The Acolyte episode 5 blew fans away with two major developments that changed the show, and perhaps even Stars Wars, forever. Now, we know what you're thinking. Those surprise Jedi deaths? Or perhaps the reveal of who the masked Sith is? Good guesses, sure, but they're both wrong. We are of course talking about Qimir's physical presence.
With every flex of his biceps in each duel, actor Manny Jacinto's Qimir had the whole internet selling their souls in a desperate bid to be held like his lightsaber (seriously, just take one swift look at Twitter). Suddenly people who had no interest in Star Wars were firing up Disney Plus faster than Han shooting Greedo.
