Through power they gain victory, and through victory, your chains are broken
No it not just power of the dark side of the force. Please understand that Sith are trained to breakdown Jedi Knights defensives. Jedi Knights are trained to be like Space Cops not duelist which are illegal in the Old Republic. That why Darth Maul, Count Dooku, and Darth Sidious had such an advantage.
Remember Darth Vader couldn't straight defeat Luke Skywalker in a fight when he was a Padawan, he got inside his head that how he defeated him. He got him angry and making losing his cool braking his connection to the light side of the force which made him weak.
So the Sith are specialist in duels and fighting with lightsabers. Notice that Jedi Master Sol defeat Qimir in hand to hand combat not in a lightsaber duel.

@@smushily_373 lol! That has always bothered me about the Sith. There's this gap between how the Sith act and what their philosophy actually says. If you take a look at the Sith Code, there's nothing inherently evil about it... it's essentially Nietzsche's philosophy but with space magic. Ultimately, the Sith are only the bad guys due to the plot and the way the Dark Side works... Except for Lana, she's goat...
@@rodrigomeneguitirodrigues7389we’ll eat look at todays people who embrace full emotions…. Dictators. Stalkers. Killers. Ambitious people which involves killing or enslaving. For some reason, those who fully embrace emotions and don’t practice restraint, cuz the sith code is basically telling you to not restrain yourself, you do more damage and are more prone to be chaotic than someone who holds themselves back. The flaw of both sith and jedi are…. That they are extremes of one side. This is no different than people of today. But the Jedi and sith actualy have power to make the change they want. That’s the real difference. Also try to watch videos which have involves emotional individuals. When angered, they get violent, they attack because they are letting their “EMOTIONS” get the better of them. So people will say the sith are best with emotions…. No, they are not.
But he uses cortosa. He does not win or will not feel he won because he was the most powerful warrior, but because of tricks. Sith and Jedi refuse to use a trick which implies to on and on again your light saber to gain advantage (it's called Trakata). they refuse to use it for different reasons, sith for example consider their power came from passion rather than practicality, so they would be seen as less by using nothing else but their sheer power. Trough history since a jedi consular come out with trakata even sith baned it for their combat "rules", as is was a display of weakness and thus assuming that you were inferior because you needed to resort to a scheme making believe you wouldn't be powerful enough to defeat your enemy. Trakata was so a technique for the weak and I can't remember one Lord of the sith using it. That brings more wood to the fire, and on episode 5 of the acolyte the use of cortosa in a cheap trick comparable to trakata and in my humble opinion, even it may look cool watching the fight, Disney breaks the lore again and I'm really disgusted by it, after all and and so much money (someone made the calculations that 1 minute of the acolyte equals 1 million dollars) Disney can't get writers above the level of trainees. Keep your hate comments inside, this is my opinion and everyone have to one, if I see opposite to mine I may debate them but I'll keep the respect button on. Cheers
@@Maddog-xc2zv an entire platoon of jedi going at a single man is at least as unsportsmanlike as using trakata or relying on cortosis to win. There‘s a point at which not taking advantage of all the means at your disposal becomes incompatible with survival. And a Sith will always choose survival over honour. For a while Darth Bane allowed some sort of insects to cover his skin and feed off him, because that made him impervious to light-sabers and less sensitive to attacks through the Force. If that‘s Sith-like for Darth Bane, how can using Cortosis be wrong from a Sith perspective? Bane’s apprentice, Darth Zannah used Sith alchemy to defeat her master exactly because she was no match for him in combat. Bane himself told her alchemy was her best bet to overcome him one day. Again: How is the use of alchemy to reduce an opponent‘s ability to fight okay when the use of cortosis is not?
@@Maddog-xc2zvI mean in legends sith used red crystals because they were synthetic and easier to obtain but also because they has (however small) a chance to short out another lightsaber. Just because there’s a dogma doesn’t mean each sith or Jedi follows every rule all the time
@@MrAranton Padowans, you mean? There is a recent knight and at most likely only a master. As the video theme calls out, sith apprentices, and we don't know if that guy is the master, are killing machine of jedi master, even council members at the time they reveal themselves. It's stupid but 100 years BBY, or 126, they (jedi) still don't know what form VII Juyo is and are caught by surprised? Jedi are nerfed, even more than the usual, and dumb, also more than usual... there's simply no coherence in the back story or story line at all, sorry. Keep your opinion, I'll keep mine: Lore is being broken.
@@natethornnstuff1783 Go say that to Bane, who started the rule of two. If he caught this supposed sith doing this he would kill him himself as he destroyed the sith brotherhood because they were making the sith weak. Again, keep your opinion if you like, I'll keep mine that lore is being broken. And no one survived to tell the sith have ressurged again. Or he entitles himself as sith and he's just a dark jedi, or Maul was not the first sith to appear after 1000k years. Lot of loopholes, very poor writting by people who doesn't understand or have knowledge of SW knowledge or lore. Disney is getting crappier by the day, lazy, uninterested, suffering from corporative autism. Cheers
" Not something a warrior with honor would do" " Stand among the ashes of a trillion dead souls and ask the ghosts if honor matters. Their silence is your answer '
Exactly. And the belief that the order is not teaching the students that everyone does not behave or fight with honor, so they must be prepared to defend against that, while maintain their own honor is poor training.
@@ethanholmes4321 rules are for a Competition in a ring. Out in real life thare is just win or die. Who was good who was bad who was right who was wrong dosnt matter just who wins.
Only a naive fool expects a fair fight in war. And the Rule of Two was designed to ensure that each successive Sith would be stronger than the last. Ruthless, brutal, and not for the faint if heart, but it works.
It is easier to hate, than to forgive. It is easier to be fearful of loss, than it is to reconcile with the loss. Finally, it is easier to kill an enemy, than it is to let that enemy live.
The Sith apprentice (possible master) used the forbidden lightsaber form Trakata when he ignited and disignited his secondary shoto lightsaber into the padawans chest in the form of a triangle. You can clearly hear the lightsaber be turned on and off as it pierced her body 3 times. I think part of the reason he used this was to get Master Sol to not be balanced as he was possibly trying to get a “worthy apprentice” as he was saying that is what he wants and to be able to wield his power openly.
I don’t think Qimir is a Rule of Two Sith I think he is a very power Dark Jedi on his ways to become selfproclam Sith, while RoT Sith are hidding deeper in the background so they used Qimir to throw the Jedi off but the odds are slightly more dangrous for them they originally believed.
In someways the Jedi durning the High Repbulican to the Clone Wars try to mold their students into the near perfect Jedi when they should be do a more postive version of RoT Sith help them forge themselves to be the best verison of the Jedi and person they want to be. The may embrace the worse side of them while Jedi were taught to sirpress who they are while only those who may already be meant have personally more suit for Jedi being the most powerful of them.
It also helps to remember that most Jedi take so long to reach the levels of Windu, Yoda, and even Kenobi. Kenobi himself being almost a prodigy with how easily he can give himself to Force that, and I quote, "He can cross a battlefield unharmed" as his surrender to the Force is what perfects his Soresu. In SWTOR, the Jedi Knight story introduces Master Orgus Din who I think is around 50s. The man makes a tunnel dug into the side of a MOUNTAIN collapse and when JK asks how he did it? He implied he trained for decades to achieve it. All the strongest Jedi are where they are because they learn the most difficult part of the Light Side, which is Surrender. Not to the enemy, but to the Will of the Force.
Well it’s extremely simple here; The Sith or Sith Trainees are trained for life & death scenarios 👏🏾 They fight till the death , they fight to kill & they fight to dominate their opponents like No tomorrow They are not here to play , they ain’t here for defence & they ain’t here to be nice to you THEY ARE HERE TO WIN ✅. That’s why everyone ain’t cut out to be a Sith or DarkSide user because you really need to be tapped into such things to fully get it #GoodBreakDownHere 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
@@joshwoodburn5249 Much respect for getting it ✊🏾 The Jedi literally "Train" for textbook lessons & just to defend themselves from an actual target who is out for blood against them & that's why whether they are a force user or not they can 90% of the time Kill a Jedi quick with no fuss 🤣👏🏾 Characters like Jango Fett mopped the floor with several Jedi with his bare hands in the comic books so it goes to show you only seasoned masters were the most capable in proper Battle during the Prequel/HighRepublicEra & even the majority of them were clowns too 🤣. #StarWarsFan #DarkSideOverEverything✅
@artemonz1851 didn't Palpetine nearly lose to Windu if Anakin didn't involved? And didn't Vader threw Palpetine down the reactor shaft because he was busy being too arrogant against Luke?
@@Tuturial464it’s confirmed that windu beat palpatine in lightsaber combat but palpatine was holding back using his force lightning to manipulate anakin. Palpatine could’ve put more power I his lightning but didn’t seem weak but he was about to overpower windu
@hitmixhyepock9405 according to the novel this is true It's implied that he was playing with his food while fighting windu, even stopping to throw in some taunts, but windu was taking it very seriously and by the end sidious was genuinely caught off guard. Anakin absolutely saved his life
Every apprentice we saw was a special individual. Maul was trained really deep in the dark side, like near-death experience kind of deep. Ventress learned both jedi and sith ways, incorporating both dooku fencing style and jarkai Savage was a deadly warrior enhanced with magik. They all were exceptional in their own game. But Qimir, even compared to those dathomiri, is *really* unorthodox for both jedi and sith. His fighting style is more of a "drunk master" than any studied form, his moves are unpredictable and chaotic, with his anti-mind reading helmet, and energy absorbing + lightsaber-shorting braces (as well as helmet) and a surprising addition in a form of splitsaber. His character really defined by the word "freedom" and "use everything not to die". And as we already predicted from the trailer: every jedi died. Except Sol, but guy has secrets himself, he wouldn't snitch.
This all explains why Palpatine wanted Anakin so much all those years of planning, plotting, and scheming clearly shows why Sidious sought Lord Vader to be the perfect Sith or in this case why Plagueis and Sidious tried to manipulate the midichlorions to bend the Force to their will to create the ultimate dark side being but the Force responded out of defilement against nature thus spawning the Chosen One
Power is key! Itd be like strapping a turbo/supercharger to an engine It would grant it much more power faster than if the engine were on its own... But it would cause greater damage and strain in the long run. A simple analogy!
It's a wonder more humans, and short-lived species in general, don't fall to the darkside more often. It's easy for Yoda to say the darkside is simply a quick route to power when his species is the longest living that I know of.
Arguably most human Jedi DO fall the Dark side, in their inability to master the Light. The discipline and control necessary to master the Light side of the Force is just too much for most. What you don’t see is more humans embracing the Dark side, which is what I think you mean to say. This speaks to the nature of humans. We are a blending of the Light and the Dark, with sometimes nothing more than a whim separating the aspects within us.
The Jedi that got dismantled by Qimir is what happens when Jedi rest on their laurels. Yea you can resolve conflict in non-violent ways, but there are times when you will have to fight to keep the peace from a standpoint of I'm ready to face this threat vs I didn't see this coming type of fighting. Sure the Sith have been extinct/in hiding for a millennia, that doesn't mean it will stay that way and you can just chill out. Someone will always choose to do wrong unfortunately
No Raven, you need to understand that Jedi Knight is like a space cop. But a Sith is an assassin. They trained specifically to kill Jedi Knights. Notice that in lightsaber fights Darth Maul, Count Dooku, and Darth Sidious all could anticipate with easy what the Jedi Knights would do and kill them.
Anakin Skywalker as a Padawan was a better swordman them most Jedi Knights in the order. But notice Count Dooku defeated him with easy. That's because Anakin did not train in duel fighting combat style which is illegal in Old Republic. But the second time they meet that was not the case you can see he was ready for Count Dooku and his swordsmanship.
I would deeply dispute the claim that the Sith were, throughout their history, all that choosy. That was a trait that only emerged in the Rule of Two era, in part precisely because they had to select their apprentices so carefully. I would also dispute the claim that there were more Jedi, and that the Jedi would take anyone. The only time they did THAT was during the tail-end of the New Sith Wars, when the Army of Light was chucking anyone who could hold a sabre and vaguely sense the Force onto the battlefield. If anything, in the Old Republic era, there were massively more Sith than Jedi, and even more when you consider that Vitiate/Valkorion was running an entire other Empire, the Eternal Empire (who weren't Sith, but were a bit ambiguous), and there was a second Sith Empire in the Empire of Revan that was taken over by the Triumvirate until it fragmented and later got absorbed. The Jedi are also pretty choosy about who becomes a Padawan, let alone a Knight, and who they took on in the first place - unlike the Sith, they restricted by age, if much less so before Ruusan, and even then, they were still somewhat restrictive, with Malgus' entire play during that whole thing with Darth Nul's Holocron being to find the Sensitives who the Jedi and Sith either overlooked, or refused to teach. And then one has to consider other Force Orders whose existence they accepted. They wouldn't take 'just anyone'. Additionally, Maul's training was decidedly atypical for a Sith. He was taken on as an infant, isolated, and trained primarily as a weapon, rather than being guided into a typical Rule of Two style role of eminence in civilian life - less classic Sith training, more a perversion of Jedi training, ironically enough. Finally, I wouldn't say that it makes them more powerful, rather, it has them running hot on adrenaline, and frankly, the kind of effects usually achieved in real life by mixture of steroids and amphetamines. Enhanced physical capacity at the cost of judgement and balance in their training Now, prequel and High Republic era Jedi aren't used to real sabre combat, for good reason. It's not an issue of pure power, it's just that lightsabre training has been focused on enemies like droids or those wielding blasters for the last 1000 years. They simply aren't used to fighting sabre to sabre, with a very few exceptions. Obi-Wan even says, somewhat puzzled, that lightsabre combat at this point (when he's a teenager in 'Master and Apprentice') is "mostly ceremonial" and more a testing of forms. The very idea of a real sabre to sabre duel puzzles him. So, young Sith have the advantage of a killer instinct, a drug-equivalent fuelled berserker strength and speed, intensive training in combat, and sheer viciousness plus shock factor. However, as Luke notes in his side-notes to the Book of the Sith, any time that a Jedi can survive the initial onslaught means that they are notably more likely to win in an extended duel thanks to superior focus and discipline.
@@BoagsThere are countless Sith that were stronger than 99.9999% of any Jedi who ever lived. Sith can be defeated by internal conflict or even other Sith, Jedi aren't just magically stronger than they are.
Even among Jedi masters there are levels to this for example Luminara Unduli is middle Knight tier on par with Ahsoka/Assaj Ventress. Yoda takes Assaj dual sabers from her inspects her weapon, gives it back saying “surrender you should”. Sith apprentice can compete with mid-tier masters. Top level masters would obliterate them.
The old Jedi order suppress their emotions while Luke Skywalker Jedi order encouraged emotions such as love and Joy and they were allowed to have families. 1.Luke's Jedi order- Love and Joy 2. The Sith- Anger and Hatred
He had already killed multiple Jedi before even using his cortosis, or at least it seems that way. The first two Jedi we see having their sabers deactivated seem very surprised, which wouldn't be the case if they had just seen this phenomenon in action. His cortosis assisted him, it's a tool, and as Yord pointed out his real strength is his fighting technique being unpredictable. You're overestimating his cortosis.
There’s also the fact that in the movies, the prequel era Jedi were so used to the Sith not being around that they aren’t expecting to ever really engage in lightsaber combat so their lightsaber forms aren’t geared towards pure saber on saber fighting. It’s the reason most Jedi find it odd that Dooku wanted to become a master of form 2.
Goes to show that before the clone wars started, only a small handful of jedi ever deemed it important to focus on proper lightsaber dueling, jedi like Dooku, Windu and Anakin being prime examples, all three were seriously dedicated to training for an eventuality of facing another saber wielder. Though that whole thing about jedi warriors walking the line of darkness is true with all three. Dooku and Anakin fell (Well with Palps's help of course) while Windu was always walking a very dangerous knife's edge in which vapaad could very easily devolve into original form 7 should he lose control. There were certainly other skilled jedi of that era who also focused on saber dueling, though not quite as obsessively as those 3 did.
Yes more sith lore. My favorite in all star wars. I'd love to see your opinion on if sith are inherently evil or is that just a byproduct of the dark side
The Jedi are trained in all kinds of combat, but fighting to kill isn’t the primary goal of how they’re trained. For Sith, that’s the only resin they fight.
I think Darth Cognus was a very powerful Sith Apprentice. She could affect the Jedi ability to call on the light side of the force, and also she could see the future. Side bar, I think Disney should hire James Luceno as he has a really good knowledge of how Star Wars works and what is and isn’t possible in that universe
They should hire James Luceno and Drew Karpyshyn those 2 authors have written my favorite Star Wars novels and because of them I am a huge Star Wars fan.
If only the writers of the acolyte wrote this kinda context in to the show. Also you went on about how sith apprentices are so BA cause they train in combat early on to where Jedi Apprentices barely train with them… but the Jedi apprentice in this show did better then any of the masters..: and she also did better against the evil twin then Trinity did in episode 1. You wannna make another video explaining that?
Qimir isn't Sith, Yord also explains in the show why they're having issues fighting him. Qimir isn't trained in the 7 forms of light saber combat, he's also using his powers to get into their head.
I don’t think he is either but remember the Jedi have no experience with the Sith in this era. Even Maul takes down fully trained masters. Sidius also took down what… a dozen masters? All in 10 seconds of the fight in Revenge of the Sith.
That doesn't mean he isn't a sith. Sith don't rely on the lightsaber alone. They use the force and environment to their advantage. Plageuis and sidious mastered the 7 forms, but do it to mock the jedi. They utterly believed that they were beyond the lightsaber. Look at vititate in EU legends. He's a sith but mentally dominates his opponents during duels.
@@mgtowmonkapprenticegang8426 Might he not be just another "Dark Side User" like the Witches are? They're not Sith either, but they are Dark Siders, nonetheless.
The Sith often have the element of surprise. For example, Maui was in the shadows and studied the Jedi intensely. He knew who Quigon and the other Masters were. The Jedi were no longer training for the Sith nor were they looking for them.
Jedi knights are academic martial artists. They've been vigilant students. They've perfected technique. In the dojo. They've never been punched in the face, in a real fight. All the sith have are real fights. And they might get taught technique later. That's why the sith win.
10:06 It seems Qimir actually used form VI, notice the spinning of the blade seamlessly into strikes, also he integrates moves outside of lightsaber strikes. Plus the sequences look more like form VI, they’re quick, but simple. And a signature of form VI is the blade going back following a strike (unless blocked). Form VII (my hands down favorite form) is erratic, and ferocious, if Qimir used this form he wouldn’t need cortosis or trakata to defeat the Jedi, he’d try to destroy them with the blade alone. Plus I think form VI fits Qimir better than form VII. I know an embarrassing amount about the 7 forms XD.
Something else to keep in mind during rule of 2 era is the training emphasis isn’t just about ideology, Jedi were peacekeepers and diplomats who needed a huge variety of skills for different combat and especially non combat circumstances. A Sith Apprentice as we’ve seen has usually one job, kill force sensitives, which is an insanely specialized skill set
Years ago my friends and I played the Star Wars tabletop roleplaying game (the one by Fantasy Flight), and this dynamic played out exactly this way. We played two parallel campaigns, 5 players in the Dark Side game and 5 players in the Light side game. At one point our paths crossed, and we had to battle. I was playing a Jedi consular, and my friend was playing a Sith warrior. We fought one on one, and even though we both had the same amount of progression he completely demolished me. My character had all kinds of useful skills, from social skills to infiltration skills to various knowledges, as well as powers like Jedi mind trick and force telekinesis. His character was just an absolute combat powerhouse. I never stood a chance 😂 luckily we were able to accomplish our mission and escape, which was a perfectly "Star Wars" ending to that conflict.
It's because the dark side is stronger and the easy way out. It takes true skill to master the light side. dedication. The dark side is the easy way out. That's why it's bad because it's easy see. But long term it screws you over you over
The Sith train for POWER. The Jedi train for PURPOSE. That being said, even though he said "SOME would call me Sith", I think he's the real red herring. YES, he thinks he's a Sith, but I think HE'S the real pawn of the TRUE 2 Sith. Will be interesting to see how the story plays from here on out.
From Kris S. (Channel Owner/Revan Galaxywalker): I really enjoy/like this video, because a lot of fans might not understand why the Jedi of this time/era in galactic history, are so ill-suited to engage even a Sith Apprentice in combat. I believe that part of the truth behind this is that, the best Jedi Lightsaber Fighting Forms focused heavily on Defensive maneuvering/movement-sequences and stances, but certain balanced styles as well as hybrid forms are more effective then others during Lightsaber duels. Personally, I am a long time player of the Knights of the Old Republic games, Original Jedi Knight series (Outcast/Academy), Force Unleashed games, Star Wars Galaxies and SWTOR/The Old Republic online, as well as having played the two recent Jedi games. My experience and knowledge of Legends and Canon, has lead me to believe that the strongest Lightsaber forms for dueling by their own nature are: Soresu, Shien, Djim So, Makashi, Shi-Cho at Master/Kit FIsto level and Niman only when very well trained, as well as, only best, when possibly wielding two separate sabers.
The parallels between sith and jedi philosophy is very similar to MMA vs TMA (traditional martial arts). TMA (at one time) tended to be heavily saturated in rituals and philosophy while the MMA is focused on "whatever works" as far as combat wise. However being a good fighter doesn't make you a good (martial artist). Any one can add on to this.
Some have argued that Palpatine should have taken control of the Republic through other means than he did. The events on Grievous's ship are used as an example of unnecessary risks that could've end his plan prematurely. Without getting into that argument, it should be remembered that it was the war which molded Anakin's combat skills and kept his darker side near the surface while still keeping him in the Jedi Order. Maybe he would've eventually turned, maybe not. But he wouldn't have become the tool that Palpatine needed.
Sith seem to concentrate heavily on combat, as you said, much more so than light side Jedi. I am wondering what else the Jedi do besides fighting? For example: Are they concentrating to enhancing the growth of plants? Are they engaging with water waves to put pressure on the tide? Are they affecting the weather? Do they ever actually create light thru bioluminescence? What were their greater goals beyond listening or feeling The Force?
While Jedi Masters meditate to keep calm and centered, Sith Apprentices have a never-ending supply of rage. They don't just get mad; they get even! Imagine channeling all your frustration from traffic jams, slow Wi-Fi, and that one guy who always talks during movies into pure dark side power.
like mentioned and to back up his point the only time they picked up anyone was during the early-late mid old republic era for the great jedi/sith wars/civil wars as back then it was numbers vs numbers because they had land. alot of land and that land needs bodies be it for a lowly soldier to a ruler. even with that being said they were still usually stronger then most jedi as even with them taking in a mass amount of sith apprentices and assassins they were still vastle less in number then the jedi and republic forces. fact they lasted for 1000+ years is testament to this fact
I think there is something really basic that most people miss, when a Jedi fights they need to keep themselves restrained to avoid falling to the darkside which is hard in a difficult fight because in a fight that darkside strength is right there, we saw it over and over with Anikin in the clone wars animated serises and we saw it when Luke got mad and cut Vader's hand off. This simple truth is the foundation of standard form 7 combat.
I think the disparity is because power is THE priority for the Sith, so their training is not "cluttered" with Jedi subjects like learning about the balance of life in the universe, the Cosmis Force, the Living Force, etc. Their focus is only on power, therefore that trait is more pronounced in the Sith.
That sith gets hit with a lightsaber and keeps going, jedi gets a tiny slash and suddenly proper damage is done. F you disney, lightsabers should always have consistent damage. That sith isn't powerful, but has plot armor, literally
Simple sith apprentices understand something very few jedi do, the power of drip

@@natethornnstuff1783 Go say that to Bane, who started the rule of two.

" Not something a warrior with honor would do"
" Stand among the ashes of a trillion dead souls and ask the ghosts if honor matters. Their silence is your answer '
There is no such thing as a dirty move in life or death combat. Just a winner and a dead man.
This!
Exactly. And the belief that the order is not teaching the students that everyone does not behave or fight with honor, so they must be prepared to defend against that, while maintain their own honor is poor training.
@@ethanholmes4321 rules are for a Competition in a ring. Out in real life thare is just win or die. Who was good who was bad who was right who was wrong dosnt matter just who wins.
Only a naive fool expects a fair fight in war. And the Rule of Two was designed to ensure that each successive Sith would be stronger than the last. Ruthless, brutal, and not for the faint if heart, but it works.
yup, dirty tricks, magic, op gear, sith do whaterever it takes to win
I m convinced that he is still the apprentice. That’s way he wants a apprentice of his own so he can overthrow his master
Osha mom is maybe true master, Venestra is red herring and will be killed by true lord and Sol or Mae/Osha dispatch sith lord
Sol is pretty dark side himself. Vernestra seems to be too.
It is easier to hate, than to forgive. It is easier to be fearful of loss, than it is to reconcile with the loss. Finally, it is easier to kill an enemy, than it is to let that enemy live.
The Sith apprentice (possible master) used the forbidden lightsaber form Trakata when he ignited and disignited his secondary shoto lightsaber into the padawans chest in the form of a triangle. You can clearly hear the lightsaber be turned on and off as it pierced her body 3 times. I think part of the reason he used this was to get Master Sol to not be balanced as he was possibly trying to get a “worthy apprentice” as he was saying that is what he wants and to be able to wield his power openly.
If you look closely in the first part of the fight, he turns his saber off and back on there too.
I don’t think Qimir is a Rule of Two Sith I think he is a very power Dark Jedi on his ways to become selfproclam Sith, while RoT Sith are hidding deeper in the background so they used Qimir to throw the Jedi off but the odds are slightly more dangrous for them they originally believed.
In someways the Jedi durning the High Repbulican to the Clone Wars try to mold their students into the near perfect Jedi when they should be do a more postive version of RoT Sith help them forge themselves to be the best verison of the Jedi and person they want to be. The may embrace the worse side of them while Jedi were taught to sirpress who they are while only those who may already be meant have personally more suit for Jedi being the most powerful of them.
Yeah. I think he may be a wannabe.
youre right, in the acolyte timeline its the same with Darth Tenebrous's time as Sith Lord
@@mikosyz3242yeah.. but Let’s be honest… these writers and the so called “director” have no fucking clue who that is.
@@LegendslayX I agree. Plagueis did say that the galaxy was rife with pretenders
It also helps to remember that most Jedi take so long to reach the levels of Windu, Yoda, and even Kenobi. Kenobi himself being almost a prodigy with how easily he can give himself to Force that, and I quote, "He can cross a battlefield unharmed" as his surrender to the Force is what perfects his Soresu.
In SWTOR, the Jedi Knight story introduces Master Orgus Din who I think is around 50s. The man makes a tunnel dug into the side of a MOUNTAIN collapse and when JK asks how he did it? He implied he trained for decades to achieve it. All the strongest Jedi are where they are because they learn the most difficult part of the Light Side, which is Surrender. Not to the enemy, but to the Will of the Force.
The sith are my favorite part of Star wars. They draw on the power of emotion, they know style, and they dgaf because power is everything.
Well it’s extremely simple here;
The Sith or Sith Trainees are trained for life & death scenarios 👏🏾
They fight till the death , they fight to kill & they fight to dominate their opponents like No tomorrow
They are not here to play , they ain’t here for defence & they ain’t here to be nice to you THEY ARE HERE TO WIN ✅.
That’s why everyone ain’t cut out to be a Sith or DarkSide user because you really need to be tapped into such things to fully get it
#GoodBreakDownHere 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
You explained it perfectly with that “ not here to play”.
@@joshwoodburn5249
Much respect for getting it ✊🏾
The Jedi literally "Train" for textbook lessons & just to defend themselves from an actual target who is out for blood against them & that's why whether they are a force user or not they can 90% of the time Kill a Jedi quick with no fuss 🤣👏🏾
Characters like Jango Fett mopped the floor with several Jedi with his bare hands in the comic books so it goes to show you only seasoned masters were the most capable in proper Battle during the Prequel/HighRepublicEra & even the majority of them were clowns too 🤣.

I love sith lords they are so freaking cool
They are indeed, cool. Cold as ice, you might say.
They also seem to be far more competent rulers and leaders than anything the Republic has ever had.
@@frenzalrhomb6919 they are the exact opposite of that. It's the Jedi Order that teaches you to be cold as ice. The Sith are all about passion.
A shame The Force is made the way it is though.
So this is what Yoda meant that the dark side helps you achieve your full potential faster but it doesn’t last forever compared to the light side’s
And that's why Palpatine and Vader could dominate every Jedi even as old men?
@artemonz1851 didn't Palpetine nearly lose to Windu if Anakin didn't involved? And didn't Vader threw Palpetine down the reactor shaft because he was busy being too arrogant against Luke?
@@Tuturial464it’s confirmed that windu beat palpatine in lightsaber combat but palpatine was holding back using his force lightning to manipulate anakin. Palpatine could’ve put more power I his lightning but didn’t seem weak but he was about to overpower windu
Yeah....no. it wouldnt matter how much power he put into his lightning...it was reflected back on him. @dwbi16
@hitmixhyepock9405 according to the novel this is true
It's implied that he was playing with his food while fighting windu, even stopping to throw in some taunts, but windu was taking it very seriously and by the end sidious was genuinely caught off guard. Anakin absolutely saved his life
The force is more powerful than you can possibly imagine.
Every apprentice we saw was a special individual.
Maul was trained really deep in the dark side, like near-death experience kind of deep.
Ventress learned both jedi and sith ways, incorporating both dooku fencing style and jarkai
Savage was a deadly warrior enhanced with magik. They all were exceptional in their own game.
But Qimir, even compared to those dathomiri, is *really* unorthodox for both jedi and sith. His fighting style is more of a "drunk master" than any studied form, his moves are unpredictable and chaotic, with his anti-mind reading helmet, and energy absorbing + lightsaber-shorting braces (as well as helmet) and a surprising addition in a form of splitsaber.
His character really defined by the word "freedom" and "use everything not to die".
And as we already predicted from the trailer: every jedi died.
Except Sol, but guy has secrets himself, he wouldn't snitch.
Grandmaster Luke’s Jedi order: Hold my blue milk

Not the blue milk 🥛😂
This all explains why Palpatine wanted Anakin so much all those years of planning, plotting, and scheming clearly shows why Sidious sought Lord Vader to be the perfect Sith or in this case why Plagueis and Sidious tried to manipulate the midichlorions to bend the Force to their will to create the ultimate dark side being but the Force responded out of defilement against nature thus spawning the Chosen One
Definitely reminds me of training in the Marine Corps. "The only FAIR fight, is the fight you LOSE..."
While not canon, and maybe not really a sith apprentice, galen marek (who was trained like described in the video) is my favorite acolyte
Power is key!
Itd be like strapping a turbo/supercharger to an engine
It would grant it much more power faster than if the engine were on its own...
But it would cause greater damage and strain in the long run.

It's a wonder more humans, and short-lived species in general, don't fall to the darkside more often. It's easy for Yoda to say the darkside is simply a quick route to power when his species is the longest living that I know of.
Arguably most human Jedi DO fall the Dark side, in their inability to master the Light. The discipline and control necessary to master the Light side of the Force is just too much for most. What you don’t see is more humans embracing the Dark side, which is what I think you mean to say. This speaks to the nature of humans. We are a blending of the Light and the Dark, with sometimes nothing more than a whim separating the aspects within us.
The Jedi that got dismantled by Qimir is what happens when Jedi rest on their laurels. Yea you can resolve conflict in non-violent ways, but there are times when you will have to fight to keep the peace from a standpoint of I'm ready to face this threat vs I didn't see this coming type of fighting. Sure the Sith have been extinct/in hiding for a millennia, that doesn't mean it will stay that way and you can just chill out. Someone will always choose to do wrong unfortunately
No Raven, you need to understand that Jedi Knight is like a space cop. But a Sith is an assassin. They trained specifically to kill Jedi Knights. Notice that in lightsaber fights Darth Maul, Count Dooku, and Darth Sidious all could anticipate with easy what the Jedi Knights would do and kill them.
Anakin Skywalker as a Padawan was a better swordman them most Jedi Knights in the order. But notice Count Dooku defeated him with easy. That's because Anakin did not train in duel fighting combat style which is illegal in Old Republic. But the second time they meet that was not the case you can see he was ready for Count Dooku and his swordsmanship.
This should be required curriculum for Disney writers, they need a test at the end

@@dominiccastro64836*
Keep crying and maybe they will

They must understand the ways of the force, yet they never will. Instead profit plagues their minds and drives the purpose they call entertainment
Would a Cortosis and beskaar alloy be possible?
It it was, it would be impossible to be defeat someone wearing a set of armour using it
I would deeply dispute the claim that the Sith were, throughout their history, all that choosy. That was a trait that only emerged in the Rule of Two era, in part precisely because they had to select their apprentices so carefully. I would also dispute the claim that there were more Jedi, and that the Jedi would take anyone. The only time they did THAT was during the tail-end of the New Sith Wars, when the Army of Light was chucking anyone who could hold a sabre and vaguely sense the Force onto the battlefield.
If anything, in the Old Republic era, there were massively more Sith than Jedi, and even more when you consider that Vitiate/Valkorion was running an entire other Empire, the Eternal Empire (who weren't Sith, but were a bit ambiguous), and there was a second Sith Empire in the Empire of Revan that was taken over by the Triumvirate until it fragmented and later got absorbed.
The Jedi are also pretty choosy about who becomes a Padawan, let alone a Knight, and who they took on in the first place - unlike the Sith, they restricted by age, if much less so before Ruusan, and even then, they were still somewhat restrictive, with Malgus' entire play during that whole thing with Darth Nul's Holocron being to find the Sensitives who the Jedi and Sith either overlooked, or refused to teach.
And then one has to consider other Force Orders whose existence they accepted. They wouldn't take 'just anyone'.
Additionally, Maul's training was decidedly atypical for a Sith. He was taken on as an infant, isolated, and trained primarily as a weapon, rather than being guided into a typical Rule of Two style role of eminence in civilian life - less classic Sith training, more a perversion of Jedi training, ironically enough.
Finally, I wouldn't say that it makes them more powerful, rather, it has them running hot on adrenaline, and frankly, the kind of effects usually achieved in real life by mixture of steroids and amphetamines. Enhanced physical capacity at the cost of judgement and balance in their training
Now, prequel and High Republic era Jedi aren't used to real sabre combat, for good reason. It's not an issue of pure power, it's just that lightsabre training has been focused on enemies like droids or those wielding blasters for the last 1000 years. They simply aren't used to fighting sabre to sabre, with a very few exceptions. Obi-Wan even says, somewhat puzzled, that lightsabre combat at this point (when he's a teenager in 'Master and Apprentice') is "mostly ceremonial" and more a testing of forms. The very idea of a real sabre to sabre duel puzzles him.
So, young Sith have the advantage of a killer instinct, a drug-equivalent fuelled berserker strength and speed, intensive training in combat, and sheer viciousness plus shock factor. However, as Luke notes in his side-notes to the Book of the Sith, any time that a Jedi can survive the initial onslaught means that they are notably more likely to win in an extended duel thanks to superior focus and discipline.
Usually not always depends on the midichlorian counts, experience, knowledge, fighting style, etc yeah.
If a Jedi stays focused, they will always win - Luke Skywalker (now I may have messed this quote up, but you get it)
@@BoagsThere are countless Sith that were stronger than 99.9999% of any Jedi who ever lived. Sith can be defeated by internal conflict or even other Sith, Jedi aren't just magically stronger than they are.
I would vote for Malgus one of the strongest apprentices.
Even among Jedi masters there are levels to this for example Luminara Unduli is middle Knight tier on par with Ahsoka/Assaj Ventress. Yoda takes Assaj dual sabers from her inspects her weapon, gives it back saying “surrender you should”. Sith apprentice can compete with mid-tier masters. Top level masters would obliterate them.
The old Jedi order suppress their emotions while Luke Skywalker Jedi order encouraged emotions such as love and Joy and they were allowed to have families.
1.Luke's Jedi order- Love and Joy
2. The Sith- Anger and Hatred
Not entirely convinced he is a Sith… might be a wannabe. Cortosis is why he does so well
He had already killed multiple Jedi before even using his cortosis, or at least it seems that way. The first two Jedi we see having their sabers deactivated seem very surprised, which wouldn't be the case if they had just seen this phenomenon in action.
His cortosis assisted him, it's a tool, and as Yord pointed out his real strength is his fighting technique being unpredictable. You're overestimating his cortosis.
This dude is probably like the origin of darth plagues or something
Palpatine Sith joke -- what did one Jedi say to the other? Nothing they are all dead.
Jedi joke--2 Sith Masters walk into a bar…
As Darth Revan, who was a Jedi then a Sith then a Jrdi again put it, the dark side is not actually steonger. Just faster abd easier to use.
This is why force users should learn to utilize both sides of the force, obviously to varying degrees.
BRO IS LITERALLY THE REN FROM THE COMICS!
There’s also the fact that in the movies, the prequel era Jedi were so used to the Sith not being around that they aren’t expecting to ever really engage in lightsaber combat so their lightsaber forms aren’t geared towards pure saber on saber fighting.
It’s the reason most Jedi find it odd that Dooku wanted to become a master of form 2.
Goes to show that before the clone wars started, only a small handful of jedi ever deemed it important to focus on proper lightsaber dueling, jedi like Dooku, Windu and Anakin being prime examples, all three were seriously dedicated to training for an eventuality of facing another saber wielder. Though that whole thing about jedi warriors walking the line of darkness is true with all three. Dooku and Anakin fell (Well with Palps's help of course) while Windu was always walking a very dangerous knife's edge in which vapaad could very easily devolve into original form 7 should he lose control. There were certainly other skilled jedi of that era who also focused on saber dueling, though not quite as obsessively as those 3 did.
Sith have one rule in combat. Win. Jedai fight for their morals and ideas and they will not break them to win
“Why none of this crap makes sense anymore and really never did in the first place.”
Man I love you content , I wish you could make a Star Wars show or movie. I’d pay good money for that .
Yes more sith lore. My favorite in all star wars. I'd love to see your opinion on if sith are inherently evil or is that just a byproduct of the dark side
Check the 8 trillion people they have killed on screen with Genoside weapons they keep building over and over again for your answer.
Evil will always triumph over good, because good is dumb. ~ Dark Helmet
The Jedi are trained in all kinds of combat, but fighting to kill isn’t the primary goal of how they’re trained. For Sith, that’s the only resin they fight.
Now I wonder if Sith Apprentices can beat Gray Jedi.
One side creates guardians and scholars, the other only creates weapons.
And tyrants.
They don't hold back. Not like they're gonna fall to the light side.
I think Darth Cognus was a very powerful Sith Apprentice. She could affect the Jedi ability to call on the light side of the force, and also she could see the future. Side bar, I think Disney should hire James Luceno as he has a really good knowledge of how Star Wars works and what is and isn’t possible in that universe
They should hire James Luceno and Drew Karpyshyn those 2 authors have written my favorite Star Wars novels and because of them I am a huge Star Wars fan.
If only the writers of the acolyte wrote this kinda context in to the show. Also you went on about how sith apprentices are so BA cause they train in combat early on to where Jedi Apprentices barely train with them… but the Jedi apprentice in this show did better then any of the masters..: and she also did better against the evil twin then Trinity did in episode 1. You wannna make another video explaining that?
Qimir isn't Sith, Yord also explains in the show why they're having issues fighting him.
Qimir isn't trained in the 7 forms of light saber combat, he's also using his powers to get into their head.
Then that’s his advantage.
Sideous told Vader to stop fighting like a Jedi when he was spanking him in sparring
@@DreadMaximus
Sidious to Vader . . .
"You fight like a Jedi"
I don’t think he is either but remember the Jedi have no experience with the Sith in this era. Even Maul takes down fully trained masters. Sidius also took down what… a dozen masters? All in 10 seconds of the fight in Revenge of the Sith.
That doesn't mean he isn't a sith. Sith don't rely on the lightsaber alone. They use the force and environment to their advantage. Plageuis and sidious mastered the 7 forms, but do it to mock the jedi. They utterly believed that they were beyond the lightsaber.
Look at vititate in EU legends. He's a sith but mentally dominates his opponents during duels.
@@mgtowmonkapprenticegang8426
Might he not be just another "Dark Side User" like the Witches are? They're not Sith either, but they are Dark Siders, nonetheless.
The Sith often have the element of surprise. For example, Maui was in the shadows and studied the Jedi intensely. He knew who Quigon and the other Masters were. The Jedi were no longer training for the Sith nor were they looking for them.
Jedi knights are academic martial artists. They've been vigilant students. They've perfected technique. In the dojo. They've never been punched in the face, in a real fight. All the sith have are real fights. And they might get taught technique later. That's why the sith win.
10:06 It seems Qimir actually used form VI, notice the spinning of the blade seamlessly into strikes, also he integrates moves outside of lightsaber strikes. Plus the sequences look more like form VI, they’re quick, but simple. And a signature of form VI is the blade going back following a strike (unless blocked).
Form VII (my hands down favorite form) is erratic, and ferocious, if Qimir used this form he wouldn’t need cortosis or trakata to defeat the Jedi, he’d try to destroy them with the blade alone. Plus I think form VI fits Qimir better than form VII.
I know an embarrassing amount about the 7 forms XD.
Something else to keep in mind during rule of 2 era is the training emphasis isn’t just about ideology, Jedi were peacekeepers and diplomats who needed a huge variety of skills for different combat and especially non combat circumstances. A Sith Apprentice as we’ve seen has usually one job, kill force sensitives, which is an insanely specialized skill set
Seeing a sith demolishing Jedi was amazing specially with the great fighting choreography!
Great video, Thanks 👍🏾
Years ago my friends and I played the Star Wars tabletop roleplaying game (the one by Fantasy Flight), and this dynamic played out exactly this way. We played two parallel campaigns, 5 players in the Dark Side game and 5 players in the Light side game. At one point our paths crossed, and we had to battle. I was playing a Jedi consular, and my friend was playing a Sith warrior. We fought one on one, and even though we both had the same amount of progression he completely demolished me. My character had all kinds of useful skills, from social skills to infiltration skills to various knowledges, as well as powers like Jedi mind trick and force telekinesis. His character was just an absolute combat powerhouse. I never stood a chance 😂 luckily we were able to accomplish our mission and escape, which was a perfectly "Star Wars" ending to that conflict.
I’ve been gone from this channel for a few years. It’s good to be back
It's because the dark side is stronger and the easy way out. It takes true skill to master the light side. dedication. The dark side is the easy way out. That's why it's bad because it's easy see. But long term it screws you over you over
To me, the only rule to combat is survive. There's no such thing as fighting dirty when it's your life on the line. I guess I fight like a Sith😂
Well the sith have some sort of code to a degree... a degree
The Sith train for POWER. The Jedi train for PURPOSE. That being said, even though he said "SOME would call me Sith", I think he's the real red herring. YES, he thinks he's a Sith, but I think HE'S the real pawn of the TRUE 2 Sith. Will be interesting to see how the story plays from here on out.
everytime I see a screenshot of the acolyte on here, it kills my excitement for the topic at hand
From Kris S. (Channel Owner/Revan Galaxywalker): I really enjoy/like this video, because a lot of fans might not understand why the Jedi of this time/era in galactic history, are so ill-suited to engage even a Sith Apprentice in combat. I believe that part of the truth behind this is that, the best Jedi Lightsaber Fighting Forms focused heavily on Defensive maneuvering/movement-sequences and stances, but certain balanced styles as well as hybrid forms are more effective then others during Lightsaber duels. Personally, I am a long time player of the Knights of the Old Republic games, Original Jedi Knight series (Outcast/Academy), Force Unleashed games, Star Wars Galaxies and SWTOR/The Old Republic online, as well as having played the two recent Jedi games. My experience and knowledge of Legends and Canon, has lead me to believe that the strongest Lightsaber forms for dueling by their own nature are: Soresu, Shien, Djim So, Makashi, Shi-Cho at Master/Kit FIsto level and Niman only when very well trained, as well as, only best, when possibly wielding two separate sabers.
who and what is the fights at 7:30
The parallels between sith and jedi philosophy is very similar to MMA vs TMA (traditional martial arts). TMA (at one time) tended to be heavily saturated in rituals and philosophy while the MMA is focused on "whatever works" as far as combat wise. However being a good fighter doesn't make you a good (martial artist). Any one can add on to this.
can you do a video on a list of force sensitive people and their midichlorian counts?
Palpatine just straight up kills multiple councils
I knew this was coming after that last episode!
Good timing for the video. Addresses a lot of question following Acolyte fight scene… he took out 5/6 Jedi single handed
And almost lost to a padawan.
Too bad the show doesn’t write this kinda context in to the show.
because the plot needs them to be that strong
Through torture we build strength , from strength we build power.
Through power our chains are broken .
Jecki held up pretty well. All in all it was a great fighting sequence
Some have argued that Palpatine should have taken control of the Republic through other means than he did. The events on Grievous's ship are used as an example of unnecessary risks that could've end his plan prematurely. Without getting into that argument, it should be remembered that it was the war which molded Anakin's combat skills and kept his darker side near the surface while still keeping him in the Jedi Order. Maybe he would've eventually turned, maybe not. But he wouldn't have become the tool that Palpatine needed.
visiting the archives is my favorite time of the day
Amazing video
Glad you think so!
11:58 to cut to the chase
If properly channeled… The Dark Side can become a powerful ally.
1:45 erm wasnt Maul 23 at the time of the Naboo invasion?
Does it even matter? He was trained to fight jedi unlike the jedi of the clone wars.
Sith seem to concentrate heavily on combat, as you said, much more so than light side Jedi. I am wondering what else the Jedi do besides fighting?
For example: Are they concentrating to enhancing the growth of plants? Are they engaging with water waves to put pressure on the tide? Are they affecting the weather? Do they ever actually create light thru bioluminescence?
What were their greater goals beyond listening or feeling The Force?
Literal Sith Hunters of the Old Republic: Hello there! (Also Jedi Battlemasters)
While Jedi Masters meditate to keep calm and centered, Sith Apprentices have a never-ending supply of rage. They don't just get mad; they get even! Imagine channeling all your frustration from traffic jams, slow Wi-Fi, and that one guy who always talks during movies into pure dark side power.
like mentioned and to back up his point
the only time they picked up anyone was during the early-late mid old republic era for the great jedi/sith wars/civil wars as back then it was numbers vs numbers because they had land. alot of land and that land needs bodies be it for a lowly soldier to a ruler. even with that being said they were still usually stronger then most jedi as even with them taking in a mass amount of sith apprentices and assassins they were still vastle less in number then the jedi and republic forces. fact they lasted for 1000+ years is testament to this fact
Even when you know a thing, it is such a joy to hear some one express what you consider your thoughts, so well.
I think there is something really basic that most people miss, when a Jedi fights they need to keep themselves restrained to avoid falling to the darkside which is hard in a difficult fight because in a fight that darkside strength is right there, we saw it over and over with Anikin in the clone wars animated serises and we saw it when Luke got mad and cut Vader's hand off. This simple truth is the foundation of standard form 7 combat.
I basically just want to see a series/movie version of the KOTOR. Or old republic games maybe with some slight changes.
Simple, and to steal from Bladerunner: The candle that burns twice as bright burns half as long.
I think the disparity is because power is THE priority for the Sith, so their training is not "cluttered" with Jedi subjects like learning about the balance of life in the universe, the Cosmis Force, the Living Force, etc. Their focus is only on power, therefore that trait is more pronounced in the Sith.
What do I think you ask? I think that Leslye Headland in Star Wars is the equivalent of Michael Bay in Bridgerton
In combat, there are no rules. One goal: destroy your enemy.
Why this have no audio for me?

Wait. Maul was a teenager in TPM?! First time I'm learning this.

This may also explain why so many talented Jedi turned dark, even without a Sith Lord capturing and torturing them.
does star killer count?
That sith gets hit with a lightsaber and keeps going, jedi gets a tiny slash and suddenly proper damage is done. F you disney, lightsabers should always have consistent damage. That sith isn't powerful, but has plot armor, literally
Qimir was definitely ruthless but I doubt the master. Very fun to watch
I feel a great re-cicling on the force
