Star Wars: The Acolyte promises something new, but it left me feeling empty.
I’ve been checked out of Star Wars for quite some time now, more or less since Palpatine infamously – somehow – returned. I’ve kept my eye on the discourse that came with every subsequent project, and from what I’ve seen, it’s mostly been Disney nullshowing pictures of characters people know and everybody clapping at it.
The Acolyte was supposed to be different, a new series unconnected to the Skywalker story, set in the golden age of the Jedi. Unfortunately, if the first two episodes are anything to go by, the golden age of the Jedi is boring as heck
On a basic level, The Acolyte is about two twins who were separated at a young age after a terrible tragedy saw their hometown burned to the ground. One, Osha, found her way into the Jedi Order before quitting and becoming a meknek, an illegal freelance mechanic. The other, Mae, seems to have fallen in with some kind of dark entity, who trained her to use the Force.
