Alannah Woodhouse

After strongly disliking this movie when I first saw it in cinema I decided to give it another chance. Im glad I did. Its definitely the best one of the sequels. I enjoyed watching Luke's journey as he deals with failure, hubris of the Jedi and how he ultimately sacrifices himself so that his student and some rebels can live just like Obi wan did for him. I think a lot of people wanted Luke to be this flawless figure but honestly, his journey in TLJ is more interesting. Also, Rey being a noone coming from nowhere was good. Dunno why they had to change that. The visuals are stunning, acting is good, the ideas and themes are nice. Is it perfect? No. Is it the worst thing ever? Far from it. There is plenty to like about this movie.

I will preface that the animation style is beautiful and I do like stories were women characters aren't mainly just male love interests. Oh and lesbians. :) However, I found the story and world building lacklustre. I also can't say that I liked any of the characters except Vi. Jinx just feels like a blue haired Smeagol to me. I really hate her creepy relationship with Silco. Speaking of Silco, characters that are creepy around little girls are always a MASSIVE turn off for me. Nope. Also the theme song is f-cking annoying. I hate it I can see why people like it but it's not for me.

The Acolyte is not a masterpiece like Andor or Rebels but it is showing itself to be enjoyable. It does not deserve the review bombings given to it by insecure bigotted man children who make any excuse to hate the show. In comparison to other star wars content, the acting and dialogue is decent. The Obi wan show and Ahsoka show were much more clunky in comparison. Nor was it the prequels cringe. The plot interesting, it's a mystery where I am left wanting to know what happened on Bendok between witches and the Jedi. Unlike the sequels it has consistent plot. Overall, give this show a chance.

Overall the show was excellent. Visuals amazing, story decent but honestly a bit slow paced towards the middle.

I really enjoyed this movie. Watched it a few times. Not sure why the critics hate it so much, it was a fun movie.
