Hey you cant do that 😂
always love the star wars vids keep going!!!
Aye, when it’s a 1v8 I think bro should be allowed to use any form or move he wants without shame…turn that saber on and off a thousand times and skewer all those sons of beaches, make all the Jedi kebabs you want.
😂😂😂
Don't understand why sith would even follow a code allowing the jedi to have any fair ground, it makes more sense for sith to throw jedi off at every chance they get just to prove how dumb the jedi are
@@icrywhenisleep2130 To show how vastly powerful the sith is vs the jedi. They are so conceited in believing they are stronger even if they follow the same handicaps as a jedi.
@@icrywhenisleep2130 its to show how superior they are as palpatine once said the jedi and sith are the same
Lol. I have wondered for a long time why don't they just turn the Saber off and on. When I saw him do it in the fight I was like:
Finally!!
There is no such thing as a fair fight, win or die. Honor has no place among the dead, only the living.
Darth Bane would have liked you.
That's right
Agreed, history is written by winners.
@@TheStupendousWavethat’s lowkey a compliment
Mmm I think the fact there are force ghosts makes this comment wrong - in star wars anyway. However, I do think having sentiment about bad ways to kill someone combatively is weird.
“It doesn't matter whether you win by an inch or a mile, winning is winning. same in fighting!!winning is winning my dark apprentice

@@TheStupendousWave "You don't fight with honor."
"No, but he did."
IF it's a fair fight, YOU have done something wrong!! 👿
Power is all that matters my young Sith apprentice......😈
Just so you know, there is NO LORE SOURCE that says the Sith disliked Trakata, in fact, Trakata is even taught in Jedi teachings in lore. Someone plopped it into wookiepedia with no source and it has been adopted as fact.
Was about to write that same exact comment!! Good. Someone ought to remind these guys that Wookieepedia is not really as much of an authority on matters related to lore as they claim....
I know turning on and off a lightsaber in combat is seen as cowardly but hidden weapons and changing the length of the lighstaber is fair game.
@@josephleibowitz8887 if you take a look at Qimir's/the stranger's character profile in the description one of the techniques he's using is trakata.
@@kdusel1991 Is this description on Disney+? Or is there a wiki for the show?
@@josephleibowitz8887 Qimir uses Trakata, its on the Star Wars website itself, and on the Canon Wookiepedia Page for Trakata with a source.
the stranger knows about Filoni so he stabbed jecki several times to prevent girl from getting Sabine'd
nah just put some bandages on it its fine (I hate they made lightsaber stabs so pointless they really hate qi gon)
I think I'd rather have had Sabine get Jecki'd
They cauterize themselves....lol😂
There’s no way the additional two jabs wasn’t a not so subtle response to multiple recent shows featuring someone surviving after being impaled. Same with the skewer-kabob/beheading flourish maneuver. It’s as if the writers wanted to accentuate the fact they mean for us to entertain zero delusions about whether they could survive
I mean I’m not against the joke but uhh maul, grand inq, third sister? 😂
I believe Quimir may have used possibly 3 to 4 light saber styles all at once. The 2 that you mentioned in the video in addition also form V/Shien-style reverse grip incorporated with a bit of form VI/Niman fighting styles. Notice him using the reverse grip, with some incorporated forms of Ataru as well! Dude this may be the first time we've seen someone use so many fighting styles at one time. Friggin wild!!!!
This is all true, what I would add is that Galen Marek also used the reverse grip and he's a confirmed Juyo practitioner.
@@TheStupendousWave Brother...Galen Marek...is my favorite of the reverse grip style of lightsaber fighting, possibly the best! His arrival to the Star Wars lore hopefully at some point and if done right will change the landscape forever!!
I Saw form V overhead strikes and blocks. The 2 Stab forward lunge strike from form II. Form VII in close strikes at mid level and on the ground. And even form III blocks. All combined with Trakata, Reverse-Grip, and Dun Moch Sith Taunts.
The stranger used the style or ancient technique of street fight with a laser sword
The street always wins... . Whatever the fuck that means.
-Family Man.
This Sith Stranger is so much better than the lame Kylo Ren, I’m gonna say he’d kill Kylo.
Force choking is candy ass compared to physically neck breaking an enemy.
Of those dark side users, Qimir seems deadlier than Ben who they made into a watered down Vader.
Bad guys cheat, evil does evil things.
Stranger wouldn’t even need to use half his tricks to beat Ren… Ren literally lost or was incapable of finishing EVERY lightsaber duel he was in during the ST, with the only exception being against Snoke’s guards, and he was with Rey. It wasn’t until he reverted back to Ben and found redemption that he finally became a capable fighter again… Then y’know… he died 😂🤣😂🤣. Ren is by far the weakest of the force-using antagonists we’ve seen. He wouldn’t have lasted 10 seconds in a fight against Old Republic Jedi or Sith… Malgus could prolly beat him with his saber deactivated 😆.
@@WoodsP51same with Rey. She’s not even in the Top 100. At best she’s like high level Padawan - low level Jedi Knight (with the “all the Jedi” being a canonical parallel to “Oneness” {only she died after using it} and thus would be counted only when she utilizes it more).
Let’s face it: people put too much stock in both Rey and Ben’s capabilities that they forget that they have weak Force barriers (like Starkiller), and that if Nihilus or Vitiate use Force Drain on them, they would *NEVER* stop until the Dyad no longer exists and the hosts nothing more than a bad dream from overconsumption of juma juice and death sticks
@@tweso1499All true. But in Rey’s defense (yeah I know, it tasted like vomit when I said that to myself while typing 🤣), even by Rise of Skywalker, she still had very limited formal training and her primary “master” was Leia… I mean yeah, Leia is a Skywalker and was trained by Luke, which would have meant a lot had Disney chosen to even remotely listen to the dozens of high successful and beloved Legends content that focused on the NJO and post-ROTJ events, but the Master Luke we’ve gotten from Disney is a freakin’ shell of what he should be. But my original point is that Ren/Ben was already at his zenith… He had YEARS of training directly under Luke, and had incorporated the dark side as well for many years, and he still sucked and likely wouldn’t get much better even if he survived the events of the ST. But Rey was theoretically just scratching the surface, so she had WAY more potential to be WAY better than Ben even at his best.
No! Kyle ren was awesome!😡
@@dinoboy16 Awesomely Bad.
I like your take that the Stranger has a Master and that he's frustrated in exercising his abilities, while under control. The Sith didn't stay hidden so long with individuals like the Stranger revealing themselves; the point was to lull the Jedi into believing the Sith was decimated without a desire of regrouping. That the Jedi had no opposition. I wonder how the Stranger will be dealt with by his Master? This would amount to a serious violation I'm sure - an apprentice revealing a millennium long plan.
More likely that the writers don‘t have a clue about star wars and decided to fuck with the canon lore for no reason
I agree with @deusvult6164 but I do like the idea that the stranger is possibly going to be killed in an appalling "both parties die" duel, but the end of the series will be Darth plagueis receiving word of the strangers failure whilst on naboo in a meeting with a young untrained palpatine, very "we shall watch your career with great interest" vibes. not sure where that would fit timeline-wise but I like that as a concept (which means it'll never happen)
OR the stranger kills all the jedi and aids in killing tenebrous with plagueis, plagueis is the only one that survives and starts his search for palpatine.
Jason Mendoza has changed. He’s now stuck in The Bad Place.
It's all because he was given thousands of years to contemplate existence. When he chose to leave, his mind couldn't reconcile it all, which lead to anger...which lead to hate. He let his hate give him power
His time as a sith is what got him sent to the bad place
This is why I like your channel and what you do. Because even though you have voice your frustration with this show you still give us a breakdown of the lore even if they break it.
The Acolyte doesn't break lore in any meaningful way, though. "The Force itself manifested a child" is very different from "We used the Force to cause a pregnancy" in exactly the same way that Vader choking people out is normal, but someone dropping dead in a locked room because the Force willed it would be wildly unprecedented.
And the line about the Sith being gone for thousands of years was literally wrong the moment it was said. We are directly told and shown in the Prequels that the Sith had been there the whole time.
@@InvictusByzthat's how I feel about it. Anakin is still the chosen one. Some whichs just mad twin with the force abusing it and the whole reason for the chosen one was because the force got tired of being abused by both sides
No canon lore was broken
no lore was broken. U just mad that the story is not centered on the male members of the dominant caste
@@gl0bal7474Gaslighting
3:55 Dooku did not say this. This quote is from the book "The Jedi Path", and the person who wrote that was Former Jedi Battlemaster Skarch Vaunk.
This brotha making trash look badass! LMFAO Bro dont cover this horrible horrible horrible star wars show, I don't count it as canon because of how dogshit it is.
Something that strucked me during this episode (and at large with the people that did the coreagraphy) was that Qimir for sure was a good duelist but the man had a far too unopolished fight style. We tend to think on polished techniques because the movies and shows tend to focus on siths like Vader or Dooku that were great jedi duelists BEFORE the dark side and later on learned the ways of the dark side, so both became powerhouses without the need of movility or the acrobatics of the jedi. In this episode you can notice Qimir using a fighting style TOTALLY opposed of the grace and elegance of Dooku and or the relentless striking force of Vader. Is strong, yes but feels more like a brawling match, unpolished and even amateurish. Is a great detail and also works great with the context and personality of the character.
Honor doesn't exist on the battlefield where it's kill or be killed because your enemy will do anything to survive the battle with unthinkable tactics.
ive read this argument a billion times across a billion comments that it just gets boring.
its impractical, to say the least.
and claiming trakata was used by Qimir is a misconception.
Well that technically is Ashina style from Sekiro XD
All I know is Qimir is the most wicked person ever to be seen in the whole Star Wars universe.
Which ones that? There is a whole lotta bad in this.
@@joewhitt2073Qimir is the stranger
Kathleen Kennedy exists
Somebody never read the EU
Youngling slayer has entered the chat. The very act that caused Anakin's eyes to go Sith and truly become Vader, is worlds more wicked than anything Qimir has done on screen.
I love the lightsaber combat he was doing this fight sence was so freaking cool 😊
Since Ashoka could go toe to toe with Maul during and after the end of the Clone Wars, I wonder if she could take on the Stranger in a fight
Incredibly weak choreography.
@@darylsdesigns6679 Probably. Unlike everyone on screen in this series, Ahsoka knows what she's doing in a fight.
@@LetholdusKaspyrweak but incredibly compared to other disney fights
@@firehd520 Damning with faint praise.
Love the splitting saber. Reminds me of cal.
I dont think he is using Trakata, he stabbed her 3 times.
Same as me. I think Trakata is mainly focused on turning your blade off and on mid fight. We didn't see him doing that.
@@karacic5very hard to see since jeki was infront... man such awesum directing to get the people talking
@@buckseyboyEven if he turned the saber on and off to stab her those three times, that isn't Trakata. By that logic every time we see a lightsaber turn off or on in the films we're seeing Trakata.
@@buckseyboy He pulled out his shoto saber from the hilt of his main saber. He didn't turn it off and on.
You can see that he has 2 saber after she falls to the ground and while stabbing her, you can see that he holds another saber steady.
I think it was tri-kata
I like the “Strangers” fighting style in the Acolyte Tv show & I think more DarkSide users need to adopt the philosophy of using such cunning to win Combat situations✅.
There is no fair fighting , there are no rules in war , there is only wining or losing / life or death no more or no less 👏🏾.
Whether the enemy he high republic era Jedi or not you cannot afford to take the gamble in playing with your prey you must all all sufficient challengers as quickly & unfairly as possible to make sure victory is certain.
8 vs 1 odds?
Like Qimir I would be leaving nothing up to chance so best believe all the stops will be pushed out to handle business with no regrets 👌🏾.
#TheAcolyte #LongLiveTheDarkSide
Yeah if it’s a real fight it’s a bunch of crap to expect everyone to stick to certain rules. This is not the Olympics. The Jedi order looking like fools more and more
At what point does Qimir use Trakata? He only shuts his saber off during pauses in combat
Blocking all Disney shills and those who cover this garbage. Enough is enough👋
I wonder if Darth Vader would appreciate the Stranger’s combat skill since both men took on and defeated several Jedi single-handedly
Except for the 501st LEGION of clone troopers Vader had at his back, you mean?
I see you trying to carry water for this slop, and I am of course going to call it out.
@@Gnigghunter before the 501st stepped in

@@Gnigghunter the Conclave of Kessel
None of them can know that the Sith are alive anyways, Mae is def going to kill Seoul before they get to Corissant and that means no jedi are left and Mae and they might say Osha are force wielding murders who used Kalnacas Light saber to kill the other Jedi for what Seoul and the gang were hiding about the coven but Maes reason is because if they never came then the Coven would still be there and they'd be a happy family.
I honestly think that the new "Sith" dude and Mae were trying to convert Osha together and he revealed himself because he knew there would be no survivors and why he let Mae go with Seoul to finish her list and now he will have two "pupils".
the object of combat is to win period. let the weak complain about the techniques of the strong
He didn’t use that method of tuning his lightsaber on and off, bro did you even watch the episode 😂
i think we think farther then the people who made the show did
The Acolyte is TRASH
I dont need to see one second of it after hearing the Director speak.
That is the idea, to make the sith and the jedi so different
One who cares about order and rules, the other wants freedom and thrive in chaos
One cares about the well-being of the peoples of the galaxy, the other never had this thought his/her mind
One wants to seek the will of the force, the other seek his/her own will
The jedi want stability, the sith want change
The jedi are the constrained, the sith are the unconstrained
The jedi are the establishment, the sith are the revolutionaries
I don't believe in fair fights all my fights are gritty & dirty I'm tryin to bring an eye ball back...
Come on bruh, the acolyte is so bad you shouldn't even consider it canon.
I can’t figure out where the mask he wears looks familiar to me. Maybe abeloth?
“Honor is a fools prize, glory is of no use to the dead”. One of my favorite bane quotes.
You need to watch the new episode. You may be wrong on his origin training lol
At 3:21 you say that he used Form VII Djem So, I think you meant to say Form VII Juyo.
They need to just retcon this show before its even over. Just ignore it like the sequels and the Christmas special. Hot trash.
This is why we need a Grey Jedi character, one who doesn't hold back, bound by rules, yet steong enough to withstand going full dark.
naw sith are stronger by not bound by rules
Ughh u covering the jaculate makes me unsubscribe
How is anyone able to sit through the latest Star Warts shows!
Dooku and Vader were Jedi trained Sith lords. Dooku valued his appearance and this would include his saber style which was a very refined Fencing. Anakin was a fighter so he relied on aggressive fighting in war to overwhelm opponents. Darth Maul carried a Saber Staff. His style was aggressive but still somewhat refined to be smooth so he could be subtle in killing as an assassin.
This is giving way too much credit and credence to a show that didn't really care much about this stuff.
Yeah Blud is adding lore and intelligent writing where it wasn’t considered
anakin used soresu , vader never did - his armor prevented it. he was djem so. He fought much like Bane's lightsaber instructor, kas'im.
im a fucking nerd....
I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again: jarkai and trakata were made for each other! You open up your enemy by forcing them to defend themselves from one saber, then igniting the other saber in another spot. Trakata’s effectiveness with a shoto is not to be underestimated. However, if you’re gonna master jarkai and trakata, to really make the techniques excel, you need ghost fire sabers. Tranluscent, hardly any sound and casts after images of the wielder!
Why the heck are there even rules in a fight for life?
But he never used Tràkata...
does anyone else miss the times where lightsabers were lethal?
Trakata is extinguishing your saber to bypass a block/parry, then re-igniting it to strike. The initially ignited blade is feint to draw the opponent's saber away. Qimir didn't do that.
The fight in episode 5 was bad! The choreography was horrid!! Woke Disney thinks this is good which shows how far they’ve fallen.
I like this guy. Especially the hidden shoto.
still can't convince me to watch that crap
Even the sixth hate the acolyte series
It’s pretty cool how his armor is made of Cortosis and it shorts out a lightsaber and the Jedi are caught off guard by it
The funny thing is i saw a lot of people complaning that and i qoute " Thats not how Beskar works" and then used that point to shame the story writers and producers that they don't know how star wars works. I was laughing my ass of even though in not the greatest fan of disney and this show.
@@daseumell95 those are not true fans😂
@@christophershore8481 I agree hahahaha
I loved it, the show had been sucking bad as the acting was bleh, but when I saw this I was like oh yeah it’s time, all the banned stuff
Why is this being advertised as being canon…
Who gives a damn about the acolyte
Qimir studied all the old martial arts movies with the bad voice tracks
I think you have the quote mixed up. He states in seperate occasions 1st: "honor is a fools prize." He states this to the Brotherhood blade master Kasim. 2nd: "Honor is for the living. Dead is dead." He states this to Lord Cordis as the academy master is choking to death at Banes hand, begging for death by combat as an honorable Sith
Everyone involved in that duel looked like a novice.
Not Jecki,Yord or Sol
@@darkarrow3683 If you say so.
None of them ever had to fight anyone legit.
@@officialthomasjames Funny thing is, this show mentions relatively frequent conflict with Dark Jedi splinter factions and such, so lightsaber conflict wasn't outside the realm of possibility. The prequel era, on the other hand, was so peaceful that Dooku was looked down on for studying how to duel. Yet somehow, prequel era Jedi were less soft and weak at the beginning of the conflict than the Jedi in this show.
@@LetholdusKaspyr
Still cooler than the sequels
Didn’t happen because the light from the saber didn’t vanish or even lower
Maybe you should check your manuscript. You keep saying the wrong Form, calling 'Djem So/Shien' for 'Soresu', and calling Form VII 'Djem So', not 'Juyo'.
And he barely used Jar'Kai or Tràkata.
If there will be a s2, I hope they don't make Mei overpowered in saber combat. He's killed so many and shown so much skill that he should remain a powerhouse
"All is fair in love and WAR" The goal of a fight is to win. It isn't a competition, it is life and death. Win....BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY! Having the advantage by using the second blade or whatever form you are talking about is simply smart.
1 vs 10 or so is not very "honorable" How many times have we seen multiple Jedi fighting 1 Sith???? They are quite possibly the least honorable.
Bro finally someone interesting
Form VII is Juyo... Did you mean to say Juyo, or did you mean to say Form V?
Want to fully understand what you mean - as I think his style looked more like Juyo than Djem so - but I don't consider myself an expert, and would definitely defer to someone far more knowledgeable than I.
I would also add that it appeared he was using Form VI Nimen aggressively as well as any other forms - such as when he used a force pull to draw that jedi onto his blade (for a double-kill), shown in this very video.
________________________________
Personally - were I to hazard a guess, I think that Qimir is a master of Form VI, and blends any/all techniques he can from all the other styles in order to get and maintain an advantage - be it Trakata, or Juyo, or Djem So, or Jar'Kai. A Form VI master is the embodiment of unpredictable after all, and there are only subtle differences in the original founding concepts behind Nimen and Jar'Kai - so it's also fitting with your analysis.
TBF, Form VI is basically Form I-V combined (so all he would need to add would be elements of Juyo for someone who can utilize basically any form he likes).
I hate one thing in EVERY star wars movie, series, pc game etc....WHY THE HELL jedi always losing light saber battle with every random sith, or dark force user.....if they are that weak Sith Empire would never fall! THAT IS SOO boring and lame, every time.....we having they same story... some one sithh kills many many jedi and in last stand he loose to the main character:/
Speculating that Disney cares about fighting forms is deep cope. This video is way more entertaining and enjoyable than any of the new Star Wars though. And I appreciate it.
Its very unfortunate that the Star Wars has become a money milking tool for Disney. Zero quality.
"The greatest honor in battle... is victory" - Klingon proverb
As for the forms, I've never cared for how obsessed some people seem to get with lightsaber forms. Sure, it makes sense that they'd be a part of most Jedi combat teachings, because it's just another aspect of standardization that becomes more commonplace the larger an organization gets or the longer it continues to exist. But ultimately this dependence on discussion of forms to analyze lightsaber battles feels like the D&D dependence on classes to define, yet limit, what a character can learn to do. I prefer an approach to the concept more akin to GURPS or Champions (Jeet Kun Do compared to Wing Chun Kung Fu might be a better example, but I am far more conversant in TTRPG rulesets than real life martial arts, so I'll stick to my area of specialization). Adherence to any limitation of forms or refusal to study is simply a failure of preparation in my opinion, with actual combat depending more on one's ability to adapt, improvise, and overcome (Sgt Highway) rather than respect for tradition for the sake of tradition.
The luxury of valuing how a fight is won is reserved solely for the victor.
Weird that Trakata is looked down upon now by both Jedi and Sith, despite it being an apparently acceptable technique within the lightsabers forms in the _Path of the Jedi_ book. Anyway. I'd like to introduce form -1 lightsaber form of Beyond Visual Range. It utilises a long rifled slugcaster with optical equipment, and requires a good head for numbers to function, as well as a good head for psychology.
Have yet to actually watch the show yet, trying to convince myself I should just to see if it's as bad as many say. But this mask? Really? I mean... really?! Are those supposed to be fangs? What is he, Darth Freddy Kreuger? Vader's mask was iconic but it served a purpose, he needed it to breathe along with the rest of the suit. Kylo Ren's mask was an homage to grandpa Vader because he was a damn fanboy. Goofy but not too bad... But this... dime store Halloween biker helmet? That's not just silly it's... uninspired. Something a gradeschooler could have thought up, not the great creative geniuses that are making a multi million dollar show... Nihilus was intimidating because it let you see that behind the mask there was nothing but emptiness. Revan's mask was a mark of his commitment to defeat the Mandalorians. Sith masks are functional, symbolic or both. And I have doubts there's any of that behind this guy's mask... but hey, maybe I'm wrong. Yes, this was about his fighting style, kinda underhanded and not too atypical for a Sith. As for this guy's use of Tràkata... I seem to recall a video mentioning that Sith generally were not fond of this sort of style, hidden blade or deactivating lightsabers only to reactivate them to land a killing blow. Though that may only be some Sith's opinions on it. To me, it would not be about honour to not fight so underhanded but about pride. If the only way you can beat an opponent is using tricks then you both lose. But again, sneaky strategies are not something a Sith would avoid. But they're more assassin techniques than marauder, to use Old Republic terminology.
The very concept of "Honor" is a conceited and luxurious idea that can *only* be developed by people and culture groups who have obtained such a lack of concern about their daily survival that they can start making up imaginary rules about what is and isn't acceptable when fighting for one's life.
And it's almost always the Royalty/Nobility/Aristocracy/Ruling Class that come up with it. Chivalry, Bushido, etc. Those are cushy rich people ideas. Not ideas from people literally fighting for survival on a regular basis, doing *whatever* it takes to survive.
Bruce Lee said something along the lines of their being no rules in a fight for your life except to win. And that's what makes Qimir so devastating to these Jedi. His goal is to win and survive. These Jedi, especially at this point in history, can't even imagine what that's like and will always be at a great disadvantage because of it.
As far as turning the blade on or off? When they did it in the sequel trilogy (throne room fight with the guards,) I couldn't help but think "ok, that makes perfect sense for these sorts of weapons - why would they be on all the time given force-user skills, foresight, etc?" I'd love to see a "duel" of fakes- where a blade's only going to be extended once when a killing strike's about to happen. So... yeah, I'm for it.
I think the design of the helmet looks whack, specifically the smile. The show writers should have explained about cortosis before the fight scene instead of hoping that viewers would be legacy Star Wars fans who already were aware of the properties of cortosis. Its kind of hypocritical that Lucasfilm writers and the showrunner openly dismiss legacy Star Wars fans in search of a new demographic audience while simultaneously relying on legacy fans to undertstand the intricacies of the story. Until The Acolyte, Cortosis was a material from Legends and no one but HARDCORE Star Wars fans would have any idea it exisited. Also, the Stranger could have easily parried with his lightsaber instead of headbutting the blade, but the headbutt was more dramatic.
I noticed this too. And it made me sad. They went out of their way to carefully select the Sith Lord's fighting style but we all knew who it was immediately.
Wasted details on a campy show and horrible script.
The unique form, disassembling lightsaber hilt, and cortosis armor are all very clever!
But using trakata is not only “dishonorable”, but far beyond that it is an admission that the user is vastly outmatched in its purest form!
Cheap trick or not: you must admit that Qimir fixed the greatest practical flaw in trakata: its momentary lack of defense. Qimir fixed that problem by keeping one blade stopping the opponent, and the other for killing the opponent.
Almost everyone has overlooked that 8 Jedi tried to swarm him and overwhelm him with sheer numbers, yet he prevailed! He used every trick at his disposal but he not only survived, but he embarrassed the Jedi!
So basically this guy is more or less skilled as a "Force/Street Knife fighter/Brawler" type of style.. while both the main Orthodox light and dark Orders prefer more strait up fighting
As a real life blade student myself Luke and this fighter an some others use Espada Y Daga style fighting its just a matter of being ABLE to battle with or AS such a fighter. Which cone think of it ALSO was things neither Group seem to like even trying to fight as or against
Cheating? A "fair fight"? Fair means you've got a 50/50 chance, which means you've screwed up. In a fight for your life, "fair" is the last thing you want the fight to be.
' ' Lets Fight!, stanger! .... Wait Why You Turn on/off Your Lightsaber? ' ' [ *This is The Last Word form James Before he like satoru* ]
You should never fight a fair fight. If you're fighting a fair fight, you've screwed up. Oh, I'm not talking about treachery. A fighter should have superior technique. Superior strength. Superior conditioning. Superior state of mind. And, yes, if all else fails....Superior treachery. Rules are for the dojo. Out in the real world, anything goes.

If u meant the form but mistook the name, it makes it even worse cuz ur whole premisse turns bs.
Besides the form7 that windu claimed to have invented, being not around as his version cuz he wasn't - his form7 was only a castrated n rebranded jedi version of the real form7.
That form was the one actual sith created form, that was totally alien 4 the jedi n impossible to use for'em (including windu) cuz it demands the user to channel the dark side.
The thing windu did to make it a jedi form actually crippled the strongest aspect of it.
However, the important point here is, that it obviously isn't hated by sith or they wouldn't have invented it to begin with.
The reason to do so is obviously the need for things that non of the 6 known styles (actually seven with form5 being 2 very different sub forms) provided even in the highly agressive forms 1 n 5 that already were to nearly dark 4 some jedi.
So in that context most sith would either apprecheate the real form7 which gives them a thing they wanted or they'd b indifferent if they found the existing forms enough... What's totally unlikely is an sctive distain 4 it. Not only were they free to use the others but also wouldn't they never face a jedi who uses it, before windu.
Agsinst ither sith could b the only scenario that makes 'em face form7 which during bane's era is not an option.
So ur title is not just a lil' incorrect but absolutely free from any logic on several levels - total bs at best, willingly misleading most likely.
Purely spewing of baity titles that sometimes haven't to do with the video at all n very often either fail to deliver the explanation to the adventurous titles, or it even explains itself the actual lore which debunks the title as if it's no difference if ur viewers get what they picked ur stuff for but the opposite instead.
wait Form 7 is Juyo /Vaapad isn't it? Also, I wonder if Qimir is trained as a Dark Jedi to distract the Jedi from the true Sith? That would explain how Qimir can easily defeat several Knight to Master level Jedi
The Sith and Jedi both valued skill and...well, not honor exactly, while it was honor for the jedi, it was more bravery for the Sith. For example, there was a technique where you flicked your lightsaber off and on again to go through your opponents blade. Neither a jedi OR a sith would ever be caught dead doing it. For the jedi, it was dishonorable, for the sith it was cowardly. Either way it wasn't something they wanted to be accused of. Sure, if they just killed all the witnesses, no one would ever know, but don't forget that the force visions were a thing, but doing such a thing would most likely get out witnesses or no.
Trachata is done by a Jedi Master in visions "the elder" vs old sith , the ultimate form combo I think is Form III Soresu Form V Shien/Djem so Form VI Niman Form VII Juyo/Vapaad , Jarkai Trachata Dun Moch , and I would use a split saber(w saber staff & crossgaurd emitter) aswell its funny jedi mirror samurai w long & short blade , but as a Kenjutsu student we draw the Long pass to left & draw short w right as weaker hand does striking and stronger hand defends
Haven't watched the video yet. But to get this out of way Jecki's death was not trekata
Thanks to commenter @zvsts2017 on one of Ecksclips shorts who pointed out saying " notice his hand movements"
The shorter shogon blade allows for stabs in quick susession
The starwars guide does say 'The stranger' uses Trekata. But according to other commentors it was used in the jedi fights that were blocked by the trees
Imagine turning your only defensive tool off, I always laugh when someone suggests that this would work, you know that they have never held a sword in their hand.
How exactly would you use it? Turn off light saber before block= get slashed by the opponent.
Turn off light saber when opponent holding your sword down? Why not just turn your blade around theirs and cut?
Any situation where this would not be an immediate blunder you are better off just cutting the opponent up and not wasting time turning your blade on and off.
The stranger is most probaly the first Ren. First of all the kylo ren theme plays at the end. He has no yellow eyes. His outfits fits perfectly to the Ren. Also we know that this group is founded at least during or even long before the Empire (plausible Timeframe). The force healing is super rare ability for sith but common for Rens known in canon. His fighting form, especially when and how he uses the force, is not typical for a sith. No forcelightning. Kybercrystal bleeding is also known to be used by the Rens.
At 3:25 you called Form VII Djem So, assume you meant Juyo, or was the name right and you accidentally used the wrong form number? Both forms are aggressive so not sure which you meant.
Great light saber style breakdown. I know some people have their complaints about this show, including yourself, but this episode has really stepped up the low standards. Everyone complaining will still continue to be watching including yourself so let’s try to enjoy the best parts of it and talk about that.
Where is master Yoda during this time. He IS alive during this time. It's only 100 years before the Phantom Menice, right?
An assassin like no other, a machine who only knows the art of the kill. I love the abandonment of code and rules that The Stranger uses. Jar Kai is my favorite lightsaber style and Trakada is a great style to combine with it.
To defeat a Jedi honorably is to expose their adherence to a lie. You see, to defeat a Jedi honorably is to mock their futile struggle against the dark side. Not knowing this is why you are not a sith.

He uses tricks.It happens in duel. But I prefer skill alone. Practice and hone your lightsaber skills. Of course Sith have no honor whatsoever! May the Force be with you too😊
In a fight to the death, there are no rules. The only thing I even remotely l like in this series is the Sith Stranger. I am rooting for him now. If I was a Jedi, I would have carried a vibroknife just for situations like this. Unarmed combat means you weren't prepared, even picking up a stick or rock works better.
Turning off lightsaber "You are unwise to lower your defenses." Yeah, this is a dumb-dumb "technique".
although the saber duel was an big improvement on what Disney has ever done, I'm hearing that they are going to replace Darth Plagueis or Darth Tenebrous with Mother Aniseya or Mother Koril.. going to be honest but that would really suck as the book darth Plagueis is an amazing book... if that's what they are going to do Disney has literally put Star Wars in the toilet..
Short version of the video-
Both sith and Jedi- “we’re mad at people who use tricks and underhanded techniques because it counters master who work on nothing but skill, so we’re gonna get mad at anybody who uses those tactics, because we think skill makes anything and we’ll be crabby any time we’re beaten with anything other than skill”
