Star Wars The Acolyte Episode 5 Reaction 

What did you think of episode 5?? Likes, dislikes?

The armor is made out of Cortosis. It's like super weak Mando metal but far more rare to get. It temporarily shorts out light sabors and absorbs blaster shots like when he is shot with the stun blast, and it does nothing.

“His arms look so skinny” are you sure about that? Lol

"Thank you I knew they were gonna die moving on." She was in fact not ready for them to move on lmao.

Really great episode. The lightsaber fights were great, wasn't expecting the deaths to be so brutal especially Yord😢

The combat scenes were phenomenal. I would watch this episode over and over again. What I didn't like was that Jecki and Yord died. Now we have to see who the real Sith behind it is. Who taught Qimir? Will it be Darth Plagueis?

It’s debatable whether Qimir is really a Sith since he never really confesses to it and his whole thing is using your weaknesses against you, especially with words. Plus, Kylo Ren’s theme is heard in this episode with him so perhaps he’s more so the progenitor of the Knights of Ren.

When it comes to mind reading, I think he meant that if you see someone's face, know who they are, then they are easier to read. With the helmet, you can't form that personal connection. It is like 'look me in the eyes and tell me you don't lie'. When it comes to colours, they change from one movie to another. Also in legends, and it is not unreasonable to believe this can be a thing in canon as well, crystals can simply display many shades of the same colour. I loved how Qimir looked like a horror movie villain at times. And after the mask is gone, Manny did a wonderful job portraying him, switching emotions from one second to another. He also had the best lines IMO. His outfit was pretty well thought too. Mask was really scary this time (didn't look like cheap cosplay), robes allowed him to cover his arms enough to fool the opponents while being well built actually, and also didn't restrain his moves. Combine that with cortosis and he looked and behaved like a total badass. Kinda funny when people behave like Disney is all about candies and lollipops, then we have Andor executing 2 guys on their knees, and Qimir snapping Yord's neck which was never a thing in Star Wars. He looked like damn Shang Tsung.

As an older Star Wars fan, that was the most impressive live action lightsaber duel I've seen in a long time. Maybe even better than the Prequel lightsaber duels.

Best episode yet! Loved all of the lightsaber action!

If Sol doesn't make it to Coruscant Ki-Adi-Mundi is saved.

Lol RIP Yord! And how did u not know it was Qimir all along lol

I think Sol does know it’s Mae. His response of “your sister” rather than using either of the twins’ names makes me think he already knows and just wants to lull Mae into a false sense of security. Assuming he’s sticking to Vernestra’s orders, the important thing was to get her onboard the ship and into custody on Coruscant. Even if Qimir is the much more dangerous threat.

Hi! I adore your background! It’s really well done!

Great reaction, I really enjoyee this episode. Thought the fight choreography was awesome. Thought the acting was great especially the sol actor he killed it this episode Shocked about jeckie ansld yord didnt expect them to die. I had a feelinh qimir was the sith and i actually liked him as the sith, he was lke a new person. qimir was gone and he has become this dark twisted menacing being. I wonder who trained him,? Maybe we will see his master by the end. 🤔 The bug scene bugged me 😂 Wasnt a fan of that either Did u notice qimir had a duel saber that splits just like cal, again another fallen order similarity 😂 I think osha stopped sol from killinh the sith was because its not the jedi way, just like anakin with dooku on episode 3. Cant wait to find out more about sol he is definitely guilty about something 😬 🤔 qimir looked like he knew sol maybe he is his long lost brother!

I'm going to be totally honest I really don't like this series 😅 but always love hearing what others who are enjoying it think. Thanks for sharing ✌️😊

idc what people say, disney cooked with this one! what i didn't like however, was that mae said she was gonna turn herself in but then fights jecki, and the fact that qimir kept turning off his saber, though there could be an explanation to that

RIP Not Plo Koon 😂 I thought this was an awesome episode. I think all the Jedi have to die in this series to stay consistent with Ki Adi's line in TPM. If no one outside of this group of Jedi knows who they interacted with then his line is true, but if Ki Adi and other Jedi find out it might be that they are covering it up and he isn't telling the truth in TPM. Who knows? We still have three episodes. However this ends I think it will be cool! They are the story tellers at the end of the day

Great episode

Jason from the good place lol

How was the bug scene dumb and stupid? If he had died by the bugs then I can see that, but other than that idk what made it stupid?

it was a great episode the cast had to be thinned out sooner or later

Amazing episode.

9:26 why does everyone get angry at this scene???? it's fundamental to Star Wars.... and we've only seen it happen undisturbed once... and that was in the movie that birthed Darth Vader... it is easier to kill out of rage, that way you ensure the bad guy doesn't kill again, and you won the match. but then..... what's stopping you from doing it again? what's stopping you from just killing everyone who makes one mistake? and then, what separates you from the sith? which is what this scene represents and why Qimir is laughing throughout the fight.... because a so called "good guy" just attacked someone who's back was turned, attacked out of rage, and was about to kill an unarmed prisoner. it might be convenient for everyone else to just kill him then and there. but it's absolutely "not very Jedi-like"

❤

Love this show ❤

Best episode so far. But no where close to the quality of what the prequels are. My guess is that this is the one decent episode of the season. Like in Ahsoka the CW flashbacks was probably the best one.

Oh well, what can I say? Fans are so predictable, and Lucasfilms knows it. Lucasfilm knows fans will criticize every detail, truly hate recons, and are easily pleased with glowing stick fights. The Acolyte is not Shakespeare, not that's trying to be. It's Star Wars and Star Wars IS for kids. Yes, The Acolyte is recon the Sith, (a story very well established by Lucas and Legends decades ago), but it seems Disney and Kennedy's Lucasfilm are about to wipe their butts with it. This episode is everything Star Wars is; bad script, silliness, great VFXs, Jedi, alien creatures, and whatever the Sith no Sith is. Whether the first 5 episodes are good depends on two basic questions; are you okay with what Star Wars was? Or do you subscribe to this new Disney Star Wars? Depending on how you feel the answer will be yes or no. To me, it was okay, because I never took Star Wars seriously. I was entertained, and that is all I want from Star Wars.

We don't know definitively if Qimar is a Sith. He said that's what the Jedi might call him. And because he's looking for an apprentice and acolyte he probably is a Apprentice of a Sith Lord or a more powerful Dark Side user! Because if he already was the master he wouldn't need a student! And that metal is more powerful than besscar because it not only blocks lightsaber and laser blast but it absorbs their energy and temporarily shorts out the lightsaber.

Wellllll....it was the best of the 5 episodes so far? The combat was pretty awesome........riiiiiiiiight up until they started talking. Mae's 180 on turning herself in, even though the Jedi saved her from getting killed 5 freakin times....and then the lightsaber haircut. Not a good way to stick the landing. I dunno.....wanted this to be a great show, but the dialogue is killing me, along with the "mystery" that has been anything but (so far.....)

Sorry, but this series is not star wars.

Bad writing and directed by someone who hates the fan base. Yeah we can tell you have not been a fan for long.
