You and dolphin called the reveal real early

[@andyb1653]

Quite a few ppl figured Qimir was the baddie. I suspected it myself (although I entertained the possibility it was someone else).
It may not have been as big a reveal as the writers intended but it still fits. And Manny NAILS the role in this episode (and the next one too). Dude's metal as hell itself, there's nothing better than a good villain.

[@andyb1653]

Hell yeah, this episode was fun. Basically a 30-minute fight scene. Good choreography, too.
Say what you will about these Disney-era Star Wars shows, but they (usually) have an interesting villain at least. I find Qimir fascinating, and his verbal sparring with Sol certainly had me paying attention. Also I salute the writers for not being afraid to kill off main characters- RIP Jecki. I wasn't much of a Jord fan, but both of 'em went out like champions. Bringing "cortosis" into canon was inspired, too, really wasn't expecting that! A proper Star Wars deep-cut.
Still not thrilled with the runtime, though. When you only have 8 episodes to play with, each should be 40m to 1h, as with the Fallout show. Episodes 4 & 5 should've been one episode. It'd help balance the slow pacing of 4 while freeing up an episode for more storytelling.

I had no idea what cortosis was, I had to look it up :D and I totally agree about the villain, the verbal sparring was great I look forward to more scenes with him

@@lisdalia_ Like I said: A PROPER deep-cut. The stuff's been mentioned like 3 or 4 times in the entire 40+ years of the franchise. Whatever one thinks about her writing (I think it shows tremendous potential), Ms. Headland certainly knows her lore.
