Cortosis is a steel that isn’t solely proof against lightsabers but in addition briefly shorts them out (as witnessed in Episode 5). The uncommon materials is extraordinarily tough and costly to mine, so it’s sometimes solely utilized by highly effective Sith Lords and others with very deep pockets. Qimir seems to have hit the jackpot along with his chamber.

However, after a mining droid triggered a fuel pocket, almost killing the pair, Plagueis noticed a possibility to kill his grasp, burying Tenebrous underneath tons of rock earlier than snapping his neck.

Some are satisfied The Acolyte will finally reveal a connection to the Sith Lords.

Others suppose Qimir is working as his apprentice.

IGN’s overview of Episode 6 notes that “subsequent week’s penultimate episode seems to be to lastly fill within the blanks about what occurred on Brendok,” on the very least.
