled😂
Gotta !I've the cortosis
*love
yeah that was great
“Wow so scary! Made my Timbers shiver! Never doing that again!”-no one ever.
Excellent breakdown. Thank you. I was thrilled by this episode!
Qimir’s one-handed fighting just looks so badass
GenTech is killin it right now with these breakdowns. It helps that he's keeping a level head unlike nearly every other channel that is either rage baiting utilizing totally superficial analyses, or gargling the green milk on their knees and begging for more.
As you were talking about the fighting styles, I was remembering what Bruce Lee said. I am not afraid of someone who knows 10k moves, but someone who practiced one movie 10k times. The badass knows and has mastered the basics.
I called out form 2,5 and 7 and on a second watch I noticed 1, 3 and 4
Really a great episode and jusho, I’m not spelling it right but the duel bladed stand with particular the off hand reverse grip with the “smaller” blade
credit where credit is due, they brought the best of the best people on for this fight design and execution
Like your take on the fighting
I absolutely loved Jecki's fighting throughout the episode. Poor Jecki...
This fight sequence was great
Alan,you are the best Star Wars content reviewer (hands down)!!
I swear when you give us your intro it sounds like you’re saying Generation Tech Money!! Awesome!!! Love your content and honest reviews. This has become my all time favorite channel. Your insight and knowledge is legendary. Solute my G!!!
Alan, you're a legend. Thank you brother 👏🏻
You're right man, the show isn't great but the lightsaber battle in this episode was cool af, including the headbutting move. Don't get why everyone hates on that.
I think no matter what people's views are on this show, this episode was a certified banger. I was literally screaming during the lightsaber fights. Jecki let her rage get the better of her and got messed up as a result, she could've been an excellent Jedi Master.
So gotta question for yall who apprently liked these characters. What are some of the things you know about jecki or yord? Ehat are some character traits? What do you know about them? What about these characters do you like?
What was he hiding from everyone?

I think it’s great how the Acolyte shows the growth of complacency and subversion within the Jedi. It definitely builds some background to the fact that 100 hundred years later 10k Jedi could not sense one Sith in the Phantom Menace even though Quigon clearly warned them. As for the fighting it was great, Qimir’s strategy was most impressive. It makes sense that he would not be fighting in an expected way per the Jedi. I hope to find out more about Qimir’s history if they have time to give it. I hope to find out why Sol and Qimir seem to share a bit of familiarity and or history. The fact that Qimir was interested in protecting his mind from someone as strong as Sol is indicative of a possible weakness. I do wonder if Qimir is an apprentice because one could expect a Sith Lord would not have the same need to do so.
Qimir seems to use forms 2,6 and 7. He fights with one hand most often, but combines it forms 6’s intended use of using different type of attacks, even hand to hand attack during combat, and also form 7 given he’s a sith-ish
At this point the Jedi are trained to fight a specific way (I think)
A personal theory, Chimer's mask covers his eyes it seems. He doesn't follow the rules of combat, and he doesn't seem to be fighting out of anger. What if he is moving with the force? Similar to how Ben trained Luke on the Falcon.
Just wanna say I appreciate your positive takes on Star Wars. Everyone always whines and complains about the stuff they don't like as opposed to focus on praising what they do like. It's so easy to be negative.
When playing AD&D, 'eons' ago, I added a desperation move to the fighters' repertoire. A round house swing that allows a chance at continuous strike at each opponent surrounding, but leaving the fighter in a worse defensive position. It worked about 1/3 of the time...
I actually have fought 5 against 1 many times. We do sparring rounds like that in Krav Maga. Fighting multiple enemies is actually easier than you might think. The 1 has a lot more advantages then you realize. It’s all about footwork and making your enemies get in each others way. On another note, I think quimir was toying with some of the Jedi. I think he purposely let sol win. He didn’t jeki till the moment she knocked his mask off and he had other opportunities to kill her and didn’t. Also the way yord died. There’s a lot more to the episode 5 lightsaber battle than meets the eye. IMO.
You are absolutely right! And it wouldn't surprise if the Jedi order during that time did not really train group fighting against melee combatants all that much. Since most of their adversaries would probably be using blasters or other ranged weapons.
The "Sith" here thinks like an imperial, especially how he talkes about Jecki "Whas that`s It Name" sounds like the insperation from the Empire.
RIP meme lord Yord
Hope we get a Lego set from this fight scene
Really like the new green-screen backgrounds, alan! It adds something. Not that I didn't like the gardens and earth-apartement windows, I guess the best would be a good mix anyways, you know, organic real sorroundings mixed with corouscant, or whatever Place in the universe ;).
This episode was a 8.5 out 10.
He may not be Sith but he wears Sith plot armor.
And calls himself a Sith. Which no one seems to want to acknowledge.
@@jeremykrall1694 Technically he says "You might call me Sith." Then shrugs in that oh-so-Joker way he does everything. He's not claimed the Mantle of Sith Lord. Merely adopted a Sithsaber and their ruthless means to obtain power at any cost.
Really appreciate the combat breakdown 🎉😁🤙
Thing about lightsaber forms is that the Jedi learn the basics of each but then may specialize and even master in a few. Borrowing was also possible to shore up one's speciality. It aint rock'm sock'm robots, it is life and death, be fluid, adapt - and strive to overcome your foe.
Still makes me chuckle to this day - a brown belt martial arts student thought that they could stop a person with a knife when that person had intent to maim, injure, or worse. It is sad they even teach that nonsense to higher belts in a sport. They certainly don't teach that in military martial arts - any hostile could be a deadly threat.
When Qimir sends Jecki lon to the living force. That was a filipino martial arts move ( Espada Y Daga/ sword and dagger) . Kali, also known as Arnis or Eskrima, is the martial art of the Philippines. Kali emphasizes fighting with tools like sticks, knives, swords, improvised weapons, as well as empty hand techniques. the fight choreographers Chris Cowan, Mark Ginther, and Daren Nop worked on daredevil and moon knight, in which those characters fight in the style of arnis
Manny Jacinto is filipino, only makes sense that would be the fighting style
I just binged through the 5 episodes today because I’ve been putting the show off, but having just finished them, I’ve decided the hate is mostly unfounded and it makes me cringe when I see those RUclips videos that are feeding that hate… and I’m a vocal anti sequel trilogy fan. I’ve also noticed that my favorite lore channels, the ones that are so much deeper into the Star Wars sauce than most are actually not the ones spreading that hate and I think that says something about the ones who are. I binged those 5 episodes and I don’t binge things I don’t enjoy.
One thing i dont understand is why people are surprised a Sith is extremely powerful. The whole point them keeping there number low is to only ever have the strongest allowed to even be a Sith. They have to kill their master meaning that over time they only get stronger and stronger unlike the light. He is only a few generations away from Vader.
Yeah, this episode just got me back in the Star Wars. I’m loving it. What an awesome fight. I actually watched the video of your review of the episode before this so I was like set up.
You should be hired to be a writer for star wars. All the RUclipsrs out there you are the most knowledgeable
Made my morning :) excellent stuff 🍻
Star wars the only fanbase fans love to hate
everyone wants to hate the acolyte but im kind of lovin it, especially the stranger
Love the dude though!!! Love how they made a film set in the high republic era
I dunno if anyone has pointed it out but.. kinda messed up that the bad dude with the red light saber is called Khmer, kinda make me think of the Cambodian genocide under Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge
first comment
It seems the cortosis threw the Jedi off, too. A lot of their strikes would have been fatal, or at least chopped off a hand, if it weren't for the magic metal
I think I read a comment somewhere on a youtube channel that Darth Plageius and Teneborus were mining for Cortosis (In a novel) . So could this also connect Qimir to beeing either Plageius or Teneborus? Please correct me if this info is wrong :)
yeah that is correct, that;s how plagueis actually killed tenebrous, there was a terror attack and they both get trapped
I hope they get the choreography director from Acolyte for Kenobi season 2
😂😂😂😂 you're joking correct?
@@silvereyedlionking21 No. The show is terrible but the fighting choreograph is really good
Don’t think there is a season 2
Jeki would have been a great duelist have she lived
Yeah cut down before her time
Seeing the guy get kicked over and over again after kicking all the jedi was low-key hilarious. Like they really said "alright mf, you wanna kick, we can kick"
I'm liking the show. Not the best, sure, but it is pretty fun overall.
So I'm still very in the air if Qimir is sith or not (I'll save my theory for that later), but I predict that by the end, he'll die. Sol... not sure. One of thee things. Either he'll do a heroic thing and die saving Osha or something (most likely), or he'll leave the jedi order for whatever reason, keeping some vow of secrecy (either from shame or to protect the jedi and/or Osha), which is how Kiadi doesn't learn of the Sith. Or he'll fall to the darkside himself.
I've been thinking about this, and I'm wondering if swapping places with her sister was May's way to get to Sol - the last Jedi of the 4, her last chance to "kill without a weapon" and I'm worried. I'm also worried that Kymere will try to sway Osha, in the way Palpatine did with Anakin - really, what were the Jedi thinking, letting the Chancellor butter up this little kid (he was most obvious in the first movie, more away from observation in the others), and not supporting him themselves.
