facts, but no match for qimir

@@darkscripterr 'you brought her here' was so cold.

​@@TheDreadStoneAcolite 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.

​@@TheDreadStoneThat helmet and arm armor is made from Cordosis metal it was in Star Wars Legends and in Star Wars Canon in Thrawn first book Where he was with Anakin on mision during clone wars. And in Vader comic during Imperium.

It has already been confirmed in behind the scenes content and interviews that he is a real Sith.

He clearly wasn’t trained by the Jedi, which you can see in the way he fights. He doesn’t obey the rules of lightsaber combat and fights fully like a Sith, with no honor and trying to use everything to his advantage. He is also very unpredictable. Dooku, for example, obeyed the rules of lightsaber combat since he was trained by the Jedi. So, Qimir had a master and was trained by the Sith, not the Jedi. I understand your perspective, but there are many signs that Qimir wasn't trained by the Jedi. First, his combat style is a significant indicator. Jedi training emphasizes discipline, respect for the rules of combat, and honor. Qimir’s fighting style is chaotic and ruthless, showing none of the restraint or structure typical of Jedi training. He doesn’t obey the rules of lightsaber combat and instead uses tactics that are characteristic of the Sith, who prioritize power and victory over honor. Secondly, if Qimir were a former Padawan who discovered the Darkside on his own, his fighting style might still retain some of the Jedi's disciplined techniques. However, Qimir’s unpredictability and willingness to exploit any advantage suggest he was trained to fight like a Sith from the start. The Sith train their apprentices to be cunning, merciless, and always to seek the upper hand, traits that are evident in Qimir’s approach.

it seems unlikely that Qimir discovered the Darkside on his own and aspires to become a Sith without formal training. Consider his combat prowess-defeating multiple Jedi effortlessly and executing advanced Force techniques like simultaneous Force pushes. Such abilities indicate a level of training and skill typically imparted by a Sith master, not self-taught. Moreover, Sith teachings are intricate and structured, focusing on power, ambition, and the manipulation of the Darkside. They're passed down through generations to ensure the legacy of the Sith continues. Qimir's ruthless combat style and desire for an apprentice align with Sith traditions, particularly the Rule of Two, where a master passes their knowledge to an apprentice. In contrast, Jedi training emphasizes discipline, restraint, and adherence to the Jedi Code. Qimir's actions, seeking an apprentice and displaying mastery over the Darkside, suggest he was part of a Sith hierarchy rather than discovering these skills independently. Therefore, based on Qimir's capabilities and motivations, it's more plausible he was trained by a Sith master rather than stumbling upon the Darkside on his own. His skills and understanding of Sith principles strongly indicate formal mentorship rather than self-discovery.

But? He thinks he's a sith. 😊

In episode 2, when Mae and Qimir were talking in the apocrypha shop, Qimir spoke to Mae about how the Jedi operate their galactic dominance in the name of peace, which led Mae into responding with "yeah I know, peace is a lie." Peace is a lie is from the Sith Code and is a philosophical teaching that stands as the antithesis of the Jedi. Qimir, in episode 4, was powerful enough to knock half a dozen Jedi back, one of whom being a Jedi Master, one of whom being a Padawan, and the rest of them being Jedi Knights. He dressed in all black, wielding a red lightsaber and is strong in the force - all of the metrics that Qui-Gon identified Darth Maul. In episode 5, Qimir referred to himself as a Sith. Leslye Headland and Manny Jacinto both have confirmed that he is a Sith Lord. Qimir is a Sith, at least until new information disproves it.

Not even close…. Not even in the top 10.

the Kylo Ren theme also plays multiple times during the episode if you listen closely

@@Cmoondog1 Right! I think they were being obvious that Qimir was the master, and now they're being obvious that he will become Ren.

Exactly. Mae thought that all the Jedi were going to die so she can't just hand herself in. If she does, she dies. If she stays and tries to apologise, she dies. If she runs, she has a chance.

8:38 had me laughing at my own reaction 😂 I don’t even remember making those sounds hahahah

Mae’s first 180 was confounding… then did it again 5 minutes later.. maybe it will make sense later, but her story is kind of taking me out of the episodes. It just makes zero sense 😂 Hope it gets cleared up soon, but already think they waited too long. But the rest of the episode was phenomenal

@@OEx25 the first 180 would have made more sense if they had spent more time establishing her personal motives regarding her sister. Every 'switch' since the first one makes sense to me.

🤣

I learned his helmet and bracer were made of a metal called cortosis which can short out lightsaber blades for a period of time. So cool to see!!

@@TheDreadStone That "special metal" is a mistake. Fortunately It won't be hard to decanonize Acolyte content :) If you can temporarily disable a lightsaber, it means every "elite warrior" in the universe must have that gear, and perhaps full armor. And maybe it's stupidly rare, and/or in a stupid place. And someone will invent a defense against it /sigh. It's sure to have a bad effect on future lightsaber use.

@@Locksdenthat “special metal” as you put it has existed before the Acolyte; it was in the Darth Vader comics and one of the Thrawn novels; it isn’t new

@@seangargan Thanks for the info. I still see it as a problem OFC, for the same reasons. But I like facts, so I "officially" withdraw the reference to Acolyte in my post above. (I'll remove it if you like OFC (just ask), but then your post might look weird :)

@@Icanthas Yay for KZfaq!!

She didn’t change her mind on turning herself in; her master showed up intent to kill her for betraying him….she was trying to flee

@@westonbyrne tbh I completely missed Kylos theme at the end!! After a rewatch I did notice it

Facts

**yawn** You're wrong but okay.

@@Thundertron5 I'm right, all I do is spit facts

​@@wigger2499 An "I'm always right" type of guy, huh? What exactly makes this a bad fight scene? It's probably the best one since Disney bought the rights to Star Wars!
