That is an interesting catch with Vernestra. Qimir also asked Sol if he remembers him. To which Sol answered, “I feel something familiar.” And Qimir said that he once was a Jedi and the Mesters under Vernestra believe that who Sol claims was Mae must have been trained by a Jedi. And he brings up the sensory deprivation helmets that hound Jedi use to sharpen their connection to the Force by letting it guide they lightsaber moves to block training lasers. What if Qimir was one of Vernestra’s old pupils? While the other Jedi are starting question whether Sol is using Osha’s trauma of what happened 16 years earlier to go on a killing spree, since it left him messed up too like Torbin and Kelnacca. BUT, Vernestra now suspects Qimir because sometimes Force users leave traces of their presence behind when emotions run high just as we heard echos of the skirmish. And maybe she recognized a bit of the style too. She probably isn’t thinking Sith, she has no reason too. Just that her wayward former Padawan had fallen to the Darkside and decides to start a path to vengeance.

A good analogy I read about the sith problem was this: The Vikings dissapeared 1000 years ago, so when someone commits a murder nobody is gonna assume its a viking, unless someone survives and directly says a Viking is responsible. Likewise the sith dissapeared long ago so unless there is a direct witness, which Qimir tried to avoid, nobody is going to assume the sith are back because a fallen jedi is a much more likely explanation.

I think they’re going to merge Bal’demnic and Ahch-To, it’s gonna be the same place…the first Jedi Temple would also be sacred to the Sith, because they splintered off from the Jedi even their roots come from this place and the location is lost to the Jedi Order. Luke finds it later and hides himself in the force, he has a red Kyber Crystal hanging on his wall, it’s in the outer rim, it looks identical…in my opinion, everything lines up to Bal’demnic and Ahch-To being the same exact place.

Yeah they are setting it up the motivation for covering it up by having the scene about politicians being anti-Jedi. Since some politicians wants to do some anti-Jedi legislation or whatever it is, it's terrible timing to reveal that many Jedi was killed by a force wielder. They also setup in episode 4 that the Jedi High Council are obligated to share things with the senate, so Vernestra will likely not share it with them.

One of my biggest issues with the show so far is that it struggles to stick the landings on episodes endings. Last week's was by far its best, but this week's episode felt like it needed an extra beat before cutting to credits. As it was, it would have worked better as the end of a much longer episode or even the season as a whole. As for why Sol doesn't check in with the Jedi, I honestly feel like too many people view character actions through the lens of being 100% logical at all times, as if every character is a Vulcan from Star Trek. Sol's entire team, including his Padawan, was just murdered. His past was called into question by The Stranger, and you can see the turmoil he's going through. He's clearly not thinking straight. People in emotional turmoil don't always do the logical thing, it's what makes characters flawed. This is my two cents on it, people may not agree, but that's my take.

Sol failing to check in has nothing to do with logic. It's expecting basic common sense from a character who's supposed to be a trained professional. Not only that but we spend an entire episode watching Sol try to fix a painfully contrived failure only for him to have a sudden change of heart just as help is about to arrive. He hadn't received any new information so why would he do this? The sad thing is that I'm not convinced we'll ever get a justification for his irrational decision-making.

I have enjoyed the whole series, I see the writing has been weak... but the last two episodes are trending upward in terms of quality. My complaints are short episodes, and the rapid pace of the villain unmasks. I dont think Qimir should have been unmasked until the end of the season.

Qimir is giving the exact same argument that every sith has given about why the dark side is better to follow than the light side. I'm disappointed that the writers couldn't come up with anything more interesting or convincing. It's ridiculous that Osha could even remotely buy into anything he's saying after what she's seen him do.

It’s the dialogue writing, cheap look/feeling, and acting that is really holding this show back. I mean the origins of the modern Sith and Jedi corruptions and cover ups could’ve made an extremely interesting show. Like wtf is happening

Ever watched the Prequels? This is nothing new for Star Wars

I told you for severel weeks that the Jedi has encountered fallen/dark Jedi often enough to go clue hunting for those rather than assuming its a Sith. Its part of what make the Sith be able to work in the dark for all that time. So its does not really matter if there is a Sith or not since they will basicly fold themselves to belive its a Fallen Jedi. J.

Genuinely how do you like this show for the amount of terrible dialogue, scenes, writing. What even is the mystery? It’s like if Sol said “what’s in this lunchbox?” You’d all be like “ooooh wow! So great!” Like literally nothing is happenin, character motivations are changing so much. This girl just lost her sister for 17 years and finds out the dark side used who trained her alongside seeing him kill tons of Jedi. Then checks him out 💀, doesn’t bother killing him because of the plot.

I find it funny how they would hear an entire jedi team wiped out and only send 4 jedi.

Your comment that it's an 8 hour movie got me thinking: the problem is that they're trying to treat it like an 8 hour movie AND a show at the same time. It lacks the flow of a movie, which I have difficulty thinking of a single show that managed to pull off the movie feel across an entire season. Maybe 24? It would be an interesting cinematic experiment to actually make an 8 hour film then chop it into hour(ish) long pieces.

I dunno, at this point I'm starting to get annoyed at the show already, because I feel like it wastes time deliberately. All these details that they throw in are basically meaningless without greater context, and the show constantly yanking that context out, seemingly determined to wait until last possible moment to reveal it. At this point I don't even believe that next episode would be a flashback. The show said this episode would be a flashback, and it did everything to stop master Sol from talking. Maybe a pipe falls on him in the opening and stops him from explaining, since this ship seems to be allergic to elaboration, malfunctioning as soon as Sol opens his mouth. And considering how literal and heavy-handed the show was with its "foreshadowing", at this point Master Sol might as well BE the other Sith in question.

When I heard Qimir's non-explanations about his past, being older than he looks, and having been a Jedi a a LONG time ago, I began wondering if he might in fact be a reimagining of aspects of EU character Set Harth, one-time apprentice to Darth Zannah, who fled the final confrontation with Darth Bane stealing the secrets of Essence Transferal that were thought lost with Bane's Death. This would track with his not quite having the vibe of a rule of Two Sith but still being around at this point. And could make for quite the twist when one of the actual current two Sith shows up.

Osha has clearly always had an underlying attraction to the darkside as seen by how she treated that butterfly bug in episode three. She then condemns mae for using the force to trap and harm the bug. In episode 4, osha is again clearly shown to be attracted to the bugs which were corrupting the forest. To me, it seems the bugs feed on the Darkside or are Darkside aligned. Osha also discovers the bugs are attracted to light sources. In episode 6, Vernestra is attacked by one of the bugs but unlike in episode 4, there is no light source that would have attracted the bug as Vernestra activates her lightsaber AFTER the bug starts its attack run. This tells me that Vernestra is giving off Darkside vibes which the padawan accompanying her can't sense. Let's not forget that in legends continuity, purple lightsabers are associated with those who come close and can touch the darkside without fully succumbing to it

"Maybe if your into Qmir, but probably not." Eck have you not seen how much thirst is surrounding Qmir.

Very good episode for set up, restarting the story after that wild action of last episode.

The reactions to this episode are wild. Some people are calling it their favourite and others easily the worst.

Qimir does not restrain Osha, while Sol restrains Mae. Show is going out of its way to make the Jedi look bad and the Sith look good.

Still not as bad as cutting your hair with a lightsaber 'when you have knives' and then no noticed the smell of burnt hair, that smell lingers. I get it though was meant for dramatic effect. But the two best story arcs are Sol and what he knows, and what's the go with the sith.

Azlin Rell. I know many havnt read the high republic, he was around 100 years before Vern, used the dark side to extend his life, etc. He came back for some reasons aftwr the path of the open hand had turned into Marchion Ros Nihil. The nameless were a threat to all users of the force, i actually would bet that tenebrous and plaugius if they were alive during this time (its actually within a few decades of when plaugius would have been picked up by his master after basically being produced like a prized dog) and i cant imagine the sith being down with something so dangerous lurking around. and thwre are many ways this could still tie into those novels. Im really enjoying this and kinda hoping they dont make them conflict. Id love for them to be able to reintergrate the plaugius novel, as long as Dave filloni doesnt have anything to do with it. Hes the mastwr of destroying characters as a cheap trick to stroke his own ego

One possibility that I know would upset a lot of people is that they don't outright resolve the conflict with Mundi's line from Phantom Menace by the end of the season and choose to explain it in supplementary material. Or we're getting a second season still.

Unfortunately, the second sith the showrunner keeps teasing might simply be Mae/Osha (whichever is which)

Vernestra Rhoe in the High Republic books is certainly a different character as here in the Acolyte. Vernestra became a jedi very early. She is loyal to the jedi...she isn't a shady character. Why can't they create their own character?

Qimir could have been Vernestra's padawan. During a fight, she may have accidentally hit him, and thought he was dead, and had to flee. 🤷🏻‍♂️ She has to recon the deaths, and showed her saber, so there could be a connection there. I prefer ep 5 the most. The sheer brutality of it. Then followed up by 6 as it shows Qimir is just at peace and matter of fact about the situation.

Been looking into some things and theres a thing called the doctrine of the dyad, and i mean its about twins and is a predecessor of the rule or two could this be an old sith cult trying to inact the doctrine of the dyad (i think the ultimate purpose of the dyad to transcend or something?) just wondering what you think of it? sorry if i missed some other comments or videos about this let me know if i have.

Whatever happened on Brendok better be worth all this (it won't). Also, re checkov's gun, they put pointless scenes in these shows all the time.

That sure was six characters split into 3 pairs talking about things that have already happened in the series for the whole episode. Episode 6 of The Mandalorian was when Din is roped into the Republic prison ship heist with Mayfeld, the pacing of this one is just, agonizing sometimes in comparison man!

I'd watch episode 6 again just to double check the dialog and see if there wasn't something else I missed. In particular the Qimir mentions the helmet provides sensory deprivation, but I wasn't sure if that had anything to do with the cortosis or if it just didn't have usable eye openings (which is didn't). If you remember, Obi-won stuck a helmet on Luke with the blast shield down to make him use the force instead of his eyes.

I can see Qimir being Sol's son, that he was given to Venestra as a pupil and when she found out Sol had a connection to his child she got rid of the child... or at least thats what I think they where hinting at.

Qmir showed Osha his engorged Cortisis vein!!!

3:13 is that image concept art from the 2003 show?

I like tuning in every week to hear your thoughts on the show, despite not watching it. Much love, Eck

the scars look like force lightning scars

My take is that that scar on his back is definitely from Vernestra's lightsaber. I'm thinking he was a former Padawan of hers, Sol was either the Padawan before or immediately after, which is why he said Qimir seems familiar. I also suspect that they weren't originally on May and Oshas home world for them. I think they were tracking Qimir and stumbled upon the girls, who Qimir was eyeing up for Acolytes and Sol trying to be a good Jedi went out of his way to recruit them knowing full well they were too old.

As someone who's generally liked the series and has defended it somewhat, this episode kind of pissed me off. I thought the directing was great and the story has compelling moments but then... the episode just ended. It wasn't even like a cliff hanger, it was like the episode just ended early.

The spa a way to short should be 45 to an hour and.just.fewer eps overall would help a lot I think.

I think Qimir is Sol's father, long lived because of the dark side. That's why he is eager to take Sol's apprentice the way the jedi took Sol. Either that of he is using a force glamour at all times except when he's wearing the helmet and he's one of the sith lords.

My theory is that Qimir was a Jedi and Vernestra was his master. He was seduced to the dark side by Sol and after some training Sol sent Qimir to kill Vernestra as his first test, but he was still relatively young, maybe 15/16. Vernestra defeated him thinking she’d kill him, hence the back scar. Then something happens with Sol where Vernestra erases his memories like what happened with Revan. I think Qimir wants Sol to remember so he can then fight and kill him because he feels Sol puts kids in the line of battle. So he blames Sol for what happened to him and even though he killed Jekie, he blames Sol. Alternatively maybe Sol and Qimir are brothers, there’s a few avenues this could take, the same as I mentioned or maybe Qimir was a baby when Sol joined the Jedi, but Sol can’t remember having a brother. Growing up, Qimir lived under Sol’s shadow, the son chosen by the Jedi at just 4, but then Qimir is taken on when he’s a little older and later rejected, perhaps even by Sol and he never told Sol he was his brother which pushed him to the dark side.

Found is intresting that her wip is Purple its a color that allways had Light and Darkness in

the 2 sisters are probably the most boring and bad characters in the show, and they are the protagonists...

I too hate OSHA

Also they find out this Jedi team is all but wiped out and they send a rescue team that is less than half of the original team’s numbers. Why the hell would you go into an obvious dangerous combat situation with less warriors?

There's absolutely nothing can make this crap interesting

The longer this goes on the more they are trying making the Sith a sympathetic cult and Jedi less and less noble I'm sick of the good guys becoming morally grey and bad guys being anti-hero's I've had enough deconstruction I'd rather see the universal themes of good and evil of mythology at this point I just can't get behind making the Sith the equivalent to just a misunderstood bad boy like a Edward in Twilight

i thought EU wasn't cannon... yet they keep using stuff from it... sounds like the writers are hacks who stealing from the past and can't do anything new

Qimir and Sol are easily the best thing about this series, do hope it is building up to a Plagueis reveal showing him find Palpatine at the end or something....

I actually liked this episode

I wonder if the whip scene was a red herring. That scar looks like it could have been done with force lightning

My theory is Qmir was Ventestra jedi apprentice and Venestra had to fight it him at one point, thinking he was dead she never thought he would emerge untill she learned about the recent events and thats why she went to investigate personally. Still not quite sure how everything will be a cover up though. Many jedi have died, my only theeoy on that is Sol will be blamed for all their deaths and then die himself

Jesus so there's literally an active plot to cover up the resurgence of a massively powerful Dark Sider, and you think it's reasonable for someone in the know to assume a decades-experienced Master literally just murdered a dozen Jedi for nothing? The very first of which he literally could not have been near at the time of her death? How much do you people have to fucking cope? Christ.

"Interesting" is a good descriptor of where this show is now for me. It's still not great but it's getting interested. I'm curious to see if Sol is gonna turn away from the order.

I did really like this episode... if the series was significantly longer. Like, yeah, we learned some details and saw some hints of what's to come. However, the story did not progress very much from the beginning of the episode to the end. The only real exception being Master Sol's hyperspace jump to a currently unknown location. There were some small movements in Osha and Mae with Osha at the very beginnings of being corrupted to use emotion as fuel as well as Mae being taught love and compassion by Sol that is the beginning of softening her emotions.

I came here just to ask what software did you use for your famed battle break downs

yesss the intro is back !!!

Timeline wise would it make sense for Qirmirs master to be plageueis? Maybe plagueis created mae and osha and maybe he kept Qimir alive for a while. it would line up with whats stated about him in the much memed legend of darth plagueis the wise

Qimir's helmet might not be his helmet. Not counting out she's about to be face to face with the original Sith to wear it. We know from the comics that putting on a Sith's mask is dangerous.

I’m actually invested in the show now. Complete turn around since EP 5

Mysterious Sith: "I am... Darth Plagueis!!" Eck: "Pleggis" Sith: "...No, Plagueis! Like a plague upon the Jedi!!" Eck: "Pleggis" Sith: "Look, stop that will you?" Eck: "PLEGGIS"

I don’t like how it took 4+ episodes to get decent. I do start to think this may be how Yoda finds out about the rule of 2. And one of the Jedi in this episode is definitely the old master of Swole Sith over here.

The "fallen Jedi" hypothesis they make after discovering the bodies makes absolutely no sense. Sol is a master but he's certainly not powerful enough to take on seven armed Jedi and come on top.

Think of it like this... Qimir did best them all and then at the end technically Sol bested him and would have killed Qimir had Osha not stopped him. So theoretically Sol was more than capable of beating a group of jedi knights especially since he has the rank of master.

they explicitly state in the episode that "Sol was the only one in the group who could have the power to do this", so yeah, I think he's strong enough, especially if he were to turn to the dark side with all the emotional baggage he has.

More importantly, why? Why would they automatically suspect Sol. Especially if he was the one who reached out. If he was a fallen Jedi wouldn't he just leave? Why clue the other jedi into the fact that he killed his entire team?

Someone needs to compile these episodes into a single movie

Showing the light whip could just be call back she has it in high republic books. And that seem made me happy because im fan of high republic

Haven't watched the show but low key looks the tiniest bit like Darth momins helmet

Already rewatched episode 6 trying to connect dots. Its not Ach to & Vernestra was likely Qimirs master who abandoned him.

Sorry my guy. Absolutely nothing interesting about this cringy, confusing, and lore breaking SW series. Disney is wasting money and fan's intelligence and time.

5:11 could their be a connection between the shape of his scars/wounds (like a Y shape) and the shape of the fold (Y shape) of her Jedi outer rob? 5:48

We need you to take the lead as leading SW KZreadr over theory I love your analysis

My read is Sol knew the Jedi wouldn't have let him go after Osha especially since he had Mae prisoner or at the very least wouldn't let him take Mae on such a mission.

as someone who didn't enjoy the episode, it's a breath of fresh air to hear from someone who did. This series is getting sooo much hate, and it's difficult to tell whether it's a genuine dislike, or simply a "I must hate everything disney produces." Despite not liking the episode overall, I did find parts of it quite interesting. Thank you for being a positive video in a swath of toxic negativity.

Thank you for being levelheaded and a great review unlike hating
