Star Wars never really ventured too much on n*dity as it maintains a wholesome vibe for fans of all ages. However, The Acolyte may be starting to be more open-minded when it comes to baring bodies as seen in Episode 6. After all, Princess Leia did it in Star Wars: Episode VI – Return of the Jedi.
The latest episode of The Acolyte shocked fans to the core after witnessing another topless scene from one of its main stars, but of course, don’t expect too much because it is still a Disney+ show.
Qimir’s Bathing Scene In The Acolyte Is Driving Fans Wild
After Manny Jacinto’s Qimir was revealed to be a Sith Lord, his impressive fight scene with Lee Jung-jae’s Sol, and his well-toned arms that fans are currently obsessing about, he laid it all bare with an undressing scene that put everyone at the edge of their seats.
Episode 6’s Teach/Corrupt saw Osha waking up in a cave with complete stock, including food and water, and her wounds carefully treated. Surveying the area, she finds a bag with a knife and some clothes. As she wanders on the rocky beach, she realizes she’s in an unknown island. She spots Qimir along the shore.
The villain removes his clothes as he prepares to take a plunge in the water, showing off his toned back and chest for the fangirls out there. Osha finds his lightsaber and takes it, although the other is aware of her presence. He confronts her and moves out of the water, still n*ked and leaving the rest to the imagination.
This scene blew up on social media and fans talked about how they expected to see more. Check out their reactions below:

Star Wars won’t probably push this type of scene too far from what’s admissible. Still, it added a little spice and excitement to the episode on top of its already intriguing plot.
Carrie Fisher Felt Nervous Wearing Princess Leia’s Gold Metal Bikini
Carrie Fisher’s Princess Leia notably did a scene similar to Qimir in Star Wars: Episode VI – Return of the Jedi. Who would ever forget that gold metal bikini that almost sent a shock to every young fanboy? The late actress recalled her experience in an interview with Fresh Air via NPR:
It was like, ‘Where am I in all of this?’ I have to stay with the slug with the big tongue! Nearly naked, which is not a style choice for me. It wasn’t my choice. When [director George Lucas] showed me the outfit, I thought he was kidding and it made me very nervous.
Fisher absolutely pulled it off and it easily became one of the most unforgettable things about that installment. It even became a fashion statement as cosplayers who attended conventions confidently sported the same outfit, a testament to Princess Leia’s impact on pop culture.
The Acolyte still has two episodes left, and fans can stream the show via Disney+.
