If Qimir turns out to be a vessel for Lord Momin, I really lucked out. The mask is quite different, though
So correct me if I am wrong but didnât we see a young Yoda in one of the prequels? So why would he appear as old in this series??
he was old in the phantom menance. Grey hair and all.
The best part of the episode was this guy in the shadowsâŠthereâs no mistaking who this is.
Thatâs enough spoilers without really spoiling it for nowâŠ
But I thought for all its ups and downs this series ended on a great high note.

Yeah, he was pretty old in the prequels. To the point that during a Clone Wars arc some on the council thought he was getting senile when he started communicating with force ghosts.
He was on the High Council during a phase II of the High Republic, which was almost 400 years before the battle of Yavin. Guy is getting pretty long in the tooth at this point in the High Republic and more so during the prequels.
Iâve got a theory about what heâs up to. Heâs hunting his recently dead masterâs (possibly Tenebrous) secret other apprentice (Qâimir who is possibly Venamis).
If we get a season 2, maybe we get some sith on sith battles.
We know Qimir is old now, given his ties to Rwoh. He coukd be a âyoungâ PalpatineâŠbut I think they would have cast someone who had similar physical characteristics. So seems like a stretch. But wouldnât that be a plot twistâŠVernestra Rwoh revealed to have training Palpatine?
Thereâs another possibilityâŠImri CantarosâŠbut this would make Qimir really oldâŠ
During his time on Wevo, he began to develop strong feelings of anger towards the pirates responsible for his masterâs death and eventually let those feelings boil over when he saw that the pirates were also stranded on the moon with them. He went rogue, disobeying Vernestraâs orders to plan a strategy to subdue their enemies. He and Weft were captured by the pirates after their ambush failed, and Vernestra eventually rescued them. However, when Vernestra was in peril, Cantaros intervened, using a Force choke on Da. Vernestra cautioned him about using the Dark side of the Force, but Cantaros was desperate for revenge, even dueling Vernestra for a short time before he calmed down and realized the error of his ways.
Imri and Qimir share a lot of letters in common. Also, with Plagueis in the picture and the apparent Master⊠Iâm sure they could say his aging was slowed by Plagueisâ research/abilities into life creation.

Imri would be super old if the case, but Iâm sure they could explain that way. My only issue with it being Imri is that heâs described as being Blonde and blue eyes, IIRC. Also, while similar in stature to other humans, his species/race is built quite a bit larger.
I donât think they would have described him in the books just to flip the script in the show.
There were other dark Jedi during this time that lived longer because they accepted the dark side of the force without going full with. None were Vernâs Padawan, but there is precedent for it happening at least.
I could be wrong, though.
This is probably the best argument. They didnât change Rwohâs physical character traits, and even though heâs never been described in canon theyâre going with what everyone expects Plagueis to be (species). So why would they cast Qimir as a young Palpatine or Imri to look nothing like the canon characters?
So Iâd say 95% chance heâs a new character. Darth Venamis is Bith, so youâd think theyâd not flip that script eitherâŠbut not many know the of Venamis so could do so with minimal pushback I suopose.
Curious how episodes 1-7 had Point/Counterpoint titlesâŠyet this last episode is just titled âEpisode 8â.
I wonder why that is. Does the title spoil the ending so itâs being withheld for now?
Yeah, I agree. They could species-swap venamis if they wanted since his species hasnât been revealed in canon yet, but I think youâre right.
I read Darth Plagueis back in 2012 when it came out. Good book. But the reprint out now has the âlegendsâ thing slapped on the cover meaning Disney writers donât have to honor $hit from it. So, I say Qimir is a new character. Not any of Plagueisâ apprentices from the novel. With no real explanation in the show, for all we know Plagueis may not even be a Sith yet and just spying on Qimir. This is where the writers got stuck in a hole vs the old novel. If Plagueis is not Qimirâs master he isnât his apprentice according to the timeline in the novel. If he is Qimirâs master, then it makes the novel a little weird because there is no mention of any of this which doesnât fit in the timeline of the novel either.
Couldnât everything that has happened in the show just be covered up by characters? Thatâs why it wasnât addressed in the novel?
Itâs got to be intense if you have a vision of Lando while doing it.
Nothing that a little colt 45 canât settle downâŠ
