Do you think Qimir knows that his master is watching them? Or has this master not yet taken on Qimir as an apprentice?

[@curtdecker694]

Amazing series 8.5 out of 10. Loved this series.

[@nmwald1]

It would be cool if in this scene, as in the book, Plagueis had just killed Tenebrous and stumbles upon Qimir's den as he's trying to flee the planet.

[@Gavcool31]

He was so nearby to qimirs lair that i feel like he has to know. Hes also a powerful sith so i believe he could at least sense plagueis

[@freyna]

It was an ok series. Too many borrowed lines and tedious in places. Still a meh 6/10 for me.

[@wwdarth]

I agree totally. 7. They definitely stuck the landing...taking lots of chances along the way. It was far from perfect, but nowhere NEAR as 'bad' as the attacks after a single episode made it out to be. I WOULD watch a second season.

Bazil sabotaging the ship is the most frustrating unanswered question of them all. Darth Bazil? 🤔

[@SirCash]

It's called bad writing

[@ChrisMcCarroll]

My thought is he was thinking, Sol was going to kill May, and didn’t want that to happen. or he thought something was going to happen to the ship and it was just a survival move, self preservation But I agree there were seemingly no reason for that to happen other than to separate the two ships. It was definitely weak writing.

[@Naerah]

Not really, he saw how tunnel vision Sol became and sabotaged the ship before Sol killed them both. Sol was totally loosing himself to his emotion at that point.

What of Plaguis is like Vader as in he has a secret apprentice Qimir while currently being the apprentice of Tenebrous, like how Vader had Starkiller while under Sideus, and he is finding out the Qimir had a secret apprentice as he was sneaking around the caves

[@johnaustin1061]

Starkiller isn’t canon

[@rossanderson5815]

Aside from starkiller not being canon that's it exactly. Qimir is a Sith Lord, he is currently after an acolyte who he will use to try kill his master. It won't work of course and either Qimir or Osha will be killed. Though we know from legends the Plagueis carried out experiments so he may use these 2 for these experiments before offing one or both of them.

[@johndoe6032]

@@arianalikens5300 MY assumption has always been that he created Luke in secret to survive and take over for Palpatine one day and didn't tell Palpatine. And Palpatine killed him shortly after, so Anakin's existence went unknown to Palpatine.

[@philclark3399]

So here's my theory on what's going on based on the premise that Disney (as shown with Ki Adi Mundi's retconned age) aren't afraid of tweaking things. The shift Vernestra felt was the death of Tenebrous at the hands of Plageuis. Qimir is an adaptation of Darth Venamis, Tenebrous' secret apprentice from legends with a name designed to invoke the word venom. The first time we see him, he's handling poison. When we see Plageuis in the cave, he's just tracked Qimir/Venamis down, that's why he's looking out the cave in the way he does, and as per legends has the intent of killing him. Plageuis is stronger in the force, and can mask from Qimir/Venamis, whilst also being able to gain some grasp of the situation playing out around the events on Brendok and the twins origin Venamis had a grim fate in legends. It's likely a version of that may play out as he's now more valuable "alive" than dead

[@Carpediem357]

There is no retconned age omfg. Ki Adi Mundis age was never mentioned in canon. The age comes from legends

[@philclark3399]

@Carpediem357 okay, misuse of the word retconned, his age was established in what is now legends, and is different in canon as of this series, so it shows they're willing to tweak legends continuity into canon

[@rossanderson5815]

We know he's a Sith Lord. We only know him as Qimir or the stranger or Darth Teeth. So yes he absolutely could be. People act like the rule of 2 is absolute but we know that the jedi can be wrong and that became looser with Ventress and the Inquisitors etc.

ive always held issue with the rule of two.. since the masters hardly seem to stop the apprentices from getting thier own before killing their master. they just seek the strongest apprentice, so i feel like at some points there might be multiple dark-users. but only 2 would be "sith". so plaegis watching him groom a replacement either as an apprectice for himself or to replace himself. is kinda the status quo. i feel like the pattern is always never just 1+1 but always 1+1+(1)

[@user-zf2ru4eq4w]

Wasn't it also mentioned by Dooku himself in tales of the Jedi that the Jedi Council is dismissing the possibility of a Sith Lord existing while being the cause of death of Qui-Gon leading to him leaving the order to Yaddle? So, is the Jedi actually aware of the Sith but just sweeping it under the rug out of fear any Jedi members would leave either out of fear of the Sith or to switch to the dark side?

[@Carpediem357]

Yes. The Jedi believe these "Sith" were just dark Jedi or rogue Jedi using the darkside.

[@VandelSavage1433]

The deception setup by the Sith is diabolical 😮🤔

[@nitsugazemag]

I enjoyed it. I hope there's another season or that they're able to contextualize it in another. I think that this fandom, in particular, is tenuous, and sometimes unreasonably volatile. However, every form of media is subjective, and this series is not immune from it. Looking forward to season 2 of Ahsoka.

[@NamelessAddy]

What the faak. Now I understand why the writing gets progressively worse

[@Monkey-124]

The serie was ok, there were mistakes but some nice scenes. Mae and osha remind me of jing and jang. Im happy that they took some knowledge from the legends and made it cannon like cortosis and plaguis.

[@DRossGaming]

Why they didn't use identical twins that look exactly alike when they were little will always make me wonder.

[@agathisrobusta]

Maybe not that easy to find the right actors?

[@DRossGaming]

@@agathisrobusta lol no. Just no. That was a choice, and a dumb one.

[@whanblake8360]

I thought the same thing. Must be some really horrible identical twin actors out there.

[@DRossGaming]

@@whanblake8360 I don't think that's it. Those kids didn't have like a huge role in it. They reused a bunch of shots. They probably only actually filmed 2 episodes with them.

You rated it 7/10.... 😂😂

[@cowetascore8476]

I wouldn't give it a 7 out of 100.

[@MeraLee82]

I agree with your 7/10 rating. There were some amazing performances and sequences bogged down with clunky plot holes and shortcuts. I would watch a second season, but would hope it learns from the feedback to this season.

[@jesseleblanc8445]

No video on this getting canceled?

[@TB-ng5pv]

But why did the twins have to go their separate ways in the end?

[@TheMystic-Portal]

Probably to be safe like they said, if the Jedi could find both of them, they could prove the divergence was real

How could it have been Sol all along? I mean wasn’t he on Coruscant training younglings during the first murder?

[@Fallen_Angel_79]

I hope they will do a Season 2 cause we have a lot more things to explore here !!!

[@Dauntlessmedia]

The Acolyte is really good Star Wars. In fact, it's a natural successor to Lucas: Ambitious, thoughtful with a theme and morality it wanted to explore, interesting characters, fun moments, but also flawed in its execution. One thing is certain for me: Star Wars is better now than it was before The Acolyte. It's a win. Looking forward (hopefully) to another season.

[@TipeneThorner]

Plageuis could very well be Qimirs master. Plageuis didnt care for the Rule of two, nor did Tenebrous and Palpatine

[@KeeperOfSecrets-42069]

Yes they did. In the books both sith masters tried to replace their apprentices because they both thought their apprentices were weak, which is ok to do in the Rule Of Two. Palpatine didn’t care at all for the rule.

[@wolfinstedd]

Season 2 could play with idea of (2 cells) of Sith master and apprentice.

[@MeChell-616]

To answer your question EV, being a SW fan since 4 was originally released but legit closet nerd for decades so didn’t allow myself the joy of comics, books and lore for fear of social death early on in life, yet have always been a fan and since come out ot the closet,🥁I loved the Acolyte. The lightsaber and non lightsaber duels were intense. I have rewatched them and episodes multiple times already. Not for nothing, Qimir’s performance is beyond stellar. Not gonna lie, when I saw him greet Osha in the apothecary in the earlier episode, I thought he’s not revealing all that there is to him. WOW what a difference in his internal twin. I’m impressed. I really hope they do a season2. There’s a lot to be revealed. Ya there’s some eh parts and the rest makes up for it.

[@WinterSo1dier]

Seeing the crystal bled on screen was one thing I hoped they did and did well… I wasn’t disappointed! Looked amazing. (Though the meme of the rocket ship ice cream was hilarious 😂).

[@TheHebrewCafe]

You said here that Qimir wiped Osha's memory, but it was Mae's memory that was wiped. Just pointing it out. - Jason (The Hebrew Café)

[@rileyhunt3987]

These were my favorite saber fights in the whole franchise tbh. I never really liked the showy spins from the prequels. The sol/qimir duel was just incredible. The series was a clear homage to crouching tiger hidden dragon, which is a great influence. The acting was incredible by pretty much everyone too. I do agree that as a mystery it wasn't the best, and the writing was inconsistent. I couldn't help but feel like if the twins were actually one character, the story could have been a little more interesting. It got a little too parent trap at times, and frankly they didn't have enough stuff for both characters to do, it was really just Osha's story. I think the whole medichlorian idea is dumb still, but star wars has doubled down on it a few times since the prequels so what can you do. The witches stuff is also pretty established by now so I didn't have a problem with that either. I really enjoyed watching it though, and I hope it gets another season, not sure how likely it will be. It would be cool to see the two if them form the knights if ren after the sith and the jedi mark them for death. Thanks for the video!

[@Snoozems]

Manny Jacinto murdered that role. Excited to see him in a season 2

[@hannahbean9889]

I really didn’t think it left me with too many unanswered questions. I really think that I felt like I had actual resolution from that last episode, which is the opposite of how I felt with Ahdoka.

[@Mando44646]

Disney+ needs to figure out run times. Episodes feel too short, too long, or too rushed a lot of the time with SW and Marvel

[@paulabird7485]

I loved the acolyte. It shows us how well do you know someone. It makes you see that the Jedi where already suffering from pride and hubris and would lie and cover up. The role swap of Mai and Osha. All was not as it seemed. Also the torture of the Khyber crystal to make it a sith weapon was amazing never thought we would get to see that. Yes there is more story to tell and questions to answer,so I hope that there is a second season but over all I think it’s a great story.

[@ricardoferell4323]

I think it was pretty good. Some world-building was done looks like they are trying to tell a longer story and bridge the eras

[@scottr.heffner9078]

I like the first episode Every episode after that just got worse and worse The acting from the main character was one dimensional And the writing was all over the shot The most shocking part is you giving it a 7/10 Must be nice to get paid by Disney
