What really disappoints me about the reception of The Acolyte is that it just goes to show that Star Wars fans can't give anything new a chance. Finally a show that doesn't focus on the Skywalker era, with all new characters in a completely different historical period in Star Wars History. The fact that just after 2 episodes setting up the story that the show has bombed in ratings is extremely dissapointing. After years of shows like The Book of Boba Fett, and The Bad Batch you have to give props for the Acolyte for trying to tell something original in a franchise that has been delving up old ideas for years at this point. Quite frankly, after 2 episodes the criticism is not deserved. The story has barely had anytime to get off the ground, and Star Wars fans should be more perceptive to being shown new stories.
