Excellent follow-up and very timely. You can enjoy without having seen Falcon and the Winter Soldier.

Greatly enjoyed the fight scenes, easter eggs, new tech ideas, and actors chosen, and liked having a story a little more separated from the main trilogies. At the same time, I see there were plenty hints it was intended to eventually link to the prequel trilogy, which makes sense as it seems it was partly investing in showing how pride and the ignorance of nuance undermined the Jedi's ability to prevent the rise of Sidious. Ahsoka has been the only other Star Wars TV series I enjoyed as much. And to address the elephant in the room: Yes, I do have underlying irritations with the direction of the Disney corporation on many of its projects, including the consistency of the SW sequels. And no, I didn't assess there being some sinister injection of wokeness or whatever in The Acolyte. It was a good Star Wars show, that I hope we get more about someday, with many parts that I enjoyed and some I didn't.

Old school Disney movie with really straight-forward moral. A pleasure for kids and their nostalgia-indulgent parents.
