Episode 3 spends an entire episode to really hammer home that the jedi aren't always so great. They already hinted plenty before and after this episode about everything that matters in 3.

I wasn't waiting for poor action scenes where characters appear and disappear as the plot demands.

That's sort of how "wokeness" works though. The important part is the who, the what is totally irrelevant.

I'm fairly sure they aren't bots, but definitely pro Russia.

Disney hasn't been too happy with the performance of star wars as an IP.

In what world is it a positive trajectory? The first two episodes were by far the strongest, and it's been falling fast in 3 and 4.

There's also a pile of harem anime that used most the same ideas.

The dialog was always mediocre to bad, but otherwise the writing was pretty good. Characters had growth arcs, acted in understandable ways given their characterization.

The Acolyte isn't what Disney needed. The writing is every bit as bad as every other trash show.

It was clearly phoned in work that leaned heavily on previous themes.

Plenty of people have written/spoke in great detail about this. At this point you aren't actually interested in criticism of Disney's work.

I haven't has a car with mechanical locks in a long time. I've also not had a battery so dead the locks didn't work.
