Sorry had to re-upload due to copyright issues! did you enjoy episode 6?
It was ok
I enjoyed it but then it ended too soon... Too much of these short episodes. That's my biggest problem.
No, I didn't. The story is terrible, this is not Star Wars at all.
Star wars is about people learning to connect with their balance and place in the world. Im not a fan of the interviews, and trash opions some of the cast said. But this is still definately star wars. And honestly, greatest lightsaber fighting since the prequels @Illthallion
@@Illthallionplease write us a Star Wars script in your vision that will entertain all of us.
My best guess is that Qimir was indeed a Jedi padawan, most likely Valnestra's although not necessarily, but her light whip is probably what caused his scars. He was very powerful in the force, but, either on his own, or goaded on by a dark side user or even Sith (who was hiding in plain site, like Palpatine), was tempted by and eventually fell to the dark side, and was kicked out of the Jedi order and banished, after doing something terrible that resulted in the scars that we see, most likely caused by Valnestra.
And, because it was believed that the Sith were extinct and no existing dark side users were a match for the Jedi, he was allowed to go free. Upon which he was recruited by a Sith master and made their apprentice, which he may still be, or not, but where he learned his dark side skills, which can't be learned on one's own or from witches. Chances are that he and his master were on Brandok when the events of E3 took place, and they were the mysterious hooded figures in the back in the induction ceremony, and were there to monitor and recruit the twins.
And, when they saw that the Jedi were about to take one of them away, they and the witches attacked the Jedi, who were forced to defend themselves and ended up killing nearly everyone there. The Sith escaped, probably separately with Qimir taking Mae, who didn't know about his master, while the Jedi escaped with Osha. Qimir then spent the next whatever years training Mae, and Sol and the Jedi trained Osha, but not for the past 6 or so years.
The real question is who Qimir's master is or was, if they're still alive, and if Qimir is still a Sith, or was himself cast out of the Sith order for being reckless or trying to murder his master. Probably his master is either Tenebrous or Plagueis, he didn't succeed in killing him, assuming that he tried, and has been trying to form his own Sith order, which ends up being the Knights of Ren, sort of the dark side version of a Mafia crew of unmade men hoping to someday become made men and perhaps even the Don.
An alternate take is that Qimir is himself Plageuis, but he's not a Muun, so unless he's also a shape shifter or they decided to change that, it's not likely. So I'm going with either current or former Sith apprentice, trying to form his own Sith order, with first Mae, and now Osha (he hopes) as his apprentice or acolyte, which ends up being the Knights of Ren. I don't think that Osha will fall to the dark side, though. She'll clearly be tempted, but like Ezra, Luke and others, she'll resist. What will happen to her and Mae, I have no idea, but if there are to be future seasons, they'll almost certainly be a part of it, or else this story basically ends here.
Qimir has already become the most fascinating SW character (for me at least) in a long time because he's not a demonic-looking, glowing-eyed Sith stereotype. He may have good reasons for going down his path, and I can't wait to see how his story unfolds.
Amazing to find another SW channel that's not a fire-hose of negativity. Getting to a channel like this on youtube is like stepping over dog-turds on my way to the shop in the morning (my local area sucks lol.) Keep up the great content lad. This is the good stuff.
True!
A fire-hose of negativity is a great way to describe all the hate towards this show and the Disney Star Wars era in general. I’m enjoying the Acolyte and really enjoyed this episode. I have a couple theory videos about Qimir on my own channel
Maybe of the show wasn’t a turd…….There wouldn’t be such a response.
It’s god awful
@@mhollman8650 It's a good show. The story is mysterious and intriguing, the action is very well choreographed, and Qimir is a great villain (with a cool character design). I don't see what anyone dislikes about this show; it's genuinely good.
It’s so hard nowadays
I like the show putting into question that jedi are not perfect infallible can be corrupt good is not absolute neither is evil. The force I favored sith to bring balance to the corruption of the Jedi with its close ties to government. Likewise the force favored the Jedi against the imperialism. Maybe the path of the force is a neutral path. Glad the show is showing a broader perspective of the sith beyond just absolute evil.
Excellent excellent excellent. Always look forward to your breakdowns and analysis- none of the silly or fanciful theory stuff that other channels churn out. Good cineliterate readings of each episode- something sorely lacking elsewhere.
Look up Imri Cantaros...he was Vernestra's Padawan who everyone thought died at Starlight Beacon. He was eventually rescued, but he went rogue on more than one occasion and gave into the Dark Side to win fights. He was from Genetia, and had very strong force empathy. If Imir is Qimir, that helmet would be how he controls random emotions from affecting him...letting him be alone with the force. Just an idea.
I would really like it if Plagueis is in the show and he’s a Muun, just like in the lore. I think it would be a big mistake if they made Qimir Plagueis.
Possibly either apprentice to Tenebrous (sp?) before Plagueis or to Plagueis before Palpatine. Or neither, just a Dark Jedi with no formal connection to the Sith. Bearing in mind that he didn’t say he was a Sith, just that the Jedi might call him one. Possibly commenting on how the Jedi think anyone who accesses the force differently to how they do is evil.
The shows way ruined already. Let it crash. 'kill it..if you have too'-kylo ren
I'd much rather look at Qimir, than a muun. Just saying. His human form is much more compelling. It personally also doesn't bother me if they retcon that bit of legends. Don't get me wrong....I totally understand the attachment to legends, but most people just aren't into it.
I like the episode I like the series I don’t get all the hate and the toxic fans
Fr like it isn’t even terrible js everyone is hating for no reason
It's because Star Wars is such an icon that most things will never reach the expectations that certain people have.
I get the hate to some degree from the early episodes, but for me it's gotten better. Qimir has turned out to be a really complex but interesting antagonist... But it feels like some 'fans' have just decided they hate it now, and rather than watching it they're just looking to pick it apart - which I think is a shame. It's by no means flawless, but I'm still hopeful for a strong finish.
I agree I think the reason people hate on the show so much is bc they see all the negative views that are being put out there and aren’t even willing to watch it all the way through and judge it themselves they just let in all the negative and toxic opinions and just refuse to see it any other way I have coworkers like that and we’re always debating about the show bc he hears about all the bad stuff but doesn’t actually watch the show he stopped after the first 2 episodes and Ive been try to convince him to give it a shot once all the episodes are released to just watch it all the way through and then judge it himself without all the bias from the haters
It’s stuff like naked people in Star Wars. That should never have become something that exists.
Very good insight and analysis.. I myself was a strong critic of the sequels especially the last Jedi, what they done to Luke etc but after episode 5 all was forgiven! For me that lightsaber battle was wow! And The Acolyte is starting to intrigue me.. Subbed..
It’s nice to see another positive channel. While I don’t think the Acolyte is that great I don’t hate it either, all the negativity I’ve seen from the bigger channels is quite draining.
Quimear was the parawan of the green headed Jedi with the whip marks on his back is my guess
Quimir... and padawan
@@sethbieber5127lol right? Like what
It’s spelled p-e-d-a-n-t.
Ding Ding
Cringe
Bassell will be revealed to be the sith lord
FACTS!!!!
He’s 100% got a sith streak running through his soul
Only losers care
and while Plagueis chose Palpy as apprentice. Bassell chose Jar Jar.
Excellent
It could still be Ach-to. Remember, the planet was "lost" until Luke found it again with Palpatine's Compass.
I'm also suspecting Qimir was Vernestra's padawan before she discarded him to train Sol.
I personally don't see Qimir as Darth Plagueis, I see him as Darth Venamis potentially, but he doesn't really act the way the sith do during this time because hes not being very secretive and wants to use his power more openly, and I think this validates the theory of Qimir starting the Knights of Ren
I sense that padawan Mog is working for the dark side from inside Venestra’s office . He was too quick to throw Sol under the bus. loving the intrigue of the series, only crit is episodes too short, but only because want to see more
He’s venomous, in hindsight him making a poison was a hint perhaps
Did Venamis outlive Tenebrous. Or did Plagueis discover him and kill him in a duel? Or Obscure death?
Ah good point!
@@AmongRevenants Yeah in the book Plaguieus kills Venamis after he's already killed Tenebrous. Well, technically he doesn't kill him for quite a while, he poisons him and keeps him in a state near death so he can learn how the midichlorians behave at the point of dying so he can learn how to manipulate them for immortality.
Vernestra says, “ they were all killed by lightsaber. What does that tell you?” Which means she suspects Sol.
Valnestra was qimir’s master. The scar looks like a whip
No one cares that Plaguies is a Muun?
He may still not be plagueis, I do think he’s got another master *possibly Tenebrous but unlikely to be the version we know
In legends he was…
I never liked Plagueis being a muun to be honest.
I don’t think he has to be a Mun but he must have the same characteristics and knowledge of the force as the book
@@JustStarWars In canon it's confirmed he's a Muun.
The signal issues buddy had supports your theory of being far away. I support the plagious theory
My theory on this is that Plagueis and or Tenebrous will get involved and they will kill Qimir. I don't like the idea that Qimir actually is a sith, because he doesn't seem to self identify as one. He does use the sith code, but he could be a fanboy, which I think is an interesting idea.
We could also look at J3DI from Star Wars hunters. He is just a droid but he thinks he is a Jedi. This could be a similar situation with Qimir, but Qimir is just more self aware.
I really hope this is not Darth Plaguies - he has to be a Mu'un.
I once thought that too, however after a lot of research I’ve come to realise that Plagueis being a Muun never actually made it over to canon once Disney took over in 2012… he is mentioned as one in a visual guide in 2016, however that guide incorporates both canon and legends so still not actually the case
@@JustStarWars Yes, it is true. It's feels like a commercial decision by Disney. It's not about the story but about what will sell better for the next 5-10 years. Perhaps they want to leave the door open to a human female for a Sith Lord as a tick box exercise. Either way, not going with an excellent, very widely respected (albeit Legends) novel is going to be very disappointing. I appreciate Disney executives want to make money, industry have people who need to pay the bills... but if they go in this direction, I am not renewing my Disney+. Sorry, I feel strongly about this and rather put my attention elsewhere .
@@JustStarWarshe’s palageous or either the apprentice of palgeous , fallen , or still attached , based on the timeline Palpy is what age ? … this might be the apprentice and he faces offf against palgeous I think and obviously fallls because palgeous needs to be alive to train palpyyy … imagine qimir uses osha to fight palageous and palageous slaughters him and the jedi and take the diad for himself - that way canon isn’t broken and not one jedi is left to inform Ki
Intelligent and genuine commentary. one of the best breakdowns out there....
If you really think about it Manny Jancinto played Two Seperate characters better than the actual twins in this show Qimir went from clumsy bubbling idiot to a more calm stoic character Amandla Stenberg Twin character there no true distinction between them
I mean...this series hasn't been scared to completely (pathetically) reinvent what Star Wars even is.
But, this guy isn't even close to the same species as Plagueis.
I think Quimir is Plaguis and he is using sith alchemy to make himself look younger and possibly his master gave him the scar
We should have at least gotten a flashback from Sol and Quin
plagueis was not a human.
In legends he wasn’t
Neither are you - sub human
Sith chemistry. The emperor hide his visage. And Plagueis was his master.
True
Palps figure changes after fighting with Windu. Could be a Sith trick to conceal his appearance
This show doesn’t need a breakdown. It needs a strong, long flush.
Now this episode make sense
Awesome episode so far!
Oh, look, it's Smilo-Ren
I think Qimir is possibly Darth Venomous and a either a member or creator of The Knights Of Ren.
Dude? Whip marks? That’s from electrical influence … it’s but a google search away from how lightning works.
I'm kinda skeptical about how it looks also but then again remember Anakins scar from ventress doesn't look like what you'd expect so maybe it is just that
He has been experimented on kept alive over a long time!
Darth Venamis was a prospective Sith Lord of the lineage of Darth Bane.
Tenebrous trained Venamis in violation of the Rule of Two, since he had another apprentice, Darth Plagueis. Despite Venamis's use of the Sith title, Darth, it was not legitimately bestowed upon him.
After Tenebrous died on Bal'demnic at the hands of Plagueis in 67 BBY, the latter discovered that Venamis kept a list of certain Force-sensitive beings as potential apprentices of his own
4D kept the comatose Venamis alive to manipulate and study. Around the year 42 BBY, Venamis was eventually allowed to die by Plagueis, his usefulness finally fulfilled. Afterwards, he was resurrected and killed again and again in the presence of 11-4D, as well as Plagueis's apprentice, Darth Sidious, until Venamis' organs finally ceased to function and Plagueis finally allowed the him to die for the final time.
Loving the Acolyte. Some of the best Star Wars since ESB imo. We are finally getting to see Dark Side training in live action!
I have a theory that Osha will end up being Plagueis by the end. I love this idea. Even if no one is Plagueis and everyone winds up as just new characters I’m fine with it.
I never get mad at Star Wars. I’ve always watched it as if it’s history and that’s just what happened a long time ago in A galaxy far, far away. MTFBWY….always
That whip scar is from you guessed it
They’re going to accuse Sol of murdering all the Jedi. That’s how they explain they haven’t seen the Sith.
This is a thoughtful and intelligent series.
Palps is in this episode. He is the one that tells Vestra about the team being lost.
His backstory 🤭🫢
Qimir isn't plagueis. I really doubt that. Maybe an apprentice of him or of Tenebrous.
Episode was ok albeit slow moving. A few cool things happened though.
Qimir is absolutely NOT Plagueis. He may, however, be Plagueis’ apprentice.
Wouldn't be the first time Disney changed a species, but no in the plauies novel we learn his master trained another because he didn't see him strong enough. I'll believe he might be that lineage who l up plagueis eventually kills
But can a Dianoga survive a dumpster fire?!
Is this the planet where Rey found the downed Star Destroyer?
Very unlikely, seems to be Bel’demnic which is a planet predominantly in legends, it’s where Darth Plagueis slayed Darth Tenebrous 🤔
Can he force project a mask?
Cant be Plagieus. Hope they reveal Plagiues or Tenebrous as Qimirs master.
my bet is Darth Venamis
I think he starts the knights of Ren
How wld smileo Ren be Plageius ? last we seen?(And..We seen ALOT!) He was Human as Human can be . And?? Not a Munn 😔
A lot of people are thinking Qimir will end up being Darth Plagueis but I don't see how without breaking more canon. See, everyone knows about Darth Plagueis the Wise and all but few know about Hego Damask, the Muun magistrate of the Intergalactic Banking Guild, Plagueis' alter ego. See, among other things, it was Plagueis' money and power that helped him get what he needed and since the Intergalactic Banking Guild was founded and run by the Muun race, they would have to also retcon all of that as well too to make a human Plagueis. Him being a Knight of Ren or THE Knight of Ren makes a bit more sense but I don't think it's that either. I'm hoping he is honestly just someone we haven't heard about before. Maybe Plagueis or even Tenebrous will come into play before the end but making Qimir one of them would just be horrible.
Thank you. Common sense talked by someone with a good understanding of the lore!
someone older than plagus
Qimir is not Darth Plageuis. Plageuis is an alien humanoid MUUN and he was trained by Darth Tenebrous a Bith . The dates and timescales are all messed up as we should of been seeing these two dark lords not this Qimir dude.
Nearly everything we know about Tenebrous & Plagueis is now legends, including dates! Also if the unknown planet is Bal’demnic then the Sith wouldn’t have discovered the Cortosis there for another 65 years 🤔
@@JustStarWars Regardless this is what fans would be expecting to see, as Darth Sidious even mentions his former master in revenge of the sith, so for him to be excluded would be stupid. He trained Sidious to be who he was and we also need to know who was plagueis master which was Tenebrous. if we are talking dates, they messed with Ki-Adi Mundi dates completely and changed it!!!
I think Qimir was cast out by the Jedi and found by darth Tenebrous and trained as his apprentice just to be cast out or used as cannon fodder in the grand plan (his actions will be blamed as the work of a rouge Jedi and the order takes a hit)
But here have a 3 am rant because I'm stoned and bored...
Unless something gets rewritten we can go with legends material to fill gaps
Tenebrous died in like 67 BBY idr the exact date but he should still be alive and the master at this point unless they change it
Plagueis was born between 147 and 120 BBY So hes alive in the story RN probably not the master yet his birth was also the result of a scheme by Darth Tenebrous to create a more powerful force user this same scheme would later be recreated by Plagueis and Palpatine to create the chosen one. Currently I think the witches have also done whatever the sith have been doing to create a dyad in the force thats why the Jedi where there in the first place I'm pretty sure if they heard a rumor that a coven of force witches are trying to make super force babies out of thin air that should be looked into and raised not to like fire
I honestly dont get where the hates coming from besides things in the story that were suppose to be a surprise being obvious af I dont see a issue so far 10/10 on my cool bad guy list thay need to let him be his own character and not try to make him Plagueis or Tenebrous that would only ruin both characters
Worse case scenario, they are remaking all of star wars in their own image, and the star wars we knew (episode 1-6) is no longer canon
He's sols son
I loved ep1 and 2. Also love the witches and the crazy singing. The ewoks sang too while cooking people lol. Let's see where this leads... Thx
So glad I never made it past the first episode. 🤮
I don’t really mind the social issues explored in the show, but the writing is bad.
I think honestly in my heart of hearts that your theory is the actual truth.Ive jumped on every idiotic theory I've seen on CZcams & Reddit over the last week, loyally defending your theory: it just makes too much sense, it totally would stick to alot of the SW cannon, with some minor alterations( like the planet that starts with the "B" that I can't think of,where the atmosphere was uninhabitable).Keep up the stunning work my friend 👊✊
You give the writers too much credit
I just figured it out it was Darth Smiley that killed the Covenant
You sound so cringe
Any of these Star Wars pages try and push the Tenebrous-Plaguies connection are just being lazy. You guys are just speculating and saying what FB groups are saying. Neither of those Dark Lords had human apprentices. Qimir is a Knight of Ren. They aren't Sith. Stop this clickbait nonsense.
I’m happy give me more Star Wars bring on Darth Bane
That's the spirit!
Viewing this garbage just to ridicule it is ensuring that it will not improve.
I’m sorry, but this show is garbage
so terrible show... case study on how to destroy a billion dollar franchise
Naked SITH asking a non-binary Jedi wannabe to join in some skinny dippy... that is the future of Disney SW....
