You have to realize that the age of the Jedi was on brink of extinction over and over again thus those having the lack of training and experience to fight like they did before if you pay attention throughout all the films beside Vader and fallen Jedi in Canon it was a dead art, that's why in the war council of New Hope Imperial officers called it a dead religion and Vader was the only remnant of that remain

[@dahakaguardianofthetimelin4780]

It is literally explained in The Last Jedi that the Force strives for a balance between the Light and the Dark Side. If there are 5000 users of the Light Side and only 1 user of the Dark, that one user will be 5000 times stronger than each individual Light Side user. That being said, when the Dark Side user becomes dominant, the Force strives for a counterbalance in an exceptionally skilled Light Side user. Because Jedi act as an order, whereas the Sith operate only as a pair, the Force significantly favors the pair more because the Force strives for a perfect balance. It's one of the more interesting ideas of TLJ entirely thrown away in ROS

[@ButFirstHeLitItOnFire]

@@dahakaguardianofthetimelin4780 That kind of makes the force a tad… Scary. You’re basically saying, by this stated logic, that _The Force Itself_ wants a forever war between good and evil, and it will actively empower the weaker side to achieve its desired “Balance”, even at the cost of ruining countless lives. It’s basically like Kronika’s idea of a “Perfect” timeline in Mortal Kombat where Good and Evil are literally even in power and are locked into eternal conflict. But I guess that’s why the franchise is called _”Star _*_WARS”,_* isn’t it?

[@dahakaguardianofthetimelin4780]

@@ButFirstHeLitItOnFire The Force isn't good or evil. The Force just IS. That's kind of the point

[@TheMateria7]

⁠@@dahakaguardianofthetimelin4780 That’s incorrect. George Lucas explained that balance of the Force means eliminating the darkside. He stated that the Sith or Darksider users needed to die in order for the Force to be balanced because only the light side is balance. He said that the Dark Side is a cancer on the Force. That’s why the Prophecy refers to the Chosen One (Anakin) destroying the Sith and restoring Balance to the Force. In 2010, George Lucas said that true balance is light side harmony and eliminating the Dark Side forever. So what you said is wrong. The Force cannot be balanced if the Dark Side exists. I don’t know why fans failed to understand what balance of the Force means when George Lucas explained it a hundred times. You can google his quotes on it.

[@90skidcultist]

The Jedi literally lapsed over the past 1,000 years. Bane and the Rule of Two Sith foresaw this and manipulated the degradation of the Jedi and the Galactic Republic. Average, no named, Jedi Masters are usually equals to Sith Lords; except for rare cases like Exar Kun or Revan. Which the Jedi always had their own Light Side counterparts to match or surpass those powerful Sith. The Rule of Two essentially are all these exceptions at large. The Jedi as an Order regressed significantly. They focused almost exclusively on blaster combat and vibroblade opponents, who were often not Force-sensitive. While they could hold their own against other Force users, they just weren't the same as the Old Republic Jedi. The Clone Wars Jedi represented the height of their Order, with incredibly powerful individuals who could have been Grandmasters in the Old Republic. However, the average Clone Wars Jedi would likely lose to their Old Republic counterparts. Honestly, even the old Mandalorian Crusaders would probably wipe the floor with them.

Yeah, that was my main criticism of the lightsaber choreography of Nick Gillard in the Prequels. He focused TOO MUCH on the lightsabers and not enough on the wielders. A lot of Prequels battles look like they're aiming for each other's sabers instead of trying to hit their opponent. Thid battle took the best of the Prequels era fights and combined it with the weightiness and deliberate nature of Originals and Sequels fights. The Originals and Sequels fights made them feel like they're actually aiming for their opponent, but also made the lightsabers seem too heavy and clunky. Like they're wielding a heavy-ass Claymore or something. I think this fight and the Ahsoka fights in my opinion are the best mix. The agility and athleticism mixed with actually going for your opponent instead of showing off how deftly you can spin your sword.

[@MeTaLISaWeSoMe95]

I mean he really didn't. The moment she actually did any damage to him he diced her up. It felt like he was playing with his food, which fits the sadistic personality the guy has.

Who. cares. dude

When he force pulls the other Jedi onto his lightsaber … that was wild This dude headbutts light sabers

[@what76485]

The episode ended with that massive force push. And I got mad and said this is dumb. By the end of the fight I love qimir haha

[@electronD]

Is the sith lord here using the forbidden lightsaber technique where they activate and deactivate their lightsaber during combat?

[@Giagantus]

yes. Its Glorious

[@zachschendt7201]

I see trees that get cut just say fuck you to gravity and fall up 😂 or when half the fight is blocked by the forrest. Great job 🤣🤡🤣🤡

[@TheRoadToArea51]

Oh yeah how did they fall up? Wacky

[@doofus_l]

@@TheRoadToArea51qimir was using the force to push them up like “yeah this’ll look fucking sick” (production wise it was a weird compromise they had to do to bring a bit more light to the scene using the burns on the trees while keeping the set clear for the fight)

[@MySweetCreationz]

Praying for a season 2, this is fr the best fight sequences we’ve seen in so long in Star Wars, they’ve got good story telling, osha and qimir are incredible together, I want more!! 🥹🥹

[@skraeling]

Qimir and Sol were the only characters worth watching from this entire show.

[@master-of-mind5881]

Easily one of the best Star Wars fights. Executed with finesse. Nicely done.

All the cuts to the girl are insane absolutely breaks the scene so many times to just see her standing there like a mong, such a shame because the fight was actually top tier

[@GlitcherHex]

0:48 he used a forbidden technique amongst the sith and jedi called trakata, it is used by turning off the lightsaber mid fight then turning it back on to trick the enemies

[@Mrtoastyy]

The way he head butted that saber was crazyyy

[@briobrandon911]

Jecki was a REAL one. She went head first and fought him on a stalemate idc how she was disrespected towards the end she went out like a G! Im loving this direction - kill off characters even though they seem significant in the storyline. And whew this villain is SPICY!!!

[@Ghostmaker-c4u]

I appreciate where this is going. It always seems that every force sensitive person wants to be a Jedi Knight,but some don’t and others want to use the force as they see fit. Not just the Sith.

[@googleaccofalex]

bc sh'es good

[@chevin0]

she isn't, he finds her interesting and she's more bold thn the rest, so he is willing to let her show him all of her power. The older Jedi are too controlled, they are not as engaging, so he kills them quickly. I love Jecki, she and Sol are the best two characters in any of these shows, but it's pretty clear to me from his words and attitude that she didn't make hm work THAT hard PLus from what Vernstra was saying in the next episode, it sounds like aside from Sol, these Jedi were pretty weak. A strong apprentice on her best day putting up a better fight than a Knight or Master who wasn't specialized in fighting could totally happen. Ahsoka at 17 would probably beat most of the pre war Order

[@JusttheGayBits]

she's a natural. same way some people can pick up the piano real quick and other take forever to learn it

If Disney does all this action. Let’s get OG 2003 General Grievous

[@codyphobe]

Great fight scene, no question about that from me-but never have I ever seen a more perfect representation of the phrase “standing with your d--- in your hand” than those two Jedi looking at each other while their sabers shoot sparks instead of trying hand or force combat.

[@gruznik2119]

1v8 fight scenes only tend to work when multiple people aren't on the offensive throughout the scene

[@jesuspernia8031]

Bad characters and writing. It’s pretty obvious when you watch the shows and movies idk why you’re so confused. However, I have to acknowledge when they did something good. And they COOKED with the lightsaber choreography. Idk why it took so long for them to get it right again.

Qimir is quite possibly Darth Plageuis' master. Just a theory or a possibility.

i think hes tenebrous' apprentice

[@VantaBlack58]

Plaugeis's master was a Bith named Darth Tenebrous. Maybe Qimir was his master.

[@kaushikhegde8227]

Legends and Canon are different. Maybe Qimir is Tenebrous, who knows

[@swrodgon]

All depends on how far back the show is set, since the answer ranges from a vague hundred to more than. Teneborous and Plageus were from fairly long lived species, so where Qimir fits in who knows. Alternatively Qimir could be pulling a non-canon move and searching for an apprentice while he himself is apprenticed, which has precedent in legends anyways. Or of course, he could just be from some dark offshoot force sect that could’ve existed who knows where/when; after all, dathomirians are apparently extra-galactic now, so who the hell knows.
