DARTH PLAGUEIS IN THE ACOLYTE

If Darth Plagueis actually allowed his acolytes/apprentices run around like this so blatantly, Sidious should have referred to him as "Darth Plagueis The Stoopid"

Saw Darth Plagueis in the title. So I clicked.

Tenebrous and Plagueis be like "hmm some funny stuff going on in the galaxy"

I feel like Acolyte is destined to be a footnote.

What if somehow Palpatine survived?

Plagues to young Palpatine: Have you ever heard the tragedy of Smilo Ren?

He IS the young Darth Plagueis. Why? Here the arguments: 1. HIS LOOK a) Plagueis doesn´t has to look like a Muun. Why? "According to Darth Sidious' book, The Secrets of the Sith, Plagueis discovered a form of immortality through transference, a Force power that allowed the user to transfer his consciousness to another body, essentially using bodies as vessels." Because Plagueis want to learn about the dark side and immortality, it is possible that he later uses the body of a Muun as a vessel. b) His helm material: cortosis From the Plagueis novel: "Darth Plagueis and his Master Tenebrous are in a cave on the outer rim to examine its natural cortosis deposits, which are being mined. Tenebrous plans to use the cortosis´ natural resistance to lightsaber blades in his future attempts to overthrow the jedi." c) Plagueis also has 2 red lightsabers (on some artworks -> could be an orientation). 2. HIS CHARACTER c) Gain knowledge / wisdom (free, without any restrictions/rules) His character is written as a person (Darth Plagueis Novel -> as orientation), who wants to gain more knowledge about the dark side. He doesn´t respect and doesn´t like rules Quirim always talks about the restrictive rules of the jedi. That is a real problem for him. He wants to think completely free without any restrictions. He also kills his master in the Novel and break the rule of two. d) Killing Jedi He wants to kill jedi (maybe the beginning of ideas like order 66 later?) e) Search for an own apprentice He talk about his need to search for an own apprentice. Thats important for him. Plot of the novel: "Plagueis has just murdered his master, become the dominant Sith so he begins to look for an apprentice of his own to advance his goals". f) He kills Yord with what? neck breaking Novel Plagieus: "The Muun tells his Master that he will put an end to the old order of the Rule of Two before breaking Tenebrous' neck and observing his dying body through the Force in an attempt to manipulate midi-chlorians." These aspects are written based on ideas from the novel in my opinion.

The Jedi council didn’t believe Qui Gon when he said he encountered a sith and it wasn’t until after he died that Yoda and Mace agree it was a sith. It’s not just bc he has a red lightsaber.

Ki Adi Mundi is Darth Plagueis calling it now

When this guy said that he is a sith I immediatlely thought of the 2003 clone wars, where Asajj says that she is a sith to Dooku, and the count just laughs.

Haven't seen acolyte, but from the snips, the actor and his helmet / costume is done really well. It's like finding a gem in a bucket of coal.

This is why Theory is the GOAT, finding interesting scenarios where there aren’t many!!!!!!

He’s too wise to be in the Acolyte

Unfortunately there is no way that Disney knows that. They included fucking Mundi before mf was even born...

I believe Qimir is the Acolyte himself, or at least a former one. If this is set a 100 years before episode one, it could mean a couple of things. A. They plan on introducing a new set of Master and Apprentice, which chronologically would have to be the Master and Apprentice before Tenebrous and his master. or B: Tenebrous and Potentially Plagueis are currently the two Active Sith. In which case Qimir could be an Acolyte for Tenebrous. Why? Because Tenebrous is canon and in legends was Sith Lord for a century and was active during this period. Also in legends he tried replacing Plagueis. Though if Qimir's master really is Tenebrous there's also a chance QImir is Tenebrous's first attempt at having an apprentice. An Acolyte is basically someone who 'gets a taste' of the dark side of the force and from then on its up to a master to actually teach them the ways of the Sith. Qimir has only shown to be able to force choke people, which as we've seen throughout star wars anyone who wields the force can do it if they are angry enough. That leads me to think he hasn't fully been taught in the dark side, and now the question is why? which leads back to the theory he is a either an active Acolyte or potentially a former/failed Acolyte. The fact he tried to keep hidden, but the second he got discovered he openly admitted to being Sith, shows me that he had some kind of respect for the rule but ultimately doesn't care about it. I would imagine his master is the one that put that kind of notion in his head. Another KEY point is the fact he hid his identity from his apprentice. In my opinion his reasoning was one of three things. 1. Qimir didn't want his master knowing he had a pupil on the chance she was discovered. 2. He did not want his FORMER master finding her and torturing the information out of her, so that he can find Qimir and tie up a Sith loose end. 3. Qimir doesn't know/never knew who his Master was because, like I said in the beginning, Qimir is actually the Acolyte being hidden from a master or another apprentice, and not Mae. Or Qimir could be the first apprentice of Tenebrous and ends up just being a failure or killed. Basically my point is I believe Tenebrous is the actual Sith Lord in the background and Qimir is either his Vader or his Maul. Appreciate it if you actually made it to the end! EDIT: IN legends Tenebrous went to great lengths to secure Cortosis mines. AFter his Death Plagueis lost interest in the whole deal. It would explain why Qimir has Cortosis armor. EDIT 2: Tenebrous instilled the idea of the Rule of Two being useless on Plagueis as stated in Plagueis's novel (which is legends I know). It would play into the idea the Qimir could be his first, immature and reckless, apprentice.

I feel like the writers dont know who darth plagues is and have never heard of him before

My fear is that not only will plagueis NOT be used ...but the 'big bad sith' will actually be revealed as one of the surviving witch mothers. Then they retcon the witch mother is the reason the sith came back after all those 900 or so years. Basically this mother wants revenge against the jedi so she makes sure the sith continue until we get palpatine. This way kennedy gets to rebrand star wars away from Lucas and this would play into that. Really ...REALLY hope im wrong.

They'll pull a Kenobi and everyone that survives promises to never tell anyone about this sith

Thank you Theory, for acknowledging that "okay, this all happened. Let's theorize". I like this alot better, you are actually curious now how they are going forward, instead of just blatantly being furious about it. I like this calm demeanor better and analyzing more. Like you said before, you can hate it or love it. But do so out of respect for others. And you make a valid point, I am also curious how they will "cover up" this massacre of Jedi. My theory is that, in fear of a political judgement from the Republic they will cover it up. Or just refuse to believe that the Sith returned. Like Windu said that he questioned the Sith returned without them knowing it. Perhaps they still firmly believe that the Sith will build up an order like they did in the Old Republic era. The Jedi feel so strong now that the rule of 2 is feels like a unlikely theory that will never overthrow them. The refusal of the Jedi to adept to the situation and the willingness of the Sith to do so, in combination with peacetime makes the Jedi stagnant and blind. I think you can compare Mundi to the flat earthers, so convinced of himself that he refuses to acknowledge the facts. But we'll see how it pans out.

The writers of the show watching your video and thinking "shit, why didn't we think of that ending".
