The latest episode ofThe Acolytehas finally unmasked themysterious Sith Lordand revealed his identity to be Qimir.
Still, though, questions surround the reveal – including how Qimir and Sol know each other. Sol recognizes that the Sith is familiar, but he can’t quite place why.
Well, one theory suggests that the duo are actually brothers, and, honestly, we’re pretty convinced.
“Calling it now. Master Sol and Qimir are long lost brothers,“tweets one fan. “Sol = Sun. Qimir (Qamar in Arabic) = Moon. Calling it now. Master Sol and Qimir are long lost brothers.”
Earlier in the series, Sol revealed that he was taken to be a Jedi at the age of four, which is old enough to recognise Qimir through the Force, but not quite old enough to remember him. It could also explain Qimir’s vendetta against the Jedi Order, and it ties neatly into The Acolyte’s themes of duality and would parallel Mae and Osha’s story.
Another persistent theory about the Sith is thatQimir isn’t actually the Master. Instead, another Sith Lord could be pulling the strings in the darkness.
