Revenge/Justice

I have defended every Disney Star Wars project to date (except The Last Jedi) but I can't let this one go. I really hoped I wouldn't get to a point where I would say that Disney has ruined Star Wars but I am finally here. This show is absolute trash. The premise had so much potential, but the script is terrible. Might be the first ever Star Wars project I don't even finish. No desire to continue watching, even with nothing else on currently. It's so sad too when you wait so long for something Star Wars related to come out. I can only pray Andor season 2 will be as good as the first. Now that's how you write a show.

Instead of a two part opener. This could had easily been combined with the first episode.

The flat script and the earnest acting did not help the opening minutes. It felt too vanilla.

Also being just too late to save the next victim from his fate was a trope that could quickly become tiring.

The saving grace is that Acolyte does have few gears to crank. The mystery is just what did these four Jedis do in the past. What guilty sin are they shouldering?

This includes Master Sol, his name is in the hitlist.

So there is a mystery worth exploring but also just what to do with the Osha and Mae saga.

The writing and acting will certainly need to pep up a bit.

The writers move the plot along through scenes that mostly work, but for me they should be more compelling than they are. I am still held by the central mystery, but the characters stop me from consistently enjoying it. It does not help that you want to overarching narrative to move on and reveal the key points already. For me the few attempts at humour do not work and feel quite forced.

That being said the important arc involving Amandla Stenberg's character does make me want to find out where it's going. It's concept of the old Jedi order is a pretty good one so far, but I will hold off on judgement until the story develops further. I have a slightly bad feeling that if it does not take us to something that cleverly relates to some of the movies I will be disappointed.

It does though end on a new hope with the introduction of what has the potential to be a cool new character, but it's still early days.

Lol. When the tour group is heading straight to the floating jedi dude, but the Main character breaks away, she somehow finds a shortcut and beats everyone there? Dude. That is so bad its freaking hilarious. Is this a plot hole? It sounds like bad tv just to introduce the anxiety, only for it to not matter 3 seconds later when the other young jedi confirms her story...

like so that means she either found a shortcut that no one else knew about..and this is her first time there too...Or the group stopped for a coffee break, which is never shown, unfortunately. I would have liked to see them having some coffee.

This is slightly better than the last episode because it has a few less insanely stupid plot holes (that lifting the dirt up was still pretty stupid). Also slightly more funny than the last one and brings some ok tension in the story.
