"Overwhelmingly-negative reviews flooded in leaving The Acolyte with an audience score of just 19% which is lower than the notorious 1978 Star Wars: Holiday Special."
The plot was focused more on points of view. Thanks, Obi-Wan.
I haven't heard this term since I graduated university
That's average.
good one
Words are hard.So, a term you haven't heard in a long time, a long time.
Eh?
Leslye Headland gave her first interview on The Acolyte's cancellation with The Wrap. To her credit, she seems pretty balanced and chill about it, saying she thinks "any gripes creatively with the show are completely valid. That’s people’s reaction." She also calls out the inherent negativity bias of YouTubers seeking to monetize their criticisms, which is fair.
However, she also says "the whole thing with The Acolyte was always a major risk. It was a new part of the timeline. It was all new characters. It was a part of the lore where you couldn’t use a Storm Trooper, you didn’t have the reference of the politics and war that Tony Gilroy has brilliantly exploited in such a genius way in Andor." To which I'd just rebut: that the Prequels, Sequels, The Clone Wars, etc., The Acolyte was yet another story about how most Jedi basically suck. (Not to mention Obi-Wan not being all that great in his own show.) Right after the Reylo dynamic, it was another story in which a prodigious young Force-wielding woman with parental tragedy issues was drawn to a bad boy Sith, and, much like the ST, PT, and, heck, OT too, it was a story in which a looming Sith master-monster was pulling the strings from the shadows. Soooo... I'm not sure it was really as striking a departure as she seems to think.
