The Acolyte
At Dragon Con 2024 , Qimir / the Stranger player Manny Jacinto explained howStar Wars’newest Sith Lord pulled off his incredibly creepy entrance inThe Acolyteepisode 4 . DespiteThe Acolyte’scancelation , the show remains a entrancing addition toStar Warsmovies and TV shows . In fact , in spite of the show ’s mixed reception ( to say the least ) , many viewers come up Qimir / the Stranger perfectly riveting . Part of the succeeder of this fiber was due to how rightfully malign , powerful , and creepy he was , and his episode 4 entrance was a great instance .
As shared byoshaniseyason X , Manny Jacinto revealed many new detail about his experience play Qimir / the Stranger inThe Acolyteat Dragon Con . Among these reveals was an explanation of how the Stranger floated down from the sky when he made his entrance inThe Acolyteepisode 4 ; evidently , the aspect was but filmed in reverse , with Jacinto being lift up on wire .
Although this was a very simple overture , it make for brightly in the show , asQimir / the Stranger descend from above and landing silently behind Osha was genuinely terrifying and ominous .
Now that The Acolyte has been canceled , one of the franchise ’s good Sith type faces an uncertain futurity – and he may not have a hereafter at all .
The Sith Lord’s Episode 4 Arrival Was Truly Chilling
Qimir / the Stranger ’s reaching inThe Acolyteepisode 4 was truly creepy , so much so that it seemed almost like a mo from a horror picture show . This is largely in keeping with Qimir ’s role throughoutThe Acolyte . In fact , although this moment took post in episode 4,The Acolyteepisode 5saw how truly dark the show would become , as Qimir cut down multiple Jedi , including by poke Jedi Padawan Jecki Lon through multiple times and referring to her as"it"and snapping Yord Fandar ’s neck unceremoniously .
This entranceway inThe Acolyteepisode 4 also tied into anotherStar Warsmoment , although not one fromStar Warscanon . In a way , this moment with Qimir re - canonise Count Dooku ’s gliding ability from Genndy Tartakovsky’sStar Wars : Clone Wars ( 2003 ) . DespiteThe Acolyte’scontroversies and repercussion , this is just one of multiple illustration of the show taking something fromStar WarsLegends and making it canon . Indeed , though Darth Plagueis was already canon , The Acolytebrought him to theStar Warsscreen for the very first meter and introduced cortosis on - concealment as well .
Given how muchThe Acolyteintroduced , it ’s impressive that the show find such straightforward workarounds for what needed to be done on screen . Again , while Qimir ’s entrance in instalment 4 was truly scarey , it was executed in such a uncomplicated fashion . woefully , withThe Acolyteofficially not being renewed for time of year 2 , the show ’s innovations and plan of attack have come to an end . However , Star Warscan continue to pick up fromThe Acolyte , especially when it arrive to bringing a more horror - like ingredient to the enfranchisement — the Sith Lords especially .
