/* ---- VIDEO INFORMATION ---- */
Alright, let’s start off with a quick summary of the episode… Everybody is DEAD and QIMIR DID THE DEADING. Qimir pushed Sol to the edge and now all Sol’s friends are DEAD…including Jedi Guardian Knight Yord Fandar and Sol’s beloved padawan Jecki Lon…leaving Sol as the sole survivor of an absolutely insane clashing of blade from an unbelievably powerful Dark Side user.
When Osha wakes up at the start of the episode after being flung away by Qimir at the end of last episode, she witnesses Qimir easily handling the might of an entire squad of Jedi at once. But what is particularly remarkable about Qimir’s fighting style in this episode is how he is somehow able to completely disable the lightsabers of the Jedi…either by blocking lightsaber strikes with his arm or by smashing his helmet into the lightsaber itself.
But the question remains…HOW the hell did Qimir even do that shit? Is Qimir some type of indestructable superman that has the power to deactivate lightsabers with some magick power? Well…the good news is…no. Qimir’s physical form is still just as vulnerable to gettin sliced and diced by lightsabers like everybody else.
The reason why Qimir is likely able to deactivate the lightsabers of all the Jedi through a special type of metal that Qimir appears to have applied on his helmet as well as his arms…and it’s a special metal in the Star Wars universe called Cortosis.

Bizzle my nizzle
He not only tripple stabbed that apprentice he turned his saber on and off to do it. I think that is like a forbidden/frowned upon technique. IIRC Ahsoka does some of that kind of thing later on.
Qimir is a REN not a Sith, probably the first of its kind, he calls his pupil an acolyte not apprentice, he never said he's a sith, he said he has no name and Jedi might call him a sith, there's no terminology for a Ren that time so yeah, he's a ren not a sith, SITH WERE EXTINCT FOR A MILLENIUM remember???
@@acedobleace undefined
@@acedobleace I agree with this.
Palpatine: "Have You ever Heard the Story of Darth Smiley The Uberpowerful?"
Anakin: "No. I Have Not."
Palpatine: "I am not Surprised, its not the Type of Story Ki Ai Mundi would Tell You."
literally all of the jedi except one died and sol is probably gonna end up dying causse hes on the ship with mae, ki adi mundi doesnt ahve the slightest clue its a sith
Mundi is sitting on his butt in the Jedi Temple. He’s too arrogant to believe the Sith has returned, no matter what.
@@dbks_ Nah, dude's species was endangered, so he was too busy makin' babies with all his wives.

Lmfao...Im ded
Imagine training your whole life to be a Jedi only to he a kabob.
Imagine ascending to the ranks of the Jedi Council just to become part of a triple kill because the Sith you went to arrest turned out to be a Sith.
Usually the case aint it? Live by the Saber...
@Micisme86 this is before they would be able to save them from it
@@Micisme86…die by another’s saber as yours shorts out.
He pulled dude over with the force like, "GET OVER HERE!!!" 😂😂😂
Bruh Qimir’s fuckin’ jacked! And Jecki was killin’ it at first, kinda pissed she got offed.
Jacked like Darth Bane
many find her insufferable tho
If you put these two in a tennis match (providing neither had training in tennis) then who the heck do you think would win? Ahaha.
@@echidnaralsei1473 it sucks you felt the need to express this opinion like it would change a mind. If you care what “many” think then you got bigger problems than the writing on a kids tv show
Same Dafne keen was great
Ngl, headbutting a lightsaber was f***ing METAL !
Dude that sold me. I know a lot of the other shit in this show is questionable but I don’t wanna question that, that was fucking badass.
@mateo10734 same! Despite the show being the way it is. I'll atleast give credit where it's due.
hell yh. this is some of the best, if not the best, combat in all of disney star wars.
@@xtrafunk I would say the best so far. Better than obi wan show imo.
It’s an old sith trick to use a metal that short circuits sabers. It was neat seeing it in live action along with the fighting style from legends.
I can’t help but feel like Qimir wants to train Osha. In every interaction they had, he always looks into her eyes with concentrated curiosity. He even spares her from the carnage, opting to fling her into the Forrest.
He makes a big deal with killing Jedi without weapons, maybe he was impressed with Osha’s connection with the creatures, and her method of dispersing him.
i definitely think that impressed him. First she called out to Sol as she was swinging on him like Mace Windu was on Palpatine and Qimir had the same smile as Palpatine. He was like "that's my future apprentice"
Yeah I thought that when he found her at the end, he knows it's not Mae and he seems happy that he has the other sister. Osha seems to be the more powerful of the two and I think they highlight Mae just flipping between sides a lot to show all she cares about is herself where as Osha is more loyal too
I agree with you! But I felt it during episode 2 when he whispered to her that she looked exactly like Mae while staring intently into her eyes. To me it felt like he didn't just mean appearance but their Force strength.
Furthermore, the twins' bond isn't a Force Dyad but it appears to be solely Osha's because otherwise Mae would've felt her twin much earlier and realise that she was still alive.
And last but not least: I bet he would find it more challenging and thus far more rewarding to turn Light-sided Osha towards the Darkside.
Sol and Qimir are carrying the Show!!!
Dam straight you can tell sol is feeling his Padawan death
No one can carry it. Show is unwatchable.
@@tylerkister4628 it was the reversal of what we usually get in star wars where the padawan sees the master killed by the sith. but for a sith show, it rhymes perfectly.
I mean I find osha compelling too.
Not exactly a high standard if I'm honest.
Sith Lord Qimir is what Kylo Ren should've been
They could have made him founder of knights of ren but no he had to be a sith 🤦🏻♂️
Kylo Ren was Kylo Ren, nothing less, nothing more.
except Qimir is not a Sith Lord, he's a Ren like Kylo
@@pj9464 Correction, better actor, better background, bad script and plot. He has three good moments--- the frozen blaster shot, the mind reading of the fake Han Solo, and twisting the light saber into Snoke....all else, theyade him seem confused and weakened by the same confusion.
@@red_hornet56 he literally says "I have no name, but you might call me sith", that's no definitive answer
manny was a beast in this ep. I hope he doesn't die and has his own spin off or something
lmao
BEASTING
Who is Manny Serious question 😅😢
@@latricenelson3967Jason from the Good Place. He played a loveable, himbo idiot type in that show
You genuinely care?? 😂
Anakin was not created by Sidious. Anakin was created by the force as a response to Darth Plagueis and Darth Sidious tampering with the balance of the force. Plagueis was literally trying to manipulate the force and violate the laws of nature so, in response, the force created Anakin. In the Vader novel, he had visions of Sidious manipulating his mothers womb, but this was only a vision
thanks, I was about to comment the same thing!
thank you for beating me to it. This has been confirmed by writer Charles Soule too that those were darkside influenced visions and to pararphrase Soule "the darkside isn't a narrator to be trusted"
Yep. The actual creator said as much.
It was just Plagueis, when Sidious Left. And Anakin became everything Plagueis wished for, sad but true
@ThisIsMyHandle333 which isn't cannon.
I really cant stand Mae flip flopping motivations every 5 minutes.
Me neither. I suppose it is made to make it all unpredictable. However the constant turns make the narrator unreliable.
Her running around was so annoying. And the dialogue with her sister was so bland and monotone.
I think that may be intentional but worry it’s not
It’s annoying. I’m enjoying the show but the more I watch, the more I realize the “side characters” are carrying the weight of the show
@@samu1083 This is the question as well - is the script intentionally confusing or confusing only due to hurry and stress. While some criticism is overblown I personally think that the “main character” is the main problem. It’s too difficult to pull of two main characters like this.
P.S. When Yord says, "he gets in your head and stays there," he means it literally. As an example, Mae is literally scared and as she running from him at one point, she is having flashes of him and he calls her a "coward" and says, "you were going to betray me." It's apart of the psychological effect he has on a Jedi while they fight him. Which is why it's hard for them to beat him.
Finally they figured out how to make lightsaber fights badass again
A shame it was on a horrendous unwatchable show
Yord took a baseball bat swing to his legs and didn’t lose them.
@@Whopperwhopper420stop lying bruh. Not that bad.
So good man.
@@CammronPelston Show is genuinely written horribly, with bland cardboard acting.
First off, this is the best episode of the series. Qimir is more like a warlock than a Sith, especially in the way he thinks and talks about "force-users" freedoms, which is similar to Mother Aniseya. In fact, Qimir seems to embody the best qualities of both Mother Aniseya and Mother Koril-the wisdom of Aniseya and the rage of Koril.
What if he was created by them?
@@ThisIsMyHandle333 what a stupid thing to say.
@@ThisIsMyHandle333dude just fought 8 jedi at once for 40 mins straight. So yeah 27 giant moths attacking at once could be overwhelming
Lol
@@ThisIsMyHandle333TBF, he still won and came out of that moth attack mostly unscathed.
Wouldn’t it be hilarious if Master Sol falls to the Dark Side and ends up being Darth Plagueis or something.

Thought this was the best ep so far. Smylo Ren reveal wasn't a surprise but I don't think the show ever meant it to be. There's definitely someone higher up the food chain.
Who calls him Smylo Ren?
@@aaron827 I've seen it used before. I like Darth Teeth too.
Bad guy is the Jedi guys son.
Kidding
The real question is why did Osha lie about why she left the order. In the first episode she says it was her decision but then later she is upset when he wont let her come back and it comes off more like he had to remove her than previous.
Yes, Qimir is just the Apprentice. The actual Master is yet to be revealed.
For this show, I think Mother Koril is the bigger fish". I think the surprise will be what really went down on Khofar.
Qimir mother is in episode 3. Qimir was being raised in secret at the temple away from Mae and Osha. Rewatch the episode. When Osha says they are the only kids the ladies braiding their hair give each other a look. Then when the Jedi mention children being trained it shows a worried woman that Qimir mother. I posted a clip of it.
Mae 10s ago: I hate jedi and will kill them. Attack me!
Mae 5s ago: Wait, my sister is alive and I don't need to kill Jedi. Imma turn myself in
May 3s ago: Die Jedi padawan! I'll kill you all
May 1s ago: I'll just infiltrate the Jedi and leave my sister to my dark masterrrrrrr hahahahaha
Literally makes no sense. I was like what is going on in this show man 😕
Not to mention she even tried killing her sister by burning down a stone building that erupted in flames in matter of minutes
@@roscoeorginal I doubt they're really going with "stone building erupted in flames" - there's another explanation we haven't seen yet.
Because things keep changing, her plans have to change too. She still hates the Jedi. She just wants out of her situation.
@@mkhud50nyeah, nooooo lol… it’s just subpar writing. What the show thinks is “mystery” is really just confusing plot… and shaky acting
He killed everyone wonderfully but sol really got the best of him..started lookin weak
Sol’s hand to hand combat is really good
He was fighting for a long time, killed 7 Jedi, beat Sol once. Weak?
yeah kinda like Mace Windu really had the best of Palpatine. rhymed perfectly. Sol's soul died at that very moment.
Sols a Jedi Master
feel like they're hinting sol tapped into the dark side there
5:47 BROOOO WTF!!!!! NO, PALPATINE DID NOT CREATE ANAKIN!! HOLY SHIT YOU DID NOT JUST SAY THAT!
The creator of that comic book said that people have been mis interpreted that comic book.
The living Force created Anakin as a response to Plagueis apmost creating life using the dark side of the force.
The universe saw that the sith were becoming almost unstopable so it created Anakin. Thats the entire point of the CHOSEN ONE.
I could swear that when Qimir bent down over Osha, he healed her wound when he held his hand over it. Anyone else see that?
To me, that was the smoking gun that he is Darth Plagueis. Also when he woke up hungover from drinking too much, that is another hint at Plagueis as that is how Sidious killed him in his sleep
@@madgainsmatt6116 Interesting! I didn’t make that connection. Speaking of healing, I was surprised how much Kylo Ren’s theme was referenced in this episode (and the last one). That has to be important, but I don’t know how yet. Can’t wait for the remaining episodes!
Some people are gonna be upset if plagueis is not a muun lol.
I love the plagueis novel its one of my favorite legendd novels. And I would be 100% down if qimir was plagueis.
My one problem with this episode is May impersonating Osha cause they're twins. The jedi could tell thousands of clones who are genetically the same apart as they are all different in the force - yet that's twice they believe May is Osha.
Dark side clouds your mind.
I am just jotting it down as either Mae tampering with her force presence or Sol being so blinded by fear and confusion of what Qimir was and focusing solely on getting back to the ship and Coruscant that he isn't having a second look at Osha aka Mae.
There’s a deleted scene , when Sol finds OSHA where he says he says he doesn’t hate the tattoo but can’t stand the bangs , I can’t even look directly at it. Which is why he doesn’t notice the forehead tattoo which is barely covered.
THIS - and while we’re at it, if they’re so identical that even a Jedi can’t tell them apart, why cast different actors for them as kids??? 🤷♂️🤦♂️
Pip will reveal the truth
Thank you so much for not hating on this show. I've been loving it, but it's been hard to find reviews that don't, basically, call me an idiot for not hating it.
I think most of it is great. And compared to other star wars shows besides first few seasons of Mando. I don't think anyone should be complaining. The fighting is crazy and most characters are interesting. Kemir my favorite so far. I
L take
Agreed. It's the SW hate bandwagon
I am not going to say you can’t enjoy it but there’s a lot of glaring issues with the show. As a Star Wars Series, it breaks cannon which if anyone tries disagreeing you are fighting against a brick wall and I don’t even want to talk about that. In a vacuum of its own accord it’s pretty boring and doesn’t make much sense from its own bad writing, terrible acting from majority of the actors, and the effects team being kinda ass which is a result of being over worked to hell. Many story elements are just dumb like “it’s impossible to kill a Jedi without a Lightsaber, so I am going to give you that task” then she kills two Jedi Masters without a Lightsaber (one even just kills himself which was also confusing), besides why does it matter to the Sith how the Jedi are killed, they don’t care just kill them it’s not important to how. Not to mention the main character just switching sides when she realizes that her sister is alive and even says “my loyalty is to my sister” acting like she didn’t try to kill her by burning down a colossal stone building that seemingly just erupted into flames in matter of minutes.
You are absolutely not an idiot. The show isn’t the best thing to ever happen to Star Wars, but it mostly continually gets better as it goes on. All the hate is coming from the Star Wars Theory worshippers who hate just because they want to. They don’t have any valid criticisms, and decided they were going to hate the show before it started and before it finishes. Don’t listen to them, their opinions are invalid
I think Kimir is a Sith apprentice of Plagus and he's looking for an acolyte to beat his master, the jedi will defeat him and not find out about plaegus
Well he cant be defeated by the Jedi but the rest of what you said has been my theory for awhile now.
Yea I think it more likely that Qimir is Plagueis’ apprentice than being Plagueis himself
I think acolytes are the equivalent to pawns of the Sith. Like followers and Qimir is taking orders from the higher up.
Could he be Tenebrous’ acolyte?
Remember the rules of the show? No one knows anything cause they don’t know what they are doing episode to episode
That lightsaber fight in the jungle was one of the best in Starwars history.
It would truly disappoint me if Sol doesn’t already know “Osha” is actually Mae. Can he not sense her heart? Does he not see the tattoo on her head? I hope he has a reason to engage with Mae because I’m not buying that he’s that oblivious.
Then again Yord forgot about the moths he learned about 10 minutes ago so nothing has to make sense 😔
Sure wish it did though ☹️
He probably can. He played along with lying before when he tested Osha.
I think it's implied both him and qimir know what's what.
Just to note that the author of the Darth Vader comic clarified that it wasn't literal that Palpatine helped create Anakin, as it was more of the metaphor and that the Portal on Mustafar plays almost to a 'dark side vision' or reality of fear, rather than it being a true spirit world, hence why we may presume Palpatine wanted Vader to find this and be challanged/suffer some more, cementing him into Darth Vader, which is what the whole comic run in this line was about.
In addition while that certainly was Palaptine's MO (tinkering with the Darth Side, which he seemingly claims Plagues new how to do), he also mentions that there hasn't been a "DYAD" in generations. Its hard to say if Reylo is a true DYAD in the sense that Palpatine had been trying hard to create strong force user life for his own life extension, and Rey in particular is byproduct, but we can't really explain her relationship to Ben, but it remains to be seen if these twins will be considered natural and/or DYADS or not, since Osha appears to be closed off from the Force...
THANK YOU SO MUCH for giving a real, comedic, and open minded review. I've become so discouraged by all Star War reviews that just want to bash it. I really enjoyed your reviews which simply discusses the episodes in only a way that your awesome channel can do. Thank you again.
There is some channels out there like for example generation tech for example. Otherwise id say block all the ragebait grifters from showing up on your youtube feed.
The “sol” survivor😂
Why do I get the vibe Mae is gonna turn to the light and Osha is gonna go all sith. I have a feeling the revelation might be that Sol and the others wanted to take Mae and the witches said nope and not only can't mae go but Osha is defo staying now! Caused a fight and the jedi killed them all. Mae will feel like she is in the wrong and Osha will be pissed that sol lied about everything and will give in
Hey MT I’m glad I caught your review first! It looks like the series is finally coming together in a cool way. Love the enthusiasm and insight - thank you!
There’s a rumor that the fight choreographer’s back was severely injured during this episode…. you know …. from carrying the series.
Theres joke of a person talking around about a series thats good and hes complaining for no good reason... go somewhere do anything. But stop complaining
@@jimboshrump This is a joke of a comment. #1. People are actually allowed to disagree here whether you like it or not. Literally, that's the point of the comments #2. this series has SERIOUS flaws and there are very good reasons to complain about it. #3. Go somewhere and do anything. You don't have to come here and read comments if you don't want to see complaints.
@@jimboshrump This joke is not a complaint. It’s a joke. The statement, “The Acolyte Series is broken” is not a complaint. It’s when we begin to seek fault finding, that we begin to complain. A complaint, for example, “the acolyte series is broken … the writers are terrible and keep breaking continuity and lore. Disney+ relies on nostalgia and controversy … the writers suck and this keeps happening to my Star Wars. It hasn’t changed and never will change.”
Even, “this is the best Star Wars I’ve seen in years” is a back handed compliment that falls into complaining.
Jokes are fun way to keep it light, while expressing a positive and a negative observation.
Your comment on my joke is an oxymoron. You are in fact, complaining while attempting to socially sanction … complaining.
This show has big faults, but I have enjoyed the fight choreography. I hope you find it pleasing @jimboshrump Clever handle btw.
May the force be with you. Always.
Shill / Haters are welcome here
@@lt8499 And everyone in between., right? Only Siths deal in absolutes. 😉🙏🏼🫶🏼
My biggest gripe with this episode was the editing. They would gave us neck deep in an epic fight then cut away to Osha or Mei just walking around. Then cut back in to the fight and then cut away for some other pointless exposition... It really took me out of it. This series cost like $1 million a minute, the episodes are already too short, just show us the fights that they were touting as being better than the Phantom Menace...
Mae using the force looked horrible. Ex. When she picks up the saber after knocking out Osha.
The cut aways also pissed me off
So you're saying you like fight scenes and other content such as dialogue and plot movement is annoyingly distracting from the real stuff...which is fighting?
@@_o_ nope. The editing. The back and forth was not well timed. It threw off the rhythm and pacing. Couldn't enjoy the plot nor the acrion.
You guys can't just enjoy anything these days. That episode was amazing, but it's always something negative with you people.
I think Qimir may be a former Sith apprentice who broke away and became the first Knight of Ren (aka their founder). Heck, his real name might even be Ren. We know from comics that the Knights of Ren are more unrefined in their use of the dark side than the Sith, and Qimir’s monologue about being free to do as he wish seems to make him lean more toward the Knights of Ren’s philosophy.
Great review. The Triangle execution Quimir performs on Jecki was very dark and this interesting link back to the witches. A great scene - where will it lead?
When MT mentioned Triangles and the Witches 7:07 it made a light bulb go off! If you google Shmi Skywalkers dress belt it will show a triangle pattern! And look at Mother Koril’s necklace along with a few other witches they are wearing a metal version of the necklace that Anakin was wearing when Shmi said good bye to him! She probably made a poor slaves version for Anakin. Maybe this ties her origins to this ancient witch klan!
I enjoyed the episode but someone really needs to go over to Disney and tell them how to write tv episodes... Episodes 4 and 5 shouldve been 1 complete episode. Its the same scripting issues they had with Andor all over again.
Other than that, like I've been saying since episode 3, "Its always been the Sith". Mae has yet to ever acknowledge that she was the one responsible for the fire and I'm still not buying that Qimir is anything more than an Apprentice to the actual Master.
Semantics feom your armchair at this point. It was great episode. You can get over it...
@@jimboshrump ratings and viewership numbers arent "semantics", they are cold hard facts that are the driving force behind my comment.
And good, bad, great are all opinion pieces that are not driven by any facts or data, just some random guy on the internet that wants to be heard. Weird how you think your opinion holds more weight over others and others should "get over it".
It is one episode divided for streaming
@@Voltar78 exactly.
This, this and this! And ignore the “copers”… at this point, Disney has lowered the bar so much that the “get over it” clowns will defend anything. This show is so trash, I cancelled Disney+… it’s literally not worth paying for. I added HBOMax instead… HOTD > Acolyte…
Gotta say, I wasn’t emotional invested in this show until this episode. And props for Disney for doing a twist villain CORRECTLY for once!
Darth Teef smoked them Jedi like turkey legs

If a jedi has to see your face to influence you then stormtroopers would be immune to force suggestions
Not influence, mind read aka seeing their facial expressions which show their thoughts.
Lmao… comment of the day 😂😂😂
I'm not sure it's the seeing of the face, I think it's the metal of the helm that blocks the force penetration - like Magneto's helm for mind control
The kortosis metal in helmet is special
Incredible light saber duels. The Sith, only being two, shouldn’t be easily slain by one or two Jedi. Qimir acquitted himself well.
They are NOT holding back with these character deaths, really hope they don't kill off Bazil! 🦦
Bazil will turn out to be Qimir master - 100% confirmed by Dave Filoni
Well we knew they all had to die otherwise SW EP1 makes no sense 🤷🏽♂
if only one character on this entire show survives besides Mundi, it will be Bazil.
God I hope the do. I hate that little thing. Stupidest character in the SW universe
I think the twist that Master Sol is hiding, is that the fire in the temple was put by Osha...that is why Qimmir feels closer to her, he sees the darkness inside her.
Way to bring it, MT - good breakdown!
Take a shot every time he says “Cortosis”
this account is a breath of fresh air regarding the Star Wars Fandom Civil War
Am I the only one who’s going to acknowledge that Jord when fighting qimir, said “it’s you!” And qimir replying, “ you surprised?” Before snapping his neck and no one is talking about it. Jord knew him which means he was a Jedi padawan at some point!
I think they met him or saw him at Qimir’s shop in the early episodes!
Him killing Dath teeth at that moment wouldn’t have been dishonorable, he’s too big of a threat to let live. Remember Mace saying something similar when had ol Palpy beat before Anakin decided to fk everything up…
i love the honesty of heavy spoilers. they aren't farming hate or making up problems.
It’s a level of honesty you don’t get anymore with people on social media. It’s all about engagement farming or selling your soul and real beliefs to appeal to an algorithm that you know will financially benefit you if you make certain kinds of videos.
There’s a difference between “making up problems” and this. If people enjoy the show, great, I’m happy for them. But… ugh,
It's not hate you gota use your noodle if all this came before all yh star wars dtuff you've seen before how are you literally just learning all this random info
@@OrionInSpace Sadly hate get more engagement so it's hard to take critisms seriously. A lot of channels that I know and used to like had turned into the most hate filled people like starwars theory and shadiversity. It's a real shame.
@@spoon4956 I don’t disagree with you that’s why I keep my circle small with who I follow and trust. Ya sometimes I’ll have disagreements with even the people I follow but I at least appreciate that I can tell when they are honest versus chasing the money and engagement. To your point about Theory, I don’t personally like him anymore either but it’s not out of a political reason since I haven’t seen a concrete thing yet to show he’s just making videos out of a political reason. I do however agree with you that he has just become what everyone else has become and that’s being fake. He has joined the grift like nature of UA-cam and speaks with other grifters regularly. He saw where his views were going and was losing subs so he transitioned. Lore and theory videos don’t do well for him anymore which is why he hasn’t made a proper one in a month or so.
Omg...never in a millon years would I thought Qimir was under the mask...sarcasm...
Qimir was even surprised that Mae couldn't figure it out. everyone else (us) knew.
@sethmeyer2443 😆right? It was really not subtle. I am enjoying this but all the guesses of who it was...I was like everyone stop guessing...we know it's him...I know you want it to be someone else but it's him.
I have a feeling that Plagueis might be pulling the strings behind the coven, using them for his experiments. That is why he may have been the one that sent them to the stronghold on Brendock, and he would be able to remain hiding and blame the dead Jedi on them and Qimir, rather than the Sith. If the Jedi do go and investigate the dead Jedi, and find them all dead with lightsaber wounds, it could also possibly be written off that they might have been mind controlled by the remaining witch Quirel, who made them kill each other in revenge for what they had done to the witches, and that would keep the sith's influence hidden (as long as Sol doesn't make it back to the Jedi alive - but I feel like he will be killed by Mae or Osha, upon learning if his hand in her mother's death)
When MT mentioned Triangles and the Witches 7:07 it made a light bulb go off! If you google Shmi Skywalkers dress belt it will show a triangle pattern! And look at Mother Koril’s necklace along with a few other witches they are wearing a metal version of the necklace that Anakin was wearing when Shmi said good bye to him! She probably made a poor slaves version for Anakin. Maybe this ties her origins to this ancient witch klan!
I think people are just right when they say it isn't very good. Has nothing to do with any sort of identity politics, its the writing.
6:00 Bro didn't do his research properly but thats okay lol.. Anakin was born of the force, not of Palpatine - the comic shows us Vader's darkest thoughts and fears, not any real truth.
the most taken out of context comic pages ever
The original script had palpatine tell anakin he created him in the opera scene with a egg being fertilized by sperm, that was George’s original idea,because it was a Greek tragedy. The actions you create to save yourself is what destroys you just like Anakin trying to save Padme!
@@oldmanlokithe dark side clouds are vision

Facts. Jekki went harder than everybody this episode
Not really, but she had some talent, kind of like Ahsoka
@@bleyd__she did better 1v1 against the sith than every other Jedi there except Sol. She knocked his mask off and got a kick on him
@@exploringwithkristen8065 yes, as I said she got some talent
@@exploringwithkristen8065 but you have to remember that Qimir has taken few hits, but because he has special armor, they did nothing to him. So he wasn’t flawless in those fights
Killing Qimir would not have been hypcritical. He just mirked around 8 Jedi. It's time to end this guy.
OSHA didn’t want Sol to kill the guy, yet proceeds to try have him eaten by bugs 30 sec later.
its a called a distraction....

Has it been retconned that he’s not a Munn or is that not even cannon since he wasn’t seen on screen?
@@davechan8613not canon if it’s not on screen
Easily the best episode yet. The fight choreography, Qimir Reveal and all the deaths were INSANE
- Mae turned good last episode and immediately turned bad again
- Mundi knows the Sith are back but says nothing
- Sith should be extinct but Smilo Ran calls himself a Sith
- Smilo Ren is so powerful but has remained hidden all this time?
- Smilo Ran can float about the place but no one else?
- Padawan was better at fighting a 'Sith' than a Jedi master
- Mae keeps saying she loves Osha but then tries to kill her all the time
- They let the moths take the Sith and just leave without checking he's dead?
- Where was Sol at the start of the fight? He just lets everyone get killed
- Lightsabers can just be turned off all the time?
- Not sure why Jedi can sense the two girls on the witches planet but no one at all could sense Smilo Ran?
- Where is Tenebrae etc?
Love your take. I've unfollowed 3 channels already cause they're being overly critical and tired of it. I'm enjoying it
Just out of interest, which channels were they?
@@Business101HQ Penguinz0, star wars theory and Star wars Meg. I might got back to Meg but I really think these channels just like to stir up drama. I say this as the channels like screencrush and rockstars just are more positive.
@@Dominosnox That's fair, I noticed that about SWT as well and also unfollowed a couple weeks ago, never watched the other 2 - it's funny, I actually stepped away from New Rockstars too because I feel like they're overly generous a lot of the time and I'm simply not enjoying a lot of their new presenters - Heavy Spoilers only for me pretty much at the moment 🤣
Me too! The nit picking is cringe! When they complain about lore being used like Cortosis armor after complaining about breaking lore with Ki adi Mundi! And they throw in the political culture war hate…It’s too negative and borderline sith for me!
"I'm enjoying this show and no one is paying me to say this."
Same. I genuinely don't get all the hate this show is getting. They keep saying "poor writing," just like they say for every show or movie they decide to review bomb, but come on, this show is written to the same level as 90% of the stuff people love. I'm not blown away by any of the dialog or the specific plot points, but that is not all there is to writing. There's also the bigger ideas, and those for this show I *AM* enjoying. The idea that the Jedi, no matter their intentions, make mistakes and can be responsible for tragedies. That is something that is sadly true in the real world as well. Good intentions can lead to poor results, and personal tragedies radicalize people into terrifying monsters. Also, a dogmatic belief that your way is the only TRUE way is always going to lead to systems of oppression. It's an interesting idea that in their way the Jedi were capable of the same kinds of evils as The Empire, because a rigid idea of being right can make people believe their destructive acts are necessary.
Same dude... But i mostly don't understand how those people keep watching something they hate so vocally. Disney doesn't care about reviews, they care about numbers(views, D+ revue...) and none of those are affected by negative reviews of a random star wars show lol
@@mandolen3317 Right? Like, I didn't watch Bad Batch after the first season. It just wasn't for me. I didn't claim it was bad writing, or find other reasons to hate on it. I just accept that I'm not going to love everything, and that's ok. I didn't love every Star Wars movie, and that was before the latest trilogy, so that is definitely not a "Disney" problem.
@@makingmonsterartlol i also didn't enjoy bad batch that much.
IMO they think everything star wars has to cater to what they want the franchise to be and it it doesn't happen they throw a fit. Like, we are not getting Andor season 2
Great to see someone else reviewing the series and enjoying the show as well. Great breakdown by the way of that RAW metal to counteract the lightsaber. Happy to see others who read the books and comics as well to truly appreciate whats on the screen.
I am convinced that people enjoy hating this show. I'm not the biggest fan of what Disney has done with star wars so far. And i get that what they've done has pushed some fans too far.
But the message of hope of the original movies will always be with me, and i truly see potential in this show. I get some people make a living being critical as well so I'm not here to convince anyone to change their perspective.
As Obi Wan said
"You'll find the truth's we cling to depend greatly on our own point of view"
May the force be with us all
Oh,it’s a pile on for sure and a feeding frenzy. I have my gripes too with Disney but some of this is just pure hate and culture war crap. It’s 2024 and some of these guys are pro segregation and anti gay! I think the only way to combat this is to write even better and make the characters so likable that it doesn’t seem to be force fed, add some sugar to the medicine if you know what I mean! Ellen was able to win people over and so did Sidney Poitier but to be honest there will always be a small amount of haters!
What an episode. The action is spectacular but still the character motivation execution with the leads is not sticking to the ground. Qimir's storyline is what's driving the story as I feel he has been consistent throughout every episode he has appeared in. Someone said Qimir is the standout character, scene stealer and they were right all along. The Cortosis alloy was a clever addition to Qimir's story with his armor able to short circuit a lightsaber.
This had some of the best light saber choreography I've seen... ever. The use of kortosis by Quimir was great.
When you mentioned Triangles and the Witches 7:07 it made a light bulb go off! If you google Shmi Skywalkers dress belt it will show a triangle pattern!

Kimir is the only thing that saved the show so far for me.
And Sol
Mae is super annoying and makes stupid decisions that make no sense . Plus she keeps changing sides... terrible main character. Qimir is cool, he would have been an awesome main character.
Only cool thing about qimir was his mask and his muscle tone. His character is written shittly too dawg.
The twins are not really working out as the narrator is unreliable. We should have gotten trustworthy information about them through previous episodes. However we got unreliable and skewed information.
@@ajnunez8788 Incorrect.
ya this show is written by woke third/fourth wave feminists we where never going to get a well written male MC. Mae and he sister give off self insert mary sues so its might be a good thing that they all suck. this show is a dumpster fire that makes no sense but given the books this show is based on its a given that the show is going to be bad too
@@eeen4570 it’s true dawg. SW theory seems to agree as well and he KNOWS his Star Wars
MT!!! I've been looking forward to your thoughts and breakdown ever since I watched this AWESOME EPISODE TWICE LAST NIGHT! I definitely enjoyed the action! They definitely gave us PLENTY of hints that Qimir was under that mask!
i love when he said "was that its name?". to just twist the knife in the jedi code. sol was questioning it all
The only grip i have with the show is mae changing motivations all the time. I think its intentional so willing to see what they do woth it but at the moment its kinda annoying
Qimirs' weakness is moths 😂. Never mind multiple Jedis, sign those moths up to the rebellion asap.
My favorite part was when they said " It's acolyting time" 😂
Im not one of those people who hate on everything Star Wars does, for me I actually genuinely enjoy everything we get even if the stories are lackluster so far why would I complain when we are getting content in the first place. I just wish these episodes were longer 25/30 minutes is wild and thats the one time I get mad when they end so quickly, this whole episode should have happened at the end of last weeks episode.
Darth Al-Qimir
That guy really knows what chemicals to use against the Jedi.
I did not catch the twins switched! I missed that, omg
This show is amazing and getting better every episode. I hope this is what i can expect from star wars going forward. The action, the visuals, the drama- this show is the best thing on tv right now (i say this as a huge HotD and The Boys fan)
Great recap! I learned so much! To me, this episode had some of the best lightsaber duels in the SW universe. Just a thought: What if Mae and Osha only pretended to switch places in order to fool Qimir? Also, if he and Sol can read minds, how could the twins ever fool either of them?
Qimir wants an apprentice, i think he will use Osha as a way to make Mae harm her to get full control of her dark side to turn her.
I had heavy Phantom Menace vibes in this episode.
In what world does this feel like the Phantom Menace
Qimir is the Original Ren and this show is low key a Knights of Ren origin story
I was diggin’ that theory
Best episode so far. Let's just hope it gets better
I had the thought seeing the episode play out that Qimir noticed that Osha was able to defeat her enemy without a weapon...
I just thought of something..... if that metal can "absorb energy", then it makes sense that it could absorb The Force as well, because, well, that IS "an energy field, created by all living things. It surrounds us, penetrates us, it binds the galaxy together" (Obi-Wan Kenobi: A New Hope). So, it makes sense that Sol can't read Qimir's thoughts while he's wearing it.
While I've never heard of the metal, several "Breakdown" channels have also pointed out that it has been mentioned in canon material prior to this live action debut. Being disabled and on a fixed income, I can't afford the books and comics that come out, so I do rely on others to relay pertinent information from them.
Also, to put it out there, while I do see a few "flaws" in the series, I'm able to ignore them because I'm really enjoying it otherwise. Yes, I'm being called a "Disney Shill", and even was referred to as "a stupid teenager who doesn't know shit" this morning in the comment section of another video about the episode. Which I thought was not only funny, but kinda flattering. I'm 57 years old, so being called a "teenager" is FAR from an insult to me. I mean, I do have a "younger mentality" than many people my age... but I've got a "recent" picture of me in my profile.... so that means I LOOK younger, too. =D I'll take that compliment all day long!
Edit: I wonder if Qimir was using some form of Vaapad against Jecky? He seemed to keep her at bay until he found her weak spot and killed her. You know, like Mace Windu was known to do.... find the "shatterpoint" of an opponant.
The episode restored my faith in the show after the fumbling of a kelnaca fight, I get why they didn’t show it as seeing the dark side power cut through so many Jedi was nuts, but I still wish kelnaca had a better role to play and that episode 4 as a whole wasn’t so slow and unorganized
In the plagueis novel, Plagueis and tenebrous had mining refinery on the planet bal'demnic which contained the cortosis metal which tenebrous intended to use on the jedi disabling their sabers. So maybe Qimir does tie in with darth plagueis.
Correct me if i am wrong tho
This episode lost me in so many ways. How did Mae not know it was him? I was so excited Mae was going to give up everything she knew for her sister once she found out she was alive just to have her what? Attack her and leave her defenseless on a world with the Sith Lord slaughtering everyone and with deadly creatures in the forest?? That’s a huge 180. She could have talked with her sister a bit more about the night of the fire knowing that the Jedi “brainwashed” her. But just went right into knocking her unconscious and leaving her for dead with an infected wound while she slaughters the only people who could validate her side of the story?? And I didn’t see the whole healing thing so they didn’t really make that clear. And how did Kenoka die? Are we just not going to see the high budget fight scene? And if Sol explains what happened the night of the fire in like one or two sentences in the next episode, I’m going to be super pissed we waited for this. He had soooo many opportunities to say something moments before imminent death and said nothing. And why bring Osha along in the first place? She’s been nothing but a hindrance and he clearly doesn’t want to tell her the truth until they get back to Corosunt I’m so sick of the lazy writing from Disney. Just hire better writers. Is it that difficult? Why?????
Mae, is not using your force powers. She can push people but that clear but she doesn't really know how to use it.
Just remember not all Jedi and Sith are the same. Luke and Obi-Wan was so talented at feeling a disturbance within the force. Notice that during pre-quells you don't see the Jedi really using this ability. It only when they are being hunted do they develop this sense.
Darth Vader number 25 was meant to show an unreliable narrator, it's Vader in this case, who feared that Palps somehow was responsible for his conception. Anakin was conceived by the will of the force. The writers of Darth Vader 25 confirmed this.
Ultimately Sol killed Qimir to assume the identity of Sith.
More Jedi killed on The Acolyte than on the entire Star Wars movies. Fabulous indeed!
Finally, a channel that isn't just shitting on the show. It's not perfect but I'm enjoying it, and Qimir is up there with my favourite star wars villains after this episode
Sol: I don’t kill people unarmed the guy he fights:I head but light sabers
I think Qimir (younger dark side) and Sol (older light side) are the same person, or Force dyad. If Sol killed Qimir, the dark side will be reabsorbed and fully take over his consciousness. Sol wants to keep that from happening to the sisters, too, because they’re are the same as him. The Sith want to make one of the sisters as his apprentice
I really enjoyed this episode. Now really wanna know what truely happaned that night of the fire.
And thank u guys for just sticking to breaking down the show rather than hating on it. The hate for this show is like a sore
I kinda hope that Qimir is not just a result of some other thing, like dark side science or a master who taught him things; I would love for him to just be a prodigy of the force, someone who taught himself and is driven by his hatred for the fact that the Jedi control everything. Like when he was telling Sol about his reasoning, I want that to be it. I want him to just want to be free from having to follow the Jedi’s self declared rule over everyone
I am surprised no one has mentioned the no no no comment that mirrors palpatine vs mace windu
Imo he was able to force push all those Jedi because they were not ready for such an attack and none of them made any attempt to block it. Its generally shown a force push must be countered in some way otherwise you're pushed regardless of how skilled you are.
I think all thoughts around Plagueis are misdirected. It feels like Mother Koril trained Qimir. The triangle wounds on Jecki, the mention of Qimir getting in your head like the Brendock witches - I think it all leads back to Koril, the witch we didn’t see in the aftermath of the fire. Either this story is a bottle story and has nothing to do with the canon sith line or, this is a young Plagueis who got to see the force create life and chased it for the rest of his life.
Okay… so what if Qimir is inspired by the forest bugs that attacked him to call himself Darth Plagueis. Hear me out… the forest bugs in this show sort of look like giant cicadas to me, but basically I feel like they represent one of the Plagues found in the Book of Exodus when God was punishing Egypt for their sins. I’m not a Bible expert though, it just stood out to me. Also, the bugs have this behavior where they seem to “attack” any form of light that disturbs them, which screams Sith to me. I mean that right there seems like something that would make Qimir sort of admire these bugs, especially when they were basically the only thing that could slow him down. That follows his trope where he appears to appreciate loyalty and is disgusted by weakness. If I were to make a crazy prediction it would be this: We learn that something happened to Qimir while he was captured by the bugs that leads him to decide to mind control them where he unleashes a plague on everyone in the following episodes that the Jedi then have to fight in order to survive. Just a crazy idea.
Triange stabs - great catch. I also think at at the very least, the Jedi will use revenge by the surviving witch clan as their self-delusion/cover-up/whatever story to hand wave away that the Sith still exist. Point taken that Qimir didn't specifically say he was a Sith.
I think Sol used Jedi mind tricks to make osha want to join the Jedi and qimir used the dark side to make Mae start that fire, and that’s how sol and qimir are connected by fate the same way the twins are
Osha will find out this truth thru qimir and the real plot of the acoloytes infiltrating the Jedi temple will begin and we will see a full on kotor trailer style battle in the end
