Imagine how difficult it must have been to be SO careful as to not give away anything but about his character from the first two episodes, and they did a LOT of interviews! Of course, we had some foreshadowing from when Mae tried to attack him in E2 and he easily outmaneuvered her, but we only realized that in hindsight.
I dont know if it was one of their first interviews where he had to lie. But there is an interview where he is lying and Amandla is next to him just dying laughing. 😅
If I was facing an opponent with a weapon capable of cutting me in half like its butter, I'm not going to stick my fists anywhere near them and nor would the opponent. The acolyte was still interesting but the "pose for the camera" qimir did when killing that padawan was no better

There’s also one where the interviewer tells Charlie and Dafne how it was like using the sabers and pardons Manny for a bit while they answer. I suspected he knew how to use a saber with his expressions and body language. What a great reveal. This reminds me of that interview where the Quicksilver actor Evan Peters had to lie about ever returning. Y’know the other actors like Cyclops was also really nervous I wonder if we’ll see them in Deadpool & Wolverine.
It sucks that at the very least, we’re not gonna see Qimir story continue in live action. Him and Sol were the only two things that kept me invested the whole show
@@DanyTheMe I don’t mean to ever be a hater on Star Wars, but there is no chance this gets a second season. The fan and critical backlash was the worst I’ve ever seen for any project.

@@DanyTheMe I just think Disney is gonna be wasting money making the fandom of Star Wars unhappy and not garnering interest of the general public in any good way if they go along with a second season.

It's okay, that worked out real well for the rest of the humans like myself who are into dudes. Hey, you lot have your Padme in her skintight fit and Leia bikini, we have shirtless Hayden and Manny Jacinto. It's a win-win.
Lying like a true Sith.
bro has that sith deception in real life and i love it

Most people already knew, they didn’t expect much from this type of creation
Almost as difficult as it is to get through watching this show
@@HogLord420 almost as difficult for crybaby star wars fans to not cry about every new release 🤭
@@HogLord420cry baby!
@@HogLord420 It was complete trash - Star Wars Vision was pretty solid.. Check that out
I’m surprised he didn’t take a vow of silence as a monk. (Wink wink)

Amandla Stenberg tries not to laugh too hard.
Manny is absolutely amazing as Qimir.
Never heard of this guy before, but bro absolutely crushed this role. Emmy-worthy, IMO.
HAHAHA
He was in The Good place
Emmy? No.
Bringing that lightheartedness......
Qimir: Kills off most of the characters.
i love the choreography in Acolyte because it has hand to hand combat and how a jedi should really fight without prequel's flashy showboat move.

but was he really lying or is what he told us true from a certain point of view?
Seems to me like he was just trying to keep a secret? Was this before or after the reveal?
Before. This video isn’t malicious, I just think he’s funny.
Ikr I was thinking the same thing its funny.
how do you even misinterpret a video like this lol
@@MrTizla it's because 99% of videos about The Acolyte are speaking negatively about it (rightfully so tbh)
I love him lol
Rooting for the Jaguars could turn anyone to the Dark Side
bortals!
I’ve only ever heard Manny speak when he’s playing Jason so it was shellshocking to hear his real voice for the first time
Amazing edit! 😂
he didnt do the cool jedi forcefu / lightsaber stuff, from a certain point of view.
I’m only watching because of him
Too bad for u
You wont regret
HES THE GUY FROM THE GOOD PLACE!?!?!
"Lightsaber Envy." Says the guy with one of the coolest lightsabers in the franchise.
He's been Andrew Garfield`ing us all the time.
Not sure if he's being held a gunpoint by Leslie Headlamp or he's just taking his role as a Sith very seriously
Power of Manny.😂
Bro was one of the best parts of the show ngl. Just didn’t wanna see him skinny dip.
It's okay, that worked out real well for the rest of the humans like myself who are into dudes. Hey, you lot have your Padme in her skintight fit and Leia bikini, we have shirtless Hayden and Manny Jacinto. It's a win-win.
@@user-yp6yr9te7l I uh never really liked Leia and Padme being in suggestive clothing. It always felt awkward
To be honest I think that he has done really well all things considered. It is just a shame that the show's plot is so convoluted.
@Former_Democrat I was being diplomatic, but yeah
Espero tenga mas protagonismo en la temporada 2. Me gustó mucho su personaje
Probably the reason why he looks so tired coz he's been lying to us. He got tired from lying 😅 good on him tho coz Qimir is a cool character
53rd like. Lol hilarious I didn't know this till now.
He's qualified for MCU
May the Force Field be with you
The way of the Sith of course
Lmaoo
BORTLES
Send help
😭❣️
what exactly is lightsaber envy or like what does he mean lol
Being envious of those swinging lightsabers? What do you not understand?
Music name?
wut? i mean who cares
you did. Enough to come here to drop a comment.
