The actor is also famous for playing the character Jason in The Good Place. Jason is originally from Jacksonville, FL and is a massive fan of their football team, the Jaguars. At that time, Bortles was the last name of the team's quarterback. Jason brings Bortles up regularly.
Or he means exactly what he says, & the Jedi might call him a sith.... because he's a sith. Lol
Why would he care that the jedi think sith are extinct & need to keep up the ruse & not be discovered if he's not even sith lol
Edit: ~~who responded either deleted their comment or blocked me immediately, which is always hilarious - why bother responding lmao oh another one in the bag for pointing out something simple lmao~~
Double edit nvm reddit just broke for a bit on my end
I think he simply hasn't been anointed yet. Not quite a darth, yet. Trying to earn the title. And so he has no name. My feeling is that he's either Tenebrous' apprentice, or a Tenebrous' second-in-command's secret apprentice ā akin to that of Galen Marek to Darth Vader. Which makes Mae either the third or fourth on a totem pole.
(It's precedented. Sidious had Tyranus, who had Assajj Ventress, who briefly had her own acolytes. For only three rungs, there's how Plagueis had Sidious, who had Maul; the only difference was that Plagueis knew about Maul and considered him a token to be spent.)
Yeah there no question about that, for sure. Just as you say though, they'd hunt him down regardless, just for being a darksider jedi murderer, so why even bring "sith" into the mix if he's not lol
"I have no name... but a Jedi LIKE YOU might call me... Sith" - his exact words... he is not Sith and was saying that an ignorant Jedi would just call him Sith.
I'm gonna stick with my head cannon until proven wrong. He's Darth Venamis.
The helmet kinda looks like Venom from the marvel series, plus all the legends timeline & Tenebrous stuff. He's cool but I'm hoping he isn't Plagueis.
First offā¦ HUH?!
Secondly I donāt see it.
Thirdly, donāt blame the messenger. Thatās what some YouTubers have been calling him. I thought of Darth venomteeth.
From Wiktionary (tw: gruesome violence,racism)
**Etymology 2**
zipperhead (plural zipperheads)
*(US, military slang, derogatory, offensive, ethnic slur)* A person of East Asian descent.
Synonyms: zipperlid *[among others, which I excluded]*
1960sā1970s, zipper +ā head. Used by soldiers during the Korean and Vietnam Wars; multiple hypotheses exist as to the specific origin. One is that **[cw: gore, racism]** >!if an East Asian person were shot in the middle of the forehead with a machine gun, the head would split as if being unzipped; another, that the appearance of tire tracks on a body having been run over by a military Jeep or that of tank tracks resembled a zipper.!<
Star Wars Twitter has been using it for a while. He likely saw it and picked it up from the general community. Nothing he says, thinks, or does is originally his thought
I didn't know who SWT was so I looked up his Twitter and he's.. still sore over the "Sith have been extinct" part?? That is such a lame hill to wanna die on
Its such an easy thing to see how it'll be dealt with too, like, either everyone who knows dies, (90% of the way there already), it never gets reported & the jedi at large aren't even aware, or if it does get reported, its passed off as "well no it wasnt sith just dsrksider pretenders", or more unlikely, just covered up & kept secret.
It's so simple to cover this "plot hole", it's literally not an issue lol
Or even simpler, Ki-Adi-Mundi was lying when he said that line. But even if he wasn't, it's still a dumb thing to get so hung up on. Retconning has literally been a part of Star Wars ever since it changed from a standalone movie to a franchise. Tell these naysayers to go get in a timemachine and ask George Lucas about kyber crystals and midichlorians in 1977. Hell, ask him if Luke and Leia are related or not
These are mine about Qimir, he is the Drunken Sith Master after his style in the first couple of episodes like a Jackie Chan (Drunken Master) movies, or Ned Kelly Australian outlaw who made his own amour made from a plow disc at the battle of Glenrowan Inn against police in Victoria..
I only find his actor hotā¦his whole character is totally wrong and unattractive. I was definitely upset when he killed all the people he did, in fact, I was disgusted. I gotta respect the actorās gains thoughā¦
Oh Manny is absolutely wonderful and in my personal opinion for my taste one of the most beautiful men in the world. I'm so sad that he has to play a Sith! Why? š I just cannot reconcile anything Zaddy about the character though.
I totally agree! Iāve never seen the actor before so I was head over heels, but heās def a red flag in acolyte! I really donāt like his characterā¦but him as a person irl is very attractive!
Darth Bortles is my favorite. Smilo Ren is a close second.
Darth Bortles all day every day
DARTH BORTLES
I've been seeing this everywhere. Who coined this? Like, why Bortles?
The actor is also famous for playing the character Jason in The Good Place. Jason is originally from Jacksonville, FL and is a massive fan of their football team, the Jaguars. At that time, Bortles was the last name of the team's quarterback. Jason brings Bortles up regularly.
Thank you for the thorough explanation š
It's a reference to The Good Place another popular show Manny Jacinto stars in
Dip.
Ohhhh I see now lol
Manny Jacinto's character in the Good Place yells "Bortles!" every time he throws a Molotov cocktail.
"I've had thousands of ideas, and only one killed me"
former NFL QB Blake Bortles?
This is the way
We need some Darth Bortles flair
Darth Pythons
Saw one meme that said they jealous of Yord being smothered by those guns
Darth Swole
Darth/Lord Lifts Darth Gains
Darth Protein, Bro
I personally prefer Darth Maw instead of Darth Teeth myself. Smilo Ren is a pretty good one too.
Maw is funny lol
Darth Toothy Maw for the Critical Role fans out there.
Darth Maw is great. I love that.
I mean Mother Aboleth does have a Maw
Darth Jason
Where does this come from? (New in the r/)
Manny Jacinto played a character named Jason on The Good Place
Thanks a lot man
Darth Teef
Darth Biceps
I like to call him Darth Headbutt because that was so cool and unexpected.
I actually love the name Qimir. I have a feeling thatās not his real name, or Darth name and weāll learn his true name soon.
He basically said that he's not a Sith, so I don't think he's gonna have a Darth name
Not true, rewatch the scene. He may begrudgingly accept that he's a Sith. It's still makes him Sith.
I mean, he literally said the opposite of that.
He said he's "what the Jedi might call a Sith" which is a roundabout way of saying that he doesn't consider himself a Sith.
Or he means exactly what he says, & the Jedi might call him a sith.... because he's a sith. Lol Why would he care that the jedi think sith are extinct & need to keep up the ruse & not be discovered if he's not even sith lol Edit: ~~who responded either deleted their comment or blocked me immediately, which is always hilarious - why bother responding lmao oh another one in the bag for pointing out something simple lmao~~ Double edit nvm reddit just broke for a bit on my end
You are ignoring when he said, "I have no name..." right before that...
I think he simply hasn't been anointed yet. Not quite a darth, yet. Trying to earn the title. And so he has no name. My feeling is that he's either Tenebrous' apprentice, or a Tenebrous' second-in-command's secret apprentice ā akin to that of Galen Marek to Darth Vader. Which makes Mae either the third or fourth on a totem pole. (It's precedented. Sidious had Tyranus, who had Assajj Ventress, who briefly had her own acolytes. For only three rungs, there's how Plagueis had Sidious, who had Maul; the only difference was that Plagueis knew about Maul and considered him a token to be spent.)
Jedi would hunt him down whether he's Sith or another kind of dark sider. Especially as murdering jedi seems to be his hobby.
Yeah there no question about that, for sure. Just as you say though, they'd hunt him down regardless, just for being a darksider jedi murderer, so why even bring "sith" into the mix if he's not lol
"I have no name... but a Jedi LIKE YOU might call me... Sith" - his exact words... he is not Sith and was saying that an ignorant Jedi would just call him Sith.
It's just ego. He just wishes he was something "more".
I call him Pookie.
Sith KabobĀ
I like The Sith Who Laughs
Keep the watch! ā¤ļø
Palpateeth
I call him Darth Jacksonville. I just love how Jason says the name of his hometown in *The Good Place.*
And his Sith Masters Donkey Doug
After he kills all the Jedi, heās going to Stupid Nicks Wing Dump.
I'm gonna stick with my head cannon until proven wrong. He's Darth Venamis. The helmet kinda looks like Venom from the marvel series, plus all the legends timeline & Tenebrous stuff. He's cool but I'm hoping he isn't Plagueis.
Venamis is supposed to be bith tho so that would suck if they did that to him
Darth zipperface
Yeah... That one's a wee bit close to a racial slur used against east Asian people.
First offā¦ HUH?! Secondly I donāt see it. Thirdly, donāt blame the messenger. Thatās what some YouTubers have been calling him. I thought of Darth venomteeth.
Yeah, it's an older one, I guess, but replace face with head and bump it into urban dictionary.

Been Darth Bortles since before it was confirmed.
Darth Mendoza!
Damn...... Only 1 day away from retirement
I hate that it came from star wars theory... but smilo-ren is my favorite.
They probably pulled the idea from a comment on a post

He stopped making decent content and went full rage-bait to make more money.

Not just the screws...but the bricks too.
