Star Wars Acolyte

Season One:  

Episodes One through Eight, this Disney + streaming show for children 7 UP is a live action mini season set in the Disney/Lucasfilm Star Wars universe.  

For it's premiere they streamed episodes One and Two, giving viewers a look see into the timeline this show is set.  

There are a group of Women, various species on the planet they use the THREAD in their meetings, the Mother of the group used the thread to create children twins Osha and Mae.  

Mae blames the Jedi for death of her Mothers and calls out Jedi in a cantina.   They fight,  Mae defeats the Jedi with a small size knife.   

The pace of the show needs work, it can drag in all episodes.   
Episodes Three through Eight: In this program, the Jedi are pretty out matched by 'The Thread,'  One meditating Jedi Master, takes poison delivered by Mae and un-alives himself.   If you are going to watch this show thinking the Jedi are Heros and Heroines,  you might be disappointed.   

The Cast does a fair job, One through Eight with the scripts, direction, training that they were given.

This show introduces characters of the LGBTQN + and Lesley's story Arch which Kathleen Kenndy and Lucasfilm Disney approved for the show.

The show does not hide the fact that Sith Lords are actually alive and SITHING, in this timeline.

This show gives an Amazonian Arch to the Female Thread Users.  The Jedi are not the power welding Priests we are used to seeing from the previous Star Wars Shows and Movies.

It is confusing at times with Characters who in the blink of an eye go from Light to Sith with Jedi - Sith .  

Problematic is that none of the Jedi Masters including Yoda never sense these virgence in the Force much less the thread. 
The Jedi fight scenes are akin to Anime fighting,  so it's not your usual Jedi fighting. 

If Acolyte gets a Season Two, they really need to be mindful of Scripts,  Continuity, pacing and fighting scenes.  

Turns out the Twins are not twins , they are the same person spilt into.    There Mother is killed by the Jedi Sol accidentally.   The split person kills him.   

Many Jedi die by Sith or Thread split person.   It isn't clear how the Women Witches found the thread, nor why the Jedi appear bumbling.  So Thread Choke Sol. Re write Star Wars beginnings. 

I could go on,but I am stopping here and rating the entire show

Based on a Zero to TEN Star system:  My rating is Four Stars.  



May the force be with you.


Peace OUT.
