The cast of The Acolyte just talked about episode 5 with Entertainment Weekly and this jumped out at me:
So... everyone on Tumblr just lost their minds sobbing over Jecki and Yord, while their actors were on set like this the whole damn time:
I love it.

he killed them. he killed them all.
and not just the masters.
but the knights.
and the padawans too.
ominous music indeed...

I sometimes feel like the only one on tumblr who remembers Qimir killed Yord, a dumbass nerd, and Jecki, a badass pocket Jedi.
I know he can make soup. Everyone can. It isn’t hard.

They really gave us 20 straight minutes of some of the best lightsaber combat we’ve ever seen and it turned out to be one long thirst trap for Manny Jacinto!?!?! Am I paying for premium?

He killed Jecki. I don't care how his arms and back look or how he bathes with slow languorous strokes in the clearest water or how long he stands there dripping afterwards, I'm not forgiving him for the death of that cinnamon bun.

"was that its name?"
rewatching the acolyte (well, parts of it) and i am currently obsessed with reading into the dialogue with a slightly different perspective. like during jecki's death:
sol: jecki!
the stranger: was that its name?
sol: she was a child.
the stranger [shrugging]: you brought her here.
the first time i watched this scene, i totally thought qimir called jecki "it" at first just to be a dick. but it really speaks to the fact that qimir finds the jedi's values and philosophies to be inherently broken.
was jecki a soldier or a kid? pick one. was she a tool or a child? if she was the latter, why would you bring her here to hunt down a criminal that already killed two masters? obviously this is not a person who will hesitate to kill jedi.
you treated her it like a tool, and now you see the consequences of that unfold right before you; hence qimir makes a point of this. (also interesting to wonder how this could tie into his backstory with vernestra)
why would you bring a kid there? is it the enemy's fault when you choose to bring a child to the battlefield? is the enemy really responsible for her death, or you?
referring to jecki as "it" is, i think, a jab at the jedi for treating their padawan as tools, for choosing specific moments to humanize them or weaponize them (perhaps as his master did to him?) it's not because he didn't see her as a person—it's because he doesn't believe that the jedi truly did.
"the jedi live in a dream... an acolyte kills the dream."
but that's just my two cents.

Yord: Do you think I could fit fifteen marshmallows in my mouth?
Jecki: *sighs* You’re a hazard to society.
Osha: And a coward, do twenty.
