I love how she says "What is that?" instead of "Who is that" as if she's reacting to the Dark side that must be emitting off them. This is no doubt the first time they ever felt a sith.

"You know how I got these midichlorians?"

This guy is trying to 1 vs 8 in lightsaber duel. He's more wild than Palpatine.

*red lightsaber ignites* Me: You're going to die, and you're going to die, and...

Him slowly lowering himself via levitation is very unsettling to say the least. Almost like a phantom.

“Do you feel that?” “The cold.”

if the show remains accurate to history and lore, none of the jedi should be able to defeat this sith because they said obi-wan became the first jedi to defeat one in a thousand years. this show is only 100 years before revenge of the sith.

The Darksider floating down in the background was creepy.

I bet when the Jedi felt the dark side radiating from that Sith Lord, it must have felt colder than any blizzard.

did anyone else get horror-slasher movie vibes during the last 5 minutes of the episode? the walking in on a dead body slashed by a lightsaber, the lighting suddenly turning dark, and finally the masked killer appearing while a suspected character (qimir) is off screen? the last few minutes reminded me of the Scream movies lol

Jedi’s assemble! Sith:nope 😂

I will say, this scene is very unnerving by itself as the master just floats down silently and Osha just turning around and being frozen there in fear.

Whoever is under that mask has excellent body language. I love the way he casually flings OSHA aside, but with the Jedi, he’s incredibly fast and agile, wanting to disperse them immediately. Whether it was something the director/Headland asked him to perform or a choice by the actor, I commend them

yo that approaching sliently floating like some kind of spectre was truly scary

Dude this scene is amazing. The tension build up from Mae discovering the dead body and the Jedi surrounding her, the creepy music, the darksider aopearing in the background and out focus, him floating down and walking towards Osha as she's sweating in fear. It's really well done.

Say what you will about the show but they nailed the build up to The Master. Mae finds Kelnacca dead as night falls. Sol senses something and they see something floating to the ground. The Master slowly approaches them and without saying a word. Osha is scared as The Master stands inches from Osha. He ignites the saber, briefly tricking the audience that he killed her, then throws Osha with the force by barely moving his hand. The Jedi charge and pushes all the Jedi back. Perfect introduction. I only wish this was the first time we saw him. Like never show him in the promotion/trailers aside from his lightsaber. We only here his voice in the first episode. Then end of episode 4, their he is. The Sith or whatever he is was genuinely creepy and great cliffhanger.

The master is clearly that potions guy I feel

It’s almost like he slowly approaches Osha to study her. As if he’s wondering to himself, “why would my apprentice betray me for you?” I think he’s using the force to sense the bond he has with Osha as well as Osha’s connection to the force. I think once he comes to his conclusion he ignites his saber, almost like an act to show Osha the nature of the darkside and where in lies that power. It’s almost like he’s saying, “so you think the Jedi will protect you, stand aside and watch.” Then proceeds to obliterate the Jedi. The next episode is going to open with pure carnage.

It's been a while since Star Wars has introduced a truly creepy, ominous villain.

Now THAT is how you introduced a main villain. Both sides were travelling the hole episode to find kelnacca... only to find him dead. This guy was ten steps ahead of everyone and the fact that there wasn't any sign of struggle around kelnacca implies it was very easy for the sith to kill him. Now, take that alongside that entrance: the sun goes down and from the shadows comes this masked guy FLOATING behind osha... that defentely broke the show's childish tone. Perfect character introduction 🙌

Star Wars Theory doesn’t know Star Wars. Dooku was floating like this in the CW cartoon.

Why was this one minute better than the whole show

maybe the best intro for a force user in SW lore yet ... that was genuinely frightening the first time .... he's already one of my favorite Sith Lords ever ...

Alright as shit as this show is I'll admit, that scene of him floating towards Osha was eery and scary as hell

The thing you need to understand is that the Sith have so far spent the last nine hundred years accumulating dark side knowledge and power. This Sith Lord is the culmination of that knowledge and power. The Sith are just a century away from pulling off their Grand Plan and will grow stronger by then. This Sith Lord is not yet at the level of Darth Sidious, but he is pretty close.

I find it interesting that he doesn’t kill Osha. He’s revealed himself to the Jedi so obviously they have to die, but he seems interested in her. Perhaps as a replacement for Mae?

WOOKIE JEDI! aaaaand he's dead

I'm not going to lie but this sith is the creepiest thing I've ever seen in Star Wars movies

Smile-o Ren 💀

Hat off to Master Sol to have been the only one to sense the Sith arrival, all others just followed his reaction

What the eerie music that plays at 0:01? I swear I've heard it in another star wars movie just cant put my finger on it.

That sith lord is pure Dark side Evil......too powerful

Jedi: "Identify yourself!" Sith: "I'm Rey... Rey Palpatine."

Holy fuck he’s strong! He pushed all of them away at once 🥶

Who's here after Qi'mir revealed to be the Sith?🤔 (Episode 5 Was The Best So Far🔥👍)

He’s the apprentice trying to overthrow his master

Never thought Star Wars would be something I have to watch with the lights on

I think that the mask man is Qimir and he is only the apprentice, Mae is the Acolyte. The Master is probably one of the Sisters witches Also the actor of Qimir is almost in all the interviews they gave to the main actors. Its like he is as important as Osha and Master Sol in this show

Don’t care what anyone say this sith is a monster and this is the first time I seen a sith this scary in a while he reminds me so much of Vader but not more evil

When "Star Wars Theory" in his Acolyte stream complained about this and said he had never 'seen a flying Sith before,' and there was a 'first time for anything.' and how it looked like 'mary poppins' I wasn't expecting a... sinister slow-fall. Was he talking about something else? Lol we've seen stuff like this before. And it looks sick.

Do the jedi not think duh that lightsaber's red 😂👀

That was spooky asf😂

Fun fact: the metal head dude was inspired by Let me solo her. 😂🤦🏻

I thought this was really cool. He's like a horror movie character

0:34 Jedi : Identify yourself ! Sith : They, them, she. Jedi : Ok. Bi ! Sith : Bi ! THE END.

This scene you could LITTERLY show to someone and convince them it's from a horror movie or show.

HOLY CRAP BADASS ENTRANCE DUDE

Jedi: What is that? Sith: I'm that one who will put all of you in a tomb!!!

That entrance tho

scary-looking Sith and scary entrance.

"I am outnumbered... But you... are outmatched"

That entrance was so dope, Dooku had to emulate it a century later

Even tho the show isn’t that good , but you have to admit that entrance was crazy good

I'm just going to call him "zipper mouth". Jokes aside, really eerie and cool design for him.

0:10 POV: *you jaywalked past some fae's favorite bush and now they gotta get whimsical on your ass* (i know this is fr like a creepier version of when Dooku floats down in the cartoon but it also gave such whimsical forest folk vibes i love it XD)

..."what do you feel? - Fear my Master" ... "Good"...

Everyone watching Ep4 The wookies gonna fight *clap* The wookies gonna fight *clap* The wookies gonna... Oh he's dead...

I love the way they show him igniting his light saber for a moment it almost looks like he just stabbed osha

Something that adds to the uncanny aspect of the sith is the mask. Notice how creepy it is. It's not only designed to hide his face but also to inspire fear. That horizontal gap that outlines his mouth is both creepy and deeply scary. It's not only his dark side aura. It's his silence. His lack of words. He's demeanor. He knows when to advance and when to attack. He's is control.

"Enjoy your last moments of peace, for we have returned to take our revenge."

Ok, the last 5 minutes of this episode is the first solid part of the show so far, and actually preety good everything following Qimir falling in the trap was lowkey creepy asf

So Mae is suddenly a good guy? She murdered two Jedi but is a misunderstood hero?

This Darksider may just be an original character. I hope there is more investment into the character than Marrok was in the Ahsoka series.

Every second that I have seen Darth Smiling has been pleasant for my eyes, but please... WHY DID THEY HAVE TO LEAVE THE CHAPTER LIKE CLIFFHANGER!!! 😤 I NEED TO SEE MORE¡¡¡

0:50 You can see a White GLINT of the Sith's Left Eye through the Visor!

Everyone knew it was the drug maker lol

I know we’re all supposed to hate the Acolyte. BUT I have a rule: every zombie movie, no matter HOW bad, have 30-45 seconds of worthy footage in it. THIS is THAT but for the Acolyte. The Master Sith is cool, the way it just creeps in and then could care less about an army of Jedi. It’s cool.

Acolyte is the best Star wars story in a while

Chainsaw mam😂

Gotta admit.. thats was dope 👌

I wish they would have wrote the scene like this - the Jedi tell Osha to wait outside, they go in and find the dead Jedi (Mae slips out the back), all the while the mask person floats down and walks towards Osha. Sol senses this person (already in Oshas face) and as they rush out of the house to ensure Osha's safety, THAT'S when the red saber turns on. I haaaaaaaaaaaaate the fact all 8 of them just stood there and did nothing but basically say "I'll come over there if you make another step! Stop that you! Quit it!"

This dude is the potion guy. The potion dude is the real acolyte. The master gave him the task of killing jedi. Which explains why he took care of the wookie when Osha lost her nerve.

It’s going to be Palpatine’s mom. One of the space witches out for vengeance, then she space lesbians Palpatine as a son. & this was the creation of the Sith bc of what the oppressing Jedi’s did. That’s where I see this going.

best part of the series tbh

He's no Sith Lord, doesnt have the yellow eyes indicating their connection with the Dark Side, but he is a Dark Side Force user.

This hasn't been a great show so far but this was a great moment.

The floating down was an excellent introduction, but that little “force flick” really killed the character’s badass moment. The force push of eight Jedi also took the character from being someone who might be a challenge and a real threat to someone who’s strong enough to solo eight Jedi so effortlessly enough that the audience will now assume he’s just going to win every future fight by default. When the antagonist is written to be too powerful of an opponent, it suspends the audience’s belief in any hope of success.

Why is everyone referring to the Sith as a “he?” Zero chance Disney will allow the coolest character to be a “he.” Likely a she and possibly a “they.”

When the SITH Master Floats down kinda reminds me of Second Sister from Fallen order when she went to intercept Cal

NGL....The way this "Master" Flicked the mary sue is probably the funniest thing I've seen in awhile. XD

The basic thing they teach you as a young jedi is to create a force barrier so you can't be pushed or choked.

That music was perfect, what an amazing scene. People are underestimating just how great this was.

I want to go back to the times when we thought Jar Jar Binks was the worst thing to happen to Star Wars. Boy were we wrong.

This is one of the coolest intros in Star Wars, imo; the atmosphere, the way Sol senses their presence and slowly turns and then of course the way the darksider floats down. I don't believe the canon is ruined by this though; in the CW Micro series, Count Dooku had said that being a Sith could be immitated, and I think that's what's happening with this character, though they're clearly still extremely powerful; so far we've only seen the Mortis Son able to do a Force shove like that! Can't wait for the next ep!!!

7 jedi couldnt sense him

I'm sure someone probably mentioned it already but the dark side user levitating down wards looked very unsettling especially the methodic walk towards Osha.

It's a bit funny if you imagine Yoda against this "sith" and all these "jedi" together, I think the fight would last 10 seconds without Yoda even pulling out his lightsaber.

Whoever wrote this scene specifically KNOWS what they're doing. I hope they wrote the rest of the show, I refuse to believe this is the same person who wrote Episode 1-3.

I remember someone said to describe Dagan Gera was “if that’s a High Republic Jedi then I don’t know want to know what a High Republic Sith is like” And this is the answer. The era where the Jedi are their most powerful but also the Sith as well.

Did this is the real Star Wars. Way better than the 6 first episodes. Disney really made Star Wars into a new level of tv show.

"I hate the Jedi. They're coarse, and rough, and irritating, and they get everywhere"

Man, this scene was so good.

I did not notice them flying until now 🤣

Just the way he yeets her

The one reason why im watching acolyte is this Sith lord. I want to look how he will kill jedies and maybe fight with Yoda

that slow descent from the background is so good

It’s Darth Smiley aka Smilo Ren!

They fly now

Here's something to consider. Mae is only an acolyte and not a true apprentice. With that in mind, is this Sith really the Master or is he the Apprentice? If he is the Apprentice, he could be training Mae to do the Sith's dirty work like how Count Dooku trained Asajj Ventress.

Notice the eyes, and also how he approaches her much like Qimir did in the shop, not to mention he was nowhere to be seen once the jedi arrived... I think we are seeing a page out of knights of the old republic here and Qimir is indeed "The Master"
