So far I think everyone that was shitting on this show is insane, or stupid, or both. The Acolyte is a well written show that seems to explore parts of the Star Wars universe that are underutilized. We are getting to see and talk about what the flaws in the Jedi order are. We are getting to see how revenge and trauma don’t always have to lead to the Dark side. Also how it isn’t always about Dark vs Light. I think this show is adding a lot more substance and nuance to the Star Wars canon then it had before. The Acolyte episode 3 gives us some much needed context.

The show is moving at a good pace. As soon as I get answers the show gives me more questions. I love that we got a whole flashback episode and I think the placement of it was perfect. We got all the information we needed to still be intrigued by the characters and the story and still have questions about how it is going to continue. As this story evolves it becomes less about how one handles grief and anger and more about being born either good or evil. May was clearly born batshit crazy and Osha was born good. Then we see how trauma influences one’s natural state.
