Revenge/Justice

Lol. When the tour group is heading straight to the floating jedi dude, but the Main character breaks away, she somehow finds a shortcut and beats everyone there? Dude. That is so bad its freaking hilarious. Is this a plot hole? It sounds like bad tv just to introduce the anxiety, only for it to not matter 3 seconds later when the other young jedi confirms her story...

like so that means she either found a shortcut that no one else knew about..and this is her first time there too...Or the group stopped for a coffee break, which is never shown, unfortunately. I would have liked to see them having some coffee.

Instead of a two part opener. This could had easily been combined with the first episode.

The flat script and the earnest acting did not help the opening minutes. It felt too vanilla.

Also being just too late to save the next victim from his fate was a trope that could quickly become tiring.

The saving grace is that Acolyte does have few gears to crank. The mystery is just what did these four Jedis do in the past. What guilty sin are they shouldering?

This includes Master Sol, his name is in the hitlist.

So there is a mystery worth exploring but also just what to do with the Osha and Mae saga.

The writing and acting will certainly need to pep up a bit.

This is slightly better than the last episode because it has a few less insanely stupid plot holes (that lifting the dirt up was still pretty stupid). Also slightly more funny than the last one and brings some ok tension in the story.

This isn't terrible, but it's writing on the level of a CW superhero teen soap. Production quality is pretty good; sets and visuals are high quality. But, as has become a pattern with new Disney Star Wars properties (S1 Mandalorian & Andor excepted), the writing is insipid and formulaic; heroes - and especially villains - are cartoonish. They don't feel like nor behave like authentic persons. The leads don't possess charisma or chemistry. Expository dialogue is clunky and stale. Characters behave unintelligently, with implausible lack of the barest foresight, just because the script demands the plot keep moving. I'm hoping it improves, but sadly I'm not particularly hopeful.

There seems to be 2 types of Star Wars live action:

• Andor, the mandalorian season 1-2

OR

• kenobi, book of boba fett and ahsoka

This new acolyte show heavily leans towards the latter group. I am holding my opinion, but offering my perspective.

I would say that early to late teens would be the best audience for this show. The acting and script level is on par with Nickelodeon and Disney teen shows.

The plot is very straight forward backed by a script that will state exactly what will happen next.

The fight scenes are very well filmed and coordinated. The feel of it reminded me of watching Kung Fu tv shows as a kid.

The cast is more diverse than ever before. So new audiences will be able to find their own heroes in the Star Wars universe.

Sets and props are stunning. Really this is the part that shines in the show. But I don't think this part has ever been anything but excellent in SW.

This show clearly emphasizes pushing boundaries in a Star Trek like scenes, casting and dialog at times the show seemed like Star Trek entirely but with Star Wars sets. This aspect may make it or break it for you. I know this is a contentious topic. So I'll leave that there.

This episode seemed better than the 1st because one or two characters seemed intriguing to me.
