Each new Star Wars project is its own blank canvas on which the writers have an opportunity to either build upon existing lore or find new paths. The Acolyte attempts to blaze a new trail, while still respecting existing lore. While it's not perfect, it's a pretty fun and exciting look into the High Republic era. The casting of the main characters was excellent. The visuals and fight scenes were incredible. There were cameos, easter eggs and showcasing of lore not previously found in live-action. The overall storyline and character arcs were compelling and leave you wanting more. On the flip side, the dialog at times was less than stellar and pacing at times felt a little slower than what it should be for a 40 minute show. I loved the 'duality' concept of episodes and the season in general, but often times it impacted the overall flow and made it feel a little disjointed. Overall, an excellent show. One of the better live-action shows they've produced. Even if you're not a hard-core Star Wars fan and just a sci-fi fan in general, I think you'll enjoy it.

I've seen all of the Marvel movies and TV shows, but I still wouldn't consider myself a huge Marvel fan. I didn't grow up with the comics, but I enjoy the franchise. I like that each hero and movie has their own personality and tone and they don't all try to do and be the same thing (even though they tend to overuse certain formulas). She-Hulk wanted to do and be something completely different than most other Marvel films/shows and I think they hit it out of the park. It was fun and funny, while also being unique and empowering. Not as much action as previous shows, but was as entertaining (or more) than most. Loved it. Hoping for a season 2.
