I really like the show and I’m glad about the mystery and new characters and I don’t want to see Luke Skywalker or Darth Vader or Anakin nobody it’s time to move on from that. Plus, I don’t have to explain that much to my family about the timelines of what is going on with the shows. This is the first show and content in which I do not have to explain to my family at all that much with only two or three sentences. This is something new and there is nothing wrong with exploring new content . Maybe the others should just go rewatch the original trilogy over and over and over and over again I want to move forward with this franchise and I’m not going to cry about it.

[@GPBA89]

Whenever I watch Star Wars material, I always do an in-depth analysis of it. In this case, I understand what Qimir is trying to do with Osha. For those who don't like the bathing scene, there is symbolism in that scene. First, Jedi (and by extension Sith) are based on samurai and in Japanese culture there are hot springs where people bath in the nude. The water Qimir was bathing in might not have been hot, but the Japanese bath reference was still there. Second, nudity can be seen as the ultimate form of vulnerability. By approaching Osha in the nude while she was holding his lightsaber, Qimir was deliberately giving her the most open invitation imaginable to strike him down. Doing so would go against the Jedi Code of striking down an unarmed and vulnerable opponent and set the stage for Osha's own fall to the dark side. Palpatine used a similar tactic when he revealed his Sith identity to Anakin Skywalker in Revenge of the Sith. Also, Qimir is clearly trying a different approach with Osha than he did with Mae. He is probing and prodding her to find out her flaws, weaknesses, and what Qimir could use to tempt Osha to the dark side. As he does this, Qimir is not hostile to Osha and uses "kindness" such as offering her food to try and get her on his side. Qimir cannot make Osha his new apprentice if she is not willing to accept his teachings. Therefore, Qimir has to find a way to convince her to turn to the dark side without having to resort to violence and rage. Darth Bane did this approach when he recruited his apprentice Darth Zannah, Darth Plagueis did the same with a teenage Palpatine, and Palpatine did the same with Anakin Skywalker. Qimir tried a few times to coax Osha to give in to her anger, which is exactly what Darth Vader and Palpatine did with Luke Skywalker in Return of the Jedi. Qimir deliberately left his cortosis helmet unguarded so that Osha would be tempted to put it on. This reminds me of Momin's helmet, which possessed anyone who put it on, almost including Darth Vader himself. Another incident took place in the Aftermath book series where a member of the Acolytes of the Beyond wore a Sith mask and was possessed by the dark side essence in the mask. I think something similar is about to happen to Osha. Qimir's helmet is probably tainted by his dark side essence and it is about to tear Osha's mind apart. Some people might claim Qimir is a boring Sith, but when you go deeper into how he operates in this episode, you start to see that his manipulations are subtle, methodical, and meticulous.

[@DaNewWaveLee]

I don’t think we have to assume he is a sith yet. Maul did the same thing you described to Ezra and Maul was not a sith.

[@benny2755]

​@@DaNewWaveLee Maul lost his title of Darth doesn't mean he is not a Sith he still practiced in the sith arts as well while trying to convince Ezra to join him an apprentice. If you're following the rule of 2 then he is not Sith in Palpatine's eye bc he was damaged and could no longer be used as a tool he followed his own path, It's all in how the person looking at Maul perceives him.

I hope that Qimir doesn't turn out to be plagueis. He's interesting enough without that connection. Also I think mae and osha are meant to be a force dyad like Rey and Ben were in the sequels.

Unless there is a strong spring directly into the sea, Quimir is just taking a bath in the ocean. As these springs work, he should be 1 or 2 meters away from the shoreline for max effect. Everything else would be dilluted too much by the waters mixing.

Mike, I actually think that island is Luke's island in The Last Jedi. There are the creatures that look exactly like really baby versions of the ones that Luke got the blue milk from. Also, there's no temple because there obviously wasn't one at this time. And the other natives probably inhabited this island later? Idk, just some thoughts.

[@aguywholovesstarwars]

It does look very similar and I thought so too BUT Lesyle Headland herself just said it wasn't after episode 6! And no Porgs!

[@brianabel5216]

When Osha put on the helmet it made me realize just what a badass he is. He faught and beat all those jedi while not being able to see or hear, just using the force. I'm pretty sure he would give Vader a run for his money

[@briandoty769]

[@bestielwuca4677]

he definitely wouldnt touch vader but maybe couldve killed some clone war era council members

[@PaulSimon-ee3gg]

So the power of two is a dyad in the force that's a connection to Kylo Ren. It also makes sense that Vinestra Rowe used the light whip on Qimir to try to kill him. Just as Luke will try to kill Ben Solo / Kylo Ren. That's another Kylo Ren connection. Ok now I see it really seems like it's all coming together. I'm digging it.

[@larynOneka8080]

I said this last week on a different channel. It was obvious when he said "where is your sister?" Instead of where is Mae?". Every other time Sol has referred to them by their names.

[@beeochg4]

No he didn’t. I’m actually shocked he wasn’t able to tell it wasn’t her just by the force or something he should be a Jedi not just some regular guy who would mistake them for each other. He has a bond with osha since he’s trained her since she was young. Very disappointed with how he didn’t pick up on it tho

[@peters616]

That he didn't realize it would explain why he initially tried to report to the counsel then changed his mind once he made that realization, stunned Mae to prevent her from doing it, then quickly jumped into hyperspace so he could rescue Osha without the counsel's interference.

[@vincesenteney9123]

[@ashleerios4370]

When Qimir says a very long time ago, what I think he is implying is he was Venestra's Padawan who also trained with Master Sol when he was a younger Padawan; that being said, might establish that Qimir is at least as Old as Master Sol, perhaps older. So when Qimir was a padawan at least 20 to 30 years ago, the same as Sol, and if you take into consideration that Qimir actually ask Sol why he doesn't recognize him, is also implying they may have trained together as Padawans. And you may be right the water he bathes in may be keeping him young.

[@officermurdoch4120]

Thank you very much for this break down. Awesome as always! You work so hard. Do you even sleep sometimes? ;-) Could Venestra be a Sith in disguise? Maybe she killed the witches with Qimir‘s help. He seems oddly connected to Brendok. Venestra hid in the shadows and brainwashed Sol to believe being responsible for the killing, then Vendestra took Qimir secretly as apprentice and eventually he wanted „to get free“ and be his own master and therefore she fought him with her light whip?

[@aguywholovesstarwars]

HAHAHA thanks and yeah I sleep when the breakdown is finished lol! But I think Vernestra is more of a corrupted Jedi not a Sith But we shall see!

[@colinwithonel]

I think Sol knew right at the beginning that it was not Osha. It was only when Mae didnt admit it in that conversation, that he figured out she was a danger and took action. I also still do not think Qimir is a Sith. He found the helmet, maybe an old book, and he desires to be a Sith, maybe even to bring the Sith back by himself. But he is not in the line of Darths. I would not be surprised if really it is Vernestra who is the Darth, apprentice to Plagueis perhaps. Qimir was apprentice to Sol, she seduced him to become a Sith and then kicked him out for being a wimp, trying to kill him as he steals her Sith stuff maybe. He decided to leave the order and become a real Sith just to show her and take the power himself. She sees this and its like when Palpatine in the Clone Wars leaves to go take on Maul and his brother. The girls will kill her and the secret will be safe. Plagueis will take a new apprentice on Naboo, yada yada yada. Or maybe not, we'll see. Or better, that the power of Two is the power to create life. And this power will be used to create Anakin, Qimir is Plagueis appentice acquiring the twins for his master. He will kill his master in his sleep and take Palps for his apprentice. The girls will someday make Anakin for them, but for now Vernestra will come to kill Qimir and the girls, Sol will kill her defending Osha, and then get killed by Osha after he attacks Mae, and the Jedi will think Sol simply went crazy and Vernestra killed him as she died, so that Ki Adi Mundi can announce there was no real Sith. Maybe. Or perhaps Koril is the Sith, and all the rest of this is just her working for Plagueis, trying to paint a picture for the Jedi that will make them think this is all just a fallen Jedi and that the Sith are not real, all so she can take the girls back to herself and they can keep the coven going in secret, on Tatooine, while Plagueis takes a new apprentice on Naboo because Koril walked away. Or who knows, maybe none of it will connect.

Excellent breakdown by the way. Sol is the second Jedi to apologize for what happened to her" not osha. So I'm thinking osha actually died and they did something that is not the Jedi way to save osha. After realizing what kind of episode this is. I gave it a 8.5-10

If Qimir is ex jedi, maybe he found out about what sol and the other jedi did on Brendok? Could be a reason why he fell, if he tried confronting them and was shot down. 🤔

[@jonk3714]

When they started to blame Sol for the killings my mind went crazy with a theory that Sol would end up getting blamed for the killings and that’s why they still consider the Sith extinct in Phantom Menace. If the show ends with Sol, Osha and Mae in prison, and the secret of the sith hidden that would actually be crazy.

7/10 I really like the episode especially the chemistry between Osha and Qimir and the ending with the helmet. Qimirs manipulation was very subtle. I also did like how Venestra finds the dead Jedi. Really connects the far away Jedi temple with the main story. Sol and Mae are a bit slowgoing and for me its tough how Sol always tries to open up and then falls back into his masked self. But of course I‘m looking forward to his story and the look back in the next episode.

[@brandonbaker3208]

I give episode 6 a 8/10 and it was a good and interesting episode and bazil was such a menace lol and I wonder if the walls in the cave is cortosis or not and when I saw osha puts on zipperface's helmet and it was a bit surprising to me and I thought there was going to be a jump scare in there for a minute and I wonder if those waters are healing waters possibly and we get a flashback episode next week on brendok 16 years ago and I can't wait to see what sol did that was so bad abd we are seeing osha slowly turning to dark side and qimir as a jedi would be so interesting and it's got me wondering if venestra was his master and I figured mae was going to try to kill sol on the jedi ship they were both on and I think darth plagueis will make a appearance by the end of the acolyte and I am going to rewatch this episode again and I liked this episode and good breakdown video mike

[@steved2719]

Sol is going back to Brendak

[@wayne7in]

Its so easy to see. Qimir was there on Brendok and killed all the witches. (And Anikin like he killed the sand people.) And now he is seeking his revenge against the coven for something they did. Maybe he was the first attempt at force birth but was a male and given to the Jedi because of that? Or the witches killed his mom?

[@TobiasBarnes]

I reckon sol is plageous and he killed the witches and threw away qimir when the girls were discovered. The Jedi don’t know about the sith because they think sol killed all the other Jedi. Sol is seen as a fallen Jedi and not a sign. In episode 5, sol wasn’t there until qimir chased down osha and that’s when he just turned up? Interesting. Qimir asks what sol did with his darkness, so qimir knew about sols dark side. Plageous is wise so he could easily infiltrate the Jedi order. I think if sol is plageous then the show is saved and the writing is incredible. Sol also left all of the Jedi bodies and didn’t give them a proper burial. On top of this, sol showed how emotional and caring he was which is why plageous was a dark side user because he was trying to save everyone he loved. I think it’ll end with sol finding palpatine to train.

And Manny Jacinto delivered with some of his lines. I’m excited that we get a chance to witness a Jedi turn to the dark side. Osha is starting to question the Order’s teachings and philosophy so yeah I think it’s likely she’ll turn.

I think you are wrong about there not being force healing. What was his hand pose then over her as he was concentrating. Seems like Sidious does of little of this too to Anakin

[@aguywholovesstarwars]

But there is no force healing going on and episode 6 just proved that lol

[@nexanarmories2866]

I think another interpretation of his scar is being a former sith apprentice, and being cast aside for another. it could also call to it with the power of two comment, him going from the rule of two he would have learned from his master. the fact he knows some sith code, which at this time would be near impossible to learn outside of the Bane sith due to the jedi suppressing any mention of sith, also suggests he has or had a direct connection to Tenebrous, plagueis, or a predecessor of theirs.

[@DaNewWaveLee]

I’m not against exploring Qimir’s master and history but I don’t think there is enough time and idk how much of a character he is being used for this show. Twins and Sol are basically the only ones left from the start of the problem chronologically.

[@russellstevens9927]

I think Osha waking up is more of a metaphor for her opening her eyes to the truth at this point. The imagery of her waking up over and over can't just be a coincidence. It has to mean something just like everything else does.

So 1 thing about Qimir saying that he wants the power of 2 in Eps 9 Pulps mentioned the power of 2 when he learned that Ben and Rey was a force dyad so my guess is Qimir is really trying to become a Dyad and guessing that one of the sisters is the best choice or even Sol 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️ but I mean it definitely seems like they are hinting at a dyad before formed

Qimir now feels very much Darth Maul coded. Once an apprentice of a sith lord, Tenebris, who was discarded. He does say he use to be a jedi, "a long time ago, but people guessing Vernestra is a secret sith r wrong. I do believe the whip marks on qimirs back r from Vernestra but only at a battle where she found out qimir was a dark side apprentice. As for Sol, next episode will show us that in the past the witches possessed kalnaca to unalive the other jedi. Out of pure anger and desperation, Sol turned to the dark side and used lightening force to take out all the withches at one time. The witches unalive released kalnaca from their control. I believe all the characters in this story will die by end. Including Qimir, Sol, mae, and osha. Vernestra will cover it all up. 😎

I agree the Jedi have always been the bad guys. They kidnap children and if they don’t agree with their philosophy then they are either banned or exiled.

[@suscon1140]

One thing for sure - in an interview last week, the creator said we should all be keeping an eye on Sol. There is DEFINITELY more there. I made a prediction several episodes ago that Sol was a Sith Apprentice and Vanestra was his Master. Then I thought about it and realized that theory probably had a low probability of being correct. Now, I am actually thinking it may still be correct. Vanestra went to her light whip VERY quickly to kill the "butterfly / moth" creature. Qimir's said his Master struck him with a lightsaber and discarded him. Was Qimir Sol's Acolyte? The hits of a past between those two, Vanestra and Sol having a close relationship, with both sometimes operating in secret within the Jedi, and even in Episode One, when the young student in Sol's Class said she saw "fire" when reaching out with the force; Sol said the force can be like a fire, playing off the link betwen fire and passion and redirecting it - while at the same time paying attention and replying to that student's response.....could Sol actually be a Sith or at least a Fallen Jedi?

[@annalivia1308]

Sol *bowed* his head when confirming the mission?

[@Mandounited]

What a great episode! I did think after last week that Sol was done for in the first few minutes so was relieved he made it out alive! Lightwhip was so cool ❤

9:22 the terbulance at the ship from the beginning of the season made me think osha, through her feelings of frustration, tapped into the force.

[@jaredbezes7806]

This is literally Star Wars Parent Trap

[@mattmillie007]

If this is the case then I’m back to my original guess of Qimir actually being Revan. Especially if he’s a much older & fallen Jedi.

[@aguywholovesstarwars]

Now THAT would be WILD! I don't think that is going to be the case BUT I love a good crazy theory!

[@Kimberlyk12]

Venestra might have thought well that guy(Qimir) is dead by now and that whole problem is out of my life, nicely covered up, not realizing Qimir could still be alive, de aging. But when she realizes who attacked the jedi, and is now realizing all this is her problem coming back to haunt her

[@MiamiHeatHype]

The smile on the mask represents either his allegiance to himself and knight of ren or abaloth … the show to set up abaloth … or qimir is the apprentice to plageousss and looking to break freee or already has and wants the force diad for himself to overthrow the plageous … we shalll seee but osha and mae def switchhh sides and the rest can be figured out 5:33 I think as a Sww fan having the marks being made by his sith master would make more sense … unlesss venestra fought him or Is evil herself and did a bad thing throwing him away and fighting , forever marking him 5:33

[@jppryer5982]

So I guess they’re saying Darth Vaders suit was a sensory deprivation suit , I realize Vader isn’t in the episode at all but I’m making the leap

[@Sifu-Myers]

I don't think so for Vader it's been said his suit constantly tormented him never letting him get any sleep or peace. That he only got a bit of it when he was in bacta. I think it's specifically the kurtosis that's doing this sensory deprivation not the helmet by itself

[@aguywholovesstarwars]

I don't think so because Vaders suit had eye holes, this helmet does not!

[@passiondono4692]

8/10 for me. Super excited to see more of Qimir, I like the fact that he can spare a moment or two and actually talk about why he doesn’t agree with the Jedi, he gives us more than “Well in my opinion the Jedi are evil!”

[@aguywholovesstarwars]

Yeah Qimir is an incredible new character! He's making me want to turn to the dark side lol

[@Avalon19511]

Mike I agree with you about Darth P, in fact if you watch the opening sequence with all the helmets, you see a dark side hooded helmet which could be Darth P or even Darth T

[@_SubSonic_]

100% wrong on Abeloth/The Mother and all the rest for that matter. She went and drank from the dark side fountain, the Font of Power, and then bathed in the Pool of Knowledge. The first gave her power, the second knowledge of all past, present, and future. And both corrupted her because she was mortal. Stop spreading bullshit stories.

[@SecondHSProductions]

I’ve questioned how old qimir is this whole show. He said he was a Jedi “along time ago” love the call back to the opening credits of the original movies. Also the m wondering what Sols motives really are. He seems to want to tell the Jedi about qimir

Wow some great storytelling and acting by all. People gave up on this series too too early. Wow. This is maybe the second time doing this series the actress who plays the Twins... Amandla really sold her character. She was good here. And Qimir... yeah I get that Jedis aren't perfect but when a person answers a question with a question... multiples times.... they are deflecting. And Qimir was deflecting a lot. He seem to want Mae as his two and he's tempting her big time. 9/10 for me.

Great breakdown video. I thought the episode was good but I didn’t like how often it switched between Osha and Mae. I also didn’t really understand the Bazil sequences, I feel like that could’ve been flushed out better.

[@acousticbutler]

Least dialog of all the episodes. Which is probably why I liked it more. Other than Basel sniffing around for no reason. The episode had more plot development than all the others combined. We should have been to this point in the story by episode 3. I have hopes they might land this after jumping the shark 6.5/10

This tiny island certainly doesn´t pass as a continent, does it?

8.5/10 for me! Loved the Sith training parallels to Yoda and Luke ! And Vernestra is definitely Qimirs master! But does this mean that Qimir is a lot older than we think???? Can’t wait to find out!

This would make all the toxic fans crying about canon violations look so stupid… love it!

[@pancrase9048]

Qimir wants to overthrow his master, he doesn't have to manipulate osha or force her to do anything. He gave her a choice, she could've just killed Qimir and taken the ship when the tides went down but she didn't, Osha's feeling of rejection from the Jedi and her curiosity towards Qimir and his motivations is driving her to the dark side. All the while Mae's anger,fear, and wanting vengeance towards the Jedi like Sol, after he tells her the truth could lead Mae to the light side.

[@officermurdoch4120]

They will definitely switch sides.

[@Secretsongs20]

@@pancrase9048 Also Sol told Osha he would tell her the truth, Mae told her she was brainwashed. Qimir seems to know what the truth is. She could be staying just to get answers from him. I like how he slowly drags her to his side, so she trusts him, before telling her what he knows, which will undoubtedly push her full on Dark force. Otherwise she could have just thought he was lying to her. He gradually shows her things she was refusing to see about the Jedi.

[@freakzeke6404]

Sol was a wreck after that massacre so of course he'd not be in the right mind to suss out Mae right away and meanwhile Osha is on a darkside enticing Last Jedi island paradise trip. I was thinking that it might be a different one the same planet of Ach-To but Bal' Demnic is plausible.

[@briandoty769]

He missed her walking up on him with intent to kill? Thought we covered that in Rogue One, but, whatever.

[@lucavignali7255]

Even though this episode was slower than the others, I still found it to be very enjoyable. The dynamic between Osha and Qimir and its potential development is of great interest to me. Qimir is the most intriguing character on the show right now, in my opinion. Additionally, I believe there was a scene in the Master Sol teaser trailer when we got a little glimpse of Qimir's spacecraft and Sol's ship in the asteroid belt. I believe that the pilot that is attacking Master Sol's ship could be Osha (in the trailer we could see for a few seconds the pilot) . But I could be entirely wrong here 😅😂.
