With so much star wars options out there, I genuinely didn't have much hope for the Acolyte but so far it's been fun to watch. It feels like the fluff has been removed. No needlessly long shoot outs or long drawn out biker gang chase scenes. I am enjoying the acting and fresh cast. Jedi powers feel balanced. Mae's way of using the force so far in 2 episodes has been really cool. It honestly gives me season 1 Mandalorian energy. I'm excited to see the twists and turns of the plot.
