Acolyte's bad boy makes the Sith look so good

Manny Jacinto is hot; this is known. But The Acolyte makes great use of this fact by leaving the show's demonstration of the seductive nature of the Dark Side of the Force in his very capable hands (and very strong biceps). And honestly? The Sith have never looked better.

Episode 6 of The Acolyte, "Teach/Corrupt", continues the dueling storylines of Mae and Osha (both played by Amandla Stenberg), with the twins switching places. Now Mae is on a ship with Sol (Lee Jung-jae), whom she plans to kill, and Osha has been kidnapped (or "rescued") by Qimir (Jacinto), whom she hopes to kill – or at least, she thinks so . She follows him to his swimming hole, watches him undress, tries to take his lightsaber (not a euphemism), almost tries to kill him, but then… talks to him.

And how can you not listen to this man who is so calm, cool and collected. Maybe he's wearing something – he's a self-proclaimed Sith (basically), so, yeah, he probably is. But it is understandable that Osha wants to get to the root of him. He continues to place himself squarely in her orbit, unbothered except when he is intensely focused on her, making her embrace his power.
