Qimir: "How do you kill a jedi without a weapon?"
Also Qimir: *snaps fucking neck*
I think it's going to be more, him corrupting Sol to the Dark Side. He nearly had him all the way there after killing Jecki, the only thing that kept Sol from falling completely was Osha.
A Jedi that falls, is not a Jedi anymore.
Brilliant…brilliant… (Darth Maul voice)
@@dbks_ lol
@@CrashB111that's where I thought he was going as well with "kill a Jedi without a weapon".
Those comments about Sol and his darkness were interesting too.
"Like so...justly."
“How to do you kill a Jedi without a weapon? You turn them..”
Well, would he want that? There is the rule of two still
@@perssontm1628 he’s literally not a sith
@@perssontm1628 If we are being totally honest a lot of siths violated the rule of 2
You turn their heads around.
@@LowbaccaShaka He might be still. Time will tell
I really liked the choreography - kinda puts Ahsoka to shame ngl. As other people in the comments have said, he could be the first Knight of Ren. He does look similar to Ren from the comics, but without the burns, scars, and a different mask. And on the topic of the Jedi potentially covering up the discovery of a Sith... well, they did cover up what happened with Mae and Osha, so it's not far fetched.
He said he has no name, but the Jedi would call him Sith. Made me think that he doesnt identify as sith but thats what the jedi would call him. The Ren theme played when he covered up osha
yeah that what it seems like.
he literally called himself a sith.. he is sith.. he is saying that because there isnt suppose to be a sith around or not known anyway.. so this destroys established cannon in the series
@@KrGsMrNKusinagi0are you really THAT stupid? He said that he has no name, but the Jedi would call him-Sith. Meaning that’s what the Jedi would call a Darkside wielder a Sith because they are so egotistical and arrogant that they wouldn’t know the difference between a Sith and a simple Darkside wielder.
@@KrGsMrNKusinagi0 he could be saying that the jedi refer to any dark wielder as sith at this point
@@6-dpegasus425 Agreed. Or at least it's a commentary of how Jedi feel like they are the only ones who should be able to wield the force, while everybody else is their enemy.
Love how Jecki was basically saying the Miranda right as she was trying to arrest Mae
when he kills Jecki, we can't see it - but i 100% believe he did not stab her 3 times, i don't think the left arm moved at all. I 100% believe he stabbed her the first time, turned the saber off and on again punching another hole in her, turned it off again and then turned it back on punching another hole in her all without moving more than his wrist.
Same, that's absolutely what it looked like
Kind of alludes to that when he puts the saber to their head like a gun
If she’s still alive…
@thribs nah there's no way that's survivable, the other folks at least made sense based on placement
It's the same 3 stab combo you get in Blaster stance of Jedi Survivor. It's like a riposte.
i love this reaction! i want to sit in a room full of people that just want to enjoy star wars. Hopefully the Mandalorian movie will give us that chance to be among fans and live a moment in life
OSHA: you’re the violent one.
Mae: they turned you against me!
OSHA should have said: what were the last words you said to me? ‘I’ll kill you?’
Also…”they turned you against me”…and proceeded to knock out her sister, leave her possibly mortally injured, take her identity and leave her for dead. Ladies and gentlemen, this is what you call being a sociopathic psychopath.”even in the revelation of our triumph, we see the depth of our despair.”
Could he be somehow related to Mae and OSHA? Part of the coven? A third baby? A brother? Which would explain all the “you don’t recognize me? And “you look familiar” and “remember me?” And “you!”
I think that Qimir doesnt have a name because he hasnt been given a title by his master. He may well be a rogue that the true master will kill for breaking the rules.
True. I have a feeling that he might be a former Sith trained to a certain point by a Sith Master but broke away to follow his own philosophy and probably became the first Knight of Ren.
@@dbks_ Very possible. I would love that.
I think Qimir was once a Sith but wanted to wield the Dark Side in a more unrestricted way and so broke away from them to form his own order, the Knights of Ren. The emphasis on distributing power to many Ren knights as opposed to a single Sith apprentice would explain how the knights of Ren became so weak in the sequels.
This was the best intro of all the Acolyte intros. I like how Quimir fights low down & dirty while simultaneously reminding the Jedi of their princibles & rules in combat.
P.S. If i was Sol, i would have killed Quimire in front of Osha...
Yeah, although it's not the jedi way, it's gotta be the better choice for everyone
He was trying to turn him make him kill with darkness
Great reaction guys. As much as I haven't enjoyed most of this show, I've enjoyed the unarmed combat and the lightsaber fights in this episode were the most brutal I've seen.
Also, when the dark force user said that the Jedi might call him a sith, I took that saying that the Jedi use the word Sith as a derogatory word to describe anyone who uses the dark side.
You are 100% Correct regarding the Sith. He would have the rank of Darth. Therefore Darth something.
13:15 finally a reaction I can relate to
Thanks to Jack, Julien, Jordan and Christian! 🌑 It's great to see the energy absorption metal *cortosis* brought into live-action. 🔸 Did y'all notice a bit of the 'Kylo Ren' theme played as 'Qimir' knelt and covered 'Osha' with his cloak, near the end?
@DrewMack-tv8oz Not the entire song, but the main melody played once, Drew.
@DrewMack-tv8oz 😊
Its great to watch some guys who enjoy Star Wars too. Great reactions!
It’s safe to assume if Jecki had survived she would’ve gone onto made for a hell of a Jedi Master. Her ability to hold her own in the duel for so long was crazy to watch
It felt weird 'cuz some of da Jedi there who were supposed 2 have better training were pretty easily cut down.
@@willfilmon182 Caught of guard I guess. Quite a lot of them got disarmed by the Cortosis too whilst Jeki had Kelnecca’s saber as back up
@@willfilmon182 This is likely their first real fight against force wielding opponent who was genuinely trying to kill them, as good as training is won't fully compare to the real thing
@@willfilmon182 They at least fought better than the "Masters" that died in two seconds to Palpetine in Revenge of the Sith lol.
Chills the entire episode those saber fights were clean!!
Damn Quimir came back with a glow up he went from funny nerd to sexy badass with a wordrope change
Qimir is not a sith i repeat he is not a sith. he said the jedi "MIGHT" call him sith but he is not for he has no name. every sith is given a name by a sith master. also they play the kylo ren theme for qimir when he heals Oshi
No yellow eyes or "Darth" title either
@@joelwatkins Dooku was the Sith Apprentice Darth Tyrannus and he never had yellow eyes. Even Anakin after being “knighted” Darth Vader didn’t automatically change eye color. It’s only when you are so immersed in the Dark Side of the Force and one with your anger and hate that your eyes turn that color.
@joelwatkins yellow eyes aren't specifically sith, they're simply representative of one fully channeling the dark side
@@tristianjones8915dooku actually did have yellow eyes several times through the clone wars series, but you're right they're not exclusive to sith
He's the original Knight of Ren.
The question is; Why wouldn't Sol immediately report this back to Coruscant (Vernestra)? If he does, why is this unacknowledged or disbelieved by the Jedi at large? I would honestly be okay with a dismissal by KAM saying something like, "If you look in the Jedi archives you will find many accounts of false identifications of Sith."
The last 10 minutes of this episode parallels revenge of the Sith so perfectly.
You have Mae and Osha talking about being sisters and loving each other only for one to turn on the other, just like Obi and Ani
You have the master wrapping his new padron with a cloak while rescuing her from certain death.
You have Sol using his anger and his fear to nearly kill the master, just like Windu almost did, only to be stopped by a Padawan Osha, like Ani stopped Windu.
I don't care what the haters say.
The showrunners definitely knows her star wars. And like Lucas said.
It's like poetry, it rhymes
She is definitely a Star Wars fan for sure, even though I have my flaws with the show fundamentally with regards to some of the filmmaking practices involved in it I do find that people who say that she has the show runner is not a Star Wars fan is highly illogical.
I Looooove this show too❣️ Fights are off the hook😊 #teamacolyte
@@OrionInSpace yeah, the show has pacing, dialogue, and story structure issues.
But the story, character, music and fights are all very much star wars.
And honestly, the story is really good.
I just think it's needs to be re-edited slightly
@@shortstuff780 I couldn’t agree more with all those thoughts someone this morning I saw commented on a post saying that this like the Obi-Wan show should have been a two hour or so movie. Some of the dialogue is also a little too on the surface for my liking as well and I also just hate how short the episodes are.
It's not perfect but i think its a good addition to star wars so far. This fight will be used in clips for many years to come and any battle from here on out will be compared to this one.
There’s one other thing that really made me look down on Master Sol by the end of the episode. He doesn’t even bother to try and recover the fallen Jedis bodies but instead just leaves them for some creatures to come along and eat there bodies. When each body should have been brought back to the temple to be laid to rest. Or at lease be taken into a high orbit near a Star to burn.
Dude there’s a literal Jedi killer, who could literally be a sith on the loose, a guy who slaughtered an entire group of Jedi knights. Sol also needs to protect osha and report back to the council. Of course leaving to Coruscant should be his immediate action. They’ll come back to retrieve the bodies.
How would he do that? Lmao he’s going to drag allllll these bodies out of the forest while their target (as far as he knows) has escaped, AND an alleged Sith is burning them down. Come the fuck on. The next episode will likely have the starship chase from trailers.
It was sad to see but he probably would have been killed trying. Also sol seems to have some dark secrets alluding to the fact he is not as caring as he lets on.
Would've hurt da writer's Parent Trap twist if Sol found Osha while going thru bodies. His Force senses must b weak if he can't tell it's Mae. He seems strangely satisfied with the weird answer of fake Osha when he asks about what happened 2 Mae despite a big reason all those Jedi went 2 that planet was in hopes of finding Mae. Mae should've cut her hair with her knives so that she wouldn't have da smell of burnt hair. If Sol knows it's Mae & is playing along then he's leaving Osha in a very vulnerable state. Mae is 4 sure knowingly abandoning her sister. Last episode Mae wanted 2 surrender 2 Jedi saying they wouldn't arrest her 'cuz she would tell them everything she knows. I guess 'cuz they tried 2 arrest her she' flip-flopped to being "bad" again despite not trying 2 them everything she knows while being hopefully in only temporary custody?
@@willfilmon182 I took his facial expression when talking to Mae to seem he was confused but he didn't dwell on it. Also, Mae tries to flea because she is trying to get away from Qimir who aims to kill her for betraying him. It makes sense for her to believe that Qimir would successfully kill the remaining Jedi, leaving just her and him alone in the forest, meaning no reason to surrender.
Just thinking out loud: is Qimar the original Knight of Ren? We did hear Kylo Ren's theme towards the end of the episode.
I actually really like that idea. Qimir does look similar to Ren from the comics, without all the burns, scars, and with a different mask.
I like that idea too. We never get deep into how the Knights of Ren were created during the sequel triology
Would be a cool idea. Maybe Qimir broke away from the Sith and became the first Ren.
@@dbks_ He never confirmed he was a Sith, so could be true.
Knights of Ren were never officially part of the Sith cult.
That would be a pretty cool reveal if they go that direction.
His helmet and voice for sure sounds similar to Kylo Ren.
@@andrewcause25 yes indeed.
Sith said " nah disney im making sure my sabers kill these jedi! 3 times the charm" xD
First thank you for the video guys as always fun to watch :D , I loved the fights in this episode, for me that was how i expected the Jedis reaction to Sith for the first time.
Think what the Acolyte is trying to establish with Qimir & the Coven. Is how the Jedi in this era have or are trying to control/suppress any open interpretations of the force or different practices of it in order to maintain the public image they’ve created. Because to common ppl, a force user or someone connected to the will of the force are basically the same as Jedi in their eyes.
Agreed. However I also like the fact that the way both Qimir and the witches wield the Force (the witches being able to mind control ppl, etc) clearly put them in the “dark category”, which adds to the grey focus of the show as we question is it right for Jedi to police these seemingly “dark” force groups? Does that count as oppression?
Lightsaber battles were amazing!
Cortosis metal, from "Thrawn Alliances."
OMG LOL YOU GUYS ARE SICK:
*YORDS SNAPPED NECK*
YOU GUYS: YEAH!!!! xDDD
Other then the lightsaber battles being better the the sequel trilogy and nearly as good as the prequels duels. Is that we get for the first time in live action the use of cortosis being used in battle against a lightsaber causing them to short out for 5-10 seconds.
I'd argue it's on par. The more iconic prequels duels are still better, but I actually enjoyed this more than the final lightsaber duel(s) of Star Wars II
Cortosis in action makes it all worth it!
on purely choreography terms, this fight is way better than the prequels
@ilo2224 I wouldn't say all the prequel duels... but it is better than some. It easily beats attack of the clones, as well as early Clone Wars fights. I still can't call it better than anakin vs Obi-Wan purely because that was enhanced with so many other factors
Prequel's fighting choreography was ass. Too much unless movements
A SITH WITHOUT A NAME WOULD BE AN ACOLYTE!
I’m so frustrated that Jecki and Yord died, but holy crap this episode was SO well done. I wasn’t expecting them to die before Sol ngl. And Jecki and Yord are extremely more interesting characters than Osha and Mae, so I’m hoping that the show stays strong with its characters. I know we have more backstory and also more characters who haven’t come into play yet from the trailers, so if episode 5 was this good I hope it keeps this energy going.
I really hope Sol can carry the remaining three episodes on his own. Hey but now we got Qimir too - Manny portrayed him really well.
@@dbks_ yeah Sol is objectively a great character. And Qimir really has impressed me from his puny little merchant form to now this presence he has as the “sith.”
We are actually going to have some flashbacks in next episodes, and I think something more happened to witches. Maybe Sol helped them die faster in fire xD
@@dbks_ Da powar of 1, da powar of 2, Daa powar of Manny Jacinto
Did you notice all the burn scars on Qimir's arms? Fire? More there? Also, what was the wound he healed on Osha? Did Mae stab her and leave her for dead?
It looked like a healed saber stab, but I can't tell
@@kevinreinhardt7216 she hasnt been touched by a saber the whole series though. Though, I do have zero idea what it is
@6-dpegasus425 thank you. I didn't think it was a saber, but I couldn't tell. I watched it a third time and maybe I need glasses because now it doesn't look like it haha!
Reminds me of the burn scars on “the Ren” in the comics. They both have scarred arms and wear masks. Hmm.
I believe its from hitting the giant rock. You can hear a thud in the background after Osha gets pushed and would be a more believable reason why she is knocked out instead of that small fall.
Some could say Master Sol is the…..Sol survivor
I would love to see Qimir returning to his master, Tenebrous at the end of episode 8. Or even Tenebrous having Qimir and Plageous kneeling to him, or killing off Qimir to see Plageous as his official apprentice.
Would be kinda cool but im pretty sure he is the Original Ren and not an Sith
I’m pretty sure plageous wasn’t alive then
@@CT-mz8ob thats right. Plageous was about 100 when he was killed and this is 132 BBY?
@@bgreener No i'm pretty sure Plageous would be very alive at this time period.
Darth Plagueis is a Muun. The Muun species can live longer than 100 standard years. The Muun AVERAGE is 100+
What if Qimir's master is only revealed in the final episode, and is revealed when Qimir or someone else (Sol? Mae? Osha?) returns to them and is easily dispatched. Cementing just how much more powerful the master is vs. Qimir and the other Jedi.
The cliffhanger twist reveal. Yeah that sucks. Very likely too.
Sol likes to keep secrets so even if he survives, who knows what he'll say.
They have been setting sol up as a very sneaky self serving person from the start. Yord was there to show the contrast as he was strictly by the book. Jacki was the sensible middle ground. With just sol left no telling what will happen.
Not Bes'kar Jordan, Cortosis, Bes'kar BLOCKS Lightsaber Blades, not defuses them, it's in Legends, Cortosis defuses Lightsaber blades and sorts out the Lightsaber for a few seconds.
I feel like they're gonna run back to Vernestra, she forbids them to say anything, they will try to take down the Sith together and die.
Also, i heard an interesting point somewhere, what if Mundi was talking about the Sith race in Phantom Menace?
The sith race was only ever EU content, I don't believe George even knew about them let alone had plans to use them
@@thejuansnow Ah, okay, thanks for the clarification :)
@@Vyngr4nn I was wrong!! They brought the sith race into canon in 2017!! So it very well could be the race they're referring to!
@@thejuansnowWow really? I never knew that! Sith pure bloods are canon again. Hooray!
@@dbks_ right?? I'm kinda really excited by that
bro is a menace
OSHA: you’re the violent one.
Mae: they turned you against me!
OSHA should have said: what were the last words you said to me? ‘I’ll kill you?’
Also…”they turned you against me”…and proceeded to knock out her sister, leave her possibly mortally injured, take her identity and leave her for dead. Ladies and gentlemen, this is what you call being a sociopathic psychopath.
Woop good talks & nice Beautiful The Acolyte S01 so far 🙂 Always when stream via D+ i use "65 Led Telly & 5.1. wireless headphones. Ginger Tea & couple warm sammies ready for slow drink & munching after click play button 🍵🥪
So i think the helmet more stops sol from seeing his eyes and his face to read his emotions
Yes this and the mask creates mystery/intimidation which gives him an edge in the mental force battle
is cortosis
Such a good show, keep em coming, stop talking SW fatigue i want all they can give
I'm glad I'm not the only person to cheer for Yord's death 😂
just reacted!!! bro best duel since sith!
Can not wait to see Kelnacca with black eyes under witch control fighting Torbin and Sol in a flashback in episode 7 (IMDb)!❤ Greetings from Germany💕 PS: Osha has the tattoo on the arm and Mae not. Maybe Sol will see her arm, if she hides her tattoo on the head.
In New Hope Vader kept sensing Kenobi on da Death Star. In RotJ Luke surrenders to Vader 'cuz he is afraid Vader will sense him jeopardizing what's supposed 2 b a secret mission. Dunno y Sol can't sense Mae unless he's playing along but wouldn't also understand aspects of these Force senses as well?
Helmet and Bracer made out of Cortosis, and anti lightsaber material that can block and short out lightsabers first seen in dark Horse Star Wars Comics back in the day 90's?
I found this episode a thrill ride!
The actress who played Jeckie was the same actress who played Laura in the movie Logan. She's really a bad ass.
Nerds goes crazys over swords fights. 🤣
It’s kinda wild that two shows (this and HotD) did a twin swap in the same week!
The theory I like most is Qimir is the beginning of the knights of Ren. I feel like they’re setting up more splinter factions of force users. Baylan/Shin were also not Jedi or Sith and if they came from some kind of faction that could have been started by Qimir could lead to a Knights of Ren movie Filoni said he wants to make.
Look at the helmet again...he is a Knight of Ren. Maybe even the Canons version of the first Ren. They play Kylo Rens theme twice during his scenes.
*GET TOSSED, YORD!*
In the books Yoda learns about the rule of 2 from a wayward sith acolyte. Perhaps Qimir is this character.
I just started watching the Acolyte yesterday and is no where near as bad as what people are saying. I won't fully judge the show until after the final episode but so far I'm enjoying it more than the Kenobi show. All that matters to me is the story, characters and settings and so far I am fine with how the show is going on all fronts with only some of the dialogue being a bit cringe for me. The fight scenes in episode 5 were legit some of the best choreographed lightsaber fights in the entire franchise.
I think at this point every major character that survived today will make it to episode 8. Episode 8 should also have a lot of death. I make no predictions for who.
@The716thLegion on episode 3 there’s a theory during the ceremony behind the mother witches is a mysterious sith figure in black robes not showing his face and by himself it could be plagues or his master or smilo ren
The Yord Horde lost today.
He Could be a force user on the planet where the witches were and found a Sith holocron and that’s the base of his study. He could be who the 4 Jedi were looking for on that planet.
makes no sense for them to swap. One has a massive swirl on her forehead and the other one has a tattoo. Smilo isn't a Sith he is an acolyte similar to Asaj Ventress.
she was covering with the hair tbf.
Qimir as an origin of Ren/Knights of Ren ???
I think the simplest answer to the Tenebrous / Plagueis thing is just to shorten the timeframe of all of their reigns. So, like, have Tenebrous be the Sith who came after the ones we see here.
we also see Sol alone on the ship back in the trailer while watching what I assume is Mae take off from a shuttle while he watches in surprise.
You guys are awesome. Just got a subscriber.
I actually appreciate all of the differing fight choreography. Not all Jedi defend the same, and I'm betting that fighting styles emerge over the many, many years through *many* Masters. Of COURSE, Ahsoka wasn't going to fight like these in 'The Acolyte', as she IS older and 100 years in the future. None of this bothers me...except the offing of Jecki. That was damn....damn.
lol this a star wars game of thrones episode where ur fav character dies.
Fun reaction, but who was in charge of the microphone levels? 😀
Cortosis helmet and bracer.
I saw a light sabre and I clapped
Who the fuck likes store Yord 😭 he’s the typical Jedi like the whole council in the prequels
The episode lengths are a problem, and the series lengths are a problem. Bring back 1990-2000s 20-25 episode seasons. I'd rather the production be slightly worse and have 20+ episodes than stellar production but only 8. The stories dont get enough time to flourish
further proof that moths love lamp
Not gonna lie, evil Qimir can get it....RESPECTFULLY
Btw the way you kill a jedi without a weapon by using the force
Mandalorine ,Ashoka ,Andor,Bad Batch very good this was not until now.
There are more of us
This is them 😮 ✊
Jack & Julien give me Abed and Troy vibes.
Love those guys.
Combat in Ashoka was good Get a clue Ashoka ,Morgan Elsbeth ???
Ok the action this episode was...good. but damn why the cut away SO ..MANY...TIMES.
Also, this dialogue man. The soapiest of Soap Operas man. 😂
Man i loved Yord
I dipped out on their reaction to this when the guy to the far left wanted to write throughout the entire fight scene of Daphne and the Sith. Whatever it is that you’re writing during important sequences of the film or show you’re supposed to be reacting to, is not important at the time of the reaction.
Duece’s…
So, long story short.
The Acolyte
Plot? Mediocre.
Character development? Meh!
Choreography? Outstanding.
Thumbs up, but wear head mics next time
Crackpot theory: theyre gonna flip the tradition Qimir is Sols bastard son. Jedi is the sith father XD
Or he could have been referring to the Sith species and not the off shoot cult that we know perhaps due to the Jedi thinking they were just fan boys of the real Sith and no true threat or some shit.
Does jecki species have three hearts ?
Sol = Sith
It's a joke name. Like a barber named Harry. I'm pulling for tenebrous and a secret Scooby Doo Bith reveal
First time comment, but guys, this is NOT Ezra Miller lol.. actor is Manny Jacinto.
We understand it’s not him. He just bears an extreme resemblance so it’s a joke.
I understand why people are hating on it but come on this was fire i loved how these shots were filmed that one scene where j had mai in custody and you could hear the trees moaning and cracking just to have smile appear like that was cool af these scenes are heavily inspired by anime
fight scenes were dope but the writing of this show is still abysmal
Best Episode because rest were crap 😂😂😂
Tbh I hated yord I was super happy also🤣
The folly of this channel is trying to make fan fiction the “be all” path. Preloaded assumptions have the potential to allow you to ruin all Star Wars going forward for you. I’ll leave you with this so some of you know how you’ve failed the cave trial:
Luke: what’s in there?
Yoda: only what you take with you.
14:48 Why did you say "YES!" Did you hate Yord or something
RIP Yord
cortosis not beskar
I think that nobody knows what the hell is going on in this show and i wish it made sense. Theres a point where I can't tell if its poorly written or trying and failing to be clever.
