Just watch Andor, watch a brilliant series with a plot, characters you care about, where things don't just happen to move the story along, where actors can act, where brilliant writers and directors understand how to make fantastic stories, where it feels like star wars.
The acolyte was supposed to be about the Sith instead we got as the creator describes it Frozen for a adult audience. If that's how she got the job what's the next creator going to say this will be a sith political series...think pinocchio for adults.
I don't care what inspiration you use just make it good, make it memorable, make star wars.

You know how most season finale's tend to wrap-up the various plotlines, bringing together multiple separate threads into a satisfying revelation, perhaps leaving a few open to setup the next series? Not this show!
The Acolyte ends by just making its own story pointless and meaningless. Characters completely change their world view and allegiances in an instant. They use cheap tactics like mind-wiping to get rid of plot inconveniences. Then the show just ends. A few people have died, a few people have changed sides and that's it.
The thought The Acolyte left me with was "what was the point of all of that?"
Side note: Amandla Stenberg fighting herself might just be the worst action scene I've ever seen. I can understand the challenges posed with having to stitch together two shots of an actor fighting to make it look like their fighting themselves but the choreography is AWFUL and Amandla looks so wooden and awkward. It feels like this was not in the original script and thrown in at the last second without giving her any time to train/practice.

This show is very underwritten and just bad tv. Disney is forcing shows because "its the wave". Good shows like House of the Dragon are succesfull because episodes are 1hr long and each episode is its own story. The Acoloyte uses 2 30 minute episodes to show one night. It shows the same story twice through a different perspective but the second perspective doesnt change anything. Its just bad TV. If they made this a movie and really focused on a good script and making the whole movie feel connected, it would have been good. The only shows disney have made which work are Andor and Mando. Each episode is different with sub stories while each epsidoe drives the main plot forward. Everything else theyve made, beside the animated shows, should be movies.
The season finale was above average for Acolyte's standard throughout it's 8 episodes. That's not a compliment though.. It's better than terrible but worse than good.
In terms of their "sith focused" show that was sold as "Frozen meets Kill Bill" - I didn't see anything remotely Sith, Frozen or Kill Bill..
The writing was bad. It seemed like the writers knew where they wanted to go, but had zero clue as to how to get there. From there the story was simplistic with no complexity. Empty on Star Wars lore, depth or mythology which I guess is why they added the twins? - To add some drama to this otherwise empty show.
The storytelling was even worse. With an estimated $180 million budget - it looked terrible. It sounded terrible. How does it sound terrible?! This is STAR WARS?! Or it should be.. Sound have been Star Wars' stronger side?!
Character design and development were bad. Almost every set looked feeble, small in scale and often fake. Every jedi looked generic and the acting was even worse; Except for Lee Jung-Jae, he did brilliantly.. Too bad his character wasn't written brilliantly.
"A good novel tells us the truth about its hero; but a bad novel tells us the truth about its author."
And this show tells us a lot of truths about it's writers..

- The plot, the themes and the dialogue are somewhat contradictory. They do not line up, which give the episode finale and series in general, this sense of being "all over the place".

In my review of the first episode. I said this was Star Wars as a mystery.
In the end there was no mystery here, apart from how this rubbish was ever greenlit.
As I may have mentioned before. I'm not really a Star Wars fan, more of a Trekkie. So I never view it as a fanboy, especially the toxic kind that froths like a mad bovine on YouTube.
The finale is an incoherent mess and I dread to think there could be a second season of this garbage.
Sol is a rubbish Jedi, it's like he passed as a Jedi master because someone felt sorry for him. He gets the basics wrong and that means explaining to Osha and Mae how their mother really died.
The Acolyte has no good guys. Osha and Mae have effectively gone over to the dark side. The Jedi are also lying, deceitful monsters. No wonder Senator Rayencourt has their number.

¿Sabías que…?
- TriviaFirst time in a series or film that the process of bleeding a kyber crystal is shown, the only other time the bleeding process has been seen on screen was when the fallen Jedi Dagan Gera's (who was from the High Republic era) rage and hatred corrupted his kyber crystal while he was dueling former Padawan Cal Kestis in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor (2023). The reason ligthsabers carried by the Sith and Dark Jedi are red is because the kyber crystal has been corrupted by the dark side of the Force, a dark side adept uses the Force to bend the crystal to their will, this process changes the color of the crystal to red. The canon comic book "Darth Vader" reveals that when a Sith Lord makes their first lightsaber they must kill a Jedi in combat and take the crystal from their lightsaber and bleed it to use as their own, which is why the Stranger tasked Mae to kill a Jedi without using a weapon. The canon novel "Ahsoka" (2016) also reveals that the light side of the Force can "heal" a red kyber crystal and remove the corruption, turning the crystal's color white. Which is why Ahsoka Tano's lightsabers in Star Wars Rebels (2014), The Mandalorian (2019) & Ahsoka (2023) have white blades, she took the kyber crystals from an Inquisitor's lightsaber after defeating him in a duel and healed them with the light side and used them in her newly constructed sabers.
- ErroresWhen Sol killed Mae and Osha's mother he did so because it appeared she was trying to absorb Mae's life force into hers, Mae could even be seen beginning to vanish. He thought she was killing Mae, yet he doesn't explain this to either of the sisters. He tells them he did it to protect them but without explaining what Mae's mother was doing, or at least what he thought she was doing, his claim of protecting them doesn't make as much sense.
- Citas
Senator Rayencourt: You don't like me. You think my campaign for an external review of the Jedi is a personal vendetta.
Vernestra Rwoh: If you want my honest opinion, yes.
Senator Rayencourt: Good. Here's mine. I think the Jedi are a massive system of unchecked power, posing as a religion, a delusional cult that claims to control the uncontrollable.
Vernestra Rwoh: We don't control the Force.
Senator Rayencourt: Not the Force. Your emotions. You project an imagine of goodness and restraint, but it's only a matter of time before one of you snaps. And when, not 'if', that happens, who will be strong enough to stop him?
Vernestra Rwoh: That's certainly an opinion, and not one shared by the rest of the Senate.
Senator Rayencourt: The majority of my colleagues can't imagine a galaxy without the Jedi. And I can understand why. When you're looking up to heroes, you don't have to face what's right in front of you.
