Acolyte Episode 6 Breakdown: Star Wars Explained | Review

Sorry had to re-upload due to copyright issues! did you enjoy episode 6?

Qimir has already become the most fascinating SW character (for me at least) in a long time because he's not a demonic-looking, glowing-eyed Sith stereotype. He may have good reasons for going down his path, and I can't wait to see how his story unfolds.

Excellent excellent excellent. Always look forward to your breakdowns and analysis- none of the silly or fanciful theory stuff that other channels churn out. Good cineliterate readings of each episode- something sorely lacking elsewhere.

Look up Imri Cantaros...he was Vernestra's Padawan who everyone thought died at Starlight Beacon. He was eventually rescued, but he went rogue on more than one occasion and gave into the Dark Side to win fights. He was from Genetia, and had very strong force empathy. If Imir is Qimir, that helmet would be how he controls random emotions from affecting him...letting him be alone with the force. Just an idea.

I like the episode I like the series I don’t get all the hate and the toxic fans

Amazing to find another SW channel that's not a fire-hose of negativity. Getting to a channel like this on youtube is like stepping over dog-turds on my way to the shop in the morning (my local area sucks lol.) Keep up the great content lad. This is the good stuff.

I would really like it if Plagueis is in the show and he’s a Muun, just like in the lore. I think it would be a big mistake if they made Qimir Plagueis.

My best guess is that Qimir was indeed a Jedi padawan, most likely Valnestra's although not necessarily, but her light whip is probably what caused his scars. He was very powerful in the force, but, either on his own, or goaded on by a dark side user or even Sith (who was hiding in plain site, like Palpatine), was tempted by and eventually fell to the dark side, and was kicked out of the Jedi order and banished, after doing something terrible that resulted in the scars that we see, most likely caused by Valnestra. And, because it was believed that the Sith were extinct and no existing dark side users were a match for the Jedi, he was allowed to go free. Upon which he was recruited by a Sith master and made their apprentice, which he may still be, or not, but where he learned his dark side skills, which can't be learned on one's own or from witches. Chances are that he and his master were on Brandok when the events of E3 took place, and they were the mysterious hooded figures in the back in the induction ceremony, and were there to monitor and recruit the twins. And, when they saw that the Jedi were about to take one of them away, they and the witches attacked the Jedi, who were forced to defend themselves and ended up killing nearly everyone there. The Sith escaped, probably separately with Qimir taking Mae, who didn't know about his master, while the Jedi escaped with Osha. Qimir then spent the next whatever years training Mae, and Sol and the Jedi trained Osha, but not for the past 6 or so years. The real question is who Qimir's master is or was, if they're still alive, and if Qimir is still a Sith, or was himself cast out of the Sith order for being reckless or trying to murder his master. Probably his master is either Tenebrous or Plagueis, he didn't succeed in killing him, assuming that he tried, and has been trying to form his own Sith order, which ends up being the Knights of Ren, sort of the dark side version of a Mafia crew of unmade men hoping to someday become made men and perhaps even the Don. An alternate take is that Qimir is himself Plageuis, but he's not a Muun, so unless he's also a shape shifter or they decided to change that, it's not likely. So I'm going with either current or former Sith apprentice, trying to form his own Sith order, with first Mae, and now Osha (he hopes) as his apprentice or acolyte, which ends up being the Knights of Ren. I don't think that Osha will fall to the dark side, though. She'll clearly be tempted, but like Ezra, Luke and others, she'll resist. What will happen to her and Mae, I have no idea, but if there are to be future seasons, they'll almost certainly be a part of it, or else this story basically ends here.

Bassell will be revealed to be the sith lord

It’s nice to see another positive channel. While I don’t think the Acolyte is that great I don’t hate it either, all the negativity I’ve seen from the bigger channels is quite draining.

Quimear was the parawan of the green headed Jedi with the whip marks on his back is my guess

I like the show putting into question that jedi are not perfect infallible can be corrupt good is not absolute neither is evil. The force I favored sith to bring balance to the corruption of the Jedi with its close ties to government. Likewise the force favored the Jedi against the imperialism. Maybe the path of the force is a neutral path. Glad the show is showing a broader perspective of the sith beyond just absolute evil.

I personally don't see Qimir as Darth Plagueis, I see him as Darth Venamis potentially, but he doesn't really act the way the sith do during this time because hes not being very secretive and wants to use his power more openly, and I think this validates the theory of Qimir starting the Knights of Ren

Even though he wasn't human he exhibits Plagueis characteristics with his ability to heal and his wise philosophy statements......Darth Plagueis the wise!!

Palps is in this episode. He is the one that tells Vestra about the team being lost.

He’s venomous, in hindsight him making a poison was a hint perhaps

No one cares that Plaguies is a Muun?

I sense that padawan Mog is working for the dark side from inside Venestra’s office . He was too quick to throw Sol under the bus. loving the intrigue of the series, only crit is episodes too short, but only because want to see more

The signal issues buddy had supports your theory of being far away. I support the plagious theory

I really hope this is not Darth Plaguies - he has to be a Mu'un.
