The conversation around The Acolyte is insanity.
It’s been the best show since Andor because it explores aspects of Star Wars lore that have largely been ignored because Disney focuses on easy to digest simple good vs evil narratives to appeal to as many eyes as possible.
Just like every quality show that takes risks, it has its issues but the story is compelling.
Unfortunately, any interesting conversations about the show have been drowned out by bigots who are just really upset about Black and Brown people in space shattering their monoculture delusion about a space fantasy.
I’ll always love Star Wars, but the fan base is toxic to anything not white.
It just hates anything that deviates from this white savior narrative they’ve completely made up and isn’t even in line with the original story.
