As a longtime Star Wars fan, the moment I saw the trailer for “The Acolyte,” I knew the franchise had taken a dramatic turn for the worse. The storyline is lacklustre, and the characters are poorly developed. The forced progressive content feels out of place and detracts from the experience. Overall, the show fails to deliver the engaging content and compelling character arcs that fans have come to expect. It’s a huge disappointment and a blemish on the Star Wars legacy.
