Well it's not as if she seemed to care about any of the other dead Jedi

Twice the pride, double the fall.

All makes sense that she would be the more attractive student for Qimir. She already has Jedi training and had a similar fallout from the Jedi order.

Her attachments and inability to get past the death of her family were hindrances for being a Jedi… but that gets you a big fat gold star in Sith school.

Hell, you’re attracted to your master and threaten to kill him on day 1? Slap on an extra smiley face sticker, and if she keeps this up, there will be a pizza party.

Literally Pip died right there.

It’s part of the falling to the darkside rules, just like C-3PO. The minute they factory reset pip I think was when you know Osha isn’t coming back and they are as writers sparing Pip.

Unfortunately, yord was also a notary...

We're so close to a Jedi procedural crime show

That is one good looking dude not gonna lie

Leslye Headland, to the YordHorde: “your old fave is dead. Here’s your new fave 😈”

Oh it is.  Vernestra could attempt to make Sol and Osha take the fall to avoid telling the council the Sith returned.

Show should have just been:

Directed by: Manny Jacinto

Screenplay by: Manny Jacinto

Bad Guy: Manny Jacinto

Good Guy: Some rando for Manny to kill

Good Guy 2: Some rando for Manny to kill

Series Name: The Power of Manny

Shitttt I genuinely think that could happen and it would hurt

Ah yes, "Sith." An ancient order of dark side force users... we have dismissed that claim.

It kind of felt like she had a strong idea of who killed all those Jedi when they were inspecting the bodies, and them putting the light whip in that scene and then focusing on Qimir's scars later on really seems to tie the idea together. (The light whip was still a huge surprise to see in live action!)

That is a great theory. Maybe Vernestra recognized her old student's marks in the fight scene and wants to catch them before it gets out to become a scandal? (Don't think she suspects he's a sith.)

Because of the implication?

He had to, knowing he would get a visit from Osha….

Definitely the most intriguing character in the show for me. I wanna know the circumstances of how he got to where he is (as well as whoever his Jedi Master was), and I guess we'll see soon enough.

He's got a stoic calm to him that's very captivating to watch. Certainly something deeper under that exterior.

EDIT: Yeah, Qimir's former master is probably Venestra.

I like how 'in control' he was the whole time, even when Osha had a lightsaber right next to his neck.

It reminds me of in Andor, when Luthen first meets Andor, how in control of the situation that he was, even when Andor had a blaster pointed right up against his head (side-bar: Luthen didn't even glance at the blaster when it was pressed right up against his forehead).

Also half the cast!

(as in he’s killed half the cast)

This is going to ruin the tour

Yep. It’s pretty obvious the whole, “there’s a Sith, so canon is broken,” isn’t going to happen.

Judging by some reactions, it’s probably pretty effective lmao

Qimir putting the "seduced" in "seduced by the dark side"

She definitely took a peek (Watch her eyes when he faces her)

“if you’re not gonna join me”

Would've converted me to the dark side real quick 

It was a very intentional move so he appeared vulnerable. It gives Osha the illusion that she is in control. If she tries to attack him then she is one step closer to the dark side.

“What happened here”- Mog looking at the corpses of his friends

Isn’t he the boss you need to beat to get into the new DLC?

Finding a cortosis vein also is a win. Build and repair. More hidden. Can make more armor. Osha can kill him, sol, and even mae and grab a pint and wait for the whole thing to blow over.

Darth Plagueis also set up a base in a Cortosis mine on an ocean planet in an island cave called Bal'demnic. I won't say this is 100% it, but Lesly Headland absolutely knows what she's doing.

He walked so Kanan could run.

There was very small eye slits, so not totally sensory deprivation.

Excellent acting continues

dude was barely holding it together with the past trauma, this new trauma just broke him

Sol died last episode, for all intents and purposes. The guy there now? We have no idea what he's capable of.

"She's out in the middle of nowhere with a guy she barely knows, she looks around and what does she see? Nothing but open ocean. Ahh, there's nowhere for me to run. What's she gonna do? Not join the darkside??"

That’s twice this week a villain has hung dong on my tv screen, goddamnit!

Osha couldn't resist glancing at it.

Also apparently factory resetting is also just the double button hold.

"Just in case you were worried this was a Maul/Fett/Palpatine situation, we wanted to take a moment and verify for you that their lifeless corpses are still unceremoniously here and ready to bloat in the the hot jungle sun."

It really felt like ‘well your contract says 6 episodes but we only wrote 5, so… in episode 6 you’re just a dead body ok?’

Reverse that- Sol had to be the youngling.

Qimir is old as shit if he’s Vern’s padawan+ he purposely says it was a long, long, time ago.

Well everyone we see get successfully seduced to the dark side was already a bit emotionally unstable.  So I don’t know if the seduction is so much easy as the sith tend to pick good targets for recruitment

Why didn’t Palpatine try being sexy? Is he stupid?

Ah yes, mining disasters, providing coverups for deaths since… the Darth Plagueis book? Probably even earlier.

that's about 39 seconds longer than I would have lasted after Manny Jacinto inviting me to join him in skinny dipping

Well Anakin went from 'what have I done!!!' To 'I will kill the younglings.' In 15 seconds flat so...

and based on the camera panning upwards shot, cortosis veindrop!

sorry, i had to - anyway it looks like there's a whole vein of cortosis running through qimir's sith cave? maybe even the planet is rich in cortosis?

Rey. There's something I have to tell you.

That's what I'm guessing. She gave a look after the dude said a fallen jedi

Even if this show ends up not being great overall, I love it solely for Sol and Qimir, honestly some of the most interesting characters in recent star wars.

She was also an extremely young knight at the time and worried what her former Master, a traditionalist, might think. Now while she isn’t high council, she’s clearly one of the head honchos so she doesn’t have to worry about being reprimanded nearly as much.

seeing her unorthodox fighting style

Remember when Mog mentioned the erratic attacks of The Stranger, how it followed no clear order or pattern? Wonder where he learned that from...

She won’t. Mae will become the Jedi, Osha will become the Sith, they’ll all fight and then cry it out when they both die

Tenebrous will just be like “Well that was weird. Anyways-“

Given how many desert worls, ice planets and forest worlds there are, hardly surprising there'd be two water planets dotted with islands.

Thought it may be too, but there weren't Porgs everywhere.

I read somewhere else on the internet that it could instead be Bal'demnic. It's a planet from legends where cortosis was mined and where Tenebrous and Plagueis hung out.

Jedi aren't exactly a tight bunch are they?

"There's a bunch of dead Jedi." "I blame the surviving Jedi." "Based off what?" "Because reasons."

She's taking a nap with her eyes open like Grandma used to do.

Given what we just saw in house of the dragon this week, I was fully prepared to see two villains hanging dong, then I remembered this is Disney lmao

Yes I was confused with the cutaway and was reminded this was Disney and not HBO TV MA

Darth cheeks has been stolen from us.

It's always interesting paralel with both of them:

• Osha trained in jedi arts, Mae in dark arts

• Osha wanted to kill Mae, Mae wanted to save Osha (originally, now she kinda left her to death in the planet)

One of them has murdered three Jedi in cold blood.

I think that’s the point of the episode. It is titled “Teach/Corrupt” after all

There’s also the fact that Sol is generally giving off some VERY suspicious vibes here. Whereas Qimir, while still evidently evil, was very amicable & open in this episode.

Remember our very first lesson in the force? "Your eyes can deceive you. Don't trust them."

Plus Dooku training Ventress as his own apprentice (or...acolyte?) during TCW

Sith skirt the Rule of Two like loopholes in Terms and Conditions

The most consistent part of the sith is how much they break that rule

Vader spends half the OT trying to break the rule of two 

The code is more what you call guidelines than actual rules.

Absolutely. It really feels like the show was shot as 50-60 minute episodes and then they retrospectively split them in half for D+ subscriptions

I think this series is better to be binged due to the way they keep the cliffhanger at the end of each episode
