The following story includes light spoilers for The Acolyte Episode 6.
IF YOU WATCHED episode 6 of The Acolyte, it's a secret to definitely nobody that the episode had some steam– and fans are thanking Manny Jacinto's abs for that. Jacinto plays Qimir, who in the previous episode was exposed to be the program's Sith bad guy in among the most significant twists up until now.
Considering that Qimir's unmasking as one of the program's overarching bad guy, he has actually apparently been on an objective to turn more individuals with capacity in the force over to the dark side. In episode 6, he used his soft charm and toned body in an non-verbal effort to seduce Amandla Stenberg's character, Osha, to join him. Keep in mind, in episode 5, he recommended that he desired his own apprentice, an “Acolyte”– apparently motivating the name of the series. And while Mae, Osha's twin sibling, has let him down, plainly he's seeing the capacity of turning the twin the majority of us formerly saw to be “the great one.”
The Acolyte‘s 6th episode was entitled” Tech/Corrupt,” and followed Mae and Osha (once again, twins, and once again, both played by Amandla Stenberg) as they switched locations with their previous masters. Mae stops working in an effort to technique and murder Jedi Master Sol (Lee Jung-jae), however she is captured and is eventually stunned by a blaster. Osha is taken to an unidentified island on an unidentified world with Jacinto's Sith bad guy– who is referred to, at this point, as either “Qimir” or “The Stranger”– with a preliminary objective to murder him.
Eventually Osha's strategy is hindered when the bad guy utilizes his want to his benefit as he attempts to seduce Osha and stops her from eliminating him with his lightsaber. Needless to state, lots of fans are not grumbling about the minute of sexual stress in the episode, when, Jacinto's character undresses and opts for a great slim dip.
Is his character's sex appeal making the dark side appearance not so bad? Fans fasted to X/Twitter to reveal a little thirst for the steamy scenes.
