Contains spoilers for "Star Wars: The Acolyte" Season 1, Episode 5 — "Night" Whether you saw the big villain twist on "Star Wars: The Acolyte" coming or not, seeing Manny Jacinto's Qimir in full villain mode is a thrilling experience. The Disney+ show uses Jacinto's mellow "The Good Place" vibe to convince the Jedi — and possibly the viewer — that Qimir is a simple smuggler ... right up until this episode, where he unleashes the deadly power of the dark side on Jedi Master Sol's (Lee Jung-Jae) team.

Since then, Disney has seen diminishing returns for both Lucasfilm and Marvel Studios, with subsequent series struggling to achieve the same audience numbers and critical acclaim.
