Mike D. @BuckeyeMike 1d Awful awful! The lightsaber battles were good. See more Ainara S @RT74470054 5d I really liked this absolute master piece i liked how they developed the characters, and i liked how the story ends in the perspective of the villans '' sith'', i hope they would make a season two cause it was amazing. See more Nathan J. @NathanDirector Apr 8 Rating: 5.9/10 ⭐️ I was super curious to dive into a Star Wars story from the villains’ POV, but messy writing left me disappointed. What Worked: Practical sets and location shoots gave the environments a beautifully grounded texture. Jacinto and Lee carry the show with awesome wuxia-inspired lightsaber combat. Through my Methodist faith lens, seeing the Jedi struggle with hidden sins deeply resonated with my belief that no one is perfectly righteous without grace, and covering up the past only breeds darkness. The Cuts: Dumping full flashback episodes in the middle made the mystery really drag for me. Keeping it spoiler-free, character motivations flip-flop so fast it gave me total whiplash, making it super hard to care about their arcs. Since it got canceled, ending an eight-hour mystery on massive cliffhangers is a huge letdown. Verdict: Visually cool but narratively messy. An okay watch for martial arts lightsaber fights, but skip if you hate unresolved cliffhangers. See more Jaycen D. @JDtheGoat Mar 31 Technically there are a few positives to the show. I think the show is well-shot and there’s some good fight choreography (especially in episode 5), but everything else this show tries to do is an absolute embarrassment to Star Wars. I don’t think this is the outright worst thing in existence, but it’s still not a good show.

It’s a shame they cancelled this show. I’ve been a Star Wars fan since early 2000s and I’m loving all the side stories of this universe. Please revive this show! 😭 See more Aaron A @Aajoal Mar 6 The writing and acting for this series clearly demonstrates that Disney lacks the necessary skills to manage its studios. It would be in Disney's best interests to remove The Acolyte from its platform and label it as non-canon to the Star Wars universe. See more Read all reviews
