Following the premiere of Star Wars: The Acolyte Episode 4, viewers are eager to uncover the true identity of the mysterious Master. Set a century before the rise of the Galactic Empire, during the High Republic Era, The Acolyte follows the story of twins Mae and Osha (Amandla Stenberg). The twins find themselves on opposite sides of a conflict between the Jedi and a Dark Side Force user. There has been significant speculation about whether Qimir could be Mae’s Master and whether he is a Sith. Episode 4 showcases what seems to be the Master’s first official encounter with the Jedi.
Here’s what we think about whether Qimir is the Master.
Is Qimir really the Master in Star Wars: The Acolyte?
While it hasn’t been confirmed, it seems highly likely that Qimir could be Mae’s Master in Star Wars: The Acolyte.
Though unconfirmed, Qimir could be Mae’s Master as he shows an unusually deep understanding of the Master’s motivations for someone seemingly unimportant. Additionally, when Mae traps Qimir in the jungles of Khofar, the Master appears shortly after, fueling further speculation.
Episode 4, titled “Day,” features what appears to be the first official meeting between the Master and the Jedi, further intensifying the mystery surrounding his identity. The episode also depicts Qimir’s actions and interactions, which hint at his significant role and possible connection to the Sith. The fact that no one has ever seen Qimir and the Master together raises suspicions about their true identities despite the lack of direct evidence.
