Now, we know what you’re thinking.
Those surprise Jedi deaths?
Or perhaps the reveal of who themasked Sith is?
Good guesses, sure, but they’re both wrong.
We are of course talking about Qimir’s physical presence.
Suddenly people who had no interest inStar Warswere firing upDisneyPlus faster than Han shooting Greedo.
Namely, his nude scene.
Warning - the following features spoilers for the latest episode.
Stripping down
It all begins when Osha wakes up alone in a cave by the ocean.
Her wounds have been carefully treated and cared for.
Still wary, Osha ventures outside to discover Qimir, the man who kidnapped her and killed her friends.
Yes, all of them.
That’s not enough though, so Qimir then entices Osha further in a very physical sense.
Osha’s eyes can’t help but take in every curve of the Sith’s body.
No, the real reason why Qimir’s nude scene has been included is far darker.
Always loved that word, ‘seduced’."
It’s why a naked Qimir invites Osha into the water with him.
It’s why he deliberately leaves his lightsaber out for her to hold.
“Below the surface of consciousness are powerful emotions,” he tells her.
[Insert extremely dramatic pause].
It’s because everything he says to her actually makes sense.
It’s grounded in truth.
Or at least, that’s how Osha sees it at first.
“Semantics” indeed.
Well, aside from the whole “Qimir kills Jedi to get what he wants” thing.
That’s pretty evil.
And much of that is down to the nudity, Qimir’s willingness to be vulnerable with Osha.
Who knew that a flash of pecs would turn Osha and fans alike to the Dark Side so readily?
And who knew that characters in Star Wars even had these kinds of urges?
