    Props to Manny for training for perhaps a very, very long time for all these combat set pieces... and to do that under that helmet, which only has a tiny slit for scant visibility must've been challenging to say the least.

    Crazy how both The Acolyte and HotD did a twin swap in the same week! #Twinning! 👯‍♀️

    41:51 Very bold of you to make this statement and risk backlash, but I agree with Derek the combat was controversially better than Duel of the Fates. Qimir's combat styles were a broad mixtures of various fight styles spanning fencing, medieval sword fighting, Chinese wuxia swordplay, Japanese samurai kendo, and brawling/shivin' like a street gangsta. No wonder Qimir's etymology sounds like chimera. The dual meaning of chimera is "an imaginary monster compounded of incongruous parts"... as well as "an unrealizable dream."

    Thanks, Derek! 🌑 It's great to see the energy absorption metal *cortosis* brought into live-action. 🔸 Did you notice a bit of the 'Kylo Ren' theme played as 'Qimir' knelt and covered 'Osha' with his cloak, near the end?

    I do wonder if they could legally get Mae on Tobin's death since he chose to kill himself to avoid confessing his crimes
    Also, how could Mae not recognise her master was Quimir with such memorable arms?
    Also, he never claims to be a Sith just that the Jedi might label him that. Hopefully, that's enough to placate the less crazy fans

      Glad some of the fandom has some brain cells. I get Disney has ruined a lot of people's faith in the franchise, but those fans have become just as bad based on the comments I see

      @@6-dpegasus425 I'm just a super casual media lover and wouldn't call myself a Star Wars fan per se as I've only watched the 9 main films (that's even before you add in the poor reputation of that fandom).
      This is the only Star Wars TV show I've watched cos the cast and the martial arts focus got me (and my brother badgering me since he is a Star Wars fan but a normal human being varient of them lol)

    I too loved this episode, gave me suchhhh Prequel vibes. Especially the choreography (I also agree with your take on the fight compared to the prequel and sequel.)

    @SleepyWaffles there’s a theory on episode 3 during the ceremony behind the witches mothers is a mysterious cloaked figure not showing his face and it wasn’t one of the witches could be plagues or his master or smilo ren

      I mention that figure during my episode 3 reaction! I had the same theory back then too!

      @lion4611 Місяць тому

      @SleepyWaffles yea whoever it was couldn’t be one of the women witches and wasn’t there when Jedi first appeared to the witches and I’m guessing smilo ren could be one of the children of the witches that dint show us that’s maybe why he knows sol and the others cuse he was there in the witches home planet when one of the witches said they want to take our children so she could be the mother of smilo ren and even the women that were braiding osha and mae hair looked at each other when Osha said we are the only children there when she think that her and mae are the only ones there since the two women were looking at each other thinking there’s more children then they thought since smilo can do the same abilities like the witches can unless they taught him and I think smilo ren could be pleagus in human form or that he’s serving plagues or pleagus master or one of the witches survivors and he wants an acolyte to over throw the master and smilo ren is the origin/first knights of ren I think he’s an ancestor of the knights of ren and main leader of ren since Kyle ren theme song was playing twice and he could be the brother of sol without sol knowing or remembering I bet the Jedi took sol instead of qimir cuse they sense darkness in him and he gave into the darkness maybe that’s why he said you don’t remember me and sol said I sense something familiar or maybe he was a survivor when he was a kid when the witches were killed or maybe he was sol former apprentice and then turned to the dark side since he has a Jedi weapon in red color of the blade

      @SleepyWaffles I think smilo ren is taught and trained by a witch cuse without the cloak of his you can see the back of his symbol on his back that look like the envelope mae took and burned

      ​@@SleepyWafflesAcolite episode 5 is the best star wars thing I have ever seen.
      These fights and choreography surpassed both the Phantom Menace movie and the clone wars episode.

      @SleepyWaffles I think the witches are a cult of followers that worship abeloth cuse of the black eyes and the smile grin on the mask like abeloth

    last episode osha is lagging behing. Shouts sol. All the jedis run back to see the flying creature get killed by the lightsaber. Jord says. It went straight for the lightsaber. Sol replies. They are attracted to light. Same again last episode mae says it don’t matter anymore. That she is going to had herself in to the Jedi and inform them of what we know. Now this episode. Jord forgot about the flying things attracted to light. And mae forgot she was going to hand her self in

      Mae knew the Master was going to kill her and the Jedis. Her plans changed since she knows being captive that moment means certain death. Yord barely survives and encounters an unknown enemy who killed other Jedis. And yours surprised he's a bit in shocked and forgot about the monsters for a bit. I get it, media literacy is hard
