Manny Jacinto as Qimir/The Master in The Acolyte Episode 5
The Big Picture Editor's Note: The following contains spoilers for 'The Acolyte' Episode 5 "Night."The Acolyte has made it clear there is more to the slaughter of twins Osha and Mae’s coven on Brendok than at least the former knows, with Sol seeming to know some tragic details that he hasn’t yet shared with his former Padawan. In last week’s episode, he promised to tell Osha “the truth” when they accomplished their mission and got Mae into custody.
When he subsequently defeats her by separating his lightsaber into two halves and stabbing her in the chest, seemingly killing her, it is then shown that the Sith is none other than Qimir , the criminal confidant that’s been aiding Mae. He and Sol already came face to face in a prior episode, so it’s possible Qimir’s line could have simply been referring to that brief early encounter.
It makes sense that a Jedi as skilled as Sol would partially recognize the sense he got from Qimir, even if the latter used his own Force abilities to alter and/or mask it, especially since their prior encounter was both recent and an important part of Sol’s investigation. So Qimir could very well just be mocking Sol for not fully identifying him before his unmasking.
