/* ---- VIDEO INFORMATION ---- */
Alright, let’s start off with a quick summary of the episode… Everybody is DEAD and QIMIR DID THE DEADING. Qimir pushed Sol to the edge and now all Sol’s friends are DEAD…including Jedi Guardian Knight Yord Fandar and Sol’s beloved padawan Jecki Lon…leaving Sol as the sole survivor of an absolutely insane clashing of blade from an unbelievably powerful Dark Side user.
When Osha wakes up at the start of the episode after being flung away by Qimir at the end of last episode, she witnesses Qimir easily handling the might of an entire squad of Jedi at once. But what is particularly remarkable about Qimir’s fighting style in this episode is how he is somehow able to completely disable the lightsabers of the Jedi…either by blocking lightsaber strikes with his arm or by smashing his helmet into the lightsaber itself.
But the question remains…HOW the hell did Qimir even do that shit? Is Qimir some type of indestructable superman that has the power to deactivate lightsabers with some magick power? Well…the good news is…no. Qimir’s physical form is still just as vulnerable to gettin sliced and diced by lightsabers like everybody else.
The reason why Qimir is likely able to deactivate the lightsabers of all the Jedi through a special type of metal that Qimir appears to have applied on his helmet as well as his arms…and it’s a special metal in the Star Wars universe called Cortosis.

Qimir is a REN not a Sith, probably the first of its kind, he calls his pupil an acolyte not apprentice, he never said he's a sith, he said he has no name and Jedi might call him a sith, there's no terminology for a Ren that time so yeah, he's a ren not a sith, SITH WERE EXTINCT FOR A MILLENIUM remember???

[@smookypooch]

Agreed. It's the SW hate bandwagon

[@roscoeorginal]

I am not going to say you can’t enjoy it but there’s a lot of glaring issues with the show. As a Star Wars Series, it breaks cannon which if anyone tries disagreeing you are fighting against a brick wall and I don’t even want to talk about that. In a vacuum of its own accord it’s pretty boring and doesn’t make much sense from its own bad writing, terrible acting from majority of the actors, and the effects team being kinda ass which is a result of being over worked to hell. Many story elements are just dumb like “it’s impossible to kill a Jedi without a Lightsaber, so I am going to give you that task” then she kills two Jedi Masters without a Lightsaber (one even just kills himself which was also confusing), besides why does it matter to the Sith how the Jedi are killed, they don’t care just kill them it’s not important to how. Not to mention the main character just switching sides when she realizes that her sister is alive and even says “my loyalty is to my sister” acting like she didn’t try to kill her by burning down a colossal stone building that seemingly just erupted into flames in matter of minutes.

[@averyburgi7874]

You are absolutely not an idiot. The show isn’t the best thing to ever happen to Star Wars, but it mostly continually gets better as it goes on. All the hate is coming from the Star Wars Theory worshippers who hate just because they want to. They don’t have any valid criticisms, and decided they were going to hate the show before it started and before it finishes. Don’t listen to them, their opinions are invalid

[@dieago12345]

Great review. The Triangle execution Quimir performs on Jecki was very dark and this interesting link back to the witches. A great scene - where will it lead?

[@simonssays78]

When MT mentioned Triangles and the Witches 7:07 it made a light bulb go off! If you google Shmi Skywalkers dress belt it will show a triangle pattern! And look at Mother Koril’s necklace along with a few other witches they are wearing a metal version of the necklace that Anakin was wearing when Shmi said good bye to him! She probably made a poor slaves version for Anakin. Maybe this ties her origins to this ancient witch klan!

[@russellstevens9927]

P.S. When Yord says, "he gets in your head and stays there," he means it literally. As an example, Mae is literally scared and as she running from him at one point, she is having flashes of him and he calls her a "coward" and says, "you were going to betray me." It's apart of the psychological effect he has on a Jedi while they fight him. Which is why it's hard for them to beat him.

[@ICU1337]

I enjoyed the episode but someone really needs to go over to Disney and tell them how to write tv episodes... Episodes 4 and 5 shouldve been 1 complete episode. Its the same scripting issues they had with Andor all over again. Other than that, like I've been saying since episode 3, "Its always been the Sith". Mae has yet to ever acknowledge that she was the one responsible for the fire and I'm still not buying that Qimir is anything more than an Apprentice to the actual Master.

My biggest gripe with this episode was the editing. They would gave us neck deep in an epic fight then cut away to Osha or Mei just walking around. Then cut back in to the fight and then cut away for some other pointless exposition... It really took me out of it. This series cost like $1 million a minute, the episodes are already too short, just show us the fights that they were touting as being better than the Phantom Menace...

I get some people make a living being critical as well so I'm not here to convince anyone to change their perspective. As Obi Wan said "You'll find the truth's we cling to depend greatly on our own point of view" May the force be with us all

Oh,it’s a pile on for sure and a feeding frenzy. I have my gripes too with Disney but some of this is just pure hate and culture war crap. It’s 2024 and some of these guys are pro segregation and anti gay! I think the only way to combat this is to write even better and make the characters so likable that it doesn’t seem to be force fed, add some sugar to the medicine if you know what I mean! Ellen was able to win people over and so did Sidney Poitier but to be honest there will always be a small amount of haters!

To your point about Theory, I don’t personally like him anymore either but it’s not out of a political reason since I haven’t seen a concrete thing yet to show he’s just making videos out of a political reason. I do however agree with you that he has just become what everyone else has become and that’s being fake. He has joined the grift like nature of KZbin and speaks with other grifters regularly. He saw where his views were going and was losing subs so he transitioned. Lore and theory videos don’t do well for him anymore which is why he hasn’t made a proper one in a month or so.

[@jonahferguson5965]

I have a feeling that Plagueis might be pulling the strings behind the coven, using them for his experiments. That is why he may have been the one that sent them to the stronghold on Brendock, and he would be able to remain hiding and blame the dead Jedi on them and Qimir, rather than the Sith. If the Jedi do go and investigate the dead Jedi, and find them all dead with lightsaber wounds, it could also possibly be written off that they might have been mind controlled by the remaining witch Quirel, who made them kill each other in revenge for what they had done to the witches, and that would keep the sith's influence hidden (as long as Sol doesn't make it back to the Jedi alive - but I feel like he will be killed by Mae or Osha, upon learning if his hand in her mother's death)

He just lets everyone get killed - Lightsabers can just be turned off all the time? - Not sure why Jedi can sense the two girls on the witches planet but no one at all could sense Smilo Ran? - Where is Tenebrae etc?

"I'm enjoying this show and no one is paying me to say this." Same. I genuinely don't get all the hate this show is getting. They keep saying "poor writing," just like they say for every show or movie they decide to review bomb, but come on, this show is written to the same level as 90% of the stuff people love. I'm not blown away by any of the dialog or the specific plot points, but that is not all there is to writing. There's also the bigger ideas, and those for this show I *AM* enjoying. The idea that the Jedi, no matter their intentions, make mistakes and can be responsible for tragedies. That is something that is sadly true in the real world as well. Good intentions can lead to poor results, and personal tragedies radicalize people into terrifying monsters. Also, a dogmatic belief that your way is the only TRUE way is always going to lead to systems of oppression. It's an interesting idea that in their way the Jedi were capable of the same kinds of evils as The Empire, because a rigid idea of being right can make people believe their destructive acts are necessary.

[@mandolen3317]

[@IggyStardust1967]

I just thought of something..... if that metal can "absorb energy", then it makes sense that it could absorb The Force as well, because, well, that IS "an energy field, created by all living things. It surrounds us, penetrates us, it binds the galaxy together" (Obi-Wan Kenobi: A New Hope). So, it makes sense that Sol can't read Qimir's thoughts while he's wearing it. While I've never heard of the metal, several "Breakdown" channels have also pointed out that it has been mentioned in canon material prior to this live action debut. Being disabled and on a fixed income, I can't afford the books and comics that come out, so I do rely on others to relay pertinent information from them. Also, to put it out there, while I do see a few "flaws" in the series, I'm able to ignore them because I'm really enjoying it otherwise. Yes, I'm being called a "Disney Shill", and even was referred to as "a stupid teenager who doesn't know shit" this morning in the comment section of another video about the episode. Which I thought was not only funny, but kinda flattering. I'm 57 years old, so being called a "teenager" is FAR from an insult to me. I mean, I do have a "younger mentality" than many people my age... but I've got a "recent" picture of me in my profile.... so that means I LOOK younger, too. =D I'll take that compliment all day long! Edit: I wonder if Qimir was using some form of Vaapad against Jecky? He seemed to keep her at bay until he found her weak spot and killed her. You know, like Mace Windu was known to do.... find the "shatterpoint" of an opponant.

This episode lost me in so many ways. How did Mae not know it was him? I was so excited Mae was going to give up everything she knew for her sister once she found out she was alive just to have her what? Attack her and leave her defenseless on a world with the Sith Lord slaughtering everyone and with deadly creatures in the forest?? That’s a huge 180. She could have talked with her sister a bit more about the night of the fire knowing that the Jedi “brainwashed” her. But just went right into knocking her unconscious and leaving her for dead with an infected wound while she slaughters the only people who could validate her side of the story?? And I didn’t see the whole healing thing so they didn’t really make that clear. And how did Kenoka die? Are we just not going to see the high budget fight scene? And if Sol explains what happened the night of the fire in like one or two sentences in the next episode, I’m going to be super pissed we waited for this. He had soooo many opportunities to say something moments before imminent death and said nothing. And why bring Osha along in the first place? She’s been nothing but a hindrance and he clearly doesn’t want to tell her the truth until they get back to Corosunt I’m so sick of the lazy writing from Disney. Just hire better writers. Is it that difficult? Why?????

[@HellBot-gi5si]

Mae, is not using your force powers. She can push people but that clear but she doesn't really know how to use it.

[@HellBot-gi5si]

Just remember not all Jedi and Sith are the same. Luke and Obi-Wan was so talented at feeling a disturbance within the force. Notice that during pre-quells you don't see the Jedi really using this ability. It only when they are being hunted do they develop this sense.

[@marjoe32]

Amazing reviews. Been loving the show, this episode had me on the edge of my seat. Things are just getting juicy.

[@MetalsirenIXI]

Imo he was able to force push all those Jedi because they were not ready for such an attack and none of them made any attempt to block it. Its generally shown a force push must be countered in some way otherwise you're pushed regardless of how skilled you are.

[@tarantasaurus4177]

I've been calling Qimir 'Darth Teefs' in his armor :D

[@wenerjy]

The power of many stabs

[@emanueli3858]

Still waiting for someone to talk about the Kyle Ren music cue when Qimir heals Osha. I’m almost inclined to think that Qimir may start the Knights of Ren.

[@aldotheapache9951]

There’s been speculation that the twins would eventually switch sides and Osha would be the one to be the dark side acolyte. Welp. We have the setup. With just the episodes left, we have to get another Rashomon flashback perspective of 16 years ago. That might be next episode.

[@cmenzes]

I think all thoughts around Plagueis are misdirected. It feels like Mother Koril trained Qimir. The triangle wounds on Jecki, the mention of Qimir getting in your head like the Brendock witches - I think it all leads back to Koril, the witch we didn’t see in the aftermath of the fire. Either this story is a bottle story and has nothing to do with the canon sith line or, this is a young Plagueis who got to see the force create life and chased it for the rest of his life.

[@jimboshrump]

This was the best starwars ive seen in a long fucking time.

[@voiceinject]

manny jacinto is great in this, coolest sith since darth maul

[@Stellascion]

Kind of cool to see cortosis on screen finally. Not a fan of the series but I can appreciate a good lightsaber duel.

[@xtrafunk]

easily the best this show has been to date, with the best fight choreography we've seen in all of disney star wars. I personally think mae and osha remain the weakest link here, and I'm not very hype for their story moving forward... but the supporting characters like sol, qimir and jecki (rip) have been doing good work.

[@warrick3w881]

I really enjoyed this episode. Now really wanna know what truely happaned that night of the fire. And thank u guys for just sticking to breaking down the show rather than hating on it. The hate for this show is like a sore

[@MandosaWright]

Nice catch, on that metaphor of killing a Jedi without a weapon.

[@cac1504]

Ultimately Sol killed Qimir to assume the identity of Sith. More Jedi killed on The Acolyte than on the entire Star Wars movies. Fabulous indeed!

[@branofdilts5764]

Anyone else getting a Ryan Garcia hate bait to come out with the KO type energy from the vibe change between 1-4 to this episode?

[@ManLikeBetty]

Paul, I think you should include MT in your DP, or make a generic one so he doesn’t feel left out, I feel like he deserves more than a banner call out, only cause I’m a fan of you both ❤

[@orionhoover9457]

So theory thrown out there, is he possibly the start of the cult of ren. They use the force to free them selves and the leader always has a red saber as reference in the kylo ren comics. Curious if that is the case or that this is someone who was affected by the jedi previously and learned about the sith culture via holocrons or older texts from different religions/ ideals and learned of the sith.

[@gjcart26]

Great theory!¡

[@mike78401]

I think bazil with be the one who will be able to the difference between osha and Mae after the switch since he completely runs off smell and he’ll smell “osha”is Mae actually

[@catgoddness]

The only grip i have with the show is mae changing motivations all the time. I think its intentional so willing to see what they do woth it but at the moment its kinda annoying

[@rm1968]

Sol went godmode almost fell out of my seat

[@branofdilts5764]

I think Sol used Jedi mind tricks to make osha want to join the Jedi and qimir used the dark side to make Mae start that fire, and that’s how sol and qimir are connected by fate the same way the twins are

[@branofdilts5764]

Osha will find out this truth thru qimir and the real plot of the acoloytes infiltrating the Jedi temple will begin and we will see a full on kotor trailer style battle in the end

[@carllamera8507]

Kimere is one of the twins mothers...most likely the leader that did not carry them. Kimere has a strong connection to the witches and their culture. Also tight with the twins. She was open to thread being pulled and ready for it. It is consistent with the "goal" of the series

[@jongmans38]

Excellent, thanks.

[@blindpilot_v1]

So assuming that the metal absorbs force power, what effect would that have on the wearer if they were trying to use the force?

[@WaggyP815]

I think Qimir (younger dark side) and Sol (older light side) are the same person, or Force dyad. If Sol killed Qimir, the dark side will be reabsorbed and fully take over his consciousness. Sol wants to keep that from happening to the sisters, too, because they’re are the same as him. The Sith want to make one of the sisters as his apprentice

[@DngnRdr]

There's huge burn mark on his arm when he blocks the lightsaber so I'm guess he used the combo of the force and his harm to block it and then uses the force to heal himself while he continues to fight. He seems to have quite the skill for multi-tasking whereas the jedi seem to be one thing at a time.

[@HellBot-gi5si]

Please understand, Jedi knights are space cops. There not trained to kill. Where as Mae under her master was already killing Jedi and she wasn't even a Acolyte yet. Jedi Knights rarely pull their lightsabers and are trained mostly in the third form or Soresu which is a defensive form of lightsaber combat.

[@kdckeino]

Q is a Sith Warlock: Reading into legends you get the Sith Warlock and this description describes Q. The Sith Warlock's preferred method of dealing with heroes is to rely upon their mastery of the dark side of the force. They make excellent manipulators, frequently working behind the scenes, only revealing themselves after the heroes have thwarted their scheme.

[@mikeygiuseppe2693]

Qimir gives me Shang Tsung vibes. Honestly love his character. Can’t wait to find out who trained him.

[@whatchuptu]

Darth Vader number 25 was meant to show an unreliable narrator, it's Vader in this case, who feared that Palps somehow was responsible for his conception. Anakin was conceived by the will of the force. The writers of Darth Vader 25 confirmed this.

[@zom8680]

You cant claim the triple tap pn Jecki was a nod to Brendok (kinda like how Tom Cruise in Collateral did to his targets) when she wasnt even part of the original quad that started this revenge quest. As cool of a death as it was you also cant state thats his "method" when he is seen quite literally moments earlier killing jedi in other ways

[@Fvviff]

Qimir wants an apprentice, i think he will use Osha as a way to make Mae harm her to get full control of her dark side to turn her.

[@fortyakers]

Mace embrace his dark side which made him very powerful by using the light and dark.

[@eqshelton54]

It may be discovered that "SOL" (and/or, the Jedis) was the one that set the fire at "Osha" and "Mae's" home, and may have killed their Mother, and all the witches on "Brendok," and the Jedi (and, "Sol") LIED about it, and somehow "the Master" found out about it... (You heard it first right here... lol)🤔🤯😏🤓

[@JusRaeDae]

Lil Uzi reference earned my like.

[@BuckyBarnesATL]

Yes! We get to see MTs face again!

[@ElysiaBrenner]

Take another look at Darth Vader #25 -- the comic writer himself says we're misunderstanding it if we take Palps creating Anakin in the womb as fact.

[@JacobDean88]

Awesome job M.T.!! After you left New Rockstars you should of just started your own channel!! Especially if you brought on Tommy. Although i am glad you are still at work!! 🔥 Awesome breakdown!!

[@enriquegonzalez6100]

Didn’t they get Cortosis from Baldemnic? I believe that was in the novel “Darth Plagues”. I didn’t hear you mention it referenced there. 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@RogerKamena22]

Refreshing and well documented breakdown ❤

[@kaharakahara]

The only thing that would surprise me in the show is if Sol turns to the dark side at the end.

[@vikitie]

I would take the triangle theory a step further, that Qimir is related to Osha and Mae. Is a Force triad a thing?

[@bleyd__]

I gotta say, this was the best lightsaber fight since Prequels. Imagine Andor writing with Acolyte choreography 🥹 Qimir is carrying the show right now, a lot of style points for killing these Jedi. Though I’m still worried about the Sith reveal, it means Sol has to die, right?

[@emsee8073]

The three trees being cut down symbolizing the three slain Jedi, leaving Sol to be the fourth, to be killed without a weapon (Mae will try)?

[@iLovurMom7401]

Mt your the only thing good about the show..keep it up

[@ddiferent]

Sooo, at what point did Osha get either shot or stabbed to warrant a save by Qimir? It seems to me, that Mae tried to murder her sister or did I miss something?

[@BillNyeGuy]

The twins are going to switch sides. By the end, the good one might be the last remaining sith who will train Plageius.

[@AaronLevine-t3j]

I have to disagree with the comment about Palpatine influencing the Midichlorians in Shmi Skywalker. It was mentioned by Lucasfilm story group creative Executive Matt Martin that Palpatine did not create Anakin. Vader was having visions that may or may not have been true based on his thoughts. It can be inferred but it does not officially confirm it. However, is it possible that he is not Plagues but a dark side user Plagues is using in the same way Palpatine used Kylo? Palpatine may have copied a play-by-play book from Palpatine and succeeded where he failed by noting faults in his plan then executing them. Plageus may in fact behind the scenes be orchestrating both sides between the Jedi and the dark side users along with witch convents. Palpatine did end up working with the witches of Dathomir. There may in fact be a mole in the Jedi temple that needs to be revealed. Hopefully we get to see a young Palpatine with Plageus at least in the final episode to bring up that Qmir was just being used.

[@JediKryze]

I get frustrated at the constant framing of the Jedi outside of actual Lucas canon. Yes, there were Jedi that were blinded by the reality that light can and does cause shadow. However… to the point of painting the Jedi in such ways as the enemy?! Uhhhh yeah, no. The Jedi are an order, this is fact. But it is well known and documented that many Jedi operated with their own agency. It was truly only those that sought to teach and master the Force that held positions of influence within the order and the councils. There was ALWAYS oversight. Does that mean it was perfect and unfaltering? No. There were many times that due to Jedi having their own agency that transgressions were made. This is why the Jedi demonstrated regulation and restrictions towards other Force wielding entities. It was to lower the chances of galactic wide outbreak of chaos and villainy. It is understood that for contents sake thoughts, challenges and perceptions must be explored but, it does not and should not be presented to undo the absolute good, justice and peace the Jedi had and still strive to ensure. If not for the Jedi we would see no growth or freedom within the galaxy. Hope would be a forgotten word and notion. The Jedi are embodiments of hope. No story telling told should eradicate hope. As the Force lives through all, so do we affect all with how we present ourselves to be with our actions and words. Always should we give hope. The Force guides us to do so. The Force is with us…. Always

[@joedavid2510]

You asked how quimir become so powerful with the force...... the power of maaaaaannnyyyyyyyyyyy

[@wonderwomanmillow2281]

Can not wait to see Kelnacca with black eyes under witch control fighting Torbin and Sol in a flashback in episode 7 (IMDb)!❤ Greetings from Germany💕

[@devlinmallen]

The creator of the comic confirmed himself that Sidious actually had nothing to do with Anakins births, that vision was of Vaders deepest fears that he was created by his master since day one and he never truly had a different destiny. But that was just a fear brought to vision. Anakins was more like space Jesus I believe where the force itself gave birth to him with his mother idk it’s weirdly vague. Either way Sidious and Palagious had nothing to do with the birth of Anakin Skywalker

[@devlinmallen]

Side note. I hope they’re taking the force back into the whole random selection mystic power thing. Not every powerful force user was some champion or chosen one. Some people were just random babies born with great power in the force it was random and almost unique sometimes. So I hope Quimir is just a random powerful force wielder and there isn’t some “outside” prophecy or tampering

[@jesperpetersen636]

He called his own pupil “it” too 🙏🏻🙂

[@greaveslb75]

This was by far the best episode yet!

[@koammudo43]

Turned into a horror movie for a second i thought this was RATED R
