Star Wars: The Acolyte fans were in for a surprise during the season 1 finale as a romantic scene between characters Osha and Qimir almost made it to the screen. Manny Jacinto, who portrays Qimir, revealed that a kiss between the two characters was filmed but ultimately left out of the final cut. The decision was made based on the belief that the moment may not have been appropriately earned at that point in the storyline.
Jacinto shared insights into the discussions surrounding Osha and Qimir's potential romance, highlighting the complexities of their relationship given the events that transpired in the series. Despite the absence of a kiss, the actors worked towards conveying a sense of care and mutual understanding through a subtle hand-holding moment.
