The ONE time Yord decides to break the rules…
Also did anyone else notice the Kylo Ren theme at the end when No Name picked up the helmet?
Something broke, alright...
@@45TRANSFORMERSFANToo soon, bruh
@@LiteralTable756 I know T.T
I thought I was the only one who noticed Kylo Ren’s theme! I wonder if they did it on purpose
Right on spot on that one!
Pros: Fight choreography and Manny Jacinto's arms.
Cons: Death of Jecki
Those arms need their own credits.
I was so worried for Jecki...and yes, wowza I noticed the arms TOO!
She was low-key one of my favorites too. She got done dirty, but man, she put up a hell of a fight, and got to join with the force.
Manny jacinto as a sith is too hot
@@legendsofabhaileshe had to die then, or in a different episode, Qimir said it right, "shouldn't have brought her"
The power of one, the power of two, the power of Mannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnny................Jacinto.
Best comment for the whole show xD
You got a genuine chuckle out of me, well done.
This is a great comment 😂
I've been thinking that for weeks! 😆
Yall are weird
My thoughts on Qimir’s goal:
“You’re not trying to free people from under the boot of oppression. You just want to be the biggest boot.”
Yeah. This episode brought some thoughts to me. What if the Jedi and all their actions created the Sith we know in prequels. What if all the ancient siths we know is just jedi’s interpretation of the sith. What if the real ancient sith are just wanted to live with the force in piece how they want (in the same way how witches wanted)
@@blackburn1489 so it's just "the Jedi are the evil oppressors"
@@DCPTF2 no. That’s what Qimir is arguing but it’s clear that he just wants to be the biggest boot
I like that thought. And it encapsulates the thought process of a sith. The idea that they’re more virtuous than the Jedi because they fully indulge in their desires
It’s interesting because Palpatine talks about bringing peace and order to the Galaxy and Wimir talks about wanting to use the Force the way he wants and to not be under the oppression of the Jedi, when it’s clear from their actions that they’re just power hungry and murderous.
I think based on all of Qimir's lines...he would not be THE master, he is very clearly an apprentice himself. I suspect we will learn of his master in a very impactful way.
I can definitely see Qimir getting away at the end of the season and we think he won (for example, all the Jedi who saw him are dead) and then he meets someone else and gets one-shot. And the camera pans to show a bith.
@@ArakkoaChronicles Seeing Plagueis master or maybe even Plagueis himself already (depending on how old Muun get) in the end would be really badass
I think Qimir's master will kill him in the final episode, showing that his master, Tenibrous, has found a new apprentice called Plaugis
Yes! I was thinking this exact same thing. Even just revealing himself to the Jedi seems like something an amateur apprentice would do. That would also explain the helmet looking a bit silly.
yeah a Larger sith is at play he is an apprentice who seeks an Acolyte like he said Tennebrus Watch!!!
Manny Jacinto is so good at playing a bumbling lackey and an evil maniac. He stole this episode.
Couldn’t agree more. He KILLED it
So terrifying (and hot), such a good performance 😭
Agreed! Now I actually want to watch The Good Place because of his performance in this episode!
Much Ian McDiarmid before him
@@99jarjarbinks Oh, that's where I recognised him from
My heart broke and I screamed at the deaths of Yord and Jecki. If not for the Yord Horde buildup these past few weeks, I woulda said he went out like a chump, but he was able to get one good hit in.
Jecki though? Holy sith she went out like a boss and did not go quietly into the night. Some of the best lightsaber choreography in the franchise.
100% agree. Jecki fighting with 2 sabers!!!
Agreed. I saw it coming when Jecki was going die. A Padawan taking on a superior foe? Yeah no. But hey she went down fighting.
Just hoping they don't decide to let Vernestra Rwoh bite the dust. I really like her character and she's just too important to do that. But then again, it's not like Lucasfilm is afraid to kill off well-known characters, who've been there for a while (looking at Nala Se here).
Impressive...
Most impressive!
Yord dying from his neck being snapped was crazy. The Sith’s brutality felt a lot like Vader
They broke his spinal yord 😔
Qimirs goofy little “hello” and the “well I did wear a mask” are frightening because he’s still so charming
I think Sol knows or suspects about the switch - when he says “where is she” and Mae says “who”, Sol pauses before saying “your sister” like he’s unsure who to name.
Yeah, I think he knows. Bazil knows. The only surprises in store are for Mae and Qimir. Mae because she thinks she is slick; Qimir...because he thinks Mae and Osha...are identical (which I doubt). The Master is going to be so pissed when [they] finds out about all this happening.
I would be very surprised if Sol doesn't know about the switch. I kinda remember Yoda saying that each of the clones was different despite looking identical. Mae and Osha must have different "Force signatures" that tells them apart.
@@conscientiousobjector5988 Nah, Qimir will be on to her fast if not already.
Remember that he could tell she wasn't Mae at their first meeting.
@@artfact2 Onto what? I never said he didn't know that is Osha. He said Osha *"looks"* just like Mae but that doesn't indicate much else about her beyond that. Sol does a lot of squinting in silence when he thinks about the two for whatever reason. I don't have enough information about why Qimir would take any interest in her.
@@maxeisenhardt8800 A Force aura then? I don't imagine everyone who is Force sensitive would read those to the same effect.
RIP my girl Jecki. I knew, intellectually, she wasn't going to make it from the moment Darth Manny Jacinto showed up, but that doesn't make it any less painful. At least she went out like a little badass :(
His name is Smilo Ren!
right there with ya, she was my favourite character 😭
@@StapApollono, it's Darth Teefers
Jecki was too pure for this😢
IKR she was my favorite character as well man Manny exudes Serial Killer vibes
"he was OUR jerk." LOL. This is the best line ever! I chuckled.
very true
he wasn't a complete Jerk
but maybe a lil
RIP YORD
@@theperson-l7x Yord Horde!
The deaths were much more intense than I expected
Wym intense? They were all censored
@@Starprice404 it’s not everyday someone gets their neck snapped or strapped 3 times in Star Wars
Honestly I felt quite the opposite and that makes me kinda sad. Jecki had so little screen time that I cared nothing about her death. I didn't know her at all at the time of her death except she seemed wise for her age.
I think there had the possibility, but the direction of the episode was this poor and they weren't able to bring the heavyness of their deaths even althogh they were brutal
@@Dergo666 I can totally understand that POV but for me I felt for her because we were robbed of seeing more of her, her life was taken along with any future stories. It’s like a real death in the way that the potential was taken. This smart, capable character with people in story who care for her was taken in a split second moment
I'm going to need a whole episode on Manny Jacinto's arms.
I figured out I was straight just in time for this moment 🥴👍🏳️⚧️
Qimir's quips were great this episode.
"She was a child"
"You brought her here"
and
"Why risk discovery"
"Well I did wear a mask"
I think it's hard to believe that Sol wouldn't know the difference between the two twins though, considering she has that face tattoo and presumably burnt hair. Maybe he knows but is okay with that.
the way he reffered to Jecki as "it" is cold too
I think sol is in shock state. And he has hall vision after his padawan and other jedi death
The 'disguise' of May was really cheap and I was wondering all the time already why the two had the same hairdresser while seperated for 16 years. It's honestly a really cheap 'trick'
I was at first sure that Sol would see through the disguise and realize that she is Mae and not Osha. But then I realized he is probably not calm and collected enough to see the finer details like the marking on her forehead to distinguish that she is Mae, since he had just come out of being stunned after fighting for his life while seeing his Padawan, and Yorde, and the rest of the Jedi on his away team get merciless killed by an evil that they were not prepared for.
He probably would, had his mind be kept in balance, but it’s not. Let’s not forget everything that transpired before he boards the ship with Mae. He just witnessed his colleagues get massacred. He himself almost went to the darkside by almost giving in and killing an unarmed Qimir, and his core philosophy and faith, that which his entire character is built on, was put into question by this Sith.
On a sidenote, yeah it absolutely feels like these episodes should be watched as pairs, not separated into weekly releases.
Day: You are with me.
Night: I am with you.
Day/Night: Always one but born as two (episodes).
Hum well I agree but also felt the suspens from last week’s episode was good. It worked for me anyway.
I think the series will have a very different feel when it’s finished and we can binge watch it 🙂
It should just be watched as a longish movie. Splitting this story up has been pretty detrimental to its enjoyability.
@@davechan8613Destiny/Fate - Always One, but born as Two. I give you you, and you give me me.
Jecki's fighting style with her lightsabers was amazing!!! I sad we won't get to see her character develop more
Yord and Jecki dying in this episode was not on my bingo card
Once the sith showed up, they were going to die lol
Cry harder
boo hoo the terribly written 1 dimensional characters were killed off
@@joshhudson7413Yet I bet all nine moons of Utapau, you're the exact type of person, who's holding out tears whenever a random battle droid or clone trooper dies, because they fought "for the glory of the Republic/Seperatists".
Smilo Ren just wanted to go for a walk and was asking the Jedi how's their health plan.
Apparently it was great.
I understood that reference
Vernestra: Sol, what are we looking at collateral?
Sol: Well, the rogue jedi amount
The actress/stunt double that played Jecki was an incredible lightsaber fighter, idk why but that really stood out to me
YES OMG. That sequence has been burned into my memory, she was absolutely incredible. 🙌
She really brought her X23 past to the fight. So sad we won't see more of Jecki's skills or Yord putdowns. I just hope the Dafne Keen does more action films because that was incredible.
4 episodes of setup, 4 episodes of payoff seems incredibly reasonable to me.
Aye
not when Mae changes her mind 1 million times in 10 seconds
@@joshhudson7413 Yeah it upset me when Mando did this too. But with a young adult I don’t find it difficult to believe.
@@JimmyTheGhost16mando did what? He changed his mind one time. The dark saber was forced on him and he continued to no want it as shown by his inability to truly wield and control it in the end. Hence giving it to Bo katan(also dumb) this show has no direction and if it weren’t for the Star Wars name…would have been canceled by the studios already. Some great moments by lackluster story telling with little character development. Ohh it’s a kid show! Proceeds to snap dudes neck. Lol
C3PO is gay btw
Rip Jecki and Yord 😭
Jecki’s death was insane and my favorite part of this series so far. He hit her with three strikes creating a triad (which we all know is Sith symbology). Something I will replay in my mind for the next week.
And taking out both lungs and heart in the process...😢
@@SonsOfLorgar It was hearbreaking. I know Star Wars is known for dead people coming back
but they're all dead
Noooo... not his spinal Cyord 😢
😅
Got so hyped when Jecki started dual wielding lightsabers, I yelled "GET 'EM JECKI!!" She was so cool this episode.
Now I am cry again
I knew she was gonna die at that point lol cause she not trained up enough 4 that smoke
She was incredible, I was literally on the edge of my seat! I'm so sad, but still that was some of the best combat I've ever seen in Star Wars 🥺💖
If you listen closely you can hear Kylo Ren's theme in the background as Qimir looks down at Osha. And earlier in the episode he said "Jedi like you might call me a sith"
I have a feeling that Qimir might be a Knight of Ren, or maybe the first Ren
The lightsaber choreography and arm to arm combat was just amazing.
Your reaction is the one I have been most eagerly anticipating. I've already seen a few reviews from other Star Wars UA-camrs, but this is my favorite Star Wars channel.
Qimir is a fuckin badass holy, the violence in this one surprised me and his dialogue was captivating. Qimir has my interest and he’s just crazy.
I really don’t know why people are hating on this series. Does it have some things worth criticizing sure. But is it also very entertaining, YEA!
It only appears people are hating this series. Criticisms get engagement, so a cranky vocal minority will criticize anything. Even you think some things are "worth criticizing" and I engaged. Cheers, loving it
these last 2 episodes I dont see ppl complaining about anymore LOL
Just bigots being bigots, for the most part. They like being the loudest in the room
The acting sucks but the story itself is decent
@@livlivearttrue. Most of the loud critics online barely mention writing or acting. It’s fake canon breaks and “lesbian witches” etc. it’s very transparent.
Honestly, can't really believe they actually killed of someone who's just a little older than a child and that on-screen and in such a brutal way. Anyway, missing my alien girl, the other Kel Dor, the little droid and "Get everybody out of my Yord", just hoping they won't kill of Vernestra or I will riot.
She knew too much
Unless Vernestra is the actual master...bwahaha...
"You don't get to hold up freedom as a virtue when your version of freedom oppresses everyone else" 👍👍
Oof I feel that. (Trans girl in Texas 🥲🏳️⚧️)
I don't think he is a Sith. He's a Knight of Ren, perhaps their founder.
Qimir says "I have no name." He also says "A Jedi *like you* would call me Sith." He doesn't outright state that he IS a Sith. No dramatic namedrop, nothing of the usual egotistic stuff we see from Sith.
He also goes on about the Jedi having too many rules and that he wants freedom. Nothing about revenge or domination or destroying the Jedi.
Yord says that he fights without method, the Sith are disciplined and elegant in a way, Qimir is lead only by his passion, he doesn't act according to a grand plan or strict discipline.
Yord also says that he invades your mind and stays there, the closest analogy can be drawn to Kylo Ren invading Rey's mind.
He also uses Force heal which we have not seen Sith to use before, which could indicate that he is not fully devoted to the dark side.
He talks about accepting his own darkness, embracing the shadow and doing as they wish is the core philosophy of the Knights of Ren.
There are also several prominent instances of the Kylo Ren theme, first in the beginning of the episode when Osha picks up PIP and even more clearly at the end around the 28 minute mark where Qimir heals Osha.
I'm with you on this! I immediately wondered if he was a Knight of Ren when he was revealed.
It was the only way I could make sense of the timeline. Although, we know so little about what Sith lived during this time.
I figure that Plagueis or his master is the Dark Lord at this time. So this could be expanding on the Knights of Ren. Which people practically begged for during the sequels.
I didn't get really interested in Knights of Ren until I saw Qi'ira working with them in the comics. I think this could be an attempt at fleshing out their story.
Honestly, I can use a break from the Sith.
Good approach, makes a lot of sence
knight of ren would be really good. It avoids the plot issues with the sith rule of two, and it gives the spotlight to something that was never really elaborated on in the sequel trilogy
plus he totally looks the part with the weirdo helmet that all the knights seem to have
Kylo's theme also played in the episode
Hold on, he's onto something here.
I also thought the use of the bugs was interesting.
In episode 4, only one died and Osha mourned its loss, yet here she sacrificed probably dozens of them to save herself and Sol, which seems like some type of foreshadowing to me.
To save them? Really? When she stopped Sol from killling a defeated Qimir? No it was just a stupid way for them to ein eithout killing qimir
This guy gets it. Too many content creators are too quick to find a fault and make out star wars is ruined again. This episode was sick
yep, he mentioned the editing being weak/some issues with the sisters but tbh those are like the only issues with this one, it was really cool
There are faults tho, the lightsaber fight made no sense, where was sol the entire fight? How did jecki hold off Qimir when multiple onights couldn't? She fought him better than 8 knights combined.
@@petarstoqnov6424 Where was sol the entire fight? Sol fought him 90% of the time lmao. If you're talking about the beginning, he may have been knocked out briefly like Osha was.
@petarstoqnov6424 tell me you're a hater without telling me you're a hater. 😂
@@platoniczombie Dude i rate the show a 5or6, im not calling it total trash, i enjoy it but acting like me not calling it peak star wars is me hating is crazy
Watch Basil be the only one that knew about what happened but unable to tell anyone because only Yord learned his language. 😭
The brutality of Jacki and Yord deaths was absolutely insane. Honestly loved how jacki died. So crazy I rewinded it like 4 times
I was so shocked how jecki and yord died. So sad
Episode 7 has the same director as Episode 3. So I’m guessing that the penultimate episode will be the episode where we find out what really happened to the Coven.
Great point!
Plot twist: Qmir just wants an acolyte who is worthy enough to help him on the farm on a backwater planet.
Or he's just trying to scape hell
A cortosis farm?
Farming? Really? A man of his talents? 😅 (couldn’t resist a rogue one reference)
He is someone trying to become a Sith apprentice
This episode was awesome! I know other channels may have hated it but damn this was Star Wars. This show hasn't been amazing but damn I was happy with this.
It's like they parroting what one channel hates and the rest follow.
@@elgmac73 Exactly. It's rage bait for clicks.
Yeah i havent been blown away by this show yet. (Unlike Mando season 1 where i was hooked immediately).
But damn this episode slapped! 🔥
I also enjoyed ep 4 quite a bit.
Professional rage bait channels bottom feeding off losers, incels and racists. They all repeat the same ridiculous claims without backing anything up.
I will NEVER forgive them how they murdered my dear Jecki! But those were some dang good fights! On one hand I want to watch it over and over again, but at the same time I can't bear to watch all of them die again :D
As for the "Sith"-Topic: I'm still not convinced that he is a "true" Sith. He said "you might call me a Sith", but it didn't sound like he views himself as one
He's still a dark side user
Ventress, Savage, Kylo, they all weren't sith either
@@carsonr3909 exactly what I meant
100% agree with all that. She became one of my top 2 or 3 favourite SW characters with only a few scenes across four episodes.
One thing I noticed is that, after Mae disguises herself as Osha and goes to Sol, he he speaks to her about Mae, and refers to her as ‘your sister’, making it seem like he is talking to Osha. Throughout the show, when Sol talked to Osha about Mae, he always referred to her as ‘Mae’, not as ‘your sister’. Only now, after they swap places, does he refer to Mae as ‘your sister’. I think he knows they swapped places, and is choosing to hide it
It is a shame that jecki and yord aren’t going to get full arcs but I think that’s exactly why this episode is so effective. The last few episodes really set us up to feel cozy and safe with our main four heroes and planted seeds for arcs for those two while telegraphing Sol’s death. It’s such a rug pull and feels like such a betrayal bc the buildup pointed us in that direction. I loved those characters and would’ve wanted to see more but I think it was a pretty brilliant story twist
This episode gave major Darth bane vibes when he fought 5 jedi on tython
I NEVER thought I'd see the day where Disney+ goes full dark side and allows a beloved good guy to get his neck snapped in half by the bad guy on screen. Disney was wylin' when they allowed that! I had to put the babies out the room, because they started crying and asking questions. The whole time, I'm cackling at how brutal Disney is being. 😂😂😂
It's sad when Star Wars can't be for kids. Andor wasn't exactly pg but it didn't show traumatic death like this.
@@TheVeryLastHippyThe train scene?
@@Cheetowitcheese you mean when Nemik gets crushed? I still don't think it's as brutal as this.
@@TheVeryLastHippy Nah that stuff was traumatizing.
@@TheVeryLastHippy Have you not watched The Clone Wars? This was nothing.
finally a video thats not a fake rage grift review
Fake grift reviews disguised as “Theories” LOL. Star Wars Explained supremacy🔥🔥
Shout out to Jecki for being so eager to fight the Sith using Jar'kai, and for holding her own with such. She had some natural talent for dual wielding. Though I wish we got to see more Jar'kai in this episode. Sol could've easily picked up Jecki's saber to force Qimir into dual wielding himself. And with Yord's untimely death, Sol could've easily pulled that saber for some funky moves as well
Cortis ore being cannon is so amazing
I think that he is not truly a Sith
He says that he has "No Name" and "You would call me Sith", to assume that anyone that uses a red saber is automatically a Sith
I'm more inclined to belive that he is a proto KoR between the mask, cape, obsession of being free and Kylo's motive at the end
This episode was absolutely wild. Darth Jason was so damn cool.
RIP Jecki and Yord. Jecki absolutely kicked ass and man... I'm sad we won't see her more. I'm still processing this episode, but those opening minutes alone was so good.
I have to say; it's the best saber choreography since the Prequels!
Edit: Yeah, I thought I was the only one who felt off about the wiping transitions
For sure! And the best hand to hand in all of star wars (a shame that donnie yen didn’t get the chance)
absolutely
I'm so blown away, it was absolutely phenomenal. (Rip Jecki 😭)
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. The fights felt very prequel, lots of energy and movement.
Jecki's death made me holler.
Yord's death made me scream.
Ripperronis
This episode is perfect Star Wars
Omg sooo much happening in this one!!
1. Jecki going up against Smilo Ren reminded me of Ahsoka taking on Grievous and Ventress in the Clone Wars and absolutely NOT getting dominated, but instead just showcasing such insane talent, control, courage, and creativity for a padawan. Even Jecki’s smirk when she got dual sabers was just so badass😏 !! That said, the parallel made me feel like she wouldn’t win but she’d at least get away like Ahsoka and I gasped so loud when she didn’t make it 😩😭
2. Was NOT ready for Yord to go down, still not. There’s such a place in the world for people like him who have a long way to go maturity wise but can really show up and add value in the present. We all have our limitations. He really was “our jerk” lol. I’ve been feeling excited this whole time to see what season 2 would mean for his and Jecki’s development (like the type of development that really hits home and resonates), so a bit sad there. That said, I’m kinda really liking the lack of Jedi heroes in this show - even Sol is such a flawed hero. These are so many shades of grey that are unsettling but also so powerful. It feels like the real world. And I’m here for the messiness. I wish they had more budget to slow down and enhance pretty much every aspect of the show bc there’s just so much to love.
3. Speaking of unsettling, the relationship between Mae and Osha has me a bit shook. As a twin myself that went through family trauma together with her, that codependence and weird feeling of “is this love or manipulation/trauma” is definitely a thing that comes up in adulthood when you don’t look at your pain. I’m sure they won’t be able to do it justice with so much to tackle in the show, but the fact that that’s in the show too - again I just appreciate so many solid nuggets of powerful storytelling in here. Family is so big in Star Wars and let’s be fr, family is messsssssyyyy (not just I have a sister I didn’t know about).
4. Definitely heard the Kylo Ren theme in there, anyone have an analysis? I have to go back and watch again.
5. I’m so impressed with how quickly the writers got us to care about Jecki and Yord. I’m noticing a lot of fans aren’t seeming as invested in Osha and Mae - I’m sure there’s a term in film for this where we follow the main characters but don’t care about them the most (admittedly I felt this way about Luke in the OT for a long time, I cared more about the journey the full group/world was on). Are they not spending enough time on them? I’m invested because of the twin thing I mentioned in point 3 and the possible dyad situation. But I still feel like something is missing. Maybe it’s the tragedy with Sol and the Jedi that’s realllllly gonna get us feeling for them when they reveal it.
6. Thank you for explaining why the sabers were all shorting out. I had no idea wtf was going on.
I agree with all your points
There seems to be a trend of side characters stealing the shows: Young Leia in Kenobi, Luthen/Kino in Andor, and now Jecki and Yord.
All very well said. I do like Osha/Mae though, great actress and well written but I did care about Jecki (and maybe even Yord) a lot more. I never cared about Luke, to me he has always the least interesting character in Star Wars.
When Jecki was fighting Qimir, I felt like she was becoming my favourite Jedi so far! especially because I wanted so badly to see what she would be like as a knight, and a master. She takes initiative, and is able to stand up to Qimir by thinking on her feet. She also managed to deliver the most devastating blow to him by shattering his helmet and revealing his face. I am devastated she is dead, but at the same time, really glad the show isn't pulling it's punches
Jecki was well on her way to being my favourite SW character of all, if only she had lasted longer. I can't think of anyone who went out with a more epic fight though.
That was one of the best pieces of Star Wars content Disney has delivered yet.
Yes!! That episode was truly a Star Wars masterpiece. I was cheering for Jecki the entire time when she went up against Qimir and to see what happened…wow, just wow. Incredible.
That Jecki death was like if we saw Ahsoka get smoked by Grievous in the Clone Wars tv show. That one hurt.
I also like how when Qimir is taken by the bugs he doesn't get afraid and scream, you just hear him grunting angrily as he starts to hack away at the swarm when they carry him off.
The real tragic death this episode was Ithia Paan, I don’t even remember seeing her die on screen this episode, we get a new live-action Kel Dor just to loose her immediately 😢. But fr Jeki AND Yord not just dying, but the way they both died was heartbreaking, definitely no room for bringing them back lmao
Just this one time I'd give them a pass for Jecki somehow surviving such clearly fatal wounds before being left to rot on the jungle floor, like what the hell Sol? She deserved better!
With regards to "Qimir" talking about wanting freedom. I think it's two things. One, he wants freedom for himself, in the vein of the Sith Code. Two, he's framing things in a way that will call Sol's mind back to the witches intentionally, to keep pushing Sol out of balance.
And if "Qimir" does intend to recruit Osha as his new acolyte, it really reminds me of the Sith Warrior storyline from The Old Republic, where you confront Jaesa Willsaam and can provoke her Jedi master into losing control and showing his darkness to push her away from the Jedi Order and into becoming your apprentice.
Don’t get me wrong some things did bug me with this episode as have the other episodes but you can’t deny that’s some of the best Star Wars light saber action we’ve ever had. Whoever choreographed it should just do all other lightsaber stuff. Hats off to the people behind the camera for also following an important rule which is making sure to keep everything in camera as best as possible.
I wonder if Mae won’t respond to Pip being okay the way Osha would and that’ll be part of how they know it’s not her.
I think Sol is great encapsulation of some of the book quotes. Like Qui-Gon saying he chooses the light because it's the light in Master and Apprentice, or Yoda and Elzar talking about being overwhelmed with choice and how everyday you get the chance to make a new choice in Temptation of the Force. He's like a perfectly flawed Jedi. He's like Elzar in that regard.
I also think he knows that Mae and Osha changed places, he specifically doesn't call Mae "Osha" at all after he wakes up
This episode was brutal... Never felt that bad since Rogue One. Still 3 episodes to go.
I loved the red wedding vibes of this episode.
They definitely did try and deceive who the Sith was when Osha hinted at her mother had those powers.
Jeki and Yord’s deaths shocked me. They both put up such a good fight before too!
I’m really gonna miss them in the next few episodes and I know Sol doesn’t have much longer left either :(
I appreciate how even and reasonable (not to mention well informed) your coverage has been. Definitely my favorite new subscription from this series. Thanks for the good work. Can’t wait for next week!
I love how Darth Teeth keeps showing his teeth even without his mask.
Just some thought , He doesn’t call himself a Sith, he says that a Jedi would call him a Sith. I think that leaves the door open for interpretation hence why the Jedi think the Sith are gone?
Qimir is built different. 8 Jedi went against him and Sol barely survived in the end. That’s gotta be cortosis weaved into his helmet.
RIP Jecki. She was growing on me and even held her own against Qimir for a bit.
Osha will probably learned what happened and become his new acolyte in the end.
It's a full on cortosis helmet. Cortosis weaved materials in Legends, like Greivous' cape or the vibroswords in KOTOR, don't short out lightsabers. Only pure cortosis does that.
Poor Yord. I miss him already.
The trees fall the wrong way. I know its a small thing, but it irritated me. If you cut trees like this \ they will fall \ ->>>
The line about wanting the freedom to wield his power the way he wants immediately made me think about the old line “a master to wield the power and an apprentice to crave it.” I still wonder if Qmir is an apprentice wanting to free himself of his master by overthrowing him.
The point of Sol not striking down the Sith/Qimir reminded me of Wrex's line about Biotics vs guns in Mass Effect 1.
What was it
Jeckiii 😭😭
i'm not ok
I let out an audible “nooo!” when Jecki got triple skewered. Dafne Keen has been great in that role. I was hoping for maybe some last minute force healing or something, but no, you see a sith, you have to die.
I’m pretty sure Qimir is a canon version of Darth Venamis
It makes sense with him using poisons and sets him up to be killed by the other sith for revealing them and plageius taking his place
Darth Venamis also apparently had the ability to levitate, like Qimir did
I guess he could actually be the master of Darth Tenebrous and that'll be revealed at the very end of the show. I mean, Tenebrous master was never really known and they already have a Bith-mask for their shows. It would be a very nice way to fill in the gaps and what's basiacally stopping them?
@@Lr.Laecro.Lirus3445 i believe Tenebrous is already the master. Osha will eventually kill Qimir. Plagueis will kill Osha. Plagueis will kill Tenebrous. Palpatine will kill PLagueis. I believe this is the sith order until prequels.
I hope we get to see the Jedi painted in a positive light just once. That would be so nice.
I mean, Sol knows he has Mae right? He avoided names and called her “your sister” so he knows something’s up!
This was an incredible episode the fight choreography was fantastic the master was very brutal with some of those deaths
As a big lightsaber lover this episode was everything to me. Loved the awesome fight choreography and Qimirs lightsaber splitting into two without being double bladed was awesome. Both Jecki and Yords swathe coming so soon was very schooling.
I liked how the Sith immediately gaslighted Sol when he basically said “it’s not my fault Jecki is dead it’s yours for bringing her here”
"As far as any Jedi on Coruscant knows, the Sith are still extinct."
Thank you for saying what so many haters refused to even consider last week.
Great episode! “Bad writing” my ass!
"you have to be vigilant against fascism or else it might come back...OR IN THE REAL WORLD, "
...oh, I thought we WERE talking about the real world
Why is no one talking about Jecki's coming into the fight with a fantastic drop-kick on Mae?! I rewound that over and over
I was blown away. The bad taste the cliffhanger left was instantly dispelled by that fantastic intro.
I screamed for Jecki, she was so wise for her years, with a great moral compass, fantastic in a fight and with a good dose of sass. Dafne was amazing. These has got to be near the best choreographed fighting scenes in a SW show, rivalling Ahsoka and the movies.
Manny was incredible. The vibe change, the dread emanating from him, the visceral fighting.
I love the show!
Jecki was right up there with Ahsoka vs Maul, better than anything in the movies. And she is still so young, I'm sure she'll be a huge action star if she wishes. Would love to see her reprise X23, at least we won't have to worry about her getting triple stabbed then.
I'm so upset that Jecki died 😭
In the last 10 seconds of the episode, as Qimir kneels down to Osha, Kylo Ren's Theme plays. ("Kylo Ren arrives at the Battle")
Do you think thats just a musical coincidence or is it meant to foreshadow something?
Edit: Rewatching it I noticed it plays every time Qimir shows up in a scene
Maybe he's an outcast from the Knights of Ren, doesn't seem like he'd do well within a group environment. Definitely not one to get stuck on a group project with.
@@fiachramacaodha1260 Sure, I can see that.
I also saw some people talking about how he could be the First Ren, even if it'd be a great connection with cool potential story developments, I'd still prefer him be a Banite Sith, simply because it would bring me a lot of joy to see Ki-Adi-Mundi be even more of a Hypocrite and a fool in denial. xD
I'm not convinced these two episodes needed to be split. They were both only half an hour. That would *not* have been a mega-episode. It would have just been a regular hour long episode. I loved seeing cortosis on screen for the first time, though 🤩!
Basil wont be able to warn Sol because the only party member that took the time to leaarn his language got his neck snapped. RIP Yord
Personally I like this series, it not the best but it is a fun watch. I just wish more fans can just stop nickpicking everything and just enjoy this fun ride.
I thought the "A jedi wont attack an unarmed opponent" to be so infuriating. One wouldn't need to kill him but turn him into nothing but a Torso, knock him out or anything else but letting him go back up and have his weapon again. He just killed a bunch of Jedi and openly confessed to be part of the Evil guys...
This bothered me SO MUCH! If it had been feasible to arrest him, sure but that obviously wasn't going to happen. And anyway, can you really consider a force user "unarmed" ever? I know he couldn't kill him because there are too many episodes left, but is that *really* a violation of the Jedi code?
Rest in peace, basically the whole cast.
Can't wait to see what Mae has in mind, and what our sith friend is going to do with Osha.
The wipes were Return of the Jedi style, of which I heartily approve. I prefer them casual and fun rather than serious and exclamatory.
This was some good Star Wars. May the Force be with you all.
I'm CONVINCED Osha is gonna turn. It didn't work out for her with the Jedi. Plus, I still see her stopping Sol from killing Qimir as her being curious as to the answers she can obtain through the Datk Side.
like anakin with mace windu
@@marcosfilho6700 exactly! It's like poetry lmao
Now hang on, Qimir’s making points we should hear arms out. Arms! Him! Hear him out!
The sith feels like a naive and impatient apprentice trying to speed run the destruction of the Jedi and finding a new apprentice
