The Acolyte (Cancelled) - A new low for Star Wars?

[AdahnGorion]

The new Acolyte series is out now (with two episodes) and the reception have been lukewarm so far. Currently it is sitting at 4.9 stars on IMDB

I am sure that Amazon (whom owns IMDB) will remove many reviews, but it still seems like most "fans" dislike the new approach that was tried with this new series.
The series is created by Leslye Headland, whom is well know for controversial talks about what they think SW fans are and that they want a new fanbase.

Their approach to me would be the same if you tried to sell boats in Nepal, insisting that even if there is no need or demand for it, then the Nepalese would just be discriminative or bigots, if they did not buy said boats....... seems really odd.


Have you seen the series? what do you think about it? do you want to see it? do you think the reviews are trolling or genuine? lets us all know in the comments.


Personally I don´t think there is anything wrong with the series outside what looks like a lack of demand. It does seem like many reviews are genuine and that the story, characters and so forth feel pretty flat and uninteresting. I fully respect people that might like this, but I think its far away from classic SW lore.

This show have been cancelled!

Have a wonderful day all and remember to be friendly and constructive.

The Acolyte is cringe

Everybody is allowed to have an opinion. I would like to know why ypu think its cringe

[Mr. Tex]

They don't actually care about lore or anything Star Wars in reality, it's just a cheap cash-grab as with every superhero movie since Endgame or every endless remake. They are using these franchises' names to trick genuine fans into buying cheap soulles shovelware ... that's modern Hollywood in a nutshell for you: shovelware.

If you're going to make a blood-money cleaner, or a cash grab, my not make one to advertise your virtue

It's all about pushing the Alphabet people's agenda.

Indeed and I will ask you the same as I did them.
Why do you think the show is cool?

[Groogo]

It's almost over. 13% fan approval at Rotten Tomatoes. Finances for the show are drying up.
Sets are being dismantled. Merchandising is being cancelled.

Your beer advertises to someone not like you.. it's woke.
When a show is a let down... it's because of woke.
When your spouse cheats on you... yup woke is to blame.
When you step in gum... it's woke gum.
When you can't get laid.... woke.
When you do get laid and your pee pee hurts after....yup, you got woke.
Everything bad in the universe is because of woke.
Woke, woke, woke, woke.

The problem here isn't progressive values, inclusiveness etc
The problem is vocabulary, or more accurately, the lack thereof.

Lesbians space witches creating the force is pretty woke my friend...

And progressives don't have values, and they don't value inclusiveness their value their own branch of "preachings" and scorn anyone who doesn't repeat it, which very often fall flat as a Priest that can't be bothered to follow his own religion.

The right kind of space lesbians could be HUGELY popular...even invigorate people to the Star War series and maybe bring in a few new different types of crowd. But "woke" aren't the right type.

Never had a SW show set during the High Republic era. That's interesting. I also like the characters. Wookie Jedi even if only conceptual is bonus points. I like Osha and Mae too.

The Witch force is nothing new, Mandalorian and Ahsoka dealt with witch covens that used the force. But in this show, the coven is into life bringing as opposed to the covens in Ahsoka which were into necromancy.

Lowbacca remains the best wookiee jedi.

You think you're trolling others, but at the end of the day, you're actually only trolling yourself.

Yep, that drew an immediate use of my forum options.
