Here we go,
So Acolyte is set in the high republic era where there is some pretty deep lore. Lore many star wars will be introduced too that have not read books/followed up in the games and cartoon mentions.
The threads of the force is not a new to the franchise, nor were cultures that used the force as though it was magic (A more tribal term for the force). Diving into this area of understanding reminds me of some of the times in the cartoons about the Night Sisters with how they used their (Magic). Cultures like this were all throughout the galaxy, and one such race called the Sa'ari were a fully female race, all force sensitive, and able to procreated through a form of parthenogenesis by use of the force. Many people don't know this but it is in fact part of the Legends series (Gorge lucas's era), so when people on here are calling out "This isn't what Gorge Lucas would do, and it's so woke!!!" Have no idea what they are talking about because Disney lore, is still following his core ideals.
Currently in the show, we have Many different path possibilities, each not seeming to be of good intentions. So far I'm at about 32 possibilities, need another episode to narrow it down, all within current star wars lore. And yet we see people saying the Writing is bad? Hell no, Not with how much re-research I've had to do compared to other shows.
People seem to be expecting children to have this elaborate method of story telling/ deep connection with the audience. This is their own vision and not what the writing tells us, it is children at the stage where they are trying to better understand themselves and pushing past their boundaries, and also trying to hang onto what they have, In their correct age range dialogue.
I will update this later as the show continues on, I'll give it a 5 for now (It's about 4.5 for me so far) But I wouldn't hold a lot of weight on the 1 star reviews since the show is not even finished yet and there is a large youtube/tiktok creator push trying to downplay the show to make money off views.
