Why Qimir Constructed His Lightsaber to BEAT Vernestra (Secret Weapon)

Qimir was a good antagonist. If they decide to make season 2, they should just put the twins in the background (or even get rid of them) and focus on him and Vernestra trying to find him. And show his backstory. Obviously we know he can't survive in the end but it would at least make for a decent story.

[@stop736]

Absolutely…the twins story should be considered complete. They could maybe mention them in the next season just briefly to explain how they died or disappeared. I couldn’t care less. But that season needs to be put in the past and moved on from so they can tell the stories that people want to hear. Maybe a time jump where you only see Qimir get killled and the rest of the season is about Tenebrous and Plaguies and maybe even Plagueis and Palpatine meeting in the early years. Those are the stories that should be told if you want to talk about pre-Phantom Menace stuff. This last season should just be treated as a one-off. A very long yet insignificant part of the whole Star Wars story. That’s just my opinion…sorry for chirping your ear off. 😂

[@_Seru_]

@@stop736 The main two good parts about season 1 were Qimir and action scenes. And they established his connection with Vernestra. We have some potential there. They can kill Osha in the first episode (maybe Plagueis finds out about her and forces him to kill her - or he kills her himself, assuming Qimir is his apprentice) and leave Mae with her erased memories, then tell a proper story about characters who deserve it.

[@cloudmaster182]

Oshas definitely gonna stay. Mae is helping find qimir. Sorry guys. They'll be a B plot

[@noahblevins9569]

​@@cloudmaster182 Nah, the actress was fired. They can kill her offscreen and keep the story going with Qimir and his former master.

[@DragonZord979]

Agreed. The show should've just been about him from the beginning anyways tbh. He's a far more interesting character than Osha and Mae

[@camconvo]

Somehow…you make this show better by summarizing. Keep it up, love your channel.

[@ryanbobadilla2527]

I say if The Acolyte does get a season 2 they drop the creative team, end the Mae and Osha story in like 2 episodes and have the rest of the series be about Qimir hunting down Master Vernestra.

[@_Seru_]

Yeah. Qimir has a lot of potential, if the story is about him, I hope they make season 2. He deserves it.

[@thedude925]

So you want Qimir to abandon his whole motivation and character? He wants an acolyte. He is upset with his current one focusing on revenge. In the conclusion he gets an acolyte that meets his standards. And then you want him to toss this acolyte aside and go on a revenge mission?

[@ryanbobadilla2527]

Even though the quamir/ vernesta story was a back story, it was a lot more interesting than the acolyte story line. I think the fall of a Jedi from the high republic era to the dark side is a stronger plot than what we were given. It is more of what I was hoping for from the acolyte.

[@azharuddinzahaur7683]

Qimir was one of the best character of this show. I love his unpredictable fighting style, how he incorporate his cortosis helmet and gauntlet into his fighting style as well as his shoto saber. This guy would give any sith or jedi a run in a duel

[@cristoffercosta693]

the best thing they could do is a 2nd season not written and not directed by Lesely Headland, to repair this shit they put themselves into. Let's just go forwards in time for some years,one of the things could be Qimir vs Vernestra where Qimir kills Vernestra so no one could find out about her lies in the end. Then let Qimir live as Plagueis pupil until Plagueis finds Palpatine and starts training him, in which Plagueis sees so much potential he wants to find out if Palpatine could take down Qimir and that´s when he dies - killed by Sidious. That could be a great story! Let George Lucas continue this story as a consult and get rid of Kathleen Kennedy.

[@Orangeredufo]

This hadn’t occurred to me until I read your title. Then I immediately remembered Luke’s shoto. Well done. This makes perfect sense if Vernestra was his master.

[@theforcedragon3781]

I hope if we get a second season it’s more about the Sith and maybe a young Palpatine. And Dave would be able to have a better input on the show

[@stop736]

That’s just one more example of how bad this show’s writing was in my opinion. When your show needs to be explained even for basic things that should have been explained in the show if it were written by even an average writer. I think that’s a good sign that you did something wrong with your show. Like we have Leslye Headland, or whatever her name is, having to come out every time an episode of her show is released so she can explain what the hell she was thinking about while writing a certain scene or entire episode. To me that tells me that you must’ve done something wrong and it is clear that your audience is not grasping what you’re saying or doing even because your show isn’t telling a coherent story. How can they not see that it’s a problem if you need to do that? 🤷🏻‍♂️. Seems pretty obvious…🤔

[@azharuddinzahaur7683]

This show wasn't great but sure wasn't as bad as some of you are claiming it to be. The only reason why she had to come out and explain stuff was because of how much the toxic fans were making an issue over everything. Give examples man. What needed to be explained for basic things?

[@_Seru_]

Yeah. The most annoying part of season 1 is that there WAS potential with Qimir there. He should've been THE acolyte and the show should've focused on his backstory, his rise as Sith apprentice and him trying to find a way to kill his master (then they could put the twins for one episode, show a short version of their story and make them some unimportant, secondary characters - at best) on top of Vernestra trying to hunt him down. It's frustrating how they created a genuinely good antagonist but did next to nothing with him. If season 2 is focused entirely on Qimir, I'm all for it.

[@sipmadedre2890]

I think this show takes place while plagues was a apprentice

[@ryankwon8785]

If the Mae & Osha actress is confirmed to be fired, then the beginning of Season 2 could start with Plagueis dissecting Osha and Mae’s corpses for his midichlorian experiments to Qimir’s horror. Vernestra is injured but still hunting Qimir.

Light wip breaks immersion. How can plasma energy be made to flex like a wip? Energy like this goes in a straight line. I could see it if the plasma went along some material that itself is like a wipe. If the light saber energy can indeed work this way, then does that nit mean light nets, hooks, bolla, and so on?

[@ozmozis6073]

For those of us, who saw through the Acolyte 'hate' based on impatience to tell a story, or the simple act of enjoying the reveal, the ending was well deserved. The Two parts related Vernestra was that she sensed her padawan and said 'You?! You're alive?' to Qimir.. Wondering what their last encounter was now. Also did Jacki put Qimir as such a disadvantage, that he had to use his Shodo weapon? She was very aggressive and Qimir was struggling to keep pace.. Of the twins, was Osha the stronger one all along?

[@rboss5919]

I have a feeling Qimir isn't a Sith. I think he may even believe the Sith were destroyed a 1000 years ago, but discovered Sith readings or a holocron. So hes seeking the power of 2 to gain power to have the freedom to wield his power however he wants, but doesn't realize the implications of his actions because the 2 actual Sith at this time, Tenebris and Plagueis, are now looking to exterminate him for almost exposing the existence of the Sith. That is why Plagueis is shown to be spying on him from the shadows instead of Plagueis just in the open looking at the ship leave. I believe Qimir isn't trained under Plagueis at this time because look at his 2nd fight against Sol. This time around without the surprise that he had before that the Jedi didn't think there was a dark side user, he now struggles against a prepared Sol. Sol kind of handles Qimir with ease this time. Also this is how Plagueis discovers the deposits of cortosis on the planet and also the power to create life from the vergence within Osha.

I dont really think Qimir was struggling. I think he was giving Sol the upper hand intentional since he knew that mae killed sol in the vision and he needs this to take her more to the dark side.

Cortosis as a means of cutting one off from the force is silly. The force doesn't just run through your head. It runs through your entire body. Your brain might process your senses, but it isn't the center of the force or where midi-chlorins 'hang out' in a life form. Might it keep a force user from sensing your thoughts? Maybe, but again, the force flows through the body. Once you begin an action, it will create ripples that can be sensed. In short. I'm not buying any of the characters from the Acolyte. It's a bad Star Wars story. Rushed and pushed out without good editing or thought.
