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



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

The 'misunderstanding' that is happening is on purpose. It's a thing they do.

100% facts. As soon as i saw the name i was like '"why are you humoring this poster". lol

If the OP says red, they will argue blue.

If you defend green, they will fight for yellow.

Some people are here just to 'stir the pot'. nothing more.

Yes Sir, that's how it goes with Steam.

It will be interesting to see what happens tomorrow.
The early viewers that saw the first 4 episodes have never seen E5.

Indeed its not particular liked, even by the mainstream.
It is like Headland tried to cater to the wrong target audience... but well.

As you might see however, we do have people in this thread that think the series is good or even one of the best SW series, so the target audience do exist, it just don´t seem like they are alot.

The problem with Star Wars isn't that we're seeing Lesbian Space Witches that Birthed the Force. It's that we're seeing Lesbian Space Witches that Birthed the Force with bad writing. Which is what we see with many "woke" writers.

"Woke" doesn't encourage people to be their best.

They have this idea of what they want to inject into the storyline and very often it has nothing to do with the original creation and they aren't skilled in general and aren't able to inject it into the storyline and we get crap. Good writers probably wouldn't make the blunder to begin with but they could turns Lesbian Space Witches that Birthed the Force into something good.

** I bet you could create an alternative thread to this one thinking up how to improve the storyline and end up getting Steam members who could write better then what we're seeing.

I like the show but i'm certainly not going on Rotten Tomato or any of those BS review sites to post my opinion about it.

The Acolyte is a bad show even without the woke-ism. Poorly written, cringey, and lore-breaking.

You'd have to be brain dead to enjoy Star Wars at this point. It would be nice if the regressive weirdos at Disney would go create their own IP instead of ruining a beloved franchise, but we all know that the woke are incapable of being creative.

Nor do I
But disregarding those sites is also ilogical.. if we look on the internet and ask people around us, you will notice that you are a minority in liking the show.. its not some made up hatred or anything (I don´t hate it, I just don´t think its a well written series)

While Amazon do own IMDB now, they are ie. considered a very reliable source of information for both critics or users, but ofc.. since its open source..

I am yet to meet anyone in real life that watch the Acolyte and think its great.
The vast majority of people will ask "what is that" and the SW fans (work/family/friends) have said they wont touch it.. Its funny because many of the younger (these are still ie. in their 30´s) will tell me that a show such as Ahsoka is decent (not great) Andor is always put a tad above, as just above it, but still not great.

People often do get more critical when IP´s are mass spammed into different directions, we see this with Marvel content as well, so we have to take that into account.

The force has been reduced to that? Geez. The force is supposed be an analogy for the dangers of containing male energy until it snaps. That's why SW had so many male fans, it tapped into a condition males have so few words for, like the effects of militarism on the male psyche. Lucas knew very well what he was doing when he wrote SW, and it's a bad move to steal from people their own particular stories to help them understand themselves.

George Lucas was influenced by mythological storytelling and Joseph Campbell's "The Hero with a Thousand Faces." Lucas aimed to create a modern myth that would resonate with contemporary audiences, particularly young men.

However, that was the original Star Wars.

The story arcs have extended far beyond that now and examined topics ranging from political corruption to philosophical concepts.
