Star Wars: The Acolyte (it’s dead Jim)

Acolyte isn't as bad as people are saying, but the settings feels slightly off somehow. The writing isn't the highest quality either.

Mandalorian and Andor did a much better job at re-creating the Statwars movie feel and aesthetics.

I got put off by episode 3, which is (IMHO) the worst episode of Star Wars TV to date. I wasn't going to bother watching any more after that.

But after hearing about episode 5, I caught back up this week and I'm glad I did. It certainly picked up with episodes 4-6. Still not amazing, but far from the worst thing Disney have done with Star Wars.

Generally I enjoy most things Star Wars, but after only two episodes even I think this is bad.

 

[Nasher]

Yep, first few episodes aren't great, it gets better after 3. It's like they realised and did some re-editing.

 

[C Kent]

If by better you mean just as bad, yeah sure. But it's got a badly choreographed fight scene in ep 5 with lightsabers so the easily pleased are happy enough

Rotten Tomatoes actually removed the audience score for this show. It's just greyed out. Has this happened before?

That doesn’t make sense. Surely you should grey out both or none?

IMDb score is like a 3/10. Very bad.

It was either 'fixed' or was a bit of a nothingburger

The Star Wars Holiday Special. No question.

Seems like they have corrected whatever was the technical glitch to give them the benefit of doubt.

Only Andor performed worse than Acolyte!!

Is that in respect to viewing figures? Which is a real shame because Andor is without a doubt in the top tier of Disney Star Wars productions. It's a completely different beast to Obi Wan and Bobba Fett for instance.

Ironic isn't it that the Best Star Wars TV show gets the lowest viewing figures, I guess it lacked brand visibility and came after a run of dross.
