Manny Jacinto has ignited a firestorm across the Star Wars fandom with one simple idea: Qimir isn’t finished yet. As the actor openly expresses his desire to return to the role, fans are rallying around what many now call the most unexpectedly iconic Dark Side presence in recent Star Wars history.
From the moment Qimir appeared on screen, viewers were struck by his chilling composure and magnetic menace. The cortosis helmet, the raw and almost feral lightsaber technique, and the quiet confidence in every confrontation gave the Dark Side something it had been missing for years — style, unpredictability, and aura. Social discussions quickly shifted from “Who is this guy?” to “Why does he feel more dangerous than most Sith we’ve seen?”
What’s fueling the debate now is Jacinto’s enthusiasm to explore Qimir further. Fans are split into camps: one calling for a full solo project centered on Qimir’s past, the other demanding an immediate continuation in a second season. Both sides agree on one thing — letting this character disappear would be a massive mistake.
Critics argue that Star Wars already has too many spin-offs, but supporters counter that Qimir represents something rare: a Dark Side figure who feels new, not recycled. He doesn’t rely on legacy bloodlines or familiar Sith dogma. Instead, he embodies a colder, more intimate threat — one that unsettles without needing spectacle.
As conversations grow louder, pressure is mounting on Lucasfilm. Fans aren’t just asking politely anymore — they’re demanding answers. If Manny Jacinto is ready to return, many believe the real question isn’t if Qimir should come back, but why it hasn’t already been greenlit.
One thing is clear: the Dark Side hasn’t sparked this much excitement in a long time — and fans aren’t ready to let it go.
