Mother Aniseya cannot be the master or Plagueis because she is seen dead on the ground when Sol and Osha are running away from the witches’ fortress.

No background on anyone from the start. I was dropped in a bucket with rats running around trying to figure out what’s going on. If this is a beginning I need some information on people, things and motivation. Don’t flashback me until the second or thread episodes.lost me after that. I said this on another post. It would be the mask or one of the mothers. To much playing around creating life. We know who did this from the books that keep getting ripped off. If not I still see book ripoffs. You truly need a dedicated group of people to do nothing but fact check the original store. Not just one or two people. From what I see it changed one hell of a lot of fans lives. The same who paid for tickets. The same who pay your promotions online when it’s done right. How much do you pay for damage control that’s taken out of your profits when you upset the ones who got you here in the first place? You need to stop, look and listen! As we were all thought. .

[@justicestyles]

I don't understand the outrage .... we know the Sith had to be active during the High Republic because how did Sidious get here? We also know that even after episode 1 ... some Jedi were still skeptical that Maul was actually a Sith ... the Jedi were arrogant and blind

The problem is Ki-Adi-Mundi is in the acolyte and he is the one that stated the Sith have not been seen for thousand years. When questioning if Darth Maul was a sith. So it screws up George Lucas’s story. That said I love the acolyte and the new Sith Lord.

I vastly hope that is not the case. I'm hopping that Manny is just the Sith apprentice to Plagueis or Tenebrous. One that gets killed before Plagueis or Palpatine come along. Similar to how Palpatine had Maul before Dooku.

[@drumsofspace]

Maybe Tenebrous is the main Sith and Qimir is his apprentice and Tenebrous ends up killing him later for putting their exposure at risk, or it's a Knight of Ren, or whatever other sect. etc. (or maybe they will just leave that as a possibility and to interpretation and keep the possibilities alive - but have someone in a dark shadow at the end Kill Qimir and the show ends and its revealed to be Tenebrous would be a good story maybe

[@daividplummer6030]

We headed to the answer of who is the master. I agree with you that changing the back story for plagueis or tenebrous is a bad idea. It feels like the plagueis character will be separate from the witches. The trade federation being involved feels like a nod towards Plagueis and the Muun? Also the Tenebrous ship building association as well as the cortosis mine feel like a fair connection to both The stranger and Plagueis? Not sure how they would have to re-work those things to connect to the witches. I don’t get the feeling that the witches are Sith, just using the Force with a different culture that isn’t in-line with the Jedi? We still have a lot of mystery to explore it seems. Thanks

[@Birdbear-qm9lf]

I think the guy helping the evil sister is the actual master.

[@lexalford358]

Another thought to toss in the mix when the apprentice dies the master has to get a new one. If they don’t live there is no mention of them and this is far enough back that they haven’t become sith yet and we knew the beginning was Bain. We know that the end was Vader. But the thousand years in the middle is kinda sparse on the ones that came in between. And how long they lived before they were killed if they were to quick to teach the new dark lord then they wouldn’t live that long

[@Joseph-qj2ge]

Plagueis is referred to as a He by Sidious when talking to Vader

[@arwinaBlu_Kat]

In the opera scene plaguis is referred to as a he by palps.

[@ReviakRPG]

Remember, in this timeline nobody know about the sith and the ability's they have, the reference is to point that osha will discover another part of herself " her roots" in the dark side, Qimir is look like is young Darth Plagueis, but the use of a acolyte is to kill his master (don't believe because in the novel he kill his master without using a weapon).the rest o the plot is just speculation. but all the lines of qimir are from a wise sith philosophy like Darth Plagueis the wise.

[@Bohemian0522]

I'd really like to see Qimir being a Knight of Ren. You know, the Knights of Ren is invented by Disney, I think they would want to expand on their own creation, rather than exploring the legends which they don't see as canon at this point. His helmet design is similar to Kylo, so it's not far fetched he was also one of the Rens.

[@eddie6198]

I think it's much more likely that Plageous and Qimir were working with the witches. Maybe Brendok was the Siths home base and the witches showed up and made fast friends.

[@jamesknox-kz7gw]

I don’t think they will switch either tenebrous or plaguesis to any of the witches however you may be onto something. I think Darth Venamis could be in the acolyte as the stranger.

[@larrynapper2693]

If so they will alienate so many fans. The Darth maul books were amazing bro .

[@Grimwulf88]

You're pretty spot on with your theory and guestimations. The way the story is shaping up, there's no way the witches died from smoke consumption. One of the two mums likely survived. I just hope one isn't revealed to be Tenebrous. As for Plagueis, he is either 1 years old or in his 20's, according to Wikipedia. Tenebrous doesn’t die until 67 bby. He/she is alive in the Acolyte, and is 100% the only known Sith Master, period. If it's revealed that Tenebrous is one of the moms, that would be so dumb. As for Qimir, if he names himself, "Plagueis" that would also be stupid. Can it happen, maybe bc Qimir is human and doesn’t die until 32 bby. Which is,,, 85+ years from 119 bby. Which would make qimir what, in his 100's?? Hope this doesn’t happen, but with Disney, anything is possible..

[@MADC1973]

Agreed, Plagueis was old in the years leading up to The Phantom Menace but not that old. I think (or hope) that Disney have set this series over a century before TPM to have a little creative freedom with the Sith without changing anything substantial that is already established.

[@robbengold2645]

It’s going to be Plagues. Non-cannon has him being young in this but him saying “I’m old. Very old” or whatever in this makes me think it’s him along with a host of other reasons, many to do with Disney lol.

[@majortom2329]

I'm guessing a Sith was involved with the Witches and their creation of the twins. Qimir may have even been there the night the Jedi came but doesn't reveal himself. Their home was an abandoned Cortosis mine which is where Qimir gets his helmet and armlets. Qimir would only be about 18-20 years old at the time so it seems reasonable to assume he has a master. I think Koril will be his Master, as she is the more violent and aggressive of the two mothers but keeps him hidden from the coven. She will start the fight with the Jedi by taking over one of their minds and forcing them to attack each other. The Witches will also attack and the Jedi will kill them all. Koril will escape but not before using her power to control Mae to kill her sister so she doesn't fall into Jedi hands. Later Qimer will locate Mae whom Koril believes is dead (the Jedi don't have her) and will take her as his acolyte. He will tell Koril Osha has survived but has been taken to the Jedi temple and can not be retrieved. Later when they hear Ohsa has left the temple they can't find her. Qimer will tell her he will kill the four Jedi to draw her out so he can capture Osha and bring to her to her. His plan is to use one her daughters to help him destroy her. This is why he was willing to kill Mae and why he doesn't kill Osha. He knows one at least must die as together they are a threat to him. This is why he reveals himself and keeps disengaging from fights to try to at least kill one of the twins. Sadly the sisters will unite with Sol and kill both of the Sith and Sol will die too. The Jedi will cover it up and say 'case closed'. Then in season two, the two sisters (with gopher and Pip) will continue their love/hate relationship and have really cool adventures that don't interfere with the canon. Probably.

[@jeanco031]

Koril don't like the Jedis because they don't let the witches being themself. But she was not agree with Aniseya about the way she made the childreen. (Probably with Sith help). So she probably not be the master.

[@ismailabdullatif9426]

Well… maybe the Darth Tenebrous - Plagueis is another faction of the Sith… The thing that cannot be change is Ol Palpy’s master aka Darth Plagueis! Myself.. i think all these will eventually lead to the Phantom Menace… how? Master Mundi(i like to call him that) will cover it up from the Jedi High Council(Yoda) and pretend nothing had happen.. no Sith.. nothing… and all the Jedi(in the so call mini council) will take an oath to never break silence. Darth Qimir’s sith lineage will leave the known galaxy and will start the Knights of Ren will be his successors…. all play out well Until Phantom Menace when Master Mundi were quick to dismiss Master QuiGon on the Sith… if im at the council i’d be suspicious of him trying to hide something! And Master Sol will die at the end if the season..

[@tohur]

Quite sure its gona turn out that Qimir is actually Darth Plagueis because it was ONLY the books which are NOT cannon as far as I remember that actually said Darth Plagueis is a Muun.. never in the movies do I remember they saying he was Muun and not human.. or hes Darth Tenebrous. the time tables line up and Darth Plagueis is cannon just not if hes muun or w/e. so in actual cannon he can be human.. but I leaning towards one those witches being Tenebrous and Qimir being Plagueis and I think its actually Qimir/Plagueis that set fire to the place not Mae. so he could take out Tenebrous because it doesn't work for one the witches to be Plagueis as Plagueis has to be alive to eventually train Sidous

[@BrentStewart]

Nothing is ever canon until it is in live action. Before the CW came out George Lucas himself said that the EU was fun but took place in an alternate universe and that the only Star Wars canon were the six films. That subsequently changed to include the CW series. As good as the Plagueis novel is, none of it was ever canon. And even media other than live action post Disney is not 100% canon - they've changed stuff from their own books. The Mandalorian literally retconned Cobb Vanth from what was written in Aftermath. And George retconned Boba Fett's backstory entirely with Attack of the Clones. This is why I haven't read any Star Wars comics or books in over two decades - its ALL subject to change when it hits celluloid. So go on Disney, retcon the hell out of Plagueis and Tenebrous - I'm here for it.

Wrong, Sidious told Anakin, that Plagueis was so wise that HE could create life. So it has to be a male.

[@MADC1973]

As a Star Wars fan I'm not on the toxic "hate everything Disney" bandwagon but when it comes to completely changing a story element or character that is universally loved and recognized by the entire fandom then I have to stand with that group in solidarity. I sincerely hope that Disney use some wisdom for once and keep the legends elements of Darth Plagueis true to legends. I'm not overly bothered about changing elements of Tenebrous as the character is not directly connected to the Emperor/Sidious character arc. If Disney don't deviate too far from the established Legends timeline then Darth Plagueis will not be the Dark Lord at this point in time. Maybe Disney have set the series over a century before The Phantom Menace so they can have a little bit of creative freedom without disrupting what comes after.

[@alexmartin3143]

Only way i see any of this working is Sol has to die before reporting to the council. And Ki Adi Mundi is either in direct league with the Sith, intimidated in to silence by them, or outright lies to cover up what happened or is mind wiped. The mind wipe thing is already on the table because we know the twins memory were altered. Despite all that it’s gonna be really hard getting around his extinct for a millenia line. They’d have to investigate Qimir to completion and determine he’s not a Sith. Mundi shoulda still remembered oh yeah hey a dude with red lightsabers cut down a youngling field trip.

Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis The Wise? I thought not. It’s not a story the Jedi would tell you. It’s a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midichlorians to create life… He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying. The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful… the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. Ironic. He could save others from death, but not himself." - Sheev Palpatine or Darth Sidious. Plagueis is a HE. They cannot gender swap that character

[@Xandrosi]

In a plot worthy of Plagueis, perhaps the entire purpose of all the Ep 5 gyrations was to insert Mae under Sol within the Jedi. It's the only way that having Mae act like a feckless coward might make sense. Plans within plans within ...

[@ichigen511]

Constantly amazed at how modern nerds completely throw their nerd cred in the garbage with nonsense like this. Proving that not only do they not understand what Star Wars is (they look at it like a video game and not a life lesson), but they don't understand how lore works. Let me break it down for you. Apparently you are struggling like much of the fandom. You're welcome. When Ki-Adi--Mundi says "the Sith have been extinct for 1,000 years" it does NOT mean that "the Sith have been extinct for 1,000 years". I will NEVER be able to comprehend the fandom that doesn't realize that Ki-Adi-Mundi is a knuckle head created by George Lucas to SHOW US the arrogance and denial of the Jedi Order. How is this not obvious?!?!?! Ki-Adi-Mundi has ALWAYS been George's poster boy for head in the sand not paying attention because he refuses to except the truth. 1. He DISMISSES Qui-Gon who told the high council "I just fought a Sith warrior" by saying "oh no you did not!". And guess what happens. Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan are sent to help Padme and what happened. The real life Sith (not gone for 1,000 years duh) are alive and well trained and KILL Qui-Gon. Thanks Ki-Adi-Mundi! Next scene Yoda says "ALWAYS two there is...". I thought I was going crazy with all the so called "fans" saying the lore has been broken so I googled "always" and, just as I hoped. I'm not crazy. Always means "AT ALL TIMES". Crazy how words work isn't it? 2. 100 years prior to getting Qui-Gon killed he DISMISSES the female Jedi who said "maybe she (Mae) was trained by something worse (than a splinter group, s Sith) by saying "oh no that's not possible". 3. He DISMISSES Sol who explained to the Jedi that "Mae doesn't know her master" by saying "oh no, that's not possible you silly boy". Having Ki-Adi-Mundi in The Acolyte makes The Phantom Menace lore STRONGER and MAKE MORE SENSE as to why the Jedi order let the Sith sneak up into the Republic and take control. Sorry to logic to all the haters. But logic/truth doesn't care about your feelings. The SITH HAVE ALWAYS BEEN HANGING OUT IN THE SHADOWS FOR THE LAST 1,000 YEARS. If you can't understand this then you don't understand Star Wars and what Geroge Lucas was telling us all about the failing Jedi order. SMH. If you are seperate for more information from someone who knows and undertands Star Wars. Ask me about how many times George Lucas retconned the movie prior back in the day. He made shit up as he went along and lore was NOT precious. Good stories are precious. But to modern nerds who don't care about the life lessons the Star Wars is always and forever about I just don't know what to tell you. Stick to your power fantasy video games. Star Wars is NOT for you. It never was. Apparently.

Nobody is saying this breaks canon because "the Sith were supposed to be literally extint". Who in their right mind got THAT impression from Ki-Adi Mundi's council comment? Nobody. Way to invent an entire narrative that isn't true just to attempt to shoot it down. Everyone knew at the time of Phantom Menace that the Sith were not in any way extinct. His quote only showed the ignorance of the Jedi within the universe itself; it wasn't taken as a statement to the viewer to be exposition or factual. So that's an extremely disingenuous comment you made. As for Yoda remarking on the Rule of Two, the Jedi long knew about the Rule of Two from at least Revan's time (yes, he exists in canon now), and knew of it as well during Bane's rule. Bane tricked them into thinking they won and wiped out the Sith, but they had already learned he had enacted the Rule of Two. So when Yoda realizes the Sith ARE truly back or still around, he logically explains to Windu the last known undersranding the Jedi had of the Sith. That doesn't mean Yoda knew the Sith had "always" existed eternally, it means he knows that whenever they DO exist, it's under that rule due to Bane. You attacked the majority of the fan base with your comment. If you think yourself the sole arbiter of knowledge on Star Wars lore, you're sorely mistaken. I not only wrote for LucasArts for a major game of theirs in the late 2000s, I managed to get approved to include a Sith Lord named after my legal name included in the story I worked on. So I'm more than a little credentialed to discuss SW lore. I had to read and study a massive amount of it, some that wasn't even published and was used by LucasArts to explain continuity to writers, and as such was never available to people like you in the public. You created a false argument just to attack people. Wow.

You took one line that was meant as a joke, misunderstand it, and write a novel 🤣 pipe down, angry dork.

[@grumpyoldmenshayestehroo2711]

if they do that Disney is trash.... hope they don't but wouldn't put anything past them😮‍💨🙄

[@sethmeyer2443]

Oh god who cares? George Lucas himself changed legends canon so many times including what Darth Bane looks like. Any fan that complains if a legends Sith isn't the same race as in canon seriously needs a life and George Lucas would be the first one to tell you that.

[@DharricRolyat]

Darth Plagueis was a Muun. Beginning, middle and end of that conversation. Any attempt to strip the novel of its content and change him to be anyone(thing) else is just a nope.

[@MADC1973]

Agreed, but anything before Plagueis has not been clearly established in cannon so Disney will no doubt use a little creative freedom in this backstory. I'm fine with that as long as they keep away from story elements and characters already established by Lucas himself.

[@SWPhoenixSquadron]

I don’t disagree. My head canon is the Plagueis novel.

[@art08474]

Tenebrous, a male Bith👍

[@The1976spirit]

Too much explanation. The force sensitive twins are clones, born by a force sensitive surrogate mother. Spock, on the other hand, can´t be sensitive anyway, otheerwise he´d would have found out Khaaaaaaaaan is a princess and not a clone,

[@Jinglemyberries]

Who fucking cares Disney cancel the show so just forget about it

[@Wes-ikAxc]

That's not how it works, Lesley 🙄. Ffs, it's not the sith apprentice that wants the master's power and recruits an "acolyte" to kill the master because then the "acolyte" would become the sith and the apprentice wouldn't. Palpatine/Sidious only chose Luke to strike him down because he (the master!) wanted Luke's younger, more powerful, less broken body (not Vader's). Because somehow that's the sith's way to immorality and why Palpatine is "every sith" or "all the sith." J. H. Christ on a bicycle! It's as if this clod of a womxn either never watched all of the Skywalker Saga, or didn't understand anything (well, space fires, go figure), or just doesn't care about introducing incongruities.

[@Wes-ikAxc]

PS. Not a nerd here who cares about "Legends" or basically fan fiction. The only things to consider are *in* the cinematic universe. So don't care about BS dates and such things that aren't actually *in* the movies or series. Qimir being Plagueis or even a witch Plagueis 🙄...fine, whatever.

[@antred4597]

Hopefully this Stranger will kill all the Jedi, because the show suddenly got better.

[@IntenseYubNub]

Good news, they didn't do this

[@grumpyoldmenshayestehroo2711]

wait... what? it this is true that they will replace Darth Plagueis or darth Tenebrous with one of the witches, then that would mean that sidious was trained by them 😂😂😂😂 what a pile of dog 💩 .. I totally agree that the darth Plagueis book is amazing and if they do that that book will mean nothing.. God Disney suck.

[@aDeathbomb]

[@kishkin8743]

This confirms poor writing and storytelling. They're just making it up as they go and people are trying to make sense of this nonsense.

[@seanhagelbarger6801]

Darth tenebrous should be the sith that exists at this time. He should be in the background working on his experiments with midichlorians and maxichlorians

[@LIGHTLORD_MASTA_RAWRGER]

Since most of the cast is dead hopefully the dialogue will pick up for the rest of the series lol 😂😂😂 but some nerds be mad at the filler/ flashbacks when they enjoy them in animation but not in starwars live action gtfo 😂😂😂 Ohhh & for the lore junkies maybe look at the books like comics Even the mcu doesn’t do a copypasta from its “lore” comic books 😂😂😂 maybe learn to separate lore from live action smh neckbeards be mad mad about nothing for likes 😂😂😂

[@billallen7775]

The response from the stranger should have been "don't you know master Jedi?" With a slight scoff or taunt.

[@neomatrix4412]

i am a plague

[@TheeKrix]

If this is true, Plagues was probably born male then Turned himself female or vice versa. With the force.😂I know this sounds completely silly but I don’t think it’s out of the realm of this god awful show.

[@SraMacaco]

Dogmatic and unimaginative. You’d do well on the Jedi Council.

[@robertrains7029]

Bro your fake news

[@fliplife67]

I have no problem if 1 of those witches are the Sith Lord but for Disney not being creative and just say there either Plagueis or Tenebrous is F UP!!!!!!!!

[@azharuddinzahaur7683]

A lot of the diehard star wars fans are basing their views on Star wars legends materials. Legend is not cannon. Kiadi mundi date of birth was stated in legend it was never in cannon untill now

[@MADC1973]

Certain fans negative response to the age/appearance of Ki Adi Mundi is a major overaction in my opinion. I believe his presence in the series is not by accident. His presence in The Acolyte and what he said in The Phantom Menace about the Sith being extinct is a deliberate plot reference to reinforce what the Jedi of the prequels know/don't know at that point in time. I believe the final episodes of this series will reveal that the Sith's existence will remain a secret and all the Jedi who have encountered them at this time won't survive. Either that or Master Sol is involved in the biggest Jedi coverup in history. If so, why would that be?

Why give it any oxygen, this pos show is dead.

Canon is never concrete , anything can change , all these books and articles creating all these alternate interpretations is silly . I don’t think Disney have to religious follow all that nonsense . All they have to do is make a good story .

[@ericlondon2663]

😳

[@christopherduke2477]

You destroy your own argument with your own facts. Plagueis is Palpatine's master, whatever species he is, yes so more likely the stranger is actually a young Plagueis wanting an acolyte to make his apprentice and kill his master, possibly the mother is a sith master but unlikely, it looks like the two sith were already on the planet. It also looks like Osha is actually the bad one and the deaths are her fault. David Harewood is signed up for the show, I suspect he is the sith master.

[@SWPhoenixSquadron]

It wouldn't be the first time I've been wrong, nor will it be the last 🤣
