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

As a wise man once said, “The Sith and the Jedi are similar in almost every way.”

All jokes aside, I don’t think it’s hypocrisy. Only because the Sith know and understand they train and groom children, and purposely put them into dangerous scenarios for training. They accept that as part of the training process and make no apology if said apprentice or acolyte dies. In their eyes, if they survive, they’re strong enough. If they don’t, then they didn’t make the cut.

 

My point was never to insult community members and don't see when I did that. I was disappointed in this episode and perhaps I said few things more than once in a different thread. But I've said many things here that are not trolling at all.

Didn't know 1000 things thread is not allowed to include humor. I can laugh at the show too if I want though I don't think that is forbidden. Many people have been allowed to laugh at shows like The Clone Wars, Rebels, Kenobi, Ahsoka and Mandalorian but suddenly Acolyte is off-limits.

My criticism and sarcasm were directed at the show and not community members. You are suddenly attacking me personally for having opinion you don't like. It's sad that you no longer can be honest here but have to praise everything Disney produces or be accused of trolling...

 

Well I referred to material not a person there "brainless action" was perhaps a poor choice of words but it was meant to comment on how suspension of disbelief works better in action-filled material apparently. Like generally people like entertainment even if it's far from believable especially it involves action.

I didn't mean anyone is brainless if they like that, but they are less critical towards writing if it has other entertaining qualities. I actually applauded honesty of this person who agreed with me that some things in episode made no sense to him but he enjoyed the action. I didn't mean to hurt anyone's feelings.

I'm sorry if someone found my comments insulting. I try to move past this for now and tell my opinion less colorfully.

 

Folks, for our ongoing Sith discussion, an important bit of information you should consider is that Headland has confirmed there will be two Sith on the show.

Two.

 

Always two there are, no more, no less! Cant wait to meet the Master. I have my suspicions on who’s already cast for the Sith master.

 

Or there are no more Sith, because we've already been introduced to Bazil and Yord's padawan, who has been curiously absent since the first episode.

 

Evil cat mistress, yess

 

The Sith Master was presented to us in the very first episode. We just weren't paying attention. I mean, look. She's basically Tim Curry's devil from Legend. And her people were even slavers. Do the math, sheeple.

 

Remember the look she gives that one Neimodian on the bridge? That wasn't a look. It was an order.

 

I'm .... not opposed to this. lol

Typically in a murder-mystery, the real villain is presented to us very early on. We saw Qimir in that first/second episode too I believe.

 

I mean look at that forehead. And the horns!

 

She’s so gonna fry Darth Nameless w Sith lightning! Or have her new, much more wise, apprentice who’s waiting in the wings to do the job himself.

 

Having thought on it, Qimir reminds me of The Elder from Visions. I wonder how much inspiration was taken from that episode.

 

Qimir being a Sith Lord doesn't make him the Master.

Darth Vader was a Sith Lord, but he still was the apprentice to Darth Sidious.

 

Qimir: You don't remember me.
Sol: I sense something familiar.

I don't think Qimir's talking about the encounter at the Apothecary.
I think Sol may have encountered Qimir many years ago on Brendok, while scouting for prospective younglings.
Qimir may have demonstrated powerful abilities, but would have been too old to be trained, so, he branched off and followed a different path. Perhaps Qimir lurked along in the shadows, while the Sol, Indara, Kelnacca, and Torbin scouted Brendok, plotting his revenge on the Jedi for not taking him in as a student.

Koril: What are you doing here? How many times have I told you? it is not safe out here.

I think there was someone in the vicinity who clouded Koril's judgement, instilling a fear of the Jedi. Koril may have had a bad feeling, and she drew false conclusions based upon sightings of Jedi in the area.

Obi-Wan: I have a bad feeling about this.
Qui-Gon: I don't sense anything.
Obi-Wan: It's not about the mission, Master. It's something... elsewhere. Elusive.

 

From a certain point of view Sith can't be hypocritical a priori, since they are open about using whatever is necessary to achieve their goals.

Paralles between Jecki and Ahsoka are quite noticeable, in that regard Qimir seems somewhat alike Ventress - both are rather playfull, yet sadistic towards their enemies, have helmets with somewhat similar designs and problems with apprentices.

 

Headland's favorite Sith in Legends is apparently Darth Traya, so a female Sith Master is possible.
