    A black witch teams up with a Sith to expose the hypocrisy and corruption of the Old Republic Jedi order. It’s surprising this thing ever got made.

    Along with Andor, this was a stab at Star Wars for grown ups and it’s a shame they killed it.

      It was canceled because it was bad.

      Qimir was great and I think the big lightsaber fight is some of the best in live action star wars.

      However, the story is horribly under developed and is full of nepotism. I don’t care that the setting is a lesbian witch commune, I do care that the showrunner hired her wife, who’s acting is so bad, I spent the first scenes she’s in wondering how she got the job.

      The trailers hyped Carrie-Anne Moss and positioned the show almost as a star war version of The Matrix type action, only to kill her character almost immediately.

      Sol is incredibly creepy.
