@@WeebMeister37 yh, story horrible but the characters apart from mae and osha are kinda good(i mean they are all good actors like in sequels but they were put in horrible roles)
I feel Indara was also a highlight in this show. Though, that might just be mainly due to the fact she’s played by Carrie Anne Moss since her character never got much screen time.
@@alterralambda so far the show is pretty mid imo. Definitely not Disney's best star wars show but not their worst. This was one of their best episodes.
He absolutely OWNED THIS. Manny Jacinto and Lee Jung-jae are both NAILING their work on their roles!!! Fantastic performances by both, they ARE this show!!!
Manny is incredible in the show, I’m literally counting down the days until new episodes come out now because I just love Qimir and can’t wait to see more of his backstory, what he does next, his relationship with Mae, it’s gonna be so good 🥹
YAAAS!! finally an interview where he can speak about his actual role freely 😁👍 we need to redo ALL his interviews, the brother was totally holding out on us during the press junket 😅 kudos on keeping the spoilers down Manny 👏👏👏
Jacinto is one of the strong points of the show. He shone in playing Qimir, a character who appeared to be bumbling but is actually a dangerous warrior.
actually had a jump scare when that shot of the helmet is a close-up as he's ripping through the forest. I was like, ah hell ya! a true sith! let's go!
Tbh I think the story's underrated. It has its flaws, but there's something really interesting there. Kinda reminds me of the prequels, where the execution isn't always great, but the underlying story is awesome, and when it works, it _works._
@@guicaldo7164 potential was there, I'll give you that. But there were too many nonsensical decisions and holes for me to hold onto it with any esteem. A lot of "this happens so the plot can happen" moments ya know? I'm personally tired of Jedi being as strong, or as weak as they need to be for the sake of a plot point 🤷🏼♂️
@@jaredlocke4300 I honestly don't know what decisions were nonsensical, I don't think I spotted any holes. In fact, I was really impressed by its attention to detail, especially during the fight scenes. It's one of very few shows I've seen that remember that characters can interrupt each others' actions. Like how Qimir has to distract Sol before taking Mae hostage. Or how in the final fight he tries to force-pull his lightsaber, but is forced to abort because Sol presses the attack. Most shows just have characters standing around when the plot needs to happen, but The Acolyte has everyone be pro-active at all times. Out of curiosity, what are some of the nonsensical decisions you spotted?
Yes! Manny has always been on my radar as a good actor since The Good Place. I don't care if it makes me stereotypical but, as a Filipino, I love that more Filipinos are getting more acting roles
He is killing it. I loved him in The Good Place, which is why I hesitant to say it was him under the mask, because I just couldn’t see him playing that character, but holy hell he is amazing.
I knew when we met Qimir that he was letting on more than he knew considering the fact that when he was helping Mae, he knew just where these Jedi were exactly. He knew absolutely everything, and only a Sith deals in in Absolutes.
Bro aced this role.
As much as a great actor can with a bad script. I want to see him in more roles though
@@jjjones4458 it's not a bad script
@PhilBertran you right. It's horrendous.

Along with Lee Jung-Jae
That’s not saying much, considering how awful the show is, regardless of some of the actors in this show, actually being good at their job.

Same.
That sir is what beautiful written characters do lol He definitely nailed it cause same
Was it his performance or he just carried this show with his hotness?
@@thomaschristopherwhite9043 Both. The answer is both, cause he can act and he’s also pretty lol
@@_rose747
you don't know a thing about beautifully written characters lol
He is the star of the whole show IMO
Him and sol
Literally only watching for them at this point

Quimir and sol 2 best characters in this show
Agreed. But don’t forget Bazil

Not gonna lie, i thought he meant an eyes pupil, was so lost until it clicked 😂😂😂
Manny was fantastic. He did most of his stunts. Very impressive.
So you could say, it was the power of Manny! 😅
@@fgdj2000ah lol I see what you did there 😂
He fully CRUSHED this role. One of the best Star Wars villains portrayed soooo amazingly.
Dude you're reaching.
@@Marvelfanatic3658 in the right direction
@@ReapeX You're delulu if you think this dude comes anywhere near Vader or Sidious.
@@Zezumii Nobody said that, you clearly misread.
Thia guy is actually a real main character, amazing job
That's because he IS the acolyte......

@@eiden5778 NO way
@@dbapto6994he’s def not, tho
@@eiden5778no, Jedi like YOU 🫵 would call him Sith lol
He did a amazing job
Love his ability to play a duality. Talk about an amazing acting skill. From The Good Place to the Dark Side, Manny is an artist.
Highlight of the show, very well acted.
absolutely
@@alterralambda I wasn't expecting him to be this good but I'm so happy I was wrong. He's amazing!
@@kdusel1991 In my case, I had mid-low expectations, so the surprise was higher for me

Is the show worth watching? I stopped at episode 4
The amount of aura Qimir radiates is IMMACULATE
This guy is Hella handsome
*Takes off Darth Teeth mask, oh no he’s hot and cool. In other words, he’s the best character so far
Kinda sad thats the only thing the character has.
@@alejandrasanchez3022Cope.
@@firstlast-wm3linot rlly his character is written poorly and the whole show doesn’t make any sensec
@@Gldi8r Wrong. Pound sand.
Bless this man, IDC what anyone says about the show, but his character, and quite literally everything about him rocks
One of the best actors to hit Disney Star Wars. He nailed it.
I hope he knows he’s the most praised thing in acolyte!
Did he? I haven't liked him at all so far. I haven't seen this week's episode yet though
One of the best actor lol what a shill you are
@@kodyshaw6991 then why are you commenting lol go watch it bro
@@kodyshaw6991i dont like disney star wars but credit where credit is due this is actually the best fight coreogrphy disney have ever made
He was fantastic. I hope we get more of him.
Bro what do you mean bro you were amazing in episode 5
Exactly, he's saying he doesn't know if he will ever be able to outperform this role, if he's ever going to portray another character so well.
He's saying he doesn't know how he's going to do better than this performance, what do you mean lol
@@drejerm7856 I forgot I have a brain sometimes and I rewatched it and you were right

He's fantastic.
Best part of this show! Great in this role and hilarious in The Good Place. Such range!
he did so well in this. really good.
His fight scenes are the best ive seen in the whole Star Wars universe
He did an amazing job - looking forward to seeing the rest of his performance
Bro singlehandedly saving this show right now
(besides the choreography)
I wish but nothing can save this show
It’s cooked 😂
and squid game guy
I think his acting is amazing but the character is so bad
manny & amandla have such amazing chemistry together, i am so glad they both got roles where they get to do so much!!!!
This man and his characters steal the show. Epic performance!
You make such a great Sith. Cold, good at hiding, gets into the other's head. Outstanding acting!
Amazing character. I hope he doesn't die in the end so we can see more of him 8n the future.
Absolutely smashed this role! One of the characters!
Man did it so good, the stranger have that Darth Maul flow when you see him for the first time on action for me.
That's why you are perfect in the role!! You are an amazing actor.... thank you!!
Absolutely brilliant love letter to the star wars lore. I hope these characters stay sround for a very long time.
I love his performance so far! ❤

I lost some sleep watching this episode two times. It was great! Let ep 6 continue the story!
Mani was sooo good for this role
I love Manny Jacinto! The dude crushed it!
Disney, keep this guy around, please.
No, he should work for someone else not disney. He is 1000 times better than disney
@@wolfranga8477 You're not wrong I guess lol
He’s Asian but a man. So, 50/50.
Episode 5 and 6 are the best.I glad that I'm still watching it.
You're the best part of the show along with Sol and Cinematography and action scenes.
Honestly amazing character we need to know more about
Okay but like I’m so glad he’s playing this roll cuz he looks so good
Qimir, Sol, and episode 5 save this series. That was epic!
Jacinto is one of the strong points of the show. He shone in playing Qimir, a character who appeared to be bumbling but is actually a dangerous warrior.
Amazing acting. Really nailed the duality of this character.
actually had a jump scare when that shot of the helmet is a close-up as he's ripping through the forest. I was like, ah hell ya! a true sith! let's go!
The Smylo Ren mask is a minus, but he himself is a plus!
He's just absolutely great
He's so fine. I love this character so much.
Yeah, totally into this series because of his role.
The reveal was not great but this actor is killing it. The show has given me character after character that I like and the fight scene was S tier!
Definitely the best lightsaber fight since the The Old Republic trailers! Or maybe since the prequels! So much energy in that fight!
😂😂😂
it was definitely tough to go crazy with his reveal after being traumatized by the kill he made seconds before seeing his face
@@Tycho-Kanos nah id argue that TCW has had some decent choreography.
The fight was a bit convoluted and had a lot of moments that didn’t make a huge amount of sense
WHAT. BRO WENT FROM THE GOOD PLACE SILLY GUY TO THIS. OMG YOOOO
My gf and i LOVE this show! Qimir/Stranger is one of our favorite things about it, Manny Jacinto is brilliant!
Kuya Manny don't retire! You totally did a phenomenal job at this role!
Bro is one of my favorite villains ngl he carried the acolyte and was the only reason i actually enjoyed it
This dude changed my perspective about the show. lets go.
He can do no wrong. Perfect casting.

He was soo good ❤
He was one of the few valuable actors on this show

I've been a fan of Star Wars since 1977, and Qimir/The Stranger is one of my favorite Star Wars characters ever! 😊❤👍
He surpassed Sol as my favorite character of the show.
Dude is so intimidaing on the show. Chilling performance👏
Jacinto is amazing!
The star and highlight of the series so far.
the power of manny
Qimir was Absolutely Phenomenal in This Episode One Of The Best Villains in recent Star Wars In My Opinion. He did an Amazing Job.
Respect for this guy🙌🏽
He’s the best part of this show, easily.
Performance stole the show! Fantastic!
The only person on this show to show any sense of humility and professionalism in an interview(that ive seen), they don't deserve him.
He did an amazing job. His character is officially apart of STAR WARS UNIVERSE forever ❤❤
He needs to take over this show
Dude was FANTASTIC in the show!
He did great!

He has nailed this role and is the only saving grace for this series.
He is so amazing!!!!
He deserves a second season.
What an epic performance
It is his best performance
It's such a treat to see Manny in this role AFTER seeing him on The Good Place.
I knew when we met Qimir that he was letting on more than he knew considering the fact that when he was helping Mae, he knew just where these Jedi were exactly. He knew absolutely everything, and only a Sith deals in in Absolutes.
Somebody put him in Bridgerton! That “I want” is a man who knows how to yearn.
😂😂😂
Good on you Manny, great performance, so chilling
He was born for this role.
Bro elevated the show to another level
The power of Manny!
Bout to go rewatch Good Place RIGHT NOW
Manny you are our new VIP
