Discussion for all things Star Wars. Movies, books, games, TV shows and more are welcome.

  1. Keep it civil. Don’t insult other community members in posts or comments, and don’t make posts designed to insult other community members or parts of the fandom with different opinions.

  2. Posts must be on-topic.

  3. No real life politics. That means no political advocacy, and no real life political discussions vaguely dressed up as on-topic posts. If you want to discuss real life politics, you are free to start your own community.

  4. No memes/low-effort spam/Youtube poops style posts. !starwarsmemes@lemmy.world is a place for those.

  5. Posts must be coherent.

  6. If a post is otherwise allowed but has realistic gore or nudity, please mark it NSFW.

Things that went wrong with The Acolyte:

  • It spoiled its "mystery" in its first episode but then continued to act like we, the audience, were in the dark about it

  • A lot of the conflict came from characters holding the Idiot Ball for no reason and never communicating

  • It killed off all the most interesting characters that it had spent the entire season fleshing out, and then asked us to tune in next season to follow the continuing adventures of the characters it hadn't managed to make us care about (and Qimir who's cool but not cool enough to carry a show on his own)

Add in that its episode breaks were very nearly arbitrary. I have heard that people who waited and binged it liked it a little more.
