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.

Dusney's Star Wars is way beyond redemption, I'd cared less about it since 'The Force Awakens', and I've stopped caring about it after watching the crud that is 'The Last Jedi'. I have the complete George Locas' Star Wars boxset, did not even consider buying or streaming any Disney Star Wars releases.

Wait, let me correct that, Rogue One was actually good, and that's the way to introduce a strong female character, one who's vulnerable, yet determined and strong....and not like how George Lucas had expressed his disdain for disney's "putting a woman in a pants and expect her to be a hero"....or, some akin to that. Andor was good too, a little dry at times, but good storyline and characters. The Acolyte is what happens when a talentless hack is left to take charge of the show, 180 million bucks (probably more) pissed down the proverbial drain....

Andor was too boring for my liking. i switched off half way through the first season.

LOL, even the Critic score over at RT is tanking, was at 90 due to shills, but now down to 70's....lordy, even the shills could not help this heap of stinking turd.

Time to send in more stormtroopers lol.

They can't hit anything with their blasters, that's why the women had to make a baby! Ha!

Yet Andor is one of the series that have been best recieved.. think about that for a secound (I don´t think Andor is a great show btw.. I guess its decent for what it tries..)

I'm happy to see Disney continue to lose billions while they push their dei agenda. The fact that their attitude is "we are minorities or part of the alphabet crew it can't possibly be our fault that the show sucks must be those toxic males" means they aren't going to right that ship any time soon.

That is their entire attitude and they seem to think that they are to big to fail.

Didn't George sold it's brainchild to Disney? It obviously won't be the same. It's a completely different person.

So long as Kathleen Kennedy and the Disney people are behind it pushing agendas and not sticking to what the whole franchise is about originally when George Lucas put it out there, of course it's not going to be that well received in general.

With the latest three films and recent attempts at new series coming out, some being successful, while others are rotten through and through. They are still looking for their golden goose, a series that can last many seasons and something that can make a lot of dollars for Disney.

you guys... .she just wants to pull the thread... like her mama said... 'pull it...'

all your critiques and you're gonna bully her into not pulling the thread...

[AustrAlien2010]

I don't mean to bully anyone. I am sure Disney will spare no expense to make it exactly as the original.

People that did not watch the series and wanna see what E3 was all about can watch this

Its a random youtube I found and I don´t know their bias. You could also just google it yourself.. but basically everything leakers have been said is true so far and this is not just some new take, this is lore defining changes in masse and not for anything I like.

Make up your own mind ofc.. But this could really hurt SW so much that fans might even not watch new series, even if they end up being good...
The real question is if they have enough new modern viewers that wants this.. if so its fine and they should just have fun.. there are so many other alternatives and new franchises that it does not bother me to much.

Jar Jar binks was also created via the thread. He is not only an undercover Sith, he is also one of the most powerful creatures, weaved by a much larger covern of witches.

Anakin was nothing special, if you look at the twins here, then they both predate Anakin and they also seem stronger.

This isn't a new low, it's the same low that the Woke (Intersectional Neo-Marxists) always offer. They don't want to tell you a story that you want to hear, they want to tell you THEIR story, and it's always the same one because they are indoctrinated Communists. For all the talk about lived experiences, isn't it amazing that they ALWAYS come up with the same ♥♥♥♥?

I don't even have to watch this show to know what it is about. The Jedi order is oppressive, it needs to be reformed, and some other force is going to bring balance with a totally contrived story. It's a tale as old as Materialist Dialectics. The characters don't really matter, it's fine to create fanfic self-inserts or Mary Sues, the class warfare and the Revolution do. We've only seen this a billion times.

This will just be another example, like the Fallout TV show, where the Woke wreck a franchise. I know a lot of people enjoyed the Fallout show but they missed the theme, even though the writers straight up TOLD them what it would be. Why is the Brotherhood so bad? Why did Vault-Tec start the war? Why is the heroine a Communist who needless slaughtered Vault Dwellers? Same ♥♥♥♥, different toilet.

Disney picks the worst people to represent diversity in society

I can guarantee you that behind the actual production it's just a bunch of straight white dudes who act like they "know" how to present diversity appropriately
