As you possibly can think about, a number of theories are popping up on-line in the mean time concerning the true nature of the Sith menace on the present. Redditor u/Crafty_Soul means that Qimir’s personal grasp will flip up within the last episode and simply beat him. As for who the grasp’s grasp is, there’s no scarcity of choices. Backing up one of many earliest theories, somebody on Twitter guessed earlier than episode 5 even aired that Grasp Indara is Qimir’s grasp. There’s disappointment that an actor as huge as Carrie-Anne Moss had her character killed off within the opening scene, however then once more, it positively supplied the shock issue.
Others assume that Margarita Levieva’s Mom Koril is destined for a shock comeback, which might neatly tie into the occasions on Brendok. In episode 5, viewers famous how Qimir’s arms have burn marks on them, suggesting that he was there on Brendok when the Jedi clashed with Mom Aniseya’s coven, and all of it went down in flames. Qimir mentioning that Grasp Sol (Lee Jung-jae) doesn’t acknowledge him is additional proof that Osha’s recollections of Mae being accountable for the loss of life of the witches won’t be all it appears.
With the occasions of The Acolyte happening 16 years after the Brendok bloodbath and Qimir suggesting Sol return to earlier than Mae, Osha, and the Jedi “first” met him on Olega, the Jedi Grasp doubtless knew him as a baby. There was no signal of a boy within the coven, but when not Qimir himself, another thriller particular person rescued Mae from the hearth. Particularly, the concept Qimir is a reckless Drive consumer trying to find his personal apprentice to form is one which’s catching on.
Additional afield, followers want to the now non-canon Legends continuity and some well-known Sith faces that we’ve already predicted might make their means into live-action. Backing up the OP Reddit principle, others prompt that the well-known Darth Tenebrous (Darth Plagueis’ predecessor) is the last word huge unhealthy of the sequence. The Sith Rule of Two has lengthy been in impact at this level within the timeline, though it’s fascinating that it’s round this time Darth Tenebrous broke the cycle of grasp and apprentice by coaching Darth Plagueis as his official successor and Darth Venamis in secret.
In Legends, Plagueis was a Munn and Venamis was a Bith, which seemingly counts Qimir out from being both of them, if Disney desires to comply with an identical path. However curiously, Venamis was thought to have a ghostly floating skill and Plagueis the ability of Drive therapeutic, which had been each issues we’ve seen Qimir’s character do within the sequence. Did he be taught these powers from his grasp, and can they be handed down the Sith line?
Episode 5 additionally had an fascinating tease of Kylo Ren’s theme enjoying when Qimir used Drive therapeutic on Osha. This has led to equally wild theories that he’s a precursor to the Knights of Ren. Somebody speculated, “The one cool principle I can consider is that Qimir is both a member of a Sith cultist group/a precursor to the Knights of Ren or is a failed Sith Acolyte/Apprentice. Then Darth Tenebrous & Plagueis are available and completely VIOLATE him for being too loud within the season finale. Hold the Darth Tenebrous-Plagueis-Sidious line of succession.”
