The cortosis helmet headbutt to short out the lightsabers was something i never knew i needed to see

[@jordanwhite352]

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.

[@endervslender]

I had to rewind when I saw that happen. Just, wait, does the guy have cortosis for his helmet and brace? That was pretty neat!

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.

“You brought her here.” 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.

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.

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.

And Qimir proved to Mae a Jedi can be killed without a lightsaber… lol she had a front row seat for his demonstration.

[@frankw8772]

The good twin sister may turn BAD -SITH and the bad twin may turn GOOD.

[@Icon4life2]

I am still shocked, sad, and excited all at the same time! Love this show. Let's go!!!!!

[@geekxsir3610]

That fight choreography was insane! You two always have the best reaction.

[@myafelicia]

One thing that stood out to me during the fights is something eerie: you don't hear Qmir walking or running. His footsteps are silent...

[@benjaminportilla9297]

Well, the red-shirts sure got red-shirted, but then they were like, "But WAIT, there's MORE!"

[@ronroy8784]

Love y'all reaction

[@chsbluedevil53]

As a huge fan of the Bane trilogy, I screamed “CORTOSIS HELMET” in pure joy

[@CoreyJTomlin]

Really enjoyed the reaction guys, you guys and Star Wars Explained are the two channels I’m liking as you’re very honest and positive about the Acolyte!

[@JayRayOfficial]

One of the best battle choreographies I've seen in SW. Just my opinion.

[@pwalmsley9]

Episode 5 of each of the live action Star Wars shows. Every damn time.

[@briangilesmtg5632]

Well also Ep. 6 Of TBoBF....

[@AstrObserver-iw1km]

This is so fresh, thanks.

[@AnimatedEffigy]

Ok, I think this episode is making me lean into the possibility that Qimir IS The Acolyte. What if he is trying to get a pupil to help take out an apprentice Sith Lord that has been training him to do the same thing to the Master. 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.

[@kaicoronas67]

One thing I noticed is that he said that a Jedi like Sol would CALL him that, it doesn’t mean he is that. Because the only true force wielders in the Jedis eyes are the Jedi. I also am surprised no one so far in my eyes notices how he doesn’t have the sith eyes

[@TgrHwke]

I suspected that Qimir (Manny Jacinto) was the Acolyte Master when he easily overpowered Mae in the alley.

[@Rangerderp22]

You’re reaction to the sith-kabob was 🤌🏼😂

[@auntvesuvi3872]

Thanks to Kyle, Bendu and Nerd Chronic! 🌑 It's great to see the energy absorption metal *cortosis* brought into live-action. 🔸 Did you notice a bit of the 'Kylo Ren' theme played as 'Qimir' approached 'Osha' and knelt, near the end?

[@KyleKatarnChannel]

Kylo's theme AND force heals? The sequels got some love tonight 🔥

[@adriankuban2904]

​@@KyleKatarnChannelAcolite episode 5 is the best star wars thing I have ever seen. These fights and choreography surpassed both the Phantom Menace movie and the clone wars episode.

[@auntvesuvi3872]

@@KyleKatarnChannel Absolutely! 💥

[@MiaNilsson-x6m]

​There's actually a VERY similar if not identical theme figuring already in E1. With that and the kintsugi helmetwork, have TKOR been hiding in plain sight all this time? "You'd call me a Sith" - i e he's not saying he IS one. I can try to return with the time stamp, but it's highlighted in @starwarsmusicalanalysis review of E1, and I really think his channel deserves much more attention. Good music is often not only "there" to create a mood, it's telling large chunks of story that we otherwise miss, making connections, nuancing characters, and planting various Easter Eggs.

[@auntvesuvi3872]

@@MiaNilsson-x6m It's true, Mia! 🤓

[@luc1us__]

Just when Qimir begins to heal Osha's wound. The kylo ren theme plays and a monotone trumpet reprise. I have a feeling he is the first knight of ren

[@ace360]

Worth the wait Kyle and Bendu!!!!🎉⚡🤘 "Not killing are main three" Oh Priceless Stay awesome guys 🙏🎆

[@heroic3darts449]

I’ve said the same about this fight. Palpatine took out 4 Jedi council members like they had never trained. These Jedi had that fighting chance.

[@ShadowArtist]

I am 80% certain Qimir is the Sith *Apprentice* and not the actual Sith Master, I am sure there's a Sith Master that is teaching Qimir....

[@JoshieboyStudios]

After having it pointed out to me, the Kylo Ren theme at 28:03 in unmistakable. Qimir is definitely Ren. He even has the same skin marks on his arms!

[@busydarthnooox8290]

This was really epic and brutal. Jackie and Yord? Damn

[@jimmyz1232]

In regards to him saying "Sith" he never confirmed that's exactly what he is. He just said that's what Jedi may call him. Could he be the first Night of Ren?

[@starkillerrevan1094]

You know, many people frowned upon having a Sith in the show and especially one that's not Tenebrous or Plagueis because it "breaks continuity", but if you think carefully about it, it could very well not break it. In the book Darth Plagueis, it is mentioned after the death of Tenebrous that he is actually "not the only sith for that matter, but he is the only Sith descended from the Bane line". So I'm thinking maybe somehow the guy here is a Sith but not from Bane's line, or maybe he's more of a really dark Dark Jedi who calls himself a Sith and at some point, if the Jedi don't kill him, he gets killed by the Sith from the Bane line. I mean if we look carefully, he is powerful and devious and all, but in a way, he's not as powerful as guys like Bane, or Plagueis or others. He strikes me as being more like Maul than Sidious. Even in TOR, Acolyte is the lowest rank of the Sith, so what if he's actually the Apprentice of the true Sith Lord?!
