Naboo is right.. his arms were well cast

[@artofficialjoe]

“You know how flexible I am” 😳😳😂😂😅

[@Solo13508]

Definitely agree with Naboo. I think Manny Jacinto as the Sith will go down as one of the best aspects of this show. Apparently he did all of his own action scenes (including wearing the mask) which is some impressive dedication!

[@AndreNitroX]

I really enjoyed seeing that sweaty look on him after the mask comes off. In real life when I wear my cosplay helmets I always look sweaty too

[@daruekeller]

OMG, it really IS the Power of Manny ! the subtitles had a typo 😆

[@Cyber1zed]

It's interesting how both Qimir the Sith from here and Baylan Skoll, both dark siders, are the best aspects of their respective shows. Part of it comes down to the actors; are they picking really good actors for the dark side users?

[@nah7656]

@@Cyber1zed or just poor writing on both ends... interesting take though

[@belgeode]

Don't even sweat Darth Biceps, Thor. I am pretty certain he is nowhere close to 6'4"!

The best reveal in this episode was the biceps on the Sith Lord

[@Engulfedorb06]

Cortosis was also key in the Thrawn: Alliances novel. Long story short the Separatists are attempting to create a factory with cortosis-infused battle droids which Anakin, Thrawn, and Padme put a stop to.

[@vestarakhai5303]

The mystery is "what is the mystery?"

[@danielbadillo8334]

I think Qimir makes for a very intimidating and scary sith. My favorite bad guy we’ve gotten in Disney Star Wars, at least in recent years

[@AndreNitroX]

Agreed and despite it being obvious, I’m glad it’s him. The big reveal were his jacked arms

[@christianbeach8975]

I’m just happy they didn’t waste the next 3 episodes for us to eventually find out it was him lol

[@BcBTheta]

Moth Gideon and baylon Skoll are better but Qimir is winning me over. I don’t even like this show but damn that was good choreography

[@monsieurcommissaire1628]

I just love you two. I've probably said it before, but there's no harm in repeating it. You're my favourite SW channel, and your banter has made me smile (though not like Darth Smiley, thank God) many times when I've needed it. Thank you for being you.❤️

I'm so glad that you found us! The more the merrier for fun star wars talks. Thank you for the support!❤

[@colette3401]

Is Manny Jacinto the sexiest Sith we have ever had on screen in live action? Its okay no one has to answer that. Because the answer is yes.

[@rowanb4395]

I dunno if Qimir is a Sith tbh. Maybe early Knight of Ren? Having said that, I know very little about most things

[@colette3401]

@@rowanb4395 Sith or not, he is pretty freaking cool. I think he might be a Ren, and we'll find out he aims to kill his master and be free of the Sith doctrine and title, effectively seeing the origins of the Knights of Ren. I mean the arms, the Kylo theme, and just the whole "I want to be free to do as I please" attitude pretty points to this. As the Knights philosophy are just to be free willed and Live.

[@rowanb4395]

@@colette3401 That's a really good breakdown of things. I noticed the theme too. I really like the character, looking forward to see what happens. In the meantime, hope he practices getting a light off of his back. That's a day he definitely skipped at the gym.

He definitely was the most ripped

My theory that Yord is secretly a sith greatly complicated now, but I think it's still possible! I believe in Yord.

[@ian-flanagan]

I’m not watching but it seemed like his “I had eyes on her the whole time” was very awkward. So it’s just more awkward writing then?

[@kelticowl9400]

Manny Jacinto is such a great actor, from Jason in the Good Place to the Sith here, loads of range. Manny and Sam Witwer paired as a Sith Duo would be an epic show

[@CurlCascade]

Darth biceps couldn't reach the light on his back because his huge biceps were in the way. He went to the strongbad school of design, hence the beefy arm. He was also likely the one who burninated the village :)

[@kylecentral]

Naboo is correct, he has good biceps - my girlfriend commented on his arms and as a lean lifter myself, he has the Brad Pitt Fight Club style physique going on that someone like myself strives for.

[@AndreNitroX]

Yes his arms were the most impressive thing this episode

[@douglasstephens6693]

Darth Maul being respectful of Jedi enough to allow robes removal is reflective of his master/trainers, yeah?

[@ReeseCraven]

12:19 “Really weirdly volatile” is right! She tried to kill her sister at eight years old. Lol

[@IQ-v-OI]

I think Yord could have easily been a better character if they had more time. Like they could emphasize how Yord is constantly look down by his fellow jedi (as hinted at through Jecki and Osha) due to his poor lightsaber skills and force potential and show how he turn to his studies like learning the jedi code (which is why he knows Sol is breaking 13 jedi precepts) and learning a more complex language to prove to his fellow jedi that he is worthy. It would also explain why he sticks to the rules so much because after the spending so much time studying the jedi code, he can appreciate it. They could add also scene with Yord and Jecki discussing how strictly they should follow the jedi code. This makes Yord disobeying Sol much more impactful because it shows he has grown and makes his death more shocking. Honestly a waste of a potentially good character.

[@dannbrauckmann1545]

[@randompost78154]

The writers strike must have hit this show really hard. Imagine everything is the same in the show except the words coming out of the actor's mouths made any sense. The show would be like an 8/10

[@rector0455]

Gotta start lifting, Thor... Get you some dumbbells... concentration curls, bench press and chest flys are a good start. If you got the room for a barbell and bench, skull crushers will get you some guns Naboo will swoon over in no time.

[@benjaminsmith6521]

I'm still not sure what Mae and Osha want and what they are prepared to do to get it. Also, Sol is way too emotionally driven to leave without acknowledging his fallen padawan.

[@thesharpercoder]

Thor, Naboo is correct. Qimir has muscular arms. At one point the “Descriptive Audio” track tells you so. As Qimir stands, “…his muscular arms are covered in bruises, grime, and battle scars.”

[@chileanyways196]

It’s hilarious how the one thing everyone in the comments agrees with is that Qimir is hot

[@Kriv-kj6lk]

[@rosidaze8681]

Enjoyable episode overall. still rough around the edges in the dialogue and writing. I really wish we had this tone from the start. I think it could've really hooked more people in the beginning of the series if they set this type of darker take and let this period feel fleshed out. Yes the reveal was very obvious but I thought Manny did some amazing unsettling acting, also he's very hot LOL. Darth Biceps indeed. I really hope we get more of this in the next coming episodes.

[@chileanyways196]

Couldn't agree more! Total upgrade from the previous episodes, but the writing/dialogue still fell flat in a lot of scenes. Loved the darker tone and incredible fight choreography tho! Manny genuinely felt scary once he dropped the goofy sidekick act. Pouring one out for my fave Jecki

[@colette3401]

There was a moment in a previous episode where Mei sounded surprised that Osha was even alive (whichever episode where Osha missed the stun blast). Obviously something bigger happened at that temple beside Mei lighting it on fire. I'm willing to bet Mei knows what else happened but thought Osha died at the temple (hence the revenge tour killing Jedi and why she suddenly wanted to stop when she saw Osha). My theory is that the twins are both clueless about that night and are just stuck in a "tug of war" between the unknown Sith trying to exploit them (or maybe even did the deed himself and made it look like the Jedi did it) and Sol being ridden with guilt and trying to save them. Nothing really happened in the flashback episode to say the Jedi did something besides show up but something clearly did for that former apprentice to drink poison willingly like that. Unless Disney is just that bad at writing but l'm willing to wait and see first mao

[@pbot2029]

Guys I think Osha is the Sith acolyte. Once I caught it, it makes more sense why the sith lord isn't killing her, why she's helping the Jefi to hunt Mae. I'm not saying it's a great show but it's what makes sense. Then she finally kills off Sol. Not a great show but it is what it is.

[@g.t.werber4476]

That is too smart for these writers

[@BalzMahoney]

He didn't need to reach the flashlight on his back. He just needed to put his hand by his shoulder and use a force to pull it off. But let's say that didn't happen. He should have been able to chop up those moths either right away or way before falling out of the sky. I bet he was hanging out in a tree for a while watching people.

[@lucidspoon2021]

So look, the show is not great. But I do think Manny Jacinto is a bright spot. Most of this episode is just a long fight sequence but I did think he kinda nailed the character he’s supposed to be playing. He’s one of the few characters I’d actually like to see more of in the coming episodes.

[@Shingeki1323]

I should become a Sith if it gives me biceps like that. Darth Sidious referred to Juyo as a Sith style. Juyo was the seventh form of lightsaber combat, and few Jedi practice it. The most notable one is Mace Windu, who transformed it into Vaapad. Maul is trained in this form, and Sidious uses it as well. It is often described as unpredictable.

I liked that jeki, or however she is called, was the most competent fighter of all the jedi, it was a little odd that darth ezra miller easily killed all the jedi and then struggled to kill a padawan, but also kinda cool. Also, anyone knows what happened to jorg’s apprentice?? I am pretty sure he had one in the first episode and then we never saw her again

[@Sam_T2000]

is it really a mystery if most of the characters know all the answers, and it’s just Osha and the audience that don’t? the show actually feels like it has the parts for an interesting story, it just doesn’t know what to do with them. …and is the fact of Osha and Mae being Force babies going to be relevant at any point? it was mentioned, almost in passing, in the flashback episode, and that’s it. Osha has visions of child Mae intermittently, but those seem to only go one way, and they don’t seem all that unique in the world of Force dyads and such 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@JackQSmith]

I was convinced that Mother Coral(?) was Qimir's master but now I'm starting to think they're the same person somehow. She might have transferred her consciousness into his body at some point for one reason or another, similar to how Palpetine attempted to do the same. This would be their way of retconning the origin of that power into the story. This could also be Hedland throwing in a transgender allegory. He could also be messing with everyone's memories through some Force power. In what seemed like a throwaway line at the time, he asked the Jedi not to wipe his memory when they apprehended him in Episode 2. Could have been a bit of foreshadowing. I won't go into detail but this could explain a few things but could also create more problems so O figure this is unlikely.

[@Stratos.2]

[@TheStacanova]

Wow, Thor stole the OSHA line talking about how “Flexible” he is. Oh, Behave! Also, he can Force push like Ten Jedi 50 to 100 feet back, but can’t force pull something from his back? Seems unlikely. Churchill coined the phrase “A riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma” I coined the phrase, that Lucasfilm’s scripts are “a contradiction wrapped in a Contrivance inside of incompetence”.

[@MandoMax55]

Why is everyone saying this guy is ripped. He literally had the stature of a female ballerina. Frail and brittle. The guy does a set of lateral raises prior to the shoot and they rubbed some oil on his arms.

[@randyrodriguez2398]

No doubt Naboo is the wise one.. taking things with patience and waiting for a good ending and not hating everything just because is different and new, i suppose Sol is not trying to sense Osha because someone that is in front of him looks exactly like her, he doesn't have a radar or detect osha spell activated all time, episode had details but nothing to not enjoy how good was everything..

[@thorskywalkerplus]

Waiting for a good ending? Why should I have to wait for the show to get good at the end? Shouldn't the whole thing be good? And, yes, a Jedi is essentially always sensing the Living Force around them like a sixth sense, that's literally how the Force works. Sol would 1000% not get the same feeling from Osha that he always does; that it's the feeling he's got around Mae.

[@EJ_Crough]

With the flashback in ep 7 I believe we'll see that's definitely Sol climbing the temple and we're gonna see him spying on the Witches training the twins and Sol is gonna stumble or knock something over and it's gonna cause the interruption/noise that stops the lesson we see goin on in ep 3. This show is dumb and feels pretty predictable now. I think the line during the dual where Sol says the Sith feels familiar is just a reference to Sol meeting him in the shop where he had made the poison for Jedi Master that ended up drinking it

Enjoyed it a lot, best dueling since Prequels, with the heft of ST and the rest of the Disney+ shows. Those deaths were insane. This episode redeemed a lot of the exposition in the first couple, even if I don't still love the structure. Cortosis! That headbang to short it out was so metal. Wish these episodes were longer so we could care about Yord and Jecki's death more, and why so many wipes! Just hope the swapped places segue into the episode 7 flashback and add some crazy elements to the space chase next episode. And could Qimir be a Knight of Ren? Kylo's theme played at the end with the curious quote.

[@Paradox-es3bl]

Muscles make you less flexible so unless Thor gets jacked, it doesn't even matter if he can remove something from his back. But for reference, I easily could, too. If they used a Droid, they should've used one that could keep moving just out of reach and stay attached to his back. Because honestly, I think you need like Schwarzenegger Mr. Universe muscles to not be able to reach your back. Pretty sure even "Darth Biceps" should be able to unless he's legitimately injured his tendons or something and doesn't have full range of motion. I don't think his muscles are big enough to get in the way. But this channel's Thor really probably isn't a fair approximation. I'm guessing he's not built like MCU Thor lmao.

[@MrChristophSteininge]

I do know that jedi practice with helmets on that completely blind them, trusting in the force to direct their blows. But despite this knowledge I am still discombobulated about how anyone in their right mind can attempt to fight with a helmet on. I have done this in a larp setting. You are cut off from most sensory input, like hearing, and most importantly seeing. Whatever shape your helmet is, your only connection to reality is that slice of it that comes in via your visor. One who has not done this cannot imagine the deprivation. You hear everything distorted and you see very little, at night it is impossible. If you look at Smylo Rens helmet you see a pencil thin crack in the structure of the item through which the character can see. You are almost blind. I know, technology, yada yada and so forth. Darth Vaders visor let him see even more clearly. But here. Hmmm.

[@daruekeller]

the combat training scene in the temple - remember how they were being taught: "don't adapt to unexpected conditions, just keep doing the same old stuff that isn't working" If an adversary has cortosis armor, don't try to use the force to throw the adversary at a rock, throw a rock at the adversary. I had thought the show was actually having the characters make smart choices, I liked for example Yor following when Ohsa wandered off from the group, that's a rare example of a character doing something smart. but dumb-choice count has leapt ahead

Maybe the witches made a deal with plagas where he was testing out his new way of using the force to create life…

[@daruekeller]

it's not really necessary for the lead Witch to have used the force, it's already possible using real reproductive tech today for a woman to fertilize an egg with no other DNA involved. It's currently taboo and not past 'proof-of-concept' I think, not yet been done for real IIRC, but it could be done if we really wanted to. So if it's just done without some weird Force-involvement that would be helpful for the story, I don't think it needs to have involved the force for any reason.
