Mini Series Qimir the Stranger, who some may call a Sith and may or may not be a former smuggler

I can abide mass genocide, but I cannot abide transphobia. That’s why he was irredeemable.

wait that isn’t even transphobia. That’s just palpatine being stupid.

that would be like me saying Marie Antoinette is actually a guy. That isn’t even mean it just makes me look incredibly stupid.
Yes I know I am reading to much into a joke

 

Shouldn't the title change to Qimir The Current Sith Lord ?

 

Almost wanted to put something to that effect in title since his role as Sith was leaked last year lol. But spoilers y’know.

 

Qimir, aka





Darth Plagueis.

 

I'm really hoping Plagueis is the Master. Darth Nameless is just one of many Sith hopefuls..recruit...acolytes. He wants one of his own to train, to then take on DP. But now that he's exposed himself, and the Sith, rather stupidly and brazenly, DP is going to end his life when he finds out. Then DP goes on to a new Acolyte. Maybe Mae, Maybe not. He hasn't found his true apprentice yet. He'll continue to test the waters, finding acolytes and apprentices, until a few decades from now, he'll find Palpatine.

And if Sol doesn't bite it, I think all it takes is just one Jedi, just one of them, to bury this event altogether. Possibly to keep the lie that is peace, or possibly because there's no evidence of anything and they simply don't believe it.

 

I'm sort of joking that Qimir may be Plagueis, but he does seem to enjoy a good nap and know how to quickly mix up some poison.

My theory on why he may not yet have a Darth title: His Master doesn't think he deserves one yet.

This could be a motivation for finding his own Acolyte and taking his Master out. So he can fully achieve his own identity.

 

I think because he too is an Acolyte. He's not an official bend the knee and take the oath apprentice ... yet.

So ... a Jedi might call him a Sith. He's not one yet. He wants the job, but hasn't proven himself to be part of the Rule of Two.

 

Darth Q

 

Any chance we'll see Qimir go back to his stoner dopey facade? I'd love to see him swap character types ala Adam West in Batman



Anyway, I would be fine if Smiley was Plagueis, or his Master, but not sure how attached folks are to the Legends versions of Plagueis and his master being aliens or if the showrunner for Acolyte is sticking with that (they do seem to be an EU fan though). Apprentice of Plagueis? Master to Plagueis' Master? He bites it then Plagueis takes great interest in some kid from Naboo. The dark side witches making life seems like it would lead into that.

 

I think Darth Biceps is still the apprentice.

As to who the master is, Darth Tenebrous perhaps?

 

If he is an apprentice of either of those two I think Plagueis would be more likely as his name has some recognition and the whole creating life thing would tie into his story.

 

Okay this made me laugh

 

Plagueis, almost every fan knows him Tenebrous not so mutch. If this Sith is to be a surprise reveal. Maybe Qimir could be canon version of Venamis?

 

Seems possible. Especially since Venamis had a list of possible acolytes, with the most promising of them, Naat Lare, being a sadist and pyromaniac, not unlike Mae. Plagueis later tested him by ordering to defeat two Jedi in a fight, which he failed.

 

There's one other thing: he really looked ready to fight the Jedi, with the cortosis armor. But shouldn't the Jedi being in Kelbacca's planet a surprise, a late decision by the Council ? Wouldn't be esy for him to run?
Also i'm thinking he's the one who knows the location of those Jedi that fought the witches and was manipulating Mae to go after them.
My theory is that has a mole inside the Jedi order.
Someone that tips him and, maybe, is the the true Master.

 

Two sets of twins. It has been done before, in the film Big Business, starring Bette Midler and Lily Tomlin.

Qimir's master could be his twin brother.
QimirroriQ
Qi mirror iQ
Qimir roriQ
Qimir Roriq

Qimir's strength is his ability to utilize his circulating life force, his qi.
Roriq's strength is his ability to utilize his high IQ.
Roriq is the brains of the operation, and Qimir is the brawn.

Qimirroriq is not a palindrome, but it does have mirror in the middle.

For true palindromic twins, see Tomax and Xamot, aka The Crimson Twins:

Qimir....

Kind of a stretch but ... Qamar in Arabic means moon.

And Acolyte has been using moon and eclipse symbolism in the posters and even in the episodes. Which refers to the twins, most likely. But maybe it refers to Qimir as well. The eclipse also resembles that crescent shaped smiling grin from the helmet.

 

Sorry meant to add before posting

we also have Sol. Which can mean soul or spirit but Sol is the name of our sun,,

So we have moon and sun and eclipse symbolism in our mentor characters

 

Yup! And Sol literally means Sun in some languages

 

Also worth notting: Ep 4 was named Day ( =sun)
Ep5 was named Night ( = Moon)
Maybe there's something there
Now i'm guessing that Qimir words after he founds Osha means despite he beat all the Jedi he thinks he failed with his aprendice/acolyte, Mae, who went in a nonsensical journey with Sol.

 

In case Qimir will show up in flashbacks, hope that there will be some other visual marker of him being 16 years younger other than having no mustache.

 

His arms will be thinner? sorry not sorry
