star wars fans believe they know the acolyte's sith master

The first two episodes of "The Acolyte" on Disney+ have stirred Star Wars fans with a mystery surrounding the Sith Lord known as "The Master." The debut introduced viewers to Mae (played by Amandla Stenberg) who receives a deadly mission from this elusive villain. Speculations are particularly aimed at Qimir, a seemingly regular trader portrayed by Manny Jacinto, whose competent fighting skills and mysterious demeanor have led fans to theorize that he might be the cloaked Sith Lord. With six more episodes to go, fans are eagerly piecing together clues to unmask "The Master."

It is not confirmed yet, but many fans speculate that Qimir could be the Sith Lord known as "The Master" given his fighting skills and cryptic hints. However, viewers will need to follow the series to find out.

"The Acolyte" is set in the late High Republic era of the Star Wars universe. This period is characterized by the Jedi Order being at its zenith, roughly 200 years before the events of "Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace." The show promises to delve into the dark side of the Force and the rising threat of the Sith, providing deep lore for hardcore fans and thrilling narratives for new audiences.
