And Manny really brought so much to that … It was really with each scene , just calculate out what ’s the right amount , because the one thing we all did n’t want is him just to be a mustache - twirly regretful guy . We need him to be so much more complex than that , and his story is complex , what did happen to him … "

Star Wars Should Keep Showing The Sith’s More Vulnerable Side
Qimir Was The Acolyte’s Best Character For A Reason
IfThe Acolyteproved anything , it is thatStar Warsshould go forward delving into the deeper side of the Sith . Since it began , Star Wars’most hefty Sith Lordshave often been reduced to scheming , scheme , strictly evil villains with picayune to no redeeming quality . specially in the slip of Emperor Palpatine , the Sith have seldom been shown to be deeper than aerofoil level . While naturally , some have pick up this profoundness , like Darth Vader and Darth Maul , the big villains ofStar Warsremain evil to the core , whichThe Acolyteseason 2might showcase with Plagueis .
If this is the route the show goes down , it should continue using Qimir to show a more vulnerable side to the Sith . Culpepper guessed that this could be the showcase by stating:“I will lease Leslye fill in all the space on his backstory , and hopefully the audience will demand a season 2 so they can see more if that ’s what ’s gon na be covered in season 2 … “The Acolyteproved that showcasing the Sith ’s vulnerable side was compelling beyond doubt , and we desire this will continue into time of year 2 and the other upcomingStar Warsprojects that include Sith fiber of a galaxy far , far off .
