Summary Star Wars: The Acolyte’s latest episode confirms a major theory about the new Sith Lord’s mysterious past. In Star Wars: The Acolyte episode 6, “Teach / Corrupt,” Master Sol , Qimir , and Osha and Mae deal with the consequences of the Jedi’s massacre on Khofar. Osha has been captured by Qimir because he wants an apprentice, while Sol is stuck on board a ship in dire need of maintenance with Mae, who is both desperate for Sol to admit to what happened on Brendok and lusting for vengeance.
The Acolyte's Sith Lord Is A Former Jedi The Acolyte episode 6 confirmed that the franchise’s new Sith Lord is, in fact, a former Jedi. When Osha asks why she’s never heard of him, he emphasizes that his tenure with the Jedi Order happened “a long time ago.” It's possible Sol was there at the time, though, as the Jedi Master said that he sensed a familiar presence when Qimir finally revealed himself on Khofar in the previous episode.
It stands to reason that while Qimir may favor the dark side, his fighting style has nevertheless been influenced by his time with the Jedi. What Does This Mean For The Sith? Famously, of course, the Sith managed to decimate the Jedi Order once and for all by essentially infiltrating it and gaining the Jedi’s trust. Palpatine hid himself away in plain sight, using his political power as a means of influencing the Jedi’s role in the galaxy, pushing a desperate Anakin Skywalker ever closer to the dark side.
Is it possible that the Sith have been hidden within the shadows of the Jedi Temple all this time? Have they literally infiltrated the Jedi Order? Having a Sith spy, or at the very least another Acolyte within the Jedi’s ranks would explain how and why Qimir decided to embrace the dark side. If someone encouraged his desires and his need for freedom – and the Jedi certainly wouldn’t have done that themselves – his leaving the Jedi makes sense.
