So OSHA leaves with her kidnapper and the murderer of 8 to 10 Jedi, including 2 of her "friends," Jecki and Yord. She also goes along with wiping her twin sisters mind, essentially killing her, and OSHA killed her own former master. Is this supposed to make her good or compelling in some way? This is Leslie's idea of a "hero?" If so, Leslie is morally bankrupt.

This show was over the second it became clear that Headland doesn't understand that the Sith are evil. You can't make anything with such faulty foundations, where you don't even understand the basic fundamental reality of Star Wars. This became all too evident in this last episode, where Osha falling to the dark side and killing her master is not portrayed as tragic and horrible, but justified and triumphant. This show is so morally bankrupt, and filled with hate for the jedi, that it feels like it was written by an actual Sith Lord.

@@Norvik_-ug3ge Yeah that senator guy just turning up at the end, and giving a whole speech about "jedi bad", was basically Headland getting up on her high horse and lecturing the audience about how they should feel about this. The true irony of that scene, is that the jedi being too involved with the senate is exactly why they ended up getting purged in the prequels.

If you told me the script was written by AI, I'd just go "Now things are starting to make sense". There's like no object permanence, sense of time and place, or consistent characterizations. If this isn't due to AI, the writing team must've been particularly inane. It almost feels like every other scene is from a different version of the script.

You know what’s really ironic? Star Wars already has witches, and they’re a lot cooler than the ones from Acolyte. They died in an epic battle protecting their home of Dathomir, they had honor, power, a sisterhood. The Nightsisters died fighting to the end, and ruled their planet of Dathomir. The witches in Acolyte ruled a dinky little island on some forgettable planet, and all died from fire and a bad headache.

Other shows may have been bad, but The Acolyte has made it difficult for Star Wars fans to be taken seriously. A guy in the 80s with a Yoda tattoo between his butt-cheeks was "cooler" than someone who watched and enjoyed The Acolyte in 2024. There's bad, and then there's "point and laugh at", which is what Star Wars has become.

Lightsabers were skinny in the past because it was a stick with green tape that had post-processing effects added. That's also why they don't cast any light (except in a few scenes). Because Disney for some reason decided that buying toys from Star wars fans was a better idea. That's part of the reason that all of the power on buttons in the sequel trilogy are incorrect for Luke saber. Because the company that created the lightsaber has to stick electronics in there they used the big red button as the power button and because Disney's too stupid to have ever watched the original Star wars before buying them they didn't realize that's not how you turn on Luke saber

The Acolyte was so bad imo that even if it was a stand alone series and had nothing to do with the Wider Star Wars universe it's a failure. It did nothing in the first season to really draw people into the story and look forward to more. Actions seem to lack consequences as the MC seem to slaughter their way through the "Good guys", escape all blame and just move on with their lives. Never mind how the characters entire personalty and motivation changes on the drop of a dime, so nothing makes sense. It's like every scene they are a new character just played by the same actor.
