Anyway, the show seems to be hinting that Qimir might actually be the Sith Lord - with Qimir prodding Mae along and then conveniently disappearing before the Sith Lord appears. But I kind of doubt it, because it seems too obvious at this point. (Also did Qimir stash his cool Sith armor under a tree somewhere in advance?)

Well… clearly I was wrong about this. I can’t believe it was actually Qimir. Like… they made it so obvious that I thought it had to be an intentional misdirect.

Anyway, I’m glad I was wrong, because Qimir is actually kind of awesome as a Sith. And the fighting style is unique and frenetic.

Probably the best episode so far. Still lots of problems though, like the Jedi ability to read minds is just frustratingly inconsistent. I’m wondering why they didn’t try to read Qimir’s mind back in Episode 2 when they interrogated him. Actually, why didn’t they arrest him? He was clearly an accessory to murder. This is a consistent problem with this show - the writing is just very sloppy sometimes. Mae and Osha have now switched places - just like in The Parent Trap! What wacky antics will ensue? And why can’t Sol sense that the person in front of him is not Osha? Whatever. Sometimes I wish I could enjoy a Star Wars show without having to question what’s happening every 5 seconds.
