The Acolyte's biggest weakness is its writing. It makes nonsensical jumps in thinking that make no logical sense. In the first episode the main character kills a Jedi, despite the fact that she has been aboard a ship the entire time this takes place and has never left. Jedi come and arrest her despite all this but then put her on an automated transport because she is dangerous, but apparently not that dangerous. The mini-mystery of how she does this ends with the Jedi remembering she had an identical twin sister who they thought was dead. This is nonsense. This isn't how people do things. There are no logical steps, it's jumping to where they need the characters to be to do the next thing. And this is the core issue with the Acolyte: it has terrible writing. You could have the best actors in the world, if the writing is a mess, nothing they do is going to fix it. It had potential. I have other issues, like it being too close to the prequels,so they could add in unnecessary cameos. It's like they knew the writing was bad and like so many shows they had to add the cameos so people would watch. It adds nothing to the greater Star Wars universe, and makes the Jedi order look like fools. You miss nothing by not watching this.
