Breaking Down the Most Brutal Lightsaber fight in Star Wars 

Jecki was a beast (totally going in no holds barred) while flowing from emotions I think she was also matching her Masters ferocity. The way she kept going in for the kill. Qimer had killed multiple Jedi. She knew he needed taken down, it was her time to fight like a Knight of legends she undoubtedly heard about. Had she not been blindsided by the shoto she may have fell into defensive position. Sol can definitely be proud of the way he trained his padawan.

Had she survived to become a knight and eventually a master I believe she would have been one of the best duelists of her time

@@natethornnstuff1783 I fully agree, for a padawan she was beast level in dueling, matching the Skywalkers and Ahsoka in skill at the same age.

She could’ve vibed with anakin in an alternate universe

Btw I thought qimir was exar kun cuz of hes skilled fighting style but he power is equal to a ancient sith lord from legends

Mike Tyson is a sage

@@GenerationTech Then there is plan B. What do you do when that punch to the face didn't work ?

rinse and repeat, either punching starts ruining their plan or they fail to get back up... endurance.

​@@jasonmast7769i seen my brother fuck up a few people pretty bad after getting punched in the face. Like someone would punch him once in the nose and id be like oh shit that guys gonna die, my bro discribed it as he would see like red tunnel vision and let every ounce of rage out on people like he would usually punch them in the throat and then the nose and then just rapidly right hand beat the dudes face in and blood would be flying everywhere and when dude would go down my bro would jump on him and just keep full force beating dudes face in and id usually have to pull him off so he didnt kill them cuz he would just be fueled with pure hate and if i didnt stop him those dudes would probably have died or needed reconstructive face surgery. One time i seen my bro get punched in the face and then crack this dude in the head with a 30pk of beer and the kid fell down a flight of stairs, my bro chucked the case down the stairs and then he straight sprinted and did a flying running jump down the flight of stairs landed a superman punch on the dudes face with his entire body weight / momentum. he painted the wall with that dudes face from the flying punch. then follow it up with rapid fire punching dude into a brick wall until the kid finally dropped to the floor and then my bro just sat on his chest constantly rapid fire punching his face into the concrete floor. I had to throw my bro off the guy cuz i thought dude was dead and i was like we need to get the fuck out of here. the whole fuckin hallway looked like a massacre, just covered in blood everywhere. The kid ended up getting arrested for under-age drinking after we left and his mugshot was in the newspaper with a picture of him just completely unrecognizable, his face was fucked. So yeah when somepeople get punched in the face the plan goes out the window and thats not always a good thing for the person who threw that first punch.

@@goni2493Grievous: Analyzing

@@goni2493Grievous: taking sabers

Older Anakin: “How did you kill all of those Jedi.” Qimir: “I’ll be happy to give you some pointers, like I did you them.” (Ignites his lightsaber) Anakin: “This is where the fun begins.” (After a few rounds. Anakin seems to be the better. So Qimir runs off) Anakin: “Pointers. lol. You know I’m faster than you. And maybe next time, try a two handed grip now and then.”

​@@eds1942i feel like s6 anakin would prolly just toss him

yeah too young too inexperienced, she wasn't ready. Definitely had the skills though. Reminds of that time ahsoka took that fighter wing on the attack run during the battle of ryloth and got everyone killed

Well, I do somewhat agree, however I still find it hard to believe she was that skilled even though it is literally her first mission out of the temple in the first episode. She had almost no practical experience...

@@drachir000We could hand wave it off as her now knowing how serious the situation has become after all the other red shirt Jedi got killed and is now fighting in order to survive.

I'm not a fan of this show, but I did quite enjoy this episode. Besides the obvious action, the dialogue and acting seemed much more believable. Mostly. So I am going to defend Jecki performperforming so well. It's not the first time we've seen a Padawan perform so well in combat. Look at Obi Wan. He was completely outclassed by Darth Maul, yet he held his own for awhile, and even got Maul to work a bit in their final one-on-one. Obi Wan hadn't ever fought a Sith or enemy of that caliber before. If you're gonna complain about Jecki, you must not have liked Obi Wan. Ahsoka had several similar examples, too.

Three stab saber combo

​@@crazyeyez1502I did. I mean they had to die. In order for the Order to believe the Sith are gone, none of the Jedi in this forest can survive. If they did survive, they would've relayed the message about the Sith.

@Tyrone-Ward yea. I get what you're saying. But ya never want likeable characters to be killed off.

Cortosis isn't supposed to be that powerful... Their blades just stops working..m

Well that’s how it basically worked in the comics. Like the Jedi who disabled Vader’s saber for quite a long period of time with a cortosis blade. And anyway in the episode the helmet takes a lot of damage from the saber striker to the point a few munches make it fall apart Also their blades didn’t just stop working they only turned off for like 10 seconds

probably got refined with stronger metals

How do we know that is the armor he used I don't recall any information in show, we are assuming it is. Unless I missed something

Actually pretty sure the books and comics both show this, especially the Vader comics. He almost got his throat cut by a Crotosis blade when a Jedi slashed through his lightsaber because the blade itself broke and wouldn't ignite. We also should take into account that Qimir is headbutting and striking sabers in a counter move that likely is forcibly breaking the magnetic field and overwhelming the crystal on purpose and with a single goal in mind: disarm and destroy.

He probably isn't sith because it would kind of break established canon

He might be a Sith apprentice depending on what will happen in the next episodes. If Sol won't survive to rely the message to The High Council and Qimir is killed my his Master, canon won't be broken.

Qimir doesn’t even need to die if Grand Master Green Face pulls some cover up to keep power in the senate.

No it wouldn't. I presume you're talking about Ki-Adi Mundi saying, "there haven't been any Sith in a millennium". That's not true. Darth Tenebrous, Darth Plagueis, and Darth Sidious ALL existed within that 1,000 year period. Ki-Adi Mundi... was wrong.

In no way does it break canon 😅. Tenebrous & Plagueis are the master/student. A Sith can have multiple apprentices as seen with Dooku, Palpatine. You can literally create an untold amount of sith apprentices and it wouldn't matter since none of them would become master except Plagueis

yeah that's a good point only jeckie tries to actually restrain someone. I think they didn't think through this part of the choreography. Or they wanted to avoid making the jedi look too much like cops. If you actually look at this series as a whole, its really light on political messaging. It's almost as if they are afraid of fans getting angry... which happened anyway.

I agree. Jecki was going in. Hey if they want to force heal her, I have no issue with that. Plus the actress is cute as a button.

@@babytoshiro7014 Yeah, though I'm not sure any of the Jedi who saw this "Sith" (is he really or just a Jedi fallen to the dark side?) will survive. Afterall by Episode I nobody in the order has heard of any Sith during that time.

@@firstname8637 True. We have 3 eps left to see where this all goes.

@@ultronemperor3525 I'm kinda digging it, honestly. I think people are hyper-fixating on a couple of cringe moments as if they're the end of the world, but I agree with Allen here, the hate is really over-the-top. I know, I know, there were lesbian space witches. Return of the Jedi had Ewoks, let's not pretend like cringe is some new thing in Star Wars. It's fair to call out cringe for what it, but acting like this is ruining Star Wars is bizarre. A bunch of people showed their hand earlier and it was obviously about the diverse casting, and now they're trying to backfill like that's not what it was about. If we're being honest, the Boba Fett show was similarly cringey (and way more pointless), but this lightsaber fight topped anything in that show.

that is true lol but jango had a blaster

@@GenerationTech this is also true 🤔

Agree. That's what I'm also thinking. But I think Sol will be the original Ren. He's the only character whose last name we have not been given. I'm guessing he's Sol Ren.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

someone should make a meme edit of that

High Republic Jedi may as well. They are woefully unskilled compared to the latter eras. The Darkside has honed it's pupils while the light has dulled them. Peace is truly a lie.

She was great. Man, can't believe they decided not keep the character around. So sad.

This took me out of the whole episode the second they established Jecki as a bad@$$, they took her out. The writing on this show is terrible... 🤦🏽‍♂️

@@Supreme_1906 How is it terrible writing? She did get cocky, and it really estabilished Qimer as an underhanded, dirty fighting son of a prick. The perfect characterization for a darksider. They shouldn't fight fair. People have over and over again demanded that people make use of turning on/off lightsabers. Guess what? We finally see what happens when you do that. Probably, if it was Obi-wan fighting Qimir, he wouldn't have been caught by that sneak attack. But Jecki isn't Obi-Wan, not even when he was a padawan.

​@runakovacs4759 , first of all, this "sith" easily wipes out Kelnacca, then a handful of other Jedi Knights, but then gets a tough (and bad@$$) fight from Jecki, a Padawan?? There is no sense of balance or symmetry when it comes to the skill levels of the Jedi. This is why I think the writing is terrible. Or to be more fair, I think the writing is more geared towards children, unlike Andor, which was written more for adults...

@@Supreme_1906 The power of the dark side can be very influentual. Jecki very clearly tapped into it, and dark siders tend not to expect that. Element of surprise, dark side = you can end up almost winning. Consider how obi-wan ended up being able to match Maul, a Sith Lord, as a mere padawan himself after qui-gon died and he was overtaken by his emotions. Or Luke overpowering vader after being on the backfoot the whole time after his feelings for Leia were touched.

Can you get me a timestamp? It probably happened so fast that I just missed it. I want to watch out for it now.

Trakata.

@@Raxeleus It's at 3:13-3:14, one COULD argue that it's not him turning his saber off but mearly he's turned to the side so you don't see it, but if you listen carefully to the audio you can hear his saber turning off. I mean, I could be mistaken but that's what it seemed like to me.

​@sparquisdesade u mean in the episode?

Idk if its trakata bc he does it to stab jecki. Unless there's another part I didn't notice. He turns it on and off a lot but not to off-balance the opponents the way trakata is described.unless, again, I missed it which is possible. There's a lot going on lol

They're not used to fighting other Force users at all, aside from each other in duels in which they follow rules of combat.

this is what i keep seeing everywhere, but like...where did qimir get all his experience fighting jedi? he wins, and mae wins in ep 1 because the jedi were written to fight poorly, they were written to be stupid and not use tactics or in this fight work together as a unit in any way. say whatever you want about lack of knowledge fighting a dark side user, but they sure as hell should have a ton more experience fighting lightsaber to lightsaber, should be aware of what the fancy ores can do, and shouldnt just stand there clueless when their sabers go out. they shouldnt let themselves be yeeted by one force push, or pulled into their deaths by a force pull, or not use any force powers for themselves, or use any fighting tactics. jecki and sol have main character syndrome where they actually fight smart for a few turns...jecki just STANDS there as she gets stabbed. just stands there. someone surprises me with a dagger im jumping like the kid who saw anakins lightsaber come out at the very least, let alone TRY to react with the sword i have. i love the 'trick' and sure it was used in medieval hema as well, quick dagger death blow while parrying a sword blow. maybe ive watched too many real sword fights to appreciate this slowed down junk.

@@jonmetrick7998amen

I don’t think the 900 years excuse applies. Qui Gon and Obi Wan had never seen a Sith either. Maul was fully trained from birth. Also in this case there’s more than just two Jedi like in the Phantom Menace. How is “Qimir” able to or how does he even have the experience to take on and dispatch so many Jedi? Doesn’t make sense. I don’t wanna make excuses for it.

@@zaepreme Master Qui Gon Jin is no push over and Obi Wan, even as a padawan, was very good. Qui Gon is one of those outsiders who were too good to really bring down, because he often went against the Jedi Council's orders to do whatever the fuck he truly believed in. He had conviction and purpose he truly believed in which pushes someone from being good to great in some cases. Anyways, all of this to say that once they understood that Sith was a possibility, they didn't take any chances. They dropped the robes and worked together (Master & Padawan connection there). The fact that Maul managed to even kill one is baller.

Maybe he's the Kendrick Lamar of the Jedi.

Probably shaking off the knockout from the force push. Concussions are no joke

I mean same w Jecki. And yord tbh. Only steps in after like 2 jedi have been killed

​@@etazeta674Dude murdered 8 people but cant be touched if he drops his weapon...dumbest writing ever

​@@jonathangardner3694 Sorry just having trouble understanding what this is supposed to mean, I do agree though that I woulda liked to see at least a scene of sol coming back to consciousness, but dude you wanna see the dumbest writing ever watch book of boba fett and secret invasion.

'Yams'? 🤣🤣🤣 Close, try again

@@zufalllx haha oops🤭

exactly. Qimir respected the padawan, but once he decided to stop going easy on her because of the broken helmet, he outright killed her. I fully believe Qimir might have let jecki slide. As for Yord well, he didn't give a shit about Yord and frankly, I don't think anyone else did either.

@@anubhavdassarma7230 I don't think he was going easy on her. She became a threat when she remove his helmet, which was smart. Jecki with Sol had Qimir on the ropes and landing hits and kicks. Then, Jecki alone was becoming more aggressive, faster, dodging his blade, and becoming one with the Force... or tapping into the dark side, as some said. Qimir became very worried that he was about to be killed and choose the only move available to him. And Frankly, Yord was disrespected but has his fans.

@@babytoshiro7014 nope, Jecki was screwed the moment she went solo. She was hella strong no doubt, but she only lasted as long as she did becoz qimir was focused on mae

It helped a lot he never went for a real 8 to 1 fight. He scattered 8 opponents, then engaged in a series of 2 or 3 to 1 fights. That is perfectly feasible, specially being equipped to counter jedi. He fought smart against unprepared opponents.

It was dark too.

Well any time the Jedi sends more than 3 into a fight it turns into a circus

In video game terms, he scattered the Jedi with AOE Force push and then debuffed their attack power with cortosis whenever he could.

Why is it everyone seems to have a hard time calling him a Sith when he calls himself one?

I hadn't realized it until now. Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan knew they'd probably face the Sith Lord from Tatooine again when they returned to Naboo. The High Republic Jedi were initially just trying to find the Wookie Jedi and get out before the assassin arrived. Also the lack of true coordination amongst the High Republic Jedi shows us just how well Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan worked together in their duel against Maul.

That movie was amazing.

No

It’s like poetry, it rhymes.

@@dbks_ yeah but THESE PEOPLE ARE DESTROYING STAR WARS A PADAWAN LASTED LONGER THAN A NO-NAME KNIGHT THIS IS THE END

I was honestly kind of impressed with the choice. They lowkey went with a mini Red Wedding out of nowhere. Even baited us with the obvious redshirt Jedi Knights who I think everybody assumed would die. What made it such a great subterfuge was the character building they were doing between Osha and Jecki/Yord. Jecki as a supportive friend who is obviously more in-tune with the Force than most Jedi, and Yord as a suspicious former friend who was finally starting to warm back up to her. Both of them seemed like they had arcs that weren't concluded. And if I'd had to have picked one to die, I'd have guessed it'd be Yord. But after Qimir killed Jecki, I figured, "Okay, Yord's the one that'll survive, then." Nope. Brutal. Great episode.

I personally was reminded of Michael Myers and Jason Voorhees with how relentless he was (he even briefly tilts his head sideways like Michael Myers). If anything else, the physical portrayal of a Force-sensitive’s capabilities, from a Lightsider’s discipline to a Darksider’s savagery just, as seeing Qimir in action is one of the shows best aspects.

Also bro made it to coruscant, congratulations.

That's why he's so visibly shocked in Order 66. The clones should've only gone after true Jedi, not the undercover Sith.

@@Kazuhiroaka Tru dat!

yeah we haven't seen the jedi get handled like this since episode 3

Good to hear, there's nothing better than passing on some star wars mythology to the next generation!

We'll have to agree to disagree, I'm hugely disappointed by this show, but I also disagree with being labeled as a hater who hates to hate. Yes, the choreography in episode 5 was good and episode 5 was entertaining enough. My reason for being disappointed is 1. There are just soo many lorebreaking errors the writers have committed that undermine much of star wars for fans that have loved star wars since the start. 2. The overall script is poorly written and cringe. Those who say the haters can't stand strong female characters or are anti woke etc. Are wrong. I'm mad because Disney undermine and erase a universe I love and have loved for over 30 years instead of building on it and expand on it. I've tried to be respectful in this post. I'm glad you like it, I just have a problem with the statements haters gonna hate.

Yeah the best thing is that they watch it, claim it's the worst thing ever and then continue watching... (Given: for most of them probably just continue watching RU-vid channels bashing it)

*love

yeah that was great

They dont wanna, its just grasping at straws all the way, its never been about wether any of it is good, its always just about that its made by disney and their entire personality is centered around hating Disney star wars.
