The Acolyte episode 5 reveals the secret ingredient to great Star Wars lightsaber battles: it's all about personality

The acolyte.

Warning - the following features spoilers for episode 5 of The Acolyte...

The Acolyte just aired its most action-heavy episode to date, unveiling Qimir (Manny Jacinto) as Mae's mysterious Dark Side master. Arriving in a Knights of Ren-style helmet at the end of episode 4, he quickly proves his strength against a whole squad of Jedi warriors. From then on, it's a fight to the death in the forests of Khofar. A fight to several deaths, in fact, as Qimir kills off two fan-favorite characters: the lovable padawan Jecki (Dafne Keen) and the uptight Jedi knight Yord (Charlie Barnett).
