YIKES.... Acolyte Episode 5

Disney and Lucasfilm finally remembered how to do a lightsaber fight and that lightsabers were deadly.

Mae: "Attack me with all your strength" Mae: "My sister is more important so I'm turning myself over to the Jedi" Mae: "Infiltrate the Jedi by impersonating my sister and leave her behind" I think the discount Night Sisters somehow created 3 beings from the force since Mae clearly has split personality disorder.

Mae is a complete psychopath, Sol should be able to see right through it.

As a person who works construction, not making OSHA a villain is a missed opportunity

Give Jecki credit, the actress did a great job using two sabers.

The real master will cut down Qimir for breaking the rules. So lore will be maintained.

Respectfully, I think you guys got it all wrong. First of all, the Sith didn’t reveal himself as a Sith, he said “the jedi would call me a Sith”. Also, yes Ki Adi Mundi did say they haven’t been around for generations, but I don’t think he or the rest of the jedi will ever find out about the Sith. Sol didn’t contact the jedi about it because she doesn’t want to reveal whatever dark past he has (most likely how he invaded/killed the twins’ family). As far as the jedi know, Sol and the others were chasing Mae, and they’ll believe the jedi deaths were because of Mae. THATS why ki adi mundi believed the jedi haven’t been around… I don’t think he’ll ever find out. My guess is that Sol will die soon, and the jedi will never be informed. IF Osha does survive and/or try to warn the jedi, they won’t believe her. Save the harsh commentary for when the story is done being told!

"I am going to kill Jedi, unless my sister is alive, then I'm going to be friends, until I realize that I don't like my sister, but of course I think the Jedi are cool, but hold on, I hate my sister, so I'm going to actually be okay with the Jedi, but wait a minute, I'm going to become my sister."

I firmly believe that the fight choreographers and tech crew in this episode did a good job. At the same time a bad script and a bad plot makes for a bad show.

I still think Qimir is going to be Tenebrous’ failed apprentice before he finds Plagueis

6:07 I am 100% certain they will not retcon Koril into Darth Plageuis. Yes, the Plageuis novel was written and released prior to the Disney acquisition of Lucasfilm and this perhaps means the events of said novel may not be the same and may be different now, but he as a male character is still canon. We know this because of the book "Star Wars: The Secrets of the Sith" released in 2021 where Palpatine himself says, "My master, Darth Plagueis, had served his purpose. I struck him down, claiming his place as the one true master of the Sith." This confirms that Plageuis is still male, not female, so it can't and won't be Koril.

Stu ranting about Qimir is hilarious. "he called himself a sith!" 😂

The whole thing with Jecki not “acting like a Jedi”, remember when Ahsoka blindly was leading her entire platoon into a trap even after being told by Obi Wan and Anakin, and had to legitimately be ordered to stand down, AND even then Anakin and Obi wan had to go stop her themselves. Yeah, at the end of the day padawans are children and get ahead of themselves. There’s a reason Jecki wasn’t a knight yet, she wasn’t a “perfect jedi”.

James Luceno said when he wrote the Plagueis novel he asked Lucas what race Plagueis was and Lucas said he was a Muun. Plagueis being a Muun is canon. It came straight from George Lucas.

That fight has to set a record for lightsaber fight, in number of dead Jedi and broken lightsabers

The biggest suprise of the decade. The sith is exactly who we thought it was

Episodes 4 and 5 should have just been one long episode

I think Yord made a good Jedi Sentinel. Hes basically a temple guardian. A protector. Everything he did made sense.

4:41 I don't believe this "betrays" anything at all about the Rule of 2. If Qimir is indeed an apprentice to a Sith Lord, then perhaps he is a disgruntled apprentice who is sick of having to hide his dark side nature and wants to reveal that the Sith are still here so he is striking out on his own and the "acolyte" he searches for is someone who can become his own apprentice and who shares his view of no longer hiding from the Jedi. That seems like a perfectly reasonable and plausible explanation to me. Also, Sol not telling the Jedi would be his mistake but also not a mistake as far as the lore goes. It's pretty clear that he's already covered something up before, the incident on Brendok, so it's likely he'll cover this up too in some way, and he'll do it out of fear but also ignorance and arrogance, traits that the Jedi have developed during this time of peace. As Vernestra said to him, revealing a Sith has returned would cause panic and fear in the galaxy if it became known but also weaken the Jedis position of being seen as defenders against any and all force-related threats to the galaxy, so Sol would fear revealing this for this reason. He also probably would be ignorant to believe Qimir was lying about being a Sith because his arrogance would lead him to believe it's impossible for them to return.

Qimir went from skinny to buffed as hell like groundskeeper willie. 🤣
