Important bazil detail: he was also there to hear Sol's confession and after seeing him turn on the targeting computer I think he realized that the jedi he is working for might not be the good guy in this situation

[@simondyda]

Darth Venomous is a bith, and if there's one thing The Acolyte has demonstrated, Lesley is too big a Legends fan to change a character's species. That said, Qimir's Sith story could be derived from the Venomous story, a secret second apprentice of Darth Tenebrous, who should still be alive in 116 BBY. I still like to think that he is the future first Ren. From the angry expression of Darth Plagus, I would lean towards them being rival apprentices. I hope we get the answers in live action and not in a comic.

[@Venatt1]

No, it was Darth Tenebrous who was a bith. My guess is that this is Darth Pleaguis.

[@simondyda]

​@@Venatt1 You misunderstood the context of my reply, which was whether or not Qimir is Darth Venomous. Darth Venomous and Darth Tenebrous are both bith.

[@eds1942]

Leslye had to go through Pablo Hidalgo for what they could or could not use from Legends. Ironically, they dropped the old EU so that the writers would be restricted by it giving them more room for creativity, but now everyone writes like they are afraid to write things because of that. I don’t know why that is a big deal. But have been leaning toward there might be legalities involved or something.

[@eddie6198]

Darth Venomous doesn't exist in Canon though right? So he can be anything, and I feel strongly that Quimir will be "Venomous". Hell, we saw Quimir running an apothecary and mixing up a poison for Mae. That seems a strong hint to me.

[@eds1942]

@@eddie6198 Darth Venamis. The root word ‘Venam’ is Latin for vein, root, blood vessels,..

Thank you Lesley Headland for creating & putting out the Acolyte Show for the public to watch 🔥 #RenewTheAcolyte

[@polyestermammoth740]

Thank you for these recaps this last seven weeks. You have been awesome. I subscribed to the channel weeks ago but I look forward to seeing what you cover next. Your coverage has been fair, balanced but you’ve also found positives where most commentators just pick at the holes. I really appreciate that. Thank you 🙏🏻

[@polyestermammoth740]

When I say ‘what you cover next’, I don’t mean, like, Game of Thrones….it’ll obviously be SW, but I mean in this period where we wait for Skeleton Crew. Stay awesome.

[@JustStarWars]

Thank you 🙏 there’s certainly more to cover in regard to The Acolyte, especially after that episode! Thinking of diving into the Acolyte timeline within legends a bit more whilst also continuing with the making of stuff 😀 also word on the street is we don’t have long to wait at all until the Skeleton Crew trailer releases ☠️

[@MrTheHeadlines]

I’m happy they showed plagueis like really makes me excited for the future of Star Wars

[@luciddreamer4573]

imagine if this series goes for 5 seasons we could get a young palpatine in live action.

[@johnfodo4129]

That would be so epic 🤘🏻

[@deadred80]

Quimir is this canons version of venemous . However I don't believe he is venomous .But I do believe he is a rival apprentice to plageius. Remember he did say that he doesn't have a name .wich leads me to believe that tenebrous is having him earn his Darth title and name .And I don't believe for one second that this has anything to do with the knights of Ren .

[@RAJNOVA784]

It would be great to see Qimir and Osha shipped. Plus more action from Darth Plageis.

[@shamanpj]

Overall I loved the series. Still lots of questions with many possibilities. I feel Plagueis taught Qimir, just not as an apprentice / master role. Qimir was way too powerful to not have been taught. Plus, who told him about cortosis? Curious if Tenebrous is around at this time? Either reality is possible. In the novel, Plagueis discovered Tenebrous was scouting many potential force sensitives, and even anointed another pupil as a Darth (Venamis). Another theory; Venestra covered up whatever happened to with Qimir. She was getting ready to 'spill the beans' to Yoda.

[@ashleymatthews7866]

You messed up it’s not may wearing the helmet in the beginning it’s osha

[@JustStarWars]

Yeah my bad, I knew it was Osha but at times I get the names mixed up 😀

[@kvothethebloodless3361]

I actually liked this show. I found it super cool they showed Plagues sneaking in that cave. I think there’s a lot more story to tell. But if there is another season, I’m staying away from social media. The complaining fans have made this show a really negative experience. A fresh rewatch without the bitching and moaning of complaining ass fans will be a much better experience, for me anyway. Thx for the content and coverage!

[@jamesirons963]

I really think the whole hand holding thing was smilo REN letting osha know that tough times are coming and he’s got her back, in hopes that she’ll have his against plagueis

[@dmburns555]

So Glad I Found You. Love Your Clear And Concise Information And Straight Facts Are Awesome. I Hit That Like And Subscribe Buttons With The Quickness.

[@johnfodo4129]

Plagueis and Yoda Camino we're BA ❤💯🤘🏻

[@deadred80]

So this is how you do season 2 Lesley... Have quimir and venestra square off Show plageius experimenting on venamis Show plagues kill Tenebrous as well Last episode have plagues watching a young shieve palpatine from afar and leave it there . Disney you are committed to a season 2 now wether you like it or not . Because you just made the characters canon . They all need their mention .plus you added a character .

[@Jedi_With_Aesthetic]

How season 2 should go lol Qimir: what is your command my master Plagueis: you have forgotten your place Qimir by taking this girl as your apprentice you have betrayed me now you will kill her or I will destroy you both!!!! Osha: master we can defeat him together Plagueis: do it now Qimir strike her down and prove your loyalty to me!!!

[@Tandy683]

I enjoyed it but might have worked better as a binge watch

[@darththor3982]

a phenomenal ending to a great show. I'm excited for season 2.

[@chawwnayala532]

No season 2. It got canceled

[@infinite_slimez]

Bro said Mae 😂

[@ShrewBarrymore]

I was so wrong about Harewood! But I'm really happy overall with the ending.

[@ralphieboy9596]

Thank once again

[@EgoChip]

How can one consciousness inhabit two bodies simultaneously?

[@eds1942]

They are clones, tied together by way of a Force Dyad. The same spirit ties them together, but with two distinct consciousness’ (not sure if that’s the right word).

[@Cognus1234]

I think he’s Darth Venomous

[@beemackin2316]

Great 1

[@user78405]

palpatine real story begins and real parents ....

[@milodeescorpio3658]

Qimir was the only thing good in this show. IF, and that is a big IF, the show gets renewed, I hope they make a better job with the script. I admit some parts were somewhat enjoyable but they need to double down in the dark side tinge for the episodes.

[@Visqo1]

Very good video

[@dwallert]

Why couldn't Qimir be Palpatine?

[@christianefiorito3204]

He could, but that still spells a dark end to Osha. I think Headley will stick a female in the line of Sith Lords no matter the consequences zo established lore

[@jasonrainey7140]

Overall i enjoyed watching it. yes there were parts of it that probably needed more work, script, acting before it was aired and sadly were not. I hope there is a season 2 but please let it be better quality.

[@GregorySnipe]

Great series!! My favorite Disney Plus, because their was actual tension. No one had plot armor or a future continuity to connect with.

[@kamotrof]

There was so many things that I didn’t like about the show, that the very few things I liked were grossly overshadowed. Not interested at all in a S2.

[@AuntieLissi]

Amateur made. Could have been made much better. Am very disappointed😢

[@loreidcomics4545]

Go make then. Oh wait your just a professional complainer

[@DonGivani]

True ,I really don't think this production was 180 million

[@mkhud50n]

@@DonGivaniinflation. $180 million doesn’t go as far as it did just a few years ago.

[@mkhud50n]

Please, show us your masterpiece.

[@alriley05]

Lol Oh OK

[@HellfireClub242]

A caneo is meant to signify that Star Wars is back apparently. Truth is, is that like everything Disney, its lacklustre. Nothing about this or anything. Disney has heart.

[@chrishans8978]

Lame series 🤮

[@raulprestol777]

This show sucks ass!
