Warning: This article contains spoilers for The Acolyte episode 5.
After much speculation, the mysterious villain in The Acolyte has finally been revealed. In the latest intense episode of the Star Wars spin-off, Darth Teeth was unveiled as Qimir – confirming to Master Sol that he is indeed Sith.
Viewers have been raving about Qimir’s epic lightsaber skills and have dubbed him their new favorite Star Wars villain. Despite being a popular theory, some fans believe that the true villain is yet to be revealed.
Qimir’s revelation about searching for an “acolyte” to be his apprentice has sparked theories that he may be a Sith apprentice himself. One Reddit user suggested, “So Qimir is totally a Sith apprentice trying to find his own apprentice right?”
This theory has led to multiple speculations among Star Wars fans, with many agreeing that there is more to the story. Some believe that Qimir is not the ultimate villain and that a more powerful Sith Lord may make an appearance in the final episode.
As for who Qimir’s master could be, there are several suggestions floating around. Osha’s mother Aniseya, the Green Jedi, and even Darth Plagueis have been considered as potential candidates. With three episodes remaining and Osha’s fate hanging in the balance after being taken by Qimir, it seems like there is still much to unravel in this mystery.
