      I gasped at Jakie's death. That was nuts. N Yord got Steven Segalled n tossed aside. But man Jackie held her own using Jarr Kai. I want to know how quimir disabled their lightsabers like that. The next few eps are gonna be nuts.
      1. Mae is gonna be with the jedi so she will learn things that will probably get her to turn to the light.
      2. With Ohsa now with Quimir he could be training her to be his next acolyte. Which I'm thinking is to take out the true sith lord so he can as he say "be free to use his power" cuz even in the sith free from the rules of the jedi he needed to remind hidden. N he doesn't want to do that. I'm thinking he was training one of the twins to help him take the sith lord out. N he will do so by unlocking memories of her past n showing her why Sol couldn't be trusted. N it could push her over the edge to join. Quimir.
      I'm excited for the next ep. How will high council react to the deaths of these jedi n the sudden emergence of the sith. Will they sweep it under the rug or what? Cuz in ep 1 they still believe the sith to be extinct. It wasn't till master Qui gon Jinn's encounter with Darth maul on tattoonie that the high council starts to slowly investigate Qui gons claims. N only after his death n Master Yaddle's death did they start to make their moves

      Likewise, if you have someone in a rear naked choke and you suddenly drop to the ground, that’s a broke ass neck and, possibly a crushed windpipe.

      His helmet and gauntlets are Cortius weaves. I'm so happy that they brought this to live action and I hope they keep bringing stuff like this because one of the main criticisms that have always existed with Star Wars fights since the very first movie is that due to the extremely validity and 360° cutting edge of the lightsaber, you lose a lot of Dynamics that exist in Ariel's sword fighting such as the ability to avoid a downwards drive from your opponent step on his sword so he can't move it and then kill him while he's exposed. Because they added that sort of countermeasures as well as some of the clever choreography. This has been the most dynamic lightsaber fight since the duel of the Fates, and I really hope whoever designed these fights get to work on every future Star Wars fight with even more prep time and a higher budget.

    I feel like this line is so crucial to indicate how far the Jedi are slipping, because Jecki was in her late teens at this point, and a hundred years later, the Jedi are sending 12-14 year old Padawans to the frontlines of war, fighting alongside 10-year-old mass produced soldiers.

    For those who dont know, the Siths armor is made out of cortosis. Cortosis has the properties of shutting down lightsabers and absorbing blaster bolts.

    Have to disagree with Bendu here. Qimir is pure evil, he's not similar to the witches at all. The witches r like "we're a religious community that's not fully ok, but neither r u tbh, let us exist". Qimir (and the sith in general) is like "I'm gonna blow up this hospital full of babies because I'm free and I can". He is however very good at making himself seem similar to the witches, which he does on purpose.

    Qimir or whatever his actual name is said that a Jedi might call him Sith, but he might not actually be trained by someone of the line going back to Bane.

      One of the things that I love that they're keeping up is that essentially not only because of their core methodologies. But after the sith Empire fell during the Old Republic that because they've had to slim down with the rule of two and in the minority they've now basically adapted ninja techniques. You really see that in this episode with arsith character. It's just nothing but deception all the way down. Is also interesting and hilarious because the Jedi also have similar tactics such as Yoda and Luke Skywalker and some degree Obi-Wan Kenobi. Being portrayed as feble and weak when in reality there's some of the most scariest powerful forces imaginable.

    The Bracer and the Helmet are TOTALLY Kortosis. Also, I don't think either Mae or Osha have the Full story... Here is my Take on what happened... The Jedi came to get Osha, and Mother Koril saw it as an Invasion. She then Mind controlled Kelnaaca and Mother Anasaya tried to step in to stop it and got sabered. This is when Mae comes in and sees her "Mother" get cut down by the Jedi. Then it was all out battle leaving everyone dead. Sol & Mae go to get Osha(from different directions). We see Mae fall and Sol rescue Osha and when they get back to the ship there is some kind of mind wipe on Osha to have her not recall what she saw. And she wakes up on the ship some time later, after Korbin's wound is healed.

      I think he is a rogue Sith apprentice. In the rule of two the only way to become the Master is to kill your Master, and if they can’t or won’t the Master replaces them with a new apprentice. If the Apprentice can’t defeat their Master in a straight up fight, their options are killing them through some other means (poison, bombs, schemes, etc.), recruiting a secret apprentice and taking them out via 2 on 1, or running and going into hiding. Qimir might be doing a combination of options 2 and 3.

His clothes are very reminiscent of Ventress' clothes when we meet her. And he says " I have no name". We know how important a Sith getting his name is. Mae has been a red herring the whole time.

    Sol is pretty much in shock and has too much trauma and guilt to tell the Jedi about Qimir. It’s why he is likely taking “Osha” to Brendock to come clean without even making a report. Sol is also too traumatized and unstable that he pretty much didn’t use the Force to know Mae is “Osha.”
    Plus, the wording Qimir made is kind of overlooked. He said to Sol that “you would call me a Sith.” He did not say “I am a Sith.” It’s like a racist saying that other people would call him a Nazi (ex. The Boys show’s revelation in Season 2) but he is not saying the Nazis are back.
    Qimir’s final plan is obvious. He is going to break Sol’s spirit by making Osha his new acolyte and kill Sol. Qimir is likely a retconned version of Darth Venamis (Venom -> Qimir makes a poison in episode 2). I pretty much advise to be skeptical until watching the Season Finale to make an authentic critique for the show.
    Who know? The show might end with Plagueis killing Qimir and taking Osha to experiment on her for his studies on Midichlorians. Acolyte is a horror mystery story so I expect a horrifying ending and Plagueis making Osha a lab rat is the most terrifying way to end it.
    What Plagueis did to test subjects like Venamis:
    “Traveling to Sojourn-a moon owned by Plagueis and maintained as a personal retreat-Venamis was bested in a duel and forced to ingest a coma-bloom, a poisonous species of flora, putting him into a coma. As part of his experiments with midi-chlorians over the following decades, Plagueis and his droid 11-4D 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 Bith to die for the final time.”
