@@willwolf8436 This show would have been given so much more leeway if this kind of fight was in the first episode. But, because there was 4 brain rotting episodes full of immersion breaking nonsense no one is suspending their disbelief and so of course now everyone is looking for inconsistency or mistakes in the fight choreography.
Yeah, then the characters started talking again and it went right back to horrible writing and piss-poor storytelling with a laughable bodyswap subplot with the two sisters. Just shows how cool it COULD HAVE been if it weren't made by a group of toxic hacks, and some actual storytellers with world building skills were brought on instead of activists.
Thankfully the choreographer wasn't Leslye Headlamp, but someone who actually does their job right, and likely someone who actually gives a sh*t about it. Shout out to Chris Cowen!
@@PhoenixPrime it's cortosis. Like in the vader comics, cortosis is a conductive material to the point that it can easly absorb all the energy of blaster bolts (not just deflecting like beskar) or absorb enough energy from a lightsaber to the point of turning it off for a while.
Gotta give credit where credit is due. It's been a while since I've seen a fight this good. The sequel trilogy has nothing on this. Smilo Ren makes Kylo Ren look like a noob. And Rey... I'd rather not comment.
Sith training is very brutal. The Jedi of this time got used to taking down criminals. Not others trained in the jedi arts. This sith was trained specifically to kill Jedi. Most of the jedi here were not the best the order had to offer anyway.
The sith were extinct for centuries, so the jedi at that time, weren't prepared to battle sith. Rule of two also ensures the sith becomes stronger as each sith apprentice eventually becomes strong to kill and become the master leading to Sidious.
Jedi are trained to fight dudes with guns while Sith are trained to fight Jedi This was actually a point of contention between Dooku and Yoda, Yoda was annoyed that Dooku was training to be an effective duellist take on the Sith, when Yoda thought he should be focussing more on being a peacekeeper
Maul and Vader would deck this guy I'm sorry Especially Vader, his lightsaber would short out and then he'd just rip the helmet off and beat Qimir to death with it
@@Cyberbro665 Maul's a beast he was just having an off day, he just casually tanks force lightning when it ain't coming out from Pa Pa Palpamemes himself, double bladed sabers are also the sw equivalent of nunchucks with the amount of skill needed to use one
My favourite part is the bit with Jecki because he was just like "Hmmmm, in all those other shows, people keep not dying from lightsabers... hmmmmmm... *TRIPLE SABER SPECIAL* "
I remember a phrase that describes Dagan Gera-If that’s a High Republic Jedi then I dread what a High Republic Sith is like. This is the embodiment of the phrase.

@@omarbaba9892 The show's been mid to bad because they focused on injecting modern-day politics into a sci-fi fantasy universe. Instead of focusing on story. But this episode (5), is a step in the right direction.
@@Factboy12 I mean, that’s pretty hypocritical to say given George did the exact same thing as he was a hippy. Endor is just Vietnam with palpatine being Ronald Reagan and the empire being a mix between the us government, third reich and British empire And the trade federation officials are literally named after real life politicians. Meanwhile there’s never been any storyline about identity politics in Star Wars. But yeah this show is mainly bad and I hope episode 5 is a step in the right direction
That last dude standing there for a picture or something? Tf was he doing? Your allies are fighting and dying but your posing waiting to get force pulled into a Saber kabab
If you pay attention to the second kill, I think he starts an upwards slice from a low guard and then feigns it into a stab. If that's what they were going for it was some brilliant choreography and made me audibly gasp
Honestly that was the whole point of the show, to be brutal and it was suppos to be a Sith story, not to break canon with Anakins story. But I have to agree, that the fighting scenes where fire🔥 not gonna lie💁🏻♂️
@omarbaba9892 Don't jump the fact that Anakin was the only one who was created with midiclorians by accident by Darth Plagues, and now out of nowhere they give us a story of 2 witches doing the same with twins, it's like Anakins story doesn't mean anything, and that was the only thing that made Anakin an iconic and special character, think about it...🤷🏻♂️
@@jonnathanrodriguez1168 I wouldn't say it "breaks" his story, it just shows another way of that kind of origin story. But it does 'despecialize' him to a degree
I don't think he has one. He says that he doesn't know what he is, but that the Jedi might call him a Sith. He's probably self-taught and picked up the term at some point and thought it describes him pretty well. It would also be a convenient loophole for the writers to disarm the entire "Sith have been extinct for a thousand years!" crowd if he wasn't actually a Sith.
In the 4 Episode you knew that the sith would kill these Jedis because they didn't have any dialogue and they weren't introduced. They were there to be killed to show the audience how dangerous the sith is.
@@Bayard1503 Bro do you seriously think they're gonna make a sith the good guy after he killed a child and called her an "it". Get your head out of your behind.
Lmmfao off topic when people tried to say it wasn't a sith i just remembered most of the shows promotional material and descriptions said it was bout the sith which is hilarious
I'm not convinced he is a real Sith. He came across like a Sith poser. Yeah, he has the red saber, and is certainly a psychopath, but I dont think he has a master or was actually inducted by any real sith. I think at the end of the season a real Sith Lord is going to kill him for going around claiming to be a Sith, and stirring up trouble with the Jedi.
Disney Star Wars is so inconsistent with sabers. Sabine gets stabbed in the gut and lives. Meanwhile in this fight a Jedi gets a small slash across his lower abdomen and immediately dies as if Qmir hit his off switch.
Oh yeah it’s almost like maul got completely cut in half and survived and Anakin got 3 limbs cut off and entire body covered in third degree burns and survived
Just like real life - some people survive getting shot in the head, some don't. Some people survive getting stabbed multiple times while other people die from one stab.
Bro why is it Star Wars loves doing things that they will forget in the future. Like smilo ren being able to just force pull a Jedi into his lightsaber seems like a pretty useful ability that we’ll probably barely see in fights because they would end so quick. The idea used to be you can really use force powers like force pull in these fights because then every fight could be ended with that move immediately but now apparently it’s fine even though it now damages every fight were someone doesn’t do that.
@@SillyBrigade yes but it’s not like Jedi training the correct forms specifically for lightsaber combat any more. At the time when Sith were prevalent form 2 combat was taught all the time as it was the most effective at fighting fellow lightsaber users. Around this time they’re probably more focussed on form 3 which is the best at deflecting blaster bolts as that’s what they usually come across
One thing this show really has going is the fight scenes so major props to the fight choreographers its better than most of the non-animated fights disney SW has. ROTS is still the gold standard to me but this is still better than the sequels.
Whaaaat did I just see master Jedis get killed so easily damn these jedis make the ice cream man guy running by in a scene of Star Wars episode 6 look powerful
I also comments this Else where but i feel it strongly resembles what i think about todays episode. I would say that the episode had too much fighting even though it was alright, but and the story which I find more important didn't develop basically at all. Most of the fighting scenes in the episode were way too complicated and would have been much more enjoyable if they were maybe a bit shorter with better dialoge inbetween to keep the story going. Overall the episode was mediocer at best and I preferred some of the earlier episodes.

Great fight, but his whole monologue just made Smilo Ren come off as even more of an edgyboi than he already was
The bad guys lightsaber was so cool, spliting into two, giving him a lightsaber dagger thing. Amazing loved that so much.
What I have seen The combat in this series is good.
It's true. Way better than the sequel trilogy.
how are sith always so well trained in star wars? If they jedi are not fighting, who are the sith fighting?
Rule of two makes the strongest sith to survive, basicly like natural selection
Each other, and just like maul, they hunt down a few jedi

If it wasn't in the dark it would have been one of the greatest lightsaber fights period. Really great coreography and intensity
the choreography was AWESOME and SO ON POINT!
The best since Hayden's scenes in Ahsoka

Great fight scene

Look closely while he fights one he isnt doing anything to block the other saber but the jedis are hitting the air, doesnt make any sense!
This lightsaber duel reminded me of ROTS
it doesnt make sense to pull a jedi like this
I think he's just an apprentice or the founder of the knights of ren😅
