THE WORST STAR WARS PROJECT IN HISTORY!!
When I first heard about this show, I was very excited to see a new part of the Star Wars timeline. When I saw the first two episodes, I was ver disappointed, not because they were bad, but because they weren’t good. They didn’t scream Star Wars because, although they had some of the elements of a good SW program, they seemed too edgy and dark for this franchise. They are quite unlike any of the original 6 movies or anything we have seen from lucasfilm. Overall I would give the first two episodes a 5-6 out of 10. I did not feel the need to write this review until I watched the third episode about 20 minutes ago.
Disney, I am appalled and disappointed by the atrocities you have placed in a Star Wars series. This is not what George Lucas would have wanted and this is NO LONGER A FAMILY FRIENDLY FRANCHISE.
The third episode of “The Acolyte” is borderline demonic. Half the episode is about witches performing demonic spells on children and forcing them to do their will. The sister is so indoctrinated that she burns the whole city to stop her sister. These witches were apparently exiled and persecuted due to their “unnatural practices”. At one point one of the characters tells the children’s mother that the Jedi can’t find out how she created them. What? Is Star Wars now making a show about casting spells to create life or using necromancy? If this is the case, I am afraid I will no longer endorse this show or your company.
If the third episode were not so bad, I may consider a two or even three star rating, but I can not give a decent review to something so offensive.
People are also saying that anyone who gives this show a bad review is some racist homophobic sexist white male bigot, which is a poor excuse to defend a bad show and has NOTHING to do with the bad reviews. I don’t care what the characters look like (diversity is a good thing), it’s a bad show!
Thanks for ruining all future Star Wars projects Disney, maybe watch the original trilogy before you make a show next time.
