Star Wars: The Acolyte Trailer Review

With so much being released for Star Wars, another Disney+ show is no surprise. What is also not surprising is how confused everyone is.

For lore enthusiasts, the trailer leaves much to be desired. The costumes look cool, but that alone cannot help us identify a real setting or era. Most information we learn is from an interview with the director- someone who is currently under investigation for connections to crimes involving children…

Anyway.

The High Republic-era show trailer tries to be edgy, but lacks substance. The lighting, costumes, and script all seem generic for such a weighty concept. Standing alone, none of us were impressed or interested in the upcoming show.

The interview, unfortunately, was worse. The entirety of the show exists to shove the original lore aside to allow women and diverse storytelling to make a new era of Star Wars. George Lucas was kept out of production and all of this was said as if it isn’t pandering and is, instead, a great leap that everyone should rejoice in.

The Social Justice pandering has turned us off to this show and we will not be tuning in.

    No one else did either, because Season 2 is cancelled.
