Can I give negative stars?
I went into this show with low expectations, the trailers made it pretty clear this was a CW level show at best. And with the first 2 episodes I was already uninterested, but it was about what I expected. A CW style, cheap cosplay show with "expensive" sets, and no real story that compelled the viewer to watch more.
But hey, why not give one more episode a try... That's when I screwed up. By even giving this show a chance, I have permanently damaged my vision and poisoned my love for Star Wars. EP3 was an insulting heep of garbage. Not only did they ignore the lore, they cheapened the Force. And the story makes even less sense than it did after EP2. The writing is so terrible, the acting embarrassing, that chant and dance, OMG.
Star Wars has always had its ups and downs. It's not perfect, but the underlying lore and story make up for flaws in execution.
With the Acolyte, that's all gone, it's all bad. And the story (or lack there of), is the worst part. How can I even say I'm a Star Wars fan now with this associated with the brand? And they spent $180m on this? What a waste. Whatever you do, don't waste your time on this show.
