In this Disney Star Wars Video Essay, we are finally bringing our videos on The Acolyte to an end, as the show has now completed its 8-episode run on Disney Plus. The Acolyte from Leslye Headland has seen its fair share of controversy throughout its run, but we take an in-depth look into why this is one of if not the worst Star Wars Show yet. How have Disney and Lucasfilm allowed Star Wars to become a laughing stock? We dive into it all and close the chapter on this terrible show.

    Basically Disney needs to take every achievement by the original characters and give it to their new ones Han Solo didn’t redeem himself, he failed Anakin wasn’t the chosen one, it was Rey Luke didn’t defeat the empire and emperor, it was Rey Plagueis didn’t discover how to create life, he learned it from the witches etc.

    I watched the show: Didn’t understand it So I watched YouTube deals on it: Still don’t understand it. This show is just bad. Star Wars needs to just take a hiatus

    What Thanos says to the sequels, TBOBF, OWK, TMS3, and Ahsoka. After seeing The Acolyte. "Perhaps I treated you too harshly."
  • @hithere_1967
    Rey did go from being no one to kicking everyone’s ass in…a little more than a week.
  • @Graavigala85
    "where did this show go wrong" well it all started when Disney bough StarWars...
  • @sharkanenoa5928
    The only lesson they learned from SOUTH PARK was to DOUBLE THE FUCK DOWN!!!
  • @billusher2265
    What people don’t talk about is how despite arguably being the best thing Disney Star Wars made, Andor didn’t do great either 16:46 That’s the biggest issue here, they’ve damaged the brand so much even if they made something great it can still get lackluster popularity, it’s hard to be excited for Star Wars when you’ve come to expect mediocre content and being attacked and condescended to for not liking it.

    Bad leadership with no creative sensibilities. Dune and Andor have set a bar of quality for modern sci-fi, and I will not accept less.
  • @Romadon75
    This makes killer klowns from outer space writing look like academy awarding winning writing.
  • @itszeronizer597
    Alas, Disney still refuses to acknowledge that it’s DOING SOMETHING WRONG.
  • Seeing Plagueis show up made me shout, out loud, “OH COME THE F_CK ON!” It wouldn’t be a finale of a Disney Star Wars show without more soulless fanbaiting and also crapping on George’s story more, breaking more canon, and making Anakin’s birth even less special.

    This show reminds me of Last of Us 2: Good plot ideas with potential fun themes but had awful writing delivery and pacing.
