    I can think of the most important reason to watch The Acolyte. Its to understand and learn what NOT to do when crafting a Star Wars story.

      Thanks for your comment, agree that there are definitely areas that need to be improved, which we covered in our previous review. However, we felt that there were a few areas which we thought were entertaining. I wish we could go back to the standards of the originals (the only true Star Wars) but that is not where we are at.

    No offense but need to get some more knowledge about things if you are going to comment on them.
    The fight scenes were not very good. It was The Sequel style of fighting... flashy and aiming at the lightsaber or nothing.. spins and flips that serve no purpose. Decisions during the fight not because it makes sense for the fight... but because a Master Jedi would destroy Mae in hand to hand.. unless they handicapped her. Its not logical and it shows people that were ok with it, dont know shit about real fighting or fighting techniques. And yes if this is your level of insight... I stopped at number 1.

    I thought it was sarcasm at first, as there aren't 5 things worth a damn in this whole "show", but being totally fair, I'm still not exactly sure what I'm even watching, the closest thing that comes to mind probably is RLM's Nerd Crew. "don't ask questions, just buy product"!!
    Anyhow, if you're genuinely excited about this absolute train wreck of a show, and really think anything in it was "unpredictable" (😂🤣😂), bless your hearts guys, but I really have a hard time believing any mentally sound adult with a passion for this stuff, can be so enormously out of touch.

    I enjoyed the Acolyte. The fighting was excellent. I enjoyed the storytelling style, it was exciting to have to unfold the truth from misdirection, lousy memories. It touched on the issues I think many of us see as potential pitfalls for an organization such as the Jedi. It was fun to have my emotions pulling me to cheer on the baddies. I've been a Star Wars fan since I was 5, I am now 49. I remember when as a young adult I wasn't sure of the prequels and the difference to my nostalgia or preformed ideas. But then I grew up a bit more.

    I've been going one by one analyzing these characters like a science project, starting with Mae because she seems the most misunderstood. And it's actually kind of remarkable to actually think through their motivations. Time will vindicate this show, as it vindicated Hayden for the fandom. It's a decent entry in the universe. A lot of people are uncomfortable with the portrayal of the Jedi as not perfect or infallible, uncomfortable with the main having some distant similarities with their self-insert guy, and justifying their emotions by calling it bad writing.

    Reason #1 you can see acting/directing at its worst so we can see how much they can improve. #2 terrible writing at its finest so we can see how incoherent and incompetent the show writer is. #3 there is some rather flashy and decent fights which was overshadowed by the lack of understanding of how the Force works which leads into #4 the Force is only used for plot convenience with no practical application used which shows us that we need Disney to get show runners who understands Star Wars. #5 we had those "interesting" interviews after every episode where Leslye Weinstein had to explain the episode since the acting and directing was all over the place. Bonus thing this show accomplished was bring people together regardless of gender or color in clapping back against this travesty of a show

The show wasnt some grammy winning out of this world series. It was a decent side story of star wars. 6.5-7 out of 10. Nothing crazy. I enjoyed it and was entertaining. These guys expect it to be Game of Thrones or Braveheart when its originally for teens and kids lol like relax dudes.
